C580 "With unstoppable force, he won in a great battle"

The siege warfare was once again in full swing, but compared to the previous siege, it was much easier to guard the city on one side, the main general, Situ Qingyun.

This kind of relaxed mood stemmed from the successful arrival of his nephew with reinforcements. Not only did it replenish the lost troops, it also increased the amount of elites. This allowed Northern Army, whose forces were originally at a disadvantage, to finally let out a sigh of relief.

Furthermore, these weren't originally the flower vase provided by the Eastern Army, but were truly the best of the best in the hundred battles. Furthermore, along the way, Gongsun Zaitian had instilled them with a great number of brilliant vanguard strategy and tactics, causing the entire army to improve greatly.

On the other hand, it was his Ghost Genius's nephew himself who seemed to have arrived. Not only did it give the entire army a lot more vigor, even Situ Qingyun himself felt that the burden on his body had lightened by quite a bit, and he didn't know where this nephew of his had gotten such charm from. Furthermore, it also gave people a kind of inexplicable confidence.

Of course, the most important third point was the defensive equipment that had arrived along with Gongsun Ze's army. They were all large machines that had never been seen before. At the same time, a lot of rocks of similar size were continuously being sent into the city.

This kind of large equipment was called 'catapult' by Gongsun Zaitian. In addition to the piles of rocks, even a fool could understand the specific uses of these things. However, they just didn't know the specific steps and true power of these tools.

But as the Mayor, to Situ Qingyun, things that were created by his nephew, were definitely extraordinary. Maybe he could already shine in this battle, so before the battle even started, Situ Qingyun was already faintly looking forward to it.

In addition to the catapult, it was also worth mentioning a new type of machine. This machine could be divided into two types, one of which was a multi-arrowhead machine, as the name implied, this machine could release multiple arrows at once, which not only increased the attack efficiency, but also increased the range and number of shots, and like ordinary machines, it only required three people to make the shot.

This also meant that even though there were three people, their power was still three to four times stronger than an ordinary NPC. In order to not delay the firing rate of the arrows, the arrows were not filled in one by one, but were carried on a long wooden stake with several grooves. After the first round of arrows was fired, as long as the wooden stake was replaced, the arrows could be quickly filled in, and only one person was responsible for filling the pile up with arrows.

The other type was a chainmail machine, which required two people to cooperate. One shot, the other filled in the arrows, and the arrows were arranged in a box in order. After the chainmail emptied the box, they could be changed to the next one.

However, there was a small mechanism that could easily pull the string, and at the same time, fill the quiver with arrows. Furthermore, there was a specially designed aiming aim at the very front of the machine, which was convenient for archers to adjust the angle of fire at any time. Of course, because of the rough workmanship, errors still existed, but luckily, it was not as wide as the palm of their hand. In the era of cold weapons, this could be considered to be accurate.

With the existence of these two great killing weapons, Situ Qingyun became even more confident. He even thought, under such a dense barrage of fire, would it still be possible for the Profound Nether Empire to be near the city walls?

While Situ Qingyun was deep in his thoughts, the horn to attack sounded. The vanguard army of the Profound Nether Empire began to charge towards the city wall with all their might, and along with them were long ladders of clouds and soft ladders that could be used to grab onto people's hands.

"Bow, prepare!" "Fire!" Situ Qingyun decisively gave the order.

With the command given, the arrows from the top of the city wall shot out without hesitation. Those two special machines were crazily shooting arrows at the place where there were a lot of people. Within a few breaths, they had cleared out the enemy forces that were gathered together.

The moment the siege warfare, who was even more miserable, started, it was a one-sided scene. The soldiers in front of them were all stunned by the dense rain of arrows pouring down from the top of the city walls, even with shields in hand, they were unable to take even half a step forward, so they could only helplessly retreat.

After a while, the second wave of troops arrived. Different from the first wave, this wave was filled with soldiers holding shields, they raised them above their heads and lined them up in a row, so many that no gaps could be seen. As such, they formed a wall of troops that charged towards the city.

This time, Situ Qingyun did not choose to waste arrows, but allowed the enemy to get closer to the city walls. When the enemy Shield Wall was less than five meters away from the city wall, Situ Qingyun decisively made the soldiers on top of the city walls think to himself that the city walls should be throwing rocks and oil, especially the oil falling, accompanied by the following rockets.

