Zhou Yi's past battles had mainly been encounters and ambushes. This was his first time besieging a city. Although he had launched a forced march to raid Shell City, upon arriving outside the city, he deliberately slowed his pace.
On the coast, new humans wielding firearms and Sea Horse Shooters were blocking him, but their attacks were more like harassment.
The battle at the city walls was much tougher.
Consecutively faced with Death Bubbles, Light-blocking Oil, and ambushes by sea warriors with Chain Light Blockers, Zhou Yi's side quickly countered, killing a large number of enemy warriors in a short period of time.
Systematic squad operations were indeed different. If it weren't for Duke Baili's forces being inadequate and the intelligence provided by Red Kestrel, this battle would not have looked as quickly decided as it appeared.
During the fight, Jade City coordinated for the first time with buildings 2, 3, and 4.
