Chapter 147: Turning the Fire

With a series of dense whistling, a whole stone projectile flew directly from behind the ancient walls of the Iron Wall Tribe, and attacked the archer troops located on the high ground outside the city.

"Grass! It's actually a slinger? Zhang Yisheng was surprised, but he was not defenseless, after all, he was also an archer by profession, so he would definitely seriously consider the safety of the archer troops, and specially left a team of melee troops with shields in the rear to protect the safety of the archer troops.

Now that he saw the enemy's long-range attack coming, he didn't need to say anything at all, and the shield-wielding troops responsible for protecting them were already raising their shields for defense at the first time.

The heavy stone projectiles kept smashing on the shield, and the impact force transmitted through the shield made the soldiers holding the shield feel uncomfortable, "Chief, the attack of the other party's slinger is a bit powerful, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop it for long!" ”

Hearing the report of the commander of the shield-holding troops, Zhang Yisheng's face sank, and then he decisively ordered, "The siege troops in front continue to advance, and the archers and shield-holding troops retreat thirty steps!" ”

The troops under his command moved quickly under his orders, and Zhang Yisheng couldn't help muttering in his heart while retreating, "Damn! What the heck? This Luo Ji, since he can build an ancient city wall, it means that he is also an old player, why is he still using a slinger? ”

But in any case, the siege battle has already begun, so there is no reason to coward, the archer is his special strengthened class, coupled with his own silver-level 'archer mastery' skills, although the range of thirty steps back will affect the power, but he can still threaten the opponent's ancient city wall behind the city defenders, and in comparison, the threat brought to him by the opponent's slingers has greatly decreased.

"Archer troops, keep firing arrows!"

"Commander, the opponent's archer troops have retreated!" The sentry who was shrinking behind the guardrail of the Sentinel Tower cautiously revealed a pair of eyes, and after taking a look at the situation outside the ancient city wall, he hurriedly reported to Zhao Pan below.

"How far back did you retreat?"

"About twenty steps! The subordinates are not sure! The terrain of the hilly area was undulating, which was not conducive to visual distance measurement, and the arrows flying outside caused him to dare not take a closer look at it at all, and could only make a rough judgment.

And Zhao Pan, who heard this, frowned obviously, although the sentry himself said that he was not sure, but after the invaders retreated for a certain distance, the arrows of the archer troops could still attack the position they were in now, which was enough to explain a lot of problems, the range of the opponent's archer troops was even larger than he expected!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Pan decisively asked again, "What about the other party's siege troops?" Did the siege force retreat? ”

The sentry saw the opportunity and glanced out again, "No! The siege troops are still pushing the siege vehicles forward! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Pan immediately waved his hand, "The shield and axe troops are responsible for blocking the arrows overhead, the slinger troops are advancing ten steps, the attack angle is forty degrees to the left, and all the stone bombs are ready to be thrown!" Turn the enemy siege troops and put it!! ”

Most of the slingers who were sent by Luo Ji to the side of the Tiebi tribe to garrison were veterans with rich combat experience, and they were already extremely skilled in the use of slings, and they were even more comfortable in controlling the angle of attack.

"Turned hot? And it's a bit of a good idea. "The reason why the slingers will be eliminated is that in addition to the hard injury of mobility, the accuracy of their own attacks is also one of the reasons, the opponent's slingers can actually convert the attack target so quickly and accurately, to be honest, Zhang Yisheng was a little frightened, and then gritted his teeth violently, "The archer troops advanced thirty steps forward, forced back the opposite slinger troops, and covered the advance of the siege troops!" ”

Since the other party had already turned fire, he decisively returned to the best output position confirmed before, but unexpectedly, as soon as his rear troops moved, they had not had time to land on that high ground, and the slinger troops who defended the city turned fire again, and a round of stone bullets smashed directly into that high ground!

Although the stone bullets that were almost flying in front of him were finally blocked by the shield-wielding troops in front, a look of surprise still appeared on his face, and then he burst into a foul mouth on the spot, "Grass! React so quickly? Is someone watching my side of the action? ”

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yisheng decisively launched his skills, "Eagle Eye!" ”

The dark pupils contracted and dilated rapidly, and the vision in front of him instantly became clear, and then he found the figure huddled behind the guardrail of the sentry tower, peeking at this side of the battlefield.

There is no friction, the duration of the eagle eye is limited, I saw Zhang Yisheng move quickly, bending the bow and arrows, and shooting an arrow! The sentry who was still cowering behind the guardrail of the Sentinel Tower didn't have time to react, and at that time, only a muffled sound of 'Tuk' was heard! About two fingers away, the flying arrow nailed to the plank of the guardrail of the Sentinel Tower! But it still made the sentry break out in a cold sweat, "Okay, so dangerous, I almost got an arrow......

At the same time, Zhang Yisheng on the other end was unhappy with a 'tsk', different from the first two sentries standing guard on the sentry tower defenselessly, at this time the sentry was hiding behind the guardrail, in the face of such a situation, the difficulty of shooting the other party with an arrow obviously rose in a straight line.

In desperation, the whole battle gradually evolved into a tug-of-war, once the archer troops advanced, the opponent's slinger troops would directly fight over with a round of long-range suppression, until they retreated, and once they retreated, the opponent's slingers immediately adjusted their position and turned to fire on the siege troops.

At this moment, Zhang Yisheng already realized that he was kicking the iron plate, but he was not directly persuaded to retreat, and looked up at the sky, when he just invaded, the time was already afternoon, originally wanted to use the advantage of long-range troops to cover the siege troops to advance in one breath, and break through the city gate before dark, but he didn't expect the firepower of the opponent's slinger troops to be unexpectedly fierce, and he was suppressed by force, and the siege troops were also extremely difficult to advance......

Thinking of this, Zhang Yisheng waved his hand and decisively issued an order to withdraw his troops, but now, he is not in a hurry, the firepower of the opponent's slinger troops is indeed fierce enough, but according to the frequency of the attack, no matter how many stone bullets can withstand that consumption, at most three rounds of siege battles, this city gate will be broken!
