Chapter 57: Repulsion
Although Rand avoided the Red Hawk's surprise attack with the help of Iron Fist, the rest of the soldiers were not so lucky.
"Help me! my arm has been torn open!" one of the soldiers in charge of the ballista fell to the ground and screamed.
"Hurry! His blood is draining!"
"Red Hawk's claws are sharp, watch out for unprotected positions!" Iron Fist, as the commander of the soldiers defending the city, calmly commanded the soldiers to replace the wounded and send them to treatment in time.
The vacant positions were quickly refilled, and after a simple bandaging to stop the bleeding, the wounded were rushed off the battlefield.
Rand looked up at the sky, where seven red eagles were hovering above the walls of Cabintown.
"Their combat effectiveness has increased very much, and they actually know how to fight on the ground and in the air!" Touron also drew the scimitar he carried with him, his old profession was a soldier, although the leg injury had reduced his combat strength, he was still a fighter with strong combat experience.
At the behest of the fused creatures, the beasts launched a new attack, they bypassed the range of the stake, relying on their agility to pass through the gap in the stake, and as they approached the wall, several sturdy wolves jumped up, and the red eagle hovering in the sky quickly fell, a pair of sharp claws grabbed the wolf's back fur, flapped its wings and carried it into the air.
Seeing this scene, Rand couldn't help but have an ominous premonition, is this going to play the gods from the sky?
You're just a bunch of beasts, shouldn't your combat consciousness be so advanced!
Less than five meters above the city walls, the Red Eagle released its claws and let the wolves land on the top of the city.
Iron Fist was obviously shocked by the innovative tactics of the beasts, but he had not lost his mind, he knew that this was not the time to be in a daze, and the soldiers had already raised their spears in their hands and aimed them at the wolves that were about to land before he could give orders.
"Ready, stab!"
Although the soldiers reacted quickly, their bodies were not running as fast as their brains, and by the time they raised their spears, two wild wolves had already landed on the wall.
One of them landed right next to Touron, and before the beast could get used to it, Touron rode directly on its back in two steps, and smashed the heavy back of the knife into the junction of its neck, this beast's fur was so thick that it might not be able to inflict a fatal injury with a blade.
The wolf was stunned, but he shook his head and came to his senses, it was huge, standing up to a full two meters, Touron couldn't suppress it at all, and it showed its fangs directly after standing firm.
But Iron Fist's knife had been prepared for a long time, and the cold blade stabbed directly into its throat, and the wolf fell to the ground with convulsions.
"See, find its weakness like this!"
By the time all six wolves landed on the city walls, the soldiers had already stood back to back with their spears in unison, as they had been trained to do.
"Everyone, don't panic!" Rand shouted loudly, "Stay in formation!"
In order to deal with the beast tide, Rand specially recruited experienced old hunters to train the soldiers on the knowledge of beasts, what they will do before attacking, as well as their strengths and weaknesses, and which parts of the blow can be fatal.
"Ballista, give me the enemy to keep an eye on the sky!"
The wolves roared and attacked the soldiers.
......
After ten minutes of fierce fighting, all seven wolves died on the walls, and Rand paid the price for the serious wounding of one of his soldiers, and the remaining beasts were slain one by one under the blows of the ballista, and the iron fist leaned against the wall and gasped, this sudden battle drained all his strength.
If it was just wild wolves this time, it would be completely impossible for them to climb the city wall and kill and injure personnel, the key is those red eagles, Rand hated his teeth, and he didn't expect that the other party actually had an air force.
As for the performance of the soldiers in this battle, Rand was still very satisfied, with a quick response and strong execution, and the most important thing is that no one flinched from the battle.
When the wolf's corpse was carried off the wall, calm was restored to the city wall again, and the corpses of the beasts were also one of the important resources, their corpses could provide meat and fur for the empty collar, and if this winter went well, Rand was likely to make a small fortune with the help of the beast tide.
Rand was silently summarizing the battle in his mind, when he suddenly realized that the most important point had been forgotten by himself, patted his head in annoyance, and quickly stood up and looked out of the city wall.
There was a bloody color in sight, and many beast corpses had fallen under the city walls, and a hundred meters away, the commander of the beast herd was slowly preparing to leave quietly.
Do you want to run if you pretend to be forced?
This kind of plot can only happen in fairy tales!
This thing must not be allowed to escape, Rand has made up his mind, he must dissect it to see what is inside its body, what does it rely on to support its bodily functions, and what does it rely on to drive the herd? If he can understand its internal secrets, Rand will be able to completely solve the threat of the beast tide.
Snow is now in the Sky Realm, as Orc's mentor and fellow Dark Council, Rand doesn't believe he hasn't heard anything about the research of the Right Court.
At this moment, there was a light snow in the sky again, the north wind began to blow recklessly, and the alien slowly squirmed towards the depths of the snow, the slow speed was its shortcoming, if it was given a little more time, it might really let it escape.
"Give me an armor-piercing arrow!" Rand decided to snipe the alien, he didn't dare to let the soldiers chase it out and intercept it, under the snow, who knows how many dangers are hidden, in case the beasts are ambushed in this vicinity, the soldiers chase them out, all it takes is an order from the alien, and the soldiers will be besieged outside the city walls.
The long-range sniper is also very good, and its maximum range is enough to reach 600 meters, which is enough to compete with the famous Type 98 sniper rifle.
Rand placed the arrow in the slot, which was not the right weather for archery, but Rand was confident that as the researcher and builder of the weapon, he was the one who knew best how accurate it was, and by mobilizing the rudimentary sight marked with a scale, Rand aimed the ballista at the alien that was gradually moving away.
"My lord, this distance is too far!" Iron Fist visually surveyed the specific location of the alien, "more than four hundred paces, even the best hunter will not be able to hit the target at this distance." ”
"People with poor eyesight can't even lock on to the specific location of the target!"
Rand ignored Iron Fist's reminder, in fact, when aiming, the operator could not make the slightest big move, Rand even slowed down his breathing, he stretched out his finger to test the wind speed, and then adjusted the angle on the crossbow machine slightly to the upper left corner by a few millimeters.
"Duh!"
The arrow burst through the air, creating a perfect arc in the air.
In the heavy snow, the alien who had gone away fell to the ground as if it had been struck by lightning.
"It seems that my eyesight is not bad. Rand shrugged, "Tell someone to drag it back." ”
