Chapter 51: The Battle of the City

The journey can almost be described as lightning-fast.

In order to save time, Qin Chen flew over the wall and crossed the wall. Huihui only felt the scenery in front of her in Qin Chen's arms, and she didn't know where she was there.

Fortunately, now that the news of the demon beast attacking the city has come, everyone is busy fleeing for their lives, even if they find out, as long as they don't take advantage of the fire to rob, they will go with him.

Out of the martial arts area and approaching the noble area, what he saw in front of him made Qin Chen extremely indignant.

I saw that the streets were occupied by luxurious carriages, and the streets in front of the mansions were full of boxes filled with jewelry, goods, grain, etc., and the guards with extraordinary skills were busy loading, and those commanders who were commanding in front of the lords and the like looked like they were thinking of escaping.

Sure enough, these are the biggest moths in Qingyuan County, they have lived in the city for so many years, how much benefit they have obtained, and now they are in a high position, and the ancestral city is in trouble, the first thing to think about is not to defend against foreign enemies, but to escape, it is simply inferior to beasts.

To tell the truth, the aristocratic district is the largest force area in Qingyuan County, although the number of warriors is not as good as the warrior district, but every household has some strong guards, and the number is not a few, the warriors of the entire aristocratic district get together, it is also a not weak combat force, even if the remaining guards are not the opponents of demon beasts, but it is more than enough to deal with some ordinary beasts.

Now it is the demon beast attacking the city, far from the time when individual courage can be used to control the situation of the battle, the more people, the better, but now all they want is to ensure that their interests are not harmed, how can this not make Qin Chen feel angry.

Having said that, Qin Chen had no right to control them, so he had no choice but not to see them, out of sight and out of mind.

After galloping all the way, they soon arrived at the county guard's mansion.

This county guard mansion made Qin Chen much satisfied. At least there is no such mess.

Walking into the courtyard, I found that Luo Shiping was giving some money to some maids, and after each maid received the money, she bowed to Luo Shiping and left with her baggage.

Seeing Qin Chen coming over, Luo Shiping handed over the work to a person who looked like a housekeeper, and walked over to Qin Chen by himself.

"I didn't expect that Luo Gongzi was such a loving and righteous person, very different from those giant businessmen and predators, and he thought of these maids at such a critical moment, Qin admired. Qin Chen's words are sincere. is definitely from the bottom of my heart, there are too few noble sons like Luo Shiping in the world.

Luo Shiping hurriedly shook his head, "Brother Qin killed me, now that the demon beast is attacking the city, even my father is not completely sure that he can defend the city, and he has already greeted Zai Xia before going to the city gate, if the city is broken, he will immediately flee with his brother, Luo Mou thinks that he can't take away this money." It's better to give it to these subordinates, so that after escaping with their lives, they won't worry about their livelihood. ”

"Aren't you even sure that the county guard is completely sure?" Qin Chen frowned, "Now the demon beast is coming. Qin is not one of those villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death, so he naturally has to do his best, but it is inconvenient to take Huihui, so he entrusted her to Brother Luo. If something happens to Qin, I hope that Brother Luo can escape with his sister. ”

Luo Shiping took Huihui, "Of course there is no problem." The younger brother also has the strength of the triple body refining realm, and there is no problem when he leaves with the two children. ”

Huihui also knew that this was an extraordinary time, not a time to mess around, so she didn't refuse, tears swirled in her little eyes, but she endured it and didn't let it fall.

At this moment, a dog barking sound, a snow-white cute puppy ran over from behind, Qin Chen almost forgot Qin Bai's existence, immediately picked up Qin Bai, put it in Huihui's arms, and then galloped away without turning his head.

Luo Shiping sighed lightly, Qin Chen is more auspicious this time! He glanced at Huihui, "If you want to cry, cry, it's uncomfortable to hold it in your heart, it's much more comfortable to cry." ”

Huihui finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Brother." Immediately burst into tears, and Qin Bai in his arms seemed to understand something at this time, and he also screamed. And Luo Shi'an, who was sleeping soundly on the side, was also woken up and cried. Luo Shiping was dumbfounded in an instant, and he didn't know what to do.

While running, Qin Chen seemed to hear Huihui's cry, but he only regarded it as an illusion and didn't care.

Qin Chen didn't have much hope for this battle, and I believe that Luo Ye didn't have any hope either, all they had to do was to provide time for the evacuation of the people.

Qin Chen also knew that the battle to defend the city this time was extremely thrilling, so he set a goal for himself, if the strongest was only a ninth-level demon beast, he must defend it until the last moment, if there was a demon beast king in the spirit realm, he would flee immediately without saying a word.

