On the contrary, even if the Star Army, which stepped on the corpses all the way down, could not stand firmly and swooped down, it would only bring more impact to the Feng Army. The officers in the Feng Army were completely unable to exert their strength in the chaos. The defense line is getting weaker and weaker, and the Star Army is getting closer and closer to the lower city.

Having said that, in fact, the fallen corpses also have a great impact on the Star Army. Those Star Army who are in a hurry will trip over the corpses under their feet if they are not careful. It is precisely in order to reduce the possibility of this situation that the Star Army will Use the encirclement method to attack Feng Jun.

Of course, even if there is some impact, the Star Army can still rely on morale to weaken that impact. In the eyes of Zhang Yuangang and others, the Star Army's offensive is very fierce, and in the blink of an eye, it has pushed the front line down several meters.

Originally, the total length of a city ladder was only a few dozen meters. If this continued, the Star Army would be able to hit the ground soon, and the battle would become even more intense by then.

"Marshal, what should we do now?" In front of the army, Tang Jinjian stood on the chariot and kept sizing up the situation in front of him. He was not optimistic about the current situation.

"Marshal, if we can't stop the enemy's offensive, our army will probably suffer heavy casualties." Before Zhang Yuangang could answer Tang Jinjian's question, a Feng Army general saw that the situation was urgent and already asked.

"What else can we do? I have already arranged nearly 30,000 troops to resist the enemy under the city. Do we need to send more people there?" Looking at the long queue of his own soldiers under the two stairs, Zhang Yuangang asked those Feng Jun was very angry at his incompetence.

The number of star troops rushing down the stairs was not that large, but there were hundreds of phoenix troops on the two stairs. With so many people unable to stop the few star troops, Zhang Yuangang had no choice but to get angry.

But at this moment, the thing used to block the city gate under the city tower continues to move backwards. The iron pillars used to fix the city gate have been bent and sunk into the ground. When the iron pillars tilt a little more, the iron pillars originally used to block the city gate will Many things will move back.

Seeing that the city gate was about to be broken through by the enemy, Zhang Yuangang really had no idea, because there was no suitable thing that could be used to reinforce the city gate, unless he sent some people to push it, but it was not certain whether that would be effective.

Not long ago, he thought that the Star Army might withdraw, but he did not expect that the Star Army not only did not withdraw, but its offensive became more and more fierce. The stubbornness and courage of the Star Army already made him feel afraid. He thought that the person commanding the battle on the Star Army was... After Lan Wu, he was also a little afraid of Lan Wu's ability.

Compared with the Star Army, at first they had a geographical advantage and their overall morale was only strong, but now they were beaten so badly by the enemy. He was touched by the bravery and fearlessness of the Star Army. As long as he thought about the unbearable condition of his own soldiers, his face Very solemn.

As he continued to consider the current situation, the general who asked Zhang Yuangang just now had nothing to say. Now there were figures of his own personnel on both stairs, and there were so many people waiting to go up to support below. Judging from the number of people, It's obvious that the enemy needs more support. If they really can't defeat the opponent, it must be due to the gap in strength and has nothing to do with Zhang Yuangang's command.

I don't know how the general over there directs the soldiers to fight. Not only the general who just asked, but also the other generals next to him are confused at the moment, and they are all thinking about why they can't stop the Star Army.

"Marshal, are all the enemy troops not ordinary martial arts cultivators?" Zhang Yuangang's answer did not satisfy Tang Jinjian after all. He pondered for a while. After thinking that they still had to have countermeasures, Tang Jinjian still felt that Zhang Yuangang needed to do something.

In fact, seeing the Star Army over there constantly waving their weapons and killing their own personnel unscrupulously, Tang Jinjian was also wondering whether those Star Army were normal martial arts cultivators.

Many Star Army generals also had the same question as him. In the eyes of those people, the Star Army was obviously much stronger than the Feng Army, but the reality was not what they thought.

The Star Army has the momentum of sharing the same hatred and united will. They can be united from top to bottom. As long as they are led by a general, each one of them can accurately execute military orders, especially when many people find that the resistance of the Feng Army is not tenacious. , they are even more agile.

Last time they defeated the Feng Army, and this time they were able to defeat the Feng Army. With this idea in mind, the Xing Army naturally became more and more courageous as they encouraged each other.

In addition, some Star Army generals have been shouting to avenge their dead brothers, so that many Star Army soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy with a kind of hatred. Many Star Army soldiers died tragically under those rolling logs and rocks before, especially It was those Phoenix troops who threw weapons to attack them, making them fearful and even humiliating for a long time. Now that they had a chance to stand up, those Star troops didn't want to waste their hard-won opportunity.

Hatred will fuel a person's arrogance, thereby stimulating a person's potential. Therefore, under the shouts of those generals, more and more star troops rushed down the stairs regardless of their safety, stepping on corpses all the way down, waving weapons in their hands.

From top to bottom, the Star Army's attack speed became faster and faster. Even though the Phoenix Army below did not have much trouble climbing the ladder, they felt uncomfortable lifting their weapons from bottom to top. Naturally, the Star Army always had the upper hand.

