Chapter 966: Fierce Defense of the City
"Prepare the siege crossbow!"
As soon as he saw King Wu taking action, Li Yu's expression changed drastically and he immediately shouted angrily.
Uh-huh!
Jiang Wei personally took action and struck the city wall with his sword.
Uh-huh!
Another huge golden sword light struck the city wall, and there was an explosion and roar. A huge hole was cut in the city wall, and hundreds of black evil soldiers on the city wall were strangled to pieces by the sword light.
Swish, swish, swish!
Hundreds of siege treasure crossbows on the city wall are inlaid with high-grade Yuan stones. The siege treasure crossbows shine brightly, and the energy flows into the arrow trough, emitting an astonishing power.
Siege crossbow, this is a great weapon that can break through King Wu's body protection.
call out! call out! call out! call out!
The arrows and crossbows turned into streaks of light and fired angrily downward, shooting at Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei's expression changed drastically, and he protected his body with surging true energy, and at the same time, Yuan Wing condensed from behind and retreated quickly.
01Y is x-on:the first v release
Whoosh whoosh!
A large number of treasure crossbows were fired at Jiang Wei, forcing Jiang Wei to wave his sword to resist and retreat at the same time.
Boom!
Some of the treasure crossbows shot into the crowd and exploded. The explosion range of each crossbow arrow was 100 meters, and a large number of War Dragon Army and Heisha Army below were immediately killed.
It is extremely easy to accidentally kill one's own soldiers by using a siege crossbow. Li Yu would not use it unless King Wu took action. If he didn't use it and let King Wu attack the city wall, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In the troubled times of Yinghuo, all countries have help, and the powerful King Wu is not allowed to directly intervene in the war, but King Wu has become the strongest fighting force.
Li Yu shot back Jiang Wei with his siege crossbow. Li Yu looked solemn. The opponent had King Wu, but his side did not. This was a huge disadvantage.
The siege battle below continued, and the Heisha army that came out of the city to fight also suffered heavy casualties, with more than 100,000 people dead.
"The heavy crossbows and giant crossbows are suppressed with all their strength, and the army must withdraw to the city quickly."
Seeing that the battle situation was not good, Li Yu immediately shouted and ordered to retreat. If the city guards were killed in front, how could they defend the city.
The heavy crossbows and giant crossbows on the city wall did not care whether they would accidentally kill one of their own people, and crazily suppressed the War Dragon Army in front. The heavy crossbows and giant crossbows of the War Dragon Army were also suppressing the crossbows of the Black Evil Army.
The city gate opened wide, and the people at the rear quickly evacuated into the city, while the soldiers fighting in the front covered the retreat of the people behind.
After almost everyone retreated into the city, the city gate was immediately closed.
"Open it for me!"
An agile Dawu from the War Dragon Army had already rushed to the city gate and slashed down with a sword in his hand.
Uh-huh!
A ray of blue sword light struck the steel city gate, but the city gate shone brightly, with runes flashing on it. This slashing sword failed to split the city wall.
The city walls and gates are also engraved with defensive formations, and only King Wu can cause damage to them.
The Black Evil Army withdrew into the city and then stepped onto the city wall. When the Zhanlong Army saw the Heisha Army withdrawing into the city, they began to attack the defenders on the city wall even more frantically.
One by one, the powerful warrior dragon sergeants with amazing jumping ability were ejected tens of meters and rushed towards the city wall.
However, a large number of arrows rained down, and these people were living targets in mid-air. They were shot and fell down. Blood rained from the sky, and corpses fell into the air.
"Siege ladder, go up!"
Jiang Wei personally commanded from the rear.
Crash lala...!
One after another, the siege vehicles rushed forward, ejected from the carriages and ejected the iron staircase bridge, which was set up on the city wall. This ladder was seven or eight meters wide and could rush dozens of people side by side at the same time.
"kill!"
Hundreds of siege ladders were set up, and a large number of dragon warriors stepped on the siege ladders and rushed up with thick shields in hand. On the ladders, they could use their strength to counterattack and dodge.
