The feathered arrow arced in the air, and the sorcerer's expression changed dramatically when he heard the sound of the feathered arrow breaking through the air.

"Impossible! How can such a weak army have more than a thousand marksmen!" the sorcerer roared. Where did he know that this attack was the model of the regular army of Eastern Qin.

After a round of shooting, the crossbowman behind the archer immediately raised his arm to open the crossbow, aim, and shoot. The archer regained his breath and quickly placed a second feathered arrow on the bowstring.

Xiaoqi shouted: "Ready...... Put!"

Another round of feathered arrows was fired, and by this time, the crossbowman had not yet been able to complete the winding action. In this gap, the fixed chain crossbow fired more than a thousand bolts in a single-shot pattern.

The first three rounds of fire almost accurately killed and wounded the skeleton soldiers in their early 2,000s. Each arrow hit the skeleton's head, destroying the skeleton's skull almost in one fell swoop, shattering it in all directions.

Within a distance of fifty zhang, the killing efficiency of these archers reached more than fifty percent. This is also due to the fact that the skeleton soldiers are too slow and are shaken by the war drums, which is equivalent to a low-speed moving target.

These skeletons were summoned from the grave and improvised, but they consumed a forbidden spell scroll from the sorcerer. In the blink of an eye, more than two thousand were lost, and the enemy fired only three rounds of arrows. Only then did the sorcerer realize that the soldiers at the head of the city were the elite. The fourth round of attacks, the chain crossbow, is fired in a single shot to save arrows.

When an iron arrow hits the skeleton's body, it will directly break the gray-white bones, and the more fragile ones will shatter. The shooting of this chain crossbow is not so accurate, but the chain crossbow shoots a flat-bladed arrow, as long as it hits the center, it will often shoot the skeleton soldier at the waist.

The fragile spine could not withstand the attack of crossbow arrows with a range of 200 zhang. And now the position of the skeleton soldiers. It is less than sixty zhang from the city wall.

This is where the meaning of the chain crossbow comes in, as they are usually aimed at hoplites or shields. If the shield of the hoplite was hit by this series of crossbows, the whole arm would be shattered. Unless it is equipment made of Dao arts, otherwise, one arrow will solve the problem.

The empire loves to fight with a bow and crossbow. If it can be solved remotely, it will never be fought in close combat.

The sorcerer sneered, he raised his hand, and on his index finger, the huge ring shone with a strange brilliance, and the black-armored knights in the back of the formation carried their horses forward, and took off the javelins stuck in the back of their horses.

The sorcerer pointed to the head of the city with his hand, the more than 2,000 black-armored knights. In unison, they accelerated forward, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed out of more than a hundred zhang, their arms back, raising their javelins, and the speed of the horses under their feet was strangely consistent.

Call!

The black-armored knight was still a hundred feet away from the city. And they attacked, those iron javelins. One by one, the light flickered and flew towards the city, making the sound of the air exploding.

When the black-armored knight moved forward, the chain crossbow had already changed its firing pattern. The black-armored knight's javelin was thrown, and the chain crossbow had released more than a dozen iron arrows.

Su Jing's reaction was fast enough, and a set of Five Thunder Immobilization Spells was released. The six javelins on the front, shrouded in the control of the paper talisman, lost speed in the air, fell sharply, and pounced. Inserted into the ground under the city, it was not half deep.

The Qi Refiners of the foundation building period at the head of the city released their Dao techniques one after another, but there were still more than 500 javelins to break the defense. Several soldiers were unable to dodge and were killed on the spot by javelins.

Less than ten soldiers died, but the target of these javelins was the chain of crossbows at the head of the city.

Rumble!

A chain crossbow was hit by more than a dozen javelins at the same time, and it was instantly shot to pieces. The soldiers behind couldn't dodge and were blown away, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

In this instant, more than ten chain crossbows were destroyed. Su Zhi's face was quite ugly, the enemy's counterattack was so sharp, and he was not prepared, otherwise, he would not have let the knight rush closer.

"Ballista!"

The soldiers at the head of the city did not panic at all, and with the order of the commander, the soldiers in charge of the ballista opened the safety of the ballista, this time, it was the soul cannon of the son and mother.

The enemy is a hundred feet away, but it is also within range.

The counterattack of the chain crossbow has already knocked down a group of black-armored knights, and at least more than fifty black-armored knights have been shot in the upper body, and it must be over.

The sorcerer was also so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed. He didn't expect that the range of those crossbow arrows at the head of the city could still shoot his own black knight from a distance of more than two hundred meters. These Black Knights are not undead creatures, but truly elite soldiers under his command. Undead creatures are cannon fodder, and these soldiers are the fundamentals.

More than 50 died in this attack, and at least more than 200 were injured and could not fight again. The opponent's crossbow arrows lost one-tenth of their strength.

What kind of crossbow arrow is that, so terrible, overwhelming shooting, launched in a row, and there is no way to avoid it!

It was the time of shock and hatred, the son and mother of the city arrived with the soul cannon, more than a hundred huge iron fists, with more than 3,000 small projectiles, smashed down like a torrential rain, and in the blink of an eye, more than two hundred black-armored knights fell.

The sorcerer didn't care about the distress, and immediately summoned the remaining black knights to retreat.

