After hearing Bian Yingxiong's roar, the soldiers finally calmed down. They had been staying in Jinzhou City and saw this majestic city, which was several times stronger than ordinary cities, every day.
They knew how thick the walls of Jinzhou City were, and they also knew that the rune formations engraved on them could provide it with powerful defensive capabilities. Jinzhou City would not fall so easily. It was an iron wall on the border of the Tang State.
As the Yuan Dynasty army gradually approached, the soldiers in Jinzhou City gradually began to enter combat status, staring at the direction where the enemy was approaching.
The giant golden bird in the sky began to cry, and just like before, it took the lead over the soldiers below and attacked towards the top of the city.
Their purpose was to harass the people on the city walls, causing chaos and preventing them from attacking the Yuan army below at the appropriate time.
After all, if you shoot arrows from the top of the city, the attack distance will be farther than shooting arrows from the bottom of the city, so the attack range on the top of the city will be larger.
In other words, when the Yuan Dynasty army entered the attack range of the Jinzhou City defenders on the top of the city wall, they had no way to launch an attack and could only be forced to withstand the attack of the Jinzhou City defenders.
However, the Yuan Dynasty cleverly used giant birds to harass the city walls, with the aim of preventing the Jinzhou City defenders from launching a unilateral offensive downwards during this period.
After all, shooting arrows from the top of the city wall not only has great power, but also has great force. For ordinary soldiers, it is definitely a very powerful blow.
But this time the giant bird tactic was no longer so effective, because the defenders on the city wall did not raise their shields to defend themselves as they did the first time.
As the giant bird's golden feathers fell, the rune marks on the city wall began to shine, and a thin defensive shield appeared above the city wall.
Although the defensive capabilities of this shield are not very strong, it has no problem withstanding the attack of the golden light.
After blocking Jin Guang's attack, the defenders no longer needed to defend. Instead, under the command of Bian Yingxiong, they began to attack the Yuan Dynasty soldiers in the distance.
"Archers, all of you, shoot!"
Bian Yingxiong gave the order.
This time, except for a small number of shieldmen, everyone else was equipped with a longbow and a pot of special arrows.
After receiving the order to attack, the soldiers of the guard army all grasped their longbows and began to shoot a rain of arrows towards the Yuan army.
The attacks launched by thousands of archers on the city wall were like a rainstorm, falling on the enemy troops.
In an instant, a series of casualties began to appear among the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty. Rows of ordinary soldiers began to fall down under the rain of arrows, and the guards on the city cheered.
After three consecutive launches and killing a team of about 5,000 enemies, the enemy finally came into their shooting range.
The wolf riders began to charge towards the top of the city, the longbows in their hands were raised in front of them, and rows of golden arrows were placed on the strings.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The sound of bowstrings rang out continuously, and rows of golden arrows were shot out by the wolf cavalry. They split into three in the air and fell towards the top of the city.
However, this time, their arrows seemed a little weak, and they were no longer as shocking as they were when they attacked the Huozikou Fortress before.
The wall of Huozikou Fortress was nearly twice as high as before, so the power of the arrows when they attacked the high place was much smaller than before. When the arrows flew to the top of the city wall, it was almost the limit distance.
Not only did a large part of the gold-based spiritual energy originally condensed on the arrow dissipate, but its flying speed also slowed down a lot.
This time, the attack did not even hit a single soldier from Jinzhou City, because the defensive shield on the top of the city wall not only covered the space above the city wall, but also covered the front of the city wall.
Although the range and thickness of the protective shield are not large due to the environment here, it still has no problem blocking these arrows.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Jinzhou City on the top of the city couldn't help but cheer. The super long-range attack capability displayed by the enemy in the fortress was completely powerless outside Jinzhou City.
Just a thin layer of defensive shield was enough to completely block their attacks.
At this time, all the rune marks on the Jinzhou city wall were constantly shining. In addition to the defensive shield on the wall that provided strong protection for the soldiers, the entire wall was completely penetrated by spiritual energy, making it extremely solid.
Such powerful defensive capabilities gave the soldiers of Jinzhou City great confidence, and everyone began to firmly believe that they could definitely defend the city.
The giant bird in the sky swooped down again, throwing feathers towards the top of the city, trying to continuously wear down the defensive shield on the city wall.
However, just when they dived to the lowest point and were about to launch an attack, Bian Yingxiong shouted, "Now is the time to kill these giant birds."
As Bian Yingxiong gave the order, the two thousand archers standing in the last row suddenly raised their longbows and fired a concentrated fire at the giant bird in the sky.
There were more than a dozen giant birds, and each of them had to face the attack of hundreds of powerful arrows on average, and was immediately hit so hard that its whole body was shaking with golden light.
However, what Ye Li and Bian Yingxiong did not expect was that these giant birds were not killed by the volley of two thousand people. Although it could be seen that the golden light on their bodies had become dimmer, they showed no sign of dissipating.
It seems that two rounds of such attacks will be needed to kill these giant birds.
The giant bird had to give up attacking the city wall with a sharp cry. It flapped its wings and rose up again, flying high into the sky, away from Jinzhou City.
The wolf cavalrymen under the city began to gradually fade under the dense rain of arrows. Every powerful arrow from the soldiers on Jinzhou City would bring them considerable damage.
Although these attacks could not kill them, they could constantly drain away their spiritual energy, making it impossible for them to fight for a long time.
At this time, the phalanx of Yuan Dynasty soldiers behind them also stepped into the range of the city wall, and a rain of arrows began to pour towards them.
Even though they had a large row of shield soldiers and giant shields for defense, they tried to connect the defense shields into an iron wall to protect everyone.
However, when the heavy crossbows on the city wall let out angry roars and the huge crossbow arrows, three meters long and as thick as arms, were wrapped in strong winds and swirled towards the crowd, a battle situation completely opposite to that at the Huozikou Fortress began to appear here.
The huge crossbow arrows roared and instantly tore apart the shield wall formed by the Yuan Dynasty soldiers. The huge arrows crashed into the crowd, piercing through rows of soldiers, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere in an instant.