"Pour fuel on the fire!"
Li Yu immediately ordered, and behind him, the Black Demon Army took out large black wooden barrels from the storage bag, opened the barrels, and sprinkled the golden liquid on the ladder.
Then light a fire.
Wow!
The golden flame burned instantly like gas, and a fire wave soared into the sky on the ladder.
This golden flame was extremely domineering. When the dragon warriors were poured with fire oil or burned, their armor quickly turned red, and each one burned into a burning man.
"ah……"
"Oh, hot, hot, hot!"
There were wailing sounds on the ladder, and these Dragon War Army were quickly burned to ashes. Only the true energy body protection of the warriors above the Condensing Yuan Realm could block this terrifying high temperature.
This fire oil is not ordinary oil, but oil extracted from the bodies of powerful ferocious beasts. When ignited on fire, the temperature is terrifying.
Hundreds of ladders turned into fire ladders, and tens of thousands of people on them quickly turned into ashes.
"Kerosene! Damn it, everyone get out of here!"
When Jiang Wei saw the fire, he became furious, and the Dragon War Army behind them stopped attacking.
The War Dragon Army retreated and attacked the city for the second time, but failed again. However, this time the Heisha Army also suffered heavy casualties, with more than 200,000 dead. If there was no backup force, they would storm the city several times. It's broken.
The Heisha defenders on the city wall cheered when they saw the enemy troops withdrawing, but Li Yu walked into the military tent with a solemn expression.
As soon as he returned to the military account, Li Yu immediately sent a message to the Black Evil Legion, requesting support.
----------------------------------
Tiansai City has a small population, with an average of seven to eight million residents. Once the city is destroyed, no one in the city will survive and will be massacred.
The Jianghu forces in Tiansai City also united as one and joined the defenders one after another to help defend the city.
However, there are only tens of thousands of Jianghu warriors gathered together, so it is difficult to solve the urgent need.
For three days in a row, the Zhan Long Army launched fierce attacks. Li Yu lived up to his reputation as a military genius and led his men to repel four strong attacks by the Zhan Long Army. However, after these four strong battles, the Heisha Army died. Four to five million people were killed, and the Zhan Long Army also suffered casualties of five to six million.
On the fifth day, reinforcements finally arrived.
The leader was a man wearing yellow armor with a handsome face, but the sinister look in his slightly sunken eyes ruined his overall temperament.
Yang Bing, a powerful One-Calamity Martial King in the Black Evil Army, was also from a large military family in the Great Qin Empire and had an extraordinary background.
Behind him was an army of 800,000 Black Demons.
This large army entered the city through the city gate at the back. Li Yu quickly led people to greet them, but when he saw Yang Bing coming, his heart sank slightly.
"My subordinates pay homage to Yang Shuai"
Li Yu held Yang Bing's chest up and made a military salute.
Yang Bing is one of the deputy commanders of the Heisha Group Army, with a military rank named Gao Liyu.
"General Li has worked hard to defend the city."
Yang Bing glanced at Li Yu, smiling but not smiling. There was a hint of coldness in the depths of Li Yu's eyes.
"Serving the country and the people, my subordinates don't have to work hard. I have prepared a military banquet for Yang Shuai to welcome him. Yang Shuai invites you here."
Li Yu's expression remained unchanged, and Yang Bing then entered the military camp with Li Yu.
At the military banquet, the smart generals gathered together and raised their glasses to Yang Bing. After placing the glasses, Yang Bing looked at Li Yu and asked, "General Li, how many defenders are there in the city now?"
"There are still 200,000 defenders in the city. Not counting the troops brought by Yang Shuai, there are still 200,000."
"Two hundred thousand! Huh, the original defenders had 800,000, but now there are only 200,000. It's really a difficult battle for you!"
Yang Bing's words were thorny and he snorted coldly.
Li Yu felt angry when he heard this, but he could only hold it back. There was a story between him and Yang Bing...
