Chapter 229: The Assault of the Rebels
Seeing the monsters flying towards us, my heart also hangs, can these defenders hold on?
But then again, there are so many beast-form monster legions on the rebel side, why don't the king's army defending the city have it, I have patrolled the city wall, and they are all humanoid monsters.
At this time, Chai Rong also came out of the command room, he pulled out the long sword from his waist, and then said loudly: "The magic qi cannon is aimed at the ground, and the archers are aimed at the sky, listen to my orders, and prepare to fight!" ”
As Chai Rong's voice came out, the defenders at the head of the city also shouted: "Drink!" ”
The momentum was earth-shattering, and all the defenders were in full motion, and at first glance they were well-trained and strong soldiers.
And the reserves under the city wall, they are also on standby, standing very neatly, ready to rush to the city wall at any time to be a replacement.
Waiting for those beasts to be less than two hundred meters away from us, Chai Rong's long sword waved and said, "Launch!" ”
"Buzz ......"
Dozens of magic qi cannons were fired out first, and many monsters and monsters on the ground were knocked over.
Then it turned into a cloud of black gas and disappeared, and the morale of the soldiers defending the city was suddenly high, they had never seen such a powerful magic weapon, and ordinary soldiers could control it.
Not to be outdone, the archers rained down on arrows and flew into the air, and the monsters flying in the air spewed demonic energy to resist, but they couldn't bear the arrows like a torrential rain.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
In an instant, countless monsters exploded, and clouds of black gas spread across the sky, and the defenders were very well prepared, although the monsters' charge was powerful, they couldn't tear their mouths for a while.
In particular, the addition of the Demon Qi Cannon made those monsters even more frightened.
I didn't sit idle, I summoned the Death Bell, and then the huge bell was aimed at the monsters, and the monsters that were charging in the direction of the city gate quickly turned around and began to run back.
"Buzz!"
A huge bell rang out, and a huge demonic energy cannon shot out.
"Boom!"
The demonic energy cannonball exploded in the charging monster camp, and the billowing wolf smoke dispersed, and dozens of monsters instantly turned into black smoke and dissipated.
However, those monsters seemed not afraid of death, and in addition to avoiding the city gate, they kept charging at the city wall.
The magic cannons on the city walls are also constantly firing.
The rain of arrows also does not stop.
No matter how dense the attacks on our side are, we can't withstand the huge number of monsters, and some monsters have begun to rush under the city walls, and at the same time, some monsters have flown into the city.
However, the defenders of the city immediately rose into the air, and they engaged the flying monsters in the air.
There are still a few flying monsters that break through our defenses, so when they fly into the high altitude of the city, they will immediately be surrounded and suppressed by the defending soldiers who have risen into the air, and even if those monsters rush in, they are outnumbered and defeated in the air.
After a few shots, my improvised demonic energy cannons shattered one after another, and there was no way to use them anymore, and the charges of those monsters under the city walls became more and more fierce.
The archers at the head of the city had to take care of not only the earth, but also the air.
Fortunately, there are many archers on our side, and even if there is no magic cannon, the rain of arrows in the air and on the ground is extremely dense.
The monsters fell to the ground.
Of course, occasionally one or two strong monsters will rush to the top of the city, but like the monsters in the air, they will also be surrounded and suppressed by the soldiers defending the city.
Occasionally, some soldiers are accidentally killed by monsters.
We've started to suffer casualties on both sides, but on the whole, it's the rebels who have suffered heavy losses.
And on my side, I am also constantly supporting with demonic energy cannons.
The sound of the explosion "boom" exploded on the ground outside the city.
The first charge of the rebels lasted only about half an hour before retreating, and only a third of the tens of thousands of monsters that charged retreated, and hundreds of soldiers were lost on the entire city wall on our side.
At the same time, I also received news that several other city gates were also under siege, but the scale of the other city gates was very small, and the scale of the battle between the two sides did not exceed 1,000 people, which was completely a joke, and even the magic qi cannon did not come in handy.
Huang, Chen, and Lu are still waiting.
So I took half of the demonic qi cannons from the other three city gates and carried them to the west gate overnight.
We repelled the first wave of the rebels, and the soldiers on the walls cheered.
Our side was also in a great state of spirit, and after I saw the power of the simple magic qi cannon, I asked the defenders in the city to collect all the alchemists' medicine furnaces and smelt those medicine furnaces into demon qi cannons.
