”Reporting...” Lord General, Li Jian's castle is already surrounded, but Li Jian is unwilling to surrender. ” Just as Yang Lin and his group reached the shore, Yang Xing's and Chen Hui's herald ran over and shouted: ”Lord General, North Sea Fleet General, please instruct us.”
”Come, let's go take a look.” Yang Lin waved his hand, bringing his group of people and rushing up the mountain. He wanted to see if this Li Jian had any abilities that could allow him to refuse to surrender in front of burly officer who was dozens of times stronger than him.
Arriving in front of Li Jian's castle, Yang Lin couldn't help but sigh at the strength of these tribal leaders. No wonder this guy was so mean. It seems like he's invested so much in the city that he's even on top of the city walls. How was this a castle? It was clearly a fortress. The strong walls were built with neat stone, and on all sides of the walls were large doors. The tall city gates were all nailed together with logs of wood, forming a thick wooden door. The whole castle could probably live in two ten thousand people s, which was equivalent to one of the cities in Central Plains.
”Lord General, I am so sorry, I have already negotiated with Li Jian, but he refused to surrender, and even scolded us, almost killing me.” Accepted Yang Lin's request, Li Chun who went forward to advise Li Jian to surrender immediately ran over, and said to Yang Lin with a face full of guilt.
”Hehe …” He had been given a chance to live, and he had actually given up. This Li Jian, he must be tired of living, he must be tired of living! ” Yang Lin looked at Li Jian's wall and laughed coldly: ”Since you are not surrendering, then don't blame me for being impolite, I want to see how strong you are!”
”Lord General, we have already surrounded the four gates and have set up Outpost on all sides of the wall.” Yang Xing ran over and reported loudly to Yang Lin. We are preparing to attack the south gate, and now that the siege troops are ready, we request for an attack! ”
Yang Lin turned his head, only to see that Li Da had already ordered his korean soldiers to line up below the city. As it was a siege battle, ten thousand Land combat soldiers holding steel shield s and clad in armor lined up in front of the formation. Over five thousand Land combat soldiers raised their heavy crossbows, and more than a thousand cavalrymen lined up at the sides of the formation to protect their flanks.
The soldiers stood on the wasteland like moving machines made of armor. They lined up in a formation, resembling an impregnable fortress. Inadvertently, it was emitting a metallic cold light, causing people to tremble with fear. In the cold winter, people could feel the cold wind of hell.
On the city wall, the Morvo soldiers stared dumbstruck at the Han army arrayed in formations. Their shiny armor and the cold glint on their blades made them lose the courage to fight against the Han army when they left the city. In addition to their faith in the city walls, they would never leave the city so easily.
”Lord General, the reason why this Li Jian did not surrender is because his walls are sturdy and tall, not one bit inferior to our County City. We can use dozens of bags of explosives to fly him to the sky and let him experience the might of the Han army!” Zhang Banxian looked at the tall city walls and frowned.
”We must not blow up the walls unless it is absolutely necessary.” Yang Lin shook his head and laughed: ”Li Jian's city walls are tall and sturdy, and can be used as the base camp of our North Sea Fleet. If we blow away the city walls, how will we repair the city walls in this world of ice and snow?”
”Although the Morvo only has a garrison of over a thousand people, such a tall and sturdy city wall. If we were to forcibly attack it, I'm afraid we would have to pay an unbearable price.” Zhang Banxian frowned even more. These Land combat soldiers were not like Bu Peng, they all had sailing experience, but all of them could be said to be Yang Lin's treasures.
Just with over a thousand of Morvo's defending army, not a single soldier would be able to hurt or kill us. Even if I use my bow and arrow, I will still kill them all! Yang Lin shook his head and laughed lightly: ”Yang Xing, send three thousand men to the east, north and west sides of the city wall to look for opportunities to attack. If no one has the chance to attack the city, they will aim at the Morvo people on the wall and shoot.
”Ming …”
A mournful voice of a Bullhorn resounded in the mountains, echoing continuously in the skies of the peninsula. The Land combat soldiers s that were assigned to the other walls started to attack them separately. Their mission was to distract the people of the Morvo and kill all the Morvo soldiers that were walking on the wall.
When the Morvo's soldiers on the city wall saw that the Han army was spread out to four sides, they did not know what to do for a moment. The guards of the castle only numbered over a thousand, the number of people in the four cities was even fewer. They didn't know how to guard against this. After a moment of panic, the garrison on the city walls began to move towards the four cities. It seemed that they wanted to guard against an ambush from the Han army.
”Aim, shoot!”
Yang Xing slowly raised his right hand, and after he raised his arm up to the highest point, he waved it with all his might. Following a burst of bowstring sounds, thousands of Arrows s scattered onto the city walls like rain drops. The battlefield was completely silent, as if they could hear the crackling sound of Arrows s landing, the metallic sound that could penetrate armour, and the muffled sound that could be heard when they drilled into the body. Following which, miserable wails and wails could be heard as people tried to flee in every direction.
An arrow that had hit the slabs of the city wall pierced through the rock, its tail emitting a vibrating sound. A Morvo soldier who had been shot by an arrow appeared in her field of vision. The long arrow had pierced half of his chest, and the Morvo soldier's hand was subconsciously scratching the arrow shaft. She staggered and fell onto the city wall, unable to control her body.
