Chapter 422: Introducing Master
In the midst of the sound of trumpets, countless people of the righteous dynasty let out a beast-like howl, and those soldiers immediately rushed towards Yitian City like black and oppressive dark clouds. The trench wagons were at the front, and they had to pave the way for the soldiers behind.
Seeing this scene, Meng Huan Chilong couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat, now there are less than 2,000 people on the city wall, this round of attacks, casualties have increased a lot, especially the soldiers on both sides, after participating in the battle in front of the city tower, they were also suppressed by the people of the upright dynasty, so the battle became fierce.
He shouted at the soldiers: "Brothers, hold on, get those carts for me, don't let them cross the river, hold on, our men will be there soon." Shoot the arrows!"
At his shout, arrows and crossbow spears from the walls flew out again. Although there were not enough personnel and the density of the attack was not enough, it was accurate. The rushing trench carts were shattered by the crossbow spears, and even the soldiers of the upright dynasty who followed behind were shot to the ground, with a bloody hole in their bodies, and the flying arrows set those trench carts on fire.
In the midst of the chaos, he glanced at the battles elsewhere on the city wall, and found that Meng Huanbao was attacking the trebuchet with a dozen fire witch archers, while Tian Zhikun and Lei Mu were attacking those archers with the new wind crossbow to suppress each other.
What worried him was the flanks, but now the attack power was the weakest, and the upright dynasty had already jumped onto the city wall and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers. This made him wonder, how did these upright dynasty people get to the city wall?
He stared at it, and found that those Shura people were juggling a little, and when they got up, two Asuras would join forces, catch the Shura, and then use their strength to throw the Shura people high again, and throw those Shura people up the city wall, even if they couldn't throw it, those Shura people would use weapons or ropes to hook on the city wall to borrow strength, and then jump on the city wall.
But more upright people did not have such skills, but relied on those who jumped on the wall, threw down the ropes, and then protected the position, allowing the people below to climb the wall.
Upon discovering this situation, he immediately felt that their defense was now unreasonable, and they had to free up manpower to support the walls on both sides. If more upright dynasty people rush to the city wall, I'm afraid that these people will flood into the city in large numbers, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to stop these crazy upright dynasty people at that time.
It's just that he doesn't have any extra manpower now, and he can't send anyone to support the city guards on both sides. And now the most threatening thing to the city is the trebuchet, whether it is the destruction of the city gate or the destruction of the arrow tower, it is not good for the defense of the city wall.
He felt that he should concentrate his crossbows on the trebuchets once, and after destroying those trebuchets, he would be able to free up manpower to empty the upright dynasty people on the city walls.
"All the crossbows and archers obeyed the order, attacked en masse, and destroyed the stone-throwing machine. He gave the order decisively.
Then he himself got up from the ground and prepared to attack with a crossbow spear. But just when I got up, I still felt dizzy, my legs were weak, and I sat on the ground again.
At this time, I heard an anxious shout behind me, and then someone rushed over, it was the young Shi Jiarui.
"Are you alright, Chief? I just saw you fall. ”
He remembered that when he sat down for the first time, someone did shout, and it was Shi Jiarui.
Seeing the young man's concerned eyes, he couldn't help but laugh. "I'm fine, I just lost my strength just now, you came just in time, help me get on the crossbow spear, shoot the catapult, I'll slow down." With that, he began to regain his magical power, because the magical power in his body was basically empty.
Shi Jiarui was still uneasy and said, "Chief, are you really okay?"
"It's okay, it's just out of strength. ”
At this time, a few more soldiers rushed up, and Shi Jiarui said: "Leader, you recover first, let us do this." ”
Menghuan Red Dragon was not reckless, nodded, and said: "Call Menghuan Mountain Tiger to attack the stone-throwing machine, that thing will cause too much damage to the city wall." When the attack is finished, call them to support the two sides and attack the upright dynasty people on the city wall, who are now under more pressure than we are. ”
As soon as Shi Jiarui heard this, he shouted at the city wall, and the soldiers behind the strong crossbow responded when they heard it, and then began to attack.
Meng Huan Chilong sat in place, controlled the two witch holes, and directly absorbed the vitality with the Yuan Qi Sea, because he didn't dare to show too many witch holes, for fear of causing chaos, and at the same time urged the blood qi to restore his physical strength.
When watching those soldiers busy, he found that there was a person in the middle who was very familiar, and suddenly remembered that this person was Wu Lijin, a blacksmith from Panshi Town, who was rescued the night before, and was a fire-attribute war wizard, and now Tian Zhikun's subordinates are helping.
I couldn't help but shout: "Wu Lijin, you come to shoot, use your fire magic power to target those stone-throwing machines." ”
Wu Lijin heard the shout, glanced back, then smiled, and was not polite, just stood behind the strong crossbow and pulled the crossbow's board machine. I saw a dozen crossbow spears flying towards the trebuchets as thick torches.
Under the city walls, the upright dynasty people were densely packed, and none of those crossbow spears missed. Because when a crossbow spear with fire property passes through a human body, it melts off their armor and falls on a trebuchet, breaking the wood directly and then burning.
