When those ferocious beasts rushed over, the archers on the city aimed their arrows at the ferocious beasts. However, because the ferocious beasts moved too fast, nine of the ten arrows missed. Even if the remaining arrow hit, the result was still because of the ferocious beasts. Rough skin and thick flesh will not work at all.
As if their ferocity was aroused, those ferocious beasts ran faster and faster, and the visual impact on people became more and more violent. When the continuous shooting of arrows was ineffective, the will of the Star Army archers was hit to a certain extent. As for the subsequent error rate, when those ferocious beasts quickly ran to the city, only a very small number of them were shot to death by random arrows.
"Use a ballista." The ferocious beasts were coming too fiercely, and bows and arrows were of little use. In order to stop the ferocious beasts as much as possible, Lan Xu made a decisive decision to attack with a ballista.
"Ballistas attack," immediately after, the two heralds who were waiting quietly separated and passed on the order.
Immediately afterwards, five or six people were busy at the positions where the crossbows had been set up earlier, pulling the tendons while aiming at the ferocious beasts. The crossbow arrows they used were more than two meters long. It seemed that the entire arrow body was made of fine iron.
With a "swish" sound, the crossbow arrow shot out rapidly, much faster than a bow and arrow. It hit the ground and penetrated directly into the ground. The force was definitely not something that ordinary ferocious beasts could withstand, but it was also difficult to shoot fast-moving objects with a crossbow. Aim, and because the arrow speed is very slow, the effect is even lower.
"Ugh," there was a scream, and a ferocious beast that was running forward was hit by a crossbow arrow. The crossbow arrow almost penetrated the body of the ferocious beast. After rolling forward for a certain distance, the ferocious beast that was shot directly die.
Not long after, several more ferocious beasts were hit by crossbows, and some were directly nailed to the ground by crossbow arrows. The scene looked frightening. Unfortunately, after some blocking, more than two-thirds of the ferocious beasts ran away in the end. Arriving at the bottom of the city, everyone climbed up on the ladder as if they were familiar with the road. There was no need to climb to the top of the ladder. They jumped directly to the city halfway, which was much faster than Wu Xiu climbing the city.
The star troops above who were holding rocks couldn't react at all. After the vicious beasts jumped up, the ordinary star troops were even more confused.
In fear, some soldiers were about to draw their swords and attack the ferocious beast, but were bitten by the charging ferocious beast first. Then, with a flick of their head, the strong ferocious beast directly threw the person it bitten up.
Amidst a series of screams, those star soldiers were either directly bitten to death by the ferocious beasts, or were thrown from the city by the ferocious beasts. The possibility of survival was extremely small. After breaking through many obstacles, the ferocious beasts became more ferocious, and with them On the contrary, the Star Army at the crenel tried so hard but failed to stop these ferocious beasts. Naturally, they were so psychologically shocked that when danger came, they did not know how to react.
Some ferocious beasts were rampaging on the city, disrupting the layout of the city. Ordinary archers and infantry could only choose to avoid them. Fortunately, there were sixth-level martial arts cultivators on the city, Lan Xu, who had arranged in advance to deal with those ferocious beasts, and Zhang Jiutian. , Zhang Haoran and others are all in the city. It is during the war. Regardless of their qualifications, all they have to do is execute military orders.
In terms of strength, many ferocious beasts are similar to Zhang Jiutian and others, but because ferocious beasts are not afraid of death, even if Zhang Jiutian and others join forces, it will still be difficult to quickly kill those sixth-level ferocious beasts.
In addition, because there are many unrelated star troops in the city, Zhang Jiutian and the others cannot let go. Under such circumstances, it will be difficult to solve the problem of ferocious beasts on the city in a short time.
There was a clanging sound, and the fighting was extremely fierce in dozens of places on the city. At the same time, Lan Xu and General Qian were paying attention to the situation above the city while paying attention to the situation below the city.
I saw those ferocious beasts climbing onto the city and rampaging, even crashing several of their ballistae. The piled logs and stones were all messed up, causing many star troops to lose space to move.
In those dozens of chaotic places, ferocious beasts and people kept jumping up. Lan Xu gradually frowned as he watched. The ferocious beasts climbing up the city not only posed a threat to the soldiers on the city, but also destroyed their previous arrangements.
According to the current situation, the effect of the ferocious beasts has exceeded their expectations. After realizing that they were not well prepared to resist the ferocious beasts, Lan Xu quickly ordered some generals nearby: "You guys, hurry up and help them fight." Kill those ferocious beasts.”
