Chapter 81: Fire Rain
The two armies are fighting, and the most important morale is the most important.
Mu Yang deliberately raised his voice when he said these words, not only the defenders and civilians of Black Rock City, but even the demon army in the distance could hear it clearly.
Leper Jiu stood on the chariot, his face extremely unsightly with extreme anger and resentment.
He knew that this was Muyang deliberately suppressing his morale, but there was nothing he could do. Because Muyang is right, he is afraid, in the past few years on the island, he has seen Muyang's endless Yin methods, he is the same kind of person as himself, and he will have a back hand when he does anything, even if Muyang is the only one on the city tower, Leper Jiu still won't go up, and he doesn't dare to go. He would never risk his life until the last moment, even if he had full confidence to kill or capture Muyang in a one-on-one situation, but he still didn't dare.
This is the nature of the race, and the Nine Babies are the most suspicious and cautious of the ancient demon clan. He was afraid, he was naturally not afraid of Muyang alone, there was Sisi, and Lei Hu, until now he didn't see the shadow of Lei Hu, could it be that this tiger demon was dead?
When he was on the island, Lei Hu was seriously injured by his sneak attack, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to live until now, but Sisi, who is several times more seriously injured than Lei Hu, is still alive, and it is very likely that Lei Hu is not dead.
A Muyang, Leper Jiu has the confidence to win, plus Sisi, he can barely cope with it, but if the purple-eyed silver tiger who likes to exchange injuries for injuries and lives during the battle is also in the city, Leper Jiu will definitely not dare to take risks, not to mention, more than half a year has passed, who knows how much the strength of the three of them has improved?
A mockery full of sarcasm suddenly sounded on the silent castle tower, and the ridicule quickly turned into a shout, into a roar, as if the entire Black Rock City was boiling.
"He's scared!"
"The wizards of the demon army are scared!"
"Black Rock will win!"
"Victory!"
The roar shook the sky, the defenders of the city, and the people hiding behind the city walls and ready to support at any time all screamed, this was an explosion of extreme fear, a roar from the bottom of the heart in the face of death, at this moment, all the fear and despair burst out with the trembling of the lips and throat, only the hot blood and endless war intent burned and boiled in the body.
The faces of the several demon generals who heard Mu Yang's voice all became ugly, and those blood skeleton warriors who couldn't understand human language felt the expanding morale of the defenders in the city, and an inexplicable depression also welled up in their hearts, and even the snort of the war horses under the seat was much heavier.
"Siege, siege!"
Seeing that the black rock defenders were boiling on the city tower, Rogge, the general of the demon army, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and with his order, half of the more than 8,000 blood skeleton warriors jumped off their horses and quickly formed an offensive formation, and the two siege beasts also slowly moved their steps under the control of the beast tamer, adjusting the charging route.
Hearing the sound of military orders coming from behind him, Leper Jiu's vicious eyes swept over the faces of everyone on the city tower, he didn't open his mouth to fight back, at this moment, he knew that no matter how many words he said, he knew better than anyone how mean Mu Yang's poisonous tongue was, and the only way to fight back was to attack, as long as he captured Black Rock City, as long as he planted the blood skull flag of the demon army on the opposite tower, it was the best reward for the humiliation in front of him.
The black chariot slowly drove towards the camp of the demon army, no one on the city tower released arrows, with yesterday's experience, the soldiers knew that these ordinary arrows could not play a role at all in front of a powerhouse of the Five Realms, and it was better to leave it to those ordinary blood skeleton warriors than to waste it.
The horn of the demon army's charge was officially sounded with Leper Jiu's return to the camp.
Four thousand Blood Skull warriors held steel shields in their hands, roaring and rushing towards the city, compared to yesterday, the number of demon armies attacking head-on today was three times more, and the slender attack shield array was like writhing iron armored centipedes, quickly running over the desert after the rain, leaving muddy ravines behind them.
A red-haired demon general who had just arrived saw the four thousand men rushing out like a tide, and looked at the hundreds of defenders standing on the city wall, and couldn't help but sneer: "Four thousand elite soldiers attacking a small Black Rock City is really a waste, I think this siege beast can be taken in one fell swoop without any dispatch, what do you say, General Rogge." ”
Rogge turned his head and glanced at Leper Jiu on the chariot not far away, and said: "This is the meaning of the military advisor, you can't underestimate the son of the true demon, even if the demon blood in his body has just awakened for less than a year, the power after the outbreak should not be underestimated." ”
The red-haired demon general snorted and said, "After the city is broken, I want to see how strong the True Demon Child can be...... See, there are still 300 meters to get to the city, and the city has no reaction at all, and the spear throwers can play a role if they get closer to 150 meters, even if they want to use catapults, it's too late, I think ......"
The red-haired demon suddenly stopped in the middle of his words, and in his sight, he saw a fireball the size of a millstone suddenly appear behind the castle tower of Black Rock City, and the fireball flew over the tower more than ten meters high into the air, and smashed towards a demon army shield array team that was rushing forward.
The demon army shield array team that rushed forward quickly dodged a few meters to the side as if it had eyes at the moment the fireball fell, and the fireball grazed the edge of the shield array and smashed to the ground, and the splashed sparks and gravel were blocked by the armor and shield of the Blood Skull warrior, causing no casualties.
A look of disdain flashed in the red-haired demon's eyes, and he was about to say a few sarcastic words, but as soon as his mouth opened, before he could speak, he was startled by a scene in mid-air and even stopped breathing.
He saw that at the same time as the first fireball landed, a rain of fire suddenly appeared in the sky above Black Rock City, and the rain of fire rapidly expanded in his pupils, and each raindrop was a burning fireball, judging from the number, there were hundreds of them!
What's even more unbelievable is that this fire rain covers an extremely wide area, reaching more than 400 meters as far as possible, and less than 200 meters close, which is enough to hit more than half of the Blood Skeleton Warriors.
Rogge's pupils on the side of the war horse suddenly tightened, after the battle yesterday, he made an estimate of the city defense strength of Black Rock City, judging from the number, there are forty heavy crossbows in the city, less than thirty trebuchets, after the battle at the north gate, more than a dozen ballistas were destroyed, and seven trebuchets were also smashed, that is to say, the trebuchets that can come in handy in Black Rock City today are only thirty even if they are smashed,
According to the frequency of trebuchets projectile once every ten breaths, the Blood Skull warriors who can withstand up to three waves of attacks can rush to the city, but now, judging from the sudden rain of fire flying in the sky, it would take at least two hundred or more trebuchets to throw at the same time to create a blow of this magnitude.
Two hundred trebuchets, this is a city defense configuration only found in a medium military fortress, how could so many heavy ordnance pop up in the tiny Black Rock City overnight? How much wood does it take!
Taking a step back, even if there are enough reserves in the city, there must be a place for so many trebuchets, could it be that the houses in the city have been demolished?
Rogge was a little stunned, and at this time, a terrible scream came from among the charging Blood Skull warriors.
