In the tenth year of the Taichu Dynasty, on the third day of the third month of March, the northeast coast of the Shenzhou Continent.

On a sunny afternoon, a flock of seabirds soars above the blue sky, and spring has just arrived in the north, and the freshly sprouted grass is spread on the ground like a carpet from the sea.

The scenery is so pleasing to the eye, but the soldiers stationed in this stronghold are not in the mood to enjoy this picturesque scenery.

A large group of black dots on the sea level in the distance are slowly approaching the seashore, and the staff stationed here nervously hold binoculars and look at those black spots.

It was a huge fleet, dense and endless.

The general knew that this was definitely not the fleet of the Xia Kingdom, and now the Xia Kingdom only had a dozen sea ships in the whole country.

Realizing that these fleets were not coming well, he hurriedly asked the soldiers to light wolf smoke.

According to the speed at which the ship approached, it could be docked before dusk, and the stronghold here was only three hundred men, and the soldiers suddenly felt extremely desperate in the face of so many enemies.

Panic spread among the crowd, and the general knew that if he continued to develop without the enemy's fight, he would collapse.

According to the military law of the Xia State, those who retreat without a fight are beheaded, rather than being executed by their own people for treason, it is better to die vigorously.

The news of the enemy's attack had been sent, and the general had gathered three hundred soldiers in the stronghold.

"Brothers, it seems that this time is the time for us to serve the country, you have also seen the play performed by the performance troupe from Jingshi, and you also understand what will happen if you let those people set foot in Shenzhou, most of you have your own wives and children, we take a step back today, what awaits them will be something more terrible than death, today we will stay here, I ask you if you are afraid." The general shouted loudly.

Everyone was terrified in the face of death, but in order to protect their wives and children behind them, the soldiers shouted: "Don't be afraid! ”

The general nodded and said in a loud voice: "The enemy will soon land on the shore, you robes, this is our burial place, follow me to kill the enemy." ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The roar of three hundred people in unison soared into the sky, as if to let the gods in the sky take a look at the tenacious spirit of mankind.

After the soldiers were in high spirits and stabilized their morale, the general asked the reserve of wine to be brought over and everyone took a big sip.

The strong wine in the stomach dispelled the chill in the hearts of the soldiers, and the hand holding the weapon stopped trembling, the battle of the race is either you die or I die, there is no second choice.

No one has ever thought of surrendering, surrendering to a foreign race, and what awaits them is probably more terrible than death.

The city defense equipment was moved to the city wall, which was not the key defense target of the Xia Kingdom, and there was only one bronze heavy cannon and three bed crossbows in this small stronghold.

In the face of a menacing enemy, with a force of 300 people, he could only resist the city.

It was five days away from Guiyu City, and it was almost impossible to wait for reinforcements, and now the soldiers were only looking forward to killing a few more kicks before they died, delaying the pace of the invasion, so that the troops in the rear had time to prepare.

On the narrow city walls, the soldiers were ready for battle. Looking at the increasing number of black spots on the sea, everyone knew that they would soon be bleeding on the field.

The enemy ship on the sea stopped, and at this distance, the figure of the ship could be seen walking back and forth from the telescope.

The ugly-looking dinosaur people lowered their boats and approached the shore with soldiers in silver armor.

"Artillery ready!" The general yelled.

The artillerymen hurriedly adjusted the angle of the artillery, and the soldiers holding the torches quietly waited for the order to ignite.

The general constantly estimated the distance of the enemy, and when the enemy came within range of the artillery, he shouted: "Ignite!" ”

The artillery, which had already been prepared, immediately lit the fuse, and with a deafening cannon sound.

Solid shells whizzed towards the enemy ships.

"Wow!"

The first shot had no mass target, and the powerful shells fell into the water and set off waves several meters high.

The thunder in the clear sky made the dinosaurs move at a halt in speed, and they looked at the water area where the cannonballs fell in great panic.

Suddenly, a dinosaur man, as if he had noticed where the thing had fallen, pointed in the direction of the stronghold and screamed a few times.

The dinosaur soldiers rowed their boats and quickly approached the shore.

"Angle and blast them to death." The general yelled.

Although the artillerymen moved quickly to clean the chamber, but the front-loading smoothbore gun loading was very locked, these artillery after more than a year of training, it can be said that they are qualified artillery, but after the second round is loaded, there are already dinosaur soldiers on the coast.

