140 The north gate is in an emergency
"Hit, no. ”
Su Ning'er squeezed Ye Haotian hard, trying to lean out from the battlement, wanting to see how many demon warriors had been killed by the thunderstorm technique she had just released, but as soon as she was halfway out, she was pressed back by Ye Haotian.
"What are you doing, I want to see. Su Ning'er shouted dissatisfiedly.
"What's there to see. ”
Ye Haotian also retracted and hid behind the battlements, which was more than a hundred meters away from the city gate battle zone, just blocking the route of the demon army's archers, in order to avoid Su Ning'er leaking his identity and attracting the attention of the demon generals, he had to be extra careful.
"Right rear, a moment to the east, another thunderstorm. ”
"Good!"
Although she was a little disapprehensive about Ye Haotian's caution, and when she heard that she was asked to release the spell, Su Ning'er immediately threw this little unhappiness behind her, her cherry lips opened slightly, and one by one the obscure spells slowly spit out, and the five red leaves of the colorful green lotus in her hand suddenly converged, and then quickly opened, and the outside of the city was dizzy by the sudden thunderstorm, and dozens of blue lightning appeared on the head of the demon army archer who was about to regroup and continue to complete the bow and arrow suppression order......
......
......
Thunder rolled.
The power grid is intertwined.
After five consecutive thunderstorms, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Su Ning'er's forehead, even with the assistance of the colorful blue lotus, this large-scale spell still had a great consumption on her body.
Nearly half of the six hundred cavalry archers were killed or wounded after inexplicably suffering five thunderstorms, and neither they were dead nor those who fled in rout, and they never saw who the sneak attack was.
There was a loud bang in the distance, a siege ladder was picked out by several cultivators with spears, and seven or eight demon warriors above it fell backwards heavily, the defenders of the city cheered, and others followed suit, while suppressing with bows and crossbows, while destroying the siege ladder, when Ye Haotian pulled Su Ning'er and quietly ran back to the city tower, he just saw the last ladder fall diagonally.
Without the ladder, in the face of the city wall more than eight meters high, the demon army suddenly seemed a little helpless, they raised their weapons to smash the city gate, some of the demon soldiers tried to re-erect the fallen ladder, but they were suppressed by the bows and arrows shot by the defenders of the city, and they did not dare to raise their heads.
The spear on the spearman's back was gone.
The reinforced archers were routed in the middle by Ye Haotian and Su Ning'er.
In the absence of siege engines or other heavy siege equipment, the first siege charge launched by the Demon Blood Skull Legion lasted less than half an hour before ending in failure.
The horn of retreat was finally sounded, and the surviving demon warriors raised their shields and retreated, and the defenders of the city frantically shot the crossbow arrows in their hands, but most of them were blocked by the heavy steel shields in their hands, and they failed to cause effective damage
Although it was a retreat, the formation of the demon army was not messy, they supported each other, and cleaned the battlefield while using shields to resist the rain of arrows shot from the city, and when everyone evacuated, not only did not leave a single wounded on the ground, but even the corpses were all dragged back.
Looking at the demon warriors who withdrew from the range of the bow and crossbow, the defenders of the city were shocked and speechless.
In the minds of most humans, demons are synonymous with savagery, ferocity and bloodthirstiness, they are brutal, savage, greedy, adulterous, and plundering, but they never knew that there was such an orderly and iron-blooded side.
Ye Haotian stood beside Xu Heihu, looking at the general of the Demon Army in the distance, and found that his eyes were also staring at him, although he was far away, he could still feel the anger and bloodlust in his cold eyes.
"Is it over?" asked one of the defenders suddenly.
"We won?"
"Win!"
Cheers gradually sounded on the city wall, many people hugged each other, tears of excitement, in the face of the attack of the Demon Army's Blood Skull Legion, they were already determined to die, but they didn't expect to repel the Demon Army, that is the most cold-blooded elite warrior of the Demon Clan, two thousand troops attacked the city, and they were defeated without even boarding the city wall, thinking about the rumors about the Blood Skull Army that they heard in the past, it seems to be a bit exaggerated, in fact, they ...... It's not terrible.
Unlike most soldier hunters, Xu Heihu's heart was extremely heavy. Because only he knows how much he has paid in this seemingly easy battle.
If it weren't for the luck of getting more than seventy seven-killing crossbows from Zhao Laoxi's secret room, if it weren't for Su Ning'er and Ye Haotian who stopped the opponent's archers in time, how could they have repelled the demon army? What's more, the demon army was not only attacking the south gate this time, it could be inferred from the shouts of killing from the north gate that their battle seemed to be continuing...... Thinking of the north gate, Xu Heihu's heart suddenly tightened, there was no Nian Shi there, there was no Ye Haotian's accurate prediction and command, if the other party also used the same siege methods, who could break the suppression of the archers? Just when Xu Heihu was just worried in his heart, three sharp arrows suddenly sounded in the middle of the air in the north, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
"North Gate, someone has attacked the city wall!" Xu Heihu said in a dry voice, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the demon army camp in the distance, and nearly a thousand demon army soldiers got on their horses one after another, bypassed the city wall, and galloped towards the north gate.
"The north gate needs support, quick!"
On the city wall, someone let out a sharp scream, and the supporting cultivators and hunters quickly descended the castle tower amid the screams, and rushed towards the north gate in a frenzy.
Ye Haotian's face also became very ugly, according to what Xu Heihu said before the battle, the number of defenders at the north gate was more than double that at the south gate, and the demon army attacking the city was comparable to the south gate, even if it couldn't be defended, it shouldn't be called for help in such a short time, right?
didn't have time to think about it, Ye Haotian grabbed Xu Heihu's shoulder, glanced at the remaining demon soldiers in the distance, and said, "You take people to guard the south gate, in case they take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack, and Zhuzhu and I will go to the north gate." ”
Xu Heihu's anxious eyes were about to erupt with fire, and finally nodded and said, "You must not let the demon army attack you, there are tens of thousands of lives in the city." ”
......
......
When Ye Haotian arrived at the north gate, he found that the demon army and the soldiers and cultivators guarding the city had already fought together, and on a section of the city wall nearly two hundred meters long, there were fifty or sixty corpses lying horizontally and vertically, and there were constantly demon soldiers climbing up the ladder outside the city, and as soon as they appeared, they fought with the soldiers and hunters guarding the battlements.
Standing in front of the demon army soldiers, Ye Hao genius realized the difference between the defenders and the opponent.
These demon warriors are all nearly two meters tall, with red hair and blue eyes, hideous faces, knotted muscles on their bodies, and each of them has a blood-dripping skull pattern cast on their breastplate, and some even have the same tattoo on their arms and necks.
The steel shields they hold in their hands are also much thicker than the shields of human soldiers, and the heavy knives, giant swords, and battle axes used are extremely large, and the weight is at least twice that of the human war knives.
Even now, with the support of hundreds of cultivators in the city, the defenders were on the verge of rout.
