"Good heavens! "What's going on?" Qiu Zhen was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. His expression changed as he looked around in alarm.
The workers in the blacksmith's shop also put down what they were doing and walked out to see what was going on.
Tang Yin frowned as he listened. Vaguely, he heard shouts from the Ning Army Camp side.
Before he could figure it out, another loud sound rang out. It was so loud that it sounded like a thunderclap in the clear sky.
His reaction was extremely fast. He was only slightly stunned for a moment before he immediately realized that something was wrong. He rushed out of the blacksmith shop, and as he ran towards the city gate, he shouted at Qiu Zhen: "The Ning Army may have started attacking the city, don't follow them, go back to the Tavern!"
Qiu Zhen did not listen to him. He swung his legs and quickly followed behind Tang Yin.
Seeing that he was following her, Tang Yin bellowed: Why are you following me? What can you do on the battlefield? "
Although his words were heartless, it was still the truth. A scheming Qiu Zhen truly wouldn't have any effect on the battlefield where the two armies fought in close quarters.
Qiu Zhen swallowed his saliva, and said while panting: "At least I can help you with something, or find a few helpers!"
Tang Yin cast a sidelong glance at him, and lazily said more nonsense, casually saying: "Do as you wish!"
His guess was right. The Ning army had begun to attack the city.
The gigantic catapult of rocks smashed one after another onto the walls of the Tong Gate, producing deafening sounds. The huge impact turned into a destructive force, smashing the walls until they were riddled with holes, and sending dirt flying everywhere.
On top of the city walls, soldiers could not dodge in time and were struck by huge rocks that fell from the sky. In an instant, not even their bones were left, turning into a pile of meat paste.
For a moment, the sounds of collisions, shouts, screams, shouts, and the sound of bones breaking rang out on the city walls.
The stone-throwing truck's attack was just the prelude, and it was soon followed by the pressure of the Ning Army's square formation.
The Ningxia army's siege speed was not that fast. They paid attention to the formation and the connection and coordination between the phalanx and the phalanx.
The soldiers in the formation moved slowly, step by step. Of course, this also had something to do with the armor the soldiers were wearing.
They were wearing iron helmets and armor, and at the same time they were very good at protecting themselves, they also sacrificed their speed, making the soldiers look very clumsy when they moved.
The Ning army took the ten thousand man legions as the basic square formation, then the five legions as the square formation to attack the Yan type front formation, then the ten legions as the middle formation, and finally the five legions as the rear formation.
The first time they attacked a city, they were usually on probing grounds, but the Ning Army was contrary to common sense. All of a sudden, they invested 200,000 people into the front lines, and their momentum was terrifying enough.
"The enemy is starting to attack the city, prepare bows and arrows, prepare the Rolling Lumber And Stone —"
The thousand-man commander and captain's shouts rose and fell one after another on top of the wall. Coupled with the thundering footsteps of the enemies as they advanced, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Everyone present tensed up, and a fierce battle was about to break out.
Giant rocks were still incessantly smashing against the city walls. The Feng Country soldiers were hidden behind the arrow battleships, each of them tightly hugging their weapons. Their expressions were filled with nervousness and fear.
Facing so many enemies, under such strong pressure, no one could relax.
When Ning Jun s frontline was only a hundred metres away from Tong Gate City, the grisly catapults finally stopped, but following that, shouts and shouts came from beneath the city, causing Ning Jun Wu Yi's soldiers to speed up and begin attacking.
"Listen to my command!"
Who knew when Zongzheng had reached the tower, bowing down, shouted loudly from above.
Footsteps outside the city drew closer and closer, and more and more cold sweat broke out on the faces of the soldiers, and the hands that held the weapons began to tremble uncontrollably.
No one said a word. The entire city was deathly quiet. All that was left was the sound of panting and breathing, as well as the sound of orderly footsteps coming from outside the city.
The silence before the great battle was even more unbearable and depressing than during the battle. The nervousness was not released and could only be suppressed. It made one almost go crazy.
When the lead member of Ning Jun was only fifty metres away from the city wall, Zongzheng Guangxiao finally gave the order to attack. He used all his strength to wave the banner in his hand and shouted: "Release the arrows!"
"Release the arrows! Release the arrows!"
The officers close by, some distance away, repeated his order.
Following a simultaneous whoosh, Feng Soldier who were originally hiding behind the arrow stack all stood up and shot towards the Ning soldiers below the city walls.
The arrows were as dense as raindrops. All of a sudden, he saw a row of black clouds float out from the top of the city, rapidly descending towards the Ning Army's square formation.
Ding ding dang dang! Pu, Pu, Pu!
The sound of iron weapons colliding together, the sound of armor breaking, and heart-tearing and lung-splitting screams resonated under the city walls. In just a split-second, hundreds of soldiers of the Ning Army were struck down by the arrows.
However, this did not affect the speed of Ning Jun's advance. The concentrated amount of soldiers were like machines without emotions, forgetting about life and death, forgetting about fear, and moving forward mechanically.
"Release the arrows, release the arrows, continue releasing the arrows!"
Amidst the shouts of the officers, the Feng Soldier began the second, third, and fourth round … Shooting together.
