Chapter 242: Night Attack

The darkness before dawn is the deepest time of the day.

Even the stars were hidden in the inky sky, and there was not a single ray of light.

Inside the watchtower of Falling Dragon Pass, the sentry guarding the city tried to hold up their sleepy eyelids and stare at the darkness outside.

The veteran next to him slapped him and shouted in a low voice: "Be sober, the guard will change immediately, don't go wrong." ”

The young soldier yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and smiled nonchalantly: "Lao Li, what are you worried about, the Falling Dragon Pass is still a few miles away from the Chiyan Mountain Range, if the demon beast rushes over, we can't see it?"

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. ”

The veteran who called Lao Li thumped his back and added some kerosene to the oil lamp in the watchtower, "As a sentry, we must do our job well." ”

The young soldier shrank back and cursed in a low voice, this damn night was especially cold.

He rubbed his hands vigorously and said hatefully: "What a broken sentry, I still have to stand here in the middle of the night to be frozen! I only hate that I was not selected to go to the army to fight, and I heard that soldiers who go out to fight can get a lot of money every month, which is enough to go to the city to drink a meal of flower wine!"

"Recruit, what's so good about fighting?"

"Go into battle to kill the enemy, defend your home and country, and make a name for yourself!" said the young soldier excitedly, "I heard that this time the monster beasts are gathering, and a group of beasts who are not intelligent and intelligent are not killed casually! If I can also go out with the army, I will definitely be able to mix with the guerrilla general." ”

His tone was full of regret and unwillingness, as if there was a lot of fame and fortune piled up under the Chiyan Mountain Range, but he didn't have his share.

The veteran sighed, his cloudy eyes staring at the flickering flames in the kerosene lamp, "Fighting, but people will die." ”

The young soldier showed disdain in his eyes, and laughed at him and said: "Lao Li, you are just afraid of death, and you have only lived in this small watchtower all your life, and you can't even marry a daughter-in-law!"

The veteran snorted, noncommittal, the flickering fire of the oil lamp reflected on his ravine-crisscrossed face, full of the wind and frost of the years.

"Wait, I have to slaughter a few demon beasts and get out of this watchtower......"

The young soldier was still babbling to himself, and the veteran suddenly waved his hand and pressed his mouth!

Silence had regained in all directions, save for the faint crackling of the wick being scorched by the flames.

"Lao Li, you are nervous again, and you are startled......" The young soldier pushed away the veteran's hand, and just as he wanted to say something, he saw the veteran make a silent gesture.

"Shh

The veteran's face was solemn, he raised his hand to extinguish the oil lamp, and lay on the watchtower, "Listen!"

The young soldier's heart tightened, and he also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

In the silence of the night, there was a slight "cluster" sound!

Like the gentle sound of the wind blowing through the weeds, or like the small crumbling sound of insects crawling past.

As the two of them held their breath, the "cluster" sound became clearer and faster!

The young soldier's heart couldn't help but be stirred up by the sound, he didn't know what was happening, he could only be sure that something was getting closer and closer to the Falling Dragon Pass!

"Cluster!"

The voice stopped abruptly, and suddenly disappeared completely.

The young soldier only felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, and he looked at the thick darkness outside, and his heart was like a cat.

He plucked up his courage, took out his torch and lit it, and threw it out of the watchtower.

The blazing torches pierced the thick darkness and drew a bright arc.

By the blinding light of the fire, the young soldier finally saw the scene outside.

One after another, demon beasts of different shapes are crawling under the city tower, opening their huge mouths!

The torch fell to the ground and was extinguished in an instant, and the shadows of beasts in the darkness in the distance were numerous, not to mention thousands!

Outside the Falling Dragon Pass, there are already soldiers coming to the city!

The young soldier was speechless in shock, and the demon beasts of the Chiyan Mountain Range took advantage of the thick night as a cover, and did not let out a little roar, quietly crawling all the way forward, and raided the Falling Dragon Pass at dawn!

At the last moment when the fire was extinguished, the young soldier saw a colorful poisonous snake spitting red letters, and opened its mouth to shoot a poisonous arrow at him!

He was so frightened that he stood still, forgetting to dodge.

Bang! The veteran suddenly knocked him to the side, and the poisoned arrow shot at the veteran's face, and the ferocious venom instantly burned the veteran's eyes!

"Lao Li!" The young soldier reacted and jumped up and hugged the veteran, but when he saw that the veteran was angry and poisonous, he was about to die!

The veteran fought with his last strength and pushed him hard: "Quick, go quickly...... Go and ring the alarm!"

The young soldier wept in grief and understood the sorrow of the veteran's words, and he put down the corpse of the veteran and stumbled to the alarm bell.

"Enemy attack!

Knock! Knock!

The piercing alarm bells resounded throughout the Falling Dragon Pass, constantly echoing on this border fortress that had been peaceful for a long time!

Everyone was awakened from their sleep, and the soldiers, urged by the captain's shouting, hurriedly put on their armor, took up their weapons, and rushed to their positions as ordered.

Bands of soldiers weave through the fortress, torches light up on the walls, and archers line up their arrows!

In the blink of an eye, the Falling Dragon Pass was brightly lit and armed to the teeth, this long-sleeping war beast, after a hundred years, woke up again!

Tonight, there was a sudden emergency call, and the demon beast god had already raided outside the fortress without knowing it.

All the soldiers were originally drunk, but fortunately, they all had cultivation in their bodies, and their aura was relieved of their drunkenness, and they hurried to the city tower.

Xiao Yu and Duan Yuxi were particularly sober, and they were the first to rush to the city tower, seeing the surging beast tide under the Falling Dragon Pass.

