Unexpectedly, Feng Jun's will to attack the city was so strong. Those ordinary soldiers could show their fearless side under the random arrows. Lan Wu on the city was deeply surprised. Now the efficiency of Feng Jun's siege exceeded his. As expected, he had to respond as soon as possible. After thinking about it, Lan Wu directly ordered a general next to him: "Quickly increase the number of archers in the city."
"Assemble another group of infantry to stop the enemy from climbing the city," followed two military orders. Lan Wu knew that some of his original plans needed to be used in advance. What they had to do now was to prevent the war situation from deteriorating.
"Yes," immediately after, the two generals who received the instructions agreed one after another.
"The Feng Army's offensive is so fierce. In order to prevent them from hurting people with their cold arrows, how about the marshal retreat to the tower first?" After the two generals went to carry out Lan Wu's military orders, one general was worried that Lan Wu was not safe watching the battle on the tower. Safety, immediately proposed to Lan Wu.
"It doesn't matter," he waved his hand to let his subordinates give up their unnecessary thoughts. Lan Wu also wanted to watch the changes in the battle situation in person. He wanted to grasp the direction of the battle, but in fact, from the beginning to now, there have been arrows flying from the city, but there are Surrounded by generals to protect him, his safety was not compromised.
The situation below the city became increasingly tense. Many Feng troops had already crossed the fence set up by the Star Army below the city to set up ladders on the city wall. They themselves were already in a position that was difficult for the defenders to attack.
Because they did not know the specific situation below, the Star Army on the city was extremely nervous at this moment. In panic, some people took the risk to look down from the crenel and wanted to shoot at the Phoenix Army who were climbing the ladder, but because they exposed too much body, but they died first under Feng Jun's random arrows.
From the beginning to now, both sides have suffered casualties. Of course, relatively speaking, the casualties of the Feng Army are far greater than those of the Star Army. In less than a quarter of an hour, thousands of people have been shot by the Star Army, whether they were burned to death or shot to death by random arrows. , each one died in an extremely miserable manner.
The corpses on the ground frightened the soldiers in the rear. As time went by, the Feng Army's charge was no longer as powerful as before. However, no one dared to retreat under the military order, and many people felt that it was more dangerous to run to a position under the city where the Star Army could not shoot. will be safe.
In addition, the Feng Army's ladders were seriously damaged. Thanks to their thorough preparation, there were always ladders available. It is worth mentioning that because the ladders were too long and unstable, many Feng Army fell into the water because of their unstable legs and feet. Some people never recovered. Can climb ashore.
Feng Jun encountered far more troubles during the charge than they expected, so that there were more casualties during the charge than Zhao Tianyi and others expected.
However, when they saw their own people setting up ladders on the city wall, the Feng Army soldiers behind were inspired and their courage increased, and they accelerated and ran forward.
As more and more ladders were erected on the city wall, the Star Army was no longer limited to attacking with bows and arrows. The infantrymen who had been waiting for a long time lifted up the items originally piled aside and threw them down to block the Star Army from ascending the city.
The situation on the city became more and more urgent, and the archers became more and more nervous. The number of arrows they shot became less and less. They were inexperienced anyway, and the performance of many star troops did not meet the standards expected by Lan Wu.
Our own side's poor performance caused the enemy's charge efficiency to be higher than expected, but the enemy's casualties were less than expected. As a result, the current situation did make Lan Wu a little worried.
Now, instead of weakening due to some casualties, the enemy's morale has slightly improved. The situation is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to them. If this continues, the situation is likely to be out of his control.
If there was not a secret plan that had not yet been activated, Lan Wuzhen would have been worried that Feng Jun would attack the city in one go. But now as long as the defenders could hold on for a while longer, he was confident of holding on to the city.
The two generals who had just carried out the military orders had returned and had re-deployed their troops on the city. In the blink of an eye, the number of defenders on the city had greatly increased.
The new archers continued to shoot at Feng Jun. While they were in charge of shooting, some infantrymen with spears stood beside them to protect them. As long as Feng Jun came up, they would use their spears to directly plunge Feng Jun down and hit them on the forehead. Under the protection, those archers can attack with confidence for the time being.
From the beginning to the end, the three- to four-hundred-meter-long battle line has never been shortened. The Star Army's archers have changed a group, but the Feng Army's charging momentum has not weakened at all.
