Following the sound of drums that shook the sky, there were huge fireballs that cut through the sky, whistling towards Zhu'an City. The huge sound broke through the sky, like a wild beast roaring.

The soldiers guarding Zhu'an City were already accustomed to this voice and did not care much. Everyone performed their own duties and waited for the general's orders.

But soon, many soldiers discovered that the attack of the long-range catapult seemed to be much denser than before. The ignited fireball kept hitting Zhuan City. The originally isolated fire zone had long been destroyed and was already a ruin. Now, the houses around the ruins were still ignited by raging fire.

Rujun's sudden violent attacks were beyond the expectations of the defender Ding Jiang. In his opinion, with Ye Guan's shock in the city, the enemy's attack should be tentative, but the frequency of long-range catapult attacks at present is far beyond the previous attacks, as if they were going to launch a general attack.

Naturally, there is no need to worry too much about the buildings in the city. Long before Ye Guan came back, Ding Jiang had already sent sergeants to take defensive measures. The buildings in the areas that have been attacked by long-range catapults were all demolished, and flammable beams and other items were moved to areas that were not suitable for attack. In the nearby areas, several houses were demolished every other street, which was also to prevent the spread of fire and burn the entire city.

What Ding Jiang cares about now was the movements of the enemy. He leaned over and looked from the battlements to the distance. Under the photocopy of the night, he could vaguely see the enemy preparing a square formation in the distance, with many enemy troops densely packed, and he really wanted to attack the general.

Seeing the enemy's movements, Ding Jiang frowned slightly, but did not send anyone to ask Ye Guan for instructions. Judging from his long-standing experience on the battlefield, even if the enemy wants to launch a general attack, the safest way is to first arrange a small number of troops to attack, understand the city's defense focus and weaknesses, and then concentrate troops to advance, so as to achieve the best results.

The enemy did the same in the past few days. They were not in a hurry to attack, but were constantly testing. Last night, Ding Jiang thought that the enemy was finally going to attack in general, but with Ye Guan's sudden arrival, the enemy gave up the idea of ​​attacking immediately. It can be seen that even the generals of the enclave were already afraid of Ye Guan's reputation.

Today, if we regroup, we will definitely focus on tentative attacks. We will never launch a general attack from the beginning, unless the enemy's general is a simple-minded person.

Ding Jiang retreated, leaned against the battlements beside him, smiled at the soldiers beside him, and said, "Send the order to keep all the soldiers calm and restless. Wait for my order. If the enemy does not launch a general attack, all the soldiers who ambushed will not move no matter what the situation of the battle has developed."

The soldiers on the side were obviously stunned for a moment. Ding Jiang had issued this military order once before. Why did he say it again now? He was a little stunned, but he didn't say anything. He responded and went to the lower place to pass the order.

Ding Jiang's expression was very relaxed, as if he didn't take the enemy seriously at all. He kept talking and laughing with the soldiers around him, but he knew in his heart that the attack behind the enemy would not be so easy to deal with. It was not easy to rely on the two thousand defenders on the top of the city to block tens of thousands of soldiers from the enemy.

I felt it was difficult, but I could not express anything on my face, and I could only show my confidence. This was not a complaint about Ye Guan’s plan, but to really make the enemy believe that it had lost its combat effectiveness and had no ambush, it was really difficult and not so easy to do. But if I could not do this, I would not get the opportunity to counterattack the enemy. This battle and the grasp of the fight are very important.

"Dong...Dong..."

The sound of drum beats in the enemy's phalanx resounded in his ears. With the sound of drum beats, a neat step began to come from afar. Then, the warning from sentries was immediately heard in his ears. The horn of the enemy's attack began.

"All members are ready!" Ding Jiang immediately stood up, pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed directly at the city, and shouted: "The enemy is coming, the soldiers are cheering up, catch up with the former, and kill without mercy!"

"yes!"

All the soldiers stood up, bowed and unsheathed their swords, shouted like thunder, and looked like torches, and each performed his duties and stared at the enemy formation that was constantly advancing in the distance.

They have seen this situation more and there is no feeling of nervousness at all. The walls of Zhu'an City are so strong and the city gates have been strengthened. The enemy attacked several times, and the rushing car rushed to the city, and now there are still a few rushing cars under the city.

