Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 586 Offense and Defense
Daikin reinstalled!

First, it can significantly reduce the training costs of heavy-armed troops, especially heavy cavalry.

One can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of heavy armored troops, including defense, movement speed, and physical strength consumption. Special troops can also obtain double the effect.

The combination of the two is truly a powerful alliance, which established the Jin Kingdom's strong position in the first-level civilization. It is an existence that many first-level lords are unwilling and dare not face.

The same is true for Zhang Yan. Although the Song civilization is not bad, and it complements the spirit stone mines in her territory, it has not yet formed sufficient combat power. Facing the lord of the Jin civilization on the reputation rankings, the disadvantage is needless to say.

The divine archers, one of the two most powerful armies of Song civilization, could only be described in four words when facing the heavily armed troops of Jin civilization that were armed to the teeth - they were powerless.

So Zhang Yan lost her composure for a moment, but quickly came back to her senses and sent three types of military information directly to Xu Yang.

Special skill of the soldier: Iron Pagoda (When equipped with horse and centaur equipment, the charge speed increases by 50% and the charge force increases by 100%)

Introduction to the army: Iron Pagoda of Jin Dynasty. The famous general of Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Zongbing (Jin Wushu), led his personal army. A hundred generals were selected from various armies to serve as the generals. Both the men and horses were fully equipped and all wore heavy armor. They followed Jin Wushu in his campaigns and rarely suffered defeat.

"..."

Looking at the three types of military information sent by Zhang Yan, Xu Yang was silent.

Needless to say, the Guards are the regular main combat infantry of the Jin civilization. They have a physical strength attribute of up to 18 points, and are armed to the teeth with iron helmets and armor, iron swords and iron shields. In addition, they have skills such as strong body and strong attack, infantry combat and shield defense. They are an absolutely qualified heavy armored force, and are good at attacking cities and maintaining fronts.

The Emperor's Guard Army is an advanced version of the Imperial Guard Army, a distinctive force of the Jin Dynasty civilization. Not only does it have a physical attribute of up to 22 points, but its armament has also been fully upgraded. They are all equipped with refined iron armor exclusive to the Emperor's Guard Army, as well as steel knives, iron shields, strong bows and heavy arrows and other weapons.

In addition to the first-order level ten combat skills such as strong physical attack, archery and horse archery, and the special skill of "protecting the emperor", whether in attack or defense, long-range strike or mobility, this guarding army is the best of the first-order civilization troops and can compete with the second-order troops.

As for the last Iron Pagoda of the Jin Kingdom...

It can only be described in two words - horrible!
With a physical strength attribute of twenty-five points, fully upgraded armor, and combat skills such as strong body and strong attack that have broken through to the second level, coupled with master-level one-handed weapons and long-pole weapons, the elite level of this cavalry is even higher than that of the imperial guard army, and it is the most terrifying heavy cavalry of the Jin civilization.

Moreover, as a special type of soldier, he and the imperial guards can enjoy the double bonus of the "heavy armor" civilization skill. Not only does the defense increase by 40%, but the movement speed and physical consumption are also greatly increased and decreased. Although they are called heavy cavalry, they can actually be used as armored tanks.

This is the Jin Kingdom civilization. Among the first-level civilizations, it is not the strongest, but it is also the top one. In the hands of the ranking lords who have developed for a long time and have accumulated profound knowledge, it is even more terrifying. After all, the main factor restricting the development of this kind of civilization is capital. The longer the accumulation, the more capital there is, and the stronger the strength.

This is not...

Zhang Yan took a quick look and came to a conclusion: "There are at least four or five hundred people, more than two hundred foot guards, and more than two hundred cavalry, half of which are lightly armed archers and crooked horses, and the other half are heavily armed guards and iron pagodas."

"An army of four to five hundred men must either be led by the enemy lord himself or by multiple heroic commanders!"

"More than a hundred special forces, including the Guards and Iron Pagodas with terrifying defensive power. Is this the strength of the 9,000th-ranked troops on the reputation rankings?"

"Damn!!!"

Looking at the heavily armed troops assembled under the city, Zhang Yan could no longer control herself and punched the wall hard, which frightened Feng Chengdu who was standing by.

Xu Yang's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "The cavalry cannot attack the city on horseback. As long as we ensure that the city walls are not taken away, we can use the city's defense advantage to consume it, and then we can counterattack after a certain degree of attack."

