Chapter 277 The city wall shatters and strange beasts appear!

With Sarode's loud shout.

The baggage team at the rear quickly moved boxes of sealed wooden boxes over.

Opening the lid of the box, there were several crystal balls as big as heads inside.

Inside the crystal ball is a noisy and chaotic energy body of multiple colors.

This is a container made of special materials, into which a variety of mutually exclusive elemental energies are injected to create an elemental bomb.

It cannot be detonated from within, so the noisy elemental energy inside is contained within a special crystal.

However, as long as the outside of the crystal suffers a violent collision, it will shatter, triggering the elemental energy within it and causing a violent explosion!

The power of this explosion can easily shatter wooden city gates, and stone city walls will shatter after only a few attempts.

"Throw!"

A dull roar sounded in vain.

Then I saw huge ancient tree men. The branches on their trunks stretched out like tentacles, entangled the elemental bombs and then violently threw them in the direction of the city ahead.

bang bang bang ---

The moment the elemental bomb hit the city wall, the huge impact caused the crystal to shatter, and then the violent elemental energy produced a huge explosion of light waves.

The surrounding void was exploded with ripples.

The several-meter-thick city wall instantly exploded with rocks and cracks appeared.

If the city wall hadn't been so thick back then, it might have collapsed after the few explosions just now.

But even so, the surroundings were shaken, and the soldiers on the city wall were dizzy and swaying from the shock.

What's more, he accidentally fell from the city wall and was shot to death by random arrows from several enemies.

Yu Qian held the city wall with both hands and looked solemn.

If the opponent is allowed to continue to blow up like this, the city wall will collapse in a short time. If the city gate is blown up... it is even more likely to shatter in one go.

The enemy actually has something as powerful as an artillery piece.

Your Majesty! I'm afraid this city is in danger...

"Yu County Sheriff!"

At the same time, a shout came from behind.

Yu Qian turned around and looked.

The person who came was Jiang Rong, the official of Zhengtian and the master of Wu Palace.

At this time, Jiang Rong was wearing a lavender brocade robe. This was the official robe exclusive to the Witch Palace and symbolizing the identity of the wizard.

Behind Jiang Rong were more than thirty wizards from the Witch Palace.

More than half of them are intermediate wizards, including four senior wizards.

"Master Jiang."

Yu Qian raised his hand and wrote.

"Yu County Sheriff, on the order of your Majesty, I led all the wizards from the Witch Palace to come to support."

After hearing this, Yu Qian was immediately overjoyed and said: "Palace Master Jiang is here just in time, look!"

Yu Qian pulled Jiang Rong forward, pointed to the box next to the ancient tree people, and said:

"Those things will explode if you throw them over. If they continue to explode, the city wall will collapse and the city gate will be broken!"

"Leave it to us to deal with it."

Jiang Rong responded, waved his hand, and the wizards behind him began to stick to the city head.

When Sarode below the city saw that the city wall quilt collapsed, he continued to issue the order to throw.

Dozens of ancient tree men immediately formed tentacle-like branches to wrap the remaining twenty or so elemental bombs, and then violently threw them towards the city walls and gates.

Jiang Rong looked shocked and immediately shouted: "Do it!"

I saw many wizards immediately mobilizing the spiritual energy in their bodies.

The spiritual energy was instilled into the spiritual seed and rushed towards a witch seal in the spiritual seed.

For a moment, a red-white light burst out all around!

Under the conscious control of many wizards, the ground beneath the city trembled.

In the blink of an eye, vines of different thicknesses burst out of the ground and rushed towards the elemental bombs flying in the air at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

And Jiang Rong was even more terrifying.

One person summoned five vines and instantly wrapped five elemental bombs. Then he was able to use witchcraft a second time to throw the bombs towards the enemy's phalanx!

boom!

boom!boom!

A ripple of explosion suddenly spread out from the enemy formation.

A fierce wave of air blew past, and it was like waves blooming in the square formation.

Blood was everywhere, staining the green grass red.

Broken limbs fell from the air.

There was a wailing sound in the scene, and the morale of the enemy's Imperial Third Infantry Corps was instantly reduced by more than half.

Wuwuwu——

A dull horn sounded.

The enemy troops retreated like a black torrent.

Sarode had no choice but to give the order to withdraw his troops with a dark face.

The enemy's strength was seriously inconsistent with his estimate, so in order to avoid increasing losses, he had to issue an order to retreat.

