Soon, Zhao Fu led the Iron Arm Army to rush through the first wave of arrows of the defenders of the Western Wall and successfully arrived at the wall of the West Gate.

"Suppress the preparation!" Zhao Fu ordered loudly.

The Iron Arm Army dismounted as soon as they arrived at the foot of Jiulian City, and then used the tall bodies of the horses as cover and began to reload their crossbow arrows. Their task was brief, to provide them with sufficient fire cover before the first squad selected by Zhao Fu broke through the city walls.

The Iron Arm Army is not a cavalry, so they are even better at suppressing firepower than the condescending defenders of Jiulian City.

At this time, the personal qualities of the soldiers of the army were greatly reflected, and the accuracy of the iron arm army was far more accurate than the defenders on the city walls. Just a variety of projectile crossbow arrows can successfully hit the defenders hiding behind the battlements, and the archers who suppressed the city for a while could not find the gap for accurate aiming, and could only suppress it by projectile.

As the saying goes, wars depend on weapons, and wars depend on money, and the equipment of the Iron Arm Army has completely proved this to the world at this moment. The Iron Arm Army, even the war horses, were dressed in a special layer of light armor to ensure that their mobility was no different from that of ordinary light cavalry, but it was this layer of light armor that gave them an advantage in the confrontation with the defenders on the city walls.

Relying on the war horse as the first barrier, the Iron Arm Army did not have to worry about the rain of arrows pouring down in a short period of time, and the light armor, inner armor, and hand shield tied to their arms to protect their heads became their second barrier against the rain of arrows. Not to mention that there are special shield soldiers who set up a temporary spliced giant shield, this wooden giant shield is not large on each side, and each Iron Arm Army soldier is equipped with two sides, but after splicing, it is a huge barrier. Not to mention that there is a special bayonet on the edge of this giant shield, which can be used as a stabilizing device for crossbow bolt firing.

It can be said that this is the suppression of equipment, although they are all cold weapons, but the degree of subtlety is no longer the same grade of equipment, and there is a huge gap at this moment.

The slightest mistake in the war could change the course of the war, not to mention that the defenders of Jiulian City were facing brand-new equipment that they had never seen before, paired with a new style of play that was ingeniously coordinated.

The defeat of the defenders of Jiulian City was inevitable.

"First Squad!"

As Zhao Fu shouted, soon a soldier moved the freshly assembled ladder out of the battle array assembled by the Iron Arm Army under the city. One after another ladders leaned against the city walls, and soon, the war entered the next white-hot stage, which was the battle for this ladder.

The defenders of Jiulian City knew very well that they could not let these well-trained soldiers under the city enter the western city wall through the ladder, otherwise not only would the western city wall fall quickly, but even the frontal battlefield would be greatly affected.

The rain of arrows became less and less in a moment, and many archers began to lay down their crossbow arrows to assist the other defenders in sabotaging the siege of the Iron Arm. But the Iron Arm Army under the city would not stop their arrows from pouring out, and the defenders of Jiulian City suffered heavy losses again in this regard.

"Follow me." Zhao Fu shouted, and then he moved first.

Zhao Fu's speed was very fast, in fact, he only needed a few clicks to jump onto the city wall after having borrowed power. Just when the defenders of Jiulian City were still hurriedly transporting rolling wood and boiling golden soup, Zhao Fu had already broken through the city wall alone.

The defenders of Jiulian City did not expect that the enemy would come so quickly, even if they had heard all kinds of legends about Zhao Fu, but they never thought that someone from the besieging side could not climb up the ladder, but jump directly onto the city.

The appearance of Zhao Fu once again disrupted the position of the defenders of the western city wall, whose defensive strength was slightly weak, and then Zhao Fu successfully used his force to prove what is a famous general in the world.

Zhao Fu was the first to complete the breakthrough and clear the field, although the defenders on the city wall wanted to drive Zhao Fu down, but Zhao Fu and the knife in his hand were like a hurricane, and no one could get close. On the contrary, this hurricane is getting bigger and bigger, and Zhao Fu alone controls more and more territory on the city wall. All the enemies who tried to get close to Zhao Fu were all lying peacefully at Zhao Fu's feet—all of them were killed with one blow, and there was no unnecessary pain.

This small section of the city wall was cleared by Zhao Fu, and no one could get close to Zhao Fu.

Except for the soldiers of the Iron Arm Army who kept climbing the city wall behind Zhao Fu.

After Zhao Fu saw that this section of the city wall was firmly in his hands, he ignited a green signal flare, signaling that the Iron Arm Army still waiting under the city could break through this section of the city wall.

As Zhao Fu successfully mastered a small section of the city wall, most of the defenders of the western city wall were attracted by Zhao Fu, but it was only a moment's effort, and green signal flares were sent out on the other sections of the city wall one after another.

At this point, with the sweep of Zhao Fu and others, there is no suspense about the ownership of the west city wall.

Soon more than 1,000 soldiers of the Iron Arm Army climbed the city wall, although there were only 1,000 men, but it was enough for what to do next. The Iron Arm Corps under the city would be responsible for bringing their horses and equipment that could not be brought up the walls back to their temporary command posts in the rear.

Of course, the Iron Arm Army under the city can not withdraw immediately, they still have to pay attention to the battle situation on the city wall at any time, if the Iron Arm Army on the city wall encounters obstacles, there will be two red signal flares, and at this time, the Iron Arm Army under the city will immediately rush to reinforcements, or even assist in retreating.

At the same time, they also had the responsibility of guarding the enemy positions that had broken through, and with the vanguard of the Iron Arm Army of more than 1,000 people ascending the western city wall, and those newly recruited 10,000 people who could not fight a tough battle were also organized to start from the gap opened by Zhao Fu and others. Although they may not fight next, it can also be regarded as training. These people were all selected by Zhao Fu from the city defense army in the fifty-two cities he had captured before and the young people who had carried out simple military service, even if it was just climbing the city wall, it would be an important experience for them, not to mention that they could also earn a little military merit by the way.

Zhao Fu is a general who is very good at giving benefits to his subordinates, although the current reward giver has changed from Lin Haoyan to himself, but Zhao Fu also knows that no matter how poor and hard he is, he can't suffer the army, which is his capital to live in troubled times. No matter how painful it is, you still can't be stingy when it's time to be rewarded.

There was no need for Zhao Fu to give any additional orders, and those in the Iron Arm Army who were injured and could no longer fight, and those who were slightly injured and whose combat strength was damaged spontaneously waited for friendly reinforcements on the city wall, and some of the slightly injured did not force themselves to continue fighting, but guided the next friendly troops to the city.
