Chapter 39: The Great War in the South
The sunshine, I don't know when it will subside, the haze, enveloping the four fields!
The battle was in full swing, and under the banner, the three armies were in place.
At the foreground were strong crossbowmen and heavy repeaters, behind them were all huge shieldmen, archers were at the rear, and on the left and right were cavalry and beast cavalry.
It was a rectangular army of 50,000 horses, and this formation was designed to protect the existence of the city walls.
Many of the soldiers did not understand why they were protecting the walls and not the walls protecting them, until they felt the ground tremble.
On the city wall, Xuanyuan Jianhong looked solemn, and his sharp eyes stared at the front.
Thunder was rolling, and the sky was full of dust covering most of the sky, and judging from the momentum alone, the number was extremely large.
"Crossbowman, prepare!"
Countless heavy crossbows were carried up to the city, and on the left and right sides were light crossbow archers.
The scalp-tinging roar of the beast began to sound, and in the dust, one after another flew first.
These birds are of different sizes and shapes, some of them have lost half of their heads, some of their bodies are full of holes, and some of them only have the upper half left, but they all have one thing in common, their eyes are dead white, and their expressions are hideous.
Xuanyuan Jianhong saw that this group of flying birds had reached the firing range, and roared violently: "Release the arrow!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Heavy crossbows shot out like machine guns.
The penetrating power of the crossbow arrows is far from comparable to that of ordinary arrow rains, tearing through the air while piercing the body of the corpse bird.
For a moment, the birds fell to the ground like dumplings, and then, the beast tide on the ground trampled on the broken corpses and continued to rush forward.
It was also at this moment that the soldiers finally understood why they wanted to hold on to the outside of the city, because the city walls were too fragile in the face of a huge number of fierce beasts!
Fear is inevitable! However, there is no way out for them, and the soldiers are more reluctant to let these ghosts break into the kingdom than fear.
"Crossbowmen, ready!"
"Archer, prepare!"
In the midst of the army, the Overseers roared loudly.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The rain of arrows tore through the sky and poured down, and on the ground, one after another fierce beasts fell down, the front was blocked, the rear could not exert force, and the strength of the attack was weakened a lot.
The advantage of the crossbow is fully manifested, and the archer only shoots the second arrow, and the crossbow has already fired four arrows in a row.
In the face of the double-sided firepower suppression of the land and air, the undead beast group had no resistance and could barely approach half a step, but unfortunately, when the firepower was fierce and always stopped, the shortage of arrow feathers was the biggest problem.
"General Hou, the arrow feather will be gone soon, ask for supplies!"
When the main general heard this, his face sank, and he roared violently: "Military seniors." ”
"In!" a military delivery man quickly arrived.
"What the hell, what about the arrow feathers? Without arrow feathers, how can the soldiers resist the enemy?"
"General Hou, no! ”
"Fart! General Ben remembers that there are tens of thousands, why are there none?"
"All the rest was carried up to the wall. ”
The main general's expression sank, and he said to the side of his own soldiers: "Go, ask General Xuanyuan to call the arrow feather." ”
"Yes!" the soldiers hurried away.
On the city wall, Xuanyuan Jianhong listened to the report of his subordinates, and his heart sank again, the arrows were almost used up!
At this moment, another general stepped forward quickly. "General, there is a serious shortage of arrows under the city, and General Hou asks for support. ”
Xuanyuan Jianhong sighed lightly and said slowly: "Tell General Hou to prepare for close combat, and in addition, find a way to retrieve the arrow feathers on the monster." ”
The general was shocked, saw the overseer on the side nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Obey!"
When the last arrow was fired, the archers quickly retreated, and stood at the front of the line to form a giant shield soldier, and from a distance, an 'I' shaped iron wall suddenly appeared.
Without the suppression of arrow feathers, the pace of the corpse beast's attack was in full swing, and one by one it was approaching with teeth and claws.
Boom!
The Lord drew his sword and roared: "Soldiers, prepare for melee combat!"
Under the giant iron shield, there were pairs of fearful eyes, but their hands holding the shield were extremely strong, and their steps did not show the slightest sign of retreating.
The roar was getting closer, the tremor on the ground was getting stronger, and the shield soldier's heart was getting tighter.
"Cavalry attack, kill!"
"Kill!"
The cavalry on both sides took the lead and shot towards the beast tide.
The two torrents quickly collided together, the cavalry fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the corpse beast was not afraid of life and death, and the two sides retreated at an alarming speed, among them, the most tragic was the invincible beast cavalry regiment, in the face of the same combat power and crushed in terms of quantity, whether the warrior on the back of the beast or the giant beast sitting down, they were torn apart and divided.
The war horses screamed, the soldiers screamed, and the crowd was quickly covered by the beast tide and advanced.
The collision was imminent, and the Overseers everywhere shouted, "Hold on!"
But how can human power withstand the high-speed collision of a giant beast! It's like a person trying to rely on brute force to stop a high-speed car!
Bang!!!
The giant shield was either torn apart or flew high, and the shield array that seemed to be a strong base was completely defeated, and countless shield soldiers were knocked into the air and flew up, and were bitten by the birds in the air before they hit the ground.
The scene was chaotic, screaming endlessly, and humans and beasts were in an all-round close-range fight.
Compared with the city wall, the battle situation on the city wall is more tragic, the soldiers are facing the birds, they have nowhere to start, they can only fight for their lives, most of them are carried away by the birds when they struggle to resist and kill, and their fate is destined to die, either together with the birds falling high and dying or being quickly decomposed in mid-air.
