Chapter 172: The Battle of Defending the City

The weather has been getting colder lately, and there has been a light snow in the sky, and the defenders of the city of the north wind have raised a fire above the walls to keep the soldiers warm.

Faintly, a soldier heard a dull sound coming from a distance.

"Elephant Man?" The warrior guessed.

But then he dismissed the idea, he had seen elephant people before, and the elephant people had short hair, and they could not withstand such a cold at all. Besides, the orc tribe is located in the northwest of the city of North Wind, how could it be possible to come from due north?

As thoughts raced, the warrior peered beyond the walls.

"All on alert, sound the alarm!" Who knows, the warrior suddenly began to shout loudly.

"What's wrong, what's the situation?"

The other defenders on the walls didn't know where they were, but when they saw what was happening outside the walls, they immediately panicked.

"Go and call the general!"

"Alarm bells, quick, ring the alarm bells!"

"Boom! Boom!! Boom!!! ”

The bell rings three times in a row, which means that there is an invasion of foreign enemies!

"What's going on?"

Zhang Song finally arrived, and when he saw the scene outside the city wall, his face changed greatly, and then he gave an order: "Everyone change their weapons and equipment and rush to the north city wall!" ”

The warriors talked about what looked like an elephant man, but it was walking on all fours, covered in long hair and huge tusks.

"What kind of monster is this? Elephant Man?! ”

"Although they look a little similar, they shouldn't be human-like."

"It could be some other species similar to the elephant man."

As a city adjacent to the orc area, it is not strange to deal with orcs a lot on weekdays.

Now when they see these creatures that they don't recognize, they don't panic, and they can still calm their breath.

However, the figures that appeared one after another kept refreshing their worldview.

I saw that the mammoth was followed by a big man with a red beard and hair.

Of course, just by the color of their hair and beard, at most they made Zhang Song and them strange for a while, and what surprised them was the mounts under the crotches of those red-bearded men!

"That's supposed to be a cow, right?"

"Why is the cow so big? It's still with such long hair! ”

Cows are very common creatures in Great Xia, but they are still the only ones they have ever seen in their lives.

I don't know how it tastes.

"General, do you want to do it?" One of Zhang Song's lieutenants asked.

Zhang Song didn't speak, but raised his hand slightly, and the three eight-bull crossbows on the north wall of North Wind City began to adjust their angles at the same time.

"There are a lot of barbarians in this group, and it may not be beneficial for us to do it directly, so let's line up a few soldiers to warn us first, and if the other party doesn't listen, we will do it again."

Then, Zhang Song found a few horns made of pure copper and handed them to a few soldiers to shout.

"Tell them that if the army dares to approach again, we will see it as an enemy and attack directly!"

This horn is found in all cities in Great Xia, after all, there are so many soldiers in the barracks, relying on dry roaring, even if their throats are hoarse, not all soldiers can hear it.

When several soldiers heard this, they raised their horns and shouted.

However, Alola and Rowling didn't care, and the barbarian army was still advancing.

In their eyes, the side of the North Wind City is just a weakling, and the low city wall looks less than Ai Ligao, and a single charge can knock down its city wall.

Seeing that the warning was fruitless, Zhang Song no longer had any luck, and asked the soldiers who shouted to retreat, and then asked the soldiers who controlled the Eight Bull Crossbow to get ready. No matter what, Zhang Song would not allow the other party to get close to North Wind City again!

"Eight bulls, aim for that mammoth monster, get ready to shoot!"

Zhang Song had also participated in the previous battle with the orc tribe, so he could see at a glance that the only thing that could really pose a threat to North Wind City was the mammoth that looked like a hill.

As long as the long-haired monster is killed with the eight-bull crossbow, and the walls of the North Wind City are relied on, what is this barbarian army afraid of them?

Under the control of a team of soldiers, the eight-ox crossbow slowly opened its strings, and the special heavy crossbow arrows were quickly placed on it.

Finally, with the humming sound of the crossbow strings, three eight-bull crossbows opened fire at the same time.

The heavy crossbow bolts that broke through the air went straight at the mammoth that was at the forefront of the formation!

The northern tribes advocate force, and the strong are respected.

Rowling can become the leader of the Winter tribe as a woman, which is enough to see that she is extraordinary, and her crisis instinct is even sharper!

When she saw the three eight-bull crossbows moving on the opposite stone wall from a distance, although she didn't know what the eight-ox crossbows were, she had a faint uneasy feeling in her heart.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Almost at the same time as the three heavy crossbow arrows came out of the string, with an elephant roar, the huge body of the mammoth Ai Li suddenly rushed towards the side for some distance.

Then, without waiting for everyone's reaction, three heavy crossbow arrows had already fallen. More than a dozen barbarians couldn't dodge, and in an instant, they were easily killed by these three heavy crossbow arrows.

Seeing this scene, Alola's heart suddenly became furious, among them was the warrior of his yak tribe!

Alola's hair instantly stretched out, and she howled angrily, "Rush me!" Tear down that stone wall and kill all the damn ones! ”

With Alola's order, the warriors of the yak tribe rushed towards the walls of the north wind city with a roar, and it was the strongest combat force of the yak tribe who took the lead in the reunion, and they all rode a yak under their crotch.

