Chapter 185: Leopards
Three candidates entered the fortress through the side door with 1,200 soldiers, and the four candidates who walked away gritted their teeth angrily. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There are only 1,200 soldiers left of the three of them, which is indeed miserable enough, but fortunately, Li Rong has never too few soldiers, and has taken them all, and made a promise that as long as the three of them cooperate well with the management of the fortress and concentrate on assisting Zhang Kaiyao, he Li Rong will shelter them until the last moment.
Considering that the three of them also need manpower to manage things, Li Rong also thoughtfully arranged ten militiamen for each of them to send, and the three of them accepted it with unnatural expressions.
They knew that Li Rong had no reason to trust them, so these ten militiamen were not only helping, but also monitoring their every move.
Zhang Kaiyu had never enjoyed this kind of "treatment", and the superiority of the pioneers was instantaneous, and he was a little excited when he thought that he would have three more younger brothers in the future.
"Don't worry, that's how I came, Li Rong is righteous and cheerful enough, as long as you don't think crookedly and help well, there will always be a place for you in the fortress. ”
It's not inflammatory, but it's convincing.
With Zhang Kai in front of them, the new three joiners are also willing to believe that the day of freedom will come soon.
It is not certain when the day of freedom will come, but the beast tide has actually arrived three days later.
The scouts who had been sent out returned one after another, followed closely behind by the endless army of beasts under the crush of black.
With the experience of the last time, Li Rong's preparations this time were more sufficient, not to mention that there were many traps buried around the fortress, and the four city walls were also hung with quenched iron thistles, which guaranteed that those beasts flying on the walls would suffer a big loss.
Zhang Kailu and the four of them were stragglers, and the beast tide they encountered in the first wave of beast tide was very small, but they suffered a big loss because they did not have a base to resist, this time they were in the fortress, and they thought it would be very safe, but when they saw the beasts that kept pouring out on the distant horizon, their hearts immediately sank.
The scale of this beast tide was much larger than the first time, not only did the number increase, but the level of the beasts also rose to a new level.
Watching the group of leopards running as fast as lightning rush towards the fortress, the corners of Li Rong's mouth couldn't help twitching.
It seems that the beast tide of the Array Battlefield does not come from the surroundings, this should be a fixed test.
The leopards running in the Gobi are very fresh, but the hunters on the grassland are still terrible in the Gobi, they are more swift and agile than the wolves, less cooperative, but more forbearant and decisive.
Leopards are much more capable of fighting on their own than wolves, and the fur of these leopards is faintly shiny, making them look like different leopards.
Soon, the first group of leopards appeared not far from the fortress, and the trap planted by Li Rong in advance played its role again, the flat ground suddenly collapsed, and the leopard who jumped above the trap stepped into the air and fell hard.
The big pit is only the first step, and then it is a net made of fishing nets and sharp iron sheets, after the leopards go deeper, Li Rong gave an order, the net was immediately closed, and all the leopards in it were included, the leopards were struggling in the net, rampage, but they could only make the net tighter and tighter.
The leopards in the rear witnessed the tragic situation ahead, and cleverly jumped ahead to avoid the pits and nets, but when they landed, the steel nails penetrated the soles of their feet, making them completely incapacitated.
This is the third trap planted by Li Rong - the ground nail.
The three traps were followed by a wall covered with thistles, but before they could set foot on the wall, they were subjected to heavy sniping fire from crossbowmen, while boiling oil, logs, and boulders were in place, ready to meet the leopards who rushed into the city.
Unlike the one-sided fighting of the wolf pack, the leopards have a poor ability to work together, so they take a free attack method, they surround the fortress and attack the way they like.
Dealing with this kind of fast and relatively scattered beast tide army, the power of the catapult became minimal, Li Rong decisively changed the direction of the catapult, and used the boulder to block the road of the beast tide through the fortress to buy time for the city in the rear.
The commanders on the city wall carried out Li Rong's orders in an orderly manner, while the military advisors stood beside Li Rong to watch the situation, occasionally reminding Li Rong of the dangerous areas of the battle.
The quartermaster hides at the end of the army, but every soldier's kill count doesn't escape his eyes.
The vanguard general led the Allied cavalry and the cavalry of the fortress in the center of the fortress, and whenever there was pressure on any of the walls, he would immediately bring people to support.
Everything was well organized.
A well-developed military system plays a very powerful role in warfare.
"Judging from the current situation, we can easily resist this beast tide. "The military advisor looked at the big picture and came to a gratifying conclusion.
Li Rong nodded: "With the current strength of the fortress, there is more than enough to defend the city, but we can't take it lightly, order it to go down, let the logistics prepare more arrows, in addition, the beast tide siege may last for a long time, you observe and observe, and tell me as soon as you find anything, I ......"
Before Li Rong could finish speaking, a militiaman ran up the city wall in a panic and came straight to Li Rong.
Li Rong's unspoken words were swallowed, and he frowned and looked at the militia who was running towards him.
According to the regulations, the militia's duty in wartime was to manage the streets and keep the people from running around, and they were also responsible for clearing out wild beasts that broke into the fortress.
But now that the beast has not broken through the rain of arrows, it is impossible for the beast to leak in, and the militia should not run to find him, could it be that something has happened?
"Marshal, it's not good to ...... big thing"
Something really happened!
After listening to the militia's report, Li Rong's face became solemn.
He cast his gaze to the horizon and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The second beast tide was really different from the first one, the first beast tide only came from wolves, but this second time, in addition to the leopards who were attacking the city on the surface, there was also a group of poisonous snakes that invaded the fortress at some point.
The snakes in the Gobi are very distinctive, their colors can be well integrated into the Gobi environment, it is difficult for people who are not careful to find their existence, in addition, they contain highly poisonous, they are bitten, if they are not treated in time, the quenching realm martial artist will die soon, and the Tongmai realm martial artist does not hold on for a few hours.
It's a terrible bunch of enemies!
"Are you sure it's a poisonous snake? Do you know where it came from? Are there any casualties? Has the poisonous snake been killed?" Li Rong asked three times in a row.
The militia nodded and said: "It's a poisonous snake, it's not clear where it infiltrated from nowhere, we have sent people to search, we found out that the problem was already two families dead, it was when we were patrolling and heard the screams in the room, and the militia who went in was also bitten, and the loss was treated in time, and the life was saved, but the military doctor said that I am afraid that there will be no way to participate in the battle within three days." ”
Li Rong nodded, and said to the military advisor: "Military advisor, you take care of the frontal battlefield for me, as long as there are no new changes, everything is carried out according to our previous plan, I will go and see the situation in the fortress." ”
The military advisor nodded and took the order. (To be continued.) )
