Chapter six hundred and forty-two intense gongs and drums
.
"Blow the charge horn immediately and raise the battle flag to massacre the city for me!" The furious Prince Cimmerian was like chewing a mouthful of soybeans, and his teeth were chattering as he spoke.
Once the city-slaughter battle flags are erected, it means that the soldiers have the right to loot and vent their anger after capturing the city. This kind of order has a certain effect on boosting morale, but the greater effect is undoubtedly to force the defenders to become more and more aggressive.
Death-defying.
"Future King, if you really still have sense, please don't give such ridiculous orders!" Prince Lineker grabbed his nephew's arm and growled with a livid face: "The sound has just been blown.
After blowing the retreat horn, and now blowing the charge horn, do you want the siege troops to trample on themselves?"
"Then what should we do now?" Instead of a few personal guards firmly blocking Prince Cimmerian, he must have drawn his sword and rushed towards the tower: "Uncle! Did you see there are several giant turtles?
We are almost close to the city wall! We will definitely capture this city!"
"Herald, listen to my order, raise the flag, let the front troops of the siege troops serve as the rear troops, retreat in an orderly manner, temporarily change the whale warriors and deep sea squid warriors into the supervising team, and maintain order first!" The Mermaid Marshal ignored it!
Simili said in a hurry
An, looked at the Mulan warriors who were still continuing to attack the city and gritted his teeth: "The turtle warriors are at the forefront of the siege troops anyway, so we might as well not retreat and let them fight with the Mulan warriors who don't understand the Hai Clan's orders.
Let’s perform our duties faithfully under this tower together!”
"No!" Prince Cimmerian shook off the pull of the guard, his nose almost touched Prince Lineker's nose, his eyes were sharp and confused: "Uncle, don't forget. I am the highest in this army now.
Chief! I want to continue attacking the city now!"
"As you wish! Herald, transfer 20,000 Mulan warriors and 20,000 turtle warriors from the reserve to form ten mixed teams of 4,000 people. Bring extra shields and continue to launch a wave-style siege for me. Every death
Once one batch is filled in, another batch will be filled in without any pauses.
, but we are not allowed to swarm them!" The Mermaid Marshal sneered and issued the task of dispatching troops and punishing generals. While saying this, he tilted his head at Prince Cimmerian: "Future King, these soldiers are all because of your order.
Damn it, you better remember this!"
"You are a coward! You traitor! Do you want to escape before the battle?" Prince Cimmerian drew out his sword and tried to put it on the neck of the mermaid general, but the sword was quickly knocked away by the guards of His Royal Highness.
All of a sudden, the clanging sound of swords being unsheathed could be heard, and the two guards of the mermaid royal family showed their weapons and stared at each other eagerly.
"Cimilian, there are no cowards and warriors on the battlefield. There are only stupid commanders and wise generals! From now on, I have deprived you of your supreme leadership. This is your father. That is what we share.
His Majesty Emperor Beckenbauer gave me a secret edict before he left. I hope you can still read even though you are now unconscious!" Shan
Prince Huding took out a beautiful clam shell, flashed it gently in front of the dull-eyed Cimilian, and forced it into the hands of the mermaid prince: "I will prepare the next siege plan now.
, I hope you can give me some peace of mind before this happens. If I put you under house arrest, then all of us will lose our dignity!"
"Sign up the flag and notify the officers to slowly withdraw to the rear in order. If anyone disobeys the order, kill him! If anyone runs wildly, kill him! If anyone incites military morale, kill him! If anyone spreads false rumors, kill him!" Mermaid Marshal
Posted coldly
An order was given: "Tanqi, immediately return to the barracks to mobilize manpower to check the losses, and report back as soon as there is any news! Soldiers from the school, seahorse military police, return to the barracks and get me the heads of the guarding generals, sirens, mermaids, and Mulan.
Not a single particle is missing!”
Prince Abdullah and Prince Cimmerian were so stimulated by this series of bloody orders that they shuddered and murmured, opening their lips and not daring to say anything more.
