The sudden change in Beiyang City shocked Han Feng, and he immediately used his body skills to rush towards the south gate. When he arrived at the south gate, the gate was already closed.
Han Feng simply used the Earth Spirit Pearl to escape directly underground, sneaked through the city gate, and appeared on the streets in the city.
Running wildly all the way to Beiyang Pass.
When they arrived at the city gate, they saw that all the city guards from the four thousand households were already in action and swarmed up to the city tower.
The crowd gathered around shouting, pushing and shoving, and carrying various city defense equipment. There were already hundreds of archers, with their bowstrings fully drawn, aiming towards the bottom of the city tower...
Han Feng could clearly see that everyone on the tower was filled with nervousness and fear.
Just at this moment, Han Feng saw several familiar figures.
But it was Jin Buhuan, Nangong Li, and Lu Yun'er who were rushing towards the tower carrying several boxes of feather arrows.
Han Feng hurriedly chased after him.
When the three of them saw Han Feng, they were all happy, and Jin Buhuan said in surprise.
"Brother Han, you are finally here. Where did you go just now? I can't find you."
Han Feng didn't answer and asked: "What happened?"
Nangong Qi said solemnly: "A tide of monsters broke out outside the city. The group of monsters is less than ten miles away from Beiyang Pass!"
Although Han Feng had already expected it, his expression immediately changed when he heard the word "beast tide".
He rushed directly to the top of the city in a flash and looked at the distant land from the battlements.
At a glance, Han Feng could only see billowing smoke and turbid waves on the distant horizon.
Densely packed, all kinds of monsters, each in groups, rushed towards Beiyang Pass in a mighty manner.
Looking around, there are at least tens of thousands of monsters rushing towards them, and there are also a steady stream of monster beasts rushing out of the Beiyuan Forest.
Sure enough, a beast tide broke out here!
But the worst thing is that this beast wave broke out too suddenly.
If we wait one more night and wait until the Yumen County reinforcements arrive tomorrow, we will be relatively confident in dealing with this beast tide.
And at this moment...
He looked at the Beiyangguan city tower that could not help but tremble under his feet, as well as the swarm of monster beasts that surged toward the overwhelming tide.
Han Feng could not imagine how the city could be protected with less than a thousand city guards on the tower.
But no matter what, since the beast tide broke out, it was too late to evacuate outside the city at this moment, so Beiyang City could only choose to defend.
On the city tower, four thousand households, including Jiang Biao and Pei Chengren, gathered and arranged for soldiers to lay out the defenses on the city tower.
Guard Zhengping also came to the city at this moment, watching the development of the beast tide in the distance with a solemn expression.
It has to be said that although the guards in Beiyangguan City are usually veteran veterans who are fond of drinking, gambling, and cheating.
But at the critical moment when this beast wave broke out and the whole city was in crisis, they showed extraordinary psychological quality.
Although he was terrified in his heart, he was not slow at all in his actions.
In addition to the archers who all took their positions, everyone began to skillfully arrange stone bullets, forked poles, flying hooks, rolling logs, catapults... and other city defense equipment on the tower.
Han Feng also knew that there was no other choice now.
Unless the combat power of star level or even above can play a huge role in this situation, ordinary single-body power has no much meaning.
He also immediately joined the city defense team, and together with everyone, carried the city defense equipment and arranged the offensive.
Time passed by minute by second, just as the city guards were working intensively to strengthen the city defense.
The group of monster beasts rushing at the front was already close to Beiyang Pass, only two or three miles away.
At this moment, Jiang Biao ordered at the top of the city.
"Catabu, prepare!"
Compared with Han Feng's previous life in ancient times, catapults could only be thrown two to three hundred meters at most.
The catapults of the Qianlan Empire were much stronger, both in terms of the materials they were made of and the soldiers who used them, and the power of the catapults was also doubled.
Following this order, dozens of soldiers drew their swords and cut off the hemp rope binding the catapult's handle.
Only "Boom, boom, boom...!" was heard. A huge roar.
The boulder, which was poured with hot oil and burned red, and was larger than the millstone, was projected out.
The boulders drew fiery red arcs in the void, and then hit the demon wolves and iron bulls rushing in front of the demon beasts.
With astonishing destructive power, the boulder directly smashed the target into meat patties, and then rolled all the way with the help of inertia. When sparks flew, it knocked away more than a dozen monster beasts before it stopped.
A single round of cannonballs killed and injured hundreds of monsters.
After the first round of firing was completed, the soldiers immediately turned the wheel, tied the rope, loaded the bomb, and continued firing!
"Boom boom boom...!"
The huge boulders in the sky, like burning fireballs, smashed into the group of monster beasts one after another.
Although it caused a lot of casualties, it seemed to be a drop in the bucket for the tens of thousands and even growing number of monster beasts.
Moreover, unlike human sieges, the crushing force of these trebuchets will frighten the enemy and disrupt their formation.
Not only were these monsters not afraid of the attack from the trebuchet, but their ferocity was aroused, and they rushed toward the tower even more crazily.
Seeing that the monster had entered a mile below the city and it was difficult for the trebuchet to be effective, everyone put on the bow and arrow cart again, and formed a group of four, preparing to launch giant feather arrows.
