Chapter 26 Arrangement
According to the information sent back by the front sentry not long ago, this large monster force outside the city has absorbed the remnants of the first two batches of defeated troops, and the number has reached as many as two hundred and thirty. As for Flying Eagle City, due to the sentry post and the necessary garrison of the city wall in other three directions, part of the force has been divided, and there are currently 312 city guards on the east wall, 37 sacred spears of the church, 86 players, 15 brocades, 61 private soldiers of the Chamber of Commerce, and 23 members of the Hayabusa Cavalry. If you look at the numbers alone, the human side seems to have an absolute advantage, but because most of these soldiers are just ordinary people, whether they are physical fitness or combat skills, they are far inferior to those monsters, and can only be used as auxiliary forces, and the ones who can really fight those monsters are actually less than half. Fortunately, the greatest advantage of the human side is the city wall.
"Lord Shengyan, this is the first time I've participated in a battle of this scale, so please feel free to tell me what you need to do." Facing that black and oppressive monster, Du Qi was a little excited in his heart.
"Let's take a look at the situation first, it's the first time that the hoof flower has appeared in the monster's team, I'm afraid we'll have some trouble." Sheng Yan's tone was very flat, obviously used to seeing similar scenes. He yelled at the few teams of ballistas not far away, to the effect that they should find a way to deal with the monsters that resembled horses. "If it goes well, we're afraid we'll have to fight in the city." He said.
It was at this time that six monsters named Hoof Flowers walked out of the group. Black flames rose from their backs, quickly condensing to the size of human brains. Only a few hiss were heard, and a large cloud of crimson flames erupted from beneath the black fireballs, throwing them off their backs and flying over a distance of nearly a kilometer before falling. Only half of these six fireballs fell on the city wall, not to mention their small size, but their destructive power was very amazing, and one of them landed on the wall not far from Duqi, causing it to shake violently, and even the surface of those huge and solid bluestones quickly opened a terrifying crack.
"Your Excellency...... You just said that we're still out of range! Sinta asked as she recovered from the explosion.
"Hoof Flower is a monster made of a mixture of flesh and elementals, and they have two fire elements in their body, one is a relatively stable black flame, and the other is a very active red flame. The fireball is fired using the thrust generated by the red flame explosion, and that level of explosion will cause a lot of damage to their bodies, so it is not usually used this way. I thought it was just those strange creatures that were abnormal, but I didn't expect that even the native creatures of our world would go crazy. Shengyan was unmoved, and even explained a few words to everyone with a calm face, "At most, one more round, those monsters will be greatly injured." ”
"That'...... Do we need to retreat somewhat? ”
Although the walls of Flying Eagle City were equipped with four bed crossbows, six were urgently transferred from several other city walls, and they had a certain advantage in numbers. However, the range of these bed crossbows can only reach about six hundred meters, which is far less than that of the hoof. Under such circumstances, the defenders of the city could only continue to wait in frustration.
"You can imagine how poor the accuracy of that throw is, you can't hit the same spot twice. So, we're in the safest place right now. Sheng Yan was unmoved, put his hands on the female wall, and poked his head out to observe the damage to the city wall after the round of attacks just now.
"I don't know, you're also an erudite monster researcher." The corners of Sinta's mouth twitched, and he put on a heroic expression of the deputy sacrifice Peijun.
"Haha...... It's just that I've killed one head once. Note...... It's coming again. After this round, those monsters should be about to attack. Shengyan looked back at Yuemin and the others behind him, "Those three huge monsters...... What do you say it's called? ”
"Qing'er!" Qi Xin replied.
"Oh...... Qinger, what a tongue-twisting name. After two rounds of Hoofflowers' attacks, our walls probably won't be able to withstand their ramming. As long as the walls are still there, those cracks can still be repaired, but if the walls are completely destroyed, we will not be able to withstand the fourth batch of monsters attacking the city in a short time. So, this time we have to go out of the city to meet the enemy, especially to keep Qinger away from our walls. That kind of monster, without the interference of other monsters, I can take out one. On the other two ends, let's express our opinions. Shengyan's gaze fell on Du Qi and the others.
It is said that every wild servant is the pride of the sky, and Shengyan originally didn't believe it. But during this period of time, he witnessed the rapid growth of this group of rookie wild waiters. Now, even the most elite soldiers under his command did not dare to take those wild servants lightly. Especially the leading Yue Min, Qi Xin, Yuan Ya and others, their strength is even more chasing after Yi.
