Chapter 15: The Tide of the Beast (II)

"Clean up the battlefield and carry the wounded and dead down. "There are special officers who are starting to give orders.

"Young Master, the situation is not good!!" Li Xin and several other officers came to Ye Qing's side with a solemn face.

"What's wrong?" Although Ye Qing had inquired about the beast tide, he hadn't experienced it in person for a long time.

"There are hundreds of birds in the first wave of bird attacks, and the leader is still a soldier-level fierce beast, such a thing has never happened before, in the past, the first wave of birds was generally a few or a dozen ordinary fierce beasts, even if there were many, there would be no soldier-level fierce beasts to lead the team, and the number of land fierce beasts was only hundreds of ............ at most" Before Li Xin finished speaking, a terrifying roar came from the distance.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

This is the real battlefield, and there are far more beasts on land than in the air!

Thundered!

The sound of the fierce beasts running was like rolling thunder, and the scene of thousands of fierce beasts running wildly was so spectacular that the whole earth trembled!

Rushing to the front are hundreds of blood wolves who are good at long-distance running, ordinary blood wolves are just ordinary fierce beasts, but the head wolf is indeed a soldier-level fierce beast, such a large group of blood wolves must have the existence of a head wolf. They ran wild on the ground like wild dogs with their tongues out, their white fangs exposed, and their dark green eyes filled with murder and bloodlust, their fervent desire to tear apart the bodies of their foes.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa—"

The blood wolves were only halfway through, and dozens of them screamed and fell to the ground, they stepped on the trap set on the side of the road, and in the high-speed running, one blood wolf fell to the ground, and it was easy to trip over the other blood, and the result was that they were directly trampled to death by a large number of blood wolves rushing from behind!

These were all carefully prepared by the hunters of Dongjiang Town, but due to the geographical location, this trap was not set much, and after the blood wolves lost nearly a hundred heads, they finally rushed under the city walls.

On the city wall, Ye Qing, Fu Bo, and the officers of the garrison were looking at the scene in the distance with a sad face, and there were many panicked looks on their faces.

In the distance, there were thousands of demonic beasts densely packed, all of kinds, blood wolves, porcupines, and violent apes devouring golden rats...... There are all kinds of ordinary fierce beasts, and each one of them is extremely violent, with a slightly red gaze and drooling at the corners of their mouths. Not only that, but among them, there are also all kinds of fierce beasts, even fierce guys like the Red Bronze Tiger.

"Archer prepare!"

"Put!!"

When the beast was in range, the herald flag waved, and thousands of people shot together again.

It was much easier to attack the fierce beasts on the ground than the fierce beasts in the sky just now, and a wave of arrows rained down, and hundreds of fierce beasts fell.

However, after such a large-scale shot, the faster beasts had already rushed under the city walls and began to attack the city.

In the beginning, soldiers could also use the height of the walls to throw boulders to wear down the beast army.

This trick is indeed good, relying on the city wall is seven or eight meters high, the fierce beasts have nothing to do for a while, and they can only be stoned to death by boulders under the wall one after another.

However, there were too many fierce beasts, and they finally built a hill with the corpses of their companions and boulders, and after this hill reached a certain height, the demonic beasts behind them could jump directly onto the city wall by stepping on this "corpse mountain".

"The shield soldiers are in front, and the pikemen are behind!" With the military order, hundreds of tower shields more than one person high rushed to the front, and erected the tower shields on the edge of the city wall, while the pikemen shrank between the two shield soldiers and pierced the spears through the gaps in the tower shields.

Beyond the last line of defense of the city walls, a large number of fierce beasts rushed against the shield.

"Gun array!"

Thousands of pikemen, thousands of spears pierced out from between the towers and shields, and pierced into the body of the fierce beast, and between the stabs and the harvest, blood splattered and internal organs flowed.

Although the soldiers' individual strength is far inferior to that of the fierce beasts, with the cooperation of formations and equipment, they can exert a terrifying power that is more powerful than the sum of their individual strength.

At the beginning, the number of fierce beasts jumping over was still small, and the soldiers were able to kill them easily. But as time goes by, more and more fierce beasts jump onto the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall are already a little difficult, and the city wall is relatively narrow, which is not conducive to human play, even if the soldiers can kill the fierce beast, they have to be hung by the fierce beast to hang a few wounds on the body. What's even more terrifying is that the fierce beasts follow one after another, giving humans no time to react at all, and they are not afraid of death.

"I can't go on like this, open the gates of the city and go out of the city to fight. Ye Qing was surprisingly calm at this time.

