Seeing that it would take some time for the enemy army to make various siege equipment, Guo Dafu began to swallow the pill and continue to cultivate, so as to accumulate for breaking through the innate realm in the future.

And Zhao Jie also led a group of subordinates to seize the time to make a few more sets of armor to enhance the combat power of the militia.

Soon, Guo Dafu advanced his cultivation to the Nine Great Consummations of the Day After Tomorrow, to the point where he could not advance, and his strength, agility, and spiritual power all reached the level of ninety-nine points.

It's a pity that it still takes a few hours for the innate pill in Qingzhou to be refined, so Guo Dafu can only go to see how the armor production progress is on Zhao Jie's side.

It turned out that because the scales of the black-scaled earth dragon beast were too hard, Zhao Jie had only punched holes for dozens of scales so far.

Guo Dafu tried it and found that this thing was indeed very hard, and if he wanted to punch a hole on it, even an acquired nine-fold master like him had some difficulty, and it took several minutes to finish a hole.

But Zhao Jie said that Guo Dafu is already very powerful, if they can also finish a hole in a few minutes, then I am afraid that this set of armor will be done a long time ago.

Just when Guo Dafu turned into a puncher in order to speed up the production progress of the armor, the army of steel-toothed rats had already launched the first round of tentative attacks.

The Steel-toothed Rat army was a large number of generals, and in the first tentative attack, more than 10,000 men and horses were dispatched, of which each wall had more than 3,000 troops.

However, most of the people involved in this wave of attacks were also those wild beasts that were coerced, and it was obvious that the rat-man commander of the steel-toothed rat was ready to use these guys as cannon fodder.

When the army of steel-toothed rats entered the distance of 800 meters, the giant bed crossbows in the arrow tower of Dawning City opened fire one after another, the maximum range of these things was actually thousands of meters, but in order to ensure the lethality, the soldiers in charge of controlling the bed crossbow waited until the enemy entered the range of 800 meters before shooting.

These bed crossbows not only have a long range, but also have a high accuracy, with two bangs, the two catapults burst directly, and the flying shards of wooden thorns pierced the rat soldiers responsible for pushing the catapults covered in blood. Although the other crossbow arrows did not hit the catapult, they also landed in the enemy formation not far from the catapult, and each of them penetrated at least seven or eight fierce beasts before it ran out of kinetic energy and stopped.

That little loss of troops was nothing to the steel-toothed rat army, but the damage of the two trebuchets made the rat-man commander of the steel-toothed rat army very angry, and immediately pushed a large number of giant tower shields under his men to block the front of those catapults.

These giant shields are more than three meters high, made of fine hardwood more than twenty centimeters thick, and then covered with several layers of animal skin, the outermost layer of iron sheet, extremely strong defense.

Even the giant bed crossbow that Guo Dafu bought from the mall could only penetrate more than half of it at most, but could not completely shoot through.

With the cover of these giant tower shields, the catapults were able to slowly approach the city walls, and finally when they were about two hundred meters closer, they stopped and began to reload the stone projectiles and prepare to fire.

"It seems that the level of craftsmen on the other side is not very good! The catapult had to get so close to get into effective range! After Dr. Zhang saw this scene, he couldn't help but sneer.

Then, in the next second, a huge stone projectile was thrown out by the catapult, and smashed towards the wall where he was with the whirring sound of breaking wind.

"I'll go!"

Dr. Zhang looked at the landing point of this stone bullet, how to look at it and how he felt that it was coming towards him, so in a hurry, Dr. Zhang could only jump down from the wall more than three meters high with a foul mouth.

As a result, after a loud bang, Dr. Zhang found that the stone bomb finally smashed on the wall, smashing the outermost hardwood wall to peel off a piece of bark, but the city wall itself was not much damaged, which shows that those pioneers were still very careful when building the city wall, and the gravel and soil in the middle of the wall were compacted in place.

While Dr. Zhang rubbed his aching buttocks and slowly got up from the ground, more than a dozen other enemy catapults also fired stone projectiles and smashed them all over the city wall.

In the second round of shooting, a stone bullet happened to hit the unfinished wall on the west side, and suddenly the wall that was not supported by rubble and dirt was smashed into a depression on the spot.

The nezumi commander, who had been watching from the rear, was overjoyed and immediately ordered all the catapults to concentrate their fire on that section of the wall.

And Guo Dafu, who had just returned to the city wall, also ordered the six bed crossbows to concentrate on attacking those tower shields, wanting to destroy them, and then attack the catapults in the rear. Other crossbowmen also fired rockets to burn the enemy's siege equipment.

Finally, one of the tower shields could not support under the bombardment of the giant crossbow arrows, and after another giant crossbow arrow was fired, it was shot to pieces on the spot, and the remaining giant crossbow arrows then hit a nezumi warrior behind the tower shield who was loading the catapult with stone bullets, and the sharp arrows easily pierced his chest, nailing him to the ground.

