My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 186: The Wood Like Rain
"Begin the siege!"

At the command of the leading Xianbei chief, dozens of siege ladders were immediately set up on the three walls of Luwu amid the shouts of the Xianbei warriors.

Countless Xianbei warriors immediately began to attack the city.

They bit their scimitars in their mouths, held up half-shields with their right hands to protect their heads, and used their remaining left hands and feet to coordinate with each other to quickly climb up the engineering ladders.

"The Xianbei are attacking!"

This was the first time in the past six months that the Xianbei people in Luwu were able to break through the numerous traps and moats, and despite the terrible casualties, they still had enough strength to attack the city.

Therefore, many of the auxiliary soldiers defending on the top of Luwu City showed fear on their faces, and some even cried out in surprise.

"Don't panic, just follow the usual training. The Xianbei people will never be able to break through Luwu!"

Seeing this, Lu Yi thought to himself that something was wrong. He immediately took out the bow and arrow from his back, aimed at the Xianbei soldier who was rushing in the front and shot an arrow.

"what!"

Although Lu Yi's archery skills are not as abnormal as his second brother Lu Bu, they still remain at the first-class level.

The angle of his shooting was tricky, just glancing at the edge of the shield and hitting the Xianbei soldier's right eye steadily.

As a result, the Xianbei soldier's vitals were severely damaged, and his left hand immediately fell down weakly. With a scream, he fell heavily under the city, leaving a small hole.

Although Lu Yi had eliminated one enemy, he did not want to give up and let go of these invaders who attempted to attack his homeland.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

His right hand was seen flying non-stop as all twenty arrows in the quiver were used up.

Lu Yi's continuous shooting once again accurately hit the nineteen most enthusiastic Xianbei soldiers who were climbing.

Nineteen Xianbei soldiers were either dead or injured, but without exception all of them fell heavily from the engineering ladders and fell heavily to the ground.

What's worse, some of them even hit their unlucky comrades directly, causing serious injuries to those who were hit.

Lu Yi's twenty arrows even caused more than twenty casualties.

"Master Lu Yi's great shooting skill!"

Seeing that their master and commander had such sharp archery skills, the auxiliary soldiers cheered excitedly and the previous haze that the Xianbei people were about to rush to the top of the city was swept away.

The Xianbei people who were attacking the city were also shocked by Lu Yi's archery skills.

They clearly sensed that Lu Yi specifically selected the Xianbei people who were climbing in the front row to shoot.

Therefore, all the Xianbei people who were already climbing the siege ladders slowed down their climbing speed, fearing that they would fall into the same fate as their comrades who were shot and killed by Lu Yi.

The Xianbei warrior who had not yet climbed up the siege ladder also subconsciously retracted his left hand that was about to grasp the ladder, wanting to wait until Lu Yi was exhausted before climbing the ladder.

But as consumables of war, their will cannot determine their own destiny.

"By order of Lord Huto, anyone who dares to retreat will die!"

Seeing that the rhythm of their siege was temporarily suppressed by Lu Yi alone, the leader of the Xianbei supervision team who had been following these Xianbei vanguards immediately became furious. He stepped forward and chopped off the head of a Xianbei vanguard who showed signs of retreat. The blood spurted from the neck of the headless corpse and splashed all over his face, making him look as terrifying as a Shura crawling out of hell.

After seeing the miserable state of those who retreated, the Xianbei vanguards were shocked and immediately stopped their retreat. They gritted their teeth and rushed towards the engineering ladders howling, hoping to dispel the fear in their hearts.

"Get ready!" Lu Yi snorted coldly upon seeing this, and put away the bow and arrow in his hand while breathing slightly. Even though he had shot twenty arrows in a row, most of his physical strength had been consumed. A battle on the city wall might happen at any time, and he still needed to conserve some physical strength, so he didn't plan to shoot arrows himself.

"Yes!" Cheng Lian responded, and immediately took the lead in picking up a thick half-zhang-long wooden beam. The branches of the wooden beam were cut off, leaving only a bare trunk, so that it could roll down with the siege ladder as much as possible during the descent, so as to injure and kill more enemies, or even directly break the siege ladder.

Following Cheng Lian's lead, many auxiliary soldiers also picked up a heavy wooden beam in twos and threes, waiting for Lu Yi's order to smash the wooden beams hard on the heads of the Xianbei vanguards along the siege ladders.

Lu Yi had been observing the situation and did not immediately order the release of the wooden beams.

"Release Sagi!"

Instead, he waited patiently until most of the Xianbei vanguards rushed to the top of the city wall, and then he shouted and gave the order.

"Boom!"

Cheng Lian was the first to smash the heavy wooden beam in his hand down along the siege ladder in front of him.

Under the guidance of gravity, the wooden beams weighing hundreds of pounds smashed heavily on the heads of the Xianbei vanguards who were standing in a string like ants on the siege ladders.

The wooden half-shields they held high in their right hands shattered like paper under the impact of the heavy wooden beams.

The flesh and blood of the Xianbei vanguards under the shields were even more vulnerable. They were seriously injured if they were touched by the wooden beams, and died on the spot if they were hit by the wooden beams.

Countless Xianbei vanguards fell heavily amidst the blood mist created by the heavy logs, killing and injuring more Xianbei people.

The Xianbei vanguards on dozens of siege ladders on the top of Luwu City were almost instantly cleared out by the wooden beams dropped from the top of Luwu City.

The Xianbei vanguard immediately suffered hundreds of casualties.

Even several of the sturdy siege ladders were broken by the heavy wooden beams, which halted the Xianbei charge.

"Smash these damn wolf cubs to death!"

"If it weren't for the help of us Han people, how could this group of ungrateful wolves become the overlords of the grassland? Now that they have become powerful, they want to bite their master. Damn it!"

When the auxiliary soldiers on the top of Luwu City saw the miraculous effect of the harvested wood, they couldn't help but cheer loudly, and their morale suddenly increased.

The Xianbei vanguards under the city looked at their fellow warriors who died in a miserable state and looked at each other in confusion. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should continue the attack and remained in a stalemate.

"Two clan leaders, why don't you quickly order your people to attack? Are you planning to disobey the orders of the commander-in-chief, Lord Huto?"

Upon seeing this, the captain of Hutuo's direct line immediately stepped forward and scolded the two clan leaders who also looked hesitant.

"Don't dare!"

"I'll attack right now!"

The two men did not dare to disobey Hutto's orders, so they had to grit their teeth and wield the whip, forcing their men to continue the attack.

Feeling the physical encouragement from their family leader, hundreds of selected Xianbei soldiers once again gritted their teeth and climbed up the engineering ladder where their lives and deaths were unknown.

But what awaited them was still the second wave of logs.

Many of the trees near Jiuyuan Pavilion have been made into logs by Lu Yi, so there is nothing else, but there are enough logs!

In an instant, wooden poles fell like rain, hitting the heads of the siege vanguards hard.
