Chapter 68: Hold on for Half a Day
At noon, the sky was overcast and it looked like it was about to rain.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the defenders of Daming City.

The dark crowd was like the dark clouds in the sky. The earthen wall was not very high, only two meters in height. There was no need for ladders or other siege equipment, one could climb up just by forming a human wall.

Arrows at forty-five degrees shot up into the sky, covering the sky like ephedra.

The command ability of the eighth-rate general Xu Rong was actually higher than that of Zhuge Liang. When Zhuge Liang ordered the rain of arrows to attack, Xu Rong had already ordered the sword and shield men to clear the way.

The rain of arrows caused almost no damage to the enemy infantry, who were still advancing in an orderly manner to the city wall.

Now Zhuge Liang did not dare to be careless and could only rely on the city walls for defense.

Guo Tu looked at the enemy’s attack with a serious expression, and he became more and more worried. The opponent’s on-the-spot command ability was obviously stronger than that of Liao Hua and Xing Daorong.

The strength of an eighth-rate general should not be underestimated. When Xing Daorong attacked Daming Town, his on-the-spot dispatch and troop deployment abilities were comparable to Zhuge Liang’s, or even slightly inferior.

But Xu Rong was much more capable than Zhuge Liang. He commanded and used various forces appropriately. Moreover, they did not counterattack with arrows at the first moment. Instead, they used sword and shield soldiers to hold the line and sent the first infantry to the bottom of the city wall.

As long as you climb onto the city wall, it will be a one-sided crushing!
After all, their military strength is three times that of Daming Town. Only after the city wall is broken can their archers exert their greatest power. Now he is conserving his strength, not only to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but also to ensure sufficient arrows and weapons!

Not simple!

Guo Tu began to worry. At this critical juncture, Daming Town had no time to recruit soldiers and had to wait until tomorrow’s recruitment day!

So no matter what, Zhuge Liang has to hold on for half a day!
Ning Mengya clenched her fists and looked at the situation on the battlefield. She began to get nervous for the first time for no reason.

She had never been so nervous in any previous battle, except for the first battle with the bandits.

However, after learning about Zhuge Liang’s strength, she was no longer worried.

But this time was clearly different from every previous battle, and Ning Mengya also felt deeply dangerous!

The three-party coalition has three times the strength of her own army, the enemy general is higher than Zhuge Liang, and there are also ninth-rate generals. No matter what the configuration is, Ning Mengya is desperate and can’t see any hope!
Of course, Zhuge Liang also knew that he had to hold on until this afternoon. As long as it was past midnight, he could immediately ask Ning Mengya to upgrade the town and barracks to improve his own strength!

Not only that, after upgrading the barracks to level 5, the barracks’ capacity will increase, and Ning Mengya can immediately recruit new NPC soldiers to supplement them.

Fortunately, Ning Mengya has enough money now, otherwise Daming Town would really fall into despair.

If Zhuge Liang can think of it, how could the other players not think of it? If the other players can recruit NPCs, they can do it too!

Therefore, there is no reason to lose this war no matter what, unless the other side is extremely lucky and recruits third-rate generals this time. If this is true, everyone’s levels are at most equal and they may not lose!

But the probability of this happening is too small!

The three players squinted their eyes and looked at the battlefield situation. They couldn’t help but sigh: “General Xu Rong’s command ability is really strong!”

“The vanguard soldiers have already reached the city. This low wall will be breached in no time!”

200 infantrymen have arrived at the foot of the city wall under the cover of swordsmen and shieldmen.

The one hundred people below used their bodies as ladders, and the one hundred people above stepped on their companions to climb the city.

“catapult!”

Zhuge Liang shouted loudly, and at the same time, he kept killing the soldiers who intended to land on the city wall with his gun.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the increase in experience points and skill points on the panel, and waved his weapon with all his might to block all the soldiers who came to climb the city!

Bang bang bang!
Huge stones were thrown down recklessly, and rows of soldiers who had just climbed to the top of the city wall had their brains splattered by the stones.

However, this group of soldiers were well-trained and had no fear of death. When their companions died, someone would immediately take over. At the same time, Xu Rong was not idle either. He waved his hands, stared, and shouted loudly: “Arrow formation cover!”

Whoosh whoosh!
An overwhelming rain of arrows shot towards the city wall of Daming Town.

Uh-huh.

The militiamen defending the city were in a panic. They not only had to repel the attacking soldiers below, but also had to defend against the rain of arrows from the sky.

Fortunately, the soldiers under Zhuge Liang were all elite soldiers. They were not afraid of death at all and had a strong will to fight.

They shoulder the responsibility of protecting their homeland! This belief supports them to be fearless and brave!

However, the difference in the number of soldiers was clearly there. As the soldiers of Daming Town fell one by one, there were fewer and fewer soldiers guarding the city, and the enemy soldiers were about to climb up the city wall.

Ning Mengya clenched her fists and immediately went down the observation deck.

Guo Tu asked nervously, “My Lord, what are you going to do?”

He was afraid that Ning Mengya would cause trouble, so he hurried to catch up with Ning Mengya.

However, Ning Mengya did not go to the battlefield. She rode a horse to a residential house in the village.

“My people!”

“Our territory is under enemy attack!”

“After the city is destroyed, we will have no place to live! The homes we built will be trampled, and our people will be enslaved by the enemy!”

“If anyone is willing to defend the city, please step out immediately!”

Mobilize all the resources in the territory! Although these villagers have no fighting power, they can help the soldiers guarding the city to carry stones, transport arrows, etc.!
Tian Si immediately stepped out and shouted, “My Lord! I do!”

“My Lord, Ji Ba is willing!”

“My lord, Wu Twelve is willing!”

……

“Kill them, kill these enemies!”

More and more villagers shouted indignantly, and immediately charged towards the top of the city wall under the leadership of Tian Si.

Among the more than 400 people, almost no one was a coward, and they all charged towards the city without fear of death!
Guo Tu stared at the scene blankly, and felt his eyes turn red.

I thought the main guild would cause trouble, but I didn’t expect…

The people are united and this battle… has hope!
Guo Tu didn’t care about that and rode his horse towards the city! All the people had gone, so why shouldn’t he, the acting prime minister, participate in the task of defending the city?
“kill!”

Wang Da held a spear and stabbed an enemy soldier who had climbed up the city wall to death!

Seeing more and more soldiers climbing up the city wall, Xu Rong, who was on the opposite side of the battlefield, smiled slightly and immediately ordered: “Order the soldiers in the rear to charge the city gate!”

As long as the soldiers on the city wall open the city gate, it will be a matter of time before the city is broken.

The next moment, Xu Rong suddenly stopped and said, “Wait!”

The three players were also stunned, staring blankly at the other side’s city, and couldn’t help but exclaimed: “How is this possible?”
