Chapter 177: Cool for Less Than Three Seconds

At this moment, Xiao Dabao was chewing on a Ham Sausage, carrying a Sniper Rifle, and standing up from the hillside.

He flicked his hair and struck a pose with an air of indifference.

"Take them down!"

"Aren't they just a few little birds? Is there any need to make such a fuss? With me, Xiao Dabao, in the Beijiang, not even a fly will be able to fly out!"

"You?"

Qin Zhan widened his eyes, simply unable to believe what he was seeing, and looked Xiao Dabao up and down.

"Fatty Xiao, you have this skill too?"

"Who, who is a fatty?" Xiao Dabao was displeased. "I only weigh two hundred jin. The Goddess said that a spherical shape is also a figure..."

Just as he was speaking, he stepped into thin air.

"Ah!"

"Ahhh!"

Accompanied by a series of screams, Xiao Dabao rolled straight down the hillside; his spherical figure, just like a ball, rolled extremely fast.

Bang!

Cool for less than three seconds!

Xiao Dabao slammed headfirst into a tree stump, howling in pain.

"How miserable..." Qin Zhan was dumbfounded.

The soldiers nearby rushed over immediately to carry him to the Military Doctor camp.

The only marksman in the Beijiang Army must not be lost just like this.

Suddenly!

Someone screamed in alarm.

"There is still one pigeon left!"

The crowd looked up and were shocked to discover there was still one pigeon that had slipped through the net!

It flew slowly, lagging behind the flock, and thus escaped the shooting of the Bow and Arrow and the Sniper Rifle.

This pigeon flew further and further away, with a cloth strip for delivering messages tied to its leg.

The archers hurriedly fired arrows, but because the distance was too great, they could not hit it at all.

"This is bad." Qin Zhan's brows were tightly knit. "If Yuan Canghai receives the plea for help and sends a large army over now, the Beijiang Army will be caught in a pincer attack, which will be hard to handle..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Moting's deep, cold, and clear voice suddenly rang out.

"Cangyun!"

"Chirp!"

Following a sharp eagle cry!

The giant Gyrfalcon flapped its wings and took flight, like a bolt of lightning in the sky, chasing after the flying messenger pigeon!

The messenger pigeon looked pitifully weak in front of the giant eagle.

Under the powerful suppression of the species.

It could no longer care about delivering the message; it flapped its wings desperately, wanting only to flee for its life.

The Gyrfalcon flapped its wings and caught up to the messenger pigeon without any effort; like a hawk catching a chick, it grabbed it with one claw.

"Cangyun, well done."

The Beijiang Army on the ground erupted in cheers.

Xiao Moting's thin lips curled, revealing a smile as well.

Seeing Cangyun flying back with the messenger pigeon, he took out a Ham Sausage to reward the war eagle he raised.

Suddenly!

A chubby hand reached out from the side and took the Ham Sausage away.

Xiao Moting turned his head and saw that Xiao Dabao had snuck over at some point; one hand was covering the bump on his head from the collision, while the other hand clutched the Ham Sausage, which he gnawed on while saying:

"Hehe, thank you for the reward, Prince!"

Xiao Moting frowned.

Just as he was about to speak, Cangyun flew back.

Seeing its Ham Sausage had been snatched, it immediately flapped its wings and pecked fiercely at the bump on Xiao Dabao's head!

"Quack quack quack!" (Dead fatty, give me back my Ham Sausage!)

"Ahhh!"

Xiao Dabao covered his head, screaming while running wildly.

While running, he did not forget to stuff the remaining Ham Sausage into his mouth.

Cangyun chased after him.

One person and one bird ran far away again.

Guo Gui stood on the city wall, seeing all seven of the messenger pigeons he had released shot down, his face turning from green to white.

"I never expected the Beijiang Army to be this formidable!"

Originally, he had relied on the sturdy giant stone city walls and had great confidence in defending the city, but now a tremor inexplicably emerged in his heart.

In tomorrow's battle, can the city really be held?

Guo Gui's eyes turned red, and he turned around and roared, "Call the generals up for me; I will personally take the field to supervise the defense matters."

In this battle, he must annihilate the one hundred thousand Beijiang Army troops outside the city.

When that time comes, General Yuan will surely promote and reuse him.

Even if the Beijiang Army has good equipment, the walls of Shiya City are sturdy, easy to defend and hard to attack, and there is a massive amount of coal mine; the one hundred thousand garrison troops in the city are equal in number to the Beijiang Army and are no pushovers!

On the battlements of Shiya City, bonfires like long dragons were also lit.

The garrison troops were also preparing for battle.

On the city walls, catapults and Giant Crossbows were set up one after another.

The garrison troops were stripped to the waist, transporting giant stones larger than bed boards, huge arrows, as well as rolling logs and heavy stones, all up to the city walls.

Pitch-black coal was sent to the city walls basket by basket, and every few dozen meters, a bonfire was set up, with flames shooting into the sky.

If the Beijiang Army wanted to climb the city walls using Cloud Ladders, they would pour down the red-hot coal, which would burn through the Cloud Ladders while also burning the enemy.

The level of medical skill in Daliang is limited; if someone suffers large-area burns and develops an infection, there is only a dead end.

The Military Advisor hurried to the city walls to report.

"Prefect, the Talisman Water made by the National Preceptor has already been sent to the prison and fed to all the prisoners by the jailers."

"Besides the more than one hundred Beijiang Army captives in the prison, there are also over four hundred other prisoners; we have fed Talisman Water to them all."

Guo Gui sneered.

"Good! The Beijiang Army has good weapons, and they really thought we didn't have a trump card!!"

"One Tiansheng Army soldier is worth the combat power of ten soldiers!"

"However, five hundred or so Tiansheng Army soldiers are far from enough."

The Military Advisor was startled, "But there are no other prisoners in the prison."

A cold and cruel light flashed in Guo Gui's eyes.

"Send troops into the city, capture those poor and hungry famine victims, and make them go into battle."

"Since there is no food left in the city anyway and they are all going to starve to death, it is better to let them contribute their last bit of strength for Shiya City."

……

Early morning.

The first ray of morning light pierced through the clouds and spilled down.

The Beijiang Army had already arrived at the city walls.

The sunlight shone on the armor of the one hundred thousand troops, flashing with silver light!

Xiao Moting rode a Sweat-blood Horse, wearing heavy armor, his hair tied into a high ponytail, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

He raised the Long Sword in his hand and roared sternly.

"Kill!"

Instantly, a deafening cry erupted from the Beijiang Army.

"Kill!"

"Break into Shiya City and kill Guo Gui!"

Boom—!

The massive Battering Ram was pushed forward by over a hundred Beijiang Army soldiers.

A huge round log was mounted on the wooden cart, used to ram open the city gates.

On the city walls, the general of the Yuan Family Army also shouted.

"Fire arrows!"

Sharp iron arrows fell from the city walls like raindrops.

However, very few Beijiang Army soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

They were wearing Bulletproof Vests, helmets on their heads, and carrying light and sturdy Anti-riot Shields, blocking most of the arrows.

Xiao Moting brandished his Long Blade, hacking away the incoming arrows, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Set up the Cloud Ladders! Climb the city walls."

"Launch a full-scale attack!"

The Beijiang Army brought over a dozen Cloud Ladders and placed them against the city walls.

The soldiers climbed the Cloud Ladders, heading up the high city walls.

Seeing that the arrows were ineffective and the enemy had started setting up Cloud Ladders, Guo Gui shouted sternly.

"Pour the coal fire!"

The garrison troops took shovels and poured down the red-hot coal.

It was like a rain of red, with countless scalding coals splashing down below the city walls.
