Volume 1 Displacement Chapter 5 The Beast Tide is Coming
"Combatants prepare, the beast tide has arrived!"
The fence around the second long street has been built, and all gates are now open for the rest of the long street to enter.
In the distance, there were bursts of beast roars, and birds and beasts poured in like a tide.
Soldiers wielding weapons and farm tools to protect the elderly, weak, women and children from retreating, and a group of riders rushed out of the second long street to rescue the refugees first.
"Save the child first, hurry up!"
The team members placed the children on their horses, one in front of each of them, some with babies in their arms. A bird of prey swooped down, and the team members could only wave their free hands in a hurry to respond, and escape back to the village as quickly as possible, so that they could save more people.
The fleeing people gathered into a crowd, and the patrol team of the village was at the front, but those were mostly new villages, and the strength and manpower of the patrol team were not enough, how could they stop this group of crazy beasts. The guards of the long street could not pass through this crowd, and could only let the beasts ravage the villagers at the front.
There were occasional pushes in the crowd, and many people tripped and fell to the ground, but the terrified villagers did not care about the life or death of those who fell to the ground, and trampled them one after another. The whole field was filled with the heart-rending wails of loved ones and the roars of wild beasts.
When the catastrophe comes, how humble is human life?
Yun Feng stood by the gate at this time, helping to bring the rescued people into the long street, he looked at the crowd that was getting closer and smaller, and his body couldn't stop trembling.
The screams and roars were approaching, and Yun Feng's spirit was also a little dazed, until many people shouted from the long street: "Okay!
Only then did the people who were still fighting outside stop retreating, and some of the people who were already seriously injured and dying fought their last breath to cover everyone's retreat.
With the sound of "squeaking", the gates closed one after another, and for a time the long street was filled with tragic cries and scolding.
The warriors, who had been preparing for battle for a long time, did not care so much, and inserted their spears into the pre-drilled holes in the fence, and the archers also stood on the high platform and began to shoot.
The charging beasts slammed headlong into the spear tips and were impaled alive to death. The birds were either hacked to death by swords on the high platform or pierced by longbows, and they could not advance or retreat.
The battle continued until sunset, when the beast tide receded with a tiger roar in the distance.
The setting sun stained blood, and the bones were everywhere.
Of course, after the closure of the door, the villagers unilaterally tortured and killed the beast tide.
When the tide receded, the villagers moved the carcass back to the long street and boiled it on the spot.
A pungent smell of blood came from near the fence, and even turned into a hazy light smoke floating on it.
Everyone is very tired, but fortunately, there have been no serious casualties since the door was closed, which is also the reason why there have been no demon beasts yet.
No one on the long street was excited or happy, and although the beast tide actually gave them time to rest, the wise enemies were far more dangerous than the stupid beasts.
Soon, however, the reason for the retreat was understood.
The floating blood qi suddenly seemed to be attracted, drifting into the distance, and even the beast corpses that were far away from the long street were visibly shriveled down with the naked eye.
The blood on the ground gradually dimmed, as if it had been stripped of its essence, and all the blood and qi in front of the long street disappeared in an instant.
"Well, what is that!" exclaimed the sharp-eyed villager.
Everyone saw the disappearance of blood and qi, and they only felt a chill in their hearts.
"On the hill over there, what kind of monsters!"
On the side of Forty-Nine Village, Liu Laosan was holding the meat indifferently, and said casually: "Eat meat, eat meat! Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight, anyway, you have to die together, there is nothing to be afraid of." β
"Hehe, we're the ones who died once anyway. "There are team members who should be peaceful.
"It's also true, what danger is there at that time, Lao Tzu doesn't want to die, and he has to protect the little madman from running away. β
Lao Wang gnawed on a big bone and sneered: "I see that people are almost protective of you, what are you pretending to be!"
Everyone laughed, and it can be said that it is the most optimistic team in the long street.
Of course, no one noticed how Liu Laosan's body trembled, and no one noticed that Lao Wang's feet kept jolting.
Reinforcements from the town are the only hope.
