Chapter 722 Siege
Just as everyone's voices fell, a horn suddenly sounded from the tower, which was a warning for the Tatar soldiers to attack.

Everyone's expressions changed. After hearing this, Sheng Xi said directly: "Xin Ru, take them to get their weapons. Others, prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, it was mixed but not chaotic.Among them, Wang Xiao's feelings were particularly obvious, just because these people were his former colleagues. Although Qian Zhenfu was a good official, perhaps it was because of the war, or even more likely because of Sheng Xi, that it could be clearly seen that The disorganized troops now displayed the demeanor of an iron army.The people behind them no longer looked at them with the initial disdain and vigilance, but only with gratitude and worry.

He looked up at Sheng Xi who was running quickly up the tower. For a moment, he really wanted to say thank you to Sheng Xi.However, this thank you can only be postponed for the time being, because the next step is life or death, this time it is really coming!
Outside the city, a large torch lit up almost half of the sky.The screams of the Tatar soldiers came from a long distance away. The sound was so loud that they seemed to be well prepared.

Sheng Xi looked coldly at the Tatar soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and saw that almost each of them had a shield, which was obviously used to defend against the crossbow fire.Since the opponent is well prepared, they don't need to be rigid anymore. It would only take a blink of an eye to rush over from a distance of 800 meters. At this time, there is no need to save crossbow arrows.

Therefore, when the Tatar soldiers reached the shooting range, Sheng Xi directly ordered to shoot, and at the same time prepared the bed crossbow with a range of 500 meters.

Not long after the crossbow arrow was fired, screams came from the originally roaring Tatar army.The power of the bed crossbow cannot be underestimated. Even if the opponent has a shield to resist, some of them will still be penetrated.But penetration is also limited. The shield is useful anyway. Most of them are pierced into the shield and are either shocked or injured. In the end, only a few are killed by one arrow.

Taking this opportunity, the Tatar soldiers advanced a lot and soon reached the 500-meter range.

Another wave of crossbow arrows came, this time with more numbers and hurting more enemies than before.But no matter how much, it can't match the opponent's forward speed.I don't know what benefits the general promised these Tatar soldiers, but they were not afraid of death. They even stepped on the corpses of their companions, or even rushed forward holding the corpses of their companions.

On the city tower, everyone didn't stop for almost a second, and the crossbow arrows could be thinned by turning their heads.

Finally, the opponent rushed to [-] meters, and then continued to rush forward.

Wang Xiao called Sheng Xi, and Sheng Xi directly ordered: "Archers, prepare! Prepare kerosene!"

The next moment, the crossbowmen, who had already suppressed their anger, directly burned the fire sticks in their hands.

However, Sheng Xi did not give the order to shoot, but calmly watched the Tatar soldiers approaching little by little.

Everyone clenched their palms and looked ahead without blinking.They were like cheetahs getting ready to attack, their muscles tense, just waiting for the next moment to bite off the neck of their prey.

Seeing the Tatar soldier charging forward again, Sheng Xi, who had not spoken yet, suddenly shouted: "Get ready, pull!"

"Whoa!" Countless ropes suddenly tightened, hanging in the air between the city tower and the ground. Just as those ropes bounced up, something seemed to be brought up at the end connected to the ground, and what followed was It was a scream of people turning their backs on their backs.

On the city tower, when the soldiers heard the cry, they all looked up to the sky and screamed in anger, but the next second they heard Sheng Xi suddenly give an order: "Archers, release arrows!"

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" The sharp arrows wrapped in oilcloth shot towards the bottom of the tower with unquenchable flames.In order to help out, the villagers in that city took the risk and quietly left the city in the middle of the night, quietly digging a trench a hundred meters away from the city gate.The trench was covered with wooden planks for camouflage. One end of the wooden planks was connected to the tower. As long as the rope on the tower was pulled, it would become a trap that was not too deep.But don't underestimate this trap, because there is a layer of tung oil and other flammable materials underneath the trap.The moment the long arrow was fired, the inconspicuous trench suddenly turned into a dangerous place for people and flesh to be eaten. With the roar of fire, all the Tatar soldiers who had no time to react were wrapped in it.

Almost instantly, the area under the city tower was completely illuminated, and everyone could clearly see the Tatar soldiers who were howling and dancing with the fire.

The people on the tower were gnashing their teeth with pleasure, but below the tower, the Tatar general wished he could swing his sword and kill all these cunning and insidious Li people!

"Damn it!" the Tatar general cursed fiercely, "Damn it, let me rush you! Whoever is the first to climb the tower, I will reward him with a hundred taels of gold! And I will give him my favorite beauty! "

"Ouch!" The Tatar soldiers were shocked by the wall of fire. After hearing the other party's words, they immediately screamed.The original retreat was enticed to move forward, and he once again rushed forward like a shot of chicken blood without caring about anything else, covering his head.

This time, they really used the bodies of their companions to build a bridge. They did not care for the one hundred taels of gold and the beauty that the general loved most.

Everyone on the tower was stunned. Although they already knew how cruel the Tatar soldier was, they were still shocked by the way the other party showed no regard for his companions.

This is simply, this is simply inhumane!
But that’s how they are!
Suddenly, a cold voice came from beside them, like pouring cold water on their brains, making them wake up immediately.

Just listen to the voice saying: "Don't be stunned! The archers keep shooting! Yasha is ready to shoot!"

"Yes!" Everyone no longer dared to be stunned and calmed down in a hurry.

The power of Yaksha was huge. He fired all kinds of bows, crossbows and long arrows, but he still failed to stop the Tatar soldiers.The ladder was finally put up on the city wall. The soldiers used forks to push the ladder up again and again, but the other party put it up again and again.Because there were too many Tatar soldiers, and they were few in number, their physical strength was so exhausted that in the end, the number of times they knocked down the ladders could no longer keep up with the number of times they were framed.Soon, Tatar soldiers stepped onto the tower.

However, it rained all night, and there was only a loud "dong" sound under the city tower. The enemy's battering ram was successfully pushed forward and hit the city gate hard.

Suddenly, the city gate, which was not strong enough, began to fall dustyly and swayed visibly to the naked eye.

Sheng Xi turned his head and looked at the bottom of the city tower. There were densely packed heads of people crowded below, scrambling to move upward or toward the city gate, all with the same purpose.

Under the firelight, she squinted her eyes hard, pursed her red lips tightly and said in her heart: "Since everyone has the same purpose, let's see who can persevere to the end!"
