Chapter 59 The situation is critical, the generals are showing off their power!
"Coming!"
Looking at the Hai Clan army coming like a tidal wave, even Tang Jing, who had seen big scenes, couldn't help but feel a little numb.
The last time we faced such a large battle was when an army of 5,000 orcs from Black Wind Village attacked.
This time the scale is even greater.
Compared with the last time, Chang'an is completely different. Not only has the outer city wall been completed, but the territory's military strength has also increased several times.
Naturally, I feel more confident.
After dealing with the Naga and the Kraken who were sent to the city by the octopus monster, the two brothers Tu Hong and Tu Gang had already ordered the defenders to stand ready.
All the crossbowmen are in place, and logs, stones and other defensive materials have been prepared in advance.
The enlisted civilian husbands have also been put in place.
When the Hai Clan army attacked, they were greeted by waves of arrows.
The City Guard Brigade has two crossbow battalions and one archer battalion. Three cavalry battalions also play the role of archers, plus the archer battalion under the Shanshan Brigade.
There were as many as 3,500 crossbowmen on the city walls.
Although it is far from being called a volley of ten thousand arrows, more than a thousand arrows were shot out at once, and the scene was spectacular enough.
The already fragile fishmen, under the continuous rain of arrows, were like ripe wheat, being ruthlessly harvested by the sickle, falling in pieces, wailing to themselves.
But neither the murloc companions nor San Luo, who was commanding from behind, were indifferent to the murloc casualties.
Fishmen are just cannon fodder!
The murlocs who continued to charge even trampled the corpses of their companions into the soil.
No mercy.
Murloc leaders like Karu still have some brains, but the IQ of ordinary murlocs is really worrying.
It is more driven by instinct.
Although the murlocs were thin, they all ran very fast. In a short time, the murlocs who were lucky enough to escape the attack of arrows rushed to the foot of the city wall.
Then he climbed up the city wall in a daze.
That's right.
Just climb!
Compared with humans, orcs, and fishmen have a great skill, that is, their palms and soles are webbed-like, and they can secrete mucus, allowing them to attach their bodies to stone walls.
Can you climb up?
In a short time, the surface of the city wall was covered with little fishmen.
The scene is very spectacular.
"Get ready to throw stones!"
Faced with the unexpected performance of the murlocs, the city defenders remained calm as usual. They ordered the civilians to carry stones, press them against the city wall, and smash them down on the heads of the climbing murlocs.
Once it is hit, it will basically turn into pulp.
Sure enough, he is still cannon fodder!
The five octopus monsters following closely behind the fish-men army became the focus of Fangzinu's care.
Crossbow arrows shot out one after another.
Although the octopus monsters are not very intelligent, they can communicate with each other. The injured octopus monster that returned has already informed his companions about the situation of the bed crossbow.
Still using synchronous telex.
Therefore, when facing the powerful crossbow, the octopus monster is not defenseless. If possible, he will avoid it. If he cannot avoid it, he will choose to intercept it with his giant feet and protect the vital parts of his head as much as possible.
Even if the arms and legs are broken, they can grow back later.
But how can a bed crossbow be an easy thing? Once fired, it is as fast as lightning, and often several bed crossbows attack a target from different directions at the same time.
How can it be that the octopus monster can escape if it wants to?
In the blink of an eye, two more octopus monsters were pierced in the head by crossbow arrows and fell on the charging road.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
Shan Luo, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the power of the bed crossbow.
No wonder the previous sneak attack failed.
Facing such a sharp weapon, even if it is as powerful as Sanluo, he can't help but feel scared, "If I am shot, my whole body will be broken into two parts. Is there still life left?"
He immediately gave up the idea of charging personally and decided to just give it a try.
The remaining three octopus monsters continue to move forward.
When it was about to approach the city wall, the octopus monster took the initiative to attack. Its huge arms and legs swept down, and with just one blow, it shattered a bed crossbow at the top of the city.
"Well done!"
Seeing the octopus monster's meritorious service, Shan Luo was also very excited.
The other octopus monsters followed suit and focused on attacking the crossbows at the top of the city, vowing to destroy all these annoying things and avenge their kin.
"Hold on, don't panic!"
On top of the city, Fuzi Nuyingying was expressionless and said in a deep voice: "While the octopus monster is approaching, continue to aim at the octopus monster's head and shoot!"
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.
The octopus monster approached the city. Although it showed great power, it also exposed itself.
It depends on who can hold it steady.