"Yes," the generals next to them had turned from surprise to nervousness. Now it seemed that those ferocious beasts were not as easy to deal with as they thought. Moreover, the ferocious beasts also destroyed the original layout of the city, not only destroying rolling logs and rocks. The disorderly arrangement of the blocks also renders many archers useless. If they cannot be dealt with in time, the Yi army will be able to attack the city more easily after a while.
After the generals left, Lan Xu had already thought that he should not deploy extra star troops on the city. The situation was now chaotic and he could no longer let those infantry go down. The problems on the city could only be solved by the city. people solve it.
"Bai Ye, you come to contain this ferocious ape, while others and I attack from behind." While Lan Xu was paying close attention to Yi Jun's actions, the ferocious beast that was attacking Fang Qing and the others suddenly became fierce and picked up a man. The rolling log was waving back and forth at them, frightening Fang Qing and the others so much that they did not dare to get close.
Next to them, many ordinary soldiers were huddled in a corner, holding their weapons against the ferocious beasts with nervous expressions on their faces, not daring to take the initiative to approach the frantic ferocious beasts.
Similar situations can be seen everywhere in the city. Some soldiers were afraid and hid in corners. Facing the vicious beasts that were charging wantonly, they did not dare to move. The only thing that could keep them calm was that the people responsible for dealing with the beasts were all soldiers. For famous people, seeing the figures of Zhang Jiutian and others is an encouragement to them, and those star troops can stabilize their emotions for the time being.
"Ah," a moment later, a sixth-level martial arts cultivator was hit in the abdomen by the giant palm of a ferocious beast before he could counterattack. Then he flew upside down and flew over the crenel and fell to the bottom of the city. His life and death were unknown. Fortunately, he landed in the city. direction.
"Fang Qing, come and contain the beast." The situation became increasingly urgent. Seeing how difficult the beast was, Bai Ye, who was responsible for attacking and killing the beast, quickly shouted to Fang Qing behind the beast: "I'll kill it!"
After saying this, after Fang Qing had attracted the attention of the beast with all his strength, Bai Ye seized the opportunity and jumped up. He held the hilt of the sword with both hands and thrust it into the back of the beast until the sword was almost completely immersed in the body of the beast. , he stopped.
The injured beast was in pain, and its huge body twisted and threw Bai Ye off his back, hitting the city wall. Bai Ye grinned in pain.
At the same time, when others saw Bai Ye's successful attack, they quickly stepped forward and inserted their weapons into the beast one after another, killing the beast together.
"Bai Ye, are you okay?" After killing a ferocious beast, everyone quickly split up to help elsewhere, while Fang Qing ran to Bai Ye's side to check on Bai Ye's condition.
"I'm fine." As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye spit out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that the injury was not serious, but the situation was urgent and Fang Qing had no time to take care of Bai Ye.
"You guys come here and help him down, you guys throw down the body of the vicious ape," Fang Qing shouted to the group of soldiers not far away, and Fang Qing hurriedly helped Bai Ye over.
"Go help the others," Bai Ye did not forget to remind Fang Qing after the soldiers supported him.
"Yes," nodded, Fang Qing quickly turned around and ran towards a nearby melee area.
To deal with these ferocious beasts, having more people does not mean that the effect is better. However, the situation is not much better if there are fewer people. Sometimes, a ferocious beast grabs a star soldier and uses it as a weapon. No matter how many people are attacking that ferocious beast, Everyone was timid, and the situation was once very embarrassing.
Dozens of ferocious beasts messed up the Star Army's deployment on the city. It wasn't until some generals joined in that the situation improved. Without exception, those Star Army generals were all seventh-level martial arts cultivators. He is far more experienced than Bai Ye and others in dealing with ferocious beasts, and can take down a ferocious beast in three or two strikes.
The number of ferocious beasts on the city continued to decrease, and the bodies of the dead ferocious beasts were thrown away from the city by the Star Army. Order in the city finally began to be restored.
While the Star Army was busy dealing with the ferocious beasts, Ruan Qiling and a group of Yi Army generals quietly paid attention to the situation on the city. They did not take advantage of the chaos to attack the city because they were still waiting.
Some time later, when the ferocious beasts on the city were about to be killed by the Star Army personnel, Ruan Qiling directly ordered without hesitation: "Full-scale attack."
With an order, the main force of the Yi Army officially moved forward, and siege vehicles were pushed to the front of the queue by the soldiers. Next to each siege vehicle was a commander who was specifically responsible for the use of the siege vehicle. Those commanders received the orders from above. After the general gave the order, he directly commanded a dozen soldiers around the siege vehicle to launch an attack.
The movements of those soldiers were quick and orderly. From placing stones, to pulling ropes, to aiming and shooting, everything was coordinated properly.
