    After these few days of rectification, Qu Mengsheng, with the help of Ling Tian and Mei Zhan, cleared out a group of officials who were dissatisfied with him, replaced them with a group of trustworthy officials, and finally temporarily took control of the empire.  At this time, Tyranny's army outside Jialing Pass finally launched an attack.  Without further ado, the first thing Mei Zhan did after his reinstatement was to lead the 500,000 troops outside the imperial capital to support him.  The reason why we came here to call on Chongzhong was simply to prevent Tyranny from sending strong men to attack the pass.  Nowadays, there is only one person in France who has the strength comparable to that of a semi-saint.  Sometimes, it feels very strange. Why are there so few strong people in such a majestic empire?  Jialing Pass, the heavy hawk-like eyes narrowed to a slit, standing on the city wall at the pass.  Next to him were Father Mei and the commander of the Zhanxue Secret Guard, Wei Dong.  After the army reorganized and set out, the three of them rushed to the gate at full speed and commanded the soldiers guarding the gate to resist Tyranny's attack.  The 500,000-strong army and 5,000 secret guards, commanded by Xiao Zheng and Tetsuo, followed.  In front of Jialing Pass, corpses are scattered all over the field, blood is everywhere, and the mutilated limbs are everywhere.  "In just four days, half of the 200,000 defenders were lost!" Mei Zhan said with cold eyes and a deep tone.  "Fortunately, we are not late. As long as we can resist for two days, the follow-up reinforcements will arrive." Wei Dong also said solemnly.  "Okay, we will guard him for two days. I want to see if Tyranny is really that powerful now!" Mei Zhan sneered and looked at Shen Sheng, "Little Wolf, you will stay with me from now on.  , learn about combat command, and feel the atmosphere on the battlefield when the opponent is attacking. " "Yes, I understand! " When I was in the Aren Valley realm, my father also taught him a lot of knowledge.  Military knowledge.  But after all, those things have never experienced actual combat and are completely just words on paper.  Now that he has such an opportunity, of course he won't miss it.  You know, Mei Zhanmei's father is an iron-blooded general who is said to be victorious in every battle.  It was just after noon, and Tyranny's army was resting and recuperating after passing the previous victory.  The troops on Guan Flan's side were also busy repairing the city wall and replenishing the consumed arrows during their free time.  Although Shen Shen had never really experienced a war, just from the corpses scattered all over the place in front of the pass, one could see the brutality of the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides.  Two hours later, groups of soldiers from Tyranny¡¯s military camp were ready to attack the city.  I saw a total of ten square formations coming out of the military camp. Each square formation had a thousand people, which was the so-called thousand-man team. Ten square formations equaled ten thousand people, which was a ten thousand-man team.  In front of this 10,000-strong army are soldiers wearing heavy armor. Each of them is a tall and powerful man, each holding an iron shield as high as a person in his hand.  Behind them were rows of light infantry wearing leather armor and holding steel knives. They were not holding weapons but ten-pound cloth bags, each of them carrying several.  Tyranny's military camp is only about three miles away from the Guan Wall. In the open space between the military camp and the Guan Wall, all the original trees have been cut down. From a high position, one can clearly see the opponent's every move.  The team of 10,000 people was integrated and set off, and four more teams of 10,000 people came out one after another. These teams of 10,000 people were of different types including steel armor, leather armor, steel knives, and bows and arrows.  In the square formation, there were also dozens of towering arrow towers and hundreds of ladders.  "Every time, 50,000 people are dispatched. They want to take advantage of their strength to fight against us!" Mei Zhan said solemnly as he watched the enemy dispatch troops.  "Yes! According to what the general who defended the city said before, in four days, the opponent will launch such an offensive twice every day, once in the morning and once in the evening. We will lose more than 20,000 soldiers every day, which means more than 100,000 soldiers in four days.  Of the less than 100,000 people left, there are still more than 10,000 wounded. Under such circumstances, they may launch a real general attack after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!" Wei Dong said.  Tyranny's first wave of 10,000 people, the leading heavy-armored soldiers, began to approach the wall at a slow pace. Their task was very simple, which was to use the giant shields in their hands to resist the arrows fired by the wall, and then protect their companions behind them and kill them.  The cloth bag was thrown into the trench 500 meters away from the wall to provide convenience for the siege troops who came up later.  One thousand meterseight hundred meterssix hundred meters The heavy weight of the armor caused the heavy armored soldiers carrying giant shields in front to move very slowly one by one in order to save their energy.  When the opponent was only 600 meters away from the Guan Wall, Wei Dong gave an order, and hundreds of giant crossbows on the Guan Wall stirred their bowstrings.  Behind those giant crossbows, four rows of archers stood still and stood ready.  "Giant crossbow, release!" The opponent's phalanx continued to approach, and the distance soon reached 500 meters. Before reaching the first trench outside the wall, Wei DongThe order was given, and instantly there was the sound of a crossbow arrow leaving its string.  Moments later, thuds and screams were heard in the distance.  Mei Zhan was standing next to Shen Zhong at this moment. When the first wave of crossbow arrows were fired, he heard him explain: "The range of this kind of giant crossbow is about more than a thousand meters, but at such a distance, the crossbow arrows have lost their power and strength, and the effect is  It will weaken. Therefore, it is usually launched when the enemy is close to about 700 meters, but the enemy in front is a heavily armored soldier, and he is holding a giant shield. This can only shorten the distance again to achieve maximum lethality!"  Just when Mei Zhan was telling Zhong Zhong about the giant crossbow, the giant crossbow had been loaded with crossbow arrows again, and was fired again under Wei Dong's order.  Mei Zhan continued: "Don't underestimate this giant crossbow. Hundreds of them are placed here for defense. On the one hand, they can cause great damage to the opponent's siege troops. On the other hand, they can defend against the opponent's strong men.  Regardless of your current level of strength, if you are attacked by these giant crossbows, it will be too much for you. If you don't pay attention, you may be seriously injured or even die." He nodded with a heavy understanding and fired the first batch of crossbow arrows just now.  In an instant, he felt the power of the crossbow.  It reminded him of the time when the warriors led by Han Zhi used giant crossbows to attack when facing the Wolf King's group of monsters.  "It seems that no matter how strong a person is, if he really faces a well-trained army, it will be difficult to resist! This giant crossbow alone will give people a headache." Such thoughts in Zhong's heart  With his eyes open, his eyes were always fixed on the Tyranny army ahead.  Tyranny¡¯s heavily armored soldiers, after being partially wounded by the giant crossbows on the wall, finally erected their giant shields solidly.  The light infantry following them quickly threw the cloth bags in their hands into the trench in front of the giant shield.  You can tell at a glance that the soldiers on the other side are well-trained. They throw the bags very quickly, and the throwing process is also orderly. In the blink of an eye, thousands of bags have been filled in the trench.  The trench was at least four meters wide and deep, but even that could not stop the thousands of bags from being filled. Soon, dozens of two- to three-meter-wide passages appeared in the trench.  The giant crossbow did not stop attacking because of the huge shield erected by the opponent. It continued to fire without stopping. Each shot could cause certain casualties to the heavy armored soldiers. When the opponent's follow-up infantry filled several channels, the heavy armored soldiers  When they advanced again, they lost at least nearly a thousand people under the attack of giant crossbows.  Before the entire wall, there were five trenches to resist enemy attacks, one every 100 meters.  With such an advance, when the enemy reaches the wall, those heavily armored soldiers will be completely dead or wounded no matter how you look at it.  But the other side's task was to fill the trenches, and the death of thousands of soldiers was nothing to Tyranny, which had millions of soldiers.  "It's a pity that we don't have enough manpower and can only clear out a few of them by force. If we can build arrow towers and defenses between the trenches, and add archers and spearmen, the enemy's losses will not be just these!  " Seeing that the enemy had advanced to the fourth trench, Mei Zhan couldn't help but sigh.  When the three of them arrived at Jialing Pass, Tyranny's side had already been attacking the pass for four days. In four days, ten trenches were filled in by the opponent, and all the original fortifications between the trenches were destroyed.  Although the opponent suffered heavy losses in this process, it also brought convenience to subsequent attacks.  Nowadays, it is not easy to clear five trenches while preventing the opponent from attacking!  He watched the opponent advance step by step with stern eyes, and in a blink of an eye he had reached the third trench. He couldn't help but ask: "Can't we send a team to stand out and shoot the opponent across the trench?  ? If there are hundreds of strong people from the ground attack, there must be a lot of gains!" Faced with the heavy words, Wei Dong, who had already ordered his generals to continue directing the giant crossbows, said:  "That's okay, but it's a pity that we have very few manpower now, and less than 100,000 defenders have to hold on for two days. At the same time, how can these soldiers have such strength? In normal times, the cavalry can do this  Sometimes we can launch several waves of charges, but now without the cooperation of fortifications, it won't have much effect at all. " "Zhong Sheng is silent, killing on the battlefield, personal bravery cannot affect the overall situation. At this moment, Shen Sheng is confident that he can rush forward alone and defeat the opponent's heavy armored soldiers.  Cause certain casualties.  However, he is only one person after all. Even if he has a solid foundation since he was a child, and his Yuanfu is different from other warriors, his spiritual energy is several times stronger than that of a semi-holy warrior, but even so, he is besieged by a large number of enemies.  There will still be times when it runs out.  "One person's power is really a drop in the bucket on this battlefield!" Zhong Shen couldn't help but sigh, and could only watch the other party advance towards the wall step by step.
