Chapter 472
Looking at the screams coming from more than a dozen places, as well as the figures of fierce beasts and people jumping up, Zhao Xu gradually frowned, the fierce beasts climbing the city really had a certain impact on the soldiers in the city, and they also destroyed the layout. It can be said that the role of the fierce beast has exceeded Zhao Xu's expectations, and after realizing that he was not well prepared to resist the fierce beast, Zhao Xu hurriedly ordered some of the generals next to him: "You guys quickly go and help them kill those fierce beasts." ”
"Yes," the generals next to them had changed from surprise just now to nervous, those fierce beasts were not as easy to deal with as they imagined, and the fierce beasts also destroyed the original layout of the city, not only messing up the placement of rolling wood and stones, but also making the archers in the city useless. If it can't be dealt with in time, the Wing Army will attack more easily.
After several generals left, Zhao Xu then thought that there should not be a redundant night army in the city according to death, but now the situation is chaotic and it is difficult for those foot soldiers to do it, so the problems in the city can only be solved by the people in the city.
"Bai Ye, you come to contain this fierce ape, and I and the others will attack from behind," while Zhao Xu was closely following the movements of the Wing Army, the fierce beast that was attacking Fang Qing and the others suddenly became ruthless. Picking up a rolling log and waving it back and forth at Fang Qing, Fang Qing and Bai Ye were so frightened that they didn't dare to approach this fierce beast at all.
Not far from them, many ordinary soldiers gathered together, pointing at the fierce beast in front of them with weapons in their hands, their faces nervous as if facing a majestic enemy general, they didn't dare to approach the fierce beast at all.
Similar situations can be seen everywhere in the city, and some soldiers even hide in the corners, facing the lifeless attacks of the fierce beasts, they would rather not be in the city at the moment. The only thing that calmed them down was that the people who came to deal with the fierce beasts were all famous people in the army, and the figure of Zhang Jiutian and the others was an incentive for them, and they could stabilize their emotions for the time being.
"Ah," a counterattack was too late, and a sixth-order martial cultivator was directly slapped on the abdomen by the giant palm of a fierce beast, and then flew upside down and flew over the battlement and fell under the city, life and death unknown.
"Fang Qing hurry up," the situation became more and more urgent, seeing that the fierce beast was so fierce, his eyes were staring at him fiercely, Bai Ye hurriedly shouted to Fang Qing behind the fierce beast.
On the other side, Fang Qing seized the opportunity and jumped up, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, and plunged into the back of the fierce beast at once, until the long sword was about to completely submerge into the body of the fierce beast.
The fierce beast was in pain, and its huge body turned violently, directly throwing Fang Qing down and hitting the city wall, causing Fang Qing to grin.
At the same time, the others saw that Fang Qing's attack was successful, and they stepped forward one by one, inserting their weapons into the body of the fierce beast one after another, ending the life of the fierce beast together.
"Fang Qing, are you okay?" After killing a fierce beast, the others hurriedly split up to help the others, while Bai Ye ran to Fang Qing, who hit the city wall and fell to the ground, looking at Fang Qing with a concerned expression.
"I'm fine," as soon as he finished speaking, Fang Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously hitting it lightly. The situation was urgent, and Bai Ye didn't have time to take care of Fang Qing.
"A few of you come over and help him down, a few of you throw the corpse of that fierce ape down," he shouted to the group of soldiers not far away, and Bai Ye hurriedly helped Fang Qing over.
"You go and help the others," After those soldiers supported him, Fang Qing immediately reminded Bai Ye.
"En," nodded, and Bai Ye quickly turned around and ran towards a scuffle next to him.
To deal with these fierce beasts, more people does not mean that the effect is good, but the situation with fewer people is not much better. Sometimes, a fierce beast grabs a night army as a weapon, and no matter how many people are attacking the beast, they are all afraid, and the scene is very embarrassing for a while.
Dozens of ferocious beasts stirred up the situation in the city more and more chaotically, and it was not until some generals joined in that the situation improved. The generals of the Night Army are all seventh-order martial cultivators, not to mention their own strength, they are far more experienced than Bai Ye in dealing with fierce beasts, and one person can solve a fierce beast in three strokes and two clicks.
The death rate of the beasts is getting faster and faster, and the corpses of those dead beasts are thrown down from the city by the soldiers, and order in the city is slowly being restored.
While the night army was busy dealing with the fierce beasts, Ruan Qiling and a group of generals watched quietly, they did not take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, because they were still waiting.
Not long after, the number of deaths of the fierce beast reached a certain level, and Ruan Qiling directly ordered, "Attack." ”
At the sound of an order, the winged army began to really move forward, and the siege vehicles were pushed forward by the soldiers. Having reached the range of the attack, the winged army prepared to storm the city.
Next to each siege vehicle is a commander who is in charge of the siege vehicle, and those commanders have received orders from the general above and are directing dozens of soldiers to attack the siege vehicle.
The soldiers moved quickly and orderly, from placing stones, to pulling ropes, to aiming, everything was very organized.
Not long after, the stones that were half a human size were thrown out by the stone throwers on the siege truck, and flew high towards the city.
