As his thoughts raced, the merchant army quickly assessed the situation.

Facing the iron wall defense of the large shield troops, the arrow rain from the cavalry archers posed no significant threat.

However, conversely, he was also at a disadvantage against the cavalry archers.

Thus, the best strategy was to ignore them, allocating some large shield soldiers to specifically block the arrow reign from the cavalry archers while having the rear archers conduct a symbolic counterattack.

The merchant army decisively commanded the remaining forces to continue the siege.

Once the city gates were breached and he led his troops into the city with the city walls as support, what threat could a cavalry archery unit that could not lay siege posed to him? This idea seemed quite beautiful, but reality was undoubtedly much harsher.

Bise, who had been waiting at a distance, would not give him this opportunity.

The merchant army barely had time to react.

Accompanied by the sound of galloping hooves by Zay's light cavalry troops surged forward, reaching their maximum speed in an instant.

They become the sharpest blade on the battlefield.

Mercilessly slicing through the enemy's throat.

With blood splattering, they crushed an entire unit of archers in the backline.

Chapter 325.

The enemy general meets his end after years of hard work.

Returning to the pre-liberation era in an instant is the most thrilling experience for these players.

You may have trained your troops for several months or even years, but in just one battle, they could all be wiped out.

This is no joke.

Damn it, Logic.

You bastard.

At this moment, the merchant army is undoubtedly experiencing the ups and downs of life.

A unit of 500 archers was completely decimated by the charge of a light cavalry unit.

And just thinking about it makes one's heart bleed.

Training archers is not as easy as training regular infantry.

Unaware that the defending players had not shown up, the merchant army thought that this was a trap set by Logic, which made him so angry that he cursed out loud, inadvertently dragging Logic, who was far away in Ming Jing city into the fray.

Surround them, shield soldiers, surround the entire formation while cursing Logic in his heart.

The merchant army continued to command the shield soldiers to form a defensive line.

At this moment, the weaknesses of his contradictory combination were undoubtedly exposed.

The painfully low mobility became an undeniable flaw of this unit, making even changing formations extraordinarily difficult and troublesome.

Meanwhile, Bise's light cavalry and beer goods mounted archers were not sitting idly by while they changed formations.

These two cavalry units, known for their mobility, continuously maneuvered and harvested kills.

The two players who had been eyeing each other with disdain and thinking about how to outdo one another surprisingly found a tacit understanding once they cooperated under the pressure of two cavalry units harvesting kills back and forth.

The merchant army finally adjusted their formation, but their faces were dark enough to drip water.

Just moments ago, their total troop strength had shrunk by about a quarter.

However, the formation was finally completed.

The merchant army unhesitatingly relied on their sufficient number of shield soldiers to set up a tightly packed ironclad formation with sharp long spears continuously thrusting out from the gaps between the shields completely conveying the message.

Anyone who gets close will be impaled.

Realizing the threat of the spears, Bise and Bureig decisively led their respective cavalry units to retreat with Bureod even signaling for everyone to switch their weapons back to bows.

Watching the two cavalry units continuously maneuvering around his ironclad formation.

The merchant army's facial muscles twitched, silently lamenting that he had messed up this time.

He shouldn't have been greedy for those horse resources.

According to Lynn Leeshi's plan, after three days of unsuccessful assaults, they should have retreated normally.

Continuing to fight now clearly went against the original plan, and he was undoubtedly trapped by his own greed.

Fortunately, the advantage of troop type restraint was still in play.

He could do nothing to the opposing side, and they could do nothing to him unless infantry reinforcements arrived.

However, after several days of siege, the defending troops in the city had long since lost their fighting power.

With this thought, a ruthless glint flashed in the merchant army's eyes.

Maintain the ironclad formation, push up the siege equipment, and force the assault.

There was no escaping now.

With this mobility, he could not outrun the cavalry.

