Chapter Twenty-Three: The Demon Fire Spider
After clearing the wave of corpses that had attacked the tower, there was a brief silence on the city wall.
Gu Wen gasped, although the physical exertion was not great. But the first battle still made him nervous.
Looking at the corpse demon stumps and human corpses all over the ground, Gu Wen felt the cruelty of the battlefield.
In just one round of confrontation, Gu Wen and Hu De were tough and head-on, blocking most of the main corpse demon forces. More than a dozen people were still killed or seriously wounded.
And the previous company of the Qingshan Regiment Pawn Company, because of the lack of Gu Wen, a chaotic trespasser who has no warrior honor and specializes in fighting monsters, is more than half disabled.
Gu Wen suddenly remembered a question, how did these slow-moving corpse demons who had no ability to climb climb up the two-hundred-meter-high straight city wall?
Gu Wen walked to the city wall curiously, and held the arrow stacks by the city wall with both hands to look down.
Suddenly, someone next to him yelled: "Be careful"
A person rushed over and crashed into Gu Wen's side. Gu Wen couldn't dodge, was knocked out sideways, pulled and fell down with the man, and became a pair of rolling gourds.
Just a moment before being knocked down, Gu Wen saw a scene that he would never forget
Beneath the city walls, all the way to the end of the horizon, the gray corpse demon army was densely packed, obscuring almost all the black sand.
Only near the city wall, bombarded by dense thunderstones, did circular black pits be exposed. But in an instant, it was filled with corpses.
Beneath the walls, countless zombies were clanging at the walls with their blunt rusty swords, and more skeletons were trying to climb up the walls.
Rocks rained down on the city, smashing groups of corpses to the ground.
There are also some skeleton ladders stacked up to a height of tens of meters, because the weight of the skeletons below is not enough, they collapsed, and many skeletons tumbled and fell, breaking their limbs.
The skeletons that rushed up behind them didn't care, stepping on the skull, spine and leg bones of their companions, continuing to climb upwards, and falling again.
But that's not the real reason why the corpse demon came to the city.
Gu Wen saw that four or five hundred meters away from the city wall, there was a row of huge dark red spiders. Each of their bodies was the size of a house, with eight long legs like steel pipes digging deep into the ground.
Dozens of finger-thick silver spider silk erupted from the giant mouth of each spider, and one end of the spider silk was attached to the wall of the city, and a number of silk web bridges were actually built.
Waves of countless corpses surged upwards along the wire mesh bridge.
Gu Wen was knocked down after just one look, but he was already shocked.
As soon as his body fell, several silver spider silks shot at the place where he had been standing. The spider silk fell into the air, and still flew forward for more than ten meters, before it retracted and stuck on the wall.
Immediately afterwards, seven or eight bone arrows also came and smashed into the battlements with a crackle.
Gu Wen lay on the ground in shock, and then remembered that he had just seen the corpse of the soldier whose head had been pierced under the city. If it weren't for someone knocking him out, he would have ended up in the same fate.
Thinking of this, Gu Wen said gratefully to the person lying next to him: "Thank you! brother." ”
The man got up on his bones, wiped the blood on his beard, and shouted in Gu Wen's ear, "Who is your brother?"
"Which battalion are you from?
Gu Wen said modestly: "General." ”
The bearded man was none other than Hood, the company commander of the Pawn Company, and he said angrily:
"Ordinary fart! I'm going to ask your captain how he taught you? It would take half a day to fight a miscellaneous soldier at such a high level. Do you dare to look outside the city and don't know how to write dead words?"
Gu Wen said with a fever on his face: "I don't have a captain, no one to teach." ”
Anyway, it's not bad that a chef can overturn a group of corpse demons. Don't be too demanding, man.
Hood was surprised, "You don't have a captain, how did you get into the team, are you a spy?"
Gu Wen couldn't cry or laugh: "A living person is a spy for a corpse demon, your brain is too big, right?" I'm Gu Wen, Lian Commander Hu, you have eaten my small stove." ”
Hood looked at it carefully, and finally recognized the ugly man with scorched hair and a dark face in front of him, and said in surprise:
"Captain Gu, I heard that you were transferred to the military headquarters, why did you run to the city wall? Did you make a mistake and be assigned to the dead soldiers' camp?"
