Chapter 375: Life and Death Decision Weiying City
Three hundred zhang later, the flying cavalry could already see the hideous expression on the face of the rebels, the flying cavalry held the hunting bow in his hand, and the right hand condensed mana to aim at the eye, ready to shoot.
When the rebels were nearly 200 feet old, they "let go of the arrows"! A loud sound resounded throughout the night sky, and Xuanyuan Ziying took the lead in shooting the signal arrow in his hand. The signal arrow streaked a brilliant purple light in the night sky.
More than 20,000 feather arrows shot out in a volley, and the sharp feathered arrows flew in the air, shining like meteors all over the night sky, but this meteor was not a wish for the rebels, but with the most decisive judgment, bringing them a fatal blow.
At the same time, all the city defense weapons on Weiying City opened fire and attacked, all kinds of mana crossbow arrows, burning repeaters, burst ballistas, ice and fire double projection vehicles, energy stone cannons and other weapons salvo attacks, this large area of weapon rain attack is far more spectacular than the arrow rain, the surging weapon rain completely covered the sky above the front wing of the 50,000 rebels.
"It's not good, the rain of arrows is coming, defend!" shouted a rebel lord at the head of the front flank formation.
The rebel soldiers immediately launched a collective defense technique, but the protection of this defense technique was too thin, and the mana feather arrows could penetrate it, not to mention the more powerful city defense weapon.
"Whoosh" Countless arrows hit the target, and the sound of "Boom Boom" resounded in the field in front of Weiying City, and the city defense weapons exploded in the rebel formation, and the rebel front wing formation was killed and injured by this double attack at once.
This wave of weapon rain attacks has not yet been completed, and the next wave of arrow rain is coming. The rebels' front flanks folded each other, raised their shields and armor for protection, and smashed their arrows on the metal. There was a "clanging" sound. The threat of the rain of arrows became smaller, but the city defense weapon sent out another wave of weapon rain, and the invading attack was indeed difficult to protect against by the armor shield.
In particular, the Ice and Fire Twin Thrower can fire ten cryolite bullets and fire crystal bullets at a time, and the attack line is scattered, and one explosion is ten small areas, and the attack of the energy stone cannon is not small, and the attack of one energy light pillar can knock down a row of rebels. The attack lines of the Burst Ballista and Mana Bolts and Burning Repeaters worked together, and when fired, columns of rebels were killed and wounded. With the support of these several major city defense weapons, plus the assistance of other mana weapons, it was really enough for the rebels in front of Weiying City to drink a pot.
However, it is still unrealistic to destroy 230,000 rebels with less than 40,000 defenders and city defense weapons. The duration of ammunition and fire of the city's defense weapons is still limited. And Weiying City is not an important border town. There has been no war in the Ziwei Galaxy for thousands of years, and the weapons and ammunition stored all year round are only one-tenth of the total storage capacity of the warehouse. It was time for the fire of this city defense weapon to stop firing for half an hour after continuous intensive fire, and the four important weapon warehouses of the Ziwei Galaxy were all set up in other important towns in the galaxy, and they could not be mobilized in a hurry. It's just that the virtual rebel lord in Weiying City doesn't know.
The 50,000 rebel troops quickly stepped forward to take over the front flank formation to cover and defend. The rebel rear army gathered on both flanks of the large formation and prepared to attack. And the dense rain of weapons and arrows up and down Weiying City is still attacking. The rebels continued to fall with casualties in the battle formation, and the large array of 150,000 troops of the rebels suffered a lot of casualties under the continuous fierce attacks, and about 30,000 people lost under these waves of attacks.
The rebel array moved slowly forward. gradually approached the 20,000 flying cavalry under the command of Xuanyuan Ziying.
When the two sides were nearly a hundred zhang, Xuanyuan Ziying waved the Star Dragon Halberd and commanded the flying cavalry to rush forward, and the range of the city's defense weapons gradually advanced outward, leaving a safe airspace for their own soldiers to fight.
The 20,000 flying cavalry did not frighten in the face of six times the number of rebels, they waved their blades in their hands, and the heavenly horses under their seats charged forward in a neat formation, "killing" and defending their homeland was their duty and determination, and defeating the rebels was their ambition and mission.
"Charge!" The rebel formation and the Purple Cloud Dragon Armor formation fought together, although the rebels were powerful, but the bravery and combat power of the flying cavalry were difficult for the rebels to match.
