Faced with a scorpion as huge as a house, we were helpless. But an old ghost named Pulsatilla in the honeycomb came up with a fatal idea, that is, to climb on the back of the scorpion to make a hole and drill directly through its brain!

"Lu Dian, Xiao Zhai and Xiao Ma, the three of you go up!" Long Xiaoyan immediately made a decision and ordered the three team members with shields on our side. My shield is indeed hard enough, Lu Dian's stele is fresh, also thick and hard, and the other pony is a dart master of the Teng family, who also holds a heavy shield.

Pulsatilla also ordered three of his subordinates, all of whom are also ghost cultivators with shields, and we are the death squad that will die on the back of the scorpion. The rest of the people continued to lay siege to the giant scorpion to attract its attention.

The front of the giant scorpion is two giant pincer-like chelicerae, with six feet on the left and right sides, and a long tail pin on the tail, only the back of it has no attack power. So a few of us daredevils jumped on the tail of the giant scorpion and climbed onto its back from behind.

The giant scorpion also immediately sensed something strange on its back and wanted to sweep us off with its tail. But its tail is too long, and there is always a big arc that can't be turned back when it bends forward, so the area near its tail is a dead end that can't be attacked, but it's relatively safe.

However, where we have to start is at the junction of the head and shoulders of the giant scorpion, and we have to go a little further. Pulsatilla laid out a few of us tactics and stepped out together. Except for Pulsatilla, who was in charge of drilling holes with a T-shaped crutch, the remaining six daredevils all held their shields high to form a shield array to protect Pulsatilla.

The pulsatilla found the right angle and poked hard, and then inserted the crutch into a gap between the head and shoulders of the giant scorpion. There was no hard shell, but relatively soft tendons, and the pulsatilla grabbed the tip of the T-shaped cane and twisted it vigorously to drill the hole.

The vital part of the giant scorpion was drilled into a foreign body, and it naturally felt the deadly threat, and immediately became more violent. It violently attacked our shield array with its tail pin, but it was continuously blocked, and it couldn't help us for a while.

The Pulsatilla's T-turn had already gone a foot down, and the giant scorpion felt the sharp pain, and spun around like crazy again, trying to throw us off. The back of the scorpion is all hard shells, smooth and uneven, and several of us in the shield array can't stand steadily, one by one, and the shield array is self-defeating.

"Ahh

The pony's shield is the largest and heaviest, and it is even more difficult for him to hold it above his head if he can't stand on his feet. The giant scorpion's poisonous needle saw this opportunity and hit the nail on the head, poking the pony through the heart!

The other daredevils on the scorpion's back gasped. But Pulsatilla still didn't give up, shouting, "Don't mess around! Regroup! ”

His shouts also aroused our fighting spirit, and we ran back to line up again. This time, everyone learned to be obedient, and while raising their shields, they also grabbed each other to form a whole, so that it was not easy to be thrown out.

But the drilling action of the pulsatilla is becoming more and more difficult. His T-turn had already been two feet in, but it was hard to get into it again. The giant scorpion tilted its head desperately, squeezing its head and shoulders together, and also stuck the T-shaped crutch in half.

"The stupid big guy with the stele! Come here! Pulsatilla had no choice but to give up, and then shouted at Lu Dian, "The remaining four continue to form a formation!" ”

Lu Dian left us and ran to Pulsatilla and asked him what he was going to do.

Pulsatilla immediately made a decision, pointed to the T-shaped turn and said, "Smash it with your stone stele!" Now this crutch can't get in, so you can only use it! ”

Lu Dian suddenly understood, and when he held up the stone stele, he slammed it into the T-shaped turn.

"Ding!"

Sure enough, when Lu Dian knocked him like this, the T-shaped turn went down two inches. The giant scorpion was stung again by this blow, and became more and more frenzied, and the tail needle kept stung us, but they were all blocked by the shield array.

"Knock again!" Pulsatilla shouted in command.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

Every time the big stupid cow Lu Dian struck, the T-shaped turn went down two inches, and the giant scorpion screamed. It's just that its screams are not high-pitched, but rustling, like the friction of sandpaper.

"Ding!"

When the T-shaped crutch was completely knocked into the head of the giant scorpion by Lu Dian, leaving only one cane head outside, the giant scorpion finally stopped, lying on the ground motionless, and its long tail also fell down and dragged to the ground.

"Well done!"

"You're all good!"

The Ground Honeycomb gang and the Teng family's militia cheered happily. Just to deal with such a giant scorpion, we paid the price of dozens of defenders. This is not bad, the other two giant scorpions caused even more damage, they are simply unstoppable, breaking into the formation to harvest human lives and ghosts like harvesting crops. In the end, it was the deputy city lord Yin Fa who led the team to end their lives.

