Chapter 14: Tragedy
In the sky, the demon beast that escaped death under the rain of arrows had broken through the encirclement at this time, and rushed to the defenders on the city tower without fear of death.
I saw that a group of demon wolves with wings on their backs and silver gray bodies descended from the sky, opened their bloody mouths, leaked out a mouth full of fangs, and pounced directly on the black-armored soldiers defending the city. The soldier raised the javelin in his hand above his head, and with a fierce force, the javelin pierced through the mouth of the demon wolf, and the head of the spear pierced out from under the belly of the demon wolf, and the scarlet demon blood rolled straight down, and the silver-gray demon wolf lost its vitality and fell from the city wall.
However, some soldiers elsewhere were not so lucky. As soon as the javelin in his hand was thrown, the oncoming demon wolf in the sky grabbed the gap and bit off the soldier's neck, killing him instantly. After the demon wolf bit off the neck of the black-armored soldier, it continued to attack the other city defenders.
"Qiang!Qiang!" The long knife on his waist went out of his body, and a group of soldiers worked together to encircle and suppress the demon wolf.
After the first wave of aerial monsters were all strangled, the second wave followed.
Flocks of strange birds with pitch-black bodies were huge, and their mouths made strange calls, densely covered into clouds, and they broke through the rain of arrows with a single dive, and killed the city. I saw that the barbs on the beak of the strange bird were hooked, extremely sharp, and the claws were as black as ink, and one claw penetrated the black armor of the soldiers guarding the city, dragging the soldiers into the air, and after rising hundreds of feet high, the soldiers were dropped, and the soldiers screamed again and again, and fell into the beasts under the city, and were instantly divided.
"Little prince be careful!" A strange bird was swooping towards Pei Zonghao, and the guard Lao He pulled out the long knife at his waist and blocked Pei Zonghao behind him.
Lao He held a knife in both hands, slashed angrily, and cut off the head of the strange bird with one knife, and the corpse was separated in an instant and fell from the city. At this time, the blood and qi of the old master He were released, attracting a lot of strange birds and demon wolves for a while.
"Little prince, you step back first, leave it to me here!" Lao He shouted, raised the long knife in his hand and killed the demon wolf and the strange bird.
"Hao'er, the two armies are fighting, and the safety of the commander is related to the overall situation, or you retreat first, and leave it to the division first. Feng Lingzi beside Pei Zonghao was also worried that Pei Zonghao would lose his mind because of Mengxueye's death, and he was hot-headed and rushed up to fight with the demon beast.
"Master, it's better for you to retreat first, find a place to recover your spiritual power, and the big demon will attack the city in a while, and you still need to go all out. Pei Zonghao just became a lot colder than usual, but his reason was still very clear.
"It's, okay. Then the teacher will first recover his spiritual power, and you must pay attention to safety. ”
"Don't worry, Master. ”
Pei Zonghao was not afraid of danger at this time, his left hand was across his chest, and his right hand was holding the white phoenix sword behind his arm.
After Lao He dealt with the demon wolf and the strange bird, he returned to Pei Zonghao, like a mountain, not moving at all.
"Uncle He, this time I caused a big disaster, which caused my mother to die and monsters to besiege the city. You say, will the innocent people in Yunchuan City blame me?" Pei Zonghao exuded a sad mood all over his body at this time.
"Little prince, you don't have to blame yourself, since ancient times, demon beasts have hunted and killed my human race, and they have taken the human race as food in their stomachs. This Yunchuan City, if it weren't for our Pei family's army, it would have been razed to the ground by demon beasts a long time ago, presumably the people in the city would not blame the little prince for this. ”
"However, my mother is really dead. Slowly, the desolate aura on Pei Zonghao's body began to change, and a monstrous hatred surged into his heart.
"Little prince, you are still young, when the stars break through in the future and achieve martial saint cultivation, then you will find the demon dragon to take revenge!
"Ahh
"Little prince, the demon beasts in the west have attacked the city wall, and our army has suffered heavy losses!" The city tower guard knelt on one knee and reported the battle situation to Pei Zonghao.
"Order, crossbowmen rush to support. Order, the infantry shield soldiers ascended the building, and then built a city wall, and the pikemen cooperated with the infantry and shield soldiers to block the demon beasts.
"Order, prepare the oil, prepare the drop. Pei Zonghao calmly ordered.
"Yes!" the general took the order and flew away to deliver the order.
"Da! da! da!" A rush of footsteps came out, and the infantry and shield soldiers who were waiting in the city climbed the city tower, and the spearmen who followed closely behind them were all pitch black, only the tips of the spears were slightly white, and the spears were neatly arranged, and under the afterglow in the gap of the demon clouds, they were bright and cold.
When the shield soldiers and pikemen climbed the city wall, the soldiers who had defended the city retreated at the same time, and the shield soldiers stood their shields directly on the eaves, casting a high black iron wall.
The demon beasts under the city are still pouring towards the city wall, and in the face of the obstruction of the black iron wall, it will not be long before the wall will break through.
One by one, the jackals, tigers and leopards kept climbing the black iron city wall with their claws, but they were all stabbed through the body by the pikemen behind the shield soldiers with the black spears in their hands, and after they fell, they became the cornerstone of the "demon slope".
