Bed Crossbow, Catapult, Feathered Arrow, dense attacks enveloped the advancing "Chen Army".
"Puchi puchi..."
"Ah..."
Just one round of attack took away hundreds of lives.
An unlucky Xianzhen Guard Soldier was even skewered together with two Defectors behind him.
The Defectors suddenly panicked, wanted to retreat, but the Xianzhen Guard Soldiers among them directly drew their swords and slashed.
"We can't retreat, keep moving forward."
"Anyone who retreats will be executed."
The Defectors were forced to charge ahead, retreating would surely mean death, while advancing to the foot of the city walls might offer a chance of survival, as it was a dead angle for attacks, and Feathered Arrows couldn't reach there.
...
"He should be General Wei Liang Xuan, right?" From atop his warhorse at the rear, Chen Mo looked distantly at the elder on the tower gate, on whose forehead was the red number 1909.
Because he wasn't holding a weapon, Chen Mo couldn't temporarily see the attached Power.
But such things could be estimated, adding two hundred to him only made 2109, while he himself could reach as high as 2500.
The Power exceeded the opponent, which reassured Chen Mo quite a bit.
"That's right, he is General Wei Liang Xuan." Zhao Liang responded, surprisingly worrying for Chen Mo, thinking Chen Mo wasn't Liang Xuan's match.
As if sensing Zhao Liang's gaze, Chen Mo glanced at him lightly, his gaze growing more confident and calm, raised his hand, and said: "Keep advancing."
Soon, the second batch of Defectors, totaling three thousand, was pushed up by the Chen Army.
As the second batch of Defectors charged up for less than half a quarter, the third and fourth batches, totaling five thousand Defectors, were also forced to rush towards Wuguan.
A dark mass of troops like surging tides swept forward.
"Release."
"Release."
On Wuguan's city walls, the Huai Army Soldiers' hands were about to cramp from drawing the bowstrings.
Not everyone was Divine Archer, though these "enemy troops" weren't wearing Armor, not every arrow hit, an average of ten arrows hitting three was excellent.
Under successive impacts, some Defectors carried Cloud Ladders, arriving at the corner of Wuguan City, and set up ladder after ladder.
Meanwhile, Chen Mo at the rear drew the Tang Blade at his waist, shouting loudly: "All troops attack!"
"Dong dong dong..."
The battle drum, never stopping, beat more vigorously, deep and prolonged, filling listeners with energy.
All remaining Defectors "voluntarily" charged towards Wuguan.
These Defectors were Zhao Liang's troops, they could obey Zhao Liang's commands, different from the previous batches; though not armored, they held weapons and Round Shields.
Behind them, in order, were Wu Army's infantry, Navy soldiers, Xianzhen Guard, Divine Martial Guard.
The rear army formed by Divine Brave Guard, Brave Cavalry Guard, Fish Scale Guard, and Personal Guard Battalion had not yet moved, tasked with holding the formation from the rear.
"Release."
"Release."
In the Chen Army, the Catapults also activated, launching Pottery Bombs and Stone Bullets towards Wuguan, covering the entire army's siege.
Numerous Armored Siege Vehicles, shielded within Xianzhen Guard, advanced towards Wuguan.
"Raise Shields!"
Gazing at the incoming Feathered Arrows, Wen Heng and Wei Qing within the Xianzhen Guard shouted almost simultaneously.
Countless arm of Xianzhen Guard Armored Warriors raised Large Shields, slowly advancing, the Huai Army unleashed a volley of Feathered Arrows, penetrating through Large Shields and Armor Leaf into the bodies of Xianzhen Guard Soldiers, causing a halt in the full force charge.
But the previous charge had already consumed a large number of Huai Army's Feathered Arrows, plus Defectors had already charged to the foot of Wuguan City, climbing towards the walls via Cloud Ladders, diverting part of Huai Army's forces, the Chen Army's Pottery Bombs and Stone Bullets also applied great pressure on Huai Army.
This resulted in far fewer casualties for Xianzhen Guard compared to earlier Defectors.
Loud shouts echoed from the ranks of Xianzhen Guard and Divine Martial Guard.
"Mighty!!!"
"Mighty!!!"
Amidst the piling of Defectors' lives, Chen Mo's entire army rushed to the underside of Wuguan City, climbing towards the wall via Cloud Ladders.
In an instant, some Chen Army Soldiers ascended Wuguan's city walls, amidst the deafening shouts of battle, both armies engaged in close combat, the soldiers' chilling cries resounded, blood gushed forth, sharp Horizontal Sabers, Ring-Headed Sabers, Gun Blades, reaped the cheap lives of both armies.
The horn sounded urgently, the battle drum echoed throughout.
Various ranks and officers shouted forward, maintaining the nearly collapsing formations; brave warriors of Xianzhen Guard climbed the city wall then moved toward Liang Xuan on the tower gate.
But before reaching the tower gate, they were killed by Liang Xuan's Personal Soldiers.
The siege involving tens of thousands of troops was indeed brutal, meaning no one could remain unscathed, those behind would push you to the front line facing life and death.
Both armies fell into a fervor.
Huai Army Soldiers had things to protect, behind the city was their homeland.
Chen Army Soldiers sought promotion and wealth for a better life.
The two army Commanders had yet moved, they gazed at each other from a distance, their eyes stinging with cold.
In the rear army, seeing more and more people had ascended the city walls, Chen Mo immediately ordered the Catapults to stop firing, then turned his horse's head, looked at the army: "Soldiers, whether we take Wuguan hinges on this final effort..."
Speaking, Chen Mo drew the Tang Blade from his waist again, adjusted the horse head back, the blade tip pointing towards Wuguan, shouting: "Brave Cavalry Guard hold position, others, charge with me!"
"Charge."
"Kill!"
Chen Mo took the lead, swiftly reaching Huai Army's guard range, leapt forth, sprinted with full force, within moments, he was a hundred steps away from Wuguan's city wall alone with his blade.
The guards on the wall naturally noticed Chen Mo.
As a commander, one would wear conspicuous clothing or Armor to attract attention, allowing one's own Soldiers to quickly spot, reassure the morale upon sight.
The downside was clear, being too conspicuous, easily targeted.
Bed Crossbows redirected towards Chen Mo.
But at this moment, "Chen Army" had already climbed onto the walls and immediately disrupted them.
That's why Chen Mo delayed to join the battle.
If he had rushed earlier, his forces couldn't keep up, there would be no one to share the pressure, and facing Liang Xuan directly, it would be risky.
But now, with assistance from his troops, Chen Mo could ignore surrounding disruptions, charging directly at Liang Xuan.
"Whoosh..."
A Feathered Arrow shot fiercely towards Chen Mo.
This was fired by Liang Xuan.
As Chen Mo charged forward, Liang Xuan had aimed at him.
"Ding..."
However, Chen Mo noticed it too, with a crisp sound, he lifted the blade and deflected the incoming Feathered Arrow, the immense force slightly pushing him back, his wrist numbing slightly.
This sensation, hadn't occurred for a long time.
Chen Mo did not hesitate, blocking the Feathered Arrow, with two rebounds he arrived below the city wall, then leaped up, drawing the Tang Blade from his waist.
After a crisp sound, Chen Mo embedded the Tang Blade into the wall, with a vault, he reached the battlement above.
