Chapter 19: Demons and Demons Vs Demons
After sleeping and eating, Su Wen climbed the city wall refreshed.
Yu Pei's reaction gradually became strong and clear, and after waking up, he could already vaguely feel the direction of guidance.
Yu Pei's abnormal behavior was exactly the same as the first time, but it no longer made Su Wen feel weird and frightened, but instead looked forward to the last step as soon as possible.
Lao Zhu saw Su Wen on the city wall, and hurriedly stood up straight and put his spear upright. The ravine-horizontal face could squeeze out a bunch of smiles: "Su Xiashi, your style... Belch.. It's hard to look at. ”
"Morning, Lao Zhu, have you eaten?"
Lao Zhu was very puzzled: Is it important whether I eat or not? Which meal are you asking? Still replied respectfully. "Had breakfast and was very filling. ”
It would be embarrassing to talk any longer, so Su Wen smiled and continued to move forward.
I met a few people who I knew or didn't know, but they were the same, and they all stood up and saluted Su Wen respectfully.
All the way by, Su Wen, dressed in fancy clothes, looked like an Indian chief reviewing the troops, and almost said, "Hello comrades."
Su Wen's vanity burst for a while, he had never received so much attention, although he didn't know how to deal with it properly, but if there were food stamps, he would definitely stuff one for everyone. And hypocritically say: "Don't dislike it, a little heart." ”
......
--The reason for the incident is this: several of the knife and axemen who witnessed the murder in the restaurant that night stayed in Liubao. It is said that as a knife head licking blood, and a swordsman who is ready to die generously should not be a gossip villain. But overnight, Su Wen's name spread throughout the post castle.
--When the rumor passed through everyone, it was mixed with some private goods as usual.
In the few hours that Su Wen slept, he quickly advanced from a migrant worker who came to the city from a large mountain from another place to a chivalrous man with bare hands, fluttering in white clothes, killing one person in ten steps, killing demon beasts in an instant, and leaving no name for thousands of miles.
After the attack, he counter-killed eight top martial arts masters with blades and armor in ten steps, including Liu Han, the chief swordsman of the Song Kingdom, the first beautiful young man--- and the only son of Xiangguo, who was known as the son of the sword ---.
Liu Han was famous in the Song Kingdom. There are also parties who witnessed the scene, and everyone has also seen a number of Song Guoda figures, who favor Su Wen. The news corroborates each other. I can't help but Song Guo's gang of big-headed soldiers don't believe it.
What's more, the war is imminent, there is such a god-like character to support the field, everyone is full of confidence, and they can't wait to follow the hero and kill a few monsters.
----- Su Wen learned the ins and outs of the matter from Fang Wenqing, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
He scolded with a smile: "Who the did this good thing? I don't blink an eye when I kill someone, and I kill the prince of Xiangguo before I get to Song Kingdom? Do you think I can still go to Song Kingdom?"
Fang Wenqing smiled and almost wanted to fall: "This is not outrageous, I also heard that after you killed someone, your face did not change, and you drank a few jars, so you fought with the women of the Song Mansion for hundreds of rounds without distinguishing the winner or loser, and made an appointment to return to the Song Kingdom to fight again." ”
Su Wen couldn't hold back his laughter: "Hell, anyone believes this?"
"That's nature, and there are people who ask me for verification. Fang Wenqing lowered his voice and pretended to be deep.
"What do you say?" said Su Wenqi.
I said, "I have not seen this with my own eyes, so remember not to talk nonsense." Fang Wenqing was lying on the wall buttress and shrugged his shoulders, but he couldn't laugh.
Su Wen finally understood the initiator, but looking at the whispers inside and outside the fort, the fighting spirit was high, where was the tension before the war?
Then he kicked Fang Wenqing and changed the topic: "In which direction is the beacon we met that day, and how far is it from here?"
Seeing that Su Wen was serious, Fang Wenqing stopped laughing, pointed to the mountain on the left, and said, "Take the big road, go out of the mountain pass and change for 50 miles." When I saw the shepherd's fortress I saw that day, I turned left for more than 30 miles. ”
Then he turned around and pointed to the big mountain: "From this straight line, you can cross the mountain, about 30 miles, the road is full of mountains and forests, there is a rugged path between the canyons, usually few people pass, I am afraid it is difficult to walk." The other day there was a war going on in that shepherd's fort. Brother Su has something to do?"
