Chapter 27 Erqi: Has the door of hell closed or opened?
War drums beat and trumpets sound.
Bows and arrows, spearmen, swords and shields...the three armies obeyed the order, and the crossbows on the walls and the city were full of bows and strings.
"Far attack——"
The guard on the tower shouted loudly.
That was the voice of the commander of the Zhenbei Army.
Li Sui'an immediately felt the sound of organic valves vibrating from the tall city tower. Several muzzles were opened outside the city wall, and a city-defending cannon was pushed out. The cannon body was more than ten meters long, and the barrel was as wide as a meter. There were inscriptions on it.
There are densely packed runes.
As a little red light gathered, it got bigger and bigger, and finally came out.
The entire city wall was shaking, and huge surging fireballs dragged blazing flames, lighting up the night sky, and crashed into the black tide.
"Boom boom boom——"
Large swathes of monsters were blown away in the flames.
Each fireball can spread dozens of meters in radius, but there are too many demons and ghosts, overwhelming them.
"Oh my god, is this the door to hell that has closed and opened?"
It's like the end of the world. God knows how many more corpses are hiding in the wilderness.
Normally, these people had never seen monsters and ghosts in the wilderness, so they were shocked to see so many people gathering at once, which was really shocking.
"Buzz~"
Green lights flying all over the sky swarmed in.
Even though he knew that the Soul Tower would actively absorb these remnant souls, Li Sui'an was still in a daze from the impact.
He finally knew where those flickering green lights from the previous two nights came from.
Compared to when I was huddled in the inner city, the distance was too far, so I didn't collect much green light.
At this time, when you are immersed in the scene, the green light is really overwhelming.
From his perspective, every time a fireball explodes, a large green light rises.
Li Sui'an also felt that his eyebrows were a little warm, as if something was about to break open his forehead, which made him feel uneasy.
This is a phenomenon that has never happened before.
He hurriedly took a few steps back, thinking silently in his mind, and opened the properties panel.
On one side of the virtual light curtain, the virtual shadow of the three-story stone tower is also undergoing drastic changes.
In the first floor of the Soul Tower, there was originally only a thin layer of green light, but it was growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The green light was like water, rolling up a huge vortex, and something seemed to be emerging in the center of the vortex.
…
The black tide outside the city covered the sky. Inside the black tide, the monsters' strength and speed increased greatly. They roared crazily and ran wildly.
Under the bombardment of artillery fire, we rushed closer and closer, and we could already see the ferocious head of the demon.
Even more are the huge number of ghouls, which account for more than 90%. The rest include faster corpse dogs, spider-shaped white ghosts, predators, rogues, devourers, howling ghosts, tearers...
...quickly rushed to the city wall to follow.
"Archers prepare!"
The archers in the back row began to advance forward, drawing their bows and setting arrows.
"Huhu——"
The cold wind blew against my face, dyeing most of the brazier green.
Seeing such an intrusive scene, even if you know that the city wall is so tall that demons and ghosts cannot climb up, you can't help but feel a little worried.
"volley!"
Buzz!
Arrows rained down, row after row, which was much more shocking than the special effects in a movie.
The arrows shot by powerful warriors with powerful bows are as powerful as sniper bullets. However, the attack effect is far worse than that of cannons.
If the attack fails to hit the vital point, even if the body of the demon is covered with arrows, it will still move unimpeded and rush forward without fear of life or death or injury.
He hit the thick city wall with a "bang", hitting his head on the ground and bleeding. Only a few wisps of dust were scattered on the city wall.
The archers rotate in rows and shoot at the demon's head at the nearest location, greatly increasing the lethality.
More and more green remnant souls gathered towards Li Sui'an.
The vortex in the first floor of the Soul Tower got bigger and bigger, gradually sprouting out a few buds, stretching out a few young leaves, gradually growing up, forming buds, blooming, and finally bloomed into an eight-petaled black lotus that was about to bloom.
appearance.
The green light seems to be lacking some energy.
"Brother Li, keep your spirits up and don't be distracted."
Beside him, Mu Zhou saw that Li Sui'an was distracted and pushed him to cheer him up.
Li Sui'an came to his senses in a daze, "I'm fine."
He forced himself to ignore the green light in the sky and focus on the battlefield again.
Monsters and ghosts ran into the city wall one after another and were sniped at close range by archers, resulting in heavy casualties.
