The topography of Huangyu City is very unique, the city is built on a large slope, the west is high and the east is low, there is a section of north-south trending fault in the east of the city that runs through the whole territory, only the south of the city has an east-west road.

The north end of the fault starts with a high mountain, and the south end ends with a large river, connecting the east and west, and you have to make a long detour without taking the road south of the city.

The large army went around from the east to the west of Huangyu City, it would take at least three more days, and the Shaodian army could not wait that long, and after three days, the northern route army of his country would enter the northern county.

At present, 500 meters east of Huangyu City has been emptied, Qiao Meng has occupied all the villages and towns in the east, and invited the "nuclear bomb trio" to prepare to forcibly attack the city.

"There are more than 20,000 regular troops, 3,000 local troops, and more than 200 magicians in the city. At the end of last night, the general sent people to make a tentative sneak attack, and found that the defenders were very vigilant, and the long-range attacks at the head of the city were dense and intense, and there would be great losses in the normal siege of the city. Qiao Meng gave a brief introduction to the city's defense.

"Two hundred magicians!" Ding Kui glanced at Tan Shang, "It's a pity that there are still too few for us." ”

"The enemy's intention is to delay, and if they can't resist it, they will retreat, and the general thinks that they will not fight hard. Qiao Meng came to the front of Shuaitai and observed Huang Yucheng with a telescope.

The fault drop is more than 50 meters, and they can only look up at the city wall from the handsome platform of more than 20 meters.

"Well, the slope is quite large, more than forty-five degrees, and the cavalry charge is also very difficult, and the enemy does not need to dig traps, just bury floating boards.

The stakes were newly buried, the soil was noticeably darker, the location was reasonable, and the commander of the garrison was an experienced general. ”

Ding Kui did not rush to order the siege of the city, but was observing the fortifications arranged by the defenders.

"Is that black soil the point of the oil tank thrown by the trebuchet? three hundred meters away from the city wall. He pointed to a place in front of him.

Qiao Meng turned his head and replied: "Yes, the lethality of the defenders' bows and arrows can reach a distance of three hundred meters, and stones can be thrown four hundred meters away, and our long-range troops must be five hundred meters away to be safe." ”

"What do the infantry eat? During the attack, the crossbowmen advance to three hundred meters, and the infantry is responsible for covering. If there is no danger, is it a war?" Ding Kui found that the strong crossbow brought disadvantages.

Armed with strong crossbows, the troops are increasingly pursuing non-destructive combat, and have lost some of their courage to fight.

Qiao Meng sneered: "Yes, yes, the last general thinks too much, so let's arrange it!"

The Shaodian army began to attack the city!

The elite infantry marched horizontally towards the city wall in a horizontal line, clearing the obstacles on the battlefield.

Advancing until about three hundred meters, the crossbowmen on standby in the rear ran out in a neat line, and the infantry in front surrounded two open spaces.

The counterattack on the city walls was launched, because the distance was a bit far, and the bows and stones that flew down were so dense that the front-line infantry could easily block them.

Crossbowmen quickly filled the open space behind the infantry, forming an attack formation under the command of the officer.

Ding, bell, and occasionally bow and stone pierced through the infantry's defenses, hitting the crossbowmen's armor and bouncing off.

Whoosh, a dark red figure leapt into the air, holding a crimson sword.

The magicians in the city immediately calmed down, and one of the most ferocious characters of the enemy army came, and going out to attack the enemy army at this time would invite deadly revenge. They were supposed to strike to suppress the besieging ranged troops.

"Shieldmen, hoplites to protect archers and trebuchets, spears and slings ready, enemy infantry to fight me to the death!" the commander of the garrison observed, hiding behind a row of flags.

Qiao Meng put down his binoculars and ordered: "Five brigades will concentrate on attacking archers, and six brigades will attack trebuchets!"

The long-range units of the mixed 8th Division were very professional and were able to calculate the positions of archers and trebuchets based on the trajectory of the opponent's bows and stones, and the officers commanding the crossbowmen quickly locked on to their targets.

Crossbow arrows flew out like locusts and hit the wall at unexpected speeds for the defenders, and after the first rain of arrows, the archers suffered casualties even with infantry protecting them.

Unlike the previous cities, due to the terrain, crossbow arrows could not penetrate heavy armor and shields at this distance, and the casualties of the defenders were not large, all of them added up to less than two hundred.

"Fortunately, we are here, this is really a hard bone, and the strength of the 8th Division alone may not be able to attack it. Ding Kui's face was solemn.

The first wave of crossbow arrows caught the defenders off guard, and when they became familiar with the speed of the bolts, there would only be fewer casualties in the future.

However, with crossbowmen suppressing, the defenders' counterattack was greatly reduced, and the elite infantry could advance again, and this level of attack would not hurt them.

"Throw guns and slings, stop attacking! ”

The defender commander was forced to call a halt, and the two weapons needed to be exposed to the crossbowmen's field of vision, and the infantry had gaps in the protection that the local crossbowmen could use to accurately use the gaps to kill the users of the two weapons.

"Push the ballista up, aim at the second floor of the tower, and blast me!" Jomon found the commander of the defenders.

His troops set off late, and because of this, they obtained two ballistas, which was the first unit to obtain ballistas except for the Red Army.

The two ballistas fired in a volley, and the rockets that exploded on the left and right sides frightened the defending commander to run down the tower. Who knows how often the ballista fires, and if you go slower, you may be killed in a sea of fire.

