"Wow, wow. ”

The sound of neat military boots came slowly from far and near.

The enemy sergeants in front of the city wall, with steady steps and a neat phalanx, slowly approached the city gate.

The pressure on his face made all the sergeants defending on the city wall look solemn, in fact, he didn't need to be reminded for the rest of his life, all the sergeants defending on the city wall could see that the enclave sergeants who attacked this time were far from being comparable to the enemy troops they had encountered before.

After a short time, the enemy phalanx moved into the range of bows and arrows, but Yu Sheng did not immediately order an attack.

The enemy sergeants per platoon, about twenty, lined up neatly. At the front was a neat row of large shields, followed closely by the other sergeants, each holding a small shield to cover the vital part of his bare neck. The propulsion formation is tight and there are no obvious flaws.

The bow and crossbow will lose its strength at the maximum distance, and it is okay to deal with the previous loose formation, but against such a close, well-trained sergeant, it is not possible to attack immediately.

The phalanx did not stop, advancing from time to time, until the enemy troops in the center had already entered the firing range, and Yu Sheng gave a loud order.

"Aim at the sergeant after the third platoon, put!"

"Whoosh!"

The sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard neatly, and they went straight to the third row of sergeants. The third platoon of sergeants had broken away from the shield and was slightly weaker than the two platoons in front.

The sound of "dang, dang" was heard from time to time, and most of the arrow feathers were blocked by the enemy's shields or armor, and only a few arrow feathers were shot into the enemy formation at a tricky angle, causing a small amount of damage.

In the first wave of arrows, only a few enemy troops fell, and a gap immediately appeared in the phalanx, but it was instantly filled.

Yu Sheng stood on top of the city, frowned, thought for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Free shooting, rolling stones and wood preparations!"

"Whoosh, whoosh. ”

The sound of arrows breaking through the air is endless, but the effect on the damage caused to the phalanx below is very small, the enemy is much stronger than the enemy army encountered before in terms of formation, equipment and personal quality of the sergeant, this is definitely not the first time that this army has participated in siege warfare.

Huang Yuchen stood on top of the city, holding a long knife in his hand, standing quietly. Looking at the enemy phalanx that was constantly approaching below, I made a slight estimate that the attacking enemy army in front of me was about 2,000 people, and these people alone would definitely not be able to break through Changxiang City, the intention of the enemy generals was obvious, just to test the defensive ability of Changxiang City, but for the defenders of Changxiang City, they had to go all out.

Huang Yuchen calculated in his heart that if the enemy army really rushed to the city wall, he would immediately activate two fire arrays, and the pure fire elemental flames that were several zhang long from the fire array would engulf a large number of enemy troops in an instant, making it much easier to defend the city.

On the city wall, many sergeants saw that the arrow feathers were not effective, so they put down their longbows and replaced them with more powerful bows, and the crossbow arrows were activated, which immediately caused a lot of damage to the enemy.

The power of the crossbow arrow is much stronger than that of the longbow and arrow feathers, mainly because the bowstring of the bow is made of the flesh tendons of three fierce beasts, which is much more powerful than the single tendon of the longbow, but it is not so easy to open the crossbow arrow bowstring, so the attack frequency of the crossbow arrow is also much slower than the long bow.

As long as the arrows of the crossbow arrow are shot at the enemy's armor, they will immediately burrow into the armor and directly kill the enemy. However, in this expedition, the number of crossbow arrows carried was not large, only twenty arrow feathers per person, and the arrow feathers of crossbow arrows were extremely difficult to replenish, so they could not attack unconditionally.

Although the enemy phalanx suffered the baptism of longbows and crossbow arrows, and suffered a lot of casualties, the formation was not chaotic, and there was no panic in the slightest, and every vacancy brought by a wounded or killed sergeant would be immediately filled by the sergeant behind him, until the enemy phalanx advanced to the vicinity of the city wall, and the entire phalanx did not have much turmoil.

"Rolling Stones!"

Yu Sheng saw that the enemy phalanx had advanced to the bottom of the city wall, and the crossbow arrows could not be used arbitrarily, so he immediately ordered the sergeant to lift the boulder that had been carried to the city wall and smash it under the city wall.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the sergeants in the front row of the enemy phalanx bore the brunt of the damage from the rolling stones, and the boulders thrown from the city wall several feet high did not have much effect on defense no matter what, as long as they were hit, they immediately died tragically on the spot.

With Yu Sheng's order, several boulders were immediately pushed down from the city wall, causing temporary damage to the enemy army's phalanx, and the other sergeants on the city wall, taking advantage of the enemy's temporary panic, immediately fired a salvo of arrows, killing and wounding a large number of enemy sergeants.

In an instant, under the city of Changxiang, there was a wail, and the enemy army could no longer maintain the same complete formation as before, but quickly changed the formation, all the sergeants aimed their shields at the city wall, and a passage was vacated in the middle, and the ladder hand at the end of the phalanx immediately ran quickly with the ladder and went straight to the city wall.

Seeing this, Yu Sheng's eyes froze, and he immediately ordered: "Cloud ladder man!

At the sound of an order, dozens of arrows immediately rushed towards the ladder hand in the middle of the enemy army, and the sound of breaking through the sky resounded in the sky.

