Chapter 299 The replacement that arrived ahead of schedule
When a large number of mountain rats climbed up the city wall, the magicians of the town guard stood back a little, but they were not far from the top of the wall. Gu Zhuangdian had been monitoring the entire western section of the city wall, and when he discovered the situation on Ding Kui's side, he also
It’s too late to save us.?? ?? w?w w?．
?
The captain of the 7th Squadron also noticed the situation here. He did not pick up the bow immediately but reached out to get the wound medicine in the quiver. In his opinion, Ding Kui could not escape the bite.
The magician closest to Ding Kui was the one who had made fun of Lei Feixiang. He happened to see this thrilling scene and was surprised to find that Ding Kui's face was very calm.
After Guzhuangdian allowed everyone to use control magic, Ding Kui became the most leisurely magician on the western section of the city wall. Not only did he always pay attention to the situation around him, but he also leisurely observed other magicians.
The moment the mountain rat rushed towards it, Ding Kui had locked it with his mental power. His wrist sank and his magic wand was raised in the opposite direction.
With a crisp "snap" sound, the pangolin's skull shattered and died, and its body flew out of the wall.
The magic wand purchased for fifty gold coins was of excellent quality. Ding Kui used a mountain-mountain magic rat that was inlaid with a magic core. Naturally, there would be no problem with the magic core, and the connection with the magic wand was still firm.
Lei Feixiang was overjoyed, and roused himself to concentrate on dealing with the pangolin in his defense area. He finally understood what Ding Kui said. This strong magician had strong hands, and he really didn't need to open his shield when facing first- and second-level monsters.
The captain of the 7th Squadron swallowed his saliva. He was a little far away from Ding Kui, but he still felt the ferocious aura, completely subverting his understanding of the magician.
"Not doing your job properly!" Gu Zhuangdian cursed secretly. In his opinion, the level of the 25-year-old early-stage wand-wielding magician was a bit low. Considering what happened just now, he thought that Ding Kui was delayed because of martial arts training.
The magician closest to Ding Kui turned from surprised to dumbfounded. He was the one who couldn't accept Ding Kui's skill the most, because he knew how difficult it was for a magician to practice martial arts. It was not something that normal people could do.
.
The sun has passed above the head and is slowly tilting to the west. Nearly two hours have passed since the beast tide began to attack the city. On the front battlefield - the north wall, the trainee magicians and robed magicians who came to support were all exhausted.
After all, they have retreated from the city wall to rest in the military camp; the magicians above holding staffs are still fighting, they use magic and allocate their magic power properly, and still retain nearly half of their combat capabilities.
Gu Zhou flew down from high altitude to the Beicheng Tower and said to Liu Qingshan: "Here we come, the last wave of the front line of the beast tide has appeared."
Liu Qingshan pursed his lips and looked at the tired soldiers on the city wall below. After a while, he said: "Well, are you finally here? Commander Sun, pass my order to the second echelon to climb the city wall and wait to be killed.
After finishing the mountain rats, replace the first echelon."
"Yes!" Staff Officer Sun went downstairs to deliver the order.
"You're on the second echelon so soon?" Liu Qingshan's decision surprised Gu Zhou.
Although there is no one to direct the beast tide, there are certain rules. After the mountain rat, a group of level three monsters rush into the city, and then there will be a gap period. This first wave of attacks is generally called the vanguard of the beast tide.
After the advance, there is no fixed time for when the second wave of beasts will attack, but it will take at least an hour and at most half a day.
In the past, the usual practice was to let the first echelon defending the city hold on until the forwards were over, and then rest on the wall. Depending on the time of the second wave of attacks, it was decided whether to replace them with the second echelon; if the second wave came early, the second echelon would be replaced.
If the second wave comes late, the first echelon will have enough rest time and can continue to hold on.
"Didn't you notice that there are a lot of cannon fodder beasts and pangolins in front of you this time? The brothers below have exhausted their physical strength and have begun to get injured. When the third-level monsters come up, some people will be killed, which will have a great impact on morale.
Big blow.
I might as well let the second echelon come in the morning, even if the brothers are a little tired, they won't lose their lives. How is the magician's situation? Can he still survive?" Liu Qingshan was born as a civilian and rose up from the bottom of the soldier. He is very
Value the lives of your soldiers.
"Well, the scale of the beast tide this time is much larger than before, and your decision is correct. You don't have to worry about the magicians. There is no problem in killing the vanguard of the beast tide. The magician guilds in nearby cities and counties have provided timely support.
There are enough manpower for rotation. With the old wizard from Xueling County and the old Gu from Qiumu City here, I don't have to worry about the deployment of manpower." Gu Zhou has worked with Liu Qingshan for many years and can understand his approach.
Ding Kui knocked another pangolin away and turned around to see three new squadrons of infantry and one squadron of archers, standing neatly behind the original guarding soldiers.
The commander-in-chief of the town protection team, Gu Zhuangdian, was an experienced man. When he saw the new soldiers, he knew that the third-level monsters were coming. He immediately flew up to the sky and took a closer look at the monsters behind the mountain rat.
"Attention, town guard, the magician will activate the shield immediately. If you have enough magic power, you can lift into the air; melee companions, pay attention to the soldiers around you. If danger arises, rescue them in time.
