Chapter 54: A Silver Lining of Hope
The fourth layer of fence didn't last long, and it collapsed under the opponent's rogue play. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
No one was allowed to take refuge in the county town while defending, and now it was stuffed inside. There was almost no place for people to stay, so Chen Tao had to place most of the strong men on the city wall that was only three meters wide, and condescendingly dealt with those demon soldiers.
He didn't dare to take all the soldiers inside, if those winged demons were lucky enough to avoid the arrows, they would throw the ghosts into the city, and if they didn't do well, they would cause casualties among the people.
"The main thing, the future of the family, I will leave it to you!" But there was not a single cry, and then a figure fell from the city wall.
It was an old man who couldn't support his family, so he mainly relied on his family to support him. It was a fluke to be able to live until this time, and God knew that staying would only drag everyone down, so he simply chose death.
Not only him, but also those old people seemed to have made up their minds, climbed the city wall and jumped down one after another. Chen Tao and they can't stop it, just because even if they relax a little, the established defense may be breached, and this result is that everyone in the city will be finished!
"Daddy!" Some soldiers couldn't help crying, because among the old men who fell below just now, there was his old father.
"Demon Army, I'll fight with you!" The soldier immediately wanted to jump off the city wall and fight with the demon army that was piling up higher and higher. It's a pity that the soldiers around him clamped him tightly and didn't send him to death.
"Let go of me!" Not only him, but also many soldiers had such plans, but most of them were stopped. A few jumped, and then they were surrounded by the demon army almost without making a move, and they were eaten up in a moment.
"Look, you don't have anything to do but die! Save your life and kill a few more demon troops! The soldiers who were left behind were all shouted by the compatriots around them.
When the soldiers heard this, they saw their comrades who had no corpses, and they couldn't help but wipe their tears and continue to devote themselves to the battle.
The battle has reached this point, not to mention the men, even the women, who have to throw themselves into the battle in order to survive. Many of them have internal strength, and when there is no way to stand on the city wall, they simply take the initiative to tear down the house and give it to the soldiers.
After the house is demolished, there are even more people who can settle down, as long as there is enough space to react, those fallen ghosts can also be cleared, and the pressure of the battle in the city can also be reduced to a certain extent.
The bricks and stones that had been torn down were thrown out of the city and smashed towards the demon army. With the acceleration of gravity, he killed and injured a lot of demon troops. It's just that this time the demon army didn't eat those fallen comrades, but turned it into a slope with the help of their font, and added a lot of sand and soil to make the slope wider and taller, with the purpose of killing the city along the slope.
On the other side of the city gate, they were constantly under their impact, but fortunately, the soldiers kept throwing bricks and stones below, killing them while also sealing the city gate. There were also a constant stream of crossbow bolts thrown out, shooting those soldiers.
The Xin brothers, Zhao Feng, Xu Hui, Zheng Yan, the three disciples of the Taoist Academy and Chen Tao were all on the city wall, relying on the law to kill the enemy, and when the true qi was exhausted, they quickly returned to the rear, and restored the true qi with the help of spirit stones and qi condensing pills. But in the end, if you don't dare to go crazy and get angry, it takes a lot of time.
The demon army won't give them much time at all, if they don't empty a batch of those demon armies in time, they will be filled by more demon armies in a short time, and looking at it, those demon armies have not decreased much at all.
"Could it be that the heavens are going to kill me?" Chen Tao began to complain unwillingly that he was still alive and well in the original time and space, but he didn't want to be sent to this damn time and space suddenly, that's all, he actually gave him a mortal situation, what about the aura of the protagonist he talked about? What about Long Aotian's career?!
"Lord, we still have a glimmer of hope, but we are afraid that it will be difficult to do it." Simbi said suddenly.
"No matter how difficult it is, is it even harder than it is now, say!" Chen Tao immediately shouted.
"The subordinates just paid attention to it, and although the three demons were not directly involved in the attack, they seemed to be constantly summoning them. If the subordinates didn't guess wrong, they were afraid that the demon armies that gathered from all sides were summoned by them. As long as the three of them can be killed, then it is very likely that there will be no more demon armies gathered, and the remaining demon armies, we can also slowly clean them up gradually. Simbi replied quickly.
"The question is, they're in the rear, so what are we going to do with them? In this situation, we can't even get out of town! Chen Tao couldn't help complaining.
"My subordinates know that the situation is very critical, so I have discussed with my brother that a few of our Qi cultivation monks will find a way to kill a passage in a short time, and at least they will be able to break through most of the demon army.
There is still a way to go, but I don't know if the lord and Elder Xu will be able to break through, if they succeed, they will be able to break through, and then they can directly fight with the three demons. If you're unlucky......" Simbi didn't say anything more than he said in the middle of his sentence.
Chen Tao knew very well in his heart that if there was no way to break through, then he and Xu Hui would have to explain there. In the final analysis, it is to fight with his and Xu Hui's lives, if you are lucky, you can win, and if you are unlucky, everyone will die.
