As the distance between the two sides continued to grow, the archers above the city soon joined the battle, and waves of arrows rained down from the sky, enveloping these cannon fodder.

These cannon fodder, who didn't even have a decent piece of armor on their bodies, only carried some rudimentary wooden shields, and under the blow of the rain of arrows, they immediately suffered heavy losses.

While those cannon fodder were quickly killed and injured by the enemy, Harlaus's faces did not fluctuate at all, but they took the opportunity to quickly remember the position of the opponent's catapults and bed crossbows at the head of the city, so that they could strike more targeted.

In addition, they are also silently counting the number of enemy archers, after all, these archers are also a big obstacle when they attack the city later.

To Harlaus's relief, the archers on the other side were only more than 200 people, and the senior archers of Nord, who were more threatening, were only about 100 people, and they could still cope with such elite archers.

Speaking of which, the Nord Kingdom is investing almost all its resources in the infantry, although the archers are not directly cut down like the cavalry, but the resources allocated are also very small, so that the archers of the Nord Kingdom are relatively weak among the several countries in the Calradia continent, not only are the attributes and levels inferior to the top archers of other countries, but also the equipment is not very good. The bows and arrows used are still the same ordinary longbows as the Haikou, and the best armor is just ordinary chain mail, and some are even equipped with cloth armor and leather armor, and a large part of them do not even have helmets.

Therefore, most of the time, the archers of the Nord Kingdom are only auxiliary troops, and at most they can only use the rain of arrows to disrupt the enemy formation, and it is really difficult to encounter an opportunity like this to harvest the lives of the enemy army.

Under the dense rain of arrows at the head of the city, the more than 500 cannon fodder were killed and wounded before they could really touch the city wall of Fort Rud, and only more than 100 people remained.

With such heavy casualties, those cannon fodder no longer had the courage to move forward, and one by one they dropped the ladder and turned around and fled.

Because these cannon fodder had already helped his side to test out a lot of useful information, Haraus did not order his regular soldiers who were supervising the battle in the rear to slaughter the cannon fodder who fled back, but let the regular soldiers take the long ladders and then withdraw together in the rout.

After that, Harlaus even picked out more than a dozen of the best performers from the retreating cannon fodder and rewarded them with the ladders to help their soldiers carry ladders and retreat.

This so-called reward was actually to give out some rudimentary leather armor, cloth armor and weapons to these cannon fodder, and also released the families of these dozen people, and finally gave a few people some black bread and broth, so that they could reunite with their families and have a good meal.

For modern people, this little favor is naturally nothing, and they will not thank these invaders for it.

But on the continent of Calradia, the war has never really stopped over the years, and the people at the bottom are like duckweed that drifts with the tide, unable to control their own fate at all. Maybe this land still belongs to the Nord Kingdom today, and the next month it will be the Swadia Kingdom.

Because of the lack of education, the people at the bottom who suffered from the war never understood why the nobles were fighting all day long, they just wanted to be able to live for as many days as possible, and at the same time they could have enough food for themselves and their families.

Therefore, Haraus's simple little favor quickly took these dozen or so civilians who originally belonged to the Nord Kingdom into account, so that they naturally regarded themselves as members of the army of the Swadian Kingdom, and some even began to help the invaders oppress the fellow villagers who were held in the army.

After a little trimming, the army of the Swadia Kingdom launched an offensive again, this time the offensive was much more formal than the first wave, not only the number of troops in the attack reached more than 1,000 people, but also the siege equipment such as siege towers, rushing carts and ladders were all dispatched in unison, pressing towards Fort Ruud with great momentum.

More than a dozen heavy trebuchets in the rear were also in full swing, and boulders continued to cross the sky above the siege army and fell towards Fort Rud.

Once they hit the city wall, these boulders will drop a large number of stones on the strong city wall, and some of the boulders that fall right on the top of the wall will crush a large area of the defending soldiers into bloody flesh, and then continue to bounce several times, smashing the defending soldiers along the road to broken bones.

Just when the battle under Fort Rud was becoming more and more intense, Ye Tianlong had already taken the four newcomers to feel the town of Odasan and handed over the batch of grain to Baron Thor.

Most of the food Ye Tianlong prepared for the other party was flour, and some grains such as corn and soybeans were also partly there.

After Baron Sol personally inspected it, he was very satisfied with the flour that was as white and clean as snow, and the depression in his heart about this money-losing transaction finally dissipated a lot, after all, if he bought grain from other grains, even if he could buy so much grain, this quality would definitely not be comparable to the batch that Ye Tianlong brought.

Now that he has all the armor, money, and food, he only needs to train his troops with all his strength, and wait for the order of His Majesty the King to send troops.

And Min Shuisheng, who was bent on finding a show to save energy, went out for a spin, but soon came back with a black face, and it seemed that the honor of those young ladies in Oudasang Town did not satisfy this newcomer.

This is also normal, the population of Oudasang Town is more than 2,000, and it is natural that you can do that kind of business here and be a beautiful woman who looks like a city.

