One hundred and sixty, the demon beast retreated
"Brother, let's go up! If you don't get up, you'll die!"
Lai Tianci's eyes were red as he looked at the soldiers on the city wall who had been shot to death by the spikes, and he couldn't help but rush up and fight them! Fortunately, there weren't many spikes left on the backs of those demon beasts after two rounds of firing. Otherwise, if there is another round, the walls will be emptied in one fell swoop.
"Wait a little longer, there are some situations that I haven't figured out yet. We only have 500 men, and although we have these weapons of mass destruction, after all, the number of people is too small to play a role in this entire line of defense. ”
Yang Ze constantly calmed everyone's emotions, and in these attacks, he found a strange problem. That's why these demon beasts of different races can be unified under command in this chaotic army.
Why were those monsters of the same kind able to assemble in such a short period of time and attack at the same time?
Whether it is a human or a monster, as long as it is an army, a pyramid management and command framework is indispensable. There is no doubt that these demon beasts can only be unified by receiving some kind of order. But that's across races, and the monsters all share the same language as humans.
Even if it is a human being, there are many different accents in different regions, let alone different races. It's like a person can understand the language of a kitten or a puppy. This is also something that Yang Ze has always been unable to understand.
It's actually very simple to turn defeat into victory, and most of those demon beasts are unenlightened. As long as their superiors are killed, the low-level demon beasts that have lost their command will definitely be scattered.
Yang Ze told Yun Mengchen around her about her thoughts and doubts, hoping to look at it from another angle and solve this problem.
"These demon beasts are obviously because of their low level, so they will obey the command of the high-level demon beasts. But there are many demon beasts of the same level at the same time in a kind of demon beast. The key is how to find the true commander from these monsters. ”
Yun Mengchen's point of view, Yang Ze can certainly understand, if he can find it, where do he need to learn from her.
"Human eyes can't tell the difference, but demon beasts may be able to. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes were staring at Chen Kan on the side.
"Fatty! You really wake up the dreamer with a word! I can't imagine that you are so smart, and you are still useful at the critical moment. ”
With a sigh, Yang Ze pulled Yun Mengchen and ran towards the place where Duanmuping was. The two hands, which had been clenched from the beginning, seemed to have forgotten that they could be separated.
"Duanmu Teach Practice! Quick! Call all the people from the Royal Beast Pavilion to me! Quick!"
Seeing that Yang Ze was shouting thoughtlessly as soon as he came, at this time, the people of the Imperial Beast Pavilion were desperately working in the sky!
Yang Ze stopped talking nonsense, he told Duanmu Ping all his analysis and coping methods. It's okay not to listen to this, but when I hear it, I almost scold my mother.
"As far as you're smart or not, I can't figure out the key to this. Do you think that those people in the Imperial Beast Pavilion are gods, and if your method is useful, I will send those people from the Imperial Beast Pavilion out? Do you think you can talk to dogs with a puppy?"
came in a hurry and left dejectedly.
"You already knew?"
Yun Mengchen nodded.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?
At this time, Yun Mengchen realized that his hand had been held tightly by Yang Ze all along. She quickly threw it away and looked up again at the battle on the walls.
After a large number of casualties, the human army also dispatched a large number of weapons to defend the city. Ballistae, which had long been installed at the head of the city, began their first roar.
The high-speed flying arrows are like rock sugar gourds, stringing the monsters into strings. A demon wolf had just jumped out of the herd and wanted to climb the city wall, but as soon as he jumped into the air, he was pierced by a huge arrow shaft that shot from him. Not only that, but the unabated arrows flew out with the corpse of the demon wolf continuously, and finally penetrated deeply into the body of a colorful tiger behind the demon beast army.
You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder. Although the monster's attack was slowed down by the huge power of the ballista, it also caused them many casualties.
But before the ballista could fire again, suddenly dozens of stones half a meter wide were thrown out of the demon beast army. The rocks that were thrown into the sky began to fall rapidly in a parabola. Although only a few pieces were able to reach the city wall, I don't know if it was a coincidence or bad luck, a ballista on the city wall was very unfortunate enough to be smashed by a stone.
"Fuck! These beasts are going against the sky! There is even such awesome equipment as trebuchets, so how can they fight!"
Yang Ze, who was squatting at the root of the wall again, saw this scene through the pumpkin eye, which made him even more pessimistic about this war. What the mortal army has, almost all those demon beasts have, and the mortal army that the demon beasts have can only be passively beaten. Besides, the number of people is less than half of them, and no matter how you think about it, you feel that this battle cannot be won.
