Chapter 862 - 859: Boiling
Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua, both donned in armor, stood on either side, leading the crossbowmen, shooting arrows at the enemy climbing the city walls.
Shen Yanan and Shen Yanzhong also helped transport stones, leading their teams to hurl them in an orderly fashion at the enemy attempting to scale the walls.
Seeing that Li Mingrui had already ordered the catapult to be brought forward, and the archers had begun shooting...
Shen Yanan shouted loudly, "Everyone get down! Get down!"
Just as Shen Yanan finished his command, an arrow from afar pierced his arm, causing him to fall immediately. He gritted his teeth to suppress a scream of pain, hiding beneath the wall to catch his breath.
After the first wave of arrows subsided, Shen Yanan stood up again, shouting, "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot those damn bastards!"
Below the city walls, a hail of arrows flew over, wounding the civilians in the city, with some even piercing the tents set up for officials to treat the injured soldiers.
The Shuoyang Army, still running to deliver supplies up the wall, shouted, "Hurry! Hurry! Hide!"
Children and young men agilely dodged under tables and into houses, and when the rain of arrows ceased momentarily, they quickly resumed carrying stones up to the wall.
