readx;? Looking at the soldier on the ground who had died of anger, Zhang Sheng's face became ugly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoΩΔe.la81 An arrow with a jet-black shaft was inserted into his chest, which was known to Zhang Sheng, a tungsten iron arrow of Xuanguo.
Bai Yun waved his hand for the soldiers to carry away the soldiers who had already died, and turned to look at Zhang Sheng waiting for his decision. Zhang Sheng's chest was bullying, and his eyes were full of anger, but in the end, he still calmed down and walked to the city lonely.
The white clouds that followed and the apocalypse that moved when they heard the sound, the two of them hurriedly looked around, and all they saw was green armor. Ironstone City is green on three sides, and there is a very majestic and tall siege machine in each direction.
The black ones were as tall as the walls of the city, and they were covered with soldiers. At the top is a flat fence with hundreds of Xuanguo wrestlers inside. The hardest wooden carrier was placed on a huge iron base, and five Western Exotic Beasts were drawn around it.
It can be seen that this device is undoubtedly a siege weapon, that is, the "Five Beasts Cloud Tower" that only appeared in legends, and the top siege weapon that ranks first in attacking the city and plundering the land.
Zhang Sheng saw that the Five Beasts Cloud Pagoda immediately staggered, and the Apocalypse was also shocked and almost fell. Bai Yun hadn't seen it, but looking at the performance of the two, he immediately understood the power of this siege tower.
"The two generals can't be so discouraged, wait for me to take a hexagram and try it!" Bai Yun stretched out his hand and went to the east, west, and south as the base, and simply divined.
After a while, Bai Yun smiled slightly: "Although the siege tower is powerful, we are not afraid of him. We have the strategy left by the Nine Heavens, and we have the Thunderbolt Ranger in charge, and my hexagram shows that there should be no danger!"
"Is this true?" Tianqi stood up from the city wall and stepped in front of Bai Yun: "Don't you just comfort us?"
"General of the Apocalypse!" Bai Yun shook his head: "The art of divination is a mental technique, and if the mental technique is not right, Jiuxiao can be friends with us?"
"Okay!" Zhang Sheng eased up a little, stood up and looked at the group of trembling soldiers around him.
"Brothers, listen! The Baiyun Dao Master is a master of divination, and he has just predicted our end. We will win, and Xuanguo is only a momentary power. ”
"Brothers!" Apocalypse also came to the spirit: "Enter the first-level combat readiness, listen to my orders and prepare to counterattack!"
When everyone heard the two generals say this, they suddenly felt confident in their hearts. Isn't it true that the cultivators have said that the city will not be broken, just shoot arrows, let's go!
Driven by a few henchmen, the momentum of most of the soldiers quickly rose. Each holds the Brahma repeater in their hands, bends their bows and arrows, and prepares for a wave of attacks.
Emperor Xuan sat on the ninth-order white tiger majestic, with three flags behind his back and waved with one hand, and the three-sided army immediately began to attack the city.
"It's time enough, Jiuxiao, if you don't come out, you won't come out, I'll fight until you come out!!!
With an order, the 300,000 troops under Emperor Xuan began to slowly move the Five Beast Cloud Tower, which was too large and bulky, and it was not easy to move the siege weapon of hundreds of thousands of catties.
As soon as Emperor Xuan moved, Tianqi and Zhang Sheng and Bai Yun also gave orders, and all the soldiers at the head of the city began to shoot wildly.
Brahma's crossbow pounced on the Xuanguo army like a row of ten arrows, and a large number of them fell after a wave. But there are 300,000 soldiers in the Xuanguo Kingdom, and the dead are only a drop in the bucket.
The Xuanguo people, who were accustomed to seeing blood, were furious when they saw their companions falling, and rushed over one by one brandishing their weapons. Except for those soldiers who were manipulating the Five Beast Cloud Tower, about 100,000 people from the other three sides rushed over.