Su Wen was silent, and Fang Wenqing's fingers were straight and there was really a faint feeling in his heart. I have a plan in my heart.
"Even if the demon beast is very fast, but if you defend the city wall, the demon beast shouldn't have many chances, right?" Su Wen asked with doubts in his heart.
"I haven't fought a big war, I don't know the situation. According to the records and Lao Zhu's oral account, there are many types of demon beasts, and they did not attack the city in the early days, but only surrounded the city to find flaws. After hunting people outside the city, they will dig into the ground at night, or climb walls, infiltrate quietly, leave with one blow, and never fall in love with battle. When the people in the city are tired and tired, it is the time to fall into the city. The trolls suddenly appeared, broke down the walls, and swarmed in. At the mention of this, Su Wenqing's sword eyebrows suddenly twisted together.
He said gloomily: "The so-called victory in history, according to my analysis, is actually a few months or a few years. When the demon beast retreated on its own, there was no record of victory. ”
"Before there were immortal arts and immortal stones, humans had almost no power to fight back, and could only be trapped in the lonely city. After the discovery of the fairy stone, human beings spent a lot of money to raise the beast and the fairy stone flying car, and they only supported each other to protect some more cities. ”
"There are walls, food, land, and people inside and outside the border city. It should be able to hold on for a while, right?" Although Su Wen didn't understand military affairs and demon beasts, he always felt that he should see if there was a way to break the situation as an earthling.
"I don't approve of the border city sending people to save the shepherd's fortress. You should take back the city first, observe the situation, and then make plans. In the field, if there is no immortal master to help, if there are enough demon beasts, 3,000 people are afraid that they will not even be able to see the fortress. If you retreat to the city, you should be able to hold out for a while, maybe there is foreign help. It's a pity that some people are unpredictable, don't report their secrets, and have frequent internal friction. I'm afraid that there are not enough people in the city now, and the border city is too big, if a demon beast touches into the city, some people flee, some people guard, and each has a mountain. , if it is broken at one point, the border city will be broken. The monster only needs to drive people away from the city and slowly hunt them on the grassland. It's also enough to eat for a while. ”
"What can we do?"
"Stay here, monsters don't like to leave enemies behind them. Those who run to the Song Kingdom have a better chance of survival. There are so many people in the border city, I hope that the number of these demon beasts is not large, and they will not be able to kill people in a short time. Fang Wenqing said lightly.
Su Wen was really puzzled: "This demon beast is too smart, isn't it? And why does it have to eat people?"
Fang Wenqing couldn't cry and laughed: "That's why it's called a "demon"? Everyone wants to understand why the monster kills. After studying for tens of thousands of years, the conclusion is about human... It's more delicious."
It makes sense, but Su Wen still doesn't believe it. Could it be that eating people replenishes the brain?
Lao Zhu Jing came over quietly and stretched out his hand: "The vultures are flying in the distance, and someone and the demon beast are coming." ”
Su Wenqing shouted loudly: "Be on guard." Ready"
After a while, everyone replied in unison: "Wind." After a period of chaos, the commanders of various places shouted one after another: "Take position." ”
The two carts slowly rose slightly higher than the city walls, forming a triangle of cross fire with the city gates.
There was a creaking winch from the bed crossbow.
Su Wen couldn't understand the password, and he was afraid of causing chaos. Then everyone put arrows on the crossbow and waited quietly on the wall.
There was silence in the military array, and the post fort gradually became a sense of slaughter.
Some veterans looked solemn, and some recruits were full of expectations. Aspire to die.
The war quietly began.
A large cloud of dust drifted from the gallop road in the distance, and a large group of men and horses slowly came from the direction of the border city.
The grasslands in the near distance are still verdant, and the grass in the distance is stained with blood. If you have an aerial perspective, along the line of the main road, the fleeing people gathered into several large arrays of black pressure and slowly moved towards Liubao. There was a large trail of blood behind him, and the road turned red wherever he passed. A long red line was left in the steppe.
A team of people in brocade clothes and fresh horses suddenly accelerated, bypassed the crowd, and went straight to Liubao. caused countless cheers and scolding, and the team did not disperse because of this. Someone shouted: "Leave these turtle grandsons alone, keep the formation, keep the formation." Spears protect both sides, don't mess around!!"
The men and horses who rushed out swept past Liubao and saw that Liubao was heavily guarded. The speed has been reduced slightly.
