Chapter 1177: Beast Tide and Bombing Camp (2-in-1)
It's sunset again.
The siege battle, which lasted for a whole day, came to an end as night fell.
The leaky walls are still standing despite being riddled with holes, and the mountains of corpses and blood-stained earth at the foot of the walls tell the story of the strength of the butchers of hell.
Kargil's bravery is just a reflection of the dragon army's desire to kill.
For a whole day, the Mauryan army took turns to launch non-stop attacks, but they were always defeated by the dragon army. Especially after the artillery cooled, the trebuchets suffered heavy losses at once, and without the cover of long-range fire, the casualties of the Mauryan army increased exponentially.
The soldiers of the Longxiang Army at the head of the city are really like a group of butchers, efficiently and competently harvesting wave after wave of invading enemies. Tired, only half an hour of rest, and then he was alive again.
Under Bai Qi's training, the officers and men of the Long Xiang Army have long been adapted to high-intensity continuous combat.
At night, the hideous-looking Kargil led his troops to evacuate the front line, his back looked very lonely, and there was a hint of depression. This time, in the case of taking the initiative to ask for war, Cargil did nothing, according to the Peacock King's temperament, the next big war has been missed by Cargil, and even in the army, he will be snubbed.
Back in the camp, the other generals had no intention of gloating.
During the day, they were also on the high ground, and in good conscience, Kargil had done a very good job, maintaining the morale of the army in such difficult circumstances.
If you change it, I'm afraid that's it.
It can only be said that Long Xiangjun is indeed not in vain, and poured a basin of cold water on them.
As soon as Kargil returned, the military order of the Peacock King came, "Kargil is not effective in fighting, and he has the trust of the king, so he will be immediately relieved of his military post and taken into custody pending trial." ”
During the whole process, Kargil didn't even get to see the Peacock King before he was taken away by the cold guards.
The other generals sympathized with him, but no one would intercede for Kargil, not to mention that he might be reprimanded by the king, if the king said lightly, "Since you intercede for Kargil, you will be on tomorrow!" ”
Wouldn't that be terrible?
After a day of observation, no one will think that the attack on Naiga City is a good thing.
…………
June 10, the second day of the Battle of Naiga.
The unlucky man who was chosen by the Peacock King led his troops to launch a new round of attacks on Naiga City.
In the case of a wave of consumption, the onslaught of the Mauryan army on the second day finally had a trace of results, and the wisps attacked the city, and even for a while, they had already taken a whole section of the city wall.
However, the officers and men of the Longxiang army were really brave, fighting one by one, and after paying huge casualties, they miraculously recaptured the position.
Even so, by about 5 p.m., the entire line of defense was crumbling.
The artillery ran out of ammunition and was completely muted.
This made the Mauryan Dynasty see the hope of breaking the city, but time was not on their side, and soon, night fell again, stopping this fierce battle.
Despite this, the Peacock King was still happy.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow we must take Naiga City!" The Peacock King was both excited and eager, seeing that a third of the time of the national war had passed, he couldn't wait.
Fortunately, as long as one city is captured, a chain reaction can be formed and the results of the battle can be quickly expanded.
In the past two days, the Long Xiang army did not go out of the city to drown, and continued to be a "shrinking turtle", so that the Peacock King could attack Naiga City with peace of mind.
Because the wilderness has been full of the eyes of the Peacock Dynasty, once the Long Xiang army goes out of the city, the Peacock King will be able to know about it immediately, eliminating the possibility of a sneak attack by the Long Xiang army.
If the nearby Longxiang army dares to go out of the city to reinforce, it will only kill itself.
But on this night, things changed.
…………
Nega City, the head of the city.
In the night, Xiao Chaogui, accompanied by his personal guards, came to the city wall to inspect the patrol duty.
Looking at the enemy camp outside the city, the faint lights, Xiao Chaogui's expression was complicated, after paying more than 15,000 sacrifices, the Fifth Army finally completed the task assigned by the command.
"Tomorrow, it's time for reinforcements, right?" Xiao Chaogui looked into the distance.
Although Great Xia does not have a second army in this region, and the mention of reinforcements is suspicious, Xiao Chaogui still trusts the commander very much, and will never talk about white teeth.
"Perhaps, the king is going to summon the forbidden army of the royal city."
As a senior general in the army, Xiao Chaogui still has some understanding of this matter.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chaogui was full of energy, the Fifth Army had been suppressed for two days, and it was time to fight back heartily. Otherwise, it's too embarrassing.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
…………
At the same time, the wilderness, a monster's lair.
