Chapter 296: Outrageous
"Won't it?"
Yu Wenshi turned his head and looked at his friend in disbelief, "Virusha, you are simply crazy!"
In his opinion, this guy is crazy. It's just enough to arm his own camp to the extreme, and he even paid someone to engrave evil runes on the stone.
Where would ordinary people think of this? It's outrageous!
"Just be prepared. ”
Li Shimin squinted at Yu Wenshi in a flat voice: "I think those traitors are young, if they really plan to do something under the strict defense of hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers, they can only use some of the power of ghosts and ghosts,"
- In fact, he got the information in advance and knew that there was a certain evil in the loss of the Huaqingfang arsenal, and he was released from the prison. even got hints from the life-saving talismans given to him by Qinghua Yuanjun.
However, his words obviously could not convince Yu Wenshi, who shook his head slightly, and you looked unbelievable: "Vilusha, it's a pity that you are not a woman." Otherwise, it must be a good match for thoughtfulness. ”
Li Shimin suddenly condensed his eyes slightly: "Yu Wenshiji, believe it or not, I will throw you out of the camp now?"
Yu Wenshi and his neck shrank suddenly, and he didn't say anything more.
Zhuang Shicheng, who was standing on the side, seemed to remember something at this time, and said in a trembling voice: "By the way, before I came, Ambassador Wang asked me to tell Li Zhige that there might be an evil lurking in the underworld army opposite, which is close to the strength of the gods. ”
"Close to the gods?"
The eldest grandson Wuji was immediately taken aback: "But those two super necromantic knights in the north?"
"Probably not. ”
Zhuang Shicheng glanced at the north, and his face, which was already bloodless, was even more pale. He didn't know before that among those necromantic knights, there were actually two super-grade existences.
"I heard what Ambassador Wang meant was that this evil cult has not yet appeared. He asked Li Zhige to be careful, this person's combat power may not be able to reach General Yuwen. ”
When Yu Wenshi heard this, he was also shocked and changed: "Why didn't you say this earlier?"
Zhuang Shicheng was already on the verge of crying: "Our family, our family didn't think about it,"
He was frightened by the bone arrows of those necromantic knights just now, and for a while, the six gods were gone. If it weren't for the Divine Decree that he carried on his body, he could read it according to the script, and it is estimated that he would have forgotten almost the content of the Divine Decree.
Li Shimin's reaction was very bland. The existence released by the Huaqingfang arsenal, he had known about it for a long time.
Listening to the meaning of Qinghua Yuanjun, he is also very afraid of it.
"Ambassador Wang only told me to be careful, and didn't say how to deal with it, right? Or does he mean that as long as the evil monster appears, the embroidered guards will have a way to deal with it?"
Zhuang Shicheng calmed down and pondered carefully for a moment, and then said in a hesitant tone: "It should be like this, Ambassador Wang's last sentence is to ask Li Zhige not to panic." Although he didn't say it explicitly, I saw that his words and demeanor were still very calm and confident. ”
"Got it!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly, and then continued to pay attention to the battle situation ahead.
While they were talking, the sixteen trebuchets had fired their fourth salvo in a row, burying a full five thousand skeleton archers.
It was only after this that the performance of these trebuchets dropped significantly. On the one hand, the formation of the skeleton shooters has been spread out, and on the other hand, the broken stone with the runes engraved with evil spirits has been depleted. With normal stones, the lethality is naturally a cliff-like fall.
Of course, the hundreds of stones the size of a pebble's egg are still very powerful. Each salvo of sixteen trebuchets can smash hundreds of skeleton shooters.
The latter's counterattack also came when the trebuchet fired a second salvo, and in an instant, thousands of bone arrows were thrown into the air and scattered in front of the camp.
The bows of the skeleton archers were almost all decayed, and most of them didn't even have bowstrings. But with the blessing and 'repair' of the power of the black evil, these rotten war bows can shoot continuously like normal bows and arrows.
And those bone arrows that came over were all full of strength, and after they landed, they all made a 'snatching' sound, and they were nailed into the soil layer and the wall.
However, very few people in this camp were injured as a result. The Tibetan soldier caves built by the soldiers of the Daye Hall behind the walled wall are as many as one hundred, plus the twenty that are rushed to be repaired later, which is enough to accommodate 2,800 soldiers. Then there are forty semi-enclosed embassies, which are also extremely sturdy and have curtains made of silk mixed with bamboo strips in front of them.
Silk is not only smooth and forceless, but also has an amazing density, which is very effective in defending against arrows. Therefore, the vast majority of the disciples of the generals usually wear a layer of silk under the ink armor.
The reason why those famous generals in ancient times were able to charge into battle and fight endlessly after being clothed with a hundred arrows was because of this work.
The curtain made of silk and bamboo looks light and vulnerable, but its ability to resist arrows is stronger than that of a steel plate half an inch thick.
