Chapter 225: The Power of the Heavenly Absolute Legion

Most of the small catapults of the Mountain God Guild were exchanged for points, and a small number were captured by Gaoyou officers and soldiers, and the total number was not much. This time, in order to be able to defend the city wall, the Mountain God Guild moved all the catapults used to the city wall, hoping to use them to slow down the attack of the expeditionary force, so there was no catapult left in the city.

Now one of the problems faced by the Mountain God Guild is that when the east and south walls are in a bitter battle and the west wall has been lost, they want to recapture the city wall, and they have no mission siege weapons to use, so they can only rely on soldiers to climb the ladder to attack the city. The difference between the two is that the former attacks the walls from outside the city and the latter attacks the walls from inside the city if they want to recapture the walls.

However, Zang Ba had already been prepared, and after occupying most of the city walls, a large number of archer troops composed of a mixture of players and soldiers from Flying City stood on the city walls and shot at the city, and the Yellow Turban Army of the Mountain God Guild had to pay a huge price in casualties every time they took a step forward. Moreover, when this group of player soldiers was still in Hailing County, Zang Ba consciously trained them to comprehend basic archery, although the fifth-order soldiers who comprehended basic archery could only pull a first-level bow, but in this intensive defensive battle, every additional archer could cause casualties to several units on the other side.

The current situation on the three walls is that the expeditionary force on each wall has a force of 20,000 archers, and many players have picked up the equipment of the fallen Yellow Turban archers in order to get more points and experience, or they have a bow and arrows in their backpacks, which can be used at this time.

On the city wall, even if 10,000 archers fired a salvo, for the Yellow Turban Army with a relatively dense position, the hit rate could not be higher, not to mention that it was their turn to occupy the geographical advantage of the city wall, just shoot arrows wildly, and their experience and points increased rapidly.

After all, the Mountain God Guild used to be a second-rate guild, and the guild background is several grades worse than that of first-class guilds or super guilds. But when it comes to the real war, the overall gap brought about by this heritage gap is very obvious, there are not many life talents in the territory of the Mountain God Guild, and the shields, armor, bows and arrows and even weapons produced cannot meet the needs of two million people. After occupying the county for a short period of time, most of the Yellow Turban Army's weapon needs were gradually met, and the shields and bows and arrows were even less pitiful, and many of the Yellow Turban Army participating in the siege were charged with a plank.

When the county lieutenant of Gaoyou County saw that the county seat was difficult to resist the attack of the Mountain God Guild, he ordered the archers in the city not to be stingy with the bows and arrows in their hands, and to shoot arrows desperately to cause more casualties to the Yellow Turban Army, after all, the county seat of a court is very strong. Although the county lieutenant did not repair the two city walls, when he led the army to abandon the city and escape, in addition to the materials he could bring, the rest were burned, including the bows and arrows and weapons and equipment that the munitions depot was full of, so that the Mountain God Guild gained very little, but it was a pity that the food was not burned, otherwise the two million Yellow Turban Army would not even have enough to drink from the northwest wind.

Without the addition of these equipment, there are many problems even defending the city, and the number of archers in the Mountain God Guild is not large, and there are also not many arrows, so you must save some money. Even if Feitian City didn't lead this siege, giving a first-class guild to unite several small player forces, the siege might even be able to be attacked for a few days, and it would be difficult to defend the city without arrows.

And when it was the turn of the Mountain God Guild to attack the city wall, the lack of shields and armor also had a great impact, with the strength of the Yellow Turban Army of the fourth or fifth order, it was difficult to rush to the city with a ladder to charge, or a team of people carrying the ladder was shot half of them halfway, and the remaining half of the people slowed down, which was equivalent to becoming a live target, allowing people to eat meat.

After paying huge casualties, the Yellow Turban Army looked at the three-zhang high city wall, as if they had come to the scene when they attacked the county seat some time ago, the difference was that the city wall was not an officer and soldier, but a soldier from Feitian City. Although the main force of defense is the player soldiers, the soldiers of Flying City are resting in batches while the Yellow Turban Army's offensive is not fierce, and even high-level soldiers can't withstand the siege and fighting for a continuous morning. However, Zang Ba learned the lesson of the Mountain God Guild and replaced all the soldiers of the Steel Thorn Legion who participated in the siege of the city with other legionnaires who had not yet fought, after all, only some of the soldiers of the Steel Thorn Legion were on the field in the morning.

