Chapter 8: Gluttony Strikes
"Boom! Boom! Knock knock!! ”
On the leaping platform of the Great Wall, there are ten big drums every other section of the city wall, and the female generals of the Crane Army wearing blue armor are flying drums and hammers in their hands, and the drums beat like rain and drums like thunder.
At the top of the platform, there is a huge pier, and there is no open flame in it, but a condensed smoke soars into the sky.
Xia Jie looked up, on this continuous Great Wall, there were similar smoke tornadoes before and after, and it was clear whether there was any hostile situation.
After coming out of the military hall, except for Xia Jie and Wang Junshi, who also followed Shao Dianshuai, the other three people dispersed, General Deng of the Tiger Army went down to the high section of the city wall, commanded the soldiers to control the defensive equipment, and General Chen of the Eagle Army led the queue to stand on the high platform and erected thick arrow towers, and the soldiers all drew bows and arrows.
Everyone performed their duties, standing at their posts, as the Tiger Army activated the internal mechanism of the Great Wall, the ground split into a two-meter square opening, and slowly poked out a silver crane from below, after it rose to the top, like a flower blooming, unfolded a fan barrier, and erected horizontally on the edge of the Great Wall.
Lin Mei, the general of the Crane Army, led the team to tie the iron ring, step by step on the bridge in mid-air, they held a four-meter-long crane head spear, pointed at the ground obliquely, and looked at the vast Hook Wu Mountain with burning eyes.
On the highest platform of the Chinese army, Wang Junshi supported the wooden fence with one hand, his face was calm, but he was full of joy: "Palace Shuai, it's finally here!" ”
Shao Dianshuai stood aside, his voice was very low. "Yes, I've been waiting for this battle for sixty years."
Sixty years is the annual ring of the three changes of the defenders of the Great Wall, and it is very likely to be the life of an ordinary person.
They have been guarding this barren mountain for such a long time, just for the arrival of this day, although the gluttony has advanced the time to attack, but everyone has a sense of relief in their hearts at this moment.
Xia Jie withdrew his gaze from left and right, and suddenly his face tightened: "I just thought about how to cut gluttony, but I ignored that the Great Wall is so high!" I'm going to go down later! ”
Don't look at the movie in which the shadowless forbidden army often meets gluttonous soldiers, but that all happened on the Great Wall.
As for the ground battlefield where the Gluttonous Beastmaster is located, most of them are covered by fireball bombardment and arrow rain, because of the boundless gluttonous army, no army can face them head-on.
"By the way, at the bottom of the Great Wall, there seems to be a mechanism that can open a hole, which is used to rescue wounded soldiers!"
Suddenly, Xia Jie recalled such a detail, when William caught a gluttonous live beast, he escaped from the stone cave opened under the Great Wall, this point, if he hadn't watched the movie, I'm afraid he wouldn't have remembered it so carefully!
"Squeak squeak squeak......"
"So fast?"
Xia Jie looked ahead carefully, the green beast tide that rose from the horizon at the foot of the mountain, along the mountain road that had been trampled on the year before, rushed towards the Great Wall.
The roar of the beast, with the sound of shrieving breaths through the valley, and the sound of the beast's hooves rushing with it, this is undoubtedly gluttony!
"Attack from afar!"
Shao Dianshuai's eyes flickered, and he ordered in a cold voice.
"Yes! War Drum Corps Command!! Attack from afar! ”
The herald behind him ran out quickly, his voice loud enough for the crane army in the distance to hear, and then, the drum sound on the Great Wall sounded again, but the rhythm and intensity changed.
This is the communication method of the Shadowless Forbidden Army, through the sound of a huge war drum, to transmit military information, several times faster than manpower, the sound can also penetrate the stone wall, by the soldiers within the Great Wall.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ......" A series of projectiles sounded within the Great Wall.
The huge catapult on the inner wall broke free from its restraints and ejected, slashing a full hundred and eighty degrees, and throwing the burning fireball in it into the ground outside.
The stone ball was poured with fire oil, and it exploded on the ground, and the burning stones shot out in all directions, pulling up a line of flames on the ground, cutting the gluttonous front and rear army in half.
Immediately, seeing that the gluttony was approaching, General Chen took the lead in loosening the bowstring and ordered to fly with the arrows: "Archers!" Shoot! ”
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
This sound was like a silver bottle bursting out, and the overwhelming rain of arrows burst out, sniping the gluttony that had already come to the city, even if their compound eyes were extremely small, but under the rain of arrows in the sky, they were also three or four out of ten, and many gluttons fell to the ground.
And after these two rounds of attacks, the gluttony close to the Great Wall has been sparsed too much, which gives the Crane Army a chance!
"Zipline Attack."
Shao Dianshuai Huo Ran ordered, and immediately, the sound of war drums became violently, but there was a sense of sadness in it.
Through this tragic war drum, the female soldiers of the Crane Army standing on the fan-shaped stand carried their spears one after another, jumped off the Great Wall, like a steel knife falling from the sky, and stabbed the gluttony to the ground.
Although many people accurately hit the target, and then returned to the Great Wall through the rebound of the gun, there were still some female soldiers, the moment they landed, they were bitten by the gluttony that rushed up, and only the round blood-stained iron ring was pulled back.
