Chapter 78: Preparing for War
Hearing the words 'siege beast', Ge Tianbing's face also became ugly.
In the history of the war between humans and demons, there will be siege monsters in every large-scale city battle. Ge Tianbing had never seen this kind of huge beast with a single horn on its head and a body harder than a rock, but he was already afraid just by reading the description in the book.
According to the records in the history books of mankind, this giant beast has extremely strong defense, and even the full force of the peak cultivators of the Four Realms cannot break through the stone skin on its body, if it is given a long enough distance to charge, it can easily crash through the two-meter-thick city wall when its speed is at its limit.
The walls of Black Rock City are more than eight meters thick in the narrow places and twelve meters in the wide places, and the possibility of breaking the walls is not worried about Ge Tianbing, he is worried about the city gates.
There are many accounts in the book of human cities being smashed open by siege beasts, and those gates are several times stronger than those of Black Rock City.
"Then, what should I do?" Ge Tianbing felt that his throat was a little dry, and said with a bitter face: "If the demon army really uses the siege beast, the city gate of Black Rock City will definitely not be able to stop it, it is said that the impact force of the siege beast running with all its strength can even collapse a hill, even if the city gate is reinforced, it is useless." ”
"Our greatest strength is the city. Mu Yang said with a solemn expression: "Once the city is broken, it will be all over." Therefore, no matter what means are used, the city must be defended. ”
"Nonsense, do you still need to say this?" Ge Tianbing said angrily: "I just want to know, how to defend it! If the siege beast really comes, how to break it!"
Mu Yang thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "How high and wide is the gate of Black Rock City?"
Ge Tianbing was stunned and said, "Six meters two high, seven meters three wide, what are you asking for?"
"Six meters two, seven meters three......" Mu Yang muttered a few times and said, "Fortunately, it seems that you can only bet once." ”

In the spring of 2547 in the Taichu calendar, several major events occurred in a small border city called Heiyan in the territory of the Song King of the Great Xia Kingdom.
First of all, the Momen's top star armor system zuò cheat book "Tianyan Seven Volumes" appeared in the city, shocking the major family forces in the city and all the hunter group mercenary cultivators.
Immediately afterwards, "Tianyan Seven Volumes" fell into the hands of Xue Sanliang, the largest underworld leader in the north of the city, and Xue's mansion was eradicated overnight, and Xue Sanliang's identity as a wolf demon was made public, but the Momen cheats were not recovered, and there has been no news since.
Just when the people in the city were celebrating the elimination of Xue Sanliang, an undercover demon clan, the demon army suddenly came to the city, and Black Rock City fell into a desperate situation that it had never seen before.
At the time of crisis, the young man named Muyang, who had assisted the city lord in destroying the Xue Mansion, stepped forward again, commanded the defenders to confront the demon army, and won the first battle of defending the city with an absolute disadvantage of six hundred to four thousand.
On that day, the identity of the son of Muyang True Demon was revealed, and the people of the city fell into fear and struggle that almost collapsed.
That night, the annual senator's meeting in the city was held in advance in the city lord's mansion, and the great elder of the Cao family was killed on the spot because of the fornication with the demon army, and the entire Cao family was wiped out under the joint raid of the other five major families.
This news did not spread because of the siege of the demon army, and it was a few years before it became the talk of the human kings and nobles after dinner.

In the Council Chamber of the Black Rock City City Lord's Mansion.
Mu Yang sat on Ge Tianbing's wide city lord chair and carefully looked at the thick stack of copywriting on the table.
The content of these texts is complicated, including the history of Black Rock City, the statistics of the city's population, the records of weapons and armor in the armory, the list of medicinal materials in the inventory of the Rejuvenation Hall, the rare treasures available in the auction house, and the number of horses of the Yan family.
After every few pages, Mu Yang made a few strokes on a pale yellow piece of paper, and the herald waiting next to him took a few steps forward, picked up the yellow paper and looked at it twice, and then quickly walked out of the hall and disappeared into the vast night.
With the yellow notes coming out of the city lord's mansion, the Black Rock City at night suddenly came to life like a giant beast awakened, under the light of the dim street lamps at the entrance of the streets and alleys, a soldier and ordinary people quickly shuttled, they sometimes gathered together, sometimes quickly dispersed, seemingly chaotic but orderly, if you look from the air, like a group of silent ants are silently busy.
In a rush of horses' hooves, three carriages entered the Xue Mansion under the escort of twenty city defense soldiers, and when they came out, each carriage was loaded with seven or eight tall wooden barrels, and under the order of the leading generals, they quickly drove towards the north gate.
Outside the wall of a tall compound with blue bricks and green tiles in the east of the city, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe stood under the wall and glanced at the wall more than three meters high, waved his big hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Demolish!"
Dozens of strong men with hammers and pickaxes climbed up the high wall at the sound of the sound, and with the swing of the pickaxe hammer in their hands, the heavy wall bricks fell to the ground with a muffled bang, and were soon loaded onto horse-drawn carts and transported to the city wall.
On the Black Rock Avenue less than 100 meters away from the city gate, hundreds of city citizens were silently busy under the leadership of Ge Tianbing, each of them held a shovel in their hands, with the wave of their arms, an eight-meter square earth pit in the middle of the avenue was constantly deepening, and the raised soil was quickly piled up into a hill around.
Similar scenes have occurred in many places in Black Rock City, this night, I don't know how many courtyard walls were demolished into rubble and moved to the city wall, I don't know how many house beams were cut into wooden planks and assembled into temporary catapults, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, until midnight, Black Rock City was like a vegetable field arched by wild boars, full of broken walls and ruins, a depressed and dilapidated scene.
Yellow notes flew out of the council chamber of the City Lord's Mansion one after another, and the seven young and strong heralds oozed fine beads of sweat from their foreheads because they had worked too hard, but the respect in the eyes of the young man behind the table was even stronger.
The night is getting darker.
For the next day's battle, the soldiers and people in the city sweated like rain and silently built fortifications.
In the camp of the demon army outside the city, a gluttonous feast has also begun.
A wall of fire nearly 100 meters long surrounded thousands of demon soldiers.
They used their war spears and spears to build a bracket, and put the corpse of a blood skeleton warrior on the burning flame, the swaying flames burned the flesh and blood, making a sneering sound, in the pungent smell of burning, the blood skeleton warriors fell to the ground one after another, chanting unknown incantations, like a prayer to the demon god, and like a curse from the devil, as the chanting became higher and higher, the blood skeleton warrior on the ground suddenly took out a sharp beast tooth more than ten centimeters long from his body, howled and threw himself at the corpse on the fire wall, they didn't care about the burning flames under their feet, they seemed to be crazy to pierce the beast tooth in their hands deep into the corpse on the shelf, and slammed it hard, cut off a piece of bloody flesh and stuff it into his mouth, and chew it heavily.