The Mountain God Guild had no choice, they also sent a sixth-order army of 20,000 people to choose to storm the city wall, at first it was a little effective, and once with the cooperation of the generals, they climbed the city wall. However, the player soldier is the main force to defend the city, it does not mean that the soldiers of Flying City do not make a move, in order to save physical strength, they are just on the side to assist in defending the city, but if they encounter the elite sent by the Mountain God Guild, the soldiers of Flying City will take action as soon as possible to defend the city in place of the player soldiers. Although the Mountain God Guild sent military generals to attack the city is effective, the military generals of Feitian City are not vegetarians, they each lead the soldiers of their own troops to be responsible for the defense of a small section of the city wall, or five hundred or two hundred, as long as they see the signs of ascending the city, they will shoot like thunder, and if they want to attack the city under the noses of the special generals and seventh- and eighth-order soldiers, it is simply a fool's dream.

Seeing that the eastern city wall has no hope of recapturing, and the situation of the southern city wall is similar, although there are fewer people besieging the city, it does not prevent them from occupying the city wall as a result, the blood wolf legion itself has 10,000 archers or crossbowmen, especially the crossbowmen, in the face of the opponent's siege process, they can shoot a large number of arrows in a short time, and the difficulty of attacking the city is not ordinary.

Now, it suddenly occurred to the head of the Mountain God Guild that there were only 50,000 people on the west wall, and compared to the 300,000 and 100,000 horses on the other two sides, 50,000 people seemed to be more difficult to defend the wall. Moreover, if the expeditionary force sends troops along the east and west to attack the north city wall, once all the city walls are taken, it is basically a turtle in the urn. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to let all three walls fall into the hands of the expeditionary force, and at worst it can only be two.

The head of the Mountain God Guild was at a loss, so he could only follow the advice of his subordinates, transfer troops to the west of the city to gather, and at the same time send the remaining 10,000 seventh-order soldiers and 30,000 sixth-order soldiers to recapture the city wall in one go.

The west city wall, which was originally breezy and cloudy, suddenly gathered a large army, and the two army commanders, Sun Ping and Chen Lang, thought that the Yellow Turban Army in the city was ready to abandon the city and fled, and no one came.

There was no extra nonsense, the Yellow Turban Army directly launched an attack, and unlike before, this time the chairman was very willing to send a sixth-order soldier to take the lead, followed by a seventh-order soldier, obviously not wanting to waste any more time.

"Sun Ping, you see, if this Yellow Turban Thief doesn't come, he sent a sixth-order soldier over, and the group of Yellow Turban Thieves behind him seems to be even stronger, it is estimated that it is a seventh-order soldier. It seems that they want to take advantage of us, but they don't weigh it. "Chen Lang and Sun Ping are both from the owners of the village, and they have a good relationship, and they usually call each other by their names.

"Hmph, this group of thieves will bully more and less, seeing that we only have 50,000 people here, I want to send elites to take this city wall first, General Zang and General Yuwen, it is estimated that the yellow turban thieves will gnaw hard bones, and they will not come to our side until they can't beat them." Sun Ping looked at the Yellow Turban Army below and said disdainfully.

"Also, 'after all' we only have 50,000 people here." Chen Lang smiled.

Sun Ping also smiled knowingly, when it comes to the number of people, they are indeed the smallest here in the west of the city, and they don't seem to be here to attack the city. But when it comes to combat effectiveness, they are not weak, after all, these 50,000 people are all from the main army of Flying City, and Zang Ba has only 50,000 soldiers from Flying City, and Yu Wenchao is even less, so that the Yellow Turban Army can't find the north?

In the Heavenly Absolute Legion, there are 5,000 eighth-order soldiers who are crossbowmen, and in addition to carrying quivers, they also have a dragon tongue bow and a crossbow, which can be determined according to the situation on the battlefield. Since the eighth-order soldiers can be equipped with full-body armor, it reflects that their physical fitness is not ordinarily good, and it is no problem to carry a few quivers, a bow and a crossbow on their backs, but it is very physically exhausting when using the dragon tongue bow.

The Mountain God Guild sent sixth-order soldiers, no matter how bad their guild background is, the equipment for the elite troops will not be left behind. A group of archers and shieldmen followed behind the swordmen and shieldmen, while twenty swordmen and shieldmen carried a ladder and were rapidly advancing towards the wall.

"The Heavenly Absolute Legion prepares, and the opponent shoots arrows together after entering the firing range. The crossbowmen are also ready, and when the archers and shieldmen of the opposing side are within range, they will follow my instructions before shooting. Sun Ping methodically commanded the archers.

"Come on, brothers, we also have to show our hands, we can't laugh at us for the big brothers with bows and arrows, and we must not give a yellow turban thief to climb the city wall, you know?" Chen Lang is also boosting morale.

