058 Odd Soldier (6)
The news of his invasion of the demonic western front spread with a plague of speed. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Now the demons are panicking, and everyone is nervously preparing for war.
The sun set, and the dark night swamp level exposed the black outer wall, which looked like a crouching giant beast in the night, and the countless swords, guns, and halberds on the city wall were the sharp teeth and minions of this black giant beast.
When Mu Qingyang led the army to the city wall of the Night Swamp Checkpoint, the city was already heavily guarded. Although the left-behind camp has been broken, as an important pass in the rear, there are still a large number of demons distributed in the Night Swamp level.
Mu Qingyang only has 20,000 people, and he is deep in the hinterland of the Demon Legion's fallen area, if he is intercepted by the demon's reinforcements, then Mu Qingyang will definitely be defeated.
The roar of the Earth Demon Crystal cannon pierced the oppressive silence. The fierce firelight shook the dark night swamp in the night, the whole earth shook, the dust on the beams fell, and the tea sets and chopsticks on the table also maintained a high frequency of vibration in the vibration.
Under the power of such a terrifying power, the low-level demons were terrified in their hearts, but the dark night swamp was empty at the moment, and only the occasional night patrol demons and the convoy transporting the city's baggage land passed by on the road. The Night Swamp was built on a plain dozens of miles outside the exit, and not so long ago, it was a wasteland. Los spared no manpower to cut down a city on this wasteland as quickly as possible. Although there is no danger here, and the Night Swamp is also a lonely city, the demon spends a lot of manual drainage from the swamp, and the moat full of methane gas is inexhaustible all year round.
The black sewage river is up to 30 meters wide and easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are only two gates here, which form an arc to enclose the abyss passage.
If Mu Qingyang wants to end the battle as soon as possible, he must find a place to take risks, after all, he only has 20,000 blood guard cavalry, and if he dies, he will have one less. The only thing that is in his favor at the moment is that this is a lonely city, as long as he is given time, he can take it sooner or later.
He must fight a time gap with Loth, who is rushing back with his large army, and can only take the initiative by taking the Night Swamp before he does.
When it was dark, Mu Qingyang instructed the soldiers of the Demon Crystal Artillery Battalion to start the first round of harassment from the Demon Crystal Artillery Artillery Cannon Department and four hundred meters outside the south gate of the Night Swamp.
Mu Qingyang looked at the city wall in the distance, although the power of the magic crystal cannon was quite huge, but attacking the night swamp in this way, I am afraid that the amount of spars consumed was an astonishing amount.
Mu Qingyang's own ammunition was not enough, and it was too difficult to find a large number of spars in this place, so he still had to rely on cold weapons to solve the problem. The magic crystal cannon can be used, but it is by no means the difference between victory and defeat. One after another, the cannonballs exploded on the city wall, looking amazingly powerful, but the solidity of the black stone ground and the thickness of the city wall were beyond Mu Qingyang's imagination, and after firing more than ten rounds in a row, only dozens of shallow marks of all sizes were left on the city wall. Mu Qingyang commanded the soldiers to stop the attack.
"Pause, moss every half hour instead." After handing over the command of the front line to his subordinates, Mu Qingyang led the Blood Guard cavalry to sneak upstream along the moat with several cannons. The river in the dark night swamp rushes all year round, and if you want to attack the city, you must cut off the water source.
Thirty miles upstream of the swamp there was a very narrow estuary, the river was so fast, and the cliffs on both sides were steep, and it was very difficult to wade through the river, and there was only one way to think of breaking the flow - that is, to blow up the cliffs.
Of course, if Mu Qingyang didn't have artillery, all this would be delusional.
After finding a suitable spot on the cliff face, Mu Qingyang asked the soldiers to light the artillery fuse, and with the fierce firelight, it exploded violently, and the entire cliff collapsed on one side. The gravel fell into the river, choking the raging river, and after a lot of efforts in the middle of the night, by the wee hours of the morning, the river was completely blocked.
The water flow that has lost its source gradually dries up.
After a night of harassment, when Mu Qingyang rushed back to the Dark Night Swamp to close the city again. Smoke billowed from the entire city, and the moat outside the city was cut off, revealing wooden stakes under the river. The blood guards finally waited for Mu Qingyang to come back, just waiting for him to give the order to attack the city.
Mu Qingyang said: "There are already scouts coming to report, Los has rushed back, and is rushing here, the army will arrive in two days at most, if we can't break the city by then, we can only break through."
Mu Qingyang shook his head slightly: "If we can't take the Night Swamp tonight, we will break through immediately." ”
The constant harassment has been like a thick cloud pressing on the head of the Night Swamp, and under the attack of the magic crystal artillery, the entire Night Swamp is like a white rat that has been scurrying in a cage for a day, and all the demons are exhausted.
