In front of Lianyun Pass, more than 15,000 Wei County troops had already lined up.

At the forefront, two thousand Mo sword troops held fine iron shields, forming the first and only solid defensive line.

Four thousand Yuanrong crossbowmen, armed with Yuanrong Yuanrong crossbows, moved steadily under the protection of the Modao Army.

In the rear, the 8,000 Yuan crossbowmen waited in two queues.

As long as the Yuanrong crossbowmen who went into battle for the first time finished shooting the crossbow arrows in their hands, they would make up for them in an orderly manner.

Two thousand white horse servants changed into longbows one after another, and under the leadership of Zhao Yun, they looked for fighters and entered the battlefield.

On the top of the mountain in the distance, Li Yue couldn't help but nod secretly when he saw this scene.

In such a tough battle, it is indeed necessary to slowly explore the strength of both sides and find out what level of resistance the other side has.

Lian Yun closed, looking at the army of warriors approaching in an orderly manner below, Qin Meng's brows furrowed.

Just by virtue of his momentum, he could feel the extraordinaryness of the two thousand warriors who raised their shields to block the front.

And the archer behind him was not holding an ordinary longbow, but a weapon that he had never seen before, and he didn't know how strong it was.

In this first wave of offensive, the other party was obviously too cautious, which made him a little aggrieved.

You can only order the defenders to wait for the opponent to come within range before attacking.

He can't completely expose the strength of his side all at once, he needs time now, waiting for the follow-up reinforcements to arrive.

The other party definitely needs to seize time, as long as he can persevere, the opponent's main general will definitely panic if he can't attack for a long time, as long as he panics, there will be flaws.

However, this time it was 6,000 warriors who launched an attack on the opposite side, and he directly mobilized an army of 10,000 to attack.

The remaining twenty thousand, five thousand are responsible for transporting supplies, and the remaining fifteen thousand have reached the city walls, waiting for replacements.

As for the remaining army of 3,000 warriors, they are completely at the back of the checkpoint, waiting for orders at any time.

If you really can't resist it, you can directly switch it off and fight with the opponent in close combat.

With his own powerhouse of the Martial Sect Consummation Realm in charge, and ten martial artists, he can also play a certain blocking role.

Of course, this scenario is the worst-case scenario, and he is not prepared to use this plan unless it is absolutely necessary.

Just as he was thinking, the Wei County army had already entered the attack range of the defenders, and he hurriedly raised his arms and shouted: "Attack!" ”

As soon as the order fell, Lian Yun closed, and tens of thousands of shoots began to gush arrows.

Below, seeing that the other party was attacking, Li Ye hurriedly ordered: "Stop advancing and hold on with all your might." ”

At the same time, the Yuan Rong crossbowmen behind the Mo Dao Army moved forward one after another, hiding under the high shield.

"Ding—"

"Ding—"

Endless arrows, like raindrops, frantically poured on the fine iron shield in the hands of the Mo Dao Army.

Looking at the legion below that had stopped advancing, Qin Meng's frowning brows eased a little.

Behind, Han Xin and the others frowned slightly when they saw this scene.

They all got serious, this is only the second level, and it is really not bad to have such a terrifying defensive power.

However, even if this is the case, they must take the level before it gets dark.

Otherwise, when the defenders of Xiyun County and the reinforcements from the first checkpoint arrived, they would be in a dangerous situation.

It's just that it's useless to be anxious now, you have to find out the reality of the other party.

Two minutes later, Li Ye felt the tinkling sound on the shield slow down a bit, and immediately spoke: "Prepare to change formations!" ”

Three seconds later, the steel defensive wall originally composed of the Mo Sword Army changed instantly, and I saw that the shield that was originally a whole was scattered into a hundred independent shield walls.

Each independent shield wall consisted of twenty Modao troops, providing a sturdy fortification for forty Yuan Rong crossbow troops.

It can be said that if there is no Modao Army in this battle, the loss may increase several times.

Still, the battle is still scorching.

At the moment when the shield array changed, the Yuanrong crossbow army behind the shield wall also launched an attack on Lianyun Pass.

At this time, the horror of the Yuan Rong crossbow was highlighted.

Although the pass is very high, the powerful power of the Yuanrong crossbow, coupled with the increase of white rising, this pass is still within the shooting range of the Yuanrong crossbow.

Not to mention that the Yuanrong crossbow army is an excellent soldier who has undergone long-term training, even if it is an ordinary soldier, holding such a sharp weapon and shooting indiscriminately at the pass, it will also cause great damage to the defenders above.

With a 1 in 50 chance, there will always be a shot at the enemy.

In an instant, countless arrows were shot towards the Lianyun Pass.

Many of the defenders who did not have time to react were shot to the ground.

In this moment alone, thousands of people died under the crossbow arrows above the pass.

In an instant, the tide of the battle was reversed, and the Wei County army gradually gained the upper hand.

Seeing this casualty, Qin Meng, who was originally a little lax, was slightly stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ordered.

"Don't be cowardly, give me a counterattack."

"We have strong fortifications, and the opponent's manpower fortifications will not last long."

"Shoot hard at me, break through their defenses, these archers will become windless duckweed, Ren Er and others will shoot at will!"

At the same time, he sent all the remaining 10,000 people to increase the firepower.

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow came at him.

I saw that his eyes were slightly angry, and a terrifying spiritual power surged up, forming a defensive shield in front of him.

The arrow fell on it, completely crushed into powder, and dissipated with the wind.

This scene made him even angrier, and he said: "Give me all my strength, don't give these traitors a chance to stand out." ”

However, only one of his own defenders was shot in response.

Just kidding, can their attack of 10,000 yuan be comparable to 4,000 yuan crossbowmen.

The 4,000 Yuan Rong crossbowmen on the front line were divided into four rounds alternately, each round was a thousand people attacking, and each person quickly shot out 50 arrows, this time it was 50,000 arrows.

The four of them alternated and launched an attack on Lianyun Pass without interruption.

At first, they may have to spend more time aiming at the perforations above the pass, but after a few turns, they become more and more proficient.

As soon as the probes fired in a fixed direction, many of the defenders at the perforation were shot directly as soon as they probed.

In just ten minutes, more than 4,000 defenders were shot.

From the beginning of the attack by the Yuanrong crossbowmen, the number of dead soldiers of Lianyunguan has now approached eight thousand.

Hearing this terrifying battle damage, Qin Meng couldn't help but gasp.

At this time, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't force the warriors to go to the locations marked as death holes.

Instead, they concentrate all their forces on the positions where the enemy has not yet been able to shoot in the first place.

As soon as this strategy was implemented, it did achieve good results.

Not only did it deal an effective blow to the enemy attacking from below, but it also suffered much less losses.

However, at this moment, with a clang, the attacking army below actually retreated.

This scene made all the defenders puzzled.

Even Qin Meng was a little puzzled, and for a while he couldn't figure out what the other party's strategy was.

The other party obviously has the upper hand now, how could he choose to retreat, if he was the commander on the opposite side, he would definitely not choose to retreat at such a time.
