Chapter 69: The Decisive Battle
Yangping City ushered in a new night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The night is not dark, not to mention the sky in the distance, the five pillars of light connecting the sky and the earth, that is, in front of you, there is a layer of divine power outside Yangping City, which is the magic that Lord Fang Haoze issued when he just came.
Yangping City, under the protection of a layer of divine light, has spent several months of quiet nights.
Yangping City covers an area of a very large area, according to the symmetrical layout of the central axis, by the outer city, the palace city, the city wall is as high as six meters, the wall base is more than ten meters thick, the city wall made of mud, after time, and the power of the remaining incense, now it is a deep dark color, very heavy.
This kind of building technology of the ancient Huaxia Kingdom in the Middle Ages, in the main world, is knowledge that stays in books. Therefore, after Fang Haoze came, because of curiosity, he also studied this construction method on Yangping Zhi.
The city wall of Yangping City adopts the method of "steaming earth to build the city", that is, glutinous rice juice, white silt, sand and hydrated lime are mixed together and rammed together.
At the beginning of the construction of the city, the superintendents would inspect it with an iron cone, and if the cone entered an inch, it would be immediately demolished and rebuilt, so the quality of the building was wonderful, "its strength can sharpen the knife and axe". If it is only to guard against cold weapons, the ability of such a city to resist attacks is enough to reassure people.
There are also moats outside Yangping City, but according to Fang Haoze's observations, these moats are actually filled with loess, and they have strangely become a flat land. He didn't know that for thousands of years, every night, hungry ghosts carried the loess all the way out of the world, and the moat had already been filled.
At this time, it was just nightfall, and the hungry ghosts who would always arrive outside the city walls should still be on the way to set off at this moment.
At the top of the city wall, on the battlement wall that had been deserted for thousands of years, at this moment, every other step, stood an archer. These battlements were built on top of the tall walls, on the outside of the walls, with continuous concave and convex toothed battlements for archery and lookouts, and were designed as the best position for archers to guard.
On the city tower in the center of the city wall, Fang Haoze, Fang Hua and others stood quietly.
It is the highest building on the top of the city wall, and it is an important high-altitude defense facility for the city to climb and look out on weekdays, and the main general to command during wartime.
On the outside of the tall wall of Yangping City, at certain distances, there will be a semicircular platform protruding from the outside of the wall, which is the face of horses.
The use of horse faces is to interact with the city wall and eliminate dead corners under the city. On top of the horse face, there is also an enemy tower, in which the halberd army and the sword and axe men of Yangping City are waiting for it.
Taking advantage of the characteristics of the enemy's convex exterior and tall buildings, we can watch the enemy and snipe at the enemy by relying on the enemy's crossfire from the front and between the left and right floors. Fang Haoze arranged some of the fighters here, in addition to the halberd and axe attacks, there are also arrows and catapults here, which can hit the enemy from a distance.
From the battlement to the city tower, and then from the city tower to the enemy tower, thousands of soldiers in Yangping City, fully armed, waiting, this is Fang Haoze's plan. At this moment, together with the warriors, he waited for his fateful opponent.
Time passed little by little, and an hour before nightfall, not far from the outside of the city, there were bursts of roars. Under the illumination of the five pillars of light in the distance, there were many ghosts in the mist, and those shadows several meters high, following the habit of thousands of years, once again came from the depths of the mist, trekking a long distance.
After a while, the figures came closer. Tall figures, clear facial features can be seen in the distance, their mouths are wide open, their fangs are full of saliva, and they show a covetous attitude towards Yangping City.
Forced by the protection of Fang Haoze's divine power earlier, although these hungry ghosts were dense and endless, one by one, they all tacitly stopped outside the divine power. Everyone froze, looking at Yangping City, and also surrounding Yangping City.
Under the protection of the divine power shield, the roars of the hungry ghosts could not be heard, and there was silence in Yangping City, and the soldiers in the strict formation couldn't help but hold their breath. Everyone can see the scene outside the city, outside it looks like a sea of hungry ghosts, and the vast expanse of hundreds of thousands of hungry ghosts fills the wilderness in sight. The silent and shocking scene was almost suffocating, and everyone involuntarily clenched the weapons in their hands to gain a little sense of security.
Fang Haoze looked around, and Fang Hua and the others replied with a prepared expression.
The next moment, Fang Haoze stretched out his right hand, and pointed his index finger in front of him, protecting the divine power shield of Yangping City for several months, like a bubble, it suddenly shattered, turned into a little starlight, and restored the origin of divine power. Then, Fang Haoze's index finger drew a circle, shrouding the thousands of stars in Yangping City, and following the trajectory of his index finger, a band of light was formed in the air, which was very beautiful.
This divine power light band gently circled in the air of Yangping City, and finally plunged into the city wall, attracting the power of the original ancient incense in the city wall. The power of the old and the new, through time and space, found a junction on the city wall, and with a flash of light on the city wall, Fang Haoze's magic that later spent thousands of divine power to cast spells was fixed on this Yangping city wall.
Looking at it again with the naked eye, the walls of Yangping City have returned to their old colors.
As soon as the divine power was gone, the roars of hundreds of thousands of hungry ghosts reached the ears of everyone on the city wall. Approaching everyone with Shenglang, there are also hungry ghosts who are overjoyed.
These monsters with relatively low intelligence didn't have time to think about why the divine power in front of them had disappeared, so they hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out their claws, and gnawed at the walls of Yangping City.
"Archers, release arrows. "Enemy towers throw stones. Fang Hua roared, and the two herald soldiers around him ran all the way along the city wall around him with this order, and wherever they went, the soldiers immediately loaded and threw stones, bent their bows and shoot arrows.
"Whoosh......" dense rain of arrows was scattered from the air to the ground. The special cinnabar stone throwing also fell into the middle of the hungry ghost with the operation of the enemy soldiers upstairs.
When the cinnabar arrow hits the hungry ghost, it can ignite a flame, and the dense arrow rain causes great damage to the hungry ghost below. The special cinnabar throwing stone is smeared with cinnabar on the stone, and every time it falls to the ground, it can empty a piece of land.
This was the first round of attacks, in which many hungry ghosts on the ground were killed, turning into bits of true spirits and floating into the sky.
"Keep attacking and don't stop!" Fang Hua gave the order, and two more soldiers beside him shouted as they ran along the city wall.
Another round of arrow rain and throwing stones whistled down, and there were many fewer hungry ghosts around Yangping City in an instant, and the sky was full of true spirits, which was very beautiful.
This is Fang Haoze's tactic, relying on Yangping City to launch an attack on the hungry ghosts. made full use of the strange habits that the hungry ghosts had cultivated for thousands of years, and there was no way to stop them by waiting for work, and calling the hungry ghost leaders hidden in the shadows.
The attack in this state was very easy for the soldiers of Yangping City, and the hungry ghosts below were like targets, allowing them to attack on the city wall.
