The battle has been fierce from the beginning. After all, once this kind of thing is done, it must be done to the end. There is no room for maneuver!
According to historical experience, no matter what, the defending side will always have a considerable advantage.
Take the majestic city of Chang'an as an example. If you want to successfully attack the city, without internal support, you can only force a breakthrough.
According to past practice, it was nothing more than using a siege vehicle to forcefully break into the gate, or using a ladder to climb the tower. But no matter which method is adopted, the price paid will definitely be high.
This has nothing to do with strategy or tactics, it’s just a clear comparison of advantages and disadvantages!
It's just that this time the opponents faced by the Tang State were not other countries or ordinary armies, but warriors, a large number of elite warriors from the Xuantian Sect.
With their abilities, their individual quality is much better than that of the Tang soldiers guarding the city. Even if there is a city wall to block them, the gap cannot be easily made up.
At this time, the Tang army, as the defender of the city, did not feel the advantage of being condescending in the past, but became nervous.
Indeed, no one can face the siege of transcendent forces calmly.
Moreover, those white-clothed soldiers under the city were not stragglers. Under the organization of Xuantian Sect, a group of elite warriors were able to exert their ability to destroy unimaginable things.
Just now, those in white clothes threw spears towards the city wall. With the blessing of the warrior's vitality, they roared towards the Tang soldiers.
This kind of destructive power will not disappoint people. With just one wave of attacks, the Tang soldiers on the tower suffered heavy losses, and many of them were directly nailed to death with a spear!
And this attack is still going on. The white-clothed men threw spears in batches, which formed an absolute suppression of the Tang army at the beginning of the attack. The latter could only be beaten passively and could not form an effective attack or counterattack.
But that's not the most terrifying thing. In addition to killing the Tang army, many of the spears thrown were nailed to the city wall.
Although some treatment has been done on the outside of the city wall, it is difficult for ordinary attacks to leave traces on the city wall, but with more than a certain level of strength, weapons can still be used to nail through the wall!
This time, Xuantian Sect's division of labor in white was quite clear. The first few waves of throwing were just to suppress the Tang soldiers on the tower to facilitate the next action, but the later action was the key.
Xuantian Sect dispatched many masters of the Houtian realm to prepare at the back. They would leave one or several spears on the city wall at the right moment.
If you observe carefully, you will find that these spears are not in disorder, but form a simple ladder from low to high.
For ordinary people, it doesn't make much difference whether there is such a thing or not. Anyway, it is impossible to climb the tower through it.
But don't forget that Tang Jun's opponent this time is the transcendent power Xuantian Sect. They have a large number of warriors and there is no shortage of high-end warriors.
It seems like this kind of ladder can easily be used to climb the tower without external interference.
Moreover, what they have to face this time is not three or five warriors, but a full eight thousand!
Although Tang Jun has the advantage in terms of quantity, don't forget that quality is different!
When these elite warriors are organized, the combat power they can exert is definitely the effect of one plus one being greater than two!
Therefore, if it is some ordinary Jianghu forces, a well-equipped army can suppress them, but against such a transcendent force, this so-called suppression is a bit difficult!
First of all, the number of the Tang army must be at least several times that of the opponent, so that a balance can be formed.
This has been difficult to achieve from the beginning. Xuantian Sect obviously knew this and deliberately chose this moment to suddenly attack.
Secondly, Chang'an City is here. These Tang troops cannot escape and cannot retreat, so they are passively beaten.
The original city wall defense did not have a great impact on the white clothes of Xuantian Sect. On the contrary, it formed a constraint on themselves to a certain extent.
Finally, the most elite heavy armored cavalry of the Tang Kingdom are not here, otherwise, the battle situation would not have become so unfavorable!
However, there are no ifs in the real world. If something happens, it will happen. You can only be forced to accept it and then seek a breakthrough in this adversity!
Wang Lin, the commander of the city guard, was frowning and worried. In just a few waves of attacks, Tang Bing's casualties reached as many as two hundred people, but the damage to the opponent was not very great.
The main reason is that with the blessing of vitality, the speed and power of the spears in the hands of the white clothes are not at the same level as usual, and the range is also much longer, which is a huge threat to the soldiers on the tower!
And because the opponent is neither close nor far away, the bow and arrow's impact on them is not obvious. Often, by the time it reaches the opponent, its power has been greatly reduced!
This was due to the numerical advantage on our side. The overwhelming rain of arrows made it difficult for the opponent to evade, so there were some casualties, but the damage was only to some low-level warriors, and it could not affect the overall situation.
He knew very well that after a few more waves of attrition, the opponent would send experts to ascend the tower along the simple ladder that had been forcibly laid before. Once the city tower is lost, the situation will be irreversible!
"What should I do? Do you want to use that thing?" Wang Lin was wavering in his heart at this moment.
Facing the warriors, the city tower was naturally equipped with corresponding weapons. However, the use of this weapon is not unlimited. If the effect cannot be achieved, then they have lost their countermeasures.
"No matter, it will be used sooner or later. Is it possible to just wait here for these guys to 'roll call' one by one?" Wang Lin made a decision with a heart.
