My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1068 Whoever is fierce and cruel will survive! Thanks to the gift of nature!

"Boom boom boom~~~"

The eight thousand defenders, regardless of military class, were all armed with crossbows and divided into three groups.

The crossbow arrows piled up under the battlements of the city wall quickly decreased and turned into death notices.

The dense arrows blocked out the sunlight, making the battlefield outside Zhuocheng dim.

Groups of Donghu slaves wearing cloth or simple leather armor fell on the way to the charge, but there were constant slaves to fill their places and continue to charge forward.

Hu Riheti drove his horse to the front line and shouted angrily: "Keep charging!"

"Whoever can rush up the city wall first will be hailed as a warrior and will be able to enjoy the fattest mutton and the most beautiful women!"

"Otherwise, die!"

In the center of the coalition army, Battelle did not look at the dead slaves, but looked at Deng Ming standing on the city wall, with admiration in his eyes: "With such a small force facing 400,000 Tungus warriors, he still dared to fight!"

"He's a warrior!"

"Pass this king's order!"

"The troops of the great Danghu Huugjil are approaching the enemy city."

"King Zuo Guli's troops set up stone-throwing machines."

"Attack the enemy together!"

Upon hearing the general's order, Huugjil immediately ordered: "Captain Tebul and Captain Turen's troops dismount, select two thousand slaves to hold up shields for protection, and advance carefully in formation!"

"Captain Wuti is approaching the front line, ready to deal with the enemy troops leaving the city at any time!"

Tebur and Turen both punched their hearts with their right fists and immediately led their subordinates to dismount from their horses.

With their feet on the solid ground, the two thousand Donghu elite soldiers felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, and they walked staggeringly.

Fortunately, the Donghu slaves had no problem walking, and they immediately picked up their rectangular shields and formed a mobile defense line, covering the elite soldiers below as they slowly walked towards the northern wall of Zhuocheng.

"Dong Dong Dong~~~Ah~"

The sound of arrows hitting shields rang out like rain hitting banana leaves, and from time to time an unlucky Donghu slave or Donghu elite soldier would die under the crossbow arrows.

Once a Donghu slave holding a shield was shot and killed, and the Donghu slaves beside him failed to immediately shrink their positions and fill the defense line, the crossbow arrows that followed would set off an unstoppable wave of death!

After sacrificing the lives of more than 400 slaves and over 100 elite soldiers, the Tebul and Turen tribes finally pulled the city wall within 40 meters of Zhuocheng.

Tebul shouted angrily: "Choose your own target and kill the enemy at will."

"One shot at a time, don't be greedy!"

"Warriors, shoot!"

The Donghu servants tilted their shields slightly following the sound, revealing a small gap.

The Donghu elite soldiers had already held bows and arrows in their hands, and as soon as the gap appeared, they followed the gap to observe the position of the defenders on the city.

At the same time, Deng Ming's eyes were fixed on the two enemy troops approaching the city wall. As soon as he noticed a gap, he shouted, "Shoot!"

The Donghu elite soldiers quickly selected their targets, drew their bows and shot arrows.

But the Qin crossbowmen didn't even bother to look at it, nor did they care whether the target of their crossbow arrows was a person or a shield. They didn't even need to complete the action of drawing the bow. They just needed to aim in the general direction and pull the trigger hard!
“Bang bang bang~~~Boom!”

"Shield together!"

"Dend your body!"

"Fill the gap quickly! Quick!"

This is a race between the speed of the flesh and the speed of the arrow.

All soldiers who move slower than arrows will pay the price with their lives!
If the Donghu elite soldiers wanted to survive, they not only needed to move fast themselves, but also had to hope that their slaves would move fast enough. On the other hand, the Qin army's crossbowmen not only had less of their bodies exposed in cover and a shorter time in cover, but they only needed to squat on the spot to avoid arrows.

A round of short bow fire took the lives of more than fifty Qin soldiers.

But a volley of Qin crossbows took the lives of more than a hundred Donghu elite soldiers and more than three hundred Donghu slaves!
not only that!

Seeing that there were a lot of gaps in the shield formation formed by the Donghu slaves, Deng Ming ordered without hesitation: "Second row! Target the gaps in the crossbow formation in front! Shoot straight! Fire!"

Deng Ming fully demonstrated his character traits when he was gathering in the mountains of Dongling Mountain.

Whenever they see a bit of weakness, they will use it as a breakthrough point to bite off a large piece of flesh!
Round after round of crossbow arrows were shot out without stopping. A Donghu slave was carrying a shield to fill the gap left by his dead comrades, but the next moment he was also killed by a crossbow arrow.

As a result, the gap in Tebul's defense line became larger and larger, and more and more Donghu elite soldiers were directly exposed to the crossbowmen's shooting range, and could only watch as the huge crossbow arrows pierced through their bodies!

Turber grabbed a servant and ordered him to stand beside him with a shield to protect him. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Stop making trouble!"

"Who is vicious! Who is cruel! Who can survive!"

"The Tungus warriors born in the mountains and forests will not fear any enemy. After we die, we will all return to the embrace of Changshengtian!"

Every Donghu person who survives to adulthood is a qualified hunter. The bow and arrow is their best companion and the most advantageous weapon for them to suppress rebellion.

So Tebul knew very well that their biggest enemy was not the enemy's crossbow arrows, but the fear in their own hearts.

