A wolf-tooth arrow shot swiftly from below the city, whistling past Wang Dahu's helmet, the force of the wind it generated making his scalp tingle.

Below the city, the Northern Barbarian soldiers had already advanced to within two hundred paces.

Wang Dahu raised his shield with one hand and roared at the top of his lungs, "Raise your shields! Everyone, raise your shields!"

"Wang Tu! You little brat, are you out of your mind? Crouch down! Don't show your face!"

Apart from four veterans including Wang Dahu, the rest of Lin Feng's soldiers were all green recruits with little combat experience.

Lin Feng focused on long-range sniping, so he temporarily handed over command to the experienced Wang Dahu.

"Phew~"

Lin Feng took a deep breath, drew an armor-piercing arrow from his quiver, and steadily nocked it onto the bowstring.

With his bow drawn to its fullest extent, his gaze was fixed intently on a Northern Barbarian soldier carrying a siege ladder below the city.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of the arrow piercing the air was unstoppable; the armor-piercing arrow, like a black lightning bolt, shot straight towards the northern barbarian soldier.

Below the city, the northern barbarian soldier was carrying a siege ladder and charging forward with a roar when he suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound from above. He looked up and his pupils contracted sharply.

"Pfft!"

The armor-piercing arrow pierced his face with precision, and its force was so great that it also pierced the chest of another Northern Barbarian soldier behind him!

The two bodies were strung together with arrows and fell straight down.

Killing two birds with one stone!

On the city wall, Wang Tu and the other new recruits stared in disbelief, then burst into thunderous cheers.

"The sergeant's archery is superb!"

"Two down with one arrow! Squad Leader Lin is invincible!"

"Kill! Kill all these northern barbarians!"

They had only heard that Lin Feng had killed a hundred people in yesterday's battle, but seeing is believing.

Witnessing such incredible archery skills, the passion in everyone's hearts was instantly ignited, and even their fear of the northern barbarians dissipated considerably.

Below the city walls, the team carrying ladders lost two men, and their momentum immediately stalled.

But in no time, two more Northern Barbarian soldiers stepped up and continued to charge forward, carrying ladders.

Upon seeing this, a northern barbarian centurion roared at the top of his lungs, "Raise your shields! Quickly raise your shields to cover the siege ladders!"

The centurion's reaction was swift, but unfortunately, he underestimated the power of the armor-piercing arrow in Lin Feng's hand.

Before he could finish speaking, another whooshing sound rang out from the city wall.

"Centurion, watch out!"

The guards reacted quickly, immediately raising their shields to block the officer.

"Bang!"

The armor-piercing arrow struck the center of the shield with precision, and with a crisp sound, the wooden shield shattered!

Amidst the flying sawdust, the arrow pierced the shield with overwhelming force and went straight into the guard's chest.

"what!"

The guard screamed and fell backward, shield and all, crashing hard into the sergeant.

The centurion narrowly escaped death, but was left dazed and confused.

Still shaken, he looked up and saw two soldiers carrying ladders not far away, their throats pierced by arrows.

"Bang!"

The heavy siege ladder crashed to the ground with a loud thud. The remaining Northern Barbarian soldiers who were carrying the ladder were terrified and immediately dropped the ladder, turning to flee.

"asshole!"

The northern barbarian centurion cursed angrily, scrambling to his feet. He drew his sword, pointed it at the deserters, and shouted, "Raise the siege ladder! Anyone who dares to retreat even half a step will be court-martialed!"

The gleaming longsword slashed down, and the slowest Northern Barbarian soldier was immediately beheaded.

Seeing that their commander was serious, the other northern barbarian soldiers turned pale with fright and had no choice but to grit their teeth and carry the ladders forward again.

Two hundred steps is a distance that can be covered in the blink of an eye.

In just those short two hundred steps, the Northern Barbarian army paid the price of more than forty lives in order to get the ladders to the city wall!

That archer on the city wall was like a devil taking lives!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several siege ladders slammed against the city wall one after another, making a dull thud.

The northern barbarian soldiers, braving the rolling stones and logs falling from the city walls, climbed the cloud ladders like madmen.

Zhang Ergou picked up a rolling boulder and hurled it fiercely down towards the city walls, cursing, "I'll smash you to death, you damned northern barbarian!"

After throwing the rolling stones, he looked up at Lin Feng and shouted, "Lin Feng! Something bad has happened! The Tartars are pushing their battering rams!"

Lin Feng had just shot down three Northern Barbarian soldiers who were climbing the ladder, and upon hearing this, he immediately looked up.

Sure enough, they saw a group of Northern Barbarian soldiers pushing several battering rams and charging towards the city gate.

