Chapter 494
Two hundred paces!
One hundred paces!
Within a hundred paces, the defending side should have started to use bows and arrows to suppress.
However, after five days of paralysis, these Qiang people were even too lazy to shoot arrows.
Only sparse arrows shot down from the city wall as if for fun.
But they were all blocked by the shields held by the soldiers of the Trapping Camp.
Fifty paces.
Thirty paces!
The closer to the city wall, the faster Gao Shun's breathing and heartbeat!
"Charge!"
When he was only thirty paces away from the city wall, Gao Shun lifted the shield on his head and waved the straight blade in his hand.
Behind him, the Trapping Camp, which had been moving at a turtle's speed, instantly revealed its ferocious fangs and started to charge.
Scaling ladders were also carried by corvee laborers and set up toward the city wall.
Gao Shun, who was stuck to the city wall, looked at Qu Yi a hundred paces away and nodded.
Qu Yi, who understood, immediately led the First-to-Climb Camp under his command to gather in Gao Shun's direction.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
A series of dull sounds of scaling ladders hitting the city wall sounded.
The Qiang soldiers who were laughing and talking on the city wall were stunned.
Turned their heads to look at the scaling ladders on the battlements.
But then there was a burst of laughter.
"Haha, these Han troops are finally a little smarter, and they know how to lengthen the scaling ladders!
Haha!"
The Qiang soldiers laughed, then bent their bows and set arrows, preparing to shoot arrows at the foot of the city.
"Let them see our archery skills. Whoever kills more people today will be able to pick a few more Han women."
The Qiang officer bent his bow and set an arrow, his body popped out of the battlement, aiming at the thigh of a Trapping Camp soldier who was holding a shield and climbing the scaling ladder.
The Trapping Camp soldier holding the shield only had his thighs exposed.
But this couldn't stump the Qiang soldiers who were good at archery.
However.
Just when this Qiang officer was about to shoot the arrow in his hand.
A puff sound sounded.
A crossbow arrow directly pierced the mouth of the laughing Qiang officer.
And shot out from the back of the head.
The laughter on the city wall stopped abruptly.
The Qiang officer's body tilted forward, and the next moment he fell toward the foot of the city wall.
After falling to the foot of the city, there was a dull sound.
Several Qiang soldiers who didn't know why hurriedly leaned out from the battlements to look.
The next second, dense crossbow arrows rushed to the city wall.
More than a dozen Qiang soldiers, without exception, were all hit by the powerful crossbow arrows, and all fell toward the foot of the city wall.
Under the city wall of Jincheng.
More than a dozen scaling ladders had all been set up on the city wall.
A Trapping Camp soldier with a shield on his head, a horizontal knife in his mouth, and armor on his body climbed toward the city wall with firm eyes.
And under the scaling ladder, there were First-to-Climb soldiers holding strong bows and hard crossbows.
At this moment, the Qiang soldiers on the city wall seemed to realize that something was wrong, so they started to shout loudly.
However, the defense line on the city wall was too long.
The Qiang soldiers in the distance didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all, and thought that they were playing here.
As Gao Shun's footsteps in war boots landed on the city wall, the straight blade instantly set off a splash of blood in front of him.
More than a dozen Trapping Camp soldiers wearing armor jumped onto the city wall together, and then three gathered together to cover the scaling ladders behind them.
Seeing the Han army climbing the city, the Qiang soldiers were panicked and fought back.
The Jincheng defense battle officially started! ===== CHAPTER 496 =====
