Xuan Jie nodded and raised his hand to signal Porter to go down and standby first.
What everyone next has to do is wait for the next round of attack from the demon, and they can already feel the clouds and mist on the mountainside wrapping underneath, filled with the aura of killing.
Standing in front of the city wall made of rocks, he stared at the abyss below in the wind.
I don’t know how long it took, Liudao’s panicked figure appeared in Xuan Jie’s sight.
The leader was Caribbes, and the fear on their faces had proved the correctness of the guess.
"Put down the wooden ladder and pick them up," Xuan Jie ordered lightly.
As soon as Kyripos came up, he hurriedly knelt in front of Xuan Jie, and he couldn't breathe a sigh of relief when the situation was in crisis.
"Sir, a large number of troops gathered at the foot of the mountain, and at least 20,000 people! There are still hundreds of demons entrenched in the air!"
demon?
It seems that their previous actions were indeed a smoke bomb.
"Get up and tell everyone to prepare more rockfalls and logs. These have no effect on the devil and are used to suppress those human troops but are very good."
Due to the high terrain, rolling stones or logs can crush the enemy from its momentum.
Although there has been no large-scale attack here before, there are still a lot of supplies in the warehouse, and the preparations have not been wasted too long.
"Sir, do you need me to shout out more than a thousand people who were originally stationed here? The enemy is coming in full force, and more than half of the defenders regard themselves as reserves."
Porter's proposal is very reasonable, and he can only do his best to defend against a strong enemy.
"No," Xuan Jie refused: "This is the territory of their country. As a soldier, the right troops who even need to support the defense of the country, go and ask for it, and then this battle will definitely be defeated."
After hearing the order, Porter bowed and slowly retreated, ready to continue to make some preparations.
When the defenders present in Black Bear Mountain heard these words, they lowered their heads in shame.
Others came from all the way to help the Chris Mountains. The enemy was facing the enemy, but their own people retreated because they did not obey orders.
The demon army did not give much breathing time. Not long after, Xuan Jie sensed that the large groups of people at the foot of the mountain were climbing up under the cover of the fog.
"As soon as everyone enters the state of combat," Xuan Jie raised his hand to break the silence. On the dark Yafeng, people's breathing was much faster.
"Light the flames on the stakes, push three in a row for each defensive post, and then all arrows are stained with saltpeter powder, and the archers are on standby."
The issuance of orders made the army feel as if it was facing a great enemy. Although they occupied the high ground, the number of people was too disadvantageous.
The log was poured with fuel, and a raging fire ignited the moment it came into contact with the flame.
The fire covered the entire line of defense. Although the enemy had not yet emerged, the soldiers still obeyed the order and pushed down three logs with fire.
"Bang bang bang..."
The rolling logs collided with the rocks, making a violent sound.
The flames sputtered beside the grass, just like Mars dancing with logs, the mountains are the stage, and the grass is the audience.
Until the fog was dispelled by the flames, the logs with fire hit the group of human legions that were quietly touching, with red eyes.
"Since that's the case, don't hide it, for my god! Go!"
The leading soldier held up his long sword, but what came towards him was a dense rain of arrows.
Arrows stabbed the skin, and saltpeter powder spontaneously burned under the scorching flame.
"Ah...uh!"
People were covered with flames on their wounds, and the huge pain made them roll and shout on the ground, which greatly limited the speed of progress.
But just as the second wave of arrow rain was approaching, Xuan Jie raised his hand and signaled the archer to stop the attack.
"Sir, now is a great time to repel the enemy! Saltpeter powder is working!" Porter shouted excitedly.
"The archers' target is not them," Xuan Jie said lightly: "Let the peripheral troops continue to attack with rolling stones and logs, and there is no need to save money until the enemy is repelled."
Everyone showed confusion about this order to restrict the archers, but they still did it.
The logs with fire continued to roll down the mountain, and when the huge rocks fell, the construction of the city walls began to vibrate.
Under such an offensive, the enemy army still charged up with red eyes, and some of the people who were shot and broken feet were still trying to climb.
"What a terrifying perseverance, is this the so-called power given to you by the demon? Use your life to buy it for their ambitions?"
Thick smoke ignited throughout the defense zone, and this kind of scene was unprecedented.
Those so-called reserve troops rushed over with their companions, but Xuan Jie ignored them and they didn't know what they should do.
At this moment, Xuan Jie, who was standing in the fire, opened his eyes, picked up the crossbow and left the cliff defense line.
The army that could not find anything to do so saw this and rushed towards him.
"Sir, please arrange tasks for us. Now the enemy is in great force and needs to unite to retreat to the enemy."
The soldiers in black armor bowed slightly, but did not recognize their mistakes in terms of attitude.
However, it is already a joke that a soldier can't find anything to do on the battlefield.
"Go and watch," Xuan Jie walked over them and walked forward and said lightly.
"What?" the sergeant thought he had heard it wrong and asked again, but the answer he got was the same.
"Get off the front line and don't hinder others from performing their duties."
Xuan Jie slowly stepped onto the mountain, where there were archers who had been ambushing a long time ago, and there was a blank look behind him.
Humph, when the enemy is large and I am few, I still come to ask me about the task? Are my eyes blind?
When he arrived at the top of the mountain, Xuan Jie put the arrows stained with saltpeter onto the bow and arrow, and then aimed at the dark and gloomy sky.
"As soon as the archer listens to my orders, pull the bow..." The bow string was pulled apart, and only Xuan Jie's bow was in a shooting state, and the sound was particularly clear.
Just as everyone was wondering if they had heard the wrong order, a figure fell from the air.
"The devil...is a devil!"
People pointed at the sky, their eyes full of disbelief.
The stone floor was cracked, and the demon was not completely dead yet, and he was trying to stand up with his hands on his feet.
"Uh... Damn!" It spit out green blood viciously, spreading its wings to continue flying.
"Are you waiting for the meal? The sword in your hand is a decoration? You have to let the devil attack first before you know how to fight back?"
Xuan Jie's cold and remarkable questions made the melee troops come to their senses. According to the original deployment, they were here to finish the attack on the undead demon.
So he waved his swords at the demon. Even if his skin was hard, he could not withstand such a group fight. He immediately died with reluctance.
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Xuan Jie's next order followed.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Countless bows and arrows shot into the sky in one go, shooting down several demons wrapped in darkness.
"Hmph, use darkness as a cover to isolate the breath, and then take the opportunity to invade the mountain without the Xiong Ling guarding. You really dare to think about it!"
