Chapter 277: There are always people who want to harm me
"Ula..."
"Kill!"
"Kill the fuck!"
The fighting at the south city gate continues.
But Zhang Chu clearly felt that the intensity of the Northern Barbarians' attacks... had slowed down!
He can be sure that this is definitely not his illusion!
Maybe it's a psychological effect, but he always has a bad feeling in his mind now that "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me."
It's a pity that his golden finger is a casual job rather than a whim...
He had stopped killing the Northern Barbarians who had climbed up to the top of the city, and was standing next to an eight-oxen crossbow, looking closely at the White Wolf Northern Barbarian below the city.
"Report~"
The messenger rushed to Zhang Chu's side with a long shout.
"Sir, the enemy general outside the west city gate has definitely disappeared."
The hand-holding technique used to signal the approaching soldiers to extract confessions.
Zhang Chu felt a chill in his heart.
Really hammered!
These unruly people really want to harm me!
"You can turn back to the west city gate and report to Master Shi that the three great tycoons of the Northern Barbarians want to join forces to attack the south city gate. Please ask Mr. Shi to quickly reinforce the south city gate!"
"Here!"
The messenger who had already run back and forth between the west and south cities of the city for two consecutive times, without any hesitation, said yes, turned around and ran out.
"Someone is coming!"
"Here!"
"Quickly go to the North City Gate and the East City Gate, and get half of the crossbows from each!"
"Here!"
Two more messengers rushed towards the North City Gate and East City Gate respectively.
Zhang Chu leaned on Jingyun and looked down at the silvery white under the city with sinister eyes.
He was not 100% sure whether the three Northern Barbarian Qihai tycoons really wanted to storm the South City Gate.
Even all kinds of clues and evidence point to this result.
But there are still variables...
For example, a game within a game.
The two Northern Barbarian qihai tycoons outside the east and west city gates deliberately hid themselves, used his hands to move Shi Anzai at the west city gate away, and then took advantage of the opportunity to enter and capture the west city gate in one fell swoop.
But this assumption must be based on two premises.
First, the commander of the Northern Barbarian army was smart enough.
Second, the commander of the Northern Barbarian army knew that Zhang Chu was smart enough.
So the possibility is extremely small...
If the commander of the Northern Barbarian army was really smart, he would not have ended the battle like this with the superior strength of 20,000 men and the absolute advantage of three Qihai tycoons.
Zhang Chu thought to himself that if he were the commander of the Northern Barbarians, Jintian Mansion would have been gone long ago...
Therefore, he is at least 70% certain that the target of the three powerful Qihai tycoons from the Northern Barbarians is Nancheng!
A 70% certainty is enough for him to take the plunge and take a big gamble!
As long as you can kill a big tycoon from the Northern Barbarian Qi Sea, you will make a lot of money!
Zhang Chuxu raised his eyes, his heart was filled with anger...
…
"Master Zhang!"
Hou Juntang and Kong Changming met Zhang Chu. Even though they were very unhappy with him, they had to take the initiative to say hello to Zhang Chu.
They were so powerful that they didn't even have the confidence to shame Zhang Chu.
"Excuse me, you two adults, for a trip!"
Zhang Chu also didn't have any good feelings towards these two people...if he had a good feeling, he wouldn't send them to take a trip into this muddy water.
However, in terms of face, he was still polite and did not show any signs of strangeness.
"Master Zhang, you're welcome."
Hou Juntang and Kong Changming quickly returned the gift.
"Then I'm not welcome. I'm inviting you two adults here because there will be a fierce battle later and I need your help."
Zhang Chu got straight to the point.
After hearing this, Hou Juntang and Kong Changming couldn't help but scan the battle situation on the city wall.
Of course, with their eyesight, they could see that although the battle on the city wall was fierce, it was not very intense.
At least not to the point where they need help.
Zhang Chu didn't explain to them... He was afraid that if he did, the two seventh-grade men would immediately rub their feet.
The seventh grade blocks the sixth grade. If there is a slight difference, your life will be lost.
At the stall where they were talking, nearly a hundred crossbows that Zhang Chu had assembled from the North City Gate and the East City Gate were lined up in a long queue and transported into the corridor of the South City Wall.
The Eight Ox Crossbow is powerful, but its recoil is directly proportional to its power. It must be fixed at the top of the city so that ordinary soldiers can handle it, and it cannot be disassembled in a short time.
Therefore, Zhang Chu could only mobilize bed crossbows.
However, with the power of the bed crossbow, it is not enough to kill a seventh-grade man. As for how effective it can be against a sixth-grade Qihai Dahao, Zhang Chu is not sure.
Be prepared.
It’s better than nothing!
Zhang Chu did not place too much hope on these bed crossbows.
But as soon as these bed crossbows were transported into the south city wall, Hou Juntang and Kong Changming immediately smelled an oppressive aura of impending rain.
The two exchanged glances in private, and both saw solemnity and vigilance in each other's eyes... Zhang Chu seemed to have no good intentions when he asked the two of them to come over!
"grown ups!"
Jiao Shan's nervous shout came from the direction of the north city wall: "Coming up!"
Zhang Chu followed his instructions, grabbed a shield to protect his face, reached his upper body out of the city wall, and looked at the Northern Barbarians who were climbing the city wall.
I saw two black-armored soldiers dressed as ordinary Northern Barbarian soldiers, holding iron ropes in one hand and climbing up to the top of the city as quickly as if they were walking on flat ground.
And that White Wolf Northern Barbarian managed to get within two feet of the city wall at some point!
You have indeed learned to be smart.
I know that pretending to be an ordinary soldier is fishing in troubled waters!
If he hadn't sent people to keep an eye on the city wall, they might have gotten into it.
"Fire oil!"
He gave an order, and the soldiers guarding the city lifted a vat of kerosene that had been prepared earlier, lit it, and poured it down.
As the saying goes, fire and water have no mercy...
Burning flames, like lava-like fire oil poured down, and the two Northern Barbarian Qihai tycoons who were still pretending to be ordinary soldiers to climb the city could no longer pretend any longer.
There is no need to pretend anymore.
Because they already know that they are cheating!
The kerosene used to defend the city is commonly known as "fire oil". It is actually crudely refined petroleum. Once ignited, the fire will burn like a burning fire. It also has the property of pouring water on the fire and making it even more intense. It is a sharp weapon for fire attacks.
But as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Since kerosene is so easy to use, the quantity will naturally not be too large and the cost will not be too cheap.
Otherwise, as soon as the Northern Barbarian army approaches the city wall, it will be forced back with fire, and there will be no need to fight this battle...
Fire oil is expensive and Zhang Chu is very cautious every time he uses it. He will not use it until the city gate defense line is on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, the South City Gate's defense line is obviously still far from crumbling...
"Bang!"
The two giants of the Northern Barbarians who climbed the city stomped on the city wall at the same time. They grabbed the iron ropes in their hands and swung them to the left and right like Tarzan. While avoiding the fire oil poured on them, they swung towards the top of the city like a pendulum clock.
.
The White Wolf Northern Barbarian who was still holding Zhang Chu under the city suddenly rose into the sky, grabbed an iron rope and climbed quickly to the top of the city.
"Crossbow, aim and shoot!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Chu gave the order without hesitation, and nearly a hundred crossbows were stretched out from the arrow holes at the same time, aiming at the three Northern Barbarian Qihai giants and firing a volley.
Chapter completed!