With an order, the cannon roared again, and this time, the powerful cannonball hit a small boat at once, instantly tearing the boat to pieces, and the dinosaur people who were swept away by the cannonball immediately flew like pieces of paper.

The terrible damage caused by the cannonballs suddenly suppressed the dinosaur people, and the dinosaur people who had already landed on the shore gathered together in panic and looked ahead in fear.

Seeing the broken corpses floating on the sea, the dinosaur people were frightened, and some of the small boats stalled, and some slowly retreated.

As the dinosaur man hesitated, the artilleryman reloaded the shells again.

"Fight those monsters on the shore!" The general said in a deep voice.

The artilleryman adjusted his angle and aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the group of dinosaur people gathered on the beach.

The cannons rang out together, and the dinosaur soldiers huddled together like sardine cans, which was a huge target for the artillerymen, and the shells fell, tearing a bloody path as soon as the machine went.

The power of the cannonball did not diminish after it fell, and the ejected cannonball pierced the chest of a dinosaur man, and the silver armor he was wearing was as vulnerable as a piece of paper.

The terrible scene caused by this cannon immediately frightened the dinosaur people, and seeing the tragic death of their companions at close range, the terrified dinosaur people began to flee towards the sea.

But the retreating dinosaur people were mercilessly slaughtered by a few of their strong counterparts before they could escape the boat and the three.

After killing a dozen people in succession, the fleeing soldiers finally stabilized, only this time, as if they had learned wisely, the dinosaur people did not gather together, scattered, and waited for the arrival of their companions behind.

"Keep attacking!" The general yelled.

Although there was only one bronze cannon and the rate of fire was only two minutes per shot, but in the face of unknown weapons, the dinosaur people were also blinded for a while, and as the sun gradually set in the west, after losing four small boats, the dinosaur people finally retreated.

Although this attack caught the enemy by surprise, the joy of victory still inspired the soldiers.

Amid the cheers of the soldiers, the general knew that this victory was only temporary, that artillery was not omnipotent, and that with only one of them, it was difficult to hold the stronghold.

As long as the enemy reacts and rushes directly with a huge number of people, the artillery is basically useless.

In the telescope, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the general saw the enemy's warship floating calmly on the sea, and there was not a single figure on board, and he did not know what conspiracy was brewing for these ugly enemies.

The dinosaur people did not attack at night, and the soldiers had a rare peaceful night.

At dawn, the soldiers hurriedly ate breakfast and gathered on the city walls, staring vigilantly at the sea.

It was an unwritten rule in the army that the grain storage fields in the stronghold had been poured with oil and covered with hay, and as soon as the stronghold was breached, the granaries would be burned down immediately.

As the sky became brighter and brighter, the dinosaur people, who had been calm all night, finally moved.

This time, the dinosaur people sent out far more boats than yesterday, and from a distance they looked densely packed like ant colonies.

The soldiers swallowed their saliva and clenched their weapons, so many enemies, this small stronghold, as fragile as an eggshell.

When the dinosaurs came into range of the cannons, the roar of the cannons rang out again.

This time, it seems that the dinosaur people have found a way to deal with this weapon.

The scattered boats quickly approached the beach, and the dinosaur people who moved quickly quickly divided into small groups and assembled on the shore after landing.

In just ten minutes, there were thousands of dinosaur people scattered on the shore, and a large number of boats approached the shore on the sea in the distance.

With a gloomy face, the general took the telescope and saw that some of the ships on the sea were carrying large bed crossbows, and there were at least dozens of them.

The artillery roared from time to time, claiming dozens of lives with each hit on a target.

"Woo~"

With a low howl, the dinosaur people who had already landed and assembled immediately launched a charge towards the stronghold.

The speed at which the dinosaur people ran made the soldiers defending the city break out in a cold sweat.

"Archers, bed crossbowmen ready!" The general shouted hurriedly.

The dinosaur man roared, shield weapon in hand, and rushed towards the stronghold.

The artillery bombarded the boats in the distance, and as soon as the charging dinosaurs came within range of the bed crossbows, several bed crossbows immediately began to fire.

The spear-like crossbow arrows whistled towards the dinosaur man, and one dinosaur man was directly pierced through the chest by the high-speed crossbow arrow.

The sheer power of the bolt carried the soldier upside down, knocking down the soldier behind him, causing the charging dinosaur man to rush for a moment.

"Shoot the arrows!"

