658 siege and defense battles

"Who gave them the courage to attack a treacherous pass head-on!" I muttered silently to myself.

Moreover, this mixed coalition army only has four or five thousand people, and it is actually a military city with at least one or two thousand regular troops in the frontal tough city? Is this a new way to send people to death?

I was standing here wondering when suddenly a mutation struck out in the miscellaneous coalition on the other side. A huge snake head suddenly rose out of thin air from the crowd. Catching up with a snake the size of a small car, two eyes flashing with thunder and lightning are observing the situation of the entire Niangzi Pass.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but froze.

First of all, I didn't know exactly when the serpent came out of the crowd. Looking at their motley alliance formation just now, there is no room for such a large snake to hide! This reminds me of the scene when I summoned mandarin ducks or Xiaoyu from the mall. Could it be that people here have the same skills as me? Is there a Inheritor who can use the Inheritance? In that case, will not the enemy come for me?

In addition, when I saw the huge snake head observing the situation everywhere, I suddenly remembered some exploration programs I had watched before the crossing, and it was said many times that all kinds of snakes actually have very poor vision, and they all rely on their tongues to identify directions and prey! But this one in front of me is obviously different, and the two eyes that are sparking electric sparks are obviously observing the terrain!

But after a closer look, I noticed that the giant snake had electric sparks coming out of its eyes. But it was still different from the appearance of the giant snake demon I had seen on the grassland, at least the one in front of me didn't have a single horn on its head. And there is no spitting lightning from the mouth...... It's also much smaller.

While I was wondering what was going on, I saw a man in the crowd dressed in various gems and wearing a huge head-wrapping hat. After the man walked out of the crowd, he pointed directly at the guard who had been closed by the lady, and then shouted loudly: "Hey! Ants in your way! This place is favored by the holy flame messenger of light and sacredness. Let go of your resistance, light the sacred fire, and give your lives! ”

This person's arrogant voice directly angered the Tang generals guarding the pass, and then scolded the other party.

And I was drawn to what this man was talking about as a 'messenger of the fire'. Although he took out his binoculars and searched in the crowd for a long time, he didn't see the appearance of that person, like the messenger he said. But I remembered that I was beneath a small city deep in the prairie, and that I had been given a token by the Zoroastrian leader. Although this thing has long since been forgotten by me in a corner of the warehouse. In retrospect, it seems that the old man also installed me the title of messenger! At that time, in order to get out of the predicament quickly, especially when I got the hint of 'Daping'~ that is, the orchid dancer who I thought was dead, but appeared in the Zoroastrian camp, I reluctantly accepted it...... But now there is another one!

Moreover, this Zoroastrian was able to summon a giant serpent out? Didn't you say that these inherited things were all distributed from the 'Kishita Academy' back then? Why did it run into the hands of the Hu people again?

I'm looking down here to wonder if there's some inside story here. The arrogant caller had already quarreled with the gatekeeper of the Niangzi Pass. Then I saw that the other party really commanded a ragtag army of thousands of people to rush towards the gate of the level. And the serpent began to make a move.

After I saw that the battle started directly, I hesitated for a moment, and then I directly began to call the two of them. After all, the giant snake outside still looked very scary. I'm worried that if there are no mandarin ducks and ducks, this lady will not be able to withstand the attack of the giant snake at all! In case this thing is the same as the snake demon I encountered before, if it spits thunder directly, it is estimated that these defenders will not be able to carry it in a wave!

It's a pity that I don't know if the mandarin duck and the duck are too drunk or some other reason, no matter how I called, I even squatted in a corner and crossed back in person, pulling the faces of the two people who were sleeping on the ground, and turned around several times in three circles left and three times on the right, but failed to wake up the two. And everyone else is in a state of complete can't wake up at all!

While I was worrying, I suddenly felt a shaking of my body, and then I quickly pressed the mark on my chest again to return to the outside world. At a glance, it was found that it was the huge snake that began to violently hit the gate of the Niangzi Pass with its head, and then took its tail and pumped it vigorously to the Great Wall walls on both sides of the level. I was awakened by these vibrations!

"I'll go! That's a lot of strength! However, it is good that there is no thunder in the mouth! I said as I stood up slowly against the wall.

