"What, what do we do??"
Many soldiers of the Arab Empire were trembling, not knowing what to do, and felt that death was imminent.
Many of them had lost their minds and had no idea what they should do.
Fortunately, a few among them managed to remain somewhat clear-headed.
They looked at Lin Tian's city walls and calculated the distance between them and Lin Tian's walls.
However, after calculating for a long time, they realized that although the distance was not far, it had become an insurmountable one.
So, they directly gave up the plan to continue the siege.
Instead, they shifted their gaze to the vicinity of their own soldiers.
They saw that although there were no soldiers near the siege engines and siege towers,
there were still many soldiers gathered a little further out.
The gathering of those soldiers gave the soldiers on the siege engines a glimmer of hope.
One soldier excitedly pointed towards the gathering soldiers and said:
"Let's go there, we'll jump there, and we'll definitely survive!!"
As soon as this was said, many eyes turned to where the soldier pointed.
After just a glance, they hesitated.
The distance to that place was not too far, and they could still jump to that position.
However, there were a large number of soldiers there, and if they jumped, they might crush other soldiers.
So, they felt that perhaps they shouldn't jump there, as they might kill others if they did.
These soldiers who didn't want to jump still had a bit of conscience, not wanting to harm others.
However, just because they didn't want to jump didn't mean others didn't.
The soldier who pointed at that spot, after saying they could jump there, didn't hesitate at all and directly leaped into the crowd.
"Boom!"
The moment he landed, he crushed two soldiers of the Arab Empire to death on the spot.
But because those two soldiers of the Arab Empire served as human shields, he miraculously survived the fall from the tall siege tower.
And his maneuver made many eyes light up.
If one could save their own life, who would care about the lives of others?
So, they also jumped towards the crowded area without hesitation.
And most of them were lucky.
After jumping, they were indeed caught, and although a few people were crushed, they were very fortunate to survive.
Only one unlucky fellow landed on a long sword and died on the spot.
At the time of his death, he also implicated others.
This situation immediately drew the attention of the soldiers below to the situation on the siege engines and siege towers.
When they saw a large number of soldiers standing at the edge, preparing to jump down, many of them were terrified.
If so many people jumped down, many of them would surely die.
So, many of them let out exclamations:
"Scatter, scatter quickly, don't get crushed by them!!"
"Don't get close, don't get close, they're about to jump down!!"
"Retreat, retreat quickly, if they jump down, many of us will die!!"
As these words were spoken, a large number of soldiers began to scatter and retreat.
Their scattering and retreating was naturally to save their own lives.
However, they forgot one thing: they forgot that they were currently laying siege!
Under such circumstances, if they scattered and retreated, what siege would there be?
The Great Emperor of the Arab Empire in the rear was further infuriated.
"What is going on? What is happening to them? Why aren't they continuing the siege? What are they doing??"
"Your Majesty, our soldiers, our soldiers seem to have fallen into chaos. They don't know how to lay siege!"
"Useless, such a bunch of useless people! What use are these useless people to me if they can't even lay siege properly!"
The Great Emperor of the Arab Empire had prepared for this siege for a long time.
Under such circumstances, not a single one of their soldiers managed to storm the city walls, which was truly unbearable for him.
If he could, he wished he could transform into those soldiers and charge forward himself.
But he also saw that their siege engines and siege towers had not reached the distance required to attack Lin Tian's city.
In fact, their siege engines and siege towers had already been destroyed and were about to be burned.
Their army was even engaging in friendly fire, a situation that made the Great Emperor of the Arab Empire lose face.
If this were not the last of their Arab Empire's soldiers, he might have had a large number of soldiers executed to boost military morale.
Then, he shifted his gaze to another location.
That other location was the city gate defended by Lin Tian.
There were no large siege engines or siege towers at the city gate, nor any additional siege equipment.
Because of this, there were no flames, no wails, only the incessant battering of the city gate.
"Ram! Ram with all your might!!"
"Work harder, everyone, work harder! Their city gate is about to open!!"
"Break open their city gate, we must break open their city gate!!"
These soldiers of the Arab Empire knew that this was their last chance.
After all, the soldiers attacking the city walls had already descended into chaos.
If they failed here, then their Arab Empire's siege would truly end in failure.
Therefore, many of them rammed the city gate with great effort.
They even used their own bodies to directly ram the city gate.
The impact of one person might not amount to much for a city gate.
But when ten, dozens of people rammed the city gate together, it was completely different.
The powerful impact made the city gate shake precariously.
It also gave the soldiers of the Arab Empire a glimmer of hope for victory.
"Harder, everyone together!!"
Amidst these shouts, the city gate of the city defended by Lin Tian's army was finally broken open.
After it was broken open, they became extremely excited.
"Hahaha! The gate is open, their city gate is open!!"
"We have breached their city gate, we have broken open their city gate!!"
"Charge! Victory belongs to us!!"
After breaking open the city gate, they felt that victory was already theirs.
Therefore, they shouted with extreme excitement.
At this moment, it was as if they had achieved victory.
However, they did not know that after they broke open the city gate, the real battle was just beginning.
Behind the city gate, a large number of soldiers awaited them.
These soldiers were all holding Molotov cocktails, waiting for the soldiers of the Arab Empire to arrive.
This scene was also extremely familiar to the soldiers of the Arab Empire.
