In the first year of Jian'an, at the end of June, the whole world was full of mourning and plainness. Countless people have fled, and countless people have fled inland from coastal, riverside and riverside areas, and countless people have died along the way, and their bones are scattered all over the place.

The people in the inland areas who don't know why, seeing this situation, are also panicked, and they don't want to drag their families and flee with them.

The princes could no longer care about intrigue and fight for territory. Shrink your forces, move your population, and appease the people inland, or else your rule will collapse.

Then, in just half a month, by the tenth day of the seventh month, the entire coastal counties of the Han Dynasty had fallen.

This incident is known as the disaster of sea beasts in history!

After this difficulty, millions of people were killed and injured, millions of people were displaced, large areas of farmland and salt pans along the coast and rivers were abandoned, the land was barren, the crops were not harvested, and the princes suffered heavy losses and were helpless for a while!

You must know that most of the salt used in the Kanto region is sea salt, but now that the salt pans have been lost, the loss can be seen. The river, river, and coastal areas have always had flat terrain and abundant water sources, and they are all extremely important grain-producing areas. What's more, the princes have been fighting again, and their family backgrounds are not thick, and seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching, they have lost this large area of fertile grain-producing areas, which is simply a bolt from the blue. Now there are millions of displaced people, and the princes everywhere simply can't come up with enough food and grass to feed these people!

The disaster of the sea beast came suddenly, and many scribes and scholars died in this disaster, the most famous is the Beihai Xiangkong Rongkong Wenju! The great Confucian ruler of the country, Beihai, is right in the coastal area. After the outbreak of the beast plague, Kong Rong died in battle while resisting the siege of sea beasts, which really made many people regret it. He may not have made any achievements in politics and military affairs, and he may be pedantic, but in terms of culture, ideology, and morality, he is indeed a recognized person.

There are countless similar examples, not only scholars died in the disaster, but many books and cultural achievements were destroyed in this disaster.

It can be said that the entire civilization of the Han people, in this blink of an eye, has been hit by Yan zhòng!

At this time, Li Zheng had no time to take care of other places.

Jincheng County, Liangzhou, was first attacked by fierce beasts from the Qilian Mountains!

In the early hours of the morning, Linqiang and Anyi counties were attacked by fierce beasts at the same time, and in just one hour, they fell, and the county became a ruin, and most of the residents, town guards, and mercenaries died!

When Wang Xu, the Taishou of Jincheng, heard the news, he hurriedly dispatched county soldiers and government servants, recruited mercenaries, organized young and strong, and established a defense line in Yunwu. He also sent people to send a message to various places to inform the people to move to Liangzhou! At the same time, it was reported to Li Zheng for help.

Yunwu, outside the city, thousands of large and small fierce beasts roared and galloped, these fierce beasts were strange shapes, hideous and vicious, the big ones were comparable to the giant beasts, and the small ones were the size of a horse. And it is extremely violent, murderous, and terrifying!

On the city wall, countless arrows flew down, and several catapults and ballistae also kept throwing stones and firing crossbow arrows.

However, the arrows flew out and landed on those fierce beasts, and very few of them could break the skin, and the lethality was incalculable. Only catapults and ballistas have some effect.

However, they will definitely not be able to stop these beasts for too long!

Wang Xu was dressed in armor, holding a sword, and shouted again and again: "Soldiers, behind you is Yunwu, it is the father and the old folks, no matter what, please stick to it and fight for the time for the father to retreat, I, Wang Xu, am here to thank you!" ”

Wang Xu bowed deeply, and the appearance of his cloak shocked everyone on the city wall, and a deep sense of mission filled their hearts!

"Don't worry, Lord Taishou, I'm waiting, the city wall is here, the city wall is collapsing, I'm waiting for death!"

"That's it, please rest assured!"

"Your Excellency, please evacuate quickly, and this place will be handed over to us!"

The rough voice and the heroism of not fearing life and death moved Wang Xu very much.

Wang Xu straightened up, straightened his clothes and armor, brushed the hair that fell off his head and led the scattered hair on both sides, and said: "I am reused by the lord, for Jincheng Taishou, Jincheng is here, I Wang Xu is here, Jincheng is destroyed, my Wang Xu is dead!" ”

"Your Excellency!"

"Be careful, sir!"

Suddenly, the guards on the side threw Wang Xu to the ground, and saw a fierce beast the size of a horse dodging the rain of arrows and boulders, rushed forward and jumped onto the two-zhang high city wall, pounced and bitten, and immediately killed and injured several people!

"Kill this brute!"

With a loud shout, more than a dozen soldiers and mercenaries gritted their teeth and pounced, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and directly greeted the fierce beast. However, what shocked everyone was that this beast, which seemed to be only the size of a horse, had very tough scales, and when an ordinary sword cut it, there was only a white mark, and a shot pierced it, only a white spot! Only the first-order armor weapons equipped with the county soldiers can cause some damage to them, but they are not fatal.

And the fierce beast's counterattack was particularly fierce.

With the swing of a claw, you can tear people apart!

In an instant, two people were killed!

In the end, a few soldiers risked their lives to pounce on it, hugged it, limited the beast's flexibility, and killed it with a spear long piercing into its mouth!

"Your Excellency!"

Wang Xu survived, but his face was very ugly.

"Attention all the soldiers, these fierce beasts have tough scales and skin, and their swords are difficult to hurt, and they can only be killed by attacking their mouths and eyes!" Wang Xu drew his sword and shouted: "But don't worry, I have already summoned the lord for help, as long as you hold on for a moment, reinforcements must be coming." ”

Immediately, the soldiers, officials, mercenaries, and young men on the city wall were in high spirits.

