Because Lin Tian's army did not attack the city, the Peacock Kingdom's troops suddenly relaxed their vigilance.
They even believed that Ye Wushuang's army would not dare to attack their Peacock Kingdom.
Because of this, every one of them was very smug.
However, by the next day, their expressions had suddenly changed.
Lin Tian's army, which they thought would not attack, suddenly moved on the second day.
Their army suddenly surrounded the city of the Peacock Royal Palace. Anyone who saw it knew that they intended to attack the Peacock Kingdom.
Because of this, the Peacock Kingdom's army was instantly in a panic.
"What, what's going on? Why did their army suddenly move? Are they going to attack us?"
"That's impossible, right? They, they weren't afraid of our city's defenses? Why would they suddenly attack us?"
"Unbelievable, this is simply unbelievable. What do these people want?"
The Peacock Kingdom's army did not know what Lin Tian's army intended to do, but a sense of unease slowly began to grow in their hearts.
They felt that things were getting out of their control.
The army they thought would not attack was suddenly going to attack, which made many of them instinctively feel panic.
Even the King of the Peacock Kingdom felt a sense of dread in his heart.
However, he quickly stabilized his emotions.
At this time, other ministers also spoke.
"Everyone, don't panic. Their army is not that formidable. Since they want to attack the city, let them attack!"
"What we need to do is defend our city and not give them any opportunities!"
"As long as we defend our city, they will naturally break without a fight and retreat on their own!"
With these words, everyone quickly quieted down.
Previously, they had already determined that Lin Tian's army was not capable.
Although Lin Tian's army's sudden move had startled them, they still held firm to their previous belief.
They still believed that Lin Tian's army was not capable.
Therefore, they had nothing to fear now; they just needed to do their part, and Lin Tian's army would naturally be unable to breach their city.
With this thought, everyone in the Peacock Kingdom's hearts felt relieved.
Their tense emotions were immediately eased.
"That's right! Our city defenses are clearly stronger than theirs. If that's the case, what are we afraid of!"
"Soldiers, don't be afraid. When they charge up, we'll just kill them. Moreover, I want to show them just how powerful we are!"
With these words, countless people immediately responded.
Then, they eagerly awaited Lin Tian's army to charge forward.
At this time, Lin Tian's army had long been prepared for the siege.
"Are all our siege weapons ready?"
"They are ready, but there aren't many, only three catapults!"
"Three catapults are enough. Coupled with our archers, their Peacock Royal Palace army will be no match for our attack!"
"As for the rest, they will follow me and hold their shields to attack their city gate!"
"Yes!"
Lin Tian's willingness to lead the charge against the city gate of the Peacock Kingdom's capital relieved his soldiers.
This was not because Lin Tian's soldiers lacked confidence in capturing the capital of the Peacock Kingdom, but because with Lin Tian's involvement, they had even more confidence.
After all, every time Lin Tian took action, it was a guaranteed victory, and this time would be no exception.
With Lin Tian leading the charge, they only needed to follow closely behind him.
Therefore, after Lin Tian issued his orders, the situation immediately underwent a huge change.
"All soldiers, heed my command, attack!"
"Kill!"
Lin Tian launched the attack, and the army behind him immediately charged with him.
As they charged, the soldiers of the Peacock Kingdom immediately became highly alert.
"Order our archers to be ready to fire at any moment!"
"At the same time, bring up our logs. As soon as they get close, immediately drop them!"
At this time, the Peacock Kingdom also had archers.
However, compared to Great Qin's archers, their archery craftsmanship was not high, and the power of the arrows they manufactured was far inferior to Great Qin's.
Of course, the people of the Peacock Kingdom were still unaware of this. They still cherished their arrows as treasures, solemnly drew their bows, and were ready to shoot at any moment.
As they drew their bows, Lin Tian's archers also drew theirs.
The next moment, they directly fired.
A volley of arrows, like a torrential downpour, headed straight for the Peacock Kingdom.
Seeing the densely packed arrows flying towards them, the soldiers of the Peacock Kingdom's mouths fell open in disbelief.
"How, how is this possible? They haven't reached the range of our arrows yet. Why are they actively shooting at us?"
"What's going on? Why are their arrows shot so high, and why can they shoot so far?"
"Dodge, dodge quickly! Their arrows are terrifying, everyone be careful and dodge!"
The dense hail of arrows made many of them instinctively feel a sense of danger.
Because of this, some of them instinctively dodged.
This evasion was very wise.
It was precisely because they dodged that they were fortunate enough to save their lives.
However, not everyone among them was so wise.
Many others were still stunned by the arrows flying towards them from the soldiers of Great Qin. They didn't even remember to dodge.
Within their understanding, at such a distance, arrows could not reach them.
Therefore, these people were shot and killed on the spot.
A large portion of them also had nowhere to dodge.
There were too many people on the city walls, with large crowds gathered there, making it impossible for many to find a place to hide.
Coupled with their lack of sturdy shields, many could only watch as the arrows landed on them.
Then, without even a cry, they met their tragic end.
This resulted in Lin Tian's soldiers taking away a large number of Peacock Kingdom soldiers with just one volley of arrows.
The remaining soldiers of the Peacock Kingdom all retreated into their defenses, not daring to show their heads.