Wave after wave of crossbow arrows, piercing the void and producing a piercing sonic boom, it only stopped the Xuan ** team for a while. The Xuanguo people quickly raised their shields, formed a defensive formation, and approached the city of Tieshi Pass in the rain of arrows.
If the distance is too far, the bow and arrow cannot be shot, and the distance is too close. When the Xuanguo people reached the dead end of the bow and arrow, the defenders of the Great Ancient Dynasty had to give up the bow and arrow, and one by one they picked up the rolling wood and stones that had been prepared and smashed them down.
Only the soldiers on the higher battlements still shot arrows, because the rolling wood and stones could not be transported, and the place was narrow enough to accommodate three or two people.
"Boom!" In a tumbling sound, thousands of Xuanguo soldiers died, Xuanhuang sat in the Chinese army without hurrying or impatient, and the generals on three sides began the next move.
"Arrows! Whoosh!" Xuanguo's archery troops rushed from behind and fired indestructible tungsten iron arrows.
These arrows were much more powerful than Brahma repeaters, and often one arrow could pierce one soldier and even hurt a second. The Xuanguo archers quickly retreated after shooting a wave, and the demon wolf war cavalry surrounded the city wall.
Rolling boulders dropped from the top of the city only work against enemies who have not yet fully approached, and have no damage once they reach the base of the wall. The things that fell from above were all far away from the city wall, and dozens of people from the Xuanguo people wore shields in a group to resist a lot of rolling wood and stones.
As long as it is not too big, it can resist, and the worst thing is to be knocked down and get up again, except for the beginning, there are no such big casualties.
A large number of Xuanguo soldiers relied on the shield battle array 66 to rush to the bottom of the city wall, and then all of them were connected with shields on their heads, and at a certain angle, the stones and wood above their heads slid down without being injured and stoned to death.
Zhang Sheng and the three of them each commanded one side, and the three of them were divided into three sides to bless this shield on the city wall. And the soldiers defending the city were also unhurried under their command, either throwing wood and stones, or picking up bows and arrows and shooting a few arrows.
However, when the first wave of soldiers of the Xuan Kingdom hit the heel of the city wall, the defender could only shoot at the enemy in the distance, but the effect was greatly reduced. In desperation, Zhang Sheng and the others started the second step, in addition to rolling wood and stones, there was also a cauldron of hot oil that had been boiling for a long time.
"Pour oil!" ordered the soldiers to cut off the cauldron pulled by the mechanism, and dozens of pots of hot oil poured down the city wall.
It was in order to guard against such attacks that Emperor Xuan ordered his soldiers to rush to the city, put up their shields and wait. Now that the hot oil is finally on the field, the shield battle array has come in handy for a second purpose.
Even so, there are many Xuanguo soldiers who have been splashed with hot oil, and a large amount of toxic substances are added to the hot oil, and once they are touched, their skin will immediately begin to fester.
And this hot oil is very strange, it invades from the skin to the muscles, and quickly ferments inside the human body to make people swell and explode. Splashes of blood stained with others will also be poisoned, and then explosions will sound one after another.
The explosion of the human body is not a crunchy sound, but a creepy sound with a muffled sound. Dozens of pots of hot oil went down and rushed to the Xuanguo soldiers' shield battle array under the city wall, and a very short gap appeared, and the second wave of hot oil on Cheng's head followed.
"Set fire!" Zhang Sheng and the three of them gave the order at the same time, and the soldiers defending the city had already dipped the cloth wool in hot oil and threw it down the city.
"Boom!" The wood that had been thrown down was also soaked in oil, and it quickly burned when it encountered an open flame.
In addition, the fire of the hot oil that kept pouring suddenly broke out, trapping about 100,000 people in Xuanguo at the base of the city wall, and disconnected from the Xuanguo army.
"Attack!" Zhang Sheng and the other three were the first to jump off the city, and each team suddenly appeared on the edge of the city wall from the tunnel that had been prepared for a long time.
