Chapter 750: If You Can't Keep It, You Have to Keep It!
Because of the invasion of the Hundred Tribes, the people of the southern border area were displaced, and half of them had fled to the north, while the remaining people who did not flee had gathered in various large cities. *pine萝small* said that these small villages and towns are weak in strength, and they are powerless to resist in the face of the beast tide, and if they continue to stay, they will only die in the mouth of the beast.
This has also caused a large influx of refugees in various large cities, and no matter how large the city is, it is limited and cannot accommodate too many refugees, and those who cannot accommodate it can only be turned away. In the beginning, it was not uncommon to see groups of refugees migrating from the land, that is, the people who had not been able to enter the city, and wanted to find other cities to take refuge. But now, it is no longer visible, within a few days of the beast tide invading the Southern Perimeter Domain, it has almost swept the wild area, and the people who have not entered the city and have not escaped from the Southern Perimeter Domain are naturally unable to survive in the beast tide.
It can be said that in just a few days, the loss of the human race is a million, but this is a helpless thing, almost all the defended cities can accommodate the number of people to the limit, if you reluctantly accept refugees, you can't bear it but will drag down the city to fall, and then more people will die.
For example, the current Xuzhou City, in addition to the resisting army, there are more than 2 million people in the city, once Xuzhou falls, it will definitely fall into hell on earth.
The three of them flew for half a day, and finally approached Xuzhou, still two hundred miles away, the thick smell of blood has already entered the nose, originally there are many hills and mountains around Xuzhou, but at this time they have all been razed to the ground, as far as the eye can see, the land is scorched black, and there are potholes everywhere, these are the traces left by the first line of defense in the early stage of the invasion of the beast tide.
At that time, the range of two hundred miles around Xuzhou City became a battlefield, and the battle was extremely fierce, even if two months have passed now, the smell of blood has not dissipated, and on the ground battlefield, you can see a lot of corpses everywhere, among which there are people and beasts, but almost all of them have turned into white bones. Two months certainly didn't allow the corpses to completely decompose, and these white bones were left behind after being eaten clean by the beast tide outside the city.
This is also the horror of the beast tide, they don't need supplies, they don't need logistics, wherever they go, they will devour everything around them, even if it is their own corpse, it will become their food.
Although this kind of picture is not uncommon in this year, all three of them still frowned.
When they approached a hundred miles away from Xuzhou City, the earth-shattering shouts and roars came into their ears, accompanied by loud rumblings.
Wen Renye was shocked: "It's not good, it's the hundred clans attacking the city! Let's hurry up!"
The three of them sped up, but they didn't expect that they had just happened to encounter the siege of the hundred tribes, so they had to hurry up and send this batch of supplies into the city.
After advancing for dozens of miles, I saw that on the other side of the horizon, on the plain, a huge city, like a scarred giant, was lying on the earth, and on all sides of the city, the black and oppressive beasts, as far as the eye could see, were launching a fierce impact on the city wall.
"Let's go!" Wen Renye and Chen Feng glanced at each other and rushed up at the same time.
"Damn, these beasts can't be killed!"
On the city wall of Xuzhou, a tall middle-aged general wearing black armor, holding a big knife that emits blood, constantly slashes and kills the fierce beasts that rush to the city wall.
In the sky overhead, flocks of flying beasts such as flaming eagles and demon vultures were trying to fly over the city walls and rush into the city.
But they didn't get past the city wall, and in mid-air they seemed to hit an invisible wall, falling one after another, some of them were too fast, and they made waves on the wall, and they were also shaken into a cloud of flesh and blood, and sprinkled the sky with blood.
The defenders on the city wall also set up bows and arrows and crossbows one after another, shooting the fierce beasts in the sky, preventing them from getting close to the big array, but there were too many of them, and the speed of shooting could not even catch up with the speed of their replenishment.
The city wall of Xuzhou City is the foundation of the Great Array, and the Great Array is the existence of protecting the entire city.
This big array is an eight-rank formation master, and the seven seven-rank formation venerables have joined forces to set it up, and it can even resist the attack of the emperor realm, as long as the beast king of the holy realm does not make a move, it will be difficult to break under the holy realm.
Originally, in this war, there was more than one beast king of the hundred clans, but fortunately, there was no beast king on the side of Xuzhou City, and the one who commanded the beast tide was the powerhouse of the hundred tribes of the three emperor realms, and there were only two emperor realm powers of the human race in the city, but with the existence of the big array, they could still be blocked for a while.
However, the Great Array is not omnipotent, and maintaining a large array of this size requires the consumption of a large amount of spirit stones and manpower at all times.
In the first month, the opposite side could not attack, and they also discovered this, so they chose the method of besiegement, and the three emperor beasts no longer attacked, but these low-level beast tides continued to attack, intending to consume the power of the large array.
The Terran defenders in the city knew the plans of the other side, but they were helpless, after all, the direct strength of the two sides, the Terran was at a disadvantage, and they couldn't go out of the city to confront it head-on, forcing the three emperor beasts to make a move, so they could only rely on the strength of the large array to defend. And the endless attacks of these ordinary beast tides, although they can't break the big array, they will greatly increase the consumption of the big array.