Three hours!
Because of Cimmerian's persistence and Prince Lineker's compromise, the 40,000 warriors in the reserve team plus the previous 40,000 Turtle warriors and Mulan warriors, a total of 80,000 Haimu coalition forces, were threatened by the butcher's knife of the supervising team.
Next, they launched a desperate attack on Wetherspoon's South Gate for three hours without stopping!
They don't have any long-range fire cover, because the Shaole archers and the mixed mage group have retreated; they don't have any siege equipment, because every giant turtle will mysteriously disappear in the air after approaching the city wall; they have
The only way to climb the city wall is by climbing the Arhat Ladder or using flying grapples and hook ropes. There is almost no possibility of success in doing so, because this means that the Behemoth defenders can completely reach out of the wall stacks and use the hot asphalt and heavy ash wood to climb the city wall.
Rolling stones hit their heads.
Of the eight thousand commanders, only Turtle General Duscher was the only one who finally retreated alive.
Because they wore exquisite armor inlaid with turquoise and held gold-plated Damascus scimitars, the four Mulan Pashas, like all the flag officers, were shot by dozens of sharp arrows during the charge.
Became a cactus, Behemoth Archer appeared
Although they all used heavy-duty armor-piercing arrows with extremely high range, although the four Mulan Pashas with superior martial arts were protected by hard full-body armor, they had to accept this humiliation on a crowded battlefield that lacked room to move.
Way to die...
As for the other three turtles, which were ten thousand long, they were all drowned by the overwhelming magic. In the end, only three turtle shells were left, which were beaten like a sieve, and the other body trunks were completely gone...
The black arrow waterfall covering the sky...
The magic that is as fierce as the grinning god of death...
The brave shouts of the Haimu soldiers were immediately choked by stinky turtle eggs under the devastating blow. They slumped to the ground in pain, and were crushed into mud by the charging steps of their comrades.
Even the heavy rain at sea was not so intense that it was almost crazy. The howls and screams covered up the fighting spirit of the charge, and also extinguished the dream of getting promoted to a high position and becoming a successful person. A clear line of death was sprinkled with Haimu.
The unwilling tears and blood of the warriors and the violent blows drowned the souls of countless brave men.
"This is not fair! This is not fair!" When the horn of retreat finally sounded like the sound of nature, Turtle General Duscher followed the ebbing tide of people and the first thing he did was to kneel down on the ground of the two mermaid kings with blood-red eyes.
In front of me, tears couldn't help but burst out: "Your Highness the Prince! Your Highness the Prince! We are so miserable...nothing...nothing...why don't we even have the slightest bit of cover...wuwu..."
"Look at your potential!" The joints of Prince Lineker's right hand holding the hilt of the sword have turned blue and white. His expression is even more frightening. He really wants to kill this senior officer who disturbs the morale of the army with one sword, but he
He also understood that the reason why the siege failed so miserably was that the soldiers could not be blamed for not being brave enough.
Turtle General Duschel fell to the ground and cried like a child. The white shell shield filled with arrows was firmly tied on his left hand. As for the warhammer in his right hand, he had already lost it.
Mulan coach Prince Abdullah and Prince Cimilian are like two solidified marble statues, looking at the flaming base camp in the distance with their eyes, and the steaming fire clouds are like fluttering butterflies.
, stretching and curling up in the air.
Even though we are so far apart, we can still feel the scorching heat. Countless ant-like figures in the camp are working in vain around the unattainable fire. The dim clouds on the horizon are stained by the huge fire.
A layer of enchanting red light.
Such a big fire cannot be extinguished...
The wood that was transported here with so much painstaking effort is all gone...
Food and supplies are also gone, and the fire is spreading to the east side of the camp...
"What's going on...Why can Beamon set fire to our camp..." Prince Cimmerian seemed to be asking others, but also seemed to be asking himself; he witnessed 80,000 Haimu warriors rushing to Weiser.
