The fierce and numerous murlocs, who are not afraid of death, are still climbing up the city in a steady stream.
What's even more terrifying is that when they arrived at the foot of the city wall, the three-headed tide monsters that looked like giant slimes actually merged together, and in an instant, they formed a fleshy slope leading to the city head.
The water elemental standing on the tide monster took the opportunity to spit at the city head.
"???"
The saliva turned into sharp arrows and sprayed into the faces of the defenders.
"Ah~~~"
The soldiers immediately screamed, and their faces turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's actually poisonous!
The surrounding city defenders subconsciously tried to avoid it, but the Kraken warriors took the opportunity to quickly climb up the ten-meter-wide slope and rush straight to the top of the city.
"Is this okay?"
Facing the strange and bizarre siege methods of the Sea Clan, the defenders who had not yet recovered from the attack by the octopus monster were complaining in their hearts.
You don't play your cards according to the routine at all.
"catapult!"
The defenders tried to throw stones at the Tide Monster, but found that the Tide Monster's skin hardened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its color gradually changed from black to grayish white.
It seems as if it has really turned into a stone ramp.
No matter whether it is a giant or an arrow, there is no reaction when it falls on the tide monster.
It's like dying.
"What can I do?"
The defenders suddenly became helpless.
The Kraken warriors are also special chicken thieves. Each one holds a shell-shaped shield and marches slowly in a queue. When they board the city, they use the shield to surround them airtight to prevent attacks from the crossbowmen at the top of the city.
The city defenders could only stand in a row and face the Siren warriors who climbed to the top of the city.
The two sides fought hand to hand.
"kill!"
The ten-meter distance between the ramp and the city head turned into the most brutal killing field.
The Kraken warriors rushed up desperately, trying to open a gap in the enemy's defense, gain a foothold at the top of the city, and gain more space to allow subsequent Kraken warriors to rush up.
The soldiers who defended the city tried their best to kill the sea monster that had climbed onto the city wall.
In order to stabilize their position, brothers Tu Hong and Tu Gang had to fight on the front line themselves, and the siege battle also entered the most brutal meat grinder stage.
But the situation has become increasingly unfavorable for the defensive side.
Most of the warriors participating in the defense of the city were new recruits who had just transferred professions, and they were only at the first level of strength. Faced with the ferocious second-level siren warriors, they were gradually at a disadvantage.
Casualties also continue to increase.
Even with powerful generals like Tu Hong and Tu Gang standing in front, the line of defense is already in danger.
At the same time, the Kraken attracted too much attention of the defenders, causing more murlocs to take the opportunity to board the city wall. Although the lethality was insufficient, it caused huge casualties to the civilians.
It also disrupted the attacking rhythm of the defenders.
The originally orderly city was now in chaos and full of loopholes.
The fish-men with chicken thieves are already trying to sneak down the stairs and open the city gate. Once the city gate is opened, the thousand Naga warriors outside the city are bound to enter and kill them.
The consequences are disastrous.
Fortunately, Yue Fei discovered the loophole in time and arranged for a team of soldiers to guard the stairs. The weakness of generals like Tu Hong and Tu Gang who like to personally kill the enemy was clearly revealed at this moment.
There is more than enough courage, but not enough perspective on the overall situation.
A true general should be a calm commander, not just a warrior.
"Send the order to kill Hong, take the initiative to lead your troops to retreat, and let the enemy troops come up!"
Yue Fei still looked determined, like a chess player, adjusting his strategy in a timely manner according to the battlefield situation, and at the same time ordered Zhang Liao to come with the last two battalions for reinforcements.
At this point, he no longer has any reserve team in hand.
Originally planned.
Zhang Liao's troops were used to take the initiative to rush out of the city and defeat the enemy's last vestige of confidence.
Now we can only change our strategy.
At the same time, Yue Fei also sent two flying cavalry out from other city gates to send orders to Xu Chu's troops who were ambushing outside the city to be ready to attack at any time.
Once the war goes against you, you must take the initiative.
As the commander-in-chief, Yue Fei's first priority task is to ensure that Chang'an is not lost and that this battle is undefeated. Whether or not the enemy army can be completely annihilated can only be ranked as a second priority.
"withdraw!"
After receiving the order, Tu Hong did not understand it, but he still carried it out resolutely.
Lead your troops to fight and retreat.