"Knock knock," a drum beat from the city, followed by two heralds shouting, "ballista men ready to attack." ”
"Speed up," the wing army took advantage of the chaos to attack, which can be said to be within Zhao Xu's expectations, and it can also be said to be unexpected. Originally, Zhao Xu didn't expect that the role of those fierce beasts would be so great, and it would cause chaos in the city for a while, but Zhao Xu thought that the Wing Army might take advantage of this to attack, so now the behavior of the Wing Army will make Zhao Xu have two feelings.
The siege vehicles of the wing army had already been used, and there was no time to think about it, Zhao Xu knew that he had to solve the troubles in the city as soon as possible and let the soldiers be deployed.
Now the situation in the city is very unfavorable for them because of the beasts, especially since many soldiers are exposed to the attack area of the catapult.
After Zhao Xu gave the order, those ballistae received the order, and one by one they hurriedly returned to their original positions, pulling the ballistas to aim at the siege vehicles and shoot directly.
Siege engines are stationary and relatively easy to hit, but the power of ballistas will be reduced when fired more than 100 meters, and sometimes a single bolt will not destroy a siege vehicle.
"Knock, knock, knock," the stones fell from the sky and fell on the walls, and the stones themselves were torn apart, and the bricks that had been piled up on the walls were also broken. Now is the time to test the sturdiness of the walls, many of the night soldiers have taken refuge against the walls, but there are still some who have been directly or indirectly hit by falling stones or rubble. The loud crash was mixed with the screams of some soldiers.
Many of the Night Legions had just returned from the chaos caused by the beasts, and now they were being attacked by siege engines, which was a blow to them both physically and mentally. Because of the fear of being hit by rocks, the morale of the night army in the city weakened again.
At the same time, the night army that had been guarding the city all knew that the enemy army was attacking the city at this moment, and they did not know the specific situation on the city below, but those fierce beasts just now and the flying stones now had been impacting their will.
In particular, the constant flow of wounded soldiers in the city affected the mood of many night soldiers, but they could not do anything until they received orders from above.
At the same time, in the City of West Wind, Right received a message from the royal family a little earlier than Zhao Xu, of course, some of the content was different from that sent to the army. What the Right Prime Minister has to do now is to reassure people and ensure that everything is normal in Zephyr City. In order to ensure the normalcy of Zephyr City, it is natural to guard the palace first.
The army that Lan Feng had left behind before was now all staying in the palace to protect the safety of the right minister and Princess Lan Xin. After Lan Feng left, Princess Lan Xin was naturally in charge of the palace. With the right phase here, Princess Lan Xin doesn't need to do anything, just stay in the palace.
"Sister Princess, is there any news from the windless city?" At this moment, Sugar Treasure, Sugar Coat, and Princess Lan Xin were sitting on the steps, looking at the sky with worried expressions.
"The right minister said that there is no news for the time being, but there will be news soon, let's wait," Princess Lan Xin looked worried, and was very worried in her heart whether the night army could agree, and whether Lan Feng and Lin Xuanzhong would be safe and sound.
"Sister Princess, do you say that Brother Lin can win the army of the Wing Country?" asked for specific information, Sugar Bao wanted to ask something else, otherwise the three of them would be too bored to be silent all the time.
"I don't know," Princess Lan Xin's face became even more worried at the mention of this question. Originally, Princess Lan Xin was very confident that the Night Army would defeat the Wing Army, but after learning about the current situation in the Night Country and the news of the private union of those families in the Snow Country, Princess Lan Xin became more and more worried.
Not only worried about the victory or defeat of the war, but also worried about the safety of the personnel, since Lin Xuanzhong left, Princess Lan Xin has been very worried, and wants to know whether Lin Xuanzhong is doing well in the army, but all the news is unknown.
"Brother Lin, they have their own natural appearance, and nothing will happen, and now there is no news coming, which means that Brother Lin and they are all fine," Seeing that Princess Lan Xin showed a worried look, Sugar Coating
Hurry up and comfort Princess Lan Xin.
"Sister Princess, what if Brother Lin and they can't come back?" It's just that the words of Sugar Bao below make Sugar Coat's comfort ineffective.
"I don't know," Princess Lan Xin shook her head helplessly, thinking in her heart that if the Night Army was defeated, they would only have to escape from the Snow Country as soon as possible, and they couldn't imagine the situation at that time, so Princess Lan Xin would rather say that she didn't know. In any case, Sugar Baby's problem made Princess Lan Xin even more worried about Lin Xuanzhong's safety.
The palace was quiet, but the windless city was in full swing, and the movement of the battle between the two armies at the city pass had already attracted the attention of many city residents. The Wing Army came to conquest the Night Army and said that it was to help them retake the country, but these civilians were very afraid of the Night Army, and under the two contradictory emotions, they did not dare to help the Wing Army, so they could only hold a wait-and-see attitude.
It has been a while since the wing army has been attacking the city with siege vehicles, and the city wall several hundred meters long has been smashed into tatters by falling stones. Some of the battlements were completely flattened, injuring many night soldiers and dampening the spirit of the night army.
