Compared with the bravery of the men of sacrifice on the ladder, the Beimang archers in the giant towers outside the city caused significant damage to the defenders of Tiger Head City. Compared with the Beimang soldiers who had to pay the price of less heavy armor in order to climb up the city quickly, the Beiliang Frontier Army's armors were tougher and sturdier. Earlier, the archers of the Beimang's two flanks and the archers behind the shield soldiers seemed to be dense, but they could not cause any real damage unless they hit the vital parts. However, the Beimang's arrows could almost be called a face-to-face, close-range shooting, especially when they were all excellent archers. One by one, the defenders of Tiger Head City had their throats and eyes pierced through. Many Beiliang soldiers even had their armors pierced through on the spot.
The ladders in the infantry phalanx were constantly placed on top of the city wall. After more than a thousand light-armored men of sacrifice opened a path for the rear to buy time, Beimang would not give Tiger Head City any chance to breathe. Soon, the strong men of Beimang wearing iron helmets and chain armor began to climb up the tower. If the first batch of men of sacrifice were all agile Beimang infantry, then this batch of strong men of sacrifice could be said to be comparable to the heavy infantry of the Central Plains who had almost destroyed the cavalry in history if they put on real heavy armor.
When these strong men climbed up the city wall, even if the arrows shot down from the top of the city wall were close at hand, they only paused for a moment with their shields raised. Occasionally, a powerful Beiliang archer would shoot an arrow through the shield and the sharp arrowhead directly into the arm, but they would never flinch. In the deafening sound of fighting, a Beimang man climbing up the tower had four or five arrows nailed into the shield on top of his head. He was in the prime of his life, a man from a small tribe on the northern grassland. For him, there was no royal court or Aquarius State. This time, he followed the army to the south only because he wanted to accumulate enough military merits before winter this year so that his son, who was growing up, could have enough meat to eat and be promoted by one level with him. He hoped that his son could walk out of the unpredictable grassland in the future and have a chance to go to the Central Plains of Liyang on his behalf. As for himself, he did not expect to leave the battlefield alive. This Tiger Head City was too hard to shake, which was very different from the rumors when he joined the army. However, he was not annoyed because he was deceived. Even if he died in the battle, the pension would be enough for his son to grow up and let his son grow into a grassland man who was not inferior to him.
Out of the corner of his eye, the strong man wearing iron armor and a shield on top of his head saw that a tower opposite the city wall was heavily smashed down by a baton. The tower shook violently and the top of the tower was smashed into pieces. More than a dozen master archers were killed on the spot and merged into the tower like meat paste. He breathed heavily, gritted his teeth, and continued to climb up. Then, he left the ladder in an instant. Not only him, but three or four strong men behind him also met the same fate. His heart immediately turned to ashes. Immediately afterwards, he and several other Beimang strong men's backs smashed into the city wall near the ladder at almost the same time. They were like a bunch of pitiful grasshoppers that were strung up by ropes. The man who fell until he was completely dizzy held his shield tightly, raising his arm to block above his head. Sure enough, immediately afterwards, there were light crossbows that shot down from above the city wall. He who temporarily escaped this disaster knew that the true danger was still to come. Their group had their armors hooked by Beiliang's Flying Owls. This type of weapon used specifically to deal with Great Mang's strong men was a seven zhang long iron chain. There were sharp flying hooks nailed to the iron chain every three feet. Once the ladder armored soldiers were hooked, they wouldn't be able to control themselves, quickly being dragged up. What welcomed them were spears one after another. He had personally seen many strong men die miserably under these Flying Owls. If he hurriedly removed his armor at this time, trying to escape by jumping off the city wall, it wouldn't be realistic at all. He who was suspended at the very top of the iron chain lowered his head, roaring angrily, "Hold the warblade tightly!"
This iron chain Flying Owl was pulled back by several Beiliang soldiers. The four Beimang strong men's iron armor grinded against the walls, releasing chi chi noises. Out of the four of them, he was the first to "climb up" to the top of the city wall. His mind was blank. He instinctively turned around and faced the top of the city wall. After he was pulled out of the city wall, he held his shield in front of him. Instantly, his shield was hit by a spear and smashed into his chest. However, when he tried to swing his saber randomly, a Northern Liang guard on the city wall wielding a strange straight saber smashed into his head. Blood splattered everywhere, and he died on the spot. As for the three strong men who were dragged onto the city wall after his death, they either died under this type of axe or spear. Their corpses were removed from the Flying Owl and then casually pushed off the city wall. Then, that Flying Owl was flung off the city wall again.
On Tiger Head City's battlefront, one side was like ants, the other side was like ants, both sides' lives truly were like ants.
Hsu Fengnian who was deep in enemy territory continued forward, unstoppable like a hot knife through butter.
He swept through everything before him, no one able to withstand a single blow. However, Hsu Fengnian could clearly feel a few balls of dense energy following him. These people were undoubtedly Beimang martial path experts who were waiting for a chance to strike. Most of them were at Master Realm. Further away, two hundred steps away, there were two top experts, one King Kong and one Xuan Zhi. Hsu Fengnian continued forward in a straight line, killing people without any fancy movements. He mostly used the Burst and Arc Spear Techniques of the Four Word Formula that Spear Immortal King had comprehended. Especially the Arc Spear Technique, it was wide open and was best suited for chaotic battles. Wherever the Arc Spear Technique was used, the Burst Word Formula energy would be mixed in. Within twenty feet of Hsu Fengnian, no one survived.
However, Hsu Fengnian didn't feel proud at all. Instead, his heart became heavier and heavier. He headed straight for Dong Zhuo's flag. Everyone knew that the only people who could stop him were those martial path experts. Normal soldiers were useless. However, the Beimang infantry formations pushed forward without any hesitation. If they were unlucky enough to meet him, they would die.
