On the other side, there is a small affiliated town of Lang Fang, Nan Yicheng. Several ghost and gray generals are leading 20,000 troops to attack Nanyicheng.
The defenders continued to use forts to attack, but could not stop this group of ghostly grays. These gray men are not wearing armor now, but their defense can easily block the cannons.
Helpless, the city lord ordered each fort to attack the boulder instead, trying to weaken the power of the boulder.
The power of the boulder has been reduced a lot, but the ghost generals are not stupid either. They immediately dispatched the battering ram troops.
Seeing the troops with ten battering rams preparing to attack, the deputy city lord was very nervous.
But the city owner said he was not panicked: "Don't be afraid, we have a moat and they haven't filled it in yet. I want to see how they attack the city?"
Before the battering ram troops charged, a man wearing domineering armor slowly walked towards the small town. Judging from the style and radiance of this armor, this should be an A-level armor.
"City Lord, that armor seems to be an A-level armor. When did the Ghost Gray Man become so rich?"
"I recognize the style of that armor. It belongs to General Zhang, the leader of the Langfang City Guard Group." The city lord's eyes were full of anger and sorrow.
"Could this person be General Zhang?" the deputy city lord said in shock.
"No, it's unlikely. I know General Zhang's character. He is my senior. He will definitely not betray Lord Liu Chuan."
"So, General Zhang must have died in the battle?"
"I don't know, but it's probably more serious than bad." The city lord said sadly.
As the ghost general came closer, the guards fired cannons at him.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The opponent just used his fists to disperse the impact of the cannon.
"It's so strong. I thought I could use up some of the armor's durability, but it was shattered by his power." The deputy city lord became increasingly uneasy.
"His strength is constantly increasing. It has now reached around 400. It is estimated that the maximum strength is far less than that."
"Then what does he want to do? Does he want to blast the city wall with just his fists?"
"How is it possible? Even if the strength is very high, hitting the city wall will have no effect."
When the other party was still ten meters away from the moat, he suddenly stretched out his hand towards the ground under his feet.
Earth flow escape!
Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet cracked open, and then the soil rushed out like a flood. The large amount of soil rushed towards the city walls and gates.
Seeing the terrible flood of soil rushing over, the defenders unconsciously took a few steps back in fear. Even though I knew there was a barrier, I was still uncontrollably scared.
With the huge rumbling sound, the whole town shook.
The huge impact did not break the city wall, but it filled the moat to flat ground.
"Uwuwuwu..." The siege horn sounded, and the troops with ten battering rams immediately rushed towards the city wall.
"It's over, it's over, I can't even last half an hour if I continue like this." The deputy city leader broke out in a cold sweat.
"Alas, the lord asked me to hold on for one day, but I couldn't even hold on for three hours." The city lord gritted his teeth.
"City Lord, time is running out. Why don't you let the ghost soldiers come out from the middle door to fight? Maybe we can stop the battering ram troops."
"Go out of the city to stop them? If you go out of the city, you will die."
The city lord knows the strength of the ghost soldiers very well. They are similar to the ghost grays. Unless they have a numerical advantage, they will die after leaving the city.
However, several ghost soldiers actually came to the city lord and asked to fight.
"City Lord, we are willing to go out of the city and fight."
"There are 20,000 troops outside, and your ghost army only has more than 400 people. Have you ever thought about what would happen if you didn't leave the city?"
"We know, but we have also noticed that these ghost grays have no armor. Except for a very few who have armor, the rest have no armor at all. The weapons in our hands can break through the defense, and I promise to kill them one by one."
The city lord looked at the glowing red sword in his hand, and then looked at the ghostly gray man outside. Indeed, red weapons can break through defenses and may easily kill those battering ram troops.
This time, only 20,000 troops were dispatched for the attack by the Ghostly Grays, and their average strength value was around 80. It was obvious that Feng Du underestimated Nan Yicheng, and even thought that it was just a small town that could be easily defeated.
"What's your name?" the city lord asked.
"My name is Geng Guan. I am the captain of the 27th Team of the Langfang City Guard Regiment. My military rank is captain."
Note: The military ranks of each force are basically the same as before the end of the world, but there are some differences between medium-sized forces and large-sized forces. For example, in a medium-sized force, a captain is equivalent to a second lieutenant in a large-sized force. Because there are many people in large forces, competition is very fierce. The captains of a guard regiment are basically sergeants, and a small number of them will reach the rank of second lieutenant.
Gengguan belongs to the Liu Chuan force and is a medium-sized force. Its strength is similar to the sergeant of the Jiangzhi force. But Geng Guan transformed into a ghost and god level, and his strength increased greatly. In terms of strength, Geng Guan is now equivalent to the strength of a colonel in Jiang Zhi's forces, a regiment commander who can command 50,000 people.
