"Commander! The siege troops of the outsiders have begun to gather!"

Outside the camp, a report from a subordinate came in. Zhao Pan, who was taking a nap at this time, suddenly opened his eyes. After recovering for a while, he said aloud, "Tell all the city defenders to assemble behind the city gate. I will soon

arrive!"

After saying that, Zhao Pan stood up quickly, scooped a bowl of water from the clay pot where the water was stored, and washed his face with cold water. The tired look on his face was quickly covered up. From the moment he walked out of the camp,

He once again turned back into the calm city-defending general!

"To what position have the Outsiders' siege troops advanced?"

Zhao Pan's calm voice calmed down the soldiers who were still obviously nervous. A sentry quickly ran over and replied, "Still three hundred steps away."

After hearing this, Zhao Pan nodded, already having an idea in his mind, and then loudly issued an order, "In this round of siege, the slingers will be divided into two groups, the first, second, and third teams.

The team is responsible for focusing on suppressing the opposing siege force, and will be referred to as Team 1 from now on. Team 4 is responsible for suppressing the archers of the opponent, and will be referred to as Team 2 from now on. Follow my instructions when it comes to taking action!"

"In addition, the archer team is responsible for sniping the siege vehicles on the opposite side. The shield and axe soldiers' duties remain the same, protecting the slingers!"

"Yes!" Soldiers from all units responded in unison after hearing the order.

Later, Zhao Pan picked up a spare round leather shield and climbed directly onto one of the sentry towers. Apparently he was going to take command personally. After all, compared to the sentry, he was also a slinger.

After confirming the location and distance of enemy troops with your own eyes, you can issue orders more accurately.

Outside the city, the siege troops of the outsiders were advancing with all their strength, obviously trying to advance a little further before Zhao Pan and others who were defending the city could react.

However, how fast can it be? Even in the era of cold weapons, the light cavalry, which is recognized as the fastest, is unlikely to rush all the way to the opponent's city gate before the defenders can react. The infantry will

It's even more impossible, unless all the troops defending the city are blind, and by the way, the cavalry is simply not suitable for siege warfare.

Zhang Yisheng clearly knew where his advantage lay. He decisively commanded his archers before the opponent took action, suppressed the opponent with two rounds of volleys, and covered the advance of his siege troops.

The opponent's harassment tactics made him a little anxious. He originally wanted to fight a war of attrition, but now he urgently wanted to break through the opposite city gate before sunset today.

But Zhao Pan was obviously not a vegetarian, and he would not let it be easy for him. He decisively commanded his slingers to fight back. Pieces of stone bullets continued to fly out from behind the ancient city wall, making it difficult for the siege troops in front.

He held up the shield in his hand and gritted his teeth to hold on.

Zhang Yisheng, who was standing at the rear, could clearly feel the changes in the offensive of the opponent's slingers. Compared with yesterday's attack pattern where a large number of stone bombs were concentrated in one place, today's opponent's offensive was obviously spread out.

When he realized this, his face was solemn, "What a difficult guy!"

He glanced at the soldiers under his command. Although they had taken a short rest, their mental state was still not good. The other party had identified the weakness of their troops' poor condition, so they dared to disperse directly like this without any cover.

The slingers' offensive suppresses both sides at the same time!

While his thoughts were spinning, several soldiers in the siege force had already been hit by flying stone bullets and their heads were bleeding. Zhang Yisheng could not help gritting his teeth when he saw this scene.

After all, he is currently the 27th player in the same tier standings. How could he fall into the hands of a player who has not even made it into the top 100? Are you kidding him?!

As soon as he thought about this, Zhang Yisheng, who also started to feel cruel, decisively waved his hand and activated the 'Inspire Morale' skill, "There is no need to save arrows anymore, the archers troops, use all their bows and arrows to suppress the opponent and cover the advancement of the siege troops!"

"

High-frequency continuous firing of bows and arrows will increase the burden on the archers' arms. As a veteran of siege warfare, Zhang Yisheng previously considered that it was a war of attrition. Both physical strength and arrows needed to be allocated reasonably.

Okay, plus the all-out suppression of the slingers on the opposite side yesterday was indeed powerful, so we were not able to achieve full firepower in all senses.

But now, he can no longer control so much. He feels that if the war of attrition continues, he may be the one who is eventually consumed. When he realizes this, he is already determined to break through the iron before the sun sets.

The city gate of the Bi tribe!

Faced with this apparently ferocious long-range attack, the one who felt it most clearly was undoubtedly the defenders behind the city gate. The exaggerated rain of arrows made it impossible for the ten shield and ax soldiers to parry, and even found it difficult to protect themselves.

The slingers, who were originally in a relatively comfortable environment, suffered a powerful blow in an instant. Many of the defenders were shot into hedgehogs on the spot by the waves of arrows that hit them.

This sudden change made Zhao Pan, who had always been extremely calm, flash a look of surprise in his eyes, and then he quickly activated his 'morale boosting' skill and shouted, "All the slingers retreat thirty steps!"

Zhao Pan's 'Morale Boost' shot boosted the morale of his own troops in time, preventing the morale of the defenders who had been attacked from falling too sharply. He finally managed to maintain the situation in the camp. However,

The next step is the key!

"You actually have a hand in hand? Looking at this posture, the leader of the outsiders must have realized that if we continue to consume each other like this, it will actually be beneficial to me. Is he planning to attack the city in one go? Just rely on the second team.

The long-range firepower simply cannot suppress this outsider archer unit..." Using the round leather shield in his hand to defend himself, Zhao Pan glanced at the archer unit standing on the high ground outside, and his whole mood suddenly became solemn.

pole!

"Let all the slingers focus on the archers on the opposite side and force them back?" At this moment, various thoughts kept flashing through his mind, and he was thinking about the strategy to deal with it, "No, this way, we will attack the city.

The troops will definitely advance in one go. Once they arrive near the city gate, according to the attack angle of the slingers, they will not be able to threaten them. Once the city gate is breached, we will definitely be defeated..."

A drop of cold sweat slipped from his forehead. At that moment, under tremendous psychological pressure, Zhao Pan made a risky decision, "All the slingers obey the order! Shift the attack angle thirty degrees to the left, and focus the fire attack on me with all your strength."

City troops!!"
