Chapter 274: Fortified Walls
It is true that Longzhai is divided into three parts, this is a historical problem, Zhang Jun did not take into account the need to meet the enemy's large-scale invasion in Africa, so Longzhai is now divided into three, resulting in insufficient concentration of defensive forces, so when Allosaurus and Dafeilongzhai are attacked, the other two Longzhai can not rush to the aid with all their might, what they can do is to send the Flying Dragon team, as well as provide logistical supplies, once their people open the gate of the wall, it is easy to be attacked, so they must stay in the city and stick to the city tower.
Balam is not stupid, he did not order people to besiege the three dragon villages, but prepared to concentrate on attacking the dragon villages of the Allosaurus, which is a more suitable tactic to concentrate superior forces to attack at one point.
Zhang Jun's pressure is indeed relatively large, there is only one third of the Allosaurus team in Longzhai, and there is also a big flying dragon team, a flying dragon team, a logistics detachment, and a flying dragon team, which can only hold on, but cannot effectively adopt offensive strategies.
However, Zhang Jun also has an ironclad army, which is a trump card that he can rely on, which can play a certain role at a critical moment to repel the enemy's attack.
Zhang Jun's strategy is very simple, that is, to wear down the enemy's personnel little by little, so that they pay a certain number of casualties every day, and when their number is reduced to a certain size, it is the moment when the dinosaur team counterattacks, and now it is necessary to rely on the solidity of the dragon village to protect the safety of the clansmen, and it is the most suitable strategy to be trapped and not able to defend.
And Balaam's people are worried about being attacked by the flying dragon, so they must attack the dragon village desperately, otherwise their people will be reduced one by one and die in the hands of the flying dragon's weapon, so the attacker is very impatient at this time, Zhang Jun needs to seize this point and give them the heaviest blow.
Then Balam led people around, observed the walls of the dragon village, and found that they were sealed everywhere, just a city gate, Balam sent a team of people, with a shield to run under the city wall, to try to push open the city gate, but it turned out that it could not be pushed at all, not only the city gate was very thick, but also there were huge stones inside to block, it was impossible to push open, even if the giant came, there was no way.
After thinking about it, Balam had to ask people to go to the jungle and cut down trees, and as long as there were enough big trees, they could still climb them by leaning against the walls, or by thick trunks.
However, Zhang Jun had already thought of this hand, as soon as Ballam's people set off to the jungle and cut down trees with tools, the flying dragons had already followed, harassing and attacking them, preventing them from successfully carrying the trees again and again, and the tug-of-war between the two sides began again.
In the sky, the flying dragons were patrolling and flying in batches, attacking from time to time, causing great casualties to Baram's people, and the flying dragons became more and more skilled in attacking technology, and the use of weapons became more and more skilled, so the damage caused to the other party was also getting bigger and bigger, and Balam had to endure the loss of his own people.
In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, Balam finally gathered more than thirty big trees in front of the dragon village, and when night fell, Ballam's people did not plan to take a truce, they were ready to try to storm the city wall before dark, because at night, in order to avoid the attack of the dragons, they would hide in the jungle, so that they could be safer.
Balaam was ready to storm the walls from the front, because it was the closest to the gates, and if he could get in, he could open the gates inside, and then the large army would be able to attack them.
"Attack!" With Baram's order, a large number of sword tigers and humans began to hold shields in one hand and pull the big trees in the other to approach the city wall.
At this time, the bow and arrow had limited shooting power for them, and only the big bow and arrow of the Allosaurus had lethal power against them, so Zhang Jun had already taken the Allosaurus team and began to draw the bow to prepare the enemy to shoot when he reached the range, and they were also ready to use weapons to cut down those big trees at any time.
Zhang Jun stood on the city tower, looking at the black pressure below a large area of enemy troops, he looked resolute, pulled the bow in his hand, the enemy soldier's big tree dragged up a cloud of dust, approached the city wall, and all the Allosaurus beside him were ready.
