Chapter 672: Zhi Wei suffers a crushing defeat! Zhi Ning has a child!_2

"Yes!" the deputy commander roared.

Then, the earth-shattering battle drums began to beat!

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

"Siege! Siege!"

Instantly, the siege troops, who had already been assembled, began to run wildly as they moved their legs.

One formation after another, tens of thousands of soldiers surged toward the Fenglei Fort Defense Line like a tide.

"Giant Crossbow Battleground, change arrow racks, fire in unison..."

"Super-Giant Stone Projector positions, fire in unison..."

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

The dense rain of arrows flew directly above the heads of the besieging army, crashing onto the Fenglei Fort Defense Line like a violent storm.

"Thud thud thud thud..."

Soldiers on the walls kept falling, dead.

This time, the arrows launched from Zhi Wei’s Giant Crossbow Battleground were not the three-to-four-meter huge arrows but two-meter-long thin arrows, with each giant crossbow able to shoot ten arrows at a time.

So, with the second volley, over ten thousand arrows were fired, taking the lives of over a hundred of Suo Lun’s troops.

However, the soldiers on the city walls remained as rigid as pillars, not moving an inch.

At this time, one had to bear the rain of arrows; if you were really hit, then it was just bad luck. If you ran about in confusion, the casualties would be even greater.

Suo Lun and Zhuang Zhixuan rode on griffins, looking down upon the battlefield from hundreds of meters in the air.

Zhi Wei’s tens of thousands of troops charged toward the city walls under the cover of firepower from the stone projectors and giant crossbows.

Three square formations, thirty thousand troops, launched the first wave of the siege, their dark mass surging forward like a tidal wave.

Ten minutes had passed since the first volley from Suo Lun’s side’s Super-Giant Stone Projector. There was no helping it; even the quickest reload for such a gigantic stone projector took ten minutes to complete a single shot.

"Super-Giant Stone Projector, prepare, fire in unison..."

A roar like thunder from the heavens.

Instantly, more than a hundred massive gunpowder kegs drew dark lines in the sky, once again smashing down toward the Giant Crossbow Battleground and Super-Giant Stone Projector positions of Zhi Wei’s great army.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

Another round of earth-shattering explosions, another skyscraping fireball, billowing smoke shrouded the entire battlefield.

Zhi Wei’s siege army, advancing from both sides of the Giant Crossbow Battleground and stone projector positions, was still affected by the colossal explosion, with hundreds of soldiers sent flying through the air, smashed to pieces.

But the thirty thousand-strong siege army still drew closer, rapidly approaching within three hundred meters of the Fenglei Fort Defense Line.

"Giant crossbows, load arrow racks, prepare, fire..."

The several thousand giant crossbows on the Fenglei Fort Defense Line all loaded with rows of ten thin arrows each.

Instantly, tens of thousands of arrows, like a violent storm, rained down on Zhi Wei’s besieging army.

"Thud thud thud thud..."

Countless sprays of blood erupted as numerous soldiers fell.

But even tens of thousands of arrows caused only a few thousand casualties.

The remaining twenty-eight thousand plus siege troops still charged on, heads down, running wildly, everyone knowing that at this moment there was nothing for it but to run madly; there was no way to retreat.

"The enemy siege force is two hundred meters from the wall, archers ready, Medium Scorpion Trebuchets prepare, fire!" Suo Lun bellowed.

The over twenty thousand defending soldiers on the wall released their bows with force.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

Another volley of tens of thousands of arrows fell, once again causing hundreds of enemy casualties.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

Several hundred Medium Scorpion Trebuchets fired, and hundreds of gunpowder kegs traced arcs, crashing into the midst of the siege troops!

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Another series of earth-shattering explosions.

Nearly a hundred thousand pounds of gunpowder exploded at positions within several kilometers.

Once again, countless soldiers were reduced to shattered corpses, bodies flung through the air.

Thousands of soldiers perished!

The horrific explosion, occurring so close by, struck countless soldiers like lightning, leaving them rooted to the spot in shock.

"Don’t stop, charge, charge..."

Zhi Wei’s commanders screamed desperately.

This was the break between Suo Lun’s stone projector volleys, the most precious window, a chance to use this lull to scale the walls.

"Charge, charge..."

Despite the synchronized volleys from the giant crossbows and the Medium Scorpion Trebuchets causing massive casualties to Zhi Wei’s siege troops, more than twenty thousand still reached the base of the walls.

"Boom boom boom boom!" Countless siege ladders were violently thrown against the wall.

Huge battering rams began to pound the gates.

The stone projector’s gunpowder kegs were astonishing, but their long intervals between shots were unable to stop the enemy from reaching the base of the walls.

Seeing over twenty thousand soldiers beginning to climb the walls, Zhi Wei at the Central Military Camp roared with glee: "Second wave, third wave siege troops, relay charge, go!"

Instantly, another fifty thousand troops charged madly under the thunderous battle drums.

The entire battlefield was in an uproar of carnage!

One hundred to two hundred siege ladders were successively placed against the walls of Wind Thunder Fortress.

One after another, mightily-strong samurai, holding large shields, climbed up the siege ladders.

Behind them, the wall was teeming with people.

Countless soldiers, like ants, swarmed up the walls of Wind Thunder Fortress.

Seeing this scene, Zhi Wei’s heart surged with euphoria once again.

With such an endless stream climbing the walls, despite the staggeringly high casualties, they would ultimately be able to breach the Fenglei Fort Defense Line.

Suo Lun’s stone projector tactics were indeed astonishing, but the firing rate was simply too slow!

However... just at that moment, a terrifying scene unfolded!

Zhi Wei’s army reaching the base of the walls was just the beginning of the nightmare!

Countless barrels of oil, hurled down insanely from the walls!

While each volley from the stone projector required time, manual throwing did not.

Thousands of Suo Lun’s strongmen threw barrels of oil frantically.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