The nest is only fifteen kilometers away from the garrison of the Mauryan Dynasty, and the monsters that have emerged sporadically have all been solved by the scouts of the Mauryan Dynasty, and there has been no so-called beast tide.
In fact, even five days ago, there was a Great Xia scout who quietly lurked near the monster's lair, waiting, waiting for the arrival of the beast tide.
The hard work paid off, and after five days of waiting, things finally took a turn for the better.
In the early morning of the 11th, the nest, which had been peaceful, suddenly emitted billowing black smoke, which was a precursor to the outbreak of the beast tide. Black smoke rose into the air, enough to be more than 30 meters high, indicating that this was a big beast tide.
This kind of anomaly immediately attracted the attention of the Great Xia scouts.
"Quick, wake up, the beast tide is coming!" The soldiers on the night vigil hurriedly woke up their companions.
The captain woke up at the first time, his spirits were lifted, he looked up at the black smoke in the distance, and showed an ecstatic expression, "God really help us, this is an unprecedented beast tide." ”
"Quick, notify Command immediately!"
As he spoke, the captain solemnly took out a talisman, which was the [Soul Attraction Talisman] sent by Bai Qi, and the talisman only needed to be used within five miles of the lair to take effect.
Otherwise, no one would dare to use it.
In Bai Qi's arrangement, the beast tide can only be regarded as a miracle soldier because of the uncertainty of time, and even Bai Qi doesn't know how effective this talisman can be.
If there is no beast tide today, Ouyang Shuo will summon the forbidden army of the royal city to rescue Naiga City. But on the contrary, the beast tide appeared on the last night, and it can only be said that luck is really on the side of Great Xia.
It was no wonder that the captain was ecstatic, he knew too well how timely this beast tide came, and without a trace of hesitation, the captain tore open the [Soul Attraction Talisman].
"Brushed", only to see the talisman turn into a white light, like lightning, throwing towards the black smoke in the distance, and the message came. As soon as the white light sank into the black smoke, it was like a catalyst, but when I saw the black pillar that was already steaming, like divine help, it "rubbed" and instantly became higher and thicker.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a three-hundred-meter-high Optimus Pillar.
When the scouts saw it, they couldn't close their mouths in surprise, even if they were far away, they could feel that the fierce killing intent and the roar of the beast emitted by the black pillar made people's scalps tingle.
"Oh my God, how many monsters are there?"
As scouts, they have been active in the wilderness all year round, and are no strangers to monster lairs, but they have never seen black smoke more than fifty meters high.
The three-hundred-meter-high black smoke is scary to think about.
Soon, the black smoke cleared like the wind, revealing a monster with a hideous face.
From a distance, there were no less than thirty pterosaur beasts hovering in the air alone, and the entire monster lair had been flooded by the beast tide, and there was not a single living thing.
"Quick, fire flares!"
The captain resisted his fear and quickly gave the order.
"No!"
In an instant, several flares rose into the air, piercing the dark night sky.
The beast tide that had just appeared, just when they were worried that they were not attacking the target, they saw the signal flares that rose into the air, and they rushed towards it as if they were seeing their prey.
Far away, you can hear the vibration of the beast tide running, like the earth shaking the mountains.
"Get on the horse!"
Without the captain's orders, the scouts quickly mounted their horses and quickly withdrew, looking at the direction of their evacuation, it was the location of the camp of the Mauryan army.
This is called "Misfortune Leads to the East".
In order to keep the tide from losing its target, the Scout must fire several flares at regular intervals, which act as beacons to guide the herd by the nose.
During this period, they also encountered the night scouts of the Mauryan Dynasty, but in the face of the vast beast tide, these scouts were like waves, quickly dissipating without a ripple.
The earth-shattering running and roaring of the beasts broke the darkness of the night.
In less than two hours, the beast tide came to the vicinity of the Mauryan army's camp, and was finally noticed by the patrol troops on the periphery, and they hurriedly warned the camp.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
At this time, the camp was quiet without a single noise, and it was the time when the soldiers were most asleep, and even the soldiers on patrol yawned for the rest of the night, ready to survive the last dark night before dawn.
When the alarm sounded, the barracks exploded in one fell swoop.
In this case, if you don't handle it well, let alone arrive at the monster attack, I'm afraid that there will be an immediate danger of bombing the camp.
This is by no means alarmist.
The barracks are an authentic place of slaughter, and the traditional Chinese military regulations have the so-called "17 articles and 54 beheadings", and those who serve as soldiers live in fear, and the mental depression can be imagined after years of suffering.
