CHAPTER 40
The Zermen did not charge the whole army immediately, but sent 2,000 Zermen to prepare for a tentative attack.
"Two thousand...... Not bad. Taryn said, "Now, let's draw their attention to this place." ”
The two thousand wormmen were carrying shields, and although those battlefield watchers didn't float over them, they brought shields just in case.
"Shield, it's a bit of a hassle. It's fine for our crossbow bolts to pierce the bugmen's rudimentary shields, but it's not easy to shoot through the wormmen's carapaces. Cai Yunfan quietly showed his head and observed the insect soldiers who rushed over, "The effect of the raid will probably not be very good." ”
"It's not important, it's the blow to the opponent's forward momentum." Sebroth said.
“……”
The Worms rushed within range of their javelins, and as they moved forward, they threw a javelin from one of their arms and hurled it towards the city.
The Loadworm lowered itself as low as possible to prevent being hit by the javelin, and the rats jumped off the stone and lay on the ground.
Some of the javelins flew over the walls into the city, piercing some of the soldiers, while others fell in a parabola, nailing the loads to the ground.
More javelins were deeply rooted in the walls, and some even pierced the battlements of the walls.
"The power of the wormmen is terrifying," Taryn lamented, "get the rats ready, the wormmen are about to rush into range." ”
When the insects stepped into range of the nezumi, the nezumi appeared on the wall with bows and crossbows, and then arrows rained down.
"What kind of creature is that?!" The hunter was stunned for a moment, those who could fly and blew themselves up before, those big spiders on the city wall, and now there is another one who uses a bow and arrow? (The green-skinned rat man's fur has fallen off, and it's normal for the bug-man to not recognize it for a while.) )
Although the rain of arrows looks very dense, but the insects do not fall much, the shield and the carapace, so that the rain of arrows of the rat people does not cause much damage to the insects, and a considerable part of them fall because they were shot in the weak joints of their legs.
However, the nezumi also understood that the siege battle against the wormmen still depended on the time when the wormmen were ready to climb the city wall.
However, there was something different, as the Worm rushed into the range of the Acid Sprayer, the Acid Sprayer began to spray the acid stored by the Load Worm.
The acid corrodes the insect man's shield and carapace, weakening its defenses. Once there is a splash in the eyes of the insect man, it can cause his vision to blur and even go blind, after all, the insect man does not have eyelids.
However, the long-range strike methods of the Zerg were not very powerful, and they could not stop the progress of the Zerg, and the two thousand Zergs paid the price of more than 40 Bugmen killed and more than 100 Bugmen injured and rushed to the bottom of the city wall and began to climb the city wall.
The Loadworm showed its sharp forelimbs, and the Nezumi took out the armor-piercing cone, and at the same time, the stones that had been piled up by the Nezumi were picked up by the Nezumi soldiers. They have to use condescending attacks to suppress the insects. The climbing insect man can only attack with two arms, and the dodge ability is limited, so he can only resist hard.
"It's just a bunch of people with their own plate armor and flexible movements." Taryn said, "It's a much better start than a human start...... Although there is a need to hibernate this flaw. ”
With a swing of its knife-like forelimbs, the Loadworm stabbed the head of the first Worm who was about to climb the wall, and the Worm let go of its hand and fell backwards to the ground.
The battle to defend the city began, and the losses of the insects began to increase, and the ratmen were sometimes dragged down by the insects, falling to the ground from the walls several meters high, and those who did not fall to death would also be mended by the insects who did not climb up, but the ratmen would block it as soon as possible to fill the gap.
However, the load worm is not so easy to pull, the worm man does not dare to grab the knife-like forelimbs of the load worm, and the load worm will be stuck in the battlements because of its size, and the worm man cannot use too much force, so he can't pull it at all.
"Let's start on the other side." Taryn said, "It's okay to keep this side of the wall in the way for a while. ”
……
On the other side, the swarm of insects squatting outside the city who got the news moved, and thousands of soldiers and insects mixed with load insects rushed towards the camp behind the insect people, and the number of insect people who stayed in the camp was not much, and they were drowned by the soldiers and insects as many as 5,000 or so without making any big waves. The acid sprayer sprays strong acid on the insect man's grain, and the soldier insect tears the insect man's bag of grain and grass, spills the food inside on the ground, and tramples on it at will. There are also some soldiers and insects tearing through the camp tents of the insects, destroying the spare weapons of the insects and something.
Because Taryn demanded that the wave of destruction be quickly completed, the swarm would not have time to take away the grain and grass, so it would be simply destroyed.
The insects soon discovered the abnormality of the camp, and then they found out that the home behind them had been stolen.
"Leave half of the troops here, and the other half back to the camp, so that the besieging troops can return in an orderly manner." The hunting king quickly gave the order, he still didn't fight hard enough, if the other party changed homes at this time......
"Then it will be directly attacked from both sides, although it is very likely to be broken through, but it can also leave a lot of worms." Tylen said, "Take it when you see it, retreat directly to the territory of the Zerg Kingdom, attack the Zerg's village, and attack the reinforcements and supplies that may arrive." The other party doesn't dare to fight for the time being. ”
"However, it is not so easy to retreat as easily." Taryn said, "Send out a small number of strong acid blasters and blow them up for a round. ”
The King of Hunters looked at the situation on both sides, and although he sent half of his troops to rush back, I am afraid that it will be too late now. Looking at the battlefield watcher floating on the city walls, the Hunter suddenly felt a terror, a terror in the face of an enemy who was more resourceful than himself.
"Where did all these troops come from? What about scouts? Why didn't anyone find those creatures outside the city? The Hunter said.
"This ...... Not before...... Scout said cautiously, "they may have arrived later." ”
"......" The Hunter didn't know what to say, and finally sighed. Watching the insects lying on the city wall begin to retreat in an orderly manner, the insects under the city wall are throwing javelins, and any rat and zerg who feel their heads will be pierced.
However, at this moment, a group of small green spiders crawled out of the city wall and pounced straight at the insects under the city wall.
