Tang Lie waved his long knife and knocked down the two fire bats that were coming towards him. Xuan Bo had never seen such a tragic scene before. He was so frightened that he hid behind Tang Lie. Suddenly, a fire bat bypassed the crowd and bit him from behind. On her shoulder, Xuan Bo screamed. Tang Lie reacted in time and chopped the fire bat into two pieces with one knife.
"Is something wrong?" Tang Lie asked loudly.
Xuan Bo shook his head in shock. Fortunately, she wore the scale armor Tang Lie gave her. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
Ling Ying was responsible for protecting Xuan'er. Because the fire bats had flown to the city wall, he had to put away his golden long bow and draw out his narrow long knife to start a close fight.
It's strange to say that the fire bat rushed towards everyone, but it did not attack Xuan'er.
Xuan'er saw the bloody and miserable scene in front of her, and she felt extremely sad in her heart. A fire bat was shot through by an arrow. It screamed and fell beside Xuan'er. Its fiery red eyes looked at Xuan'er desperately, as if begging for something. .
Tetul was already furious at this time. The pair of double-edged axes in his hands were swung like windmills. The fire bats around him were chopped into pieces by him.
There are many fires on the entire city wall. The fire bats are still coming continuously. There is no trend of decreasing.
A satisfied smile appeared on Sima Tianfeng's lips. He waved his arm heavily. The imperial army began to slowly advance towards the Parthian city.
The bed crossbows on the city wall were originally used to attack the imperial army from a distance. However, now they have lost their original power due to the overwhelming attack of fire bats. Only one fifth of the bed crossbows were successfully activated. The giant arrows roared into the sky. It exploded in mid-air, and the arrows contained in it poured downwards like a goddess scattering flowers.
The giant shield battalion composed of the Tarr giants raised the giant shield in their hands to their heads. The giant shields were tightly integrated. The spear battalion and rocket battalion composed of the orcs hid under the protection of the giant shield.
Although a few orcs were shot, the losses to the entire imperial army were negligible.
Sima Tianfeng still ordered to slow down the advance. The fire bats' offensive became more and more fierce. The entire Parthian city was already burning. He did not have an accurate estimate of the strength of the Yi tribe in advance. He would have known that the fire bats were so powerful. Huge. He doesn't need to mobilize the army on a large scale at all.
He whispered a few words to Changkong. Changkong controlled the fire bat to rush towards the city gate at full speed, trying to use the fire to burn the city gate.
Xuan'er looked at the dying fire bats on the ground. Crystal tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. The fire bats were innocent. They only did such crazy actions when driven by others.
Crystal tears fell on the injured body of the fire bat. Its crazy eyes turned peaceful. When it was about to die, its wings vibrated violently. The burning wings crawled on the ground and knelt down in front of Xuan'er.
Ling Ying was afraid that the fire bat would cause harm to Xuan'er, so he raised his long knife and tried to slash at the fire bat.
"No." Xuan'er screamed with tears in her eyes.
Dozens of fire bats surrounding Ling Ying who were about to launch an attack suddenly dispersed back. Xuan'er whispered: "I know. You don't want to do this."
The fire bats suddenly gathered above Xuan'er. Even the fire bats that were fighting fiercely with the bandit warriors stopped fighting. They all flew above Xuan'er.
From a distance, the Parthian city seemed to be burning with flames that broke through the sky and the earth.
Changkong's face showed an inexplicable look of horror. He suddenly felt that he had lost control of the fire bat in the blink of an eye.
Accompanied by the frightened howls of the orcs at the forefront of the army, thousands of fire bats carrying scorching flames swept towards the imperial army. This sudden reversal caught the imperial army by surprise.
Sima Tianfeng shouted: "Shoot for me." An overwhelming amount of arrows shot upward from the rocket camp. The fire bats suddenly changed direction and attacked the imperial army crazily.
The wails and roars continued. But this time they came from the Imperial army.
The bandit warriors shouted in joy because of this sudden change.
Taitul yelled: "Get ready for the crossbow. Shoot them all." The re-ready crossbow on the city wall started firing round after round.
The fire bats disrupted the imperial army's camp. The powerful bed crossbow made their situation worse. The Orc Lance Battalion at the forefront suffered the most heavy losses, with half of the casualties killed.