Thus, the only path left was to capture the city behind him, block the city gates, and hold the city until the seventh day to retreat.

Thinking of this, the merchant army's expression became even more ferocious.

He had suffered significant losses this time after entering the city if he didn't burn, kill, and loot.

It would be impossible to quell his anger.

Watching the advancing ironclad formation, Bise and Bure's expressions changed in an instant.

The enemy's intention was crystal clear.

They were clearly planning a strong assault on Bama City.

The continuous siege had already made Bameis City's gates teeter on the brink of collapse.

Who knew how many more impacts from the siege equipment the gates could withstand? The captain defending Bayis City, realizing this, also changed his expression drastically.

He instinctively looked at the three crossbows on the city wall.

However, after days of defending, the heavy bolts designed for the three crossbows had long been exhausted.

With no other choice, he could only command the nearly exhausted stonethrowing troops to launch two more rounds of stones, but the effect was minimal.

Neither the stonethrower strength nor the number of stones could hold out any longer.

As the gates of Bama City were on the verge of being breached, the captain was contemplating whether to set fire to the three crossbows on the wall to preserve his troop strength for a retreat when a soldier galloping in from the city brought in the news he most wanted to hear.

Report: General.

Reinforcements from TB City have arrived and are entering through the other gate heading this way.

Upon hearing this news, the captain of Bayis City's defenders immediately showed a look of wild joy and resolutely ordered, "Follow my orders.

Open the gates.

" The shaky gates of Bameis City began to slowly rise.

A scene that stunned the merchant army who were frantically assaulting and even made by Z who had retreated a distance to prepare for a charge against the enemy's ironclad formation to prevent Bamis city from falling.

Pause in confusion.

What happened? Why are the gates opening? His gaze instinctively turned to the wall of Bamis city just in time to see the captain of Bamis city gesturing wildly at him.

Reinforcements.

The reinforcements have arrived.

Understanding the meaning behind the gestures, Baise's spirit was instantly invigorated, and he turned to bey good, shouting, "Reinforcements have arrived in the city.

Fall back a distance.

Prepare to encircle and intercept.

Mounted archers, come with me.

" Without wasting any words, Buri Good immediately led his mounted archers to maneuver towards the periphery.

Meanwhile, the merchant army, seeing the gates of Bayis City rising on their own, felt puzzled.

But at this point, he had no way out.

Behind him were two cavalry units waiting for him.

In other words, retreating was a dead end.

Advancing at least there was a glimmer of hope.

With his thought, the merchant army's heart began to harden.

Maintain the formation pushed the siege equipment directly into the city.

However, to his surprise, the impact of the siege equipment actually hit empty space.

What was going on? There were no defending troops blocking the gates behind them.

As the merchant army focused, he saw not only were there no defending troops blocking the gates, but there wasn't even a shadow in sight.

Just as he pondered this, accompanied by a flurry of footsteps, a unit of infantry unexpectedly appeared on the street facing the gates, the leading soldier, clad in bronze armor, glared furiously at the merchant army charging into the city, then brandished his spring and autumn broadsword and charged forward, shouting, "The enemy general meets his end.

Chapter 326.

The sword dragging slash as the first valiant general under logic to reach five-star marshall prowess.

Lu Jang, due to his breaking through the encirclement talent, could not fully unleash his battle prowess under normal circumstances, resulting in his combat power being subtly reduced to 70% compared to other five-star generals.

However, the situation in Bama City was essentially a reverse win situation, wasn't it? The gates were blocked.

The cavalry outside couldn't get in.

And even if they did, they couldn't exert their combat power inside the city.

Meanwhile, the defending forces were basically exhausted and unable to form an effective fighting force.

For Lu Jang, the current situation was simply perfect timing.

The fatigue accumulated from several days of force marches had not dragged Lu Jing down.

The blood was surging and a wave of power surged with each bead of his heart, making him feel a rush of adrenaline.

The enemy general meets his end.