Alas, Qin Chen felt that although he was not a bad person, he was not a pure good person, if his thoughts were a little firmer, he would have run away with Huihui a long time ago, but he couldn't let go of the villagers of the original mountain village, after all, he had lived for more than a year, no matter what, he had to let them escape.

Qin Chen thought of a lot along the way, thought of Huihui, thought of grandpa, thought of the ruined fairy palace, thought of his father who was far away in Shenzhou, and that damn brother Sun Fatzi, for some reason, Qin Chen thought of the two familiar figures in the dream, in fact, Qin Chen had already known that he was not Professor Qin's son, if he guessed correctly, this should be his parents, maybe?

Shaking his head, Qin Chen expelled these distracting thoughts, now is not the time to think about these, he has to cheer up his spirit.

Along the way, he saw soldiers in a hurry, cultivating to uneven martial artists, Qin Chen was full of confidence in this battle to defend the city, as long as everyone worked together, they would definitely be able to defend it.

Coming to the south city gate, Qin Chen sighed lightly, the reason was that Qin Chen found that the south city gate was completely blocked, and it was blocked tightly by various clods of soil mixed with stones, Qin Chen suspected that this should have been prepared a long time ago.

Went straight to the entrance of the city tower, and on the city wall, Qin Chen saw the Luo County Guard, only to see that this Luo County Guard was wearing a pitch-black armor and holding a wide big knife, and was giving orders.

Seeing Qin Chen coming here, he asked the adjutant beside him to give an order, and walked over to Qin Chen, "Brother Qin, you are finally here, you can finally relax for a while." ”

"The county guard. How's it going?"

Luo Ye sighed lightly, "There is news from the sentinels in front, the beast tide is coming, the scale is not small, alas, this is not what I am worried about, you see, the warriors on the city wall are all low-level and middle-level warriors, and there are very few high-level warriors, and we are at a disadvantage against those high-level demon beasts." ”

Qin Chen looked around. On the nearly twenty-mile city wall, except for those marginal areas, there are indeed few high-level existences around this city gate tower. The Fuya Auction House, the Hundred Medicine Hall, and the Heavenly Soldier Cave that I just saw just now, there is no one in these powerful forces.

In addition to a bitter smile, there is only a bitter smile.

Qin Chen clenched his fists and said: "Luo Junshou, we shouldn't have put our hope on those great forces, they are not the strength of my Chen State." At the critical moment, we have to rely on ourselves, if we have a place where we Qin, even if we are instructed, we will definitely not be dishonored. ”

Luo Junshou sighed. "Okay, now that a combat power is also combat power, let's ask Brother Qin to sit on the right side, what's going on?" Luo Ye, who was still low in momentum just now, suddenly shouted in surprise.

This should not be surprising. It turned out that Qin Chen released the breath of his whole body, and Luo Ye was a little out of shape when he was surprised.

Qin Chen also had his own considerations for doing this, first of all, it was useless to hide his combat power now. Immediately fighting against the demon beasts must be fully combative, and now the morale of the people defending the city is low, and this is actually a shot of strength for them, so that they know that their side has the existence of the ninefold body refining realm, and the morale is up, and it is not impossible to leapfrog the combat power.

Luo Ye felt Qin Chen's breath and his eyes lit up, he originally thought that he was just a martial artist of the same level as himself, but he didn't expect it to be a martial artist of the Nine Layers of the Body Refining Realm, Ha Luha, there is hope for this battle.

After Qin Chen put away his breath, Luo Ye Ha laughed, "I didn't expect that Brother Qin also concealed his cultivation, this surprised my old Luo!

"Don't be afraid. A loud and neat voice came.

"Bullshit, I'm afraid, how can you not be afraid? But remember for me, the back is our home, killing one is enough, killing two is profitable, do you hear clearly?"

"Hear me clearly. ”

Luo Ye shouted in his voice: "That's not what Lao Tzu asked, come, shout Lao Tzu's words again." ”

"Killing one is enough, killing two is profitable. ”

Luo Ye nodded with satisfaction, after the morale was pulled up, the next thing was very simple, everything he could did was done, and then it was up to heaven to arrange.

The words are not rough. This is Qin Chen's evaluation of Luo Ye.

Qin Chen was a little surprised that Luo Ye had been a member of the Armor Breaking Army.

Qin Chen, the great name of the Armor-Breaking Army, had heard of it, this was an army organized by all martial artists, and it was regarded as the peak combat power of the entire Chen State.

