Chapter 313: Going out of the city to fight back
The fire lit by Gu Zhou's team gradually extinguished after the fire oil ran out, and a large number of forests were still burned on the three hills, but fortunately the fire did not spread, and this level of damage could be restored in a few years.
As soon as the fire was extinguished, the beasts began to attack Tianmen Town.
The fourth wave of beasts is dominated by wolves, felines, and apes, which are the main force of wild beasts in the Hengduan Mountains. Birds rarely participate in the animal tide, and they don't have to make such a hard effort to break through the mountain pass, they just fly over it.
Warcraft is dominated by the "Gray-backed Demon Wolf" and the "Earth Ape", whose reproductive ability is not as good as that of the Pangolin, but it is relatively strong in Warcraft, and the number of ethnic groups is very large.
This night was full of strange cries of "whoa" and "woo", and compared to the previous night, the beast tide was much louder.
There are many fires lit in the upper and lower parts of Tianmen Town, these beasts are not easy to deal with, the archers need to see the vital places, and the infantry use the fires to narrow the defense line, which has the effect of making up for the lack of troops.
But among the herds were the more intelligent beasts of the apes, and they quickly buried the fires under the city with mud and stones, reducing the frequency of the archers' attacks.
The heavy responsibility of resisting the beast tide fell on the infantry, but fortunately, the Tianmen Fortress Division was known for its strong infantry.
A large number of auxiliaries also climbed the city wall, quickly snatched the corpses of the beasts on the city, replaced the broken weapons of the infantry, replenished the arrows for the archers, and added firewood to the fire, which strongly supported the defenders.
Of course, the magicians are not idle, they mainly deal with magical beasts, and beasts are not worth wasting magical power. "Grayback Demon Wolf" and "Earth Ape" are both third-level magical beasts, and no magician can't suppress them.
This night was destined to be unpeaceful, and the fierce battle between man and beast did not end all night. The defenders of the city are still exhausted after a round of changes, and the beasts under the city are still pouring up.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo......" The three broken and one long military horn sounded outside the southern city gate, which was a signal of the arrival of friendly troops.
"It's finally here," Liu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, "Pour the last fire oil on the city wall, as soon as the 163rd Division's city defense equipment arrived, it immediately ignited the fire, and the auxiliaries quickly pushed the equipment onto the city wall."
The bell was ringed, and the echelons that had rested for the night were assembled, all the obstacles near the north city gate were removed, and the assault brigade was formed in a formation with infantry in front, cavalry in the middle, and long-range in the rear. The 163rd Division took over the city walls, and we attacked with drums. ”
The north of Tianmen Town is still full of beasts, but they have not eaten water for a night, and it is about to dawn, and at this time, when they are the weakest, Liu Qingshan must concentrate the strongest strength at hand to fight back.
"Yuntong, I will control the big array, the military is going to attack, you go with it to take care of it, lest there are high-level demonic beasts hiding behind. Rong Ci came to the top of the Magic Tower.
"Ah, you haven't received your bounty for two days, and here are your two gold coins. Ruan Xingzhu was busy in the hall on the first floor.
"Oh, the bell is ringing, we're going to assemble. Ding Kui turned his sore neck, he had been studying magic all night and had not slept.
Coming to the first floor of the inn, Ding Kui found that Lei Feixiang had already passed the leather armor and was waiting for him, "Yo, why didn't you gather in the barracks so early?"
"I'm your companion, so of course I'm following you. Hehe, we may have to go out of the city in a while. Lei Feixiang said beautifully, and the last sentence still revealed his purpose.
Going out of the city to assault the beast herd, the warrior in melee should have rushed to the front, Lei Feixiang was afraid that people would arrest him as cannon fodder.
Ding Kui didn't think about it so much, and took Lei Feixiang to the barracks together, and asked in detail about the situation of the demonic beasts outside the city on the way.
The grayback demon wolf, a third-level earth-based demonic beast, can turn into a layer of limestone on its back, has extremely strong defense, and will spew sharp stone bullets, and its weakness is in the soft abdomen.
Earth Ape, a third-level earth-based demonic beast, the darling of the earth, has great power when on the ground, can cast the earth stabbing technique, and has strong magic and physical resistance on the skin of the body, which can transmit the damage to the ground to achieve the effect of reducing damage.
"There are a lot of these two kinds of demonic beasts, ordinary soldiers can't deal with them at all, at least they need heavy infantry and fourth-level combat power like us to kill them, and it is estimated that half of last night's battle will not be killed. "Lei Feixiang is indeed suitable to be Ding Kui's companion, and his knowledge just makes up for Ding Kui's shortcomings.
"It's really hard to kill, they all have characteristics in terms of defense, but fortunately I have a way to deal with them. Ding Kui always has an optimistic smile on his face.
Gu Zhuangdian was already waiting for the town guard team in the camp, this old magician had participated in many battles against the beast tide, and knew very well what he had to do and when he had to do his best.
"President Gu, your flame knife was so handsome yesterday, but I didn't find it in the book. Ding Kui asked curiously.
