Chapter 1: Beast Tide Raid

Next Chapter

Dangdang, Dangdang, Dangdang, Dangdang......

"Three long and two short, it's an emergency battle preparation! Quick, Maomao, hurry up and hide in the cellar, grandpa is going to gather at the entrance of the village!" Boss Zhang was wearing the rattan armor he had made, and he urged his only grandson.

"Grandpa, didn't you say okay, I'm going to call me Zhang Genliu after my eighth birthday!" Zhang Genliu said dissatisfiedly as he lifted the wooden lid of the cellar.

"Okay, Zhang Genliu villagers, please enter the cellar immediately and stand by, you can't come out without the summons of Zhang Boss villagers!" Zhang Boss said seriously, but his face was full of smiles.

"Yes!" Zhang Genliu also replied seriously, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.

After Boss Zhang hurriedly went out, he trotted all the way to the direction of the village entrance. On the way, I learned from the village guards who were carried back that this time it was a tide of big beasts, not to mention tens of thousands of beasts of all kinds. After Boss Zhang learned the news, his face was solemn, and his steps became heavier and heavier.

"All the men go up to the wall, the archers aim at the beast's eyes, the fire meteor is ready to ignite, the siege crossbow is aimed at the mammoth......" Before Boss Zhang got close to the entrance of the village, he heard a loud voice hysterically issuing orders on the wall.

This person's name is Zhang Tianshou, he looks gray-haired, and no one in the entire Taohong Village knows how old he is. In Boss Zhang's memory, when he was still so old as Zhang Genliu, this Lord Zhang Tianshou was already this beard and hair.

The villagers present listened to these orders and consciously took their places one by one. Because Zhang Tianshou has led the villagers to resist the beast tide countless times, he has already become a big hero in the eyes of the villagers. Even Boss Zhang, who is over half a hundred years old, is no exception, and his eyes are full of admiration when he looks at Zhang Tianshou.

Boss Zhang stood on the wall and looked down, a large area of black pressure, and a sense of fear arose. The autumn wind blew in the face, mixed with the stench of all kinds of beasts, and everyone on the wall of the choking wall sneezed again and again.

"Moo...... Moo...... "I don't know what kind of beast in the herd makes a sound, like the roar of a cow, but it is much more dull than the sound of a cow.

All the huge beasts in sight seemed to have received some order, and frantically slammed into the wall. Standing on the wall, Boss Zhang felt like a pair of big hands violently shaking the ground under his feet.

The smaller, agile beasts are directly climbing the wall. The walls here are not as smooth as mirrors, but they are nowhere to start, and there is no focus at all. However, there is a fierce beast called the saber-toothed lynx in the beast tide, which can ignore these. Their claws can grab half a minute into the rock, not deep, but enough for them to climb up quickly.

"Roll the wood and prepare, put!"

The road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, and the human side naturally has its own countermeasures, and it will not easily let the fierce beast succeed.

This is all the experience gained from fighting fierce beasts for a long time. When the saber-toothed lynx is smashed to the foot of the wall, it is difficult to get up again. The reason is very simple, there are all huge beasts crashing into the wall, as long as the saber-toothed lynx falls, most of them will be trampled to death.

Sure enough, I saw that after hundreds of saber-toothed lynx were smashed down, the smell of blood immediately wafted up.

"Prepare the oil drums, light the fire!" Just as the wall was being hit and trembling, the reassuring voice sounded again. As buckets of lit oil were poured under the wall, the roar of the beasts followed, and the eardrums of the people were painful.

"Fire Meteor ready, light it, let it go!" another command sounded, followed by a constant swishing sound.

I saw the ignited clay pot, with a dazzling fire tail, flying towards the dense herd of beasts in the distance. The fire meteor smashed into the herd, splashing large sparks, and the ignited beast went crazy and rampaged through the herd. As a result, many of the beasts were not burned to death, but were trampled to pulp by their companions.

With the issuance of orders one after another, the fight on the side of Taohong Village was in an orderly manner. However, Zhang Tianshou had a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.

"Oops!" was startled, Zhang Tianshou suddenly thought of something!

"Archers stop shooting, archers stop shooting!Arrows aim at the sky, arrows aim at the sky!"

Zhang Tianshou suddenly thought that when the first wave of beast tides attacked, there were various birds in the air to raid. However, after the villagers gathered, they did not see a single bird, which was to be caught off guard.

Less than three breaths after Zhang Tianshou finished shouting, countless birds of prey suddenly swooped out of the clouds in the sky. They cocked their wings, beaks downward, and swooped down like sharp arrows.

