The momentum of the sea of fire below changed from five or six zhang high at the beginning, to two or three zhang later, and finally became less than one zhang high.

A red crab will begin to climb out of the sea of fire, struggling to climb up, first a pair of giant pincers penetrated the sea of fire, came out, but the original red and blue giant pincers, now the red has become redder, and the blue seems a little dark and dull, some to black change.

A dozen or so sturdy red-shelled long legs rose and fell on the city wall at an extremely fast speed, until its entire body broke away from the sea of fire below, and there was a small flame at its tail shell, but it was gradually extinguished as it crawled.

"Come up!" exclaimed the guards constantly.

The crab was becoming more and more proud, staring at the city wall with dark eyes, waving two sharp giant pincers, and still opening and closing.

There is a first, there will be a second, there will be a third, and gradually more and more crab generals and shrimp soldiers have climbed up from the sea of fire below.

Seeing more and more monsters crawling up from the foot of the city wall, Zhang Qianjian stretched out his hand to summon the county lieutenant Tong to carry out the next plan.

But he was stopped by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on one side of the hand stretched out his hand, Zhang Qianjian was very puzzled, and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with inquiring eyes.

"No hurry, wait a little longer. I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shake his head, and then said softly.

Although I don't know what Bai Shaoxia's move meant, Zhang Qianjian still chose to listen to him, plus the current situation is not impossible, if those monsters want to climb the city wall more than 20 zhang high, it will take a while.

Soon the first variable appeared.

The fastest and tallest crab general had reached a height of more than five zhang, and after climbing a few steps up, it was unstable, and the whole grinding disc body turned upside down, fell down from the wall, and Bai Shengsheng's belly was facing up, and he fell into the fire again, and he would definitely die.

Seeing this situation, the guards on the side of the city wall sighed in amazement, thinking that this was just a coincidence.

At first, Zhang Qianjian thought the same, but the corner of his eyes made him see that the corner of Bai Shaoxia's mouth next to him showed a shallow smile, could this be the reason why he asked me to wait, and soon Zhang Qianjian figured out the key point of the 'coincidence' just now, yes or no, just need to continue to look down.

After the first crab stumbled off the wall, the rest of the crabs didn't pay any attention to it and continued to climb up without hesitation.

Climbing this city wall is similar to the previous pit, and the speed of the crab general is always much faster than that of the shrimp soldiers, and the shrimp soldiers are already unable to compare to the crab general's dozen or so slender legs with both hands and feet.

There are more and more crabs will climb on the city wall, and they will come from behind, gradually throwing the shrimp soldiers under them, and the fastest to climb in front of the head has more than a dozen crab generals.

Before the height of six zhang, there was no accident, and all the monsters, whether they were shrimp soldiers or crab generals, were moving upwards extremely steadily.

But after six zhang, a series of sounds sounded, it was the sound of the crab falling from the wall into the sea of fire below, and it also burned with a crackling sound, after such a long time, it is estimated that it is cooked, and there is a faint smell of meat wafting up to the city.

If the first crab that fell into the fire before would be a coincidence, then how to explain the next dozen or so crabs that all fell without exception.

The guards on the side of the city wall didn't know why, and the idea in their minds was very simple, and if they didn't understand it, they didn't want to, just as God was helping them.

And this scene just now just confirmed Zhang Qianjian's conjecture, this strange must have come from the lotus oil poured on the city wall by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before.

While thinking like this in his heart, he heard Bai Shaoxia say this in his ear: "This lotus oil is not only very flammable, the fire is extremely strong, but it is also very slippery when poured on the wall, and it can be wrestled on the ground, not to mention that these monsters climb vertically." ”

"Brother Bai is thoughtful and well-informed. Zhang Qianjian looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said.

"Well, I didn't think it would work at first. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince responded with a smile.

On weekdays, these soldiers defending the city are fighting with people, and the human siege is naturally based on all kinds of equipment, such as ladders and rams, and there has never been a situation where the city wall has been climbed with bare hands, which is naturally different from these monsters at the moment.

So where did these people think that they could actually make the city wall slip and greatly increase the difficulty of these monsters climbing, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just had an idea.

I didn't have much confidence in my heart, and in the end I succeeded, so that I could delay time, save a lot of physical strength, and at the same time consume the opponent's troops.

This strategy is indeed a small strategy, but no one thought of such a small strategy just now, and being able to think of such a method in such a situation, Zhang Qianjian's admiration for the Bai Shaoxia next to him increased by another point.

The height of six zhang is like a hurdle, and no monster has been able to cross this hurdle so far, even the shrimp soldiers who climbed up behind them all fell down again.

Until the flames under the city walls were completely burned out, there was still no monster that could break through the height of six zhang.

The sea of fire was gone, and the people on the city walls saw the situation below thoroughly, and the ground was full of, a piece of dirt was charred black, and the blood had dried up, and what remained were pieces of cooked or charred flesh, trampled under the feet of the same kind who had crowded up, and looked a little cruel because of their indifference.

Just when the people on the city wall thought that the height of the six-zhang city wall was a curse from God to protect them, three crab generals appeared to cross this hurdle at the same time and march towards a higher height.

Although they still didn't climb much before they fell down again, it meant that the luck in their hearts, the luck that these monsters would never be able to climb up, was completely shattered.

The lotus oil poured on the city wall will not exist permanently, and there will naturally be a moment when it dissipates or is consumed by the monsters that have followed one after another, and it is conceivable that as time goes by, more and more monsters will climb up, and there will no longer be a situation of slipping and falling down the city.

A moment passed, and the monsters had reached more than half the height of the city wall, and they continued to ascend without slipping or stumbling.

One wall was full of these strange, ugly-looking monsters, still moving upward, and the guards who watched tightened their scalps, only to feel that they never wanted to see such a nightmare again in their lives.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned back, picked up a bucket of lotus oil, and continued to splash it on the wall, Zhang Qianjian saw his movements, and began to order the rest of the people to do the same.

It's bound to be a tug-of-war......