However, the gate closed by the lady is still very strong, after the impact of this big snake, there is no trace of injury at all, but this giant snake is still beating the city wall here with its snake tail, I began to suspect that the other party wants to tear down the city wall in this way!

Immediately afterward, I found that the Tang soldiers guarding the pass immediately returned to normal after experiencing the first wave of impact, and then began to use various city defense weapons on the city wall to start firing back. I hesitated to take a look, only to realize that the enemy coalition had not rushed outside the level, but that the serpent was just hitting the level with its body. So the defenders are now constantly trying to shoot the serpent with various bows and arrows.

But when I saw the arrows being bounced off by the serpent's scales, I knew that the bow and arrow could not do any damage to the serpent.

The commander of the city also noticed this, and immediately saw that he commanded some of the guards to continue to attack the giant snake with arrows, and ordered the soldiers to push out many strange-looking wooden structures from behind.

It wasn't until these were just pushed out of the houses on the city walls, and operated by a dozen men at the same time, and it wasn't until these seemingly complicated weapons attacked that I realized that the pile of square wood was actually a trebuchet and a huge crossbow...... It's just that this device that looks like it has four 'arms' on the left and right is actually a big crossbow, and I really can't believe it! It's so different from the ballistas you've seen in the game! There are actually eight crossbow arms?

And that catapult is even more strange, if it hadn't actually thrown a cobblestone half a meter in diameter and smashed it into the giant snake, I really wouldn't have believed that this thing was a catapult! It's not at all what I imagined. Isn't it in my mind that a catapult should resemble a giant slingshot? This is similar to the 'lever' and similar structure installed in the fighting compartment of the RV at that time, how the hell threw the stone out!

It's a pity that although the giant snake smashed by these giant crossbows and catapults screamed, they failed to repel the giant snake, but instead angered the giant snake and made the opponent's attack frequency faster. After hearing the screams of this giant snake, I began to wonder if this thing was a snake after all, not only did it look good, but it could even howl? It really messed up my impression of snakes!

Also, this thing is too hard-hitting!

Now I can't wake up the most powerful mandarin ducks and ducks under my command, and the battle situation in front of me is completely unfavorable to the defending Tang Army. That's why I'm hesitant to run away first!

But fortunately, the terrain of this Niangzi Pass is treacherous, and both the gate and the city wall of the level are built extremely strongly. Therefore, although the attack power of the giant snake is amazing, every time it hits the city wall with its tail or hits the city gate with its head, it will cause a violent vibration, but it seems that Niangziguan is completely unaffected by the giant snake, and even the gate is not damaged in any way.

Seeing this, I felt a little more relieved. But it won't work like this, after a while those miscellaneous armies also rush over, plus this giant snake that is not afraid of catapults and giant crossbows at all, then if this attack continues, the gate closed by the lady will be knocked open sooner or later!

"Alas! What to do? I can't help at all! The two stinky girls of Mandarin and Duck can't wake up...... Well? That's right! And that thing! "I looked at the busy appearance of the guards on the city wall, I wanted to help but I didn't know how, so I could only bow my head and complain that the two girls were coming.

But then, I remembered that the weapon I had just made some time ago came, and if I had that thing in my hand, I might be able to deal with that snake demon!

Thinking of this, I quickly pressed the mark on my chest again, quickly crossed back into the warehouse, and ran towards the prize. I'm going to wake up the prize and ask where the rough guns I prepared for her are hiding in her! Although the appearance of that thing was rough, the caliber and power were a little lacking. However, that thing must be more lethal than trebuchets and crossbows!

But when I found out that these girls, no matter who they were, they all looked like they couldn't wake up, and I began to wonder what these people had drunk to get drunk like this. I can't wake up even when I smoke my mouth!

Anyway, she secretly drew a few mouths, it seems to be quite cool, her face is fleshy with a hint of baby fat, although she exercises all year round, she has not been affected by the young face~ This whipping feels really good! Especially remembering this girl's hobby of slapping the back of my head from time to time, I couldn't help but slap me a few more times...... Then he hurried away.

