Chapter Forty-Six: The Battle of the Two Peaks
In a short time, there have been nearly 100 demon beasts of mountain pigs, red light rabbits, green bamboo spirit snakes, colorful pheasants and other types rushed to the city, and many more were climbing, and even a few giant toothed wolves jumped up, fierce and abnormal.
Everyone is fighting to the death, and everyone knows that they must not escape at this time, and if Nanwu City is lost, no one will be able to live.
The casualties appeared immediately, some of their legs and feet were bitten off, some were knocked out and vomited blood, some were bitten by spirit snakes and fainted on the spot, and two were thrown off the city wall by the giant toothed wolf......
The monks of the front camp who were on leave arrived one after another, and they did not care about forming a queue, so they went to the city one by one, and rushed to the city wall in groups, and the number of monks in the front camp of the city gradually increased, from 200 to 300, and then from 300 to 400, to 500......
In addition to the front battalion, the middle battalion stationed in Twin Peaks Town was also rushing here, but the time was too short to arrive yet.
The first to rush to reinforcements was the emergency reinforcement team led by Jindan monk Luo Jun, Gu Zuo arranged more than forty monks in the late stage of foundation building and even the consummation realm separately, led by three Jindan, and put it into the critical direction at the critical moment, to put it bluntly, it was to fill the loopholes.
The place where they were stationed was closest to the south city wall, and the cultivation was also high, so they all arrived at the first time, and as soon as they went to the city, they saw the chaotic and cruel battle scene, and everyone was a little stunned.
They are all adventurers in southern Xinjiang, and they are actually not afraid of fighting demon beasts, but so many demon beasts appear in front of them at the same time, it is really the first time I have seen them, and my heart is a little less enduring, and I can't help but weaken my legs.
Luo Jun turned around and encouraged: "Fellow Daoists, if you think you are a gentleman, rush with me, and if you want to be a lady, go back and lie down!"
Shouting, stepping on the Heavenly Escape Sword, his hands wrapped around the Absolute Immortal Claws refined by Sanyang Refined Iron, turned into a ball of light and shadow, and rushed into the battle group first. The Absolute Immortal Claw ignited the Samadhi Fire in the dance, rolling into a circle of Samadhi Fire, heading straight for a giant toothed wolf.
The eighteen foundation-building monks under his command were greatly excited, and each spell caster followed closely behind, and the chickens and rabbits jumped wherever they passed, and a passage was immediately cleared.
Luo Jun rushed behind the giant toothed wolf, and the samadhi fire circle immediately covered the wolf's body, and the giant toothed wolf rushed hard in the fire, but it never collided, and was burned to the point of screaming, and after a while, the hard skin that could not be broken by more than ten swords, guns, swords, and axes was suddenly scorched by the samadhi fire, and was finally pierced by the Tiandun sword at Luo Jun's feet.
With Luo Jun leading the team to help, the situation on the city wall was suddenly reversed.
But the terrifying thing about the beast tide lies in the number of monsters like a tide, just killed a dozen here, and the next moment dozens of them rushed up, and there were more and more demon beasts on the city wall.
At the critical moment, a volley of light flashed in the air, turning into a fire dragon, shuttling along the outside of the city wall, blazing, and those demon beasts that were climbing the city wall were ignited by the fire dragon one by one, and fell down one after another, and continued to pile up and burn under the root of the wall, forming a wall of fire, blocking the way of countless demon beasts under the city to rush to the city.
This was the second time that the Red Refining Fire Cloud Array was launched, and it was launched at the most opportune moment, not only achieving great damage, but also building a wall of fire with the corpse of the demon beast, delaying the attack of the demon beast rushing into the city, and winning a precious respite.
The fire dragon burned a short cup of tea before it gradually dissipated, but the burning wall of fire under the city was still burning.
The reinforcements on the city wall arrived one after another, first dozens of monks from Shendandu arrived, and then three hundred monks from the middle camp, at this time, on the south city wall, nearly a thousand monks gathered here, and their strength increased greatly.
