Chapter 709 Drums of War
Wolf smoke was everywhere, and black smoke columns cut through the blue sky in the distance.
The ancient Great Wall fortress is connected to the mountains, and the autumn sun shines warmly on the world. Outside the pass, the northern evil is approaching with gray death. The Great Wall is divided into two worlds, half sunny and half gray.
Twenty red animal skin drums as tall as a man are neatly placed on the high platform of the city wall.
Twenty slender female snake soldiers wearing full armor stood in front of the giant red drum, holding red cloth drumsticks and beating the drum neatly! The sound of the drum was loud!
The movements are as neat as one person, and the posture is heroic and inspiring!
The sound of drums echoes across the wilderness mountains...
The north wind is three thousand miles away, the flags are flying, and the drums are frightening and the mountains are about to collapse.
The sound of the drum was a military order, and the huge military fortress was immediately activated and fully operational. The general shouted loudly at his subordinates to assemble. The soldiers and civilians in the fortress were busy and busy. Groups of soldiers wearing armor and holding swords ran up the city wall with clinking footsteps.
.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
There was no noise and it was very depressing. You could only hear the dull and suppressed clatter of footsteps. Thick spears filled the city wall and turned into hedgehogs. The frost covered the thin clothes. Countless people breathed white air, and a large number of defense equipment had been prepared.
The strong, bare-chested civilians shouted loudly and pulled the catapult in preparation for the projectile.
Bundles of arrows, swords, guns and shields were neatly stacked...
Wearing the official robe of the imperial minister, Zhe Shangshu climbed up to the city gate tower accompanied by other generals. Next to him was a bright red coffin. Everyone could see the old man and his dragon and phoenix longevity materials. The color was bright and dazzling.
He looked up at the battlefield of monks above the nearby mountains. Spells flashed, swords flashed and a fierce battle was going on.
Then he looked back at the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers behind him.
The war drums have not yet stopped, but the smoke is rising.
"Gentlemen, we have no way out, we can only fight to the death."&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Zhe Shangshu did not speak generously, nor did he say anything about the family, the country, and the world. It was enough to say that there was no way to retreat. If the Great Wall was lost and the corpses came in, no one could escape. If you retreat, you will die. If you fight hard, you may still survive.
The generals bowed silently and retreated, returning to their respective defense areas to prepare for the battle. However, Shangshu Zhe thought of the 20,000 people abandoned outside the pass. Perhaps, he would see them for the last time today...
The defenders quickly prepared their defenses. Their spears were as cold as the forest and the front was cold. Hundreds of thousands of troops were waiting in full formation.
The drumming stopped.
It became very quiet after being busy, and there was a black line slowly approaching in the distance.
The atmosphere was depressing. Many young soldiers were so nervous that they could not control themselves and were trembling. They were breathing quickly and felt like there was not enough air. Only the old soldiers who had stayed at the Great Wall for half their lives did not care. Perhaps they thought they were dead after not returning home for a long time. They thought about their relatives when they left home when they were still young.
A memorial tablet has been erected to burn paper to worship during the New Year.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The soldiers of the Han Dynasty are getting old, the bitter wind blows and the loess covers their bones, and the wind, frost, rain and snow cover the mountains in darkness.
The Great Wall Fortress has no romance, heroism or passion. The soldiers work hard to live a boring life, hoping that after death they can return to their hometowns and not be lonely ghosts, and they hope to be peace dogs in the next life.
The defense zone of the snake demon army was the most orderly and solemn, and the indifferent demon soldiers remained motionless, waiting for the enemy.
Qiao Jin looked at the three white bosses around her and felt a headache. The Demon Emperor had not returned for a long time. There were only three indifferent clones to help defend the city. One of them was holding an old thread-bound book...
"I knew that the reason why I was dragged to Southern Wilderness was to be the hands-off shopkeeper."
It's rare for a female general to complain.
The snake demon soldiers were prepared in a tight formation. They did not wave their flags and shout loudly to encourage them like other armies. They were indifferent and calm. They were as quiet and solemn as a giant beast dormant.
The demonic army is getting closer.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Zhe Shangshu took a look with the telescope given by the Snake Demon Army, and his face became more wrinkled.
"Alas... If the country has no good ministers and the army has no good generals, my life is at stake..."
This time, Shangshu Zhe clearly understood why those 30,000 people were defeated without even making a splash, and he more intuitively felt the terror of the demonic army. Indeed, as the defeated soldiers who escaped had said, the previous zombie tides were all fake.
