Lang Yuan nodded and gave Tang Lie a positive reply: "General Fina volunteered to lead the female battalion to stay behind."
When Taitul heard what he said, he shouted angrily: "Damn it. You guys are so shameless. You actually let these wounded soldiers and female battalions who have lost their combat effectiveness stay and hold on."
Unspeakable guilt flashed across Lang Yuanyingwu's face. It was not that he insisted on staying. However, Hetel's military order did not give him any chance to choose. As an outstanding general, he must first obey the orders of his superiors. Command. What's more, Commander Heter is his mentor.
Taitul wanted to continue to accuse Lang Yuan, but Tang Lie stopped him. At this time, Tang Lie showed unusual calmness: "Lang Yuan, I decided to stay."
"Why." Taitul and Lang Yuan asked at the same time. This time it wasn't just Lang Yuan. Even Taitul couldn't understand Tang Lie's decision.
A faint smile appeared on Tang Lie's resolute face: "I don't know. But I think I should stay." He did not continue to explain to Taitul and Lang Yuan. He turned and walked away.
Taitul touched the back of his head in astonishment and murmured: "Is it worth it for a woman?"
Hearing Tang Lie's footsteps, Fina suddenly turned around. Although the expression on her face was calm, the smile in her beautiful eyes still couldn't hide her inner joy: "Why don't you follow General Wolf and retreat."
Tang Lie smiled and said nothing. He stared intently at Fina's pretty face.
Fina's pretty face turned red. Her voice suddenly became softer: "Why do you want to stay?"
Tang Lie took an aggressive step forward, instantly closing the distance with Fina. This distance made Fina's heart beat faster: "You really want to ask me the reason for staying."
Fina secretly cursed herself for being useless for showing panic in front of this helpless guy. She mustered up the courage and nodded.
Tang Lie whispered in her ear: "For you."
Fina lowered her head under Tang Lie's blazing gaze. In fact, she had already guessed Tang Lie's answer. But it was so sweet for her to hear this sentence from Tang Lie's mouth.
When Tang Lie saw Fina's shy and lovely appearance, he wished he could take her into his arms. But in front of the imperial soldiers on the city wall, he had to have some scruples after all. It was undeniable that he had a strong liking for Fina. But he would It would be too far-fetched to attribute the reason for his stay entirely to Fina.
Another important reason why he stayed in Huju Pass was to avoid Commander Heiteer. The more he knew, the more dangerous he would be. Tang Lie knew this truth well. The death of Emperor Xuan Sizhe happened to Tang Lie I saw it with my own eyes. What Hetel is most afraid of is that this matter is leaked. Once it is unfortunately leaked, Hetel will definitely be the first to suspect him. If he leaves Fina's protection, Hetel may kill someone and silence him. So. It is safer to stay at Huju Pass.
When the first trace of blue-gray appeared in the dawn sky, the attack of the Rand Empire army began in full force.
Amidst the sound of drums that shook the world, Lande soldiers started more than a hundred huge trebuchets and threw burning boulders against the solid city wall of Huju Pass.
Because the distance was too far, few boulders successfully hit the target. The few boulders that were thrown on the city wall had lost their strength and only made a small hole in the solid city wall.
Under the cover of the Giant Shield Battalion, the Lande Archery Battalion began to slowly advance towards Huju Pass.
Fina's heart had already calmed down from the short-term chaos just now. Her beautiful ice-blue eyes calmly observed the enemy's movements.
The archer battalion stopped marching before entering their own firing range.
Fina ordered: "Before the enemy enters the shooting range, we must not act rashly. Cherish every arrow in our hands."
Taitul, who was standing next to Tang Lie, suddenly moved his ears quickly: "Did you hear that?"
Tang Lie looked at him curiously. He didn't hear anything unusual.
Rong Xiaoqing pouted disdainfully and said, "It's just being mysterious."
Taitul's eyes were cast on the eastern sky. The morning sun slowly rose above the horizon. Its dazzling brilliance made people dare not look closely. There was a faint metallic reflection in the distant sky.
Tang Lie also noticed this unusual situation. They should be neatly arranged metal dots. The target flew closer and closer. It became more and more clear in the field of vision of Tang Lie and others. Tang Lie was surprised to see that It turned out to be a group of warriors operating alloy paragliders.
