Chapter 1149: Siege (I)

"Uhhh

An extremely dull trumpet sounded in the depths of the herd.

At the same time, a bright firelight rose into the sky and exploded in mid-air, glowing with extremely brilliant brilliance.

The herd of beasts, which was already not quiet, suddenly made an uproar, and tens of thousands of rhinoceros-like giant beasts raised their heads and roared angrily, like countless thunders rolling over the sky, shaking the hearts of the defenders in the city, and all of them changed color in shock.

The humanoid demonic beast riding on the back of a giant beast in the center stood up and raised the long knife in its hand high.

This person is undoubtedly the commander of the front line.

The rhinoceros began to run at an accelerated pace, and for a moment the whole earth was shaking. Tens of thousands of giant beasts, running faster and faster, the wind howling, and the dust filling the sky. Soon, the low-slung dwellings in the outer city were destroyed in pieces. Fortunately, the mortals living in the outer city have long since evacuated, but there are no casualties.

Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at these swarming giant beasts.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, Xiao Fan raised his right hand and waved it forward gently.

The black-robed young man nodded heavily, and with a flick of his fingers, a bright firework also rose into the sky at the head of the city, and exploded violently, which was extremely gorgeous.

On the originally empty city wall, countless human heads suddenly poked out, and huge bed crossbows revealed their hideous faces. This was originally a bed crossbow used by mortal armies, but with the blessing of the power of the refiners in Demon Flame City, both the range and the lethality of the crossbow arrows were not the same as before. Although it can't be used to deal with high-level demonic beasts, it is barely enough to deal with low-level demonic beasts.

And the mortal army is well-trained. There are many of them, and it is up to them to deal with the first of these tentative attacks. It's a perfect fit.

"Put!"

The commander of the city, the small red flag held high in his hand, waved down violently.

"Hum-huh-"

The bowstring rattled.

Thousands of them are up to two feet long. Huge crossbow arrows as thick as children's arms shot out of the city.

The arrows of these crossbow arrows were black and shiny, and they were clearly poisonous.

Normally, giant bed crossbows don't look great on the target, and this terrifying weapon is not meant to be used for accurate firing. In the human world, no matter how brave the generals are, they can't withstand a crossbow and an arrow. This kind of giant crossbow arrow, in the mortal world, is generally used against ironclad heavy cavalry. Dozens of bed crossbow salvos. It was enough to disrupt the charging ranks of the heavy cavalry.

Originally, the effective range of this bed crossbow was about a thousand steps, but with the blessing of the cultivator realm refiner, it was increased to four thousand steps.

The Rhino Monster's target is so big that it almost doesn't need to be aimed at at all.

Immediately, an earth-shattering roar sounded, and hundreds of giant demonic beasts were hit by arrows. The sharp crossbow bolts tore through their thick skin, penetrated through their bodies, and then exploded with a bang, and the entire demonic beast was shattered.

Most of the crossbow arrows that didn't hit the giant monster also exploded in the air. A raging fire was ignited.

Soon, there was a fire outside the city wall, burning red, reflecting the sky.

After firing the bolts. The warriors hurriedly wrenched their brackets, preparing to install a second bolt on the bed crossbow. A large group of human warriors clad in heavy armor and armed with smaller crossbow machines. With neat steps, I came to the battlement.

"Put!"

The small red flag in the commander's hand waved again.

These are single-handed crossbow machines. In terms of range, it is much closer than the bed crossbow, even after the blessing of the cultivator. It can only shoot 2,000 paces away. And this is the ultimate range, not the effective range. However, at this time, the launch of the individual crossbow machine was not intended to directly kill and injure the demonic beast.

Hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows shot out, exploding one after another, and instantly burning the outside of the city into a sea of fire.

Immediately, the beast rushed out of the sea of fire, burning to the core, and its body was covered in grease "beeping", and let out a roar of pain. But the vitality of these giant beasts was extremely tenacious, and even if they were covered in fire, they still roared wildly and rushed towards the city walls.

These monsters, who are cannon fodder, are ignorant and ignorant, and only know how to fight, kill, and rest until they die.

At this time, the bed crossbow had been loaded with arrows again, and another salvo came. This time the distance was much closer, and the accuracy was naturally better, and almost two thousand behemoths died under the crossbow arrows. But compared to the total number of tens of thousands of giant beasts, such casualties are not a problem at all.

"Put!"

The second batch of individual crossbow arrows was fired.

At present, the mortal army guarding the head of the city is all elite troops, well-trained, extremely experienced in combat, and knows that ordinary crossbow arrows cannot deal with giant beasts, so they automatically and consciously concentrate the firepower of crossbow arrows to attack the giant beasts that rush to the front.

Dozens of crossbow arrows hit a giant beast at the same time, and then exploded at the same time, Rao is giant beast is extremely thick, with rough skin and thick flesh, and it can't resist it.

In the firelight, a large number of giant beasts were shattered.

However, there are too many behemoths, and only a few are shot and killed.

"Boom-"

The first beast rushed to the bottom of the city and slammed into the walls.

Demon Flame City does not have a moat.