Under Spang City, he was slaughtered wantonly by the Behemoth defenders on the wall above. He finally regained his consciousness and sanity. Now Cimmerian was like a koi whose bones had been removed, and his weak tone was full of panic.
and confusion.
"Cimilian, don't think about these unnecessary questions. As long as the "Avril Tower" is delivered, we will definitely win this city tonight!" Marshal Lineker, who has spent his life in the military, knows that now the most critical moment has come.
At this time, the three armies can seize the commander, but the fighting spirit and morale of the soldiers cannot be taken away. If they pay such heavy casualties, even the oily skin of this city will not be hurt. For the Haimu coalition, the consequences are really unimaginable.
When he heard the name "Avril Tower", Cimilian's eyes were originally distracted, as if he had taken a "death pill", but his infinite fanaticism returned again.
"Duscher! Get up, you still look like a general!" Prince Lineker kicked the crying turtle general: "Pull out the arrows on your shield, okay?"
If you're injured, call the Dolphin Medical Officer and Mulan Jackets. If you're not injured, go back to the army and reorganize the personnel!"
"Your Highness, we now have no wood to make siege equipment... There are no trees in the Danube Wasteland... Next..." Mulan coach Prince Abdullah shuddered as he spoke, and there was a wound on his neck.
There were a lot of goosebumps: ...and our food..."
"Don't be afraid! It's just that we don't have enough supplies. The other three legions still have supplies for about ten days. Let's temporarily allocate a batch of them for emergency response! We in Siya have already let the fish driven by the herdsmen from the entire West Sea enter Sanggan
River, just in case!" The Mermaid Marshal continued to publish calmly
Order: "Cimilian, you immediately send giant turtles from the other three armies to transport a batch of supplies. First, feed the soldiers. Everyone is tired now. It's time to save some strength! In addition, you can send two more
One hundred thousand Haimu warriors, along with giant dragon turtles from three other legions, went to the Sanggan River overnight to fetch fish!"
"What about the wood?" Prince Cimmerian no longer dared to overstep his authority and asked submissively: "Should we... stop for a while... send someone to cut down some trees at the foot of the snow-capped mountains...
Just rushing like this...I'm afraid that even with the "Avril Tower"...the losses will be huge..."
"You know now that you feel sorry for the casualties? Then why did you just give the order to continue the siege? Do the warriors of our main battle race are cannon fodder in your eyes?" After the mermaid marshal taught His Highness the prince, he turned around coldly.
He turned around and said to Prince Abdullah: "Your Highness, now I have to trouble you to send a camel rider to Witherspoon to pick up the corpses of some coalition soldiers. I need to study the enemy's weapons again."
Prince Abdullah nodded quickly and hurriedly followed Prince Coral Top's instructions one by one.
"It's time for your magicians and priests to be exhausted, right? Beamon, why do you no longer feel like Beamon to me?" The mermaid general stared at the brightly lit Witherspoon, this sinful city.
And the unexpected fierce resistance deeply shocked the Coral Top Prince; especially the other party's mage.
and the sacrifice, actually survived the fiercest period of the battle, always maintaining high-intensity fire coverage. Although the wave-like four thousand people took turns charging later, they never saw the grand occasion of collective fire, but this level of continuous combat capability
The appearance of it on an elemental combat unit still left Prince Lineker speechless.
If spending so much cannon fodder still fails to deplete the opponent's elemental reserves, that would be terrible!
Prince Lineker really regrets it now. Before attacking the land, everyone in the Sea Tribe looked down upon the strength of the Behemoth Kingdom. His Majesty Beckenbauer transferred all four border guard armies to the battlefield of the Aegean attack.
, but most of the soldiers given to the Danube Continent are rookies who have never been on the battlefield. They have never seen blood and have never been on the battlefield. Even the soldiers who have trained hard can only be regarded as rookies...
How does the Behemoth Kingdom in front of us still look like a belly that is being slaughtered by others? You don’t need to ask to know that there is absolutely no city in the Aegean that is known as the most powerful human being that has ever resisted like this.
