"So that's it." Fang Zhen understood a little bit. Is this the reason why the big demon is not dead yet?
Yes, if thousands of crossbows are fired at once, no matter how strong they are, they will die.
But if he dies, the clue will be lost.
Is there really any way to make it easy for the big demon to enter the capital? If this one dies, there will be a second and third one in the future... Even with this round of arrests, the next time the big demon comes will be lurking, making it harder to detect.
Already.
Regardless of the fact that everything is under control now, we have found clues and are under siege. If we don't find out what the big demon is really going to do, who can defend it?
This is why even though Fang Zhen disdains Luo Jiang, the imperial court actually both coaxes and suppresses warriors.
The common man's wrath, blood splattering five steps, is really the most important thing!
After thinking about this, Fang Zhen no longer objected, but stood beside Eunuch Zhao and looked at the figures in the encirclement.
The armor soldiers are now adopting the tactics of "encirclement and killing", constantly consuming the power of the demon. Even if the demon can release demon fire, when the manpower is exhausted, the power of the demon will naturally be the same.
Use the human sea tactic to survive until it loses its strength, and then you can capture it.
As for the number of casualties, well, the sacrifice of the lower-ranking ones is an honor for them!
"Eunuch, if this monster breaks out..." Seeing the figures inside fighting continuously and not stopping yet, and the trapped circle of Taoist magic has dimmed, Fang Zhen tensed up and looked at Eunuch Zhao.
Eunuch Zhao immediately looked at a Taoist, and the Taoist immediately said: "The poor Taoist has distributed the talismans to the soldiers."
This is to prevent breakouts, and carrying talismans can play a certain defensive role.
Fang Zhen also glanced at this man, but he always felt uneasy in his heart.
Eunuch Zhao seemed to have noticed it and comforted him: "Don't worry, little Marquis, with these preparations, this monster will be captured."
"Yes, I just feel that..."
As soon as he finished speaking, seeing that the man was only a few hundred meters away from the city wall but still unable to get past, he suddenly raised his head and roared.
This sound, although not very sharp, is very penetrating.
At this time, not only Fang Zhen, but also Eunuch Zhao and the Taoist's expressions changed.
"No, it has changed!" Sensing the demonic power of this sound, the Taoist screamed.
Although it has been running away, it is obvious that this time it is different from before.
But even if someone reminded them, everyone was on guard against this big monster using special methods to break out. No one expected that a team would suddenly break out from a quiet house.
There were not many people in this team, only about a hundred people. They all poured out at once, all wearing armor and covered with thick evil aura. Their bright red eyes flashed dimly in the middle of the night.
Fang Zhen was shocked, and a chill emerged in his heart: "How is it possible, how is it possible, that there are hundreds of soldiers rebelling in the capital?"
In recent years, the emperor has tightened control, and there should have been no hidden dangers in the army.
Before the idea came to fruition, I heard only one voice: "Kill!"
"Boom!" In the blink of an eye, with a flash of cold light, they rushed into the ranks of Imperial City's armored soldiers. In an instant, more than a dozen armored soldiers splattered with blood and fell to the surroundings!
I saw that these people were full of ferocity and fearless of death. The armored soldiers of the Imperial City Division were already elite, but they were beaten back continuously. They broke through the front line in an instant and responded to the big demon!
"These people are powerful and domineering, unstoppable, and can be called elite soldiers. They are not warriors, but fighting formations."
I thought they were from the army, but Fang Zhen squinted and found that these people were very strange. You know, the army in the capital has its own flag and brand, and anyone familiar with it can recognize it - it is not so much the army in the capital.
,Whose private soldier is this?
There are people in the capital raising private soldiers and colluding with the big monster? Which royal or public house is it?
"No, it's a half-demon." The Taoist said coldly: "I thought this monster would have some way to break out of the encirclement, but I didn't expect that it would only use a half-demon to break out?"
"Don't worry, this half-demon can't escape!"
Eunuch Zhao's expression became even more gloomy: "I didn't expect that there would be a demon army lurking in the capital. If the demon catches anyone alive, they will kill them without mercy!"
Since you dare to show up at this time, you must be prepared to die and become cannon fodder!
As for clues, with so many people, the traces of life cannot be removed. It’s fine if they don’t pop up. If they pop up, they can’t be found.
After speaking, Eunuch Zhao turned to the general: "You will take command."
Originally, victory was within grasp, and Eunuch Zhao could also take command, but now we have to rely on professionals.
"Yes, I will obey the order." The general respectfully accepted the order, stood up and changed his appearance. Following the order, heavily armored soldiers surrounded him again, and immediately a crossbow team stepped forward.
"Prepare, release!"
A shout suddenly broke through the tranquility, and there was only an endless sound of whooshing, followed by a continuous sharp roar, dense rain of arrows covered it, splashing with blood, and Fang Zhen's ears were suddenly filled with a muffled sound.
Fang Zhen looked around and saw that the half-demon rushing in immediately fell down one after another, blood spattered and screams continued. Although he was wearing armor, crossbows rained down like arrows. In just one wave, more than a dozen of the hundreds of people were killed instantly.
.
"Put it on again"
"Three shots"
There was a "buzz", two orders were given, and two waves of crossbow arrows were fired. More than half of the group of half-demon that came out with great momentum had fallen over.
This general has been in battle for a long time, so he ordered: "The left team comes forward!"
The rapid delivery of orders one after another shows extremely high military quality. Even with a continuous whizzing by, a group of armored soldiers instantly formed a formation.
After the arrangement was completed, a school lieutenant led a charge and charged like an iron stream. They just filled the gap and started attacking from both front and back.
"Proficient in the art of war." Seeing orders one after another, the armored soldiers and crossbows cooperated, and the army was just like the iron flow. It attacked from multiple sides. In just a moment, the half-demon who was not afraid of death was either stabbed into a hedgehog or chopped down.
If the wave goes down, there will be no one left alive.
"Hmph, there are only a few half-demon and monsters, so what if they learn our human race's art of war?" For a moment, Fang Zhen suddenly felt that the imperial court and the Taoist sect were working tirelessly to kill the monsters, and they were indeed preparing for a rainy day.
Numbers are everything. When the number of a race decreases sharply, no matter how wise or powerful it is, it will be of no use.
"It seems that I have to support Daomen more in the future."
I just thought about it, but when the last half-demon fell, without waiting for the next attack, the formation that had completely dimmed suddenly lit up again.
"What's going on?" Eunuch Zhao looked over.
"No, this is not my formation, this is the demon formation!" The Taoist looked at the circular formation that suddenly lit up and screamed in horror: "Quick, stop it quickly, this is a sacrifice."
But it was too late. When he shouted, blood flowed into the big demon in the middle. The big demon screamed, and the human form suddenly turned into a golden crow.
"Inform the Imperial City to protect the Emperor." This was Eunuch Zhao's first thought, but before he could finish his words, he saw the Golden Crow turning around and running away. With a trembling of its wings, it flew out of the city.
