Seeing Diga return with a depressed look on his face, Sanluo was also surprised, "So, the human territory has been on guard against us from the beginning, so it's hard to carry out sneak attacks again."
She originally planned to wait until dawn to sneak attack the city gate.
Although the Hai Clan's army is enough to crush Chang'an, the fortified city is abominable after all. If possible, Shan Luo still hopes to directly attack Chang'an without attacking the city.
Looking at it now, it is unrealistic.
"Lord Shanluo, I suggest that a sneak attack should be carried out. What if the enemy relaxes?" Kalu had a different view and suggested cautiously.
Once the city is attacked, the ones who suffer the most casualties will definitely be the murlocs who serve as cannon fodder. As the leader of the murlocs, Karu of course wants to fight for it and avoid attacking the city as much as possible.
"What you said makes sense."
Shan Luo glanced at Karu in surprise, and then started to arrange it.
………
February 26, around 6 a.m.
It was early spring, and the sky was still dark, with only a glimmer of light popping out from the horizon in the distance.
An elite combat team composed of twenty Naga warriors and two hundred Siren warriors took advantage of the darkness and quietly reached the foot of the city wall near Chunming Gate of Chang'an City.
Rows of torches and braziers were erected at the top of the city, and soldiers were on patrol.
"Ah what~~~"
Suddenly there was a low roar in the dark night, and then a giant foot as thick as a bucket appeared out of thin air, smashed into the city wall, and then swept past.
Followed by the second one, the third one...
There are eight giant feet, like pillars breaking the sky, taking turns smashing down on the city wall.
"Wow!"
The defender who was struck by the giant foot vomited blood on the spot and fell to the ground, his internal organs were shattered.
Even the battlements were smashed into gaps.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!!"
The soldiers of the city guard brigade on duty immediately shouted loudly, their voices urgent, and there was a hint of panic in their eyes.
Have they ever seen such a monster?
There were also brave warriors who came forward with guns and stabbed hard at the giant feet, but they were bounced away by the smooth and tough skin of the giant feet. They only penetrated a little and could not pull them out.
On the contrary, it angered the giant foot and swept past it quickly. The spearman was knocked away, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Archers can't even aim and shoot.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Someone on a nearby tower immediately rang the bell, and the sound spread throughout the country.
As the sirens rang, the warriors who were sleeping against the city wall stood up one after another, as if they were forced to turn on their phones, grabbed their weapons, and rushed to the battlefield immediately.
The soldiers all slept in their clothes to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks.
Further away, a steady stream of soldiers came out of the tower, and archers and crossbowmen were in position, looking for the best shooting angle.
There were also temporarily recruited laborers who also entered the station one after another to help carry arrows and stones.
The City Guard Brigade's response was swift.
Such a quick response is naturally inseparable from hard training in peacetime and continuous similar siege simulation drills, so that it can be orderly in wartime.
It can be seen that Tu Hong did have a certain skill in leading his troops.
At least I'm not lazy.
As the commander-in-chief, Tu Hong also rushed to the scene immediately. When he saw the giant foot that was wreaking havoc, he couldn't help but gasped, "What kind of monster is this?"
"It's a giant octopus!"
At some point, Tang Jing also appeared on the battlefield, accompanied by Yue Fei and Qin Shuang.
Strategically.
Tang Jing was very contemptuous of the upcoming attack from the Hai Clan.
Tactically.
But he paid enough attention to it and stayed on the tower last night.
Just to prevent accidents.
Tang Jing was also deeply shocked when he saw that the Naga tribe actually sent such a huge octopus to attack the city. The Naga tribe is indeed one of the overlords of the sea, and their background is indeed quite deep.
This giant octopus is much more difficult to deal with than any siege vehicle.
"Let the archers launch rockets to find the octopus's head, and then let the Fangzi Crossbow Team prepare to directly attack the octopus's body." Tang Jing gave the order directly without having time to explain.
"promise!"
Tu Hong was also decisive and turned around to make arrangements.
Leaning slightly, rockets shot out from each arrow tower and sentry tower at the top of the city, lighting up the night and vaguely reflecting the body of the giant octopus.
He lay down not far from the city wall.
