Chapter 1746

~6 min read 1,052 words

It was as if there was something in the city attracting them.

That was why they rushed over wave after wave.

Everyone had their guesses about this; it was nothing more than being interested in the flesh on them.

Seeing the infected ones appear.

The soldiers on the city walls no longer waited.

Instead, they fired at will.

They began shooting at the infected ones outside the city.

It was fortunate that bonfires had been set up in advance.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to see clearly.

At the beginning, the number of infected ones was not very large.

Only after the sound of them crashing into the city walls grew louder did the infected ones start to increase.

Once the infected ones appeared, the shooting never stopped.

The city walls were filled with arrows, and there were also many stones.

Soldiers were also continuously transporting stones up to the city walls.

Everyone had a clear division of labor, without the slightest chaos.

Even if more infected ones arrived, the soldiers were not afraid at all.

This was because they knew it was safe here.

The city walls here were sufficient to resist those infected ones.

All they had to do was eliminate them and not let them harm the city walls.

Only in this way would the infected ones become fewer and fewer.

If they did not attack the infected ones, the city walls would sooner or later be destroyed by them.

As the infected ones became more numerous.

Infected ones kept falling into the pits that had been dug earlier.

Before long, those pits were filled with infected ones.

Many infected ones had their bodies pierced by the spikes inside the pits.

They were fixed in the pits and unable to climb out.

Until the pits were filled up.

Those infected ones trampled over the corpses to cross the pits.

Gradually, the area under the city walls was entirely covered with infected ones.

They were all crashing into and scratching at the city walls with their hands.

"Throw the stones!"

Seeing this situation, General Meng Tian knew the time had come.

The soldiers responsible for transporting stones threw them down outside the city one after another.

Bang, bang, bang...

Bursts of crashing sounds rang out continuously.

The infected ones outside the city walls were knocked to the ground one after another.

But as long as they weren't hit in vital spots, they would climb back up.

Unless the stones could directly crush them, they would still get up.

This round of stone attacks dealt a significant blow to the infected ones.

Many infected ones were knocked to the ground.

So many stones were thrown down that some infected ones were even directly buried on the ground.

The infected ones behind rushed up wave after wave.

Soon, they stepped on the stones and got closer to the position on the city walls.

General Meng Tian frowned slightly, knowing they couldn't throw stones anymore.

Otherwise, if there were too many stones, the infected ones might end up stepping on them to climb up.

The infected ones were densely packed, crashing towards the city walls tirelessly.

Seeing that the timing was about right, General Meng Tian took an arrow and lit it.

He aimed at the thatch below and the places where fire oil had been poured, and fired an arrow.

Seeing that the Grand General had already started the fire, the surrounding soldiers.

Also began to shoot arrows with flames.

The fire oil, thatch, wooden frames, and bamboo frames previously set up outside the city were hit one after another.

In an instant, flames soared into the sky outside the city walls.

More infected ones had their figures illuminated by the firelight.

There were quite a few infected ones in the darkness, and they kept rushing towards this side.

Now that there was a fire outside the city, those infected ones had their bodies burned by the fire.

Yet they acted as if they didn't know pain, still crashing incessantly.

However, many infected ones were still afraid of fire and subconsciously avoided the burning areas.

Those infected ones that were ignited ran around everywhere, causing more infected ones to be set on fire.

The attacks outside the city walls paused for a moment.

But the infected ones behind were not afraid of death and still rushed over like this.

This caused the stationary infected ones in front to be pushed into the fire piles.

This was the front gate of Panshi City, and there were already so many infected ones.

A city had four gates, and infected ones were attacking the other three gates simultaneously.

Han Xin and those deputy generals were each guarding one side of the city wall.

It was also at this time.

A large patch of firelight ignited at the front gate.

Flames were also burning in the other three directions.

Looking from afar, it was as if the entire city was surrounded by fire.

The attacks of the infected ones slowed down.

This fire slowed the attack.

Besides the hissing sounds, there was also the sound of burning wood at the scene.

When Jin Zhipang and the other soldiers saw the flames soaring into the sky.

They were all stunned, looking at this scene like wooden chickens.

It wasn't that they hadn't thought of fire attacks.

But they really couldn't find that many materials.

Ordinary people really couldn't afford this kind of attack.

If they did it a few more times, they would probably be impoverished.

Moreover, they didn't have that much fire oil or other flammable materials.

And they didn't have that many arrows either.

Even their bows and arrows were not as powerful as those of Great Qin.

Under various gaps, they certainly couldn't compare to Great Qin.

Whether it was weapons or equipment, they were far inferior to Great Qin.

Jin Zhipang couldn't help but think secretly, if he also had such weapons and equipment.

He could also beat the infected ones to a pulp.

But these could only be thought about in his heart.

Tonight, there was no suspense; the infected ones would be defeated and suffer devastating losses.

"Take advantage of the firelight."

"Free fire!"

General Meng Tian's words echoed through the night sky.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... ===== CHAPTER 1748 =====