"Geng Guan, these more than 400 ghost soldiers were originally members of the Langfang City Guard Group, that is, your comrades. Do you have a good relationship with them?"
"This is natural. They are all in the same group. Some are in the same group and have been with me through life and death."
"Then let me ask you, if you were asked to lead them, would they obey?"
"It's hard to say, some people have the same military rank as me."
"But at least there's no one with a higher rank than you, right?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I will now make you the leader of the Nanyicheng Guard Group, with authority second only to me and the deputy city lord. Now, I will order you to lead the ghost soldiers and go out of the city to kill the siege ram troops. In addition, I will give you B-class armor for everyone.”
Upon hearing this, the deputy city lord said excitedly: "City lord, are you kidding me? Our small town currently has no inventory of B-class armor."
"Take off our soldiers' armor and put it on them."
"City Lord, are you serious?"
Recalling that after the fall of Langfang City, Liu Chuan sent people to urgently send a thousand sets of B-class armor and a thousand C-class red weapons, hoping that the city lord would do his best to delay the enemy soldiers.
C-level red weapons are relatively low-purity red weapons, but their attack power is still between 80 and 120, depending on the strength of the user.
A thousand sets of B-level armors and a thousand C-level red weapons were already considered a loss for Liu Chuan, who was not very wealthy.
As long as the soldiers in Nanyicheng are equipped with such equipment, they can organize street fighting and guerrilla warfare when the city is broken, which will greatly hinder the ghosts and grays and create a long-term harassment situation, making it impossible for them to move south smoothly.
The city lord held Geng Guan's hands tightly and said seriously: "Don't let me down. Just rush out and kill as many as you can. Kill him once and then come back."
"Don't worry, I know that even if each of us kills ten people, we can still kill thousands of them."
"Remember, you must come back alive."
About ten minutes later, the middle gate of Nanyicheng slowly opened.
One of the gray generals saw this and said excitedly: "They have opened the door. Commander, let's rush in and kill them."
The leader raised his right hand and said seriously: "No, I just opened the middle door and wait and see what happens."
After the middle door was completely opened, hundreds of spearmen and swordsmen in armor rushed out, and they attacked the battering ram troops.
The battering ram soldiers were carrying the heavy battering ram. They could not move their hands and could not resist at all, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The leader was immediately dumbfounded: "These soldiers are very powerful, are they elites?"
One of the generals shouted: "Commander, charge immediately and cover the evacuation of the battering ram troops. Be careful as they carry away their battering rams."
"It makes sense, charge immediately." The leader shouted.
"Wuwuwu..." The ghost gray man's horn sounded, and countless soldiers rushed towards the soldiers near the gate of Nanyicheng.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The spearman stabbed straight ahead, killing one of them instantly. But at once dozens of soldiers were knocked down, but the soldiers were very strong and pushed them away, took out their daggers and continued to stab them.
But even so, the soldiers were still outnumbered and were knocked down one after another. Although those ghostly gray men had no armor, they were numerous in number. They swarmed over and held down the soldiers.
Many soldiers had their helmets taken off and their throats cut.
The city lord who had been watching the battle at the top of the city felt that the time was almost up and immediately shouted: "Bombardment!"
The forts on the city wall kept firing, and countless shells exploded.
"Boom boom boom..."
The powerful impact shook away the gray men pressing down on the soldiers, and the battlefield became extremely chaotic for a while. It wasn't over yet, the explosion produced billowing smoke and fire.
The sight of the ghosts and grays was blocked, and their numerical advantage was gone.
"Wow ah ah..."
Just hearing screams again and again, the ghost and god gray people were being hacked and killed by the ghost and god soldiers.
The leader of the Grays was so angry that he and several generals kept attacking. Although they could successfully kill a few soldiers, they would always accidentally injure the Grays. Because the scene was so chaotic, the cannons were bombing indiscriminately, and the filled land was blown into a hornet's nest.
The previous shelling of Nanyicheng basically only fired a few shots per second, with the purpose of attacking the boulders and weakening the impact of the boulders. But now, the artillery fire in Nanyicheng is dozens of shots per second. Those dozens of forts fired simultaneously and continuously.
This shelling mode is basically only used when the fish is dead and the net is broken, because it will quickly consume all the shells.
Suddenly, a ghostly gray man was blown away, directly hit the leader, and fell in front of the leader.
The group leader was surprised to see that the gray man had many skin injuries and bleeding ears. He was probably bombed, but his life was not in danger. In other words, the damage caused by those continuous bombardments added up and gradually took effect.
This is a bit disgusting. Human soldiers wear armor and will not be injured by artillery fire at all. But these large swaths of Grays were beaten by artillery fire and were unable to fight back, and were finally harvested by the human soldiers.
The leader of the regiment said angrily: "Retreat, cover the retreat of the battering ram troops, quickly!"
