Chapter 274: Tide of Fierce Beasts
After Zhao Ze left, he naturally explained that Fan Dao and the others should not go out, because he knew that the first wave of beast tide attacks was coming, and it was possible that the citizens of Yunshi City would be injured, but he couldn't control so much now, the main targets were those strongholds in the west, as long as they put some pressure on the Divine Worm Clan, their attack on Yunshi City would slow down.
As for this beast tide attacking Li Chun, he will definitely be able to defend it, but he will have to pay some price.
Li Chun, who was on duty on the city wall, naturally also saw that there were cage-like things that were continuously transported out of the mountains and forests.
His whole body became gloomy, because he knew that this was the tribesmen who were going to storm the city with the tide of beasts, but he didn't know how big it was, and if there were really a lot of them, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Of course, the disaster of this kind of beast tide is recorded in the government, and there have been about 7 times in the Song Kingdom in the past 10 years, and each time it will turn a city into a dead city, of course, the beast tide that comes to attack is naturally numerous.
So according to the records, they are all large-scale beast tide attacks, and under this kind of attack, even a 6-vein martial artist will be difficult to escape, unless you escape in advance.
And now no one can really know what the real reason for the occurrence of this beast tide is, and many of them are involved in the direction of superstition, saying that the king has no rule or that the court has treacherous villains before this kind of heavenly punishment will occur.
Li Chun naturally wouldn't believe such a ridiculous message.
There may be some reason behind the large-scale operation of the beast, but no one knows now.
This was the first time Li Chun had seen someone attack a city using a beast tide that he thought was created.
He had doubts and worries in his heart, how large this beast tide could be depends on what this clan is doing, of course, it is not a simple matter to control these fierce beasts and unify their actions.
It's a pity that his horseback team is no longer available, otherwise he wouldn't be so passive, and it's really uncomfortable to watch it all the time.
Of course, after Li Chun saw it, he naturally gave some orders.
In addition to ordering the soldiers on the city wall, he also arranged for Li Dali to defend in the city, because this kind of beast tide attack is multi-point and multi-form, and it is possible to directly attack the civilians in Yunshi City, so he arranged it this way.
Of course, there are also warriors who can fight in Yunshi City, and they can also choose to garrison the streets or rooftops of houses inside Yunshi City, and if they can kill the enemy, they will naturally be rewarded by the imperial court.
As long as there is a reward, there will naturally be people to fight, and the Han family is the first to stand up, in addition to ensuring the materials of Yunshi City, they also organized the warriors of the family to go to the streets to garrison, this is the corresponding strategy that the head of the Han family and Han Ying have long thought of.
Han Ying's younger brother Han Fei has long since returned home, and the people of the tribe were like attacking the nearby mine after besieging Yunshi City, but because of Li Chun's attack, he also indirectly saved those laborers and soldiers who didn't know the situation in the mine, and they basically returned to Yunshi City.
Of course, this also depends on one's own consciousness, the fast legs and feet and the high consciousness have basically retreated to the interior of Yunshi City, and the slow runners and poor consciousness are basically caught and killed on the spot by the tribesmen, and they deliberately piled up those corpses to make a landscape to humiliate Li Chun and others.
Li Chun didn't want to save the miners and the overseers, because the city was too small, and if they came in, it might cause a series of troubles, because most of them were men and had no families, and they were all crowded under the streets and eaves of the city to avoid the rain.
Since they all fled, it would not be possible to open the gate, because the people of Yunshi City were not stupid, and they heard those miners and overseers shouting outside the city gate, and if Li Chun's subordinates chose not to open the door at that time, it would create a very bad impression on the people.
When these people entered the city, the attitude of the people of Yunshi City changed instantly, because they felt that it was better not to let these people in, because these people were people without families, and it was unknown what kind of chaos would happen in the long run.
Now that the people of Yunshi City are closed, that is, to prevent these people from seeing what they are doing and eating, this first layer of contradictions has accumulated grievances.
Yue Lu's legs and feet had already healed, and he also escaped, of course, he had already heard some about the big war in the words of those mysterious people.
