So happy to see old readers.

End of this chapter.

Chapter 147.

Fire transition accompanied by a series of intense whistling sounds.

A whole barrage of stone projectiles flew out from behind the ancient city walls of the Iron Wall tribe, targeting the archery units positioned on the high ground outside the city.

Damn, it's actually catapults.

Jeang Yishing was shocked, but he wasn't completely unprepared.

After all, he was also an archer, so he had carefully considered the safety of the archer units and had specifically left a squad of shieldbearers in the rear to protect them.

Now that he saw the enemy's longrange attack coming, he didn't need to say anything.

The shieldbears were already raising their shield for defense at the first moment.

Heavy stone projectiles kept crashing against the shields, and the impact that came through the shields made the soldiers in the shieldbearer unit feel uncomfortable.

Chief, the enemy's catapult attack is a bit strong.

If this continues, we might not be able to hold out for long.

Upon hearing the report from the shieldbearer unit leader, Jeang Yiong<unk>s expression darkened and he decisively ordered the frontline siege units continue advancing.

The archer units and the shieldbearer units fall back 30 paces.

His troops quickly moved under his command.

As Jeang Yishing retreated, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What the hell? This Loaji, since he can build ancient city walls, it means he's at least an experienced player.

Why is he still using catapults?" But no matter what, the siege battle had already begun, and there was no reason to back down.

The archers were his specially enhanced units, and combined with his silver level skill archery mastery.

Although the effective range would be affected by falling back 30 paces, he could still threaten the defending forces behind the ancient city walls.

While the threat posed by the enemy's catapults would significantly decrease.

Archers continue firing.

Commander, the enemy's archery units have fallen back.

A soldier cautiously peeking from behind the sentry towers railing reported to Xiaoan below after observing the situation outside the ancient city walls.

How far did they fall back? About 20 paces, I can't be sure.

The subordinate couldn't confirm due to the undulating terrain of the hilly area and the chaos of flying arrows outside, so he could only provide a rough estimate.

Upon hearing this, Xiaopan's brow furrowed.

Although the sentry had said he wasn't sure, the fact that the enemy archers could still attack their current position after retreating for some distance indicated that their range was greater than he had anticipated.

With this thought, Ziaoan decisively asked again, "What about the enemy's siege units? Have they retreated?" The sentry took another quick look and reported, "No, the siege units are still pushing the siege towers forward.

" Hearing this, Xiaoan immediately waved his hand, instructing the shield axe soldiers to block the incoming arrows catapult units.

Advance 10 paces.

Adjust angle 40° to the left.

Prepare to launch all stone projectiles.

Fire at the enemy siege units.

The catapult stationed at the iron wall tribe mostly consisted of experienced veterans who were highly skilled in using the trebuchet.

With Xiaoan's command, the stone projectiles were launched in a powerful barrage towards the advancing enemy siege units.

They've switched fire and their accuracy is quite impressive.

The reason catapults were phased out was not just due to their mobility issues, but also their lack of accuracy.

The fact that the enemy's catapults could switch targets so swiftly and accurately surprised Jeang Ying.

Gritting his teeth, he ordered the archery units to advance 30 paces to drive back the enemy catapults and cover the siege units advance since the enemy had switched fire.

He decisively returned to the previously confirmed optimal output position.

However, as soon as his rear units moved and hadn't even had time to reach the high ground, the defending catapult units surprisingly switched fire again, launching a round of stone projectiles directly at that high ground.

Although the incoming stone projectiles were ultimately blocked by the front shield bearer units, they still caused Jeang Ying to show a look of shock on his face, and he couldn't help but curse.

Damn, their reaction is so fast.

Is someone watching my movements? With his thought, Jeang Ying activated his skill, eagle eye.

His dark pupils quickly contracted and expanded, and his vision instantly became clear.

He then spotted a figure hiding behind the sentry tower railing, peeking at the battlefield without hesitation.

