Chapter 268 Defense

Seeing that the others had nothing to say, I said, "Then there is nothing else to discuss. Let us all devote ourselves to our posts."

After the meeting, I took the guards and went back to work on the catapult. The Allied forces were not officially attacking anyway, so we had to do as much defense work as possible.

But every day I would take the guards twice to the beach. A day later, in the evening, a large number of ships were seen coming down to the shore again. Twenty big ships were in front, and seventy or eighty small boats followed like a school of fish.

Li's words proved true.

"Chief, we should go back."

"Look again."

After the ship landed, a large number of people immediately landed, the boat is all food, people on the shore one bag after another to carry up. If we have enough ships and men, how can we see them ready for all this?

On the way back, I felt a little chagrin. After returning to the city wall, he still sent four people down to report the situation.

I stopped at the gate, the quickest way into the tribe, the most important part of the guard.

After talking with Wu Wa about the situation, I said: "Wu Wa, you can watch carefully, the allied forces will not let you here."

"Don't worry, chief, I'll hold it." Wu Wa promised.

"I think they sent tens of thousands. Carry it slowly." I didn't know what to say, so I got on the alpaca and headed back to the southwest wall.

If tens of thousands of men attack at once, we can't hold them.

By midnight the trees below were stirring. There were noises and we could even see people.

"Fly elder brother, they this be want dozen?"

"That you return leng what, give me although hit a stone." "I shouted.

Li Ding quickly told the man operating the catapult to shoot at the sound he heard.

Before long, word came from Wu Wa that thousands of men had begun to attack the gate. Ask me for backup.

Having arranged for others to hold their posts, I hurried over with my Guards and two other groups. In the past, the bows and arrows flew like rain against the city wall. Fortunately, Wuwa was well prepared and defended himself with shields, waiting for a timely counterattack. But there were too many Allies, at least 2,000 at first glance. Using bows and arrows as cover, they let others close to the wall and tried to ascend the city using wooden ladders.

Our timely assistance drove those who approached back again and again.

There's a lot of yelling going on down there. We don't have much of an advantage anymore.

Wuwa held her shield over her head and came running, crouching at her waist.

"Chief, they seem to have more arrows than they can use, and we don't have enough men."

"We can't help it, if we take the men from the other walls. They'll come up from somewhere else, and we can't fall into that trap."

"But look, dozens of us are dead."

I looked around, this time the injury rate is really not small.

"Push these people down first, then we'll retreat to the tribal walls."

After Wuwa left, I sent men to the other walls to bring the catapults. It's all about using the catapult to get the upper hand.

Although the people below lost a lot, but relying on their own number, have been straight forward, several people are on the wall, fortunately, or hacked to death, blocked the following troops.

After more than an hour of fighting, the catapults and equipment were all assembled, and more than twenty catapults were dropped together, which began to turn the tide. The allied forces were falling apart and falling back.

Hundreds of bodies were left on the road below the gates, and 30 or 40 on our walls. And a number of wounded. And we're all out of bullets.

I went to Wuwa and told her to retreat to the inner walls, and told the others to retreat at the same time. I'm taking three teams of men and catapults, and I'm doing everything I can to keep the coalition forces down.

When they left, we began to strike back with bows and arrows. We didn't do much damage, but at least we were able to suppress the attack.

After more than ten minutes, the other side began to retreat. I let the trebuchet go back, and then I took three groups out myself.

After placing our men within the inner walls, our ammunition was soon replenished. The inner wall was much smaller than the outer wall, and the line of seven hundred men was solid.

A few people gathered around me and I asked about it.

"The attack has begun. They are on the lower ground. We did not lose much, and some of them were killed." Li ding said.

"It's a similar story on my end." Zong said.

"So do I."

As soon as they finished speaking, I said, "Then we must defend the inner wall, and as soon as their large army arrives, you will throw fireballs at me."

At this time, Li Wanxue also rushed over.

I stopped her and asked, "What happened to the harvest outside the city?"

"We had a rush, but we couldn't finish it in time."

"How long will it last us?" They're in for a long haul, and if we run out of food, it's all for naught.

"More than three months." Li Wanxue held up three fingers.

"That's enough." I do not believe that they can really continue the siege, 10,000 people a day food loss of more than ten thousand jin.

"We are falling back, chief. They should attack the outer wall by midnight." "Asked Zombo.

I nodded. "It should be. But they're going to have to redeploy their troops and their plans, and it's going to take hours. Let's get some rest."

"Then I'll prepare a midnight snack." Li Wanxue stood up.

I waved my hands. I was all about the city defense.

Just as they were bringing the meal, the sky suddenly darkened.

I took a picture of an aborigine beside me: "Is it rainy season or dry season?"

"I don't know. I followed you to the other world."

I stood up and asked several people before I learned that the rainy season was coming. This is good news and bad news. Good because their sieges will be harder during the rainy season, bad because our defenses will be harder.

Almost every rainy season is preceded by a shower of rain every day. When the rainy season officially comes, it rains more, often for several days at a time. And a few rainy days a day, a few sunny days. The tropical climate is often hard to fathom.

No sooner had we finished eating than it began to rain cats and dogs. The Allies will not miss this opportunity to attack together. Soon, from the direction of the gate, the great army rushed up the wall. By the time we were aware of the change, they had taken over the outer wall. And we're already on the inner wall.

The allied forces probably thought they were cheating, and when they captured the outer wall, they did not proceed to the next step, but instead built a shelter on the wall of skins and wood.

The gloomy weather made the light very dim, and a firelight everywhere announced that a shelter had been built. We wouldn't let them get away with it. Take out one canopy after another with a trebuchet. It's like two people playing lights on and lights out in the dark.

The struggle continued until dawn. Fortunately, the rain has also stopped. We took shifts to send people back for dry clothes. Look at those near the wall of the outer city allied forces, one with a drowned chicken like, dense like ants out of the hole in general.

They soon received fresh orders and began to attack open Spaces and fields, during which time our trebuchets showed themselves to be superior. Hit them all over the place. But they were outnumbered, and many ran outside the ditch. There were casualties in the exchange of fire.

It was another morning. Their arrows came in and we could collect them for second use, but they couldn't collect the iron bullets we shot out.

The allied forces, unable to attack, had to retreat. Hundreds of metres of shelter were built on the walls beyond the reach of the catapults. We, too, were exhausted, and sat down on the wall to rest.

Li Ding disgruntled of come over: "fly elder brother, so go down is not way."

"You have an idea?"

He nodded. "Why don't we keep digging, dig a tunnel down to the bottom, and go down to the coast and destroy all their ships and supplies."
