Chapter 387: Phantom Beast Siege
With a "whew" of the wind, a huge bitter thorn tree flew towards the city wall.
Like a command, many bitter thorn trees flew towards the city wall, and countless stones were mixed with them.
"Oh no, the phantom beast has attacked!" a recruit cried out in fear.
With a "snap", an old ranger next to him slapped the recruit to the ground and scolded: "Idiot, don't you see those stones and trees thrown under the city wall?"
"What is this doing?"
"What are you doing?build a siege ramp, and wait for the next opportunity for a large number of phantom beasts to attack the city!"
When Zhu Tianpeng saw this scene, he sighed with emotion, is this still a phantom beast? It is no worse than the human army, and they all know how to build siege ladders!
Throwing the branches and rocks at them were a group of tall humanoid monsters, whose roars could be heard from afar, probably apes or bears.
Standing at the forefront of the resistance to the Phantom Beasts are the soldiers of the Patrol Mansion, and when dodging the attacking branches or stones, you have to watch out for the Phantom Beasts to steal up the walls.
According to Lao Zhu's estimate, this act of throwing tree trunks and stones should continue for a while before a strong ramp can be formed. Then, soon there were wrieches on the city walls.
It turned out that the bitter wattle tree that was thrown under the city had branches close to the battlements, and those whackers climbed up the trunk and rushed up, although they were quickly hacked to death by the defenders, but the follow-up rodents were endless.
No wonder most of those tall beasts throw trees, this is just to build a bridge for the wrick!
As there were more thorn trees under the walls, and more and more whackers climbed the walls, the defenders began to be a little scrambling.
The whamphs were so small that even with the special rat swatters and stinging hammers used by the defenders, it would be difficult to resist the swarming gophers.
"Ranger Fire, light up the outer walls. All the defenders, retreat to the inside of the walls!"
At the command of the general of the battle for the defense of the city walls, a group of rangers rushed forward quickly, their hands shining with fire, and then the fire balls left them and landed under the city walls.
Immediately afterward, a fire broke out on the outside of the wall, and the bitter thorn trees quickly dried up and burned.
When the fire was lit, there was a cacophony of squeaks under the city walls, and I don't know how many whacks were trapped in the flames.
Soon, a strong smell of meat and a pungent scorching smell reached everyone's noses at the same time, and the rangers did not avoid the unpleasant smell, but cheered loudly.
As soon as the fire was fired, the subsequent attacks of the phantom beasts stopped, and as for the whackers that had climbed the city wall, they were also slaughtered by the city defenders.
"The defenders of the city retreated, and the rangers of the ranger pavilions stepped forward!"
After the order was issued, the rangers of the various ranger halls in the Eighth Ring City replaced the city guards and stationed the city wall in their place.
The retreating defenders were covered in blood, but did not leave, but in the shouts of their respective officers, they treated their wounds, wiped their weapons, and prepared to go up the city wall again.
The flames on the outside of the city wall, which burned for about half a cup of tea, slowly weakened and finally extinguished.
Stones from tree trunks were hurled at the wall.
The wanderers who had just climbed the city wall rushed to the outside of the city wall and threw something like gunpowder in their hands down the wall.
The whacks attacked the city again, and a fire broke out on the outside of the walls.
The flames subsided, and the defenders of the Patrol Mansion went up to the wall again, and the top rangers and rangers who were good at group battles also rushed to the wall, and they jumped off the wall and killed them outside the wall.
At this time, under the city wall, it was densely packed with whamphants, gathered together, and countless green points of light overlapped, making people feel furious in their hearts.
Further into the jungle, there are more wriddles waiting to attack. Not only whackers, but also snakes, wild wolves, scorpions and the like, all in a bunch, there is no essential difference from the human military array.
As for those mutant phantom beasts, they are like army commanders, standing in the herd of beasts and leading the troops.
If there are people with dense phobias, they must be frightened when they see it. But the people of this world have long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and the rangers who rushed out of the city wall rushed straight to the beast herd, rushing towards the mutant phantom beasts in the beast herd.
"Kill!"
With a shining edge, the generals rampaged through the herd. But there are too many phantom beasts, and few of them can rush to the side of the mutant beasts, so they can only take the ordinary phantom beasts that keep surrounding.
Zhu Tianpeng did not rush to the city wall, but entered the team defending the city. Because he impersonated Liu Rudao, he was a top general, and he also became a team leader, commanding ten knights.
