Chapter 183: Resist the Beast Tide!
The spirit beast below climbed to a position only a dozen meters away from the city.
Above the castle tower, a fiery red flag was erected!
On the castle tower, the soldiers who had been waiting behind the archers for a long time lit the oil in the large iron bucket, and then in pairs, they poured it down the castle tower......
Oh......
The mournful screams of spirit beasts suddenly came from the downstairs of the city.
The soldiers on the castle tower are obviously trained to fight against spirit beasts, after all, every winter, spirit beasts will attack the surrounding cities.
Upstairs at the city gate.
Zhang Yuan, the guard of Jinyang City, stood there with a calm face, looking at the dense spirit beasts under the city tower, without the slightest fear.
After becoming the general of the north gate of Jinyang City, this kind of battle with spirit beasts, he has commanded dozens of times.
Although every battle was fierce, he knew that the battle of their level was only the lowest, and the most important battle was between the high-level spirit beasts and the monks.
The battle lasted several hours, and because the towers were built so well and tall, the human soldiers suffered little loss, but everyone was a little exhausted.
On the other hand, the spirit animal.
The corpses of spirit beasts were lying under the city tower, after all, spirit beasts belonged to a lower species and did not have human thoughts.
Suddenly, a loud beast roar came from the direction of the Chuyun Mountain Range.
There was a loud roar, and the heads of all the soldiers on the tower of the city were buzzing.
After Zhang Yuan heard this roar, his face changed!
It's coming! Zhang Yuan secretly screamed in his heart.
The spirit beast that was desperately climbing the city tower heard this loud roar. As if summoned by something, he stopped the attack, and quickly receded like a returning tide.
Suddenly, under the city tower, only the corpses of various spirit beasts were densely packed.
Seeing the spirit beast retreat, everyone on the city tower breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when everyone had a little relaxation.
On the horizon in the direction of the Chuyun Mountain Range, there was a huge sound of footsteps!
I saw hundreds of thousands of huge spirit beasts rushing towards the city wall as if they were riding the wind.
The sound of a huge stamped ground was like an earthquake! The huge castle tower felt a slight vibration!
Seeing these hundreds of thousands of huge spirit beasts, Zhang Yuan's face suddenly turned pale.
How could there be so many four-stage spirit beasts this year!Zhang Yuan exclaimed.
In the past few years, there were only 10,000 or 20,000 Sijie spirit beasts, but this year, why did more than 100,000 come at once!
But time has passed, Zhang Yuan can not think about it.
Heavy crossbow! Hurry! Hurry!
Zhang Yuan shouted at the stunned Lingqi soldiers around him.
Several banner soldiers heard Zhang Yuan's roar before they came back to their senses, and one of them quickly pulled out a large white flag beside him.
Crazy swinging!
When the soldiers on the city wall saw the big white flag, they all recovered from their horror.
Quickly pushed a huge ballista behind each of them, and then loaded it with a huge crossbow arrow!
After a while, the hundreds of thousands of spirit beasts that were tens of thousands of meters away ran to a distance of only about two thousand meters from the city wall.
Shoot the heavy crossbow!" Zhang Yuan shouted.
Immediately after Zhang Yuan's words fell, the flag soldier who had already prepared continued to wave the white flag in his hand up and down!
With the command flag waved in the hands of the flag soldiers.
Countless huge crossbow arrows shot at the hundreds of thousands of four-tier spirit beasts thousands of kilometers away with the whirring sound of breaking through the air.
Those four spirit beasts that were running felt the huge power on the crossbow arrows, and they stopped neatly in an instant.
Then, all the spirit beasts made a defensive gesture. Bursts of aura fluctuations emanated from their bodies, and I saw that all the spirit beasts had a protective light shield on their bodies.
Bite... Bite...!
The rain of crossbow arrows carrying huge energy instantly hit the protective shield held up by those spirit beasts. There was a crisp sound, but it couldn't break through the protective layer of those four-tier spirit beasts at all!
As if he had known this situation for a long time, after Zhang Yuan saw it, there was no change in his eyes.
With the interval between each crossbow arrow change of the soldiers on the castle tower, those four-stage spirit beasts took a few steps forward, and then took a defensive stance again, resisting the next round of crossbow arrow attacks!
After dozens of waves of crossbow arrows attacked, the hundreds of thousands of four-tier spirit beasts below also gradually traveled a distance of several hundred meters.
After some time.
At this time, the soldiers on the city wall only had about a hundred crossbow arrows left in their hands!
Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuan's face showed a look of worry!
The four spirit beasts are different from ordinary spirit beasts, with the attack power of the four spirit beasts, although the city walls of Jinyang City are tall, but for the four spirit beasts, it is no different from a layer of tissue paper.
From the moment the spirit beasts attacked, Zhang Yuan quickly ordered people to go and inform the city lord, what he had to do was to stop these spirit beasts under the city wall before the support sent by the city lord arrived!
With the remaining crossbow arrows now, it can only support half a pillar of incense for another time, if the people who support it have not arrived by then, then the gate to the north of "Jinyang City" will be completely opened, and at that time, not only will he and all the soldiers die, but even the people in the city behind him will become the belly of the spirit beast!
Pass the order, everyone must not slack off! Don't break the attack! Zhang Yuan shouted loudly at the banner soldiers beside him!
I saw that the flag soldier holding the white flag continued to wave the flag a few times!