Just after four or five rounds of demon beasts throwing stones, which were not accurate, the army of demon beasts under the city wall miraculously retreated. Although this result made many people puzzled, after all, it repelled the first round of attacks of the demon beasts, and it also gave the soldiers who had been fighting fiercely for several hours a chance to take a breather.
"Why did the demon beasts retreat? Obviously, they still have the upper hand, how can they say that they will retreat?"
Yang Ze calculated the time, and it was just three hours. Is the sustaining power of these demon beasts like this, or is there any other cat, Yang Ze is very cautious about this.
"Isn't it good to retreat? Do you still expect those demon beasts to continue to attack the city?"
Seeing Yang Ze frowning and meditating, Xu Danni on the side was very angry. Since she couldn't attack it, she would naturally have to retreat, she didn't understand why Yang Ze always had to think so complicated.
Coming in orderly, leaving chaotic. This demon beast army is not in a rout, why is it so unbearable when it retreats. Even, Yang Ze saw that the leopard that ran last when the demon beast retreated opened his mouth to bite a wild deer beside him!
"Hey, what's going on, why do monsters kill each other?"
Yang Ze remembered that when he attacked just now, these two demon beasts cooperated most tacitly. The monster beast that looked like a wild deer used the leopard as a stepping stone a few breaths ago to help the leopard climb the city wall, why did it fight on its own again now?
Since this was an individual phenomenon of demon beasts, Yang Ze didn't go to his heart anymore. Seeing that most of the demon beasts had retreated, Yang Ze hurriedly took everyone to the city wall to help deal with the wounded.
During the day, it was like a tentative battle of monsters, which caused a total of 30,000 casualties to the mortal army. Ten thousand of them died from the flying spikes, and more than 10,000 were wounded.
In just three hours, more than 10,000 lives were gone. Yang Ze couldn't help but gasp a few times after hearing this casualty figure.
The surprise of hearing the numbers was never as great as the shock of seeing the soldiers in person. The entire border wall was stained red with blood, and the shoes were sticky and chirping when they stepped on them.
The half of the intestines left behind after the corpse that was carried away in the corner made Xu Danyang vomit on the spot. The only remaining joy of the game has long been swept away by this pent-up mood.
"Brother, why don't you let us go? Maybe they won't die so much if we do!
Now those Qi Refining Stage disciples who had fought in the air now saw that several of us were full of disdain. Anyway, a few of us are immortal cultivators in the foundation building period, and we have been under the root of the city wall all day!
Even if others don't say it, we are all about to die of being by ourselves. ”
Lai Tianci and they couldn't even lift their heads when they saw those people who came from the academy together. Even Murong Xiaoxiao, the woman, had killed more than a dozen demon beasts.
"Don't shout, don't you kill those big snails too?
I've told you that good steel should be used on the blade. Even if you are allowed to kill dozens or hundreds of demon beasts by yourself, will it have an impact on the overall situation? Let me think again, think again. ”
As the sun set, the dappled sunset on the horizon reflected on the blood-washed city wall, adding a lot of sadness to the emotional atmosphere of the soldiers stationed there. The occasional beast roar in the distance reminds people that they don't know when the nightmare will come again.
At this time, hundreds of demon beasts took advantage of the night to sneak outside the city wall, and dragged back the corpses of the dead demon beasts under the city wall again and again.
During the truce, it is customary not to attack enemy armies that come to collect corpses, and this is also the case among these mortal armies, as is the case with the monster armies. So looking at the demon beasts that dragged the corpses back under the city wall, the soldiers on the city wall did not attack.
In the big camp, Yang Ze had been thinking about the sudden retreat of the demon beast since he came back. He just couldn't figure out why the demon beast that obviously had the upper hand retreated for what reason. And until now there have been no further attacks.
"Are you still thinking about it? Actually, I don't think there is a need to think about things so complicated sometimes, maybe those monsters are tired. ”
Sometimes Yang Ze has to admire Chen Da Fat, and often a casual sentence can point to the crux of the problem.
The four words "the monster is tired" may seem to others to be just harmless nonsense or jokes, but at this time, they have determined a direction for Yang Ze.
Maybe it's really the monster that's tired, but it's certain that it's not physical exertion. Don't......
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind, assuming that those demon beasts were commanded by a certain demon beast, would that demon beast be more like an immortal cultivator and have a depleted divine sense? If the demon beasts need divine consciousness to command those low-level demon beasts, then there will always be a time when the divine consciousness will be exhausted. Then the retreat is inevitable.