If they are afraid, the Qin army's output environment will become more comfortable, and the density of crossbow arrows will rise to a higher level.

The only way they can survive is to fight back with more ferocious arrows and scare the Qin army so much that they dare not stand up!
Seizing the shield, Tebul pulled the short bow and shot four arrows in a flash, killing three Qin crossbowmen on the spot. He also shot a crossbowman in the left arm, which frightened a dozen crossbowmen so much that they squatted down subconsciously.

Tebul quickly got back under the shield and roared, "Fight back! Fight back hard!" Under Tebul's leadership, the two elite Donghu soldiers no longer panicked to find shelter like skinny rats crossing the street, but launched a counterattack against the Qin army on the city wall amid the crossbow arrows.

It’s a pity that a solid city wall cannot be trampled upon by courage alone.

Even though Tebul's troops fought back resolutely, the casualty ratio between the Donghu elite soldiers and the Qin army's crossbowmen still reached a terrifying fifteen to one!

However, the heavy casualties of the two Tebur tribes also won valuable fighting opportunities for Erlechin's troops.

Thousands of slaves dug the ground and dug out deep and narrow holes. Twenty-three tall and straight wooden sticks were inserted a hundred feet outside the wall of Zhuocheng, and combined with the masts to form twenty-three rope-drawn catapults.

Erleqin immediately ordered: "All units, listen to my orders!"

"throw!"

Two thousand three hundred slaves immediately rushed towards the catapult, each carrying a thick hemp rope on his shoulders.

"Yo! Hey~" They adjusted their postures while shouting loudly, and finally burst into a unified shout: "Ha!"

Two thousand three hundred slaves ran forward with all their might, and their strength flowed along the hemp rope and gathered at the top of the pole. The pole installed on the top of the wooden stick immediately fell down, causing the net bag at the end of the pole to suddenly rise up.

When the net bag slides over the highest point of the parabola, the contents in the net bag will be thrown forward.

In Deng Ming's vision, there were dark shadows all over the sky pouring down towards Zhuocheng!

Deng Ming saw this and shouted, "Get down!"

"Boom! Boom! Bang! Boom!"

A stone fell beside Deng Ming and hit a crossbow sergeant!
A dent was smashed into the helmet, and the sergeant's eyes, which were originally filled with murderous intent, instantly became numb and lifeless. After staggering a few steps, he fell weakly to the ground, and then a red and white liquid flowed out from the edge of the helmet.

"Oh no! The enemy has built a catapult!"

"There are endless enemy troops outside the city, and our garrison only has 10,000 people. How can we defend the city?"

"Don't panic! Anyone who dares to act without orders will be killed!"

Nearly two hundred fist-sized stones only killed five Qin soldiers, and the remaining stones were deeply embedded in the rammed earth wall. Not only could they not harm the soldiers, they could not even pose any threat to the wall.

But the unexpected death that came from the sky made all the Qin soldiers feel gloomy in their hearts, and they subconsciously wanted to look at the sky to prevent themselves from being hit by stones.

Deng Ming did not pay attention to the turbulent morale on the city wall. Instead, he looked at the shadows falling into the city and whispered an order: "Send scouts into the city quickly and find out what the enemy threw into the city as soon as possible!"

The scout took the order and left, but soon ran back quickly, whispering excitedly, "It's a corpse!"

Deng Ming was slightly startled, and then shouted in joy: "Comrades!"

"The enemy threw not only stones into the city, but also corpses!"

"The corpses of the enemy!"

"All the credit for entering the city will be shared equally among all the comrades!"

The barbarians are not good at attacking cities.

Their most common tactic is to throw human or animal corpses and golden juice into the city in an attempt to summon a god who can destroy the city at will - Plague!
However, for the Qin army, throwing gold juice is like sending weapons to the Qin army, and throwing animal corpses can also be a meal, but what if it is a human corpse?

We were worried that we couldn't get out of the city to chop off the enemy's heads, but the enemy actually came to our door?
Thank you for the gift of nature!

The morale that had just been shaken suddenly recovered a little. The Qin soldiers looked at the catapults outside the city without murderous intent, but with a sense of intimacy.

Deng Ming took advantage of the situation and shouted: "Don't pay any attention to the enemy's catapults!"

"Compared to our trebuchets, the enemy's trebuchets are nothing but child's work!"

"Target the enemy troops under the city, shoot with crossbows!"

The Qin army in the city responded in unison: "Yes!"

Seeing that the defenders of Zhuocheng only took a few hundred breaths to regroup, Bater's admiration grew stronger: "What a brave warrior!"

"What a pity that you are blocking my way!"

Dalai frowned and said, "The defenders of this city are really elite soldiers!"

"The commander of this city is also a brave general!"

"Father, are we going to do as our ancestors said and cut off their food and water supplies, throw corpses into the city, roam around to attack the enemy's reinforcements, and force the enemy to defeat without a fight?"

"Otherwise, if our army wants to capture this city, I'm afraid it will have to pay a heavy price in casualties!"

Bartel shook his head and said, "No."

"Opportunities are fleeting."

"Once the main force of the Qin army discovers our movement, they will definitely come back to support us. Our army must occupy the advantageous terrain before the enemy army comes back to support us!"

"Send the order!"

"Send more elite troops to the city and shoot the defenders!"

Battelle resolutely shouted: "At any cost! Attack day and night!"

"We must capture Zhuocheng within three days!"