Fang Wenqing clenched his fists and shouted: "Who is coming?"
When the other party saw Fang Wenqing, he didn't answer, and suddenly accelerated his horse and went to the Song Kingdom.
Lao Zhu said on the side: "It's the Chamber of Commerce and the Zhou family's gang of turtle grandchildren." Fortunately, the formation was not disturbed, otherwise it would have been cut with a thousand knives. ”
The horse team galloped away, and in the knee-high grass beside the roadside, a ghostly shadow suddenly jumped into the air and hit the horse's buttocks. Some zebras were frightened and stood on their own, while others slowed down. Some screamed, some fell off their horses, and dozens of people continued to move on.
More than a dozen figures were parallel to the left and right like lightning, and then they crossed the horse team, gradually got closer, intercepted the horse team's march in the opposite direction, and forced the horse team to squeeze together. More than a dozen horses collided and rolled to the ground.
The dozen or so figures who were the first to attack did not entangle with the wounded horses and fallen knights, and followed the horse team in hot pursuit. In an instant, it formed a triangle and forced the horse team to stop and surrounded it.
Su Wen seemed to see the picture of the lions hunting zebras in the documentary. When the lions catch a zebra, they stop hunting and eat in groups. But the demon beast in front of him didn't stop eating, and he didn't even look at the injured, it was calm and efficient like a slaughtering machine.
"The demon beast is also cruel, right? If you are injured, you can run, both horses are enough to eat, do you have to kill them all?" When Su Wen complained, he felt a cool breath rush from under his feet to the top of his head.
Fang Wenqing's forehead was bruised, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The injured will not die for a while and a half, these wounded are stored food." ”。
The horse team was forced to stop, and the horses were huddled in a heap in horror. The riders on the periphery could only jump off their horses, and those who were squeezed in the middle even dismounted in the extravagant hope.
Those who dismounted had not yet gained a foothold. The monsters left a gap in the direction of the horse's head and surrounded them on three sides. The horses were again in a state of panic, and when they saw the road ahead, they galloped wildly.
There was a sturdy guy in strong armor who was originally in the middle, but when he saw the opportunity, a harrier rolled over and floated out of the herd, and rolled on the spot to remove the momentum. The shield was quickly erected in the left hand, and the short sword was drawn in the right hand. Bow and arrow half-knelt on the ground, roared, stared at the blood-red eyes, staring at the rushing demon beast, obviously ready to fight to break the net.
The demon beast rushed straight towards it like thunder. When you are close to the front, you suddenly turn in a direction and jump in the air, the target is not yourself? Rather, another person a few meters to the right. The guy secretly said that it was not good, and he didn't look back, so he raised his shield and moved to his left. There was a "bang" sound, and sure enough, a demon beast was blocked. However, the strength of the demon beast was too great, and the young man's left arm was numb, and the shield was taken off. He was about to shout and stab a sword, but he didn't hear the sound he made, and a chill came from his throat, and the person suddenly paused.
The young man lay on the ground, choking his neck hard, but he couldn't stop the blood from seeping out. After a while, the strength in the young man's body seemed to be drained. Only then did he know that he was going to die, and the net unwillingness in his eyes was revealed, presumably because he hated not being able to kill the demon beast with a sword.
The demon beast ignored the guy, and didn't even take a second look. Standing up, he quickly joined the queue and chased after the fleeing herd. The horses were huddled together, unable to get up at speed, and were easily caught up by the monsters...
The demon beasts that had packed up the horse team stopped, and some simply lay on the ground, panting and basking in the sun...
Su Wen witnessed the whole hunting process, and finally understood where these people's fear of animals came from, and he broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, and muttered to himself: "It's really a perfect killing, the demon beast is unscathed, and the horse team is completely wiped out, but a few people who died were still killed by falling to death and trampled to death by the horses." ”
"These people are inexperienced and shouldn't run. Walking slowly in a group can lead to a longer life. Lao Zhu heard Su Wen speak and replied. His expression was full of loneliness.
A military academy shouted: "When did the demon beast get so close to Liubao? So many people didn't even find out? They all stared at the fuck with wide eyes, don't die and don't know how to die!!
Su Wen let out a sigh of relief, and his heart ached: those people in the horse team really don't know how they died, and if they go over, I'm afraid the ending will be the same.