For the ladder hands who were under the city and had no protection, these dozens of arrow feathers became their life talismans, and all the ladder hands died immediately.

The long ladder stopped in place, and the enemy soldiers responsible for building the ladder did not survive.

In the enemy formation, another group of sergeants immediately stepped forward, carried the ladder and charged again. Without Yu Sheng's order, dozens of arrows roared in again, and several enemy soldiers died on the spot again.

At this moment, the enemy army at the forefront had already arrived in front of the main gate of Changxiang City, the big shield was raised high above his head, defending against the arrow feathers pouring down from the city wall, and the long knife in his hand kept slashing, slashing the gate of Changxiang City as if he was dead.

Of course, they saw the shining formation on the city wall, but they didn't care, the enclave army did not have a formation master, and there were very few sergeants who knew the formation. Moreover, in such a tense and fierce siege battle, no one would pay too much attention to the fluorescence in front of them.

Huang Yuchen looked at Yu Sheng, with an inquiring look in his eyes, Yu Sheng turned his head, glanced at Huang Yuchen lightly, and shook his head gently.

At this time, Huang Yuchen must have wanted to immediately activate a few fire formations and kill all the enemy troops in front of him who had rushed to the edge of the city wall, such a close distance, the fire array would cause great damage, and all the enemy troops in front of the formation would be burned to death. But Yu Sheng did not give an order to Huang Yuchen, Huang Yuchen could only frown, stood on the city wall, and waited quietly.

He didn't have a bow and crossbow at hand, nor did he have any other weapons for long-range damage, so if he wanted to inflict damage on the enemy troops under the city, he could only throw out the weapons placed behind him, but he thought about it for a while and gave up on this idea.

It must be reasonable not to let him activate the fire array for the rest of his life.

In the face of so many enemy troops, it is not beneficial to easily expose the hole cards of the formation, and at this moment the enemy army has been overwhelmed, Huang Yuchen has no time to go down to the city to arrange the formation again, and now the twenty fire formations on the city wall can be said to be the last hole card for the defense of Changxiang City.

Moreover, it is still unknown whether the city walls of Changxiang City can withstand the reaction brought by the fire array.

After Yu Sheng shook his head lightly at Emperor Yuchen, he immediately commanded the sergeant beside him: "Mulberry, city gate!"

The sergeant next to him immediately nodded, pushed the huge log that had been prepared long ago near the battlements, and retreated straight down the city wall, under which was the enemy's large shield defense.

But the thick trees were pushed down from the city walls, and unless the soldiers holding the shields below were all martial arts cultivators, they would definitely not be able to bear such a weight, so they only listened to "knock, knock." There were a few muffled sounds, and the sergeant of the giant shield didn't even have time to scream, and was slapped on the helmet by the giant shield in his hand, and the seven orifices bled to death.

With the continuous death of the sergeants who went forward to carry the ladder, and the sergeants who attacked the city gate have also been killed, at this moment, the enemy's attack can basically be declared a failure.

Sure enough, the enemy camp in the distance came from the crisp sound of metal tapping.

"Boom, boom. ”

The sergeants under the city immediately began to retreat, but they still did not forget to hold their shields firmly in their hands, tried to maintain their formation, and slowly retreated.

Subsequently, Yu Sheng ordered a salvo of bows and arrows, and countless arrows pierced the sky, killing many enemy soldiers again, and the remaining enemy troops withdrew from the range of bows and arrows.

In this siege, the enemy did not carry any large-scale siege equipment, including the charging vehicles, which obviously came to test the garrison ability of Changxiang City. And after this battle, the two thousand enemy troops who came to attack paid the price of seven or eight hundred killed.

On the city wall, although the defending side did not suffer a single casualty, it consumed a large number of defensive equipment, including rolling stones, sassal wood, and a large number of arrow feathers, but only caused seven or eight hundred casualties to the enemy.

When the enemy soldiers are approaching the city, it is impossible to open the city gate to clean up the battlefield and recover consumable items such as arrows and feathers.

Seeing the enemy retreating, Yu Sheng immediately began to check the remaining supplies, and the battle at the back door was over.

After inspecting the front and rear city walls, we got a rough estimate that the enemy army had consumed a total of war materials in the city during the tentative attack, including arrows, rolling stones, crossbow arrows, etc., which had been reduced by two percent, and the number of casualties caused to the enemy was about 1,300 people.

1,300 men were nothing for the enemy's 20,000 besieging sergeants. But the consumption of 20% of the materials is irreparable for Changxiang City.

The number of enemy troops has not decreased significantly, according to the current materials in the city, if the enemy army swarms at this moment, the city is completely engaged in the battle regardless of consumption, even if all the materials stored now are poured down, the enemy army cannot be completely repulsed, and in the end, it can only inevitably enter the white-knuckle battle.

Yu Sheng stood on the city wall, his brows furrowed.

The enemy's attack did not attack the hills on both sides, and the sergeants on the hills did not receive any damage, but if nothing else, the enemy would immediately launch a tentative attack on the hills on both sides.

"Immediately inform the herald of the hills, all the men are ready for battle, the enemy's attack will come immediately!" Yu Sheng ordered the herald behind him, and when the herald behind him heard this, he immediately jumped down from the city wall and rushed to the top of the hill.

At the same time, the formation of the enemy troops, once again, moved.