It's a pity that the enemy's catapults are too many, Guo Dafu and their side attacked with all their might, and in the end they only had time to destroy two giant tower shields and a trebuchet, and that section of the unfinished city wall was already completely smashed under the opponent's concentrated fire attack.

Looking at the collapsed city wall, the roar of excitement of the fierce beasts immediately sounded in the army of steel-toothed rats.

The wild beasts that were originally driven into the field as cannon fodder did not need to be urged by the overseers in the rear, and they saw the opportunity to rush towards the gap in the collapsed western city wall.

As early as the beginning, Guo Dafu had made a tactical plan after the destruction of the city wall, and as soon as the city wall was broken, several groups of soldiers immediately began to change formations according to the previous arrangement.

Different from the angle guarding tactics in the first city defense battle, Guo Dafu used the scissor formation method in the whole battle this time, only to see two teams of spear and shield soldiers, along both sides of the gap in the city wall, lined up inward into a V-shaped formation, as if the two blades of a pair of scissors, waiting for the enemy to enter and cut it.

This formation allows the spear and shield soldiers to avoid the frontal impact of the enemy, give the enemy damage from both sides at the same time, and the smaller the space is the further inside, it can squeeze the enemy's activity space well, and when the crossbowmen come to the enemy army that is squeezed together, they can easily kill these enemy troops who have no room to dodge.

At this time, the situation also developed according to Guo Dafu's plan, after those fierce beasts rushed into the gap in the city wall, they faced the sharp spears that kept stabbing from both sides, and they all involuntarily concentrated in the middle, trying to avoid the assassination of these spears, and then they were pushed by their companions in the rear and involuntarily continued to advance.

Some of the stronger beasts forcibly rushed against the current to both sides, and the halberders who had been waiting behind the spear and shield soldiers would wave their halberds of more than three meters, slash and stab them fiercely, and kill these fierce beasts.

Under such multiple insurances, the remaining fierce beasts could only follow Guo Dafu's plan, and they were involuntarily pushed forward, and the last head was squeezed together, and they couldn't even stretch their hands and feet.

At this time, with Guo Dafu's order, the crossbowmen who had been waiting for a long time on the three city walls released arrows one after another, and the dense arrows like a storm suddenly fell into the group of murderers, and almost in the blink of an eye, the first wave of hundreds of fierce beasts rushed into the city to shoot, because the fierce beasts were too dense, those powerful winch crossbows, the crossbow arrows shot out could often penetrate the bodies of two or three low-level fierce beasts, and these poor little things were strung into sugar gourds.

The fierce beasts in the rear, who had just rushed through the gap in the city wall, saw the miserable fate of their companions in front of them, and they were so frightened that they screamed again and again, and they refused to move forward, and some of them were even frightened to the point of dung and urine.

It's a pity that these fierce beasts who see the situation ahead are a few after all, although they try to stop moving forward and want to withdraw again, but there are more companions behind them, pushing them forward, and finally involuntarily fall into this deadly trap of the enemy.

Guo Dafu looked at the fierce beasts that were quickly eliminated in waves, his face was neither sad nor joyful, and a pair of eyes were scanning among the fierce beasts outside, preventing the enemy masters from sneaking up and destroying the formation.

Sure enough, Guo Dafu's precautions were very necessary, just when the third wave of fierce beasts was also pushed into the scissor array, and was about to be killed by random arrows, a rat warrior suddenly burst out from the group of fierce beasts below, jumped onto the city wall with just one leap, and then was about to kill those crossbowmen on the city wall.

This orc warrior seems to have at least the acquired seven-fold cultivation, and the weapon in his hand is very strange, behind it is a hardwood gun body of nearly two meters, but the front end is composed of three sharp beast claws, which looks like a half-open bird claw.

And just as this orc warrior waved the weapon in his hand to grab one of the militia crossbowmen, Guo Dafu's halberd came first, and the halberd smashed on a sharp claw at the front of the opponent.

This blow Guo Dafu also consumed internal force to stimulate the body and strengthen the strength, so the force of this blow was at least more than 10,000 kilograms, and the terrible huge force directly shocked the weapon in the hand of the rat warrior and flew out, and then without waiting for the other party to come to his senses, Guo Dafu had already taken a step closer, and as soon as the halberd in his hand was sent, the sharp tip of the spear stabbed the opponent's chest like lightning, easily tearing the iron armor on the opponent's body, and penetrating the entire chest.

As Guo Dafu withdrew his halberd, a large stream of blood poured out from the wound on his chest, and the orc warrior looked down at the pair of wounds on his chest, although his eyes were full of unwillingness, his body still fell on his back, becoming the first rat general-level master to die in this battle.

This may also be true of the old saying: the stranger the weapon, the faster it will die!