Under the full force of the imperial army's fire, the fire bat attack was gradually contained. Sima Tianfeng issued the order to march at full speed.
Six huge gaps appeared in the neat queue of the imperial army. The wolf cavalry hidden in the army divided into six teams and rushed towards the half-burned city gate like chasing wind and lightning.
The crossbow arrows used in Fangzi's crossbow were about to be used up. The bandit crossbowmen began to use the crossbow arrows in their hands to shoot.
Taitul gave an order. Two hundred bandit warriors equipped with paragliders unfolded their parachutes and dived towards the wolf cavalry from the heights of the city wall. These two hundred carefully trained bandit warriors were what Taitul had originally planned to use. To deal with the backbone of the Wing Clan. Unexpectedly, the first team use was to deal with the empire's army.
The bandit warrior shot down from the air. The powerful crossbow arrow penetrated the chest of a high-speed traveling wolf cavalry. His body leaned back, but his left foot was still on the saddle. The green wolf's speed did not slow down at all. .Drag the dying man and continue to rush forward. His body is bloody and bloody as it rubs against the hard ground.
Several more green wolves were shot. They suddenly fell to the ground while running at high speed. The cavalrymen on the wolves' backs were thrown away by the green wolves due to inertia. Their heads hit the ground and their brains burst and died.
The total number of wolf cavalry is about five thousand. After all, the number of bandit warriors attacking in the air is too small to stop their brave advance.
Just as they were about to approach the city gate, hundreds of bandit warriors wearing brown leather armor suddenly emerged from the sandy ground. They moved extremely quickly. The double-edged axes in their hands went straight to the lower limbs of the green wolf. The wolf cavalry had just become green. The wolf fell on his back. The double-edged ax cut off his neck mercilessly. For a moment, smoke and dust were everywhere in front of the Parthian city gate, and wailing sounds came one after another. It was like a purgatory on earth. The sharp machete in the hand of the wolf cavalry slashed downwards. On the way there, the bandits were submerged into the sand like lightning. Only one bandit warrior who could not dodge was bitten on the head by the green wolf. Its sharp teeth crushed his head.
However, compared to the dead bandit warriors, the casualties of the wolf cavalry were dozens of times higher than theirs. The double attacks from the air and underground caused heavy losses to the empire's elite wolf cavalry.
Sima Tianfeng was not mentally prepared for the cruel situation he was about to face. When his subordinates panted and reported the number of casualties to him, his heart twitched violently. One thousand, seven hundred and thirty wolf cavalrymen were gone in the blink of an eye. He died in front of the Parthian city gate. If this news reached the imperial capital, he, who was always known for his proficiency in fighting, would be ridiculed by his colleagues.
"Retract the troops for the time being." Lieutenant General Luo Weili persuaded him hard.
Sima Tianfeng suddenly turned around. His handsome face was distorted. His gray-green eyes were bloodshot. He growled: "Use the Rhinoceros Beast. I will raze the Parthian city to the ground."
"If this continues, even if we can capture Parthia, the losses will be quite heavy." Luo Weili tried to persuade him.
"I don't care." Sima Tianfeng roared.
The giant shield military camp continued to advance. The rocket battalion under their cover finally reached the effective shooting range. The bandit warriors began to glide into the air through the gaps in the giant shield and began to shoot. Countless feather arrows shot into the air. Although the more than 200 bandit warriors can glide in the air, they lack the ability of the Wing Tribe to fly freely, making them easy targets for the orc archers.
The moment the arrow hit their bodies, they moved the mechanism on their chests, and their entire bodies were ignited by green phosphorus fire. They roared and rushed towards the camp of the Tarr giants, launching a final attack on the enemy with the thought of dying together.
Although the Tal giant is about three meters tall, it moves extremely slowly. It becomes the first choice target of the bandit warriors who are covered in phosphorus fire. The entire giant shield camp suddenly becomes chaotic. The bandit warriors are powerful enough to make every imperial soldier feel be terrified.
The whole world shook violently. Five huge rhino roaring beasts slowly stepped out from the imperial army camp. They were all about ten meters in length. They were covered in thick armor. Their heads were huge and looked like rhinos. Their limbs were Stout. Every time a line takes a step further, the ground will vibrate violently. Where the four hooves step on, the sand layer sinks deeply. There is an arrow tower above each rhinoceros beast. There are more than ten soldiers in full armor inside. The armed imperial warriors used crossbows to shoot forward. The five Rhinoceros beasts advanced together. Their huge bodies put strong pressure on the ground. The bandit warriors hiding underground had been crushed by the Rhinoceros beasts before they could leave. die.
