"A Noble Family's Romantic Journey" - Chapter 401

The green-eyed fox Xixi exclaimed happily, "Fourth Sister's archery skills are amazing!"
"Javelin ready!"
The entire archer brigade fired more than 5,000 arrows, but only caused casualties of more than 500 enemy soldiers. This number was far too small. Now the Mongol soldiers were only 50 paces away from the main city wall of Woniugang. It was time to use javelins. At this distance, hundreds of javelins thrown at once would definitely be able to shatter some shields!
"Ready! Throw!"
At Wudi's command, the soldiers at the main gate of Woniugang Village threw five hundred javelins at once. More than two hundred wooden shields were shattered by the huge impact of the javelins, directly exposing the Mongol soldiers behind the shields. The Mongol soldiers turned around and tried to escape, but the second volley of javelins had already arrived. More wooden shields were shattered, and more than three hundred Mongol soldiers were pierced by the javelins. However, the Mongol soldiers were already only twenty paces away from the wooden wall.
Twenty steps, ten steps, five steps! Two volleys of javelins were thrown from the four directions of the main camp of Woniugang, and there was also a rain of arrows, but none of this could stop the advance of the Mongol army. The Mongol soldiers suffered only a thousand casualties before they rushed to within five steps of the wooden wall. Then, most of the Mongol soldiers suddenly piled up the wooden planks they were carrying, one platform after another. The last platform was even only one step away from the wooden wall. The Mongol soldiers climbed onto the platform and used their spears to fiercely stab the Woniugang swordsmen on the wooden wall platform.
Liu Lang had no way to use the hot oil anymore. If it were ignited at such close range, the main village of Woniugang would be finished. However, the Mongol soldiers were too close. They were only a step away. The wooden wall and the Mongol soldiers' wooden platform were only half a meter apart in height. With a jump, they could grab the wooden wall with both hands and climb up. At this moment, the difference in ability between individual soldiers became apparent again.
The swordsmen at Woniugang fought a difficult battle. Despite having a platform to move from and a height advantage, they could only manage a draw against the Mongol soldiers on the wooden platform. It's important to understand that the Mongol soldiers on the makeshift wooden platform couldn't move freely; they had to keep their feet firmly planted on the ground to maintain their balance. The platform, made of dozens of huge wooden planks, was extremely unstable and in danger of collapsing at any moment.
A draw means there is a risk of defeat. The Mongol army has only sent up 3,000 men so far, and there are still more than 20,000 who have not made a move. Liu Lang only has less than 10,000 men under his command, and the number of those who can fight is constantly decreasing. The only thing that makes Liu Lang feel gratified is that the swordsmen of Woniugang are really fighting desperately this time.
At such close range, even the Mongol soldiers who hadn't yet reached the platform began to retaliate against the Woniugang swordsmen on the wooden wall with their double-headed forks. As soon as they saw a figure on the wooden wall, the Mongol soldiers would release their double-headed forks, instantly piercing through a Woniugang swordsman, who would fall to the wooden wall platform. More Woniugang swordsmen were also stabbed and killed in the mutual stabbing with the Mongol soldiers! The wounded and the dead were constantly being carried down.
All of Wudi's thousand men had already pressed forward, and Xixi's three hundred men had also gone up to the wooden platform and arrow tower. Liulang only had the four young ladies' two thousand men left.
"boom!"
The five enormous catapults finally began to unleash their power again. Reassembling the catapults was extremely time-consuming, but if anything went wrong, they would fall apart during launch. Therefore, the craftsmen checked and checked them repeatedly until they were finally ready to be used. And it was at this moment that another three thousand Mongol soldiers charged up carrying huge wooden planks.
This wave of Mongol soldiers was not as lucky as the first wave. This time, the main attack of the Mongol soldiers was directly in front of the main stronghold of Woniugang. All two thousand Mongol soldiers were concentrated in front, while the other one thousand were scattered in three other directions. Liu Lang ordered all catapults to be aimed at the two thousand bandits. After a round of volleys, two stone projectiles missed and hit the wooden houses, smashing them to pieces. The other projectiles hit their targets, smashing at least a hundred Mongol soldiers, shields and all, to pieces.
The catapults launched six times in total. The Mongol soldiers, who had lost nearly three hundred men, finally rushed to within a hundred paces. At this distance, the catapults could no longer fire, otherwise they would injure their own men on the wooden wall. Seeing the Mongol soldiers still resting on the outer wooden wall in the distance, Liu Lang immediately ordered all the catapults to adjust their targets and concentrate their firepower on the Mongol soldiers on the outer wooden wall. They should bombard wherever there were more people!
