Chapter 346: Infinite Mighty Giant Scythe Array
"Bow wind, spear thrower ready!" On the desperate Great Wall, which stretched for three hundred miles, the shouts of the generals of various armies sounded one after another.
All the archers selected from the army put their arrows equipped with obsidian arrows on their bowstrings, and when the order to attack came, they fired arrows from their hands.
The spearmen standing in the back row also carried bundles of obsidian wooden spears and prepared to throw them downward, and everyone was ready to attack.
When the countless people and animals that had turned into ghouls under the Great Wall stopped, several of the leader of the wraiths with mounts marching forward was particularly eye-catching.
They looked at the towering Great Wall of Despair with ice-blue eyes, silently raised their weapons, and the ghouls who had been ordered by the leader of the strangers charged forward with great speed as if they had been stimulated.
Seeing that the enemy had already entered the firing range, all the commanders on the Great Wall shouted with great excitement: "Shoot! ”
The bowstring rang out, and then countless arrows flew out at a rapid pace, forming a black cloud in the gloomy sky, making a perfect arc and stabbing at the endless ghouls below.
In this kind of legion-type battle, it is impossible to make precise aiming, but there are too many ghouls under the Great Wall of Desperation, and there is absolutely no possibility of missing, so there is only one thing the archers have to do, and that is to shoot all the arrows as soon as possible.
Obsidian produced in volcanoes does have the effect of restraining ghosts and ghouls, and any ghoul who is hit by an arrow will immediately turn into ashes if they are stabbed in the body by an obsidian arrow.
Seeing the ghouls disappearing one by one under the desperate Great Wall, this brought enough enthusiasm and courage to the warriors, and the archers, who could only shoot forty or fifty arrows in a short time, also shot more than a dozen rounds.
Countless arrows rained down on the body of the Alien Legion, which did cause great damage to the ghouls, but Li Nan and Tyrion and others who knew about the military situation felt distressed.
The manufacture of arrows is not simple, more than 10,000 archers shot an average of 50 arrows per person in less than ten minutes, that is, 500,000 arrows.
After learning of the attack of the Alien Legion, the people of the North worked day and night, and only produced more than 1.5 million arrows in total, which was equivalent to one-third of the arrow stock.
Distressed is distressed, after all, these arrows were not in vain, at least they killed more than 100,000 ghouls without injury, and Li Nan and the others had to watch the battle quietly.
If it was a human army that had been wiped out by hundreds of thousands of people at the beginning of the war, then this casualty rate would definitely break the morale of the army, but the ghouls without pain and fear, with a constant morale, still fearlessly charged towards the desperate Great Wall.
The commanders of the armies saw that the ghouls had rushed past the best attack position for the archers to throw and entered the pre-calculated place where the spears were thrown, and hurriedly shouted: "Archers withdraw, spearmen, throw spears!" ”
Generally speaking, throwing a spear is simpler than archery, the only thing needed is enough strength to throw the spear, and at this time, there is no need to care about the problem of accuracy, so more than 30,000 soldiers who temporarily acted as spear throwers threw the spears in their hands.
When these soldiers threw out the five rounds of spears, Li Nan, who carefully observed the enemy with a telescope, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked the herald to stop all the soldiers who were still attacking.
"My lord, what did you find?" Hearing Li Nan's order, Sir Thorne, the Onion Knight, and others, who were commanding the battle on the nearby defense line, hurriedly ran over to inquire.
Pointing to the enemies under the city, Li Nan said to them, "Look at these charging ghouls, they seem to be some very weak herbivores and limbsless humans. ”
Receiving Li Nan's prompt, the others also raised their binoculars to observe, and after a while, the onion knight nodded and said: "My lord is right, there are indeed weirdness, it seems that the IQ of the strange ghosts is not low, they are using cannon fodder ghouls, first to consume our arrows and spears." ”
From the beginning of the war, Li Nan had a faint premonition in his heart, but this feeling was very mysterious and could not be grasped or touched.
After thinking for a moment, Li Nan said to the general confession: "At present, we don't know the specific number of the Alien Ghost Legion, and the stock of arrows and spears is not much, so we can't consume it like this." Order all archers and spearmen to rest and stand by and let these undead climb up and use their scythes against them! ”
Li Nan made a lot of sense, it had only been less than an hour since the battle began, and his side had consumed a large number of arrows and spears, thinking that there were still a large number of alien legions under the Great Wall, everyone thought that it was a good idea to use a powerful giant scythe to meet the enemy.
Every few tens of meters on the Great Wall of Desperation, there is a giant scythe with extremely high lethality, as long as this defensive weapon is put down, it will swing back and forth in the shape of a pendulum against the Great Wall, which can easily chop any object into pieces, and the most important thing is that this giant scythe can be used indefinitely.
After the bows and arrows and spear throwing stopped, the countless ghouls who served as cannon fodder came to the edge of the desperate Great Wall, clasped the ice with their rotten hands and claws, and stubbornly climbed upward.
Li Nan, Sir Thorne and others, standing on the edge of the city wall, looked down coldly, and when they saw the ghoul enter the attack area of the giant scythe, the herald blew the horn!
The soldiers who received the order smashed the lock on the scythe with their sledgehammers, and the scythes of astonishing weight fell, and then swayed from side to side with a whistling sound, and all the ghouls within the range of the scythe's fan-shaped attack were swept away, and their mutilated corpses fell to the ground.
All the giant scythes on the Great Wall of Desperation were swaying to kill the ghouls, Li Nan looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "This Great Wall of Desperation is worthy of being one of the nine man-made miracles in the world, as long as there are enough soldiers to defend, and these giant scythe defense arrays, I believe that no one can break through here!" ”
Sir Thorne, who has officially become the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, said proudly: "It is said that when Lord Brandon built the Great Wall of Despair, this place was not so majestic, these are the generations of Night's Watch, who have worked hard to dig out the ice in the river, and slowly built this great miracle Great Wall over time!" ”
As soon as the giant scythe array came out, the ghouls' attacks became futile, and the lords and soldiers who saw this defensive weapon for the first time were relieved, and everyone was deeply convinced that as long as the Great Wall of Desperation did not fall, no matter how many strange ghosts attacked, they were confident that they would destroy them all.
Just when everyone was full of confidence and smiling, the leader of the Alien Legion, the Night King with a small silver crown horn on his head, rode a skeletal mammoth nearly four meters high, and slowly walked out of the Ghost Shadow Forest.
The Night King had once appeared in the flames of the red-robed priestess, so as soon as he appeared, Li Nan immediately took a closer look at the leader of the undead legion with the expensive telescope produced by Mill.
As if sensing his gaze, the Night King looked up slightly at Li Nan, who was standing on the Great Wall of Despair, and then picked up a large brown horn from the elephant's back with an expressionless face.
The horn is eight feet long, and its wide opening can fit into it even below the elbow. The horns are inlaid with ancient runes in gold.
"Something is not good!"
When he saw this horn, Li Nan immediately remembered the dragon's horn that Ashur salvaged from the ruins of Valyria, although the shape of the two horns was not the same, and Li Nan did not know the role of this brown horn, but it was certain that the Night King would not take out a horn to play with during the great battle for no reason.
