Watching the Winged Group constantly attacking the catapults and crossbows, the First Saint of the Talisman snorted coldly and said, "These bugs have been flying for long enough, shoot them down!!!"
Hearing his words, Wei Wuyue turned around and gestured to the rear of the troops, and immediately an enemy formation began to move.
As the phalanx of soldiers dispersed, a row of upright giant crossbows were revealed.
Ye Li and others on the top of the city wall could clearly see the enemy's entire movement. When the upright giant crossbow appeared, everyone showed a look of surprise on their faces.
"Ye Li, quickly order the Flying Wings to come back. Those are giant sky-splitting crossbows, specially used to attack monsters in the sky. They actually got so many of them."
Li Rushan said to Ye Li anxiously.
Ye Li had never seen the Sky-Splitting Crossbow before, and he didn't react when he saw it just now, but now he immediately understood what these things were.
The Tianxia Alliance actually managed to obtain several hundred giant sky-splitting crossbows and hid them all at the back of the 300,000-strong army formation.
Obviously, the other side had already planned to wait for the Flying Wing Regiment to attack and then inflict heavy damage on them.
By the time Ye Li ordered the flag bearer to issue a retreat order to the Flying Wing Regiment on the top of the city, it was already a step too late. The enemy in the distance had already shot giant sky-splitting crossbows towards the direction of the Flying Wing Regiment.
It is called a giant crossbow, but in fact, the frame only looks big, and the crossbow arrows are only slightly larger than ordinary arrows.
These arrows made sharp sounds after breaking through the air.
This specially made crossbow and bow can shoot arrows to a very high altitude at an extremely fast speed. As the arrow flies, it seems to break through the sky. This is also the origin of the name of the Sky-Splitting Crossbow.
There were continuous whistling sounds in the air, and arrows shot into the crowd of the Flying Wing Regiment at an extremely fast speed. Suddenly, rows of Flying Wing Regiment soldiers fell from the air.
In order to reduce weight, these soldiers did not wear any armor. At most, they only wore very thin close-fitting spiritual armor to protect themselves.
Some soldiers who were proficient in defensive spells were able to barely withstand the attack of the arrows and only suffered minor injuries. Those soldiers with weaker defensive abilities were basically pierced by the arrows and fell from the air.
Of course, some soldiers were not shot through the body by arrows, but their wings behind them were destroyed by the arrows.
Once this sophisticated mechanism is destroyed, it will be difficult for the soldiers to maintain their balance, and they can only glide and fall crookedly from the air.
Although the fallen soldiers would not die immediately, they would have no chance of escape after falling into the enemy's camp, and would eventually die tragically at the hands of the enemy.
Ye Li looked a little angry at this moment. This was the first time he lost soldiers from the Flying Wing Regiment. He was also a little careless about the enemy. He didn't expect that the enemy would make such thorough preparations and completely target all his special forces.
Without the help of the Flying Wing Regiment, the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment no longer dared to continue attacking the catapults one after another, because the consumption was too great and they simply could not afford it.
Now they can only rely on the shield formation to block the enemy's long-range attacks, and then rely on the ordinary arrows shot by the Tianyue soldiers to delay the enemy's siege.
The Tongxin Alliance has already made preparations to defend against the enemy in close combat on the top of the city, and the Soul Gathering Cannon has also begun to prepare to withdraw to the foot of the city.
The area occupied by the Soul Gathering Cannon is really too large. If it can be withdrawn to the bottom of the city, more space can be left on the top of the city.
Moreover, these soul-gathering cannons can also serve as defensive weapons in the back row. Once the enemy enters the city, they can also exert great lethality.
Ye Li stood on the top of the city wall and took a look at the enemy's giant sky-splitting crossbows. The threat posed by these things was always huge, and they could completely restrict the actions of the Flying Wing Group.
The Flying Wing Regiment had already evacuated by now, but the last one or two rounds of attacks alone had caused them to lose nearly a thousand people.
Looking at the five thousand Flying Wing Regiment soldiers who had escaped, Ye Li felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He had never expected that his Flying Wing Group would suffer losses. Now it seems that he was too careless.
With an angry look at the giant crossbow that could split the sky in the distance, Ye Li gave an order to the flag bearer beside him, and immediately a flurry of flag signals were sent out towards the battlefield.
The First Talisman Saint in the distance was a little confused for a moment. The legions of the Tongxin Alliance had already withdrawn back to the city. Who was he sending this flag signal to
Before the doubts in his mind disappeared, a strong sound of footsteps came from behind, attracting his attention.
Ye Li's two cavalry regiments that had left the garrison city in advance suddenly emerged from the mountains behind the Tianxia Alliance and rushed towards the location of the Sky-Splitting Crossbow at an extremely fast speed.
"Damn it, they are trying to destroy the Sky-Splitting Crossbow. Stop them!!!"
The First Talisman Saint let out a roar, he already understood what the Cavalry Regiment meant.
However, it was too late for him to react now. The cavalry regiment was Ye Li's hidden backup all along. He originally wanted to use it at the critical moment, but now he could only send it out in advance.
He had to destroy the Sky-Splitting Crossbow, otherwise the air support function of the Flying Wing Regiment would be completely suppressed.
As the cavalry regiment approached, the rear of the Tianxia Alliance could only quickly try to change its defensive formation.
However, the formation of an army of 300,000 cannot be changed at will. The defensive force in the rear is relatively weak, so there is no way they can be a match for the cavalry regiment that is good at attacking.
The enemy troops near the Sky-Splitting Crossbow had just organized their defense, but it was torn apart by the cavalry regiment in an instant. The King Kong Rhinoceros and the Running Wolf began to launch a series of charging attacks towards the Sky-Splitting Crossbow.
Nearly six thousand cavalrymen charged back and forth in the Sky-Splitting Crossbow's position. With the help of the mountain shadows and the metal and stone waves, they cleared the entire position in just ten breaths.
All the giant sky-splitting crossbows were knocked down and trampled into pieces, with not even a single one left.
The cavalrymen who rushed into the rear of the enemy army, after looting and killing, turned around and ran out of the enemy formation, quickly disappearing into the distant mountains.
Seeing this, Ye Li smiled and pointed at the Flying Wing Group, saying, "Quick, go out again and make sure to destroy the enemy's catapults and crossbows.
If these two things are not destroyed, the enemy can use them to attack us even if we retreat into the city."
Upon hearing Ye Li's words, the Flying Wing Group immediately took off again and flew towards the direction of the catapult.
The attack from the Sky-Splitting Crossbow just now did make them feel quite frightened, but now without the Sky-Splitting Crossbow, the Flying Wing Regiment became almost invincible on this battlefield.
