Chapter 1238

~3 min read 568 words

The Xiongnu soldiers were stunned.

Stunned by this sudden movement.

Their hearts were pounding uncontrollably.

Fortunately, they were all pulling the hemp rope and not by the siege engine.

Otherwise, they would not have been able to escape this smashing.

Even if they didn't die, they would definitely have broken bones and tendons.

Didn't you see those two soldiers holding iron shields die completely?

At this moment—

They couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

It turned out that arriving under the giant gate was not safe.

It turned out that having iron shields was not safe either.

The Xiongnu soldiers were broken.

Seeing that the siege engine had already been smashed.

Staying here was of no use anymore.

They all hurriedly began to retreat.

Some even didn't forget to take the two iron shields on the ground with them.

"Did you think this was your home?"

"Come when you want, leave when you want; how could there be such a good thing?"

"Fire arrows! Kill them for me!"

Deputy General Qian laughed loudly.

Hearing this, the soldiers on the Great Wall aimed their super crossbows at the people below.

Arrows were fired down as if they were free.

A series of clanging sounds of metal striking metal came, accompanied by screams one after another.

Xiongnu soldiers holding ordinary shields could not escape such sharp weapons.

One after another, their shields were pierced, and they were directly shot to death.

Only iron shields could block the power of this super crossbow.

The Xiongnu soldiers learned to be smart and all hid behind the iron shields.

Retreating in an orderly manner, not daring to make too large a movement, fearing they would be shot to death if they revealed a flaw.

On the battlefield, human lives were like ants.

At this time, the Xiongnu soldiers had decreased by two-thirds!

Originally there were dozens of Xiongnu soldiers; after a round of shooting, less than twenty remained.

Seeing this situation, Deputy General Qian stopped firing arrows, as it was just a waste of arrows.

"General, more than half of the enemy has been annihilated."

"Should we use bed crossbows to attack the rest?"

Deputy General Qian looked at Meng Tian.

Meng Tian shook his head slowly; even using bed crossbows wouldn't be of much use.

"This time, I reckon they are also afraid."

"Let's slow down first and see if they dare to come again."

Meng Tian was in a good mood at this moment.

Even if the Xiongnu army was larger than his own, so what?

As long as they couldn't break the Great Wall, no matter how many people came, it would be of no avail.

"It's getting late, go eat if you need to eat."

"Just take turns guarding; as long as we don't let them attack the city, it's fine."

Meng Tian waved his sleeve and turned to leave the Great Wall.

It seemed he was not afraid at all that the Xiongnu could break in.

This action of Meng Tian gave the new recruits great confidence.

The General didn't care about this Xiongnu army at all.

They had nothing to worry about either.

Emotions were contagious; the new recruits who saw this scene all revealed a smile.

Their complex feelings about the large number of Xiongnu troops also calmed down.

What was the use of having many people?

Wouldn't they still fail to break the Great Wall?
