The incident happened suddenly. No one expected that a terrifying extreme beast like the fire beetle would come so soon. With the speed of the fire beetle, sooner or later, it would be able to catch up with the white-level warriors who were fighting on the front line. In this regard, even those who were fighting The soldiers could also understand, and I don’t know who shouted first:
"Brothers, see you in the next life!"
Holding a knife and rushing towards the fire beetle, it was obvious that he wanted to use his body to buy more time for his comrades to retreat.
"Brothers, see you in the next life!"
"Bros,……"
One person yelled wildly, followed closely by the soldiers at the front. The shouts shook the mountains and rivers, shattering the cold and bloody world.
Countless "big dog" warriors used their bodies to block the charge of the fire beetles. As explosions were heard, the heroic warriors and the fire beetles perished together, turning into fireworks all over the sky. The splendor of life embellished this endless scene. The sky also brings a beautiful warmth to this cold world.
There is no expression on Zhang Qi's face, neither sadness nor joy. As a commander, whether it is tragedy or joy, he must not be affected by any emotion. In his heart, there is only calculation!
one two three……
Zhang Qi counted silently in his heart, while his brain calculated at extremely high speed...
"put!"
Zhang Qi shouted with all his strength, his voice full of coldness towards life and helplessness of tears.
Following his order, the trebuchet installed on the city wall made a "buzzing" sound, and stone bullets containing concentrated kerosene were smashed out in a parabola.
It was also densely packed, with tens of thousands of trebuchets firing at the same time. The stone bullets blocked the sky and hit the pile of fire beetles.
Following a series of loud noises, the ground seemed to have experienced an earthquake. The explosion of fire beetles and stone bombs directly blasted a huge crater into the ground for dozens of miles.
"Put it back!"
Zhang Qi calmly directed the direction of the stone bullets, and a large number of stone bullets poured out like rain.
Although the fire beetles are powerful, their defense is still very weak. Zhang Qi's method is the best way to deal with such extreme beasts, but there are too many fire beetles, batch after batch, and this kind of extreme beast has no The brain doesn't know what fear is, charging is just a subconscious behavior.
Although Zhang Qi's rounds of stone bombs did not completely eliminate the fire beetles, they provided valuable time for the soldiers to retreat. Most of the soldiers returned to the city, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers died outside. The soldiers who sacrificed their lives for honor were not able to leave even a complete body behind. They were all reduced to ashes in the explosion, leaving their lovely lives forever on the land they fought for.
The number of fire beetles was too huge, probably no less than ten million. Fortunately, Zhang Qi was very well prepared before the war. He fired continuously for three days and three nights. Many of the trebuchets were forcibly damaged, but the stone bombs were still in stock.
The craftsmen of Taiyi Sect are the busiest group of people. Some of them have not slept for three days and three nights, and their eyes are bloodshot. Many riprap trucks have been repaired for the second or even third round. Even the best materials cannot withstand such a strong riprap, not to mention these ordinary materials, if they were not made by Taiyi Sect, they would all be eliminated in less than one round.
"Report the damage to the rock dump truck." Zhang Qi also thought of this problem and asked the accountant below coldly.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, as of now, 50% of the stone dump truck is damaged, 20% is moderately damaged, and the rest is lightly damaged. If the current projectile intensity continues, the estimated service life is one day and one night." Accountant She is an elf girl. Looking at Zhang Qi who has been under high-intensity command for three days and three nights, she knows that Zhang Qi is the most tired person, and it is this man. His back is still as before, standing as straight as a thousand years. The unchanging mountains always give everyone who can see him an inexplicable sense of security.
This is a man who will never fall. The elf girl has long been impressed by this great man in front of her.
Zhang Qi frowned. Once all the trebuchets are destroyed, the pressure on the left domain will be unprecedentedly high. Even if they can barely survive this round, without the trebuchet, a powerful tool for defending the city, the next battle will be difficult. Even the advantages of the city wall will gradually disappear, so it is necessary to ensure that there are enough trebuchets to survive, but once the cover of the trebuchets is lost, what will the fire beetles do?
He really didn't expect the number of fire beetles to be so huge. They were so numerous that they were already countless. If this continued, these fire beetles alone would be enough to wipe out all of them. This would be a huge tide of beasts...
Zhang Qi felt cruel and immediately sent an order, and Zuoyu entered absolute defense mode.
The so-called absolute defense mode actually means giving up the open space outside the city and using the solidity of the city wall to consume the vitality of the extreme beast. In this way, the stone trebuchet can be temporarily repaired.
With Zhang Qi's order, the soldiers who were waiting under the city quickly came to the city wall, and the people who had not yet left turned into logistics troops, and a large amount of city defense materials were continuously moved onto the city wall.
After the absolute defense mode was turned on, 80% of the trebuchets entered the maintenance state, and the density of stone bullets on the battlefield suddenly became much sparse. The fire beetles also felt this change in the battlefield, and once again gathered a large number of Zerg to rush towards the city wall. passed.
