Chapter 12 Tired
Karu stood on the city wall, looking at the flag dancing violently in the night wind, his eyes a little distracted.
Looking at the densely packed soldiers like him on the city wall, seeing bloodthirsty and calmness in the eyes of the veterans, and panic and nervousness in the eyes of the new recruits, then... what about himself, he twitched his stiff mouth, wanting to laugh, but he couldn't laugh.
Because the gathering was too sudden and after a day of training, many people were disheveled in armor and their faces were full of fatigue.
After a while, I heard the flag officer in the distance shouting: "The general is here!"
The soldiers were shocked and their slightly bent bodies were also lifted up because of their fatigue.
The torches burned, reflecting a person like ghosts, armor, shields, spears, battlements of the city walls, tinder oil, rolling wood, rocks, and forage. All of these, all stood silently... as if waiting for the arrival of a storm.
Xiuluo slowly walked up the city wall, walked past the neatly arranged soldiers, all the way to the square platform above the city gate, staring at the dark darkness in the distance.
Is it finally here? I'm waiting, I'm waiting.
After looking for a while, he turned around and looked at the soldiers with sword armor. He saw various expressions. Although hidden in the night, he could notice the details of each soldier, fear, panic, calm, bloodthirsty, confusion, and firmness...
He cleared his throat, pulled out his heavy sword, raised it high above his head, and the light of the torch shone in his brown pupils, becoming more and more intense.
"Tonight is the night of the death battle. I, Xiuluo, here I swore that people are in the city, and people are not in the city, and the snow will survive and die. Only because of this, the soldiers will have the confidence to defeat the enemy!"
"Yes!" The soldiers in the city wall responded with a loud voice, and the whole city was filled with noise.
This murderous aura that spreads not only makes the veterans more aggressive in fighting, but also the nervous and confused new recruits seem to have found the source of their strength.
Xiuluo waved his hand: "Call the logistics team to kill pigs and sheep, and fill the sergeants with their stomachs!"
The soldiers were practicing for a day and had not eaten dinner yet. When they heard this, they cheered again.
Soon, the steaming pork, beef and mutton were delivered. Xiuluo also sent someone to give him a drink, each of whom gave him a bowl. To stimulate morale, the soldiers were full and drunk, and the whole army was on standby.
At a period of time in each pavilion, scouts will come up to report the details of the enemy.
"Report to the general that the enemy is fifty miles away from the city, with an unknown number. There are at least 5,000 people."
"Report to the general that the enemy is thirty miles away from the city, with a number of about 8,000."
"Report to the general that the enemy is ten miles away from the city..."
The scout ran in a hurry and reported three times in half an hour.
This speed of action by the enemy is frightening.
Just as the scout reported that the enemy was ten miles away, Xiuluo had already felt the vibration of the ground.
Several officers rushed up the city wall.
"General, the lower officials have informed the four gates, the trench is covered with tincture oil, and the entire army is on standby."
The drums of war sounded quickly, and it was already dark at this time. But there were torches on the entire city wall of Senxue City, and the light was like a giant dragon lying around the city.
The darkness that was far away from the city gradually surged with huge fluctuations, like a huge beast's mouth that opened in the darkness.
The soldiers were still stunned.
The wave-like black ones surged overwhelmed.
"Arrowman, angularly upwards forty-five degrees, launch!"
The commander was roaring with flags.
A buzzing moment!
The locust-like flowing arrow rushed into the sky and disappeared in the night. After a while, a jingle sound was heard.
The black waves stopped and leaped across the trench and rolled to the foot of the city wall.
Xiuluo picked up the strong bow and hit a rocket. With a flash, the rocket flashed and fell into the trench. A ball of flame rose into the sky. Then the flames spurted and rushed out along the long trench. It quickly became a thirty-mile-long fire dragon.
The black waves that were rushing forward one after another finally became scattered because of this fire dragon.
The waves bloom, and countless black dots are divided into waves.
Under the reflection of the fire dragon, the sharp-eyed man saw the hideous faces in the flames.
He is covered with scales and is doing evil deeds.
"That's... the devil!"
A burst of exclamations came from the military group.
Then the scream was replaced by a scream, and an officer roared: "Be afraid of the enemy in front of the formation, disturb the morale of the army, and kill!"