Luckily, when I rummaged through the new RV that had been parked here for the time being, I found that the five guns and the gunpowder bag and stone bullets I had made were stored on the second floor of the car, and I began to secretly rejoice. With this, that snake demon should be easy to deal with! Wonderful book

Thinking of this, I quickly moved all the artillery out, and then found the commander on the city wall, and asked him to help borrow a few of my soldiers to set up this artillery to deal with the giant snake.

But one of the officers, who was in a hurry to command the battle, completely ignored my advice, and said to me: If it weren't for the fact that I had a good relationship with their older generation of women's soldiers, and that I had a token issued by the imperial court, he would have had me driven me off the city wall! So, this guy completely ignored my thoughts. You won't lend me troops to help me!

What can I do? I'm not the mighty guy of the award, and these cannons are much lighter than the actual cast guns, although they are made from steel plates. But I can't carry it at all! Not to mention finding a way to set it up and attack that giant snake! I can't even pick up the stone bullets that are used as ammunition now!

When I was worried, I suddenly saw that under the city wall behind me, the new army of the women's army was gathering there, fully armed and guarding inside the city gate, it seemed that they were going to be used as a reserve army, and when the enemy really attacked and opened the gate of the checkpoint, it was up to them to resist the attack of the miscellaneous army!

So, I hurriedly leaned on the wall and shouted at the new women army, asking them to list twenty people to come and help!

Fortunately, these people all know that I have a relationship with the newly created Women's Army, and I am also a position similar to that of a staff general. So they were obedient and directly sent twenty people to help. It's just that when I saw that these twenty people turned out to be the thinnest-looking people in the new army now, I understood that they were only reluctant to obey because of their feelings!

"Huh! So in their eyes, I'm not worth mentioning at all? "When I saw their expressions, I suddenly felt dissatisfied! It's obviously very good to these people! It was to provide them with good food and drink, and to help these recruits find people to train and so on, but I didn't expect that in their hearts, I was only reluctant to obey because of their feelings...... This can't help but make me feel that it is not worth cultivating and building this women's army!

Some disappointed, some regretful! At that time, I even thought that after the construction of this women's army, they would be my other thigh and help! Didn't expect to be looked down upon? What the hell is this?

After a moment of disappointment, I was awakened by the shock of the serpent's impact. I now suddenly realize that this is not the time for sadness and disappointment. I've got to get rid of the matter in front of me first! After all, those people are probably coming for me. Let's get rid of what they're talking about first! As for these women's soldiers~ I don't care about it in the future, let the award and her girlfriends scare it!

Thinking of this, I reorganized my mentality, and then commanded the twenty new troops of the reluctant Women's Army, and began to find some suitable materials from the rolling stone and wood on the city wall, so that the artillery could be supported.

At that time, this thing was specially prepared for the purpose of awards, and the girl was so powerful that she carried the cannon on her shoulder and used it as a human turret every time. Although I was shocked that the prize could withstand the reaction force and loud noise of artillery fire, this girl was indeed a strange girl who could use it with a cannon on her shoulder.

So these guns do not have mounts. And the others, I can't use it so roughly! Therefore, the only way to do this is to build a bracket with bricks and stones, and let the cannon be aimed at the giant serpent to attack.

Fortunately, the city wall of the Women's Army Pass built on the mountain is extremely high, and the giant snake has no intention of climbing the wall at all. That's why I was able to command the female soldier to set up the artillery according to my request.

When the five loaded guns were all erected, they were all aimed at the giant serpent that was entrenched in front of the city gate, constantly beating the city wall with its snake tail, and hitting its head at the city gate from time to time.

And I guess no one cares what the little iron pipe I and the twenty men have set up together is for. So the erection process went very smoothly and there was no harassment at all. The serpent didn't even pay attention to us, but just stared at the trebuchets and crossbows.

Oh yes, half of the bolts fired by the giant crossbow were dodged by the giant snake, and the trebuchet only served to provoke the giant snake.

After I had just set up the artillery and aimed it, I was surprised to see that those miscellaneous coalition forces were slowly approaching behind the giant snake, and these people were all holding a small shield, defending and dodging the arrows of the Tang soldiers on the city wall!

It turned out that these arrows were so slow to get the enemy closer. But those people were also shrewd, and when they got closer, they almost all shrunk behind the coiled body of the giant serpent, and then raised their shields. In this way, coupled with the blocking of the giant snake's body, it completely prevented the attack of arrows!