Gu Wen was angry, and said in his heart, why do you have a tune with Guan Dazhuang?, and said angrily: "I asked for leave to come to visit my fellow villagers." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to Sangtuo, who was standing far away. "As a result, you arrested the strong man. ”
Hood scratched his beard embarrassedly: "You can't blame me, who told you to change your hairstyle and smear your face with African sea mud." Anyway, that Sang blind man's character is not very good, you are friends with him, and bad luck is inevitable. ”
Gu Wen was stunned: "Who is friends with him, didn't I show magnanimity? Who expected that doing good deeds would be unlucky." “
"Or the sage is right: 'Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue'. You can't be a good person. ”
Hood was about to ask where the "leftovers" were, and the next wave of corpses had climbed up the city along the wire mesh bridge. This wave of corpse demons is headed by three jumping corpses, and the lineup is even stronger.
Hood hurriedly pulled Gu Wen back dozens of steps and shouted: "Array!"
The company of soldiers hurriedly gathered together. After a month of training, these elites from various villages have a little bit of warrior appearance, although they can't deal with monsters above level 18, they can kill skeleton soldiers and withstand zombies.
The same is true of the entire battlefield of Trapped Tiger Mountain, although there are many elite corps, a large number of cannon fodder will still be sent to fight against the low-level troops of the corpse demons, otherwise the elite soldiers will be consumed too early, and they will not be able to withstand the tide of high-level corpse demons in the future.
At this time, the jumping corpse commanded the younger brothers to attack again. Four skeletons lead the zombie skeletons to kill first. Hood and Gu Wen glanced at each other, shouted to meet the enemy head-on, and handed over the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers to the soldiers.
Gu Wen knocked off the thigh bone of a skeleton monster with a stick: "Lian Commander Hu, what kind of monster is the spider below? ”
Hood's side flashed the "Force Splitting Huashan" of another skeleton monster: "That is the Demon Fire Spider, the level is level 35, and it is very strong in both distance and close combat, anyway, I can't do it." ”
Gu Wen knocked the skeleton monster's head with a stick: "It's so powerful, why don't you use thunder stones and fire oil bombs to smash it? Let it keep building the bridge, we are very passive." ”
Hood squatted down to dodge the skeleton monster's "sweeping thousand troops", and by the way, he cut off the skeleton monster's left hand with a knife: "The demon fire spider originally used fire as food, and the fire oil was useless. ”
"There aren't many of them, and they're the treasure class of the Corpse Demon Clan. Each level 50 corpse witch guards with a protective shield, and thunder stones and crossbow arrows can't hit it. ”
Gu Wen knocked the third skeleton monster's right arm away with a stick: "Damn, so arrogant, then how can we fix it? It's too embarrassing to always fight like this." ”
Hood turned to the side and dodged the skeleton monster's "power splitting Huashan" again: "What else can I do? ”
As he was talking, suddenly the stone thrower stopped firing thunder stones and fire oil bottles, and the entire battlefield was instantly silent.
Then the two gates on the left and right made a dull sound of "zazaza", and they opened violently from both sides.
The skeleton zombies shouted silently, swords and guns raised and surged into the city gate.
At this moment, a dull roar came from the dark gate hole, like some monster had awakened.
With a roar, suddenly the bones of countless skeleton zombies erupted from the city gate hole like a fountain, and two teams of cavalry in black armor and black armor came out of the city gate.
Heavy Cavalry Assault.
The battle was carried out by the heavy cavalry regiment of Junhu City, with a total of 4,000 men.
As the main combat arm of the human race, everyone in the heavy cavalry regiment is a high-level professional soldier above level 20, wearing heavy armor, holding a long axe, hanging a saber from his waist, and the war horse mixed with the blood of the demon beast under his crotch is also wearing thick iron armor, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.
The oncoming corpse demon was harvested like straw. Wherever the heavy cavalry went, they were invincible, and after the heavy cavalry had passed, they ploughed out a winding black road.
After the 4,000 heavy cavalry, there were 10,000 light cavalry, and these light cavalry were the pro-army of the small city, and they also had good combat power. Among them was the team of Junhu City, and Lin Mufan might be among them.
The light cavalry followed the heavy cavalry, harvesting the corpses that had been disorganized and attacking the corpses who were still climbing the walls from behind.
Followed by 30,000 auxiliaries, they began to eliminate the remaining corpse demon soldiers, most of whom were cut to limb by the cavalry in front, and the servants took the opportunity to choose the cheapest.
Shi Xiong, Gao Cheng, Cang Tietou, Lu Ren, Song Bin and others in Duntou Village also followed the large army to fight. With the protective gear given by Gu Wen to save their lives, these people performed quite heroically in the team, killing many half-crippled skeletons and zombies.
Among them, Lu Ren had the best luck, and picked a jumping corpse that was trampled on by the heavy cavalry and broke his backbone, which can be remembered for a small achievement. For this hunter who puts safety first, it can be regarded as a jackpot.
At this time, the heavy cavalry had already broken through the corpse demon army under the city and began to assault the demon fire spider. The truly brutal battle is just beginning.
