Another rain of arrows came from under the city, but those arrows posed almost no threat to the soldiers hiding behind the arrow stacks and failed to cause significant casualties.

However, the charge of the cavalry archers was not without effect. At least to a certain extent, it curbed the arrow suppression of the infantry phalanx by the soldiers on the city.

Soon, the infantry phalanxes of the foreign soldiers were approaching the walls of Xiguan City.

Amidst a series of continuous explosions, dozens of ladders were quickly placed on the top of the city wall. Then, the foreign soldiers rushed up the ladders like ants and climbed up with all their might.

On the city wall, the soldiers stood up and shot dense arrows at the foreign troops climbing the ladders.

Su Wen had served in Xiguan City for many years and was well aware of the enemy and our own situation, so his speculation that it was not groundless that his side would find it difficult to withstand the fierce attack of the foreign army.

Although the walls of Xiguan City were high and strong, they lacked the necessary equipment for defending the city. There were neither rolling logs nor stones nor kerosene to help. The city only relied on soldiers and bows and arrows for defense, which was indeed beyond its ability.

The soldiers shot arrows downwards while enduring the fire suppression from the foreign army's cavalry archers.

The foreign soldiers climbed the ladders with great difficulty, and from time to time some of them were shot by arrows and tumbled down, while some of the defenders on the city walls were also shot by the foreign horse archers.

The two sides fought back and forth, turning into a fierce tug-of-war. Arrows intertwined in the air like dense raindrops. The cruelty and intensity of the war were fully revealed at this moment.

At this moment, Zhu Wu led dozens of soldiers hurriedly back to the city wall, each carrying two or three heavy doors on their backs.

After they arrived at the city wall, they immediately dispersed and quickly distributed the doors to the defenders in various places.

As soon as the soldiers got the door, they quickly erected it firmly on the arrow slit.

Some stood behind the door for support, while others used this makeshift barrier to shoot arrows from behind, fiercely firing at the enemies on the ladders.

The defensive effect of these doors was unexpectedly good. Most of the arrows shot by the horse archers were blocked by the doors. The foreign soldiers who were climbing the ladders with difficulty were like prey targeted by hunters. They were constantly shot by arrows and fell painfully from the ladders.

Faced with such a situation, an ordinary person would have retreated long ago.

But instead of retreating, these foreigners charged forward even more bravely.

Looking closely at these foreign soldiers, one can see that their eyes are red, and they are holding various long and short knives tightly in their mouths. They are like wild beasts, climbing up the ladders desperately.

Is this a human or a beast? Deep well ice, right? Duan Tianyang frowned.

In modern times, he has never served in the army, nor has he witnessed the cruelty of war.

What he didn't know was that once on the battlefield, there would be no turning back and he could only fight without reservation.

No one is not afraid of death, but fear cannot prevent death. Being brave may give you a glimmer of hope.

More importantly, once soldiers enter the army, they become comrades-in-arms who share life and death and are as close as brothers.

When the brothers around you fall, the anger that surges in your heart is enough to make you forget about life and death. There is only one belief in your mind, and that is to avenge your fallen comrades.

Just as Duan Tianyang was lost in thought, a dazzling cold light suddenly streaked across the sky and shot straight towards a door within his sight.

Then, a crisp click sound was heard, and the heavy door panel was instantly pierced by the cold light.

Behind the door, a soldier who was aiming and shooting had nowhere to escape. He was hit directly in the chest by the cold light, and rolled down from the other side of the city wall like a kite with a broken string.

Seeing this, Duan Tianyang rushed forward and bent over to take a closer look.

A metal arrow was stuck in the soldier's chest, and a white mist was emitting from the arrow.

This is a black arrow! There are black arrow shooters under the city!

He looked hurriedly outside the city, and the moment he stuck his head out of the city gate, five cold rays of light shot out from the archer team and accurately hit five different doors.

With a dull thud, the door panel broke instantly. Five soldiers screamed in agony and were thrown backwards by the powerful impact force.

Most of them were killed by a single arrow, the tragic scene was unbearable to watch.

Duan Tianyang's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He keenly caught the figures of several martial artists hidden in the archer cavalry formation.

These martial artists were covered in armor, holding in their hands black bows hammered from rare titanium, and the arrows in their quivers were also made of titanium.

As a weapon refiner, Duan Tianyang is well aware of the rarity and preciousness of titanium.

He understood that the number of black arrows the opponent possessed was limited after all, and it was impossible for them to launch continuous attacks.

However, the existence of these black archers can bring a heavy psychological burden to their own soldiers.

Sure enough, many soldiers on the city wall had lowered the door panels, squatted down, and hid behind the arrow stacks.

At the same time, the nearby foreign soldiers seized this opportunity, climbed up to the top of the city wall using ladders, and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers on the city wall.

Although the foreign soldiers who rushed up were quickly killed on the ground, Duan Tianyang knew very well that such a situation could not last long.

If they don't get rid of those accurate archers, the foreign soldiers will sooner or later tear through their defense line.

After a brief hesitation, Duan Tianyang gritted his teeth and jumped off the city wall.

There was a huge crowd of people under the city wall, and no one expected that someone would jump down from the high wall.

The foreign soldiers around were stunned for a moment when they saw this.

After only a brief moment of surprise, they surged forward like a tide with tremendous momentum.

Faced with the siege of these ferocious foreign soldiers, Duan Tianyang did not show any intention of retreating. Instead, his eyes were determined and his fighting spirit was high.

He quickly injected his true energy into the sword in his hand, and with a swing, the sword energy spread out and turned into a storm-like sharp blade, sweeping forward fiercely.

The power of the blade storm was fully demonstrated at this moment. There was not a single unnecessary blow, and not a single missed blow. Every wind blade scraped the enemy accurately.

In an instant, screams and wails rang out from the foreign soldiers' ranks, creating a scene like purgatory.

In just a blink of an eye, dozens of foreign soldiers were cut by the storm of sharp blades, covered in blood, and fell to the ground, their lives uncertain.

Duan Tianyang was about to pursue the victory, but suddenly he felt a sharp gust of wind blowing in his face.

He reacted instantly, instinctively raising the sword in his hand and holding it across his chest to block.

There was a loud clang, like the sound of metal hitting stone. Duan Tianyang felt a huge force coming from the sword, which instantly lifted his feet off the ground and slid back several meters.

On the ground, two deep scratches were like two blood-red snakes, shocking to the eye.

Before Duan Tianyang could stand firm, two foreign soldiers rushed up from behind, wielding long swords and slashing at his back one after another.

The blade slashed fiercely on the armor on his back, bursting into dazzling sparks.

Duan Tianyang didn't even turn his head, as if he had eyes on his back, and he swung his sword with his backhand.

As a sharp cold light flashed, the heads of the two foreign soldiers flew up instantly. Then, a thick blood mist gushed out and instantly filled the air.
