Chapter 290
Zhang Yan and several major Heishan Army Channel Marshals supervised the battle from below the city, continuously commanding the Heishan Army to attack Changshan City one after another.
The city defense of Changshan City was far beyond Zhang Yan's imagination.
Almost every round, ten thousand Heishan Army soldiers fell under the sharp arrows of the enemy.
Seeing countless Heishan Army soldiers fall, Zhang Yan, as the main general of the Heishan Army, felt his heart ache like a knife.
But this was the price the Heishan Army had to pay to break through Changshan City.
Of course!
Changshan City was not having an easy time either.
There was no lack of elite archers in the Heishan Army.
And they occupied a numerical advantage.
The enemy had hundreds of thousands of archer troops, forming archer arrays.
The sky-covering arrows suddenly fell like a rainstorm, attacking Changshan City in a black mass.
Even though Changshan City was a Jun-level city and had very exaggerated city defense capabilities.
It still couldn't withstand the attack of hundreds of thousands of arrows.
That sky-covering arrow curtain was no different from a violent storm; even many arrows collided in the air, instantly producing sparks and splashing, with a compelling momentum.
Even though Su Li had ordered the melee troops to raise their shields and block in front from the very beginning, they couldn't block so many arrows.
Many ordinary troops were hit by arrows and fell.
The Heishan Army archers used their absolute numerical advantage and fierce firepower to suppress the Changshan City troops on the wall.
The Changshan City archers fought back with the advantage of the city wall.
Both sides were suffering casualties at every moment.
But if you really compare them.
Undoubtedly, the number of deaths in the Heishan Army was much higher.
The death ratio even reached one to several dozen!
After all, the Heishan Army didn't have archers like the Strong Crossbow Elite Soldiers who were comparable to special troop types.
Nor did they have a terrifying weapon like the Mother-Child Repeating Crossbow.
If this continued.
As long as the Heishan Army couldn't break the city gates of Changshan City, then the outcome was destined to be a defeat.
"Leader, this is not a way to go. Let me, Li Brother Damu, go up and take the city tower!"
Seeing that the Heishan Army had already suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties so far and still couldn't conquer even an inch of the Changshan City wall, Li Brother Damu volunteered.
"I, Zuo Zi, am willing to go with Brother Brother Damu to take the city tower!"
"I, Ku Qiu, am also willing to go!"
"I, Liu Shi, will definitely take the merit of being the first to climb!"
Four Heishan Army Channel Marshals took the initiative to request battle, wanting to take the merit of being the first to climb Changshan City, so that after breaking the city, they would get more resources.
So, with Zhang Yan's tacit approval, they began to lead their respective elites to attack the city.
After the Heishan Army Channel Marshals personally entered the field, the enemy's morale increased sharply.
The four Heishan Army Channel Marshals brandished their respective weapons and attacked simultaneously; most of the crossbow arrow attacks were ineffective against them.
They joined forces to destroy them and carved out a bloody path.
"Mother-Child Repeating Crossbow troops, listen to my command!"
Su Li immediately dispatched half of the Mother-Child Repeating Crossbows, preparing to snipe at the four Heishan Army Channel Marshals.
The crossbow bolts, several meters long, split into hundreds or thousands of child-arrows, simultaneously covering the four Heishan Army Channel Marshals.
Each of them displayed their martial arts, forcibly taking the explosive power of the Mother-Child Repeating Crossbow!
Boom!
The four people were immediately blasted back several meters.
The impact of the Mother-Child Repeating Crossbow was truly terrifying.
They felt the arms holding their weapons trembling violently.
But after all, they were four high-level martial generals.
The power of the Mother-Child Repeating Crossbow was strong, but not enough to kill all four of them at once.
But the next moment.
The four Heishan Army Channel Marshals continued to take steps and aggressively attacked the city.
Since he couldn't kill the enemy generals with the Mother-Child Repeating Crossbow, Su Li simply let them come up.
They were just four high-level martial generals; they couldn't stir up any trouble.
The enemy's charge continued.
And it was getting closer and closer to the city wall.
The corpses of the Heishan Army and the player troops were constantly piling up under the city wall.
As more and more corpses piled up, a corpse ladder naturally formed.
A corpse ladder spanning half the height of the city wall.
The Changshan Jun city wall was nearly twenty meters high.
For ordinary people, it was still a height that was difficult to cross.
But for a martial general, or even a high-level martial general, this was not an insurmountable height!
They couldn't jump up in one leap.
But with enough corpse ladders and stepping stones.
It was not difficult to rush up!
The distance of hundreds of meters passed in the blink of an eye.
When the four Channel Marshals carried their attacks to the foot of the city wall, several Heishan Army minor leaders consciously stood on the corpse ladder, becoming their stepping stones.
"Kill!"
Li Brother Damu and the other three Heishan Army Channel Marshals shouted, soared into the air directly from their horses, and pounced toward the city wall.
When they were exhausted and falling, they first stepped on the corpse ladder to borrow force, and then when they were about to fall, they stepped on the heads of several Heishan Army soldiers, their bodies soared into the air again, and they jumped directly toward the city wall!
Before they even arrived.
The various weapons in their hands were already raised high, slashing toward the troops guarding the city wall.
Changshan Jun City?
20-meter-high city wall?
Specially made bed crossbow equipment?
All jokes!
As long as they could climb the city wall, no one would be able to withstand their attacks.
Everything in this huge Jun city would become their spoils of war!
Li Brother Damu and the four were very confident.
Only if they joined forces, let alone these ordinary troops, even a master like Guan Hai could only drink hatred under their blades!
On the city wall.
Su Li had been watching all this coldly.
He did not let Zhao Yu and the others take action to intercept these Channel Marshals.
Nor did he let his troops concentrate their firepower to suppress the enemy.
He just watched as the four Heishan Army Channel Marshals used the corpses as a ladder and the Heishan Army as stepping stones to rush toward the city wall!
Then!
Su Li personally took action!
