Chapter 46: Yidao Gorge (I)
Canyon, deep and straight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
From a bird's-eye view from above, this canyon is like a knife splitting the mountain, hence the name Yidao Gorge.
Yidao Gorge is about seven or eight miles long, the two ends are narrow and the middle is wide, the widest part of the gorge is hundreds of meters, the canyon is close to the exit and narrows rapidly, at the end of Dianjiang County, the exit is about ten meters. With such a wide distance, it can easily accommodate an official road, and there are still large gaps on both sides of the road.
The total number of Zhulu Ling and Erren mercenaries is less than 100 people, and the difficulty of blocking Yidao Gorge can be imagined.
Thousands of rats are pouring in, and although they don't make much noise when they run, the sound is naturally different when they are numerous. The black-brown rats, like black-brown tides, silently flooded the earth, their short legs and fangs, and the rats' eyes were slightly red, as if they wanted to choose people to devour, very mad.
The faces of many of the fighters quickly turned pale.
However, no one flinched!
Everyone shouted and ran to Taniguchi!
The soldiers rushed into the valley for more than 50 steps, and the door panels were slammed into the ground side by side, and there was almost no gap between the door panels, and after a while, there seemed to be two more walls on the ground. Xu Shu and Zhao Feng quickly followed, unsheathed their swords and guns, and formed a second line of defense ten meters behind them.
Yu Buzhi and Yu Di stayed behind to arrange the arrow tower, Yu Di quickly marked the direction, Yu Buzhi threw out a bag from the bag, the two cooperated many times, full of tacit understanding, and completed the arrangement in a moment.
A certain village chief looked nervously at the bag of the machine, and the short opening time of 30 seconds was so long at the moment.
One by one, the towers of arrows stood up.
As soon as it was unfurled, it immediately shot arrows into the canyon.
Obviously, the rat tide has entered the range of the improved arrow tower, within 100 meters!
About two-thirds of the towers entered battle mode when the rat tide finally met the door wall.
"Woo Woo ......"
The dense impact sound is like rain hitting plantains, like beads falling on jade plates.
Many of the rats that rushed to the front died outside the door wall after the first wave of impact, and those who did not die were also dizzy, but the rats in the back continued to rush up in waves, one after another. Although the impact force of a single rat is not worth mentioning, at the same time, a large group of rats rushed up one after another, and it was not much different from the hammer combo, and the warriors behind the door panel tried their best to stop the momentum of the rat tide, and the forward speed of the entire rat tide was stagnant.
The onslaught of rat tides has only just begun.
A group of rats stepped on the bodies of the same kind and flew onto the board one by one, and within a few seconds, the board was crawling with rats below 1 meter above the ground. Fortunately, the slab is generally not less than 1.5 meters, and for a time the rat tide can not cross the door wall and attack the warriors behind the wall, but as the rear rats continue to join, the rat swarm is generally getting higher and higher, and it is only a matter of time before the rat finally crosses the defense line!
Even if they couldn't cross the defense line for the time being, the rats were not idle, and directly opened their mouths to bite the door board.
A tooth-aching sound resounded in the valley.
The sound of hundreds of rats gnawing on the door panel at the same time is terrifying beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
It looks ordinary, but it is the signature armor of the legendary mercenary man, known for its tall and thick armor, and its defensive power is amazing. Although it is gnawed by a large group of rats, it will not be bitten in a short time.
There is no need to worry about the plate for the time being, but people are a little unbearable.
The soldiers on the front line not only need to withstand the continuous impact of the rat swarm, but also need to bear the weight of at least hundreds of rats outside each door panel, feeling the rat swarm rising little by little, and may cross or bite through the board at any time, the pressure on these fighters can be imagined.
However, it's a choice they make on their own!
By this time, there is no way back!
In Suosuo's voice, the ancient war song of the people began to sound.
The singing of dozens of people, in front of the various sounds made by thousands of rats, is obviously not worth mentioning. It's like a boat in a stormy sea, as if it could be destroyed at any time. At a certain moment, Yu Buzhi, who was standing dozens of meters away, couldn't even hear the song at all, and just when he was worried, the desolate war song floated tenaciously again, more and more high-pitched, more and more excited!
All turrets are firing at full speed.
Bird Di does not control the arrow tower, the rat does not have high health, and each arrow can destroy a rat.
But there are so many rats that it's desperately numerous.
Under the continuous pressure, the physical strength of the front-line soldiers is rapidly decreasing.
When stamina drops to a dangerous level, the door wall inevitably shakes slightly.
A slight fluctuation will not have serious consequences if you switch to a regular enemy, but if the opponent is a rat swarm, it will be enough for the rat pack to find an opportunity. Dozens of rats broke through the small gap, and they seemed to be in a hurry to move forward and did not want to dwell too much, but a few rats still took advantage of the situation to bite the people.
The rats that slipped through the net were quickly eradicated, but in the short time that followed, similar situations occurred several times.
Xu Shu knew that this was because the physical strength of the front-line people had reached the extreme. His heart was a little heavy, the destructive power of the rat tide was even greater than he originally thought, and the fact that the support of the front-line people was lower than expected was the most direct proof.
Xu Shu clenched his fists sideways and said to Zhao Feng: "Senior, I've worked hard." ”
Zhao Feng nodded silently, stood between the two door walls, and said, "Locust-fly-rainbow!" ”
With Zhao Feng's heavy drinking, a dazzling rainbow rose in the canyon.
As Qingfeng danced, the pale golden sword light flew into the sky with coldness and sharpness, turning into countless locusts. Locusts flutter their wings and pounce on the black-pressed rat swarm, like fireworks. The rainbow shadow outside the door panel wall is blurred, like a dream, and countless red damage numbers suddenly floated in the rat group, and the rat mountain squeezed outside the wall collapsed and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye, like pouring snow in the soup, unstoppable!
When the rainbow is gone, outside the first plank wall, within ten steps, the rats are empty!
After the old man finished his big move, he didn't say a word, retreated to the back and sat down cross-legged, silently accumulating strength.
In that case, only his ultimate could give the defenders a respite and a chance to change defenses.
Before the follow-up rat swarm pounced, Xu Shuwan commanded the troops to complete the change of defense.
The men who had been on the front line were already exhausted and returned to the open space behind the soldiers to rest. The second row of plank walls was pushed up, and at the same time, the defense area of the deer was moved forward.
The arrow tower outside the valley is still tirelessly shooting rats, but more than 20 arrows per round is tantamount to a drop in the bucket for the huge rat tide, and the shooting speed is far lower than the replenishment speed of the subsequent rat swarm, which directly leads to excessive pressure on the front line.
After Xu Shu noticed this, he immediately made adjustments.
An opening was made in the middle of the slab wall, and a large swarm of rats poured in, slightly relieving the pressure on the front.
The gap was quickly plugged.
The rats that rushed in were severely attacked by the soldiers who moved forward, and they were quickly exterminated without any suspense.
Occasionally, a few escaped, and the deer warriors didn't pay attention to it, and the rear arrow tower would automatically destroy the remnants of the enemy.
Cleaning up a batch and putting in a batch is the best choice to alleviate the pressure on the front line while ensuring that the defense line is relatively intact and trying to increase the speed of extermination. This is not without risk, and the physical strength of the soldiers is gradually depleted, and the speed of exterminating the rat colony is getting slower and slower.
Xu Shu joins the warband!
Bird Di took out a sword out of nowhere and rushed forward!
Yu Buzhi had already come to the old man, and shot arrow after arrow to the outside of the door wall.
