Chapter 546: Siege Again
This night Yitian City was surprisingly quiet, even the upright dynasty people outside the city were very cooperative, they didn't dig the pillars of the five-yuan sword formation during the day, and no one went out at night, as if these people didn't come to attack the city, just passing by, staying for one night and leaving.
But the people in Yitian City can't really calm down in their hearts, and everyone understands that tomorrow the people of the Upright Dynasty will attack the city again, and it will be the moment that will decide the fate of Yitian City.
Meng Winding Red Dragon was one of them, and he carried the safety of the entire Heavenly City on his shoulders.
When the sky was just showing a little red, and the mountains and forests in the distance seemed even darker, a new day came. Although the morning glow in the east will shatter the last bit of darkness and cause golden light to shine into the earth, the sky will also become a blue sky. But nothing has changed, just like every ordinary day.
Everyone in the Heavenly City knows that today has changed, and it has become very different.
There were already people in the camp of the people's army, and although no one spoke, the rapid sound that could be made made made people feel a little depressed and anxious.
The little bit of red in the east slowly expanded, and when that little bit of red revealed some golden yellow, everything became clear, and you could see the white mist steaming up from the mountain forest, and the rapid drum beat sounded on the walls of the Heavenly City.
The sound of the drum meant that the people of the Righteous Dynasty were about to attack the city again.
When the first drum sounded, the red dragon who was sitting cross-legged on the bed opened his eyes, jumped up and rushed out of the barracks, he had practiced magic all night, he did not take off his clothes at all, and he was still wearing the black dark dragon armor.
As soon as he rushed out of the house, he saw the Menghuanshan Tiger and the Menghuan Leopard also rushing out of the next room, and the three of them did not speak, and rushed directly towards the door of the barracks.
In this process, they saw Liao Shusheng and other military positions in the People's Army, but no one spoke, but they all looked serious, because they knew what was going to happen later.
Meng Huan Chilong didn't speak, but just made a gesture, asking Liao Shusheng to organize the civilian soldiers and rush to the city wall as soon as possible. And he rushed out without stopping, rushing towards the walls where the battle was about to take place.
For him, he is now not only the leader of the people's army, but also the commander of Yitian City. He must hurry to the city walls and command all his soldiers against the attack of the dignified dynasty, which is his duty now.
Before they could reach the city wall, they felt the ground tremble slightly, which must be the reason why there were many people running, and then the roar of the guards on the city wall, and the sound of the horns of the righteous dynasty. They harnessed their magical power and rushed up the walls at a faster speed.
Standing on the city wall, Meng Huan Chilong looked out of the city, and felt that the people of the Zheng Dynasty were different from the previous times. At the sound of the trumpet, the upright dynasty man dressed in black armor rushed out of the military camp opposite.
Only this time they were very orderly, and after those soldiers rushed out, they formed a phalanx of 10,000 people, and then slowly advanced forward. And in the barracks, there were soldiers rushing out in a steady stream, filling the empty spaces in front of the city wall, forming phalanxes.
After a while, the open space in front of the general camp of the soldiers of the Duan Dynasty was all filled, like a black land, but on that land, there was a murderous spear.
If you look closely, you can see that on both sides of the square, some Shura people are wandering, and from time to time there are people screaming, don't think about it, you also know that these people are looking for the pillars of the five-yuan sword array, but they have fallen into the trap that was laid later.
In other words, the five-element sword formation may really be useless, and the people of the Righteous Dynasty are very determined to destroy that array, because the intermittent screams have been ringing.
In the dust raised by the soldiers of the Righteous Dynasty, Meng Huan Red Dragon carefully looked at the phalanx, and found that the new Shura Emperor was indeed more rigorous in governing the army than Mohandas.
There are now about 40,000 people in the open space in front of the city gate, and if all the soldiers of the upright dynasty are pressed under the city wall, the open space can reach about 70,000 people, which is already twice the number of soldiers in the city.
So many people gathered in dense groups, but there was no confusion at all, each phalanx seemed to be independent, with shieldmen in front, spearmen in the back, then archers, and finally soldiers riding mountain beasts.
At the back of the phalanx, there was a row of attack equipment, which made the entire phalanx look distinct and layered.
A contingent that administers the army rigorously means that the command is uniform, and the means of attack at different levels are the guarantee of victory.
As he thought so, he turned to look at the situation on his walls, and his brow furrowed.
Now there was some confusion on the city wall, and some of the soldiers were staring blankly at the upright people who were slowly pushing over, not knowing what they were thinking, and some of them seemed to be looking for a hiding place in a panic, guarding against the other party's attack.
Seeing this scene, he felt a little bitter in his heart, because the casualties in yesterday's battle were too great, and now some of the soldiers are new soldiers who have just joined, and they have no experience at all. That is to say, the quality of the soldiers on both sides is not equal at all, but he can't dodge, and this city must be defended. And it is certain that the Shura Emperor is already in the military formation, personally commanding this battle, they are prepared, they don't want to be entangled outside the city anymore, and they want to attack the city with all their might.
