Chapter 1224

~3 min read 528 words

"This... so many!"

"Where did so many armies come from?"

"Are these all Xiongnu people?"

When Wang Ben saw so many armies, he could not help but secretly wipe a cold sweat.

At the same time, he also secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, General Meng Tian Tian had brought people back in advance.

Otherwise, if only he and those new recruits were here,

it was not certain they could hold the Great Wall.

If the Great Wall were broken and the Xiongnu armies invaded,

by then, he would have become a sinner through the ages.

"It shouldn't be."

"The Xiongnu people likely don't have that many; there might also be people from the Donghu and the Dayuezhi."

"Fortunately, we did not take the initiative to attack; otherwise, being surrounded would also be a troublesome matter."

General Meng Tian Tian could not help but think of the instructions from His Highness, to wait for the people to arrive before making further plans.

If they had run out themselves and encountered so many Xiongnu armies,

with the huge gap in numbers, they would certainly have suffered devastating losses.

Now that they had the Great Wall as a natural barrier, this kind of casualty could be reduced to a minimum.

As long as the Xiongnu armies could not get in, then the ones who would definitely lose would be the Xiongnu.

One must know that the original intention of building this Great Wall was to resist the Xiongnu people.

Now it was finally coming in handy.

"There is probably still an hour of preparation time."

"Go down and prepare!"

"Transport all the heavy weapons that need to be used to the Great Wall."

Although the opponent had more people than them, General Meng Tian Tian was not afraid.

Now they occupied an absolute advantage.

"Do we need to transport the catapults over?"

Wang Ben suddenly spoke; this was one of the long-range weapons.

Catapults?

General Meng Tian Tian was stunned; it seemed they were truly useful.

"Yes."

"Transport the catapults to below the wall."

General Meng Tian Tian thought for a while; transporting the catapults over was also fine.

They could not fit on the city wall, but placing them below the wall was also fine.

In case they needed to use them, they would not need to be transported over in a hurry again.

It was not that they could not fit.

The width of the Great Wall was about two zhang, so it could fit the catapults.

It was just that if they did so, it would make it inconvenient for the people above to act.

After all, catapults were large-scale war weapons.

The area they needed to occupy was not small either.

Anyway, now there was time to prepare; just transport everything that needed to be used over and place it there.

Looking at the posture of the Xiongnu armies, they were prepared to fight to the death.

Wang Ben nodded, turned, and went down to command the battle.

General Meng Tian Tian picked up the binoculars and observed again.

One command after another was issued from his mouth.

The soldiers on the Great Wall also began to get busy.
