Xu Shu finished smoking a cigarette, but there was still no movement outside the city wall. On the contrary, a large number of soldiers were gathering inside the city wall, and ammunition boxes were piled on top of the city.
"Is it possible that someone of ours has inserted himself into the entrance of the underworld and has accurate information sent back? Otherwise, how can you judge that there will be a war?"
Xu Shu put out the cigarette butt.
Huang Zhongmian pointed out the window: "Did you see the crimson mass in the lead cloud? It is the aura gathered by the ghost monsters. The redder the aura, the more ghost monsters gathered. And this time, the crimson color is more intense than the aura gathered by the ghost monsters. It has been serious every time in the past. A bloody war is inevitable."
As soon as he finished speaking, the passionate horn sounded.
Intensive orders came from all directions, and a large number of soldiers rushed to the top of the city like a tide.
Xu Shu looked far away, firmly locked on the vast snowy land outside the city wall.
Not long after, a black line appeared at the end of the snowy area.
Soon, the black lines quickly stretched, expanded, and gathered into a tide.
In an instant, a wave of black ghost monsters that could not be seen beyond the horizon was revealed.
In terms of scale, it was much more turbulent than the frenzy of pursuing troops he encountered on the military columns when he arrived.
The strange thing is that after the tide of ghost monsters rushed hundreds of meters, it suddenly stopped.
A small group of ghost monsters separated from the tide of ghost monsters and rolled towards the city wall.
Xu Shu frowned slightly, and with a thought in his mind, he understood instantly and couldn't help but exclaimed: "You still know how to divide your troops and rush forward to avoid artillery fire. There are also wise men among these monsters. We are in trouble!"
No matter how powerful the ghost is, Xu Shu doesn't find it scary.
Because in his opinion, no matter how powerful the ghost monster is, it is just a top-notch beast with low intelligence, so it is not difficult to destroy it.
Now, he was surprised to find that the ghost monster had great wisdom, and he immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Huang Zhongmian said: "The third-level ghost monsters give birth to half-bone bile, the fourth-order ghost monsters give birth to ghost fire, and the wisdom of the fifth-level ghosts is no less than that of humans. Monsters with intelligence can establish civilization and become the natural enemies of our human race."
Xu Shujian frowned and stared at the battlefield.
The small group of ghost monsters broke out very fast, and soon spread to be less than a hundred meters away from the city wall.
The artillery at the top of the city still didn't fire.
Xu Shu was secretly anxious. If these ghost monsters were to get closer, the artillery would almost lose its shooting angle.
Not long after, this ghost monster rushed within fifty meters.
With a snap, a starting gun shot into the sky.
Gunshots sounded like exploding beans on the city. In an instant, more than ten ghost monsters turned into a pool of blood, and the remaining ghost monsters rushed towards the city head like crazy.
Almost at the same time as the gunshots were fired, the wave of ghost monsters at the front dispersed small groups of ghost monsters at an accelerated speed.
The artillery on the top of the city still did not fire, and still followed the original strategy, waiting for the small group of ghost monsters that were coming to reach the optimal shooting range.
In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
The spears killed hundreds of ghost monsters, but there were still a large number of ghost monsters who escaped the gunfire, climbed onto the city wall, and attacked the city.
In an instant, the spear team had to change their attack strategy and concentrate on attacking the ghost monster attached to the ants.
As soon as the spear team changed the direction of attack, the fire suppression on the city immediately weakened, and the tide of ghost monsters distributed small groups of ghost monsters at a faster speed.
Not long after, the offensive and defensive battle on top of the city reached a fever pitch.
The Machetes and Hammers, who were arrayed behind, rushed to the front.
The auxiliary soldiers who had set up boilers to boil the gold juice for a long time also splashed the pungent and highly corrosive gold juice on the bottom and top of the city wall.
For a time, everything inside and outside the city wall was in full swing.
Xu Shu's eyes were firmly fixed on the front line of the ghost monster tide, as more and more ghost monster squads spread out.
Gradually, the ghost monsters that attacked the city also spread like wildfire.
Suddenly, a red flare emitted from the northwest, and Xu Shu noticed a taller tower in the northwest.
"Is that the frontline command post?"
Xu Shu whispered.
Huang Zhongmian nodded slightly: "Shuai Long is sitting there."
Xu Shu said: "You should be beside Commander Long to assist the military aircraft."
Huang Zhongmian stared at Xu Shu: "You will understand later."
Xu Shu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
With Huang Zhongmian's identity, this stall is not by Long Qingxiang's side, but staying here only shows that this place is a top priority.
As he and Huang Zhongmian were together, Xu Shu could imagine with his toes that a bloody battle awaited the Secret Service.
The signal flare just took off, and dozens of stone-throwing aircraft were ready to go.
When Xu Shu saw those large trebuchets, he felt incredible.
After all, in an era when firearms were popular, ancient instruments such as trebuchets should be swept into the garbage heap of history without any suspense.
Until this moment, the trebuchet was started, and huge black wooden barrels were thrown out, falling far away in the army of ghost monsters, overflowing with black kerosene.
Xu Shu suddenly jumped up and stared at Huang Zhongmian in surprise: "With this clever plan, why worry about the ghosts being immortal?"
Before he finished speaking, the fire oil overflowed, and with a bang, the sky was filled with flames.
The entire battlefield was instantly ignited.
Xu Shu exclaimed in shock: "With such power, he is at least a third-level catalytic master."
Huang Zhongmian shook his head slightly: "Fire control in all directions, with a radius of several hundred meters, he is a fourth-level Wenjunzi."
As he spoke, he pointed to the tower where the command post was located.
Xu Shu was awe-inspiring.
Wen Junzi is the fourth level of the Fire Stealer Path. His ability to ignite fire is greatly enhanced, and he can freely control temperatures from zero to one thousand degrees. He is an outstanding weapon forging master and can create collective hypothermia in a certain range of people.
A fire stealer of this level can already be called a battlefield weapon.
Xu Shu couldn't understand how a mere ghost monster could cause harm since there was a transcendent of Wen Junzi's level and with the help of kerosene.
When he was wondering, a huge amount of dust suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and a large amount of dust was overturned.
In an instant, the raging fire was extinguished by the dust.
Huang Zhongmian said: "It is natural for ghosts to be afraid of water and fire, but the damage caused by water and fire to ghosts is limited."
Sure enough, only a handful of the ghost monsters on the battlefield were annihilated in the fire, while the vast majority of them retained their fighting power and surged towards the city wall.
Of course, the fire attack is by no means useless.
At least it bought valuable time for the defense of the city wall. Some shaky defenses were repaired while the fire was burning.
However, the fire was extinguished, and the attack of the monsters became more and more violent.
The wave of ghost monsters in the rear also stopped dividing their forces and rushed forward, and instead attacked across the board.
In an instant, boundless ghosts surged in like the tide of the Qiantang River.
stop!
Another yellow flare soared into the sky.
Boom!
For a long time, there seemed to be a thunderbolt. In an instant, hundreds of cannons were fired. Almost at the same time, the trebuchet threw out a large amount of kerosene.
Under the control of Wen Junzi, the city wall once again turned into a sea of fire.
The sea of fire and the blessing of artillery caused great damage to the wave of ghost monsters. After a wave of ground-washing attacks, the defense troops on the city wall also seized the opportunity to launch a killing spree.
Within a moment, the gang of ghost monsters who had climbed up the city wall were all gone.