With the popularity of "Liu Rudao", he was originally unable to be a team leader, because no one wanted to follow him. However, the shopkeeper of the fire eyebrows still found ten closely related rangers and asked Lao Zhu to help take care of them.
Some of the mutant beasts dominated the beast group, and more mutant beasts gathered together, surrounding a humanoid monster, looking at this battle between humans and beasts, and seeing those attacking guerrillas slaughtering ordinary phantom beasts, they didn't care at all, and didn't take countermeasures.
"Senior Liu, when the first batch of guerrillas to attack returns to the city, the demon general will definitely order the demon ape and demon bear to throw mutated whamphs into the city in an attempt to disturb people's hearts, we must beat those mutated whamphs back, and we can't let them fall into the city walls. ”
The person who reminded Zhu Tianpeng was a man named Mo Cheng, a relative of Huomei, a ninth-level knight, who was assigned by Huomei as Lao Zhu's deputy, responsible for mentioning some precautions.
Looking at the fierce battlefield, Lao Zhu was enthusiastic and wanted to rush down to the city. Thinking about the mention of blood Yonghou, Lao Zhu, who was eager to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts, began to regret a little, he shouldn't have listened to Huomei's advice and joined the city defense team.
However, the water season is still very long, as long as the supreme demon general of the phantom beast is not killed, the phantom beast will not retreat, the war will continue, and there is a chance to fight.
The attacking swimmers will return one after another, with the response of the city, about ninety percent of the swimmers will successfully return, and nearly one percent of the swimmers will fall into the herd of beasts, and finally be swallowed by countless phantom beasts.
Some of the guerrillas who attacked, perhaps because they didn't know enough about themselves, or maybe they encountered a sneak attack by mutant beasts, and were finally trapped by the phantom beasts and didn't come back!
Seeing that the bones of several wanderers were gone, Lao Zhu was very surprised in his heart, this is really a tragic war!
"I saw the 'Zhenshan Axe' senior Lu rushing into the whackle swarm, as if he hadn't come out! Could it be that Senior Lu had already ......
A chivalrous man under Lao Zhu said sadly.
Mo Cheng sighed and said: "Senior Lu is famous for his strength, and many high-level generals are not his opponents, but he is not flexible enough, his steps are bulky, and he should not have attacked the herd of beasts! Alas, he is bent on comprehending the true meaning of martial arts, and he does not listen to persuasion, so he has to attack! He has not been married for a few years, and his son is only three years old, how can the mother and son live in the future?"
At this time, the various knight teams began to walk up the city walls.
Zhu Tianpeng also led ten knights to the city wall. He leaned out of the city wall, and saw that there were traces of fire everywhere below, and the city wall, which was originally three feet high, had been lost three or four feet out of thin air, and all of them were heightened by the charred black corpses and stones of the rodents, and a pungent smell of burnt corpses went straight to his nose.
As soon as the knights took their place on the city wall, countless whamphs flew out of the dark jungle.
Those demon apes and demon bears grabbed dozens of whackling tails in one hand and threw them at the city wall. After throwing it, he continued to catch the rat's tail and threw the whack one after another.
"Everyone, be careful not to let a single gopher enter the city. ”
Despite the orders of the defending general, the strength of the demon ape and the demon bear was very strong, and many of the flying whacks flew high over the city walls and fell into the city.
One or two gophers are not terrible, even women and children who have not cultivated can kill them. However, the whampher carries the virus, and many times in the past the defense of the city was because the rodent was allowed to enter the city, and the plague eventually formed, and countless people died as a result. Humanity has a hard lesson in this regard.
Zhu Tianpeng stood on top of the battlements, and within the range of his seven-star spear, all the waffles flying in the air were sent back by him, even the waffles that were thrown very high were shot down by his gun qi. Not only that, but he also annihilated all the whamphs above the heads of his knights.
"No, this isn't a mutated whack! The cubs are even more cunning, be careful!"
The whens that were thrown over were indeed very easy not to kill, and even if some fell in the city, they were quickly culled by humans, and there were indeed no mutated whamphs.
After running around the jungle with a bunch of common whacks, they began to throw trees and rocks at the city walls.
Even the experienced defenders of the city, knowing that they had encountered more cunning generals than before, after consulting with several generals around him, decided to send a pair of top generals to slaughter the group of demon apes and demon bears.
This time, the people who attacked the jungle were all top rangers, and there was also a chivalrous king to lead the team.
