Chapter 115: City Guards

The City Guards are worthy of being the exclusive force of Linhai City, and the effect of having them join immediately appears. Under their attack, the poisonous frogs under the city walls were constantly strangled.

Half an hour after the siege began, the poisonous frogs did not climb the city walls, and thousands of poisonous frogs were killed under the attack of the city guards and mercenaries.

This is the best battle since the Kraken army attacked the city.

Soon the corpses of poisonous frogs were piled up under the city walls, and in some places the knitting accumulated a height of more than ten meters. Some powerful poisonous frogs can climb the walls once and use their long and powerful sea snakes to kill the defenders.

The large number of casualties did not make the army of poisonous frogs cowardly, but aroused their ferocity.

The army of poisonous frogs rushed to the city wall one after another, constantly assisting each other in attacking the guards on the city wall. The battle became fierce.

"The eastern city wall will send a team of city guards, and the western city wall will allow the mercenaries to spare no effort to attack......" one by one, orders were issued from Li Haibo's mouth.

The city guards in charge of delivering the message ran around delivering the news.

The sky had already darkened, and the third wave of the Kraken's siege had begun almost three hours ago.

"What the hell is going on, it's been almost three hours now. The Kraken army showed no signs of retreating. A flash of anxiety flashed across the face of one of the lieutenants.

Compared with the first two sieges, this third wave of sieges lasted a little too long. It's already a lot more than the previous two combined.

Because of the darkness of the sky, no one knows how many poisonous frogs there are. Just a rough estimate, the defenders have killed at least more than 30,000 poisonous frogs.

Compared with the Kraken army, the losses of the defenders this time were much smaller, and the number of dead and wounded did not exceed 10,000. However, this loss still gave Li Haibo and others a headache.

With such heavy casualties on the first day, they could not imagine how many casualties would occur in the ensuing siege battle.

As the battle escalated, even the Dire Turtle Protector Sea Serpent kept approaching the walls. More than 30,000 sea snakes launched ice arrows at the same time, and the scene was spectacular.

The penetrating and freezing nature of the ice arrows gradually revealed, and with the attack of the ice arrows in the sky, many monks would be killed after each round of attacks.

In order to fight against the sea serpent's ice arrows, Li Haibo sent out his archers.

Each of these archers was a Spiritualist monk, numbering about 10,000 people. They are ranged attackers cultivated by Rinsea City, armed with a bow and arrow, and begin to fight back.

"Shoot. "Under the command of the archers, ten thousand archers shot arrows at the same time.

~Poof~Poof~ Poof, the sound of arrows piercing into the flesh came. The arrows are carefully crafted to penetrate the body of the sea serpent with great penetration.

Seeing the archers' mighty appearance, the mercenaries also found confidence and began to join the sequence of counterattacks.

The fighting escalated and casualties mounted. After three hours of fighting, the army of poisonous frogs stepped on the hill piled up by their own people and climbed the city wall again.

A more motivating melee battle begins.

The mercenaries responsible for defending the city are cultivated in the early and middle stages of Gathering Spirits, and a very few have the late cultivation of Gathering Spirits. And the poisonous frog also belongs to the fifth-level demon beast, which is equivalent to the strength of the early stage of human spirit gathering.

Although it has the advantage of cultivation, it is already very good for mercenaries to be able to fight one-on-one because of their hearts. Some of those who are scared even choose to flee.

As more and more poisonous frogs attacked the city walls, the battle situation became more and more unfavorable for the defenders.

"Commander Li, isn't it time for the city guards to take action? A disciple of the Xu family said anxiously. The city guards belong to the official forces of Linhai City, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of mercenaries, especially in terms of temperament.

"No, I can't. This is only the first day of the Kraken's attack on the city, and the city guards cannot be used. Li Haibo is still stubborn. In his eyesight, a few poisonous frogs didn't do much at all.

But the next battle situation made him dumbfounded. As more and more poisonous frogs appeared on the city walls, the mercenaries did not resist, but chose to flee.

"Damn, these mercenaries are so vulnerable. An adjutant general roared angrily, turned his head and looked at Li Haibo with a look of hope, "Commander, now you must send the city guards to take action." ”

Li Haibo sighed helplessly and gave the order for the city guards to take action.

The lieutenant general immediately went down to make arrangements, and soon a group of city guards wearing standard armor appeared at the head of the city. They began to clean the city walls of poisonous frogs.

The cultivation of these city guards is not high, but they are brave in battle, and they advance and retreat in moderation, and they quickly suppress the attack of the poisonous frogs. Some mercenaries reacted and joined the counterattack.

With the cooperation of the two sides, the poisonous frogs on the city were gradually forced down.

"Order all the city guards to kill me severely. Li Haibo roared.

The lieutenant generals ordered to leave, leading the city guards to start killing the demon beasts under the city walls. Under the leadership of the city guards, a large number of Krakens were killed.

The mercenaries also grew emboldened and joined the counterattack.

~Wow~, the roar of the ichthyosaur beast sounded again, and the besieging kraken seemed to have received an order and began to retreat slowly. The third wave of sieges heralded the end.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with such a high-intensity battle, even a monk would be tired. Not to mention the huge psychological pressure.

Li Haibo took advantage of this opportunity to immediately issue an order to repair and let people check the casualties. When the casualty statistics appeared, the people on the tower of the city gate froze.

Although they had been mentally prepared for a long time, it was still difficult for those present to accept it when they saw the number of casualties. Especially Li Haibo, as the supreme conductor.

"I didn't expect the loss to be so big, it seems that we still underestimate this group of krakens who are called cannon fodder. An adjutant general said with a solemn face.

Li Haibo's face turned pale, and his hands trembled with anger. The huge casualties made it difficult for him to escape the punishment of the family. Even if he is a descendant of the Li family, it will not be easy.

The death of the mercenary didn't matter to him, because these people were supposed to do things with money. In order to reduce the place of the three major families, it doesn't matter if you die a little more.

The deaths and injuries of the thousands of city guards were the biggest obstacle to his escape from punishment.

As the descendant force of the three major families, the city guards have spent a huge amount of time to cultivate, and they are not comparable to mercenaries in terms of loyalty and combat effectiveness.

"Commander, do you want to hand over the battle report? An adjutant asked cautiously. He also knew that the current situation was very unfavorable for Li Haibo.

"Go ahead. Li Haibo said lightly, as if he had accepted his fate.

The adjutant left with the battle report.

"Leave a part of the defenders on guard, and everyone hurry up to repair. After the adjutant general left, Li Haibo gave the order to renovate. Siren raids rarely attack at night.

Orders were issued one after another, and everyone really cherished this rare time of practice.

"A few seniors, you should also go back to the city to rest. There should be no more fighting tonight. Li Haibo turned his head to Haotian and the others and said.

For Haotian and others, Li Haibo does not dare to underestimate them now. Especially when he saw Ling Hongyu's strength when he rescued the advance team, he had already vaguely guessed that there were many spiritual infancy cultivators among these people in front of him, and such a strong man was not something that he could underestimate as a small city guard commander.
