Chapter 107: Sneak Attack
In the middle of the night, the soldiers at the head of the city could not help but want to sleep, and the sound of gnawing and scratching in the far corner of the wall was made, and Auden followed the sound to look down from the city, and the situation was completely unclear in the night.
"Throw the torch down!" Auden ordered.
Several torches were thrown from the city walls, followed by a "squeak...... squeak.
"Gerbils! Undead gerbils digging into the wall. Auden yelled.
"Pour hot oil, set fire!" Auden commanded the legion to pour hot oil down from beneath the walls, and the gerbils below were squeaked and squeaked by the scalding.
A few pots of hot oil poured down, and after a while and a half ran out of hot oil, and the gerbils underground were still digging at the foot of the wall.
"This group of gerbils, gnawing on the foundation and running to gnaw the skin of the wall? Luca led the team out of the city to destroy the gerbils, and we will cover you. "Auden arranged for that fortress officer.
Lukka hesitated, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll try." ”
Lukka rushed out of the main gate with a squad of soldiers and headed straight for the gerbil colony.
The gerbil's ability to gnaw on the wall and make holes is good, but the actual combat ability is very weak, as soon as Luca's people come into contact, this group of gerbils will run away one after another, Lukka followed behind and slashed desperately, and chased out with the excitement of killing.
Auden faintly saw Lukka chasing the gerbil on the city wall, and secretly shouted in his heart, "Oh no, it's a trick." Hurriedly banging the gong to summon Lukka to retreat.
Before the gong sounded, a group of strange beasts had jumped out of the darkness and surrounded Lukka.
"Damn, these beasts are getting smarter and smarter, and they can actually use tricks. Auden scolded.
Lukka was taken aback and shouted, "Retreat, retreat." ”
Where did it take time, the undead beast violently attacked Luka's group of soldiers.
Menes was originally studying countermeasures in the main fort, and when he heard the report that a gerbil had gnawed the city wall, Auden had arranged for Lukka to go out of the city to attack the gerbil and knew that something bad was going to happen, so he hurried to the city wall, and at this time saw that Lukka was attacked by strange beasts, and immediately rushed out with a team of men and horses to rescue.
"Auden, soldiers are on both sides of the gates, and the gates will be lowered as soon as we enter. After saying that, he jumped on his horse and rushed out with the cavalry.
Luca's soldiers desperately resisted the attack of the undead beasts, and they already knew in their hearts that they were helpless, and the fortress would never open the door to save them at this time, which would only open the door to the beasts.
At the moment of desperate battle, I suddenly heard the sound of shouting from behind, and saw Menes incarnate as the king of mummies, holding the encore war hammer in his hand, and rushed over on a horse.
"Mistress Menes has come to our rescue, everyone rush out!" Lukka yelled.
Menes swung his hammer in the air and slashed a knife light along the sand, and the undead beast was swept away by the sword light, and Lukka retreated along the passage.
"Spread out the cavalry, cover the infantry, and release the arrows!" Menis roared.
The cavalry took down several strange beasts chasing Lukka with a round of bows and arrows, and made way for Lukka to pass through in the middle, and then closed again to block the pursuit of the undead beasts.
Menes rushed ahead in the lead, slashing left and right with no one to stop, the cavalry team used their mobility ability to slash back and forth, and the undead beasts had no cavalry reinforcements, so they could only retreat in place to defend.
Menes also did not love to fight, rescued Lukka and hurriedly began to retreat, and the undead beast saw Menes retreating and began to pursue.
Hundreds of undead beasts followed Menes and wanted to rush into the fortress, the golden general also immediately began to attack with all his troops, the termite beast cavalry rushed out of the battle formation and chased after Menes, the big centipede began a new round of siege, the human-faced scorpion threw stone eggs to attack the city wall, and the lizard archers followed behind close to the city wall.
Lukka had already stormed the fortress and stood at the door, waiting for Menes to enter.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way and back off, don't block the doorway. Menes yelled.
Lukka was puzzled when he heard Menes's order, I can't let the beasts attack, I have to keep the city gate closed.
Auden yelled at Luka, "Come in, through the mezzanine, we're going to close the door and beat the dogs." That's when Lukka reacted.
Menes was the last to rush into the fortress, and hundreds of undead beasts also rushed into the fortress behind, Oden immediately put down the gate to cut off the back road, hundreds of strange beasts were sandwiched between the city gate and the two walls, as if entering the city of Weng, the soldiers on the surrounding city walls immediately released arrows, the undead beasts crowded together There is no room to dodge, they can only rush to the front, and the soldiers with shields in front of them are blocked tightly, and they also block the passage with chariots, and the undead beasts will not be able to rush out at all for a while and a half, and can only wait for death.
Menes left the beasts on the top of the city, and the walls were densely packed with undead beasts, and the soldiers forcibly shot the beasts with arrows against the stones projected by the human-faced scorpions.
The golden general is crazy, completely ignoring his own casualties, forcibly throwing stones, anyway, they have an advantage in numbers, and they are resistant to killing, not afraid of death, flying stones kill more undead beasts, but Menes's soldiers are not small, the most important thing is that under the attack of bullets, the soldiers quickly couldn't hold it and hid in the tower.
The big centipedes on the city walls have been erected, and the skeleton soldiers on their backs have begun to climb.
"Set fire, set fire, burn the walls. Menes ordered.
