Chapter 564: Kill the enemy quietly, don’t let the cannon go!
"General, open fire while the blood monster is eating, otherwise there will be more of them later!"
"Yes, although the distance is a bit far, we have buried a lot of flammable materials in advance. As soon as the cannon is fired, a large area will be burned!"
"Order, fire!"
The soldiers looked at the endless bloody feast, their faces pale. Even the veterans had never seen this scene, and they all shouted to fire in advance.
"Command the artillery to prepare!" Baimu Qingfu's throat was dry. Although he had experienced blood tides, this was the first time he had seen such a large blood tide at such a close distance.
It has only been ten minutes since the beginning, but so many people have gathered. If we wait any longer, won’t it quickly reach millions?
Especially among the group of blood monsters, a dozen or so large blood monsters about 20 meters high stood out like chickens standing out from the crowd.
These are all of level seven or above, so we can’t wait any longer!
"Wait a minute, don't fire yet!"
Just when Baimu Qingfu was about to give the order to fire, a figure suddenly flew up to the city from behind.
"General Chi You, where have you been? I haven't seen you for a long time?" Baimu Qingfu looked happy, it turned out to be Chi You.
"The general is here!"
"That's great. With the general here, we feel at ease!"
As the eighth-level powerhouse on the Langya Ming Dynasty and the only flagpole, Chi You's arrival reassured the soldiers on the battlefield.
"There was something wrong with the practice just now. Don't make too much noise first. Use cold weapons to fight against the enemy!" The golden body of the Overlord waved his hand, his aura erratic.
There was something wrong with his practice. He was beaten to a pulp and his soul was injured.
As the level of the Overlord's golden body becomes higher and higher, once it is destroyed, the main body will suffer greater damage.
However, the war was intense and there was no time to delay. Li Wenhao couldn't afford to rest. He had a splitting headache and forced himself to condense again.
At this time, let alone going to the front line, it was very good for him to be able to sit in the tent without fainting.
"Hoho, hiss!"
Soon, tens of thousands of corpses were devoured by the blood monster group, and even some injured blood monsters were bitten to death and devoured.
At the same time, the number of blood monsters around the cracks had reached millions, and they began to surge towards the surrounding areas like a tide.
"The whole army obeys the order and is not allowed to fire cannons. It can only fight with cold weapons!"
"Why don't you let the cannon fire? Such a dense group of blood monsters is perfect for cannons!"
"Yes, even if you don't fire the cannon, you can always light the fire. Otherwise, the arrangement will be in vain?"
Baimu Qingfu had no choice but to give the order according to the instructions of the Overlord Golden Body. The officers of the three artillery battalions who had already prepared were dumbfounded. Even the ordinary infantry and archers looked puzzled.
You have prepared so much before, but you are not allowed to use it?
Fortunately, the Langya Army's discipline was strict, and the reputation of the eighth-level Chi You was also very intimidating. No one dared to fire despite the blood surge.
"Start the battle formation!"
Along the semicircular city wall, there are ten golden armor battle formations in the middle, and thirty black devil battle formations on each side. A total of seventy battle formations are being opened one after another.
A total of 40,000 fire spirits set up their bows and drew arrows. Countless arrows flew out like raindrops, and a large chunk of the running blood monster fell instantly.
Among them, ten thousand fire spirits were the harvest from yesterday.
"Use trebuchets and bed crossbows, you guys spread out and intercept the blood monsters above level six!"
The Overlord's Golden Body had a sullen face and did not explain. While turning off the system prompts, he released the big man and stared at a group of high-level blood monsters appearing in front of him.
Within the system, information about explosive things flooded the screen, and piles of supplies and elixirs appeared out of thin air.
"Obey the order!" Baimu Qingfu, with flaming blood and green light, together with five seventh-level fire spirits and more than fifty sixth-level fire spirits, scattered and set up defenses along the city wall.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz," trebuchets, crossbows, and arrows kept falling, and the blood monster roared and charged.
Soldiers versus soldiers, generals versus generals, the front line that needs to be defended is too long, and the limited battle formation phantom can only stop large groups of ordinary blood monsters.
Some high-level blood monsters are more clever. They hide behind ordinary blood monsters to avoid arrows, pass through the gaps between the phantoms of the battle formation, and break through the defense line.
However, the city walls and boulders more than 20 meters high can only slow down the blood monster for a while at most, and it is impossible to block it.
Especially high-level blood monsters, which are generally more than seven or eight meters tall. Their thick thighs are strong and powerful, and they can jump to the top of the city with a single bounce.
At this time, we can only rely on high-level warriors to stop him!
"Thousands of birds!"
The Overlord's golden body waved with one hand, and a giant flaming bird flew out and swept across the area.
"Ho ho ho!"
As Li Wenhao's pet, the big Minotaur wears a golden vest engraved with the three-legged crow logo.
Staring with big green eyes, he looked at the crowds of similar creatures under the city, roared excitedly, killed a sixth-level creature with one claw, took out its heart and stuffed it into his mouth.
"What are you going to eat? Eat after you finish the fight. The vest I just made for you is stained!" Overlord Golden Body cursed angrily and turned to kill a seventh-level blood monster.
"Ho ho!" The big man roared unconvinced and wiped his golden armor with his big paws.
The protective effect of this thing is not great, it is mainly for eye-catching, so as to avoid being accidentally injured by one of your own.
"Stop being so mean, don't you like to recruit younger brothers? These are all wild monsters without owners, you can recruit them as you like!" Overlord Golden Body greeted the big man, then ignored it and allowed it to do its best.
Last time I killed the blood monster that the big man subdued, and this guy had a bad temper with him for a few days.
He was suspended above the city, observing the entire battle situation.
The blood monster can't shoot arrows, so you don't have to worry about being targeted.
At a glance, the situation on the battlefield looked good. Although there were casualties, they were not many.
The soldiers had abundant physical and spiritual energy, and with the blessing of the legion's skillful killing halo, they could barely hold the line of defense.
But this is by no means a long-term solution. A warrior's spiritual power is always limited. Facing the endless tide of blood monsters, it will soon be exhausted.
He is betting now that the suspected tenth-level super blood monster king has wisdom that is not weaker than that of humans and can command the blood monster group.
Now it depends on Linhai County, which is closest to the Blood Monster King, or here, to attract the Blood Monster King's attention first.
"I have spent so much effort to lure you here, but I must not lose the chain?"
The golden body of the Overlord stared at the western sky, feeling very anxious.
"Plop," there was a sound, and the body of a sixth-level blood monster fell to the ground. Baimu Qingfu flew over panting: "Your Highness, let's order the gunfire. If this continues, the casualties will be too great!"
"Don't be anxious, wait a little longer, things will change!"
The Overlord Golden Body refused with a cold face. He would rather sacrifice more now than lure the Blood Monster King over.
How many lives would it take to kill a suspected tenth-level blood monster?
According to ancient book records, in the ancient battle, a total of five ninth-level human coalition forces, with more than two million elites, besieged a lone tenth-level tauren.
In the end, only three ninth-level soldiers and less than 500,000 remaining soldiers were left dead.
Langya can't afford such a price, nor can he afford it!
If it really gets to that point, he can only run away with his people, and he can run as many as he can.
As for how many people would die tragically, or even what would be left in the entire Central Plains after the blood tide subsided, he didn't dare to think.
"General, what are you waiting for?" Baimu Qingfu was extremely anxious. Those on the front line now were his Golden Crow Army.
He has only been the commander of the army for a few days and has suffered heavy casualties. How can he have the dignity to continue?
