Chapter 216: Stronger as a ghost
"Ordnance battalion, poison blast arrow aim, elevation angle three, start a salvo!"
"All pharmacists are ready to give priority to the seriously wounded after the battle!"
"Defend the city, check the city wall mechanism again! As soon as the demon beast starts attacking the city wall, it will be touched immediately!"
"The follow-up troops are ready to take over as soon as they receive the order!"
......
Zhao Hongju, who was sitting in the city gate tower, issued orders one after another, and all the cultivators who heard his orders responded in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
After the order was issued, Zhao Hongju stretched out his hand and pulled out his sword, looked at the overwhelming beast tide that was rapidly approaching the city wall, and shouted:
"Northern Legion, fight!"
"Fight!" the sergeants responded in unison.
The deafening roar instantly raised the morale of the defending soldiers to the peak.
Whew, hoohoo!
A series of sound of breaking the air sounded, and one by one, the giant arrows as thick as the pillars and the whole body were launched by the talisman ordnance, bringing out the trajectory of the light of the rune and shooting into the distance.
After the giant arrow landed, it exploded into a large area of turquoise poisonous mist, and a series of roars sounded, and the place in front of the beast tide instantly became a huge poisonous miasma.
Many demon beasts shrouded in poisonous fog bled in the process of running, and after falling heavily to the ground, they didn't have time to let out a wail, and they were trampled into flesh by the demon beasts who pounced on them from behind.
The poisonous miasma produced by the poisonous explosion arrow did poison a lot of demon beasts, but this was nothing compared to the huge number of demon beasts. As the number of demon beasts surging up from the rear gradually increased, the area of the poisonous miasma began to shrink rapidly.
Obviously, the monsters didn't know how to detoxify, but they used the simplest and least efficient method of life filling, and quickly solved the miasma.
After paying for the lives of nearly two thousand demon beasts, the crazy demon beasts behind directly broke through the poisonous miasma and began to rush towards the city wall.
Rays of light with astonishing power continued to rush up, and began to sweep and kill those flying demon beasts in the sky. And the dense arrows containing Yuan Force also began to fly down from the city, raining down on the demon beasts that had already rushed to a place less than a hundred meters away from the city wall.
Whoosh whoosh!
The sound of breaking the air sounded one after another, and the demon beasts with excellent bouncing and crawling abilities bounced up at a great distance from the city wall, and the fifty-meter-high city wall, they just jumped to half or more than half of the height, roaring while quickly crawling towards the wall.
The shouts of killing sounded one after another, and the cultivators in various places in the city began to fight with the demon beasts that climbed up to the city.
The place where Ling Hao is located is no exception.
Not long after the siege began, a red-armored tiger full of arrows climbed up to the top of the city, and an archer who was shooting at the demon beast in the distance with a bow didn't have time to dodge at all, and was slapped to the ground by the red-armored tiger who had fallen into a state of madness with one paw and fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
The sharp sword slashed out of the air, and the officer in charge of this place slashed the red-armored tiger to the ground with a sword, and was about to order Ling Hao to quickly heal the archer, when he saw Ling Hao throw out two steel nails and hit him straight at the door in front of him.
Because Ling Hao was too young and was wearing a second-level pharmacist robe, this fourth-order cultivator of the Yuan Wheel Realm took it for granted that Ling Hao must be like an ordinary pharmacist, except for being able to treat the sergeants, he had no combat power.
But the moment Ling Hao threw out the steel nails, the officer instantly realized how stupid his previous judgment of Ling Hao was.
It's just, what is this kid doing with me?
The steel nails tore through the air, sending out a terrible roar. At the moment when the officer had not yet let out a roar, he turned around in mid-air, drew a graceful arc, and quickly swept behind the officer's ears.
Poof!
Two soft sounds came out, and the two green wood wolves that had just jumped onto the city were shot by Ling Hao's two steel nails and their heads were blown out, and the headless corpse fell behind the city, its claws still moving.
"Keep an eye on the city, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
Ling Hao said, quickly picking up the archer who had fallen in a pool of blood, and after washing the wound on his chest with a potion, he immediately stitched it up.
The officer only felt his eyes flicker, and the next moment, the huge wounds on the archer's chest were stitched up by Ling Hao, and after feeding him an elixir that could treat external injuries, Ling Hao immediately ordered those orderly soldiers and first-class pharmacists who were temporarily under his command to carry people away.
Is this you, who said it was a burden?
Master Shang doesn't necessarily have such a fast speed when he sews up people's wounds, right?
If this kid wanted to kill me just now, I wouldn't have the ability to resist at all!
I'm really a bad guy, I even thought that the above sent me a raw melon egg, but I didn't expect this to be a ruthless character!
Thinking that he had not had a very good attitude towards Ling Hao just now, the officer immediately nodded and said loudly:
"This battle is over, if we are all alive, I invite you to drink!"
After the middle-aged officer roared this voice, he immediately began to order the sergeants around him who were already in a panicked mood to attack the demon beasts that had climbed up to the top of the city.
In the world of ordinary people, when there are battles between countries, siege battles are still very tragic. In the world of cultivators, siege warfare, especially the siege warfare launched by demon beasts, will be magnified by hundreds or thousands of times.
The beast tide had completely rushed under the county seat of the Northern Continent, and an astonishing number of second-level demon beasts were frantically climbing the city wall.
The shouts of people and the roars of demon beasts resounded in the sky, and the thick smell of blood had even swept into the county town in the distance.
One by one, the demon beasts that had been killed or wounded continued to fall down the city walls, and on the side of the defending sergeants, the number of wounded began to rise rapidly.
Soon, more than half of the first sergeants in charge of defending the city had already suffered casualties, and many of the pharmacists who had been guarding the wall from the beginning had become tired from the intense treatment that lasted for two or three hours.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongju immediately ordered the follow-up troops to take over.
Even though the exhausted sergeants did not want to quit the battle, the follow-up troops forcibly took over their positions and sent them off the walls.
The battle report was sent to Zhao Hongju by a fief, and Zhao Hongju quickly flipped through the battle report to estimate the casualties, and at the same time dispatched troops to replenish the city wall.
Not long after, Zhao Hongju's hand stiffened suddenly.
The content of the battle report in front of me is very simple:
West of the city wall, eleventh. wounds, two hundred and thirty-four. Dead, none.
Dead, none?
No one died?
How could it be that no one died? Could it be that the information was wrong?
Zhao Hongju immediately walked out of the city gate tower and looked at the city wall described in the battle report.
I happened to see Ling Hao beat the two-tailed blue tiger that rushed up to the city wall alive with one punch, and in an instant, he picked up all the broken bones on the body of a wounded man, and ordered the orderly soldiers to send the wounded down to the city.
Zhao Hongju's eyes widened slightly, and he immediately realized that Chu Xuanying's previous description in the letter was not only not exaggerated, but very conservative.
Damn, underestimate this kid!
"Dashuai, call that kid who is as strong as a ghost!"
Shang Qian, who was covered in blood, also noticed Ling Hao's amazing performance, and he didn't have time to regret his previous behavior of not treating Ling Hao as a green onion, and said loudly with red eyes: "The pressure here is too great, the elite battalion is almost unable to withstand it!"
