Chapter 783
Hearing the irony in Xiao Xiang's words, Tang Yin not only did not get angry, but nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, how could a six-step thick city wall be knocked down by just a few stone bullets? TXT download!"
"Since Your Highness knows, why do you still..."
"The outer city wall is six steps thick and extremely strong, while the inner city wall is built temporarily, far less thick and not as strong as the outer city wall, and it is also built so high. Princess, do you think the inner city wall can also withstand the heavy blows of the catapult?" Tang Yin asked with a smile.
Xiao Xiang's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and she stared at Tang Yin for a long time without saying a word.
On the battlefield, the catapults of the Feng Army have been launched, and large and small stone bullets have passed the outer city wall of Guankou City and hit the inner city wall fiercely.
As the dense stone bullets hit the wall, dust and stone chips flew on the inner wall, and the roaring sound was endless.
The archers and spirit archers guarding the inner wall were also shocked and could not stand up. They screamed and lay on the ground, looking at the stone bullets flying from the air through the gaps in the arrow stacks in horror.
Rumble-the Feng Army had no fear, and kept pulling the catapult to launch stone bullets, pouring out the stone bullets collected and collected in recent days. There was only one goal, which was the inner wall of Guankou City.
As Tang Yin said, the inner wall of Guankou City was built temporarily, with a width of less than three steps, and it was mainly made of wood and supplemented by stone. It was not very strong, and as an inner wall, people would not have thought that it would be directly hit by the Feng Army outside the city.
The tactics adopted by the Feng Army this time were beyond the expectations of the defenders. Under the continuous impact of stone bullets, many parts of the inner wall in the city were already shaky and there was a possibility of collapse afterwards.
At this time, the defenders saw the intention of the Feng army, and the generals on the outer wall shouted: "Shoot arrows! Shoot rockets! Burn the enemy's trebuchets! Quickly shoot rockets--"
Under the command of the generals, the An army on the outer wall twisted their bows and arrows, and the arrows were all aimed at the Feng army's trebuchets.
Buzz! The sky full of rockets rose from the wall, drawing arcs with fire in the air, and fell into the Feng army's trebuchets.
When the arrows arrived, there was almost no sound of the arrows hitting the wood, only the crisp sound of ding-dong.
The trebuchets placed in front by the Feng army were all fixed with steel armor. At such a long distance, the arrows could not penetrate the steel armor at all. They either bounced to the ground or cut from both sides of the steel armor, posing no threat to the trebuchet mechanism.
The Feng army's trebuchets continued, and soon, with a loud bang, a section of the inner wall in the pass city finally collapsed under the heavy load, and the archers on it also screamed and fell down.
The collapse of this section of the city wall was the beginning of the collapse of the inner city wall. Not long after, another section of the inner city wall collapsed.
The stone bullets fired by the Feng army continued, and the segmented collapse of the inner city wall continued. Looking up, the inner city wall that was originally towering into the sky has now become uneven, like jagged teeth.
Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang, who were watching the battle from behind, could see it clearly, and their expressions were completely different.
Xiao Xiang's face was gloomy, and her little hands had unconsciously grasped the reins of the warhorse tightly, and even her joints began to turn white. On the other hand, Tang Yin had an excited smile on his face, and his eyes were so bright that they were about to shine.
He shouted to the messengers on his left and right: "Order our army's catapults to continue firing stone bullets. There is no need to keep a backup. Just fire as many stone bullets as you can. I want to see the inner city wall of Guankou City become a ruin."
"Yes!" The messenger agreed hurriedly, holding the flag high, urging the horse to run out, and went to the front to convey Tang Yin's order.
The inner wall of Guankou City did not hold out for long. Under the continuous attack of Fengjun's catapults, it collapsed in batches and sections.
Although the defenders also launched catapults to fight back, which also caused some damage to Fengjun's catapults, it could not change the overall situation. (, awesome literature website
Seeing that the inner wall of Guankou City in front had been smashed into pieces, Tang Yin felt that the time for his attack was ripe. He drew his sword and shouted to the people around him: "All troops charge! This time, we will not retreat unless we break the enemy city! Kill!"
"Kill--" With the deafening shouts, Fengjun's formal advancement began. Tang Yin did not stay behind to hold the line. He rushed out with his sword in hand.
Xiao Xiang subconsciously wanted to follow, and the three middle-aged men guarding her reached out and pulled the reins of her warhorse at the same time, and whispered: "It's dangerous ahead. The princess is a precious body. Don't take risks easily!"
In the chaos, who can still distinguish the enemy If I rush forward rashly, I will most likely become a target for the defenders.
Xiao Xiang wanted to rush to the center of the battlefield to see what was going on, but the persuasion of the three middle-aged men made sense. She took a deep breath, suppressed the impulse in her heart, and gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe that Tang Yin can break through Guankou City with just this little trick!"