They were in groups of five or ten people to besiege the demon beasts that rushed to the city wall, and it took them half an hour to finally clean them up.
Everyone immediately assigned their own defensive positions, waited for the top, and prepared for the second assault on the city.
The monsters failed to launch a second wave of storming the city, and it seemed that the blocking of the wall of fire had made them lose their direction and momentum. The battlefield suddenly fell silent, the monsters still roosted under the city, and the monks were on full guard on the city walls, not daring to be the slightest negligent.
In this battle, 12 monks were killed in the front battalion, more than 30 were seriously wounded, and more than 100 were slightly wounded. Shendan killed two people and wounded nine others. There were no casualties in the middle battalion, two were seriously wounded, and more than ten were lightly wounded.
There are more than 200 demon beast corpses left on the city wall, all of which have been counted and put into the warehouse. In addition, the household division specially allocated 1,000 spirit stones to compensate the dead and reward the wounded. Among them, the deceased each received a pension of fifty spirit stones, those who had family members paid tribute to their families, and those who did not belong to the sect, and those whose families and sects were not in Nanwu Prefecture, the list was posted and clearly announced, and then distributed after the beast tide.
The move of posting the announcement reassured many people, and they knew that even if they died in Nanwu Prefecture, they would not be silent and unaware.
The lessons of this battle were extremely profound, and Gu Zuo specially convened Cheng Shanhu, Su San, Yuan Daochang, Liu Xuanji, Jia Gui and other henchmen in the Changshi Mansion to discuss and summarize experience and countermeasures.
There was no warning for the demon beasts to rush into the city, and when they stormed the city for the first time last month, there were not many demon beasts gathered under the city, and the defense on the city wall was also very stable, which did not cause major problems, but at the moment there were more demon beasts, and the individual combat power of the demon beasts was stronger than at that time.
The solution to this problem is to strengthen the number of guards on duty, which was originally two hundred, and Su San said that in the future, the whole battalion will be on the same page, four hundred will be on the city wall, and one hundred will take turns to rest under the city.
Gu Zuo said: "Judging from the current situation, the demon beast belongs to linear thinking...... It's just a tendon, if you want them to do something left and right, backpack copying, they can't get it, they want to go north, they will only push flat and rush hard, so the south wall is the top priority of defense. The left and right battalions above the two peaks, and the rear battalions stationed in the forest valley in the north, were all confined to areas where there was not much fighting, and they could not play a role. β
Cheng Shanhu nodded and said, " What the hall owner said is right, most of the south main peak and the south two peaks are wrapped in the back of the south city wall, and the two sides can be passed, so far, although there are a lot of sporadic demon beasts rushing to the mountain, but there is no threat, the largest one is three days ago, there are only a dozen demon beasts that hit the south main peak, there are tortoise shells away from the Xuan array, the guards of the left camp are very relaxed, in fact, the front of the left camp needs to be defended is less than two miles, and there are only two passages that can really be used for the demon beasts to rush the mountain on a large scale, each is only ten zhang wide, and five hundred monks are piled up here, which is really wastedγ What's more, there are still two sword light arrays in the south main peak. β
Gu Zuo said: "I think that we can change the current mode of leading troops, carry out a big rotation, and mobilize the monks stationed in the two peaks." For this reason, the five battalions we have set up should be regarded as the five defense areas, and the leaders and teams of each capital team are the real officers leading the troops, and the battalions of the so-called iron-clad battalions are not replaced, but the capital teams are rotated, and which battalion is rotated to is under the jurisdiction of which battalion. It is necessary to ensure that four of them are on the city and two are under the city at all times, and it is necessary to make sure that each of them rotates to go to the city for four to five days within a month, which not only solves the problem of fatigue of the soldiers, but also allows all the troops to exercise in actual combat. β
After a pause, Gu Zuo, who was accustomed to having a name for everything, added: "This is called the two-peak round battle. β
