Chapter 286 Covering Shooting
In order to successfully complete this major operation, the human top leaders have mobilized a lot of manpower.
At this moment, Xu Guoqiang was surrounded by many martial masters. Only a small number of these martial masters were permanent forces in the Vanguard City, and most of them were temporarily transferred as reinforcements.
If Xu Guoqiang and the martial masters around him had all rushed to seize the top of the city wall as soon as they arrived.
Then, maybe Rizhao City has been breached by now.
But Xu Guoqiang did not give orders as he pleased, because he had deeper plans in mind.
Humanity's move this time is huge. The top leaders have mobilized so many forces, not just to capture Rizhao City.
If it is just for Rizhao City, then there will definitely be no problem in rushing up and opening the city gate as soon as possible.
But since we are still thinking about capturing the city behind, it is not a wise thing to do.
Warriors at the Wuzong level can all fly, so once the city is breached in an instant, the Wuzong level warriors in Rizhao City will most likely choose to break out in all directions.
Once this situation occurs, most of the martial masters from other worlds will definitely be able to escape.
After all, Rizhao City is so big that even if the peak combat power of mankind goes to chase, it is impossible to defeat the opponent 100%.
The biggest purpose of this operation is to capture Rizhao City, which can effectively kill the enemy's high-end combat power. This is the strategic goal of the entire city-breaking operation.
Killing as many high-end combat forces from the other world as possible can not only reduce the difficulty of breaking through the subsequent cities, but most importantly, it can also make the counterattack from the other world weaker and slower.
Conquering the cities of another world and plundering its resources, such things would inevitably lead to crazy revenge from the people in that world.
Therefore, we should try our best to kill their manpower as much as possible, which is also to prepare for the defense later.
Xu Guoqiang did not choose to send out martial arts masters at the first opportunity because his purpose was to attract more warriors from other worlds.
Now the goal has been basically achieved, because warriors from other worlds are continuously providing support to the city walls.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The rhythm of the war drums suddenly changed, and this drum sound represented a retreat.
Hearing the drumbeats, the warriors who were still charging began to retreat instantly.
Warriors possess great physical strength, which makes their attack and retreat extremely fast.
In just ten breaths, except for some people who were entangled and unable to retreat, the rest of the warriors retreated.
The attack just now lasted only about ten minutes, but both sides suffered at least several thousand casualties.
This number may not seem large, but you have to know that those who were injured or killed just now were all warriors at the martial arts master level.
"Covering fire!"
Looking at the soldiers on the city wall who did not withdraw, Xu Guoqiang frowned deeply.
Although he knew that after receiving this order, the human soldiers on the city wall would not be spared, he could not care less at this moment.
On a battlefield involving hundreds of thousands of people, opportunities are fleeting, and as a commander, he must be ruthless.
Following Xu Guoqiang's order, this time, more crossbow arrows flew out from the rear.
Dense swarms of crossbow arrows flew into the sky, blocking all the sunlight above Rizhao City.
After a period of preparation, the crossbow arrows fired this time surpassed the first two in both quantity and quality .
"Haha, let's die together!"
Looking at the crossbow arrows in the sky, a human warrior who had no time to retreat laughed wildly.
After laughing wildly, the warrior dropped the weapon in his hand and hugged his opponent tightly.
Originally, this human warrior was already exhausted, and under the attack of the alien warrior, his body was covered with scars.
But at the moment the crossbow arrow arrived, he burst out with a powerful force.
"Damn it, let go! Let go!"
“Bang! Bang!”
The warriors from another world kept beating the human warriors in front of them, hoping to get away.
"hehe!"
His mouth was full of blood, but the human warrior had no intention of letting go.
The warrior from the other world also felt the power, and he attacked the human warrior on his body with all his might.
His back was beaten to a bloody mess and several of his fingers were broken, but this human warrior did not let go at all.
"Xiao Hu, I have killed three foreign dogs. Now I can come and accompany you without any worries."
A trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and then the human warrior bit his opponent's ear hard.
"ah!"
A miserable scream was heard. Being bitten on the ear would certainly not cause a warrior from another world to let out such a creepy scream.
The crossbow arrows arrived, and one of them pierced through the human warrior's back, then continued to pierce the alien warrior he was holding.
The warriors' vitality is very strong, but if their entire bodies are pierced, they still cannot escape death.
Under the attack of covering crossbow arrows, serious casualties occurred in the other world.
There were many martial masters from other worlds on the city wall, but they did not take any action to stop the crossbow arrows just now.
Because there were some special crossbow arrows in the crossbow group that were aimed at them.
The materials used for these special crossbow arrows are higher quality than those for ordinary crossbow arrows, and the masters who shoot them are also human warriors at the Martial Sect level.
Although these special crossbows cannot directly kill the martial masters from another world, they can still make them panic.
"put!"
"put!"
Three waves of crossbow arrows were fired in succession. After these three waves of crossbow arrows, only a small number of warriors from the other world were still able to stand on the city wall.
As for the human warriors who remained on the city wall, at this moment, they had all been killed in the battle.
These human warriors all died facing Rizhao City.
Hundreds of human warriors who were unable to retreat in time, none of them left their backs to the warriors from another world.
Even if they were abandoned, even if they were outnumbered by the enemy, they still chose to fight to the death.
At the moment the crossbow arrows were shot, almost all the soldiers chose to die heroically.
Use all the means at your disposal to grab the enemy next to you, and then wait quietly for the crossbow arrow to take away your and the enemy's life.
Looking at the human warriors on the city wall, Xu Guoqiang felt something coming out of his eyes.
With a thought in his heart, he put away this emotion that shouldn't appear at this moment.
He is the commander of the army, and now there are more important things waiting for him.
"Lin Wei, you will take over the command of the army now."
"Yes, General."
Leaving the command to his deputy, Xu Guoqiang looked at the martial masters around him.
"Everyone, it's our turn."
“Break the city!”
After giving the order, Xu Guoqiang flew directly to the top of the city wall.
Behind him were dozens of human martial masters.
