Hundreds of soldiers hugged the log, which weighed several tons, and continued to fall crazily toward the tall city wall.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One, two, three…ten…

They had already knocked on the wall dozens of times, but there was still no change to the tall city wall.

Not even a crack appeared, let alone a terrifying crack.

This strength was really too terrifying.

Although siege vehicles were usually used to attack the city gates, the city walls should have collapsed long ago if they were attacked at such a frequency.

But now, the city wall was actually not damaged at all. It was in a very good condition.

"This, what kind of joke is this? This hardness can actually reach this level. Is this really a project that can be completed in one night?”

Meng Tian was stunned. She could not believe her eyes.

How could such a fierce attack not cause any damage to the city wall?

"This city wall can actually be so hard?”

Fu Su could not believe his eyes either. He looked at Meng Yi curiously and asked.

" I'm not sure either, but I still can't believe it when I see this…"

Meng Yi blinked and rubbed his eyes. He could not believe that a city wall could actually withstand such a strong attack.

"I'm so tired. Why isn't there any trace left behind?”

The soldiers who pushed the logs against the city wall were tired. They only felt their arms ache and their hands were weak.

Just now, they felt that they had used all their strength, and now they had no strength left.

They sat on the ground weakly and looked at the city wall. They never dreamed that they would be able to meet such a solid city wall.

"Let's try!"

At this moment, the Xiongnu appeared.

They had once breached the city walls of cities in the Central Plains, but they had never seen such a strong city wall. Even after such hard work, there was no sign of it being broken.

They didn't believe their eyes, and they didn't believe that the Qin people could build such a powerful city wall.

Therefore, they continued to wave the logs and began to hit the city wall.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Xiongnu soldiers ferociously rammed against the city wall, and the city wall continued to emit low and deep sounds.

After a few times, the city wall still did not crack at all. It still appeared on the spot as usual.

Crash!

At this moment, a loud cracking sound entered everyone's ears.

Hearing this voice, people quickly looked over.

They found that the city wall was still intact, but the logs that were used to hit the city wall had actually shattered.

Seeing this, everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air. The toughness of this city wall was completely beyond their imagination.

"This, what kind of joke is this?"

The Huns were dumbfounded. They were confident that they could smash through the city wall, but they did not expect that the specially processed logs would lose their effect first.

"Yes, the hardness is also qualified. Next is the final test. Get on the catapult!”

Ye Xiu once again carefully inspected the exterior of the Great Wall. He looked at the degree of distortion outside the Great Wall and then said with satisfaction.

To be able to withstand these two rounds of attacks, it meant that the Great Wall's survivability in ancient times was very strong, far surpassing everything in the present.

"Are we really going to get on the catapult?"

Meng Tian was a little surprised. She had thought that Ye Xiu was just joking. She hadn't expected Ye Xiu to actually get on the catapult.

"That's right, use all ten of them. Attack ten times first. Everyone, retreat!”

Ye Xiu looked at Meng Tian and nodded.

"This test should be enough. Isn't it a little too much to use a catapult?”

Looking at Ye Xiu, Fu Su asked curiously.

In Fu Su's opinion, a city wall that could survive the attacks of arrows and siege vehicles was already a very successful city wall. What they needed to do now was to continue the construction and strive for the completion of the city wall as soon as possible.

"It's not too much. These arrows can only shoot up to the height of the wall, and the siege chariots can only attack the bottom of the wall. Only the top has not been detected, so we can only use the catapults.”

Ye Xiu pointed at Great Wall and said to everyone present.

The Great Wall was not an ordinary city wall, but a majestic city wall. It was a hundred meters tall, like a mountain standing on the edge of a grassland.

The people outside loved to use catapults, so this test was very important.

"Ye Xiu is right. The main purpose of the Great Wall is to defend against the Xiongnu. If it couldn't even defend against a catapult's attack, then its practical value would be greatly reduced.”

Meng Yi nodded. He was already very satisfied with the Great Wall's effects.

However, he still wanted to see if the Great Wall City had the strength to fight back under the destruction of the catapults.

One had to know that among all weapons, the lethality and power of the catapults were undoubtedly the number one existence.

"Alright, let's begin!"

Hearing Meng Yi's words, Fu Su nodded, indicating that they could start now.

Soon, the catapult was slowly activated. Rocks were placed into the catapult, and it was ready to be launched at any time.

"Release!"

Meng Tian quickly gave the order to the soldiers.

Then, the catapult threw all the rocks accurately at the Great Wall.

"Leader, do you think the Great Wall built by the Qin Empire can withstand the attacks of the catapults?”

At this moment, the Xiongnu leader asked Amutuo curiously.

"Difficult. The power of a catapult is not something that ordinary weapons can compare to!”

Amuto immediately shook his head. He still had some distrust of the defensive power of the Great Wall. After all, this thing had only been erected overnight.
