After leaving the county office, Duan Shaojun and the others ran all the way towards the Nancheng Tower.

In the middle of the road, the sound of gunfire on the south gate came in an endless stream, which shocked the residents of the county town.

After a while, Duan Shaojun finally arrived at the south city gate, quickly climbed the city tower, and looked outside the city, only to see the sound of killing outside the city shaking the sky, and more than a dozen fierce leopards joined the array, holding high the thick shield, and constantly advancing forward.

All the Gatling heavy machine guns above and below the city wall are constantly strafing the enemy's battle formation, and at this time, Sun Monkey is commanding the bazooka detachment and mortar detachment, constantly firing at the camp in front, but what makes Duan Shaojun angry is that the enemy's more than a dozen Hegang battle arrays are obviously still a mile away from the city gate, and they are not the range of bazookas at all, but these bazooka launcher gates are still firing outside the city in panic.

One rocket after another dragged a long tail of flames, whistling and spraying out, but without exception, none of the rockets could hit the target, and all of them fell on the open space in front of the battle array, causing the originally potholed ground to burst into flames and smoke.

Seeing this scene, Duan Shaojun was mad and shouted angrily on the spot: "Sun Monkey, you come over for me!"

Hearing the call of the master, Sun Monkey ran to Duan Shaojun with a sweat on his head, "Great, you are finally here, now you are still the head of the sect and you are personally commanding the battle, the disciple is not competent." ”

Duan Shaojun scolded angrily: "You idiot, how did I explain before, the effective attack distance of the bazooka is around 100 zhang, and the enemy is at least a mile away from the city gate, why waste ammunition!"

Sun Monkey kept gasping and said: "Today's guys are really too cunning, more than a dozen of them are in a row, advancing and retreating together, and they don't break into a mile at all, as long as we cease fire, they will rush in at an accelerated pace." Counterattacking the city walls with elephant crossbows, they quickly withdrew from the range of the rocket launchers as soon as our fire was fierce, and did not give us a chance to cease fire and rest at all. And our mortars can't break their battle formations. ”

Hearing this, Duan Shaojun was furious and shouted: "Don't you know about the ceasefire? Don't you know how to lure the enemy in? As long as they enter within a hundred zhang, when the time comes, heavy machine guns, bazookas, and mortars will fire together, and their battle formation will be disintegrated in an instant!"

Seeing that the head was angry, Sun Monkey said with a sad face: "Where do we dare to let them enter within a hundred zhang, these Hegang battle formations, as long as they enter within one mile." Their crossbows can pose a threat to the city's defenses! On our side, dozens of people have been killed and wounded, all of which were done by elephant crossbows!"

"Elephant crossbow?"

Duan Shaojun's face sank, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see the inside of the city gate. On the pavement against the city wall, there were dozens of corpses of Dingshan disciples, among these corpses, there were three machine gunners, two rocket launchers, and dozens of new disciples in charge of logistics.

All of these people died in the same condition, and the corpses were pierced by something powerful and powerful. The injuries were all in fatal places such as the head and chest.

Duan Shaojun took a deep breath and said in shock: "What kind of weapon is the elephant crossbow, why is their killing range actually as high as four or five hundred meters, if this is the case, then the threat of these regular troops in the state city to us is too great......

"Boss. Be careful!"

Before the words fell, suddenly, Duan Shaojun only heard a "buzzing" sound of breaking wind in his ears, and he was secretly feeling strange, and suddenly saw Sun Monkey exclaiming. Throw yourself to the ground.

"Phew!"

At the moment when Duan Shaojun was pounced on by Sun Monkey, a crossbow arrow made of pure steel with the thickness of a thumb, nearly one and a half meters long, flew over their heads like lightning and stuck deep into the wall behind them.

After Duan Shaojun saw the ferocity of this crossbow arrow, his pupils contracted sharply, and now, he was sure that this pure steel crossbow arrow must have been shot by the elephant crossbow.

Obviously, after he ascended the tower, he attracted the attention of the regular army outside the city, and now, the elephant crossbow hidden in the dozen cheetah arrays has quietly listed him as the primary target for shooting.

Now, for the sake of his own safety, he must hide in the battlements and not easily reveal his figure, otherwise, once the enemy outside the city shoots a few fierce crossbows, he can't guarantee that his luck is as good as just now every time, besides, if it wasn't for Sun Monkey's timely rescue just now, it is estimated that he is already a corpse at this moment.

Thinking of this, Duan Shaojun hurriedly rolled over and hid under the battlements, and at this time, Sun Monkey also followed closely.

Duan Shaojun glanced up at him and said gratefully: "Sun Monkey, you saved my life today, I, Duan Shaojun, remember it!"

Sun Monkey touched the back of his head and smiled, looking a little embarrassed.

Looking through the battlements of the city wall, Duan Shaojun saw more than a dozen fierce leopard arrays, and under the acceleration of progress, there were already five battle formations within a mile of the city gate, and what surprised him even more was that they rushed into the front of the Hegang battle array, constantly shooting out pure steel crossbow arrows, and those crossbow arrows shot towards the city wall like lightning.

