18. Offense and defense

When Xia Ji came to the city gate, the morale around him had fallen to the extreme, and I don't know who shouted "The Seventh Highness is down", and the crowd suddenly made an uproar, and they got up and crowded over one by one to see.

I saw a mighty black-armored prince walking on the masonry road, and behind the prince was a dressed princess, followed by a thousand slaughtering guards.

The royal family came to the front line, which immediately injected a dose of strength into the soldiers defending the city, so the morale gradually rose again.

Xia Ji walked down the winding bluestone steps to the wall, Gonggong Mei and the chief manager were waiting for him, the chief manager in a wheelchair sneered and nodded to him, and didn't say anything, today you and I died together, what do you have to say on Huangquan Road, and in any case, the emperor's plan is going to come true after all, but he just took his own life.

Deng Jue was stunned at first when he saw the domineering armor and weapons of the Seven Princes, but then he also came back to his senses, and personally introduced him and the imperial daughter to the only small building on the city wall, where there was a pile of fine wine, and then asked, "Your Highness, can you see here?"

"Very good. ”

"Your Highness is here... Old man, go. ”

After Deng Jue left, Xia Ji stood in the tower of the city wall overlooking the battlefield.

Snowy, skeletal and hellish, nearly a million refugees are still outside the city, captured by the Ghost Army, killing some people every day to provoke, and these seem to be at least a thousand people at a time.

Xia Xiaosu was lying on the window of the tower, looking at it and crying, "Boom, boom..."

The crying grew louder and louder, and the rouge on his face melted.

Xia Jiqi said: "What are you talking about?"

Xia Xiaosu: "So many people have died, it's so pitiful." ”

Xia Ji raised his hand and directly hugged the girl into his arms, rubbing her eyes, "Don't cry." ”

Xia Xiaosu obediently quieted down, but he still spent his face looking at the sea of corpses and blood under the city, and he couldn't stop crying.

The ghost army in the distance seemed to have changed a little, and dozens of giants about five or six meters tall came out of the flying snow, these giants had faint blue skin, heavy flying snow around them, and they were holding huge maces that were more than two feet long, and there were some skeletons hanging around their necks, human and beast.

"Is this the Frost Giants? They're actually decorated with skeletons?"

"The ancient books say that they were the trophies of their pride, and they were decorated to show their majesty. Usually only the enemies who put them in hard battle, or the most powerful people in the tribal cities they conquered, are usually eligible to be their skeletal accessories. Xia Ji looked at the pale girl and said with a smile, "For example... Me and you. ”

Xia Xiaosu was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and her tears didn't flow, she didn't want to die and was cut off by someone, her skin and flesh were removed, and she dried it to make jewelry.

The arrival of the Frost Giants caused a new round of fierce battles, and these Frost Giants really deserved to be the darlings of the wind and snow, they were really invulnerable, and they did not hide, they walked directly to the city gate from the front.

Deng Jue's roaring voice suddenly sounded on the city wall: "Release the arrow!!"

Suddenly, thousands of bowstrings rang out.

The frost giants paused, and the arrows landed on the giants with the snow with a crisp "ding-ding" sound, but the many shots only stopped the giants.

As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, they began to walk again.

Damage doesn't exist, not even the defenses of ice and snow armor can't be broken, not even the skin of giants can't be reached.

"Brother, what are they going to do?"

Xia Ji said: "Of course, it is to blast open the city gate directly with a stick, there is that defense, there is that brute force, what else do you want to do?"

Xia Xiaosu asked: "Why are there only a few dozen giants, didn't the front-line emergency report say that there are three thousand frost giants? Otherwise, the prince and the 100,000-strong army would not have collapsed in a sneak attack in the middle of the night." ”

Xia Ji thought for a moment and said, "The ancient books say that these giants usually don't like to be too far away from their station, so... It is possible that many giants broke the wolf barrier and went back, and those who came here were some giants with an adventurous spirit. ”

Xia Xiaosu couldn't help but roll her eyes and complained, "What adventurous spirit?"