The three middle-aged men grinned secretly and looked around subconsciously. Fortunately, there were no other Feng people around, otherwise it would be bad if people heard what the princess said.
Tang Yin led the Feng army to charge Guankou City. At this time, although the inner city wall of Guankou City had been damaged and riddled with holes, the outer city wall was still intact, and the An army defending the city had no casualties, and the counterattack against the Feng army was still fierce and unusual.
Just like the Feng Army's siege in the early stage, the Feng Army attacked and was repelled by the defenders. Hundreds of thousands of troops were blocked under the city and could not cross the red line. But for Tang Yin, the current battle situation is very different from the original one.
The inner city wall is not used to stop the Feng Army's advance, and it cannot directly attack the Feng Army outside the city. Its main function is to assist in the defense of the outer city wall. Once the outer city wall is broken by the Feng Army, the power of the inner city wall can be exerted at this time. The archers on it can cause the most fatal blow to the Feng Army attacking the outer city wall. This is also the main reason why Tang Yin, Shangguan Yuanrang, and Jiang Fan all attacked the outer city wall but eventually retreated helplessly.
Now that the inner city wall has been destroyed, the factor that poses the greatest threat to Tang Yin, Shangguan Yuanrang, Jiang Fan and others has disappeared, and they can also fight boldly on the city wall of Guankou City.
Just like last time, Tang Yin had to go through some trouble to rush up the wall of Guankou City, but he finally succeeded and started a face-to-face melee with the enemy on the wall.
This time, there was no enemy occupying the commanding heights to shoot cold arrows at him, and Tang Yin seemed to be at ease and moved freely in the fierce battle.
He held the spiritual sword and rushed back and forth on the wall. Wherever he passed, there were always screams of soldiers and generals around, and groups of white spiritual mist would always condense in the air.
It can be said that Tang Yin's attack was fierce enough, and when Shangguan Yuanrang rushed to the top of the city, the blow to the enemy was devastating.
Shangguan Yuanrang's cultivation had long reached the spiritual realm, and he was at the same stage as Tang Yin, but as a spiritual cultivator of the light system, the power of his spiritual martial arts skills was much greater than that of Tang Yin.
Tang Yin killed the enemies one by one, while in front of Shangguan Yuanrang, the casualties of the enemy were counted by paragraph.
When he casts a skill, there is often no intact enemy on this section of the wall. Looking around, there are broken limbs and arms all over the ground, corpses, blood, broken weapons, broken armor, wailing and groaning.
The Feng Army has Tang Yin, Shangguan Yuanrang, Jiang Fan, Qi Heng and other fierce generals as the spearhead, first piercing several holes in the An Army's defense line, and then the Feng Army outside the city takes advantage of the chaos to attack upwards, tearing the holes in the An Army's defense line bigger and bigger, and finally, it becomes uncontrollable.
The An Army's resistance is also very tenacious, especially there are a large number of rangers in the An Army, they are highly spiritual and powerful, and they pose a great threat to the Feng Army.
The battle between the two sides is still very stalemate. Even if some Feng Army has attacked the top of the city, they can't push the An Army off the wall.
The battle is still endless, and the fierce battle between the two sides lasts from morning to night.
It was already dark, but the Feng army still refused to retreat. The soldiers on both sides fought at night. Looking up, the lights and torches on the city wall made the night as bright as day.
The soldiers on both sides on the city wall were fighting desperately, while the Feng army under the city wall was still launching rounds of charges. Those An army on the city wall who did not engage in close combat with the Feng army were still resisting fiercely and blocking the Feng army from climbing the city.
In the night, shouts, fighting, and screams of dying came one after another. The bloody smell at the scene was disgusting. The entire battlefield had become a huge meat grinder, tearing the lives trapped in the battlefield one by one.
Up to now, the Feng army was exhausted, and the An army was the same. Both sides were gritting their teeth and persisting. The Feng army could not retreat. If they chose to retreat at this time, their morale would be immediately lost, and there would be no possibility of breaking through the pass city in the future.
The An army could not retreat, not because they did not want to, but because they had no way to retreat. The Feng army surrounded them from all sides, blocking all the retreat routes of the An army. If they retreated now and gave up the city wall, they would be slaughtered by the Feng army in the city.
With no way out for both sides, there was no choice but to fight to the death.
In the daytime battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the rangers in the defenders were also seriously damaged. Even those rangers who survived had exhausted most of their spiritual energy. By late at night, the spiritual pressure on the city wall had become very weak, and at this time, it became a stage for dark spiritual practitioners to perform.
After a day of fierce fighting, Tang Yin led Cheng Jin and other dark arrow personnel to launch a counterattack against the An army. On the city wall, there were shadows in front of the An army camp. Every time a shadow passed by, there would be a scream and an An soldier or An general fell in a pool of blood.
The worst part was that Tang Yin and the dark arrows' attacks were continuous. In this situation where the enemy was completely invisible, the defenders were forced to retreat step by step and had no power to fight back.