The reason why I didn't choose to retreat directly to the town was that I would be caught up by the beast tide if I didn't go far, and it was too unrealistic to fight the beast purely by relying on my physical body. Second, the monks of the town also disliked the incompetent mortals, how could they lead the villagers into the city.
The villagers spent the night on duty in worry and anticipation.
On the second day of the defensive battle, the fence was replaced by new villagers, who had been resting since retreating to Long Street yesterday and were not very familiar with the current defense system.
The beast tide did not attack at night last night, so there is a high probability that it will attack today, so the villagers are extremely nervous.
Mountains of materials are piling up, and craftsmen are stepping up to reinforce the fence. Layers of stone bricks were laid behind the wooden fences, and deep trenches were dug out of the outer walls of the fence, and the hooks were filled with metal nails, bone spurs, and stone cones. In other villages, skilled craftsmen are working at full speed to build catapults and bolts.
The villagers never considered taking the initiative to attack, because everyone knew that it was impossible to win a war, and only by constantly strengthening the defense could there be any hope of survival.
In the evening, the people of the 49th village still gathered around their cauldrons.
"It's a little weird, what are the monsters doing?" one of the team members complained.
"Who knows, deliberately whetting our appetite?" replied with his hands spread out.
Liu Laosan threw the bones in his hand to the ground, and said anxiously: "Damn, won't you tell me that this demon beast knows the art of war?
Yun Feng snorted and said with a smile: "How is it possible, they have been staying in the mountains, how can it be possible to be in the art of war?"
Liu Laosan felt embarrassed, scratched his stubble and said, "What about the other side of the mountain? Maybe it's from the other side!"
Everyone suddenly stopped talking, and Lao Wang slapped his thigh and said, "Don't say it, it's really possible." β
"Look! I said yes. Liu Laosan was very proud on the surface, but in his heart he was afraid of the unknown.
If so, what kind of place is there on the other side of the mountain?
Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, while leaving the matter behind, just as a daily braggadocio.
Only Yun Feng didn't take this sentence as a joke, after all, all the previous signs pointed to this.
The waning moon hangs high in the night sky, and the clouds and wind ponder the moon.
"What the hell should I do, although I feel like I can do anything now, I still don't want to be known. β
"If it is discovered, what reason should I use?"
"Then again, if I'm really in danger, will someone come to my rescue? I don't know why my family left me here, but since I'm a member of a big family, I must be a big monk in my family. β
"It's annoying......"
"Who am I, how can I know if I should continue to practice the exercises, and what should I do in the future?"
"It's so messy, it's annoying. β
However, Yun Feng, who was looking up at the night sky, didn't notice it at all, and a faint strange vein appeared on his right arm, which slowly dissipated like smoke when he collected his heart.
"Forget it, don't think about it so much, you can't be distracted before the big war. Yunfeng shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
The second night of tension passed, and many people did not sleep, and the tired clanging of craftsmen was heard in the streets, and more of fear of the coming tide of beasts.
The villagers spent the night in fear, but not a single crow flew over the long street, not even a single crow flew over the long street.
Skilled craftsmen never close their eyes even from the moment they arrived at the Long Street, and the line of defense stretched for miles, but the number of craftsmen was limited. If you want to have enough catapults and ballistae on the long street, the job will not allow them to rest.
Although the simple parts have been completed by other craftsmen, nearly half of the work has not been completed until now.
Soon it was another day and night, and even the nervous villagers were surprised. But surprise to surprise, no one would want to go to the distant mountains because of this.
On the fourth day, the wall was already sandwiched with two layers of stone bricks and wood, so there was no need for spears. Instead, there are tall metal plates fixed at intervals on the faΓ§ade with long pointed cones and sharp curved edges on either side.
Although the workmanship is crude, the threat to the beast is quite great.
Not far from the outer wall are many pits and trenches, considering that the pits are not easy to clean, most of the pits and trenches are paved with bone spurs and hard bamboo, so it is not necessary to waste energy to forge metal. And there is no need to cover up the pit, after all, it is impossible to avoid all the beast tides.
Because the walls were sandwiched with roughly adjusted logs, there was a large space between the two stone walls, and the villagers laid planks on top of the walls for the warriors to stand on.
