Volume 10, Chapter 774
Chapter 774
While Tang Yin was shooting arrows to suppress the An army archers, a tower was also pushed over by the Feng army. The front of the tower was wrapped in iron sheets, so it was not afraid of arrows, but it could not prevent the stone bullets thrown by the catapult, which was also the weapon that posed the greatest threat to the tower.
As the tower was pushed to the front of the city wall, the surrounding Feng army soldiers also hid behind the tower. Tang Yin put down his bow and arrow, took two steps at a time, came to the back of the tower, and quickly climbed to the top of the tower along the ladder inside.
At the top of the tower, there is a platform two or three meters wide, on which dozens of soldiers can stand. When attacking the city, the soldiers on the tower can shoot face-to-face at the enemy on the top of the city. In addition, the baffle in front of the platform can be lowered as a plank bridge, allowing the soldiers on the tower to rush directly to the top of the city. The tower can be used as an arrow tower or a troop transport, which can be said to be a sharp weapon for siege.
After Tang Yin climbed onto the platform of the tower, he shouted to the soldiers below: "Push forward! Push forward as much as possible, close to the city wall!"
The soldiers pulling the ropes below responded in unison, and people pulled or pushed the tower close to the city wall with all their strength.
Tang Yin was not idle at this time, holding a longbow, and continuously shot arrows at the An army on the top of the city. His archery skills may not be very exquisite, but his power is amazing. As long as he hits the An army, he will be able to penetrate the armor on the opponent's body.
The An army was also quite afraid of the Feng army's tower. While launching concentrated arrows at the tower, another An soldier directed the catapult in the city to adjust the direction and hit the tower with stone bullets.
When Tang Yin was shooting arrows continuously, he suddenly saw a stone bullet in the city coming towards him. Without thinking, he put down the bow and arrow in his hand, drew out his sword, and spiritualized it. Then, he roared and slashed at the stone bullet flying in the air.
Swish! The spiritual wave shot out and went straight to the stone bullet. There was a crisp sound in his ear, and the stone bullet split into two halves. Tang Yin immediately swung his sword again, and also shot out spiritual waves, cutting the already two halves of the stone bullet in the middle.
After being cut by two spiritual waves, the stone bullet split into four pieces and fell to the ground from midair. Just after blocking this stone bullet, several more flew out from the city, and all of them were heading for the tower where Tang Yin was.
Tang Yin shook his head secretly. If he continued to waste time like this, he would not be able to shoot all the stone bullets in the city even if he tired himself to death. He shouted to the left and right: "Put down the baffle!"
The wind soldiers on the platform heard his order and hurriedly put down the baffle in front of them.
Tang Yin took two steps back, gathered all his strength, and then rushed forward at the fastest speed. At this time, the tower was still seven or eight meters away from the city wall. Even if the baffle was put down, there was still a width of five or six meters between them.
He rushed over the baffle, and then jumped high up. He was in the air, swinging his spirit sword, and while using his spirit wave to cut off the stone bullets, he also drew an arc in the air and fell to the top of the city.
The An army on the top of the city could never have dreamed that the opponent could jump over directly from such a long distance, just like flying with wings on his back.
People were stunned for a while before they reacted. They gathered together and shouted loudly, and raised their spears and long guns high, aiming at the falling Tang Yin.
Boom! Tang Yin's falling body hit the center of the crowd. For a moment, it was unknown how many weapons were broken and how many An soldiers and generals were knocked over.
Because of his strong inertia, Tang Yin rolled forward continuously after landing, and his body rolled over the city wall directly and turned to the inside of the city wall.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough. At the moment he fell off the city wall, he grabbed the edge of the city wall and hung on the top of the city wall. The An soldiers around thought they had an opportunity, so they rushed forward, stabbing Tang Yin with their spears and lances.
They were fast, but Tang Yin's sword was faster. He held the edge of the city wall with one hand, and swung the spirit sword horizontally with the other hand. There was a cracking sound, and the ankles of several An soldiers were cut off by his spirit sword. People screamed and fell on their backs.
At this time, another An soldier rushed forward and stabbed Tang Yin's palm holding the edge of the wall with his spear.
The latter's eyes flashed, and his body first moved to the left, then swung to the right with force, directly flipped over the city wall, and kicked the An soldier with the gun off the city wall.
He hadn't stood firm on the top of the city when he heard the sound of breaking wind behind him, and then there was a crisp sound of clanging from the spirit armor behind him.
Tang Yin stumbled forward a step due to the impact. He looked back and saw that it was a steel arrow that had been nailed into his back, almost breaking the spiritual armor on his back.
He looked up and saw a row of sharpshooters from the An army standing on the inner city wall. These people were all spiritual practitioners, and the bows and arrows they used were all made of fine steel. Now the sharp edges of the steel arrows were all aimed at him.
It was said to be late, but it was fast. Tang Yin had just been hit by an arrow when two more arrows flew over from the air, hitting the back of his neck and the back of his heart. Tang Yin slightly turned his body to avoid the arrows. When the arrows were about to pass by him, he moved quickly and caught two steel arrows at the same time. As the spiritual energy in his palms spread out, the two steel arrows were spiritualized. He threw them back at the inner city wall and shouted, "I'll give them back to you!"
