Chapter Eighty-Eight: Attack and Defense
Although Yang Yi said that he had defended the city in Mo City ten years ago, he thought that he had truly seen the siege of demon beasts. www.biquge.info In Yang Yi's impression, except for the time when the city gate suddenly fell to the ground, the rest of the time the siege of the demon beasts was pale and powerless, and there was not much of a threat. However, after seeing the attack of the demon beast this time, Yang Yi had to change his opinion in his heart.
Just when Yang Yi and the three of them were confronting each other with the five demon clans opposite, the real army of demon beasts was coming in a steady stream. It wasn't until dawn that the monsters were assembled. Everywhere Yang Yi could see, all of them were demon beasts. The vast walls of this Mo City were completely surrounded by the army of demon beasts. Suddenly, an earth-shattering beast roar sounded, and then the beast roar began to sound one after another. In the end, countless demon beasts roared at the sky in unison. This kind of earth-shattering sound, compared to the lion's roar, is only surpassed, but not inferior. The three monks of Yang Yi were shocked, not to mention the mortals in the city.
The siege kicked off at this moment. With countless beast roars, the demon beasts rushed towards the city. At this moment, the earth was shaking, and the city was trembling violently. The warriors and soldiers standing on the city wall, holding the hard bow and crossbow in their hands, looked nervously at the demon beasts that were rushing towards the city.
"Throw stones ready and put." Seeing the demon beasts dispatching, the general defending the city shouted loudly. Subsequently, nearly 100 boulders flew out of the city each time. It never stopped smashing into the demon beasts that were scrambling to be the first and rushing to the city. The soldiers didn't need to aim at all to smash into the swarming hordes of monsters.
"Bow and arrow ready, shoot." Seeing that the demon beast was already more than 300 meters close to the city, the general defending the city shouted again, and then arrows rained down. These demon beasts have rough skin and thick flesh, and feathered arrows can only be truly killed if they hit their vital points. If they didn't hit, the monsters didn't care about the arrows stuck in their bodies at all, and ran to the city without stopping. Monsters that are slightly smaller tend to approach the walls on both sides. They are agile and can easily climb tall walls. The larger, more clumsy monsters ran towards the city gate, and their goal was to break through the city gate.
The extent of the city wall is too wide, and there are always some demon beasts that can get close and climb up the city wall. However, he was soon shot and killed by soldiers in the city. The relatively narrow city gate is the most important, and the defense is naturally the most tight. On the city wall in this section, there are some people in the rivers and lakes with high martial arts. They can often hit the vital point with a single arrow, shooting a large demon beast. Therefore, there are no demon beasts that can approach here for the time being.
As time passed, it was almost noon, and the attack of the demon beasts was still fierce. They seemed endless, and even though there were countless casualties, Yang Yi still couldn't see the end of the demon beast. However, the situation in the city is no longer optimistic. Except for the gate of the city, it is still a forbidden area for demon beasts. On the other walls of this city, from time to time, demon beasts climbed the city wall and entered the city. After all, it is impossible for the soldiers defending on the city wall to maintain vigorous energy all the time.
The generals on the city wall naturally knew about this situation, but they didn't have any worries, and still commanded calmly. Finally, the number of demon beasts entering gradually increased, and at the gate of the forbidden area, there was finally a break in by demon beasts. Seeing this, a loud horn sounded. However, during tea time, no less than a number of soldiers and martial arts people appeared on the city wall. They came from the city to the city wall in an orderly manner and began to change their guards. The relatively grim situation has changed. At this moment, the city seems to have become impregnable again.
From day to night, and then to the next morning, the siege of the monsters never stopped. And their number still seems to be endless. However, there is an end to the soldiers and warriors in the city. Although they will change their guards and rest every day, they will still be tired, and their form is gradually declining. On this day, the number of monsters attacking the city began to increase, and the forbidden area at the city gate also had monsters able to break in from time to time. But fortunately, the city is still strong. On the third day, the besiegers were still fierce, almost endless. The defenders of the city, however, showed weakness and suffered casualties. On the fourth day, the inhabitants of the city had also been assigned a defense area to cooperate with the soldiers to defend together. However, the demon beasts that rushed into the city still did not decrease. The tall and sturdy city gate has also been hit several times. And the casualties of the soldiers and warriors in the city gradually increased.
Finally, the fifth day arrived. It seems that the endless demon beasts have finally come to an end. At least, Yang Yi could now see five hundred meters away, and there was no shadow of the demon beast. The day of the decisive battle is today, Yang Yi couldn't help but think.