Different from attacking, retreat is an art, and one improper operation may lead to a rout. Fortunately, we have rich experience in fighting Tuhong, and we finally managed to stabilize the front line.
“Jie Jie!!!”
The enemy took the initiative to retreat. In the eyes of the Kraken warriors who had already gained the upper hand, it was a sign that the enemy was incapacitated. Each of them became more excited, holding steel forks, and swarmed to the top of the city like a tide.
Why do we need to attack the city gate when we siege a city?
In addition to the city gate being the weakest defense point of the city wall, the wall near the city gate is wider and thicker. Once you reach the top of the city, you will have enough room for movement.
The ordinary section of the city wall is only four to five meters thick, but it is two to three meters thick near the city gate.
The surrounding area of the main tower is more than 100 meters wide.
The purpose is to allow the defenders to have enough people on the defensive side and hoard enough supplies to defend the city.
But it also gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Thousands of Siren warriors have boarded the city, and are still expanding their scope of activities. In order to participate wholeheartedly in attacking and killing the enemy, they can only throw away their shields.
And this throw gave the city defenders an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Fire the arrow!"
Under the personal control of Yue Fei, all the crossbowmen hid in the surrounding arrow towers and sentry towers. In addition to shooting the murlocs attached to the city wall, they were also responsible for attacking the sea monsters that had boarded the city.
Without shield protection, the Kraken warriors also had to face the baptism of arrow rain.
Casualties are increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In this battle to defend the city, as many as seven battalions of crossbowmen were the absolute main force in defending the city. The original plan was to cause maximum damage to the Hai Clan army.
Unexpectedly, the Sea Clan's strange siege method severely restricted the performance of the crossbowmen.
Yue Fei could only choose to retreat in order to advance. He artificially created a huge pocket at the top of the city, put the Kraken army into the pocket, and gave the crossbowmen a chance to perform.
Otherwise it would be a serious waste of combat power.
As for the defender, while taking the initiative to retreat, they finally no longer have to huddle together. They can allocate part of their troops to clear out the fishmen who have boarded the city and re-stabilize the entire defense line.
Under Yue Fei's combing, the chaotic situation just now is being reversed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is why famous generals are famous generals.
Yue Fei just tried his best to stabilize the precarious battle situation in one fell swoop.
"sharp!"
In the chaotic army formation, Tu Hong, who noticed the changes in the situation, couldn't help but admire Yue Fei's ability to command and dispatch.
Ask yourself how far apart it is!
Thinking back to the previous chaos, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Don't worry, keep rushing!"
The Kraken leader leading the team now has two choices: either order to pick up the shield again, which will weaken the attack power, or continue to charge regardless of everything, in the hope of expanding the results.
The leader of the Kraken chose the latter.
Determined to sacrifice some casualties in exchange for complete occupation of the city.
"Everyone is here, prepare to attack!"
Shan Luo, who was watching the battle from a distance, also noticed the changes in the battle situation and realized that this siege battle had reached the most critical moment, and the victory or defeat could be decided in an instant.
Always be ready to use the last and biggest hole card to deal a fatal blow to Chang'an.
"yes!"
Prince Diga was excited and subconsciously licked his lips.
His eyes were full of violence.
Damn the human race, it’s time to pay back a hundredfold for the shame it brought him.
"Hold on!"
Facing the ferocious attack of the Kraken, the Tu Hong brothers led their troops to retreat again and again, all the way to the stairs.
There is no way back.
Once the stairway is lost, the Hai Clan army can descend from the top of the city and directly enter the city.
The city gate will also be lost.
Although the Tu Hong brothers continued to boost morale and even took the lead, the defenders, who were mainly new soldiers, were still in decline even with the timely reinforcements from Zhang Liao's troops.
Don't forget, although Zhang Liao's troops who came to help are fresh troops, they are also new soldiers.
on the contrary.
Seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, the siren army went crazy and killed everyone with red eyes.
"kill!"
The Kraken warriors launched a fierce attack at all costs, regardless of the casualties of their clansmen.
Seeing this, Yue Fei's expression could not help but become serious, and he was about to use his last trump card to let Xu Chu's tribe ambushing outside the city launch an attack in advance to attack the Hai Clan central army.
Come and attack Wei to save Zhao.
But at this moment.
Tang Jing, who suddenly disappeared before, reappeared at the top of the city...