For Alola's unauthorized act of launching the charge order, Rowling, who was sitting on the back of the mammoth Ellie, flashed a trace of obvious dissatisfaction in her ice-blue eyes.

But in the current situation, she has no way out.

Helplessly, Rowling patted Eli on the back, and the latter suddenly understood, and after letting out a loud roar, he led the warriors of the Winter Tribe to rush forward.

The battle was completely fought, and in the face of the barbarian army that had begun to advance wildly, the Eight Bull Crossbow continued to pursue the mammoth.

Unexpectedly, the mammoth ran wildly, and the speed was unexpectedly fast, and it was a little difficult for the soldiers who controlled the eight-bull crossbow to aim

The bed crossbowmen, who failed to hit the mammoth several times with concentrated fire, were finally relegated to attacking the hordes of barbarian soldiers.

Zhang Song's heart was a little annoyed, the speed of the mammoth monster was a little beyond his imagination, who would have thought that such a big man would be so flexible. The first round of sniping was nine out of ten, but he failed to cause even a little damage to it.

When the barbarian army was getting closer, the archers on the walls began to try to suppress the guys. It's just that these barbarians are really rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and the rain of arrows shot down is stunned that there is no way to take them, at most they will cause a little skin trauma.

Especially the mammoth and the dozens of yaks, the arrows could not even penetrate their hair, most of the arrows landed, only a few of them, still stubbornly hanging between the hairs.

These guys were under the rain of arrows, and the rush was called a ferocity, and Zhang Song's eyelids twitched.

"Yang Cheng, the commander on the city wall is handed over to you!"

"The last general commands!"

After handing over the task of defending the city wall to the deputy general, Zhang Song hurried towards the direction of the north city gate, once the long-haired monster rushed to the city, the city gate of the north wind city would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of such a behemoth.

In order to avoid the risk of the city gate being breached, for the sake of today, I can only take the initiative to go out of the city to meet it!

Taking over the task of defending the city wall, looking at the rapidly approaching barbarian army, Yang Cheng hurriedly ordered the soldiers to start throwing stones and rolling logs.

Three rounds later, with a signal, the gate of the North Wind City slowly rose.

The barbarians, who noticed the change in the city gate, subconsciously rushed towards the rising city gate.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, sharp spears stabbed out directly, stabbing the barbarian warriors who rushed to the front into a sieve on the spot.

Then, with a steady pace, the defenders of the city of the North Wind maintained the spear formation and launched the first round of head-to-head confrontation with the barbarians!

Such a neat, but incomparably hideous formation, for the barbarians from the bitter cold land, they had never seen before. Just by looking at them, they have already paid the price of blood.

The successive casualties of her own warriors made Alola's anger burn even brighter. But since he can become the leader of the yak tribe, he can't be a fool without brains.

The cold light of the spear array was not easy to provoke at first glance, and a frontal rush would only follow in the footsteps of those warriors.

"Get out of the way!!"

As soon as the thought flickered, I saw that while he was reminding, he quickly pulled out a bone spear hanging on the yak under his crotch, and then threw it hard with his arm, and the bone spear shot out.

In the bitter cold, these tribes, no matter who they are, use bone weapons. Although there are also a lot of minerals there, they don't know how to smelt and forge them. Bone weapons, on the other hand, are not as tough as metal weapons, and usually break when they are hit.

Therefore, these barbarians have more than one weapon on their bodies, and the bone spear is the most common one.

It can be used as a melee weapon, and it can also be projected to attack prey from a distance while hunting.

In the face of such an attack, Zhang Song's side was a little defenseless, and the spearmen held spears in both hands, neither shields, but only leather armor was worn by elongation, and the protective ability was seriously insufficient.

The bone spear that Alola threw hit one of the spearmen in the abdomen, and he screamed and fell to the ground.

And Alola's move undoubtedly reminded these barbarians, and they followed suit and projected the bone spears they carried.

This round of sudden attacks directly caused the defending troops of North Wind City to suffer a big loss, and the spearmen in the front row suddenly suffered heavy losses, and the entire formation was also chaotic.

Seeing this opportunity, Alora took the elite warriors of the tribe, rode a seated yak, and brandished a bone hammer made of the thigh bone bone of an unknown animal and forcibly rushed up!

With the ferocious impact of the yak, the spear array that was already chaotic was forcibly crushed by this group of barbarians on the spot.

In the rear, Zhang Song's face changed greatly when he saw this scene, and while controlling the situation, he quickly commanded the sword and shield soldiers to maintain the top of the shield array.

At the same time, he signaled the uninjured spearmen to cooperate and support.

After all, it was a formally trained army, although it was caught off guard by the barbarians' wild ways, and it suffered a loss. But Zhang Song's command was not low, and soon, he stabilized the defending troops and set up a formation again.

Ordinary barbarian warriors will naturally not be their opponents, but the problem is that some barbarian soldiers are very fierce, such as those barbarians riding yaks, and they don't look easy to mess with.

Such a burly yak, how fierce is the force of the charge, where can the strength of a human soldier withstand it?

A simple collision can break a way.
