Ten feet outside the wall, there was a sudden shout, and the pirates raised their weapons and began to rush at an accelerated pace. They didn't just rush to the two gaps, many pirates climbed directly onto the houses, and it was obvious that the principals of the Dragon Palace were very aware that the other party had limited manpower and could not defend the entire defensive wall, so they ordered the pirates to forcibly climb the wall.

Hu Jing's archers had already retreated to the Sea God Temple, and they could no longer shoot arrows to stop the enemy for a while. Dozens of pirates soon climbed to the top of the wall, and many more had rushed through the unguarded gap.

The pirate archers' arrows had stopped by this time, because if they shot any more arrows, they would injure their own people. And Hua Bushi, who had never given an order, did not speak until this time: "Zhu Hong, form a formation in front of the steps to defend against the enemy!"

Zhu Hong replied yes and shouted: "Thorn Tiger Warrior, leave the position to form a formation, and meet the enemy in the position!"

It was too late to stop the pirates from storming the defensive walls. When the two hundred thorny tiger warriors formed a tiger fighting array, there were already hundreds of people from the Dragon Palace who rushed into the defensive wall, and there were constantly large numbers of pirates pouring in from the gap and climbing the wall, which had the potential to encircle and engulf the tiger fighting array in one fell swoop.

However, how could two hundred thorny tigers be swallowed so easily!

I only heard Zhu Honglian shouting a few times: "Gen, earthquake position, scatter! Kan, out of position, together!"

The original simple tiger fighting array, under Hua Bushi's careful addition, already had a set of instructions named after the Bagua direction, only to see the stabbing tiger warriors who formed a phalanx advance and retreat in an orderly manner, Hu'er scattered, Hu'er attacked, and in a moment, dozens of pirates close to the steps fell!

"Dry position, stab, Xun position, pounce!" Zhu Hong issued the command to attack.

The two hundred people in the Tiger Fighting Formation suddenly turned into two groups, interspersed with the large group of pirates, and then staggered and pounced, and dozens of corpses fell in an instant!

If the pirates only rushed into the defensive wall outside the Poseidon Temple, then they had already achieved their goal at this time. It's a pity that although they were able to rush in, they had to face a more ferocious attack than the previous round.

When Hua Bushi built this fortification, he did not leave much space inside the wall, and the defensive wall was only thirty zhang away from the steps of the Sea God Temple. Sima Rulan once thought that only such a little space would make the defenders have no room to maneuver, but they didn't know that these thirty zhang were the best distance for the two hundred thorny tiger warriors to attack in formation.

Hua Bushi built this wall, not to defend the wall, but to create a favorable terrain so that the power of the Tiger Fighting Array could be fully exerted.

The existence of this defensive wall not only slows down the speed of pirates rushing in, but also makes it difficult for them to get out once they enter. After all, the space for the two openings is limited, and whether you climb the wall to get in or out, it is not so fast.

Half of the hundreds of pirates who rushed into the wall were already down in a moment, while the pirates behind them continued to pour in, and the battle formation formed by the two hundred thorny tiger warriors was like a fierce tiger with a bloody mouth open, eating the fat that was delivered to its mouth bite by bite.

This time the fight was close at hand, and Sima Rulan could also see the assassination of the Tiger Warrior more clearly. Instead of dodging the weapons cut by the pirates, these native warriors pounced on each other quickly, and when they got close, they could kill their enemies in the blink of an eye, either by the shoulder, by the top of their heads, or by slashing with the short knives in their hands.

The so-called one inch long and one inch strong, one inch short and one inch dangerous, large-scale battle formations, heavy and long weapons have always been considered more lethal, the generals who have rushed to kill on the battlefield throughout the ages, most of the weapons used are spears and halberds, and the use of short blades that are only a few feet long and hand-to-hand combat is really dangerous.

However, as a dangerous price, this method of warfare is also the fastest to kill, two hundred tiger thorns pounce on the enemy, never need to use a second move, once the pirates who are not familiar with superior martial arts are close to the tiger thorns, the assassination of two short blades is irresistible to them.

Because of this, after a few staggered changes in the Tiger Fighting Formation, the pirates fell like straw in pieces, and soon turned into a one-sided slaughter.

After several rounds of fighting, most of the black cloth clothes on their bodies were torn apart, revealing the shiny helmets and breastplates that they wore closely, and the original silver-white stainless steel armor was soon dyed red by blood and turned into a red color.

In the distance, the sound of gongs sounded again, and the pirates rolled and turned back, and in the blink of an eye, they retreated a hundred feet away.

This round of attacks, starting from the arrow raid, only lasted for half a pillar of incense, and the corpses left by the pirates in front of the steps of the Sea God Temple were as many as six or seven hundred, and the number of losses was more than double the previous one.

