When Hong Fan left the Zhangwu Academy, it was still early.

There weren't many pedestrians on the long street.

Since yesterday, Gimhae Castle has rumbled like a clockwork machine.

The rangers scattered out into the surrounding countryside, spreading the message of the beacon fire to every corner.

Many farmers and hunters followed and gathered into the city, turning into a force.

From north to south, every household is reinforcing the courtyard walls of their houses.

The old men sharpened their knives, and the adults took out the swords wrapped in the hay under the bed and handed them to the half-sized children.

Passing through the alley, with Hong Fan's ears, he could still hear the sound of the partition wall.

"Poking your mouth and eyes is the best."

"The second is to cut off the armpit."

"If you can't do it, go to the belly, where the scales are soft and thin."

"Dad wants to go to the city, you stay at home to protect your mother......"

After that, the response was ignorant and childish, and Hong Fan sped up his steps.

The Hong Mansion is also deserted.

In the Asahi courtyard, Aunt Liu is packing up her things with pink and willow green.

It was customary for them to move to the ancestral hall during wartime - the snake people were good at climbing walls, and there were often scattered people sneaking in during the siege.

As for Tang Da, who is nowhere to be seen, as the reserve team of the clan, he is gathering in the martial arts arena.

Hong Fan went back to the room, rinsed himself with water, and changed into a set of clean clothes.

He went cross-legged to the head of the bed, wanting to meditate on the acupuncture points, but he couldn't calm down.

As soon as the eyes are closed, the oasis is densely packed with earthworm-like snake people.

After repeating for half an hour, Hong Fan got out of bed and wanted to find someone in the courtyard to say something.

However, when he entered the courtyard, he saw the two young ladies who were adapting to the feel of the firewood knife under the guidance of Aunt Liu from a distance, and he felt that the few words of advice in his throat were really light and not worth mentioning.

So Hong Fan simply went out and went straight to Beicheng.

There are a total of seven horse paths on the inside of the city walls of Gimhae Castle.

The slope is 20 degrees, the width is 6 meters, and its height is level with the top of the city, which is convenient for the cavalry to ride into the city and sweep away the enemy in wartime.

At this time, the horse road was crowded with people.

They are assembling the bow and crossbow under the guidance of the craftsman.

In this world, there are no chemical composite materials, and bows can only be made from natural materials.

The bowstring is generally silk, and the bow arm is wood, horns, cow tendons (tendons), and so on.

These things are very valuable, and keeping them tight in the cold winter and low temperatures can damage life; Therefore, in the late autumn, the instrument supervisor will split it into the warehouse.

Now it is natural to work overtime to recover.

Hong Fan stepped onto the horse road and went up to the city amid the successive greetings of the soldiers.

The city was even busier.

Braziers have been set up every 10 meters.

Under the female wall facing north, a short axe with a horizontal blade and similar to a nail rake was lowered at intervals.

Hong Fan recognized this thing - it was called a file axe, which was specially used to cut off the hands (claws) that had been put on it.

More auxiliaries are greasing spare weapons such as swords, axes and spears and placing them behind the wall.

The snake's scales are like armor, and even if the Hundred Blades are slashed a few times, they will be notched.

According to Hong Cheng, it is just common for a fierce general to change six or seven weapons in a single battle.

But whether it is a file axe, or the rest of the arrangement, it can only be regarded as a gadget in this city.

Dozens of meters away, Hong Fan saw Qian Hong, who had his back to him.

He was directing his men to connect the Yaksha and the wolf's tooth slap to the iron cable hinge and test the retraction.

Farther away, on the castle tower, Wen Zhongguan bent down to check the bed crossbow and tinkered with another unknown device of larger size.

The clouds are high and far away.

The four fields are open, and the city walls are small.

However, Hong Fan looked at the people in the city and listened to the shouting and enthusiastic trumpet, but he felt that the things made of rammed earth and bricks under his feet were more indestructible than the mountains.

He stood stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that his heart was steady.

Then he rolled up his sleeves, and also lifted his ordnance, and merged into the flow of people.

······

March 19, shortly after the hour of Shen (three o'clock in the afternoon).

The clear sky is as blue as washing, and you can see through it at a glance.

The four gates of Jinhai City were closed, like a giant beast lying on the ground.

The city wall is armor, and the banner is an upside-down mane.

And the spears of thousands of soldiers on the sea wall are its minions.

The enemy is two miles away.

Six thousand snakes lined up in a dense array, forming a unique dark color between the blue sky and yellow earth.

Hong Fan stood on a city tower.

Beside him was a wound bed crossbow, and behind him was a powerful flag bearer.

With a drop of five or six meters, more soldiers were in groups of three, holding heavy shields, strong bows, or spears and axes.

The snake man is not as delicate as his equipment, but his individual strength is truly amazing.

Snake people who have not been sacrificed in blood generally weigh 400 catties, and even if they fight with tigers and leopards with their bare hands, it is difficult to say whether they will win or lose.

Human soldiers need to be three-to-one and cooperate tacitly to have a considerable chance of winning.

Otherwise, if you do three one-on-ones, the snake man will win.

The sun is slightly slanting to the west.

The cluster of snake people fluctuated like flowing water, and two giant snakes swam out of it, which were seven or eight feet long.

The two giant serpents held the two snake masters on their heads, and then lifted themselves into the air.

In this way, the already long red scales and broken teeth easily gained a height comparable to that of the castle tower, and saw the layout on the castle head.

Hong Fan could see that they were observing and talking.

It's a very special experience for the traverser.

In the cognition of human beings in the other world, they are the only spirits of all things.

Therefore, they are naturally qualified to be pretentious, to be content with nature, and even to say the wild saying that "the universe created man can observe himself".

Hong Fan pressed against the city wall, his heart filled with faint displeasure and subtle panic.

Gain's wisdom is no longer the exclusive possession of "man".

At this moment, Red Scale issued a command.

A sound so sharp that it surpassed the upper limit of mortal hearing spread around it.

The serpents unbuckled their shields, and from the wings began to turn into a rhythmic tide, and pressed southward.

Their formation changes gradually as they move.

Hundreds of meters later, a mile-wide unfolded surface was formed, and there were only more than 100 snake people in each row.

Compared to Terran infantry, this is extremely sparse.

According to the infantry strategy that Hong Fan learned in Zhu Yiqi, the fifty-man phalanx was only fifteen meters after it was unfolded—the same width, and the snake people only laid out three people.

Terrifyingly confident.

On the roof of the main city, Hong Cheng watched the enemy advance step within 700 meters and give orders to the herald.

There is no radio, no chain of information, no fire control.

But information still flows through the walls in a way unique to this era.

First, the herald's order, and then the red pennants that began to be raised high on each tower and waved left and right like a beacon fire relay.

Finally, the teams of the bed crossbow squad are each "pulling" the trigger with a sledgehammer.

More than a dozen bed crossbows were fired at a pre-set elevation angle towards the coverage area 700 meters away.

The giant arrow is more than a meter long, and the iron leaf is a feather.

One breath later reaches the snake tide, shattering the shield and slamming the three-headed snake man to the ground.

But that's about it.
