Chapter 505: The Walking Dead
The archers on the city wall, as well as the strong crossbow, because of the light of the fire, shot all the arrows, and the sound of arrows suppressed the scattered arrows of the Duanzheng Dynasty.
In the whistling sound of arrows, a miserable howl also sounded in that dark place,
Meng Winding Red Dragon smiled lightly: "Archers, one more round, hold them down." ”
Another whistling of arrows sounded, and the rushing crowd seemed to be cut off, and halted at the place of the fire, for these two rounds of attacks had filled the moat with corpses and wounded.
The running upright dynasty team was attacked, and the running became unsmooth, and the people in front kept howling and falling, and the people behind had to avoid it, otherwise the fallen people would be trampled into a corpse by them, which made the whole procession appear chaotic and slowed down the running speed.
The main thing is that they can't see what is going on on the walls, because it is dark, and if they run to the moat, they are exposed to the light and make themselves targets.
But the military positions of the upright dynasty people in the back kept urging the soldiers to rush forward, not only did they not light torches, but some people shouted loudly to extinguish the fires by the moat. Under the pressure of the military ranks, the soldiers of the upright dynasty rushed to the moat.
Perhaps it was the shouts of the people of the Correct Dynasty, which Meng Winding Red Dragon understood partially, which alerted him, because he rushed forward in the darkness without lighting, and such an attack itself was somewhat abnormal.
After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately reacted and ordered loudly: "Tell the soldiers to light torches and throw down the city wall, and the people of the righteous dynasty still want to sneak up the city wall." ”
When torches were thrown down the city wall, a problem was discovered, and on both sides of the city wall, a large number of people from the upright dynasty had already crossed the river, and were now gathering under the city wall, and it seemed that when the number of people reached a certain number, they began to go up to the city, and then occupied the city wall.
The voices of Teng Xinzun and Long Qishui sounded, shouting for the soldiers to throw the rolling stone and sassal wood down, and then there was a shout of killing in that place, but because the distance was a little far, it was not clear in the dark night. I only heard the screams of someone, and among them were the voices of the Wu soldiers.
Long Xionghua, who was guarding with Shi Jieguan, heard the movement and asked a little nervously, "Chief, do you want me to take a look." ”
Meng Huan Chilong glanced at it, but only saw a dark night, and a few stars in the sky. "No, they'll hold on, you're still of great use. ”
Then he turned his gaze straight ahead, for he heard a rumbling sound, and from the faint shadows in the distance, he guessed that the Righteous Dynasty must have brought up the trebuchet, which made him frown.
"Who is in charge of our trebuchets?"
"Me. It was Tian Zhikun who stood up.
The red dragon glanced at him. "Why did you get up to the wall? Didn't you tell you to make crossbows, spears and arrows?"
"I wanted to do it, but they said I was a caster, and I shouldn't make those knick-knacks, but I had to go up to the walls, or I would have nothing to do. ”
Meng Huan Chilong scratched his head, knowing that this was Tian Zhikun talking nonsense, and this reason was not sufficient at all, but he couldn't say anything yet, so he raised his hand, pointed to the shadow of a somewhat vague trebuchet in the distance, and asked, "Elder Tian, can you kill their trebuchet?"
Tian Zhikun glanced at it and said, "I'm not sure for the first time, but it's definitely okay for the second time." ”
"Okay, focus on stability, as long as you kill the trebuchet, I will repay you. ”
Tian Zhikun smiled: "Don't give me a false one, that's useless for me." Then he turned around and walked to the trebuchet that was placed by the tower.
Meng Huan Chilong looked under the city wall, and found that the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty were fighting those fires, so he said: "Fire attribute spirit witches, come again, stay away, see those black things, they are trebuchets, if they are ignited, then none of the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty next to them will be able to escape." ”
When the fire exploded again, he found that he could not understand the purpose of the people of the Righteous Dynasty, who did not seem to want to attack the city, but to do something else. There were about 20,000 people on the side of the moat, all carrying things, and some even carrying corpses, rushing to the moat and throwing them into the river.
Although the moat was also cleaned just now, it was not cleaned, the carcass of the long-haired iron elephant could not be pulled up at all, and it was still blocked in the original place, now the soldiers of the upright dynasty and then threw things into it, the moat will soon be blocked, so that the water of the moat will overflow, and the people of the upright dynasty can easily rush across the river.
Moreover, at the edge of the sword formation that had just erupted, there were a large number of soldiers holding shields or planks to a halt, as if when the sword formation was launched again, these soldiers would use their shields to block those blades.
Meng Wrapping Red Dragon frowned again, he didn't understand what the other party was going to do, so he didn't give a new order, just let the archers continue to attack.
The soldiers of the upright dynasty didn't care about the arrows at all, and they didn't cross the river with shields or planks, but they were just collecting the bodies of the dead and throwing them into the moat.