"Oh, didn't your master tell you this? Magic is not originally there, but was created by humans, and magicians have created one magic after another through their own perception and exploration, and it took thousands of years to form the current four major systems, and some small branches.
Every magician has the opportunity to create his own magic, and the Flame Knife was researched and created by my ancestors, and it belongs to the unique inheritance of the sect, and it is not shared with everyone, so you can't read it in books. Gu Zhuangdian explained.
"Oh, I see, I still want to learn, it seems that not all magic can be learned. Ding Kui said disappointedly.
"Hehe, it's not that you have to learn all the magic, it's good that you can master one of all types of magic. For example, the fireball can become larger, the temperature can be higher, and the speed can be faster, and the power is no less than my flame knife after mastering it. Gu Zhuangdian felt more and more that Ding Kui's so-called teacher was a parallel commodity and would not teach his apprentices at all.
If Tai Shugong could know Gu Zhuangdian's thoughts, he would have to be so angry that he would crawl out of the ground, a little tower magician dared to say that he was a parallel import!
The "beep" whistle sounded, and the barracks were busy but not chaotic, and groups of soldiers formed up and quickly moved to the designated place.
"Defend the town, we're going to go out of the city to fight back in a while. The infantry in front opened the way, the cavalry followed, and we went out of the city behind the cavalry, responsible for killing the monsters and providing long-range fire assistance to the troops in the city.
Behind us are the archers who will follow us and advance steadily, so do not take to the air at will, but follow my orders and act in unison. Alright, now follow me into the assault group's array. Gu Zhuangdian led the town guard team behind the cavalry.
This time, Liu Qingshan organized three brigades of heavy infantry, one brigade of light cavalry, five squadrons of archers and more than 30 magicians, and temporarily built an assault brigade of nearly 5,000 people.
As the commander-in-chief of the assault brigade is Liu Qingshan himself, this mid-term slashing warrior stood at the front of the team, and above him was his old partner Gu Zhou, two fifth-level combat powerhouses joined forces, and they also had the power to fight when they encountered high-level demonic beasts.
The south gate was wide open, and most of the 163rd Division had already entered the city, and the division commander Zhao Yangxing ascended the north city tower and took over the command of the defense of the city wall. The auxiliaries successively pushed the city's defense equipment up the city wall, and the soldiers who operated the equipment were doing the final laying work.
"Knock knock knock" The war drum sounded as soon as Ding Kui and them entered the ranks.
The north gate slowly opened, and a wave of heat rushed in, and the ancient boat released several large fire-based magics before, emptying the beasts outside the gate.
With a "whew", a huge whirlwind swept away the flames in front of the door, and Yuntong stayed above the Beicheng Tower, and he shot to blow out the fire on the charging route of the assault brigade.
Liu Qingshan shook the three bull forks in his hand and shouted: "Attack!" and rushed out of the city first.
Three thousand heavy armored infantry followed Liu Qingshan and rushed forward, and in just ten minutes, a large open space was cleared outside the city gate and advanced to both sides.
"Full speed charge!" the cavalry captain urged his horse to rush to the city gate, and the cavalry behind him rushed out of the city in three columns.
The cavalry crashed into the herd through the gap where the infantry was separated, and after a period of acceleration in the open space, the wolves and apes could not stop the cavalry's onslaught, and they were rushed to pieces.
"It's our turn, get out of the city!" Gu Zhuangdian led the town guard team out of the city gate steadily, and next to them was a team of magicians led by the witch.
After leaving the city, two teams of magicians supported the infantry advancing on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, and the archers quickly followed, helping the infantry to shoot their positions.
After the assault party was out of the city, the infantry did not advance, but slowly closed into an arrow, following the cavalry into the herd, the magician and the archers in the middle, matching the infantry's movements, and the cavalry chose a zigzag line to charge deeper into the herd, allowing the infantry to keep up with their speed.
The combat effectiveness of these more than 4,000 people is extremely strong, and the large number of beasts cannot withstand their charges, and they do not know how to organize forces to destroy the human formation, so that the assault brigade begins to cut the battlefield in the east.
Ding Kui concentrated on looking for the demonic beast in the herd, and found that the earth ape threw a hypnotic spell over, controlled it to jump, and the infantry on the front line and the archers behind him took the opportunity to kill it;
The eastern battlefield was quickly sliced apart by humans, and the defenders easily strangled the herds of the enemy in front and behind. The assault brigade began to turn to the western battlefield, Liu Qingshan's general flag was always standing in front of the infantry arrow, and the cavalry charged in the direction of the flagpole's tilt.
When the cavalry encounters an impenetrable herd, it will go around the back of the infantry formation to allow the infantry and ranged troops to attack, and after the hard bones are gnawed, the infantry formation will crack a gap to allow the cavalry to continue to attack the herd.
In this way, the assault brigade rushed left and right at the five-thousand-meter-wide mountain pass, stirring up chaos among the beasts, and constantly cutting the battlefield to the east and west and the front. Although surrounded by beasts, he can still maintain his formation and methodically kill the beasts and monsters around him.