"Open the city gate to fight!!" Li Xin also realized that something was wrong, and decisively issued an order, leading all the soldiers of the garrison out of the city to fight, and handing over the vacated positions to the people who came to assist in the defense of the city.

It is a very difficult thing to open the city gate, because outside is the mountain of corpses of fierce beasts, the soldiers took a lot of effort to open the city gate, and then two thousand soldiers rushed out, and the murderous spirit shook the sky in an instant, these soldiers are very commendable, they know that they will die if they go out of the city, or they rush out fearlessly, war, many times it is hotter than the blood of which side, which side of the people are even more desperate.

When the gates were opened, the beasts no longer attacked the walls, as they threatened their presence below.

For a while, the soldiers of the garrison who left the city formed a heavily defended gun array, which was no weaker than the charge of thousands of fierce beasts.

There are no flashy skills, so the soldiers are stabbing frequently and orderly under the orders of the opposing officers, and for a while, even the fierce beasts of the strong rank cannot break through the formation of the soldiers, causing a lot of damage to the fierce beasts.

At this time, Li Xin and several other officers also joined the battlefield, Li Xin is worthy of being able to be the existence of the garrison captain, the martial arts are strong, every time he shoots, he can take the life of a fierce beast, even if the fierce beast of the military rank, there are several fallen under Li Xin's gun, and the situation on the battlefield is slowly improving.

"It's not good, it's going to be a fierce beast!!"

Suddenly, a rapid exclamation sounded in Ye Qing's ears, it was Fu Bo.

"Rank Beast Ironclad Bear!!" Obviously, not only Fauber found out, but the others also began to exclaim.

"Young master, be careful yourself, Li Xin can't deal with this fierce beast alone, I'll go down to help!" After speaking, without waiting for Ye Qing's answer, he jumped directly from the city wall.

The appearance of the rank fierce beast caused a certain loss to the spear array, but fortunately, Li Xin rushed up in time to withstand the ironclad bear, otherwise the entire phalanx might collapse.

Fu Bo really deserves to be a hidden master, the iron bear that has been pressing Li Xin has not gone through a single move at the moment Fu Bo, and he was shot in the head, you must know that the best thing about the iron bear is his defense, especially the head, but now he is easily pierced by Fu Bo, you can imagine how strong Fu Bo's strength is.

After killing the Ironclad Bear, Forber continued to hunt the beasts until all the beasts were dead.

But despite Ye Qing's repeated questioning, Fu Bo refused to say how strong his strength was.

Without the leading rank beasts, the fierce beasts of these platforms died in large numbers under the attack of the garrison, and only a very small number of fierce beasts ran back into the mountains.

At this point, the beast tide defense battle is over.

Cleaning the battlefield, more than 4,000 corpses of fierce beasts were found, thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded, and Ye Qing lost half of his troops in an instant.

Fortunately, only half of the deaths were killed or disabled, and the rest were still allowed to return to the team after treatment.

Although the number of troops has been reduced, the entire garrison has been qualitatively improved in all aspects, if the garrison a day ago was able to defeat the same number of enemies, then the current garrison can defeat several times the enemy, and even in the face of ten times the enemy, it will not be too badly defeated.

The people who helped defend the city also suffered hundreds of casualties, mainly because the garrison handed over the city defense to them, but compared to the thousands of civilian casualties before, it was already very good, and in general, the loss of the territory was still within Ye Qing's tolerance.

Afterwards, Ye Qing found someone to learn that a beast tide of this scale had not occurred since the establishment of Dongjiang Town, otherwise according to the combat effectiveness of the previous garrison, Dongjiang Town would have been wiped out several times.

Some people speculate that it is because of the appearance of general-rank fierce beasts that triggered such a large-scale beast tide, Daqingshan is just a small mountain in the Qingshan Mountain Range, and there will be no general-level fierce beasts for decades, and a few military-level fierce beasts can dominate Daqingshan.

Later, the bold hunter went into the mountain to explore, and found that the fierce beasts in the entire Qingshan have not existed in a hundred, according to this situation, there will be no beast tide in the next few years, as long as you pay attention to killing some powerful fierce beasts at ordinary times, maybe there will be no beast tide in Dongjiang Town from now on.

The next day, the battlefield was cleaned up, all the fierce beasts were centrally processed by the garrison, some of the more valuable ones such as furs were sold to the caravans, and a large part of the remaining meat was also distributed to the residents who helped defend the city.

Ordinary ferocious beast meat is a rare tonic for those who practice martial arts, compared to domestic livestock, the meat of ferocious beasts contains aura, and eating the meat of ferocious beasts can improve the cultivation speed of martial artists.

