Chapter 721: Defending the City (2)
This snake king is quite capable.
Although now was not the time to praise the enemy, Song Jianqiu couldn't help but think about it for a moment.
After all, it is very difficult to train human soldiers, to keep them neat and disciplined, let alone a group of snake people, even if it is said that snake people are equal in intelligence to humans, but in fact, because of different races, so their habits are different.
Emotional indifference, cautious personality, etc., many human shortcomings are more obvious in snake people, and this is still a common phenomenon.
But even so, the snake king was able to clean up a group of snake people, although he had the support of the eight snakes behind him, but if he himself didn't have two brushes, he couldn't do it.
Although the thoughts were turning in my heart, the movements of my hands did not stop.
She held the stone spirit sword and cast the Three Pools Seal Moon, this move, although it is not the largest range in the nine-tone string spectrum, but the consumption is the most cost-effective.
I saw three full moons reflected in the sky, and the sound waves spread layer by layer, preventing a large number of flying spears from falling.
And Zhu Xinnuo and the others also used their own range attacks in the swordsmanship, at least one-third of the flying spears were blocked, and the strafing of the talisman drum greatly reduced the pressure on the city barrier.
After about five rounds, the spear became thin and then stopped, presumably running out of spears.
Seeing this scene, Song Jianqiu and the others all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if they continued all the time, I am afraid that the barrier might not be able to withstand it.
However, the throwing of flying spears is just a cover, taking advantage of this time, a large number of sword and shield soldiers have taken the opportunity to approach the city wall, and they do not have any siege ladders or siege equipment, etc., and they gather up, which is to slash and poke at the barrier, which makes the barrier fluctuate.
Just when the archers and talisman drums on the city wall were shooting at the snake people below, suddenly, they saw another wave of flying spear rain falling, and suddenly everyone on the city wall was face changed, although at the same time they started to clear this wave of flying spear rain, but in the end, the barrier was broken after holding on for a few seconds.
A large number of flying spears fell, and many soldiers had no time to dodge, and were directly nailed to the city wall, and for a time the screams on the wall were endless.
One flying spear can make the soul of a human soldier weak, and then let alone two flying spears, just rub a little edge, and the soul will fly away and disappear without a trace.
These flying spears are only two fingers thick, but the power of throwing them is amazing, and the soul body is like tissue paper in front of it, falling on the wall, and it is directly into the ground, and some even knock the wall stacks into the ground, and there are splashes of rubble everywhere, which makes people unavoidable.
Some of the drums were also damaged in this rain of flying spears.
Seeing that this was just the confrontation and suffered such a heavy loss, Song Jianqiu was almost about to do it herself, but Zhou Qingli, who was beside her, discovered her intentions and hurriedly reached out to stop her.
The most powerful snake man on the side should be the snake king, and the most powerful on their side is Song Jianqiu, if the snake king has not appeared, Song Jianqiu will make a move, and when the time comes, the consumption will be large, and then against the snake king, I am afraid that it will suffer.
So no matter how heavy the losses are, Song Jianqiu can't make a move.
However, there is no way to go on like this, those spearmen are too threatening, and they must find a way to make them less at ease, otherwise, this battle will not be fought at all.
Therefore, after stopping Song Jianqiu, Zhou Qingli signaled, and the former immediately understood what he meant, so he nodded.
After getting Song Jianqiu's consent, Zhou Qingli immediately rose into the air, turned into a spirit turtle, and his thirty-meter-long figure flew in mid-air, making a roaring sound, and then flew towards the phalanx of flying spearmen, and before he got close, he spit out a red glass-like fireball and smashed it down.
Seeing this, the flying spearmen below were immediately shocked and wanted to dodge, but in the case of a large number of people, it was obviously impossible to disperse at once, and the fire jade ball fell quickly, and before it could completely disperse, it had already fallen to the ground, and suddenly the ground let out a hissing scream.
The spirit turtle spat out two more fire jade balls, causing the snake people and spearmen below to panic.
But at this moment, a man who looked like an officer began to hiss loudly, and it was obviously speaking the language of the snake clan itself, which outsiders could not understand, only the snake clan could understand.
Under the shouts of this snake army army, those phalanxes that were not attacked launched an attack on the spirit turtles flying in mid-air.
The dense flying spear shot over, and the spirit turtle increased its height slightly, but it didn't dare to fly too high, otherwise if it flew too high, it would be attacked by the ghosts gathered in the sky, so he could only keep shaking his head and tail to dodge, and at the same time, he spit out the fire jade ball to attack.
However, because of the increase in height, the time for the fire jade ball to fall became longer, and halfway through, it was obstructed by dozens of snake man soul magicians, and the sword qi soul ball and even the poisonous ball smashed on the fire jade ball one after another, and finally before it fell, it was torn apart and shattered.
