CHAPTER XXIII

The dark night is the most terrifying, the horror is the blurred vision, and the even more terrifying thing is that the night is the world of monsters. Fortunately, a trench was set up in front, which caused a certain hindrance to some wild beasts.

General Li, tell to go down, the pikemen under the city, get ready, this is a small herd of beasts, there is no need to attack with fire, there are very few who can come under the city wall, as long as you kill it with a spear, let the archers prepare, and you must not shoot the bow and arrow without an order.

Yes, not as ordered.

The Lancers, all ready to fight, all crossed the moat, and killed not a single one on the spot.

Be.....

As time passed, there were already dotted beasts running towards the moat, but no matter what color the demon beast was, at this time the demon beast was covered with fire oil, and when they saw the moat, some of the demon beasts hesitated.

But the beast behind the brake can't get out of the car, and directly hit the monster in front of it directly into the moat, where the monster is constantly fluttering, but as more and more monsters run over, it has caused a stampede, and some small beasts are trampled to death by large monsters such as tigers and leopards, black bears, or hit the moat and drown.

But it doesn't mean that there are no wild beasts breaking through the moat, there are constantly wild beasts entering the moat, and they are constantly swimming to the other side of the river, and by the moonlight and firelight, I see that wild beasts have begun to land on the shore, mostly leopards, tigers and other large beasts.

A corps commander saw that a wild beast had come ashore, and immediately roared, all the soldiers paid attention, the beast had come ashore, the spear was ready, all the sergeants were not allowed to cross the horse to kill the enemy, prepare... Start killing.

Be.... Roaring all over the sky, with the sound of puff and puff, there are constantly demon beasts stabbed to death under the spear, and some even hang directly on the rejection of the horse, and some of them ran along the gap in front of the rejection of the horse, but the rejection of the horse was personally tried by the old marquis.

Therefore, even if you cross the first lane, you will definitely be blocked by the second lane, and even if you cross the second lane, then there is a third lane waiting for you, so the guards in front of you are quite easy to kill.

Because there are not many beasts assigned to their side, 5 people and 5 spears stab forward together, for this beast now, it is slaughter, the beast must not have a demon beast, so there is a certain amount of wisdom, and even the defense is not so high, many are jumping up is not enough to resist the horse high and be stabbed to death.

Blood splattered, and everywhere was filled with the roars of wild beasts, and the roars of the sergeants below.

Yes... My arm..... Stand down, we'll come

A little careless was slapped on the arm by a storm leopard, and it looked like it should have been fractured, and then the storm leopard crossed the barrier, jumped inside and ran to the horse behind, and ran sideways, very difficult.

Everyone be careful, this is a level 9 beast storm leopard, the speed is too fast, everyone must shoot quickly, be attentive, don't be deceived by the afterimage.

Wait for the front to be guarded, the swift wind leopard will be handed over to the head of the regiment, and the injured will retreat quickly for treatment, and they will not give their lives in vain, tonight's siege is just foreplay, and the big head is behind.

After saying that, the regimental commander looked at the storm leopard, and one flew up and stood in a ball with the storm leopard. But the result is obvious, the normal corps commanders are already martial arts level people, and they have learned to use martial arts, only to see this regiment commander shoot the Storm Leopard away, and immediately follow a forward stab.

The combat skill was used, and it could be seen that a ray of light galloped away to the anxious wind leopard, almost incredible, poof, the light entered the body of the rapid wind leopard, entered from the front, came out of the back of the head, snapped, and fell on the horse.

I didn't even look at it, I immediately returned to my original position, and continued to kill the demon beasts that crossed the moat, so 3 hours passed, and there were already casualties, for no other reason, the more beasts were killed, the more corpses were spread under the horse, and as there were more and more corpses, the piles were getting higher and higher.

The beast behind would not be stopped by the rejection of the horse, and began to jump by stepping on the corpse. And the commanders of each regiment also began to fight the fire continuously, and there were constantly more advanced beasts crossing the front line of defense and going straight to the back, so at this point, many sergeants could not dodge, were scratched, or were bitten to death.

Master Hou, do you think you want to withdraw and release the arrow directly?

General Li and General Zhao, this is just that? These are all wild beasts, if they are all demon beasts that come tomorrow, will it be so difficult that we should just withdraw?

No, but there have been casualties.

There have been casualties? Is it called fighting a war if you don't die in a war? How do you usually train, only the beasts have already died, I think it's okay to die, such a person will only drag his feet, so General Li went to Dean Xiao of the Martial Arts Academy and asked him to lead the senior class to meet the battle. It's time for the Martial Arts Academy to play with its heat.

Well.. This was not given to the order.

Moment..

To meet the old marquis, Xiao Wu was ordered to come, and took the senior class, all the students and teachers totaled 2,658 people, I don't know what the old marquis commanded.

Well... Dean Xiao, immediately lead your students, those who need weapons to the city to get them, those who don't need weapons and those who have received weapons, all go to the city gate to help the defenders, and go all out to kill and retreat the enemy.

Be... Under the order, all the senior class students of the Martial Arts Academy, those who have weapons show off their weapons, and those who do not have weapons will go down to the city wall to receive weapons, and then follow the teachers to kill the enemy outside the city, save the evidence of killing the enemy, and immediately accumulate battle merits.

Be... In accordance with the orders of the dean, follow me in the first class and follow me in the second class....... Class 9 came with me, received the weapon, and followed me out of the city.