Taitul cursed loudly: "Grandma, you are a bear. You actually stole our flying wings." He thought that only the thieves had mastered the technology of flying with paragliding wings. He did not expect that the Lande Empire had already formed such a large-scale organization. A huge flying team.
"Aim at the sky and shoot." The two armies fought fiercely at the border for a long time. But it was the first time for Fina to see that the Randers had flying troops. Therefore, her surprise was not as great as that of Tetur.
The feathered arrows shot into the air like locusts. Countless feathered arrows hit the target accurately. But what disappointed them was that the Rand flying warrior was wearing tough alloy armor and a hard crystal mask on his face. It is shrouded in tight protection. Ordinary feather arrows cannot penetrate it.
Tang Lie made a rough estimate. The total number of this group of flying warriors was at least five hundred. In this relatively primitive continent, the power of five hundred pilots cannot be underestimated.
Fina saw that ordinary feather arrows could not cause damage to these flying warriors, so she immediately ordered small trebuchets to serve. At one time, twenty small trebuchets were at different positions on the city wall, throwing stones into the air.
Although the power of the trebuchet has increased a lot, the aiming accuracy and range are not ideal. Most of the stones thrown missed. Only a few stones successfully hit the Rand Flying Warrior.
The burning boulder hit the body of a flying warrior, breaking the alloy umbrella wing immediately. The warrior dived straight from the air. His body hit the city wall heavily. Then he fell vertically to the hard ground. Blood flowed from it. Water gurgled out from the gaps in the armor. It was obvious that he could not survive.
The Rand Empire's archery battalion took advantage of the flying warriors to attract the opponent's long-distance attack weapons and quickly advanced to within the effective range.
They were two soldiers in a group. One of them lay down on the ground and used his feet and arms to draw the giant iron bow. The other companion was responsible for installing the big arrow on the bow string. With the commander's roar, thousands of arrows were fired at the same time. A salvo was fired into the sky above Huju Pass. The arrows flew to the highest point, and then accelerated downwards.
Wails and shouts suddenly sounded in Huju Pass.
Most of the soldiers who stayed in Huju Pass were too weak to move. Only a few of them successfully moved to hidden areas. Under the intensive fire from the air and ground, they were unable to resist and suffered heavy casualties.
Fina did not panic at all when her side was completely at a disadvantage. She loudly ordered: "Everyone stick to their positions. The Landers must not be allowed to successfully breach the city gate."
The dense rain of arrows from the Lande Archery Battalion finally passed. Fina began to organize her men to fight back.
Under the cover of their own round of arrows, dozens of Lande flying warriors had successfully passed over the city wall and began to throw black balls into the city. The balls must have been filled with explosives and the like. After landing, There was an earth-shattering explosion. The soldiers of the Xuanwu Kingdom who could not escape were blown to pieces by the powerful explosion. Their flesh, blood and split limbs flew into the air.
"Armor-piercing arrows." Fina commanded in an orderly manner.
The archers under his command aimed at the flying Land flying warriors and shot black armor-piercing arrows. The armor-piercing arrows were originally used to deal with the armored soldiers of the Land Empire attacking the city. Now they have to be used in advance. The armor-piercing arrow tips are made of black gold. They are extremely precious. The number is only about a hundred, so you must be careful when using it. Make sure that every arrow hits the target.
The armor-piercing arrow passed through the belly of a flying warrior like lightning. The warrior screamed and swooped towards the city wall holding the black ball that was too small to be thrown.
Before he could get close, the trebuchet ejected a huge boulder. He and the stone were ejected back towards the Lander camp. His whole body was beaten to pieces by the boulder. When he landed in his own camp, he had become A corpse. The black ball exploded after it hit the ground, causing the surrounding Rand soldiers who couldn't escape to cry and wail.
Fina's counterattack was completely unable to stop the Landers' attack. The Landers' 50,000-strong leading force advanced forward in an orderly manner.
Tang Lie was not good at shooting. He spent most of his time hiding behind the city wall and was responsible for helping to treat some injured soldiers.