"Siege crossbow ready, aim for the three largest bull eagle beasts!Archers prepare, aim for their wings!Release!" Zhang Tianshou shouted hysterically.

Whoosh ......

A dense rain of arrows met the birds of prey that covered the clouds, and in an instant a rain of blood fell in the air. The corpses of the birds of prey fell to the city walls, killing and injuring hundreds, and even smashing several siege crossbows and fire launchers.

Soon, the walls of the wall were full of corpses. Most of them are the carcasses of birds of prey, because they are several times, or even dozens of times larger than humans. But at the moment, there is no need to clean up the wall, because a few birds have broken through the rain of arrows and pounced violently. Under the hasty response, dozens of people were killed and wounded.

"Prepare the cow tendon net, put it!" After stabilizing his position, Zhang Tianshou issued another order.

Sure enough, when the wings of the raptor encountered the shroud of the cow's tendon net, no matter how it fluttered, it could only be pierced to death by a spear.

After three hours of desperate fighting, everyone on the city wall showed fatigue. However, no one shouted tired, because this was a battle of life and death, because behind him were thousands of fathers and villagers.

In the past years, people have known that if any village is attacked by the beast tide, it is very difficult for anyone to survive.

"Logistics team, rapid supply, oil, arrows, spears, as many as you want! Other logistics team members, come up and turn over the raptor carcass and carry the casualties away for treatment!" Zhang Tianshou crawled out from under the body of a raptor and shouted in a certain direction inside the wall.

At this time, it was already sunset, and the number of beasts was at least more than 6,000, and everyone in Taohong Village looked solemn. But there is no way, if you don't fight, the whole village will be eaten.

After Zhang Tianshou finished shouting, he saw a group of women carrying baskets running out of a thick-looking house on the west side. Their steps were neat, and the baskets were full of arrows. Another group of women came out in unison, with trapped spears on their shoulders.

A few more teams of women came out, carrying all kinds of tools and strategic supplies in their hands and bodies. I have to say that at the moment of life and death, the power that erupted from the entire village was still considerable.

Moo...... Moo...... Moo......

After hearing this voice, everyone's hearts tightened. This time, there is no need to wait for orders, everyone is ready. The bow and arrows are wound, the oil barrels are in place, the siege crossbow is in place, and the fire meteor can be ignited at any time. However, what was waiting was for the herd to slowly retreat.

"Oh!oh!oh!" the people on the wall saw this, and after a few breaths of silence, they suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers.

People cheered, and not just because the tide had receded. Usually the Beast Kings of the nearby mountains organize a large-scale invasion of human villages every year before winter. However, as soon as any village resisted, they retreated. There will be no large-scale action until the snow melts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still believe that I Zhang Tianshou?" As everyone cheered, Zhang Tianshou spoke again, but this time it was not an order.

......

"Letter!" After a moment of silence for unknown reasons, an old man with gray hair finally shouted.

"Believe, believe, believe!" someone took the lead, and the crowd reacted, followed by a neat shout.

That being the case, the old man said it bluntly. In the old man's opinion, although the tide of beasts has receded this year, the danger has not passed! There is no reason, there is no reason, this is just the old man's intuition! Trust the old man, everyone will continue to stick to the wall tonight, and all adults who can act must participate!" The uneasiness in Zhang Tianshou's heart became stronger and stronger, stronger than the air raid just now, so he had the above words.

When everyone heard this, they were whispering and discussing something in a whisper.

"Master Zhang, we definitely believe you! But can we go home and recuperate, have a meal, and bandage the wounds? Look, it's getting dark soon, and my family is still in the cellar!" Boss Zhang walked out of the crowd and said cautiously.

At this time, he was already like an arrow, even though the wall at the entrance of the village was only half a mile away from his home.

"Yes, Master Zhang, let's go home and recuperate, as long as we hear the bell, we will run over immediately!" After Boss Zhang proposed, everyone agreed.

"Okay, but everyone must be ready to fight at any time! Let's disperse first, the village guards who are not injured will stay, and the logistics team will send some food!" Seeing that everyone said this, Zhang Tianshou didn't want to say anything more, and after a simple order, he disbanded everyone.

According to Zhang Tianshou's idea, it is best to let the men, women and children of the whole village immediately go to the wall of the village or hide in the cellar. But when he heard Boss Zhang's words, he had no choice but to press his thoughts, hoping that the danger would not come too quickly.
