Chapter 361: Robbery while the fire is on

The first batch of troops to attack the city was enough to have as many as ten corps, and the 100,000-strong phalanx was divided into two rows in front and back, advancing in unison, and with each step, the soldiers of the two armies of You Yan hit their shields with weapons, making a deafening roar, which could boost the morale of their own charge, and greatly deter the enemy.

Looking back, it is the main army of the You Yan coalition army, they are standing on the edge of the outer city of Jiangyang, looking around, the crowds are surging, overwhelming, countless counts, and there is no edge in sight. There is no need to do anything, the strength of the You Yan Coalition Army alone is enough to make any opponent frightened.

Even if Lin Haotian personally went into battle, seeing the strength of the You Yan coalition army, the morale of the Jin army was still half a head shorter.

Lin Haotian understood the psychology of the soldiers of the Fifth Legion, and seeing the enemy army getting closer and closer to the city wall, he shouted: " Brothers of the Fifth Legion, listen, today's battle, you are not fighting for me, you are fighting for yourself, only by holding the city, everyone can save their lives, once the city is broken, none of you can escape, all of you will die at the hands of the enemy, this battle, our army only has the enemy, we must not take half a step back, if you still want to go home alive and reunite with your relatives, then give me the momentum, kill all the enemies, let the enemy understand, our Jin army has no weak brigade!"

Lin Haotian's words aroused the desire of the soldiers of the Fifth Legion to survive, and at the same time, it also made people feel a kind of warmth, the adults did not regard these wooden people as outsiders, but as part of the Golden Army, which made the soldiers of the Sixth Legion regain their sense of belonging.

"Gold, gold, gold—"

The morale of the soldiers of the Fifth Legion was raised, and they shouted in unison, this was the first time they shouted the name of the Kingdom of Jin.

Seeing this, Lin Haotian took a deep breath, turned around, and stared at the enemy troops outside the city. Silently calculate the distance in your heart. When the You Yan coalition army was less than a hundred steps away from the city wall, Lin Haotian drew a single knife, swung it outward, and shouted: "Release the arrow!"

"Arrow-"

His orders were conveyed one by one by the generals of the Fifth Legion, and there was a pause, then a buzz. Ten thousand arrows shot at the head of Jiangyang City, as if a cloud of black smoke rose in the sky, flew into the air, and then drew an arc, roaring to the ground in the camp of the You Yan coalition army.

The soldiers of the You Yan coalition army were rushing forward, and before many of them could react, they were continuously shot in the head and chest by arrows, and they fell to the ground on their backs. I saw that the camp of the You Yan coalition army was originally neatly aligned. But after a rain of arrows, the camp in front had become a sieve, full of holes, and there were vacancies left by casualties everywhere.

The Fifth Legion may not be good at hand-to-hand combat, but the archery is definitely first-class, and at this time, on the city walls, the power of the condescending shot is doubled. Even if the You Yan coalition army raised its shield, it couldn't completely parry, and when it advanced. From time to time, people are still hit by arrows and fall to the ground.

The corps in front suffered heavy casualties, but the overall formation of the You Yan coalition army still moved forward.

When the enemy army was fifty paces away from the city wall, Lin Haotian ordered to use a crossbow and bow without aim, just shoot at the enemy's formation. The range of a crossbow is already much longer than that of a regular bow and arrow. Now that the enemy was less than fifty paces away from the city wall, the crossbow arrows penetrated the crowd with greater power.

A single crossbow arrow shot into the camp of the Youyan coalition army can pierce a column of people until the crossbow arrow is nailed to the ground. Fortunately, most of the crossbows in the Jin army were damaged during the Battle of Twin Peaks. Otherwise, the lethality brought to the You Yan coalition army would be immeasurable.

The You Yan coalition army of the ten corps, against the rain of arrows and crossbow arrows flying down from their heads, rushed to the foot of Jinyang City. This was only a hundred paces away, but it cost the You Yan coalition army more than 10,000 casualties.

When the Youyan coalition army reached the city wall, the morale also rose to the peak, people set up cloud ladders, and climbed to the city with all their might, and the Jin army at the head of the city threw arrows and rolling stones at the same time, and the battle between the two sides entered the white heat.

At this point in the battle, the You army took on the main task of attacking the city. First, the You Army has a fierce fighting style and is good at attacking cities and villages, and second, the armor of the You Army is light and suitable for quickly climbing ladders.

