Wang Keke had returned to Longmen Inn half an hour ago.
More than a dozen red-clothed disciples, including Yan Feng and Ge Ling, came back with him.
Yanfeng's mood was solemn, and Wang Keke knew that Yanfeng was worried about his father, the leader of the Dayan clan.
So he asked Ge Ling to stop squeezing her shoulders and beating her legs, and asked her to spend more time with Yan Feng.
It's already dawn in Mount Emei, but it's still the dark night before dawn in Longmen.
Wang Keke stood at the door of the inn, looking north.
He knew that a fierce battle was about to take place here.
Ever since yesterday evening, when the Celestial Madman Army attacked Longmen Ancient City and suffered heavy losses, the Celestial Army has not launched another attack on Longmen, but has retreated five miles away.
As time went by, various legions from Heaven began to arrive in the northern part of Longmen.
They have a problem that I don't know whether it's good or bad. They usually conquer cities and territories step by step.
When they came from the north, the ancient city of Longmen was blocking their way, so they had to capture the ancient city of Longmen first, and then attack Longbei Mountain to the south of the ancient city.
It's just that after they suffered a loss, they learned to be smarter. They no longer foolishly attacked the city, but started making siege equipment with great fanfare.
Before dawn, when the stars recede and the moon dims, it is the darkest moment of the day.
On the city wall, the tall female general was leaning on the rocks of the city wall and resting with her eyes closed.
Suddenly, a general of the Red Feather Army came to her side and said: "General, as expected, the undead army came up from the west in the dark night."
The tall female general didn't even open her eyes and said: "Act as planned."
The city wall of Longmen Ancient City was rebuilt with countless huge rocks and is extremely strong.
If you want to capture this city, the enemy doesn't have many cards to play.
Either the undead army that can climb vertical rocks, or the destruction army that can shoot fireballs from a long distance.
The Madman Legion has proved with blood and corpses that it is difficult to get close to the city wall.
The giant army can indeed cause some damage to the ancient city of Longmen, but they are also afraid of the black powder in the hands of the red feather army.
The Legion of Destruction is still hundreds of miles away and will not be able to reach here for a while. It is impossible for the heavenly army to just besiege and not attack outside Longmen City.
The best siege strategy is to take advantage of the darkest period before dawn, send out the undead army, sneak under the city wall, and quietly climb up. As long as the undead warriors lie on the top of the city, the dragon gate will be taken down.
.
Therefore, the Heavenly Army is making siege equipment with great fanfare, just to attract and paralyze the Red Feather Army, so that this sneak attack can have the best effect.
It's a pity that the sneak attack tactics of the senior generals of Tianjie have already been guessed by the senior leaders of the Red Feather Army.
A big net has been open for a long time and is just waiting to be closed.
The densely packed skeleton warriors did not attack Beicheng. They advanced from the west.
The skull held the rusty sword in its teeth, crawling forward bit by bit against the sand like a lizard.
When they were still about a hundred feet away from the west wall of Longmen City, the rumble of war drums sounded from the north.
The heavenly army began to move south.
The tall female general was still sitting on the city wall and said: "Don't worry about the enemies in the north. They are just attracting our attention. Tell General Fuyi not to let go of a single skeleton soldier."
Guarding the west is a young general from the Red Feather Army, Fuyi.
He looks to be in his mid-twenties, tall, and handsome.
She was wearing a black battle armor, holding a eight-foot-long silver spear, and carrying two long knives behind her back.
She squinted her eyes and looked to the west. It was very dark and she couldn't see anything, but she knew that the skeleton soldiers from heaven were already close at hand.
Fuyi is very calm.
Even though she had heard rustling in the darkness, and even heard the scraping of skeleton soldiers climbing the rock wall, she still had no reaction.
On the city wall, behind the wall stacks, squatted two rows of red-feathered soldiers wearing crested helmets.
In front of them, there was actually a large vat half as tall as a person.
A height of several feet is nothing to a skeleton warrior.
Even if it is the Yingzui Cliff, which is dozens of feet high, they can easily climb it.
Now there are many skeleton warriors climbing up the city wall. Seeing that the red feather army above has not noticed them yet, they all secretly rejoice.
Just as the first skeleton warrior was about to climb up the city wall, General Fuyi suddenly shouted.
"Do it!"
The Red Feather Army soldiers squatting behind the battlements on the city wall immediately stood up.
They did not hold weapons, but each held a large wooden ladle.
Scoop out a ladle of viscous liquid from the vat and pour it down the rock wall.
I don’t know what the liquid was, but it was very viscous. All the skeleton warriors attached to the rock wall were stuck to it.
At the same time, torches were lit one after another, and some torches were thrown down from the city wall.
A hole was torn open in the darkness by the light of the fire. Only then did the Red Feather Army on the city wall see countless skeletons gathering densely under the city wall.
Even though these red-feathered soldiers had already been prepared in their hearts, seeing these terrifying walking skeleton soldiers was still as startling as the first time the human warriors saw skeleton soldiers in ten years.
General Fuyi's expression was solemn, and she shouted: "Get ready for thunder and fire bombs!"
Long wooden boxes were opened one after another, and each wooden box was covered with a layer of oil paper.
After peeling off the oil paper, there are two layers of gray jars that look like a wine rack neatly stacked inside. There are ten jars on each layer, and the layers are still separated by oil paper.
The Red Feather Army soldiers on the city wall took out the thunder bombs from the wooden box and lit the fuse on the torch.
Fuyi said loudly: "Three breaths! Throw!"
After lighting it, I waited for about three breaths. When the fuse was almost finished burning, countless gray cans were thrown from the city wall.
Skeleton warriors are undead creatures that have died once and are extremely tenacious. If you want to kill them, you can only cut off their heads.
In addition, neither flooding nor fire can cause fatal damage to the skeleton warrior.
As for bows and arrows...
They are skeletons themselves, so bows and arrows will do less damage to them.
This is the first time that the mother-in-law thunderbolt fire bomb made of black powder has been used in actual combat. Whether it can cause fatal damage to skeleton warriors remains to be verified.
The generals of the Heavenly Realm have spent a lot of money this time. In order to take down Longmen in one fell swoop, they even mobilized a reorganized skeleton army, about 14,000 undead warriors.
Now, more than a thousand pieces of the city wall on the west side are stuck to the viscous liquid, making it impossible to move.
At least five thousand people were gathered inside the city, and there were seven or eight thousand more outside.
Because of the fight, torches were constantly thrown down the city wall, and the sneak attack turned into a strong attack.
The undead warriors roared and rushed forward like a tide. As a result, the bottom of the city wall was overcrowded. At this moment, instead of throwing torches, jars were thrown above.