Just now, I saw that the demon beasts attacked with their claws, and I was very worried that their claws would cut the rope that bound the armor. I felt the reflective strip in my pocket, and I couldn't care so much. Quickly use reflective tape to tie up a few more layers of protection on your body.
------------
"Can you save it?" someone asked Fang Wenqing.
"If you don't save it, you can live the best, and if you can't get over, no one can do anything, open the city gates. Alert"
The crowd came slowly along the main road.
In the distance, a demon beast quickly approached the crowd and was shot back by an arrow.
As time passed, the crowd slowly moved to the vicinity of the post fort, and there were shouts that everyone would gather under the sky arrow tower with their backs to the city gate and gather together to take shields, spears, bows and arrows in a semicircle.
Several great men carried a wounded man into the post fort,
"It's Mr. Academy, I'll ask about the situation" Fang Wenqing went downstairs.
Everyone looked at Su Wen, presumably with Su Wen as the leader. Su Wen couldn't understand the situation, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he quickly raised his head and made a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.
Fang Wenqing had just gotten down the city tower. In the group of demon beasts that were slowly approaching outside Liubao, several leopard demons suddenly burst out and rushed straight towards the arrow tower of the city gate. The incident happened in a hurry, no one commanded, and the leopard demon had come to the land of an arrow in an instant, some people shouted, and some people coaxed and released arrows. The leopard demon ignored it and swept across the city walls. The soldiers wasted dozens of feather arrows in vain.
Su Wen stared at the leopard demon galloping in front of him, the black tail looked familiar, and he thought about it, hey! This is not the end of Su Mei's scorched tail at the door of the beacon? Looking at its deterrent appearance is really infuriating. Su Wen scolded: "I'm going to NM!" raised his hand to be a crossbow, and the crossbow arrow carried the sound of the wind, and it was like electricity.
Su Wen had never practiced this crossbow, and he was shooting at a long-range moving target. Neither did it use Wangshan to aim, nor did it count as a good amount in advance. Nor do they have the luxury of hitting the target.
The leopard demon suddenly heard a familiar voice, and hurriedly stopped and glanced at Su Wen, sure enough, it was the enemy, the enemy was very red when he saw each other, and opened his bloody mouth at Su Wen, showing his fangs, and let out a roar.
Su Wen shot this crossbow purely to vent his anger. I didn't think that the leopard demon was following behind, and I saw that the leopard demon in front of me suddenly stopped roaring, and slowed down to see what was going on. Leng unexpectedly noticed a black shadow with a whistling and flying towards him. Subconsciously jumped to the side, but he didn't want to "snap" and hit a leopard demon passing behind him, the leopard demon was too fast, and it was easy to fall to the ground once the balance was broken. When these two collided, they also brought down the one with the black tail. The three-headed leopard demon rolled to the ground like a gourd. When the crossbow bolt flew by, it wasn't just the leopard demon's legs that stretched out, just blocking the way. When the three leopard demons stopped, everyone saw a leopard demon lame with a crossbow arrow stuck in his leg.
The crowd cheered, and the carts and the crossbowmen on the turrets saw that there was an opportunity, and they fired a volley without waiting for the order. The strong archers on the walls estimated the distance and fired an arrow.
Around the leopard demon who struggled to get up, a rain of arrows fell in an instant, and there was no way to avoid it. The desperate leopard demon let out a wail, and was immediately nailed to the ground by a 2-meter-long crossbow arrow.
The crowd of people who stood on the city wall instantly erupted into a tsunami-like cheer..........
Seeing that the bed crossbow was powerful, the demon beasts immediately stopped provoking, slowly bent down, and hid in the grass.
........
Su Wenqing heard the alarm and immediately returned to the city wall. But he didn't see the trace of the demon beast, so he dared to pick a dozen people, and ran to the leopard demon under the cover of the archers... Fortunately, the monster didn't kill a carbine......
Fang Wenqing adjusted his breathing, and introduced the battle situation as slowly and clearly as possible: "The leader is the gentleman of the academy, who brought out more than 3,000 students and miscellaneous servants from the academy. Alas.... The big man had already run away, and one of the two walls of the border city was undefended, and the demon beast took advantage of the night to touch the city. Fortunately, the academy had its own defense system, and the students also obeyed the deployment and barely kept watch for half the night. It was only in the early hours of the morning that he withdrew, and at dawn he was targeted by the demon beast again, killing and wounding hundreds of people. ”
"They're running out of arrows, and if they don't have reinforcements, they'll soon be like the people in front of them." Someone added on the side.
