Chapter 1756

At the east city gate.

At this time, many soldiers were holding heavy armor to do defense.

There were also soldiers holding long spears, waiting in full battle array.

The city gate had already been surrounded.

Seeing the city gate at this time, it was damaged somewhat severely.

The thick and heavy gate creaked, covered with cracks.

In some places, there were even arms of infected ones reaching in.

Separated by a gate, the arms were like the tentacles of a devil, baring fangs and brandishing claws.

What was particularly exaggerated was that a small hole was exposed at the city gate from the ground.

The skull of an infected one reached in.

However, that infected one was no longer moving.

Because an arrow was stuck in its skull.

If it hadn't been discovered early, it was unknown if it would have climbed in.

However, at this time, the corpses outside the city gate had already piled up one or two meters high.

Temporarily, it was impossible for infected ones to climb in from underneath.

Unless they crashed through the big gate, it was possible to get in.

General Meng Tian arrived here and saw such a scene.

"Greetings, Grand General."

The person in charge nearby immediately performed a salute.

"How much longer can this gate probably hold on?"

General Meng Tian looked at the giant gate, and a lot of black blood appeared at the city gate.

It could be seen how many corpses of infected ones were piled up outside the city.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for so much black blood to flow out.

This had almost dyed the surroundings of the city gate black.

"Reporting to the Grand General, according to this trend, it might be able to hold on for another two hours."

"If the attacks outside are more intense, the time it can hold on will also be shortened accordingly."

The general performed a respectful salute, while also feeling helpless in his heart.

He sighed that this city gate was not sturdy enough.

If it were the city gate of their Great Qin, it would probably not have any damage even with double the attacks.

The quality of things made by this Gija Joseon was really poor.

"One or two hours..."

General Meng Tian frowned slightly; this battle couldn't be ended in one or two hours.

If it wasn't defended, it certainly wouldn't hold on until the end of the battle.

This couldn't help but make him think of the time when the infected ones broke through the city gate in Liaoxi Commandery before.

But the infected ones here were more numerous than in Liaoxi Commandery.

Using the previous method wouldn't work.

If the city gate was broken through, the soldiers here might not be able to withstand the impact of the infected ones.

"If this gate is broken, you won't be able to hold it like this."

General Meng Tian looked at those shields and shook his head.

Those heavy shields could block ordinary people.

But the momentum of the large number of infected ones crashing was too fierce; who could withstand this?

"Grand General, then what should we do?"

The general responsible for this place had bean-sized sweat seeping from his forehead.

This was entirely due to nervousness.

They knew the ferocity of those infected ones outside the gate.

If this city gate was really broken through, they would bear the brunt.

"Set up obstacles."

"Use things to block the city gate, the thicker the better."

"In this way, even if the city gate is crashed through, there won't be any impact."

General Meng Tian used his sword to draw a simple diagram on the ground.

This was a rough sketch of the height, blocking the position of the city gate.

At the higher end, there were also several soldiers holding long spears guarding it.

"Can you understand this simple diagram?"

The diagram General Meng Tian drew was simple.

The city gate was too high, making it difficult to pile obstacles too high.

This was easy to collapse, so it could only be made lower, with people added to guard it.

As for the city gate, it could only be replaced with a new one after the battle stopped later.

"This general understands!"

Once the general saw that simple map, he immediately knew what to do.

In this way, even if the city gate was broken, it could still hold on.

The main thing was that it didn't need to withstand the terrifying impact of the infected ones; this was the most important thing.

Don't underestimate those impacts; even such a thick city gate could be crashed and damaged.

Although heavy shields were also sturdy, human strength couldn't hold them tightly enough.

"If you understand, why don't you go do it quickly?"

General Meng Tian was somewhat speechless; since you understood, why were you still standing here?

"Grand General, what should we use to block it?"

The general felt somewhat embarrassed.

Now there was nothing useful in this city.

"This is simple, look over there."

General Meng Tian pointed to a place.

"This general remembers there is something like a drill ground over there."

"Inside, there is a lot of mud, sand, and stones."

"Some are scattered on the ground, some are packed in sacks."

"Using those is most suitable; send people to carry them over."

"As for those scattered ones, have people pack them up."

"Move everything here to block this city gate to death."

General Meng Tian had to be glad that he had strolled around the city in his spare time before.

It was to familiarize himself with the environment here.

He didn't expect to use the things in the city this time.

"Nu!"

The general was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He immediately ordered the soldiers to run towards the place like a drill ground.

General Meng Tian summoned a soldier and ordered to strengthen the observation of each city gate.

If there was even a hint of something wrong, report it immediately.

People started moving bags of sand and soil over one after another.

Seeing this, General Meng Tian also returned to the city walls.

This time he didn't continue shooting.

Instead, he took a telescope to observe the situation in all directions.

If there was anything wrong, he would make a decision at the first moment.

Fighting was not his specialty; commanding was his strength. ===== CHAPTER 1758 =====
