Chapter 76: Defensive Measures (I)
Chapter 76 Defensive Measures
Qin Han and the others rushed back to Hope City in the early hours of the morning on the third day.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that they were the fastest of the four raid squads to return. It turned out that the other three squads led by three to five Martial Saints each had very bad luck, and they happened to encounter the Shadow Leopard Transport Force! There was no choice but to bite the bullet, and the result was that the three troops encountered stubborn resistance, and the ambush did not achieve the desired effect, so they could only retreat!
However, the Shadow Leopard Group refused to let them leave safely at all, and they had been entangled with the three troops, and several martial saints were so violent that they could not retreat back to Hope City on time. In the unlikely event that they are surrounded by a large army of enemy supporters, it is very likely that these three elite raiding forces will be planted in the wilderness.
After another half a day or so, the other three teams finally rushed back, but their faces were not very good-looking, not to mention that they didn't intercept and kill more enemies, and they fell so wolf, it can be said that their faces were dull! Fortunately, there were no fatalities.
As soon as they returned to Hope City, they immediately began to recover the energy and energy in their bodies just like the Aurora team. It was at this time that an angry roar erupted from the alien army.
The Three Supremes had already learned of the heavy casualties of the transport forces, especially the main forces to the north, which had completely cut off the source of food.
It was precisely because of this ambush that the alien creatures did not attack Hope City for three days, which allowed the humans to seize the gap, and the warriors made full use of the time to hurry up and cultivate to recover, and the civilians then established defensive measures on the major city walls to strengthen the defensive strength of the city walls. Because in the first battle, they realized that the defensive effect of relying on the previous construction alone was really not very large, and it was completely fought by the warriors relying on their own strength.
The ravine in front of the city wall was even deeper, and there were more dense bone spurs inside, which were taken from the mutant creatures that had been killed before, and there were scattered traps around it. There are also many more arrow towers on the city walls, and although there is no metal to make arrows, there are countless corpses that can be used, and the bones of mutated creatures are dug up and polished to become sharp bone arrows.
The most exaggerated thing is that some of the older uncles actually used wood to make retro weapons - catapults! According to their words, it is 'pick some big stones, even if you smash them, you can kill a lot~! β
Boom!
Qin Han's door was kicked away again, and Xue Wuhuo rushed in in a hurry, grabbed Qin Han's arm who was cultivating and dragged him outside, "Come on, something big has happened!" β
"Sister Dance, what's the matter?"
"Don't ask, you'll know when you get to the city walls."
When Qin Han came to the city wall, everyone in the Aurora Hall was already there, even Long Lie, who had been sitting in the city and staring at the enemy's three supremes, also came.
Everyone's eyes were staring at the outside of the city, Qin Han followed inexplicably, and when he saw what was going on, his eyebrows raised slightly.
The reason was that he saw that in the distance, where the army of alien creatures was stationed, the sky was filled with dust, and countless mutated creatures were killing and biting each other!
"What's going on?" Qin Han asked puzzled.
Xiyu replied to him: "Not long ago, because of the lack of food sources, many alien creatures were dizzy with hunger, and they couldn't stand steadily, and some powerful people were about to can't help but attack their kind, if it weren't for the existence of the three supreme beings, they would have started killing each other a long time ago." However, in the end, there was really no way, and the three supremes could only order the high-level troops to eat the lowest level to alleviate the food problem this time. β
"It's a good feeling, if it goes on like this, can't we just wait and watch those beasts devour each other until finally their numbers are reduced to no match for us humans, then won't this war be our victory?" One of the captains of the Aurora Hall said happily.
Qin Han shook his head and said, "Wrong, this is not an opportunity for our human side, but a bigger crisis!" Maybe the three supremes have wanted to do this for a long time, and they are afraid of chilling their subordinates, so they just took advantage of the opportunity of this transport force to be annihilated by our sneak attack! β
"Boss, what you said is too profound, I don't understand!"
Qin Han continued: "I mean, the number of the other party is a hundred times and a thousand times that of ours, but the really powerful ones only account for about two-tenths, and the rest can be said to be used to fill the number, or used as cannon fodder, in the real fight, those lowest-level creatures can be said to be of little use." So this time, because of our reasons, there is no food source, which is just enough to fill the stomachs of those who are strong in combat and restore their combat effectiveness; Then you can reduce the mouth of eating a lot, killing two birds with one stone! So after those guys finish eating, they will definitely attack us as soon as possible, because although the food problem is temporarily solved, it is impossible for the three supremes to order each other to kill each other later, although there are many low-level alien creatures, but they can't withstand the appetite of high-level creatures! Therefore, they are still facing a lack of food, and only by breaking through Hope City in a short period of time can they devour humans to feed themselves, and they no longer need to consume the strength of their own troops in this way. β
At that moment, Qin Han ordered all the members of the Aurora Hall to be ready, and once the enemy stopped fighting, they would immediately be fully prepared for defense.
