The soldiers were at the bottom, and there was nothing to hide around them, so they could not suppress their opponents with bows and arrows. On the contrary, several people on their side were shot by arrows, and some were injured by wood and rolling stones.
The wounded soldiers immediately retreated under the cover of their comrades.
However, the other soldiers did not stop moving forward. The soldiers with shields rushed to the front, while the soldiers at the back continued to fill the soil while consuming the logs and rolling stones above.
Soon, with their advantage in numbers, they were like a gray-black wave, rolling up the mountain path.
This time, the bows and arrows of the soldiers could threaten the walls.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Zhu Wu did not even bat an eyelid when he saw the dozen arrows flying towards him. With his current reaction speed, these arrows seemed to be moving in slow motion in his eyes.
"Why don't the three of you go down and rest for the time being?”Zhu Wu said.
Peng Da snorted and said unhappily,""Tiger King, although my strength is not as good as yours, I will not lose to you in terms of courage.”
Guo Ming and Sun San looked at each other. Guo Ming suddenly raised his shield and blocked an arrow. He laughed and said,"There are no cowards in our Guo Village. Tiger King, don't underestimate us.”
"Me too." Sun San followed closely.”
Zhu Wu nodded and looked behind Guo Ming." This one is staying too?"”
Guo Ming then remembered that the young miss was still on the wall. He had been watching the soldiers attack and had forgotten about it.
"This…"
He had just said that there were no cowards in the Guo Manor. If he were to let them go down, it would be a slap to his face.
However, it didn't seem appropriate for her to stay in such a dangerous place…
"I'm not leaving, I'm not a coward.”Ma Xiuying deliberately raised her voice, imitating the way the servant at home spoke. She even pretended to be unhappy that she was being looked down upon.
Zhu Wu chuckled." Alright, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you."”
He turned around.
Ma Xiuying stole a glance at him and vaguely felt that this guy seemed to have noticed something.
Since the Tiger King had spoken, Guo Ming couldn't say anything more. He leaned closer to the Miss and hid his shield in front of her.
"Uncle Ming, I have a shield." Ma Xiuying whispered in Guo Ming's ear.
Zhu Wu didn't bother about Guo Ming and the others anymore. He looked at the wall, where the light soldiers were filling bags of soil into the trenches that had been dug at the last minute.
The trench wasn't deep, and it was filled up in a short while. However, the soldiers still left behind a dozen or so corpses.
"The number of Black Flag Bandits is indeed small.”Song Qing, who was riding on a horse, said in surprise.
"The obstacles along the way have been filled up. Can we let the armored soldiers go?" I see that the wall isn't very sturdy. With a hundred armored soldiers and light soldiers covering it, at most dozens or hundreds of people will die.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Song Qing, only to see that Song Qing was deep in thought.
"Big brother? General?" Song Pin asked.
Song Qing nodded slightly and said,"We can charge forward, but a hundred soldiers won't be enough…Add another hundred men!”
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements."
Song Pin immediately gave the order. With a hurried drumbeat, two hundred burly men clad in iron armor stepped out of the crowd.
The light soldiers below the wall shot arrows upwards, or stabbed their spears and halberds through the gaps between the logs of the wall. There was a gap in the middle of the wall that was half a meter high and two meters long. It was used to put the wood and rolling stones. At this moment, it was also targeted by the archers of the soldiers.
Under the cover of these light infantrymen, the armored soldiers finally arrived at the base of the stockade wall. They put down the large blades and axes on their shoulders and began to hack at the stockade wall.
At this moment, figures suddenly appeared on top of the stockade wall, raising bows and arrows in their hands and firing wildly.
These people had been crouching behind the stockade wall all this while. This sudden attack had dealt a huge blow to the soldiers.
Some of the light infantrymen who had raised their shields to protect the armored soldiers fell to the ground, and the light infantrymen who did not have shields to protect them suffered heavy casualties.
For a moment, a large number of screams rang out in the village.
However, these people were worthy of being elite hereditary soldiers. They were all strong soldiers. Even if they were suddenly attacked, the soldiers did not panic at all.
The heavy-armored soldiers did not even raise their heads as they continued to chop down the walls. The shieldmen of the light infantrymen endured the casualties and still meticulously protected the armored soldiers. The archers were running while firing their arrows. The saber-halberd soldiers held their weapons in their mouths and actually used their hands to climb up the walls…
"Let's go!"
Zhu Wu swung his steel knife and knocked away a few arrows. He looked down and saw that the wall was about to be cut down. He did not show any emotion and walked down the wall calmly.
As soon as he left, Peng Da and the others followed along with Ma Xiuying.
After a while, all the archers on the wall retreated.
Crash!
Not long after the archers retreated, the wooden wall collapsed.
"Kill, kill!"
The soldiers who thought that they had already broken through the stronghold were about to rush in, but they could not help but stop after taking two steps.
Song Qing, who was in the rear, frowned. His gaze was cold and sharp as he rebuked angrily,"Why didn't the spy say that there was a second wall in this village?!”
Of course, the spy couldn't say it because this wall didn't exist before. Did he really think that Zhu Wu was so stupid that he didn't know how to guard against the spy?
He had already made preparations for the spies sent by the officers and soldiers. Eight meters behind the first wall, he had dug four rows of narrow trenches that were one meter deep. Usually, he would cover them with straw mats and mud.
If he didn't step on it, he wouldn't notice anything unusual.
At the same time, he also tied the logs that he had cut down into a wooden raft with hemp rope.
During wartime, they only needed to insert the wooden rafts into the narrow trenches one by one, then pour the soil that had been prepared in advance into the gaps and press them with logs as thick as a child's arm. A new wall would immediately take shape!
On both sides of the new wall, there were two gaps that were as wide as two people. The soldiers who had stopped were like a flood that had found a gap and rushed into the gaps.
Boom!
Crash!
It was a trap!
The armorer at the front stepped into the trap and fell down. The armorers behind wanted to stop, but they were pushed down by their comrades who rushed up from behind. One by one, they were skewered into candied haws by the sharp wooden stakes in the trap!