The soldiers, who were already exhausted, saw the message of this flag, and they all gritted their teeth and insisted on carrying huge crossbow arrows and loading them on the huge ballista carts......
......
The time of half a pillar of incense passed quickly in the nervous mood of Zhang Yuan and several others!
All the soldiers loaded the last bolt in their hands and activated the ballista's mechanism!
Dingdingding......
After the crunch.
Those spirit beasts advanced a few meters after defense.
Then he took a defensive stance......
However, those spirit beasts waited for a moment, and did not wait for the attack of the crossbow bolts again!
Then the spirit beasts began to run with all their might, crashing into the city wall about five hundred meters away!
In the blink of an eye......
Three hundred meters have passed!
There was still a distance of 200 meters before it hit the city wall.
At this time, including Zhang Yuan, the faces of all the soldiers turned very pale, and everyone subconsciously closed their eyes to welcome the arrival of death!
After all, for a huge four-tier spirit beast, the distance of two hundred meters was only a dozen steps......
Right now!
Everyone who had just closed their eyes suddenly felt that the sky suddenly darkened!
Immediately after, terrifying aura fluctuations came down from the sky!
Everyone subconsciously opened their eyes and looked at the sky!
I saw countless birds swooping down in the sky!
Countless brilliant martial arts emanated from the hands of the monks standing above those birds!
Don't worry, everyone! Our reinforcements have arrived, Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing which flying mounts, and said excitedly.
At this time, all the soldiers sighed......
At this time, the birds fell to the ground at the gate of the city, and countless monks jumped down from the birds and fought with those four-stage spirit beasts......
Above the city walls.
Du Wei, the city lord of "Jinyang City", and three retinues jumped down from the birds and landed beside Zhang Yuan.
General Zhang, hard work.
Dewey landed on the ground and said with a smile at Zhang Yuan on the city wall.
Greetings to the City Lord!" Zhang Yuan hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
The enemy doesn't need to be polite at the moment. Dewey said with a smile.
City Lord, this beast tide is much more violent than in previous years! In the past few years, there were tens of thousands of spirit beasts, but this time there are more than 100,000 beast tides! Zhang Yuan said to Dewey in return.
Hearing Zhang Yuan's report, Dewey hurriedly looked towards the city.
I saw that a huge spirit beast was attacking the monk he brought, and looking at the situation, his side obviously fell below!
However, there are hundreds of monks who have destroyed the realm by himself, and they can still block the attacks of those spirit beasts for the time being.
The situation is urgent, and I have only transferred 30,000 monks from the Star Sea Realm and 120 monks from the Earth Annihilation Realm.
Du Fang, you hurry up and pass on the order of my city lord, contact the forty-eight towns in the six districts under the jurisdiction of Jinyang City, and order the various sect families under the jurisdiction to send monks above the Star Sea Realm to help!
Dewey said quickly to one of his attendants.
The man on the left of the three said with a fist at Dewey.
Then the man got on the fowl and drove away!
How could there be so many spirit beasts in this beast tide? At this time, Dewey thought very puzzled.
......
The battle below was extremely tragic, and the human monks were almost pressed and beaten by spirit beasts, and they could only defend passively.
There is no way, after all, there are too many spirit beasts than them!
But each of them had a very firm look in their eyes, and there was no fear at all! they were all trying their best to resist the attack of the spirit beast, and they would not let the spirit beast take a step forward!
A few hours passed......
The monks downstairs in the city are still desperately resisting!
At this time.
More than half of the human monks have been killed or wounded, but they are still gritting their teeth and struggling to support themselves. Because behind them is their home, and there are parents and wives at home, even if they die in battle, they can't let these spirit beasts cross the thunder pool!
City Lord: If this continues, the monks in Jinyang City will be killed and wounded!
One of the monks that Dewey had brought with him said to Dewey.
Damn! Why haven't you come yet!
Dewey roared!
It's been hours since he sent people out of the city lord's order!
It's time to calculate the time!
I guess reinforcements are coming!
Right now!
Suddenly there were countless sounds of birds chirping in the sky!
Here it comes!
Dewey said with a smile when he saw the countless birds in the sky.
I saw those birds swoop down and land on the ground outside the city walls, and countless monks participated in the battle!
Dozens of birds landed on the city.
About fifty monks from the realm of life and death fell from the sky and bowed respectfully to Dewey: "City Lord, I'll come to help!"
After this beast tide is over, I will definitely tell the head of the Shangguan family and give you a credit! Dewey said with a smile to the more than fifty people.
The more than 50 people immediately thanked excitedly.
After all, this Southern Regions is the world of the Shangguan family, and if the Shangguan family can remember it, it will be very beneficial to the development of their family or sect in the future!
At this moment, with the addition of these families or sects, the number of human cultivators is much more than that of spirit beasts!
Form is finally good for humanity!
......
The hundreds of thousands of spirit beasts below, after a while, more than half of them died!
Oh...!
At this moment, a loud roar from the Chuyun Mountain Range rang out.
After hearing this roar, the remaining more than 50,000 Sijie spirit beasts gave up the battle and quickly retreated with their huge bodies.
Just when the monks under the castle wanted to catch up.
Dewey's loud voice rang out.
When the monk downstairs heard Dewey's voice, he instantly stopped.
However, the crowd had not yet had time to celebrate the victory!
Dozens of very powerful auras came from the direction of the Chuyun Mountain Range again!