Xia Ji said seriously: "Self-breakthrough, pioneering and innovative." ”

Xia Xiaosu laughed with a puff.

Xia Ji can see through it, Deng Jue can naturally see through it, and the military strong shooting crossbow was suddenly aimed at the giant under the city, and one after another arm-thick arrows broke through the wind and snow, with a piercing sound, tearing the sky and shooting at the giant.

The wind and snow armor was shattered.

But the end of the strong crossbow does not wear Lu Min, and when the golden arrow reaches the skin of the giant, it has no strength, and it is still useless.

Seeing the frost giant getting closer and closer, the soldiers defending the city at the head of the city had a look of absolute expression in their eyes, and they could only keep aiming at the giant and firing crossbow arrows.

And the young men in the city who assisted the defense have long lost their original blood.

"This kind of monster, how can you win the battle..."

"It's not human at all!"

"It's useless for anyone to come, this monster can't be killed at all. ”

As the frost giants approached, there were more and more such voices, and Deng Jue was also doing his best, in addition, there were many families and martial arts people in the rivers and lakes who were assisting in defending the city, but looking at the posture of these giants, they were all frightened in their eyes.

Suddenly, a swordsman said: "The Sorrowful Sky Monk of Leiyin Temple has great mana and also holds magic weapons, who can invite him, he will definitely come here to subdue this giant?"

The chief manager sitting in a wheelchair sneered in his heart, Leiyin Temple had already decided that this was the doomed catastrophe of the imperial city, and the mountain gate had been closed during the catastrophe, and many monks said that they wanted to spread the Dharma to the south and left with the Son of Heaven, how could the sorrowful sky come out and get involved in this cause and effect?

Another middle-aged man from a family holding an iron sword said: "I heard that the great Confucian Lu Qi of the court cultivated Haoran purple qi, and he had to give the Confucian immortal magic weapon to punish the demon whip, if he is here, he will definitely be able to kill this giant..."

The chief manager listened to it in his ears, and smiled disdainfully, Lu Qi would not "know what he can't do and do it", the "Qi" in his name is taken from "seeing the virtuous and thinking together, and seeing the unvirtuous and introspecting himself".

Therefore, when he got the information that the alien tiger and wolf drove straight in, he proposed to the Son of Heaven overnight: "Do it without knowing what you can't do, fools too; know that you can't do it, but don't do it, and the sage is also; now that the emperor is standing under the dangerous wall, why not go south to build a new capital, and wait for the whole army in the coming year, the time and place are favorable, and then take revenge", the Son of Heaven adopted, and Lu Qi is now on the side of the Son of Heaven, surrounded in the center of the army of 50,000, thousands of miles away, right?

If you don't run away, isn't it because the information is lagging behind, or because your family is big and you can't run away from the blockade of the city gate, so you want to fight?

The chief manager was calm on his face, and sneered in his heart, the world was bustling for profit, and the world was bustling for profit, he looked at the tower in the distance, and could vaguely see two figures in it.

His Royal Highness the Seventh, our family is only waiting for you to die now, if you die, the emperor's task will be completed, and our family's resentment will be eliminated, he looked sideways at Gonggong Mei, and said: "Little Meizi, if His Royal Highness the Seventh is dead, you will slap our Tianling Gai with one palm, and then go and run for your life." ”

On the other side, Deng Jue had already sent a dead soldier out of the city gate with a giant shield spear in his hand to resist, and at the same time, the city head sent more war equipment, large crossbows, and flint carts all on the field...

The ghost side saw that the city gate was opened, so several pioneers and thousand wolf horses drove the refugees to rush over, and the refugees had no way to run, and when they saw the city gate open, they could only run desperately in the direction of the gate.

In the wind and snow, the bloody battlefield like a meat grinder kicked off again.
