The first to participate in the siege was Hu Cong's White Tiger Legion.

The current White Tiger Legion is no longer comparable to the original White Tiger Legion, you must know that Yang Tian gave all the places of the Praetorian Guard to the White Tiger Legion, so the current White Tiger Legion not only has nearly 200,000 more people than other legions in terms of numbers, but also the core combat force in the legion is not weaker than that of Lieyang, Yanlong and other legions. It can even be said that in terms of overall combat effectiveness, in addition to the Blue Dragon Legion, the White Tiger Legion is the strongest.

Since Baiyun City was upgraded to a fourth-level small city, the number of Praetorian Guards has also increased from the original 100,000 to 150,000, although this number cannot meet the needs of the White Tiger Legion, but it has also greatly improved its combat effectiveness.

Moreover, the White Tiger Legion, as the largest legion, is also the most complete in terms of troop allocation, which is also consistent with the characteristics of the Praetorian Guard. The Praetorian Guard is no match for the Sun Archers and the Flame Dragon Halberd, and he does not impose restrictions on the use of equipment, in other words, the Praetorian Guard can be sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, or even archers, which is completely configured according to the needs of the legion. Such characteristics allow him to adapt to the needs of any war.

The first to rush down from the Sea King transport was a group of heavy shield soldiers, numbering more than 20,000 men, who quickly lined up in front of the city, holding heavy metal shields more than two meters high, forging a strong defensive line. Don't underestimate this metal heavy shield, it was carefully developed by those emperor-level blacksmiths in Baiyun City, it is a gold-level equipment, even if the catapult bombards it head-on, it will not be able to destroy this heavy shield. However, while this heavy shield has strong defensive capabilities, its weight is also amazing, and only a ninth-order heavy shield soldier can handle such a heavy shield alone. If it was just like this, it wouldn't reflect the value of this thing, after all, all the main legion personnel of Baiyun City combined, I'm afraid there were no five hundred ninth-order heavy shield soldiers. The biggest advantage of it is that it can be operated by eighth-order soldiers. It's just not one, it's two.

Unlike other troops, the Heavy Shield Soldiers are armed with a large heavy shield for defense, so with a slight modification, it is completely possible for two people to operate a heavy shield.

A shield wall of nearly five kilometers quickly formed two hundred meters in front of the city wall, followed by a large number of archers rushing down the ships and standing close to the heavy shield soldiers in turn. Seeing the movements of these heavy shield soldiers below, the defending army on Izumo Castle immediately knew the purpose of the Baiyun Castle army, and their general immediately gave an order. Let all the ballistae on the city blast towards the heavy shield soldiers, and at the same time let some small catapults also aim at the heavy shield soldiers, and the boulders smashed through them with a piercing whistling sound. Also participating in the attack were the archers at the head of the city.

There was a loud bang ......, it was the sound of the collision between the boulder and the heavy shield, but what made the defending army dumbfounded. The heavy shield soldiers stood there motionless as if they were all right. As for the arrows fired by those archers, they were completely tickling these heavy shields, leaving not even a trace of them.

As soon as the archers behind the heavy shield were arrayed, they began to return fire on the defenders at the head of the city, and a rain of arrows fell above the walls, and from time to time the soldiers were killed by arrows. The attack on the city wall suddenly weakened a lot. Even the catapult was much more low-key, but it reduced the pressure on the ships that continued to unload the soldiers in the rear.

At this moment, more pikemen, swords and shields rushed down from the Sea King transport, carrying siege ladders. Thinking about the city walls and running.

"Shoot me! …… Suppress each other to the death! The generals on the city wall roared, they had all heard of the combat effectiveness of the army below, but they didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the other Japanese cities. Therefore, there is only desperate resistance. Moreover, they have all heard about it. Oda Daimyo is mobilizing a large army to come to support, and as long as they can hold out for a day, they will be able to hold Izumo Castle.

However, they still underestimated the army of Baiyun City, even if the arrows shot by those ordinary sixth-order archers on the city head hit the soldiers charging below, they could not bring much damage to the other party, and even some arrows fell to the ground without even piercing the opponent's armor, unable to break the defense! What a tragic thing this is!

Their gear is too perverted! Could it be that they are equipped with a full set of bronze-level equipment? This is the voice of all the defenders of the Japanese state. Whether a weapon or bow or arrow can break through the defense is directly related to the strength of the equipment user and the quality of the equipment, and these eighth-order soldiers can only completely ignore these sixth-order soldiers to attack with ordinary arrows if they are equipped with bronze armor.

How many people are on the other side? That's millions, all equipped with a full set of bronze-level equipment, what a strong manufacturing capacity it would take! However, they didn't know that even this fact they found unacceptable underestimated the manufacturing capacity of Baiyun City. Because these armies are all equipped with silver-level equipment. And this rotation was completed a year ago. Now those emperor-level manufacturing professions in Baiyun City have already designed a set of gold-level equipment for all classes, if it weren't for the fact that the production of gold-level equipment is too low and the cost is too high, I'm afraid Yang Tian would have already changed into gold-level suits for special troops.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the lord of Izumo Castle immediately ordered all the ordinary soldiers to withdraw, and at the same time transferred the most elite legions in the city to the city walls. The city lord of Izumo City originally didn't plan to send the elite army so early, but he couldn't help it because of the form.

The change of defense on the city wall has not yet been fully completed, and the soldiers of the White Tiger Legion have already loaded the siege ladder on the city wall, and the iron hook at the front of the ladder is fixed to the wall, and then the soldiers began to climb upward.

Seeing that the enemy was about to rush in front of them, the archers immediately picked up their weapons and fired at them. However, when these attacks fell on the soldiers, the effect was not very obvious, except for the damage that could be dealt to the pikemen, and for those sword and shield soldiers with round shields, they were basically useless, and their sturdy round shields blocked most of the attacks for themselves.

"With fire oil! Stone-throwing! The generals immediately gave the order, and at this time they didn't care about studying the other party's equipment, and being able to prevent the other party from attacking the city wall was the most important thing.

These elite soldiers of the Wa Kingdom reacted quickly, and they immediately picked up boulders from their sides and smashed them at the soldiers of Baiyun City who were constantly climbing upwards.

Suddenly, many soldiers were smashed off the ladder and fell to the ground under the huge impact of the boulder. However, not many people died because of this, and most of them suffered internal injuries due to the huge force of the shock after falling to the ground. And as soon as they hit the ground, they were carried back by their companions.

Due to the suddenness of this siege, the city walls were not prepared with oil. After the military commander gave the order, a large number of soldiers began to set up simple pots and stoves on the head of the city to boil fire oil. Now that this elite army is in front, the opponent cannot storm the city wall for the time being.

Originally, it was safer for these Japanese ** teams to hide behind the wall and shoot arrows, but now they are exposed and throw boulders, and they suddenly become the live targets of those archers below, and one arrow after another is frantically shot, which immediately caused some casualties to the defenders of the Japanese country, and even some soldiers have not had time to throw out after lifting the boulder, they were pierced through the chest by an arrow and collapsed to the ground, and the boulder instantly fell to his chest, and he didn't know whether he was killed by the arrow or killed by the boulder. Does it matter to him, though? (To be continued)