Really!
After the high-level alien creatures devoured the low-level counterparts, the alien creatures that recovered their bodies erupted into a tidal roar. Led by the SSS-class, the second attack on Hope City has been launched!
The scale of this attack was very huge, and as far as the eye could see, almost all the troops were dispatched, except for the strongest part of the main force that was originally in the rear, and the others were attacking in the direction of the northern city wall
"Whale Li, is it too exaggerated that you have troops in the field this time? That's tens of millions, and if we can't beat that city, the three of us won't be laughed to death! Heilin asked as he lay lazily on the ground, a circle of water swirling around him, clearing the dust from his surroundings.
Whale Li's drum-like voice replied: "I'm not reckless, don't look at the tens of millions of troops we sent are very huge, but if you really fight with humans, the best case is only a miserable victory, and humans are not as fragile as they seem on the surface." I don't believe that there are no strong men on the human side who can match the three of us, have you forgotten how my eyes are blind? β
"You're saying they might have a killer feature?!"
"Well, it's not possible, it's definitely there! If you don't come out now, I'm afraid you want to give us a fatal blow at the most critical time, human cunning is notoriously good, more than you! So I sent almost all the troops just to force out the real strength of the other party as soon as possible, otherwise the other party is in the dark, and the three of us are in the light, which always makes me feel uneasy! After Whale Li finished speaking, 'Bei Huang', who had not spoken from beginning to end, also shook his body, as if to say that he also agreed with the former's statement.
"Then it's up to you, if there is really the kind of situation you said, then we don't need to work too hard, and when the time comes, we will flash people in advance if we can't beat them. Anyway, we only came out of the bottom of the sea after receiving the benefits of those guys, and we don't need to really work hard for them, let them solve the difficulties themselves. Not~! I'll sleep for a while. Heilin closed his eyes and went to sleep, not caring at all about the Armageddon that was about to begin.
Whale Li didn't speak, but he sneered in his heart: "Hmph~!" We have already gotten on each other's boats, will they let us get down safely then, it's too naΓ―ve! When we decided to help them, we had no right to break away from them, whether we won or lost! β
The army of alien creatures is approaching, and the members of the Aurora Hall on the city wall are ready to fight, once the other party breaks through the barrier of the defenses, it will be up to them to resist the sea of enemies!
The alien creatures' attack this time was very disciplined, and they did not charge indiscriminately, but started with the lowest rank, and the highest rank pressed towards the city wall in the rear formation.
When they came to the first trap area, the enemies in the front row suddenly disappeared on the way to run, and the second row was still moving forward before they could react when they heard all kinds of screams coming from under their feet!
And then!
There was no more, and the second row also fell into the trap, and was pierced by the rock spurs
However, the number of enemies is too much, and countless traps are filled with the corpses of the opponent's front troops in a short period of time, and the latter ones easily step on the corpses of the former and cross this trap area safely!
In the subsequent moat, because of the poisonous poison in the river, many alien creatures who wanted to cross the river were poisoned to death, and large numbers of corpses floated on the river. It was only by relying on numbers that the river was covered to cross this line of defense.
I thought I could get close to the walls and slaughter those hateful humans.
As a result, a large rain of arrows fell from the head, and the bone spurs of different sizes were okay, and some of the mutated creatures with thick skin and dry skin in the front row could still be blocked, at most they became hedgehogs, and they were not life-threatening; But those zombies who are much weaker in defense are miserable, and they are directly shot with broken hands and feet!
The bone arrows are also mixed with some huge steel arrows made of metal! The power of these arrows is extremely great, those mutated creatures in the front row of the enemy who can just defend against bone arrows are directly shot out of a big hole after encountering steel arrows, and the castration of the arrows is still unabated, enough to shoot through seven or eight before stopping, as for the zombie clan, needless to say, the arrows thicker than their waists will turn them into a pile of minced meat as soon as they scratch them!
"Catapult ready, put ~!"
The antique weapon trebuchets on the city walls threw huge stones into the enemy army in waves, and the huge weight and strong falling force made a stone the size of a grinding disc as lethal as ten metal steel arrows.
Where did these stones come from?
These stones are the stones that I hope the residents of the city will donate their houses and tear down! In order to win this war, not only the warriors, but also the civilians can be said to have given everything!
