The Holy Dragon City warriors had a bad start. Before they could even get close to the city walls, they had already lost about fifteen thousand men. They had two hundred thousand men, but they couldn't afford such a loss. They had to change their strategy. They could either provide a stronger defense or rush in. That was because once they reached the city walls, the city-guarding crossbows would not be as powerful.
"What's going on? Didn't they say that they would work together?"
The commander of the Holy Dragon City army suddenly raised this question. Someone had clearly told him that they could work together from the inside and outside. As long as they started attacking, the people inside would automatically open the gates.
"Maybe they haven't found a chance yet. When we reach the city walls, someone will open the gates."
Hearing this, the deputy commander had no choice but to help them explain. It sounded reasonable. After all, it was too early to open the gates now. If they couldn't get through, the people inside would be treated as traitors and killed. Only when they reached the city walls and opened the gates could they really work together from the inside and outside.
The step of opening the gates was actually quite crucial. It would take a lot of effort if they relied on jumping onto the city walls or pushing them down. But once the gates were opened, it would be much easier to march in.
"Cannoneers, get ready to attack. Block the front."
The commander from the Holy Dragon City was not to be trifled with. After suffering a loss in the first round, he immediately changed his strategy. After all, they weren't stupid extraterrestrial demons. They wouldn't risk their lives to attack the city walls. They had brought weapons with them. There were a hundred Dragon Gate Cannons.
However, the Dragon Gate Cannons took a long time to activate. They needed the shield soldiers to cover them. Otherwise, they would be shot to death before they could fire.
The shield soldiers walked to the front and formed a goose formation. They knew that their shields might be pierced, but they had no choice but to do so. After all, they were a disciplined team, not a disorganized group or a motley crew.
It had to be said that this method was very effective. The shields of the shieldbearers overlapped each other tightly, blocking the front, sides, and top of the shieldbearers. Even if more arrows were fired, it wouldn't hurt the cannoneers at the back so easily.
By then, Draconis had given the order for the second batch of crossbowmen to get ready. Strangely, the second batch of crossbowmen had changed their arrows. It was a very strange kind of arrow.
Most crossbow bolts were about the same thickness from the front to the back, with a sharp tip. But this time, the crossbow bolt was thick at the front and thin at the back, like a big fish. At the end, where it was very thin, a lotus-like tail spread out. It felt like they weren't shooting arrows, but large metal fish.
This kind of big-headed fish-shaped crossbow bolt could not be fired far, and it did not have much penetrative power. Why did they change to this kind of thing?
The commander from the Holy Dragon City observed this scene from afar. He did not understand what the Holy Dragon City was doing. They must have run out of tricks. Weren't those spiraling crossbow bolts quite ferocious? Why didn't they continue using them?
Just as they were hesitating, a big-headed fish-shaped crossbow bolt was fired. The direction of the attack was not towards the enemy, but towards the air. What was the meaning of this? Why were they attacking the sky? Could it be that there were Extraterrestrial Demons attacking from the sky?
They had also heard that Du Feng had a special relationship with the leader of the Extraterrestrial Demons. In theory, the Summit City would not be attacked by the Extraterrestrial Demons. What was going on? Why was he attacking the sky?
Sh * t! The commander was the first to react. After all, he was someone who had experienced a large-scale war. This method of shooting arrows into the sky was specially used to break their shield formation. This was because the square shields could only defend the front and the top, but not the top and the back.
This kind of big-headed fish-shaped crossbow bolt was first fired into the sky, and then it fell rapidly. Moreover, it fell faster and faster.
Boom, boom, boom …
These big-headed fish-shaped crossbow bolts were especially heavy. The oval-shaped front was filled with a lot of sticky oil. This oil was specially made by Du Feng. It was ignited during the fall. Just as it fell above the enemy troops, it suddenly exploded.
This move was too vicious. Large amounts of sticky flames flowed like magma on the shields, heads, backs, and Dragon Gate Cannons.
This was the effect they wanted. Hurting people was a small matter. The main thing was to destroy the Dragon Gate Cannons. Because the Dragon Gate Cannons did too much damage to the city walls. If 100 Dragon Gate Cannons were to attack, even the Summit City would not be able to withstand it.
The defense formation that Du Feng and the rest had painstakingly set up would be severely damaged. After a few rounds, once the defense formation broke, the city walls would be the next to suffer.
Now that the Dragon Gate Cannon was damaged, although it was not completely destroyed, it could not be fired anymore. The magma-like sticky flames burned the barrel of the cannon until it was deformed. In addition, the solidified parts caused the Dragon Gate Cannon to lose its accuracy.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
The commander from the Holy Dragon City was hopping mad. He did not know what to do. The Dragon Gate Cannon that they were so proud of was destroyed just like that. Without this weapon, it would be difficult to destroy the city walls.
"Charge! All of you, charge!"
The only thing he could do now was to risk it all and quickly rush to the front of the city gate. As long as the spies inside opened the gates, they could charge in. Since they still had the advantage in numbers, it was a good opportunity to fight head-on.
Fools! Du Feng looked at the Holy Dragon City warriors charging at him and only had one word for them.
The first wave of crossbow bolts killed 15,000 people, and the second wave of explosions killed and injured 20,000 people. The remaining people were indeed more than the fighting force of the Peak City, but what use was that? These people thought that the spies could really open the gates for them. How could that happen?
Draconis ordered the crossbowmen to continue shooting. The strictly trained crossbowmen did not panic. They aimed at the most concentrated area and fired. What was interesting was that some of these crossbowmen were so-called spies. They were sent from the Holy Dragon City.
They had been trained by Draconis to be mechanized. Once they heard the order, they would execute it immediately. Even though they knew that it was the Holy Dragon City warriors charging at them, they could not help but aim and shoot.
If they did not shoot now, they would expose their identities. In order to cover their identities, they could only shoot down as if they were being attacked. After the third wave of arrows, another ten thousand people were killed.
Although they killed fewer people this time, their efficiency was still high. After all, it was not easy to hit moving targets. The Holy Dragon City warriors were decreasing rapidly. The commander's heart ached, but he had to charge now.
