"Hahaha, well done, keep using your heavy crossbow to kill these bastards!!!"
Bian Yingxiong's frown finally felt a little relieved, and he let out a roar of joy.
The heavy crossbow can be said to be the most powerful weapon of war for the defenders. Although it is very difficult to manufacture and extremely expensive, its power is beyond imagination.
Each huge arrow, pushed by a powerful bowstring, has a powerful impact force of the Lingdan period.
As the arrow flew high in the sky, it gained even greater strength, and by the time it pierced into the shield wall, its power had reached at least the peak of the Spiritual Pill Stage.
Faced with such a powerful impact force, the shield formation was like paper and was easily torn apart. The soldiers holding shields would be smashed to pieces along with their shields in one blow.
The specially made arrows are not only incredibly hard, but also have explosive properties. After the momentum completely stops, they will suddenly explode, and the power of thunder and fire will splash out, blasting a huge gap in the dense crowd around them.
Without the protection of the shield wall, rain of arrows from the city wall poured down and fell into the crowd. In an instant, thousands of people fell to the ground, their bodies full of arrows, like hedgehogs.
In just a few moments, the Yuan Dynasty left behind more than three thousand corpses. The revenge they had received for killing the Jinzhou City defenders at Huozikou had been taken by the Jinzhou City defenders.
A horn sounded, and the Yuan Dynasty soldiers suddenly stopped and began to retreat backwards. How could they dare to stand within the shooting range of the Jinzhou City soldiers? Judging from their current level of casualties, they might not be able to reach the city at all.
It seems that they seemed to have underestimated the power of the heavy crossbows in Jinzhou City. After all, they rarely had the opportunity to attack Jinzhou City in the past.
The heavy crossbow was hardly ever used in Jinzhou City. After all, it was too expensive to make, arrows were scarce, and every arrow shot consumed bags of spirit stones.
The wolf cavalry did not continue to charge towards the city. Instead, they retreated as quickly as possible, leaving the shooting range of the Jinzhou City soldiers.
The Jinzhou City side cheered. The enemy's first round of exploratory advance had been successfully blocked by them, causing a large number of casualties. The occupation was perfect.
However, after Bian Yingxiong calmed down, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. After all, the heavy crossbow had limited arrows, and he could not launch more than a few rounds of attacks like the ones just now. If the Yuan Dynasty launched a few more rounds of attacks regardless of sacrifice, they would have no heavy crossbows left.
The interception effect of ordinary arrows is limited. With the shield formation blocking them, the enemy will definitely be able to push up the siege equipment in the back row. If the catapults can get close enough to be within the shooting range, the shields on their city walls will face a severe test.
After withdrawing some distance, the Yuan Dynasty's army stopped. After a wave of flags, a large number of soldiers began to separate and move towards the other three city gates.
It was obvious that the other side was preparing to surround Jinzhou City and prevent the Jinzhou City guards from leaving.
The enemy did not send many people to the other three city gates, only about 7,000 people on each side. Although there were too few people for siege, it was enough to prevent the defenders of Jinzhou City from breaking through.
The remaining 16,000 people and the Yinling Army were concentrated at the west gate, which was their main attack point.
By the time the Yuan Dynasty had set up the encirclement and blocked the four city gates, more than an hour had passed. After a brief rest, the second round of attack was about to begin.
This time, the soldiers of Jinzhou City were full of confidence. They knew that as long as the heavy crossbows fired arrows continuously, they would not have to worry about the enemy being able to attack the city walls.
However, this time the vanguard called upon by the Yuan Dynasty to lead the charge was no longer the wolf cavalry. Instead, ten stone giants in the army strode out from the array.
Each of these stone giants is thirty meters tall, with a huge body covered with angular rocks, looking seemingly indestructible.
No one, including Ye Li, knew what abilities they possessed, nor did they know what level of attack power they could unleash.
But it is obvious that these things are definitely not easy to deal with. The enemy lets them be the vanguard, but they are definitely not here to die.
After walking out of the army formation, the ten giants paused for a moment, and then suddenly began to run wildly towards the city wall.
Each of their steps could cover a distance of twenty meters. In just a few steps, they ran into the range of the heavy crossbows and began to gradually approach the city wall.
"Concentrate the heavy crossbows and attack the giant!!!"
Bian Yingxiong gave the order again.
The bowstrings of the heavy crossbows on the city wall sounded again, and the powerful arrows roared towards the ten giants.
The huge arrows easily penetrated the giant's body, creating huge holes in the rock.
However, the rocks on these giants were not as strong as everyone imagined. After the huge arrows shot in, they did not stop, but went straight through and fell to the ground behind the giants.
The arrows of the heavy crossbow can only explode after they come to a stop. Therefore, the arrows with the greatest lethality did not cause any damage to the giants at all, and all of them hit the ground behind them.
The rock giants rushed to a place not far from the city wall, then all squatted down with their hands pressed on the ground.
A strong wave of earth-based spiritual energy emanated, and the giant's hands pulled out a huge rock ball from the ground.
This rock ball is condensed from a mixture of solid mud and rocks as well as earth-based spiritual energy, and appears extremely huge and heavy.
The huge rock in each giant's hand has a diameter of seven or eight meters and looks huge.
"Shit, these guys are acting as trebuchets!!!"
Bian Yingxiong reacted immediately.
"Ah..."
A uniform roar was heard, and ten giants lifted the huge stone above their heads at the same time, then threw it towards the top of the city, hitting the protective shield above the city wall.
Ten huge shadows covered the city wall, forcing the soldiers below to dodge in fear.
Although they could not be sure whether these boulders could break open the defensive shield, no one wanted to take the risk. After all, once the defensive shield was broken, they would have to use their flesh and blood to withstand the bombardment of these heavy boulders.
Even if the spiritual warriors on the Nine Souls Continent have extremely powerful bodies, they dare not say that they can withstand the impact of such a huge rock. The only person on the entire city wall who can do this is probably Ye Li.
