Chapter 229 Tribulation
Everyone looking at the snake people's army instantly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and was under tremendous pressure.

Nalan Zhun stood beside Gu Fengchen, holding the hilt of his knife with a solemn expression, overlooking the army below the city, and said in a deep voice: "After breaking through the ring city, the snake people have seized the cannons, crossbows, and even siege equipment from the soldiers defending the city. Their overall strength is stronger than ours at the middle level. Now with these siege equipment, plus the three Dou Wang masters Nanshe, Yue Mei, and Mobas, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend this Mo City."

Nalan Jun did not tell his soldiers about the battle situation because it would disrupt the morale of the army.

However, he must tell Gu Fengchen this information, because as a combat commander, he must know enough information to make good tactical arrangements. "

Gu Fengchen narrowed his eyes. He was not very familiar with military tactics, but he had some understanding. So, he gave his own suggestion: "Now that their army is approaching, can we bypass their troops and retake the ring city? In this way, the enemy will attack us from both sides!"

Nalan Zhun shook his head: "It's not that simple. The leader of the snake tribe this time is Nanshe. He has read the art of war. Although he is not proficient in it, he will be more or less prepared against us. At least he has left a certain amount of troops to defend the city and then clear the countryside.

After these days of fierce fighting, our military supplies are a bit out of date. We have a limited number of artillery pieces. If we lose too many in the siege, it would be fine if we succeed in taking the city. But if we fail in the siege and fail to take the city, we will most likely end up losing both the lady and the troops."

Gu Fengchen nodded slightly. He had indeed thought a little hastily.

At this time, Gu Fengchen's ears moved and he looked towards the official road not far away.

He narrowed his eyes and said to Nalan Zhun, "What is that official road over there used for?"

"Transporting grain." Nalan Zhun replied.

"Damn it!"

Gu Fengchen cursed.

It seems that the snake people are planning to surround this desert city into an isolated city, and let the defenders inside fight like trapped beasts!
The troops transporting food and fodder were marching quickly through the mountains and forests, when at this moment, there was a muffled sound!
The sound was like a sharp metal spike piercing into dozens of wet papers stacked together, and the feather arrow shot hard into the horse of the grain cart.

Suddenly, after one of the horses died, the other horse rioted, the grain cart overturned instantly, and the grain transport team was in chaos.

"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!" the captain of the grain transport convoy shouted loudly.

Soon, these well-trained Gama Empire soldiers responded quickly.

Although the Gama Empire had been peaceful for a long time and no major conflicts had broken out for a long time, the snake people and the other two empires had always been eyeing the Gama Empire covetously.

Therefore, these soldiers of the Gama Empire usually maintain high-intensity training and do not panic when facing a crisis.

Dense array of feather arrows shot out from the dense forest.

Ever since the snake people learned to use weapons, their threat to the Gama Empire has been increasing.

"Stand up your shield!"

The captain of the guards gave orders angrily.

The next moment, with the sound of a mechanism, countless arrows like a rainstorm shot out from the dense forest.

The feather arrows pierced the air, making a whistling sound, which instantly made the whistling wind disappear without a trace, and it seemed particularly terrifying.

All the Gama Empire soldiers raised their shields and quickly fell down.

Fortunately, the mountain path in this woodland was paved with rotten pine leaves that had been there for hundreds or thousands of years, so it was not very painful to fall down suddenly!
