Chapter 8 Alternate Impact
"This is a mountain climbing beast! You can smash it with a barrel of oil!" said the strategist Nian Lang to the general Zhou Renguang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Use a fire oil drum!" Zhou Renguang hurriedly ordered.
Hundreds of wooden barrels filled with fire oil smashed down with brushes, the oil barrels were no better than arrows, and the mountain-climbing beasts and monsters couldn't avoid such a large and dense barrel attack, and they were smashed one after another, and some were smashed down directly.
Soaked with fire oil, the climbing beast could no longer grasp it, and soon all slipped under the wall, never to climb up again.
The battle lasted until dusk, and the defending sergeants were unharmed except for one who stumbled and fell off the city wall, but the archers could barely raise their arms, and Zhou Renguang had to order a truce to rest for a while.
The hard labor battalion continuously transported arrows, oil barrels and other material resources to the city wall, and the arrows that Lin Luo was almost exhausted on his side were also supplied. The existence of the border city is to resist this beast tide, and the strategic materials are extremely well stocked, and they are simply inexhaustible.
The demon beasts suffered heavy casualties, for such a moat, ordinary demon beasts were unable to attack at all, at this time, the rain of arrows on their heads stopped pouring down, and the demon beasts began to gnaw on the flesh and blood left by their companions, and some curled up on the spot to rest.
"Hum!"
A roar like a steamship whistle sounded in the sea of trees.
The monsters under the walls of the city stopped moving, and moved as if they had heard an order.
The guards on the city wall were all excited, is this the beast tide about to retreat?
However, instead of moving backwards, the beast tide slowly retreated to both sides, leaving a corridor that was not too wide.
"Hum!"
The roar came from far and near!
Hundreds of unusually tall monsters rushed out of the sea of trees with their heads held high!
Lin Luo was so shocked that he couldn't speak, this was a creature like a long-necked dragon among dinosaurs, with an extremely slender neck, and he was probably several feet tall when he stood up, with such a huge body, but his movements were not slow at all.
Zhou Renguang, the general who had been supervising the formation on the city wall, had never seen such a huge creature before, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Not only did Zhou Renguang never see it, but all the sergeants on the city wall were unheard of, and they all looked at it with a big mouth.
Except for the strategist Nianlang, who was so frightened that his beard trembled, and said, "This—this is the roar of the sky!"
I had seen this Ferris Roar when I was a teenager, I am afraid it was forty or fifty years ago, and the guard sergeant had suffered heavy casualties!
"Hurry! trebuchet!" Nian Lang didn't care to give Zhou Renguang advice, and shouted to himself, if he let this skyscraper roar close to the city wall, it would be dangerous.
Ferris Roar was huge, covered in hard scale armor, and the arrows were no threat to it.
"Trebuchet!" Zhou Renguang also called.
More than a dozen trebuchets were pushed out by the sergeants of the Shenji Battalion and lined up on the city wall, and before the big stones were loaded, the Sky Roar group had already rushed under the city wall.
I saw that the skyscraper roared group and lowered their heads to hold a climbing beast in their mouths, and with such a hard flick of their long necks, one by one the climbing beasts were directly thrown up, shooting towards the city wall like cannonballs.
The height of the skyscraper roar itself was close to ten zhang, and the force of one throw also threw the climbing beast about ten zhang high, and the climbing beast fell to the height of nearly twenty zhang on the city wall.
Some of the climbing beasts that had been drenched in the oil had already wiped the oil in the pile of flesh and blood at the bottom, and some climbing beasts that had not been drenched in the oil were thrown up at this time.
The height of ten zhang is not a problem for the climbing beasts, and a few of them have faintly approached the top of the city wall! Some of the guards smashed the oil barrels down, some stabbed them down with their spears, and some poured the oil directly down the city wall. The oil soon flowed down the river and covered the entire stone wall, which became unusually slippery.
At this time, the trebuchet was already in place, and the boulder balls with a diameter of about one meter were thrown one after another, roaring towards the skyscrapers below the city.