So unfortunate…
In the era of the war between gods and demons ten thousand years ago and the last sea and land war, there were no tall and fortified cities of the scale we are seeing now...
A thousand years ago, in the Battle of Haijal, humans defeated Beamon on a frontal battlefield. At that time, Beamon did not bother to defend at all...
It was that uprooted defeat that made Beamon, who used to be proud of the world and advocated open fire fighting, now curb his pride and abandon his former airs. He began to learn to rely on the terrain and carry out passive defense honestly.
How could such a warrior, coupled with the damn natural vegetation and solid cities of the Danube Wasteland, have happened to him? Prince Lineker pinched his brows in pain.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! It's not good! It's not good! Important news has been sent from the Northwest Army!" A manta ray cavalry rushed to the side of the coral top prince in a panic. He gingerly handed a piece of shell leaf to the coral.
Your Majesty, long-distance communication equipment and portable magic teleportation arrays are extremely rare in the Sea Clan, and are only equipped among legion-level units. This shell is a magical communication tool similar to flame text messages.
After just glancing at the message written on the shell page, the mermaid marshal's face turned pale, and the shell page slipped silently from his fingertips and fell to pieces on the ground.
On the tower of Witherspoon South Gate, Liu Zhenshao was also watching the Mermaid Marshal with a bronze telescope.
He had long heard Avril mention the four Coral Top Princes who guarded the sea territory of West Yahai Kingdom.
The real soul of the Heimu coalition surrounding Witherspoon must be this mermaid with extraordinary temperament and a red coral crown, not Cimilian, a young idiot with a straight mustache.
, looks very handsome, looking like a handsome version of Stalin or a young version of Lu Xun.
The realm of golden arm and iron horse...
Vacuum barrier field enchantment...
Salt gathering attack field enchantment...
High temperature and scorching field barrier...
Which realm enchantment are you? And for those mermaids who are not part of the family tree, what is the realm enchantment that you can't use in the sea but can show great power on land? Liu Zhenzhen turned his gaze from
The mermaid marshal's body extends to more than a hundred West Asian mermaids of different heights.
It was precisely because of the existence of these mermaids and the orderly retreat of the Haimu Allied Mage Group that Liu Zhenshao did not pursue the Imam Mulan who was about to release the forbidden curse...
Of course, this was because the other party was more sensible and interrupted the chanting of the forbidden mantra on his own.
Behemoth's generals are not made of wood. In the unfavorable situation without long-range firepower and siege equipment, the Haimu coalition still carried out a wave-like suicide attack for three consecutive hours. This clearly wants to use cannon fodder to consume.
Between the elemental power of the priest and the magician, who would be stupid enough to use precious elemental attacks to destroy the opponent's cannon fodder?
Mulan warriors and turtle warriors were not octopus warriors, but no matter how strong their bodies were, they could not climb Witherspoon's 25-meter-high city wall by relying on a few broken ropes without cover.
The opponent's real main battle elite units did not suffer too much losses because they withdrew relatively quickly. Lao Liu knew that the fiercest battle was far away, and these Heimu coalition forces would not suffer such a big loss in vain without retaliating.
land.
Witherspoon also had a large reserve team. These three hours of continuous attacks not only did not damage Beamon's fur, but also exercised the courage of many new recruits through actual combat. It was a great help to Beamon.
"Your Majesty." General Reyes patted Old Liu's shoulder gently and handed over a bag of water with a smile: "It's been a long time since the fight. I asked the civilians in the city to organize a reward regiment. I'll do it later.
Let the Summer Palace guards have something to eat, although our food may not be as exquisite as Fei Lengcui's."
"You are too polite, my Lord General." Liu Zhancheng took the water bag made from the bladder of the Yasha beast, raised his head and drank several sips of water. He fought continuously for three hours, and he did
I'm a little thirsty.