Seeing a group of masters rushing into the beast tide, Zhu Tianpeng said hello to Mo Xian, and also jumped off the city wall.
Because a group of rangers concentrated on the assault, even the beast tide could not resist it, and soon, Zhu Tianpeng followed the crowd to the place where the demon ape and demon bear were.
Who would have thought that those demon apes and demon bears would quickly retreat, and a group of mutated snakes rushed over, blocking the pursuit of the generals.
"Kill!"
Lao Zhu danced the seven-star spear, and one shot hit the seven inches of a ghost snake, breaking the snake's body.
Before hundreds of mutant snakes could be slaughtered, countless mutant beasts rushed over.
"Bang!"
A loud sound of weapons colliding brought a wave of energy, which made Zhu Tianpeng's steps forward can't help but be stunned.
"The Demon Suppression Hall Master has already blocked the opponent's Demon King-level master, everyone ignore these mutant beasts and rush over to kill the Demon Ape Demon Bear!"
To a certain extent, the Demon Ape Demon Bear is the engineer of the Phantom Beast Army, and the attack of the Phantom Beast depends on them to build an attack bridge, if the Demon Ape Demon Bear can be wiped out, it will greatly weaken the attack efficiency of the Phantom Beast Army.
Lao Zhu no longer paid attention to the mutant beasts around him, covered his whole body with his Ruyi battle armor, and quickly chased and killed the demon ape and demon bear in the distance.
At this time, Zhu Tianpeng's blood was boiling, he didn't care about cultivating martial arts, he only thought about killing.
He was running fast in the beast tide, and in a moment he caught up with the retreating demon ape and demon bear, and the seven-star spear flashed out, and the head of a demon ape in front of him exploded.
The seven-star spear pierced left and right, the speed was extremely fast, and the demon ape demon bear without supernatural powers couldn't dodge Zhu Tianpeng's killing move at all, and in a moment, twenty or thirty demon ape demon bears died under the seven-star spear.
"Woo-ha!"
An unusually tall demon ape stopped running and turned around and rushed at Zhu Tianpeng, his face was extremely hideous, and he kept howling angrily.
Lao Zhu habitually took out the gun, but the demon ape grabbed the head of the seven-star spear with one hand, and it pulled it back hard, trying to pull Zhu Tianpeng over.
The strength is far greater than Lao Zhu's estimate. He was unprepared for a while, and he was pulled forward involuntarily.
The demon ape saw that the enemy was in front of him, and the other wanted to choke Lao Zhu's neck. Fortunately, Lao Zhu reached out quickly enough, and he hit the spot, his right leg flew up, and he kicked on the jaw of the demon ape.
Although the jaw was hit hard, the demon ape's head was tilted back, but it only took a few steps back and stood up straight.
Not only did the demon ape not faint, but it didn't even bleed from its jaw, this resistance is very strong, and it is not inferior to ordinary Daoist demon cultivators!
Lao Zhu took the opportunity to withdraw the seven-star spear and attacked the tall demon ape again. This time, he was on guard, and the seven-star spear made it fast, constantly stabbing the demon ape, leaving holes under the demon ape.
The demon ape's two big hands grabbed left and right, but they never touched the seven-star spear. Because of this, the Seven Star Spear failed to give the Demon Ape more damage.
On the other hand, it is also the demon ape's physical body that is extraordinarily tough, and the seven-star spear always encounters a resistance when it enters his muscles, and the fast-attacking seven-star spear fails to penetrate the demon wolf's body.
At this time, a lot of generals rushed to Zhu Tianpeng's side and killed those demon apes and demon bears one by one.
At the same time, various mutant beasts also rushed forward and stopped the pursuit of the generals. There were many mutant beasts intercepting them, and the remaining demon apes and demon bears quickly ran away, not giving the generals a chance to slaughter them.
"Return as soon as possible, don't linger!"
The hall master of the Demon Suppression Hall shouted to the attacking guerrillas while fighting with the demon king-level phantom beast.
The top players quickly got rid of the mutant beast and turned around to rush to the place where the city wall was.
Lao Zhu returned to the city wall, caught the rattan rope thrown by Mo Cheng, and returned to the city wall smoothly.
"Senior Liu, you are so powerful! you can come and go freely among the beasts!"
Lao Zhu didn't make a sound, his face was serious. Through the battle just now, he found that the mutation directions of the phantom beasts were different, and the demon ape not only had a strong body, but also had great strength.
"Return as soon as possible, don't linger!"
