Chapter 643, Dark Night (1)
At about six o'clock in the afternoon, I finally felt the trembling of the earth, and raised my eyes to stare at the dim junction of heaven and earth, a yellowed straight line appeared clearly and gradually spread.
Here it comes!!
People all tensed their minds, clenched the weapons in their hands, and stared at the thick dust and mist rolling in the distance through the battlements at the head of the wall. Observing with infrared telescopes, the line of sight is full of panicked herds of yellow sheep and wild horses, dense and innumerable, no matter who sees this scene, they will also have a feeling of numbness in the scalp.
The vast majority of people have never encountered this kind of situation, and even the team members who experienced the last fierce battle of the attack and defense of the base were shocked by this larger and more violent 'torrent'.
Feeling the darker and darker sky, the more and more obvious trembling of the ground, and the rolling muffled sound, the soldiers of the eight divisions on the city wall felt a suffocating dullness, and even more the heat that slowly surged under the suppression!!
The atmosphere on the city wall seemed to be solidified into ice, everyone held their breath and stared, looking from afar, clinging to the throbbing and excitement in the depths of their hearts, and the palms of the hands that held the weapons vigorously were white and blue, not nervous or afraid, but a kind of desire and fighting spirit.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the 'torrent' is getting closer and closer, the earth is shaking, the sky is roaring loudly, driven by the dense dogs and wolves, the panicked beasts do not stop, according to the direction they maintain, continue to move forward, fiercely press up, the momentum is huge!!
It's still the old strategy, using these innocent creatures to sweep away all hidden dangers for them.
Rumble!! As the hooves of the first wild horse trampled on the buried mine, and with the explosion of the first mine, a burst of intense flames, splashes of gravel and dust, and dense smoke and dust sounded more than ten miles in front of the base.
This is just the beginning, just a prologue, and like a good sleep, under the deterrence of wolves and dogs, and under the crowding of companions behind them, the rushing beasts cannot contain the momentum of the forehead, and go forward to the minefield of succession.
They want to turn around, they want to break away from the group, but they ...... The wild torrent of nearly 10,000 beasts, how can you stop and say that you will stop.
Explosions erupted, fierce flames and dust poured out, accompanied by terrible wails, tattered limbs, and a puddle of blood. It seems to have returned to the original scene, the same tragedy, the same pathos, and the same touching heart.
No one wants to slaughter innocent creatures, no one wants to hurt these grassland subjects, but on the tragic battlefield, in this bloody battle of attack and defense, they are doomed to pathos at the lower end of the biological chain.
The herd continued to spread deeper into the minefield, and the approaching explosions and waves of air pounded the walls of the base. The soldiers of the Eight Divisions hid behind the battlement wall, curled up vigorously, and occasionally had the courage to look out at the minefield through the battlement, and the flames that rushed to the sky, the tumbling air waves, and the flying creatures were all testing their ability to endure.
The scene in front of me is a living purgatory on earth!
In the dispatch room of the base, the eldest grandson Qianwen and the others were also shocked by the scene on the screen, listening to the rumbling explosions outside, looking at the tragic scene in front of them, their hearts felt twitches, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.
The inside of the base was still silent, and everyone stuck to their posts, huddled tightly, listening to the screams outside, waiting for the command from the dispatch room. In the last base attack and defense battle, Tianmen suffered heavy losses, but he also accumulated experience and figured out the siege tactics of the Iron Cavalry Tribe. The onslaught of the herds that is now being staged is just a sweep, a sweep of the mines by the herds.
Yu Xiaotian and the others felt distressed by the loss of mines, but they were helpless, if there were no mines, the beasts would directly attack the city gate and interfere with their defenses, and it would be their brothers who would lose at that time.
After just ten minutes, the deafening roar gradually stopped, and the beasts that broke into the minefield one after another were not spared, and the heavy blood filled this grassland and filled this world, and the ground that was originally covered with green grass was covered with blood and corpses, sticky and disgusting, reflecting a kind of desolation and pathos, and a more terrifying atmosphere.