In addition, the army is strictly hierarchical and closed-management, and only the officers are abusive and the soldiers are ignorant to command, and they rely on military discipline on weekdays. Before the war, everyone was uncertain about their life and death, and they didn't know if they would be able to come back alive tomorrow, and everyone was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
At this time, as long as there is a little wind and grass, it may be just a soldier's nightmare scream, which can detonate the hysterical and crazy atmosphere in the battalion, and the soldiers are completely free from the shackles of military discipline, and some people copy the guys to take revenge and revenge, hunt down and kill officers, enemies, and comrades they don't know, leaving only corpses in one place the next day.
The army of the Mauryan Empire, under the pressure of the Peacock King's bullets, the military discipline was already strict and perverted, and the soldiers were highly nervous; Coupled with the two-day siege and heavy losses, this tension was even greater.
Especially the Wangcheng Forbidden Army that was summoned, in the past two days, they have been constantly used as cannon fodder, but they are helpless, from the generals to the ordinary soldiers, they are full of resentment towards the Peacock Dynasty.
Resentment rises to heaven.
What is even more coincidental is that with the end of the daytime battle, it is clear to everyone that the city will be breached tomorrow, and in such a situation, the sergeant's mood suddenly changed from high tension to sudden relaxation.
Therefore, this night, the soldiers slept very sweetly.
It was in this situation that the peripheral patrol force suddenly gave an early warning, which made the camp chaotic in an instant, and the eyes of the soldiers who were awakened suddenly turned red.
The first to be bombed was the camp of the Janissaries of the Royal City.
First, a certain camp was angry, complaining about which bastard, and actually sounded the alarm at this time. I don't know who shouted a sentence to teach the Mauryan army a lesson.
The speaker has no intention, and the responder gathers.
Almost instantly, a large number of soldiers responded, and it quickly expanded from one battalion to two, four, and ten battalions......
The resentment spread like a virus through the camp.
In the blink of an eye, the whole army screamed, like crazy, and slaughtered the nearby Mauryan army camp. The soldiers of the Mauryan Empire did not know what was happening, when they saw someone killing.
Without saying a word, the two troops fought together.
The whole camp was in chaos in an instant, no one could sort out the context, and those generals who tried to stand up to maintain order were hacked by the soldiers, and they died one by one.
At this moment, a terrifying beast tide suddenly arrived.
This was a devastating disaster for the Mauryan army.
Seeing the pterodactyl beasts hovering in the air, the tyrannosaurus beasts like high-rise buildings, countless dragon hunters, horned dragon beasts, and some unknown monsters, the soldiers had numb scalps and instantly sobered up.
"Oh my God, where did you get so many monsters?"
The soldiers were dumbfounded, looking around, there was no end in sight to the beast tide, and a rough estimate was at least 10,000, or even more.
They wanted to organize and defend themselves against the enemy, but it was too late.
The sudden bombing of the camp instantly made a mess of the camp, the corpses were scattered all over the place, and the soldiers' eyes were red, some were really crazy, and some pretended to be crazy.
No matter who it is, in the face of such a beast tide, it seems a little powerless.
"Run!"
After the surprise, this was the knee-jerk reaction of the soldiers. Since they can't beat it, they can only resign themselves to fate, and the surviving soldiers are like a plate of scattered sand, scattering and fleeing, disappearing into the vast night.
Unfortunately, they chose the wrong opponent.
If it is a normal battle between the two armies, if they escape like this, by the night, a large number of people will indeed escape, and then slowly gather together, they can still save some living forces.
But now it's a monster.
They march in the dark, basically the same as during the day, and the countless "food" in the camp makes this group of monsters fierce, and they can track down one prey after another just by smell.
In the dark night, the mountains and wilderness are full of hunting scenes, and what makes people's scalps tingle is that the hunter is a monster, and the prey is a person.
The mournful screams pierced the night sky.
This was the worst beast tide attack in the history of the wilderness, and under the attack of tens of thousands of monsters, the Mauryan army suffered heavy losses.
In one night, there are no three out of ten.
In the two-day siege, the 450,000 army only lost more than 50,000 people, but in just one night, the remaining 400,000 troops were eaten by monsters.
Even if it was dawn, this nightmare was not over.
Whether it was the beast herd or the army of the Mauryan Empire, after a night of chasing battles, they all suffered heavy casualties, and they were all completely scattered, and it was almost impossible to find a formed team, scattered in the vast wilderness.
The dawn only exacerbated the fear.
Monsters are not afraid, their purpose is to constantly search for new "food", even if only the last one is left, they will never give up hunting.
The only way to survive is to wipe out the herd.
This is a cruel battlefield where only one can survive, no one is the real winner, the real big winner is the dragon army hiding in the city.