The materials of those alchemists' medicine furnaces were relatively better, and I roughly estimated that they could hit twenty or thirty rounds of demonic qi cannons.
The rebels were repulsed only temporarily, and in less than half an hour, the rebels attacked again, but this time, the regular army of the rebels followed behind the monster legion.
The legions, lined up in neat formations, followed the monster legions, and rushed towards us again.
Fortunately, we brought in a new magic cannon, and with the close cooperation of the magic cannon and the archers, more and more enemies rushed up the city wall, but they were still surrounded and killed as soon as they came up, and of course some rebels were able to take the lives of one or two of our defenders.
The battle has reached a fever pitch.
I've been firing a lot of rebels without my help, and the pressure on our side would have been even greater.
The charge lasted forty minutes, and then the rebels withdrew again.
This time the rebels lost thousands, and we also lost hundreds of soldiers defending the city.
The losses on our side are also starting to grow.
After another half an hour, the rebels attacked again, and I found that every time they charged, they were different from the people and monsters who charged before, and the camp they charged before would go back to rest well, and then let the camp with plenty of rest come.
On our side, the soldiers defending the city only had half an hour of rest at a time.
Some of the demonic qi of the soldiers on our side cannot be recovered.
In particular, some cultivated archers have no way to shoot demonic qi arrows anymore, so they can only let new defenders come up.
The Zhou family demon venerable, they are going to use the wheel town to drag us down.
The rebels divided into dozens of assaults in more than a dozen camps, and it was not until the next morning, when the sun rose, that their charge came to an end.
Our side was also completely relieved.
The rebels also need to take a break, and the overnight wheel charge still hasn't broken through the city gate, which also has a great impact on their morale, so they need to adjust the siege strategy and boost the morale of the soldiers.
The rebels' charge this night has exhausted our side, and so have I manipulated the Mourning Bell overnight.
The other party did not make a move, and we did not have a move.
However, the rebels did not dispatch the Holy Demon last night, and several Holy Demon generals on our side have already joined the battle.
Judging from the situation, this defensive battle has begun to be extremely unfavorable to us.
After the night, many soldiers no longer had the prestige they had before, and fell asleep against the city wall, they were really tired.
They don't even have the strength to pranayama.
However, there were still quite a few soldiers who just sat down cross-legged and began to breathe.
Looking at those soldiers, and thinking about the soldiers who turned into demonic energy and disappeared last night, I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart, this is war, a cruel war.
At the same time, I also have some doubts in my heart, once these monsters are killed, they will turn into demonic energy, why can the severed heads that hit the cloud altar and those who take the path of merit be saved?
But on second thought, the North Heavenly Gate may have unique preservation measures.
At dawn, Yun Li came out with Mu Luo, and Yun Yi also followed, during the battle yesterday, she was right not to come out, after all, the battlefield was too chaotic, if she came out with Mu Luo, she would have to divide people to protect them, which would drag down the defenders.
Looking at the embarrassed defenders, Yun Li said with some guilt: "Everyone has worked hard, thank you!" ”
Yun Li's "thank you" made the hearts of the soldiers defending the city warm, and the soldiers smiled, and then shouted at the same time: "Long live, long live......
The morale of the soldiers was also boosted a lot.
Yun Li hurriedly said again: "Everyone should have a good rest, every day in the future, the situation we face will become more and more severe, but I, Yun Li, swear here, no matter what the battle situation is, as long as the soldiers do not take a step back, I, Yun Li, will stay on this city wall with the soldiers!" ”
"Even if it's to dissipate the last trace of demonic energy in my body."
"Hooray, hooray......"
The soldiers defending the city continued to chant.
Yun Yan looked around a few times, and from her eyes, I could tell that she didn't take the lives of those soldiers defending the city seriously, and she took it for granted that those soldiers worked for her.
There was a deep selfishness and indifference in her eyes.
When everyone was excited, she could still be as calm as water.
I'm getting more and more disgusted with Yun Yi as a person.
But now she is still useful, I won't do anything to her for the time being, and when the war is over, I must cut her power, otherwise she may harm the Demon Yuan.
Anyway, a new day has finally arrived, and this Demon King City is still in our hands, so we will continue to hold on......
