"Put!!" It wasn't until the siege tower crossed the boundary of 400 meters that Chen Jingxuan finally waved down his right arm, which had been raised for a long time, and gave the order to counterattack with a loud cry in his mouth.

The defenders who had been unilaterally suppressed and attacked by the Feng family army for nearly two hours had already been full of anger in their hearts, and they had to bend down with their shields all the time because they couldn't reach it at all.

After receiving the order, the defenders who had been prepared for a long time quickly fired out a volley of crossbow arrows that had been prepared for nearly a quarter of an hour, all of which flew towards the three behemoths in front of them. For a time, the "jumping" crossbow string rebound sound at the head of the city and the "whoosh" sound of the crossbow arrow firing out of the air, the defenders who were holding back a grievance were particularly nimble at this time, and could no longer care about the rain of stones that still kept falling overhead, after a crossbow arrow was shot, the second crossbow arrow would definitely be stuck in the arrow groove within two seconds, and the soldiers who turned the winch were also extraordinarily forced, and it only took two-thirds of the usual time to pull the crossbow string to the extreme, and then it would be launched within two seconds. Overall, it used to take fifteen to twenty seconds to fire a crossbow arrow, but now it only takes a little more than ten seconds, which is simply all the strength, and it also brings the daily operation training to an unprecedented extreme.

The fierce counterattack at the head of the city slowed down the speed of the siege tower car in front of the city a lot, dozens of ballista cars at the head of the city, at the same time can hit dozens of special crossbow arrows into the siege tower, plus its speed is extremely fast, the force of the forward rush is fierce, even the siege tower with iron walls has been greatly hindered, and it is extremely important that some crossbow arrows will attack from the side to the members of the death squad hiding on both sides of the siege tower or behind it.

At a distance of more than 300 meters, let alone a member of the death squad wearing light armor at this time, even if he was carrying more than 100 pounds of heavy armor, he would be directly penetrated by the crossbow arrow, nailed to the ground behind him, and then died miserably.

In less than three minutes, more than a dozen members of the death squad who were outside the body were shot and killed, and their bodies were pierced and nailed to the ground by half-zhang long crossbow arrows, and they would struggle and flutter a few times on all fours if they were not completely dead, but the wails in their mouths would also increase, and then they had no strength, and their bodies slowly slid to the ground along the shafts of crossbow arrows, completely dead.

Looking at the more than ten members of the death squad who died behind the siege tower, Lin Feng in the rear camp was also moved, and even subconsciously kicked twice, urging the horse to take a few steps forward, and then realized his gaffe, slowly released the palm holding the reins, frowned and thought for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Li Xiaofeng, who had been staring at him waiting for orders, and shouted: "Press up!" ”

Li Xiaofeng, who got the order, immediately pulled the reins to straighten the horse's head, waved the command flag in his hand forward, and shouted violently: "Cloud echelon, up!" ”

"Knock knock knock!!" With the footsteps of hundreds of soldiers carrying cloud ladders, the sound of war drums rose to a height again, and the heavy drums went straight to the clouds, as if even the clouds in the sky were shaken, and the fierce and violent drums seemed to pierce and break the sky overhead, until a big hole was pierced, and the fierceness on the ground was also rushed out of this oppressive sky.

The speed of the cloud echelon was not fast, and they stepped on the drum beat from the rear camp and walked forward without hurry. The ladder soldiers on both sides of the ladder each held a small round shield, and tried to protect their heads and chests from accidents.

With the addition of the cloud echelon, the ballista at the head of the city naturally did not dare to concentrate all the firepower on the body of the two siege towers, and when the cloud echelon advanced to more than 600 meters, some of the ballista at the head of the city turned around, and the crossbow arrows with infinite murderous aura were switched to the target.

In the face of the crossbow arrows that were whizzing and could kill them at any time, the ladder soldiers in front of them turned a blind eye and seemed to have not seen them at all, and still maintained a neat pace and continued to move forward.

But bravery does not mean invincible, there are still people from time to time who are shot by crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows that are not reduced will bring the recruits to the rear for a few meters or even more than ten meters before they can land, and those soldiers who are unfortunate enough to be shot by the arrow are also inevitably killed, but at the last moment, try to avoid shouting out of their own voices, and avoid their pain from infecting their robes, so as not to distract them and affect the offensive rhythm of the whole army.

"Aren't these people afraid of death?!" Chen Jingxuan glared viciously at the Feng family army who kept falling to the ground and couldn't get up again, and gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth.

"General Wang! Is this Zhongwu Marquis crazy? Why do you want to let the cloud echelon come forward at this time?! A general watching the battle at the head of the city looked at the Yun Echelon soldiers of the Feng family army who were suffering casualties under the city, and frowned and said his question to General Wang beside him.

"He's covering for the siege towers!! Siege towers are the point! General Wang clenched his fists and squeezed a sentence from between his teeth in response.

"In that case, then we should concentrate our firepower!" The general who had just asked looked at the siege tower carts, which had not suffered any casualties since the ladder soldiers joined, rolled his eyes, and whispered a suggestion.

"Stupid! In that case, the Ladder Soldiers will appear in front of you immediately! General Wang, who was already full of anger, couldn't help but jump to his feet and curse after hearing this, and angrily pointed to the offensive under the city and shouted: "How can I not know! But once the ladder soldiers arrive at the city, even the city walls may not be protected!! Archers ready!! Once the cloud echelon enters the range of two hundred and fifty meters, it will be suppressed immediately! ”

Facing the suddenly angry General Wang, the general just now also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and nodded his head in a hurry: "Yes, yes!" The last will be dull! For a moment, I couldn't see the cunning of the enemy army! ”

General Wang didn't answer, after taking a deep breath, he slowly waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and then turned around and continued to lead the guards to start patrolling and arranging the defense, so as not to regret a mistake in the future.

At this time, the trebuchet also gradually slowed down the offensive, not because of anything else, but because of the lack of ammunition, and had to slow down the offensive before the siege tower arrived to slowly suppress the defenders at the head of the city, so as not to run out of ammunition, the defenders at the head of the city could devote themselves to the counterattack without any worries.

Looking at the cloud echelon that had already killed and injured hundreds of people before they arrived at the city, Lin Feng's brows tightened, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing, but when he saw the siege tower that was approaching the city wall step by step, his frowning brows would stretch slightly. Although the casualties of their own side were much greater than they were just now, the members of the death squad guarding the back of the siege tower were different from ordinary soldiers, and even the elite soldiers were inferior to them.

Each member of these death squads volunteered to go to the front line, demanding to climb the siege tower and launch a storm on the city's head. Although the first soldier to attack the city in every siege received the greatest reward, there were very few people who were the first to attack the city and survived the battle. Even if it is a big reward, on the premise of paying the price of life, it is still not very tempting.

Moreover, these hundreds of death squad members are not just voluntary, but also have to be screened from them, and finally select a group of elite people with agility and exquisite martial arts. Otherwise, even if he goes up, he will be sent to death, and the Feng family army will pay a lot of money for this.

Therefore, every member of these death squads is crucial to this battle, and Lin Feng is only sacrificing those more ordinary cloud ladder soldiers in a relatively comparative situation to protect this death squad that will not be exchanged.
