Firstly, after the last battle, Zhang Huan and others have already clearly understood the strength of the Longting Army. Secondly, only a real war can be like a bath in blood, covering the Longting Army with a layer of armor and allowing them to grow.

A sea of ​​heads stood upright outside the city, lined up in neat rows. Even when the wind blew, they remained motionless. This heavy feeling of oppression fell directly on everyone's heart, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall subconsciously compared themselves with each other.

Compared with the enemy's neat formation, the shining weapons on their waists, the tattered spears in their hands, the wrinkled official uniforms, and the messy panic sounds around them.

A comparison between the two will reveal who is superior and who is inferior. Just a glance and the morale of the officers and soldiers on the city wall was suddenly hit. The hands holding the spears were sweating and they could only swallow their saliva continuously.

In this tense atmosphere, the attendants around the county magistrate climbed up the city wall. It was obvious that the other side had already known about the arrival of the enemy.

The other party glanced at the surrounding officers and soldiers with a trace of disdain in his eyes, and then turned to Kato Megumi and his group outside the city gate and answered loudly.

"You rebels, what do you think the Chen army wants in front of the gate of Huangshan County? If you don't retreat quickly, don't blame us for being rude!"

"You're welcome! How can you be so rude?"

Seeing the attendant shouting arrogantly on the city wall, Zhang Huanlue was a little surprised. How could the other party have the confidence to shout like this? He found it a little funny and replied sarcastically!

"You rebels are so arrogant! The county magistrate has said it! If you leave wisely, then it will be fine. But if you want to attack our Huangshan County, then you will be defeated!"

"Hey! This guy is so arrogant!"

Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment, then started spitting.

Qinglan on the side glanced at him, speechless.

"Why are you wasting words with the other party? No matter if they are confident or ignorant, just fight. We can afford a fight."

Then Qinglan looked at Kato Megumi beside him and asked.

"Sir, can we go into battle now?"

"Can"

After getting Kato Megumi's consent, the two naturally had no objections and did not argue with each other. They simply gestured to the soldiers behind them and marched off.

Soon a row of soldiers holding wooden shields walked out of the team, and then the team began to separate from the middle to both sides, and a battering ram five meters long and three meters wide was pushed out from the team.

As the name suggests, the siege hammer is used to break down the city gate. It has eight wheels, four in each row, and two huge beams are supported by wood above the wheels. Several iron chains are tied to the beams and hang straight down. The tail of the iron chain is wrapped around a huge tree trunk that can only be hugged by three people.

The front of the trunk was polished into a round shape and covered with cast iron.

Just like a swing, as the battering ram swings back and forth, the huge tree hanging on the chain will smash forward fiercely due to inertia and its own gravity.

After attacking Wayama Prefecture, Kato Megumi was naturally not idle. Knowing that the next battle would be a hard-fought actual combat, he used this time to let the Longting Army reasonably build siege ladders, battering rams and other tools for use in this battle.

As soon as the hammer came out, the soldiers were in high spirits and rushed forward pushing the siege hammer and holding wooden shields.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The shouts and cries rose to the sky, startling the person who was shouting upstairs.

He was still wondering why the other party suddenly stopped talking. Who could have thought that the other party would push out such a huge monster from the crowd without saying a word, and rushed out shouting and killing.

"It's so scary, he is indeed a traitor, he doesn't know any pre-war etiquette at all."

The attendant cursed angrily, but soon recovered from his shock, while the officers and soldiers next to him were shocked when they saw such a huge battering ram.

"Sir, do we really not need to block the gate? Our gate can't withstand such a big battering ram! What else do you want, sir?"

You can't just send someone out to make threats, right? You don't even meet him? This is unreasonable.

The officers and soldiers asked tremblingly, feeling a little resentful in their hearts.

"No need! You just keep guarding. The county magistrate has already made plans. You just keep guarding obediently."

It was obvious that compared to the officers and soldiers, the servants who knew some inside information were not worried at all about the city gate being broken.

The officers and soldiers did not expect the other party to give this answer, and they felt very disappointed.

"Can……"

But before they could speak.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the city gate was hit hard by the battering ram.

Doomsday Natural Disaster Leaps Over Dragon Gate: Chapter 383 Chapter There is something wrong with the city gate, so we have to retreat temporarily

"It's over!"

Accompanied by the deafening roar, the officers and soldiers on the city wall felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Don't they know what the quality of the city gate is like? This level of impact force can't stop such a huge battering ram...

