Chapter 424: A Different Night
Everyone was under the order of Lieutenant Tong, and when they began to rest, Zhang Qianjian also walked towards the stone fort on the side, and took off the armor of this body.
Zhang Qianjian, who has always been forbearing, couldn't help but cry out for pain at this time, only feeling that every part of his body did not belong to him, only this pain was real.
Fortunately, he is wearing light armor, if he is wearing heavy armor, after so many days, I am afraid that he will not be able to straighten his waist for a long time.
Looking out of the window of the stone castle again, Zhang Qianjian slowly lay down on a simple bed, and the moment his head was next to the pillow, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, making an even breathing sound, just like what Lieutenant Tong thought, he was too tired.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't rely too much on sleeping, so he still didn't rest, patrolling back and forth at the battlements, and glancing at the habitat of those monsters from time to time.
After so many days of fighting, the 200,000 shrimp soldiers and crab generals are finally visible to the naked eye, and the number is only 1230,000 at most.
After inspecting for another hour, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told the guards at the head of the city to cheer up, and then sat down cross-legged on his own side, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the cold wind made Zhang Qianjian, who was sleeping in the stone room, shiver, blowing His Royal Highness the Prince's robe and hair.
There was a sound of armor colliding, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slowly opened his eyes, it was time for the shift, the replacement got up from half sleep, beat his spirits, took the torch in the former's hand, yawned, and then stood behind the battlements.
It was the middle of the night.
The clear moonlight was a little dim, and the burning torches illuminated the scene at the head of the city, and what they couldn't see clearly was that among the resting monsters in front of them, the largest shrimp soldiers and crab generals opened their eyes at the same time, and then all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals opened their eyes.
The eyes of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals were dark, and even during the day, they didn't know when these monsters would open their eyes and when they would close their eyes, let alone at night.
After so many days, tonight was the first time they had opened their eyes since the first night when the shrimp soldiers and crabs were about to rest.
All of this was arranged during the day, and no one could understand the strange tune emitted by the prawn soldiers, and naturally they would not know that the prawn soldiers had arranged tonight's actions during the day.
More than 100,000 shrimp soldiers and crabs stood up from the ground in unison, and then without the slightest delay, they rushed like crazy horses, like the city wall.
At first, the staff on duty who had just been replaced did not react in the slightest, and when the monsters got closer, they rubbed their eyes vigorously, wondering if they were mistaken.
After the confirmation, those monsters had reached the position of thirty zhang in front of the city, and under the light of a row of fires at the head of the city, they could clearly see the giant pincers of those monsters showing off their might, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on everyone's backs.
Immediately after that, a loud horn sounded, piercing through the black curtain in the cold night, and it sounded particularly harsh.
"Ahh!!h
At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was lying on the battlements, and he used Xuanyuan to open his mouth and roared: "Everyone, don't panic, like the day, guard every battlement." At the moment when the horn sounded, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived at the battlement in a flash.
One by one, the soldiers who had just lay down quickly got up from the ground, and rushed to the battlement with the weapons in their arms.
After pacifying these guards who were on duty and had just risen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't have time to see Zhang Qianjian coming out of the house, so he quickly rushed to the back, picked up a bucket of residual lotus oil and splashed it down the wall.
There is still this barrel of lotus oil left, and it can't play the role of a wall of fire, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately left it in order to ...... I saw the 'silence' on his waist, a cluster of flames shining from the knife, and a sudden knife slashed down, and a half-zhang wide line of fire burned along the position of the wall just now, instantly ignited, and the entire wall was illuminated red, and everyone saw the situation in front of the city.
This is the purpose of His Royal Highness the Prince, judging from the actions of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that the eyes of these monsters must be able to see at night, so this line of fire can make the guards see the situation clearly and quickly calm down.
The situation was very grim, more terrifying than any previous day, and when everyone reacted, found the right position, adjusted and began to attack, countless shrimp soldiers and crabs had already climbed more than half of the city wall.
"Damn, what kind of madness are these monsters going on, they actually launched an attack at this time. The county lieutenant Tong, who rushed to the city wall, looked at the battle situation on the wall, slapped the wall hard, and said with a curse in his mouth, followed by the county magistrate who was already wearing armor.
His Royal Highness the Prince, who was standing on the side, was speechless, and Zhang Qianjian followed and said: "County Lieutenant Tong, go and lead the troops quickly, you have to prepare for the battle on the city tonight!"
"Yes!" Lieutenant Tong agreed, turned around and left, cursing and swearing non-stop.
"Hold on tonight, there will be enough lotus oil to be transported early tomorrow morning, and you will definitely be able to stop this wave of attacks. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince paused as he spoke, and then said, "But I don't know how many people will be killed or injured." ”
"It doesn't stop there. Zhang Qianjian said with a deep frown.
"yes, it's more than that. ”
Naturally, more than that, the impact of tonight's battle must be extremely huge, at least from now on, Zhang Qianjian will no longer dare to let most people rest, leaving only two adults on duty.
This is a great test of the physical endurance of the guards, and from tonight onwards, the number of guards who have fallen due to illness and physical exhaustion will surely increase exponentially.
Fortunately in the misfortune, Zhang Qianjian still left two adults on duty, if it was a little less, or everyone was relieved to rest boldly, then tonight would be the time when the city was broken.
"The most important thing is that we underestimated the wisdom of those leading monsters, tonight's siege, judging from the fact that there was no sound, must have been premeditated in advance. Zhang Qianjian said in an extremely serious tone.
"These monsters rest night and night, which greatly reduces our defense. ”
Thinking that there had been no such moth for so many days before, it turned out that it was just to confuse, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly remembered the previous scene and said: "I should have been on guard a long time ago, the prawn soldiers who were a little tall before dodged one arrow after another from me." ”
......
Near dawn, more than a dozen crab generals took the lead in boarding the city and opened their sharp pincers.
ps: Urgent, take a day off tomorrow.