Just now, he was still arrogant, but when he was outside the city, he looked at the soldiers covered in blood, and they were all stunned.

This.......

Teacher... It's not that scary, is it?

Adapt, adapt, what? Isn't it just killing a beast? Why haven't you seen blood? Come with me, auxiliary sergeant.

Kill......

Vomit.... As soon as they rushed to the front line, they saw corpses all over the ground, as well as blood, and what was even more disgusting was the internal organs of beasts all over the ground, and what intestines and everything were scattered all over the ground, and many students immediately vomited.

Look at your outings? You can't stand a little hodgepodge? You can't stand it, get out of the morning, don't embarrass the students. See clearly that the beast is not the person who trains against each other in your sect, it is the beast and demon beast that will really kill you, don't talk nonsense. Kill......

Yes.... Mom, I can't stand it, it's a female student who is talking, when she killed a Wolverine just now, the sword cut through the belly of the beast, and all the hodgepodge in the belly fell on the female student, on her head, and on the ground in front of her. With the unbearable smell, I really want to die.

Teacher, can I quit? It was so disgusting that I couldn't stand it anymore, and I squatted on the ground again and started vomiting.

Tell you, don't think about quitting, what is this, it's just a beast, you don't have as much strength as yours, you don't have as much agility as you, you still have combat skills, I don't even understand, what are you still calling there, what are you afraid of? Look at other sergeants, they have killed countless people, and they have taken half a step back? All of them are scattered, looking for targets individually or in teams, and hunting freely.

Yes, teacher......

With the addition of this new force, the situation suddenly turned around, and most of the slightly more advanced beasts were directly hunted by the students, and it was easy to fall.

At dawn, the beasts, which had been attacking all night, gradually retreated, and the various sergeants were exhausted and killed all night.

Master Hou, what do you think will be arranged next?

General Zhao and General Li ordered to go down, all the pikemen corps retreated to the city to rest, those who were injured were treated, those who were not injured rested on the spot, and ordered to go down Any sergeant shall not leave the city wall 5,000 meters without authorization, and there will be no forgiveness for violators, and the Tianji battalion will be ordered to strengthen its patrol to prevent wild beasts from attacking the city during the day, and the archers who have been resting for half the night will continue to rest, and monitor after dawn.

Lord Xu, I ordered all the personnel of the household department to post a post, and try to find as many people as possible to salvage the corpses of the moat as soon as possible, as well as the corpses of the horses in front of them, and use those who can be used, and those who cannot be used, those who can eat meat, will be distributed to the poor people in the city.

The excess is marinated, dried and stored as jerky.

Be... Hou Ye.

Well, everyone is tired all night, go back to the city tower and take a simple rest, and the more difficult time to welcome us is coming.

Ladies and gentlemen... Please have some food, I've been hungry all night.

That's right... Rice, General Li, General Zhao, is there enough food for the sergeants? How much has been transported by the household department, and we must ensure that the food of the sergeants is guaranteed, and there are so many wild beasts outside the city, don't be reluctant, cook more for the soldiers to eat.

Back to the old marquis, the household department is constantly transporting grain, and the grain and grass currently under the wall are enough for 5 days, and the household department is still trying to find a way to raise it.

Okay, then let's eat first, and after eating, we will bother the two generals to go down and count the battle damage.

Yes, old marquis, this is not counted, old marquis, you eat some early rest, you have not been with your eyes for a day and a night, you can't compare with us, we are still young and strong.

Well... It's okay, eat some, eat some and rest after counting, I'm waiting for you here.

Be... That is better to be respectful.

After hurriedly eating the meal brought by the sergeant below, the two generals left quickly.

Lord Xu

Xia Guan is here, you go back immediately, build more crossbow arrows and feather arrows, look at last night's offensive, this time the beast tide is not small, it is estimated that there are not enough bows and arrows. So go back and ask the craftsmen not to slack off, and make as many feather arrows and crossbow arrows as possible as soon as possible, only these can reduce a lot of casualties.

Be... Old Marquis, the next official will go here, whether the thunder stone rolling wood and fire oil also need to be prepared more.

Well, you contact the people in the household department, prepare together, and gradually arrive here.

Yes, old marquis, the next official will retire and go to prepare.

Half an hour later

Old marquis, the battle losses of the spear regiments have been sorted out.

Oh, come on.

The old marquis, the three spear regiments of the Duwei Army, killed more than 1,000 people, wounded more than 1,000 people, and poisoned more than 500 people who were unable to fight.

And what about General Zhao's side?

Returning to the Hou Ye, the loss on our side was slightly less, with a total of more than 1,500 people killed in the battle, more than 2,000 wounded, and more than 800 people who were poisoned and unable to fight again.

Alas... In the first charge, more than 2,500 people were killed and more than 4,000 were wounded, which was tragic. He was instructed to mobilize all the doctors in the capital, including retired doctors and military doctors, to give the wounded the fastest treatment, to ensure that they were put into battle as soon as possible, and that the sergeants who died in the battle should do a good job of counting and co-ordinating, and that their families would be bereaved after the war.

Be... Hou Ye, I don't know what else Hou Ye commands.

Not for the time being, order the sergeants to hurry up and rest, the big battle will come soon, I just hope to give the sergeants a chance to sleep.

All right.. Master Hou, then you can also rest, there are us outside.

Okay, the two of you take turns to rest, don't stop resting, if there is an enemy, wake me up as soon as possible.

Be... Master Hou, he has not retired.