"Send my order and prepare the siege crossbows!" Wang Lin shouted.
The surrounding soldiers no longer hesitated when they heard this and quickly spread his orders.
On top of Chang'an City Tower, there are sixteen powerful siege crossbows. These are expensive to build, but they are very powerful. Under a crossbow shot, even a master in the Houtian realm would be punished on the spot if he was shot.
However, this thing has pros and cons! Not to mention that it is huge and difficult to move. Just loading the crossbow requires the cooperation of several soldiers, which takes a lot of time.
But everything can never be perfect, and it is too difficult to ask for everything!
But this kind of "big killer" is all about surprise. Often the first wave of attacks causes the greatest damage!
After all, a master of the acquired world cannot just stand there and let you hit him. If he sees that the situation is not going well, he will quickly run away. And once the first wave of attacks fails, it will become more difficult to hit again.
"The first opportunity is very important, so be careful!" Wang Lin thought, but his eyes were motionless observing the opponent's actions.
He has to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity to cause effective damage to these white clothes!
Since the siege crossbow is used, the target of the attack is naturally the white-clothed people in the Houtian realm, so as to achieve the maximum effect.
The white clothes underneath are basically the same clothes and can't be distinguished at all. The only way is to attack at the moment they attack. Those who focus on throwing spears on the city wall are the primary targets of the siege crossbows.
Wang Lin is waiting for that moment!
The next wave of attacks came, and many Tang soldiers were nailed to the tower. A spear even whizzed past his ears. The huge sound of breaking wind made his eardrums buzz. There was a loud buzzing sound, and the fierce wind also drew a blood mark on his face.
Even so, Wang Lin resisted giving an order because he knew that the time had not come yet!
Suddenly, just after this wave of attacks, the ladder construction project on the city wall began again, and Wang Lin quickly targeted the masters hidden in white clothes.
"Everyone listen to the order, launch the siege crossbows!" Wang Lin shouted loudly.
Previously, he had passed on the message through the guards beside him, dividing the attack areas of the siege crossbows, and asked the soldiers in charge to focus on those who wanted to "build ladders" on the city wall. As soon as his order came, they all launched an attack together.
Sure enough, under Wang Lin's order, sixteen siege crossbows were launched in unison. The crossbow arrows alone were thicker than an adult's thigh. Under the urging of this war machine, they struck like a death reminder. To the people in white under the city.
The siege crossbow was extremely fast and did not give the white-clothed people under the city much time to react. In addition, they had been steadily suppressing the Tang army on the tower. Over time, they began to despise them!
"Hmph, so what about the Tang Kingdom? Against our Xuantian Sect, they are nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs!"
This is the thought of most Xuantian Sect Baiyi, but soon they will pay a heavy price for this thought, which may be their lives!
Sixteen powerful crossbow arrows pierced the sky and instantly hit several areas that had been predetermined. The gathering of experts here was the priority target for the Tang army.
Things happened so fast that many of those in white clothes had no time to escape. Although intelligence showed that Chang'an City had some back-ups, the previous success had caused many people to relax their vigilance.
The ability of the siege crossbow to attack masters of the Houtian realm is not just talk. After being accelerated by energy, the destructive power produced by this kind of war machine is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!
The huge impact even created violent wind pressure, which created quite a lot of holes in the ground.
And the people in front of this siege crossbow have almost no chance of being spared!
Suddenly, the explosion of crossbow arrows hitting the ground was heard, followed by screams one after another! Bai Yi, who had been arrogant just now and wantonly harvested Tang Bing's lives, now became the target of attack!
Some Houtian realm masters were unlucky enough to be hit by a siege crossbow, and their whole bodies exploded into a ball of blood mist, leaving them powerless to resist!
This terrifying scene directly frightened the nearby white clothes, which subverted their cognition! These ordinary soldiers can actually pose a threat to them!
The siege crossbow is not a single target strike, but a range strike. Everyone in that area will be impacted to varying degrees to a greater or lesser extent, but those in the center are more unlucky! If your strength is not at the Xiantian realm, you will almost certainly die!
The power of these sixteen siege crossbows was not a little better than the bows and arrows that the Tang army had been using for a long time before. This made the Tang soldiers on the tower couldn't help but feel excited.
"Let you pretend! Now you know how powerful our Tang Army is!" This was the thought in the hearts of all the Tang soldiers at this moment, and the bad breath they had just held in their hearts was relieved a lot.
Wang Lin saw that the formation of the men in white had been scattered by the bombardment of the siege crossbows. As long as they continued, they might be able to repel the Xuantian Sect without the need for reinforcements!
But as soon as his thoughts came to his mind, a violent explosion sounded from the tower not far away. He turned around and saw that a siege crossbow was completely knocked out by the sudden attack, and the nearby soldiers also suffered many casualties.
Wang Lin suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the attack, and saw a man standing with his hands behind his back. He had just taken action, destroying the siege crossbow with just one blow.
What made Wang Lin's heart sink was that there were six more such people!