However, I saw the commander on the city wall, and began to direct the soldiers to transfer the rolling stones and sassalwoods to the side of the city wall, and some people even began to light a bonfire inside the city wall, and boiled water in a large pot on it~ There is even boiling hot oil! Are these all for a moment of siege?

Anyway, this is the first time I've seen a real siege, and I've seen it from the city walls. I didn't expect that there are really a lot of weapons to defend against siege! I guess if the other party hadn't had that giant snake, those people wouldn't even be able to get close to the city wall!

However, seeing the appearance of these men hiding behind the coiled body of the giant serpent, and holding small shields against the arrows fired from the city wall, I suddenly ordered the twenty helpers to change the direction of one of the cannons. Switch to those little shields! With such a condescending shot, I don't believe those people can still withstand it......

When everything was ready, I began to estimate the interval between the snakeheads and each time they hit the gates. I found that every time the snake hit, it would raise its head and roar at the city wall, and then shake the snake's head to make a provocative appearance, and by the way, after dodging the attack of the giant crossbow a few times, it continued to hit the next time. Looking at it like this, I feel that the head of the giant snake is not so strong! This provocative appearance, perhaps shaking the snake's head to relieve the pain caused by the impact?

So, I ordered twenty helpers to cut the gun's lead in half. In this case, wait for the head of the snake to hit the gate and leave the fire. That should shoot the snake when it raises its head high and provokes!

After all, these cannons are made of black powder and stone shells, and they have to be ignited by fuses, so the power is not particularly amazing. In my plan, the best outcome would be to scare the serpent away with the impact of the cannon and the loud noise. After all, in my eyes, this thing may not be as powerful as the trebuchet! It's just that the stone bullet is a little smaller, and maybe it brings better penetration.

"Ignition! Avoid! "I was watching the situation down there and directing. The moment I saw the serpent slamming into the city gate, I ran straight back, and then at the same time ordered my helpers to light the fire, and then dodged the smoke of the artillery.

After a loud roar, I heard a terrible beast cry under a bunker on the other side of the wall.

When I curiously leaned over to take a look, I was surprised to see that these five cannons actually made a contribution in one shot~ It was directly shot into three sections of the giant snake~ It seems that the stone projectile of the cannon directly hit the coiled body of the giant snake, and from there it broke the body of the snake, except for the body of the snake's head that is slightly longer, the rest of the body and snake tail are less than one-third of the original size! And that miserable howl turned out to be the roar of a giant serpent. It's just that the body of the giant snake is broken, and the proud snake head can't stand up at all like just now, and can only roll on the ground with a piece of its body, roaring at the same time.

The more terrifying scene was still to come, because the motley army of thousands of people was all hiding behind the snake, and one of the artillery pieces I had to point at them. So I saw all over the place right now, the bodies that had been pierced by the artillery, and the many unlucky people who were being crushed and squeezed by the body of the giant serpent that was writhing unconsciously...... More than half of the motley army of thousands of people was injured because of this!

I'm only now realizing that I'm completely underestimating the power of this crude cannon! Although after this round of salvo, I found that all those guns were destroyed by the erected stones because of the recoil~ The three guns were twisted into twisted barrels because the bottom was pressed too strong, and the two guns were flattened and deformed by the stones pressed above because of the recoil...... But the power of that thing still shocked me.

"I'll go! This~ How did the girl who carried this thing attack others? It's big in the back seat! Don't break the bones and tendons of the person who is holding it! I was surprised. Now I admire more and more that this girl at that time was able to carry this thing to attack during the grassland war. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes. But when I look at the miserable situation in front of me, I know how much recoil the prize was undergoing at that time.

However, I later learned that because the artillery at that time was made into the ignition method of arquebus, the power of the cannon was weakened due to the leakage of the barrel. In addition, the charge of the award at that time was actually not large, so it could resist it. And I had no experience at all this time, so I stuffed a whole bag of gunpowder into the artillery...... To be honest, it was already a miracle that there was no explosion this time. So it was completely different from the power of the launch that was carried by the award at that time.

However, this also sets a precedent for the safe use of the award next time...... At least the next time I do it, I'll cut the gunpowder pack in half.