Xuanyuan Ziying, together with his generals, took the lead in rushing into the first formation, opening a flesh and blood passage for the warriors under his command, and rushed straight into the rebel array. 20,000 flying cavalry swept into the rebel formation, rushing left and right in the rebel formation, slashing and slashing at will, blood splashed, countless rebel figures fell, and in this close combat in the face of six times the rebels, many flying cavalry also fell heroically, and did not swing the last blow to the rebels until they died.
The blood is surging, and it is this fearless spirit that allows the guardians of Weiying City to win more precious time.
Xuanyuan Ziying's entire army rushed bravely to kill, and dozens of rebel generals fell under their blades. The lord who commanded the front wing of the rebels was stabbed by Yun Zhong, a brave general under Xuanyuan Ziying, and the entire front wing formation of the rebels completely collapsed.
Half an hour had passed, and the second wave of the rebel attack of the 150,000-strong army had finally been repulsed, and the night was completely shrouded in the sky. The 150,000 rebels fled back and only 90,000 remained, plus the 80,000 rebels who had been on standby before, a total of 170,000 rebels were ready to launch the last attack on Weiying City.
170,000 rebels regrouped, and a new siege battle was about to be staged.
After the attrition of this battle, 4,000 of the 20,000 flying cavalry were wounded and 1,000 killed, and the ammunition reserves of the city defense weapons on Weiying City could only shoot the last two waves. And there was not even a single feather arrow in the quiver on the back of the flying cavalry, and the dense rain of arrows could no longer be fired.
The wounded flying cavalry entered the city to rest and recuperate, and the remaining 15,000 flying cavalry redeployed to guard the front line of the city.
Xuanyuan Ziying was also covered in blood, but this blood was splashed by the rebels, and not a drop was his, although he was brave and invincible in this rebel array, it was difficult to kill the 170,000 rebels alone.
"It was a bit hasty to lead the army to warn the four lords this morning, if the army was dormant according to the emperor's wishes, and sent troops to take the initiative to destroy him at the slightest misstep, maybe there would be no defense of Weiying City tonight. Xuanyuan Ziying pondered.
But the rebels didn't give Xuanyuan Ziying more room and time to think, "Chong, kill Xuanyuan Ziying and reward the princess!" 170,000 rebel soldiers regrouped and swept in, shouting this humiliating sentence to embolden themselves. The 170,000 rebels were divided into three large formations in the Izumo Sanjin Formation and surrounded Weiying Castle from the north, east, and west. And this Weiying City only has the main force of Xuanyuan Ziying in the north, and the total number of heavenly soldiers and flying cavalry guarding on the east and west sides is only 8,000, how can it withstand the siege of 100,000 rebels.
The rebel array rushed to Weiying City like a tide, and there was a shortage of weapons and ammunition on Weiying City, so how to resist the rebels' offensive and protect the safety of the people in Weiying City became a difficult problem. All the defenders of the city were on standby, including the wounded flying cavalry who were recuperating in the city.
Princess Ziyan was also invited by the city guards to get off the North City Tower and sent back to the palace. A life-and-death battle to defend Weiying City was staged.
The rebel formation had learned the lesson of its previous failures, and rushed to the front soldiers to be protected by the huge shields and heavy armor, and launched an attack in a defensive formation, gradually approaching Weiying City.
When the rebels were nearly 500 zhang, Xuanyuan Ziying ordered all the city's defense weapons to open fire.
"Boom, boom, boom", "whoosh", "boom, boom", "boom, boom", boom, And the high-powered city defense weapons such as the Ice and Fire Double Throwing Vehicle and the Energy Stone Cannon have run out of ammunition, and they are simply unable to join this salvo attack.
The two waves of weapon rain were quickly over, and all the city defense weapons ran out of ammunition, and they were completely dumb. The garrison that controls the city's defense weapons draws their sabers and swords from their waists and stands on the castle tower, ready to plunge into the battle to defend the city.
Seeing that the city defense weapons were silent, the three rebel teams stopped hesitantly, and after a cup of tea, the city defense weapons had not yet fired, and now they all understood what they were doing.
The three teams of the "killing" rebels no longer had any scruples, and rushed towards Weiying City. The situation in Viying City is precarious, and the scene of hand-to-hand combat is about to be staged. Whether Xuanyuan Ziying can hold Weiying City, and whether the rebels can succeed, please see below. (To be continued......)