The enemy got closer and closer, and then only Zhang Jun was heard shouting: "Shoot! "A dozen sharp arrows with a foot-long iron arrow roared out and shot at the enemy soldiers.
Zhang Jun's arrow was aimed at an enemy soldier who was at the front, and the enemy soldier blocked his body with his shield with his left hand, and pulled a branch with his right hand, and cooperated with others to pull the trunk of the tree with more branches forward.
With a "poof", Zhang Jun's sharp arrow shot into the shield, pierced the shield, and went deep into the human person's head at once, only to see a piece of blood shining, and the guy immediately fell to the ground.
"Keep shooting." Sharp arrows fell from the sky and shot at the enemy soldiers, who fell to the ground one by one and let out a terrible scream.
The shouts of their own and the enemy drowned out the whistling sound, but the arrows were still firing forward, and one by one Balaam replenished them, and continued to pull the trees forward, and after ten minutes, they approached the city wall, began to lift the tree with force, and then leaned against the wall.
At first, some sword tigers tried to climb up, but they were immediately fired at by the Leaping Dragon archers, who sent them back with sharp arrows.
Seeing his own trees leaning against the wall, Balam immediately ordered the large army to rush forward, and the enemy soldiers rushed forward with black shouts and cries.
Zhang Jun stood on the city wall, had already put down his bow and arrows, and replaced it with his own long knife, and he did not order the Allosaurus to immediately cut down the big trees leaning against the wall, because he had long wanted to see Balaam's people approaching.
"Almost, the Wyvern Clans are attacking." Zhang Jun began to carry out the plan he had in mind, and immediately commanded.
A large group of wyverns hidden behind the city walls began to fly up, and they were divided into several groups this time, and a large number of them were carrying new things, which were neither weapons nor burning branches, but bundles of thatch, which Zhang Jun had prepared for a long time to deal with Balaam's men.
Because the people of Balam were not concentrated enough before, this way of fire attack against them was obviously not effective in the wilderness, but now they are all concentrated around Longzhai, and there are about 5,000 enemy soldiers gathered in front of them, so this fire attack is the best moment.
Then Balaam's people saw that the wyverns suddenly killed again, this time there were about six or seven hundred wyverns, all of them carrying some things, and Balaam thought that they were carrying weapons again, and immediately shouted for their people to be careful.
But then Balam was surprised to notice that a group of wyverns had begun to scatter strange things underneath.
"What's that?" When the thatch fell to the ground, they hit the enemy soldier with neither pain nor itching, and Baram exclaimed.
Bull and Hulin also saw that the weapon dropped by the wyvern was different, this time it was soft thatch, and at first they didn't know what it was, but then they thought about what the wyvern was going to do, but their besiegers had already rushed to the front, and it was too late to return.
Sure enough, then a Wyvern team flew out with more than a hundred burning fire sources, and at this time hundreds of thatched piles had been put down, and the fire sources fell down one by one, igniting the thatch all over the ground, and soon there were fires everywhere, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the Wyvern was still throwing thatch down to increase fuel.
"What to do, those guys are burning our people with fire again, our people are too concentrated now, they will be burned to death." Hu Lin said worriedly with a frown.
"These dinosaurs are so hateful, we're going to rush to the stone wall, we can't give up, let them attack me." Although Balam was anxious, they did not want to see their victory ruined, so they had worked hard to put the big tree on the city wall, and if they had to retreat at this time, all the efforts they had made today would be in vain.
Groups of enemy soldiers were still rushing forward, and then the fire became bigger and bigger, and the flying dragon blocked their retreat, and threw more and more thatch around them, and the fire became more and more intense, and many enemy soldiers were on fire, lying on the ground and rolling back and forth, screaming again and again.
A group of enemy soldiers began to climb the trunk of the tree, giving Balam hope, but they were immediately shot down by bows and arrows, or picked off by the long knives of the Allosaurus.
