Heart of the Castle

Chapter 393 Bloody battle, offense and defense, ace
There was no strategy to speak of in the attack of the demon army. Attacking teams came one after another, regardless of casualties.Due to the heavy iron chains tied behind them, it was inconvenient to dodge in the air, almost none of the first batch of hundreds of winged demons could land on the south bank of the Black River, but then more ominous black shadows flew up from the rear of the demon army .

The arrows fired from those watchtowers were non-stop, but the number was still insufficient under such a violent charge, and the rapid shooting also made the archers other than the alchemy warriors begin to tire.A few Winged Demons successfully landed at the foot of the Great Wall of Ice, and then the same number of iron chains were straddled across the Heihe River. The little devils immediately climbed along the chains and crossed the river, crawling over like swarms of poisonous ants.

From the vanguard and the several probing attacks last night, the abyss alchemy lord already knew that the most elite troops of the northern defenders were assembled under the banner of the griffon, and the commander of the defenders, Baron Leviston, was also there.As long as the ice wall in front of him is taken down, the greatest victory in the invasion of the northern border of the Kingdom of Arthur can be established, so he concentrated the most elite troops in his hand to launch the attack.A few well-equipped small demon teams lead the battle, attracting the attention and arrows of the defenders of the Great Wall, followed by the Howling Horn Demon team led by the Horned Demon Warlord Baipa. This team is very good at jumping and can jump directly on the The ice wall with a height of more than ten meters launched an attack; then the incinerator team led by the hellfire demon Gluch, as long as they stepped into the range, they could use overwhelming fireballs to deal a terrible blow to the defenders on the ice wall.

Followed by more than a dozen Winged Demon Annihilators who are about to release the cover of darkness, followed by a team of hellhounds that are as huge as a calf and are very agile and fast. A dozen hellhounds with three heads serve as The leaders were distributed among them, and their deep howls seemed murderous.In the end, the guards of the demon lord personally held the formation, and the nightmare beasts snorted uncomfortably, and the fierce fire under their feet burned the frozen ground into pieces of scorched black.

These demons are numerous and densely arranged on the north bank of the Black River, making people feel their scalps go numb just by looking at them.Bursts of scorching sulfur breath spewed out from their mouths, so that it seemed that even the cold wind blowing from the north seemed cloudy and warmer.

"Those who use silver alloy armor-piercing arrows deal with the winged demons! The rest of the archers concentrate on shooting at the front of the demon army!" Levi's eyes flickered, noticing the terrifying murderous intention hidden in the demon team, "Sir Grace, the enemy's leader will hand over to you!" Here you go, make sure they don't dare to appear blatantly and interrupt those demons' commands!"

"Yes, Your Excellency." Sir Grace showed a cold smile on his thin face.Free hunting was his favorite command.The silver fir longbow was raised and aimed, without any trembling of the arm, the sound of the bowstring vibrating was not conspicuous in the noise, but then an iron chain covered with little devils was hit by a silver light, making a terrifying sound After the sound broke, the little devils above fell into the icy cold river one after another, screaming and struggling desperately.However, in the blink of an eye, a burst of rapids swallowed them all, leaving only some cloudy foam on the surface of the water.

In the dense rain of arrows falling from the Great Wall of Ice, more than half of the little demon team in the lead were killed and injured, screaming and wanting to retreat, but the follow-up team had already pressed up, and there was no room for retreat.The horned demon who supervised the battle mercilessly urged the little devil to continue forward until it fell into the Black River or climbed to the opposite bank.The little devils who finally rushed to the south bank found that what they got was not lucky. Before they could catch their breath, they were knocked down by the ice and stones thrown from the top of the city.

The blood of the devil dyed the entire south bank into a purple muddy, and the ice wall became more slippery. Whether the little devil climbed with his feet or his hands, it would slide along with the climb, and the ten-meter-high ice In front of Bi Yili, even if the little devils flapped their wings desperately to jump up, they could only jump to about half the height at most, and then they could only hug the ice wall and slide down helplessly, their sharp claws scratched on the ice wall. the sound of.

"Ice, it's all ice!"

"Where's the fireball, where's the support?"