Menes had arranged that the walls of the fortress were full of dead branches and leaves, and the coal grease was waiting for the strange beasts to rush up the walls, and the soldiers immediately began to set fires, and the entire passage of the city wall began to burn, and the undead beasts that were not afraid of death were still charging upward.
Menes' legion stood in the tower to attack the undead beasts in the flames, and the city wall soon turned into a wall of fire and wrapped the undead beasts that rushed up in flames, and the burning undead beasts wailed and scurried around, and couldn't help jumping directly off the towering city walls, and some of the beasts attacked the tower with flames.
Menes' soldiers blocked the door of the tower, trying their best to resist the impact of the undead beast, and the soldiers who failed to rush into the tower in time burned in the flames, and pounced on the big centipede before dying, and the bottom of the city wall also began to burn, and the big centipede could not withstand the scorching flames and began to retreat.
The undead beasts on the walls danced in flames, and no beasts could rush up again, and Menes' soldiers took the opportunity to withdraw from the passage of the tower.
The flames continued to burn, and there would be no attack from the beasts for a short time, and Menes ordered everyone to start repairing.
Overnight, Menes basically used up all kinds of burning materials in the fortress, and the next round of attacks of the undead beasts would not be able to resist, and Menes' biggest killing weapon now was fire, and it was also the weapon that the undead beasts feared the most.
Menes and Lukka searched the storehouses of the fortress, and there was nothing to help defend it except for the soldiers' weapons.
"What's in the main castle of the Eye of Horus?" Menes asked.
"Everywhere is mostly food, books and some medicines. Luca replied.
"Let's go, go see, find something that works. ”
According to the current strength of Menes' army, it is impossible to fight hard and fight hard, and it is necessary to find some useful defensive materials.
The main fort is basically full of food, the most precious ones are those books, and the others are medicines, so some soldiers are looking for medicine to heal their wounds.
Menes saw a lot of white powder in a clay pot, and asked a little, "What is this?"
"Don't move, sir, wipe your hands clean. Lukka picked up a piece of linen and wiped Menes' hands.
"This thing can't be touched casually, especially not washed, it will burn the skin when it comes into contact with water. Luca explained.
Lukka turned around and yelled at the soldier, "Put this in the secret room, don't put it indiscriminately, it's dangerous, the newly recruited soldiers are too unruly." ”
"What kind of medicine is this?" Menes asked curiously.
"I don't know what the secret medicine material used by magicians is used for, I just know that this medicine is dangerous. ”
"How many more of these drugs are there?"
"There should be a few more cans in the chamber, do you want to use them?"
"Take a little and I'll try it. Menes walked out with the jar in her arms.
The medicine was sprinkled on the floor, Menes dropped a few drops of water, and the medicine immediately emitted a puff of smoke and burned the floor, just a little bit of medicine actually burned the floor out of a huge hole, it was like aqua regia, what kind of medicine is this?
Menes thought for a moment and said, "Take out all this medicine and divide it into small jars, preferably a few hundred bottles, I want to use it." Menes ordered.
"Another few hundred bottles of water are being filled, so let me know. ”
Menes has a plan for a sneak attack, and this drug is a good thing.
In the evening, the medicine was ready, roughly divided into more than two hundred bottles of water and more than two hundred bottles of medicine, ordered a hundred cavalry and no one carried a few bottles, before setting off, Menes roughly told everyone about the goal and method of today's attack.
Night fell again, the flames on the walls had been completely burned, the undead beasts attacked again, Menes' legions were very tired after two days of hard fighting, the undead legions rushed to the fortress desperately, and the human-faced scorpions desperately threw bombs, completely ignoring their own casualties.
Menes, with a hundred cavalry, quietly went out from the east gate, and made a big circle, around the back of the undead beast.
The golden general did not expect that Menes would sneak attack his rear team at all, because the soldiers of Menes in the field were not opponents at all, and besides, Menes had not many soldiers, and it was already difficult to defend the city, so it was impossible to come and attack and die in vain.
Menes also knew that this soldier could not be an opponent if he attacked strongly, but he now had to use this medicine to assist in the attack.
With a little moonlight, Menes observed the position of the human-faced scorpions of the undead beasts, more than a hundred human-faced scorpions were still dropping bombs, and the target of this attack was this group of human-faced scorpions.
After slowly approaching the position, Menes began to accelerate his sprint, and when he was about to approach the position, the undead beast realized that someone was sneaking up, and the nine-winged rooster immediately turned around and pounced on the cavalry.
Menes' cavalry team ignored the attack of the nine-winged chicken, and simply rushed to the target with their heads covered, and then threw the medicine in their hands with all their might, and the medicine bottle shattered on the back armor of the human-faced scorpion, and the powder fell on the body.
Immediately after throwing out the water bottle, the drug encountered water and began to smoke and burn the human-faced scorpion, quickly burning the back armor of the human-faced scorpion out of a large hole, the human-faced scorpion swayed back and forth in pain, and some of the scorpions were burned to the point that Kaba's heart immediately stopped moving.
Where did the nine-winged chicken care about this, he pounced on it and attacked the cavalry team, Menes saw that he didn't love to fight when he saw a successful blow, and commanded the army to continue to throw medicine, and the burned human-faced scorpion stopped attacking and ran around, and after a while, a large number of casualties were killed, and Menes turned around and retreated.
When the golden general saw that his human-faced scorpion had been attacked, he immediately recalled the attacking troops in front.