"Give me a team of field guards...... I'll find a way to hold one. Qi Xin volunteered.
"Your squad has had experience dealing with young people once, and I think they should be up to the task. In this way, Xia Ying ...... You walk with your squad and Qi Xin. Stay safe and don't rush it. Yue Min nodded in agreement with Qi Xin's offer, and he had clearly established himself as a leader in the player base. After arranging, he turned to look at Du Qi and asked, "What about you?" Do you have the confidence to deal with that kind of monster? ”
Yue Min had already noticed Du Qi's equipment, coupled with the momentum that had long since changed from the past, if he wanted to choose the strongest warrior in the player group now, he would vote for Du Qi.
"I've dealt with similar monsters!" Duzi thought of the mutant Negative Xuan, who had once again had an unfortunate encounter with the monster when he left the Eye of Raye. However, in this second battle, Du Qi, who had been prepared for a long time, was no longer so embarrassed, although he did not kill Negative Xuan, but he also got out smoothly after a period of maneuvering. "But...... I can't be sure until I actually fight. Give me some support, I ...... Find a way to hold it off. ”
"So be it! I asked Brother Yuanya to help you, he is very good at long-range attacks. How is it? ”
"Brother Yuanya?" Du Qi glanced at the elegant middle-aged man, who was the first god to study runes. Yue Min swore that their research must have made progress again, "No problem." ”
"Okay, then I'll lead the rest of the wild squires and take care of the other monsters." Min Yue finally summed up, and then looked back at the line Shengyan, "My lord, do you think this arrangement is feasible?" ”
"I heard that several cities in the north are crumbling under the siege of monsters, and our Flying Eagle City has been able to navigate until now, thanks to the help of all the wild attendants. The three-headed Qinger is distributed in this way, and the other monsters can't all be handled by you, so let Yi Qi lead the elite warriors of the city guards and the temple guards out of the city to assist you. And also...... The magic of Hua Yi and his people is also very effective in this kind of battle. If you can......"
"No problem!" Hua Yi knocked on his chest with a pair of huge bear paws, "I will lead my clan out of the city, and if there is a problem with any team, we will rush to help as soon as possible." ”
"Identity, thank you! In addition, let Lie Chao be informed that his Hayabusa can set off. His main task is to monitor the situation on the battlefield, and if there is a chance, to deal with the hoof flowers in the back, I don't want to wait for them to regain their strength before sending us a few more shots. Sinta, the remaining private soldiers gathered by the city guards and chambers of commerce are under your command for the time being, and if there is an unexpected situation that causes the walls to be breached, it is up to you to block the gap for me. Shengyan gave orders to everyone very competently.
Governor Qi was once again surprised to hear a familiar name in this string of orders. The monster called the plague that appeared that day, and Du Qi had a deep understanding of their horror. Being able to escape from the surprise attack of those monsters, the captain of the Flying Eagles is obviously not ordinary. I just don't know what the battle casualties were on that day.
After two consecutive volleys, Hoof Flower exited due to exhaustion. At the same time as Shengyan laid out the plan, the monster also began to stride towards the city wall. The teams of men who wielded the ballistas began to get busy, and those terrifying weapons of war continued to shoot crossbow arrows, which were a meter long and traversed the battlefield at speeds that were almost impossible to catch, and brought up large clouds of mud and sand when they landed. The monster team was concentrated at first, and many lizardmen and crocodile kings fell under the arrows, but such an attack was not too threatening to Qing Er, and the crossbow arrows only brought some wounds to them, but provoked their ferocity.
"The plan was successful, and the monster's team was scattered by the crossbow arrows." Shengyan nodded with great satisfaction, "The young man in the middle, I will lead it out of the battlefield, and you can figure out the rest." ”
At this time, Du Qi and the others had already left the city and set up a formation.
"Then give me the one on the right!" Qi Xin also made a choice.
"Then we'll take care of the left side! Brother Yuanya, do you have a way to pull Qing Er away from the team? The open space over there, I think it's a good location. ”
"No problem, I've recently worked on a few new rune combinations."
"Speaking of which, I still want to ask you about runes!" Du Qi suddenly laughed, seeing that the monster's troops were only a hundred meters away from them, he could still maintain his composure. "When the battle is over, I'll take you to a place, and I guess you'll be interested."
"How?"
"There, too, I learned two runes."