However, this has nothing to do with Qin Chen, and now defending the city is the first priority.

When he knew that Qin Chen was a martial artist of the Nine Refinement Realm, of course Luo Ye would not let him guard such a small place anymore, which was a great waste of resources.

Although the southern city wall of Qingyuan County is twenty miles long, what really needs to be guarded is the range of two or three miles around the city gate tower, and the other places are all twenty meters high city walls, and they are all built of bluestone, which is extremely strong. As long as you hold these two or three miles, you will have no worries.

After waiting for less than a moment, a sound came, and the demon beast came, kicking off the prelude to this war.

Qin Chen was guarding a key position, facing Luo Junshou across the building, and after hearing this voice, Qin Chen hurriedly looked ahead.

Even with Qin Chen's concentration, he was taken aback by the scene in front of him.

Because it is a large military city, there is not a single tree within a kilometer to the south of the city, and it is bare, but a kilometer away, there is a slightly dense grove, and a straight avenue extends to the depths of the grove. Qin Chen originally came to Qingyuan County through this avenue.

But what did you see?

I saw one beast after another slowly walking out of this grove, wild wolves, big insects, brown bears, apes densely packed, almost across the entire grove, Qin Chen didn't know where the road had gone, if these beasts usually got together, they would have to be turned upside down, but now they are all neat and decent.

When the beasts came to a distance of only a hundred meters from the city wall, they stopped with a roar. Then almost all the beasts were crowded together, across the entire southern city wall, and at this time, those protagonists also appeared, only to see thousands of demon beasts coming out of the grove, this is not those low-level demon beasts the day before yesterday, the breath of several of them, even Qin Chen felt a little tricky.

By this time all the people on the wall had their hearts in their throats, the archers had raised their arrows, the trebuchets were ready, and the men and horses had raised their swords in their hands.

And the group of beasts outside the wall was also as quiet as usual, but some of the irascible ones all scraped their claws on the ground, and the demon beasts surrounded several ninth-level demon beasts.

The battlefield was silent, except for the sound of the howling of the wind.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

"Woo, woo, woo" The ninth-level demon beasts let out a beastly roar, and the war began.

The unfettered beast was like a wild horse on the loose, and its mouth made all kinds of sounds, thinking of rushing to the city gate. The limbs hit the dirt, and there was nothing, but the shock caused by these thousands was terrifying, and even the earth trembled and dust splattered.

Ninety meters, eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters, fifty meters, forty meters, when he reached forty meters, Luo Ye finally gave the order, "The archers shoot me, and the trebuchets smash me hard." ”

With an order, the rain of arrows in the sky fell along with the way of projectile, so many archers, even Qin Chen felt a little frightened, Qin Chen looked back, only to find that the houses and open spaces near the city gate in the city were full of people wearing civilian clothes, if Qin Chen guessed correctly, these were all hunters in the nearby mountains. The rain of arrows was endless, and the beasts fell in batches, the ones in front fell, and the ones behind rushed up without noticing, killing and wounding countless people, but these beasts were all rough and thick-skinned, so there were very few deaths, most of them were injured.

Compared to the rain of arrows, trebuchets are more destructive. I saw that one by one, like ordinary bench-sized stones, drew a graceful parabola and rushed into the beast group, bringing a small piece of beast away, and with inertia, the stone slid forward for dozens of meters, causing some damage to the beast.

Despite their sharp weapons, the beasts came under the walls, and they frantically slapped the walls with their claws, stomping on one end and the other, and surging towards the walls. With another order, barrels of fire oil were poured down, and the walls around the entire city gate tower instantly became slippery. As the torches were thrown down, the following suddenly turned into a sea of fire.

Hundreds of beasts wailed in the sea of fire, surging in all directions, causing great damage to the beasts around them, and the fire-fearing nature of the beasts made them flee in all directions, although there were demon beasts in the rear, but it did not work.

At the beginning, the human side won a big victory, but Luo Ye's expression was not relaxed at all, arrows, stones, and fire oil were not endless. Moreover, those archers also need to rest, they can only shoot five or six arrows at a time each, which is already their limit.

As the fire on the human side waned, the beasts went berserk, piling up corpses under the walls, and in a few moments they would reach the top of the walls.

Eventually, the rain of arrows was gone, the trebuchets were dumb, the oil was gone, and the beasts went crazy.

Misfortunes followed: it was completely dark. (To be continued......)

PS: At six o'clock, the network was suddenly disconnected, I thought it would be with the new, but I didn't expect the net to come again just now, it seems that God really favors us people.
