Ye Haotian stood on the city tower, heard the creaking sound of the trebuchet behind him when it was thrown, slowly raised his head and looked up.

The noonday sun was bright and dazzling, and hundreds of boulders doused with fire oil flew through the sky with a wave of heat, like a fiery cloud suddenly falling from the sky, and the flickering flames were even brighter than the dazzling sunlight.

Ye Haotian's gaze fell in the direction of the fire cloud and fell into the charging camp of the demon army, and a wicked smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

Back then, on Seven Star Island, when Senior Brother Li Jing explained the history of the war between humans and demons to Ye Haotian, he had a detailed explanation of several powerful battle tribes of the Demon Clan. This includes the Blood Skull tribe that makes up the Blood Skull Legion.

The Blood Skull tribe hails from a deep mountain in the snowy region of the Far North, and they are not only bloodthirsty and warlike, but also possess a magical heritage known as 'Spirit Sacrifice'. This inheritance allows tribal warriors to establish a wonderful bond with their tribe through cannibalism, exchange hearts and minds with each other, and achieve perfect cooperation in hunting and fighting.

In order to deal with today's battle, when formulating the strategic deployment last night, Ye Haotian thought about how to deal with this tacit understanding of the Blood Skull Tribe.

When the enemy is outnumbered, the number of demon armies destroyed before melee combat will directly affect the outcome of the battle.

After thinking about it, in the end, Ye Haotian came to only one conclusion, that is, to suppress it with enough long-range weapons before the Blood Skeleton Warrior approached. quantity, as long as the number is large enough, even if they cooperate tacitly, it is impossible to dodge the overwhelming attack.

After deciding on the plan, considering the heavy steel shield in the hands of the Blood Skull Warrior, there were only two options in front of Ye Haotian, one was the city defense giant crossbow, and the other was the trebuchet. In view of the difficulty of making a giant crossbow and the shortcomings of a small killing range, Ye Haotian finally chose a trebuchet.

It takes a lot of wood to make a trebuchet, which is why last night the house was demolished and the wall was smashed.

The blazing boulder smashed into the shield of the demon army, and under the overwhelming rain of fire, the cooperation that the Blood Skull Legion relied on was finally completely ineffective. Because of the same heart, when they saw the unavoidable stone rain, the panic and fear in the hearts of some warriors were also transmitted to the perception of others, and just one wave of stones threw stones, which made the orderly army of blood skeletons show signs of chaos.

......

......

A Blood Skull warrior was knocked to the ground by a boulder, and the splash of fire oil quickly burst into flames after falling on the people around him, and the damp and muddy quicksand city gate quickly turned into a sea of fire.

Hearing the screams coming from outside the city, the people and soldiers in the city who were in charge of throwing stones all shouted excitedly, and they quickly carried new stones into the throwing baskets, poured oil on them, and then threw them out of the city. It's just that the second round of stone-throwing is much worse than the first round in terms of both quantity and coverage, and some boulders fell down as soon as they were thrown out of the city, and a few even fell directly on the city wall, shocking the surrounding people into a cold sweat.

This situation was not unexpected, as the more than 200 defenders were all on the walls, and the task of controlling the trebuchets fell on the shoulders of the people of the city.

For this kind of large-scale fortification ordnance, the people are the first time to use, although there are special military instructors in the morning to explain to them, but in the panic there will inevitably be mistakes, some put the stone and forget to pour oil and throw it out, there are after pouring oil before the fire to release the bullet rod, and after ignition the bullet rod is not tightened and let go, plus there are various problems in the quality of the trebuchet made in a hurry, so that the lethality of this round of stone throwing has been weakened by more than a quarter.

But that's enough.

After two rounds of stone throwing, more than 300 of the 4,000 blood skeleton warriors fell, and 3 or 400 people were haunted by the flames, screaming heartbreakingly, and more importantly, disrupting their formation, revealing the spear throwers waiting for the opportunity to throw spears inside.

Seeing that the shield array was broken, the crossbow soldiers on the city wall detained the crossbow machine in their hands in time, and more than thirty arm-thick giant crossbows made a terrible scream, burrowing into the burning sea of fire, and deeply penetrated into the body of the blood skeleton warrior.

When Hiroshi Zichuan and the three generals saw the scene in front of them, everyone's faces were extremely cold. In the time between the sound of the siege horn and the time the charge was blocked, nearly a thousand soldiers fell, which was a big blow to the four confident demon generals.

Although there are many reasons for this result, such as the shortcomings of the troops, such as the lack of large-scale siege equipment, and the deviation of the estimation of the city's defense forces, the main reason is that the enemy is underestimated.

In the past two years, the Blood Skull Legion has fought twenty-one city battles, and the minimum number of defenders in the siege is 3,000 and the most is more than 50,000.

This is the shame of the Blood Skull Legion, the shame of the four demon generals, even if today's siege is finally won, it will leave a shameful mark in the history of their conquest.

In a fit of rage, Zichuan Hong issued a second military order: "Siege beast, hurry, let the siege beast quickly break open the damn city gate for General Ben!"

The military order reached the ears of the animal trainer in the shortest possible time.

A loud roar that shook the mountains sounded in the rear camp of the demon army, and when the sound was heard, the faces of the blood skeleton warriors who were on standby all showed a look of excitement and fanaticism, and the entire demon army camp instantly boiled, and the hundreds of demon troops facing the city gate dodged to both sides, and a ten-meter-wide passage quickly flashed out in the middle.

There was another roar that soared into the sky, and on a mound three hundred meters away from the passage, a gray-black bull-like giant beast with thick limbs as strong as iron pillars, a giant horn on its head, and a skin like a rock covered with threads appeared in the sight of the Blood Skull warrior.

A beast trainer in red stood more than ten meters in front of the left side of the giant beast, he bit a bone flute in his mouth, with the flicking of ten fingers, one after another strange notes came into the ears of the giant beast, the huge figure like a small mountain moved left and right several times, and quickly set the right direction, and the single horn stopped at the gate of the quicksand city eight hundred meters away.

At this time, the two cheeks of the beast tamer bulged violently, the bone flute let out a soul-like scream, the siege beast and a pair of yellow-brown eyeballs that were extremely disproportionate to the size instantly turned red, and the six hooves and feet that were close to the human waist crossed over, dragging the heavy body and running slowly, with the acceleration of the frequency of the rise and fall of the hooves and feet, the speed of the giant beast was also rapidly increasing, when running into the hundred-meter-long passage that the blood skeleton warrior flashed, the heavy drumming sounded again in the desert, and the defenders of the quicksand city standing on the city wall felt the tremor from the soles of their feet, and their faces changed greatly, and their frightened hearts almost jumped out of their stomachs。

Ye Haotian on the city tower looked at the siege beasts that were running quickly in the distance, and the demon army that was rapidly approaching through the sea of fire under the city, he swallowed nervously, his hands hidden under his sleeves were clenched into fists, and his bones made a gurgling sound.