In fact, he guessed correctly, the ballista fired more often than trebuchets, and the defenders did not have time to extinguish the flames, and new rockets burst out, and the two-story tower was finally set on fire, and before all the defenders could withdraw, the entire tower was burned into a giant torch.

The mixed 8th Division did not rush to storm the city wall, and continued to use crossbow arrows and ballistas to kill and wound the long-range troops in the city, and the infantry had advanced to the foot of the wall, and the excavation and ladder points against the falling rocks and golden soup were excavated.

The foot of the city wall is uneven, and it is also a slope with a large inclination, and the siege ladder cannot be erected, so it is necessary to dig a pit to provide a solid foundation for the siege ladder.

"Archers withdraw, reserve up for the city!" the commander of the garrison prepared to deal with the Shaodian army climbing the city wall.

"This is the time!"

Ding Kui in the air moved, and slashed a sword at the head of the city.

The magicians of their own country who had been waiting for a long time intercepted together, and suddenly burst into dazzling light.

More than two hundred mana were emitted, and the brightness was like a high-powered searchlight.

That sword was not intended to attack its own people, but was actually a signal to inform the Shaodian army to implement new tactics.

Ao Yu and Tan Shang moved first, and flew behind Ding Kui one after another, "Let's start!" Ding Kui turned around and said hello, and then put on a fighting posture with Ao Yu to stand in front of Tan Shang, Tan Shang raised his magic wand and prepared to ban the spell.

"Attack the Ninth Brigade! Set up a siege ladder for me as fast as possible. Jomon threw an arrow.

The nine brigades that were lying in ambush behind the battle flag rushed up, and the soldiers carrying the ladder spread their feet and ran hard, and the 500-meter slope was equivalent to a kilometer away, and it required more effort.

"Forbidden curse!" exclaimed the defending commander, "Stop him!" and shouted at Tan Shang, his voice hoarse.

The magician of his own country has taken off, now is the time to fight hard, if Tan Shang is allowed to release the forbidden spell, I don't know what kind of disaster will be.

"Just them?" Ding Kui smiled contemptuously, twisted his wrist, and the moon danced with a cloud of red light, completely covering Tan Shang's figure.

Ao Yu stood in the air with his arms folded on his chest, without the intention of making a move, and let Ding Kui intercept the magic alone, and the magicians of his own country were not enough to see.

"Rampant!" a cold cry exploded like thunder.

The same dark red figure flew out from the rear of the defenders, holding an iron-beaked eagle-headed gun and stepping on a double-headed bare-headed swallow, flying as fast as a meteor towards the "nuclear bomb trio".

Ao Yu's eyes lit up, and an excited expression appeared on his face, "It's good to come!" with a strange scream, he rushed towards the main knight who had been killed in his own army.

"Oh, it turned out to be prepared. Ding Kui raised his eyebrows, not too surprised.

It is no secret that there are three sixth-level combat power in his army, and his own country must have their information, and if he can deploy heavy troops in Huangyu City, he should be wary of the three of them.

At best, two hundred magicians can only deal with a sixth-level combat power, and their own country is not without a sixth-level combat power, so it is normal to send a master knight to contain them.

Suddenly, a trace of vigilance appeared in Ding Kui's heart, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and he seemed to hear a sharp wind in his ears.

Oh no, there's a sneak attack!

He reacted immediately.

After breaking through the speed of sound, his six senses also improved accordingly, especially his sensitivity to supersonic attacks.

Sure enough, a black dot was hidden in hundreds of magic spells and flew at high speed, which ordinary people could not see with the naked eye.

Ding Kui lost his voice and shouted, "Great Archer!" He could see clearly that the black dot was an arrow, condensed by the arrow qi of the Great Archer, and the target was his descendants.

"Made, it's vicious!"

It can be determined that there is a great archer hiding among the magicians of his own country, using the mage's cover to sneak up on him.

After a pause in the long sword, he stretched out his hand and flicked it, shooting out the Douqi Dragon between the sword lights, and then his body rushed forward abruptly, intercepting the magic while flying towards the magician of his own country.

"The magician rises into the air to protect Master Tan!" Qiao Meng also noticed the mutation in the sky, and immediately gave the order to the magician accompanying the army.

What he saw was the Juggernaut Knight, but he reacted half a beat slowly, and shouted out when Ding Kui rushed out.

However, this decision was very wise, and these magicians just made up for the gap left by Ding Kui's departure and strengthened the protection of Tan Shang.

Ao Yu fought with the dominant knight, and the opponent's spear was a little threatening, and he couldn't tell the winner for a while.

Ding Kui, who had no worries, accelerated again, and in a stunned gaze, he slashed into the crowd, raising his hand and slashing a black-robed magician with a sword.

Fast!

It was already difficult to lock Ding Kui with his spiritual power, and he still flew out of the speed at which he couldn't see his figure clearly, and the magic in the sky couldn't touch him at all.

"Spread out!" a dark shadow descended rapidly, and the longbow in his hand shot out eight black dots.

"Hmph!" Ding Kui rushed towards the crowded place with his sword, and at the same time pressed down with his left palm, "Dragon Kill!"

A fighting dragon drilled out from the palm of his hand, quickly caught up with the black shadow, and instantly drew the word "kill" in the air, aiming at the black shadow's chest and imprinting it.

This move is the fighting qi technique that Ding Kui is studying, called "Dragon Killing".