The remains and the thick cast iron gate are not something that ordinary rushing cars can break open. Looking around, the enemy is moving in a square formation, at most two large groups of people, and just a few people, it is impossible to take down Zhu'an City or Zhu'an City under the defense of the Dongwang Mansion.

The morale of the soldiers of the Dongwang Mansion was high and they did not take a square formation of the enemy seriously.

The enemy phalanx advanced very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached a distance in front. The enemy's shields were raised in front to block the crossbows at the top of the city for the crossbows behind them. The soldiers behind them lined up closely and raised the small shields in their hands. In the phalanx, four city-pushing towers, two city-striking cars, and suggested catapults were all pushed up. Ding Jiang looked at him and even saw the shadow of the heavy crossbow in the middle of the enemy phalanx.

"Hey, they really brought some good things to come this time." Ding Jiang teased: "Brothers, the new toy is here, prepare for the battle!"

Under Ding Jiang's order, all the soldiers held their breath and focused their minds. The crossbow in their hands aimed at the enemy not far away. Just when they entered the range, Ding Jiang ordered them and immediately fired thousands of arrows.

"Wow, wow..." The enemy's phalanx armor was clearly distinguished and his steps were neat, making a neat sound of armor rubbing. When approaching the city wall, he was full of steps and slowly advanced forward.

Ding Jiang frowned slightly as he looked at the catapult and heavy crossbow in the enemy's phalanx.

If in normal times, facing such an attack from the enemy, Ding Jiang would definitely order the ambushing cavalry on the flanks to be ready to attack to destroy the enemy's siege equipment at any time. However, the situation is special now. There is no ambushing cavalry at the left and right wings, and there are no equipment for catapults on the top of his city. This really becomes a problem. Although the walls of Zhu'an City are solid, and there will be no big problems when the stones of the catapults come up, the splash of stones will definitely cause damage to the soldiers defending the city. This is something Ding Jiang would never want to see.

The only thing that can be used is the only heavy crossbow in the back gate guardhouse. The heavy crossbow only has five crossbow arrows. If used now, it will not be able to deal with the enemy's large forces later.

After a little distracted, the enemy's phalanx had already entered the range. Ding Jiang's eyebrows were condensed, and he looked at the direction of the enemy and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

With a command, thousands of arrows were fired at once.

The strategic supplies of Zhu'an City were all left behind when Shen Tuyan hurriedly abandoned the city, and they could withstand consumption. On the top of the city, bows and arrows shot down like rain, shooting straight towards the advancing enemy formation not far away. As the arrow feathers fell, the enemy immediately suffered casualties.

Although the enemy's armor was fully equipped with large shields in front, they could not stop all positions. From time to time, the enemy soldiers fell down. The soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward, raised the big shield of the fallen man, and moved forward again.

The combat qualities shown by the opponent's army are not like a temporary soldier, but like a long-term training army, with moderate tension and relaxation. Although they are still a little flustered in the formation changes, they cannot be described as new recruits.

The advancement was in progress, and the enemy did not stop advancing due to a small number of casualties, and there were no cowards or escapees in the square formation. All the soldiers stood forward with the arrow feathers on the top of the city, and they walked forward with difficulty. With each step, many corpses were left behind.

Until twenty steps forward, the enemy's large shield suddenly pulled, and the crossbowmen hidden behind the large shield suddenly shot out the arrow feathers, and the arrow feathers roared towards the head of the city. The soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion dodged one after another, but some of them were unable to dodge and fell to the ground, and some died immediately.

"Be careful of enemy crossbow arrows, prepare for rolling stones and wood!" Ding Jiang stood on the top of the city and commanded loudly. At the same time, he was observing the movements of the enemy's catapult. Large siege equipment such as the catapult is not so easy to advance, but the victory is that the range is very long and cannot be achieved by crossbow arrows. At this moment, at the end of the enemy's phalanx, two catapults have been equipped, and the huge rolling stones are placed in the shaking, ready to be activated.

"Take! Secret!"

As Ding Jiang shouted, two enemy catapults were activated at the same time, and two huge ignited fireballs rushed straight to the top of the city, roaring to the "boom" and hit the city wall, picking up a dazzling fire.

Due to Ding Jiang's reminder, many soldiers hid behind battlements to avoid them. The two fireballs did not have any impact on the sergeants defending the city. During the interval of the catapult, the sergeants on the city poked their heads out again and shot arrows under the city.

