"Bang bang bang bang."

Heavy footsteps passed through the long street, swung across the canal, and finally stopped under the North City Gate.

The red tasseled gun forest spreads for more than two miles south from the main road into the city. Under the bright golden sunshine, it forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding blue-gray houses, like camellias that only bloom in March and April.

Zhang Chu stood at the top of the city, looking down at the soldiers below.

He saw a face with green fuzz on the corner of its mouth and a face full of panic...

He saw a dark and simple man, biting his lip, but the spear in his hand kept shaking...

He saw the big bear, standing at the front of the army with his sword on his waist. Thick veins on his smooth scalp were pumping violently...

There are seven thousand people down here!

Three thousand troops!

Three thousand people!

Brothers from Qian Xuanwu Hall!

It stands to reason that to Zhang Chu, these 7,000 people must be different from each other.

But the current situation does not allow Zhang Chu to treat them differently.

Direct descendants must fight for their lives on the city wall!

Even if you are not a direct descendant, you still have to fight for your life on the city wall!

Under the cover of the nest, how can there be any eggs...

"Are you afraid?"

Zhang Chu shouted loudly while scratching his throat.

"Don't be afraid!"

Big Bear took the lead and shouted loudly.

"Don't be afraid!"

Seven thousand people woke up one after another and stood up and shouted.

Zhang Chu: "I'm afraid!"

Big Bear:???

Seven thousand people:???

Boss, why don't you act according to common sense?

The funny scene with thousands of confused faces almost made Zhang Chu laugh out loud despite the pressure.

Zhang Chu quickly tensed up his face and said loudly: "Is it useful to be afraid?"

"Are you afraid that it can be used as a knife to kill the northern barbarians who want to enter the city?"

"Are you afraid that it can be used as a shield to block the scimitars of the northern barbarians?"

"cannot!"

"What are Northern Barbarians?"

"It's a robber, a bandit, a wild beast!"

"Once they are allowed into the city, they will chop off our heads, rob our aunts, kill our children, and burn my house!"

"Would you like that?"

"I don't want to do it anyway!"

"That's why I want to fight them!"

"If they can't kill me, I will kill eighteen generations of their ancestors!"

"He, the Northern Barbarian, also has two shoulders to carry one head!"

"Just cut off their heads and they will die!"

"If someone chops off the head of a northern barbarian and he survives, you come to me!"

"I'll chop off my own head and pay it to you!"

"Tell me, are you still afraid now?"

Blue veins popped out on Zhang Chu's forehead, and his handsome face was terrifyingly ferocious.

"Afraid!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Then do you dare to fight with them now?"

"dare!"

"good!"

Zhang Chu slapped the city with his palm, causing bricks and stones to fly, "Everyone fights bravely to kill the enemy. If you retreat, I will kill you. If I retreat, don't be polite to me, just kill me!"

"When the Northern Barbarians retreat, and I have enough money, meat, and wine, even if I want a woman, I will try my best to find it for you!"

"But the premise is that the city must be defended!"

"You guys, stay alive!"

"have you understood?"

Seven thousand men and horses shouted at the top of their lungs: "I understand!"

They are no longer afraid.

The spear in his hand no longer trembled.

Zhang Chu's rough and down-to-earth pre-war mobilization is indeed very useful!

At least these poor people living at the bottom of society have never heard such an inspiring speech in their entire lives!

After all, there is little reading...

Zhang Chu glanced around and saw that the military spirit was available, so he stopped talking and waved his hand and said: "Stay where you are!"

…

"Boom."

The thunderous sound of rolling horse hooves came from the east.

Zhang Chu stood on the top of the east city gate, staring closely at the black line rushing toward the eastern sky against the sunlight, and the veins in his hand that pressed on the handle of the Jingyun knife stretched.

"Win the string!"

No order was needed from him. Jiao Shan, the guard at the east city gate, had already ordered the crossbow on the city head to be cocked.

The bed crossbows fixed on the top of the city, in addition to the small bed crossbows that could be pulled by boats and carriages when Zhang Chu attacked the people in the lake, there are also some more powerful eight-niu crossbows!

The Eight Cow Crossbow, as the name suggests, is a bed crossbow that requires eight old cows to pull!

If it were to be pulled open manually, it would take at least thirty or forty people using a winch to pull it open!

This kind of bed crossbow is fixed on the city wall and cannot be disassembled, but its power is amazing. The Mitsubishi iron spear fired can directly penetrate the city wall, making it a sharp weapon for sniping Qi Hai Dahao!

This is why the northern barbarians in the previous attack on the city needed to seize the city gate!

If the city gate is tightly defended, it will not be so easy to capture the city gate even if it is led by a powerful force from Qihai!

It is completely unrealistic to at least expect a group of Qihai tycoons to fly to the top of the city for the rest of their lives and clear out the garrison on the top of the city with a few blows; or to expect a Qihai tycoon to be able to smash the city gates with one sword and lead an army straight in!

Dare to take the lead, a lot of fine iron Mitsubishi spears are waiting to treat you to barbecue!

Can your body-protecting energy stop one, ten, or a hundred?

The role of the Qihai Dahao in siege warfare is to prevent the enemy's Qihai Dahao from taking action and massacre one's own miscellaneous soldiers.

Zhang Chu did not interfere with Jiao Shan's command.

Jiao Shan is also a veteran and has more experience in commanding operations than him. If he intervenes hastily, it will be counterproductive.

He was thinking about which city gate the Northern Barbarians would choose as a breakthrough in this battle.

Since ancient times, we have attacked a city and surrounded it with three towers and one tower.

If calculated according to this common sense of military art, the Northern Barbarian army will surround the West City Gate, North City Gate, and East City Gate, leaving the South City Gate behind, disrupting the morale of the people and the military in the city, and reducing the difficulty of taking Jintian Mansion.

But depending on the degree of civilization of the northern barbarians, they may not necessarily have this common sense of military art.

If the Northern Barbarians did not adopt the strategy of "surrounding three gates and one gate", they would definitely surround Jintian Mansion and choose one gate to attack.

The Northern Barbarian army that attacked this time numbered about 35,000 people.

The Northern Barbarians could use 5,000 men to hold back the defenders of three city gates, and concentrate an army of 20,000 to storm one city gate!

And the defenders of Jintian Mansion.

There are four thousand city guards.