The demon beast behind him trampled on the corpse of his companion and continued to attack, endlessly and overwhelmingly.
"Little prince, the oil is ready!"
After Pei Zonghao heard the herald's report, he directly gave an order, "Throw out the fire oil!"
"Boom!" A sealed jar of oil was thrown out by the guards of the city, flew out of the iron wall, and smashed into the tide of beasts, the jar cracked, and the splashing sound of water rattled.
"Come, give me a bow and arrows. Hearing Pei Zonghao's words, a crossbowman quickly handed over the bow and arrow in his hand to Pei Zonghao.
Pei Zonghao took the bow and arrow, dipped the arrow in oil and ignited it, turned his back to the iron wall, and the whole person jumped into the air. After his body rose into the air, Pei Zonghao held a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, and after winding the arrow, he turned around, pulled the bow into a full moon, and shot an arrow.
The rocket flew to the beast group with a sound of breaking the air in an instant, "Boom!" In an instant, the Burning Sky Fire was ignited, the flames spread rapidly, and the demon beasts besieging the city were instantly buried in a sea of fire. The demon beasts under the city walls also stopped, and panicked in their hearts.
"Roar!" An angry roar resounded through the sky, and among the demon groups, the purple gold sky-shaking ape that had escaped before was being protected by dozens of big demons at this time, surrounded in the center.
Hearing this roar, the demon beasts under the city wall raised their heads to the sky and roared, and millions of demon beasts roared in unison, and the sound instantly rushed into the sky, scattering the clouds in the sky.
After the beasts roared, they began to attack the city without fear of death, trying to extinguish the fire with their own bodies.
Seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall threw down the fire oil mission in their hands, and in an instant, the flames in the sea of fire rose to the sky, building a hundred-zhang wall of fire, and the wall of fire instantly dispersed all the demon beasts in the sky.
The beasts are not afraid of death, go forward and follow, after the demon beasts in front of them are buried in the sea of fire, the demon beasts behind follow closely, and the walls of fire are about to be broken through, or it will not be long before the beast tide will extinguish the fire, and the beast tide with no end in sight will flood the city wall.
"Little Wangye, the oil is gone!" At this time, a general reported to Pei Zonghao.
"Little Prince, without the oil of fire, I'm afraid this beast tide can't be stopped!" the guard Lao He couldn't help but speak.
"Order! Transfer all the troops in the city to the city tower and fight the demon beast to the death!"
"Also, send someone to see the southern wall, how the battle is going there!"
With Pei Zonghao's order, the rolling army in the city began to climb the building, and the firm and steady footsteps did not waver in the slightest.
"Roar!" At this moment, a huge ape with a burnt black body rushed out of the sea of fire and jumped onto the city wall, and the hair on its whole body was scorched by the fire, and nothing was intact. The giant ape opened its bloody jaw, roared at the soldiers on the city wall, and launched a frenzied slaughter.
"Ahh
The giant ape seemed to have turned on his wisdom, and after a fierce battle with the soldiers defending the city for a while, he saw Pei Zonghao in the crowd, and the giant ape roared at Pei Zonghao, abandoning the soldiers defending the city, and killed Pei Zonghao.
"Qiang!" The guards beside Pei Zonghao drew their long knives and prepared to face the giant ape.
"Stand down, I'll come!"
"Little Lord, you should stay here to stabilize the morale of the army, and just leave it to me. Lao He stretched out his hand to block Pei Zonghao, he was worried about Pei Zonghao's safety.
"You stand down, I'll come. After Pei Zonghao finished speaking, he flipped the white phoenix sword in his hand, the sword body was facing forward, and he flew out of the crowd with a leap, and the white phoenix sword in his hand pointed directly at the giant ape.
When the giant ape saw Pei Zonghao killing him, the light of wisdom in his eyes flashed, and he accelerated towards Pei Zonghao.
It was too late, it was fast, the giant ape and Pei Zonghao collided instantly, and in a flash, one person and one ape passed by. At this time, Pei Zonghao had already arrived behind the giant ape, and the two were back to back. After a breath, the giant ape's huge head slowly slid down, the wound on its neck was as smooth as a flat mirror, and the demon blood in its body spurted out in an instant, rushing several meters high.
It turned out that when Pei Zonghao and the giant ape met, the giant ape raised a huge fist and smashed it at Pei Zonghao with a punch, and Pei Zonghao dodged, dodged the huge fist, buckled it on the giant ape's fist, jumped up with the force, and the white phoenix sword in his hand instantly slashed through the giant ape's neck, separating the giant ape's corpse.
"The little prince is mighty! The little prince is mighty!" When the giant ape fell to the ground, thousands of soldiers on the city wall began to shout together, "Little Wang Ye is mighty!" For a while, the morale was high and the fighting spirit was high.
Just after Pei Zonghao finished solving the giant ape, demon beasts rushed out of the sea of fire one after another. With the help of Pei Zonghao's majesty before, the soldiers on the city wall swung their swords and fought with the demon beasts that broke through the sea of fire.
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!" A roar came, the sea of fire under the city wall slowly extinguished, and waves of beasts poured up to the city, instantly fighting with the army, and for a time the corpse broke its arm, and it was stained with blood everywhere.
