The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1509 Tongzhou Emergency (2)

Lin Lianghan has always regretted it a little. He has thought about it countless times whether he did anything wrong to let Lin Tianci go to cultivate immortals.

Especially when the second son, Lin Jiazhu, was born, this feeling became even stronger.

Because Lin Tianci was obedient and sensible, he never let Lin Lianghan worry about him since he was a child. It's also okay to go into business, in short, I don't want to just eat and wait to die.

Lin Lianghan thought about letting Lin Tianci be a good rice bug, and in the future, he would spread his branches and leaves to make the old Lin family prosperous. For this reason, he often encouraged his son to act like a playboy...

How can there be such a father.

However, after the Lin family was born, Lin Lianghan realized that Lin Tianci's model was abnormal, and it was normal for Lin's children to live in this kind of bear, and the result was even more heartbroken.

He was sent to his in-laws in Shizhi County to be nurtured for two years, thinking that the child would mature a bit after getting married, but it turned out that unreliable behavior can't be solved without marriage, and the Lin family's temper just can't be changed.

In a sense, the two brothers are equally open-minded and don't take everything to heart, but the difference is that Lin Tianci is usually unreliable and serious in his work, while the Lin family is always a child temper.

- Woo!

At this time, a low-pitched horn sounded from outside the city, and there was a commotion among the soldiers on the city wall. Seeing the situation, the officer didn't have time to stay with the Lin family anymore, so he turned around and shouted to his soldiers:
"Prepare! Prepare for war!"

In today's era, communication still basically relies on roaring. In large army battles, oral orders are not only slow, but also often make mistakes, so the orders are conveyed by the sound of drums or horns.

This point is similar everywhere. When the horn sounds outside the city, there is a high probability that people are ready to attack.

The sound of neat footsteps poured into the ears little by little, becoming more and more similar, and could be heard clearly even through the city wall.

The iron boots stepped on the farmland of the farmers outside the city without hesitation, and the neat army marched towards the city wall step by step. Even though it looked like a slowly wriggling torrent from a distance, no matter in terms of pace or demeanor, the people outside the city There is no trace of disorder in the army, and it looks like a single person.

The guarding generals on the city wall gasped when they saw the enemy attacking. It felt like they were on the execution ground. The sword was already raised high, waiting to be aimed at the neck and come down.

"Arrowers prepare!"

A large number of archers have been prepared on the city wall and in the open space below the city wall, and they will preemptively launch a wave of lobbing strikes when they are within range.

The enemy army approached in a neat rhythm according to the beat of the drum. Every time they took a step, the neat footsteps sounded like they were stepping on their hearts, and the defenders couldn't help but clenched their weapons.

Watching bit by bit, these neat military formations slowly approached the city wall.

Seeing that they were about to enter the shooting range of the crossbowmen, at this time, the drums of the army outside the city changed.

Before he could understand what the changing drum sounds meant, he saw several black dots rising into the air from behind the army outside the city, and five or six huge stones smashed towards the city wall from the sky.

What's even more ridiculous is that these stones suddenly ignited a fire in mid-air, and the projected ones are not stones, but more like meteorites across the sky.

- Boom boom boom!

As soon as they hit the ground, the stones exploded immediately, just like bombs, so powerful that soldiers who were tens of meters away were overturned to the ground, and the high temperature even made people feel like their eyebrows were burnt off.

However, the first shot may not have grasped the distance well. Only one of the six stone throws hit the city wall, and the other five fell on the flat ground outside the city wall.

The shot that hit the city wall caused a circular pit to appear in the thick stone brick city wall, and the surrounding stone bricks were all cracked. Although it was not enough to be pierced by a single shot, it obviously couldn't withstand a few blows.

As for the stones that fell outside the city, every one of them would explode into a large pit with a radius of more than three meters. The black soil at the bottom of the pit was so white that there was white smoke. What a lot of casualties...

But there is no way, Tongzhou has no cavalry, and there is no way to counter the trebuchets. If you rush to open the city gate and go out to fight, you may be made dumplings by the unknown army waiting for work, and you will die as many as you want.

I'm afraid that the opponent's arrangement of cavalry on both sides of the army formation is not just for pursuit. If there are cavalry in Tongzhou, they will go out of the city from other gates and go around to destroy the trebuchets. They will be discovered and entangled by these cavalry halfway.

The lingering heat of the first round of stone-throwing attacks hadn't dissipated, and then there was a buzzing sound, and six more boulders were thrown into the sky and smashed towards the city.

Likewise, these boulders burst into flames in mid-air, more like projected fireballs.

From this point of view, it can be seen that it is definitely not a normal situation. Even if the trebuchet projects flame ammunition, it will not explode, let alone ignite itself in mid-air.

To deal with the army, even if it is difficult, the soldiers of Tongzhou City can fight, but to deal with this obviously unscientific guy...

In Eastern China, those who specialize in this are monks.

The god holding the handbook of the Lord of Feizou came to Tongzhou City, and after notifying him, he took the handbook and went to the next place. Although Feizou is a small country, it is not as small as two cities and one land. There are still many places that need to be notified. of.

Therefore, there are no other monks in Tongzhou City who can jump out to help.

It would take five or six hours to be notified of the closest monk sect to Tongzhou City by riding a fast horse, while the most famous talisman sect was thousands of miles away.