Could it be that the county magistrate had given up and decided to go all out? Just as the officers and soldiers were wondering, there was another loud noise, and the city gate was hit hard by the battering ram.

boom--

bang bang-

The huge impact force, with an obvious tremor, was transmitted to everyone's feet, making the officers and soldiers' hearts beat again and again, and they were frightened and worried as the city hammers hit them again and again!

Seeing that the people sent by the county magistrate were still contented, the officers and soldiers were determined to take action. Who cares! Break the city if you want! If not, surrender then! Who cares!

Maybe they can also be a soldier among the attacking group! Didn't you see that those people are in very good condition? They are well-equipped and look healthy. You can tell at a glance that they are not short of food. Such a rebel is also quite good! Maybe they will live a more comfortable life than now.

So the officers and soldiers broke into pieces with their axes and waited for the city gates to be breached.

boom--

bang bang-

With the successive attacks of the battering ram, the city gate, which was thought to be broken open quickly, actually remained motionless and showed no sign of being broken open at all.

As the soldiers looked in disbelief, the attendant sent by the county magistrate gradually smiled wider.

"Haha, you bunch of rebels, do you really think you can break through the gate of Huangshan County? You are really overestimating your abilities."

He taunted loudly, then turned his gaze to the side to look at his officers and soldiers.

"Why don't you fight back quickly? Where are the archers? Where are the stones? And where is the boiled water? Hurry up and teach these rebels a lesson."

He smiled as he spoke.

"I will tell the county magistrate this good news. You should stay at your post and teach these rebels a lesson."

"Yes! Sir, we will go now."

Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers around him quickly called out to their brothers.

"Quick, prepare the bows and arrows, and the rocks and boiling water that you brought up earlier, and get ready to throw them down."

The officers and soldiers reacted quickly and began to fight back.

However, considering that when the other side attacked the city, many people found reasons to defect and their hearts were inclined to the other side. Although they didn't know why the city gate was not breached, in order to keep a backup plan just in case, they would not be punished for disobeying orders. Although the officers and soldiers carried out the action, they released water without leaving any trace. They either poured unboiled water or lifted small stones instead of big stones first.

Maybe, although I don't know why this group of people didn't break through the city gate, but what if they did? If the other side suffered heavy casualties at that time, they would be the ones who suffered.

If you let go of some water appropriately, you can leave some room for yourself and others to fall back on when the time comes.

On the other side, Kato Megumi also realized that something was wrong. The battering ram hit the opponent's city gate more than ten times, but there was no response at all. Even if it was blocked inside, it wouldn't be like this, right?

Zhang Huan beside him frowned, and seeing this, he quickly gave orders to the people around him, calling on the attacking troops to retreat.

"Retreat as a whole army!"

"Yes!"

As the retreat horn sounded, the siege Longting army in the front quickly received the order. Everyone gathered together and quickly raised their shields to form a huge shield to block the stones and boiling water above. They retreated gradually and orderly until they were out of the opponent's offensive range, and then they quickly withdrew one after another.

"What are the casualties?"

Looking at the team in front of him which was a little bit embarrassed compared to before, Qinglan asked.

"Reporting to the deputy commander, after statistics, there are no deaths, 15 people are seriously injured, and 38 people are slightly injured!"

"No death toll? That's good."

Qinglan nodded slowly.

No matter how much the officers and soldiers relaxed, they could not pin all their hopes on this group of people they thought were traitors. Although they relaxed at the beginning, they adjusted their mentality in the end and gradually became angry.

If it weren't for this group of rebels, why would they be so frightened! Since they can't break through the city gate, why should we be afraid?

Seeing the previously mighty army now retreating in an embarrassing manner, the officers and soldiers gradually developed a sense of complacency and disdain in their hearts. The malicious side of human nature was revealed, and their offensive naturally became more and more fierce. As they became more angry, they gradually became more ruthless in their hands.

No matter how cold the boiled water is, the residual heat is still unbearable for the human body. No matter how small the stones on the wall used for counterattack are, they are still the size of a head. How could there be no injuries in the team when they fell from a height of more than ten meters! Not to mention the arrows falling from the sky, such casualties were already considered good.

After counting the casualties and settling the injured soldiers and treating their wounds, Qing Lan then asked.

"What happened to you guys just now? Why did the battering ram hit the city gate so many times but failed to break through it? Is there something wrong with the battering ram?"