The screams under the Great Wall of Ice kept coming and going. The little devil was blocked by the towering ice wall. He could neither move forward nor retreat from the iron chains full of people. He could only bite the bullet and stand under the ice wall. Under the blow of stones and ice, they fell to the ground and died.

However, this is in line with the intention of the abyssal demon lord. Although these little demons belong to an elite team, their combat effectiveness is not very high compared to human soldiers. The purpose of sending them to lead the battle is to consume the bows and energy of the Great Wall defenders.Seeing the little devil's casualties, the abyssal demon lord who was commanding from the rear had no expression on his face, and raised his hand to give the order to continue attacking.

With the new order issued, the Burner team began to move forward slowly, with fiery red fireballs condensed in their hands, followed by a group of howling horned demons who were slightly thinner than ordinary horned demons. These demons were not rough. It is protected by strong scales, and its strength is not as terrifying as ordinary horned devils. Only the two hind legs are extraordinarily thick, and the muscles and veins are entangled together, forming fearsome protrusions on the surface of the skin.

The howling horned monster dragged its hind legs very awkwardly, but in Li Wei's eyes, it made the young lord tremble, "Those horned monsters, could it be..." He turned to look at Tang standing behind him. Na, found that the eyes of the roaring bear also showed a sense of tension.

"Your Excellency, those are Howling Horned Demons, and their jumping ability is enough to threaten the defenders on the Great Wall of Ice!" Tang Na said in a hurried voice.

"It's such a guy." Immediately in Li Wei's mind, the swift figure that jumped down from the sky during the battle of the small mining village, and at the same time, the weakness of this devil also flashed from his consciousness.

"Archers, target howling horned demons, shoot in volley! Pikemen, line up in front! Knights follow me!" Levi gave an order loudly, and then strode towards the crenel, followed by Donner, Glenn Worm and others Afterwards, as he walked, he drew his sword in his hand.

The soldiers and militiamen in front of the crenel were happily smashing down with ice and stones, and the screams and curses of the little devil came from below, which made them smash even more vigorously.There is nothing more exciting than attacking demons like this, especially for those who have suffered from demon disasters.

As they smashed down, they let out a happy cry. The ice cubes and stones smashed down with vengeful anger. The little devils tried their best to dodge, trying to find a hiding place under the smooth ice wall, but they splashed from time to time. The rising purple blood proved that that kind of place does not exist, and the effect of dodging is really not good.

"Leave the crenel and prepare for melee combat!" Li Wei gave an order loudly. It has become an instinct for the soldiers who have undergone strict training to obey the order. Then step back.But those militiamen were not so disciplined, they still yelled wildly, turning a deaf ear to Li Wei's orders.

Li Wei saw at a glance that the howling horned demons under the city were ready to jump, reached out and grabbed the shoulder of a militiaman, and threw it back hard, throwing the militiaman behind him.Then the rest of the knights followed suit. When the militiamen fell to the ground, they still showed confusion and anger on their faces, but they soon turned into rejoicing.

There was an earth-shattering howl from the foot of the Great Wall of Ice. This sound came from the throats of hundreds of Howling Horned Demons at the same time. Even the Great Wall trembled slightly amidst the loud noise.Several militiamen leaned out and were about to smash the stones in their hands towards the city. The loud noise made their whole bodies tremble. Not only did the stones fall from their hands, but their bodies also stiffened.

This stiffness is extremely deadly on the battlefield. In the next moment, accompanied by the booming sound like the vibration of a bowstring, the huge figure of the Howling Horned Demon jumped up like a flea, and swooped towards the top of the city.

"Kill!" Accompanied by the roars of the knights, the sword light tore through the darkness like lightning. Before a dozen howling horned demons set foot on the top of the Great Wall of Ice Wall, their bodies were slashed by the long swords that contained fighting energy. Although they had terrifying jumping abilities, their physical defenses were much weaker than ordinary horned demons, and they immediately slid down the walls one by one, either dead or injured.

However, more Howling Horned Demons successfully climbed to the top of the city, and the militiamen who were immersed in the frenzy woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream. Weapons such as spears or sticks.