Speaking of which, after being swept away by Ye Tianlong, this Oudasang town is now becoming more and more depressed.

But the Baron Sol turned a blind eye to this, obviously bent on taking advantage of a big war to make himself better. The risk of this kind of stud is really high, and if it fails, Baron Sol may not even be able to keep the current baronial title.

However, Ye Tianlong was not the other party's real subordinate, so he did not continue to persuade the other party, but only returned to the camp with everyone after selling a batch of various groceries brought by the grain transportation team.

This time, they traveled lightly, and it took less than two hours for everyone to return to the camp, and when Ye Tianlong and the others returned, several other team members in the camp were there to celebrate Guo Wenruo's successful breakthrough to the Ming Jin realm.

In this way, the first batch of team members summoned by Ye Tianlong have all broken through to the Ming Jin cultivation, and the same Ming Jin cultivation, the attributes of everyone when they break through are high and low, such as Ye Tianlong, a genius with excellent qualifications, when he breaks through to the Ming Jin realm, the strongest strength value is already as high as forty points, and Murong Jie, who has a prefecture-level qualification, when he breaks through to the Ming Jin realm, the strength value is also thirty-five points high.

Later, with Xuan-level qualifications like Jiang You and Zhou Jiale, when they broke through to the Ming Jin realm, their strength value only barely reached thirty points. And for a yellow-level qualification like Guo Wenruo, when he broke through to the Ming Jin realm, his strength value was only about twenty-five points.

And don't look at the lower the threshold for people with poor qualifications to break through to the Mingjin realm, and it seems that it will be easier to break through.

But this is just to take advantage of some advantages in the early stage, and when the cultivation of the martial artists becomes more and more profound, those martial artists with poor qualifications, because the foundation is not as strong as a genius martial artist like Ye Tianlong when they break through in the early stage, and then it will become more and more difficult to continue to break through and improve the realm. For example, Guo Wenruo, who only has yellow-level qualifications, if he doesn't have any adventures, he will be trapped in the acquired realm for the rest of his life, and he will be considered to be at the top when he cultivates to the top.

Li Rufeng was also very satisfied when he saw that the first batch of registered disciples under his command had successfully broken through to the Ming Jin realm, after all, if he was not diligent enough in cultivation, even if there was enough pills to provide, it would be difficult to break through to the Ming Jin realm so quickly.

And in the past few days, she has also taken the time to refine a batch of top-grade essence blood pills with the giant python essence blood with a body length of nearly twenty meters, with the help of this powerful top-grade essence blood pill, she feels that the success rate of breaking through to the innate realm is at least seven or eight.

So she didn't go to other things that afternoon, but tried to adjust her state to the best, and prepared to change to the pill in the evening to break through.

For the sake of safety, Li Rufeng didn't tell anyone else about this matter, but when she was having dinner in the evening, she secretly told Ye Tianlong and asked the other party to stay and protect her at night.

So that night, after everyone went offline one after another, Ye Tianlong and his master came to the other party's tent, ready to protect the Dharma when the other party broke through.

Li Rufeng was sitting cross-legged on a futon in the center of the tent at this time, wearing only a pair of shorts and a small vest, and after breathing and making sure that the internal injuries he suffered some time ago had completely healed, he took a superb essence blood pill handed by Ye Tianlong.

This superb essence blood pill is very peculiar, it looks like a ruby, a little translucent, and it is not like other essence blood pills, it exudes blood, but exudes a faint fragrance.

After Li Rufeng took this superb essence blood pill, she immediately used her internal force and began to refine the medicinal power of this pill with all her might, but even so, beads of sweat the size of beans quickly appeared on her body, and the skin of her body quickly became extremely red due to the height of her body temperature, and finally the heat emitted by her body even converged into a white vapor above her head.

This is the reason why Li Rufeng doesn't wear too many clothes, if she wears too many clothes, I'm afraid that she will soon be soaked with sweat, and the lack of timely heat dissipation in her body may cause her to go crazy in the breakthrough process.

Ye Tianlong saw his master's appearance on the side, and he also had to sigh that the medicinal power of this superb essence blood pill was really strong, if those ordinary people who had no cultivation ate it, I am afraid that they would explode directly and die!

And under Ye Tianlong's gaze, Li Rufeng's body actually began to continue to grow taller, and the muscle contours on the surface of his body were constantly changing and adjusting, becoming more perfect than before, which could make Li Rufeng's body have both strength and flexibility, which made Ye Tianlong understand that his master's breakthrough should seem to be quite smooth, because he had learned from Li Rufeng's mouth before that when a martial artist broke through to the innate realm, he had an opportunity to reshape his body. Warriors can not only make their physical bodies more perfect, but also be able to repair those dark wounds that were previously difficult to detect, and even be reborn with severed limbs. And all this is what the warrior can only do after he has crossed the most difficult level when breaking through.

Now that his master Li Rufeng has begun to proceed to this point, it naturally means that the other party's breakthrough process should be quite smooth, and there should be no accidents in the future.
