"Jindan Realm!" Su Zhi and Su Mu were shocked at the same time when they saw the evil magician on the mammoth bone elephant.

Su Jing shook his head and said, "It's just the pinnacle of foundation building, he doesn't have the Jindan realm." The control of those black knights around him has formed a similar effect to the field, which should be caused by the equipment on the body. ”

"It's so far away, can you shoot it?" Su Mu asked.

Su Jing shook his head and said, "There is a distance of three miles, and the mother and son can fight so far away from the soul cannon, but it also loses its power." Even if Ma Chao is here, he has to build the foundation to the pinnacle in order to shoot the evil magician with archery at such a distance, and it is impossible for the enemy not to be on guard. Even if his realm is upgraded by equipment, he will feel it, and we can't lock it. ”

According to the standard of the empire, two hundred zhang is one li, and the distance of more than three li is more than six hundred zhang. This is already equivalent to 1.5 kilometers away from the Earth.

The range of the Imperial heavy crossbow is 200 zhang, and the ballista is slightly farther, but the parabolic attack is very slow, and it is against fixed targets. The chain giant crossbow on the Su Jing chariot can be tried, but if it is so far, it will take a while for the crossbow arrows to fly, and it is impossible for the other party to be unable to dodge.

In the sky, the airship dropped an oil canister, which landed on the spot where the refugees and skeletons were fighting, and exploded into flames. The skeleton soldier looked a little afraid of the flames, and his movements suddenly slowed down.

The oil canister burned, releasing thick smoke, and the refugees choked and coughed. The sorcerer was furious, and pointed at the airship in the sky.

The Qi Refiners at the head of the city wanted to summon the airship back, but it was already too late. Even if he summoned it in advance, the speed of the airship was quite pitiful.

A bone spear flickered in front of the sorcerer, burst out of the air, and stabbed the airbag on the airship's upper part. The Qi Refiner who controlled the airship had no choice but to detonate the airship directly and burn it in the air.

The manufacture of airships. The most expensive part is the airship's control formation. The rest of the skin sacs and other structures are still easy to accept. The enemy had to study the formation that didn't want to control the airship, so the Qi Refiner decisively destroyed the airship. The battle on the ground suddenly changed.

Where the smoke passed, the collapsed refugees suddenly had blood-red eyes. There were countless images in their minds that made them angry.

They seemed to see the skeleton soldiers, under the command of the sorcerer, rush into their village, strip the living people one by one, tear off the flesh and make new skeletons. His wife, his children, wept in the firelight.

The limited True Qi in their bodies was also stimulated by this smoke. It becomes big and grand.

"Kill!"

I don't know who shouted, and the refugees turned and rushed towards the skeleton soldiers. The sorcerer flickered on the mammoth bone elephant for a moment, realizing that he had been negligent, and that the flying machine was here to deliver the drug.

But this medicine of the Eastern Qin Empire is too bad, right?

In other words, he will give each soldier medicine before departure, and then use mental power to trigger it. Instantly increases combat effectiveness and can create unexpected effects on the battlefield.

Now these soldiers have also erupted. But the combat effectiveness is still not very good!

The skeleton soldier moved forward steadily, ramming the refugee again, flesh splattering. This time, the refugees fought in the same way as skeletons, not defending at all. Slash forward with a sword, smashing the skeleton's skeleton to pieces.

These smoke-inhaling refugees, with a frantic impact, flew flesh and blood in front of the skeleton soldiers' array. But no one backed back. The skeleton soldiers of the twenty-second platoon, in the blink of an eye, were torn open in the middle.

After the refugees broke through the line, the skeletons on both flanks turned to the middle, as if they were a giant pincer, crushing the trapped refugees.

The flesh and blood on the battlefield were blurred, the skeleton soldiers' movements were stiff, but their strength was very great, and the refugees who were attacked by the skeleton soldiers were all broken corpses. The sorcerer frowned and said, "It's not good to fight like this, how many skeletons do we have?"

"Master, almost 150,000 skeletons. ”

"That's okay, gather 300,000 and rob this city and settle down, as the vanguard, the empire will have a reward. Each of you, get at least two hundred gold coins. "The sorcerer wanted to say a thousand, but then he felt that he should keep some, and the reward immediately shrank.

The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that the ironclad soldiers at the head of the city did not look afraid at all. Maybe they're leaning on the walls high enough?

But no matter how high the walls are, they are meaningless to the skeletons. These bones are used to pave the way.

At the head of the city, a soldier brought a notebook, and Su was determined to open it. The notebook is written down by the soldiers on the wooden tower in the castle, and the information of the enemy observed with the Taoist device.

Su was determined to read it again, and his heart relaxed slightly. The strength of the skeleton soldiers is not a problem for the Imperial soldiers, the only thing to consider is morale. Skeleton soldiers don't know pain, and they don't fear death. Even if ten skeletons were exchanged for the life of an Imperial soldier, it was the Imperial Soldier who would be the first to collapse.

Fortunately, skeletons are vulnerable, and they can be eliminated with normal ranged attacks. The trouble was the knights in black armor. The black iron armor on these knights is more than half an inch thick. Ordinary bows and arrows simply can't shoot through. A heavy crossbow or rune arrow is required to effectively kill it.

On the black armor, there are rune formations drawn outside the known system, which should have a countervailing effect on Dao techniques.

The mount of the Black Knight, without the breath of life, is supposed to be a dead creature. In this case, it is difficult to counteract the impact of these cavalry by attacking mounts. The combat power of this black-armored knight is estimated to be no less than that of the early stage of the Innate Realm. And the number is as high as 2,400.