The two spiritualized arrows were divided among the two sharpshooters of the Anbing. One of them reacted faster and directly blocked with the spiritual bow in his hand. With a clang, the spiritual arrows spun in the air and flew to the side.
The other sharpshooter failed to dodge and was pierced in the throat by the spiritual arrow. With a puff, only the tail of the arrow was left in front of his throat.
Tang Yin had no time to continue attacking the enemies on the inner wall, as the An army on the outer wall where he was located had already swarmed over. A large number of An soldiers rushed forward, the An soldiers in front held their ground with heavy shields, and the An soldiers behind attacked Tang Yin with long halberds.
Tang Yin was also surprised that the remnants of the An army had become so well-trained and fast. Seeing the encirclement of heavy shields around him getting smaller and smaller, and the sharp edge of the long halberds getting closer and closer to him, he shouted and swung the spirit sword in his hand with all his strength.
Crack, crack! As the spirit sword swept over, the long halberds stabbed around broke one after another, but this could not stop the attack of the An army.
People quickly switched to long spears and spears, almost attacking Tang Yin. The latter sneered, and suddenly black flames emanated from his body. At the same time, the black fire attached to the spirit sword.
The surrounding An soldiers were all shocked. Before they could react to what was going on, Tang Yin, who was in the encirclement, had already jumped up with all his strength, jumped over the heavy shields of the An soldiers, and fell directly into the crowd of An soldiers.
Puff! His falling body was accompanied by a long cold light. When he landed, an An soldier was cut in half from head to toe, and his internal organs were all over the ground, but there was no blood, only white mist emanating from his body.
Taking advantage of the moment when the An soldiers around him were shocked, Tang Yin drew his sword continuously, cutting more than ten An soldiers around him in one breath. His ferocity made the nearby An soldiers retreat involuntarily, but soon someone else came up.
A spiritual practitioner holding a spirit spear rushed to Tang Yin, and the spirit spear was as fast as a spirit snake, taking Tang Yin's throat, chest and lower abdomen. Tang Yin's sword was faster, and with three cold rays flashing, the opponent's three spears were blocked by him.
The spiritual practitioner wanted to put away the spear and change his moves, but Tang Yin took the opportunity to move forward and grabbed the spear body of the spirit spear first. The dark fire on his palm immediately spread to the spirit spear and burned the opponent's hands directly.
"Ah——" the man screamed, instinctively let go of the spirit spear, and retreated.
He looked down and saw that the spirit armor on his palms had been burned. This was thanks to his quick reaction and his timely abandonment of the spear, otherwise Tang Yin's dark fire would have jumped onto his body and his life would have been in danger.
The spiritual practitioner secretly cried out that he was no match for Tang Yin, so he did not fight with Tang Yin and retreated.
Tang Yin was not willing to let him go, so he chased him. At the same time, he raised the spirit spear he had just taken high, aimed at the back of the spiritual practitioner, and pretended to smash it down.
However, at this time, the arrows from the inner city wall came again. Tang Yin's raised spirit spear did not hit the defeated spiritual practitioner, but turned around and hit the flying spirit arrow.
Clang! The spirit arrow was knocked to the ground by the spirit spear. Tang Yin did not even look at it, but used the spirit spear in his hand as a javelin, threw it fiercely at the archer on the inner city wall.
Puff! The spirit spear pierced the man's chest, and with a scream, he fell off the wall with the spear. He had just dealt with the archer when three arrows flew from the inner wall. At the same time, several spiritual practitioners surrounded Tang Yin again.
There was no chance for him to breathe. Now Tang Yin finally realized the strength of the An army's three-dimensional defense. Even if he had successfully climbed to the top of the city, he was still being attacked by the inner and outer walls. There were enough enemy troops on the outer wall, and the spirit archers on the inner wall were a huge threat.
At the critical moment of life and death, Tang Yin didn't care about looking good or ugly. He rolled on the ground and rolled out sideways.
Snap, snap, snap! Three spirit arrows were nailed to the outer wall at once, and more than half of the arrows were embedded in the bricks of the wall, which showed how powerful these spirit arrows were.
Tang Yin was about to get up when two spirit swords came from his side. He lay on the ground, held his spirit sword horizontally, and took the opponent's heavy sword.
Clang! Two spiritual knives chopped on the spiritual sword at the same time, and several bricks of the city wall under Tang Yin's back were shattered.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the other party put away the sword, he jumped up from the ground, his body bounced more than two meters high, and swept down with all his strength, slashing at the two spiritual cultivators holding knives.
The two men didn't think about it, and raised their spiritual knives to block. There were two sounds of "clicks" and "clicks". The spiritual knives of the two were cut off by Tang Yin's sword, and the sword edge also passed over their foreheads.
Half of the head fell from the top of the two people's heads, and the two bodies also fell straight on their backs, and a large amount of white mist emanated from their bodies.
"Be careful of his sword! Everyone should be careful of his sword!" The spiritual cultivators and soldiers of the An army around saw it clearly, and immediately realized that the spiritual sword in Tang Yin's hand was a precious sword that could cut iron like mud. They screamed desperately to remind their own personnel.