The You army was in front, the Yan army was covering behind, and the people lined up in several rows to shoot at Jin in the city.

The red-eyed You army was very fierce, and he rushed up to kill regardless of it, plus Jiangyang is a small city, and the city wall is not high, even if Lin Haotian personally commands the battle at the head of the city on the Jin army's side, it is still difficult to resist.

Soon, there were several places in the city that were broken through by the You army, Lin Haotian saw this, and immediately sent the generals around him to Lu, where the enemy broke through, he would go to the top.

As the fighting between the two sides intensified, there were fewer and fewer generals around Lin Haotian, and even Shao Lin and Tong Lei, who were close to him, were sent by him.

Even so, the form of the Jin army is still precarious, there are dangers everywhere, and there are emergencies everywhere.

This is only the vanguard siege force of the enemy's 100,000 troops, if the enemy's brigade of men and horses is also killed, will Jiangyang still be able to hold it? Thinking of this, Lin Haotian was very anxious, and it was not a way to go on like this.

While he was pondering what to do, an arrow suddenly flew from under the city, from the bottom up, straight to his eyebrows.

Lin Haotian didn't notice the city, and when the arrow flew closer, he realized that it was not good, and his body subconsciously flashed to the side.

"Sand!"

The cold arrow swept past Lin Haotian's temple, and its arrow edge also cut a bloody mark on his forehead.

Damn! Lin Haotian didn't dare to be careless anymore, lifted his armor up, and lowered his head to look down at the city.

Under the city wall, You Jun was climbing towards the city wall with all his might, while the Yan army was lining up on the periphery, constantly firing arrows at the city, and the arrow that almost hit Lin Haotian just now was shot by the Yan army.

At the head of the city, many Jin troops were shot by arrows flying from under the city when they threw rolling logs and stones, or fell on their backs, or planted down the city wall, it can be said that the threat of the Yan army to the Jin army was not inferior to the You army that charged ahead.

Lin Haotian secretly gritted his teeth, turned his head sideways and shouted: "Shao Lin!"

As soon as his words fell, the figure around him flashed, and Shao Lin had appeared beside him, "My lord?"

Lin Haotian said in a deep voice: "Pick a few brothers and follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!"

The archers of the Yan army are too much of a threat to their own side, and with the help of their arrows, it is difficult for them to resist the charge of the You army, and they must disrupt the arrow array of the Yan army under the city.

Hearing that he was going out of the city to kill the enemy, Shao Lin's heart was shocked, but he didn't say anything, answered yes, and turned away.

It didn't take long for Shao Lin to come back with more than a dozen of the best of the Demon Martial Arts.

Lin Haotian glanced at everyone, and then said, "Come with me!" As he spoke, he walked along the city wall to the west, Shao Lin and more than a dozen demonic martial artists followed closely behind Lin Haotian.

Along the way, there were many places that had been broken through by Sergeant You, and the soldiers of the Jin Army resisted desperately, and the enemy army who had just rushed to the city was forced to stand down.

As soon as Lin Haotian walked by, the Xuantie Han Halberd was tightly held in his hand, and when he saw an enemy army showing his head, he swung his knife and slashed.

Lin Haotian killed as he walked, and when he came to the residential area outside the city, he stopped and said to Shao Lin and the others behind him: "Let's go down from here, the target is the Yan Army's arrow array, no matter what, we must disrupt it!"

"My lord, my subordinates understand!" Shao Lin and the others nodded in response.

Lin Haotian didn't say much, leaned over and looked at the city, saw the dead corner of a private courtyard, flashed over with a hurry, Shao Lin and the others were not slow, and the elites of more than ten demon martial artists moved their steps one after another and entered the residential area outside the city.

At this time, there were also a lot of You Yan coalition troops gathered in the private houses, and the Yan army either climbed on the roof or stepped on the courtyard wall, shooting cold arrows at the city from time to time, and as for the courtyard, it became a place for the You Yan coalition army to park the wounded soldiers, and it was full of wounded soldiers.

Lin Haotian suddenly flashed in, causing the wounded soldiers to exclaim, and people still didn't know whether this suddenly appeared and wore black armor as a friend or foe.

Looking at the surprised expressions on people's faces, Lin Haotian raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, between the swings of the Xuantie Han Halberd, a faint aura permeated the body of the knife, and then, his figure was like an arrow off the string, rushing into the wounded soldiers, the halberd was opened, and the wounded soldiers around him launched a crazy slash.
