It was still early when Hong Fan left the Martial Arts Academy.

There are not many pedestrians on the long street.

Since yesterday, Jinhaicheng has been running like a clockwork machine.

The rover spread out into the surrounding countryside, spreading the message of the beacon to every corner.

Many farmers and hunters gathered in the city and turned into a force.

From north to south, every household is strengthening the walls of the houses and courtyards.

The old people sharpened their knives, while the adults took out the sword wrapped in the hay under the bed and handed it to half a young man.

Through the alley, Hong Fan's ears could still hear the instructions from the partition walls.

"It's best to poke the mouth and eyes."

"The second is to chop the armpit."

"If it really doesn't work, go to your belly, the scales there are soft and thin."

"Dad wants to go to the city, so stay at home to protect your mother..."

The subsequent response was ignorant and childish. Hong Fan accelerated his pace.

The Hong Mansion is also deserted.

Aunt Liu in Asahi Courtyard was packing up her things with peach red and willow green.

According to convention, these women would move to the ancestral halls to live in the wartime - the snake people were good at climbing walls, and they often slipped in scattered cities when siege.

As for the unknown person, Tang Da Ge, who was a reserve team in the clan, was gathering in the martial arts field.

Hong Fan went back to the room, fetched water and rinsed it, and changed into a clean set of clothes.

He crossed his legs and went to the head of the bed, trying to meditate on the Chong acupoint, but he couldn't calm down.

Once your eyes are closed, the dense snake people in the oasis, like earthworms, always appear before your eyes.

After repeating for half a quarter of an hour, Hong Fan got out of bed and wanted to look for people in the yard to say something.

However, after entering the yard, he saw the two little ladies who were adapting to the feel of the hatchet under Aunt Liu's guidance. He felt that the few instructions in his throat were really light and not worth mentioning.

So Hong Fan simply went out and went straight to Beicheng.

There are seven horse roads on the inner side of Jinhai City’s wall.

The slope is twenty degrees and the width is six meters. Its height is flush with the sea wall on the top of the city, which makes it convenient for cavalry to mount horses to the city during wartime to sweep away the enemy.

At this time, the horse road was filled with people.

They were assembling crossbows under the guidance of the artifact supervisor.

There are no chemical composite materials in this world, so you can only make bows with natural materials.

The bow string is generally silk, while the bow arms are wood, horns, bovine tendons (strings), etc.

These things are valuable, and keeping them tight in the cold winter and low temperatures will damage their lifespan; therefore, in late autumn, the instrument supervisor splits them into the warehouse.

Now we naturally need to work overtime to recover.

Hong Fan stepped onto the horse road and went to the city amid the soldiers' greetings one after another.

The city is even more busy.

The brazier set up every ten meters has been laid out.

Under the female wall facing north, a pair of blades were placed horizontally, and short axes similar to rakes were placed at intervals.

Hong Fan recognized this thing - called the Fiber Axe, which was specially used to cut off the hands (claws) that were put up.

More auxiliary soldiers are applying oil to spare weapons such as swords, axes, spears, and concentrated on the back of the sea wall.

The snake scales are like armor, and even if the Baipi Blade cuts and kills it several times, it will have a gap.

According to Hongcheng, it is ordinary for a fierce general to use six or seven weapons in a single battle.

But whether it is a hand-filled axe or the rest of the arrangement, it can only be regarded as a gadget in this city.

Tens of meters away, Hong Fan saw Qian Hong with his back facing him.

He was commanding his subordinates to connect the yaksha mat and wolf teeth to the iron chain hinge to test the retraction and release.

On the city tower further away, Wen Zhongguan bent down to check the crossbow and tinkered with another larger unknown device.

The clouds are high and far away.

The four fields are wide, and the city walls are even smaller.

However, Hong Fan looked at the people in the city and listened to the clamoring of enthusiasm, but felt that the things made of rammed earth and bricks under his feet were more indestructible than the mountains.

He stood there for a moment, suddenly feeling at ease.

Then he rolled up his sleeves, carried the arms, and brought in the flow of people.

······

On March 19th, Shen Times (3:00 pm) was not long after.

The clear sky is as clear as a blue sky, and you can see through thousands of miles at a glance.

Jinhai City is closed with four gates, like a giant beast on the ground.

The city wall is armor, and the flags are erected upside down.

The spears of thousands of soldiers who were in a forest on the sea wall were their minions.

The enemy is two miles away.

Six thousand snakes lined up dense arrays, forming a dark color between the blue sky and the yellow ground.

Hong Fan stood on a city tower.

Beside him was a stringed crossbow, and behind him was a powerful flag-holding officer from Kong Wu.

In the five or six meters gap, more soldiers were in groups of three, holding heavy shields, strong bows, or guns and axes.

Snake man has no exquisite equipment, but his individual strength is really amazing.

Snake people who have not undergone blood sacrifice generally weigh 400 pounds, and even if they fight with tigers and leopards with bare hands, it is hard to say the outcome.

Human soldiers need to cooperate with three to one to have a considerable winning rate.

Otherwise, if it were three times one-on-one, the snake man would win.

The sun is slightly tilted westward.

The snake people gathered and fluctuated like flowing water, and two giant snakes, which were at least seven or eight feet long, swam out of them.

These two giant snakes held the two snake masters on their heads, and then rose up and raised them into the air.

In this way, the already tall red scales and broken teeth easily gained a height comparable to the city tower and saw the layout on the city head.

Hong Fan could see that they were observing and talking.

This is a very special experience for time travelers.

In the cognition of human beings in another world, they are the only spirit of all things.

Therefore, they are naturally qualified to be self-pretentious, can seek nature with peace of mind, and even say the crazy words "only people can observe themselves by creating the universe."

Hong Fan pressed the city wall, and his heart felt a little unhappy and subtle panic.

It is because wisdom is no longer something that is enjoyed by "people".

At this moment, Chilin issued an order.

A sound that was sharp enough to exceed the upper limit of mortal hearing spreads out from it as the center.

The snake people untied their shields, and since their wings began to turn into a rhythmic tide, moving towards the south.

Their formations gradually change as they move.

Hundreds of meters later, a spread surface about a mile wide was formed, and there were only more than a hundred snake people in each row.

Compared to human infantry, this is extremely sparse.

According to the infantry and military scriptures that Hong Fan learned from Zhu Yiqi, the fifty-man square formation was only fifteen meters after it was unfolded - with the same width, the snake man only arranged three people.

Terrible confidence.

On the top of the main city tower, Hong Cheng watched the enemy vanguard step into within 700 meters and issued an order to the commemorative officer.

No radio, no information link, no fire control.

But information still flows on the high walls in a unique way this era is.

First, the call from the commander, and then the main city tower began. Like a beacon, the red pennant flags were raised high on each city tower, waving left and right.

Finally, the teams of the Bed Crossbow Team "pulled" the trigger with their sledgehammers.

More than ten bed crossbows were placed one after another, shooting at a pre-set elevation angle toward the cover area 700 meters away.

The huge arrow is more than meter long, and the iron leaves are feathers.

After one breath, he arrived at the snake tide, smashed the shield, and penetrated the three-headed snake man to the ground.

But that's all.