After coming to Yunshi City, Li Chundu gave them some food and water, hoping that they would help defend Yunshi City, as long as the defending court would definitely open the net, the credibility of these words was not low, because the imperial court was rarely stingy with rewards for military industry, so many laborers picked up improvised weapons to help defend Yunshi City.
Li Chun also has no way to do this, it stands to reason that these laborers have a deep grudge against the imperial court and can't give them weapons, but he still chooses to do it, because if he doesn't do this, these people will be even more cranky, and when the time comes, it will be troublesome to mess up in Yunshi City first.
This time, the attack of the tribal army did come too suddenly, and Li Chun started a lot of things without planning, so he was so passive.
In addition to providing these laborers with weapons and food, they also made some military tents and provided temporary accommodation in some open areas in the city.
This time, these labors made Li Chun even more grateful, and they all hoped to serve Li Chun.
Li Chun wanted this result, so naturally they were divided into several teams and stationed on the streets of Yunshi City.
Most of the prison soldiers have fled back, and many of them have families in Yunshi City, so Li Chun doesn't have to worry about these people, although their combat power is not comparable to the soldiers under him, but they can also be used.
Li Chun took a look at the situation below Yunshi City on the city wall, although the manpower has increased a lot now, it is still unknown how long it can last under the attack of the fierce beast.
But at least it's good for now, and everything is possible before the worst outcome.
After that, he took another look at the situation of the tribesmen around Yunshi City.
There are more and more cages, at least a few thousand.
However, there is one thing that makes Li Chun very happy, that is, this fierce beast is a bit too simplistic.
Generally, the difficulty of dealing with the tide of fierce beasts lies in the number and variety, if it is the same type, as long as you know the weakness of this fierce beast, the damage will be greatly reduced.
He turned to the guards beside him and said, "Go and call Weida to see me." ”
After receiving the order, the guards went to find Wei Da.
A few minutes later, Wei Da came to the city wall, and when Li Chun saw him, he pointed to the fierce beasts in those cages and asked, "What kind of fierce beasts are these?"
Wei Da's eyes were not very good when he was old, and he climbed on the city wall many times to observe before saying: "These are a kind of poisonous lizards that can climb walls, and they generally live in the depths of the mountains and forests to forage in the trees, and have the strength of about 3 veins. ”
"In the past, there were natives who caught a few and sold them in the city, the old man was fortunate to see it, he could indeed climb the wall and was very fast, his tongue was carrying venom, it seemed to be a paralyzing venom, this poison would not be fatal, but it was also very troublesome to be licked by it, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise the whole body will be paralyzed and unable to use strength. ”
"What this thing is so afraid of fire is that as long as there is fire, he will not come close. ”
After Li Chun listened, he naturally looked at the sky, and the surrounding soldiers and Wei Da also looked at the sky together, and this rainy weather will definitely continue.
Now many people understand why the tribesmen would choose to attack Yunshi City at such a time, all for a purpose.
Ordinary flames can easily be extinguished by rain, and there are other ways to do it.
Fortunately, Li Chun had already brought the fire oil to the city wall, and it was difficult to extinguish the flames lit with this oil, so the imperial court would arrange military supplies such as fire oil here.
But here comes the problem, the city wall can be used like this, because his soldiers are all strictly trained, and there is generally no problem of mistakes, Li Chun can not let that group of rabble use it inside this Yunshi City, what if it is not good to set the people's houses on fire.
But what should I do if those poisonous lizards run into the city? Li Chun's choice is naturally cold salad, because he doesn't have a good choice, so naturally he can't let a poisonous lizard run in.
Many people will ask, what if they really run in? That's the matter of the guards below, if they can't defend it, Li Chun can also use military law to get rid of some people, of course, the people will not have anything, because there is Li Dali protecting below.
This battle is really embarrassing, Li Chun watched these tribesmen play tricks to attack the city, and he really had no way at all.
Now that tens of thousands of cages have gathered around Yunshi City, Li Chun thought to himself, this clan can really catch it, and they actually caught such a poisonous lizard.
