Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Dead and the Artillery
Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Dead and the Artillery
That night, Yu Xuan stayed at the Xikouzi Pass, he wanted to observe here for a few days, to see what kind of effect the dead soldiers were under the artillery, in fact, Yu Xuan was also very interested in the dead soldiers, if possible, he also wanted to form his own army of dead soldiers.
At dawn the next day, the Saudyer tribe had been assembled, and they were ready to take Xikouzi, at this time the Saudyer tribe chief Jack himself went into battle, and this time his army was not yesterday's army, yesterday's cavalry had been replaced by today's infantry, and these infantry were chained all over their bodies, making the sound of iron chains hitting hard. These people are all demented, and there is no trace of emotion in their eyes, like puppets who have been controlled by others.
This was the dead army of the Schatlet, roughly numbered at least two thousand, and as the two thousand infantry marched lifelessly toward the west, the sound of chains striking each other could be heard quietly.
The dead man was followed by a group of high priests, they were dressed in snow-white clothes, their heads were full of all kinds of feathers, colorful, and their faces were also painted with colors, one by one, the flower face plus the feathers on the head, it was very rided, each of them held a small drum in their hands, while walking, chanting their own incantations, behind the high priest was Jack's cavalry army, Jack was originally going to leave the dead to attack Mozhou City, but now he can't pass this west mouth, That's why he sent his only trump card army, that is, the Dead Warrior Clan, their combat power is very amazing, and their ordinary weapons can't hurt them, with this Dead Warrior Clan, I believe that when the sun comes out, I will capture Xikouzi.
The garrison on the west entrance also discovered the following situation, and reported to the general, several lieutenants have already begun to command on the city wall, they also found something unusual, feeling that the Saudi Yar Department that attacked today is a bit weird, not charging on war horses like during the day, but a group of infantry walking in the front, they don't know what kind of medicine is bought in the gourd of the Saudi Yar Department.
"What's next?" Murong Feng came to the city wall, looked at a few lieutenant generals, and asked directly.
"Report to the legion commander, the enemy seems to have attacked with medicine, but the way of this attack is a bit strange, they actually attacked the city with infantry, and the cavalry all followed behind, and found some strangely dressed people behind the infantry, maybe their high priest or something?" An adjutant general hurriedly reported the situation under the city to the corps commander Murong Feng.
"What? I'm going to check it out? Murong Feng also felt a little weird after listening to the deputy general's report, so he immediately went to the edge of the city wall to watch, and sure enough, the situation below was exactly the same as the situation reported by the deputy general just now, Murong Feng took a closer look and seemed to hear some sounds, "Right?" Is this the sound of a chain thumping? Are these the dead? Murong Feng was also surprised!
"What did the Legion Commander say?" Seeing that his regiment commander was talking to himself, the adjutant general next to him asked.
"Immediately notify the artillerymen, all the artillery will immediately prepare for battle, and all the archers will be ready for battle, and everyone else must not go out of the city to meet the enemy, only defend the city!" Murong Feng immediately ordered after knowing the situation.
"Yes! Subordinates receive orders! Several lieutenants hugged their fists, and then began to get busy, only two lieutenants and a few guards had been guarding Murong Feng's side, and the others were already busy.
Soon, all the artillery armies were in place, the archers were all assembled, and the entire 80,000-strong army of the Celestial Wolf Legion had been assembled and ready to fight at any time.
Murong Feng has been watching the Saudi Arabian Department under the city, they are still moving forward, but the speed of their advance is very slow, it may be that the speed of these dead soldiers in front of them is relatively slow, but they are already less than a thousand meters away from the Xikouzi City Wall, and they are still moving forward, black and pressing, like the sea at high tide.
"All artillery ready to fire!" At this time, Murong Feng ordered.
"All artillery reloads!" The adjutant general, who was standing next to the artilleryman, drew his sword and shouted.
Bang dang! Bang dang!
All the artillery began to load, their speed was very fast, all the artillery had been fully loaded in one breath, and they could be fired just waiting for the general's order.
The Saudi Arabian Department under the city is now eight hundred meters away from Xikouzi, and it is completely within the range of artillery attacks, Murong Feng also feels that it can be launched now, he must have to destroy these dead soldiers this time, he will always remember the soldiers who died in the Northwest Wolf Regiment before, he knows the power of artillery, this time he can happily avenge those subordinates who died in the previous battle, thinking of this, Murong Feng clenched his fist and shouted: "Launch!" ”
"All artillery fired!" The adjutant general, who was standing next to the artilleryman, waved the sword in his hand forward and shouted.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A terrifying roar resounded through the sky, and sparks erupted under the west entrance, and these sparks also lit up half of the sky, and with these fires, you can clearly see the situation below.
There were also sounds of terror and screams from below, and the cannon that had just been fired hit the high priest and his side, and some of the people around the high priest were also killed, and a large number of them were killed, and the dead were also bombarded to pieces, leaving only chains and broken flesh all over the ground.
After the first round of bombardment, the second round of bombardment began immediately, and hundreds of artillery pieces continued to bombard Xikou. Jack, who was originally full of confidence, was also stunned by the sudden bombing, what is the situation? What kind of weapon is this? How had he never heard of it? And even those invulnerable dead soldiers were turned into minced meat in an instant, and even the whole corpse was not left.
But he couldn't control that much, and ordered with a red eye: "All the high priests, prepare to let the dead attack!" Hurry up and get all the dead on the attack! Jack shouted as he brandished his broadsword, and some of the high priests began to do so, humming a few words before beating the little drum in their hands. The dead soldiers, who had been quiet in front of them, suddenly moved, and became very restless from their original quietness, and some of them began to howl wildly, and finally rushed towards the west mouth with extraordinary speed.
"Quick! Adjust the angle of the artillery! Blow them all to death! Murong Feng saw that there were still thousands of dead soldiers rushing over under the city, he was shocked, the combat power of these thousands of people was absolutely amazing, if there were no these artillery, it was estimated that his 80,000 soldiers and horses would not be able to overcome them.
After hearing the order of the corps commander, the sergeants in charge of the artillery adjusted the angle of the artillery as quickly as possible, and then immediately opened fire, and some of the dead soldiers who were still charging just now were instantly bombarded to pieces, although some died, but there were still many crazy attacks.
All the artillery began to fire non-stop, but some of them were already under the city, and they could attack the city at any time, Murong Feng immediately sent archers to shoot arrows under the city, and some sergeants began to throw some wood and some burning items to the city, and soon dropped a lot, and a long dragon had been formed, and there was a row of archers ready to shoot arrows, and their arrows were also combustible items, and the fire was lit, and these faint sparks were dancing.
"Shoot the arrows!" A lieutenant in charge of the archers shouted.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
These arrows were like meteors, shooting directly at the place where the wood had just been dropped, and for a while, all the wood that was originally very dry was on fire, and the fire was also very large, and the dead soldiers who rushed over were all down in front of the fire, but they were shouting angrily.
In the distance, Patriarch Jack saw that his dead soldiers had lost so much, and his heart was dripping blood, and he also ordered his archers to release arrows into the city, and the same black rain flew to the city wall.