Therefore, the second round of the siege ended in defeat, but the casualties this time were far greater than the first. Not to mention those who were killed or injured by the boulders, but also those who were burned to death by the oil of fire, the enemies who were scared to death and were forced to flee were shot dead on the spot because they were covered by the arrows.

Xianyu Hetu completely did not expect that all of the good attacking methods would actually fall in battle this time around. What exactly was the reason behind this?

"Foster father, the arrows above the city seem to have become stronger, but I haven't seen how much more archers have increased in numbers. How could they achieve such terrifying archery?"

"Arrow?" Someone immediately ordered the third siege troops to prepare, but this time they were not allowed to approach the city walls. They all stopped fifty steps away from the city wall! I want to see how powerful the arrows are! "

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Thus, the third round of the attack on the siege warfare began once again!

But this time, what made Xianyu Hetu disappointed was that he did not even see a single thing he wanted to see. The arrows on the city wall had become sparse and scattered, completely lacking the sharpness and sharpness from before.

"Hmph, and here I thought they really had something different! It did not seem like much! If the entire army were to press forward, they could take down this city in one go! The first person to enter the city will be rewarded with 10,000 gold. The first army to attack the city will be rewarded with three days of unbridled destruction and looting.

Following Xianyu Hetu's order, the entire army rushed out of the city like a flock of little wolf cubs.

"Father, is this okay? This time, the other party seemed a bit strange, and it was obvious that the arrows and the rain of arrows just now were suddenly cut off. This does not follow common sense! "

"Brat, you're thinking too much!" Why did I, the father of the siege warfare, disregard death and continue to attack endlessly? That's to force the other party to use all of their trump cards. But, after a day of fighting, that's still the same old tricks! "

"But foster father, you forgot that explosion. Maybe this is the opponent's real trump card!"

"Hmph, although this item is strange, there are still many that are miraculous. This King would like to see it again. If we can grasp this weapon, what city will not be destroyed?"

"Don't tell me that foster father is actually forcing the other party to use this thing?"

"That's right, if the other party uses it again, I will do whatever it takes to take it down. Even if this battle ends in failure, but ten or even twenty years from now, as long as we grasp this weapon, we will definitely break through the doors of the Honglong Empire."

"Father-in-law is brilliant!"

"Haha ?"

However, Xianyu Hetu's hearty laughter had yet to stop, and it suddenly stopped. The main culprit who caused his laughter to stop, was actually the huge army that was constantly retreating, as well as the occasional rumbling and painful wails mixed in. There were even the muffled sounds of tens of thousands of horses galloping in the distance.

What had happened? Time moved forward a little.

When the horn of the whole army was blown, the army went over to kill them. There were too many hesitant soldiers, so they couldn't spread out completely. So they used something as a feint to attack from the north.

However, they never expected that, first, both sides of the east and west side would be met with a tragic arrow attack, and they had no choice but to retreat, and it was this retreat that gave the riders in the city the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and the east and west sides were suddenly opened up, led by Gongsun Ze Tian himself, and the east side was led by Di Yutang and the bewitching woman. They also used this opportunity to kill their way out, and as for the giant man, he was taken away by Lei Sheng, and he was not in the city at the moment.

Upon seeing that things were not going well, the east and west flanked the main force from the north. However, their close proximity immediately caused the main force's formation to be thrown into chaos. There were even many places with a high concentration of people.

How could Situ Qingyun let go of such an opportunity? He first ordered the two new type of machine to attack without stopping, and at the same time ordered the already ready Stone Door Army to open their mouths wide.

Huge rocks flew out of the city like a meteor shower, arcing through the air before crashing into the dense crowd of people. Instantly, a large number of casualties were caused.

At the same time, shattered rocks flew out horizontally, the shattered pieces of the stone pieces were like countless of blades and swords, instantly causing all the nearby Profound Nether Empire warriors to fall to the ground, while many of the fallen soldiers had holes in their bodies, and were constantly bleeding. Moreover, it was obvious that they were short of breath and could only exhale.

How could this kind of attack method be something that the warriors of the Profound Nether Empire had seen before? The series of attacks they had encountered these past few days had already made them completely exhausted, to the point that they even became frightened birds.

Such elite soldiers had actually fallen to such a state. It could be seen that there were many ways to defeat an army, and seizing their will was the foundation of such a great victory.