A hundred archers, who had already been prepared, unleashed a dense rain of arrows.

In the face of cold weapons such as bows and arrows, dinosaur people are not afraid.

Holding a shield, he continued to charge in the face of a rain of arrows.

Coming to a distance of more than 20 meters from the city wall, the shield bearer of the dinosaur man quickly formed a human wall, and the archers behind took advantage of the cover of the shield hand to throw themselves at the city wall.

The bow and arrow of the dinosaur people are different from the longbow of the Xia Kingdom, and the twenty is similar to the recurve bow, with much stronger strength than humans, the arrows shot make the soldier's iron armor useless.

The soldiers who were shot screamed and fell from the top of the wall, and the dense rain of arrows prevented the soldiers on the wall from raising their heads.

With the suppression of bows and arrows, the tall dinosaur man rushed to the city wall and set up a human ladder, and the dinosaur man behind screamed and stepped on the back of his companion and rushed to the city wall.

"Kill, knock them down." The general roared.

The sword and shield hand bowed with his shield and rushed towards the attacked city.

A dinosaur man's green hand had just touched the city wall when a sharp steel knife slashed down.

After a scream, he grabbed his broken arm and fell down the city wall.

But as there were more and more dinosaur people under the city walls, the pressure on the defending human soldiers suddenly doubled.

"Still stones, dung water." The general roared.

The prepared equipment for defending the city rained down, and the enemy, who was drenched in hot dung, covered his face and let out a heart-rending scream.

The stubborn resistance of the officers and soldiers defending the city has done great damage to the dinosaur people, and a large number of corpses have been piled up under the three-meter-high city wall, and the enemies who have not died are wailing in pain under the city.

The vanguard of the dinosaurs stormed the direction of the city gate, and when the follow-up troops of the dinosaurs landed, dozens of bed crossbows, dragged by the strong dinosaurs, came quickly towards the stronghold.

In the face of the tide of enemies, the soldiers had long forgotten their fears, watching their former companions die in front of them one by one, and the angry soldiers had already killed their red eyes and repelled the enemy's attacks again and again.

In the face of the stubborn resistance of the humans, the vanguard of the dinosaur people suffered heavy casualties and slowly retreated towards the follow-up troops.

Although the enemy retreats without confusion, the archers cannot deal effective damage to them.

The soldiers, who breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, leaned against the wall tiredly, and some of the soldiers gathered the bodies of their dead comrades and wiped the blood from their faces for them.

"General, the shells are gone." Artillery applied for a frustrated report.

"I see, you can gather the rest of the gunpowder and put it in the artillery!" The general sighed.

"General, if you do this, the artillery will blow up." The artilleryman hurriedly said.

"I know this, and I hope we will be brothers in heaven again."

Several artillerymen glanced at the general deeply, understood the meaning of these words, and bowed deeply: "My subordinates swear to follow the general!" ”

The general nodded and told them to step aside.

"Li He!" The general shouted.

When a strong man heard this, he hurriedly ran over and said, "What's the matter with the generals!" ”

"How many grenades do you grenadiers have!"

"There are more than a hundred left!"

"Gather your people to defend here in a while, I estimate that they will attack this city gate here in a while, the grenades are gone, you use knives, fists and teeth, if I die, the army will be commanded by you, our task is to drag the enemy here and buy time for General Zhao and them."

"General! You... ”

The general waved his hand and said, "We may all die here, and now we don't matter our grade, you and I will be brothers in the next life." ”

"Subordinates understood!" Li He bowed to the general.

After a short break, dozens of bed crossbows of the dinosaur people were ready.

The general was a little surprised in his heart, it was okay to defend the city, it was used to attack the city, even if there were a little more of them, it was useless, and he couldn't figure out what these aliens were doing with this thing.

The dinosaur man was ready, and the soldier who operated the bed crossbow pulled the rope hard, and dozens of crossbow arrows whistled and flew towards the city wall.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

The powerful power of the crossbow arrow instantly broke through the wall bricks and stapled to the city wall.

The general was stunned for a moment, wondering why these enemies only shot at the city wall and not at people, did they still want to use crossbow arrows to collapse the wall?

But when his eyes fell on those crossbow arrows, he immediately reacted, these crossbow arrows were actually made of steel, which was not used to kill people at all.

Hurriedly shouted: "Bed crossbowman, return fire and suppress the enemy's bed crossbow!" ”