Therefore, the only thing that can be threatened by those bone arrows in this camp is the wall. But Li Shimin's arrangement on it is all skilled in warfare, at least they also have a seven-grade cultivation, and with the heavy shield and the female wall, there is basically no possibility of being injured.
When four rounds of arrows were over, there was nothing more to the internet, except for a dozen or so unlucky guys who were hit. Even if these people were hit by arrows, under the protection of the ink armor, their injuries were not very serious.
And at this moment, the sixty eight-armed siege crossbows also began to roar. One by one, the demonic crossbow arrows were a foot long, and they roared angrily towards the opposite side.
The other party's formation is still quite standard, and it is surprising that it does not open the way with skeleton corpses and desolate beast bones. Instead, he directly put the one hundred and fifty primeval desolate dragons at the forefront.
These desolate dragon remains not only have iron armor to protect themselves, but also use their natural abilities to condense a thick layer of stone armor on Zhou's body. Even if he is shot by an eight-armed siege crossbow, he is fearless. There was only a sound of detonation, and clusters of sparks bloomed.
By the time the remains of these desolate dragons approached a mile in front of the first trench, only two primeval desolate dragons had fallen with a bang.
"At this distance, you can actually shoot arrows. ”
Yu Wenshi looked at the scene in front of him, and he was already faintly uneasy.
He couldn't understand why Li Shimin had not ordered the arrows to shoot back, so that the forty arrow towers in the camp had been closed with arrow curtains to close the front windows, and there was no movement.
In his mind, even if those primeval desolate dragons were blocking at this time, he could use the projectile method.
And at this distance, some fifth-grade cultivators can still threaten those primeval dragons with demonic arrows using demonic arrows.
But Li Shimin didn't hear it as if he hadn't heard it, and it wasn't until another twenty breaths had passed, and those primeval desolate dragons had already approached the front of the trench, that he suddenly gave the order.
"Open the curtain, fire a salvo, go to the wall!"
In an instant, the curtains of the forty arrow towers were opened, and 1,200 demonic arrows flew out at the same time, shooting at the bones of those desolate dragons a mile away.
The arrows they shoot can't be compared with the eight-armed siege crossbow - even if it's a three-grade level marksman, it can't be done.
But at a very close distance, with the help of powerful demonic arrows, it still has a very good lethality. With those heavy crossbows, in an instant, the three primeval desolate dragons were planted in front of the trench.
One of them is Li Shimin's record. The 'Celestial' war bow held by the latter pierced the eyebrows of an ancient desolate dragon with a single arrow, causing the exploding arrow to burst in its skull!
And when the soldiers in the Tibetan Soldier Cave all poured onto the city wall, the density of the second wave of arrow rain instantly surged several times. In the blink of an eye, another five primeval desolate dragons fell to the ground.
Yu Wenshi was also surprised to find that the rain of bone arrows and arrows falling from the sky had stopped.
"Is this a lack of mana? or is there no arrows?"
Yu Wenshi and it is estimated that the former is the majority, just because the bone arrows of these skeleton archers are also proliferated by bones under the action of mana.
"It's not that there are no arrows, it's that there aren't many left. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Yu Wenshi with disdain, thinking to himself that this guy is also the son of Jiangmen, why didn't he know this.
"People are going to use arrows at a more critical time. ”
"Tell Gongsun Wuda that all trebuchets should replace their counterweights and shorten the poles, with the goal of one mile outside the wall. ”
When Li Shimin issued this military order, the third round of salvo fire had already begun on the arrow platform.
This time it was still a remarkable battle, and five more primeval desolate dragons were smashed under the bombardment of various arrows.
But when Li Shimin saw this, he was not happy, and his pupils contracted slightly at this moment.
I saw that on the sides of those primeval desolate dragons, countless skeleton corpses were rushing out.
These skeletons are all carrying a big bag of dirt behind them. After rushing to the front of the trench, he jumped directly into the deep pit. And go forward and one after another, one after another, in just a moment, the five-zhang deep pit will be filled alive.
"W-when was this?"
The eldest grandson Wuji's face was ugly, and he noticed that these skeleton corpse soldiers were still carrying dirt bags on their bodies.
"It's there before, it's hidden in the back, we can't see it,"
Li Shimin's expression was calm: "This person should have made a plan a long time ago, but I made a mistake." ”
Their opponents should have already made substitutions and played in a very disciplined manner.
But in fact, there is no mistake on his side, and the method of filling the pit prepared by the opponent, even if he knew it in advance, is actually helpless.
When the trench was filled in, the corpse army, which had been held back on the opposite side of the trench, began to move forward again.
However, this time, the remaining one hundred and thirty-five primeval desolate dragons did not rush forward. Instead, he prostrate his body and hide behind those beasts and skeleton corpses to avoid the attacks of those eight-armed heavy crossbows.