On the city wall, even the Divine Arm Bow used by the seventh-order archers could reach a range of two hundred meters, and this time they chose a longer-range projectile instead of a point shot with a higher hit rate. A row of archers aimed at the advancing Yellow Turban Army, and after the Yellow Turban Army stepped into the range of the archers, tens of thousands of arrows poured out from the city wall, even if many of them were wearing chain mail, even if some of them had dodged with all their might, or thousands of people were shot and fell to the ground, even if they did not die, they would be trampled to death by the robes that followed behind.

Because of the trust in comrades-in-arms and the sword and shield soldiers led by Chen Lang, no Yellow Turban Army could climb the city wall to threaten them, 10,000 seventh-order archers and 5,000 eighth-order archers shot to their heart's content, and there was no unified order from Sun Ping to shoot arrows, which completely became a shooting competition. However, in order to prevent several archers from shooting an enemy at the same time, Sun Ping had instructed that the seventh-order archers were responsible for the Yellow Turban Army within 100 meters, and the eighth-order archers could be responsible for the Yellow Turban Army located between 100 meters and 200 meters because their accurate heads were higher than those of the Seventh Order.

So a very wonderful scene happened, after the sixth-order Yellow Turban Army carried the ladder into the range of two hundred meters, it was sniped by the eighth-order archers, and the pace of attack seemed to be dragged back. Although the Yellow Turbans under the city are moving targets, those who carry ladders can't always take an "S" shape, and in the eyes of archers, moving targets that walk in a straight line and have a similar speed are not much different from fixed targets.

Five thousand eighth-order archers, they specially picked the Yellow Turban Army carrying the ladder, because they couldn't escape the fate of being killed by one arrow with their shields, although they didn't have a 100% hit rate, at least sixty or seventy percent, that is, each eighth-order archer came down in one round, and the Mountain God Guild lost more than 3,000 sixth-order soldiers, and one-tenth was gone. At the same time, because it is a sixth-order soldier who carries a ladder, after a few people fall, they need the nearby sixth-order soldiers to help, otherwise they will all die before they come to the city, how can they attack the city without a ladder?

In this way, he fell into the pit under Sun Ping, and people kept falling, and people kept coming to the vicinity of the cloud ladder and became the prey of the eighth-order archers. And those sixth-order soldiers who did not carry the ladder, after entering the range of 100 meters, did not end up as miserable as those who carried the ladder, but even worse. In the Yellow Turban Army attacking the east and south walls, most of their opponents are player soldiers, with the accuracy of the players' basic archery skills, they can be twenty or thirty percent already laughed to death, it seems that there are many expeditionary forces on both sides, but in fact, the west is the most difficult to fight. Imagine that there are 10,000 snipers aiming at a high place, and even if many people on your side charge together, they are still worried about whether that arrow will fall on their heads.

Within 100 meters, except for some Yellow Turban soldiers who were in a very enchanting position, or holding shields, or extremely lucky, the others were really used as live targets, especially those who were close to the foot of the wall, basically one arrow at a time. In such a short distance, the fourth-level bow god arm bow has an extremely high hit rate, and some Yellow Turban soldiers can dodge the first year, but they can't dodge fifteen, and they are immediately made up by other archers.

The Mountain God Guild would definitely not be beaten passively, and they also wanted to send their own archers to inflict casualties on the defenders, and under the cover of a team of shield soldiers, the Yellow Turban Archers quickly came to a distance of two hundred meters, as long as they were close to sixty or seventy meters, they could almost threaten the expeditionary force in the city. However, in Sun Ping's opinion, their small actions did not mean anything, after all, the five thousand official crossbowmen had already put their crossbows on the strings and were waiting for the Yellow Turban archers to come and be beaten.

"The truth doesn't know how thick the sky is."

Sun Ping sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the first batch of three thousand crossbowmen pulled the trigger together, and the arrows with a destructive aura directly pierced the shield in the hands of the shield soldiers, and most of the arrows sank into the body of the Yellow Turban Army, and the whole person was affected by this impact and crashed into the Yellow Turban Archer behind him. Although the quality of these shields is not as good as the shields produced by Flying City for heavy shield soldiers, they are coated with a layer of iron on the outside, and ordinary arrows can't even shoot through shields. And the arrows shot by the crossbow were like the crossbow arrows shot by a tiny version of the ballista, and even the shield soldiers were vulnerable in front of him, and those archers who did not have any armor even pierced two arrows with one arrow, and nearly two thousand people died under the first shot of the crossbowmen.

"Originally, I didn't want to show my hole cards so early, but in order to end this battle as soon as possible and reduce the casualties of Paoze..."Sun Ping did not have any mercy for the Yellow Turban Army, and while the opponent's shield player was severely damaged, two thousand crossbowmen launched a second shot.
