Chapter 834 Yellow Turban Warrior!

"Humph, what's wrong with the Yellow Turban Warrior? We, the Lei Ze Dragon Riders, are not afraid of him!"

Nangong Tianxia snorted coldly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

As soon as the Yellow Turban warriors appeared below, they immediately joined the battle. Thousands of burly figures holding heavy weapons launched a fierce charge towards the city wall.

Huge stone hammers, iron axes, maces and other weapons were waving in the air, making bursts of wind-breaking sounds, trying to smash the city walls to pieces.

Upon seeing this, the defenders on the city wall immediately strengthened their defenses, using the arrow towers, parapets and other defensive fortifications on the city wall to fight back against the offensive of the Yellow Turban warriors with rolling logs, stones, strong bows and crossbows.

However, the Yellow Turban warriors were wearing heavy armor and holding heavy weapons, and even the defenders' arrows and rolling logs and rocks could not cause much damage to them.

"Don't panic, don't get confused! Use your longbow to shoot them in the eyes and joints!"

"Where are the crossbows? Aim at them!"

Nangong Tianxia shouted loudly, and his angry roar echoed on the city wall.

The defenders on the city wall followed Nangong Tianxia's instructions and aimed the many crossbows and longbows on the city wall at the eyes, joints and other vital parts of the Yellow Turban warriors below.

This trick really worked. Although the Yellow Turban warriors were extremely powerful, their eyes, joints and other vital parts were their weak points.

As long as the defenders' longbows can hit these vital parts accurately, they will lose their combat effectiveness.

However, the Yellow Turban warriors were no pushovers. They quickly adjusted their tactics and began using heavy weapons to block the defenders' arrows, while looking for opportunities to launch a charge towards the city walls.

Under the city wall, Meng Zhang watched the performance of the Yellow Turban warriors and was not surprised.

In this brutal siege, with all kinds of siege and defense equipment flying everywhere, the role of Taoist soldiers was not as great as in field battles.

After all, no matter how strong the Taoist soldiers are, if they are hit by crossbows and other weapons on the city walls, they will still die, no different from those ordinary troops.

Although these Yellow Turban warriors are powerful, they are not invincible.

As long as the defenders can find their weaknesses and exploit them, they can effectively weaken their combat effectiveness.

"Order Zhang Hao, Liang Lin, and Liang Fang to each lead a team of Yellow Turban soldiers. While the attention of the defenders and most of the city defense equipment are being attracted by the Yellow Turban warriors, you must climb the city wall as soon as possible!"

Meng Zhang's lips moved slightly, and the flag bearer next to him waved the flags in his hands continuously, changing the battle layout in front.

Zhang Hao, Liang Lin and Liang Fang acted upon hearing the order. While the Yellow Turban warriors were being targeted by the defenders, they once again led a team of Yellow Turban soldiers to launch a fierce charge towards the city wall.

Holding a Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, Zhang Hao rushed to the ladder below the city wall like a tiger descending from a mountain.

The brothers Liang Lin and Liang Fang also cooperated well. Liang Lin held a pair of silver hammers, while Liang Fang wielded a phoenix-wing gilded halberd. The two of them, one attacking and the other defending, continued to climb up the ladder.

Nangong Tianxia, ​​who was on the city wall, felt a strong sense of crisis when he saw the fierce attack of Zhang Hao, Liang Lin and Liang Fang.

If he allowed these three people to climb onto the city wall, his Lei Ze Dragon Riders would probably not be able to hold them back as he was unable to cope with the situation.

And once the three of them were able to open up a situation on the city wall, Qianyuan City would no longer be defensible.

But what he needs to be especially wary of now is the Yellow Turban warriors commanded by Meng Zhang under the city wall!
The same Taoist army, when commanded by Zhang Jiao or Meng Zhang, poses a completely different threat!
Now the Yellow Turban Warrior has come on the field. Although he does not know Meng Zhang's specific plan, he dare not be careless. Therefore, facing the climb of Zhang Hao and the other two, Nangong Tianxia can only order to strengthen the defense and send more Lei Ze Dragon Riders to support.

For a moment, the shouts and cries of killing from the top and bottom of the city walls shook the earth.

With the addition of thousands of burly Yellow Turban warriors, cracks eventually began to appear in the defense line created by the Lei Ze Dragon Riders.

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from under the city wall.

Nangong Tianxia looked in the direction of the sound and saw in the distance among the rear army of the Yellow Turban Army, rows of huge catapults slowly revealed their huge and ferocious figures and were rapidly heading towards Qianyuan City.

Moreover, the bodies of the leading catapults were engraved with various mysterious runes and patterns containing ink-related machinery. It was obviously another powerful siege weapon modified by the Mohist disciples among the Yellow Turban Army.

"Oh no! That's the Yellow Turban Army's giant catapult! Quickly strengthen the defense!"

Nangong Tianxia shouted loudly, and his rapid roar echoed on the city wall, making the surrounding defenders' hearts rise to their throats.

Upon hearing this, the defenders took action to strengthen the fortifications on the city walls, while preparing to meet the attack of the Yellow Turban Army's giant catapults.

However, at this moment, a row of giant catapults in the distance suddenly fired huge stone bombs. Countless stone bombs drew graceful arcs in the air and then headed straight for the city wall!

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the stone bullet hit the city wall hard, instantly creating a huge hole in the wall.

The defenders were knocked back and forth by the tremendous impact, and many of them were even shaken off the city wall.

At the same time, as soon as the Yellow Turban warriors below appeared on the battlefield, they were targeted by various city defense equipment, longbows and crossbows on the city walls, attracting most of the firepower.

However, as they were able to become Taoist soldiers and the trump card of the Taiping Sect, the Yellow Turban strongman would naturally not be so easy to deal with.

They seemed to have anticipated the defenders on the city wall's reaction and took out a huge specially made iron shield from behind them.

Each of these iron shields is more than one person tall, several inches thick, and covered with patterns. They are obviously defensive weapons carefully crafted by the disciples of the Mohist School.

Many burly Yellow Turban warriors held up iron shields as protective shields and slowly advanced forward. Behind them, a long line of Yellow Turban soldiers followed closely behind them.

Hiding behind their burly figures and using the giant iron shields in the hands of the Yellow Turban warriors to avoid the rain of arrows from the city wall, he operated various heavy siege equipment and began to slowly approach Qianyuan City.

Among them, a heavy siege weapon called "city-breaking crossbow" is particularly eye-catching.

It is shaped like a huge crossbow, but the arrow is actually a thick iron rod with a sharp tip that is sharp enough to penetrate the bricks and stones of the city wall.

There is also a device called a "battering cone", which is shaped like a giant cone with an extremely sharp tip and is specially designed to break down city gates.

And the "Earth Shaker", which has a huge body, huge wooden wheels, and is loaded with huge stones. Once started, it can knock away any obstacles in its way.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the huge "battering ram".

It was like a sleeping giant beast, being pushed laboriously by dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers, slowly approaching the gate of Qianyuan City.