Suddenly, he heard a tender cry from Fina. Tang Lie looked up and saw an arrow passing by Fina's shoulder. He rushed to Fina's side immediately, held Fina's arm and said with concern: " How are you? Are you injured?"
Fina shook her head and signaled Tang Lie to return to a safe place to hide. She ordered Rong Xiaoqing to have all the archers put on rockets. A heroic and fearless look appeared in her beautiful blue eyes: "Aim at the burning line and shoot. "
Tang Lie and Taitul looked down curiously. Thousands of rockets shot downward at the same time. They should have received such training countless times before. The target of the rockets was not the Lande Empire army, but Huju Pass. On the ground in front, the rockets shot deeply into the ground. They were all concentrated about three hundred meters in front of the city. From a distance, the small piece of land was burning.
Taitul asked curiously: "Is there some mechanism hidden under that ground?"
Before he finished speaking, the trebuchets on the city wall all aimed at the landing point of the rocket and projected the burning boulders. The fire suddenly intensified a lot. Suddenly, with the burning piece of land as the center, a dazzling bright light suddenly shot out. It rose up. Then a huge explosion was heard. The ground beneath his feet shook violently. Tang Lie, who was not fully prepared, stumbled and sat down on the city wall.
When I looked again, the land in front of the city wall was completely engulfed in a sea of fire. The leading troops of the Lande people who were walking at the forefront did not expect that there would be a sudden explosion and burning under their feet. They were immediately trapped in the sea of fire.
Tang Lie and Taitul clapped their hands at the same time. It turned out that there was a trench hidden under the ground in front of Huju Pass. The trench was filled with black kerosene. Only when the enemy's leading troops entered the range did Fina order the underground trench to be ignited. of organs.
Explosions caused by the burning came one after another. The land in front of Huju Pass, which was 500 meters long and wide, was completely burned. The Rand soldiers who entered it felt as if they were trapped in a hell made of fire. They howled and fled around. The fire caused They couldn't see clearly what was going on around them. They were all scurrying around like headless flies. The smell of roasted flesh filled the air.
The expression on Fina's pretty face did not relax at all. This burning line is the most lethal line of defense in Huju Pass. It is also the last line of defense in Huju Pass.
After all, the Lande army was well-trained. They quickly calmed down from the panic. They began to use the soil and yellow sand under their feet to extinguish the flames in front. The burning area quickly began to shrink.
"What is that?" Rong Xiaoqing pointed to the Lande camp. Everyone looked along her direction. They saw two huge alloy mechanical monsters slowly walking towards the direction of Huju Pass under the control of Lande soldiers. Come on, they are all about three stories high. From a distance, they look like two giant spiders. Eight flexible mechanical arms stretch out in all directions.
Tang Lie rubbed his eyes. He was convinced that the alloy monster did not belong to any kind of creature. It was a machine. A real machine. The technology mastered by the Lande people was so advanced. It surpassed the Xuanwu Empire several times. Tang Lie could not Figure out what kind of power is used to drive such a huge mechanical monster.
Fina gave the order. All the archers aimed at the two mechanical monsters and started shooting. The stormy arrows had no effect on stopping the mechanical monsters. Instead, they moved faster and faster. The long metal arms Stepping through the fire scene, we are getting closer and closer to the city wall.
The catapult aimed at the mechanical monster with the few remaining boulders. The huge boulder hit the mechanical monster's body accurately. The impact caused countless sparks, but it failed to damage them at all.
Tetul sighed sincerely: "It's so fucking awesome. Where did the Randers find these monsters?"
The Rand soldiers approached the city wall under the cover of two giant mechanical monsters.
Fina's expression was gloomy. Only now did she see the true strength of Rand's army. Facing the opponent's strange machinery, she was completely helpless.
Two huge mechanical monsters were supported by six metal arms, supporting their huge and heavy bodies. They hit the city gate heavily with two metal arms.
The heavy city gate made an overwhelming creaking sound under their continuous impact. The stones and dust above the gate fell, injuring several Xuanwu soldiers who were holding on to the gate desperately.
The soldiers guarding the city wall began to use rolling logs and rocks to hit the mechanical monsters. The two mechanical monsters did not care at all about these external attacks. They shook their huge heads and continued to launch another round of attacks on the city gate. attack.
