Chapter 1510: The second defense of the city

Views:

The battle was in a stalemate at this moment, and the core area of the battle had all shifted to the vicinity of the heavy crossbows. The Jinzhou City army was desperately protecting the heavy crossbows to prevent the wolf cavalry from destroying them.

Although the wolf cavalry were fearless and had strong defensive capabilities, their numbers were still much smaller than the defenders on the city walls. Especially under the interception of masters such as Ye Li, they were eliminated quite quickly.

In the distance, the Yuan Dynasty's battering rams and tower cars had already entered the range of the heavy crossbows and were approaching the city walls.

Bian Yingxiong's whole body was gushing with flames. He swung the long sword in his hand, and two streams of flames instantly engulfed the two wolf cavalrymen.

He took a look at the Yuan Dynasty's siege equipment, and then shouted to the heavy crossbowmen: "Quick, focus the heavy crossbows' fire, destroy the tower car first, then attack the battering ram!!!"

As his order was given, dozens of huge crossbow arrows were fired at the same time. With one volley, two building vehicles were destroyed.

In fact, due to its extremely huge size, it is very difficult to completely destroy it. The shooting points of these heavy crossbows are very well chosen, and they all attack the moving body under the building car.

As long as the lower body of the vehicle is destroyed, the building crane will become useless. After all, such a heavy and huge machine will be difficult to move on the field after losing its wheels.

Since the tower carriage could not move, it could not approach the city wall smoothly, and naturally the soldiers could not climb up.

After losing two tower cars, the enemy still had three tower cars left. The enemy's defense against these three tower cars became tight, and the soldiers tried to protect the vehicle bodies under the tower cars.

Sure enough, after three consecutive rounds of shooting, they finally destroyed another tower car, and the last two had begun to approach the city wall.

When it gets close, it is difficult for the heavy crossbow to shoot at the part of the vehicle body under the feet of the building vehicle. After all, the angle of the heavy crossbow is still limited and it is impossible to achieve all-round shooting.

The Yuan Dynasty army deployed some top officers near the tower carriages, which greatly increased their defense capabilities. Most of the huge arrows from the heavy crossbows were intercepted.

Although the last two tower cars were somewhat damaged, they still withstood the attack and were successfully pushed under the city wall.

The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty pressed the tower car tightly against the city wall, so that the tower car was completely close to the city wall. The platform on top of it also exceeded the height of the city wall, allowing the soldiers hiding in the car to rush out directly and jump onto the city wall.

The number of wolf cavalrymen was very small at this moment. Seeing that there was no need to hunt the wolf cavalrymen anymore, Ye Li decisively rushed towards the building vehicle.

The soldiers on the tower carriages kept pouring out and charging towards the city walls. The soldiers below the city also gathered under the tower carriages and began to climb up the ladders, trying to reach the city walls quickly.

The focus of defense on the city wall immediately shifted from the area near the crossbow cart to the area around the tower cart.

Ye Li picked up a spiritual sword used by the soldiers on the ground and slashed towards the building car.

With the help of the long sword, Ye Li's attack range instantly expanded a lot.

He leaped directly onto the building vehicle and swung his long sword around him. Even without the infusion of spiritual energy, he killed all the soldiers near the building vehicle with one sword.

Under the suppression of his terrifying power, the surrounding soldiers and their weapons were cut in half by his sword.

However, although his sword was powerful, the long sword in his hand could not hold on. After cutting off several weapons, it broke into three pieces.

Ye Li threw the remaining small piece of the long sword towards a wolf cavalryman not far away. A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the wolf cavalryman on the opposite side was instantly pierced through the head by the last piece of the blade on the handle, turning into gold spiritual energy and dissipating in the air.

Ye Li kicked the ground with his right foot, and a huge axe flipped into the air and was caught in his hand.

Powerful force gathered in Ye Li's arms, and his muscles swelled and twisted like little snakes.

“Boom boom boom…”

Ye Li's body shook violently at the fastest speed, and he chopped seven or eight times in a row in one go. The axe shadow instantly pierced through the building car under his feet.

Several huge cracks suddenly appeared on the building car, and the cracks went all the way down, extending to occupy one-third of the building car.

The cracked building car began to shake. As the soldiers below continued to climb up, the upper part of the building car became heavier and heavier. The cracks cut by Ye Li also began to expand and become bigger and bigger.

Feeling the building car under his feet becoming shaky, Ye Li quickly jumped back onto the city wall. Then he ignored the building car he had just attacked and started rushing towards another building car not far away.

The building carriage on this side soon began to collapse. As more and more soldiers came, the entire building carriage finally collapsed with a loud bang after a crisp sound.

Half of the height of the building was completely shattered, and fragments fell everywhere. The soldiers who had climbed to the top all fell down with screams, and turned into balls of meat on the ground.

The remaining half of the tower's height was no longer enough for the soldiers to climb up the city wall, and the pressure on the top of the city was immediately reduced by half.

Ye Li rushed to the second building car with a huge axe and used the same trick again.

After killing the enemy on top of the building car with one move, he chopped and hacked vertically and horizontally, destroying the structure of the building car with his immense force.

The shaky building vehicle could no longer bear the weight of the soldiers on it and collapsed again.

Ye Li himself jumped back onto the city wall at the last moment before the building collapsed.

At this time, all the wolf cavalry had been wiped out, and the entire city began to become quiet.

After a concentrated round of shooting by the heavy crossbowmen, they directly destroyed the last two battering rams of the Yuan Dynasty. Now the enemy had no chance of attacking the top of the city.

A golden gong sounded in the Yuan Dynasty, which was obviously a signal to retreat.

The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty, who had just been pouring in like a tide, began to change from the front team to the back team, and ran back the way they came at an even faster speed.

The defenders of Jinzhou City on the top of the city wall cheered with great excitement.

“We held on, we held on!!!”

"Hahaha, the enemy has retreated..."

… …

Countless people were shouting hysterically. The joy of surviving the disaster had made them ignore the pain and fatigue in their bodies.

"Prepare to fire a volley, send these bastards home!!!"

Bian Yingxiong was ecstatic and roared with laughter.

The soldiers hurriedly picked up bows and arrows and began shooting wildly at the fleeing Yuan soldiers.

It was impossible to maintain the formation during the retreat. Without the protection of the shield bearers, the soldiers became complete sitting ducks. Under the pouring of arrows, nearly a thousand lives were lost in an instant. This attack by the Yuan Dynasty was completely declared a failure.