Then someone complained: "The good news is that there are not many demon beasts. X Uncle's ... The border city should be able to withstand it. ”
Lao Zhu sighed and said, "It's not the first time, it was like this more than 10 years ago." At that time, there were several clans who were too good at their calculations, and there were not enough people on the city walls. If only a few more people were guarding, my wife wouldn't have died. ...
On the second day, more than 10,000 people gathered near the post fort, all of whom ran out of the border city. Su Wenqing organized the personnel into several large formations on the spot and dug up the soil and set up the village. It took one night to build earthen walls, and although the earthen walls were not high, they were better than being exposed in the wilderness and being wantonly besieged and killed.
Heroes emerge in troubled times, Su Wen was a little embarrassed to be praised by others, and sat on the city wall and thought: It turns out that my talent and luck are all on my body. On the earth, it belongs to the water and soil!! Thank God that the place where you fight for IQ didn't starve to death. It must be that the heavens can't see it, so I changed the map and built a new number. But with this new picture, how can we live?
There is a shortage of food in the post fort. Fang Wenqing gathered a lot of old departments. The formation was rearranged and most of them were ready to get back on the road. On the way to the Song Kingdom, some of the ambushed knights were still alive, and the moans were faintly wafting from the grassland, and people were terrified to hear.
In the afternoon, the brigade set off for the Song Kingdom, the ranger guy who was ambushed yesterday was not dead, although he couldn't move, watching the crowd slowly move towards him, he made a faint hehe sound in his mouth, but he was bitten by a silent demon beast on the neck, and quietly dragged to the mountains and forests not far away.
The team came to the end of sight safely, and Liubao did not encounter any more harassment from demon beasts. And the battle ended so silently?
In the evening, a group of city guards, all wounded, entered the post fort in a sparse formation like walking corpses.
It also brought more news.
The herdsmen's fortress was still fighting, and the first people to come to the rescue rushed into the fortress before the large group of demon beasts gathered, and the demon beasts surrounded but did not attack. Later, wolf smoke burned in the border city, and most of the people fled to Liangdi. Now the demon beasts are scattered on the grassland to kill the people who have escaped.
The city guards relied on the hard armor and returned to the border city to check the situation. When encountering a demon beast, the killed panicked and could only run to Liubao to take refuge, but it happened that the Liubao soldiers were strong and strong.
It was getting late, and someone was building a bonfire, and everyone was silent around the bonfire.
"The monster needs time to slowly kill the people who escape. It's safe for now. Fang Wenqing said.
"Is this TM even a win?" Lao Zhu smashed a wine glass on the ground and scolded angrily.
"We killed a demon beast here, I heard that Mubao also killed a few over there, if the demon beast retreats like this, and the person is still alive, this is a tragic victory!" An officer of the Song State weighed it and made a summary.
When Su Wen heard this, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, "How many people have died in the border city? How many people are still dying? Even if it is tens of thousands of pigs, it will take a few days, right?"
Su Wen's chest seemed to be stuffed with a stone, and his heart hurt, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Alas!! It's really miserable to be a human being!"
"Otherwise?" Fang Wenqing's words dispelled Su Wen's interest in continuing to speak.
"!" Su Wen felt that only this word could express the mood of the moment. For the earthlings at the top of the food chain, no matter what, they can't accept that humans are killed like chickens and dogs. The most terrifying thing is that there are dying humans as dry food? The living are glad that someone is more unlucky than themselves!!
The call from afar became very clear, and Su Wen subconsciously knew that he needed to pass. If you guessed correctly, how you came last time, how you can go back this time. What's more, I can't stand this kind of grievance at all.
Riding an ownerless zebra casually outside the city gate, he said to Fang Wenqing standing on the city wall: "Leave me alone, I'll kill a few demon beasts to relieve my anger, don't pass by!"
After running two steps, he turned back and shouted: "You are a good person, I am proud of you with a friend like you" As soon as the words fell, he disappeared into the night, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves gradually disappearing......
Fang Wenqing was inexplicable, stood up and was about to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he saw the guy who was radiating light disappearing into the darkness...... Stunned......
The people on the city walls who saw this scene were all looking at each other - was it hell?
Su Wen was a little puzzled that no one paid attention to him. I didn't notice it -- the reflective stripes on the campfire were shining...........