Meng Huan Chilong could feel that Wu Lijin's fire magic power was too strong, and it was estimated that the fire magic power was higher than that of the Xiong brothers. He stretched out his head to look outside the city and found that Wu Lijin's blow not only directly destroyed the three trebuchets, but also made the soldiers of the upright dynasty, and about a dozen zhang in that position was empty.
This made him happy, and said loudly: "Wu Lijin, kill the beauty, after this war, I will introduce Tian Zhikun as your master, and in the future, you will cooperate, and all the weapons in our army will belong to you." ”
Wu Lijin saw Tian Zhikun's means of transforming the armor, and he originally had this thought, but because he didn't have a fire essence, he was embarrassed to speak, and now he was happy when he heard Meng Huan Chilong say this.
"My lord, you have to talk about it! I must let him take me as an apprentice. ”
"Naturally, it's just that you may want to become a senior brother with Shi Jiarui. ”
Wu Lijin was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied: "Mr. Tian is a caster, as long as he is willing to accept me as an apprentice, I like this business." ”
Meng Huan Chilong also nodded, because he likes people who have goals and persistence, and it should be said that Wu Lijin is such a person.
Wu Lijin loaded the crossbow with a crossbow spear and asked, "My lord, I heard that the crossbow was thought of by you?"
Before Meng Huan Chilong could speak, Shi Jiarui hurriedly said: "Why, you don't believe it! I can testify!"
"Believe, believe, why don't you believe it? Can this thing be faked? Besides, now that you are witnessing, do I dare not believe it?"
This reminded Meng Huan Chilong that the two of them were from the same town, and Shi Jiarui was going to go to Wu Lijin's blacksmith shop to eat after completing his studies.
But Shi Jiarui's words made Wu Lijin's eyes widen. "Why, you're not convinced? Let me tell you, the leader is my apprentice. ”
"You, you said that the Lord is your apprentice?" Wu Lijin stammered a little in questioning, and when he spoke, his eyes also looked at the red dragon.
That knew that Meng Winding Red Dragon didn't show any expression on his face at all, just looked at them with a smile.
"Why, don't believe it, he's the leader, I'm his personal guard, we're all members of the People's Army, and he's learning blacksmithing from me, no problem, right?"
Wu Lijin hesitated for a moment and said, "You joined the People's Army, I see that you are still helping out in the Lei Chamber of Commerce!"
"Whoever said that joining the people's army would not be ironed. I joined the People's Army because I wanted to kill the people of the Righteous Dynasty, and I wanted to learn the skills of striking iron, no!"
Wu Lijin nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, why not! Chief, you let me be like him, I can participate in the battle of the people's army on the one hand, and I can strike iron on the other." ”
Meng Huan Chilong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, the conditions for you to join the People's Army are the same as Shi Jiarui's, and you will directly belong to my Red Dragon Battalion." But you must get Elder Tian's consent, because you are all scarce talents now, and the entire Heavenly City needs people like you to help. ”
Wu Lijin smiled and said, "Okay, that's it." ”
As they spoke, the leopard also led the men to shoot their crossbow spears, so that the dozen trebuchets of the Duanzheng Dynasty were now only four, two of which were still smoking.
The most important thing is that the soldiers who operate the trebuchets have injured more than half of the crossbows and archers, and they are no longer able to control them. Amid the shouts of the leader of the Shura, the soldiers pulled the trebuchets back.
He couldn't help but be a little vigilant when he saw the people of the upright dynasty pulling the remaining equipment back. Because he had thrown stones in the mountains and forests, he knew that the smaller the stone, the farther it would be thrown, that is to say, this kind of trebuchet is determined according to the weight of the throw.
Just now I wanted to smash open the city gate, but the trebuchet pulled very close, and now I want to pull away, just to throw the people on the city wall, so I said to Wu Lijin: "Wu Lijin, do it again, kill all those stone-throwing things." Shi Jiarui told others to use strong crossbows to support both sides, and no longer let people go up the city wall. ”
As soon as Shi Jiarui heard this, he shouted at the soldiers in front of the city tower, and those city guards responded one after another, but the people of the Lei Chamber of Commerce did not speak, but they also turned their crossbows and began to attack the upright dynasty people on both sides, suppressing them to quickly ascend the city wall.
Only Tian Zhikun stuck his head out from the Menghuan Mountain Tiger and their arrow tower, staring at those instruments. These devices did not appear in the war a hundred years ago, and they should have been developed later by other countries, but the Wu country did not, which shows that the strength of the Wu country lags behind other countries.
Fortunately, Meng Huan Chilong got the drawings, he wanted to build these things, especially the trebuchet, which can smash the city wall, it should be not small, if it is loaded with smaller stones, if it smashes people, it will also smash a large piece.
When Mohandas came out of the smoke and dust from the explosion of the fire witch crossbow spear, the whole person was disgraced, because the ** upper body made the wounds on his body more conspicuous, because the blood was flowing.
Although the trebuchets were destroyed, this time he himself was not harmed, and the injuries on his body were all blown up by the thunder, especially the burning pain in his back, and he didn't know how it hurt.
He looked up at the city walls, but there was no peace and ease in his eyes, but a kind of madness. He raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, brandished a black club, and led the way towards the city gate.
