Whoosh! There was a sound in the air, and Le Xinyi had already shot the first arrow.
It has to be said that this beautiful girl with a ponytail is really not simple. The arrow flew over a distance of hundreds of meters and accurately hit the round belly of a jet bug. With a squeaking sound, juice splashed out, and this long-range unit was
It was wiped out, and the explosive liquid splashed everywhere, even injuring several mantis monsters nearby!
"Well done!" Ye Peng praised!
Le Xinyi was still concentrating, she drew her bow and fired arrows, killing several bugs in succession. In comparison, Sun Ye was far behind, but he also shot one.
The other reincarnations also bought some standard crossbows and stuck them on the wall for long-range attacks. However, their amateur arrows were neither accurate nor powerful, and basically did no harm...
As the bugs got closer and closer, a rain of arrows rained down on the city. Monsters fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, but more bugs climbed up the city wall and approached the soldiers on the city.
"Too many!" Liu Xingwei, who was riding a large shield, frowned:
"Yesterday, dozens of them ran up and caused chaos. If they all run up this time, we won't be able to defend the city!"
"It's only the second day, it shouldn't be lost!" Fang Tianhua shot an arrow at the top of the city.
The powerful performance of the modern compound crossbow allows his crossbow arrows to easily penetrate the mantis monster's skull, and he can kill it instantly without aiming at the abdomen!
"The city defenders must have some tricks up their sleeves!"
Before he finished speaking, only the sound of the winch was heard. Under the battlements, a row of pipes suddenly poked out towards the shooting holes outside. There was also a row of small torches standing under the pipe mouth. When the insects crawled closer, these pipes sprayed in unison.
A large amount of kerosene was produced. The kerosene was ignited by the torch and turned into tongues of fire, swallowing up the insect swarm under the city head!
"It's fire attack!" The Samsaras looked at the sea of fire under the city wall and said excitedly: "Fire attack is better for defending the city! We will definitely win now!"
"This is not a long-term solution!" Fang Tianhua frowned: "Kerosene was a precious resource in ancient times. If you keep spraying it like this, it will be used up in just a few times!"
"And if you always attack with fire, the outer bricks of the city wall will wear out faster..."
Architect Luo Zhonghua pushed up his glasses:
"Although the city wall here is thick enough, I don't know how many times it has resisted insect attacks. Maybe the outer stone bricks have been burned many times..."
No matter what? The effect of this fire attack is still good? Tens of thousands of insects were burned to death and cooked under the city head that stretched for more than ten miles? The Zerg had to give up the siege? They retreated.
The second round of battle finally ended in victory.
"Why didn't you even attack the city?"
Fang Tianhua looked at the retreating insect tide and said doubtfully:
"The second round should be more dangerous than the first round. This is not in line with the principles of the altar..."
"It doesn't matter so much!" The little yellow-haired man breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not a bad thing if you win!"
After confirming that the insects were no longer a threat, drums sounded at the top of the city, and the soldiers also began to retreat.
And the reincarnators also began to study countermeasures!
As Fang Tianhua said, the altar will never send out useless tasks. Since they are asked to help? Does that mean that if they don't take action? This city wall will be breached within six days! The question is how to breach it, and how will they deal with it?
enemy!
According to the information that has been obtained so far, the reincarnators discussed it all night yesterday, and what they can finally think of is nothing more than three points.
First, do the bugs have special methods to break through the city wall? In that case, the reincarnators will need to help reinforce the city wall. A city wall more than 20 meters thick? It is almost impossible to break through by physical means. According to the current performance of the bugs
Ability? The most likely way is corrosion? By corroding the city wall with acid? Cause the wall to collapse.
In response to this, architect Luo Zhonghua proposed using lime powder for neutralization. According to intelligence, the Great Wall guarded by General Yuan was breached, and the Sunset Fortress stepped up efforts to strengthen the city defense. There was a lot of quicklime in the fortress. Luo Zhonghua proposed to use these limes
The lime powder was moved up the city wall. Once the insects attacked with acid, the lime powder was sprinkled down the city wall. While the acid was neutralized, the residue of the reaction stuck to the city wall, which also played a certain protective role.