The two armies sent out earlier, which originally wanted to go around the other two walls, had no choice but to withdraw when they heard the sound of the horn.

This made Zhou Tai, who was waiting at the city gate to go out of the city to stop the enemy, sighed angrily.

The enemy's first attack failed, which relieved the defenders in the city.

.........

In the temporary military camp six hundred meters outside Dongmu County.

"Commander Sarold, why are you withdrawing your troops?"

Railton walked into the military tent aggressively and asked unceremoniously.

As the biological brother of the current queen and the king's brother-in-law, although Railton is only a baron, he is much more courageous than Viscount Galenna when facing Sarold.

"Ok?"

Sarode stood up and snorted coldly.

Looking at Sarode who was as tall as a little giant in front of him.

Railton couldn't help but take a step back.

"There are magicians in the enemy city, and they throw the elemental bombs thrown by the ancient tree people into the siege team.

Morale was low, and the losses would increase if we followed the original siege plan, so I ordered the retreat horn to sound. "

Sarode hummed in a rough voice.

Galenna in the corner thought for a while and then said: "I think we should pass the news to His Majesty the King and add some siege methods."

Sarode nodded slightly after hearing this: "Okay."

Railton shook his head and said in denial: "When the army regains its morale, I think we should try again. We just attacked the city and only the Third Infantry Corps participated in the battle. The real elite have not yet taken part."

Sarold was stunned. He understood that Railton was eager to achieve merit and prove it to His Majesty the King. But if he failed to report the information, which would lead to excessive losses, didn't he think about the consequences?

In the end, Railton regressed. After all, if the elite troops suffered heavy losses, both Sarold and Sarold would be responsible for him. Even if he was the king's brother-in-law, he would not be able to withstand the consequences.

Moreover, he is young, but he is not a fool.

"I'll send someone to summon you."

After Galenna finished speaking, he turned around, opened the curtain and walked out.

The moment he stepped out of the military tent, two sword-wielding guards wearing snake suits and chainmail suddenly appeared in front of him.

Without saying a word, four knives struck at him at the same time.

"Pfft..."

The blade struck him, and he vomited blood and died on the spot.

"Gallenna!" Railton approached the tent. He heard the sound of swords and vomiting blood. He suddenly became alert and shouted in a deep voice.

Seeing that there was no sound coming from outside, the two people in the military tent were suddenly startled, and they drew out their swords and waited cautiously.

"Assassins! There are assassins!"

Sarode's rough voice immediately carried his voice dozens of meters away.

Holding the knight's sword in both hands, he rushed out instantly and slashed hard.

Whizzing--

Two sharp sounds came in vain.

From the darkness, two arrows shot at Sarode in an instant.

As the grand leader of the Royal Court Knights, Sarold's strength has reached the first level of extraordinary. His agility and amazing perception allowed him to avoid arrow attacks in advance.

But the flesh of his right arm was still torn by the arrow.

"We've got it, retreat."

There was a murmur all around, and then a breeze blew and then gradually calmed down.

Soon, the military tent was surrounded by cavalry, and several knights came over with worried faces.

"Grand Commander, you are injured!"

"I'm fine." Sarode waved his hand.

"puff……"

As he finished speaking, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"This arrow...is poisonous..."

"Pass the military doctor!"

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Railton, on the other hand, was glad that he didn't go out just now.

Otherwise, with his strength, it would be difficult for him to dodge the arrow.

"You take care of Captain Sarode, and I will send someone to send a message to His Majesty the King."

Railton knew that the situation was urgent, so he gave the order and left quickly.

……

Dongmu County, County Sheriff's Mansion.

"There is no need to worry, Governor Yu. The 7,000 cavalry led by Generals You Ming and General Jie will arrive soon. Military supplies and food are also on the way. According to your words, as long as Dongmu County can hold on for ten days, victory will be guaranteed. On our side.”

Yu Qian shook his head and said: "There are already cracks in the southern city wall. It may be enough to collapse it with just a few stone throws..."

Jiang Rong fell into depression after hearing this.

Just when several people were worried, a senior wizard said: "Maybe there is a way to fix it!"

Yu Qian and Yu Qian looked stunned and hurriedly asked: "How to repair it?"

"I have a rock-horned bull. Its horns have the magical ability to spawn rocks. Maybe they can be used to repair city walls."

The wizard cupped his hands.

"You can give it a try!" Jiang Rong looked happy and took out five gold and jade coins from his arms and handed them to the wizard.

