Five hundred and fifty-seven, the first experience of the beast tide (I)
The newly built Burning City sits on a pass between two mountains.
Because the foundation of the former city is still there, although the main body of the fire city is still under construction, the main wall of the southern city has been completely completed.
This city wall is two miles long, more than four zhang high, and the thickness has reached an astonishing three zhang and five feet.
There is an urn city in the south city, and four prismatic horse faces are raised outside the wall, and powerful mechanical crossbows are hidden inside, and the firepower is also very strong.
In front of the southern city of the Agni City, there are three rows of tall artificial bamboo forests running alongside.
These three rows of bamboo walls are made of Huang Xun bamboo, a specialty of the southwest, which can resist ordinary sharp weapons and fire burning, each bamboo is as high as two zhang, the diameter is higher than the porcelain basin, even if it is a top dark realm powerhouse such as Ke and Xue Muhua, it may not be able to cut it off with a knife.
In each row of bamboo walls, the distance between the two bamboos is about less than three feet, which is enough for a strong man to pass freely, and it must be very crowded when two people walk side by side.
And between the two bamboos, the upper one, the next one, the middle waist one, and then connected by three iron rods, the binding is the hamstrings of the golden-horned bison, which is very tough and strong.
These three rows of bamboo forests, each row stretches at least three or four hundred meters away, and the row of bamboo forests closest to the moat of the city wall is the longest, nearly two miles, almost covering the entire southern city wall. The passes.
The interval between the three rows is more than 30 zhang.
This batch of Huang Xun Bamboo Green Leaf Castle Yue Chiba is a gift specially given to Agni City. Xi Zhicai's original plan was to use these bamboos to build one or two yellow bamboo villages in front of the city to share the pressure of the main city wall, but within two days, he got the news that the beast tide was coming, and it was too late in time.
Therefore, Xi Zhi made a decision immediately. According to local conditions, he ordered people to make such three rows of bamboo walls, hoping to slightly block the trend of the beast tide.
……
Behind the first row of bamboo walls in the southernmost region, Wei Yan rode alone on a tall unicorn horse from Nanling, with a long knife resting horizontally on the horse's back, standing upright in the center of the procession.
Behind him. On the left stands Sima Weiwen of the Chinese army, holding an eight-foot steel fork; On the right is Wei Wu, a trap captain with a white cloth on his head and an iron helmet, he was accidentally hit by a goldenhorned ox last time, and his concussion was still very severe, but after receiving several treatments, he did not recover. Immediately ran out of the clinic.
Wei Wen and Wei Wu are Wei Yan's most reliable right and left hands.
On either side of these two men were two hundred soldiers of the army.
Yu Yuan, the abbot on the left rear, and close to Wei Wen are a hundred personal guards, most of the guards are close to Wei Yan for more than two years, everyone is proficient in martial arts, and in the army, they are at least the elite of ten enemies.
How far is the right rear three zhang. Behind Wei Wu, another hundred guards. Most of them are warriors from the southwestern cities such as Aoba, Rock, and Manxue.
These days, Xi Zhicai's body is very good, showing a flexible and changeable ability to control the overall situation, Wei Yan listened to orders under his command, silently observed, and got a lot of inspiration. The brain has been opened.
He was eclectic and decisively absorbed many brave and healthy people with natural divine power in Nanling.
These newcomers are all endorsed by the city lords of the southwestern cities, and they voluntarily come to the front line of the "anti-demon" in the Agni City, to contribute their strength to resist the beast tide this spring, although their loyalty is not easy to say. There is basically no major problem with roots. And most of them are proficient in crossbow machines and heavy weapons, have experienced beast tides many times, and have rich experience in killing demon beasts with their own hands.
On the left, there were 100 guards, all of whom were covered by iron armor, carrying long knives, erecting a half-person-high defensive shield in their left hand, and holding a three-stone hard crossbow in their right hand, their faces were calm and slightly nervous.
Today, they all abandoned their mounts and changed to infantry uniforms, determined to follow the main general and fight the monster to the death.
The small beast tide a few days ago brought them a huge shock, even these veterans who had experienced a hundred battles had never experienced such a strong and barbaric impact.