This is how the Great Wall resists gluttony, and attacks from near and far take turns.
If there is gluttony to build a beast wall at this moment, then Shao Dianshuai's tiger army will tie a long rope with iron ropes, hang it on the Great Wall, and use iron axes to resist the gluttony's advance.
As for the deer army, they act like the lubricant of the other four armies, shuttling through the battlefield with great mobility, and will act as an assault force if necessary, assassinating the beastmaster. Its mission is tantamount to the trapped-up camp in the Three Kingdoms, or the modern special forces.
Xia Jie didn't know it so detailed before, because he didn't see what role Lu Jun had from the movie, these were all things he learned from the real situation after he came to this world.
At this moment, he didn't want to wait any longer, his task was to resist gluttony outside the Great Wall, and looking at the situation at this time, no matter how much more than half an hour, gluttony would definitely set up a beast ladder and rush up the Great Wall.
Thinking of it, Xia Jie put down the big knife obliquely, stretched out his hand and hugged his fist:
"The palace marshal, the last general will first organize an assault team, garrison under the Great Wall, and when the gluttony is weak, he will lead the army to rush out of the city gate and strangle them in one fell swoop."
Although this is easy to say, it is actually difficult to implement.
Gluttony, that's a monster as big as a cow, as agile as a monkey, and a big mouth can bite off half of a person's body.
So when Shao Dianshuai heard this, he wanted to directly deny Xia Jie's request, but he thought about it, if the gluttony was really repulsed, then it would be a clever plan to pay the price of some soldiers to hunt the gluttonous beast king!
As long as the beastmaster can be killed, the gluttonous army will be self-defeating, which is an iron law that has been observed for thousands of years.
In ancient times, when the Great Wall was not built, the contemporary army commanders also used this method, I don't know how many hot-blooded men went forward one after another, willing to use their bodies as shields, and their hands as spears, so that they used their flesh and blood to extinguish the gluttony again and again.
Thinking of this, Shao Dianshuai turned his head silently, and said in a condensed tone:
"That's right, if you have the opportunity to lead an army to assault, the first goal is to eradicate the Beastmaster at all costs!"
"Yes!"
Xia Jie gave up his hand, then picked up the big knife and walked straight to the bottom of the Great Wall, as for the deer army on the platform, he didn't even bring any of them!
What leads the team to raid? What is the pursuit of victory? Fake, all fake!
His real intention was to directly kill this gluttonous beast tide head-on with one person and two knives!
"Stomp, stomp."
Xia Jie's footsteps were fast, stepping on the gray stone steps, almost rushing down at a floating speed, and the shadowless forbidden troops along the way were all immersed in the battle one by one, not noticing him at all.
……
At this moment, on the high platform, Wang Junshi's eyes were precise, and he could distinguish the difference from the gluttonous army, and in the rear of the gluttonous army, there was obviously a group of gluttonous people with deep color and huge body who were walking slowly, but they were showing a circular protective circle, which was obviously different from the chaotic gluttonous soldiers.
Wang Junshi suddenly burst out in surprise: "Palace Shuai, that should be the Beast King, it is in command!" ”
And Shao Dianshuai is even more a decisive general, he has no doubt about the judgment of the military advisor, and directly ordered: "Attack the beast king!" ”
Then, the herald also immediately conveyed this order, and when he heard that he was going to attack the beastmaster, the catapults of the tiger army immediately changed their ammunition, from a burning stone ball to a ball of iron full of sharp thorns, and on it, there were also flames.
The stone balls scatter when they hit the ground, and are used against a large number of gluttonous soldiers, while against the small and elite Beastmaster and his guards, they require a more penetrating and concentrated iron ball.
The soldiers of the Eagle Army replaced their arrows one after another, lifting the huge arrow tower behind them, and the fine iron arrows with the thickness of their small arms on it were aimed at the sky, calculating the angle, and preparing to attack.
With the reduction of archers, the Tiger Army also sacrificed large knives, the Bear Army tied ropes, hung down from the mouth of the Great Wall, and stepped vertically on the outer edge of the Great Wall, ready to defend, and the Deer Army quickly replenished the gaps of each army, garrisoned with swords and shields.
This series of changes does not need detailed orders at all, because these things are all methods handed down by countless generations of Shadowless Forbidden Army with their own lives.
They train day and night, that is, they are training this kind of coordinated attack, so as to achieve this perfect state of no leakage in defense and no defects in attack.
On the ground that everyone couldn't see, at the bottom of a section of the city wall, Huo Ran removed a few bricks, and a trembling and fearful word came out of it.
"Xia, General Xia, you, are you really going? That gluttony from ...... What should I do if I come in from here......"
It's not that he's afraid, but this is the way to save people after the war, and this has just started the war, as long as he thinks that there is a group of gluttons outside, he is an iron man, and he has to break out in a cold sweat.
There was no light in the gap in the wall, and before the man could finish speaking, a deep male voice overshadowed him again:
"What nonsense, you'll plug the wall again when I'm gone. Move fast! ”
"Yes Yes ......"
As the two talked, the gap gradually widened, and Xia Jie dragged the big knife out of it.
