Text Text_Chapter 399 Siege and Defend the City
As Wang Hao predicted, on the fifth day of the human retreat to the major cities, the barbarian army approached the city.
Countless barbarians, pouring out from the depths of the wilderness, gathered under Fengqi City, looking from the city wall, dense, black oppression.
The fat rat found Xinxin's mother and daughter and sent them to Fengqi City.
In the battle five days ago, more than half of the generals died, and the fat rat, the praying mantis, and the rock were all promoted to the commanders because of their military merits, and each led a team of 1,000 people to jointly protect the eastern wall of Fengqi City.
Looking at the enemy below who couldn't see the border, the fat rat grinned bitterly and said, "Damn, I've been in the Qilin Army for so long, I don't know that there are so many barbarians in the wilderness!"
Panshi's expression was serious, "Five days ago, we had 60,000 people, and the barbarians had 10,000 people, but now, we only have 20,000 people in Fengqi City, and the barbarians besieging the city have 100,000 people!"
The praying mantis said: "There is no way, there is more than one city in the Fengqi Domain, since we can't take over all the residents of the city, we can only divide our troops to protect it!"
"Fortunately, this time we are not fighting from the plains, there are city walls, we just need to hold on!"
The fat rat pursed his lips, "But the barbarians have surrounded all the four directions of east, west, north and south, if they are defeated again this time, they will not even escape!"
Panshi disagreed, "Just like the boss said, the advantages of our human race are already in martial arts, strong walls, and formations, and it was a huge mistake to fight the barbarians on the plains before!"
"Speaking of the boss, I don't know how long he will have to retreat, he is not here, I am always a little unsure in my heart!"
The praying mantis laughed, "This doesn't look like our big brother on the rock!"
The fat rat shook his wrist and summoned the Horcrux out, "No matter what, this group of barbarians can't disturb the boss's cultivation, if they want to enter the city, they have to ask first, the Horcruxes in our hands will not agree!"
"That's right! Don't say 100,000 barbarians, that is, 200,000, 300,000, if you want to break the city, you have to let them return!"
The commander of the Qilin Army, standing at the south gate of Fengqi City, looked calm, after experiencing a fiasco, his state of mind became more calm.
The barbarian army is 800 meters away from the city wall, which can effectively reduce the power of the bow and arrow.
The barbarians seem to be waiting for something.
"Why don't you attack the city yet, these barbarians?" a human archer let go of his longbow and wiped the sweat from his palms on his trouser legs, "Do you want to scare us if you don't fight like this?"
The soldiers beside him also scolded, "Whatever! As long as they dare to advance 1,200 meters, Lao Tzu will have to shoot their heads through!"
After five days of training, the archers have improved a lot, and the talented warriors can even shoot a fallen leaf six hundred meters away.
The human refiners have not been idle in the past five days, and they have placed armor-breaking seals on the arrows of the feather arrows that they drove out a few days ago.
The feather arrow blessed with the seal charm becomes more powerful, the target is higher, and more importantly, it can make the entire feather arrow pierce the barbarian's body, and even pierce the barbarian's bones!
There are even refiners, even the style of the arrow has been changed, and three blood grooves have been added, once injured by this kind of arrow, the wound cannot heal, and the blood flows, even if it is a strong body like a barbarian, it is unbearable.
There are even more vicious refiners, find the Dan master in the army, quench the most poisonous poison into the arrow, once this poison is fused with blood, it will immediately volatilize a strong corrosive poison like corpse water, and corrode the flesh and blood!
The war between humans and barbarians has formed an indissoluble hatred, and no matter how vicious the method is, it is not too much to use it on the enemy.
A barrel of oil barrels filled with fuel oil was moved to the city wall, this is not an ordinary oil barrel, the barrel wall is engraved with dense seals, a single break, it will summon the three yang flames, its power, a hundred times more powerful than ordinary flames!
A huge rolling stone, also sent to the city wall, the rolling stone is not an ordinary stone, but a kind of ore called a thousand pounds of stone made, the palm of the big thousand pounds of stone is just its name, there is really a thousand pounds of weight, that the big thousand pounds of stone, how heavy should it be?
In addition to oil drums and rolling stones, there was also a ballista that was sent to the city wall, and the ballista was divided into two types, one was a hundred ballista and the other was a siege crossbow.
The Ballista is a box similar to a group of hidden weapons, with a full hundred holes in front of it, and once the mechanism is triggered, it will shoot a hundred crossbow arrows engraved with seals in just three breaths.
And this hundred crossbow carts, not can only be used once, the refiners in the hands of the warriors, collected a lot of yuan rings, although the capacity of ordinary warriors is not large, but it is more than enough to hold a thousand crossbow arrows.
The owner of the Yuan Ring is the crossbowman who controls the hundred ballista carts, and after the hundred ballistas fire a salvo, they will manipulate the Yuan Ring and take out a hundred crossbow arrows, which will be automatically loaded by the ballista.
