After Shi Lan handed Liu Ping into the hands of the chief who was in charge of the defense of this section of the city wall, he reflexively got off the city wall and came to the shooting range.

Until sunset, the four city walls had recruited hundreds of people with good archery skills, including nearly 100 archers who pierced through the Yang in 100 steps.

In addition to these people, dozens of warriors climbed the city wall to help defend the city, and many of them were familiar faces that Shi Lan had seen, and they were the ones who had received the bounty and left after passing the selection of the City Lord's Mansion.

With this group of new forces joining, the figures on the city walls are finally no longer sparse.

In addition to these people who assisted in defending the city, Nie Yangze also summoned all the middle-aged men in the city to one place and stood by at any time.

Looking at this scene, Shi Lan also felt a little confident in his heart.

In the evening, pots of boiled meat were brought up to the castle tower, along with the meat there were improvised tents, and it was evident that the city walls would not be able to go down tonight.

After dinner, Huang Fuyun gathered everyone together and began to make arrangements.

Since most of the people who came to assist in defending the city were mortals, it was obviously impossible to expect them to pull the crossbow strings of the demon crossbow by themselves, so they could only arrange a warrior to spread crossbows and arrows for them.

A martial artist in the five-fold body quenching realm, if he opens the crossbow more than ten times in a row, he will be exhausted, and he needs to leave a time buffer, and he can only withstand two crossbowmen at most.

The Quenching Body Realm is better, but the crossbow has been opened more than twenty times in a row, and it is almost to the limit, and it can probably withstand three crossbowmen, making it reach the fastest attack speed.

The veterans in the Demon Suppression Army, all of their strength is above the sevenfold level of the Quenching Body Realm, and Shi Lan's group of new joiners are the weakest and have the sixfold peak of the Quenching Body Realm, and the weaker ones have all died in the expedition some time ago.

Huang Fuyun did not arrange the demon army to be the crossbowman Zhang crossbowman, but handed over this responsibility to the City Lord's Mansion and the group of warriors who joined in later.

The group of martial artists in the City Lord's Mansion have many masters, there are several martial artists in the Innate Realm, and there are also many Ninefold in the Quenching Realm.

Those few Innate Realm martial artists naturally wouldn't do such a thing, they had more important things to do.

For Huang Fuyun's arrangement, those warriors have no objections, and it is safer to help pull the crossbow strings than to go down and meet the demon beasts.

Immediately, after Huang Fuyun arranged the manpower of the night patrol, he asked everyone to go back to rest.

Shi Lan returned to the tent, did not feel the slightest sleep, sat down cross-legged, and began to digest the flesh and blood essence swallowed for dinner.

……

"Wow!"

"Phew-"

A high-pitched cry that soared into the sky, as well as a cacophony, woke Shi Lan up instantly.

Lifting the tent, Shi Lan came to the city wall, and at this time the dawn had arrived, and the morning light illuminated the heavens and the earth.

After glancing at the situation, Shi Lan focused his gaze on the several huge black shadows hundreds of meters above his head.

These huge black shadows were a few birds of prey with jet-black wings, and their wingspan was no worse than the golden flame eagles that Shi Lan had seen before, and even surpassed.

The surrounding demon suppression soldiers have already set up demon crossbows, but the arrows of the demon crossbow cannot hurt the birds of prey in the sky.

Most of the arrows were blown away by the blast of air from their wings before they reached it, and the occasional arrow that landed on it was as if it had hit steel, and after a string of sparks, it slipped off its feathers.

Huang Fuyun stopped several Innate Realm martial artists who were preparing to take off the imperial weapon, strode to the edge of the nine-bow bed crossbow, turned the mechanism, and the huge bed crossbow slowly rose, and finally turned around, pointing directly at several giant birds hovering in the air!

After adjusting the position, Huangfu Yun stroked the pitch-black crossbow string, exhaled lightly, pulled it to the end, and then kicked up a bundle of cloud-piercing arrows placed on the side of the crossbow on the bed.

The string tied to the Cloud Piercing Arrow broke in an instant, and the four Cloud Piercing Arrows bounced up like big guns and fell into the grooves of the crossbow bed without missing a minute!

Completely prepared, Huang Fuyun did not hesitate, and instantly deducted the hanging knife of the bed crossbow.

"Collapse!"

A sound of breaking through the clouds and cracking stones, like a flat-bottomed thunder, exploded!

Four cloud-piercing arrows, wrapped in a rolling wave of air nearly 100 zhang long, rose into the sky!

Before those giant eagles could react, they were instantly pierced by the Cloud Piercing Arrow, and a huge hole of more than seven feet appeared on their bodies, and blood was spilled into the sky!

"Phew-"

"Wow!"

There was a long cry of sorrow, and several black shadows fell towards the ground like a kite with a broken string, and none of them were spared.

Huangfu Yun beckoned, and several Innate Realm martial artists rose into the air, caught the huge corpses of several giant eagles falling, and put them under the city wall, and several Innate Realm martial artists patrolled in the air, looking for traces of the Cloud Piercing Arrow.

In the end, only three of the four cloud-piercing arrows were recovered, and one of them was still worn out a lot.

Shi Lan walked to the edge of the nine-bow bed crossbow, and there was an exclamation in his heart, it was worthy of being a murder weapon that could kill the demon beasts of the Earth Hell Realm, and the power was really terrifying.

"The monster is coming!"

A shout suddenly rang out.

Shi Lan walked quickly to the city wall, and sure enough, a group of demon beasts of about two thousand or more were approaching rapidly with billowing smoke and dust, and they were less than five miles away from the city gate.

"Crossbow!" Huang Fuyun shouted violently, and the rest of the centurions also gave orders, and most of them began to approach the wall facing the beasts.

The sound of the crossbow strings pulling apart came and went.

Shi Lan hurriedly returned to the tent, took out the Demon Breaking Crossbow, spread the crossbow and arrows, and returned to the city wall.

When the group of demon beasts approached the city gate less than a mile, nearly a thousand broken demon crossbows had all been wound.

"Put!"

When the group of demon beasts was less than a hundred feet away from the city, several centurions gave an order together.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

The stainless steel arrows left the string one after another, and nearly a thousand arrows turned into a rain of arrows, enveloping the beasts.

"Whew-"

"Shhhh

"Roar—"

All kinds of miserable howls came and went, and the sound of beast roars permeated the sky.

The rain of arrows paused slightly, and then shot down from the sky again, after two or three rounds of arrow rain, more than two thousand demon beasts had died eight or nine out of ten, and occasionally a few living creatures were just surviving.

The fastest demon beast was shot before it could get within fifty feet of the city gate.

There was a burst of cheers from the city walls, full of the joy of victory.

The faces of several centurions and the demon army were still calm, and there was no joy, this was just a vanguard, and a large number of demon beasts were still behind.

The closed city gate slowly opened, and thousands of middle-aged men poured out of the city, moving extremely quickly and began to sweep the battlefield, retrieving arrows and a large number of demon beast corpses.

In less than half an hour, the battlefield was cleaned, and only a large amount of blood remained in front of Shuangyue City, mixed with the hair and scale armor of demon beasts, and not a single arrow was missed.

After the corpse of the demon beast was transported into the city, it was instantly stripped of skin and bones, turned into large pieces of flesh and blood, and stored.

The bent and worn steel arrows were also re-polished and repaired by several blacksmiths in the city, and the entire Twin Moon City seemed to become a whole, running non-stop all the time.
