Chapter 57: You Live or Die
Ron's face was a little ugly, and these Belu soldiers reacted the most ferociously the moment the explosive pack stopped attacking Yod's side.
In fact, from the very beginning of this battle, the Second Army had already begun to frantically invest its troops at any cost, and finally the morale that had just been suppressed by the continuous bombardment of explosive packs was revived under the enemy's counterattack.
Standing at the highest point of the city wall and looking at the past, the scene is absolutely shocking. Belu's soldiers were still coming from the great plains, clustered together, completely without formation, and without the need for formation, dense and overwhelming, enough to make people's scalps tingle and trembling hands and feet. Many of the soldiers of the city defense army were very emotionally high when they rushed up from behind, and their faces were slightly red from overexcitement, but after climbing the battlements and filling the gap caused by the sacrifice of their comrades, they saw that there was a completely gray sea in front of them, and the Belu team could not see the end at a glance. I couldn't help but breathe heavily, and my face would probably turn pale when I was slightly reddened.
At this time, the dark clouds that had been accumulating on the great plains finally covered the entire sky, and lightning shuttled through the dark clouds, sending out a low roar, and the raindrops of beans poured down from the sky and beat wildly on the blood-soaked land.
However, the torrential rain did not affect the almost fanatical offensive momentum of the Belu soldiers, who had been suppressed for too long under the bombardment of a series of explosive packs, and did not need to mobilize, and now every Belu soldier just wanted to climb the blood-stained tower of Yode Town and send the sharp blade in his hand into the enemy's heart.
But the siege of the city in this weather is undoubtedly very unfavorable. The rain washed over the blood-soaked walls, making them even more slippery, and the raindrops whistled down with the wind, slapping on the faces of the besieging soldiers, and almost all the soldiers who climbed the ladder were smashed by the rain and couldn't open their eyes, and under the dark clouds, the day became like night.
In such weather, whether it is the besieging Beru soldiers or the city defense army in Yod Town, they are fighting with their body's instinctive reactions.
It's all a battle of willpower!
Under the cover of archers in the distance, more and more ladders were erected on the towers of Yod, and at this time, it was obviously impossible to attack the Beru soldiers below at the height of the city walls.
"Stand back and shoot at the sky!"
Meria's voice was almost drowned out in a dull thunder, and all the archers, retreating to the innermost part of the wall, raised their crossbows on their backs, and fired diagonally into the sky.
Dense arrows shot up into the sky, then bent at the highest point, and finally fell towards the edge of the wall, and fell fiercely into the Beru forces below. The Beru, who had crowded at the base of the city walls, immediately fell by hundreds, and the rest of the soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to prevent arrows from the sky. However, their shields were too numerous to block all the sky, and the city walls suddenly seemed chaotic, and only by climbing the ladder could they dodge the clusters of arrows that fell from the sky along with the raindrops.
The soldiers of the city defense army all retreated to the edge of the battlements, and all the crossbow machines in their hands were aimed at the edge of the ladder, as long as an enemy climbed up the ladder, they would be instantly subjected to the fire of crossbow arrows.
As long as there is a person who climbs the ladder, even if he has a shield in his hand, there will definitely be other parts of his body exposed, either the head, or the chest and limbs. One arrow past them, and they will surely fall down the ladder.
Soon, the Belu soldiers who rushed to the front had already touched the edge of the battlements, and Ron could even hear the heavy breathing of the surrounding city defense soldiers, but these Belu soldiers were very smart, they did not send their bodies up directly, but raised the shield in their hands, and immediately the city defense soldiers who did not calm down pulled the trigger on the exposed shield.
At such a close distance, the impact of the crossbow arrows was absolutely terrifying, and even if it was set on the shield, there were some underprepared Beilu soldiers who were directly pushed down the city tower by the countershock force from the shield.
However, the combat goal of the Belu soldiers was achieved, and the crossbow machine in this era could not be fired in bursts, as long as the first arrow was fired, the machine had to be reloaded by pulling the bracket.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Belu soldiers on the ladder shouted and climbed directly over the wall of the battlements.
"Launch!"
Meria's voice sounded at the right time, although the city defense army was all some recruits, but their commander was not stupid, Meria divided the team into two echelons, after the first team members fired, they immediately retreated to the stairs, and let the second echelon behind fill the previous position to shoot.
It's not that Meria is reluctant to shoot more echelons, these recruits will definitely make mistakes in the panic, and the narrow position of the battlements to the staircase cannot accommodate more city defense soldiers to spread out in formation.
The speed of the Belu soldiers climbing the ladder is getting faster and faster, even if it is an echelon shooting, the reloading time of the crossbow arrows is a little insufficient, once a soldier is hit by an arrow, the Belu soldiers behind the ladder immediately push the body of their companion from the ladder to the side. There were some soldiers who had not yet been shot and fell from such a high altitude and suddenly became the most worthless thing on the battlefield.
"Ahhh
The Belu soldiers who had climbed over the city wall were like bloodthirsty beasts, and the soldiers of the city defense army in front of them were like fresh meat that exuded the smell of blood, and the sound of blades suddenly sounded on the battlements, and sparks splashed everywhere, and the narrow battlements became the Shura field of death.
The more it was a matter of life and death, Ron became more and more calm, and when the Beru climbed to the top of Yod, Ron knew that the balance of victory in this battle had tilted in favor of the Beru. But even so, Ron still believes that there is still a chance to turn the tables in his hands.
Ron accurately sent the blade into the left chest of the oncoming Belu soldier, and when the Belu soldier rushed up, the rain on his head flowed down his hair into the eye sockets, and his eyes were not fully opened, and the energy essence on this soldier's body was injected into Ron's body, turning into a new talent point.
To be precise, as the situation on the battlefield became more and more intense, Ron couldn't even care about managing his talent points, and so far, in his talent system, there were already three idle talent points, Ron took a step back, and with a movement of his mind, on the dim and blank plus point line, three new talents, rose with green brilliance.
"Fire Escape Ninjutsu Range Increase", "Fire Escape Ninjutsu Enhancement" and "Fire Escape - Hao Fireball Technique"
Ron knew very well in his heart that it was almost impossible to make a big improvement in a short period of time, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to the talent area that had just been unlocked later, and the chakra energy instantly gathered in his body.