"How come such cold water comes from such a hot day?" Liu Zhencheng wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth and looked at the water bag curiously. Then he asked again: "By the way, Reyes, there are three towers in the east, west and north.
What's the situation like? Are there any casualties?"
"Witherspoon had dug countless wells a few months ago. He was afraid of the siege. This water is well water, so of course it will be refreshing and delicious to drink now." The general of the Fox tribe took Lao Liu and gave it to him.
The water bag, like a big boss, didn’t even wipe the mouth of the water bag, and poured several sips down his throat, and it was full.
He exhaled a long breath: "Your Majesty, please rest assured! Of the remaining three towers, one is commanded and defended by General Eriksson of the Southern Province. One is commanded by General Erwin of the Southeast Province, and the other one is commanded by General Erwin of the Southeast Province.
General Jorge Pinto, Chief of General Staff of the Military Department, is in charge of commanding our preparations.
The team was well arranged. The enemy used wheel fighting, and we also took turns. Not long ago, His Majesty the King brought some masters of the guards from Shabak to Witherspoon and joined the defense of the west gate. These enemies did not cause us any harm at all.
Trouble! There are very few enemy troops who can climb the city wall, and they are all defeated by me.
They were quickly defeated! The south gate is the most important tower. As long as this tower can be saved, other towers are not a problem at all! Because the Haimu coalition that attacked the other three walls didn't even have mages or archers. Really,
Rushing naked. You can also defeat Witherspoon this way, which is really like seeing the undead!"
"Now you can feel more at ease, because I have destroyed all the wood that the enemy can use to make siege equipment." Liu Zhensha laughed loudly: "Where are your Majesty's people? Are they still at the west gate? I have been worried that our threat
Therspoon fought so fiercely and His Majesty the King was nowhere to be seen, which means that a large-scale siege may have broken out in the royal capital. Once he comes, I am completely relieved."
"Your Majesty must have been having a pleasant chat with Elder Andulan in the West City." General Reyes raised his foot to pass two vassal engineers with baskets of soil, and smiled at Lao Liu: "A while ago, An
Elder Dulan brought about 500 Kuo Tao mermaids and Mrs. Ruorna. When Anreda arrived at Witherspoon, she happened to meet His Majesty in the city.
Then they all went to the west gate together. You may not know that there were relatively few sea tribes attacking the west gate. Basically, they were all Mulan soldiers, who were relatively tougher. I must praise you. My Majesty, Elder Andulan brought this to you.
These two magical beasts brought by Kuo Tao Mermaid and Anruida have added a powerful amount of magical firepower to our city defense system!"
Liu Zhensha was really dumbfounded. How could the water arrows of the Kuo Tao mermaids be considered powerful? It’s not that the Mulan people don’t have steel armor, it’s not that Ximen doesn’t have the other side’s mages and archers, these Kuo Tao mermaids are nothing like that!
"Pack up the ordnance!" Seeing that the enemy had no intention of attacking again, Chief of Staff Robbie gave the order, and all the Summer Palace guards took off their armor and put it on the ground with a bang, and took off the ostrich tails from their helmets.
He wiped the bloodstains on his body with velvet. These bloodstains with minced meat were blown up to the tower by magic, just like sunlight filtering through the shade of trees.
"Everyone, please bear with us, and we will pay you as appropriate later!" Nedved politely clapped his hands to the vassal warriors who were carrying earth to the city to strengthen the root systems of ancient war trees and gravity pulse citron trees.
: "The soil is almost there, now bring the water and give some water to the plants!"
"Ming Yao, come here!" Liu Zhenshao waved to the tallest and strongest Buddha giant: "How are Helen and Nevin Erink doing now?"
"The boss lady is fine at all. She just received the spiritual transmission from the demon pet. Now she is taking care of Nai... Nai... Nai... what is Nai?" Ming Yao was holding the sharp-edged convenience shovel while looking around.