The ones coming behind are the 'Golden Lynx' and the 'Bald-tailed Fire Ape'. You have to take action first. There is no need to conserve your strength. After this wave of killings, you will go down and rest." Gu Zhuangdian estimated the number of level three monsters and did
The above decision was made.
"Golden Lynx" is a third-level earth-based monster that can metalize its limbs. It is known as the "Iron Tail and Steel Claw". It is fast and agile and is good at close combat. The disadvantage is that it has no offensive magic.
"Bald-tailed Fire Ape" is a level three fire monster that can spit out fireballs. Its body surface temperature is very high and its tail cannot grow hair. It is resistant to high temperatures and likes to climb. Its disadvantage is that it is afraid of water.
Ding Kui had read the introduction of these two kinds of monsters in the book and understood their advantages and disadvantages. He did not dare to be careless at the moment, so he immediately put on the atmospheric shield on himself, and then used the soaring technique to fly.
In the past, when dealing with the mountain rat, I had used a magic wand to carry out physical attacks. He consumed the least amount of magic power and could afford to fly to ensure his own safety.
Lei Feixiang breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't think that Ding Kui could use his magic wand to hit the monsters coming up from behind. If the number of third-level monsters increased, it would be a problem for him to protect himself.
"Prepare the Demon-Breaking Arrow. Don't let the people of the 29th Squadron have anything to do. Our Seventh Squadron has taken care of the third-level monsters." The captain of the Seventh Squadron went into battle personally and took his longbow into his hands.
Just as the level three monsters were approaching the trench, Guzhuangdian's "Wall of Fire" came out again, this time sealing the entire front of the western section of the city wall.
It turned out that the infantrymen guarding the city wall seemed to have been given a shot in the arm and used their last strength to hunt down the mountain rats frantically. Some even jumped onto the female wall and scraped it down with long knives.
The last group of pangolins panicked and did not all rush to the top of the wall. Some of them climbed up the west mountain wall. One of the leader pangolins even opened a hole in the mountain wall and took the lead to get in. The remaining pangolins The rats also swarmed in.
"Well, it seems that we must find a way to attract all the mountain rats to the center. We can't let the mountain rats sneak into the scope of Qiumu City every time." Rongci looked at the crystal ball.
There were mountain rats digging through the mountain walls on both the east and west sections of the city wall, bypassing the defenses of Tianmen Town and running into the territory of Qiumu City.
"Xiao Zhu, inform Qiu Mu City that a group of pangolin rats have bypassed our defenses." Rongci informed Ruan Xingzhu through the sound transmission array.
Qian You pointed to the animal skin in the middle and said to Ruan Xingzhu, "Here, that's the one."
"Thank you, senior brother." You Qianyou felt much less pressure on Ruan Xingzhu.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the mountain rats, the second echelon of defenders on the western section of the city wall replaced the first echelon, except for the archers.
"Choose a target and attack at will." After the captain of the 7th Squadron finished shouting, he placed five magic-breaking arrows on the bowstring and aimed at the five "bald-tailed fire apes" and shot them.
Ding Kui stopped raising his magic wand to his head. If he did so again he would be suspected, he fired the wind blade directly at the "Bald-tailed Fire Ape".
The fireball technique can't cause much damage to the "Bald-tailed Fire Ape", and Ding Kui's attack area happens to be them, so the wind blade technique is the only option.
The "bald-tailed fire ape" couldn't stand the high temperature of the fire wall and did not dare to rush directly. It squeezed in front of the fire wall and started spitting fireballs towards the top of the wall.
After the beast wave broke out, this was the first time the city wall was attacked from a distance.
The newly replaced infantrymen held up square cards and blocked the sporadic fireballs that hit the city. The magicians' companions also used their weapons to fire.
The archers and magicians did not intercept the fireball of the "Bald-tailed Fire Ape" and tried their best to kill the third-level monsters in front of the fire wall. Before the fire wall in Guzhuangdian disappeared, the long-range power on the western section of the city wall exploded with the most intense firepower. .
Once the fire wall disappears, the climbing abilities of "Golden Lynx" and "Bald-tailed Fire Ape" will quickly reach the top of the city, and it will be more difficult for the defenders to deal with it.

In Xueling County, the temporary camp of the Seventeenth Legion, the magician who stayed behind once again found Pan Hong, "Legion Commander, a group of mountain rats bypassed Tianmen Town and entered the territory of Qiumu City. The cavalry of the Tenth Legion It's hard to kill them.
If you don't think about it any more, if you don't support the Tenth Legion with some magicians, the civilians of Autumn Twilight City will suffer casualties, and I don't think this is what you want to see."
“Are there many pangolins?”
"Not too much."
"Okay then," Pan Hong waved to his staff, "let the magicians from the 168th Division go to support the 10th Legion, and be sure to eliminate the mountain rats that escaped to Qiumu City."
#####
The wall of fire in Guzhuangdian finally disappeared, and the level three monsters that were hit by long-range fire quickly rushed towards the city.
Lei Feixiang threw a sweat-stained towel to the ground, "Damn it, after this fight against the beast tide, I must lose this body fat." After saying that, he put the round shield on his left forearm and the long knife holder on his right hand. Get on the round shield and be ready to kill the monsters that appear on the city wall at any time.
The squadron leader of the 29th Squadron shouted with a sarcastic smile: "Prepare short bows, the weaklings in the 7th Squadron have less appetite than they thought, and they cannot eat these monsters."