Many important generals such as Wei Wu, the deputy general of the army, and Lingjian, the leader of the sword maids, were injured, dozens of brothers were killed and wounded, and many of them have not been able to go into battle so far.
And this time, it is said that the scale of the beast tide is several times that of the last time, mainly led by three or four high-level demon venerables, and there may even be seventh-level demon saints.
Although the reinforcements from the southwestern cities have arrived, everyone has no bottom in their hearts whether they can withstand this demon beast.
However, as long as the Lord Wei Yan was still on their side, they had nothing to fear.
Most of the Nanling wrestlers on the right are dressed in animal skins, and the main weapons are more miscellaneous, whips, hammers, hooks, everything, mainly guns, axes, sledgehammers, maces, and maces, and in addition, the long-range weapons in each person's hand are a four-stone personal crossbow.
Most of these strong crossbows are produced by the Canglang Chamber of Commerce owned by Sang Hong, and Qin Yu gave half of them to Agni City after purchasing them from her Zhendong branch, Canglang Soldiers' Workshop, and now, they have become the main weapon in the fight against the beast tide this time.
The other part is the personal donation of Ling Tian, the federal consul.
All of them are the best of the best of the Federation's military ordnance!
In addition to the 200 elite soldiers behind the first row of bamboo walls, there are people stationed behind the second and third rows of bamboo walls, but the number is much smaller.
After the second row of bamboo forests, there were more than 20 people in the sparse Lala, all of whom were strong people above the high level of the Dark Realm, except for the half-step Grandmaster Panshi Dao led by them, the others were recruited from various cities in the southwest and volunteered to participate in the defense of the city.
Their task was to hold back the small number of Demon Venerables that had leaked in.
Behind the third row of walls, there was only one person in the large open space.
A middle-aged man with a slightly pale face and a plump appearance.
He sat cross-legged on a yellow futon with his eyes closed, his hands folded, palms upward, and he didn't know what exercises he was practicing.
This person is Xu Liu, who has been hiding behind Xi Zhicai before, and has basically never made a move.
However, he has always been single-clothed and dressed, but this time he unexpectedly put on a dark ochre-colored half-body leather armor, which is made of the back skin of a fierce fire pig at the peak of the dark realm as the main tanning, because of the hurry, the stitches are still relatively rough, and the style is not good, but it is light and convenient, and the defense is still above the general military iron armor.
It was the only loot he had secretly shot last time.
……
Behind the female wall of the southern city of the Burning City, there were several people standing.
In the center, there is a drama Zhicai with his hands on his back, dressed in a military uniform, and his cloak is slightly fluttering in the wind, looking heroic.
His face was calm, and he looked ahead without saying a word.
The low, thunderous vibration rumbled endlessly. According to the estimation of the experienced Binghe Sanren, there are at least a thousand heavyweight demon beasts rushing in the distance.
However, there was never a single demon beast in front of everyone.
On the left hand side of Xi Zhicai is Binghe Sanren, and on the right is Shi Huang and Mrs. Shi Tang Yuanshui.
The rest of the masters and powerhouses such as Yin Xue, Ke Fangxie, and Xue Muhua were all stationed in other directions to prevent them from being copied by high-level demon beasts and accidentally losing their defenses.
That would also be very confusing.
Behind a few people, there are nearly twenty sword maids from Lingxiang Village, but their leader Lingjian has not healed from his injuries, and he is currently under the command of Mrs. Shi for the time being.
Mrs. Shi used to be one of the leaders of Wuling Manxiongxi, Qu Shuai, with extraordinary wisdom, and she was also a high-level powerhouse in the dark realm, so it was not a problem to subdue these swordsmen.
The rumbling was becoming more and more pronounced......
"It's near! It's close! Binghesanren, who had been listening to the movement with his ears straight, suddenly whispered.
Xi Zhicai's eyebrows jumped, and his eyes shot at Wei Yan behind the first row of bamboo walls.
This is the first line of defense set up by the City of Fire.
The time has come to test the quality of this army. (To be continued......)
PS: There is still in the afternoon, don't go away......