Look, there are wounded soldiers. "That big guy has been poisoned by a highly addictive toxin. We have just treated him with the Boiling Blood Prayer. He is now sleeping. He will probably be in trouble when he wakes up."
"Bloody Mary." Liu Zhenzhen sneered: "The fallen elves seem to be really brave. They actually want to control a leader of the underworld. I rely on all of them women..."
"Your Majesty, do you want to go and see His Majesty first? It is said that His Majesty has a big happy event to tell you!" General Reyes interrupted Lao Liu with a smile: "Our enemies are reorganizing now. It doesn't look like they have any plans.
Returning to the base camp means a truce. I think they will most likely attack the city again later. If Your Majesty has to arrange military affairs and is unable to get away, I will go and invite His Majesty the King over now..."
"Oh...it seems I really can't get away." Old Liu saw His Highness Tang Zang and a group of guards ascending the tower from the stone ridge, and he opened his arms to welcome him.
"War is a waste of money. I have brought five thousand pills, which can be fully replenished by water." His Highness the Fifth Prince enthusiastically responded to Old Liu's hug: "My good brother, I heard that you have an excellent magic beast finger.
Give it to me, I quickly reported it to His Majesty the Emperor and rushed here non-stop!"
"Dong Wu, if you come to help this time, you are not going to play the trick of hiding your power and hiding your strength, are you? Witherspoon's enemies are not as exaggerated as last time in the Southern Cross Forest!" Old Liu
He glanced at the men and horses brought by Prince Tang Zang and found that except for a Dinghu Immortal Master of the Wine Department, the rest were actually Shen Yi's hands carrying a gold-painted Suzaku bow, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Aren't we busy letting those fools and fools go to the devil world? Tang Zang's court mages have all gone to guard the formation! It's not that I don't want to help this time, but money is really tight, so I have to send the Jade Emperor and others away safely first."
His Highness Five saw what Lao Liu was thinking and quickly explained.
"Okay, I will take you to the city to see what kind of large fantasy beast I am looking for for you! But you have to catch this thing yourself. I only introduce it, but I don't care about delivering it to your door." Liu Zhenshao.
He called a young priest and patted His Highness the Fifth Prince on the shoulder: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. You will definitely have to transfer people from China."
"It doesn't matter. With our small manpower, we should have no problem catching a few mythical beasts that do not have the ability to attack with magic." His Majesty the Fifth Prince grabbed Old Liu's arm with a playful smile: "Brother Richard, there is something our Majesty is urgent about.
Let me ask you, when exactly did you help our Tang and Tibetan Empire to safely turn the "bearded guest" Archmage into a golden immortal?"
"It's almost time, don't be impatient!" Liu Zhencheng was just about to take the Fifth Prince of Tang and Zang to the city, when he saw countless Sea Clan warriors pushing a tall black figure toward Witherspoon in the fiery red light on the horizon.
He came and quickly put the bronze telescope on his eyes.
An iron tower? Liu Zhenzhen raised his eyes strangely. Could this be the secret weapon of the Hai Clan?
Since I started writing Beast Blood, I have designed the natural environment of the Danube Wilderness to take advantage of it.
Metal-rich soil can only grow specific types of weeds and cannot grow large-scale vegetation.
This not only caused Bee to suffer, but also prevented the intruders from taking advantage.
So don’t look at it and feel that it is useless now, let alone 1.4 million, or 14 million troops without siege equipment and sufficient suppressive firepower are simply useless in front of a large city that has long been prepared for war and has rich strategic reserves.
to any benefit.
To be honest, if you gave me a rope and asked me to climb the 25-meter-high city wall, I wouldn't be able to climb it even if there were no rolling stones and trees hitting me...
Ten years ago, I might have been able to climb up, but once I got up there, let alone wielding a knife, I would have to gasp for air for a long time... The embarrassment of the Haimu Alliance was similar to mine...
In the next battle, Behemoth will have another war song that spans the ages. But it does not come from Liu Zhen. Heroes should emerge in an endless stream... Not only humans, Behemoth also has talents.