As the duration of eagle I was limited, Jeang Ying acted swiftly, drawing his bow and shooting an arrow.

The sentry who was still hiding behind the railing had no time to react.

With a dull thud, the arrow struck the wooden board of the sentry tower railing, missing by just a couple of fingers width.

However, it still made the sentry break into a cold sweat.

thinking that was close, almost got hit by an arrow.

Meanwhile, Jeang Yishing on the other end clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

Unlike the initial situation where the two sentries were unguarded while standing watch, now the sentry was completely hidden behind the railing, making it significantly more difficult to shoot him down with a single arrow.

Helplessly, the entire battlefield gradually turned into a tugofwar.

Whenever the archer units advanced, the enemy's catapult units would immediately launch a barrage of long-range attacks, forcing them to retreat.

And as soon as they fell back, the enemy catapults would quickly adjust their positions and switch fire to the siege units.

At this moment, Jeang Yishing realized he had hit a wall.

However, he wasn't fully discouraged yet.

Looking up at the sky, he noted that it was already afternoon when he had just invaded.

He had initially planned to leverage the advantage of the range units to cover the siege units and push through to breach the city gates before nightfall.

However, he hadn't anticipated the enemy's catapult units to be so unexpectedly fierce, effectively suppressing him and making the advance of the siege units extremely difficult.

If this continued, it would be unfavorable for him once it got dark.

Thinking of this, Jeang Yishing waved his hand decisively, issuing a retreat order.

At this point, he was no longer anxious.

The enemy's catapult units indeed had strong firepower, but considering the rate of fire, no matter how many stone projectiles they had, they couldn't sustain that level of consumption.

At most, after three rounds of siege battle, this city gate would surely break.

The update is here.

Thanks to the book friend nickname has been blocked for the reward.

and book friends cloud born easy nine domains v daist and win for the monthly votes end of chapter chapter 148 strategy the issue of stone projectile consumption was something the general defending the city could not overlook however the situation at the time left him with no choice if the frequency of attacks weakened the enemy would seize the opportunity to push forward the Iron Wall tribe did not have strong melee forces and once the enemy advanced to the city gates, they would be in danger.

How many stone projectiles are left? The people below had just completed the count and there were 321 stone projectiles remaining in the warehouse.

At this moment, Zhao, who had just walked in, replied with a serious expression.

Although he was not as experienced in warfare as Xiaoan, he understood that 321 projectiles were not an optimistic number.

After all, with 20 stone throwers, a single round of attacks would consume 20 projectiles.

As the defenders, their consumption of stone projectiles was too high.

At such a critical moment, they could not even open the city gates to retrieve the projectiles they had thrown.

Thinking of this, Zhao couldn't help but speak again.

I will have the mining team and the tribe work overnight to try to make up for the losses.

Mm.

I'll trouble you with this matter.

Pan nodded.

But his expression was not optimistic.

Although the cost of stone projectiles was low, as the tribe developed, the requirements for stone projectiles in the Ming Jing tribe had also increased.

They could not just pick up any random stones from the roadside to use as projectiles.

Because using stones of various sizes and odd shapes made it difficult for the stone throwers to maintain accuracy.

To avoid this, every stone projectile they were currently using had been carefully polished.

Don't look so grim.

be a bit more optimistic.

At least we managed to repel that group of outsiders today, right? Lu Jang sitting beside him tried to comfort Zia.

But for someone who is not good at this kind of thing, the effect was obviously not very good.

Xiaopan shook his head and then spoke in a firm tone.

The leader of the outsiders wisely retreated before our soldiers suffered casualties in today's siege.

He is depleting our stock of stone projectiles.

Once the leader realized that the target of the outsiders attack was our iron wall tribe, even if he sent reinforcements, it would take at least 3 days.

This means that if the enemy maintains a high frequency of attacks, we will have to face at least two to three more rounds of siege.

If our stone projectiles run out before that, we will be equivalent to losing.