If it goes on like this, there will be no need for the three emperor beasts to make a move, and the big array will not last for another three days, but it can't take the initiative to lift the big array, after all, the three big emperor beasts are still hiding outside the city, and they may make a move at any time. In order to reduce the consumption of the formation, the defenders in the city could only stand on the city wall, constantly slashing the beast tide that tried to impact the large array.
The attack had been going on for a day, and the defenders on the walls were exhausted and wounded, but the beast tide had no intention of retreating. The beast tide does not retreat, and the defenders here cannot be withdrawn, because under the continuous wear, the strength of the large array has begun to be unstable, and it is gradually weakening, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold out for three days.
When the time comes, once the big array is broken, then Xuzhou City will undoubtedly fall.
Therefore, although the Terran defenders on the city wall were very tired and most of them were wounded, they still persevered in resisting the beast tide.
"Damn, there are no reinforcements, and there are no supplies, so I can't hold it at all!" On the western city wall, the commander Ye Yuanbai pierced the head of a high-level fierce python in the imperial realm with one shot, gritting his teeth.
The two Emperor Realm powerhouses in the city, in order to guard against the three emperor beasts opposite, did not dare to take action easily, so as not to consume their strength and be found by the opposite side to take advantage of it, so the backbone of the defenders now is a group of Zun Realm powerhouses led by Ye Yuanbai, distributed on the four city walls to resist the enemy.
Ye Yuanbai practiced the Divine Dao of the Battle Ge City Army, no more than three hundred years old, and he was already the strength of the Nine Levels of the Zun Realm, except for the two emperors in the city, he was the highest, but he fought for a whole day and a night, and killed a full four Zun Realm fierce beasts, and now it is also extremely expensive, and he does not dare to shoot at will, only when those high-level fierce beasts at the peak of the Emperor Realm or the Zun Realm are about to rush to the city wall, they will shoot and kill.
Now the defenders on the city wall are basically composed of monks from the major sects and families in the Southern Zhou Region, and after attacking the southern regions and the native of the human race, the main force of the attack of the hundred tribes has changed from the previous ordinary beast tide to the fierce beast tide, which is not something that ordinary people can resist.
And Ye Yuanbai is a monk who was also born in Zhan Ge City, and was once a partial general under the command of Xuan Zhen, the minister of Zhan Ge.
Although the city of Zhan Ge has fallen, almost all the soldiers who stayed behind with the generalissimo of Zhan Ge have died in battle, but Zhan Ge City has not been completely destroyed, in addition to the army that Zhu Xuanzhen brought to the small world, there are also some troops who patrol the southern border all year round, and the generals who followed the city lord Zhan Tianqiong to the Tianchen Domain to participate in the Wanzong Conference a year ago. Ye Yuanbai is one of them.
At this time, a year has passed, and the whereabouts of the soldiers of Zhu Xuanzhen and the small world of Zhan Ge City are still unknown, the entrance to the small world is in the Nanzheng Domain, and at this time, the Nanzheng Domain has already fallen, and they are afraid that they are blocked in the small world and it is difficult to return. There is not one of the remaining generals in the outside world, but they have basically become the commanders of the Terran coalition forces in the southern regions today.
After all, the Terran Beast Race has not set off a major war for many years, and the current middle level of the Terran Immortal Cultivation Realm is difficult to adapt to this level of war, and the remaining generals of Zhan Ge City may not be considered high in cultivation, but they have been stationed on the southern border for many years to resist the invasion of the Beast Clan, and they are the most experienced.
Ye Yuanbai already knew that Xuzhou City's armament was insufficient and it was difficult to support it for too long, so he tried to send people to break through and ask for help as early as ten days ago.
However, it has been a few days since they broke through, but there is still no news.
"Could it be that Xuzhou City really can't hold it?" Ye Yuanbai thought to himself.
But the next moment, he immediately dispelled this thought.
"There are still millions of soldiers and civilians in the city, once the city is broken, no one will be spared, even if you can't defend it, you have to defend it!"
He recalled Wan Chenghe's words before leaving.
"General Ye, Xuzhou City is the place where his subordinates were born, and his subordinates will definitely come back, before his subordinates come back, please help his subordinates guard it!"
"Chenghe, Chenghe, Ben is still holding on, you must come back!" Ye Yuanbai thought silently in his heart, and at this moment, someone shouted.
"It's a Venerable Realm beast again, two heads!"
Ye Yuanbai was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly looked, and sure enough, he saw that in the beast tide in the west of the city, two powerful beasts as high as more than 100 zhang, like a small mountain, appeared, and were coming towards the city wall.
"Damn!" Ye Yuanbai didn't have much Zhenyuan left at this time, and he was probably very difficult to face the two Venerable Realm beasts, but he still gritted his teeth and was ready to rush forward to resist.
At this moment, I saw that on the edge of the sky, two streams of light came rapidly, like two meteors, rushing towards the two Venerable Realm beasts respectively.
