Chapter 143: The whole town resists the tide of corpses
Corpse tide, this kind of disaster can only be seen in the ancient county annals.
Call it a trendy word, which means that its number will never be as simple as dozens or hundreds, and it will take tens of thousands.
As soon as they heard the word corpse tide, many officials of the government government sat directly on the ground.
Changqu Town is just an ordinary town, except for the earth and stone walls that are no more than two feet high on all sides, there are almost no other city defense facilities.
Not to mention that there are a large number of troops stationed in the military town, and inside and outside the entire town, there are probably less than a hundred officials and officials in service, and there is no large number of strong bows and crossbows to attack and defend.
The town guard Li Chang's face was withered, and it was precisely because he understood the situation in Changqu Town that he understood better than anyone else that when the corpse tide hit, they couldn't defend the city at all.
Fortunately, Yan Fengyi is present here at this moment, and the county prince, who once served in the army, is calm and adaptable in the face of emergencies at this moment.
He stood up and pressed his hand against the panicked officials, motioning for everyone to be quiet and listen to him.
At this time, they have no idea, and they lack someone to take the idea, and someone wants to give orders, but they can't ask for it.
Yan Fengyi opened his mouth and asked the messenger who reported the news: "What is the scale of the corpse tide?"
The official sniffed the contemplative incense that Meng Juntong gave him, and he had completely recovered his senses at this moment, but he still looked very nervous: "I'm afraid there must be thousands of corpses, and from a distance, it seems that there are flying corpses that jump extremely high among the corpses." β
"Flying corpses, then our walls can't stop it. Li Chang was even more depressed.
Yan Fengyi frowned and reprimanded: "Lord Li, as a local parent official, you don't want to actively deal with things when you encounter them, but you shake the morale of the army here and there."
Yan Fengyi didn't care about what else Li Chang did, and he didn't care if he had the ability to govern a town well, but this chaos before the war, especially the chaos of self-defeat, in the eyes of Yan Fengyi, who was born in the army, was absolutely intolerable.
Li Chang was so drunk that he didn't dare to say a word, and fell to his knees trembling.
Yan Fengyi didn't want to waste his words with such a person, and continued to ask the officials about the situation: "How far is the corpse tide from the city?" β
"It's coming, less than half a pillar of incense at most. β
Yan Fengyi took a big step and walked towards the outside of the hall, ordering as he went: "Wei Ling, take all of us to the head of Dongcheng City, and transport all the bows and crossbows on the cart." β
"Order," Wei Ling didn't dare to delay for a moment, and directly showed his body and flew out in place.
"How many warriors are there in Changqu Town," Yan Fengyi asked the official just now.
The official was very sober, and replied quickly: "There are almost 100 people, and now they are all in Dongcheng City." β
Yan Fengyi nodded: "Now you have to do two things, one is to go to Dongcheng and cooperate with my people to distribute bows and crossbows to the poor people in your city who are good at or know how to shoot, we have enough weapons, and we need a lot of manpower." If conditions permit, you can summon all the Orions or Warriors in the city. β
The official nodded fiercely: "Don't worry, my lord, although our officers are a little worse in kung fu, they have practiced this riding and archery, and they can also use the bow and crossbow when they get it." I know some of the most skilled hunters and warriors in the town, and I'll ask them to come to the East City to help in the battle. β
Yan Fengyi nodded with satisfaction, except for the fact that this official was a little flustered before, when his mind was clear, his thinking was still very meticulous.
"Second, just in case, you have to take another group of people to start evacuating the people in the town, leading them to flee through the west gate, if we can't defend the east gate, we won't end up with a city ruined, if the people withdraw, even if you leave the city, it doesn't hurt, and you can gather all the men and horses in the future and take it back. β
Yan Fengyi's idea is very clear, that is, to protect people as much as possible, and if conditions permit, you can defend the city, but it is not really to draw the ground as a prison and fight a fish to a dead net.
He has fought a lot of battles, big and small, but the battles are all people, and this is the first time he has fought with the walking corpse.
Meng Juntong followed Yan Fengyi to Dongcheng, and it didn't take long for Yan Hong to rush over.
Yan Hong was reluctant to participate in the dinner, but when she heard the corpse tide outside Changqu Town, she said that she would come over and take a look, and she couldn't go to the ghost to see the drought, and this girl had already muttered many times.
The tide of corpses has rushed to the city, and the intelligence of these walking corpses is extremely low, and they will only run and collide with the most savage.
Hit the walls one after the other.
The city walls of Changqu Town are made of earth and stone, and they are relatively strong.
The walking corpses came densely like locusts, and the warriors brought by Yan Fengyi had already taken their strong bows and crossbows on the wall, and began to shoot those walking corpses freely.
"Everyone, please note that when attacking the walking corpses, you must shoot their heads, otherwise you will not be able to kill them at all. Meng Juntong reminded everyone, and at the same time, he also picked up a crossbow machine and went to the city.
Xue Ding stood at the head of the city, holding the sword of victory in one hand, and did not make any movement.
The walls were strong enough to withstand the impact of the rush of corpses, but the old wooden door was already overwhelmed.
With a bang, the wooden door was smashed into four pieces, and sawdust flew all over the sky.
The next moment, SchrΓΆding suddenly disappeared into the city. A brilliant sword blocked the big hole behind the ruin of the city gate in an instant.
The knife slashed, and immediately more than a dozen walking corpses were strangled on the spot, with their heads in different places.
Xue Ding stood under the city gate building, one person and one knife, and it became the new gateway of this Changqu Town.
"What a domineering sword. Xing Bai, who had been following Yan Fengyi's side, exclaimed.
Yan Fengyi nodded: "It's already almost a substantive sword qi, I'm afraid that Mr. Xue's martial arts realm has reached the level of a nine-rank little grandmaster." β
The relationship between the Jiupin Little Grandmaster and the Martial Dao Grand Master is really just one step away.
It is no wonder that Yan Fengyi feels that with Xue Ding, he can be a little more sure of dealing with Lanning in Baishui City.
Yan Hong on the other side was also amazed by this sword, she was just about to go down to the city to fight side by side with Xue Ding, but she was grabbed by Yan Fengyi.
"Dad, you let me go, I'm going to help. Yan Hong said with teeth and claws.
Yan Fengyi said helplessly: "Staying on the city tower is already your help, and it is enough for Mr. Xue to be alone, so don't go and make trouble." β
At this moment, the officers and hunters of Changqu Town, who received the crossbows, all went up to the top of the wall.
Needless to say, the archery skills of those hunters are self-explanatory, and they usually point to this style to eat, but the yacha is much worse, and many arrows can't even hit the body of the walking corpse.