At this time, a group of disciples who were defending under the city wall shouted and shouted to hide under the battlements, and suddenly, the firepower on the side of the city tower was instantly reduced a lot, and more than a dozen Hegang arrays outside the city saw this, and quickly advanced more than ten zhang, anyway, it was more than four hundred meters away, and it was towards the south city wall, frantically firing elephant crossbows.

For a while, hundreds of powerful crossbow arrows made a whining sound of breaking the wind, enveloping the South City Tower.

Now, the only thing above the city tower that is not disturbed by the elephant crossbow is the mortar detachment.

Duan Shaojun squatted under the battlements, bent down at those mortar shooters, and ordered loudly: "All mortar shooters, don't stop, give me a bombardment of the army outside the city until it shatters their formation!"

"Obey, master!" After hearing the order, dozens of mortar shooters accelerated their firing speed, firing the few shells that were already left.

At this time, Duan Shaojun turned his head to Sun Monkey and ordered: "Sun Monkey, you immediately order, order all machine gunners and bazooka launchers, stop the attack for the time being, wait for the time to mature, and then listen to my orders!"

"Yes, Master!" After receiving the order from the Master, Sun Monkey immediately went to all parts of the city wall to convey Duan Shaojun's order.

After making a series of arrangements, Duan Shaojun looked up again and looked outside the city, only to see that the dozen or so Fierce Leopard Arrays outside the city were very embarrassed under the bombardment of twenty mortars.

Especially hiding in the last three Hegang battle arrays, under the bombardment of a large number of mortars, there were many gaps in the blood-red Gangqi shield. Under the command of several Hegang generals, they were gradually retreating backwards, intending to withdraw from the range of the mortars.

It is said that ants bite elephants to death, and this is true, although the penetration and armor-piercing ability of mortars cannot be compared with heavy machine guns and rockets, but its covering bombing power still makes those Hegang battle formations cry bitter.

In just a few moments, two hundred mortar shells were thrown outside the city from the top of the South City Tower, and most of these shells hit the target.

Being hit by so many mortar shells, half of the more than a dozen Flame Leopard Formations were already covered by the Gang Qi Shield, showing a bleak trend.

These details on the battlefield were all keenly observed by Duan Shaojun, and at the same time, he also found a very important thing, that is, those extremely powerful elephant crossbows just now, it seems that after each Hegang battle array, after launching dozens of them, there is no ability to continue firing, I don't know if they have a limited number of crossbow arrows, or if they need to consume a lot of Gang Qi or something to launch this kind of powerful elephant crossbow.

Anyway, now the dozen or so battle formations outside the city are all bluffing within a mile outside the city, charging back and forth and shouting to kill, but they don't see them really rushing up to attack the city.

Seeing this scene, Duan Shaojun was puzzled and secretly guessed the enemy's purpose.

The regular army entrenched outside the city, their purpose is obvious, that is, to send more than a dozen fierce leopard formations to carry out harassing feints against the defensive forces on the south city tower, mainly to exhaust Duan Shaojun's weapons and ammunition for defending the city.

After the fiasco of the last siege of the vanguard army, the remaining vanguard troops learned a valuable lesson in the tragedy, and at the same time, they also discovered the weakness of Duan Shaojun's arms and weapons.

For example, the biggest threat to the Hegang battle array on Duan Shaojun's side was the bazooka, but the attack distance of the bazooka was limited, only three or four hundred meters, so those regular troops took advantage of the defects of the bazooka and began to forcibly brave the bombardment of mortars and heavy machine guns, approaching within one mile of the city gate, and also used the elephant crossbow to counterattack.

What is certain is that the regular army's move is very effective, after their feint attack and harassment just now, the ammunition inventory above the southern city defense is depleted very quickly, which is very unfavorable to Duan Shaojun, he must lead everyone to get rid of this passive situation.

Thinking of this, Duan Shaojun summoned Sun Monkey to him from a long distance and asked, "How much ammunition is left above the southern city defense?"

Sun Monkey said with some concern: "Tell the master, after some inquiries just now, there are less than 20,000 rounds of ammunition for thirty heavy machine guns in the southern city defense, and there are only twenty rockets left, as for the mortar shells, they are almost finished." ”

Duan Shaojun's heart sank, and he said, "Didn't I ask you to transfer weapons and ammunition from Beicheng Defense before, didn't you do it?"

Sun Monkey hurriedly said: "I have already carried out according to the order of the master, we have transferred five heavy machine guns, ten rocket launchers, and five mortars from the Beicheng Defense, anyway, there are not many weapons and ammunition left in the Beicheng Defense." At the moment, things seem to be a little bad!"

Duan Shaojun took a deep breath and calmly ordered him: "Sun Monkey, you tell everyone to stay calm, don't panic, I'll summon a new firearm to help later, and guarantee that all the dozen or so Hegang battle formations will be destroyed......"