As the enemy's phalanx continued to advance, both sides were casualties, both sides were killed and killed, but the casualties ratio of the defending city was much lower than that of the siege. After the enemy dropped a piece of corpse, the soldiers in the front row finally arrived at the city, and immediately raised the large shield over their heads. Then, the city tower was slowly pushed forward and laid on the edge of the city wall.

"Boom!"

Two more burning fireballs bombarded and hit the city head straight on. The other party obviously adjusted the angle. The two fireballs exploded on the city wall. Ding Jiang saw with his own eyes that the name of the book died in a bad life when the fireball exploded. The raging fire burned on the wall, and the left and right soldiers avoided one after another. At this moment, the enemy's pushing city tower arrived.

"Boom!" The wooden bridge of the city tower was built on the top of the city. Immediately, several enemy troops rushed up the city wall. Seeing the soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, they raised their swords and slashed.

Ding Jiang's eyes were red, and he waved the long sword in his hand, and killed the enemy soldiers. After chopping down an enemy army, he shouted: "Roll the thunder stones and roll the wood! The rest of the people immediately destroyed the Pucheng Tower!"

As he said that, another knife was cut straight into the enemy who was rushing towards him to the ground. Then he flashed and rushed straight to the Pucheng Tower in front of him.

The thunderstone rolling wood was immediately pushed down from the top of the city. The enemy troops holding large shields under the city could not withstand such heavy pressure and were immediately killed or injured, but the remaining enemy troops still rushed to the top of the city along the city tower. At the same time, the enemy's rushing car had already arrived in front of the city gate.

"Turethane!" Ding Jiang roared. At the same time, his men had already reached the edge of a Push City Tower. After chopping down an enemy, they jumped onto the Push City Tower instantly and kicked the enemy in front of him. He wanted to raise the enemy with one kick and then use his sword to destroy the Push City Tower.

But this inadvertent kick was easily avoided by the enemy on the opposite side. Then, Ding Jiang immediately felt a chill all over his body, and a steel knife slashed towards him.

Ding Jiang's heart was shocked. Before, when the enemy was fighting, he did not encounter a single enemy. All the enemy soldiers who rushed to him were killed by him. Ding Jiang had the level of warrior cultivation, and in the army with ordinary people as the main component, such cultivation was already top-notch.

Before he could think about it, Ding Jiang suddenly dodged to the side and dodged the oncoming long sword. At the same time, the long sword in his hand was horizontal, and the fighting spirit in his body burst out, pointing straight to the enemy's face.

"when."

A crisp sound came, and the enemy quickly drew his sword, directly blocking Ding Jiang's hasty attack. Ding Jiang stood firm and then looked at his opponent.

The person in front of him was of medium figure, dressed in an ordinary soldier, and was placed in the crowd, without any conspicuousness, but the person gave Ding Jiang the feeling that his cultivation was no longer inferior to him. The man's eyes flashed in his eyes, and there was a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at him.

Suddenly, Ding Jiang immediately realized something, and then he wanted to give a loud order, but the noise was not heard. He turned to look and saw several other city towers killing several enemy troops with high cultivation and rushing into the soldiers of the Eastern Palace as if they were in a state of no one. In just a few moments, several people died of death. In just a few moments, there were already signs of losing in front of the city.

"Damn it!" Ding Jiang's eyes were about to split, but suddenly felt the cold wind coming from behind him. He subconsciously waved his knife to block it. A crisp sound of weapon impact came. The enemy's attack was extremely powerful. He directly retracted Ding Jiang's long sword, slapped him on his armor and put his body involuntarily.

I was shocked and immediately calmed down. Facing a cultivator of the same level, I could not feel distracted, otherwise I would probably die under the other party's knife and would not be able to save the city wall at that time.

This thought flashed through Ding Jiang's mind. Before he could stand firm, the enemy's long sword attacked again. He made a move in his heart, called the fighting spirit of his whole body, and immediately killed the opponent.

On the top of the city, with the addition of several masters of cultivation, the situation immediately changed. The two thousand soldiers arranged by the Eastern Palace on the city wall were only a small number of cultivators, and most generals at the centurion or above were only at the level of cultivator and were not opponents of warrior-level enemies. After just a few encounters, more than a dozen people died of life.

For a moment, the shouts of killing were heard across the city wall. At the city gate, the enemy's rushing cars were constantly hitting the gate of Zhu'an City.
Chapter completed!