Although for monks, this distance can be made back and forth with a cup of tea, but it is too far for mortals.

When the distress signal from Tongzhou is delivered, it may be over long ago.

Perhaps, considering that it was the gods who came to inform, maybe the monks were also on their way, or they were gathering people.

Whether he lied to himself or it was true, the city guards could only believe so, and there was nothing they could do about the boulder attacking again.

Compared with the first shot, the second shot was significantly higher. Three of the six boulders hit the city wall, and one fell into the city. Standing on the city wall, you can see an inn being hit directly. It’s beautiful. The wooden building collapsed in an instant, and immediately fell into a sea of ​​flames.

The generals creaked and creaked the swords in their hands, but there was nothing they could do.

The helplessness of defending the city lies in the fact that the initiative is not in their hands, and the attacking party can launch an offensive without restriction.

Because of the lack of countermeasures against catapults, Tongzhou City can only be beaten passively now. If there are more catapults, I am afraid that no masters are needed. Only this kind of catapults that can shoot and explode large rocks can be captured.

But when the stones hit the fourth round and the city was on fire, the army that had stopped moved forward again, and began to charge with a cry of trumpets.

Maybe the ammunition was used up, or maybe the trebuchet needed to be repaired after continuous use. This thing consumes a lot, but in any case, this is indeed the time to attack the city head-on.

When the black-armored soldiers on the attacking side entered the city wall for five hundred steps, the crossbowmen who couldn't wait for a long time released a large number of arrows.

Pieces of arrows rained down from the sky, which slightly reduced the attacking army's charge.

It's really a slight reduction in the literal sense, because the armor of these black armor soldiers is too abnormal.

Whether it is the soldiers of Eastern China or the soldiers defending the city from other places, the weapons and equipment they are issued are basically leather armor, and only the vital parts such as the heart guard are made of fine steel.

Because Tongzhou City is rich, since there are relatively few soldiers, it is natural to do better. The popularity of metal armor can be said to be very high.

But those black-armored soldiers outside the city were all armed to the teeth. People in Eastern Shenzhou didn't know each other. This kind of armor was made of shadow steel.

It is characterized by being tough, wear-resistant and not afraid of corrosion. It is the standard equipment that only real elite soldiers are qualified to equip, including iron boots, leg armor, skirt armor, breastplate, arm armor and a half-covered helmet with only eyes exposed.

Compared with the real tin cans, it must be much thinner, but for the soldiers of Eastern China, this set of equipment is already luxurious.

Arrows fell from the sky, and they raised the shields tied to their arms one after another. Unless they shot through the gaps, they would not cause any harm at all.

During the period when the black-armored soldiers approached the city wall, a total of three rounds of arrows rained down, leaving only a few corpses, and most of them had rushed below the city wall.

A steady stream of black-armored soldiers escorted the huge ram with shields. Even though they had been taken care of, they still couldn't stop the approach.

The gate of Tongzhou City was reinforced with wood and sandbags, but it was also bulging and drumming, so we had to send people to continue to reinforce it and help to withstand it.

The people on the city wall hurriedly took crossbows or bows and arrows and shot down. There was a structure in the shape of an urn at the city gate. Even if the black-armored soldiers could attack in, they would face the defense of multiple city gates and arrows from all directions.

At this time, there were still a large number of ladders and siege towers following the advance of the black-armored soldiers. There were also a large number of archers on the towers, and they released arrows to suppress the city wall.

This is the case with siege warfare. There is no warm-up, and the battle is intense.

Soon, the hands of the soldiers drawing the bows were bleeding, but this did not prevent the black armored soldiers from approaching.

A cloud ladder quickly hooked the city wall, and at the same time a large number of flying claw hooks were also shot up.

The soldiers on the city wall could only try to block the arrow rain shot by the opponent with spears and other objects, and cut off the claws with a machete. For a while, the city wall was in a mess and fell into a stalemate.

Some fast-moving black-armored soldiers had already climbed the city wall along the claws or ladders, and almost came face to face with the defenders of Tongzhou City.

Compared with other places under attack, Tongzhou City was lucky that the opponents were all humans, not monsters, so they could still fight, but unfortunately, their opponents were too strong.

At this moment, a golden light flashed on the city wall, accompanied by the sound effect of a lion roaring, and a slightly excited shout of a half-sized boy:

"Lion Roar!"

The golden energy came out through his body, and with a bang, the black-armored soldiers who climbed up the city wall were sent flying.

This was not over yet, Lin Jiazhu stretched out his hand to lift the rolling stone that he carried up with his own hands, and with all his strength, smashed it down along the city wall, not only knocking down a group of people, but also smashing a ladder to pieces.

The kid picked up the officer who had just been pushed down by the black-armored soldier and said proudly:

"I just said I can do it, the military master should believe me."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was almost hit in the head by a stray bullet. The officer hurriedly pushed the Lin family under the female wall. This kid was foolishly showing his head outside without any armor.

But at this time, whether it was the defenders of Tongzhou City or the black-armored soldiers who appeared inexplicably, they all saw a sword light that seemed to be able to tear the sky from a distance, and where the sword light walked, the sky was really torn apart. It's dark, with a cosmic background like stars, and it can't be closed for a long time...
