Ye Chong looked confused, feeling like there was something he had not finished saying.
Why are you leaving now?
Are you still shameless?
Don't you want to show off your face?
At this time, someone on the wall west of the north gate shouted: "Be careful, there are land beasts coming, archers are on standby!"
Hurrah!
The city wall suddenly became tense.
Soon, Lin Jie hurried to Ye Chong's side and said in a hurry: "According to the requirements of the garrison, our people were divided into 15 teams, each stationed at a battlement. Do you have any instructions?"
"Haha, what instructions can I give?" Ye Chong said with a smile, "You have rich experience in the army and have better command ability than me. You ask me this kind of thing because you want to test me, right?"
"No way?" Lin Jie grinned, "You are our leader, and everyone values your opinion."
"Stop wearing such a high hat on me." Ye Chong looked at the other party with a half-smile, "Tell me, what do you think?"
"Okay, then I will tell you my opinion." Lin Jie put away his smile and said solemnly, "I wanted to come over just now, but I saw you talking to someone, so I didn't come to disturb you.
Lao Ye, have you discovered it?
The material and thickness of Winter City's walls are fine, but the height is worrisome.
I roughly estimated it to be a little over 10 meters.
This height...
It's okay to defend against humans, but it's not enough to defend against mutant beasts.
Most of the mutant beasts here in the North are at the beast general level and are tall in size.
Especially the land beasts are huge and have excellent jumping ability.
It's not difficult for them to jump up the city wall.
It's hard to say what will happen next.
Mr. Jia is not here. What I want to ask you is, what should we do once the city is destroyed or an emergency occurs?
Stick to it?
Or retreat?"
"So this is what you want to ask?" Ye Chong frowned and looked into the darkness in the distance, where a deep beast roar was coming from, and countless colorful eyes were flashing like lanterns.
"Old Ye," Lin Jie said in a deep voice, "After all of us have come, there are still 152 left. We still have to serve in the Poya Fortress. We really can't afford it here."
"I understand." Ye Chong nodded, frowned, and then said, "Old Lin, I don't want to talk about big things.
Of course I don't want our people to suffer any more losses.
However, the winter garrison gave us this section of the city wall to guard, which is the greatest trust in us.
If we can't do it, then we should choose to refuse it at the beginning, not now.
I feel that since we have agreed, we must shoulder our due responsibilities.
Lao Lin, you come from a military background, so you understand this better than I do.
I know that the reason you asked me is because you are worried about our brothers and the changes in the battlefield situation in the future.
Understandable.
Actually I'm worried too.
To be honest, I have seen the ferocity of the mutated beasts in the north. They are at least much stronger and more numerous than the mutated beasts in the Leqing Mountains and Longsu Di.
However, in addition to our responsibilities that prevent us from retreating, I also feel that the Winter Garrison deserves our trust.
Have you seen that person just now?
He is the squad commander I'm talking about.
Not long ago, it was he who used interludes and detours to mobilize the mutant beasts in the entire east area, allowing you to discover and seize the opportunity to return to the city.
do you know?
I doubted him throughout the whole process, and it wasn't until afterwards that I discovered that everything he did made sense and was the best choice.
I am not blindly confident, nor am I blindly trusting others, but an instinctive feeling of trust.
In addition, I also feel that this time is also a great trial opportunity for us Zhongdu warriors.
Don’t forget, after we go to Poya Fortress in the future, we are likely to encounter a more severe and cruel situation than here.
Rather than face it hastily when the time comes, it would be better to learn how to defend the city under the eyes of the Winter Army."
When he said this, Ye Chong paused and then said: "Old Lin, when it comes to military affairs, you are a veteran, and I am a newcomer.
You know the truth I'm talking about better than I do.
Regarding the city wall issue you were worried about just now, according to my opinion, mutant beasts should not be allowed to approach.
And this is probably the main reason why the winter garrison sent us bows and arrows, right?
What do you think?"
"Understood." Lin Jie's voice was solemn and he nodded, "What I'm worried about is not the attack of scattered mutant beasts, but the siege of the city by groups.
We only have enough arrows, but they are not enough."
"That's right." Ye Chong said with a smile, "Every bow and arrow is valuable and cannot be used by us at will.
Therefore, we should avoid shooting without aim, but let every arrow in our hands exert its maximum power.
In fact, I was thinking just now that I can't let the mutated beast get close before shooting.
But now that I think about it, in order to get the best effect from the arrows, I can't shoot too far away.
hehe.
How to operate it specifically depends on your arrangements, Old Lin."
"After 100 meters, you can launch." Lin Jie smiled, "Okay, I understand what you mean, go and convey it."
Ye Chong nodded slightly and said nothing. He looked at the mutated beast slowly approaching in the darkness, his expression becoming more solemn.
At this time, a low roar suddenly came from the darkness far north of Winter City.
The sound was not loud, but it had a strong penetrating power, causing the people on the Winter City Wall to tremble a little.
at the same time.
Roar~
Hoho~
Ho ho ho~
The beast roared suddenly in the darkness.
The next moment, a rumbling sound suddenly exploded, and the whole earth trembled.
At the same time, rhythmic sounds continued to sound on the city wall.
Lin Jie could be heard shouting: "Keep the energy and blood flowing! No firing is allowed from a hundred meters away! Listen to my orders!"
Ye Chong held a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand. He looked at the eyes of the beast jumping in the darkness from a distance and couldn't help but frown.
Without seeing their bodies clearly, you can tell from the height of the beast's eyes that what is coming is a group of land beasts, and they are huge land beasts, and they are extremely fast, almost unbelievably fast.
"Can it be blocked?" Ye Chong glanced at the city walls on the left and right, and finally there was a trace of worry on his face.
One thousand meters.
Eight hundred meters.
Six hundred meters.
Five hundred meters.
…
Ye Chong couldn't help but glance at the team of Zhongdu warriors, and it could be seen that everyone looked a little panicked.
However, looking at the Winter garrison on the other side, they looked like statues, with unchanged expressions and motionless.
As a result, before Ye Chong could take a second look, the huge canvases under the inner city wall were quickly torn off.
quickly.
Click, click, click!
A strange sound sounded.
Then came the next moment.
boom!
Boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
Countless black balls suddenly appeared in the night sky, roaring and flying into the distance.
