Successive horns sounded in the direction of the fortress wall, and with the fierce sound of horns, the spirits of all the soldiers of the entire Kongdu Territory tensed, and a hoarse voice sounded on the city wall: "They are coming, hurry to their posts, take up arms, take up weapons!"

All the soldiers in the city walls moved quickly, although there were many people, but there was no congestion and panic, thanks to regular training, both new recruits and veterans, tightened their leather armor as quickly as possible, made sure that their vital parts were wrapped under armor, and picked up the spears in their hands and climbed the fortress wall according to the rehearsal method.

Thirty veterans were in charge of the crossbows, and two musketeers were in charge of guarding the crossbowmen's safety, and due to the time constraints, the flintlock spears made twelve that were equipped in the ranks, and these forces were still a little weak in the face of the wild beasts that filled the mountains.

"Whew......"

Before Rand could get close to the fortress wall, he heard the wolf cry coming from outside the wall.

The guards who passed by them did not bother to salute the rand at this time, and they carried the wooden boxes containing * to the city wall, and the pitch-black bullets reflected a reassuring light in the light of the fire.

Although he was mentally prepared, when Rand climbed the city wall and looked into the distance, he still felt his scalp tingle and his hands and feet were a little cold.

Under the light of the white moonlight, a black shadow was approaching the air collar at an extremely terrifying speed, and Rand could even feel the ground trembling, the flying snow turning into debris under their claws, and countless pairs of turquoise eyes were particularly permeable in the dark night.

"There are more than four hundred!wolves, bears, bison!" Payne had already stood at the head of the city commanding the soldiers, and in the dense herd, he even saw a rare devil-toothed tiger.

Rand observed for a moment and found that it was the bison and the alpaca that were responsible for leading the way with strong defense and impact, while the left wing of the herd was the swift wolf, followed by the most lethal tigers and bears and other fierce beasts.

The beasts actually know how to use tactics and formations like humans, and the huge group is not half chaotic, although their individuals are large and small, and their speed is also fast and slow, but they are obviously maintaining a unified speed to prevent the phenomenon of insufficient strength of a single person.

It seems that in this beast tide, there must be a "commander" like last time.

Versailles felt that his back was wet with cold sweat, his underwear was wet against his skin, and the hand holding the fire gun involuntarily added a little more force.

The stacks of firewood at the entrance of the city walls were also lit, and there was light in front of the fortress walls.

The bowstring was pulled apart, and the sound of tension continued to ring in the ears, followed by the crisp sound of arrows making contact.

"Reloaded!"

"Reloaded!"

"Reload ......"

Similar reports rang out over the city walls, and on the other side, the soldiers in charge of the two improvised catapults also put * in the projectile baskets, lit the arquebuses, ready to deal a fatal blow to the incoming enemy troops.

"Don't be nervous, this will slow down your muscles!" Rant, noticing Vansai's condition, patted him on the shoulder, "Take a deep breath." ”

At such a critical juncture, the lord could still notice me, a warm current surged in the heart of Versailles, remembering that he had killed many wild beasts since the beginning of winter, he slowly expelled the fear in his heart, and tried to keep his body upright and on alert.

The recruits could have been exempt from combat missions, but Versailles felt ashamed of himself as a captain and hiding behind the veterans, so he volunteered to take on the role of ballista guard.

The beasts were getting closer and closer to the fortress walls, and Versailles could almost see the hot breath coming out of their fanged mouths.

At the forefront were seven or eight alpacas and bison with thick horns, their rough skin and thick flesh were the most suitable for being vanguards, and their hair was thick and dense enough to defend against ordinary swords, and when they were still forty feet away from the stake, they chose to speed up.

With a loud bang and roar, the bison led by a wild bull crashed into the horse rejection stake buried deep in the foundation and the ground, and the huge inertia and speed made the sharp wooden stake knife on the horse rejection pile pierce the bison's body almost instantly.

Blood splattered!

The speed of the beast's impact stopped.

However, before the soldiers could shout, the remaining bison and alpaca slammed side by side on the horse-repelling stakes with a total length of fifteen meters, and the impact caused the stakes to break with an overwhelming sound, and several thinner stakes were broken, losing their threat to the herd.

The wolves on the left flank stepped on the corpses of their companions and leaped over the stakes and swooped towards the gates.

"Ballista, muskets!

With the roar of the Iron Fist in his ears, Vexles subconsciously aimed the fire gun in his hand at the wolves, but another companion pulled him, and Vexles realized that his weapon was not responsible for sniping from a distance.

For his mishearing of the slogan, Van Sailes felt a little ashamed, unlike training, actual combat requires greater psychological pressure, and making mistakes is the only way for every recruit.

"Duh!" was the vibration of the bowstring.

"Boom!" the muskets roared.

The first dozen or so wolves to attack suffered casualties of varying degrees almost instantly, and at such close range, the crossbowmen and musketeers had little difficulty aiming at them.

"Stay in formation, reload your ammo!"

There is a vacuum period of about ten seconds for a round of ballista and musket fire, during which time the musketeers and spearmen are responsible for bombarding the beasts that try to climb the walls.

The walls of the fortress are not smooth after the passage of time and the wind and rain, and the nimble beasts can use their claws and incredible bounce to climb the walls.

Three leopards leapfrogged over the wolves and swooped down the walls, having a natural advantage of climbing, and quickly approached the city with the help of holes and gaps in the walls.

"Skirmish! Ready!" heard the roar of the iron fist in his ears, and Versailles tightened his body, knowing that it was his turn to make a move at this time, although the position where the leopard climbed did not belong to his area of responsibility, he still raised the fire gun in his hand.

The veterans are clearly more experienced than Versailles.

Before the leopard could climb the city, a hammer smashed down the edge of the city wall, and the fire hammer rang out almost at the same time, due to the nervousness of the fire hammer, this blow did not directly hit the front of the leopard, the powerful shotgun only scratched its left side, and the hammer smashed directly into the opponent's waist with excellent accuracy.

Winter beasts tend to have a lot of fat on their bodies, which not only resists the cold, but also provides them with good defense.
