The unusual calmness and bravery displayed by Niutou and Mamian in this battle exceeded Shuichong's expectations. Shuichong even patiently learned from Niutou and Mamian how to deal with the attacks of spiritual cultivators.
It's not that Shuichong hadn't experienced this before, but that time there was a charlatan present. Shuichong knocked down the old Taoist priest Lei Feng with a single stone, and became famous overnight, which led to his current prestige.
"Chief Shuichong, if the enemy's army had not lacked the offensive power, they might have really broken in." Horse-Faced Guard was a little scared.
"The first wave was beaten half to death by our cavalry. It's understandable that their morale is low. Horse-Faced, well done."
"No, this time it's the Bull Head's bow and arrow..."
"He wasn't shot dead, just slightly injured." No matter how good your timing is, the instinct of a spiritual cultivator is extremely fast, so how can it be so easy to hit the fatal point?
The heavy blow of the Horse-Faced Guard's axe was indeed very powerful, even knocking over the bronze shield. This allowed the Bull-Headed Guard to deliver the fatal blow, repelling the enemy's spiritual cultivator.
Ultimately, if a cultivator wanted to perform a miraculous attack on the gate from too far away, they wouldn't be able to land a hit. If they were too far away, the impact force wouldn't be enough, and if the impact force was insufficient, it might miss the target and not even reach the stone wall. At a distance of roughly twenty meters, you, a cultivator, could accurately attack the gate. From a high position, a horse-faced cultivator with such a heavy axe could still hit your protective bronze shield, right?
"Okay, you two can flatter each other, haha!"
Some people aren't incapable of fighting; they simply lack the necessary skills. The Bull-Head and Horse-Faced tribes were quite capable in combat, but the Bull-Head tribe was a bit weak back then, lacking the organization and discipline of the current Sea Tribe.
Of course, the constant conflicts between the Bull Head Tribe and the Purple Tribe also served as a test of the Bull Head and Horse Face's combat abilities. No one is born an outstanding general; isn't it all about fighting and becoming a leader?
Haifan City’s temporary raft filled the gap in the wooden gate, and then piled up stones to block it, so there was no problem with the city gate.
With Ox-Head and Horse-Face around, Shuichong was really relieved about Ximen this time.
The battle at the East Gate seemed brutal, but in reality, it was still a mess. The Forest Tribe had probably only just emerged from the Great Forest, and their level of formalization was limited. The slightest setback would have thrown them into disarray. Shuichong was confident in the impact of such a team.
As for the Qingfeng tribe, it was obvious that they were not putting in enough effort.
"The coalition forces, haha!" Shuichong sneered.
"Chief Shuichong, they have two spiritual cultivators." Hai Dao said.
"Well, let's take turns to keep a close eye on them. Even if the opponent is a coalition force and they may not be on good terms, we should not let our guard down." Shuichong is cautious by nature. He is a disabled person, and his current identity and status are hard-earned and he cherishes them very much.
"Don't worry, Chief Shuichong. Our scout team still has four joint sniper teams. Even if the enemy's spiritual cultivators don't attack the city gate, we still have time to resist."
"Four joint sniper teams?" Shuichong was overjoyed.
"It was the charlatan's request. He said that we should be serving the most powerful soldiers. It would be a waste of our talents to just gather information. We should form a sniper team to target the enemy's spiritual cultivators. In the future, we have to take on various important responsibilities in the war." Hai Dao was very proud when he said this. Of course, he was proud to be valued by the charlatan.
It doesn’t matter if there are not that many heavy copper axes. What the sniper team needs is weight impact force. Stone axes will do. They are low in cost. As long as there are enough of them and the purpose of smashing the opponent’s large shield is achieved, it’s fine.
A joint sniper team wouldn't just rely on throwing heavy axes. They'd also need to be skilled archers, not just sharpshooters, but also skilled spearmen. This kind of attack, with both precision and density, would be a real deterrent to spiritual cultivators. Each joint sniper team consisted of approximately twenty individuals.
"Prepare for a rainy day! The charlatan is indeed powerful." Shuichong suddenly felt much more at ease. He couldn't put all the pressure on himself, right? If his subordinates were capable, the pressure would be less.
Such a large-scale battle requires Shuichong to worry about a lot.
There were Ox-Head and Horse-Face on the other side, and Sea Knife and Yam on this side, which greatly relieved the pressure on the water bugs. The enemy's current round of attack was over, and the combat troops were rotating. The various brigades of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were also rotating in an orderly manner to assist the army in defending the city. The wounded were carried down and temporarily treated by specialized medical staff.
Shuichong suddenly discovered that the war in the Sea Tribe was becoming more and more detailed, and the chief no longer needed to worry about the details.
The Sea Tribe's war machine was constantly operating with precision, including the captains and squadron leaders of the Civilian Tribe, who were all key components of the war effort. The Second Priest only needed to arrange the general direction and rotations, which was much easier.
After years of war, Haifan City remained so orderly in the face of war. Was it due to the inertia of normal management? Everyone was used to it. What needs to be done? The captain is here. If the captain dies in battle, there is still the deputy captain. In short, you just need to do it.
The most frightening thing is not knowing what to do, which would be a mess and frustrating.
The offensive and defensive battles continued almost endlessly, although the time intervals between attacks became larger and larger. After seven days, roughly one attack a day was considered good.
Haifan City is tired, but isn’t the enemy tired too?
Fortunately, the main generals of Haifan City, Shuichong, Shanyao, Tiedan, Niutou, Mamian and Haidao are still there, the rotation is good, and everyone is in good spirits.
The enemy's attack was doomed to be hopeless. As I said before, there were too many people in Haifan City. The soldiers and the elderly and weak in Haifan City had suffered two to three thousand casualties. As the attacking party, the losses were of course even more severe.
Even if you cross the defensive ditch, what can you do? The seven-meter-high stone wall and the simple ladder are so simple that if there is an old man or child on top, a stone from them will kill you.
