This archery master of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not want to target the practitioners at all.
The second thunder has already sounded, followed by the third.
One after another, dazzling flames lit up the heavily armored soldiers of the Southern Dynasty.
When the collision of metal and metal produced sparks, the broken poisonous fragments were already scattered among the crowd.
Thousands of sergeants fell down, most of them were sergeants from the Southern Dynasty, but a few also included sergeants from the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Screams of anger and panic kept ringing out, but arrows like this kept coming.
There were two more shield-holding sergeants in front of Qi Zhuji.
These ordinary soldiers of the Southern Dynasties naturally felt that they wanted to protect the practitioners in the army.
But Qi Zhuji straightened his body. He looked over the heads of the two hunched-down Southern Dynasty sergeants, and quickly saw clearly the Northern Wei archer who did not deliberately hide his traces.
Two sharp piercing sounds sounded at the same time.
Two flying swords flew out with vortices visible to the naked eye, one coming from Xiao Suxin, and the other coming from a shadow behind Wang Chaozong.
The two flying swords intercepted the poisonous arrows that followed, causing these arrows to explode before landing on the top of the city wall.
More screaming fragments fell into the formation of Northern Wei soldiers attacking the city below.
The flying sword intercepted the arrow, which must be at the cost of more real energy. Feeling the real energy fluctuations on Xiao Suxin's body next to him, Qi Zhuji suddenly missed Lin Yi.
If it were Lin Yi, I'm afraid giving him an extra strong armor would be enough to deal with these arrows.
"Phosphorus! Sulfur!"
Although the arrows were stopped by two flying swords, the damage caused by the archer still made the Southern Dynasty sergeants on the city wall furious to an unimaginable level. Seeing those who fell down, they immediately lost their breath, and then continued.
The companion, whose skin had turned dark in color, shouted several angry orders almost at the same time.
The people of the Northern Wei Dynasty were no strangers to such military orders. Almost as soon as they heard these words, the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty who were originally expanding on the city wall like a tide suddenly stopped, and then instinctively squeezed back.
These Northern Wei sergeants who had previously appeared to be extremely brave were squeezing each other, even causing many Northern Wei sergeants who had just climbed to the top of the city to lose their footing and fall back.
But footsteps in the crowd can never compare to flying objects.
Dozens of pungent-smelling baggage were thrown from all directions, and before they could even reach the heads of the Northern Wei sergeants, they burst into flames, followed by a loud bang and countless streams of flames.
Countless miserable howls that could not be suppressed sounded at the same time.
Most of the Northern Wei sergeants on the city wall were set on fire. The raging flames stuck to their armor and they could not be shaken off at all. The skin and flesh inside the armor even made a sizzling sound like barbecue, and the smell of burning and sulfur was mixed with phosphorus.
The pungent smell spreads like a wave on the city walls.
It was like a huge bonfire was lit on the north wall of Zhongli City, and the dry firewood that made up this huge bonfire was a living Northern Wei sergeant.
A Northern Wei sergeant who was instantly distorted by the fire could not control the twitching of his body. He screamed and rushed in strange postures. Some rushed in front of the Southern Dynasty sergeants and were assassinated by the Southern Dynasty sergeants. Some fell off the city wall.
Falling into the water.
Xiao Su's heart trembled violently.
Her flying sword also trembled violently.
She could bear the previous killings, but she couldn't bear the sight of each and every living person being instantly burned into evil spirits crawling in magma.
But the Northern Wei archer still maintained a terrifying calmness.
A poisonous arrow passed through the dazzling fire and pierced a flagpole.
When the flagpole broke, broken poisonous arrows once again scattered among the crowd of soldiers from the Southern Dynasty.
More than a dozen Southern Dynasty soldiers fell down and died.
Xiao Suxin finally made the flying sword fly back. She bent over and vomited. At the same time, she heard the sound of the bodies of these Southern Dynasty soldiers hitting the ground and dying.
She covered her mouth and did not continue to vomit, but she almost cried.
But when she straightened her body and stood firm again, her flying sword and her hands no longer trembled.
At this moment, every immature young person like her is growing up and changing rapidly.
Qi Zhuji stretched out his hand to brush away the acrid black smoke that drifted in front of him. He took a deep breath. He looked at the several extremely loyal ordinary soldiers holding shields in front of him to protect him, and his eyes also filled with more usual emotions.
Emotions you won't have.
These ordinary sergeants may not be able to protect themselves, and they don't even know his true origin. But just because he is an important practitioner in the army at this time, these ordinary sergeants hold shields to cover his face as much as possible.
Body.
His expression slowly darkened for some reason, and he didn't even notice it.
The Northern Wei general wearing a round hat on the island closed his eyes for a moment when the fire was lit. Then he slowly opened his eyes. The corner of his right eye twitched more violently, but his expression did not change at all.
The course of the battle he commanded was doomed from the beginning. Those who died were the ordinary soldiers who charged into the battle, but what survived was the will of generals like them.
Even if he is dragged into endless hell by countless evil spirits after death, he will still endure it in order to win.
As long as he makes no mistakes, no matter how outstanding the Southern Dynasty generals in this city are, they will never win this battle.
"Are these northern barbarians crazy?"
As time went by, the breathing of the Southern Dynasty sergeant on the north wall became hotter and hotter, while his movements became slower and slower as his energy was consumed.
Looking at the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty who were still rushing forward regardless of their own safety while stepping on the charred corpses of their companions, a feeling of powerlessness gradually spread in their hearts.
Qi Zhuji took a look at the sky, hoping that the eastern sky would light up soon.
His body was covered in blood, and even his hair was dripping with blood.
As more and more soldiers from the Northern Wei Dynasty rushed to the city wall, he had to constantly take action to kill the enemies rushing in front of him.
Strictly speaking, the organizational scale of the armies of both sides is not large, and there are not many large-scale fixed ordnance on the north wall. This enemy army came from the water and did not bring many large ordnance with it. Moreover, the attacking force
The means and routes are very simple.
But precisely because of this, the battle was concentrated at the breach in the city wall directly opposite their pontoon bridge.
This Northern Wei army had left behind at least more than two thousand corpses, and the Southern Dynasty had also killed at least more than four hundred people. Half of the two thousand and hundreds of corpses were stacked under the city wall, and the other half were stacked just below.
Within a few dozen feet on the city wall.
So it's hard to imagine such a scene.
When some soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty rushed down, they would trip and fall, and they would often slide down with piles of corpses like a mudslide.
Dawn cannot end this bloody battle, but it at least means that a long time has passed and new reinforcements may arrive.
Of course, there may also be reinforcements from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and according to the way this army fights, the number of Northern Wei troops coming from the north may be astonishing.
But this is still the emotion that really appears in the minds of all the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty.
Everyone wants to take a break.
At this moment, the landslide of corpses like a mudslide became more severe.
At the edge of the city wall, metal reflections appeared under the starlight.
Some bodies that were larger than normal sergeants crossed the pile of corpses and appeared in the sight of all the Southern Dynasty sergeants on the city wall.
Qi Zhuji's breathing became a little difficult.
These are four pieces of Zhenyuan heavy armor, two of which are the typical Heavenly Wolf-Swallowing heavy armor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and two of which are slightly inferior to the Heavenly Ghost heavy armor of one level.
It was hard for him to imagine how four such heavy armors could reach here through the rickety and not very strong floating bridge, and then climb up again. However, the footsteps of these four true essence heavy armors were so real, reminding them all the time.
This is a cruel fact.
These four heavily armored figures walked forward with a steady pace, crushing many bones with each step, making a heart-breaking sound.