Soon, the soldiers were all numb to it. They just shot arrow after arrow at random, and there was no need to aim at the situation. Under the city were the enemy forces, and with every shot, as long as one was strong enough, they would be able to shoot and injure the enemy.
Even under such dense numbers of Arrow Rain, Ning Jun still stepped on the corpses of his comrades and pushed his way to the front of Tong Gate City. The long prepared ladders were erected, and then the Ning soldiers swarmed up like ants.
At this time, the Rolling Lumber And Stone s that were prepared on the city wall came in handy. There were soldiers who threw rolling logs, smashed rocks, overturned burning Pyretic Oil, and used long bamboo poles to move away from the cloud ladder.
The top and bottom of the city walls seemed to have exploded, and people were shouting and shouting. From time to time, it was possible to see Ning soldiers screaming in pain as they fell from the sky, looking just like dumplings.
"Release the arrows!"
Ning Jun's army was in the front line of attack, and the hundred thousand soldiers in the middle line had already entered their range. Along with the high-ranking Ning Jun's shout, one hundred thousand soldiers and one hundred thousand strong bows and crossbows all shot out at the same time.
The might of the bow and arrow of Ning Country was second to none among the nine great dukes.
A hundred thousand arrows falling from the sky? How terrifying was that?
The Feng Soldier on the city wall had not been able to see what had happened clearly, when suddenly they realized that the sky had darkened. Raising their heads, they realized that it was actually the arrows that covered the sky and covered the earth that blocked out the sun.
At this moment, if anyone wanted to dodge, it was already too late.
In just an instant, all of the Feng Soldier s that were smacking Rolling Lumber And Stone s and toppling Pyretic Oil s were shot to death like hedgehogs, some directly fell to the ground and died, while some fell from the top of the city walls to the bottom, their condition extremely tragic.
"Stand up the shield, stand up the shield, be careful of the enemy's bow and arrows!"
Zongzheng looked down from high up in the sky and knew that the enemy's one volley of arrows had already killed more than a hundred people on his side. If he were to take them head on, in a few rounds, perhaps his own twenty thousand people would be defeated on the city wall.
He sighed in his heart, thinking that the Ning Country Arrows Formation really deserved its reputation. The walls of the Tong Gate were extremely high, and normal Arrows Formation would be very difficult to shoot at, and even if he could shoot at them, their might would be greatly reduced. Ning Army Arrows Formation, on the other hand, was too terrifying.
Hearing Zongzheng's words, the Feng Soldier raised their shields, thus, the threat of the enemy's arrow formations became weaker, but due to the inconvenience of their movements, their counterattacks towards the attacking soldiers became much weaker.
Not long after, a portion of the city walls were broken by the soldiers. A large number of soldiers climbed up the ladder and fought face to face with the Feng Country guards.
The Ning Country Arrows were powerful, but in terms of close combat, Ning Bing was far inferior to Feng Soldier in terms of bravery and battle.
Feng Country were a nation that had been in wars for many years, so their consumption of them was huge, so their equipment for weapons and armors was far behind that of the other Dukes, but the soldiers were exceptionally valiant in battle, even when fighting, they did not care for their lives.
When Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen rushed to the bottom of the city wall, what they saw was exactly this scene. The entire city wall was a mess, there were people fighting in close proximity, attacking the enemies on the ladders, shooting arrows downward, the battle sounds were ear-piercing, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
If it was any other person seeing this scene, they would be shocked, but Tang Yin was not. Not only was he not afraid, he was even inexplicably excited from the bottom of his heart.
In addition, he was the Spirit Cultivator of the Dark World. To him, fighting was equivalent to training.
"Why did you come here without wearing any armor? Hurry up and go back to the Tavern! "
There were still many Soldiers And Generals of Feng Army standing below the city walls. After all, the city walls were narrow, and could not hold up to twenty thousand soldiers. The rest of the people all hid under the walls to avoid the Ning Army's arrow formation.
Tang Yin looked around, and the one who spoke was none other than Wu Mei who was mixed within the soldiers.
"There's a battle going on above the city, what are you doing hiding here?" Tang Yin asked, after that, he took the steel blade from a soldier's hands and said: "Brother, let me use your blade!" With that, he turned around and ran up the city wall.
Seeing that, Wu Mei was shocked, and shouted: "Are you crazy?! You're wounded and you don't have any armor, so what are you trying to do? "
Without even turning his head, Tang Yin laughed out loud and said: "If we don't fight, how will my injuries recover?"
Wu Mei was stunned, she did not understand what he meant.
She wanted to stop Tang Yin, but Qiu Zhen ran over while gasping for breath. He gasped for breath and said: "General Wu cultivates in the darkness energy, fighting should be able to speed up the recovery of his injuries."
To Wu Mei, the Dark Spirit Cultivator was just a legend, she basically did not know a single thing. As for the miraculous effects of the Dark Spirit Qi, she naturally had no idea either.
She frowned and muttered to herself, "There is such a thing. But even so, it is too dangerous for him to go up now!"
"That's right!" But who can stop him? " Qiu Zhen laughed bitterly.
Wu Mei was worried for Tang Yin's safety, she could not stay any longer under the wall, so she moved and said: "I will help him!"