The archers of the Feng Army below the city were still covering their own people as they climbed into the city. They were rarely affected by random arrows, so they could shoot at the city as they pleased. A sharp arrow was pulled up and shot out quickly, looking like a bird in the night sky. The Star Army rushed towards the city like a hook of fate.
During Fengjun's charge, Fengjun's archers played a great role in improving the efficiency of his own siege. After watching the battle for such a long time, Lan Wu had already discovered this and felt that it was necessary to solve this problem as soon as possible. Therefore, after Fengjun After the archers moved forward in order to ensure that they would not hurt their own people, Lan Xu directly ordered people to attack those archers.
Not long after, the archers on the city received instructions and aimed their arrows at the Feng Army's archers array. The Feng Army's archers were arranged very densely and without any protection.
"Uh, ah..." After a rain of arrows fell, the archers were immediately killed and wounded. From top to bottom, it was very easy for the Star Army to attack the archers of the Phoenix Army. They could just kill an enemy casually. If they used the previous rockets, If so, Feng Jun may suffer a large number of casualties in a short period of time.
Their round of shooting caused the Feng Army archers to panic. After discovering that their attack was so effective, the Star Army on the city directly launched a second round of shooting.
After experiencing another round of impact, the Feng Army's archer formation suddenly fell into chaos. In panic, many archers just retreated and did not dare to take the time to counterattack.
Two rounds of shooting by the Star Army caused those archers who had no ability to protect themselves to become chaotic, and even completely lost their combat capabilities. The performance of those archers even affected the morale of other Phoenix troops. It is obvious that Lan Wu's temporary decision-making has successfully collapsed weakened the enemy's archers.
Seeing the Feng Army archers retreating beyond their shooting range, Lan Wu continued to order the archers to shoot those who were crossing the river.
"Come on," but in the blink of an eye, the number of ladders erected on the city wall was no less than a hundred. The length of those ladders was determined according to the height of the city wall. When Feng Jun climbed to the top of the ladder, he only had to jump. Can jump to the city.
At first, what awaited the Phoenix soldiers were rolling logs and soapstones, and then sharp spearheads. The Phoenix soldiers finally climbed to the crenellation, but before they had a chance to attack, they were stabbed down by the Star Army's spears.
"Ah..." The screams continued. Those Fengjun who were not directly stabbed to death fell from the city wall several meters high and hit the ground with a bang, or hit other Fengjun, no matter what. , always causing some confusion.
As more and more Feng troops climbed onto the city, a fight broke out between the two sides, so Lan Wu ordered some infantrymen to come over for support.
Unfortunately, as time went by, more and more Feng troops climbed onto the city. The infantry originally guarding the city could no longer kill them in time. Then, the archers were affected and could no longer shoot at all, so they pulled out their sabers. The sword was used to fight with the enemy troops who climbed up the city.
For a short period of time, the situation on the city could still be controlled, but as more and more Feng troops climbed onto the city, the fighting on the city became more intense, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Star Army.
In the blink of an eye, the situation on the city has undergone a huge change. Just as the Star Army attacked the Feng Army archers, the Feng Army below the city took advantage of the loophole. At this point, Lan Wu could only order to continue to mobilize infantry to support.
Fortunately, they currently have a numerical advantage and everything is still under control. Since the Star Army stopped shooting, the Feng Army under the city no longer suffered from random arrow fire. The situation improved greatly. In a short period of time, the Feng Army successfully crossed the river. The number of soldiers is increasing.
As one ladder after another was put up on the city wall, each of the Feng soldiers bravely climbed up through the ladder without fear of death. Once they successfully climbed over the crenellations, they quickly waved their weapons to fight with the defenders on the city.
Sometimes, after a ladder of the Feng Army was overturned by the defenders, the entire ladder and the people on it fell one after another, or slid against the city wall and hit the soldiers who were climbing the ladder nearby, causing a series of chain reactions, or It fell directly backward and hit other people below.
Those Fengjun who fell down with the ladder were fine if they fell on other people, and they could get up after a while. If they fell on sharp weapons or other protruding objects, they would be injured at least, and life would be worse than death at worst. The situation is very serious. not optimistic.
Since the beginning of the battle between the two sides, the screams have not stopped. Although it is unknown how many people have died, Feng Jun who is still alive knows that as long as they climb to the city, they have a chance to survive.
Time passed little by little, and Feng Jun continued to lift the ladder that had fallen to the ground, and then continued to climb up. No one hesitated.