But if you don't do anything, then the result is still a dead end. It can be said that he has no choice at all......
"I know, after everyone recovers, immediately start preparing for the breakout!" Chen Tao said silently.
No one knew that at this time, in a forest about five miles away behind Sheguo County, there were about 2,000 soldiers gathered here. Of course, it's hard to say that the soldiers are actually very reluctant, just because most of them don't have any weapons. The most common weapon in their hands was actually the mace that had been seized from the Yaksha after killing them, which seemed to be made of the bones of some kind of animal, but it was very hard and heavy.
"It has been investigated, although the stronghold of the country is besieged, it seems that it is still holding the last line of defense, but I don't know if your brother is still alive." The leader was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man, who even exuded the aura of a soldier and was accompanied by a huge wolf dog.
"I heard that my brother is a qi practitioner, so he shouldn't be on the front line, so he should still be alive." This is a man of the age of a weak crown, but he is also full of murderous energy, and he is obviously a murderer, but this year, I think I have killed a lot of monsters.
He held a silver spear in his hand, the dragon pattern was so dazzling, and his armor was shining with silver, which set off his heroism, if Zhao Feng was here, he would find that this was his younger brother who went to seek refuge with Yuan Shao - Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong!
"I just paid attention to it, those three demons seem to be constantly summoning demon armies, if it takes a long time, I'm afraid that the stronghold will be in danger, we have to find a way to kill those three demons, otherwise everything will be over." The third man, who seemed to be the leader, was armed with a spear, and was also in his twenties, which was rare and heroic, but a little more wise.
Except for Zhao Yun, the other two were wearing tattered leather armor, and it could be seen that they were also from a wild road. However, to be able to mix with the leadership status of more than 2,000 people, I naturally have a good place to come.
"You and I are gathered here, and in the words of Buddhism, it can be regarded as fate. Originally, the two of us also planned to try our luck at the stronghold of the country, but in the current situation, I am afraid that the stronghold may be destroyed at any time......" The man said with some scruples.
"I said Bai Hao, I know that you kid has a lot of ideas, but these monsters are everywhere these years, and it's not bad to come across a stronghold that hasn't been breached yet, and whether there is such a stronghold in other places is still two words, what do you dislike?" The man with a military breath burst into applause.
"Brother Yang doesn't need to be like this, everyone has their own lives, and it's better to die than to live. This rescue was originally a life-or-death situation, how could he put his thoughts on others? Not to mention anything else, I, Zhao, for my brother, no matter if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, in the end, I still have to break through, everyone's lives are precious, if you don't want to go, then you can be separated here. Zhao Yun arched his hand and said.
"Hmph, although I, Yang Feng, am not a big hero, I am not a coward either. Those demon armies don't let us have a way to live, and I don't let them have a way to live! Sons, if you want to follow me desperately, if you want to live, you can leave, I, Yang Feng, will never stop you! "The military man, that is, Yang Feng, is on Zhao Yun's side.
"Wang!" The big dog barked, and then stood beside him, as if to take a stand.
"Chief, we listen to you!" In a short time, more than 500 people came out, they were the defeated troops from all over the country gathered on Yang Feng Road, and they had also fled for their lives, but when they calmed down, they thought that their families had died in the hands of the demon army, and now they were full of grief and resentment towards the demon army.
Not to mention Yang Feng's sensational exhalation, even if they didn't, they wanted to fight with the demon army!
"Whew! Don't TMD cold people, when did I Bai Hao get scared? Yes, I, Bai Hao, am just a third-rate late-stage general, not as good as you, but I also know that if you want to live, you have to work hard, otherwise you won't be able to live now! You're all going to fight the demon army, do I still have to be a bad seed? Count me in! Seeing that so many people were going to work hard, Bai Hao also stood up.
"Thank you!" When Zhao Yun heard this, he thanked him.
"It's not for you, everyone is a Terran, but it's just for the sake of the Terran!" Yang Feng laughed.
"Remember, after winning, please drink!" Bai Hao patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and quipped.
They didn't talk too much nonsense, and after making a decision, they immediately set off, and two thousand people rushed out towards the rear of the demon army, and they didn't know how many demon armies they had cleaned up along the way.
In the last mile, they didn't march slowly, and in the shouts of Yang Feng, Zhao Yun and Bai Hao, they quickly moved towards the headquarters of the demon army, that is, where the three demons were.
"Reinforcements, I didn't expect us to have reinforcements, so the success rate of the breakthrough has greatly increased!" Seeing this, Simbi immediately shouted.
"Then what are you waiting for, break out!" Chen Tao laughed and immediately gave the order.
P.S: The dragon set "Bai Hao (word Duyi)" and the dragon set "Yang Feng (word Haotian) who wants to send buns" have appeared!
Finally, I would like to thank the book friend for the 'lastwarming' tip! Thank you for your love and support for this book! At the same time, thank you for the praise of 'sending buns', the dragon set has appeared, don't you mean it? (brackets laugh)
