The cavalry rushed all the way in from the front of the beast tide, and were invincible all the way with the momentum of the charge, but as the momentum of the charge was blocked by more and more fierce beasts, their advance was greatly resisted.

"The cavalry retreats, the archers prepare to take cover!" the lord of the city did not know what was being used, and the sound was very clear even when it reached all positions around the city walls.

Hearing the order, the cavalry team suddenly changed direction, and everyone began to charge diagonally, but by pulling and tearing out a clearing in the tide of fierce beasts, then turned the horse's head and began to run towards Star Soul Town.

The speed of the war horse was still much faster than that of many fierce beasts, and soon, the cavalry team broke away from the beast tide, and the two wings of the triangular cone-shaped arrow array contracted, and the fish penetrated the gate of Star Soul Town.

"Shoot the arrows!" With a loud shout from the city lord, thousands of feathered arrows broke through the air, crossed the cavalry team that was about to enter the city, and landed on the fierce beast group pursuing behind them, and with the cover of this round of firepower, the cavalry team all successfully returned to the city.

As the last cavalry rushed into the city, the soldiers guarding the gate began to push the gate hard, and in a loud rumbling sound, the gate slowly closed, and the huge metal gate closed, which also meant that if the beast tide wanted to enter the city, it would have to climb the city wall, or, smash through the heavy gate.

Balistas and trebuchets are still firing, crossbow arrows with small arms and half-human height boulders have become the talisman of the beasts, after all, the Silver Moon Empire is not one of those superpowers, and it does not have the ability to deploy a few cannons for the important towns on the border, otherwise, with powerful firepower, Star Soul Town is likely to be able to make the beasts pay a huge price before the beast tide approaches the city wall.

The beast tide was still advancing at a slow speed under the suppression of limited long-range firepower, the sound of bowstrings, shouts, the roar of boulders falling to the ground and the roar of fierce beasts had made it difficult for Zhou Ming to hear what the people around him were saying, but in his ears, the city lord's command was still clear, and Zhou Ming didn't have time to think about what it was, because at this time, he saw something even more terrifying.

"What's that!" a hunter exclaimed and pointed to the sky, and the people around looked up in response, only to see that black flying beasts had already flown over Star Soul Town under the cover of night.

"It's a shadow bat!" exclaimed a hunter who recognized the flying beast, "a four-star shadow bat." ”

Generally, the level of the flying beast is one level higher than that of the ground beast with its strength, after all, except for the long-range hunter who uses the bow and crossbow, it is difficult for other hunters to inflict effective damage on them, and the shadow bat is even more so, in the dark night, it can silently approach you, hover above you, and take your life the moment you let your guard down the most.

However, of course, such a large number of shadow bats could not completely conceal their bodies, so this group of fierce beasts like dark clouds crossing the border quickly attracted the attention of more people, this group of shadow bats may not be as threatening as the huge group of fierce beasts on the ground, but they can ignore the city wall and fly directly into the interior of Star Soul Town. Moreover, only the archers can deal with them, but if the suppression of the archers is lost, the beast tide will hit the walls of Star Soul Town earlier on the premise of paying a smaller price, and for a while, the archers are in a dilemma, not knowing which side to shoot the arrows in their hands.

"Archers listen to the order to kill the Shadow Bat in the sky first, and don't let them enter Starsoul Town, hunters, I hope you can go to the ballista and trebuchet to prevent the Shadow Bat from destroying these siege equipment. ”

The hunters immediately began to disperse, and in this life-and-death crisis, no one would refuse an order because of their own willfulness, and the hunters of the brigade turned into small teams, as if they were improvised in the hunters' union, and the hunters formed a team of three or five people, scattered to each of the heavy weapons on the northern city wall, silently protecting the soldiers who operated the heavy weapons.

The archers removed the battlements, bent their bows to the sky, and threw feathered arrows into the sky, and the feathered arrows cut through the arc to penetrate the dark clouds, but the effect was not ideal, only a few dozen shadow bats fell from the sky, and fell into the tide of fierce beasts below and were trampled to pieces in an instant.

"These things are too flexible, such a projectile can't hit at all!" Many archers find out after shooting two or three arrows, because the shadow bats rely on special sound waves to discern their surroundings, so they are not affected by the deterioration of their vision at night, they can feel the feather arrows shooting at them from a long distance, and then avoid them, so this kind of long-range projectile is difficult to kill them.