He walked quickly to the tower and shouted at the drummers who were already on standby: "Tell the soldiers to line up outside the small ecstasy formation, the shield-bearers in front and the archers behind, and release the arrows! Shoot me with a strong crossbow! Don't let them approach the moat easily!"
The drums sounded, and the panicked city guard soldiers, after hearing the order, began to gather.
A rain of arrows flew out, with crossbows and spears between them, but it had little effect on the black rivers that were pouring in. Most of the arrows were blocked by the shields, and the crossbow spears had a great deal of power, causing the soldiers of the Righteous Dynasty to fall in their way and let out a scream.
It's just that the places of those who have fallen, every time a soldier fills them, the whole queue is still steadily approaching the moat. When the people of the upright dynasty approached the moat, they collectively stopped.
The shield-bearer raised the large shield in his hand, only to hear a boom, and erected a shield wall by the moat to block the archers behind him. The archers drew their bows and fired their arrows at the city of Etiara, and the battle began.
It's just that this battle is not as fierce as the previous few times, and what has changed is that in the queue of the Duanzheng Dynasty, there are soldiers of the Duanzheng Dynasty rushing out of the queue in rows and rushing towards the moat.
Most of the soldiers of the upright dynasty who rushed in were tall asuras, and they held various bags of earth or stones on their chests, and arrows could not penetrate those bags, only crossbow spears had some lethal power against these people. After throwing their bags into the moat, these people turned around and left, but each of them carried a shield on their backs to shield the flying arrows.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of the red dragon glared at the garden, because with this method, the moat could be quickly filled, and the people of the upright dynasty could easily rush to the city. Now there are only some soldiers on duty on the city wall, a large number of city guards and civilian troops have not yet arrived, and the most important thing is the archers under the city, who are still suppressing the attack on the city wall.
You must know that the archers on the city wall are several times the number of people on the city wall, and every time you hear the sound of the bowstring, a large number of arrows fly up the city wall, causing the city wall to scream, and there is also the smell of blood and fire.
The archers under the city walls are not easy to attack, not only do they have shields to cover, but now there are not as many bows and arrows on the city walls, so they can only watch the soldiers being attacked.
He roared instinctively. "Attack with all your might, with talismans, arrows, poisons, and crossbows, and if there is a spirit witch, you will release your magic power. The archer enters the small maze formation, pay attention to cover, and release the arrows!"Because it is a waste to use ordinary arrows now.
Fortunately, these things were prepared on the city wall yesterday, and some military officers rushed into the city tower to look for these things. Meng Huan Red Dragon took out his Fire Jiao Divine Bow and walked towards the battlement.
He tied two quivers to his left and right, pulled out an arrow from the ordinary quiver, drew the bow to the fullest, took the golden magic power, and with a loosening of his fingers, the feathered arrows shot towards a tall asura like a meteor. The arrow "poofed" through the asura's helmet and passed through.
The asura man was holding a sandbag and planted his head on the ground. From the ranks of the upright dynasty, another Asura rushed out, picked up the sandbag, and continued to rush to the moat, death did not seem to affect them, the purpose was to throw all these sandbags into the moat and open this passage.
Seeing this scene, Meng Huan Chilong shouted: "Archers, shoot them in line, don't let them rush out." ”
Soon there was a shout of military rank from the city wall, and the arrows wrapped in talismans and crossbow spears were shot at the front of the phalanx of the upright dynasty.
In a "whooshing" sound, the talisman arrow exploded, and in addition to the soldiers who were shot, the people next to them were also affected. The crossbow spear directly nails the person to the ground, and the undead will let out a scream.
Behind the queue of the upright dynasty, the sound of the horn sounded, and the queue of the upright dynasty changed again, and the entire phalanx stopped, but a large number of shield players were dispatched, raising the shields in their hands, and in the sound of a metal collision, small phalanxes were formed.
The small phalanx was blocked by a shield in front of it and a shield on its head, slowly moving towards the moat.
Except for the crossbow spear, which can penetrate those shields, the runic arrows can only explode on the surface of the shield, although they can make the small phalanx a little chaotic, but they are not lethal. The shields of the upright dynasty are basically more than one person high, and they can cover them tightly.
Meng Winding Red Dragon felt a little powerless, and watched a small phalanx rush to the moat and throw a large number of sandbags into the moat, and you could see that the place was filled with sandbags, making the water flow a little turbulent.
After the phalanx in front was thrown, he immediately retreated, and immediately followed by another phalanx, continuing the practice just now.
Moreover, the means of correcting the people of the dynasty are not just like this, in the sound of a few horns, the phalanx of the upright dynasty slowly approached the Heavenly City. At the front was a row of shield-bearers, covering the procession tightly.
The soldiers they rode on the mountain beasts did not move, but the heavy siege equipment at the back slowly pressed up. As long as a certain distance is reached, the attack of those siege machines can completely suppress the attack on the city wall.