Hundreds of thousands of more violent zombies and monsters form square formations.
Yes, these zombies and monsters will fight in formation, which is more terrifying than the previous zombie tide, which was more chaotic and terrifying than the rotting zombies. This means that they should be treated as an army that is not afraid of death rather than the walking dead.
The strength is much stronger than the massive carrion seen before. The combat power of the carrion is similar to that of the young and strong. However, the zombie in front of me is strong and full of death. Only three or five Central Plains soldiers can win. The martial arts ranger should be able to deal with it. If there is no Great Wall Fortress
There is no way this battle can be fought due to natural hazards.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The tall and rough stone trebuchet was pushed forward slowly, and some kind of mutated zombie as strong as a bear grunted and pushed the instrument forward.
The most deadly thing is that the armor and equipment of the 30,000 soldiers who came out to clear out the rotting corpses were left outside the pass. At this moment, they were covered by zombies, including spears, swords, shields, and even bows and arrows. The already violent zombies were even more powerful with armor.
The wind blew, and the white dry wind swayed wildly, making the old minister's body even more rickety.
He knew clearly that the Yan Kingdom had been at peace for a long time and its military strength was weakened. It was difficult to do anything in the face of terrifying zombies. He was not a peerless commander and did not know much about the art of war. Compared with others, the only thing he could do was the determination to die.
I changed my official hat and thought that even if I died, I would die in a dignified manner.
The demon army approached, and the movement of hundreds of thousands of troops caused the ground to tremble slightly.
There were ripples in the water tanks used to extinguish fires and drinking water in the city, the sound of armor and weapons clashing with metal, scarlet eyes and pale fangs that looked like demons and ghosts, and many allied soldiers were nervous and frightened...&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The sound of clanging footsteps echoed between the two mountains. Five hundred steps away from the fortress, they stopped with a bang and formed a straight line to stare fiercely at the city wall.
The trebuchet occupies a favorable terrain at the front, and the strong monster begins to prepare for the throw!
Suddenly it became quiet again, and there was a forest of terrifying zombies, monsters, and weapons as far as the eye could see. They were ugly, evil, violent, and barbaric, and they were the real army of death.
A bloody battle is about to begin...
In an isolated city in an extremely remote area, the soldiers in iron clothes were half dead in front of the army, and their remaining bodies were building the Great Wall.
The fortress has become desperate and there is no way to retreat. As Zhe Shangshu said, the only way to survive is to fight to the death.
Those tall and strong monsters of the evil demon are loading things into the trebuchet net bags. There is no pre-war nonsense. There is no point in talking nonsense on the life-and-death battlefield.
Shangshu Zhe suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something bad was happening...
"Ouch~!"
The monster screamed and ordered the sling attack!
The long arms of many rough trebuchets were swung violently! Thick black objects were thrown towards the fortress!
On the city wall, many martial arts masters and low-level monks were preparing to intercept and prevent the stones from posing a threat to the defenders. More soldiers raised their shields to protect themselves.
Suddenly! Many masters looked ugly and their bodies became stiff...
Those things thrown into the sky by the evil spirits were not stones, but countless bloody heads of more than 20,000 soldiers who were trapped outside the pass and could not return...
The hideous and ugly zombie who is in charge of commanding the demonic army shows a scary and evil smile with blood-red and white fine fangs.
"Hey, I have a surprise for you~"
Scattered and bloody heads drew an arc and smashed towards the Great Wall Fortress. Countless heads left the net bag and flew into the sky, flying towards their homeland...
They were too scattered, some fell outside the city and some flew over the city wall into the city, causing screams of terror.
Many more hit the city wall, and the blood spattered on the wall bricks, dyeing them red. Many shields fell on the city wall with a clanging sound. The defenders were horrified, and heads fell to their feet and rolled around, timid.
The soldier collapsed on the spot and screamed, retreated and was beheaded by the general with a sword. During the war, shouting and yelling could easily lead to the bombing of the camp, so he must be cold-blooded and ruthless.
Qiao Jin sighed and pulled down his helmet mask.
"Pay attention to gathering friendly forces and prepare to fight!"
The tens of thousands of snake demon soldiers guarding the city wall all pulled down their masks and prepared to fight. What should come will always come, and no matter what the outcome is, they must try their best to survive.
Chapter completed!