Among them, a "bow and arrow cart" attracted Han Feng's attention.
The entire body is made of black fine iron. There is a huge black iron box in front of the body, which is used to load giant arrows. It can load more than thirty arrows at a time.
The shape of this bow and arrow cart is very similar to the Zhuge Liannu designed by himself.
As the attack order was issued, the city guards immediately launched their bow and arrow chariots.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!"
Giant iron arrows were fired like rain, especially those seven or eight black refined iron crossbow carts. In an instant, dozens of giant crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, with astonishing power.
Even if the rough-skinned monster below is hit by a crossbow arrow, its armor will be pierced immediately.
In addition, the tip of the bow and arrow has a texture similar to a triangular thorn. Once the monster is hit, blood will flow out like a fountain, and it is almost certain to die.
Han Feng was even more surprised, because the design principles of these seven or eight crossbow carts were almost exactly the same as Zhuge Liannu.
At this time, Jiang Biao, who was standing aside, saw Han Feng looking stunned.
He patted a black crossbow cart next to him and said proudly.
"Han Feng, you have never seen such a high-end gadget. This "wind crossbow chariot" is a new type of "city defense weapon" developed by the Imperial Trading Company and the Northwest Association. It was only delivered to Beiyang Pass last month.
It's a pity that there are only eight chariots. If there were one hundred and eighty wind crossbow chariots, it would be enough for these beasts to drink a pot! "
"Wind Crossbow Chariot!"
There was a strange expression on Han Feng's face.
It seems that the Northwest Association received its own Zhuge Liannu design drawings and built these "wind crossbow chariots" according to the principles.
As for why the name "Wind Crossbow Chariot" was chosen, it starts with the word "wind".
Han Feng subconsciously thought of the shrewd, beautiful and plump Shopkeeper Mei.
Could it be that this woman gave her the name?
Without any time to think, the bow and arrow carts and crossbow carts on the city tower fired several rounds together, causing more casualties than the catapults just now, directly killing hundreds of monsters.
However, this still could not contain the charge of the monster beasts.
The earthquake in the city tower became stronger and stronger, and everyone was even a little unsteady. The group of monsters was already less than half a mile away from the city gate.
Jiang Biao and other four thousand households immediately ordered all archers, bow and arrow chariots, and crossbow chariots to fire in unison.
Arrows rained down from the sky, attacking the monsters below in an overwhelming manner.
For a moment, arrows poured down from the city tower like a violent storm, causing the charging monsters in front to falter slightly.
But it only paused for a moment. The monster beasts came one after another, and continued to charge against the rain of arrows in the sky.
They charged and killed hundreds of monsters along the way, but in the end they rushed to the city wall and began to slam into the city gate, relying on their sharp claws to climb up the city wall.
At this moment, the most critical moment of the siege has finally arrived!
Long-range weapons were no longer effective. The guards on the tower immediately picked up the rubble and boiling oil that had been piled on the tower and threw them downwards.
Thick rolling logs and winches... were also thrown downwards one after another.
I could hear the roars and screams of monster beasts coming from below the city tower.
But because the distance was too close, even though the monster beast was easily hit, it still had a chance to counterattack the siege guards.
Dozens of "ground spiny lizards" climbed up to the middle of the city wall, suddenly swung their long tails, and the soil spines condensed at the tails suddenly shot up the tower like arrows.
Several city guards were unprepared and were shot into sieves by the earth thorns, killing them on the spot.
There are also more than a dozen iron-backed apes whose cultivation has reached the peak of the Brilliance level, with sharp claws and flexible bodies.
He escaped the attack on the city tower, quickly climbed up the city wall, and dragged down several city guards who were throwing logs, but he jumped on the top of the wall to start a killing spree.
Fortunately, Han Feng and others reacted quickly, rushed forward in an instant, and used all their methods to strangle these apes on the spot...
Immediately, an offensive and defensive battle between humans and monsters broke out.
The soldiers on the tower threw weapons wildly to prevent the monsters from attacking the city.
Han Feng and others were sniping at any time on the tower, those powerful monsters that rushed onto the tower.
The two sides were unable to attack and defend and fell into a stalemate.
The monsters suffered a sharp increase in casualties under the frantic strangulation of the city guards, Han Feng and others.
However, the city guards were inevitably killed during the defense process. In just half an hour of stalemate, dozens of people were killed.
Seeing this situation, Han Feng couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
When the beast tide broke out, those at the forefront were the weaker low-level monsters.
As the monster beasts attack the city gate, more and more powerful monster beasts gather behind them.
In just a few moments, nearly a hundred late-stage Hui-level and even early-stage Chen-level monsters rushed up the city wall.
With Han Feng's current strength and super sensory power, it is naturally very easy to strangle these monsters.
But he could predict that if this development continued, the number of monsters rushing onto the city wall would only increase and become stronger, and the city gate would eventually be lost.
What worried Han Feng even more was that he vaguely sensed that there were several terrifying auras lurking in the distant Beiyuan forest that made him feel uneasy.
He looked sideways at the top general of Beiyang City, "Wei Zhengping", standing at the top of the city.
At this moment, his eyes were also looking deep into the Beiyuan forest, his eyes were extremely solemn.
Tonight, Beiyang City is in danger!