Xuanyuan Jianhong silently looked at the endless herd of beasts, and his heart was desolate.
He knew very well that without sufficient weapons to support, the army would not be able to hold the city at all! The soldiers suffered heavy losses, but the tide of beasts was still endless!
This is the army of the undead!
"Report to the general, the reserve soldiers don't have silver weapons, what should I do?" The general saw that his side had suffered heavy casualties, and the tens of thousands of troops who were ready to fill the position were all ordinary weapons, and he panicked for a while.
"Let the soldiers pick it up from the ground and pull it out of this bunch of damn things. ”
"General... "I'm stunned.
"Can't you hear General Ben's words?" Xuanyuan Jianhong was furious.
"Yes!" the general gritted his teeth and left.
Xuanyuan Jianhong fought countless battles, but he was never so helpless, because he was not facing people! It was a group of monsters with no pain and no feelings! However, he couldn't retreat, and there was no way back!
"Soldiers!" Xuanyuan Jianhong swung his spear hard, killing the birds that pounced on him in one fell swoop, and continued to roar: "Defend the kingdom, keep the family, kill!"
"Kill!"
Countless soldiers sacrificed their lives and forgot to fight with birds, the number of birds became smaller and smaller, and the soldiers on the city wall became fewer and fewer!
Unfortunately, this is not the end, but only the beginning!
In the distance, on the horizon, countless birds were once again densely populated.
When Xuanyuan Jianhong saw this scene, he was completely chilled!
The dragon groans, like a rainbow covering the earth after rain.
"Commander-in-chief!"
"The commander is here!
The soldiers in the city and even on the city wall stared blankly at the golden dragon roaring towards them, and the deafening cheers did not disperse for a long time.
The light is bright and dazzling!
In mid-air, a shadow suddenly stood up, long clothes were flying, white hair was fluttering, and she was as holy as the Nine Heavens Xuannu descended to earth!
"Holy Maiden!"
The fighting spirit in the army is unprecedentedly strong, and the soldiers are even more willing to sacrifice their lives to resist the enemy.
Li Yue'er's eyes shot golden, and her hands waved in the air.
The sky darkened, and lightning flashed across the sky.
Soon, these electric rays converged into a network, and the infinite amount of horizontal spread was successfully separated from the beast tide.
The beasts were still roaring wildly, but as soon as they touched the power grid, they disappeared instantly, and even so, the beast tide showed no signs of stopping.
The golden dragon put down Ye Gucheng on the city wall, the dragon's body twisted, and the wind generally plunged into the beast tide that was fighting with the soldiers, and everywhere it passed, the corpse beasts flew high one after another, or grabbed or bitten, or threw or thrown, even if the dragon tail that looked lethal, it was easy to smash the corpse beast and swing it away, where it was, there was a vacuum.
Ye Gucheng is the most relaxed person! Because he doesn't have any chance to make a move except watching the battle! Of course, his attention is still fixed on the shadow in mid-air, and a trace of worry flashes in the depths of his eyes, he knows that what Li Yue'er is now using is the magic that he used to destroy the Tuoba Absolute Army in the royal capital.
Li Yue'er saw that the power grid was fully formed, and with one finger, the power grid flashed out like a meteor.
In an instant, as far as the eye could see, no matter in the sky or on the ground, the beast tide disappeared without a trace, leaving the soldiers with an endless scorched black plain.
The cheers rang out, and the soldiers around the city walls worked harder to behead the few corpse beasts.
Strangely, Li Yue'er did not stop there, her hands waved again, and a new power grid was generated again.
Bursts?
Ye Gucheng opened his mouth wide, and the worry in his eyes was even worse.
A new wave of beasts once again appeared in the eyes of everyone, and it was also at this moment that the soldiers understood why Li Yue'er continued to use magic.
Like the fate of the first wave, a new round of beast tides once again rushed into the power grid.
Li Yue'er's face began to turn pale, and her delicate body trembled violently, obviously she had entered the state of rest, and the spirit of the golden dragon on the ground had also deteriorated a lot.
Li Yue'er saw that it was almost over, she bit her silver teeth, struggled with one finger, and the power grid shot out again.
Burst!!
Li Yue'er couldn't help but raise her head and spurt blood, her eyes were golden and scattered, and her delicate body was weak to fall.
"Yue'er!" Ye Gucheng's expression changed drastically, and he roared violently: "Ying Long!"
Without Ye Gucheng's orders, the moment Li Yue'er fell, the golden dragon struggled to soar, and while catching Li Yue'er, he rushed to the city with all his might.
Bang!!
The golden dragon may have been too tired, and its body crashed into the building like uncontrollable, and for a while, one tall building after another collapsed.
Ye Gucheng was so anxious that he rushed straight down the city wall, and soon found the place where the golden dragon fell.
The golden dragon was fine, but he was slightly injured, and Li Yue'er looked much more serious, her pretty face turned pale and she fell into a coma.
"Healer, save people!"
Several doctors quickly stepped forward and carried Li Yue'er onto the stretcher and walked away quickly.
Although Ye Gucheng was worried about Li Yue'er's situation, he knew better that at this time, he should be more concerned about the battle situation.
Fortunately, after Li Yue'er's two waves of killings, the beast tide never appeared again, and the remaining corpse beasts that attacked the city were also killed.
It's still holding the city!
The soldiers who survived the catastrophe cheered loudly, but most of them were in tears, and in this battle, nearly half of the soldiers were killed and countless were wounded.