At a distance of a hundred paces, the Mongol soldiers, who had initially breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly noticed that their comrades were falling one after another, all wounded by arrows in the side. Moreover, more and more people were falling, and the arrows shot from the front were being blocked by wooden planks. Where were the arrows coming from? Some even thought they were arrows that could curve, shot by the enemy in front. This terrified the Mongol soldiers, and almost every step they took resulted in a comrade being wounded by an arrow in the side.
"Watch out! There's someone inside the stone house!"
People kept getting hit by arrows, but this also revealed the location of the knife-wielders inside the bunker. Several sharp-eyed Mongol soldiers immediately spotted figures moving in the narrow window of the stone house. The arrows were being shot from inside the stone house. Mongol soldiers from other directions soon discovered that there were hidden enemies in the stone houses near them.
"Be careful, everyone. Send a team up and wipe out those rats hiding in the stone house!"
Half of the arrows fired from inside the stone houses were crossbow bolts, and the other half were bow arrows, causing heavy casualties to the Mongol soldiers whose flanks were unprotected. The total loss from all four directions exceeded a thousand men. The Mongol soldiers immediately split up and sent a portion of their troops to attack the stone houses. Almost every stone house had twenty Mongol soldiers rushing up to it, using wooden shields to protect their bodies, and slowly approaching the stone houses.
The more Mongol soldiers arrived, the less pressure there became. The swordsmen inside the bunker were skilled with arrows and axes and had undergone special training. Before the twenty Mongol soldiers even got close to the stone house, six of them had already been killed. However, there were only an average of ten swordsmen in each house. Seeing the enemy getting so close, half of the swordsmen immediately switched to long spears, threw away their wooden shields, and also raised their long spears to stab at the Mongol soldiers in the narrow window.
Inside the stone house, it was easy to thrust a spear from the inside to the outside, but it was much more difficult to thrust it straight in from the outside. Moreover, the Mongol soldiers had to run faster and were unsteady. Half of the Mongol soldiers' spears slid away through the narrow windows, and those that did manage to thrust inside were either dodged or blocked because of the slow speed.
The spears weren't fatal; the spears thrusting outwards from inside the stone house only wounded one or two Mongol soldiers. The most deadly attacks came from the crossbows in the hands of the other five men. Without the protection of shields, the Mongol soldiers, with the main gate wide open, were shot in the heart by crossbow bolts, almost one arrow per soldier. The remaining Mongol soldiers were at a loss for what to do. They rammed the stone house door but couldn't break it open; it felt like there was only an earthen wall inside.
Liu Lang was calculating the gains and losses. He still had a reserve force of 2,500 men. Now all the swordsmen in the stone house had emerged and were constantly killing the enemy, but the Mongol soldiers' attack on the main camp showed no signs of abating.
Unable to breach the stone house, the archers on the main stockade of Woniugang also focused their attacks on the Mongol soldiers besieging the stone house. After dozens more fell, the remaining Mongol soldiers all retreated.
Seeing their attack stalled, the Mongol commander, in a frenzy, pushed all his men forward. Driven by his lieutenants, the Mongol soldiers, shields raised, gritted their teeth and advanced. They faced not only arrows shooting from the stone house but also from the main camp at Woniugang. People fell one after another, one after another, but in the end, the Mongol soldiers still reached the edge of the stone house, firmly pressing their large shields against the narrow window. They then brought in other miscellaneous items, especially firewood, and piled them up.
All the windows were boarded up. The swordsmen tried to push them open with their spears, but failed several times. Pushing the boards with their hands was also useless, as the outside was completely blocked. After a while, they heard the crackling sound of burning firewood. The swordsmen immediately led their men to lift the stone slabs of the cave, one after another, and then closed the slabs up tightly.
The Mongol soldiers were finally set ablaze by the outer perimeter of the stone house. However, Liu Lang did not witness this. When the third wave of attacks began to besiege the stone house, Liu Lang had already led his men to the gate. Beside him were the Fourth Miss, the Blue-Eyed Fox Xi Xi, and more than two thousand newly joined swordsmen brothers!
To cover Liu Lang and his men, Wudi organized three javelin throws from the city wall. Nearly five hundred javelins were thrown in three separate throws, and the ground in front of the gate was covered with javelins. The Mongol soldiers who were fiercely attacking the main gate suffered heavy casualties, with more than five hundred dead or wounded. But this was only the beginning of their disaster!