Night.
After deploying the battle plan again, Mu Qingyang disappeared into the night like a wisp of smoke. There was no rushing moat, Mu Qingyang walked casually under the city wall. The impregnable dark night swamp could stop the army's footsteps, but it couldn't stop people like Mu Qingyang.
Finding a safe corner, Mu Qingyang took out a rope from his arms, threw it at the city wall to fix it, and slowly climbed up along the city wall.
Groups of demon soldiers were patrolling the city wall, the sound of explosions was still there, and the magic crystal cannon itself did not cause damage, but his own deterrent power was really huge for many low-level demons.
Mu Qingyang saw the vicious faces become frightened, tired, nervous and distorted.
Hiding in the shadow of the city tower, Mu Qingyang saw a burly giant wearing black giant armor and holding a two-handed giant sword, he was standing on the highest platform of the city wall, a pair of bright eyes and his own majestic momentum showed his extraordinary, and his gesture of command made Mu Qingyang sure that this person was the leader of the Dark Night Swamp.
Pinching the handle of the sword in his hand, Mu Qingyang suppressed his desire to assassinate and quietly blended into the city.
In the night, a flash of fire rushed into the sky in the city, it was a rocket.
From a distance, he saw that the blood guards in the direction of the rocket stood up suddenly, with excited and hideous expressions on their faces, and the two thousand soldiers who followed him were all dressed in black night suits, with crossbows and curved swords pinned to their waists.
"The general has succeeded, let's go!"
At the same time, the artillery fired more violently at the city walls, and suddenly many places in the city began to catch fire, and the inexplicable fire broke out, causing the slaves who were on the verge of nervous collapse to pour into the streets. Meanwhile. The light of thousands of torches at the south gate dazzled the eyes of the Night Swamp Demon.
Shuttle ...... Hundreds of flying ropes flew towards the city wall at the same time, and only some demons had already been cleaned up by Mu Qingyang.
With the help of the zipline, more and more Thunder Beast Iron Rider Blood Guards climbed the city wall.
The demons began to run in this direction, but they were greeted by a sky of crossbow arrows. These crossbow arrows are not fast and powerful, but they can fire five arrows in a row. Even a salvo of only a hundred people in a small place like the city wall is terrifying.
Mu Qingyang no longer kept it, and took out the Lulu sword and rushed towards the city gate, the sword light swayed in the dark night, bringing up countless brilliant blood flowers.
Mu Qing raised the tiger into the flock, and under his leadership, the most elite soldiers of the Blood Guard Cavalry had an obvious advantage in hand-to-hand combat.
Several rockets flew into the sky and exploded, and the army that received the signal sounded the horn of the general attack. Mu Qingyang had already reached the city gate.
The huge gate of the city towers, and on one side of the river is two large stone pillars hanging from the huge suspension bridge, and there is a row of stone ballasting machines on the city wall. The plane was full of rocks, and it was firing boulders at the attacking army outside the city.
The group of people led by Mu Qingyang had already attracted the great attention of the demons when they arrived here. The godemons on the city walls did not believe that these rabble could kill here, and under his command, they shot crossbows like locusts on both sides.
In front of Mu Qingyang's arrow, the blood hunting light flashed, and the heads of the three gangs flew into the air, and then flashed, and three more archers pulled half of the bowstring and broke, and the other demons attacked wildly with their spears and swords, but they were slashed by him with swords and blood splashed, and they fell away.
His movement at a high altitude made those flying arrows completely lose their crosshairs, and under a few folds, he was only ten meters away from the big winch next to the door, the winch was more than two meters in diameter, divided into two layers, each layer was covered with a thick rope, and the thick push rod on it required more than ten people to use force at the same time to turn the bearing.
Mu Qingyang's bravery was beyond all the demons' imagination, in their stunned eyes, slashing and slashing, those demons were like paper paste, and when they killed under the winch, the low-level demons who were seized by his momentum retreated in horror.
Mu Qingyang raised his sword and slashed, the thick iron chain burst into all directions, and the entire city gate also trembled at this time, and the soldiers outside the gate had already crossed the moat and began to hit the door with sasswood, and the war entered a white-hot stage.
Like a thunderbolt roar in the clear sky, the demon general finally arrived, and his tall body swooped down, as powerful as the sun and the rainbow.