Zhang Jun saw that the time was almost up, so he immediately ordered the Allosaurus team to fight hard to cut down the big tree, and then dozens of big trees were slowly cut down, and the few enemy soldiers who climbed the city wall were also immediately surrounded and annihilated, and the enemy had to wait and see under the city, unable to move forward.
"Retreat!" Seeing that his efforts had come to naught, Baram immediately shouted in dismay.
The enemy soldiers began to run back in flames, but the fire was fierce in many places, and many of the enemy soldiers began to fall to the ground, and some ran back from the fire.
There was a burst of meat smell from under the city wall, which was the smell of burnt offspring of the flesh on the corpses of enemy soldiers, and Zhang Jun's people began to cheer on the city wall.
"Dead Sword Tiger, Human, get back."
"A bunch of wild seeds, go back to your hometown."
……。
Zhang Jun's soldiers shouted loudly on the city wall, and the enemy soldiers fled with their tails between their legs, and at night, Balam had to take them to the jungle under the cover of large trees for the night, because there, the weapons of the flying dragon were blocked by the branches, and it was not easy to project down, and the effect was not good.
The next day's battle ended in a tug-of-war between the two sides, the real battle had not yet begun, Zhang Jun knew that the most difficult moment was still a few days ahead, tomorrow was the critical moment, if the city wall could be held, the number of enemies would be greatly reduced, and the day after tomorrow they would not have much strength to attack the city, and then it would be the time for Zhang Jun to consider a counterattack.
Balaam lost about a thousand men, made no progress, and is still unable to move an inch today, except for the capture of the fortress.
Before they came, they didn't expect that the weapons and fortresses of the dinosaur clan would develop to such an advanced point, if there were no walls and fortresses to block them, Balam would be able to have a close battle with the dinosaur clan at the cost of a thousand people at most, and at this time, after paying two-thirds of the price, they still couldn't have a real Armageddon with the other party.
This made Ballam, Bull, and Hulin very distressed, they had already underestimated the strength of the enemy, they could not imagine the number of opponents ten times, and after a year of full preparation, they still could not shake the territory of the dinosaur clan, which made them already have a strong sense of loss and frustration, and there was a world of difference from the high spirits when they first came.
Balam ordered the number of people to be counted in the jungle, and apart from the soldiers who were abandoned and unable to fight, the number of people Balaam could gather was only about six thousand, which made him extremely depressed.
In the jungle, the three of them have been thinking about countermeasures, and finally the three of them unanimously decided that they would continue to attack the city the next day, and they must attack the city, and they decided to send the giants immediately after the soldiers attacked the city walls, so that the giants could rush into the city and open the city gates, only by opening the city gates, they could pay the least sacrifice and achieve victory.
After the strategy was formulated, Balam slept peacefully, and some of his soldiers were still trying to cut down trees, because they needed more trees to climb the city wall, and they took a lot of effort to cut down hundreds of trees that night, which gave Balaam a little more confidence.
At night, Zhang Jun and several ancestors rested for a while, and after the early hours of the morning, they began to get up again, patrolling around, and discussing tomorrow's countermeasures by the way, the intensity of the battle in the past few days was very high, so many soldiers were lying on the ground and asleep, and some soldiers were still patrolling the city walls and the sky.
Feilong's combat missions in the past few days are the heaviest, and they are the hardest, so Zhang Jun ordered them to start resting as soon as they enter the night, and they will not go to attack Balam's people tonight, because they are really a little unable to stay up, their wings and thighs are very sore, and they must rest completely for the night, and by tomorrow, they can't have the same high-intensity attendance as the previous two days, otherwise their bodies will really not be able to bear it.
Fei Ge was also very tired, and went back to the house to sleep, Zhang Jun and Qili stayed in the dragon village of the Allosaurus, and the two of them looked at the stars in the sky from the city tower, and their mood was still complicated.