But now fortunately, this beast tide can only be regarded as a careful beast tide, because the species is single, and the number is not very huge.
After that, I saw that the tribal armies had all faded to the edge of the mountains and forests, probably because I was afraid that I would become the target of this poisonous lizard.
Of course, there were also some people who were in charge of opening the cages, and a few strange people in green robes, holding a huge cane in their hands, muttering something in their mouths.
The cages were opened one by one, but none of the poisonous lizards in the cage came out, and they were still curled up in the cage, as if they had received some kind of order.
Li Chun's face had changed greatly after seeing this, although these methods were still very preliminary, but after giving these tribesmen some time, they would definitely go further, and at that time, the beast tide was not something that a military general like them could defend down, and he had to inform the imperial court as soon as possible after this battle was over.
So after the cage was opened, the people in charge of opening the cage also retreated, and the strange green-robed people began to dance an unknown dance, following the rhythm of their dance, the poisonous lizards in the cages also came out one after another, but they still did not stay away from the cage.
Each one has green skin, and the eyes are constantly turning.
When these green-robed weirdos finally performed the final dance and pointed their canes in the direction of Marble City, these poisonous lizards rushed to Marble City as if they had received instructions.
When Li Chun saw it, he naturally pulled out his sword and shouted: "Prepare to fight..."
Naturally, the surrounding guards were already in full swing.
First of all, it must be the crossbowmen waiting, when these poisonous lizards hit the shooting range, there is no need for Li Chunduo to say, these crossbowmen are already shooting, a large number of poisonous lizards died under the bows, but this number is also too much, there are tens of thousands of them, and the speed is very fast, after the death of thousands, these poisonous lizards have quickly climbed the city wall.
Of course, in addition to crossbowmen, there are also sword and shield players on the city wall, just to prevent enemies from quickly climbing the city wall to attack crossbowmen.
Li Chun naturally walked around and fought on the city wall with his guards to prevent a large number of poisonous lizards from running up, and with his help, many poisonous lizards did die on the city wall.
The soldiers on the other city walls also used fire oil to attack the poisonous lizards that climbed on the city wall, and the effect was also good, and after the fire, these poisonous lizards were really burned to death.
Many soldiers also use flames to light flames to scare these poisonous lizards, and there are some effects, but the effect is not very great, because these poisonous lizards are all controlled, and they rarely look like they are back legs when they desperately move forward.
This method didn't work, so the only way to kill the poisonous lizards was to kill them, so the battle on the city walls began to become scorching.
Although it was anxious, it didn't let a poisonous lizard escape to Marble City.
Li Chun also led his own guards to kill the enemy bravely, and the city walls were full of poisonous lizard corpses.
Of course, many of Li Chun's soldiers were accidentally licked and injured by poisonous lizards, and they were all transported down and resettled, Li Chun's combat efficiency was still very high, and the soldiers were only injured, and they had not yet been killed.
Fighting Li Chun, he felt that although these poisonous lizards had been controlled, this control method was not very clever, and many of these poisonous lizards gathered in a corner of the city wall, and would not disperse to climb the city wall.
Li Chun also seized this opportunity and directly ordered the soldiers to use thunderbolt fire bombs, and a few of them wiped out thousands of poisonous lizards in an instant.
In this way, the situation on the battlefield changed in an instant, and after the number of poisonous lizards decreased, the battle pressure on the city wall naturally became much smaller.
Twenty minutes later, Li Chun killed the last poisonous lizard on the city wall, ending the battle.
After checking the situation on the battlefield, Li Chun was very satisfied, because not a single poisonous lizard had been released into Yunshi City.
Tens of thousands of poisonous lizards were wiped out, and none of the soldiers were killed, only the wounded, which made the morale of the soldiers on the city wall high, and naturally began to despise the tribesmen in their hearts.
Of course, only Li Chun knew that this was just an appetizer, and the tribe's beast tide offensive would become more and more fierce.
Sure enough, when he was observing, he found that the tribesmen had placed some new cages around Yunshi City, this time they were all flying beasts, which made him feel uneasy.