On the inside of the wall there is a wooden platform or crossbow tower, on which catapults are arranged, and several barrels of unknown liquid are placed.
On the crossbow tower, there are three giant crossbows in a vertical triangle formation, which obviously has good lethality. However, the time is limited, the high platform is fine, and the catapult and crossbow tower will not have time to build a lot, and I don't know if there will be time to continue to strengthen it in the future.
After making enough preparations, the villagers were much more relieved, and the craftsmen finally had a chance to rest.
Such a heavy workload, if the beast tide hits, it must not be completed in a few days. Regardless of whether there is a respite afterwards, the craftsmen must also recover their energy, otherwise it will be a bad thing to do half the work.
Soon, the waning moon rose, and Yun Feng ended his shift, rested for a while, and fell asleep.
However, it didn't take long for Yun Feng to be woken up by the sound of killing, and after hurriedly getting up, he saw the beast tide after many days.
However, this time the beast tide was obviously not as difficult to deal with as the previous time, and the beasts fell into the pit one after another, and the beast tide stepped on the corpses of their own clan.
When the beasts finally broke through the trap and came to the wall, they were all blocked by the wall.
In front of him is a terrible iron plate, and when he jumps up, he has to face the iron spear of the human race, and behind him is a fierce beast that is fearlessly charging, and there is no way back.
As soon as the leading beasts flinched, the beast tide behind them swarmed up and pushed the front row onto the metal plate.
The beasts were obviously not united, and did not care about the lives of their companions at all, and when the dead corpses turned into ladders, the beast tide began to charge in earnest.
Yun Feng had just arrived at the wall at this time when he heard someone shouting to him beside him.
"Hey, the little madman is here to help, there are not enough people. "That's the voice of the partner of the Forty-Nine Village.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"Help me transport the stones, the people haven't come yet, this time it seems that the number of beasts is more than before, there is really a shortage of people!"
When Yun Feng heard this, he rushed to the side of the stone pile with an arrow step, and the stone was too large, so even if Yun Feng had enough strength, he could only take one at a time.
He rushed to the high platform as if he were flying, startling his partner.
"How does this kid feel like he's running faster. The man was surprised, but he didn't think much of it, and immediately placed the stones.
The villagers adjusted a little and shouted: "Go!"
The stones flew out with a loud bang, and the stones fell down like meteors, and although the number of catapults was limited, the impact covered the entire beast tide.
The place where the flying stone fell to the ground was filled with smoke and dust, and the majestic air waves spread. The beasts were disturbed by the dust and debris, and immediately became extremely scattered, and the weak insects and beasts even buried themselves directly under the boulders, not to mention the rubble and boulders everywhere, which greatly hindered the progress of the beast tide.
"The big village chief has passed the word, the stones are a little useful, and it will be useful when the demon beast comes!" Liu Laosan roared from the high platform not far away, obviously a village from a round of rumors.
Everyone understands in their hearts, but there is no need to spend more, the beast tide has long been defeated.
The nearby beasts were directly pierced by the giant crossbows, and the birds could not cross the city walls at all, and the quantity and quality of this tide of war beasts did not change much, and the villagers easily won at a very small price, not to mention that no one died, and even the number of minor injuries was very small.
At the end of the battle, the situation of blood and qi regression appeared, and this time the villagers were more curious than afraid.
In that mountain, it should be the demon clans absorbing the blood-red airflow, but they don't know exactly what will happen.
After this battle, the villagers' confidence increased a lot, and they thought that there would be a way to deal with it when the time came, and they were not too afraid.
As for the big villages that had fought with demon beasts, they all thought that even with that aura attack, it would be impossible to break through such a strong wall, so they relaxed a lot.
No one knew that in the depths of the mountain forest, there was a brilliant golden brilliance above the demons, and the boundless blood qi gathered around him, gradually forming a blood cocoon.
The surrounding demons were prostrate on the ground, and even the mighty bear demons couldn't stop their trembling bodies.
He has the strongest bloodline among the demons, so he can feel it more clearly.
That touch of golden light, what a noble existence.