And the aura contained in the soldier-rank and general-rank fierce beasts is even more, even if it is a master like Fu Bo, eating the meat of the general-rank fierce beast has a little effect, but it is too weak.

However, for Ye Qing and the soldiers of the garrison, with this batch of fierce beast meat, their strength will be rapidly improved.

As soon as the pressure of the beast tide was gone, he also felt a sense of relief, the aftermath was completed under Ye Qing's personal supervision, and for the families who sacrificed soldiers and residents, Ye Qing gave a large amount of pension, enough for them to spend the rest of their lives smoothly, and promised to let one of their children go to school for free.

After the beast tide, people began to be busy with the autumn harvest, this year's harvest was much better than in previous years, Ye Qing directly ordered the garrison and horse bandit captives to participate in the autumn harvest, which greatly increased the speed of the autumn harvest.

The joy of the autumn harvest gradually diluted the sorrow caused by the beast tide, and the inhabitants of the territory began to smile with joy.

However, the joy brought to Ye Qing by the harvest did not last long before it was interrupted.

On this day, Ye Qing finished teaching in the academy and was wandering around the town.

Along the way, there were people who greeted Ye Qing and the others affectionately, and respectfully greeted him, it seems that what Ye Qing has done in the past period of time is quite popular here.

""Thousand Character Text" and "Hundred Family Names" are almost finished, what should be taught next, "Three Character Classic"? No, there are too many places that need to be changed, but you can use "Disciple Rules" to top it first, they are all the same type of enlightenment books, and the effect is almost the same. “

"But my style hasn't grown in a while, and it seems like it's time to write a spiritual book......"

Ye Qing was thinking about things, when he suddenly heard a noise in front of him, Ye Qing's face changed, due to the remote geographical location of Dongjiang Town, the flow of people is not large, everyone is a fellow villager, and the security of the ancient territory has always been very good, at least Ye Qing has not heard of any crimes since he became the lord.

Curious, Ye Qing walked in the direction where the voice came from.

The place where the trouble was made was a small inn called "Come Again", and at the moment the tables and chairs in the lobby of the inn were in a mess, and a playboy who looked like he was overly drunk sat in the middle, and several men in leather armor blocked the entrance. There were many residents outside, but everyone dared not speak out.

"What's going on?" the garrison reacted well, and after a short time of a quarrel, soldiers on duty arrived at the scene.

Without waiting for anyone to answer, he heard a few bangs, and the man guarding the gate drew his sword at the same time, the tip of the sword was facing outward, and he looked unkind. At this time, the playboy in the store said neatly: "It's nothing, this shopkeeper has unclean hands and feet, and he actually steals our money from outsiders." Fortunately, we were aware of it in time. ”

His words immediately caused a buzz of dissatisfaction from the onlookers, and a few bold ones had retorted: "Nonsense, Aunt Li is the fairest in business, how can she steal people's money?"

"It's obvious that you are deliberately making trouble!"

Regarding everyone's accusations, the playboy didn't speak, just looked at Qin Fei. The leader of the garrison is called Qin Fei, one of the senior officers of the garrison, and his martial arts are good, and he said: "I am Qin Fei of the garrison of Dongjiang Town, please come back to the garrison with me if you have anything." ”

The playboy smiled disdainfully: "Joke, this shop bullies customers from other places, you don't arrest the shopkeeper, but want to arrest us, what does this mean?" His subordinates immediately followed suit, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Qin Fei was an excellent soldier, but he was not a person who could speak well, so he had no choice but to say, "What about Aunt Li?"

The playboy turned back and ordered, "Go, bring those two thieves out for me." ”

A man quickly shoved and shoved the two women out. The older one is the shopkeeper of this inn, Aunt Li, this person Ye Qing knows, compared to the few inns in the town, it is difficult not to know, she is about 40 years old, chubby figure, with a healthy flush on her face, and an apron around her waist, she looks very capable. Her hands were sleeved up to her elbows, her hands still stained with oil, and she was obviously cooking before the accident.

When he saw the girl beside Aunt Li, Ye Qing's eyes immediately lit up. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face and messy hair, but she did not lose a kind of beauty with pear blossoms and rain. She also pulled her sleeves up to her elbows like Aunt Li, and her milky white skin was as bright as ivory.

This girl Ye Qing also knows, she is the daughter of Aunt Li, named Li Ruyu.

The man's rude behavior immediately caused dissatisfaction among everyone, and Aunt Li and Li Ruyu were not afraid, and the two walked into the lobby with unyielding faces, showing their strong character.

"Aunt Li, what's going on?" Qin Fei asked the two.