"All the squads of archers are gathered in large groups, and they are changed from free fire to salvo, and all the beasts of the sky must be brought down to me. ”

The road is one foot high and the demon is one foot high, and the on-the-spot adaptability of seeing the move reflects the strength of a general, at this point, it is obvious that this Star Soul City Lord is very experienced, since the shadow bat is good at dodging, well, we use salvo fire to weave a firepower net, you can dodge one or two arrows, but can you dodge a rain of arrows?

Sure enough, under the powerful firepower of the salvo, the shadow bat only supported three rounds before it collapsed, this fierce beast is more like an assassin in the human race, with extraordinary concealment ability and flexible dodge ability, but when it comes to defense, it is not flattering, basically no shadow bat can still insist on flying after being hit by an arrow, so when these guys finally start to dive and attack from the sky above Star Soul Town, the original "black cloud" is only a few hundred of them.

Controlling the situation in the sky, the archers hurried back to the battlements, but unfortunately they were a step late, and the tide of fierce beasts was already under the city, and the fierce beasts of the first echelon actually slammed directly into the city wall with their bodies.

"Boom", Zhou Ming felt the city wall under his feet tremble, like a slight earthquake, although shocking, but it will not lead to the collapse of the city wall, the archer poked his head out of the battlements and shot down, shooting down the fierce beasts that tried to climb the city wall, but there are always some fierce beasts with carapace or outstanding defense can not be done with one or two arrows, with the first ghost gibbon to step on the city wall pulled the archers standing next to the battlements off the city wall, and the white-knuckle battle on the city head officially began.

"The archers retreated, and the soldiers of the first and second brigades and the hunters with melee weapons went to the front, and beat down all the beasts that tried to climb up in vain, and the archers were responsible for blocking the beasts behind them by throwing them, and killed as many as they could. "The commander in charge of the defense of the northern wall has no means of the city lord, and can only rely on a few heralds to spread the order throughout the city wall by shouting.

Zhou Ming and the two old hunters around him are still dealing with the shadow bats that fall from the sky, the two old hunters are very experienced, whenever there are shadow bats swooping in their direction, Zhou Ming only needs to block this blow, and then the two hunters will use a large net with a lead sinker to directly block the shadow bats in it, and the flying beasts that have lost their ability to fly are not a threat to the hunters at all, so Zhou Ming and their group are very efficient, and even Zhou Ming still has time to rush to the city to cut down the two fierce beasts that are about to climb up.

The corpses of the fierce beasts under the city are piled up more and more, many of them are killed by hunters and soldiers, and there are also many of them are trampled alive by the fierce beasts that catch up behind, this kind of deadly charge is very terrifying, the fierce beasts climb higher by the corpses of the fierce beasts in front of them, and then they are pushed back by the hunters and soldiers or stabbed or chopped down, becoming the stepping stone of the next batch of fierce beasts, the chaotic and tragic battle lasted for half an hour in the sound of war drums, and the corpses of five or six meters high fierce beasts have been piled up under the ten-meter-high city wall, this time, more fierce beasts can easily climb the city wall, and the pressure of the soldiers standing at the head of the city rises sharply。

"Hold on, hold on, don't let the beasts rush up!" the herald ran back and forth above the city, shouting in a hoarse voice.

However, the casualty rate is still rising in a straight line, the fierce beasts of the first echelon are all from the outermost part of the Star Soul Forest, it can be said that they are just a ragtag army sent to death, and the battle has reached the present, and there are already high-ranking fierce beasts appearing, these guys are generally larger and stronger, as long as one rushes to the city, it can cause a large number of casualties in a small area.

The center of the town, on the top floor of the lookout tower.

There were three people standing here at this time, one of them was observing the battle situation around him, holding something in his hand and giving orders constantly, and the other two stood silently on the sidelines. The person who gave the order was naturally the city lord, if Zhou Ming was here, he would also be able to recognize Hong Menglong among the two behind him, and at this time, another person spoke: "City lord, are we just looking at it?"

The city lord put down the sound transmission stone in his hand, turned to him and said: "I don't want to watch the soldiers go to death and do nothing myself, but this time the beast tide is coming very violently, according to this posture, the fierce beast leader of the beast tide this time is likely to be a heaven-level beast emperor, you kill it now, who will deal with it then?"
