Chapter 712: Falling Back at Every Turn

Boom!

At the same time, the neighboring City Gate also collapsed with a crash at this moment.

"From the main gate! Attack from the side! Destroy those catapults!"

On the city wall, Xuan Yuan Hua Di saw the people coming from the City Gate direction and immediately issued orders.

"The gate is broken; launch another wave and abandon the catapults!"

Su Sheng rode ahead, blocking the front of the alley; it was still too open here.

Although the enemy had lost three to four thousand in total, their numbers still exceeded ours, and their elite rate was very high!

From these engagements, Yanhuang also lost about seven to eight hundred, and aside from the early advantage of the city wall, in the direct alley battles the casualty ratio was close to one to one!

This is the power of money! And this is with Su Sheng holding the line; otherwise the enemy would have equipment superiority and a high elite rate. Not to speak of any advantage—Yanhuang barely managing to level the field is already difficult.

Although they have all revived, their levels have indeed been solidly lost.

Their equipment, of course, also dropped, but the enemy lost even more.

As for the catapults, abandoned are abandoned; compared to the current levels, Su Sheng feels these catapults aren't much of a deal.

Replace some of the enemy's living forces, and their mission is fulfilled.

After all, the enemy cannot revive like we can.

As for losing? Su Sheng never imagined he could lose; it's just about how much our side is willing to pay. To put it bluntly, we could even sacrifice the existence of the Revival Plaza to wear the enemy out.

Looking at the pile of fragments before him, Xuan Yuan Hua Di's expression was not pleasant.

The catapults finally broke, but the cost was rather high.

The main gate side originally had about forty thousand people; Hongmeng Tian Sheng Changge added twenty thousand, Imperial Dynasty and Qiancheng Muxue added ten thousand, Shenhua Guild and Qingfeng Pavilion added ten thousand.

But Qingfeng Pavilion was useless; it was scattered by kills at the start, leaving only some remnants.

From forty thousand, more than thirty‑seven thousand remained.

But now, breaking through the wall took over two to three thousand, then this process was taxed by the catapult, costing over a thousand, and the frontal clash also lost over a thousand.

Altogether about five thousand were gone, exceeding his budget.

Originally, a loss of two thousand was calculated enough to breach the city, after all they had prepared various Bottom Cards.

And they were only facing a little over ten thousand Yanhuang.

The other side's wall still had twenty thousand, and according to reports, about seven thousand Yanhuang were holding firm there.

"Chairman, don't worry; even if casualties exceed expectations, our numbers are still about three times Yanhuang's, and moreover Yanhuang has lost the city wall advantage."

"Even if we end up with a casualty ratio of one to one, or even two to one, we can still win!"

Bu Tui Jushi, standing nearby, laughed and said.

"Indeed, go! Charge in! Head straight for Yanhuang Town's center!"

"As long as we destroy Yanhuang Town's Territory Stone, everything will be settled!"

"Count the remaining siege explosives!"

The Territory Stone is also a town facility; siege tools cause damage to town structures far beyond that of player attacks.

"Prepare defenses; Yanhuang still has that previous kind of tool!"

"Don't worry, I've checked; that tool is single‑use and extremely precious!"

"This time the enemy still has twenty thousand holding back; if the siege engines on their wall swivel their barrels, our twenty thousand can seize the opportunity to break in."

"Furthermore… Nai He is still there!" Qiancheng Gongzi said, smiling at the defending knight beside him.

Bu Du Nai He! Qiancheng Muxue's First T! Of course it's the new First T, originally a Solo Player, finally recruited at a high price by Qiancheng Muxue, obviously because of his team combo skill!

Even if Yanhuang, like last time, swivels the siege engines on the other side of the wall, the combo skill of Bu Du Nai He can still hold them off.

"Kill! Observe the finger path!"

"Actually, it seems we don't really need to observe; the problem isn't big. The location of that big tree is Yanhuang Town's center."

"Haha, Mo Wen Qianchen is also acting crazy, insisting on planting such a tall tree in his own town center; his own bagua layout was destroyed by himself."

"Charge!!"

"The alley is narrow; split the troops into two routes and rush forward!"

What follows is a blade‑to‑blade fight!

Tian Sheng Changge, Imperial Dynasty, Qiancheng Muxue, and some top members of Shenhua Guild led the charge, sweeping forward like a hot knife through butter!

Su Sheng was also helpless; he's strong! But two fists can't match four hands— the combined elite from several major guilds were just too many. Su Sheng can hold a front but can't block them all.

Moreover, they split their forces into two routes!

"Don't clash head‑on; we'll fight while retreating. Rest assured we still have Bottom Cards."

Su Sheng pierced ahead with a spear.

Swish~

At that moment, a streak of light shot out at extreme speed.

Su Sheng raised his shield!

Bang!

-34771!

Su Sheng's complexion changed slightly; the damage was huge!

He glanced at the combat prompt!

Bu Tui Jushi!

This guy!

Sure enough, still that kind of ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Haha, Chairman Mo Wen, I've long admired your name!"

A player wearing a Daoist robe and holding a whisk looked toward Su Sheng from behind.

Looking at his outfit, it somewhat resembled Su Ba's, but the damage was who knows how much higher than Su Ba's.

The whisk swung!

Points of starlight fell in midair.

Points of light fell, each dealing not-low damage!

Su Sheng managed to withstand it, but some Yan Huang players beside him were blown to death, and the priest behind couldn't heal them in time.

The alley was too narrow; with so many people, there was no room to dodge.

This guy's damage is even higher than that of the Judgment Angel, and it's area damage.

Besides, next to the Unyielding Hermit is Jiang Hai Tange! At the Tian Sheng Changge assembly, an Arcane Mage!

As a Law Grandmaster! He himself is also the chairman of a major guild, and this guy's damage is also high.

"Retreat!"

Su Sheng had everyone retreat backward.

It's a loss to keep fighting these two if we can't kill them, but looking at Qiancheng Lihualuo, Yuwen Chengdu, and Xia Shang Xi Zhou blocking the front, Su Sheng guessed he couldn't break through.

As for Divine Thunder Magic Light, the Unyielding Hermit and Jiang Hai Tange are outside its range.

For a moment, the battle situation became intense!

On the Yan Huang side, facing the allied forces' uniform elite charges, they also kept retreating.

Some bolder players entered through the city gate and that gap, climbing onto Yan Huang's city wall.

"It seems Yan Huang is indeed worrisome."

"Yeah, they've almost killed their way to the center of Yan Huang's town."

"Not necessarily; Yan Huang's people are still respawning."

"However, the respawn plaza is blocked; the Primordial people are holding it there, and anyone who respawns can't support this side unless they can break through the Primordial."

"This time the Nine Great Guilds are truly well prepared."

"As for the Eight Great Guilds, the Clear Wind Pavilion is just here to joke around."

"Ah, although I don't want to see Yan Huang's base destroyed, it looks inevitable."

Yan Huang's base is still quite convenient for the solo players, but they can't interfere in the power struggle among the major guilds.
