A siege battle has begun, and the strange people of the Chu army have really played their role. The enclosed chariot designed by the Mohist organist is the first to be dispatched. The war horses are also armed with armor, which can withstand the attack of feather arrows.
Seeing more than a hundred chariots rushing to the bottom of the city tower, the soldiers quickly set up ladders, climbing up with steel knives in their mouths, as agile as apes, and their faces were ferocious, comparable to desperadoes.
Arrows were of little use against these people who were clinging to the city wall, so the officers and soldiers of the Yan State on the city used stones, passing them one by one and smashing them down.
Stones weighing dozens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms fell on the ladder. The Chu soldiers screamed when they were hit, and their heads were broken and blood flowed. Some people fell down one after another. However, there was no way out. They could only keep crawling up, as if they were passing by.
The pawns of the river can only move forward but cannot retreat.
The Chu army had countermeasures. They heard General Zhu Yan say in a deep voice: "The giant wood beasts are out!" The officers and soldiers behind moved to both sides, revealing five strange behemoths, but they were covered with giant king insects.
A large area of iron armor completely blocked the body, and a six-foot-thick log was tied to an iron chain on the back. Several trainers stood behind them, blocking themselves with shields. They squatted on the back of the king insect, blowing whistles in their mouths.
Attack signal.
The giant king insect dragged its body forward, covered in iron armor like a giant beast from ancient times. It roared from time to time and looked extremely weird.
Another round of feather arrows from the city tower shot downwards, and the sound of fighting was heard. Many feather arrows landed on the logs, but they were unable to penetrate the iron armor and damaged the king insect, which made the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom heartbroken.
There was anxiety inside, and someone said angrily: "It's not good. If these monsters come under the city gate, they will hit them with brute force. I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop them."
Everyone could see that the Chu army was well prepared. The logs on the backs of these giant beasts were specially designed to hit the city gates. They were more powerful than human power and should not be underestimated.
Especially the king insect is wrapped in iron armor, making it difficult for arrows to damage it. What should we do? We are really going to be in crisis!
Generalissimo Qiu Yu also frowned, but he had an idea and said: "Where is the badger captain, let him come over quickly."
The oral message was passed on, and after a while, a figure ran over quickly. It was a guy with a human body and a badger head. He was holding a steel hook. He stopped in front of him and asked hurriedly: "What are your orders, Marshal?"
Qiu Yu has a special team under his command, which is composed of many orc warriors. They are not only brave and good at fighting, but also have unique skills. They used to live in the deep mountains and forests for many years, living a life of hunger and cold. Now they follow him out, and they are like
After becoming a regular army, at least he had enough meat to eat, so the orcs became loyal to him, participating in battles one after another and performing certain complex tasks.
Now Qiu Yu was about to activate the badger unit again. He pointed at the giant beast crawling towards the tower and gave a few simple instructions to the badger captain. The guy nodded in understanding and left in a hurry.
Although the King Insect is good at carrying heavy loads and can easily carry giant trees forward, the iron armor wrapped around it is extremely thick and is specially designed to block arrows and stones. It is too heavy, and the speed is not fast and stable.
Moving forward, it will take some time to reach the city gate.
In the past, officers and soldiers carried huge trees and rushed forward, which was much more dangerous. They often suffered many casualties before they even got close. However, the five-headed king insect was wrapped very tightly, and the armor was one foot thick, even if the arrow was powerful.
It couldn't be penetrated, so I crawled without stopping.
The animal trainers above were not only covered in robes, but also used specially made shields, which were clasped around their bodies like large iron pots. They squatted and let the arrows rain down, hitting the shields and making continuous sounds.
But he was unscathed and not in danger.
The officers and soldiers of the Chu State in the back were always paying close attention, watching the king insects getting closer and closer to the city gate, from fifty feet to twenty feet, ten feet, and even five feet. They were almost close to the target, and everyone couldn't bear it.
He cheered loudly and shouted excitedly.
"Okay, the giant beast is mighty..."
"Hurry up and breach the city gate!"
The giant king bug has considerable brute strength. It can carry a giant log on its back like a siege machine. Maybe one of them cannot succeed, but if five giant king bugs hit it at the same time, do you still have to worry about the city gate not being able to open?
Zhu Yan became more and more excited, with an uncontrollable smile flashing in his eyes. Next to him, Ji Xue also smiled and said sweetly: "As long as the giant beast comes close, the city gate will be broken, and the cavalry can rush up and charge into the formation.
We don’t have as many officers and soldiers as we do, so it’s only a matter of time before the entire city is wiped out with blood, and the generalissimo will soon make great military exploits and become famous far and wide.”
"Thanks to Mr. Mo's ingenious plan and the beast armor refined by Mr. Hao, the king insect has such defensive capabilities!" Zhu Yan praised sincerely.
Mo Xuanzi and senior weapon refiner Hao Lao both looked complacent, but they were old men, so naturally they wanted to flatter the Crown Prince, and they rushed to flatter His Highness the Crown Prince, saying that the Generalissimo was like a god with his troops, and that he was better than
Qiu Yu's thief was a hundred times stronger, which made Zhu Yan extremely happy and beaming.
However, the almost shrill scream of the giant king insect came from the front, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [ […
But he saw that the giant king insect at the front was very close to the city gate, only about two feet away, but it stopped and twisted its body crazily, as if it had been hit hard, but no enemy was seen.
Then, several other giant king insects were in the same state. They stopped moving forward, roaring angrily, their huge bodies twisting in pain, and bright red blood stains appeared on the ground.
Sorahu, who has the title of the King of Beasts, is extremely skilled in cultivation. His uniquely colored ring eyes are widened, but his pupils are narrowed and focused. He stares into the distance and loses his voice: "No, the giant beasts are under attack."
Yes, from the underground..."
What this guy said is true. The king bugs were indeed attacked from below. The culprits were hundreds of badger warriors. They were good at traveling underground. They were all armed with sharp spears and came at the fastest speed. According to the tremors of the soil,
And a keen sense of smell to find the exact location of the target, and then stab it upward directly with the spear.
The weakest part of the giant beasts happens to be the abdomen. There is no iron armor to cover it, and the leather is not as tough as the back and sides, so it cannot withstand the spears coming from below. Each king insect is hit by more than ten spears.
After being stabbed, blood spurted out, and he couldn't move forward, so he could only resist with all his strength.
Unexpectedly, these giant beasts belong to the low-level, but are good at carrying heavy loads. Moreover, how can they resist being pressed by giant logs and iron armor, that is, twisting their bodies like fish on a chopping board.
The badger warriors smelled the smell of blood and became more ferocious. They were underground and pulled out their spears and stabbed again, causing the king insects to fall sideways and dying. Some badger warriors failed to pull out their spears in time.
The whole person was brought out, like a radish pulled out, still with hair on it.
