Chapter 313 We must ask the Martial God for help.
The walls of Tikal were lined with Naga warriors, ready for battle.
Princess Chu Chu and Prince Chen Feng also walked onto the city wall.
Two thousand White Demon warriors on horseback and four thousand rebels on alpacas lined up in formation outside the city.
A general stepped out from the rebel ranks and shouted loudly towards the city wall, "Let Prince Ruilin come out and speak."
Chenfeng asked Princess Chuchu, "Sister, what do you mean?"
Princess Chuchu said, "There's nothing to say to traitors and enemies. Just prepare for battle and ignore whatever they say."
Seeing no response from the city walls, the rebel general rode his alpaca to the White Demon general and said, "General Pierce, no one has come out to answer."
The two people standing on the city wall are the empire's first princess and Prince Morning Breeze.
Tikal is probably no longer under Prince Ruilin's control.
Pierce, with his blond curly hair, fair skin, and blue eyes, cursed as he looked at the princess and her brother on the city wall.
"Useless Ruilin, his power has been usurped by two children."
The original plan was to lead the army from Tikal to conquer the next city, but now it seems we'll have to occupy Tikal first.
"Let's rest where we are and wait for the siege team to arrive before we begin the assault."
The rebel general and General Pierce's lieutenant ordered the entire army to rest in place.
A general on the city wall saw that the enemy neither attacked the city nor retreated, and he did not know how to deal with it.
"Your Highness, the enemy is refusing to leave. Should we take the initiative and launch an attack?"
Princess Chuchu looked at the ten cannons and the matchlock guns in the White Demon Clan's army, and a look of fear appeared in her eyes.
"Don't be fooled by the small number of enemies; their weapons are extremely sophisticated."
We won't gain anything by rushing out.
We can only rely on fortified cities for defense; let's use this time to prepare for our defense.
"My subordinate understands!"
Wang Zichenfeng said, "The enemy won't stop for no reason; they are likely waiting for reinforcements."
"Why not ask the God of War to intervene before the enemy reinforcements arrive?"
Princess Chuchu shook her head. "We can't always ask the God of War for help. He'll have to leave sooner or later."
We have 100,000 elite warriors and such a fortified city; no matter how powerful the White Demons are, they won't be able to breach our defenses.
Archers stood on the city walls and fired arrows downwards, with a range even greater than that of arquebuses.
They will gain absolutely no advantage if they attack the city.
An hour later, the enemy's reinforcements arrived.
Two thousand more White Demon warriors and six thousand rebels arrived.
The procession consisted of forty carriages, each carrying a cannon.
Behind the carriage was an extra-long carriage, carrying a huge battering ram, which was specifically designed to ram city gates.
There were also two hundred heavily armored warriors surrounding Gongcheng Hammer.
When the White Demon general Pierce saw the reinforcements arrive, he laughed and said, "They've come pretty quickly. Looks like I'll be able to sleep with that family's princess tonight."
The rebel general quickly offered his congratulations, "Then I congratulate General Pierce first. Her Highness the Princess is the most beautiful jewel of that empire."
Pierce laughed heartily, "Hahaha, let's begin the siege."
"Let these primitive people witness the power of the cannons of my Western Empire!"
Large cannons pulled by horse-drawn carriages and small cannons carried by people were lined up in a row. After advancing a certain distance, they began to load gunpowder and cannonballs.
When Prince Chenfeng saw that the enemy was about to fire cannons beyond the archers' range, he immediately shouted, "Everyone hide! The enemy's cannons can hit the city walls!"
Many Naga soldiers had never seen White Demon firearms before, and their faces showed blankness, but they could only obey their commander's orders.
Everyone hid behind the city wall.
Princess Chuchu's personal guards tried to pull her away from the city wall, but she shook them off, saying, "Today I will fight alongside the Naga warriors. I will not leave the city wall until the enemy is defeated."
The princess's words had an inspiring effect, boosting the morale of the Naga warriors.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The enemy's artillery opened fire one after another.
The cannonballs hit the city walls and exploded into a burst of fire, or flew over the city walls and into the city.
Fortunately, the people on this side of the city wall had already been evacuated.
However, the shells exploded upon landing, easily destroying buildings in the city and causing fires to spread throughout the city.
The city walls shook as if an earthquake had struck, and the Naga soldiers were so frightened that they lay prone on the ground, too afraid to raise their heads.
Occasionally, a cannonball would land precisely on the city wall, killing a group of soldiers.
Such a powerful weapon was nothing short of a miracle to the Naga people.
After the cannons finished firing a round, the heavily armored warriors pushed the battering ram toward the city gate.
Rebel soldiers and White Demon soldiers guarded the battering ram.
Upon seeing this, Prince Chenfeng immediately organized the archers to shoot arrows downwards.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a volley of arrows shot out, killing only a few dozen rebel soldiers and White Demon warriors.
The arrows struck the heavily armored warrior with a single clang, deflected by the thick armor.
Bang bang bang! As the people on the city wall entered the range of the Vulcan's guns, the White Demon warriors opened fire.
One round of shooting hit about a hundred people, who either fell to the ground or fell off the city wall.
The Naga warriors were terrified by these unfamiliar weapons, and many of them even put down their weapons and knelt on the city wall to pray.
The princess was extremely anxious when she first saw this, and she shouted loudly, "Get up and fight!"
The princess picked up a bow and arrow, drew the bowstring, and nocked it.
With a whoosh, an arrow imbued with internal force pierced through the helmet of a heavily armored warrior, killing him instantly.
Bang bang bang! The princess was immediately subjected to concentrated fire from arquebuses. She quickly crouched behind the city wall and moved to a new position.
Prince Chenfeng also shot and killed a heavily armored warrior.
Two people took the lead, and some exceptionally brave Naga warriors kept raising their heads and shooting arrows.
The enemy suffered hundreds of casualties, and their advance was halted.
White Demon general Pierce ordered his men to continue firing.
Boom! Another fierce barrage of artillery fire followed.
This time, the focus was on attacking the soldiers on the city wall, and the family warriors suffered two to three thousand casualties.
Fortunately, there were enough Naga warriors in the city, and people kept going up the city walls to replace the wounded warriors.
The siege lasted for half an hour, during which more than 10,000 Naga warriors were killed or wounded in the city.
The enemy's battering ram has moved to the area below the city gate.
Princess Chuchu gritted her teeth, drew her short sword Golden Wing, and stepped onto the city wall with one foot.
Wang Zichen shouted, "Sis, what are you doing?"
Princess Chuchu leaped down and, upon landing, killed a heavily armored warrior with a single sword strike.
She had to stop these people from breaking down the city gates.
Upon seeing this, Prince Chenfeng hurriedly ran towards the city. His sister's jump was almost certainly fatal, and he had to ask the Martial God to save her.
