Chapter 627 Consumption

Although the tower is far away from the wall of the village, and farther away from the barbarians who were pierced through the crotch by the stone thorns that suddenly "grow" from the ground, Shen Hao can imagine that the scene must be very exciting.

Just look at the rapid "flowing" array suddenly stagnant, you will know how powerful this so-called soil spike array is. At that moment, 70% of the barbarians who rushed forward were probably chained together. Moreover, the sudden appearance of stone thorns is also a kind of hindrance. If the barbarians behind want to come over, they must first give these obstacles to him.

".Boom! Crash!"

Shen Hao's thoughts came here, and then was interrupted by a series of bangs.

I saw huge boulders being pushed over from the formation of the barbarians, and the rolling speed was still very fast, not only following the barbarians in the first echelon, but also crushing the protruding stone thorns with the boulders.

Immediately, Shen Hao suddenly realized, no wonder the people on the tower were not excited at all when the earth thorn array showed its power just now, they should have known that the barbarians would have this move for a long time. And the barbarians continued to attack so calmly, they should have expected the soil spur formation. So didn't those barbarians just do it on purpose? Take your life to kill a formation with a large damage range?

The figure pushing the huge boulder was particularly burly. Although separated by a distance, Shen Hao visually estimated that it was more than twice the size of the normal-sized barbarian next to him, with a pair of horns growing on his head.

cattle family.

Shen Hao remembered that among the barbarians, the Niu Clan was considered to be a less aggressive group, and relatively mild. But if you are gentle and gentle, you can kill people without ambiguity at all. With their huge size and strength coupled with heavy weapons, they are second only to the existence of the elephant clan among individual soldiers, and the number is not comparable to that of the elephant clan.

Shen Hao originally thought that Cheng Jinhou would have formation methods, but unfortunately he didn't. It's normal to think about it. There was only a big battle yesterday, and there were piles of corpses. Even if Cheng Jinhou had arranged several defense formations, they would have been exhausted long ago. I am afraid that the earth thorn formations just now were all made by rushing for work.

Cheng Jinhou stood on the top floor of the tower with his hands behind his back, looking down at the three walls of the village, he had a clear view of the battle situation. After the soil thorn just now, the second echelon of the barbarians came up again, and this time there were more in number. The bull clan pushed the boulders to lead the battle, followed by the ratmen who were short in stature and held short forks or knives in both hands.

Yujian arrived when there were more than a hundred steps away from the wall. There was no rhythm in the throwing, it was all random shooting, completely irregular and could be used by the barbarians, so they could only hide under the wooden shield and move forward. But some feathered arrows can withstand it, and some feathered arrows cannot be supported by wooden shields alone.

Standing on the tower and looking down, Shen Hao could see that some soldiers were fiddling with something like a bed, and giant arrows as thick as arms were shot from these things. Moreover, it was shot in a spinning manner, and then it was thrown high and fell down. Let alone a wooden shield a few inches thick, even an iron shield would have to be smashed through by this thing.

This thing has a very simple name: bed crossbow.

It is different from the bed crossbow in another world. It does not rely on the string to exert force, but relies on the formation method like the trebuchet, and it can shoot five to eight at a time.

It's a pity that there are not many such things that are simply killing weapons in Shen Hao's view, there are only about ten behind each of the three walls.

But that's not all. There is still a hurdle when we are still forty steps away from the wall.

"Boom!" A three-foot-wide fire wall was ignited, and it was full of dry wood and kerosene. The flames that sprang up were two feet high. When the wind stirred, it could burn hair from four or five feet away. .

"Ho Ho Ho Ho"

Most of the crossbowmen on the wall of the barracks below could not understand the roaring beast language. They didn't know that the barbarians on the opposite side were yelling for the soldiers to dig the soil to bury the fire ditch. They just numbly shot from the side. Pull out a feathered arrow from the box and string it, aim halfway through the bow, and shoot it out. At a distance of more than forty steps, any crossbowman can guarantee 90% of the hits.

Specially pick those barbarians whose big shields were shot by the crossbow behind the bed. Feather arrows can kill their eyes or necks with one arrow, but not necessarily the chest and abdomen, because these barbarians are very strong, and they can carry the arrows well if they have more chest and abdomen. for a while.

And before the fire ditch goes out, this is the most efficient time for the crossbowmen on the wall to kill the enemy.

It's just that the barbarians are not sitting still. There are monks hidden among them. Although they don't know human spells, their bodies are extremely strong and powerful under physical training. They lift up the huge boulder that was pushed by the cattle people to open the way before and smash it into the fire ditch. If one yuan is not enough, three or four yuan will be enough, and it will not take long to build a hot passage on the fire ditch. Although you will be roasted if you step on it, it's better than being stranded in the same place and being washed by the rain of arrows, right?

Why wait for the firewall to go out by itself? This fire can burn at least one or two sticks of incense. Are they preparing to die collectively by standing together for such a long time? The only way to avoid the rain of arrows is to get under the wall of the village as soon as possible, and then it is the real killing battle.

Passing through the stone bullets, passing through the arrow rain and the soil thorn forest, and finally having to endure a fire wall to reach the bottom of the wall, there are already corpses left behind. But for the barbarians, the battle has just begun, and dead companions are just a necessary price on the road to victory. As long as this military stronghold stuck on the hub is destroyed, the road ahead will be smooth, and the war of counterattacking the ancestral land will advance a big step forward.

Smelling the bloody smell of their companions, the eyes of the barbarian soldiers were so red that they were about to bleed. Their ferocious instincts made them swarm up the stone path opened by the body repair monks, even if they were accidentally squeezed off the stone path They are afraid of half a step.

"Woo, woo, woo." The horn sounded again in the military camp, playing a special rhythm that Shen Hao didn't know.

The crossbowmen who set up arrows on the wall of the village began to retreat according to their own orders, and continued to throw feather arrows outside the wall in the form of projectiles, but the previous precise shooting was no longer possible.

Pairs of soldiers with guns and shields quickly replaced the crossbowmen. With the shield in front and the spear behind, keep a half-step distance from the wall of the village, resisting it, as if erecting another female wall behind the wall of the village.

As for why you don't take a gun and stab down the wall of the village, because it is easy to be hit by stones or wooden spears thrown up from the wall. It is the most reasonable, and it is also the method adopted by the soldiers in the upper military camp today.

The offensive and defensive hand-to-hand battle on the top of the wall was about to start, and Shen Hao, who was standing on the tower in the distance, found that the array of barbarians parked in the distance had come out of the third batch, and this batch was obviously more numerous!

"Order the flag! Tell all the monks in the army to guard their own area, and they are not allowed to leave their own defense area without orders."

"Order the flag! Announce to the entire army that even if they die, they will die in their own positions. Whoever dares to take a step back will be punished by military law and erase all previous meritorious deeds!"
