"Check the oil of fire! Check whether the bows and arrows are complete! Whether the heavy crossbow operators are in place! Whether the branches and barracks are in place! Verify them all! The enemy may attack us at any time, lift up your spirits! Brothers, we must hold our ground!"

The loud voice echoed on the tower of the city of Huicheng, and the commander-in-chief who was responsible for commanding this fight against the dark army was naturally the current governor of Qi City, Sun Hao, who was holding a golden sandalwood longbow, that is, his instrument soul Yunkun Breaking the Sky, which had been with him since he was a child, and for his feelings, it was almost equal to Luo Yinying, and it was the most important thing in his life.

The importance of this bow and arrow to him is self-evident. Even before, in the dark abyss, the ordinary Soul Piercing Cloud Arrow he used to use, after being cast by the soul, turned into the current gilded ancient artifact Soul Cloud Breaking Heaven, Sun Hao never put it down and always carried it with him.

This Yunkun Heaven Breaker is also Sun Hao's most important weapon, although he has a very pure and sharp long sword on his waist, but due to the cultivation of the soul, Sun Hao will almost not use the long sword on his waist at all. His archery skills are already superb, and with Yunkun's special arrows, he can play a very significant role in the condescending terrain of the city defense.

At this time, Sun Hao is mainly responsible for urging the soldiers to make full preparations to deal with the chaotic and complicated situation around him, after all, he is now the governor here, and he needs to coordinate and dispatch everything around, especially at this time, Luo Yinying has fallen into a deep sleep, and it is difficult to wake up for a while, and all the burdens need to be borne by him alone.

In order to share the huge pressure that the northern city wall will bear, Sun Hao mobilized the other two generals in charge of command, Chen Kai and Yang Cheng, who were originally rotated in three batches, and let them command their own headquarters respectively to guard the east and west city walls. In this way, 16,000 soldiers have gone.

In order to guard against the special mole troops of the Dark Legion, the city naturally had to leave an army for general defense, so another 10,000 elite soldiers were gone.

When he learned that the Dark Legion was pressing the news with all his might, Sun Hao was in full swing to arrange and deploy the army on the city tower for defense, of course, he was also looking for other opportunities, he couldn't blindly defend it, and he also needed to take the initiative to attack.

So, while ascending the tower to deploy defenses, he secretly dispatched 5,000 troops to quietly leave from the south gate of Huicheng, which was not yet besieged by the dark army, and lurked in the Mingguang Forest not far to the east of Huicheng, waiting for an opportunity. Sun Hao agreed with the leading general that as soon as the signal was sent from within the city, he would immediately lead his army from the east side and raid the flank of the Dark Legion.

In this way, there are only 19,000 troops left on the tower of the North City, and there are many soldiers who need to control the heavy crossbow and trebuchet and cannot participate in the frontal defense, so to speak, the soldiers that Sun Hao can now operate with the dispatcher may only be 13,000 or 4,000 people.

For the first round of defense, more than 10,000 troops must be enough, after all, the city tower only has that fixed length, and no matter how many soldiers there are, it is difficult to fully deploy the formation and deploy it to defend completely. It's just that once the army starts to show damage, especially since the Dark Legion has spider troops, it will not be difficult to climb the tower. In this way, there is a high chance that their soldiers will engage in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the Dark Legion.

At that time, once the casualties of the soldiers began to increase, they needed to replenish the reserve army, but there were very few troops he could mobilize, and Sun Hao was not sure whether he could win this battle. What he can do now is to do his best, boost morale, and lead the soldiers of the Qi State to fight with all their might, nothing more.

After arranging what all the soldiers needed to do, as well as the follow-up bows and crossbows, fire oil, and rolling stones, which were ready, Sun Hao stood by the blue lion banner of the Qi State on the city tower, carrying his golden sandalwood bow Yun Kun Po Tian in his right hand, and holding tightly on the flag pole that symbolized the supreme authority of the Qi State with his left hand. He had secretly sworn that even if he died, he would protect the Qi flag that fluttered on the last city.

Sun Hao knew very well that this flag could now be said to be a symbol of the spiritual power of the Qi State, and once this flag was destroyed, the consequences would be unpredictable. He knows that the current soldiers of the Qi State are adhering to it with their own will and faith, and this banner, to put it bluntly, is the biggest belief in the current Qi State.

The troops were ready to go, and the neat and uniform army of the Qi Kingdom was lined up, and every soldier knew very well in their hearts that the northern city wall where they were currently located must be the main target and direction of the Dark Legion's attack. At this time, the army of the Dark Legion had already begun to march, and the first was the largest number of humanoid soldiers in the Dark Legion, who had always been used as "cannon fodder".

