Chapter 426: Close the door and beat the dog
The Yoda soldiers advanced forward like a tide, and the large group of Yoda soldiers in the rear had no idea what was happening in the front.
They only saw their companions rushing towards the city in a swarm, and faintly heard a loud and chaotic voice coming from the front:
"The city gate is broken! The city gate is broken!"
This shout was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves. Immediately afterwards, more Yoda soldiers followed suit, shouting at the top of their lungs, "The city gate is broken, brothers, charge!" and rushed towards the city gate regardless of everything.
In the tower above the city gate, a centurion was standing by the window, looking at the scene below with a grim expression. Outside the window, a large number of Yoda soldiers were pouring into the city gate like a swarm of crazy ants. The sound of their footsteps and shouts made the stone slabs under their feet tremble slightly.
At this time, a young and nervous soldier hurried up the tower and came to the centurion. He panted and asked in a respectful and anxious tone:
"Sir, this... this Yoda has been let in as planned. Should we pull down the gate now?"
The centurion did not answer immediately. His eyes were still fixed on the city gate, with an elusive expression on his face. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said:
"No hurry. There aren't enough people in this situation. Let's wait until more people enter the city. It won't be too late to act then."
At the same time, the battlefield outside the city walls was like hell on earth. The Yoda soldiers faced numerous difficulties and obstacles, and every inch of their way forward was filled with the threat of death.
Yoda soldiers were constantly pierced through the bodies by arrows shot from the city walls, and fell to the ground after howling in pain; artillery shells smashed into the crowd, accompanied by sharp whistles and deafening explosions, and a blood mist spread, dyeing the surrounding air a deep red.
In front of the city wall, there were rows of solid barricades, trying to stop the advance of the Yoda soldiers. The Yoda soldiers had to spend a lot of energy and work together to push the heavy barricades aside one by one, risking being shot.
"Hurry up! Carry the ladder over here quickly, or we will all die here!"
The Yoda soldiers gritted their teeth, struggled to carry the ladders, and hurried towards the trench.
The siege tower nearby was blocked by the trench and could not pass through. An officer in charge of commanding the siege tower looked at the trench and shouted anxiously, "What should we do? The trench is too wide. The siege tower will just sink into it!"
Just as he was speaking, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the originally tense and busy atmosphere.
Then, a black shadow was thrown down from the city wall like a ghost, drawing a strange arc in the air. Before anyone could react, the black shadow "boomed" and hit the siege tower next to it.
At this moment, the officer felt as if his face was stained with an unknown liquid, which slowly slid down his cheek. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his face, and then raised his hand in front of his eyes to see that it was black and emitting a pungent smell.
Suddenly, dozens of flaming arrows rained down on them, carrying with them the fiery breath of death. The arrows cut through the air, making sharp "whooshing" sounds, which immediately diverted the officers' attention.
"Get out of the way!"
The officer shouted loudly, with a hint of panic in his voice that could not be concealed.
Some of the arrows hit the siege tower without any suspense. In an instant, a raging fire spread inside the siege tower, and the flames quickly devoured everything.
The originally tall and majestic siege tower was now surrounded by flames, like a trapped giant beast, making bursts of "crackling" sounds, and was soon ignited into a dazzling torch.
The heat wave from the flames hit him in the face, making it almost impossible to breathe. The burning wood seemed to be trying to break free, making loud crackling noises and sparks flying everywhere. The officer was pushed back repeatedly by the heat wave, his face full of fear and unwillingness.
The surrounding soldiers were also in chaos. Some tried to put out the flames with weapons, but found that it was all in vain. The rest fled in panic, with shouts and curses intertwined.
Inside the city, the atmosphere was as depressing as the dullness before a storm. More and more Yoda soldiers gathered inside the wall.
These soldiers continued to pour towards the city gate like a tide, gradually filling up the originally spacious ground.
The centurion on the city wall stood at the battlement, looking grimly at the densely packed Yoda soldiers below, like an ant colony.
Suddenly, he raised his arm and issued a powerful command:
"Open the gate!"
Following this order, the soldiers began to operate the device at the city gate. A dull sound of chains turning slowly rang out, and that sound was like the death knell of the god of death, echoing low in the air. Finally, a heavy gate slowly descended from the gap above the city gate.
Inside the city, the Yoda soldiers who had been gathering like a tide instantly became a mess when they saw the gate at the city gate slowly lowering.
Panic quickly spread among them, and the originally orderly team became fragmented. These Yoda soldiers ran towards the city in a panic, trying to grab this last ray of hope while the gates were not completely down.
Some Yoda soldiers desperately pushed their fellow soldiers around them just to get closer to the city wall; others rushed left and right in the crowd, shouting anxiously and chaotically. Their footsteps raised a cloud of dust on the rough ground in the city, and countless panicked figures intertwined together, forming a chaotic and desperate picture.
However, they obviously forgot that it was not so easy to get out of here easily.
The soldiers on the city wall were well prepared. They looked coldly at the Yoda soldiers who were in chaos in the city, without any mercy in their eyes.
Then, the soldiers above began to carry out their plan in an orderly manner. They each picked up a barrel of kerosene and poured it toward the city gate through the gaps reserved in the city wall. The kerosene slid down the edge of the city wall, and soon, a large area of the ground around the city gate was soaked.
Then, with a whoosh of wind, the torches were thrown out from the soldiers' hands and landed precisely on the pile of kerosene. In an instant, a ball of fierce flames "whoosh" sprang up, like a ferocious beast opening its bloody mouth and madly devouring everything around it.
A raging fire burned at the city gate, and the high temperature of the flames caused the air to begin to distort. The fire spread rapidly, and soon completely cut off the retreat of the Yoda soldiers who were trying to retreat back into the city.
Inside the city, soldiers were on high alert, with a large number of soldiers armed with crossbows and muskets deployed everywhere. When the Yoda soldiers broke into the city, they immediately launched an offensive, focusing on each Yoda soldier. Crossbows whizzed out, muskets roared continuously, Yoda soldiers fell one after another, and corpses gradually piled up under the city wall. The bloody and miserable scene was shocking.
The battle lasted for a long time, the smoke gradually dissipated, and time passed quietly. Finally, after a fierce fight, as the last Yoda soldier fell to the ground, the battle stopped temporarily. The city fell into a dead silence again, only the piled up corpses silently told the tragic story just now, as if time had stopped at this moment.