Second, the bugs use endless wheel battles to consume the physical strength of the soldiers and the supplies in the fortress. If strategic materials such as arrows, stones, and kerosene are completely consumed, the empty city wall will not be able to withstand the bugs' attack.
There is currently no good solution to this problem. However, according to the observations of the reincarnators, the military supplies reserves in the fortress are very sufficient, and with the bridge as its back, there is a steady stream of supplies coming in, so there is no need to worry about running out.
Third, the bugs stepped up their offensive and launched a massive attack, making the defenders unable to resist and capturing the fortress in one fell swoop.
This currently seems to be the most likely, and at the same time the most helpless. According to senior military officials, thousands of kilometers north of the river are the territory of bugs, and the total number of bugs is probably in the hundreds of millions. A round of tens of thousands of bugs
The attack can still be resisted. If there are hundreds of thousands or millions of attacks, how can humans resist it? This is a naked conspiracy to overwhelm you head-on!
How to defend against a large army approaching the border? The only option is to mobilize troops from the south to help resist, at the cost of human lives! But even so, the army will be exhausted sooner or later. The reincarnators can only pray that the insects will not increase their attack intensity, at least six
Don’t want it in the sky...
After Chongzi retreated, most of the soldiers retreated from the city wall, leaving only a few on guard. Feng Xi also dismounted and led the guards to patrol the city wall!
Her duty is to lead people to patrol back and forth on the city wall. If they find a breached location, they will immediately go to support. She has walked this thousands-meter city wall hundreds of times and is as familiar with it as her own yard. But even if
Even so, this familiarity still did not bring her a sense of security...
"Three years..."
Feng Xi sighed softly: "This group of Zerg from Mobei used to be at peace with us, but suddenly they seemed to go crazy three years ago. They traveled south from Mobei, destroying countless towns and wasting countless lives.
The fields have eaten countless people..."
"At first, we could still resist, but half a year ago, these bugs suddenly mutated into various kinds of alien species, and their strength increased greatly, and we couldn't resist it now... Finally, now they have come to the riverside, if these alien species are allowed to attack
Once you enter the richest Jiangnan, the whole world will turn into a hell on earth, and there will no longer be a place for human beings!"
"Sunset Fortress is the last barrier in the human world!" Feng Xi tightened the long knife in his hand, as if he was saying to himself and the soldiers behind him: "We must hold on..."
Zhang Lang, who was following Feng Xi, heard the female general's soliloquy and was touched by the most painful memories in his heart...
If Sunset Fortress really falls, this world will probably end like his hometown... In order to prevent that tragedy from happening again, Zhang Lang suddenly felt a sense of mission in his heart! No matter what, he must complete this task.
This mission is to defend this fortress!
Um?
But suddenly, Zhang Lang's ears twitched and he couldn't help but look to the north...
"What's wrong?" Feng Xi noticed something strange about him and asked curiously.
"The bugs are back!"
"What?" Feng Xi was shocked. Less than an hour had passed since the last time the insects retreated, and they actually came again?
"Are you mistaken?"
"Hurry up and inform the soldiers to prepare!" Zhang Lang's tone was extremely firm: "Believe me, the bug is back!!"
"But the scouts haven't sent back the news yet..." Feng Xi hesitated. As soon as she finished speaking, billowing black smoke suddenly appeared in the distance. This was the message sent back by the scouts!
In order to keep track of the movements of bugs, Sunset Fortress will also send out scouts to investigate. Once any movement of bugs is found, they will notify with smoke...
There is no need to hesitate. Send the order immediately, blow the horn, and lower the hanging basket!
Not long after, a team of light cavalry galloped back. The people and horses climbed onto the huge hanging basket and were winched to the top of the city.
Finally, in the north of the Sunset Fortress, which was waiting for battle, the dust raised by the insect swarm appeared again!