It was too late to realize at this time. Although the Howling Horned Demon is thinner than ordinary horned demons, it still has a height of close to two meters. When it swings its muscular arms, it is powerful enough to smash the strong shield in the hands of soldiers. Not to mention the militiamen who are only equipped with leather armor.Before Li Wei and the others had time to stop them, dozens of militiamen fell down, spraying hot blood on the top of the city, forming blood-red ice slag in the blink of an eye.

Next, more than 20 howling horned demons broke through the blockade of arrow rain and rushed to the top of the city. At this time, it was obvious that the strength gap between the alchemy archers and other long-range troops was obvious. The howling horned demons shot by the armored arrows all fell to the ground and died immediately with a scream, while several of them were full of short arrows from lizardmen or Sherwood family shortbowmen, half of their bodies were dripping with blood, but their movements Still fast.

Since most of the knights were assigned to organize defenses at other key positions on the Ice Wall Great Wall, there are only a dozen or so knights around Li Wei now. In addition, the other knights also just realized the seeds of battle qi, and fell into a hard fight.

The chaos on the Great Wall of Ice caused the rain of arrows that suppressed the demon's charge to thin out. More and more little demons climbed along the iron chains and gathered at the foot of the Great Wall. Following the leader's strange scream order, they took the corpses of their companions to death. It piled up under the ice wall, and the purple-red blood that flowed out soon froze on it, forming a terrifying slope made up of corpses.

Li Wei swung his sword and cut off the thick arm of a Howling Horned Demon, and the purple-red demonic blood sprayed head-on. The Howling Horned Demon staggered a few steps, slipped, and fell off the Great Wall. The shrill screams swayed to the end, and then disappeared completely after a loud bang.Then the sword light flashed again, and another howling horned demon who wanted to take the opportunity to attack hurriedly backed away. Although it avoided the cutting of the silver-white sword edge, it was chopped on the back of the head by a bear-headed battle ax behind it, and the whole head was instantly shattered. It exploded.

"Your Excellency, the little devils below are about to charge up!" Donna moved to Li Wei's side and swung his battle ax to force the Howling Horned Demons back.Li Wei took the opportunity to wipe the blood on his face. The unique field of vision of the probing technique allowed him to detect changes in the battle situation without looking over. He gasped slightly and said, "Okay, the spearmen are dispatched, and the archers pay attention to suppressing the burners on the other side." , and the rest are free to attack!"

Hearing the order, the crusader swordsman in charge raised his two-handed giant sword, the edge of the sword was glowing with light green fighting spirit, "Pikeman, go forward!" Dozens of pikemen immediately lowered their spears and stepped on the neat ground. The pace is approaching.

The howling horned demon split a half to meet it, trying to defeat these overwhelmed humans, but just as the two sides fought, the long spear with a silver alloy tip easily pierced into the demon's body, dripping with blood The tip of his gun even protrudes from his back.Those howling horned demons who underestimated the enemy immediately fell to the ground powerlessly, dying almost at the same time.

Although the ramp of piled up corpses is still a few meters away from the height of the Great Wall of Ice, the little devils can already flap their wings and jump up to the top of the wall.They thought that there should be a mess on the top of the city. With so many howling horned demons charging up, even if they haven't completely defeated the human defenders, they can at least get a good foothold.

However, as soon as the little demons jumped onto the Great Wall of Ice, they were attacked violently by spears, sticks, axes, and swords. The mutilated corpses fell from the top with crackling crackles, and a demonic battle started on the south bank of the Black River. A shower of corpses.However, under the severe persecution of the demon leader, the little demons bite the bullet and keep climbing in spite of the pain and death.Moreover, more corpse ramps appeared, and Li Wei and his knights were forced to separate to be able to cope with the fierce battle on the hundreds of meters wide ice wall.The sound of hand-to-hand combat is everywhere, the two sides in the fierce battle are gnashing their teeth, their faces are stained with blood, their long swords are whistling, wooden clubs whine with wind, steel forks are piercing flesh, and battle axes are splitting heads.More and more imps were dying across the city, while militiamen and soldiers began to suffer casualties, and the living fought and hacked among the still convulsed corpses.No order can be heard, only the screams, growls, howls, and gasps and groans of the dying, all echoing in the ears, these voices merge into a hymn of death, if Kuximu himself can come When you come to this land, you will definitely smile proudly at the extraordinarily rich harvest.