Behind the humanoid soldiers is the main force used by the Dark Legion to attack the city, that is, the spider troops. This spider force was once the most important weapon of the Dark Legion when it first breached the city. Therefore, this attack, the combat strategy of the Dark Legion still adheres to the same habits.

However, the soldiers and civilians of the Qi State in the Huicheng, especially the Qi generals who were lucky enough to survive when the Huicheng fell, they still remember the tactics of the Dark Legion. Having learned the lesson of the last time, the current Qi State has made certain preparations for how to deal with the spider troops of the Dark Legion, so as not to say that it will lead to being at a loss.

On the tower of Huicheng City, Sun Hao, who witnessed the soldiers of the Dark Legion starting to advance, immediately let go of the flag of Qi that he was holding tightly, holding the bow in his right hand and pulling the string in his left hand, the power of the internal force of the soul condensed at this moment, and the flaming arrows went straight into the sky.

Flame arrows erupted in the air, and the blazing flames set fire to the entire castle sky. As the flames ignited, Sun Hao's loud shout resounded through the sky. "Whole army, prepare to light the flaming arrows!"

For the use of rockets to strike, Qi Guo's attainments in this area are still very sufficient. Especially now, when rockets need to be used to burn soil and hay to block the movement of the Dark Legion's spider troops, rockets are even more important.

Outside the city, most of the land is relatively wet, which is caused by the topography of the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, it often rains continuously, so it is difficult for most of the land outside the city to ignite the flames, so if you want to hinder the movement of the Dark Legion spider troops, you need rockets to shoot at the city like a rain of arrows, and it is possible to take effect.

However, the crossbowmen of the Qi Kingdom used crossbow arrows that were pre-wound with fiber near the shaft, and then soaked in oil and then dried. These bolts ignite a raging fire when touched in a burning flame, and the flame will not be easily extinguished until the grease burns out.

Sun Hao knew very well that rockets could not be shot easily, because for those humanoid soldiers of the Dark Legion, they would not be afraid of flames at all, and even if they wanted to pass through them, they would not frown. Rockets must be used to stop the spider troops, and they must not be allowed to reach the walls of the city easily.

Therefore, there are only 1,500 archers in the Qi State who tie fiber grease to the arrows, and the remaining 3,500 are still using ordinary crossbow arrows for salvos. The main purpose of these soldiers is to suppress the humanoid soldiers of the Dark Legion.

The military order has been issued, and all the crossbowmen of the Qi Kingdom have wound their crossbows with their arrows, drawn their bows and taken their positions, waiting for the coming army of the Dark Legion.

The humanoid soldiers of the Dark Legion began to advance in large numbers, and the darkness of the night sky appeared to be a continuous stretch of darkness. At the same time, the sky ignited by Sun Hao's flame arrows also reflected the dark bats hovering in the sky.

At the same time, he had to face spiders, bats, and even strange soldiers that the Dark Legion had never used before, but the Dark Legion also chose to attack in the middle of the night, and the Qi army was not good at night fighting, which really made Sun Hao feel a lot of pressure.

The distance from the base of the Dark Legion to the northern wall of the city is neither far nor close, and in the face of the Qi country, which can still be said to be the same enemy and the common enemy, the Ming Yi envoy holding the book knows very clearly that it is difficult to capture the city through frontal hard battle without paying a certain price.

It was still the humanoid soldiers who took the lead, and thousands of humanoid soldiers rushed to the position of the northern city wall with a shout. "Rocket, shoot!" Sun Hao gave the order to launch the rocket, it was difficult to see the specific location of the enemy in the dark, and now the rocket can illuminate the situation outside the city, preventing the spider and bat troops from sneaking up on the city tower and the situation that they can't detect in time.

The arrows were soaked in the brazier, the grease was ignited by the flames, and the arrows wrapped in flames fell from the towers, most of which were extinguished by the wind when they fell from mid-air, or the wet ground, and fifteen hundred rockets sporadically lit less than twenty.

Even so, the situation outside the city became slightly clearer in the spread of flames, and it was not easy to stop the Dark Legion's attack with such flames.

Sun Hao was about to order the second round of rockets to be launched again, when a figure holding a folding fan suddenly appeared in the darkness outside the city, and the open folding fan in the figure's hand waved forward slightly, and the flames obviously began to spread forward with the wind, and even became more and more violent in the process.

Although there was only a faint light of fire, Sun Hao, who had a wide field of vision, saw the scene vividly, this figure holding a folding fan was surrounded by four storms, and the open folding fan in his hand waved forward at the same time, and the four storms blew forward at the same time, blowing the flames that fell on the ground in the direction where the dark legion was.

Sun Hao's face was happy, if he couldn't determine the person who used the folding fan, the person who could use the folding fan to summon the storm, the name was about to come out.

"Yu Chong! is that you?"

"It's me, Sun Hao, we're back!"
