Chapter 229: The Final Battle (2)
The Destroyers were bewildered by the droppings for a moment, but quickly adjusted at the command of the Destroyer commander, and began to climb the trenches, attempting to directly attack the walls behind the protective net.
The trench and the city wall were separated by protective nets, which were fixed by tying wooden wedges or fixing them to stones with ant glue, etc., to cover the entire [Qingqiu Castle] ant mound hills.
It was a miracle that this protective net was built in just a few days, but it didn't protect [Qingqiu City] for long.
The holes in the netting were too small for the Destroyers to get into, so they began to bite at the nets, and the ballistas continued to fire, making the Destroyers crowded in front of the nets an excellent target.
Behind the protective nets, the defenders on the walls also continued to attack with slings or fire bombs, and they were not worried about igniting the protective nets, which were being destroyed at a rapid pace.
When the Destroyer was so numerous, the tough rope woven from a mixture of hemp fibers, ant silk, and other plant fibers couldn't hold out for long under the jaws.
The tipping point was soon reached, and the nets were quickly crumbling, many of the ropes being snapped off little by little, and more from the wooden wedges as the Destroyers kept shaking the ropes.
The wooden wedges tied to these protective nets are fixed in the ground by ant concrete pouring, and the wooden wedges are very strong, but the ants are too simple to tie them, causing many of the net ropes to slip off.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the netting had lost its original function, and there were breaches everywhere, and hordes of destroyers began to pour in from the breach.
Five legions formed a line of defense on the walls, and soon fought with the Destroyers. The main function of this line of defense is to temporarily contain the enemy on the city walls and buy time for the defenders behind.
But this thin line of defense was bound to not be able to withstand the evil tide of the Destroyer for too long, and now that the Destroyer was on the side of the Destroyer, the walls did not provide much protection, and the Destroyer had the advantage in melee combat like heavy armored giants, and a large number of Divine King warriors died quickly in the melee melee.
The ballista in the rear continued to fire several rapid fires, stopping the attack at the command of the protagonist. The ballista squad quickly disassembled the ballista, then carried the accessories, and retreated underground from the nearest entrance and exit, turning to the second line of defense.
The protagonist knows that the ground defense line can no longer be held, which is much faster than he expected, and he was optimistic that he could hold on to the ground for a day or two! Unexpectedly, in less than half a day, he was forced to retreat underground.
The Destroyer had broken through the walls, and while there were still some parts of the walls still resisting, the enemy had begun to attack from several entrances and exits at the base of the hill, and more enemies were climbing the hill.
There are also scattered squads of big-headed ants or scythes on the hills of the anthill, which rely on the terrain to resist or flexibly harass the enemy, buying time for the evacuation of the ballista troops.
However, the Destroyers climb very quickly, and the protagonist sees them quickly approaching the top of the mountain, gradually approaching the entrance to the sacred passage where the protagonist is located.
The protagonist sighs and looks at the sky, and it will be many days before he can't see the sky!
Time does not allow him to be hypocritical, the protagonist turns around, lifts a boulder the size of a ping-pong ball, and even the destroyer is difficult to shake, burrows his body into the entrance, and then blocks the passage with a boulder.
The protagonist follows the long passage back to the depths of the underground [Qingqiu City], and his body is submerged in darkness.
- I'm the dividing line -
In just half a day, the defensive battle of [Qingqiu City] was turned underground.
As a large-scale main nest, [Qingqiu City] originally had a large number of entrances and exits, and there were dozens at most.
Today, most of the entrances and exits have been filled, but nine necessary entrances and exits remain, otherwise it would be difficult to accommodate traffic in all directions.
The Destroyers followed these passages into the ground, where they were met with resistance from the defenders. The god of the defense makes the king warriors rely entirely on sacrifice and flesh and blood to buy time.
In the path of the Destroyer's advance, the stumps and blood of the Divine King's warriors were scattered everywhere.
They are all cannon fodder who are not equipped with bronze weapons, and they don't even have gravel jaws, and some of them were temporarily pulled into the legion two days ago, and today they have sacrificed everything in the tragic battle.
The protagonist is ruthless to let these cannon fodder troops block the front to buy time, so that the retreating ballistae can rush back to the designated area to deploy. And the elite troops at his hand are still quietly lying behind, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack or when they need to be gaged.
The eyes of the dead god envoy Wang soldiers were full of raging anger and strong fighting intent, and they held their own defense line as if they were dead, just like the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who tied themselves to the rejection of horses and swore to the death when facing the Jurchen iron horsemen, heroic and tragic.
Their sacrifice paid off, and when the Destroyers managed to break through the interception and reach the preset battlefield nest, a bolt of ballistas awaited them.
The two ballistas took turns firing at the narrow nest, and soon the destroyer who rushed in left a trail of corpses that even blocked the road.
Before, in [Bridgehead], it was such an underground defense line that held back the Destroyer for many days. Now, the Destroyers can't break through here with their flesh and blood alone.
The protagonist previously looked out on the ground and found that the white-bellied destroyer has not yet appeared among the enemies besieging [Qingqiu Castle]. The enemy can't destroy the defensive structure of [Qingqiu Castle] with self-explosion, so they can only fill it with their lives.
The battle lasted for the night, and the sun had completely set, and the Destroyer reluctantly withdrew, and the Divine Messenger King warriors took the opportunity to launch a wave of counterattacks, taking advantage of the enemy's huge body and the weakness of not being able to turn around in the passage, killing some of the Destroyers.
In today's underground battle, the first ballista line of defense behind the nine entrances and exits killed and wounded a large number of enemies, and only one ballista defense line was deceived by the enemy because of the broken bowstring.
The warriors of the Divine Messenger King immediately leaned in, resisted the enemy to the death, let the ballista retreat to the second line of defense and repaired it, and continued to shoot, blocking the enemy's attack.
- I'm the dividing line -
At night, the protagonist stares indifferently at today's casualty figures.
In just one day, the defenders had lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and although most of them were cannon fodder troops, the casualties were also very heavy.
Most casualties were inflicted during the walls against the Destroyer, and many were brought in underground street battles to cover ballista troops.
The ballista is currently the only weapon that can cause a lot of damage to the Divine Envoy King's warriors, but it is also a fragile weapon that requires a large number of warriors to protect with their lives!