Fortunately, the number of mines was not as large as before, and the number of beasts was too chaotic and huge this time, so after the explosion and sweep in the early stage, some of the beasts in the back successfully deflected and escaped, and the price paid by the beasts was not as great as last time.
When the surviving beasts fled away, the original roaring and earth-shattering base periphery was replaced by thick dust, the dust kicked up by hundreds of mines and explosions, and the rolling waves of air and the trampling of iron hooves, the thick dust and fog filled the area, blocking the extension of people's sight on the city wall.
Last time, they looked curiously and waited in amazement, this time......
"Everybody stomp behind the battlement wall, everybody!! All of them!! On the east and north walls, the captains of the various parts of the Black Warriors roared hysterically. The team members, who had already been reminded, held their iron shields high and curled up vigorously, covering behind the reinforced and heightened battlement walls, and no one dared to look around again, and no one dared to expose their bodies outside.
Because...... Next......
There was a dull rumbling sound in the air, and the ground trembled slightly.
In a short moment, the trampling shook the ground, the roar shook the sky, and the gray dust was replaced by 'black' in an instant, like a pitch-black wall, breaking through the dust curtain and viciously slamming down the city wall dozens of meters away.
It's a javelin!! A three-meter javelin! The pitch-black body of the spear, with its sharp edge, drew a death arc under the huge projectile force, pierced the air, tore through the dust curtain, and shot viciously at the wall with a roaring energy.
The team members on the wall have long been hiding, the people under the inner wall are clinging to the strong body, and the people in the base are temporarily hiding in the house. So...... The projectile of the javelin, which was a great threat, did not have the desired effect, except for a few unlucky people who were grazed by the head of the gun, and none of the team members showed their lives.
And then ...... Bow and arrow projection......
Different from the javelin's small arc throwing, the arc of the bow and arrow shooting reaches thirty or forty degrees, some shoot straight into the air and then fall obliquely, modern people have long ignored this ancient weapon, but the real immersion, in order to feel the threat brought by the bow and arrow, especially thousands of large-scale shooting, similar to the baptism of a rainstorm, the lethality is extremely terrifying.
Although the team members at the head of the wall held their shields high, they still couldn't stop it absolutely, and in an instant, a terrible scream sounded on the city wall, and a considerable number of people were shot by bows and arrows, some pierced their shoulders, some inserted into their ribs, and some pierced their calves, and the severe pain made them scream uncontrollably.
In the dispatch room, the eldest grandson Qianwen calmly looked at the screen in front of him, not caring about the casualties on the wall, nor caring about the fate of a few people, his eyes paid attention to the monitoring screen at the head of the wall, waiting for a new round of attacks.
According to the attack tactics of the Iron Cavalry tribe last time, the next step should be for the cavalry to approach, erect wooden bridges, and then release dogs and wolves. Each herald also stared at the screen while holding the microphone, as long as the cavalry appeared in the monitoring screen, they immediately reminded the black military troops to get up and fight. The last cavalry attack, they paid a heavy price in this regard, this time...... There must be no mistakes......
Yu Xiaotian and the others on the wall also pressed the heat in their chests, waiting for the order from the dispatch room.
But...... After waiting for seven or eight minutes, there was no cavalry rushing out of the thick dust fog, and the night vision monitor could also detect that there were large areas of cavalry stopped, but they stopped in place and did not charge.
What's going on?
What are they waiting for?
The sky was completely dark, the dust in the minefield gradually fell to the ground, and the burning flames also subsided one after another, with the sweep of the searchlight, you can clearly see the dense Mongolian cavalry outside the base, holding a horse chopping knife and sitting on horseback, looking coldly at the base hundreds of meters away, except for the occasional neighing of the war horse, a silence, a solemnity.
Yu Xiaotian behind the wall was full of doubts, forcibly suppressed his curiosity to look out, and patiently waited for the instructions from the dispatch room.
In the dispatch room, the eldest grandson Qianwen stood up slowly, his calm gaze appeared solemn, and after shaking slightly, his gaze turned to the right side of the big screen, where ...... Be...... ...... of the base South Gate ......
Beyond the south gate corresponds to ...... Wind and solar power plants...... [(m)Bulletless window viewing]