As time goes by, more and more Star Army troops rush down from the stairs. Now there are many Star Army figures on the two stairs, because the Feng Army below the city can no longer support the city. It turns out that the Feng Army on the city is there. After losing the reinforcements, their morale was even lower. Those Feng Army generals who were locked in a bitter battle saw that their own soldiers were getting fewer and fewer. On the other hand, the number of enemy troops continued to increase. They continued to fight and were under tremendous psychological pressure at all times. Some people already had Thoughts of escape.

There were corpses everywhere on the ground. Some people who were seriously injured but not dead were trampled to death. Standing on top of the pile of corpses, the figures of the Star Army were getting taller and taller. Half of their bodies could already be seen by the soldiers from the two countries below.

Seeing that the city was about to be completely occupied by his own soldiers, Lan Wu directly ordered the archers to climb the city. At the same time, the Star Army on the two stairs had forced the Feng Army to the ground. Now there were two battlefields directly under the city. The passage out of the city is the boundary. Looking from a distance, the number of Star Army on the city is no less than that of Feng Army below the city.

If Zhang Yuangang ordered reinforcements immediately, the Feng Army would quickly gain a numerical advantage. However, Zhang Yuangang had been frightened by the bravery of the Star Army. Considering the situation at the city gate, he no longer dared to mobilize reinforcements at will.

After a while, Feng Jun was no longer seen on the city. Countless star troops were coming down from the city. The two long dragons on the left and right made Zhang Yuangang completely lose his cool and unable to consider countermeasures to deal with the enemy.

In fact, Zhang Yuangang's failure to order reinforcements was related to some of his own plans. He wanted to keep the archers and cavalry until the Star Army's cavalry entered the city and give the Star Army a blow in the head, thereby weakening the Star Army's momentum. But now it seems that , and he felt that he might have to change his original plan.

"Marshal, if we don't send troops to support, the enemy will come over!" After waiting for a long time, seeing that the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to them, a Feng Army general couldn't wait any longer and said directly to Zhang Yuangang: "The morale of the soldiers in the city is low. , if there are no reinforcements, I am afraid that no matter how many people there are, there will not be enough for the enemy to massacre."

Regardless of strength or momentum, in short, in the eyes of many Feng Army generals, it is difficult to stop the Star Army's offensive with only the more than 20,000 troops originally deployed under the city, especially when so many Star Army are about to join the battle. If they If reinforcements are not sent, all the soldiers under the city will die.

On the other side, facing repeated requests for instructions from his subordinates, Zhang Yuangang had recovered from the chaotic sound of fierce fighting, took another look at the battle situation between the two armies, and then looked up at the city.

Figures of people flashed on the long city wall, rushing down the city. All the flags of their Feng Kingdom fell down, and the flags of the Star Army had been planted on them. Judging from the distribution of those flags, the city had been completely occupied by the Star Army.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the Star Army standing at the crenel aiming their bows and arrows at them. Although they were some distance away from them, those archers could already attack the Feng Army under the city. Fortunately, the two sides were in a melee at the moment, and the Star Army's Bows and arrows do not attack randomly.

Regardless of whether his idea just now was correct or not, after repeated consideration, Zhang Yuangang decided to send troops to reinforce the battle below the city. After the drummers on both sides beat the war drums, some generals were ordered to lead tens of thousands of soldiers into two groups and rush to the city to support.

On the other side, seeing that the city had been replaced with its own flag, Lan Wu outside the city knew that the battle on the city was over. The sound of drums coming from the city now meant that the two armies were in full battle in the city. Once the city gate was opened, they It will sweep across the battlefield with the force of wind and thunder.

In fact, someone has been reporting to Lan Wu on the progress of the siege. Based on various messages previously sent, Lan Wu initially estimated that the damage to the Star Army was close to 30,000. Such a number should not be underestimated. As the battle continues, the casualties will increase. , Today's battle will have a great impact on the overall strength of the infantry camp. Even if the number of infantry in the city is equal to the total number of Feng Army, and there are so many archers coming to support, he still can't rest assured.

I have seen Zhang Yuangang's ability before. If he cannot crush Feng Jun's will to resist in one fell swoop, the next battle will evolve into a desperate struggle. It may not change the outcome of the Star Army's victory, but he does not want to accept an outcome with too many casualties, so In his opinion, it was still necessary to defeat the enemy's morale as soon as possible.

In addition, according to the information reported by his subordinates, Lan Wu knew that the morale of his own soldiers was steadily improving and their combat effectiveness was getting stronger and stronger. On the contrary, Feng Army was completely reduced to the defensive side and was already in an overly passive situation. Of course, this was still far from the case. It was far from enough. When the general beside him was happy with the current progress of the siege, Lan Wu looked towards the city gate again.

The original city gate was hit with a big hole, and the cracked parts were removed by the Star Army and carried out. Now there is only a wall-like shield behind the city gate. There is light above and on both sides of the wall, and the bottom is tight. Sticking to the ground, the personnel responsible for pushing the siege vehicles over there have changed several batches, but the progress is still slow.

It cannot be said that the shield behind the city gate is too heavy, but that the shield is too hard. The Star Army must first smash the shield and then clean up the damaged parts. The whole process is too cumbersome, so it is so time-consuming.

While the siege vehicles were ramming the city gates, the Star Army generals continued to contribute, with only Lan Xu commanding outside.

Now the drums in the city were loud, and Lan Xu could hear it clearly. After guessing that fighting had begun in the city, Lan Xu got off the horse directly, ran to the siege vehicle, and pushed the vehicle forward with the original people.