But after all, in the face of such a behemoth as the octopus monster, which warrior can remain calm and composed? More than half of the crossbow arrows fired missed.
Only one more octopus monster was shot.
The crazy octopus monster would not give them a third chance to draw the bow and string. In an instant, all fifteen crossbows were destroyed.
Even the soldier responsible for operating the bed crossbow suffered heavy casualties.
"Ah yes~~~"
After destroying all the bed crossbows, the two remaining octopus monsters became even more unscrupulous. More than a dozen giant feet took turns to wreak havoc on the city, beating away warriors and civilians one after another.
The defenders at the top of the city immediately suffered heavy casualties.
To make matters worse, the attack of the octopus monster seriously interfered with the shooting of the crossbowmen and the civilians lifting stones, causing more and more murlocs to board the city.
Facing the murloc warriors, the city defenders were not afraid, but the civilians suffered another disaster.
It almost becomes a vicious cycle.
"good!"
Seeing that the situation was looking great, Shan Luo, who was watching the battle from a distance, was excited and immediately sent out all the Kraken warriors and tide monsters to launch a general attack on Chang'an.
She has even seen the dawn of the ruined city.
"Send the order!" On top of the city, the garrison commander Yue Fei was still expressionless, "Move the weapons and spearmen battalion of Shansha Mountain Brigade and go to the city immediately to assist in the battle!"
In addition to the crossbowmen, the garrison at the top of the city only had one spearman battalion and one coastal defense battalion.
The defense force is still too weak.
Yue Fei did not expect that the reserve team would be called into action so soon. This shows that before the war started, his prediction of the situation was still too optimistic.
The incoming sea tribe army is not only unprecedented in scale, but also has a killer weapon such as the octopus monster.
"promise!"
The messenger left quickly.
Tang Jing on the side was not idle either, he took out a spell scroll and tore it open.
"Explosive fireball!"
As Tang Jing chanted, a fireball the size of a head appeared out of thin air and flew towards the octopus monster. Under his control, it cleverly avoided the octopus monster's giant feet.
Accurately hit the octopus monster's head.
"boom!"
The explosive fireball exploded, directly blowing off half of the octopus monster's head, and the remaining half was burned to charcoal, exuding a disgusting barbecue smell.
"Ah yes~~~"
Seeing the tragic death of his companion, the remaining octopus monster was also shocked.
Unfortunately, although Tang Jing still had the spell scroll in his hand, his mana had been drained out, and the remaining octopus monster could only be dealt with by the defenders.
"My lord is mighty!!!"
Tu Hong looked excited when he saw the lord kill an octopus monster with just a raise of his hand.
Swinging the battle ax excitedly.
"My lord is mighty! My lord is mighty!"
The soldiers guarding the city, who had already fallen into chaos, were in high spirits at this moment and could not help but shout loudly. After sweeping away the previous depression, their morale rose again.
Just at this time, two battalions of the Shanshan Brigade had also arrived to support them.
The situation was finally stabilized.
"kill!!!"
Tu Hong even took action himself, slashing down with his battle ax and cutting off one of the octopus monster's giant legs in one fell swoop.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Tu Gang and other generals also looked enthusiastic, and the blood in their bodies seemed to start to burn.
"Well done!"
Seeing the defenders regrouping, Yue Fei, who was sitting in command, couldn't help but admire him, but the lord was nowhere to be seen. He didn't think much about it and immediately asked his soldiers to get the bows, bend the bows and set arrows, and hold his breath while concentrating.
at some point.
The sharp arrow shot through the air, and with good timing, it accurately avoided all the octopus monster's giant feet, and with a swish, hit the last octopus monster in the eye.
"Ah yes~~~"
The octopus monster's eyeballs were shot out, blue blood spurted out, and it suddenly fell into a state of madness.
"The general is mighty!"
The crossbowmen also reacted, aiming at the octopus monster's eyes and shooting sharp arrows in their hands.
The next moment.
The octopus monster's other eye was also shot out, making it completely blind and unable to cause trouble anymore.
"Damn it!"
In the blink of an eye, the two octopus monsters were killed and wounded one after another, and Sui Luo's face turned livid.
From the five-headed octopus monster attacking the city to the casualties one after another, it only took a few minutes. The situation changed so fast that even San Luo had no time to react.
Originally, we planned to have the octopus monster cooperate with the tidal monster.
"But it's not over yet..."
While the city guards were busy dealing with the octopus monsters and fish-men, the three thousand siren army had already led three huge tide monsters to the foot of the city wall.