In a short time, the corpses filled the moat, and the people of the righteous dynasty behind them pressed over, and the men in front rushed across the river, but continued to collect the bodies of the war dead, grabbed them and threw them on both sides of the city gate, and then went to collect the other corpses.
The archers of the Righteous Dynasty lined up, and together with the trebuchets, they had already rushed to the moat, but they did not attack, but stood quietly, as if waiting for the order to attack together.
In the queue, in addition to the row of shield bearers in front, there were dozens of Shura people who looked gloomy.
They didn't have weapons, but they all stood in a line with wooden staffs like spirit witches, not knowing what they were going to do.
When the red dragon saw this, his little eyes narrowed, what were they going to do? He stood up suddenly, walked to the city wall, and looked out of the city.
The practice of correcting the dynasty made the soldiers on the city wall stunned, and the Wu people would not treat their dead companions as siege equipment, because there was respect for the dead.
After Meng Huan Chilong looked at it, he guessed that the people of the Dynasty were trying to use the corpses of these war dead as sand. Now that the moat has been filled with corpses, the moat is useless, and the soldiers can rush directly to the walls. And they are now piling up corpses on both sides of the city gate, and the corpses of tens of thousands of people under the city can indeed pile up a road through the city wall, but this is a road piled up with life.
This made him feel a kind of coldness, and it was intolerable for him that the people of the upright dynasty did not care about the existence of life for the sake of profit.
Under the city gate, the soldiers of the Duanzheng Dynasty had climbed the corpse mountain, forming two longitudinal lines to pass the corpses that had been transported, and they used the corpses of their former companions as ordinary building materials.
I saw that those corpses were thrown on the corpse mountain one by one, and soon formed the shape of a small hillside, and grew at an alarming rate, as long as no one stopped it, this small hillside would soon be connected with the city wall, forming a corpse mountain, as long as it reached a height about the same as the city wall, then the people of the upright dynasty could follow the corpse mountain and directly rush into the city wall.
He knew that the continuous attacks of the people of the Duan Dynasty would also have flaws, and those destroyed siege equipment would always take time to make, so the people of the Duan Dynasty would also need time.
It's just that I didn't expect Mohandas to come up with such an idea that he could attack the city again in a short period of time. This unbelievable way of besieging the city, although it has a certain amount of wisdom, is too cruel and far from the title of human.
He noticed that there was something unbearable in the eyes of his soldiers, these corpses were scattered all over the battlefield, and he couldn't feel it, but when he piled them all together, the vision was amazing. Some of the soldiers had already covered their mouths, restraining their emotions. But the corpse mountain is growing at an alarming rate, and it may not be long before the corpse mountain reaches the city wall.
Long Qifeng didn't expect such a scene, and looked out of the city with some horror, as long as this road paved with corpses led to the city wall, Yitian City would definitely not exist. There are about 50,000 people in the city now, plus the people's army, and they will be swallowed up by the people of the righteous dynasty. So he regretted a little that he hadn't called more soldiers to burn those corpses just now, maybe if they were burned, there would be no such battle.
But now is not the time to regret it, he turned his head to look at Meng Huan Chilong, and found that Meng Huan Chilong was holding a long knife, walked to the city wall, and looked carefully at the upright dynasty soldiers under the city wall.
Long Qifeng also looked over and found that the soldiers of the upright dynasty who were busy under the city walls were all Asuras.
These asuras were clearly here to die, they had no weapons on them, and their free hands were grabbing corpses. Although the archers on the city wall kept firing arrows, the Asuras were thick-skinned and rough-fleshed, and ordinary arrows could not kill them if they did not hit the vital point.
These asuras seem to be just walking corpses, they don't dodge the arrows that come at them, they don't react even after being hit, they just carry the corpses quickly, and if they are shot dead, others will carry them up the corpse mountain and become a part of the corpse mountain.
The people of the upright dynasty by the moat saw that no new measures were taken on the city walls, but only shot the asuras with bows and arrows and crossbow spears. The upright dynasty people by the moat also stood still, as if waiting for the passage to be piled up, and then rushed up to the city wall in one go.
Meng Winding Red Dragon frowned, thinking about how to solve the current problem, because attacking now is just like adding bricks and tiles to the people of the Duan Zheng Dynasty, and they need a large number of corpses to increase the height of this corpse mountain.
This is also evidenced by the performance of the Asuras below, those who are busy in the Mountain of Corpses, who don't even look at the people on the city walls, just run in a hurry, busy with their own business. In particular, the Asuras, who had brought the corpses from the moat, left the corpses behind and left quickly, only to maintain a certain number under the walls and pile those corpses on the mountain of corpses.
Meng Huan Chilong felt that he couldn't wait, he had to take measures, if this mountain of corpses was piled up on the city wall, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop it.
"Tell someone to push the fire dragon cart, fire attribute spirit witch, and burn the corpse mountain. ”
When the drums sounded, the spirit witches made the first move, and when the fire exploded on the corpse mountain, the people of the upright dynasty also sounded the horn, and then they saw a piece of fire shooting towards the city wall.
