Chapter 151: All or Nothing
It was completely different from the situation yesterday.
Facing this intense arrow suppression, trying to juggle both sides was impossible, and it would only lead to a complete collapse.
He could only choose to fully suppress either the siege unit or the archer unit.
Zhao Pan, whose spirit had also reached 4-stars, possessed a resilient will and a heart that could withstand immense pressure.
Even in this situation, he made the correct judgment, choosing to fully suppress the enemy’s siege unit!
On the high ground outside the Iron Wall Tribe, Zhang Yisheng’s face darkened as he watched the slinger units decisively switch targets and begin to fully suppress his siege unit with their stone projectiles.
He then let out an enraged laugh.
“Hahahaha, interesting!”
“Let’s see who’s more ruthless!”
“Will my archer unit destroy your defending unit first, or will your slinger unit crush my siege unit first?”
At this moment, Zhang Yisheng was prepared to pay a certain price.
However, he believed that if he defeated such a troublesome opponent, the resources he plundered and the final system’s battle evaluation would definitely not disappoint him!
As the number of casualties increased in the siege battle, the tension between both sides grew.
During this time, Zhao Pan, who had been loudly commanding the slinger unit, now had a clear hoarseness in his voice, and the pressure on him was mounting.
“How many stone projectiles are left?!”
“There are only forty nine stone projectiles left!”
Zhao Pan’s heart sank when he heard that number.
He then loudly asked.
“What about the stones the mining team dug up overnight yesterday?!”
“Time was too short, those stones haven’t been polished yet.”
“We can’t worry about that right now! Bring them all over! Slinger unit, don’t stop attacking! Prepare to throw all stone projectiles!”
Upon hearing the command, the slinger soldiers gritted their teeth and raised their aching arms, once again swinging their slings.
At the same time, outside the Iron Wall Tribe, Zhang Yisheng’s archer unit was in a similar state.
The continuous, high-frequency drawing of bows severely drained their arm strength.
Many archers in the unit felt their bow drawing arms trembling.
“Don’t stop attacking!”
“The enemy is about to collapse!!”
Zhang Yisheng activated his Inspire Morale skill again in a short period.
He gritted his teeth, they had fought so hard, so there was no reason to back down now.
Both sides continued their attacks.
On the Iron Wall Tribe’s side, Zhao Pan’s face was so grim that it looked like water would drip from it.
After exhausting the last forty nine stone projectiles and switching to unpolished stones, the slinger soldiers’ accuracy was greatly reduced due to the varying sizes and irregular shapes of the stones.
The previously dense stone projectile suppression instantly became scattered after losing its accuracy, and the pressure on the enemy’s siege unit significantly decreased!
Seeing this, Zhang Yisheng, standing on the high ground, roared with excitement.
“Push forward! Push forward at full speed!”
“Hahahahahahaha!!”
Zhang Yisheng was not disappointed.
The siege unit, with greatly reduced pressure, seized the opportunity and pushed the heavy siege vehicle forward.
The siege vehicle, scarred by the stone projectiles, violently crashed into the tightly shut city gate with a thud!
This loud bang directly struck the hearts of every soldier in the camp, making them feel a suffocating sensation.
The slightly shaking city gate caused everyone’s expressions to change, and their morale plummeted.
If Zhao Pan’s Immovable as a Mountain talent hadn’t locked their last 60 points of morale, the impact of that moment alone would have likely caused their morale to collapse.
Behind the city gate, Liu Zheng continuously brandished his battle-axe, sweeping away all the arrows flying toward him.
With a deeply furrowed brow, he recalled the chief’s repeated instructions from several months ago.
If the Iron Wall Tribe were to fall due to some mishap, he was to personally lead the troops to break through at the last moment!
“Slinger uni, retreat!”
“Shield-axe unit, hold the city gate!”
Zhao Pan had not given up. He would not resign himself to defeat until the very last second!
The Iron Wall Tribe, established by the chief, was being breached under his watch?
This was something he absolutely could not tolerate or accept!
“Think of something!”
“Quickly, think of something!”
At this moment, Zhao Pan’s mind was racing.
Then, a flash of inspiration struck him.
“I’ve got it! Use the method the chief used before, open half the city gate, intentionally let some of the enemy troops in, then suddenly close the gate, splitting the enemy forces in two. As long as we control the numbers, if they’re divided into two groups, with Liu Zheng’s strength…”
“No, it’s too much! We can’t hold it! The city gate is about to fall!”
A panicked shout caused Zhao Pan’s plan to be collapse instantly before it could even be implemented.
The plan itself wasn’t wrong, but he had overlooked one thing, the specifications of the Mirror Tribe’s city gate were different from those of the Iron Wall Tribe’s city gate.
On one hand, to quickly complete a circle of ancient city walls, and on the other, to save human resources, both the Iron Wall Tribe’s ancient city walls and the even earlier Black Rock Tribe’s ancient city walls were significantly smaller in scale than the Mirror Tribe’s ancient city walls.
In other words, the Mirror Tribe’s city gate could withstand dozens of impacts from enemy siege vehicles without falling, but that did not mean the Iron Wall Tribe’s city gate could do the same!
Zhao Pan had clearly overlooked this.
Watching the city gate crash down and a flood of enemies surge in, his face turned pale.
The pressure that had accumulated over several months almost crushed him at this moment.
“Shield-axe unit, quickly block the entrance!”
Zhao Pan, who had barely managed to hold on, was still making a final struggle.
Meanwhile, Liu Zheng immediately rushed to Zhao Pan’s side.
This was the person Luo Ji had specifically and repeatedly instructed him to protect at all costs if anything went wrong!
“Old Zhao, when the fighting starts, seize the opportunity.”
“We’ll break through and kill our way out in one go!”
Liu Zheng lowered his voice and reminded Zhao Pan, whose face was pale.
Hearing this, Zhao Pan’s expression carried a hint of complexity.
“Break through, you say…”
Seeing Zhao Pan’s demeanor, Liu Zheng’s heart skipped a beat.
In terms of intellect, he was indeed not as smart as Zhao Pan, but he wasn’t blind.
Coupled with their months of interaction, their friendship was already deep.
He knew how strong Zhao Pan’s sense of responsibility was.
Now that the Iron Wall Tribe’s city gate had been breached, who knew what thoughts he might harbor.
“Hey, Old Zhao, now’s not the time for you to overthink things.”
“The Iron Wall Tribe being breached is something I also bear half the responsibility for, but whether we live or die, or what punishment we receive, that’s for the leader to decide!”
“Don’t you dare act on your own before the leader speaks!”
Liu Zheng’s unexpected words instantly sobered Zhao Pan, who had been feeling that he had betrayed the chief’s trust, was ashamed to face Luo Ji, and intended to die for the city.
“You’re right! Whether I live or die, it’s for the chief to decide!”
With this thought, Zhao Pan’s pale eyes gleamed with the ferocity of a man-eating beast.
“All slinger soldiers, switch to shield-axe equipment!”
“If we’re going to die anyway, then even in death, I’ll make these outsiders pay a painful price!”