"Trebuchet, fire!" The officer at the head of the city continued to give the order calmly, and the javelins in that round were shot directly by very few soldiers, but when the ballista was destroyed, more than a hundred soldiers were killed by the way.

And the enemy's black-armored knights, less than a hundred were actually shot directly. Those who fell to the ground and rolled were saved.

The oil tank on the trebuchet ignited, and it was quickly launched according to the coordinates. The huge oil tank exploded on the ground, and this time the grease inside was extremely viscous, covering the entire nearby ground and burning tenaciously. The wounded black-armored knights, all of whom were hit, let out even more poignant cries.

The sorcerer wanted to put out the fire, but suddenly his heart was nervous, and he saw several soldiers at the head of the city, raising their longbows and aiming at him.

What are you kidding, that's a distance of 1,500 meters!

But what if the other party can shoot so far? I heard that in the Eastern Qin Empire, there are also many powerful magicians, if the magic array of the wind element is attached to the feather arrow, it can shoot at least a thousand meters.

No, when you release your own magic, once you are disturbed, the backlash is also quite serious.

He still didn't know the big trebuchet in the city. It's perfectly possible to hit him at this distance. It's just that the large trebuchet is a real primitive weapon, the rate of fire is pitiful, and the fuel canister launched is also slow to fly, and it is basically impossible to hit him.

More than fifty black knights were shot, and more than four hundred lay on the ground, burned with oil. It's not that these people can't be saved. But that position was within the range of the enemy's crossbow arrows.

The sorcerer regretted that he had let the Black Knight take the risk of attacking in order to give his enemies a little color. Normally, you should use skeletons to consume the opponent's arrows. When the enemy's arrows are almost exhausted and the city gate is broken, it is time for the Black Knight to appear.

But how could he have imagined that the enemy's crossbow arrows could shoot so far.

And the second round of attacks is already a magic weapon! yes, I'm really stupid. How could such a huge city as the other party have no magic weapons to defend it?

Su Jing was shocked, this javelin throwing was overwhelming, and the chariot couldn't resist it. But without the sorcerer's blessings, the power of those javelins would not be a problem.

Fortunately, his own chain crossbow has a higher range than these in the city, and he ordered the bones of the sea beast. Crafting the cheapest rune arrows, it is still possible to shoot this kind of black-armored knight from a distance.

And this is a ranged attack. It is also easy to suffer from the destruction of Dao techniques, those javelins are completely external to the increased power and range of the force, and their own five thunder immobilization spells do not even have the strength of the foundation building period, so they can be easily intercepted.

It seems on the chariot. It is also necessary to supplement the proximal defense technique. It's best to have something like the Five Thunder Immobilization Charm, not to be able to defend it completely, as long as you solve this dangerous throwing gun.

The evil sorcerer calmed down, and the disciples around him were all angry and didn't dare to come out, seeing that the master was no longer angry. An apprentice spoke: "Master, let the flesh and bones be on and consume their arrows?"

"It's fine. The sorcerer approvingly, "That's a good idea. ”

The disciple scolded the street in his heart, this was originally a conventional tactic, and it was you who wanted to play a prestige, so you lost five hundred black knights. If the Governor blames you, I'm afraid you'll have to blame us.

I only hope to be able to storm the city quickly, and with this credit, the loss of five hundred black knights is nothing. If you don't take the enemy's city, I don't know who will be unlucky. It shouldn't be himself, the master's favorite is himself.

The archers escaped with the help of the refiners, the black knights retreated, and the archers got back to their feet and fired at the skeletons outside the city.

This kind of shooting is quite exhausting. Most of them are only in the realm of inducing qi into the body, and they are cultivating martial arts, not the secret methods of the Dao Gate. In terms of divine consciousness, it is much worse than that of a qi refiner. Even if their physical strength allows, they can shoot accurately like this only a dozen times.

The number of skeleton soldiers is not much, and there are still more than 30,000. Archers should be able to solve it.

The six archers had not struck, and they were aiming at the sorcerer. As soon as the sorcerer unleashed any more strange hex, they would attack immediately. It is estimated that the evil arts, like the Taoist arts, are afraid of being interrupted when they are performed.

Refusing to take any more chances, the sorcerer commanded the gray-white skeletons to storm the walls, consuming the arrows at the city's head. On the city walls, 1,200 archers shot calmly, the speed of the skeletons was not fast, and their mistakes were less than half.

Su was determined to look at the battlefield, and felt bitter in his heart, there were too many skeletons on the other side, and his own soldiers, did they really have to be lost in Hulukou? It is not possible to retreat, these skeletons rushed through Hulukou, and on the plain behind, there are villages, and those villages can replenish the soldiers of the other side.

Defeating five hundred black-armored knights was the biggest result, and just like his own mistake, the other party also misjudged the armor at the head of the city.

Su decided to call over a pro-soldier and said, "Go and talk to Su Shi and distribute the spare pills." In this battle, without reinforcements, we can't hold it. It's good to be able to kill a few more enemies. ”

After saying this, Su Zhi's face glowed with a strange look. He came here to defend the city, it was the task of the family, and he earned a lot of merits, and after he went back, he would have the opportunity to enter the Qingming Mansion.

Maybe there is no chance, if you leave the Su family disciples and run for your life, how can you still have the face to return to the Demon City?