The Mongol soldiers who kept ramming the main gate of Woniugang were excited because so many of them had died. After ramming it hundreds of times, the main gate of Woniugang was finally loosened. Just as the Mongol soldiers continued to violently ram the gate with logs, hitting it hard again and taking a few steps back, the main gate of Woniugang suddenly opened. But before the Mongol soldiers could cheer, a dense rain of gunfire came down, and all the Mongol soldiers at the front of the gate fell down.
One hundred men fired javelins in unison, then immediately dispersed to both sides. Behind them, another hundred men fired javelins in unison, then dispersed again. The javelins were thrown farther and farther each time, and more and more Mongol soldiers fell each time. The nearby Mongol soldiers all thought that their comrades had broken down the gate and that the people of Woniugang were struggling in their death throes. Therefore, they threw away their cumbersome shields and gathered more and more Mongol soldiers to rush into the village, but the number of javelins thrown from the gate did not decrease at all.
Eight javelin throws extended from the gate to the farthest point the javelins could reach. The ground was littered with javelins, wounded soldiers, and corpses. There were almost no Mongol soldiers left standing in front of the gate. At this point, the Fourth Miss could no longer hold back. She shouted and was the first to rush out of the gate. Turning to the right, she knocked away two Mongol soldiers who rushed at her with two heavy sword strikes.
Liu Lang also rushed out, with the green-eyed fox Xi Xi wielding two swords beside him. As soon as the two rushed out of the gate, they turned to the left, and then more than two thousand swordsmen from the village also rushed out. Their goal was to clear out the main gate of Woniugang Village, the most stressful place, and cut down all the Mongol soldiers they saw.
The Mongol soldiers near the main gate were not actually scattered. They were all centered around their respective wooden fortifications, with about a dozen Mongol soldiers on each fortification. Those who had nothing to do had all rushed to the main gate at the call of others and were mostly killed by javelins. The Mongol soldiers who continued to fight near the wooden fortifications and on the fortifications were unaware of the actual situation at the gate. Their attention was entirely focused on the swordsmen from Woniugang Village who were fighting them with swords. By the time Liu Lang and his men rushed over, it was too late!
The first to be attacked were the Mongol soldiers who were using their bodies to maintain the stability of the wooden fortress near the platform. These Mongol soldiers usually used their bodies to stay close to the fortress to maintain its balance. There were two soldiers in each direction. Liu Lang and Xi Xi easily cut down the two bandits in front of them from behind with one sword each. Before the other two directions could react, the swordsmen behind them rushed forward and cut down the soldiers in three directions with several swords. Liu Lang turned to the side and slammed into the wooden fortress in front of him. Then he pushed it hard two or three times. The entire wooden fortress collapsed completely. The Mongol soldiers on the platform fell down directly. The collapsed wooden fortress also hit the Mongol soldiers in the last direction.
One wooden fortress after another fell. Liu Lang and Xi Xi each led half their men, charging towards the rear from different directions along the wooden wall. The meeting point was at the junction of the two groups. Although the Mongol soldiers on the outer edge of the wooden wall were numerous, most of them were scattered in small squads and busy dealing with the swordsmen of Woniugang on the wooden wall platform. They could not notice the changes in other directions. By the time Liu Lang and his men charged over, they were suddenly at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. A huge wave swept over them, and in the end, nothing was left.
The Mongol soldiers near the wooden wall began to collapse. All one thousand Mongol soldiers were concentrated at the front, burning the stone houses with all their might. Some Mongol soldiers saw the change at the gate, but Liu Lang and his men quickly turned and rushed to the back. The gate was also immediately closed. Several senior generals couldn't react in time because they still had a few stone houses to deal with. When they led their men to give chase, they were met with a rain of arrows. Nearly three hundred people from the main gate tower, the wooden wall platform, the arrow tower, and the highest point of the main camp all concentrated their crossbows on the Mongol soldiers.
Invincible jumped onto the wooden wall and shouted.
"Listen up, everyone! We're about to win! The Mongol soldiers have all fled. Now, only this small group of Mongol soldiers is still putting up a fight. Among them are several officers and soldiers. It's these bastards who prevent us from living peacefully, getting married, having children, and living a quiet life. Once we kill those bastards, we'll win. Brothers, it's time to avenge you! Let's all work together, cut down these bastards, and we'll be free!"
The gates of Woniugang opened again. Apart from those who stayed behind to continue shooting at the Mongol soldiers, Wudi led more than three thousand capable men out in an orderly fashion. Seeing the panicked Mongol soldiers, Liulang knew it was time to end this battle!
