Chapter 279 – White Eared Heavy Armor

White Eared Heavy Armor

The defenders on the walls were all feeling enthusiastic. They had all fought back the enemy assault and killed many. It was a very happy moment for these soldiers. They looked at the corpses accumulated below the city and felt that it does not matter even if they were outnumbered. Hao Shao’s army had fallen into a state of excitement and their morale had doubled. They thought of how Liu Mang would reward them after they fought back the enemy.

Wasn’t getting promoted and earning rewards the reason they left their homes to join the Liu Mang Army? At first they had a lot of complains following Hao Shao into this small city. Now, all of them had changed. They did not expect the small city to give them the opportunity for promotion.

The happiness of the soldiers were comparable to the faith that they could defeat the enemy. Hao Shao became calmer. Those from the Wolf Cavalry would notice that Hao Shao was feeling uneasy. The reason so many of the Liu Bei’s Army’s soldiers perished was because the enemy did not react. This was the first time they had seen this defensive method. They had gotten the enemy by surprise which is why they got this result. This would unlikely happen a second or third time.

Liu Bei was not easily dealt with. Otherwise, Liu Bei would not have managed to bring Cao Cao and chase out Lu Bu. Hao Shao does not want to face the shame of being chased out anymore. Liu Bei had chased Lu Bu out of Xuzhou and has plans for Yangzhou.

Besides that, chasing the enemy away would only make them angrier. They would react stronger and the counterattack would be more powerful. Against a siege with twenty thousand, the ones fighting at the would only become more ruthless. This was why Hao Shao did not dare to relax. However, he did not tell his troops and allowed them to be excited. They would be more courageous when they were excited.

“Come. Come on! Let this Hao Shao see if you have greater progress!” Hao Shao took a deep breath. He knew that it was impossible to defend against Liu Bei’s assault with just Guangzhou. However, Hao Shao wanted to stop Liu Bei here to buy time for Shouchun.

The drum starts to be beaten and Liu Bei’s Army started to move again.

“All units. Prepare for combat!” Hao Shao shouted. However, the soldiers had already begun to move and pick up their bows and aimed below the city before he could even shout.

But when they looked down, they were dumbfounded. To shoot or not to shoot? This was because there were no longer a swarm of soldiers below the city but rams.

Liu Pi had twenty thousand soldiers. Even after counting the casualties, they still had at least fifteen thousand soldiers. The firewood was collected by them and along with Pang Tong’s expertise, the rams were built quickly.

“Rams?” Hao Shao clenched his fist. He gazed at the huge vehicles. The rams were still siege weapons at that era. The impact of the rams could knock open the gates. As the gates were made of wood, it would not be able to stop the impact of the rams unless it was heavy and sturdy. Otherwise, it would not even last a few hits from the rams. Even the gates of Wan Cheng had been destroyed by rams.

If the moat was completed and there was a drawbridge, it would not have been so difficult. This is because it would be impossible for the drawbridge to be lowered unless the city was already having difficulty. Now, the ram