This time, the Tiger Assassin was alone to meet the enemy, without the support of archers, but he had the advantage of the location to rely on, and used the Tiger Fighting Array to eat the pirates who rushed into the wall in one bite, and the damage was still not much, only eleven people were injured, three of them were slightly more seriously injured, and the other eight were slightly injured on the flesh and skin.

One of the benefits of the Tiger Fight Formation is that the number of people in the formation is not limited. Zhu Hong ordered the wounded to go out and bandage, and the three seriously wounded were carried aside, while the rest were still standing in front of the steps.

Now the third watch has passed, and it is the darkest time in the long night, the moon is long gone, and the sky seems to have been stained purple and gray with blood, and it is a misty chaos, and even the stars seem dim.

Hua Bushi stood on the steps, looked at the pirates in the distance, and muttered: "Two impacts, damage a thousand people, the next attack on the other party should be a gamble, right?"

"Even if those pirates rush over, we will definitely be able to win!" It was Sima Rulan, who was standing with a sword beside Hua Bushi, who spoke.

After repelling the two major attacks of the pirates, all the doubts in her heart had been gone, and she was full of confidence in the fortifications that the eldest young master had built, and the combat power of the Tiger Assassin under the steps.

Hua Bushi smiled slightly, and said: "Where in the world will there be a battle that will win the battle, not to mention that now that the enemy is outnumbered, the outcome is even more unpredictable." We can only see the moves, and let's see what the other party's principal is capable of!"

This time, the Dragon Palace tribe did not rush forward.

The three of them stood on the stone steps in front of the Sea God Temple, and waited for half an hour before the torches in the distance began to shake again, and then the figures crowded, and the black pirate centaurs slowly moved over. The attack was much slower than the previous two charges, and the pirates formed a dense formation in a very neat formation, somewhat like the momentum of an orthodox army.

And the route of the brigade of pirates was not like the previous two times along the path in the city, but ran straight in the direction of the Sea God Temple, and with a few muffled sounds, the houses in front of them actually collapsed one by one!

Seeing this scene, Sima Rulan was taken aback, and said with a frown: "What kind of sound is that? Didn't they pull out the artillery?"

Hua Bushi stared at it for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be." These pirates had to run back and forth, and they didn't have guns with them in order to move lightly, and they hadn't seen any explosions just now. I suspect they probably just cut down trees from outside the city and improvised some catapults. ”

In addition to relying on the power of the tiger fighting array formed by the Tiger Thorns, the defensive wall built by Hua Bushi also undoubtedly played a very key role in the previous two charges to repel the pirates. The principal on the opposite side was obviously aware of this, so this time he specially brought siege equipment, wanting to take every step of the way, not hesitating to destroy all the houses along the way, and not leaving any buildings that could be used for defense.

Although these improvised catapults were rough and had a range of only about 20 zhang, they were not enough to attack the fortified city, but they were more than enough to deal with the low houses in the city and the rudimentary defensive walls built by Hua Bushi.

In this way, the Thorn Tigers have no terrain advantage to rely on, and can only fight the pirates head-on.

"Then what should we do, or Lan'er and Sister Jiangyi will rush over and destroy those catapults!"

Hua Bushi shook his head and said, "No." Since the other party uses this strategy, they will definitely take strict precautions against catapults, and even if they destroy these planes, they can still rebuild them, which is of little use. ”

He suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, if the other party wants a decisive battle, we will fight a decisive battle with them! Defense is not the way to win, defeat these three thousand pirates in one fell swoop, see if the Black Dragon King can't come out!"

Hua Bushi coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Hong, as soon as the pirates are close to the stone wall thirty zhang, you will lead the Tiger Thorns to rush out in two ways and kill them by surprise!"

If you can't hold it, it's better to attack it, and the offense is the most haode defense!

If the Dragon Palace tribe had attacked in this way from the beginning, Hua Bushi would definitely not dare to let the Tiger Thorn Warrior rush out like this. Although these indigenous warriors have been trained for more than four months and have become familiar with superior sword skills, they have never experienced combat after all, and their experience and confidence are still lacking.

However, with the previous two defense battles, every Tiger Thorn has killed blood, and the two defeats of pirates have also brought them strong confidence. The so-called "long-term battle becomes a strong force", these indigenous teenagers were selected from the beginning with a strong heart as the most important criterion, and they themselves have a deep hatred for pirates, after these two battles, it is enough to change the entire war department.

Zhu Hong's two thick eyebrows twisted together, and said: "We have all attacked, if the pirates rush to the front of the Sea God Temple, I am afraid that we will not be able to defend ourselves!"

Leading two hundred thorn tiger warriors to meet three thousand pirates, Zhu Hong was not afraid, but what he was worried about was the safety of his master Hua Bushi.

Hua Bushi smiled and said: "You form a formation to attack and fight with the pirates outside the wall, the opponent's brigade should not be able to rush in, even if there is a small group of pirates attacking, with my sister and Miss Lan'er by my side, plus the protection of two hundred archers, it should be fine." ”
