The first to launch the attack was the huge golden bird flying in the sky. With a series of sharp cries, the giant bird had flown right above the fortress.
As they dived, a dozen giant birds suddenly flapped their wings a few dozen meters away from the city wall, and thousands of golden feathers turned into streams of light and fell from the sky.
"defense!!!"
Bian Yingxiong roared wildly, and all the shield bearers in the team raised their shields and held them above their heads.
As their spiritual energy was infused, a stream of spiritual energy appeared on the half-man-high shield, covering the surrounding soldiers.
On the entire city wall, the shield bearers' defense formed a huge defensive wall, completely blocking the top of the entire city wall.
Ye Li looked at the falling light from the sky. These feathers were all composed of gold spiritual energy. After a round of shooting, the concentration of gold spiritual energy contained in the giant bird was somewhat reduced. It seemed that this kind of attack could not be used unlimitedly.
However, after the golden feathers fell into the shield formation, they immediately caused a large number of casualties.
The power of these attacks are all above the Spirit Sea Stage. Although it may not seem high, considering that the soldiers are generally only at the Spirit Mist Stage, the lethality caused by these hundreds of streams of light can be imagined.
The shield formation was shattered by the stream of light after just a few hits. Only one third of the stream of light was intercepted, and the rest fell into the crowd. Some were blocked by the shield itself and only injured the soldiers on the west side. The remaining feathers fell into the unprotected crowd and immediately took the lives of hundreds of people.
After a round of attacks, the giant bird did not fly away. After rising from a diving state, it turned around and dived down again. Hundreds of golden feathers flew down and shot madly towards the top of the city.
"People above the Spiritual Sea Stage, take the initiative to defend!!!"
After the first round of attacks, Bian Yingxiong immediately realized the huge threat posed by these attacks, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers above the Linghai stage and the officers at the Lingdan stage to actively defend against these feathers and intercept them before they fell into the crowd.
The issuance of this order immediately saved the lives of hundreds of people. With the active interception by the masters, the feathers were almost all shattered while still in the air, thus avoiding the huge damage caused by falling into the crowd.
But just as everyone was dealing with the attack of the giant bird in the sky, the Golden Wolf Cavalrymen at the front of the Yuan Dynasty army had already begun their attack.
These Golden Wolf Cavalrymen were fully armored and had masks on their faces, so their appearance could not be seen at all. It was not until this moment that Ye Li realized that they did not seem to be human at all, but a part of the Yinling Army that was completely integrated with the Golden Wolves.
At this moment, all the Yinling soldiers have pulled the longbows behind them, and arrows condensed from the golden spiritual energy have been thrown towards the top of the city.
The arrows suddenly split into three in the air. The original three thousand arrows instantly became nine thousand. They were as dense as a rainstorm, and the momentum was astonishingly huge.
“Damn it, defend quickly!!!
Archers, shoot and stop these Yinling troops!!!"
Bian Yingxiong was a little flustered for a moment, as the opponent's attack was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Fortunately, although there were many golden arrows, their power was only at the Spiritual Mist Stage. With the defense of spiritual armor and shields, most of them were blocked, causing only a few hundred casualties.
However, the battle had just begun, and they left five or six hundred corpses on the city wall, which was a huge blow to morale.
The wolf cavalry's shooting continued, and the arrows fell together with the feathers from the sky, just like a golden cloud covering the top of the city. The continuous falling rain of arrows brought up a series of blood lights.
Although the archers on the city wall were also fighting back, their attacks were unable to penetrate the armor of the wolf cavalry, let alone cause any damage to the golden wolves. The series of attacks only consumed part of the gold element spiritual energy of these Yinling troops and did not play a significant role.
After this delay, the relatively slow-moving giants and the rear-row troops had begun to approach the city wall, and the archers from the Yuan Dynasty also began to rain arrows towards the city wall.
Although their rain of arrows was much less powerful because it was shot from low to high, but combined with the previous two rounds of attacks, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back and completely defeated the defenses on the city wall.
Soldiers began to fall row after row under the rain of arrows, and the number of casualties began to reach thousands.
A huge pressure instantly enveloped everyone, and under the threat of death, morale fell to the extreme point.
“We can’t defend against such a dense rain of arrows, the soldiers can’t hold on!!!
The fortress wall is nearly half as short as Jinzhou City's. We can't stop the enemy here. We must retreat!!!"
Bian Yingxiong yelled at the messenger next to him, and the messenger immediately raised the flag of retreat. The horn sounded in the rear, and the troops on the city wall began to rush towards the bottom of the wall frantically.
The troops under the city wall have begun to retreat outside the fortress to make room for those who have withdrawn from the city wall.
"Damn it, how can ordinary archers exert such strong killing power? These Yinling soldiers are simply a nightmare on the battlefield!!!
Those giants haven't made a move yet, who knows what kind of power they have, it's so terrifying!!!"
Bian Yingxiong's heart was already filled with gloom at this moment. He had never expected that the other party had such terrifying attack power.
Ye Li, who participated in the battle for the first time, also understood the fighting style on the Nine Soul Continent. Although this kind of fighting ability uses props to launch attacks, it is definitely not weaker than that of the Black Eye Continent.
Even in terms of the number of fighters, the Nine Souls Continent has more fighters than the Black Eyes Continent, and it is very likely that the total strength of the entire continent is much stronger than that of the Black Eyes Continent.
If the volley of fire from the three thousand wolf cavalrymen just now had all converged on one point, even a talisman master at the Divine Appearance Stage like him might not have been able to withstand a single blow. This fighting style was definitely very powerful.
Following many soldiers, they retreated into the fortress, and then the army began to evacuate to the rear of the fortress. This was no longer their battle place. They had to return to Jinzhou City and redeploy their defenses.
During the evacuation, the soldiers on the city wall left behind corpses nearby. Just a few rounds of long-range attacks caused the loss of one-tenth of the total 25,000-man army.
Even someone like Ye Li who had witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield couldn't help but feel frightened.
The enemy's footsteps outside the fortress were approaching, and the army of Jinzhou City began to panic. They now had completely lost the courage to fight.
"Quick, all troops return to the city!!!"
After Bian Yingxiong gave the final order, the army began to leave the fortress in a mighty manner and rushed towards Jinzhou City.
