Chapter 810: Death Squad
The light of the morning light had barely revealed the ground, and the defenders of the Netherworld were still dozing. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of cannon in my ears.
The ghost pawns woke up from their sleep, hurriedly leaned out to look outside the city, and saw rows of soldiers approaching the Netherworld City in the field outside the city.
Ghost Face and Ghost Hustle walked side by side at the front of the line. As the vanguard officers, they were to be the first to attack the city. Their mission was to enter the city and open its gates to welcome the large army into the city.
They brought with them many siege equipment. Behind the two of them were dozens of catapults. According to the plan, they first attacked with catapults and then forced the siege with ladders.
The first soldiers to besiege the city were carefully selected ghost soldiers. There were five thousand people. They formed death squads to enter the city at all costs.
The second batch of 5,000 elite soldiers and the fire team of the Heavenly Destiny Society. Their task was to quickly occupy the gates when they were opened, and to defend them in order to ensure that the follow-up troops entered the city.
According to this siege sequence, these two groups of soldiers will face the fiercest counterattack of the enemy.
When the soldiers in the city saw the army gathered outside the city, they immediately realized that the other side was going to launch a general attack. They immediately sent someone to spread the news to the Ghost King's Palace.
Ghostface and Ghostface came to the city and immediately ordered the catapult to enter the battle position. With a command, the winch of the catapult began to turn. The soldiers carried hundreds of pounds of boulders and placed them on the flailing arms of the catapults. A ghost soldier moved the mechanism, flicked his arm and flicked it up, throwing the stone at the wall.
Dozens of catapults send out a boulder almost every minute. If a stone falls on the city, it can knock down several ghost soldiers.
The defenders of the city simply could not withstand such an attack. They ran back and forth haphazardly, dodging the rain of stones that fell from the sky.
This catapult is an original war machine in the game world. Although it is powerful, it is very cumbersome to manufacture. And it's expensive. Therefore, all the forces are exhausted, and they only rush to produce these dozens of units. It's just to be used at this time.
After the catapult exerted its power, the defenders of the city had lost the will and ability to defend.
Seeing that the catapult worked, Oniface ordered the death squads to begin the siege. The soldiers of the death squad rushed to the city together and set up ladders one after another.
Ghost Face took the lead and was the first to take the lead in climbing the ladder. He is already a cultivator in the late stage of Gathering Spirits. Moreover, the kung fu of the ghost face is mostly based on fierceness. Just right for such a fight.
Oniface was the first to go up to the top of the wall. He punched the nearest goofyman. That ghost pawn hurriedly resisted, how could he be the opponent of the ghost face.
Oniface punches the Oni Clan's head, then leaps high and pounces on the next target.
Tiger Pounce is a skill that Ghost Face acquires in the Spirit Bone Cave. It's huge. With the momentum of the ghost face, it is really like a god descending into the world.
The ghost soldiers dodged the attack of the ghost face. At this time, the death squad also climbed the city tower one after another and launched an attack on the ghost guards defending the city.
After a period of chaos, the defenders gradually calmed down a bit. When they saw that only a few thousand people had landed in the city, they launched a counterattack.
Ghostface knocked down a few of the ghostmen, and he shouted, "Don't dwell on it, go and open the gates." The death squads heard the ghost's voice and gathered around him.
The military path on the city wall is more than ten meters wide. With so many people gathered around, it was extremely crowded. At this time, there are also daredevils who keep climbing the tower. Gradually, a defensive circle was formed.
Ghostface knew it couldn't be delayed any longer. He didn't wait for all the death squads to enter the city, so he led people to kill the city.
They went all the way down the slope of the upper town. Ghostface rushes ahead and smashes the onrushing enemy.
When they were about to reach the city, a large number of enemy troops poured in from the city. They got the news and rushed from the barracks.
Ghost Face ordered people to open the city gate, and at the same time led people to block the ghost soldiers who came to him. There were too many people on the other side, and the ghost-faced death squad could only block the narrow passage leading to the city gate.
At this time, the ghost soldiers defending the city had already stopped the death squad that had landed in the city behind. And they fought on the tower. In order to buy time for the daredevils who went to the city, the backward daredevils desperately entangled the soldiers on the city tower.
Due to their small numbers, the death squads desperately resisted the enemy above and below the city. Only a dozen daredevils rushed to the city gates, ready to open the city gates for the follow-up teams to enter the city.
Ghost Face fought against a dozen ghost soldiers alone, and he was still not afraid. I saw that his fists kept hitting like the wind, and the steel fingers on his fists frequently glowed.
This is a manifestation of Ghost Face's ability to activate. Ghostface learns how to infuse demonic power into his steel fingers, which greatly increases his damage.
Each attack of Ghost Face knocks a Ghost Soldier to the ground. Unconscious lightly. The heavier ones died instantly.
Most of these ghost soldiers are foundation building ranks. The gap in the face of the ghost face is too big. However, there are too many of them, and the ghost face can't last. The other daredevils were no more brave than Ghost Face, and they could fight against three or four ghost soldiers at most. Once they are surrounded by ghost soldiers, they will not be long after.
Everyone was looking forward to the opening of the city gates as soon as possible. Their job is to open the door. But at this time, the team member who was responsible for opening the door was also in trouble.
In front of the city gate, there is also a group of ghost soldiers. They were supposed to open and close the gates.
The gates of the Netherworld are huge. If you want to open and close the door, you can't do it alone. Therefore, a hinge system was set on the two gates. The gates could only be opened by moving the hinges.
The ghost soldier in charge of opening and closing the city gate immediately destroyed the hinge mechanism as soon as he saw someone killing. After a dozen daredevils cleared the group of ghost soldiers, they found that the city gate could not be opened. At this moment, the players really don't know what to do.
Ghostface leads the death squad to the front. Someone is down all the time. Still, no one flinched. They waited for the gates to open, and they had completed their mission.
While fighting, the Ghost King paid attention to the movement in the direction of the city gate. I stared at it for a long time, but I didn't see the city gate open.
Ghostface was anxious. He knew that time was dragging on, and his side would probably not be able to withstand it. He immediately shouted, "Stop grinding! Open the door! ”
Ghost Face was anxious, and more than a dozen daredevils were even more anxious. The 5,000 daredevils fought hard to create time for them. However, none of them understood the principle of the hinge mechanism and would not repair the damaged hinge.
Just when everyone had nothing to do, the ghost clamor popped up out of nowhere.
This guy has been hiding at the end. Originally, he didn't want to go to the city, but in front of everyone, he couldn't hold back. The ghost clamor climbed the castle tower. He took advantage of the unpreparedness and slipped into a corner. However, the battle on the tower of the city was the most intense, and before he could hide it, he was discovered by a ghost soldier guarding the city.
