Chapter 624: Monster Siege (14)
The Lightning Eagle's plan was a complete failure. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When the birds and beasts could not form a numerical crush on Hwaseong, they had no possibility of attacking Hwaseong for the time being.
So the flock withdrew and went to the mountains on the other side of the river or to the Black Forest.
And the herd, for the time being, also withdrew.
Just to be on the safe side, the Taloped Monkey King has been directing the herd to retreat beyond the trebuchet's perimeter.
Since the siege began at noon, it was getting dark not long after the herd had withdrawn.
After dark, the Hwaseong bell rang three times.
Then, the warriors who rested inside the city walls during the day and waited for the night shift rushed out quickly.
Because the city wall was too crowded, and the transmission of news could only be observed from the shooting ports reserved on the side of the wall.
So the clansmen didn't know what Hwaseong's defense was like during the day.
In this case, it is strange that the fighters were able to sleep.
After the warriors went out, the savages had prepared their food.
Although there are birds hovering overhead, it doesn't seem like there has been a siege at the moment.
Today's dinner is bird meat, and it's all fresh bird meat.
After seeing that they could not please and the birds and beasts retreated, the savages who had been hiding under the city walls came out to clean up the battlefield in the city.
Although the food prepared in the city was sufficient, it was a waste not to eat the fresh bird meat, so I simply boiled the soup with these birds that had been shot down by rockets and bows and arrows.
Although the soldiers who rested during the day did not know what the battle was like, it was clear from the bloodstains and broken arrows scattered everywhere in the city that it would not be as calm during the day as it is now.
After a quick meal, and then according to the number, go to the city wall to change shifts, and now, these soldiers who are on rest can't wait to see what the situation is like outside.
"Brother, great work! What should I pay attention to when I defend the city later, and you must explain to me what experience you have! A soldier on the shift held the hand of a fighter with the same number as him.
The soldier who was pulled was in a hurry to go down to eat, patted him on the shoulder and said, "We don't work hard, you only work hard at night!" ”
"What should I pay attention to when I defend the city?" The warrior asked.
"You don't need to pay attention to anything, the patriarch has spent several years studying the situation of the monster siege, and everything is expected, as long as you are not afraid to come according to the training time!" Said the fighter preparing for the shift change.
"Nothing else?" The warrior, who had just reached the city wall, asked puzzled.
"Well, that's right! Wear more clothes at night, if those beasts don't dare to come to attack the city, I'm afraid I'll get sick if they wear too little! After saying that, the soldiers who changed shifts lined up with their weapons and walked towards the city. Although there were only three battles of less than twenty minutes today, these warriors had been standing on the city walls for a day, and they were already hungry and thirsty, and they couldn't wait to eat and get warm.
Listening to his own words to the squad warrior, the warrior was full of curiosity about what was going on outside the city.
It's a pity that he is in charge of the inner city section, and without an order, he is not allowed to move at will.
On top of the thirty-meter-wide wall, he wanted to see the situation outside the wall on the other side, which was impossible.
And just when the warrior wanted to see the situation outside the city, the warriors who had changed shifts to the other side of the city wall exclaimed one after another.
"! Those beasts are too cowardly! Why did you retreat so far? ”
"my Dahua City, they must be scared!"
"Ancestral God bless! I am afraid that the only one who can do this step is our Hwaseong! ”
"Hwaseong is mighty!"
"How is this different from the siege I imagined?"
“......”
The voices of discussion are endless.
But this soldier just couldn't go over and take a look without permission, and his heart was really itching.
It was at this time that the centurion may have seen what they were thinking about defending the inner city.
Moreover, it was impossible for a short time to fight in such a situation, so the centurion shouted to the soldiers in charge of him: "Now, you defenders of the inner city have five minutes to see the situation outside the city, so that you can rest assured, and let you know the might of our Hwaseong!" The soldiers of the day shift, those siege beasts don't dare to get close to Hwaseong at all, you are in charge of night battles, don't embarrass me, after reading it, you will perform your duties, everything will come according to the time of training! ”
Listening to the centurion's voice, the warriors defending the inner city moved to the edge of the city walls.
And the warriors on the outer wall also gave way to them.
By the last rays of sunset on the horizon, these anxious warriors saw that under the city walls outside the city, there were corpses of birds and beasts.
In addition, there are the corpses of several high-level creatures of huge size.
And in the distance, within the range of the trebuchet, surrounded by wild beasts.
However, these beasts seemed to be very afraid of trebuchets, and they did not dare to get even half a step closer to Hwaseong.
See the timid look of those beasts in the distance.
The soldiers above Hwaseong, whose waists had been carefully bent, straightened up unconsciously.
I didn't dare to speak out loud, but now I am calm.
Even the morale was strengthened by the distance from which the herd withdrew.
In fact, sometimes, morale is as simple as that.
The more timid the enemy, the stronger your morale will be.
This contrast between strength and weakness is vividly demonstrated between Hwaseong and the herd.
It's a pity that the five minutes passed quickly.
At the same time, the last rays of sunset on the horizon also disappeared without a trace.
After the smooth end of this change of guard, Wang Hao gathered all the soldiers in the city who held the position of commander and above, and went to the large conference room for a meeting.
The content of the meeting was very simple, on the one hand, I wanted to ask from the mouths of the various commanders to see if there were any mistakes in the defense of the city during the day, or if there were any things that I had not noticed during the previous training.
On the other hand, it is to remind the warriors who defend at night that they must do a good job of vision at night, so as not to be attacked by the high-level beast herd led by the Great Monkey King.
Finally, it reminds the soldiers at night to take precautions against the cold if there is no fighting.
Although the weather is getting warmer, the nights are still very cold.
Especially on the wall more than 20 meters high, the wind is strong, and if the cold protection is not done well, it may cause non-combat attrition.
At the end of the meeting, Wang Hao finally expressed his worries, that is, he was worried that the birds and poisonous insects would cooperate to attack the city in the future, and said the failed cooperation between the birds and the beasts during the day.
And tell the warriors to guard against this at all times.
When fighting, the cuffs and necklines of the clothes should be tied tightly, and at the same time, let Wang Lung give the soldiers a pack of insect repellent medicine to carry on their bodies. And let Wang Lung and the savages arrange it in the city when there is no war, so as to prevent this from happening and not be prepared at all.
After the meeting, after a belated dinner, Wang Hao took his son to inspect the city again.
Torches were burned on the top of the city wall, except near the oil tank, and the entire Hwaseong Fortress was illuminated.
Except for the downpour of waterfall rain, it is difficult to extinguish the torch made of this kind of fire oil, so it is natural that you don't have to worry about the sight problem.
Each wall, every five or six minutes, randomly fireballs of fuel were fired to act as flares.
In this way, the sneak attack of the Beastmaster can basically be prevented.
After coming down from the city wall, Wang Hao suddenly thought that if you count the date today, it should be the middle of the month, but you can't see the moon or stars at all.
Thinking of the red sunset, Wang Hao knew that the rain of the summer flood was about to begin.