After killing seven waves in a row, more than half of the original 10,000 troops on the first line of defense have been lost, and most of the remaining defenders have been exhausted. But the monster cry of the eighth wave of Ze Chao came from the front again, judging by the previous situation, Ze Chao is stronger than one wave, and the monsters that rushed over this time must be more ferocious!

At this time, someone in the military formation finally couldn't bear it, and shouted in tears: "Deputy City Lord Yin!" Let's retreat, if we don't retreat, it's too late! ”

Yin Fa turned his head angrily, and suddenly grabbed the sword in the hand of a ghost slave beside him and threw it violently.

"Ahh

The Yin cultivator who had just spoken out to persuade him to retreat was actually pierced through his chest by the sword thrown by Yin Fa, and he fell to the ground and died. When the other defenders saw this, they were all taken aback, and they all looked at Yin Fa blankly.

Yin Fa looked around coldly, and said sharply: "Whether to retreat or not, it's up to me to decide when to retreat!" If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, kill! ”

As soon as he became so powerful, everyone was awe-struck, and the war-weariness that had just sprung up was immediately suppressed, so they had to continue to fight against the next wave of Ze tide.

But, with us ragtag armies that were originally improvised patchwork, it was a miracle that we were able to resist for so long. Casualties are also growing as morale and physical strength are not replenished. Our squad lost two-thirds of its men, and Bird Meat had its left foot cut off by a giant praying mantis during a battle!

I hurried over and took out a rope from my backpack and tied it tightly at the base of his broken leg, trying to stop the bleeding. But the bird meat still fell to the ground and screamed miserably, bleeding like an infusion, if he was not treated in time, I am afraid that he would not even be able to save his life!

At this time, it was already the ninth wave of Ze tide. After barely repelling this wave, the original 10,000 troops on the first line of defense were reduced to less than 3,000, and most of them were wounded. Obviously, if we don't retreat, we will all be reduced to a feast in the mouths of monsters in the next wave of floods.

No matter how stubborn Yin Fa is, he has to face the reality, because even he himself is covered in blood and exhausted. I saw him grit his teeth fiercely, waved his hand back with a dark face, and finally gave an order: "Return to the city!" ”

A few of us were relieved, and quickly picked up the bird meat and ran back. At this time, they couldn't care about maintaining any formation and image, and everyone and the ghost were desperately running back, because the next wave of Zechao's monster roar had already sounded behind him, and it would be too late to run faster.

As I ran into the outpost, I saw that the second line of defense had been arranged. A row of improvised fences connected several outposts, while several makeshift turrets were erected behind them. Thousands of archers stood in the first row, apparently intending to rain arrows first.

However, the archers will retreat after shooting their arrows and continue to be used as long-range protection, with the real main force in the second row. The strength of this defense line is composed of half of the city guards and the gangs of the two big ghost gangs of Hungry Ghost Pit and Skull Mountain, with more than 20,000 troops. And the other deputy city lord Leng Yuankui was in charge of commanding this second line of defense.

When I was passing through the defensive formation, I even saw the burly figures of Skeletron and the Abyss Swallowing Ghost, but I didn't expect that the leaders of these two ghost gangs would also personally lead the team out to fight. It can be seen that Zuoqiu City is actually betting on the second line of defense, and almost all the elite troops are deployed here. If even they can't defend it, they can only defend Zemen and resign themselves to fate!

Those of us who had been wounded from the first line of defense went straight back to rest behind Zemen. The remaining labor force in the city was not idle, and was organized to support the front. Most of them were civilians with little combat effectiveness, so they were only responsible for feeding and caring for the wounded.

The bird meat was eventually carried to the Longevity Hotel, where the Teng family had temporarily converted into a "field hospital", and several team doctors in the caravan originally served as military doctors. The shopkeeper Teng Shuli said to me: "Don't worry! We'll take care of him, so go get some food and rest! ”

Hearing this, Long Xiaoyan and I and the others felt a sense of detachment at this time. Just now we actually fought for three hours in a row, and it was all about willpower and courage to persevere. Then a few of us had a brief bite to eat, and then we found a place to lie down and rest.

But after squinting for a while, we were woken up by the people of the Yin Division, and they were actually here to recruit soldiers again!

The people from the Yin Division told us that all the young men who could be sent to the battlefield were sent out, but the front line was still very tight. Among those of us who have retreated, the seriously injured continue to be treated, while the lightly injured have to be reassembled and assigned to guard the Zemen after they have been bandaged.

Liu Yuxin was very angry and wanted to refuse this unreasonable request. However, the people of the Yin Affairs Department called the city guards who stayed behind to maintain order and forcibly recruited troops, and we did not dare to openly resist, so we had no choice but to go with them again.

Before leaving, we went to check on the bird's meat. Under the emergency treatment of several doctors, the bleeding from the broken leg finally stopped, and the wound was bandaged. But his face was very pale and weak, and he was in a coma, and his life and death were still uncertain.
