Although the ancient ghost chasing after him was riding a wild boar, his speed was not slow at all, and was even faster than the scout on horseback.
As he was about to reach the city gate, the scout shouted at the top of his lungs: "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly, let me in."
The guards on the city wall looked at the rushing ancient ghosts. Just as they were hesitating whether to open the city gate to let the scouts in, a spear suddenly flew out from among the pursuers.
The spear directly penetrated the scout's body, took him flying off the horse, and was finally nailed to the city gate.
"Blow the horn quickly!"
The officer on the city wall was the first to wake up from the shock. He shouted for the guards to notify other people in the city, and began to direct the artillerymen to attack the charging ancient ghosts.
Although the artillery on the city wall is powerful, the attack interval is slightly longer, and the lethality will be greatly reduced for the highly mobile cavalry.
Therefore, the artilleryman only had time to fire two cannons, and the ancient ghosts had already rushed to the city.
At this time, Liu Hong, the commander of the first battalion, and Qin Yu, the commander of the second battalion, who came after hearing the news, had already led their people to gather in front of the city gate. The two climbed up the city wall and saw the dark ancient ghosts below, with solemn expressions on their faces.
look.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The ancient ghosts that had rushed to the city caused the wild boars to smash into the city wall with their bodies. The city wall, which had only been repaired for a few days, began to tremble violently. If this continued, there would be a risk of the city wall collapsing.
At this time, a soldier looked down, but as soon as he looked up, a spear penetrated his head directly, which frightened several other soldiers and quickly retracted.
Liu Hong walked to the body of the soldier whose head was shot and pulled out the spear.
Different from the weapons used by the ancient ghosts in the previous two times, the spearhead of this spear is actually made of metal and is very sharp.
A group of ancient ghosts using metal weapons, and also have the ability to attack from a distance, doubling their lethality.
"Use kerosene!"
Liu Hong ordered the soldiers on the city wall to pour kerosene down below, and reminded them that spears could only attack in a straight line, and told them never to expose their heads above the city wall.
The soldiers quickly threw dozens of oil cans filled with kerosene that had been prepared long ago from the city wall. After a "crackling" sound, the ground under the city wall was soaked with kerosene.
"Archers set fire!"
"Wait a moment!"
Qin Yu, the commander of the second battalion, was about to order his bow and arrow battalion to fire the decoy rockets, but Liu Hong stopped him.
However, Qin Yu's confidants were all in the bow and arrow camp. How could they listen to Liu Hong's order? They all took out the fire seals and prepared to start the fire.
Seeing that no one in the bow and arrow camp took his words seriously, Liu Hong rushed forward angrily, grabbed the centurion from the bow and arrow camp and yelled: "I told you to wait a moment, didn't you hear?"
Wow…
All the archers turned their heads and aimed their bows and arrows at Liu Hong. Seeing this, Mo Shouchen directly drew his saber and led a battalion to surround the archers.
The two sides were at war with each other, and the smell of gunpowder seemed stronger than the ancient ghosts attacking the city.
"Liu Hong, why did you stop my soldiers from setting fire? Are you going to rebel?" Qin Yu stepped forward and asked.
Liu Hong smiled coldly, grabbed the collar of the Centurion of the Bow and Arrow Battalion with one hand, and pointed to the outside of the city wall with the other hand: "If you light the fire now, it will only burn the ancient ghosts in front. Wait until they all rush up before lighting the fire.
Only then can we kill more enemies!”
Qin Yu snorted disdainfully and said mockingly: "When they all rush up? By then it's not certain whether the city wall can be saved."
"Now the city is full of kerosene and the ground is very slippery. They can't use their strength at all, so there won't be any problems with the city wall for the time being."
After hearing Liu Hong's explanation, the soldiers on the city wall realized that the shaking of the city wall was indeed not as violent as it was at the beginning.
Although Qin Yu also felt that what Liu Hong said was reasonable, he still said stiffly: "The prefect said that I am the supreme commander of the army, and you must report everything to me first!"
Liu Hong's mouth twitched slightly. Although he was dissatisfied, it was obvious that now was not the time to argue.
So he suppressed his anger, pushed away the centurion of the archery camp, and then gritted his teeth and said to Qin Yu: "Captain Qin, please let your archers wait a moment before lighting the fire."
Qin Yu smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and told the centurion of the bow and arrow camp: "Please wait a moment before lighting the fire."
The centurion of the archery battalion glared at Liu Hong angrily, and then ordered the archers to put down their bows and arrows. Mo Shouchen also asked the soldiers of the first battalion to put away their weapons, and the atmosphere temporarily relaxed.
Liu Hong did not care about the disrespect shown to him by the centurion of the Bow and Arrow Battalion. He hid behind the crenellations of the city wall and observed the enemy's situation outside.
When the city wall was crowded with ancient ghosts, he turned to Qin Yu and said, "It's time to light the fire."
Qin Yu nodded to the centurion of the archery camp, and the archers who had been prepared immediately fired the detonating rocket.
In an instant, a raging sea of fire surged under the city wall, drowning all the ancient ghosts below.
The consciousness of these ancient ghosts seems to be only killing, so even if there is a fire in front, they will still rush forward recklessly.
This fire alone killed at least thousands of enemies.
But no one on the city wall showed a relaxed expression, because the fire under the city wall had slowly been extinguished, but there were still enemies rushing up in the canyon.
What was even more frightening was that several huge figures appeared in the distance. Only when they got closer did they see clearly that they were mammoths with tusks.
The height of the mammoth is almost half of the city wall. If these giant beasts collided hard, the city wall would probably be unable to hold it up within a few times.
Qin Yu immediately ordered the archers to attack the mammoth, but the wool on the mammoth's body was so thick that arrows could not penetrate it.
Moreover, the eyes of mammoths and the ancient ghosts riding on their backs are also covered by bone armor, so bows and arrows cannot cause damage.
Seeing the mammoth getting closer and closer, Liu Hong felt extremely anxious.
Originally, he could have ignored it, but the prefect was under pressure and promoted him to captain of thousands. He had to live up to the prefect's trust no matter what.
Liu Hong drew his saber and shouted: "Who dares to go out of the city with me to kill those elephant soldiers?"
"We would like to go together!"
The first to respond were a few soldiers who had been following Liu Hong.
Originally there were nine of them, two of them were killed in the canyon a few days ago, and two more were seriously injured by Xing Tian and are currently being treated.
Looking at the five brothers who had been with him through life and death, Liu Hong's eyes were slightly red. He nodded heavily and said, "Okay, let's go!"
"Let's go too!" Mo Shouchen and Yan Huyi also followed.
Mo Shouchen has the rules and regulations around him, so there is no problem if he wants to protect himself.
Hu Yi has been sleeping most of the time for so many days and accumulated a lot of sleep value just for this final battle.
As long as he adds these sleep values to his physical fitness, his combat power will definitely surpass everyone present.
Originally, Wang Guoqiang wanted to go with him, but Mo Shouchen felt that he was not suitable for fighting outside the city, so he asked him to stay in the city to provide support.
Liu Hong led the people who voluntarily followed him to the corner of the city wall. Just as they were about to put down the rope and leave the city, someone behind him suddenly said: "I will go with you too!"
Mo Shouchen turned around and immediately showed a surprised look, because the person who said these words turned out to be Chen Ying...
