Chapter 566
Zhang Yan and several major Heishan Army commanders supervised the battle under the city, continuously directing the Heishan Army to attack Changshan City one after another.
The defense of Changshan City far exceeded Zhang Yan's imagination.
Almost every round, ten thousand Heishan Army soldiers died under the enemy's sharp arrows.
Zhang Yan saw countless Heishan Army soldiers fall, and as the main general of the Heishan Army, his heart ached 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 shortage of elite archers in the Heishan Army.
And they occupied the numerical advantage.
The enemy had hundreds of thousands of archer units, forming an archer array.
The sky-covering arrows fell like a rainstorm, attacking Changshan City in a dark mass.
Even though Changshan City was a commandery-level city and had a very exaggerated defensive capability.
It could not withstand the attack of hundreds of thousands of arrows.
That sky-covering arrow curtain was no different from a violent storm, and even many arrows collided in the air, instantly producing sparks and splashing, with a compelling momentum.
Even though Su Li had ordered the melee units to raise their shields and block in front from the very beginning, they could not block so many arrows.
Many ordinary troop types were hit by arrows and fell.
The Heishan Army archers used their absolute numerical advantage and fierce firepower to suppress the Changshan City troop types on the wall.
The Changshan City archers retaliated 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 did not have archers like the Strong Crossbow Elite Soldiers who were comparable to special troop types.
And even less, a terrifying weapon like the Child-Mother Repeating Crossbow.
If this continues.
As long as the Heishan Army cannot break through the gates of Changshan City, the outcome is destined to be a defeat.
"Leader, this is not a way to go; let me, Li Damu, go up and take the city tower!"
Li Damu saw that the Heishan Army had already suffered 100,000 to 200,000 casualties so far and still could not capture half an inch of the Changshan City wall, so he volunteered.
"I, Zuo Zi, am willing to go with Brother Damu to take the city tower!"
"I, Ku Qiu, am also willing to go!"
"I, Liu Shi, will definitely take the credit for the first ascent!"
Four Heishan Army commanders took the initiative to request battle, wanting to take the credit for the first ascent of 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 commanders personally entered the field, the enemy's morale surged.
The four Heishan Army commanders brandished their respective weapons and attacked at the same time; most of the crossbow bolt attacks were ineffective against them.
They destroyed them together and carved out a bloody path.
"Child-Mother Repeating Crossbow units, listen to my command!"
Su Li immediately dispatched half of the Child-Mother Repeating Crossbows, preparing to snipe the four Heishan Army commanders.
Several-meter-long crossbow bolts split into hundreds or thousands of child arrows, simultaneously covering the four Heishan Army commanders.
The few people each displayed their martial arts, forcibly taking the power of the Child-Mother Repeating Crossbow explosion!
Boom!
The four people were immediately blasted back several meters.
The impact of the Child-Mother Repeating Crossbow was truly terrifying.
They felt that the arms holding their weapons were trembling violently.
But after all, they were four high-tier generals.
The power of the Child-Mother Repeating Crossbow was strong, but not enough to kill all four of them at once.
But the next moment.
The four Heishan Army commanders continued to take steps and aggressively attacked the city.
Since the enemy generals could not be killed with the Child-Mother Repeating Crossbow, Su Li simply let them come up.
They were just four high-tier 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.
Changshan Commandery City, nearly twenty meters in wall height.
For ordinary people, it was still a height that was difficult to cross.
But for a general, or even a high-tier general, this was not a height that was difficult to overcome!
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 commanders 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 Damu and the other four Heishan Army commanders shouted, directly leaping from their horses and pouncing 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 again, and they jumped directly toward the city wall!