In the city, there were still many people who did not want to leave, and spontaneously organized themselves to carry various supplies for the soldiers guarding the city walls.

Among them, there are even old people with gray hair, weak women and children!

Some officials are trying to dissuade them, but to no avail.

"We are from Liangzhou, and we must not bow to the beast!"

"Lord Taishou is in the city, and we have to do our part!"

All this, in the despair of blood and fire, makes a warm current surge in people's hearts.

I don't know if it is because of the support of these stubborn people, the warriors on the city wall are exceptionally tenacious.

When the fierce beasts outside the city withstood the rain of attacks from the city, most of them reached the city walls. Immediately, the entire city wall became stormy!

The fierce beasts the size of horses and sharp claws were the first to leap to the top of the city in groups. The warriors roared and shouted, oblivious to the ferocious beasts!

Some people had their chests torn and their internal organs flowed out, and they still refused to retreat. Some of them have broken arms and thighs, and they have to climb up to fight the beasts

Taishou Wang Xu held on to the sword and personally fought with the fierce beast, and within a few moments, he was injured in many places.

The guards were persuaded to retreat, so they had to be protected.

However, in the face of more and more fierce beasts leaping onto the city, the situation of the warriors became more and more difficult. Under the city, there are also huge beasts that are comparable in size to giant beasts, they use the sharp horns on their heads to hit the city wall fiercely, and every time, there is a loud rumbling sound, and the city wall is shaking!

That's not all, there is even a monster that looks like a big ball of meat, which can spew venom within twenty or thirty meters!

This venom is extremely corrosive, and when it falls on the head of the city, it can quickly corrode the city wall into a large pit. If it falls on a person, it can directly kill people!

There are many other kinds of fierce beasts, all of which are extremely fierce.

There were fewer and fewer guards around Wang Xu, and he became more and more desperate in his heart, shouting: "Come on, quickly organize them to retreat immediately!" ”

Wang Xu pointed to the people in the city who were still helping to carry supplies, and shouted: "Let's hold on for a while, just hold on for a moment!" ”

"Hold on!"

On the city wall, the surviving warriors who were still fighting all roared, like crazy demons!

On the road leading to Yungo, a general in golden armor and golden helmet held a long-handled broadsword in his hand, and led a Biao Biao Destroying War Horse to gallop rapidly: "Soldiers, speed up!" ”

Along the way, Zhang Liao met many people who were retreating to Liangzhou in a hurry, and he also kept communicating with Lan Xiangniao, paying attention to the battle situation in Jincheng County.

From Lan Xiangniao's field of vision, he clearly saw the current situation of Jincheng County, the ferocity of those fierce beasts, and the sacrifice of those warriors. But I can only watch, but there is nothing I can do! I can't wait to fly to Jincheng County immediately and kill all those beasts!

Since Jincheng County did not border the princes' domains, there was no regular army stationed here. In peacetime, it is only some recruit training camps that eliminate retired county soldiers. Although the county soldiers are equipped with second-hand armor, in terms of combat effectiveness, they are too far from the regular soldiers.

With the combined strength of some county soldiers, government servants, mercenaries, and young people, how can they resist such a ferocious beast?!

While applauding and mourning for these warriors, Zhang Liao was also slightly frightened by the combat power of the fierce beast!

It is difficult for these fierce beasts to inflict damage on them with ordinary swords, and their defensive power is probably comparable to that of first-order armor. It also has sharp claws and can break through the defenses of the first-order armor. And there are many types of them, some are good at melee combat, some have a big head and strong strength, and even have long-range attacks!

It's really hard to deal with such an enemy!

However, Zhang Liao has confidence in the three thousand Destroying Blade Warriors under his command!

And it is certain that there will never be too many casualties, of course, provided that he does not die and collides with the kind of fierce beast that is comparable to a giant beast.

Through the vision of the blue bird, Zhang Liao observed that although these fierce beasts have their own abilities, they also have their own shortcomings. For example, the kind of fierce beast with sharp claws and teeth similar to the size of a horse is not enough in size and strength, and it is absolutely unable to resist the charge of the devastating war horse.

And that kind of fierce beast with a huge physique, it is slow to move and easy to dodge.

As for the flesh-like beast that can spew venom, its range is not long enough, and it has to build up momentum for a long time before it can spit a second time.

As for the rest of the fierce beasts, they also have their own shortcomings, as long as they are properly commanded, Zhang Liao is fully confident that they will be annihilated!

After all, the current Bladebreaker Cavalry, in addition to the mount armor is still a first-order, the knights are all equipped with second-order armor with sharper weapons, stronger armor defense, and stronger special effects.

The defense and special effects of the second-order armor are several times stronger than the first-order armor!

The war horse is racing on the avenue, setting off a huge shock, and Jincheng is already in sight!

Zhang Liao had already cut off the communication with the Lan Xiangniao on his shoulder, he couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear to see the tragic situation of those soldiers in Jincheng, and the county guard who lived and died with the city!

When the war riders saw that they had reached the outside of the Golden City, they saw some people rushing out of the city gate.

"It's a war horse!"

The people wept with joy.

An old man shouted: "The war horse is coming, the war horse is coming!" Hurry up and save Lord Taishou, go and save Lord Taishou! ”

The people consciously retreated to both sides, crying, laughing, and shouting loudly.

Zhang Liao's face was solemn, the long knife shook, and he roared, shouting: "All the soldiers! ”

"Here!"

"With Ben will kill all those beasts, kill and kill !!"

"Kill, kill!!"

"Charge!" (To be continued.) )
