Chapter 693 - 342: Turing Tuo Defeated!_3
The battering rams began pounding at the city gates, and dozens upon dozens of large siege ladders were set up against the city walls; countless soldiers surged forward like a swarm of ants.
It was truly strange for Turing Tuo. Why had they managed to reach the walls of Tianshui City so easily?
Why was there no resistance at all? It was deeply unsettling.
However, Turing Tuo had already anticipated that Suo Lun might use a fire attack with burning oil.
First, they had their most elite samurai wear fireproof cloaks, and second, every one of those samurai carried a bag of mud so that if a fire did break out, they could quickly smother it with the mud.
...
At this time atop the city walls, Yan Yan and the others were extremely anxious.
Suo Lun had just ordered that no arrows should be shot and the medium catapults should not launch powder kegs, which allowed Turing Tuo’s army of forty thousand to charge under the walls very successfully, with almost no casualties.
And now, countless soldiers had climbed up, swarming like ants.
If hundreds or even thousands of soldiers reached the ramparts, it would be a serious problem.
Meanwhile, the massive crossbow formation of the Tuling Tuo Army kept firing wildly at Tianlang Pass’ battlements, pinning down the defenders so they couldn’t even lift their heads.