"Fight back?"

Zhang Yan turned around and looked at him, looking a little surprised, but soon regained her composure and said in a deep voice, "Okay!"

At this point, she has no choice but to put her entire fortune on the line. No matter how strong her opponent is, she will fight with all her might.

at the same time……

"Rare territory?"

"It's well worth coming!"

Under the city wall, in the army formation, a Jin general stood on his horse, looking at the tall city wall and tight defense in front of him. Instead of worrying, he smiled and started to mobilize the troops directly.

"Build siege engines now!"

"Guards, do it for a while!"

"Iron Pagoda, form the second formation!"

"Knapsack, guards, shoot and cover!"

The order was conveyed and the entire army was mobilized. More than two hundred heavily armed guards, escorting ladders, battering rams and other siege equipment, moved forward, and more than fifty dismounted Iron Pagodas followed closely behind.

Behind the infantry, more than one hundred archers and more than fifty guards who had not dismounted from their horses formed a battle formation, drew their bows and shot arrows at the city walls to suppress the enemy archers and protect their own troops.

At the end of the team, there was a position where a dozen soldiers who looked like civilians were using catapults under the supervision of a hero to bombard the towers on the city walls with stones.

"They even brought a trebuchet. They really came prepared."

Zhang Yan gritted her teeth, raised her sword and shouted, "Hit me!"

The military order was given and a counterattack was launched. The infantry moved boulders and wooden beams and smashed them down, and the archers also shot down through the firing line.

Apart from special troops, the infantry of the Song civilization can only be said to be average, far less powerful than the guards of the Jin civilization. However, they are also satisfactory for defending the city, and a rolling stone or a wooden log can cause some damage.

On the other hand, archers and crossbow shooters are the strong points of Song civilization. Whether it is a regular God Arm Archer or a special enemy-killing Archer, they all have considerable or even powerful output capabilities. However, the opponent this time is the Jin Kingdom, a heavily armed force.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

Arrows rained down and sparks flew everywhere. The guards held their shields on top of their heads to resist the falling rocks and logs. Needless to say, the arrows were even more severe. Except for a few that hit the gaps in the armor, the rest were all blocked by the shields and armor and did no harm at all.

Only the ten tall towers could fire heavy crossbow arrows to penetrate the iron armor and shields and effectively kill these heavy infantry.

But with only ten towers and the slow firing speed of the crossbows, they were somewhat powerless against the large number of guards.

"Use kerosene!"

Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed, and she immediately ordered to change to kerosene.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Cans of kerosene were thrown down, drenching the infantrymen under the city. Then torches, rockets and other objects fell, turning the city walls into a sea of ​​fire in an instant. Several guards were also transformed into human torches.

But that was the end of it. As a powerful material for defending the city, kerosene was extremely expensive. Even a wealthy woman like Zhang Yan did not have too much in stock, and was unable to destroy all the enemies in a sea of ​​fire.

The other side did not allow Zhang Yan to set fire. Arrows rained down and landed on the city walls, causing great damage to the soldiers defending the city, especially the eagle-shooting arrows of the imperial guards. Except for the side-armored soldiers equipped with shields and the Beiwei soldiers with heavy armor, all other soldiers were killed instantly by one arrow.

The enemy had not yet climbed onto the city wall, but our troops had already suffered serious casualties. Zhang Yan gritted her teeth and turned to look at Xu Yang.

"boom!!!"

As soon as he turned his eyes, he saw Xu Yang drawing his bow and arrow, which pierced through the clouds and directly shot a guard who was climbing the ladder to the ground.

After using the Wushuang Order, his strong bow skill reached the second level. Coupled with the iron-framed bow with twenty wounds and the general arrows with ten wounds in his hands, the power of his shooting was difficult for even the guards with iron armor and steel shields to resist. Even if they didn't find an opportunity to attack, they could penetrate armor and souls, comparable to a tower using a crossbow.

But his shooting speed was much faster than that of the tower. His arrows shot down like lightning. In just a few moments, more than ten guards were killed by the arrows, effectively curbing the enemy's offensive.

"Ok?"

"hero?"