As a city inhabited by cultivators, a moat is not necessary. In the mutual attack of the monks, even if the moat is hundreds of zhang wide, it is useless. Even if he was a lowest-level Qi cultivation stage cultivator, he could easily fly over the moat and go straight to the city wall.

"Boom-"

Immediately after, one after another behemoths crashed into the city walls.

The entire city wall shook violently, and the defenders at the head of the city couldn't help but change color in shock.

Xiao Fan's eyes shone with green, and he could see it clearly. The giant beast was a purely suicidal attack, and every giant beast that rushed over was doing its best, accelerating and accelerating again, without the slightest intention of retreating, and hit the city wall, immediately bursting all over its body, turning into a cloud of blood mist, and large swaths of minced flesh and blood were splashed everywhere.

As soon as these pieces of flesh and blood splashed on the city wall, the smoke suddenly rose up, which seemed to contain a strong corrosive effect, and the runes on the city wall shone rapidly, and even the entire city protection array was buzzing, and in this instant, the spiritual power consumption increased exponentially.

"Boom, boom—"

More behemoths crashed into the walls.

The black-robed young man's face changed slightly, and then he turned his head and ordered: "The city protection array will open two more percent of the power!" ”

"Yes!"

A Jindan disciple of the Black Demon Sect immediately bowed down to receive the order, and a Ten Thousand Miles talisman flew up in his hand, and the order was given.

Under the strict orders of the commander, the defenders at the head of the city still maintained a strict battle formation, methodically loading their crossbow arrows and shooting them out in waves. So far, there have been no flying demonic beasts, the sky above the city is safe, and these suicidal demonic beasts do not pose any threat to them who are on the top of the city wall for dozens of feet.

All they do, all they do, is kill!

After the behemoths, there are more green wolf beasts.

The appearance of these demonic beasts is similar to that of ordinary green wolves, and they are slightly larger, and they are naturally much more vigorous than giant beasts. It's just that there are too many of them, densely packed together, and there is not much room for dodging and moving. Under the heavy blows of crossbow arrows at the head of the city, a large number of casualties had already appeared before they approached the city walls.

Like the giant monsters, this is also cannon fodder.

The green wolf beast completely disregarded life and death, and braved the crossbow arrows pouring down like a torrential rain in the city, and bravely moved forward. When they approached the walls, they did not crash into the walls like giant beasts and commit suicide, but stretched out their strong limbs, firmly grasped the walls, and climbed up quickly.

These green wolf beasts turned out to be good climbers, even if the city wall was very smooth, they couldn't stop them.

From a distance, countless green wolf beasts were like ants, clinging to the city wall, desperately climbing up. In a few moments, they climbed to the middle of the city wall.

"Kill!"

With this shout, countless small square holes suddenly appeared on the smooth city wall, and a sharp spear stabbed straight out of the city wall and pierced deep into the belly of the green wolf beast.

The green wolf beast howled miserably, and blood arrows flew out.

Screams rang out one after another inside the city walls.

It was the scream of a mortal armorer after being splashed with the blood of the Celestial Wolf Beast. Demonic beasts are different from demon beasts, and beast blood is extremely corrosive. The iron armor of the human armor has no power to resist the blood of demonic beasts, once it is contaminated, it is immediately eroded, the skin is open, and the bones are visible.

Just two hours have passed, and the corpses outside the city have been lying in wait, and the remains of countless demonic beasts have fallen under the city wall, and the blood of the beasts is flowing and extremely pungent.

The human armor in the city also suffered a lot of casualties, but fortunately, the shield of the city protection array was not broken, and the casualties of the defenders were far less than the casualties of the demonic beasts.

After countless green wolf beasts were exterminated, hordes of giant pythons began to appear under the city walls.

The offensive mode of these giant pythons is not much different from that of rhinoceros monsters and green wolf beasts, and they are also used as cannon fodder. However, among them, a small number of giant pythons that are particularly large in size and are obviously different from other similar species already have a certain amount of spiritual power fluctuations on their bodies, although they are extremely weak, they are only equivalent to human Qi cultivation period cultivators, but they are already different after all.

This python has stronger defenses, and long-range crossbow bolt strikes are almost useless against them. Crossbow arrows shot at them tend to slip to one side and do no real damage.

Under the attack of dense crossbow arrows, many giant pythons still rushed to the foot of the city wall and began to cling to the city wall, winding upward.

Many giant pythons with spiritual power fluctuations on their bodies resisted the attack of the human armor, climbed straight to the top of the city wall, opened their big mouths, and "hissed" spitting venom, and the pale red light mask of the large array of moats suddenly dazzled red, and where the venom was sprayed, there were obvious signs of instability.

Only a large protective array with a few percent of the power was opened, and there was only the power of protection, and there was no ability to attack.

However, for the sake of this low-level demonic beast, the city protection array will not further increase its power, in that case, too many spirit stones will be consumed. Although the battle of life and death definitely does not account for the cost of spirit stones, it must consider long-term persistence.

Ordinary low-level spirit stones can't support the city protection array, and all that is consumed are middle-level spirit stones. Once the spirit stones are exhausted and the city protection array fails, it will be the time when the city is broken. (To be continued......)