Seeing this, the spirit turtle obviously felt the difficulty of these snake people, increasing the spitting speed of the fire jade balls, but increasing the size of the fire jade balls, so that some fire jade balls could land in the queue before they were completely broken.
And as long as it reaches this point, it doesn't matter if it is broken or not, anyway, if it is broken, it will also blow up the surrounding snake people and consume their soul power.
With the containment of the spirit turtle, the spearmen were finally suppressed, but because the snake people had a way to deal with it, the former could not cause more losses to the spearmen, and the two sides were a stalemate for a while.
At this time, the battle on the side of the city gate was still in full swing.
After not being supported by the spearmen, although there was no barrier, the snake people did not have siege equipment and stairs, so they were not much of a threat.
As long as the soldiers stood on the top of the city, they could comfortably shoot below, because there were so many people piled up that they could hit the target without even aiming.
At the same time, some logistics soldiers also began to take action, carrying down the damaged talisman drums, dragging back those that could be repaired back to repair, and those that could not be repaired were directly swept aside as garbage, and then replaced with new talismans.
As a face drums reappeared, the scorching light fell on the ground again, and with a slight sweep, the illuminated snake man was burned into nothingness.
Four pillars of light shone obliquely on the ground, and the snake soldiers dodged and pounced forward, only closer to the city wall could they avoid the illumination of the drums.
With the barrier shattered, the battle was no less intense, although it had not yet entered the white-knuckle battle.
Unlike the physical body, if you are injured, you will always be bleeding from pain, lose your combat effectiveness, and if you hit a fatal part, you will die immediately.
The soul body is different, strictly speaking, it does not have the so-called fatal parts, because even if the head is cut off, it is only a loss of control of the body, in fact, it is still alive, if the head can be installed back and it takes a period of cultivation, it can survive again.
This situation also leads to the fact that it is very troublesome to kill a person in the underworld, and in war, it is a very difficult problem.
No matter how many rune arrows are fired, how many rune arrows the enemy has hit, as long as the rune arrows are pulled, they can continue to attack unscathed, at most they feel pain when they are shot, and they just scream, and what is lost when they are injured is not blood, but soul power.
In this case, the only way to do this is to attack the apex with a dense attack, which will cause a small area of enemies to lose a lot of soul power and eventually be destroyed.
Under the city wall, white smoke continued to drift away, and a famous snake man rushed to the city wall as if he had just been freshly baked from a steamer.
Just after accumulating a number of snake soldiers under the city wall, the ground suddenly vibrate, and huge snakes burrowed out of the ground near the city wall.
When he came out, he pushed some of the snake soldiers aside, then stood up straight and let out a loud hissing sound.
Normal snakes don't make holes, but the snakes in the underworld are naturally different, and they can actually drill out of the ground, whether it is with soul magic or something else, such an attack is indeed very surprising.
There are four of these giant snakes that emerge from the ground, each forty or fifty meters long, and the waist is thick enough for people to walk and climb on it freely.
And the species of these four snakes include round-headed snakes, triangular snakes, and cobras among them. They came out directly in the area close to the city wall, and after standing upright, they were even higher than the city wall, and they could open their bloody mouths and directly spit extremely corrosive venom at the city wall.
As soon as they appeared, they targeted the heavy crossbowmen and the drummers, trying to eliminate the two weapons that posed the greatest threat to the snake soldiers.
Fortunately, Zhu Xinnuo and the others reacted quickly, and just when the other party was about to spit out venom, they simply missed the snake's head and saved most of the Fu drums and heavy crossbows, but there were still two heavy crossbows that were splashed by the venom, and they were immediately corroded and emitted white smoke and became waste.
Seeing the giant snake appear, Zhu Xinnuo and the others were about to kill it, but at this moment, five snake people dressed differently from ordinary snake soldiers appeared on top of the giant snake and stopped Zhu Xinnuo and the others.
One of the snake people happened to be opposite Yuanli, and the former saw that the pattern on the latter's snake tail was the unique pattern of the Red Refining King Snake, and immediately hissed and shouted, "It turned out to be the remnant of the Red Refining King Snake!" In the past, I thought that the Snake King had wronged you, but now it seems that you really colluded with the Terrans, and even helped the Terrans defend the city and hindered the plans of the Snake King! Look at me Red Eyebrows Manla, kill you, and give it to the Serpent King! ”
At this time, Yuanli was a young female figure with a snake tail in her body, and this red-eyed Manla obviously didn't recognize that she was the little princess of the Red Refining King Snake.
When Yuanli heard Red Eyebrow Manla's words, a murderous aura appeared in his eyes, and he pounced on him with a scimitar in his hand.