This made it impossible for the army in Hulukou to go out of the city to meet the attack, and according to observation, the cavalry troops in Hulukou could only be equal to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of this army. And the number of cavalry in Hulukou was only four hundred.

"I can only hold on. Sue sighed with determination. On both sides of the city wall of Hulukou, there are tall castle towers, which can put down metal horse paths, allowing cavalry to rush down and attack. This is a huge threat to the besieging side. Now the cavalry can't send out Lu, otherwise, it will be entangled by the opponent's cavalry, and with a six-fold advantage in strength, the black-armored cavalry can completely annihilate the cavalry of the Su family.

But it can't be stubborn, and the number of flesh and bones in the distance has exceeded 100,000. If it is difficult to effectively hit with a normal bow and arrow, the number of crossbow arrows in your castle is insufficient.

Su Determination calculated quickly in his heart. One order after another was issued, all in response to this newly acquired information. The archers received an order to replace their iron armor after all the ordinary skeletons in front of them were wiped out. Assist the heavy infantry in defending the city.

The original configuration of 1,200 archers at the head of the city, now only 200 remain, ready to open their arms and crossbows, but they still have to change their iron armor and enter hand-to-hand combat at any time.

Imperial archers are not weak, but there are not enough rune arrows stored in the city. These archers have no marksmanship, but they cannot pose a threat to the enemy.

The smoke from the fire is still rapidly drifting away, and the number of refugees. It has been reduced to 20,000 people, just ten minutes of fighting, losing more than 10,000 young people, and the rest can't hold on to the same amount of time at all.

Refugees approaching one end of the wall, began to move backwards, trying to enter the protective area of the wall. Sue was determined not to give the order to attack. At this point, they don't matter anymore.

The ballistae at the head of the city began to twist the turntable, and the giant crossbow also opened the formation. The crossbow box was carried up, and the Qi Refiner activated the formation under his feet. Suddenly there was a surge of heat, and the soldiers felt that their gloves were not so hard. This is an advantage for the defending side, at least the body will not get tired so easily.

Behind the city walls, on ten earthen platforms lined up, even greater trebuchets were erected. This thing was left over during the construction of Hulukou, and it was still guarding against the counterattack of Buddhism at that time. Later, the situation stabilized on the Sunset Ruins. As long as there are a few hundred cavalry to cope with all the scenes, the Su family sealed the trebuchet.

This thing is not needed for large-scale wars, so it is not sent back to Fumo City.

After setting up this large trebuchet, the people of the Su family found that the stone projectiles used to fire were gone! Fortunately, the number of oil tanks in the city was huge. More than a dozen oil canisters were packed together in net pockets and placed on the leather pockets of large trebuchets. A gas refiner arrived, looked at the metal nameplate on the trebuchet, and then did the math, explaining to the soldier in charge of the trebuchet how long the lead should be for each range to point the fuel tank.

The soldiers in the mouth of the gourd have not fought for many years, but they are still elite, and many matters before and after have been quickly handled.

"If the enemy doesn't count the casualties, we can't hold it. Su Zhi said to Su Mu helplessly: "Elder, while the city is not broken, take the horse and go." Go to Fu Demon City for help, I guess, this is just the vanguard of the enemy. ”

Su Jing shook his head and said, "Even if it's just a striker, the enemy's great power is all because of the undead magic that transformed the corpses outside the city into skeleton soldiers." I think the other party's contribution is not small. As far as I understand, a sorcerer in the foundation building period should not transform more than a thousand skeletons at one time. Now there are hundreds of thousands of skeletons outside, and the enemy must have used something like the Jade Rune Book. After this battle, the enemy has no more materials to choose from, so it will not be so difficult to fight. ”

Under the city, more than 3,000 people have gathered, and the rest of the refugees, after inhaling the smoke, are exhausted by the fight with the skeletons. The skeletons walked towards the more than 3,000 people under the city, their steps neat, their eyes dancing with dark red flames.

There's nothing more devastating than this scene, with a wall behind you and legions from hell in front of you. These refugees are no longer in the mood to cry, and they know that the people behind them will not open the city gates. Relative to their lives, the empire after the pass is more important.

After they are all sinners themselves, it is good that they have not been caught mining. Now to let them into the city, they have to risk being rushed in by the enemy.

"Fight those monsters!" said one of the refugees, wiping tears from his eyes and clenching his long knife. Without waiting for anyone else to respond, he stepped out of the crowd and escaped the protection of the crossbow arrows at the head of the city. He knew he was going to die, and the place where he stood happened to be a stepping stone for those skeletons.

The mourning soldiers under the city counterattacked, and Su decided to give the order to shoot accurately at the approaching skeleton soldiers.

The skeletons were already approaching less than a hundred feet of the city wall, and at this distance, the archers were already able to effectively snipe at their targets. If the enemy is a Qi Refiner, there is still a problem that it is difficult to lock, the enemy is a skeleton, and the soul power is weak, but the archer can calmly aim.

Su decided to look at the red flame in the skeleton soldier's eyes and shouted, "Order, the archer shoots the head of the skeleton, not the torso!"

Knock! Knock!

The dementor war drum was beaten, and Su Jing's temporarily modified metal puppet was tirelessly beating the war drum. The sound of drums and water waves spread out in all directions. The soldiers of the Su family suddenly perked up, and the flow of True Qi in their bodies became smooth. The skeleton soldiers approaching the city wall suddenly reduced their speed, their hands and feet became even stiffer, and the dark red flames in their eyes faltered, as if they would be extinguished at any time.

"Prepare ......"

The archer's little flag officer gave the order, and all the archers opened their longbows and mounted their feathered arrows.

"Put!"

To the sound of war drums, more than a thousand feathered arrows made a terrifying wind sound, and flew like raindrops towards the skeleton at the front. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