"This will replenish your consumption for a while. Let's go to the city wall right now."

After Jiang Rong finished speaking, several people went to the city wall together.

The wizard brought the Rockhorn Ox over.

This was one of the strange beasts captured in the underground palace of the Yanghorn God. Qin Yu copied and hatched several of them.

"go with!"

The wizard's hands glowed with light, and he used his consciousness to activate the slave mark in his mind and began to convey orders to the Rockhorn Ox.

At the same time, he transferred the spiritual energy stored in his own spiritual species to the Rockhorn Ox through the slave mark.

The pair of dark eyes of the Rockhorn Cow suddenly lit up, and then a large amount of spiritual energy condensed between the two horns, and the surrounding black soil and stones were gradually sucked into the air from the ground.

Following the wizard's control, huge stone slabs condensed and flew towards the city wall.

As the Rockhorn Ox consumes a large amount of spiritual energy to activate its innate ability, the stone slabs gradually merge with the city wall.

"It's really happened! There are such magical beasts in the world!"

Yu Qian couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the scene in front of him.

Jiang Rong was also a little curious and said: "I didn't expect this strange beast to have such an effect. What other abilities does it have?"

The wizard controlled the Rockhorn Ox to repair the city wall.

This is physical work and the workload is not small.

He responded: "The characteristics of the Rockhorn Ox are that it has extremely high defense, can condense rocks, and has strong collision force. Perhaps his power will increase in the future and he can change the earth's veins."

"That's really extraordinary! I regret choosing that white-winged monitor lizard."

Jiang Rong sighed.

After hearing this, the wizard couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Master, please don't offend me. There are less than ten exotic beasts allowed to be enslaved by Your Majesty. Yours has the strongest attack power. It can spit fire and even metal It can melt into copper water!"

"Ahem, each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

Jiang Rong is less than 20 years old. I don't know when he learned "Versailles".

He took out five more gold and jade pieces from his arms and gave them to the wizard and then said: "I'll leave it to you to repair the city wall. Keep it for replenishment. I will record your contribution in the merit record of the Witch Palace."

"Thank you, Hall Master."

After the words fell, Yu Qian and Jiang Rong left.

The reason was that a soldier came to report that the guards from the Cinema Guard had arrived.

As a military organization founded by the monarch himself, it has made great achievements several times during this period, monitoring the entire territory, even enemy territory, and it currently occupies an indispensable position.

Coming here this time will definitely be a big deal.

Soon, several people met at the Sheriff's Mansion.

"In the lower Yingweiyuan, Yingwei General Flag, Ying26, I met Mr. Jiang and Mr. Yu."

"You're welcome, sit down and talk."

After a few people sat down, Ying Twenty-Six spoke up: "According to your Majesty's order, our troops carried out beheading and assassination operations against the enemy. However, there was a strange barrier in the enemy's camp that prevented us from approaching.

So I took the rest of the people and assassinated dozens of officers in the camp before quietly leaving and heading straight to Dongmu County.

Just now, we discovered the enemy's commander's tent. The three people inside seemed to be of high status. One was beheaded on the spot, and the other was hit by a poisonous arrow. He probably wouldn't survive!

I think that the army outside the city will be leaderless every two or three days and unable to launch another attack. If we delay these days, when reinforcements arrive, Dongmu County will be impregnable! "

"Okay!" Yu Qian said happily after hearing this: "Since the opponent has no leader, we can be bolder and go out of the city to kill the enemy!"

Jiang Rong was stunned for a moment and then said: "Master Yu, is it dangerous to go out of the city and take the initiative to attack?"

"Before that, let's do some testing first! Send cavalry to provoke. If the opponent's actions are delayed, it means that the enemy generals are unable to command and the army is slow to mobilize. Therefore, it proves that they are currently leaderless. We will formulate a plan to go out of the city to kill the enemy. plan!"

Yu Qian's words immediately gained unanimous agreement from everyone.

Therefore, the important task was handed over to Zhou Tai.

"Don't worry, everyone, the general will have his own measure!"

Zhou Tai bowed his hands in response, then turned over and mounted the red-blooded horse with his hand-held steel spear, and rode out of the city gate with a thousand dragon cavalry cavalry.

As rangers, the Dragoon Battalion has the best long-range capabilities, and its melee capabilities are not weak either.

Zhou Tai also liked this elite cavalry very much. After all, no general would like a coward.