"Qili, we have experienced hundreds of millions of years of history, to this day, the living environment is getting worse and worse, think that we were the bullies that everyone feared, the sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, rampant on the earth, now there are people who can threaten our survival, and the future will be more difficult and hard." Zhang Jun said meaningfully.
Qili gently leaned next to Zhang Jun's body, looked up at the sky in the distance, and said calmly: "Back then, the fierce beasts on the earth were rampant, but they couldn't make us afraid, and now these dwarf humans and sword tigers can actually threaten our safety, and the earth is no longer the earth it used to be." ”
"That's right, in the future, intelligent beings will develop rapidly, their technology will also improve, and when the time comes, the earth will be even more chaotic, and we must make long-term plans and arrangements." Zhang Jun continued.
Zhang Jun paused slightly, and then suddenly said: "I once thought that if one day, we can also fly to the sky and kill enemies everywhere, if there is such a day, it will be a happy thing." ”
After listening to Zhang Jun's words, Qili smiled slightly, her smile was very tranquil, as if she was just talking about private matters under the moon today, and she forgot about the battle situation in front of her for a while.
"How is that possible, we don't have wings, we can fly around like Feige, we can only run on the ground, we can never go to the sky." Qili said with a chuckle.
Zhang Jun shook his head and said: "Then you are wrong, one day, our intelligent descendants of the dinosaur clan will invent an airplane that can fly in the sky, this kind of aircraft can carry us to the sky, fly across the ocean, fly over the grassland, fly over the desert, fly anywhere we want to go, and one day we will fly out of the earth and fly to the moon." ”
"Airplanes, is there really such a thing, we can still fly to the moon, if there is such a day, it would be great, then we can go wherever we want, no place can bind us, free and easy, how good it would be." Qili said with a rare innocent smile.
In Qili's heart, Zhang Jun's words have very important weight, because Zhang Jun has predicted the evolution direction of the earth's creatures many times, including the development of wisdom and tools, and he has also gained the ability to extend their lifespan, in the heart of the dinosaur clan, his ancestral god is no longer a god in the ordinary sense, but a real god, a true god who can foresee the future.
So when Zhang Jun talked about airplanes, Qili immediately began to get excited, because Zhang Jun would not talk nonsense easily, and most of the things he said were foreseeable.
Zhang Jun stretched out his palm, gently patted Qili's shoulder and back a few times, stroked it gently, and then said softly: "Qili, believe me, one day, I will take you and our children in the future, fly to the moon, and set up a new home there, so that the war will never affect us and our children." ”
"That's great, I'm looking forward to that day, how far is it, will it take another 100 million years to get there?" Her beautiful eyes blinked like stars, and she opened her mouth slightly, asking softly.
"100 million years is too long, I want to achieve it in a few hundred years, what do you think?" Zhang Jun shook his head and chuckled.
"Hundreds of years, so fast, is this true?" Qili couldn't believe her eyes, because they had lived for more than 100 million years, and they were still living a life of drinking blood, just imagine how long it would take to make a magical tool that flew into the sky.
"Rest assured, we now have the intelligent offspring Leap Dragon and Wyvern, as well as the red-eyed dragon and tree dragon that are about to join, as long as under my leadership, let them go in the right direction of growth, in a few hundred years, I have the confidence to let them create unimaginable technology, this day I have always been looking forward to." Zhang Jun met Qili's puzzled gaze and explained.
Zhang Jun and Qili forgot about the war for a while, and began to imagine the future, in this autumn night, Zhang Jun began to imagine a new world, because this world needs him to transform too much, he must become the master of the world, not suffer from the threat of aliens like today.
"Qili, wait for this day, I will definitely let the earth run according to my will, all races must obey my orders, I want to be the overlord of the world."
"Humans, Sword Tigers, you clowns, I think you can still dance for a few days." Zhang Jun shouted softly into the distance. (To be continued.) )
