The veterans of the main force on the city wall were expressionless, but many soldiers of the Wen Jie Army were shocked. They didn't expect to be able to shoot so far.
The Great Confucian Scholar looked at the landing point of the Pearl River Army's arrows. He then looked at the Pearl River Army and Fang Yun thoughtfully.
The Pearl River Army's arrows had a smaller landing point, but they were more concentrated.
The speed of the demon and barbarian army slowed down significantly, but they quickly accelerated and rushed to within five miles of the city wall.
Almost as soon as they reached the landing point of the arrows, the generals and officers gave orders. Their thunderous voices echoed throughout the city wall.
Before the generals and officers of the Pearl River Army gave their orders, Fang Yun's voice spread throughout the entire army.
"The first round of arrows will be fired together. After that, all archers will follow the drill and shoot in three rounds!"
The ten thousand crossbowmen didn't move, but the fifty thousand archers drew their bows.
They pulled the bows with their right hands and held the arrows with their left hands. Everyone wore leather gloves on their left hands. The arrowheads of the arrows were dyed with a layer of dark green poison.
"Fire!"
The generals and officers gave the order, and the entire army fired.
Five miles away, some of the demon and barbarian soldiers in front of the Pearl River Army suddenly raised their heads. They saw a rain of arrows in the sky like locusts.
The moment they saw the rain of arrows, all the demon and barbarian commanders snorted and rushed forward. The blood armor on their bodies could easily block arrows of this level.
The demon citizens and soldiers were very nervous. They desperately tried to dodge the arrows.
The demon and barbarian generals were different. Some of them were very cautious, while others didn't care at all.
A brown-furred demon general thought that he could dodge the arrows in the sky, but he suddenly realized that the arrows were so dense that he couldn't dodge them. He hesitated for a moment and decided to save some of the arrows. He didn't use demonic arts that would consume more blood energy to blow away the arrows. Instead, he let his body take a few of the arrows.
The demon general dodged many arrows, but three of them still landed on his body. They didn't hit any vital parts. The demon general was about to continue running when he heard three soft sounds.
Pfft pfft pfft …
Those were the sounds of arrows piercing through his blood energy, his skin, and his flesh.
The demon general was stunned. He couldn't believe that these seemingly ordinary arrows could hurt him. But in the next moment, he suddenly realized that these arrows didn't only have the power of the human race's battle poem, but they could also be the legendary demon slaying weapons.
Back then, Fang Yun's battle poem turned all the human race's weapons into demon slaying weapons that could last for several years.
"I have to be careful next time..." The Rat Demon General thought. Suddenly, he felt his legs go soft and he fell to the ground. He wanted to get up, but he realized that he had no strength in his body.
The rat demon general raised his head with all his strength and saw another rain of arrows falling. He realized that the rain of arrows in front of him seemed to be denser than the rain of arrows on his left and right. Then, he powerlessly closed his eyes.
Before he died, the rat demon general suddenly envied the Human Race. The Human Race had to learn a lot of methods before the battle, but the demon world would not teach the barbarians how to deal with the Human Race. Even if they taught, not many barbarians could learn it. Only the Ape Race, the Fox Race, and some other barbarian races would make sufficient preparations before the battle like the Human Race.
Arrows rained down and a large number of demons and barbarians fell to the ground.
After the first volley of arrows, the armies on the city wall either fired in unison or took turns to fire. But in reality, the archers of each army were shooting freely. Even with the command of the generals, many archers only shot their own arrows. They tried their best to pour their arrows outside the city wall to kill more demons and barbarians.
However, the Pearl River Army was different.
The corresponding soldiers only dared to shoot when the general ordered them to "shoot". Without orders, they would be severely punished. Some of the soldiers suffered a lot during the drill. The worst ones were even expelled from the Pearl River Army.
A great scholar's eyes moved as he stared at the Pearl River Army. He soon realized that the Pearl River Army had a strict but simple system!
First, the distance measuring scholars used a Lu Ban Ruler to measure wind speed, distance, and the speed of the demons and barbarians. After calculating, the results were reported to a Jinshi general.
Then, the general gave the order to shoot. The fifty thousand soldiers were divided into three groups to shoot.
Under the command of the general, the fifty thousand soldiers formed a perfect three volley of arrows. The arrows of the Pearl River Army flew out of the city wall continuously and landed among the demons and barbarians four li away.
However, there were definitely some small flaws in each group. These needed to be pointed out and adjusted so that the entire army's attack could be smoother.
The scholar at the front began to talk about strategy on paper and summoned the soldiers of the war.
Soon, a large number of soldiers of the war appeared between the city wall and the Literary Boundary soldiers. There were many of them and they were in a tight formation, filling up the empty space.
Half of these soldiers were armed with melee weapons and the other half with crossbows. Under the command of the scholar, the soldiers with crossbows would follow the rhythm of the general and fire three volleys of arrows.
Moreover, these soldiers would also fire in a cross pattern.
The soldiers of the war had a short attack range while the Literary Boundary soldiers had a long attack range. The two armies worked together to suppress the demons and barbarians in front of them with powerful firepower.
Fang Yun scanned the front from high up in the sky and shook his head lightly.
The art of war of the other generals was not weak, but there were many shortcomings in the details.
In such a stage where they were purely defending and using long-range shooting to kill, most of the art of war was useless. Therefore, only by studying the details could they kill the enemy to the greatest extent.
Then, the angle of shooting, the method of shooting, the timing, and so on were the most important.
Fang Yun knew that the scholars of the School of the Art of War were not useless. Most of them spent their time on war poems, military books, or the Divine Path. Very few of them would study specific combat methods that had no use for their own Divine Path or military books.
Fang Yun had not made a move yet, but the scholars of the other armies had tried their best to use war poems and military arts to strengthen their respective armies.
Looking from high up in the sky, the formation of the demons and barbarians outside the city had changed.
From the first to the twentieth city section, most of the demons and barbarians were killed at a distance of three to four li. They could not get within one li of the city wall. Even if there were a few Demon Commanders who made it to the city wall, they would be killed quickly.
From the twentieth city section onwards, many demons and barbarians approached the city wall. They were attacked fiercely by the soldiers from above and could not climb up.
The last fourteen city sections were the responsibility of the Literary Realm Army. Many of the demons and barbarians had already begun to climb up the city wall!
However, the city section defended by the Pearl River Army was almost the same as the first to twentieth city sections. It did not fit in with the Literary Realm Army.
Looking from the direction of the Barbarian City, the demons and barbarians formed a concave shape in front of the Literary Realm Army's city section. No matter how they charged, the demons and barbarians in front of the Pearl River Army could not break through the suppression of the rain of arrows.
Soon, the scholars of the other armies realized that the Pearl River Army was different.
The head of the Literary Realm Army contacted Fang Yun personally, hoping that Fang Yun would announce the specific training method and tactical system. He also said that once it was used by the human race, not only would the Pearl River Army be rewarded, but he would also be rewarded.
Fang Yun had been preparing for a long time. He directly copied the document in his Sea Swallowing Seashell and sent it to the other party.
Then, Fang Yun looked at the Qishan Army on the left.
The Marquis of Qishan, Gou Bao, was staring blankly at the demons and barbarians in front of the Pearl River Army.