Zhenyuan City is a large city with twelve gates in total, forming a four-sided city wall.

Although the city gate below where Lin Feng and his group were located was not large, and the gate opening had long been blocked with sandbags and bricks, once the city gate was breached by a battering ram, it would be much easier for the Tartars to clear the sandbags and bricks than to breach the city wall!

"Uncle Er Gou! I'll handle the battering ram! You all just hold the city walls and don't let the Tartars climb up!"

Lin Feng roared and drew another armor-piercing arrow, aiming it at the shield bearers in front of the battering ram.

In front of each battering ram were ten soldiers pushing the ram, plus four shield bearers protecting it, forming a mobile shield wall.

Lin Feng drew his bowstring taut and aimed an arrow at the shield bearer at the front.

He used all his strength in that arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The armor-piercing arrow, carrying the force of thunder, pierced through the air and struck the wooden shield in front of the shield bearer.

The shields used by the Northern Barbarian soldiers were mostly made of hardwood with animal hides on the surface. Only the most elite Bayan Mengke guards were worthy of iron shields.

Ordinary arrows would be deflected by this wooden shield, but it was no match for Lin Feng's armor-piercing arrows.

"Snap!"

With a crisp crack, the wooden shield shattered, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

The armor-piercing arrow, still powerful, pierced through the shieldbearer's leather armor and went straight through his neck.

Blood gushed out, and before the shield bearer could even scream, he was impaled on the wooden plank at the front of the battering ram by an arrow.

Upon seeing this, the northern barbarian soldiers pushing the cart were terrified.

"Oh no! That devil has his eye on us! Push! Push!"

The Northern Barbarian squad leader beside the battering ram gritted his teeth and desperately urged his men to speed up.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than another whooshing sound rang out.

"Whoosh!"

Another arrow!

The arrow also pierced the chest of a shield bearer with great accuracy, and its force was so great that it also pinned down a cart soldier behind him!

"Wh...Section Chief..."

A Northern Barbarian soldier behind the platoon leader spoke in a trembling voice, his teeth chattering: "Let's... let's retreat! Let's attack the main gate! I don't want to die here!"

That archer on the city wall is too weird!

Staying here, they are like fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered, only able to watch helplessly as they are killed!

"Shut up!"

The platoon leader roared angrily, drawing his sword: "General Getu has ordered! Anyone who dares to fight will be killed without mercy!"

He brandished his blood-stained longsword, his fierce gaze sweeping over the crowd: "Do you want to be warriors who die on the battlefield, or deserters who will drag your entire families into exile and exile?"

The military law of the Northern Barbarians was extremely harsh. Anyone who deserted in the face of battle would have their entire family, regardless of age or gender, exiled as slaves.

The squad leader's warning struck everyone like a thunderclap.

Everyone's faces were pale, but they could only grit their teeth and push the cart forward with all their might.

One by one, his comrades fell around him. In the end, even the sergeant was shot through the chest by an arrow and died on the spot.

The northern barbarian soldiers charged forward wave after wave, and after paying the price of more than thirty lives, they finally pushed the battering ram to the city gate.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dull thuds of impact rang out one after another, causing the entire city wall to tremble slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Feng had no choice but to put down his longbow, draw his Cheng Ying sword from his waist, and turn around to join the close combat on the city wall.

Today's attack by the northern barbarians is several times more ferocious than yesterday's.

The Cheng Ying Sword could cut through iron like mud, and coupled with Lin Feng's superhuman strength, not a single weapon in the hands of the Northern Barbarian soldiers could withstand a single blow.

Swing your sword and slay!

Swing the sword again, and kill again!

By the end, Lin Feng's mind was completely blank, with only one thought remaining—kill! Kill all these northern barbarians!

In his eyes, the northern barbarian soldiers below the city were no longer human, but a pack of jackals slaughtering their homes, pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered!

The fierce battle lasted from dawn until noon before the Northern Barbarians sounded the retreat and replaced them with a second wave of 40,000 troops who had been resting and recuperating, who launched another fierce attack.

The second round of fighting lasted from noon until dusk. After a short rest, the Northern Barbarian army rotated its forces and launched a fierce attack for an hour before slowly retreating.

The ferocity of the Northern Barbarian army's offensive this time is unprecedented.

When the retreat signal sounded, both the Northern Barbarian army below the city and the Zhenyuan army on the city wall breathed a long sigh of relief.

Looking around, the city walls and the surrounding area were covered with countless corpses.

Crimson blood meandered down the city wall, pooling at its base into a blood-red puddle, truly deserving the description of a river of blood.
