Chapter 109: The Battle of Defending the City
The drums rumbled, and groups of huge stone armies approached the city wall, and among them, there were some huge stone beasts, like moving hills, slowly marching with the army.
In the sky, a group of gray shadows flew in the dark, and the momentum was huge, covering the sky and the sun.
When she looked at it, these gray shadows turned out to be stone beasts with wings! They flapped their wings and flew towards the sky above Yunjian Immortal City.
It seems that Long Hao's boulder army has already surrounded Yunjian Immortal City, and he is not even ready to let go of a bird.
Pregnant Qiao turned around and glanced at Isohime and Liuyun behind him, they had nowhere to escape at this time, they could only fight hard, maybe there was still a chance of life.
Isohime seemed to see what was going on in her heart, and nodded violently at Pregnant Qiao.
She looked at the city wall again, and saw that the city wall was full of soldiers who had lost their armor and fled in all directions. She jerked out her hand and grabbed a leather-armored soldier and shouted, "Your city lord!"
The leather-armored soldier was already frightened and lost his soul, so he just shook his head and said again and again: "The little one doesn't know, the little one doesn't know!"
Pregnant Qiao's face flashed, and he pulled out the half-moon scimitar and cut off the head of the leather-armored soldier.
She stood high on the wall, carrying the bloody head of the leather-armored soldier in her hands, and shouted, "If there is anyone who escapes from the battle, kill him!"
Several more leather-armored soldiers desperately fled off the walls. With a flash of cyan light, the soldiers were shaved off their heads by the afterimage.
The leather-armored soldiers on the city wall did not dare to move, and looked at Pregnant Qiao with a look of fear.
Standing on the city wall, she looked at everyone like a killing god. He said loudly: "You must not retreat, you must stick to this place! It is your parents and family who will be in the future! You have retreated, where are you putting them? The eldest husband deserves to die on the battlefield! Abandon the edge of the blade, and his life can be safe? Listen to me! No one is allowed to take half a step back!"
Pregnant Qiao's voice echoed in the mid-air of Yunjian Immortal City like a bell, and reached the ears of every soldier.
"Abandon the edge of the blade, and take your life?"
Several soldiers in leather armor, muttering these two words of Pregnant Qiao, picked up their weapons on the ground again, and showed a resolute look in their eyes, ready to fight the enemy to the death.
More and more leather-armored soldiers returned to the city walls and began to arrange the defenses on the city walls.
They built a war grid on top of the women's wall and covered it with watered cowhide and cotton felt. The castings between the battlements were also filled with huge stones. Truckloads of boulders and sassalwoods were lifted up the city walls one after another. There were also countless barrels of fire oil and arrows.
Not enough! Far from enough! These defensive forces simply can't resist Long Hao's army of boulders!
"Uh...... The seventh squad only has two beast water bags, and the total is only three stone water, if the enemy attacks with fire, I am afraid that this battlement will be lost!"
"Go and fill the water in a wooden barrel!"
"Whoa!"
She ran between the city walls, directing the soldiers to set up the defenses, and at the same time swatting a lightning charm on each of the boulders of the catapult.
The horn was getting closer.
Pregnant Qiao looked down at the city wall, and saw that Long Hao's tens of thousands of boulder troops had already approached the city, ready for battle.
The gray stone beasts in the sky swirled like a tumbling dark cloud.
"Jiaocheng Lord, if you have friends from afar, you don't personally go out of the city to greet you!hahahaha!" Long Hao, who was wearing golden armor, stood in the middle of the team at this time, and his voice rolled in, earth-shattering, and resounded in the sky.
The time of the half-pillar incense had passed, and there was still silence in the Yunjian Immortal City, and no one answered Long Hao's question. Long Hao was furious, and as soon as he raised his hand, he was about to give the order for the army to attack!
"Long Hao, as a royal family of the Chaos Realm, now, you actually want to wash the Yunjian Immortal City in blood! Don't you feel ashamed!"
"Who are you, and dare to show up for this king?"
Pregnant Qiao also wondered a little in her heart: This Jiaoyue City Lord still didn't show up at this moment, could it be that she was not in Yunjian Immortal City, and she had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape? No matter what, it was good that she could delay for a while and a half to buy some time for the army to deploy defenses.
"Hmph! You don't care who I am! I'm just an insignificant little person. But you are different, you are a royal family, but for a woman who has been abducted, you will go to great lengths! Even at the cost of the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people in the entire Yunjian Immortal City, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world!"
"What did you say!"
Long Hao's face turned purple with anger, he didn't expect that the secret past between him, Yu Cripple and Jiaoyue would be shaken out in public!
"Jiaoyue, that slut, abandoned the city and fled, even if she fled to the ends of the earth, this king will definitely capture her back!"
Pregnant Qiao cleared her throat and continued to pinch her nose and said, "As you said! Jiaoyue City Lord is not in the city now, she has abandoned the city and fled. There are only some old, young, sick and disabled people left in this Yunjian Immortal City, I advise the king, let's withdraw the troops quickly!"
"Big brother, Hugh wants to mess with this witch. Long Che, dressed in cyan armor, stepped forward and said with shame and anger.
Long Hao snorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, the signal for the whole army to attack was launched, and a loud horn sounded out.
She knew in her heart that the matter had come to this, the war was about to break out, and there was no possibility of reversal, so she could only find a way to defend the city gate.
Long Hao's army of megaliths slowly advanced towards the city gates, and the beast carts and catapults kept throwing boulders at the city walls. In the sky, the gray stone beast also launched an attack on the defenders on the city wall.
"Boom"
Huge stones were thrown onto the walls, which were heavy but had been smashed out of a hole. There were constantly leather-armored soldiers who were dragged by stone beasts in the air, tumbling and falling off the city walls.
In a moment, the walls were filled with weeping.
"Catapult, launch!"
She walked between the city walls, constantly commanding from the battlefield.
"Boom!"
The huge stone rolled down into Long Hao's team and exploded, causing bursts of thunder that instantly knocked down a large part of the giant stone army.
Long Hao was shocked and hurriedly ordered the whole army to speed up!
The leather-armored soldiers on the walls were demoralized and continued to throw boulders and oil drums into the army of boulders.
"Not good...... My lord, the ninth and twelfth squads have enemy troops climbing up with ladders!"
"Smash it with a sasshole! If it really doesn't work, pour the oil on it!"
"Whoa!"
Pregnant Qiao's face was blackened by thick smoke, and she held a grappling gun more than two feet long, and personally went into battle, stabbing at the gray-clothed stone army on the ladder.
Long Hao, who was watching the battle under the city, pointed at the pregnant Qiao on the city wall and shouted, "Catch that woman for this king!"