"Reporting to the deputy commander! There is no problem with the battering ram. My brothers and I can see through the crack in the door that there is no stone blocking the city gate."

Speaking of this, the team leader looked embarrassed.

"I don't know why, but every time we hit the city gate with a ram, it didn't move at all! It felt like a transparent wall was covering the city gate, blocking our impact."

"I observed carefully. The city gate was not only not broken, but even the paint didn't fall off after being hit by the sledgehammer. It was completely intact!"

"Is this happening!?"

Hearing the team leader say this, Zhang Huan was surprised.

This is definitely not a problem with the city gate. Could it be that the other party also has...

Having said this, he looked at Kato Megumi who was standing beside him.

"Sir, look at this... Is the other party also..."

Unexpectedly, Kato Kei nodded decisively. If I'm not mistaken, the other party seems to have the assistance of an alien. The other party seems to have used some ability to make you return empty-handed.

The soldiers were not clear or aware of what was happening, Qinglan and Zhang Huan were too far away to see clearly, but Kato Megumi saw it clearly. Every time the battering ram hit the city gate, a thin layer of light would appear on the gate. It was almost invisible in the daytime, but she could capture it clearly.

This must be the reason why the city gate could not be breached no matter what. Otherwise, with such a large battering ram, it would be impossible for it to fail to breach the city gate.

However, this method seems to be just ordinary, and the time has not come for me to take action.

And she also felt a familiar feeling from that power... For some reason, she felt that every time the city wall shook, an unknown malice would be given to it.

Doomsday Natural Disaster Leaps Over Dragon Gate: Chapter 384 Chapter Dragon Court Retreats Three People Are Happy

"I'm not completely powerless yet. I don't know the opponent's strength yet, so I can't act rashly. Since the city gate cannot be breached, I'll just climb the city wall."

"If the other party has some other means that cannot be broken by ordinary force, I will personally take action at that time."

"Now, take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate more experience."

Kato Hui's meaning was very clear. Such a small obstacle would not make her take action. The most important reason for letting the army continue to advance was to let these Longting soldiers experience more battles and accumulate experience and vision.

After all, the Longting Army has already occupied Heshan County, and the blocked roads have been opened. There is no need to continue fighting. After all, they have no shortage of land for growing crops, nor do they lack food. The occupied Heshan County is still empty, and there is no need to expand the territory again.

They only lack people, nothing else. After all, everything needs to be rebuilt, and the most important thing is numbers.

The passage has been opened, with the presence of the businessman Sun Baoquan, coupled with Longting County's management system and unlimited food, it won't be long before the reputation of the Longting Army spreads, and then, refugees from the surrounding areas will migrate here in an endless stream.

Even if they don't take action, citizens from the surrounding counties will gradually gather towards where they are because of the rumors. Over time, the surrounding counties will become empty cities, and Heshan and Longting will become more and more prosperous.

They can defeat the other side without any effort. A county without its citizens is a dead county. Even if the other side has a few hundred soldiers, they will be empty by then and all of them will have left!

Moreover, by that time, the strength of the Longting Army would no longer be comparable to that of a small county court.

"My Lord, I understand."

"Yes, my lord"

Both Zhang Huan and Qing Lan had no objection to Kato Megumi's opinion.

After some discussion, the two men felt that the army had already captured a wave of cities. Although morale was not low, the officers and soldiers were a little tired. So they should take a break and prepare meals. After they were full and energetic, they would attack the city again in the evening.

At night, our vision will definitely be superior to that of the other side, and the resistance encountered in setting up the wooden ladder will be reduced due to vision.

After the specific decision was made, Zhang Huan ordered his men to rest on the spot and prepare meals.

However, this made it difficult for the officers and soldiers on the city gate. When they saw those mighty rebels being beaten and retreating in a panic, the officers and soldiers on the city wall could not help but be happy. However, before they could be happy for long, they saw the other side taking action. The people outside were on alert, while the people inside sat cross-legged.

Just when they were curious about what the other party was going to do, they saw a bonfire light up, and then the other party put something on the fire.

As the delicious and fragrant smell drifted onto the city wall with the breeze, the officers and soldiers began to salivate. They knew that the other side was about to have dinner!

This made the officers and soldiers very jealous. They could see the food but could not eat it, and they were on guard but felt powerless.

Because the smell was so delicious and they were so hungry.
