C39 (1/2)
The front line of the Ning Army's offense was not good, but it did not seem like they were going to stop there. Next, all the surviving soldiers in the front lines retreated, and the 50,000 soldiers in the back lines continued their assault on the city.
Even if there was a short time of time where the middle of the formation switched positions, the Ning Army would not give the defending troops of Feng Country any time to rest. The hundred thousand archers launched their arrows once again, and the concentrated rain of arrows shot towards the top of the city walls.
In an instant, arrows covered the corpses and turned the walls of Tong Gate into a sea of arrows.
Due to previously suffering from the opponent's arrows, this time around, the Feng Country Guards were not anxious at all. They scattered one by one, either hiding behind the arrow stack, running down the city wall and hiding under the walls, or raising their shields to block the Arrow Rain.
When Ning Jun's arrow formation finally passed, the fifty thousand Ning Army soldiers once again launched an attack.
The people felt that this was simply a war of attrition and defense with no chance of winning. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and for twenty thousand people to resist the attacks of four hundred thousand people, this was simply talk on a whim.
They did not undergo any special combat training, so they were unable to go on stage to kill the enemy. However, they were able to help the soldiers help with their work, rescue the wounded, move the corpses, transport the defense equipment and so on.
Although their arrival couldn't make up for the difference in strength between the two sides, it warmed the hearts of the soldiers and gave them the motivation to continue fighting to the death. Even if it wasn't for their country, they had the responsibility to protect the lives of the tens of thousands of citizens in Tong Gate City.
The battle continued, but Tang Yin remained where he was and did not move.
His place could be considered a 'heavily injured area', and all of the soldiers with Feng Country here had basically all been used up, leaving only him, Gu Yue, Le Tian and the Qiu Zhen who had no fighting strength left.
Seeing Ning Bing set up the cloud ladder and climbed up frantically, the fully armored Tang Yin held onto his sickle and suddenly swung his Spirit Wave.
With a crisp crack, the ladder underneath him was snapped in half from the middle, and more than ten Ning soldiers fell down the ladder, screaming miserably.
Gu Yue did not dare to waste Qi, but luckily, he was strong, so he was able to move the Rolling Lumber And Stone effortlessly, causing great harm to the soldiers who were climbing the ladder.
In order to deal with the soldiers of the Ning Army, they didn't need to spiritualize the bodies of the arrows. Instead, they shot out ordinary arrows, but the lethality of the arrows was astonishing. Each arrow was able to hit a vital point of the enemy soldiers, and every time the sound of the bow rang out, it meant that one of the enemy soldiers had died from the arrows shot.
Qiu Zhen did not participate in the battle, but he was not idle either. He would collect arrows later and send them to Le Tian's side, and later, he would carry the Rolling Lumber And Stone over to Gu Yue.
However, they only had four people, so how could they defend against the city walls that was more than ten metres long? Very quickly, the Ning Army rushed up to them and began their close combat with Tang Yin and the rest.
He was completely incapable of unleashing his archery skills, but Tang Yin liked this kind of battle. The group of Ning soldiers were like a feast for his eyes, with one of his hands brandishing his black scythe, while the other burned his Fire of Darkness. He was absorbing spirit energy as he killed the enemies.
If it was a normal person, their body would definitely not be able to take it and cause their internal functions to be damaged. But Tang Yin, who had practiced martial arts since young, had a strong and robust body, and the sudden increase in his spiritual energy would only cause him discomfort for a short period of time, but his body could quickly adapt.
There were more and more Ning soldiers gathering by his side, and the corpses and empty armors on the ground were increasing rapidly, Tang Yin was completely numb to his killing now, all the Ning soldiers around him were no longer human in his eyes, they were pigs, dogs, beasts, anyway, they were not humans, and he could only continue fighting with this mindset.
Tang Yin was unable to calculate how many people he had already killed. Just the number of empty armors he had created was already more than a few hundred, and as for the number of enemies he had swept down from the top of the city walls, there were simply too many to count.
Just as he was about to kill everyone in the darkness, he suddenly heard someone shout from behind him, ”Big Brother Tang, save me!”
Other than Qiu Zhen, there was no one else who could call him Big Brother Tang.
Tang Yin waved his blade quickly and killed the surrounding enemies. He then took the chance to jump onto the arrow bridge, and looked at the situation, if the city walls were already filled with soldiers, then Qiu Zhen, Gu Yue, Le Tian Tian had been forced to a corner, with Gu Yue alone protecting the two, facing the sea of enemies, he had to struggle to hold on, his body seemed to be injured, and blood was continuously dripping down from the leather armor on his body.
Tang Yin confirmed the location of Qiu Zhen and the others, then jumped down the arrow stack, with three consecutive slashes of the scythe in his hand, he unleashed three Spirit Wave s, rushing towards the Ning soldiers at an even faster speed, causing dozens of people to be hit by the Spirit Wave and their bodies to immediately be split into two, the smooth cuts on their bodies looked as though they had been cut by laser beams.
Tang Yin suppressed his strength and rushed towards Qiu Zhen with all his might. He brandished his spirit transformed sickle, it was extremely sharp and unstoppable, causing Ning Bing's wails to echo in the sky, falling down in groups.
Along the way, he had practically walked over while stepping on the corpses of his enemies. His spirit armor had been washed over and over by the blood that had splashed onto it, and up until now, it was hard to tell if it was black or red.
When he finally got to Qiu Zhen's side, he saw that the three of them were alright, he sighed in relief and said to Gu Yue: ”First, you block the enemy again!” After he finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Yue's response, he had already walked behind and squatted down.