If ordinary people fall, even if they are lucky enough not to be crushed, they will be torn into eight pieces by the demon beasts and swallowed into their stomachs!

Zhang Chi stood on the city tower, looking at the dense herd of beasts below, and only felt that his scalp was numb.

His face was gloomy, and he scolded in a low voice: "Damn demon beast, I didn't expect to know how to attack in the dark!"

"They don't have that intelligence yet. Xiao Yu's face was solemn, and he looked at the beasts downstairs and said, "They are all miscellaneous fish in the Demon Primal Realm, the highest is not even the Fifth Heaven, and some are not even demon beasts, they are just ordinary fierce beasts." ”

I saw a group of beasts outside the Falling Dragon Pass, with different postures, and even the natural enemies of life and death appeared at the same time, but they were surprisingly safe together.

All the monsters stared at the soldiers on the city wall with their cold eyes open.

If it weren't for the great power controlling these monsters behind their backs, where would they have such wisdom?

"Damn, it's really a sperm!"

Zhang Chi snatched the bow and arrow from the soldier next to him and bent the bow and pulled it.

"Whew!"

The long arrow made a clear sound in the silent night sky, and the white aura slashed through the air with a faint tail.

"Boom!"

The long arrow infused with spiritual energy shot into the body of a demon wolf, and it was blown apart in an instant, and the aftermath spread to several surrounding demon beasts, and they were blown to pieces together.

There was a commotion from the surrounding demon beasts, but they just shook their heads anxiously, and there was no movement anymore.

"What are they waiting for when they surround the Falling Dragon Pass and don't attack?"

Xiao Yu's eyes were deep, looking at the darkness in the distance.

There seemed to be a trumpet in the darkness, and all the demon beasts lowered their heads and whimpered in their throats.

Thousands of demon beasts whimpered in the dark night, like evil ghosts wailing, and it was terrifying to hear.

A white wolf suddenly slowly walked out of the darkness behind the herd.

The white wolf was extremely huge, one eye was already blind, and the only remaining one eye shone with a clear light, and glanced at the soldiers on the city tower fiercely.

It let out a creepy howl when it looked up to the sky, glanced at Zhang Chi playfully, and retreated back into the darkness.

In an instant, all the demon beasts burst out with different howls, and the voices of thousands of demon beasts converged, converging into a deafening roar outside the Falling Dragon Pass!

They jumped from the ground and rushed to the city gates without fear!

"Shoot the arrows!"

Zhang Chi shouted sharply, and a dense rain of arrows fell, and most of the demon beasts in the front row were killed and injured.

The beasts behind rushed up one after another, stepping on the corpses of their companions and continuing to attack!

"Kill these brutes!"

The bravery and bloodiness of the warriors were stimulated, and the long arrows in their hands continued, killing the demon beasts one by one outside the pass.

"Boom!"

Falling rocks and rolling logs fell one after another, smashing the demon beasts that tried to jump on the city wall in vain.

Blazing oil was poured on his head, and a raging fire burned outside the city, and a terrible howl broke out among the beasts.

Pieces of garrison weapons were thrown into the herd, causing bursts of wails and blood!

The flames outside the Falling Dragon Pass were full of wolf smoke, and the originally dark and silent night was burned red by the fire, intertwined with the howls of demon beasts and the shouts of soldiers.

The war has begun!

Zhang Chi stood on the city wall, commanding groups of soldiers to change alternately, and after a rain of arrows, the soldiers behind immediately stepped forward and shot the same dense rain of arrows.

But even though the attack was so close, the demon beasts outside the gate still followed one after another, tirelessly slamming the city gate, and their numbers did not decrease in the slightest.

Rushing out of the darkness and joining the besieging herd, they stepped on the corpses of the monsters in front of them and frantically tried to leap onto the city walls.

Although the city wall of Falling Dragon Pass was built very high, there were more and more corpses of demon beasts outside the pass, and they gradually piled up under the city wall, getting higher and higher.

The constantly jumping demon beasts are showing their teeth and claws, and some even leap hard, and they have been able to climb the city tower!

Zhang Chi's adjutant drew his knife and cut off the body of a demon wolf, and roared vigorously: "It can't go on like this, these beasts will attack the city wall sooner or later! General, hurry up and give the order!"

Zhang Chi's face was like sinking water, and he turned around and looked solemnly at the few sect disciples who had already been gathered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to defend your home and country. There are too many beasts, and they are about to rush to the city wall, and the city gate has been blocked, and our soldiers can't rush out at all!"

"What does General Zhang Chi command!"

Xiao Yu stepped out of the crowd, his eyes dancing with flames.

He listened to the monstrous roar of the soldiers in the Falling Dragon Pass, and only felt that his breath was short and his blood was boiling.

Zhang Chi was resolute in his eyes, and he clenched his fists and said: "Please also ask you to fight your way out of the siege and clear a place at the city gate, so I can rest assured to open the city gate and send troops to fight back!"

"It's a trivial matter, so why worry about it. ”

The blue water sword on Cangyun's waist was already unsheathed, and he smiled sadly, "A few kittens and puppies, it's easy to kill them." ”

Tianluozi, Liang Bao and others on the side were also gearing up, and their eyes were full of excitement.

Xiao Yu stepped on the city wall first, he raised his eyes and looked, there were many monsters and corpses all over the place.

In the darkness of the distance, the tide of beasts is surging, like locusts entering the battlefield and constantly joining the battlefield!

He turned around, and the skyrocketing fire gilded him with a black silhouette.

Xiao Yu looked at the several sect disciples who were ready to go, and smiled slightly: "Gentlemen, the feast has begun!"

Then he leaned over and jumped from the wall!