A bloody head was thrown out, rolling around, and the soldiers on the city wall were suffocated.
Xiuluo didn't say anything, he allowed the officer to do it.
This battle is too important, and there are many new recruits on the city wall. Once it causes a mutiny, it is unimaginable, so you must use bloody means to shock the submission!”
The fire dragon was burning, and the sea soldiers who fell into their throats let out a sharp scream, and their bodies were ignited with fire and rolling in the flames. The city was filled with joy and morale was greatly boosted.
However, the cheers instantly solidified again. The fire-burning sea tribes had strong vitality and they struggled to climb out of the big trench that was twenty meters wide, and rushed towards the city wall like balls of fire.
This situation was so shrill that the bravest soldier had a numb scalp.
They are so brave!
The fire dragon could not scare the retreating sea clan at all. The sea clan behind rushed into the sea of fire without stopping, stepped on the bodies of similar corpses in the trenches, jumped across the trenches, and launched a charge.
The soldiers on the city wall all looked pale.
Xiuluo raised his sword and waved it hard, roaring: "Switch to rockets and shoot them to death!"
Arrows like rain of fire flew down the city.
The magician was not willing to be outdone and kept activateing fire magic below.
It was originally a cold night, but the surroundings were distorted by the high temperature.
The burning sea clans who were caught in the arrow would not stop moving forward as long as they had a breath. They were simply a group of psychopaths who were unconscious and knew only about destruction and killing.
The sea tribes who came to the city, used their sharp hands and feet to pierce the city wall and kept climbing upwards.
The soldiers were also red at this time, fearing, but if they wanted to let these demons climb the city wall, would they still have their lives? The fathers and brothers in the city, wives and children still have their lives? When they thought of this, they all put their strength to push the rolling stones down, poured wood, and poured hot oil down. The rockets shot up, and the hot oil burned against the city wall.
The sea clans, shaped like ghosts, moved rapidly on the city walls burning with flames, but the city walls were densely packed with people, and the falling rocks and rolling wood was hard to guard against. The sea clans were constantly smashed down from the city walls and fell on the ground, gradually turning into a ball of black scorched carbon in the blazing fire.
Such offense and defense lasted for several hours. There was a burnt corpse under the city wall that could not be seen clearly, and the air emitted an unpleasant smell of stinky meat.
The sea clan army still rushed forward as if it would not be cut off.
The wood and rolling stones were mostly consumed.
Xiuluo knew that a more tragic battle was coming.
Sure enough, a few shrill screams came from the city wall.
Several soldiers dragged their bloody tails and fell from the city head with their forehands. Next was the third and fourth... A group of sea clans, which were still burning with flames, climbed up the city wall and threw the soldiers continuously. Finally, under the siege of more than a dozen soldiers, the sea clan soldier fell down unwillingly.
Xiuluo looked around and ordered: "Shield player, shield formation, and spearmen behind him, block them!"
At this time, a sea clan happened to jump onto the top of the city. Before he could stand firm, the blood was splashing. Xiuluo had already penetrated his belly. The sea clan was covered with scales and armor, and it was invulnerable to swords and guns. Only a piece of white skin on his abdomen was relatively soft. Xiuluo kicked the sea clan, and the sea clan threw blood and rolled down the city wall.
Shield players stepped forward one after another.
The three-meter-long shield is connected together and a steel line of defense is built directly on the city wall.
The spearman stood behind the shield and poked the spear out of the hole on the shield.
Once a sea clan climbs up the city wall, seven or eight spears will be stabbed together!
Even if the sea tribe is smart and strong, it will be pierced by a spear. If a soldier rolls the burning bottle out of the gap under the shield, the city walls are also full of fire, and the war is rolling...
There is no more rolling wood and beating stones.
More and more sea clans rushed to the city wall...
Karu was holding a shield tightly, his eyes were red and his breath was swift.
His arm had swollen in a circle, and the continuous impact made the giant shield sink in many places. Every impact hit him like a giant hammer.
But at this time he no longer cared about being afraid.
He saw the demons covered in scales and ferocious faces, and easily tore up the corpses of his companions.
Once these vicious devils are allowed to break through the defense line, death will come.
At this moment, I tried my best to resist, without any noble feelings, no great sentiment, and only had a humble thought, which was to live.
Chapter completed!
