Chapter 81: The Battle of the Defending the City

"So the real effect of these shrubs is their burning ashes!" said Bella Thorne, wiping the beads of sweat from her head.

Bella Thorne didn't know Cotton as well as Yun Longjian, and the Dark Witch Emperor's army had just rushed to the city, which made him nervous and sweaty.

"The ash stains produced by the burning of this bush will be very corrosive on the body, even the steel will be corroded, not to mention their flesh and skin? What's even more interesting is that these guys don't wear shoes to cooperate with us, it's really embarrassing for them" Cotton laughed very humorously, as if the army of hundreds of thousands outside the city was nothing at all.

This is the style of a general! Yun Longjian secretly admired.

"Actually, these shrub ashes are much more than that, if you look at them, they still look like an army?

Everyone looked down at the city, and the dark wizard army could still see what formation, and their formation had scattered their own people.

"Now order the archers, trebuchet archers, and crossbow shooters, give me enough strength to shoot, the Dark Witch Emperor's army is now in such a dense formation, even a fool will hurt people if he shoots an arrow!"

"Yes!" the herald waved a banner to the herald tower in the center of the city.

The defenders were all backed by the bunkers of the city walls, and they were ordered to look at the herald tower in the middle of the city, and several heralds on the tower had flags to give battle orders.

Wu Xiang has been sitting at the back of the army, and this guy is cunning enough, even if the army leader drives in, he still keeps a safe distance from the city, and uses the Thousand Eyes to watch the battle.

In the eyes of Wu Xiang, his army had rushed to the city, and the resistance army did not even have the least resistance, but the soldiers who arrived at the city did not climb the city wall, but jumped and shouted under the city.

"Kill, kill the city wall, what are they doing?" the witch stomped his feet in the distance.

Suddenly, a dark cloud rose from the city and enveloped the army of the witch.

No, not dark clouds, but a dense patch of feathered arrows, stones, and powerful bird-winged crossbow arrows!

How could it be? Didn't it mean that the defenders only had more than 10,000 men? Even if they had more archers, it would be 35,000 people? How could it be that such a dense number of arrows could be fired? Wu Xiang was stunned!

Wu Xiang's intelligence is not wrong, there are indeed only more than 10,000 people in the city, and the archers are more than 2,000 people, but why can't they have such a dense bow and arrow?

The natural crossbows covered by the city walls, the triggers are all connected by silk threads, as long as the silk thread is pulled, there will be dozens or even hundreds of crossbow arrows shot, a shooter can pull dozens of such silk threads at a time, how can it not shoot such a dense crossbow arrows at one time? There are also trebuchets, which have long been in position, as long as the warrior cuts the rope with a knife, the boulder can be thrown, do you still need a shooter?

In short, no matter whether the witch minister figured it out or not, the dense long-range attacks still smashed into his army.

The Dark Witch Emperor's army trampled on each other, and even the defenders above the city felt miserable.

"Retreat, retreat!" the witch screamed.

The horn of retreat sounded again, it was okay not to blow this horn, and after getting the order to retreat, the soldiers of the Black Witch Emperor's army hated their father and mother for giving them two legs, and the disorderly retreat began.

The soldiers who stumbled or were injured and fell to the ground were instantly overwhelmed by the retreating crowd, and when the Dark Witch Emperor's army pushed down, there were few living mouths in the end, and even those with breath were trampled into crushed fractures all over their bodies.

The sum of those who were shot to death and those who were trampled to death made the Dark Witch Emperor's army suffer twenty or thirty thousand casualties in this charge.

"Why are you retreating? Don't you know that the defeat is like a mountain?" a Dark Witch Emperor general glared at Wu Xiang?

Wizardry is certainly a genius when it comes to witchcraft. However, he had no experience in the big battle, and after the horn of retreat was blown just now, the scene was even more chaotic, and he knew that his command had made a mistake, but in the face of the general's questioning, he did not admit it: "Can you control the situation if you don't give the order to retreat? If you don't give the order to retreat, will you let the soldiers stay where they are and wait to be shot?"

"There will be large casualties in the siege battle, we have already reached the city, even if the soldiers in front of us die, what if the warriors behind us can still step on their corpses and rush to the city wall to avenge them, besides, you look at their bows and arrows, how long can they hold out with such a dense bow and arrow? As long as we gradually stabilize the formation, our rattan players can naturally block most of the bows and arrows, and now you order a retreat, won't you let the dead warriors die in vain!"

In fact, this general is right, there are indeed not many arrows in the city of the coalition army, and it is really difficult to continue with such intensive shooting.

"Hmph, when will it be your turn to teach me how to use soldiers? How do you know that there are not enough arrows in the city?"

Wu Xiang was about to say a few more words, when suddenly the gate of the coalition army opened, and a large number of soldiers ran out, pulling arrows from the dead soldiers.

"Do you still need me to say it, see for yourself!" the general looked at Wu Xiang with disdain.

Wu Xiang's face suddenly turned pale, "Okay, since you are good at commanding, I will give you the right to command, if you can't take the city, be careful of your head!"

"Okay, I'll let you see how the battle went!" The general was good enough, and he agreed to it.

"Cavalry preparation, rush to the city gate before those defenders and soldiers advance, and be sure not to let their drawbridges be pulled! The rest of the troops attack according to the conventional siege tactics and formations, pay attention, those gray stains are problematic, and when you get there, you must clean up the gray trails and advance!" the general commanded.

On the wall of the coalition army, Moon Elf General Cotton looked at Yun Longjian: "This time it's your turn to perform, you must defeat their arrogance!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, you guys will take a look at the city!" Yun Longjian said nonchalantly with the 'Dragon Root Pestle' in his hand.

"Rush me!" the Dark Witch Emperor General gave an order, and the Dark Witch Emperor's soldiers, who had just retreated to safety and had not had time to catch their breath, launched another attack on the coalition city.

At the forefront were the cavalry units, whose task was to seize the city gates and hold the drawbridges, and this cavalry unit rushed towards the main city gate like a gust of wind when they heard the order.

There are still a large number of Resistance soldiers outside the city gate, they are collecting feather arrows, so it can be seen that there are indeed not many feather arrows in the city, otherwise they would not have ventured out to collect them now, and when they saw the cavalry facing them, these Resistance soldiers didn't care about the feather arrows, so they turned around and ran.

But the defenders in the city were so unconscionable that when they saw the cavalry rushing to the city gate, they did not hesitate to pull up the drawbridge regardless of the lives of the soldiers who were picking up feathered arrows outside.