Mu Qingyang avoided its edge, jumped back, bypassed the huge winch, and easily cut over two more soldiers, the demon will swing the big sword like a mad tiger, turning into an impenetrable mess, but Mu Qingyang, who has always been brave, has become a mouse this time, swimming around the huge winch, and not a sword is hard connected with the other party, the demon will taboo the winch can not use marksmanship, Mu Qingyang is even more casual and relaxed, from time to time he also cut a sword or two on the chain, as the chain gap is getting bigger and bigger, the demon general roars in frustration: "Coward." ”
Mu Qingyang smiled, didn't answer, and took this opportunity to slash three swords in a row on the gap in the iron chain, and with a ding, the fine iron chain as thick as an arm broke, the city gate crashed, and the gravel and dust on the wall fell one after another!
"The door is falling!" I don't know who shouted such a sentence on the city wall, like a raging wind raging across the entire battlefield.
The two worlds inside and outside the city, one side is miserable, and the other is fanatical.
Mu Qingyang alone resisted most of the attacking forces at the city gate, and on the city tower was the blood guards blocking most of the attacks, trying to attract firepower to reduce casualties outside the city. No matter how angry and unwilling the demon general was, he could only watch as the gate where the winch was destroyed was smashed open by the army.
After the drawbridge fell, the Blood Guard swept in like a raging wind.
The tide is over.
"Kill!"
Several of the Blood Guards roared and smashed the heads of the soldiers who were blocking them. In the blood fountain spray, the cavalry horses' hooves trampled, like wolves and tigers, the killing nature was exposed, a pair of fierce eyes in the dark night, and in the wild laughter, rows of silver bright teeth opened up and down. The sword bent into the flesh, making a tooth-aching sound, the bones cracked, and the armor clashed.
The hacked demon screamed and fell. Two rows rained down on arrows, and the corpses of enemy soldiers were spread all over the ground in front of the formation. At this time, the torches fell to the ground due to the crowding, and the front of the position was plunged into darkness. The demons on the walls began to shoot arrows downward, smashing boulders. Splash boiling oil.
The cavalry who rushed to the front were stoned to death by boulders, and the oil was scorched, but as long as there was still a breath, these savage Shura would rush forward and pounce on them without dying.
The Shura soldiers, whose whole bodies were scorched with boiling oil, rolled on the ground with demons in their arms, their teeth digging into their throats, blood gushing out, and their charred faces lifted. Blood was dripping from between the mouths. Then another soldier rushed up and cut off the man's head. But then, more horses' hooves trampled over. On one side are outlaws, and on the other hand, there are demons who have lost their confidence, and you can imagine what the situation of the battle is.
The thunderous roar seemed to fill the entire space, engulfing all sounds, and the eardrums were filled with this overwhelming noise, and the demon army under the ground made a dying resistance.
Frantic laughter filled the air, and the demons looked at each other in horror. Mu Qingyang looked at the almost crazy Shura with complicated eyes, and there seemed to be another one in his heart who was struggling.
The drawbridge was lowered, and a large number of Shura blood guards poured into the city. All the demons of the Night Swamp were captured and temporarily imprisoned in the prison of Midtown, and on the way, there were demons who tried to escape or resist, and all of them were killed on the spot.
Taking down the Night Swamp was much easier than Mu Qingyang imagined, he originally thought that he would need a fierce battle, but he didn't expect to get the Night Swamp so easily.
He overestimated the demon's determination, in fact, at this time, none of the Abyss Clansmen, who had been coerced into coming, were willing to give up their lives for anything.
This is war, and it also makes Mu Qingyang understand the nature of demons a little more. He left everything to the Blood Guards, and rode out of the city on his own nightmare, breathless from the oppressive mania that filled the city. has always been a confrontation on the battlefield, Mu Qingyang has long been accustomed to blood, and it is the same all the way, but when he arrives in the dark night swamp, he really faces a torment.
At this point, the war is no longer the duel he imagined, it has become completely crazy, looking at the killing blood guard cavalry, as long as the enemy dares to resist, the slaughter of the city seems to be a casual thing. This made him wonder if his purpose was to help Moru control Shura, to take revenge, or to direct a good show of human suffering.
It was a hectic and tense night, the fire in the city was finally extinguished, and by the dawn the whole place had returned to tranquility, at least on the surface.
When the Abyss Demon King Loth walked through the garrison camp, all he saw was a cloud of ashes.
The entire camp was burned to the ground, not a single grain or sword remained. The various fortifications of the remaining battalions were completely destroyed. What made the Abyss Demon King Los so angry that he almost vomited blood was that in the gray-black remnants, there was a burning nightmare flag waving in the wind on the flagstand. This kind of naked provocation, the city of Rose will definitely be silent, but the monstrous anger hidden under the calm cannot be erased, the Abyss Demon King Los ordered the soldiers to put down the flag, he did not destroy the flag, but stored it. This flag will become a mark of shame, reminding him to ask Mu Qingyang for revenge.
After a short rest, the Demon King Los ordered the Demon Legion to march towards the Night Swamp...... (To be continued.) )
