The army ell-trained, and it appeared they've been trained to swiftly weave wooden rafts together a short while ago, and with just little effort, there was now a long wooden path on the water connective the two shores, enabling the army to cross the river and reach the other side
Within this short period, Zhong Shan did not give out any orders The effective shooting range of the archers was only fiftythe moat, the force behind the arroould be too weak, and the option of opening the city gates to let out soldiers to fight simply would not exist when one lacked in manpower It would be for the best for theht at a later ti wooden rafts to cross the other side ithin Zhong Shan's calculations

”Release the arrows~~” Zhong Shan ordered softly
At the side, Ying Lan pulled out a sh above On the walls, the majority of the archers had already pulled back their boaiting for the next coe amount of arrows rained down unto the soldiers that had just crossed the moat
The casualties of the army could not be counted A vast amount of soldiers died on spot the moment they stepped foot on the other side of the shore
In the battlefield, cowering in fear was not an option The are dauntlessly across the moat wave after wave as their bodies fell one after another; creating pools of blood filled with dead corpses The visual scene was incredibly horrible to look at Rivers formed out of their blood, plains were made out of their bodies, yet the ar over the siege weapons and Eight Ox Crossboith them
Zhong Shan gazed codly at the battlefieldas both sides fought Though they held the high ground advantage, the strength of their army was truly too little, whereas the enemy had unlie for theirs, sooner or later, chances of the enehly possible, but Zhong Shan did not seem to mind
Zhong Shan directed his gaze towards Su Lian Xian Within the large army, the only one who he placed in his eyes was Su Lian Xian whoreement with and thus did not participate in the politics of Great Kun

When Zhong Shan had his eyes focused on so and all those around hirossed hiarnered victories one after another, his heart shook to the point it felt unbearable
It was in this moht of Kun Er but it was also at this most difficult point in his life he crossed path with the second love of his life, Bao Er Her gentleness, patience, and consideration sloar Shan's heart and helped him to walk out from the darkness of his sorrows
But Su Lian Xian was also interested in Bao Er

Up till today, the two forures had finally shed all pretense of cordiality with both ar one another
An hour passed by The death counts of the opposing side rose to a twenty thousand The bodies of their fallen co blood of their fallen comrades became river It was a deathly scene but the ar cruel battle made the archers at the top of the wall numb
At last, the large siege weapons made its way across the moat
After the death of twenty-so thousand soldiers, the true battle was about to start
”Attack the city,” Su Lian Xian roared from the opposite bank
”Hou!” Countless soldiers roared and crossed the river bank The siege weapons were already on the opposite side of the river The victory would not be out of reach, they thought
A vast nu ladders They hurriedly rushed forward to the castle wall and leaned it against the walls The archers on top repeatedly shot their arroards but it was not enough to obstruct and hinder the progress of such an army of this size The army continued to climb up the ladders endlessly If one was shot down, then there would be another onecli as the eneed to rush up onto the walls where the archers were at, then this barricade of defence would become an utter failure