Under the stimulation of the fire, the giant octopus became even more crazy, and its giant feet swept wildly.
The soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties for a while.
On the contrary, most of the arrows shot were bounced off by the octopus's smooth skin, and basically did not cause any major damage to the octopus itself.
At the same time.
The giant octopus also used its giant feet to roll up the Naga warrior directly and send it to the top of the city.
"kill!"
The Naga warriors holding tridents started killing as soon as they landed on the ground. Ordinary sword and shield soldiers encountered them, and they were almost no match for them.
But war is never fought alone.
The defenders quickly reacted, with sword and shield soldiers in front and spearmen at the back. Under the command of the corps commander, commander, and team leader, they quickly formed a battle formation to surround the incoming Naga warriors.
The latter also immediately fell into a bitter fight.
"Gan!!!"
Seeing the dense enemy soldiers on top of the city, the Naga warriors leading the team also complained endlessly.
How the hell is this a sneak attack?
The giant octopus didn't care, and was still stupidly sending waves of Naga warriors and Kraken warriors to the top of the city and into the encirclement of the city guard brigade.
This caused the Nagas to curse again and again, but to no avail.
"Ready to launch!"
Just when the giant octopus was showing off its skills, several crossbows in the surrounding area had been debugged. They aimed at the fragile head of the giant octopus and fired arrows like javelins.
"Ah what~~~"
Caught off guard, the crossbow bolt completely penetrated the giant octopus's head, blue blood spurted out, and the giant octopus was in pain. It no longer cared about attacking the city, and danced and disappeared into the night.
"Ah?"
Seeing the giant octopus escaping alone, the Naga warriors and Siren warriors who had been sent to the city were dumbfounded.
"What the hell."
"You should take us away with you, you bastard!"
Where could the giant octopus be heard? It had fled long ago, leaving behind disgusting blue blood all over the place.
"Kill them all!"
Lieutenant General Tu Gang, who was commanding on the front line, had cold and determined eyes.
In just a few minutes, due to the appearance of the giant octopus, the city guard brigade had killed more than thirty city defenders, and more than a hundred people were injured, who were receiving treatment from Tang Jing's blessing.
All the soldiers were secretly sweating.
Fortunately, they expected the enemy to be lenient and remained vigilant. If they were a little careless, the city gate might really be breached by the giant octopus.
The consequences.
It makes people shudder just thinking about it.
In this battle, Fangzi Crossbow also made great achievements again, otherwise, the giant octopus would be difficult to deal with.
You will suffer a big loss.
………
"Failed?"
About 1,500 meters away from the city wall, 20,000 Hai Clan troops have gathered in place, ready to wait until the city gate is opened and then rush in to kill the generals.
What was waiting for him was a dying giant octopus.
Seeing this, Shan Luo couldn't help but put a bit of solemnity on her face. The human race's defense against them was obviously far beyond her previous expectations.
This battle doesn’t seem that simple?
"Lord Shanluo, don't hesitate, attack the city directly!" Diga was impatient.
"Yes, sir, let's attack the city!"
From the beginning of the expedition to the present, the Hai Clan army came in high spirits, but was frustrated every step of the way. The human race seemed to be "weak", but they always expected the enemy to be there first, which severely damaged the morale of the Hai Clan army.
This made some soldiers become impatient.
"Everyone has it, attack!"
Shan Luo was also aware of the change in the morale of the army, and knew that at this time, she could no longer tolerate her hesitation, and must use a crisp victory to restore the morale of the army.
"kill!!!"
Sure enough, as soon as the attack order was given, the Hai Clan army became excited again.
Each one is bloodthirsty and ferocious.
The densely packed murloc warriors roared at the front, followed by up to five giant octopus monsters and the tidal beast with spines all over its body.
The element of water still stands above the tidal beast.
Then there are rows of Kraken warriors and Naga warriors.
Just at this moment, on the horizon in the distance, the sun, which had been gestating all night, finally jumped up from the bottom of the sea, rising up with orange-red rays of light, piercing the darkness of the night.
It's dawn!
Under the background of the sun, the 20,000 Hai Clan army surged toward Chang'an like a tidal wave.