Siege of a city does not just require bravery and fear of death.
In ancient times, if you wanted to attack a city by force, you would often need ten times more officers and soldiers to defend the city.
Just like the demons and ghosts who are running amok without any formation or strategy, even if more people come, Kunpeng City will still be safe and sound... right?
Still don't be careless.
With the help of the light from the heart lamp, one could vaguely see the corpses piled higher and higher in front of the tall city wall, gradually forming a sloping mountain of corpses.
Countless demons and ghosts rushed up, stepping on the corpses of their kind, and then were shot to death, becoming the next bricks in the mountain of corpses.
One after another, the demons and ghosts behind them didn't even wait for the demons and ghosts in front of them to die, and immediately stepped on their bodies and began to actively stack Arhats on top of each other, forming a huge corpse ladder and rushing upwards.
The section of the city wall guarded by Li Sui'an and others is not the main frontal battlefield, that's all.
One can imagine what kind of impact they would encounter on the frontal battlefield.
"Get ready for battle!"
High-pitched orders came one after another, making everyone nervous.
"The warrior comes forward and engages in close combat!"
"Melee combat!"
Li Sui'an followed the crowd and was pushed to the front of the city wall.
An undeveloped demon ghost with four eyes, walking on all fours, half-animal, half-human form, with a huge body over two meters high is working hard to climb the city wall.
These city walls have long been splashed with water and a thick layer of ice has condensed on them. On such a cold night, the ice surface is as hard as solid iron, making it even more difficult to climb the walls.
However, this half-beast monster ghost's claws were like hooks, and the smooth and hard ice surface was still as smooth as the ground. It grabbed and crawled a few times, and jumped directly to the city wall.
A group of warriors surrounded it, all attacked, and chopped it into pieces with random swords.
At the moment of life and death, no one dares to hold back.
Another demon rushed up like lightning.
There are strings of dried human head beads hanging around its neck. Its old face is full of sorrow, its head is bald, and there are a few fragrant scars in the middle. The most eye-catching thing is that there are two ghost horns on the left and right sides of the forehead.
Majestic.
The demon ghost looks like a shriveled old monk, but is three meters tall. The thick ghost energy spreads out like a substance around its body.
There are hideous bone spurs on the rickety back, and a barbed coccyx grows from the tail vertebrae.
[The deceased: a third-level demon ghost, with a senior monk from Longxiang Temple in front of him. After death, the corpse changed into a ghost. It wandered on the Plain of Bones for countless years, and finally evolved into a third-level demon ghost, and recovered some of its identity.
Pre-memory ability, transformed into the deceased.】
A text bubble appeared on the demon's head.
Li Sui'an swallowed and stopped Lin Qing who was about to rush forward.
"This is a third-level demon that is invincible. Call for support quickly."
Mu Zhou glanced at him curiously, how could he tell at a glance that it belonged to a third-level demon?
The sounding arrow was fired, and a column of fireworks shot straight into the sky.
Then at this time, fireworks were exploding everywhere in the sky, and calls for support were being made everywhere. The strong ones were also helpless and could only rely on themselves.
"Dangdangdang~"
The assistance was not indifferent, and the Dharma bell was rung again.
It spread like a real sound wave, suppressing the black energy steaming from the demons and ghosts in all directions.
"Roar~"
The deceased put his hands together, and a black swastika wave appeared in front of him, rushing straight in all directions.
The few people closest to him were the first to be hit. They suddenly felt dizzy, and their minds were dim and unable to concentrate. The deceased rushed over in an instant, opening his mouth full of jagged fangs, and directly knocked out a warrior. The whole head of the man was bitten into his mouth, and with a fierce bite, the man's head was completely torn off, and blood spurted out three feet high like a fountain.
It turned around and swept across all directions with its long tail like a whip. Several people were unable to dodge and were thrown directly away, falling into the darkness under the city wall without even letting out a scream.
Such a ferocious power makes the people around him fearful.
No matter how much the night watchmen scolded them, they all retreated and did not dare to come forward.
"kill!"
"Everyone come forward together, or you will all die!"
Someone shouted, and immediately several knowledgeable people came out.
"Quick victory!"
Mu Zhou did his duty, and the blood-red sword that had been prepared for a long time swept across a space of more than ten meters, aiming to strike at the deceased first.
