Another command rang out, and arrows poured down on the city tower like a torrential rain. This time, the Nan Liang soldiers didn't even have time to react before many were struck by arrows, crying out miserably as they fell.

Right at this tense moment, Ye Wu suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't panic! Everyone hold steady, protect yourselves, look for an opportunity to counterattack!" His voice was like a great bell, reverberating across the battlefield.

Hearing Ye Wu's shout, the Nan Liang soldiers snapped back to their senses as if waking from a dream. They quickly raised their shields, stood ready in formation, preparing to meet the enemy's attack.

Simultaneously, Yan Wang also shouted loudly: "Archers prepare, continue fire attack! Shoot skyward!" At his command, several streaks of fire instantly rose into the air, streaking toward the sky above the city tower like meteors.

These fire arrows didn't fly straight from the front; instead, like raindrops, they poured down one after another from above, as if a rain of blazing fire had fallen. The fire rain landed on the city tower, and the Nan Liang soldiers were terrified; they hurriedly raised their shields, desperately blocking the fire arrows falling like raindrops from above.

However, just as they exerted all their strength to block the attack from above, they exposed their own flaws. Seeing this, Yan Wang immediately seized the opportunity and shouted: "Archers, general attack! Speed must be fast!"

These archers were all veterans of many battles; they reacted swiftly to Yan Wang's order. In an instant, arrows shot toward the Nan Liang soldiers' exposed gaps like a violent wind and sudden rain.

For a moment, arrows flew everywhere; the Nan Liang soldiers were caught off guard and fell one after another, struck by arrows. Ai Jiao watched this scene excitedly from the side; he excitedly rallied morale, shouting loudly: "Everyone, add oil! Together take down Yi Xin Cheng!"

Inspired by Ai Jiao, everyone's morale soared; they continued attacking while responding enthusiastically: "Take down Yi Xin Cheng! Take down Yi Xin Cheng!"

Just as these two waves of attack struck like a violent storm, the Nan Liang soldiers had completely not anticipated suffering such a fierce blow, and instantly fell into chaos.

However, right at this critical moment, Ye Wu's voice suddenly rang out: "Reserves up! Shield soldiers defend! Archers, we'll also use fire attack!" His orders were decisive and clear, as if he had long anticipated Nan Liang's counterattack.

Sure enough, just as Ye Wu predicted, Nan Liang's sword rain immediately followed, pouring down like raindrops; the dense arrows left nowhere to hide.

The shield soldiers quickly raised their shields, forming a solid line of defense, doing their utmost to protect the archers behind them.

However, facing such dense attacks, the shield soldiers also appeared somewhat overwhelmed. They carried the archers dodging everywhere, looking very bedraggled, as if they might be hit by the arrow rain at any moment.

Simultaneously, Yan Wang, Ai Jiao, and Tang Qi, the three of them, also did not show weakness; they quickly grabbed shields and bravely blocked Nan Liang's attack. Despite this, Dachang's soldiers were still frightened by the fire attack and scattered in flight; the scene momentarily spun out of control.

Standing on the city tower, Ye Wu saw this and couldn't help but burst into loud laughter. He mocked: "Haha, it's just a fire attack; who doesn't know how? A Ren't you lot also scurrying around like grandsons now?" His laughter echoed on the city tower, full of ridicule and disdain.

Hearing Ye Wu's laughter, Yan Wang shouted loudly: "Everyone don't panic! Defend well with shields!" He tried to steady the troops' hearts, to get the soldiers to reorganize effective resistance.

However, despite Yan Wang shouting until his voice was hoarse, Dachang's soldiers were still shrouded in fear, scattering in flight. Some soldiers had even hidden in the blind spots under the city tower, completely losing the courage to fight.

Watching this scene, Ye Wu laughed even more wildly. He mocked: "Kid, you're still too young; you fundamentally cannot steady the troops' hearts!"

And right at this time, more and more Dachang soldiers, to avoid the blazing fire, hid under the city tower. They were terrified, not daring to show their heads easily, because as soon as someone poked their head out slightly, those dense arrows like raindrops would immediately shoot over like a locust swarm, leaving people nowhere to escape.

However, after a while, Ye Wu suddenly sensed something was off. The area under the city tower, where people should have been constantly poking their heads out, had become abnormally quiet at this moment, not even a trace of movement.

Not only that, he also faintly heard a "thump thump thump" sound coming from below; although the sound wasn't loud, in this tense atmosphere it appeared exceptionally abrupt.

Ye Wu's heart tightened; an ominous premonition welled up. He decided promptly and shouted loudly: "Stop shooting arrows! Immediately go support the city gate! They're attacking our city gate!" His voice reverberated on the city tower, making all Nan Liang soldiers realize the seriousness of the situation.

Simultaneously, the sound of the gate being rammed grew louder and louder, as if the entire city gate was trembling. Seeing this, the Nan Liang soldiers hurriedly sped up their descent, rushing toward the city gate anxiously.

And at the city gate, those Nan Liang soldiers responsible for bracing the gate gritted their teeth even more, using all their strength, desperately holding the gate that was about to be smashed open.

Right at this critical moment, the Nan Liang soldiers on the city gate stopped shooting arrows. This undoubtedly gave Yan Wang an excellent opportunity.

His gaze was like a torch, staring fixedly at the city gate; he shouted "Drive!" then fiercely spurred his horse's flanks, and his warhorse shot straight toward the city gate like an arrow leaving the bow.

The other Dachang soldiers saw this and also didn't hesitate, following closely behind. They were agile, dismounting lightly like flying swallows, then pouncing on the city gate like hungry tigers, joining up with the soldiers at the gate, united in ramming Yi Xin Cheng's city gate together.

However, Nan Liang's soldiers were already at a numerical disadvantage, plus they had suffered heavy casualties from Dachang's two rounds of fire attack. Right at this critical moment, only a crisp "crack" was heard, and the city gate was finally breached!

Yan Wang led from the front, long sword in hand, charging into the city first like a tiger descending a mountain. Ai Jiao and Tang Qi saw this and followed close behind without hesitation. Their eyes were red with killing; they killed one whenever they saw one, showing no mercy.

Yan Wang's target was clear; he charged straight at Ye Wu. Ye Wu saw the situation was bad, knew this person came with ill intent, and immediately roused himself to twelve points of spirit to meet the fight.

He calculated in his heart: as long as he could first behead Dachang's leader, the enemy's morale would surely suffer a huge blow, and then his own side would certainly hold a firm grasp on victory.

However, to Ye Wu's unexpected surprise, despite Yan Wang's young age, his martial arts were extraordinarily high. The two engaged in close combat, and for a time it was actually difficult to determine a winner.