Although several bandit warriors emerged from the ground, they were immediately shot to death by random arrows from the imperial soldiers on the arrow tower.
Tang Lie opened his eyes wide. The armor of these five rhino-roaring beasts was tough and invulnerable. Ordinary arrows could not harm them at all. They were like five huge tanks slowly approaching the outer wall of the Parthian city.
Taitul could not think of a way to deal with these five giant beasts for a while. In order to avoid greater casualties, he hurriedly sent out a signal to let the bandit warriors who were still ambushing underground around the city wall quickly retreat.
The imperial army followed the five-headed Rhinoceros and continued to advance towards the Parthian city.
Tie Mo'ao looked at the five-headed rhinoceros roaring beasts in amazement. He said in confusion: "When did the Xuanwu Empire tame these savage monsters?"
Ya Yi'an also came up at this time. He had extensive knowledge. He exclaimed in shock: "If you want to tame these behemoths, you must have the power of a dragon warrior. Is there a dragon warrior hiding in the army?"
The expressions of everyone present became gloomy. Tie Mo'ao sneered: "It's not impossible to deal with these bulky guys. The long horns of the dragon lizard can easily slice open their bellies."
Ya Yi'an said: "Even if we have the long horns of a dragon lizard, who among us has the ability to get close to these guys."
Everyone's eyes turned to Tie Mo'ao. The only person with this ability was Tie Mo'ao. But his current physical condition is very poor and he is simply unable to complete such a task.
Ya Yi'an said: "Not only are these five invulnerable beasts, but also the 50,000-strong army of the Xuanwu Empire, it is inevitable that the Parthian city will be breached. Before they can enter the city, everyone should retreat as soon as possible. "
Taitul knew that everything Ya Yi'an said was realistic. He sighed in a low voice and said: "Father."
Tie Mo'ao stubbornly shook his head and said, "I will not leave."
Tang Lie said loudly: "Father, take a closer look at the tribesmen around you. Haven't they shed enough blood? You stayed because of Parthia, but they wanted to stay because of you. The city of Parthia was destroyed After that, they can still rebuild. If their lives are lost, will they still have the chance?" His impassioned words hit Tie Mo'ao's heart hard. Tie Mo'ao's stubborn eyes finally softened.
Taitul said loudly: "Glorang, you lead the brothers in the city to escort my father and the injured tribesmen away first. I will stay here to break up the aftermath."
Iron Mo'ao left under the escort of everyone. Tang Lie, Ling Ying and others still accompanied Taitul and continued to fight at the city wall. The flames of war had reached the bottom of the city wall. The huge body of the five-headed rhinoceros roaring beast began to crazily hit the precarious city. The city wall. It won't take too long for the city wall to be broken by them.
Taitul winked at Tang Lie. The time to retreat finally came. At this moment, a rhinoceros roar beast hit the city wall where they were with all its strength. The city wall where Tang Lie and Taitul were knocked out A huge gap separated the two people.
Orcs and wolf cavalry roared and poured in from the burning gap.
Tetul led his remaining men to quickly withdraw into the inner city. Their arduous struggle against the imperial army was quite effective. Most of the bandit tribesmen had withdrawn, and the entire Parthian city became empty.
Looking up, the small section of city wall where Tang Lie and the others were standing was slowly falling downwards. Taitul's eyes were about to burst, and he roared sadly: "Brother."
Although the city wall collapsed, Tang Lie did not fall. Ling Ying's big hand firmly grasped his arm. The other hand grasped Ya Yi'an.
Xuan'er picked up Xuan Bo. The two of them flapped their wings and flew into the billowing smoke. The smoke could effectively hide their figures and avoid being shot by the imperial army.
Ya Yi'an was choked by the thick smoke and kept coughing. But his mouth still didn't stop: "Cough... cough... I didn't expect... you... you would save me..."
Ling Ying said coldly: "I won't be able to hold on for too long. Don't worry. By then, I will be the first to throw you down."
Ya Yi'an said loudly: "The statue. There is a tunnel under the statue."