In the past few days, due to the rules set by both sides, the eight people in their sky are just bystanders. Except for Liu Hui's face, which seemed to have endless sorrow and worry, the other seven people didn't have too many expressions. Even Yang Yi just treated it indifferently. This may be a change in strength, a change in mentality. Yang Yi found that the torture he had encountered in the Inheritance Immortal Pagoda had an answer. It turned out that he was just an ordinary cultivator, and he didn't deserve to be a great saint like Senior Brother.
The number of demon beasts finally became an advantage, and the tall city walls seemed to have become decorations. Demon beasts continue to come to the city walls and fight fiercely with the already exhausted soldiers. The city gates, which had been erected firmly, were also constantly being hit and were already crumbling. It was as if it would fall to the ground in the next moment. Could it be that the gate can't escape the fate of falling in the end, Yang Yi himself is unwilling to answer. Because he knew that if he continued like this, the city would eventually be breached.
"The gates will be broken." Seeing the wolf demon here, there was finally a smile on his expressionless face. He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and whispered.
"Not necessarily." What answered him was Liu Hui's firm voice.
"Can't Your Excellency see that this city gate, as long as two or three more demon beasts are allowed to collide, it will fall to the ground with a bang."
"There will be no more demon beasts rushing over, and this city gate will definitely stand."
"Really? Then we'll see. The wolf demon didn't know why Liu Hui was so confident, but he still insisted on his opinion.
While the two were arguing, the city gate was slowly opened. Out of it came a hundred soldiers in heavy armor and armed with shields and spears and swords. They came to the city gate in unison, facing the attacking demon beasts in front of them. Then they shouted in unison, "Defend the gates", "Defend the gates...... The voice, at this moment, seemed to have an uplifting power. The soldiers in the city also chanted with them. This voice seems to have a strange magic. The exhaustion on everyone's faces was swept away, and morale was at an extreme. This voice, for the first time in the past five days, can compete with the roar of the beast outside the city. It seems to indicate that the counterattack has arrived, and victory or defeat is at this moment.
"Could it be that you want to rely on these mortals to resist the impact of demon beasts? Your Excellency is not thinking too much. ”
"If it's an ordinary mortal, an ordinary weapon, naturally it can't work. But they can definitely withstand the impact of the remaining demon beasts. Liu Hui looked at their appearance, his expression full of pride.
"There are quite a few monks in the Tongmai period, as well as some war weapons and sword weapons. Are they your last support, but unfortunately this is not enough. "Even if the wolf demon noticed that they were unusual, he didn't panic.
As the wolf demon finished speaking, among the demon beasts that appeared last, nearly three hundred demon wolves and demon bears rushed out. They are larger, stronger, and more intelligent than ordinary monsters. Relying on the cover of other demon beasts, they rushed towards a hundred soldiers without fear of death. This is the final showdown between the two sides.
The hundred heavily armored soldiers, facing the demon wolves and demon bears that rushed over, did not show any fear. It was only from them that two soldiers with heavy swords stepped forward. The soldiers behind them, armed with spears, lined up in three rows. Then they slammed their shield into the ground. Waiting quietly, these hundreds of demon beasts that are obviously more powerful.
Finally, the hand-to-hand battle was met. The spear stabbed, and the first batch of demon beasts fell without humming. The second group of demon beasts passed them and continued to rush forward. Then, fell on the second thrust. Until the spear stabbed three times, hundreds of monsters fell. Many of them were mistakenly killed by subsequent demon beasts.
The demon beasts came into contact with the two people holding heavy swords in the front, and sword intent rose from the two of them. In an instant, a vacuum was formed in front of the two of them. However, there are monsters that are quickly supplemented. The fierce hand-to-hand combat unfolded between the hundred-man heavily armored soldiers who did not retreat at all, and the demon beasts that were constantly impacting.
And on the entire city wall, there are also fierce confrontations that are not lost under the city wall. Death became commonplace in this moment. Blood stained the entire wall red, and the corpses of the monsters were piled up like a mountain. The shouts of the people and the roars of the monsters are intertwined, like a sad song that has existed since ancient times. In this ancient vicissitudes of the city, it is getting louder and louder, and it is becoming more and more tragic.
Until the remnant sun drips blood, and tears are shed at dusk. The few remaining demon beasts finally retreated. also brought this fierce offensive and defensive battle, which lasted for nearly five days, to a complete end. Outside the city gate, less than ten of the hundred heavily armored soldiers who went out of the city to fight survived. But compared to their opponents, of the nearly three hundred demon beasts, only a few were able to escape, which can be described as a brilliant victory. As a result, they finally won this most crucial duel. As a result, the gates of Meaux were not breached again.