"Bang!"
A few Ferris Roars were directly hit in the head and fell to the ground, but the other Ferris Roars who were hit in the body were only shorter and didn't seem to have suffered huge damage, and after screaming, they continued to pick up various monsters and throw them at the city wall.
A large number of climbing beasts were thrown up one after another, and one of them grabbed the city wall and rushed suddenly, and the beast's head had already landed on the edge of the top of the city wall.
"Drink!" Chen Ji, the captain of the Shenji Battalion on the side, saw it clearly, and rushed forward directly, slashing the head of the climbing beast with his sword, splitting the beast's head in half.
"Trebuchet, fire oil drum!" Seeing this, General Zhou Renguang knew that he could no longer let this skyscraper roar throw the climbing beast up. If the climbing beast is allowed to stand firm at the top of the city, ordinary soldiers will not be able to fight against it at all.
A trebuchet filled with oil drums is in place.
A drum of fire oil was thrown directly at Ferris Roar, smashing on Ferris Roar and exploding, and the fire oil splashed everywhere.
"Rocket!
Rumble!
Not only did the canyon turn into a sea of fire, but even the Divine Axe Barrier burned because it was stained with fire oil. The climbing beasts attached to the city wall screamed and fell, and the skyscraper roaring beasts turned into fireballs, burned wildly, frantically shaking their necks and hitting the stone wall.
The other monsters in the canyon also let out a piercing scream, killing and injuring countless people, and a large number of demon beasts that had not been stained with fire oil retreated in fright.
Lin Luo and the other sergeants were silent as they looked at the demon beasts scurrying in the sea of fire. In this situation, Lin Luo has long had no room to interfere.
The fire attack also has a lot of damage to the Divine Axe barrier, and it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Hahaha!" Watching the demon beasts in the firelight retreat one after another, Zhou Renguang couldn't help but laugh proudly. It seems that this time not only guarded this wave of powerful beast tide attacks, but also unscathed, and reported to the imperial court, which is another great achievement!
It seemed that the beast tide had come to an end, and a terrible but piercing cry came from the sea of trees!
In the firelight, a giant bird and monster flew out of the sea of trees.
The giant bird and monster beast was shaped like an eagle, but it was several times larger, and its wings were weak when it flew, and it swooped towards the city wall like a glider.
In the blink of an eye, the giant bird and demon beast swept past the city wall, and a pair of iron wings directly lifted dozens of soldiers off the city wall. Falling off this city wall dozens of feet high, it is natural that you will die.
Several soldiers escorted Zhou Renguang to retreat to the fortress on the edge of the city wall.
Looking at the giant bird that was circling and flying back, Zhou Renguang asked, "What kind of demon beast is this?"
Nian Lang hadn't seen it either, and hesitated: "The old man doesn't know either, maybe it's a red-eyed golden eagle?" "Flying monsters are extremely rare, and Nian Lang also sees that there are several mentioned in the literature.
In the blink of an eye, the giant birds and monsters swept over the city wall again, and more than a dozen soldiers who could not dodge were thrown down screaming again. The giant beast flew to a trebuchet, and the iron wings were around, easily pulling a trebuchet apart.
"This—this is the Wind Breaker!"
Nian Lang finally remembered what kind of demon beast this was, "General, this is a fourth-order demon beast!"
The Wind Splitter Falcon flies extremely fast, and the edges of the iron wings are very sharp, and when flying at the highest speed, it is said that a pair of iron wings can directly cut through the big tree surrounded by four people without slowing down!
At this time, the fire in the canyon under the city wall gradually decreased, and the demon beast group began to gather again. The most terrifying skyscraper and climbing beast also began to regroup, as if to launch a wave of attacks when the giant beast disrupted the defenses on the city wall.
At this time, the sergeants on the city wall were too busy to take care of themselves, and they were all holding their heads under the attack of the flying demon beast, if the climbing beast was allowed to go up to the city wall at this time, then the situation would not be good!
