"Stop shooting! Stop shooting! Archers, aim at these ladders. Shoot them down one by one as they come down." Yun Zhe said, and then saw an arrow fly over and embed itself in the stone wall behind him.
"Shield bearers! Shield bearers!" A dozen huge shields were erected, effectively blocking the enemy archers from killing their own men.

Yun Zhe swung his longsword and slashed forward. He quickly felled three people, but unfortunately, he was also shot in the shoulder by an archer, leaving him in a sorry state.