Without the cover of stone bullets, the large black mass of fire beetles put a huge psychological burden on the soldiers. However, when their eyes took a look at Zhang Qi's tall figure, the aura that gave people absolute confidence, they The confidence suddenly came back.
If we can win, we will definitely win!
There are some scouts scattered on both sides of the battlefield. They are constantly collecting the movements of the polar beasts and constantly transmitting the coordinates of the polar beasts to the city.
Just when the fire beetles successfully rushed through the stone bomb area and were about to approach the city wall, the seemingly flat ground suddenly collapsed. The first few rows of fire beetles fell down, and disappeared with a scream.
It turned out that Zhang Qi had already dug a moat tens of meters wide outside the city wall. However, due to time constraints, the entire moat could not be completed. He only dug it on the front of the main city wall. In order to cover up this fact, Zhang Qi specially covered it with boards. , covered with soil and disguised as the ground. If not, the extreme beast could see the whole picture from a distance, and would naturally bypass the front of the main city wall and detour from the sides and rear. In this case, the moat would be meaningless.
But now the situation is different. The fire beetles have rushed forward. The so-called blindness is within the range of sight. They can easily subconsciously mistakenly think that the moat is the entire moat. They will inevitably think that only by crossing this river can they have a chance to attack. Entering the city, this also gave him a natural barrier to the main city.
This is Zhang Qi's psychological warfare in absolute defense.
Because the river is not long, Zhang Qi ordered his men to dig very deep, and there are traps, sharp blades, strong acids and poisons underneath... There is no chance of survival if the fire beetle falls, and coupled with the characteristics of the fire beetle, although it can collapse the river , but it will also make the rivers deeper and deeper, and the width of tens of meters makes them difficult to cross.
Although the fire beetles are blue-level, they are just bugs without intelligence after all. They naturally don't know any tactics and can only fill the river with numbers.
So a mighty "river-filling operation" began. One by one, the fire beetles jumped into the river desperately, wanting to blow up the river and fill it up at the same time. This seemed very contradictory, but the effect was very good, because Their greatest advantage is quantity.
Of course, it is not so easy for humans to make their method succeed. Although they no longer have stone bullets, they still have a large number of long-range means. Therefore, arrows, bullets... various long-range means are used to greet the fire beetles, and the fire beetles They were busy "filling the river" and had no time to deal with these scattered attacks. Instead, these soldiers became targets for practice.
It has to be said that the number is really their biggest advantage. After a night of "filling the river", some fire beetles can barely crawl to the other side. This means that the battle of the city wall has officially begun!
"Yu!"
Zhang Qi shouted.
Marks the beginning of the Battle of the Walls.
Fire beetles have many sharp stinging claws and can climb the city wall with bare hands. Therefore, as soon as many fire beetles rush to the root of the city, they straighten up and climb up, and the speed is not slow.
Just when the fire beetle crawled into the middle, a group of people suddenly stood up on the city wall. They held large buckets in their hands and poured them down along the city wall.
This was oil that had been prepared in advance and collected from every household. At that time, people were still puzzled as to why these things were used. Now they finally knew that they admired Zhang Qi's foresight from the bottom of their hearts.
The oil flowed down the wall. Its biggest feature is that it is slippery and very lubricated. The fire beetle in the front row just grabbed one of its claws, and the claw slipped, but the back claw did not hold it up. For a moment, it slipped down without paying attention. Then all the bugs that hit the back rolled down from the wall in an instant, and a large number of the ones behind were killed.
The defenders took the opportunity to launch another attack. They used stones, iron blocks, and even heavy objects voluntarily donated by many people, such as stone benches, chairs, etc., to smash them down. With the support of long-range warriors, Over time, the fire beetles have suffered heavy losses, and coupled with the last round of "river filling", their numbers have dropped sharply, and it is even possible to see the end of their numbers.
This made many people breathe a sigh of relief. In the past, they only knew that there were many fire beetles, such as hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, billions... Because we couldn't see the end, we couldn't estimate the specific number. But now that we can see the end, we feel it in our hearts. However, before they could be happy for long, the next scene almost made them despair again.
Because not far away, another batch of fire beetles appeared, and there was still no end in sight. One batch after another, after killing them, another batch came, endless.
Is this... is this really the case that the sky is going to kill me and I am crying?
Zhang Qi, who was watching the fire, was naturally the first person to see it, and he was also the one who watched the most carefully. He suddenly discovered something unusual. The number of fire beetles that had not yet arrived was much smaller, although they were also very dark. It's a large area, but even from this far away, you can still see to the end. Based on his experience, it's estimated to be around a million, not even one percent of what it was before.
But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this batch of fire beetles is very different from the previous ones. The most obvious thing is that they are much larger. If they were as big as a kitten before, they are now as big as a pig. It also looks more powerful, obviously more powerful than the previous one, or it can be said to be an upgraded version of the fire beetle.
Zhang Qi's heart moved, could it be...