The mechanism in the ballista is exquisite, and the loading is very fast, and several ballista cars are fired alternately, which will form a scene of non-stop shooting, which is quite spectacular.
Each ballista can shoot 10 to 20 times, which is the best weapon for defending the city!
As the name suggests, the siege crossbow was originally used for siege, and the crossbow on the engineering vehicle was three meters long and five meters wide, and the crossbow on the string was a two-and-a-half-meter-long crossbow.
Needless to say, the head of the crossbow gun is naturally engraved with the best and strongest armor-piercing seal, but the reason why the ballista can be named "siege" is not only the credit of the armor-piercing seal.
In the body of the ballista, there is a piece of fire crystal, which is extremely unstable, and as long as it encounters a violent collision, it will explode violently.
Moreover, the power of the explosion is very amazing, a spar the size of a little finger, the power of the explosion has exceeded the simultaneous detonation of twenty oil barrels.
The siege crossbow is a sharp weapon for blowing up the city gates and city walls, if it is against ordinary barbarians, it is naturally overkill, but against that group of elephant soldiers, it is just right!
In the battle five days ago, the power of the elephant soldiers, human beings have already seen it, the skin of the giant elephant is as hard as a rock, and the ordinary armor-piercing seal is impossible to penetrate!
If you can't stop these behemoths, once you let them get close to the city gates, each giant elephant will be a living battering ram.
Time passed little by little, the sky gradually darkened, and the faces of the human warriors were full of nervousness.
From the commander to the most ordinary warrior, it is clear at this moment what the barbarians are waiting for.
They're waiting for dark!
Once it is night, the visual distance on the city wall will definitely be greatly reduced, even if the warriors are all martial artists with a realm, their eyes are better than ordinary people, and they can see at most two or three hundred meters away from the city wall.
The line of sight was impaired, and both the archers and the ballista carts became blind and could only shoot indiscriminately.
"Damn, these barbarians, when did they become so smart!"
The commander of the Qilin Army was furious, and if the bow and crossbow didn't work, then this battle would not be able to be fought.
He immediately summoned the seal master in the army and asked eagerly: "The barbarian thieves want to fight at night, and our archers and crossbow archers must not become blind, can you think of some way to prevent this day from getting dark?"
Master Seal Fu is an old man, his expression is not shocked, and he has the demeanor of a grandmaster.
"Back to the commander, there is a way, just build a glowing formation above Fengqi City, you can make the surrounding ten miles brighter as day, just build a new formation, it takes time!"
The commander's face looked better, and it was better to have a way than nothing.
"How much time do you need?"
"An hour!"
"In half an hour, the sky will be completely dark, and we will do our best to hold on for half an hour! The lives of all the soldiers and the people of the whole city will be handed over to you!"
The old man nodded vigorously, "I will live up to the leader's entrustment!"
It was getting darker and darker, and when the last rays of sunlight disappeared, the war drums of the barbarian attack rang out.
The rock looked up at the sky from the city wall, there were no stars today, and the moon was hiding somewhere, he sighed deeply.
"It seems that God doesn't even want to help us!"
The sound of war drums became more and more urgent, rumbling non-stop, and then, the ground trembled slightly, and the sound of 10,000 people stepping on the ground was endless.
"Archer, get on the arrow!"
At the sound of the order from the southern wall, a thousand archers at the same time wound the feather arrows, and then pulled the bowstrings into a full moon.
There were beads of sweat on the archer's forehead, not because he was tired, but because he was too nervous.
Their eyes widened, but their eyes were extremely dark, and they couldn't see the target.
Naturally, the commander of the Qilin Army would not give such a ridiculous order, and the feather arrows were limited, and they must not be used indiscriminately until the reinforcements arrived.
He summoned the strong, and then summoned more than ten Yuan Stones, and activated them with Yuan Force.
After the Yuanshi was activated, it emitted a glowing white light, and was thrown out by the Commander with great force.
These stones, like meteors, pierced the night sky and brought a moment of light to the archers.
The rest of the strong men immediately learned to be in command and did the same thing.
The strength of the strong is full, the Yuan Stone can be thrown thousands of meters, and there are even strong people who can resist the sword, injecting ideas into the Yuan Stone, and when it crosses the sky above the barbarian army, it bursts with a burst of light.
The light, even for a moment, allowed the archers to find their target, and before they could give the order, they let go of the fingers that had hooked the bowstring.
The bowstring, which was drawn into a full moon, instantly tightened, and the huge force pushed the feather arrow into the sky.
When the feather arrow flew out of a distance of more than 300 meters, it reached its highest point, and then the arrow edged down and fell to the ground.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air was endless, and even temporarily covered the war drums of the barbarians.
"Poof!"
The moment a feathered arrow touched the barbarian's body, the seal on the arrow suddenly lit up, making the arrow extremely sharp!
Killed the first barbarian in the siege.