Seeing this scene, the commander of the Jin army stared at him and immediately shouted, "Tiemu!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a general dressed in the same attire as the imperial guards rode out on his horse and rushed towards the city wall aggressively. He drew his bow and arrow along the way. Three rays of cold light shot out and headed straight for Xu Yang on the city wall.

"Be careful!!!"

Zhang Yan's pupils shrank and she screamed in surprise, but it was too late. Before she could finish her words, the arrow had already hit her.

however……

Xu Yang twisted his head and turned his waist, and managed to dodge in an instant. The three arrows were very dangerous, but in the end they still passed by him.

Three arrows were fired in succession, but not only did they miss the target, the enemy suddenly stood up and the full moon arrow on the bow shot through the sky.

"!!!!!!"

Under the city wall, the young Jin general's pupils shrank, and he pulled the reins with his hands and dodged, trying to avoid the arrow like the enemy.

But he didn't expect that the opponent seemed to have foresight and shot three arrows in succession, shooting at his evasive trajectory, leaving him no time to dodge or avoid. Before he knew it, the arrow had pierced his eyes, and both he and his horse fell.

"Ehh!!!"

"boom!!!"

The warhorse fell over, and the body fell to the ground. The young general of the Jin State was pierced in the eye by an arrow. He fell to the ground and before he could even utter a cry, several cold rays of light shot down, hitting his eyes, face, mouth and nose, and nailing him to the ground.

“Ironwood!!!”

Suddenly, a cry of pain resounded throughout the battlefield. The Jin commander's eyes were bloodshot and he immediately issued a deployment order: "Fire in unison, archers fire in unison, the Imperial Guards Iron Pagoda advance at full speed, don't give that man any room to maneuver."

"Bang bang bang bang!"

As soon as the military order was given, arrows flew like rain. Dozens of soldiers guarding the emperor shot at the same time. The arrows densely covered the top of the city wall and pressed down on Xu Yang, causing a violent noise.

Xu Yang had anticipated this, and he simply flipped over the wall to avoid the attack while also taking the time to take a look at the battle record.

"A fatal blow!"

"You killed the enemy hero - Wanyan Tiemu!"

"You gain 20000 experience points and 50 reputation points."

"You gain 10 points of permanent Wushuang value and 100 points of temporary Wushuang value (storable for up to twelve hours)"

"..."

There is a saying that goes, it is better to catch accurately than to shoot accurately.

Although he was an expert in bows and arrows, and started out with bows and arrows in his first life in Dream Wandering in the Heavens, but without the attachment of true energy and the blessing of characteristics, it was still unrealistic to shoot a target with heavy armor hundreds of meters away with just technical operations.

But it was different when the opponent was closer. He couldn't react in time when the distance was close. In addition, he was a little cautious at the beginning, and then he launched a sudden attack unexpectedly. The young Jin general didn't have time to react and became his death under his arrow.

pity……

"kill!!!"

The heavy infantry climbed up the city wall and started the most brutal battle for the city gate. The Song soldiers defending the city had to give up rolling stones and wooden planks and draw their weapons to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy troops.

Faced with heavy infantry like the Imperial Guards and the Iron Pagodas mixed in among them, the Song Dynasty's troops were really powerless. Except for the gaps blocked by a few Yue family Beiwei armored soldiers, other places showed signs of being breached.

The city wall was a hundred meters wide. The enemy had built seven ladders, and excluding the destroyed ones, there were a total of five ladders on top of the wall, which meant there were five gaps that needed to be filled.

There were five bloody battles and the city was on the verge of collapse everywhere. The Iron Pagoda mixed in with the guards was rampant and killed the Song soldiers defending the city, forcing them to retreat step by step. They could only hold out for a while thanks to the pressure of numbers and the blood and flesh siege.

But it can only hold out for a while. If things continue like this, the capture of the city is inevitable.

"Xu Yang!!!"

Zhang Yan didn't dare to take part in such a fierce battle, so she had to retreat to the back and look at Xu Yang.

Not only her, but Feng Cheng and a group of lords are the same.

Take money from others, help them get rid of disasters, and then it depends on your performance...

"Ehh!!!"

Before I could come to terms with my thoughts, I was interrupted by a horse neighing like a dragon, and the sound of red charcoal fire appeared.

　It's the same shitty thing from yesterday that I only finished today. I'm so exhausted. Let me update once a day and I'll update three times tomorrow.
