Chapter 128 Old Nie on the Wall
Chapter 128 Old Nie on the Wall
The beaten laborer did not dare to complain, so he turned around and continued to move the stones.
On the city walls, fighting was taking place everywhere.
A city defense soldier holding a two-meter-long spear had just poked down a rat-like evil spirit with the spear, and when he turned around, a spider-shaped evil spirit beside him covered his head with spider silk.
After struggling for a while, the guards on the side were about to go over to help, but they saw him being dragged down the city wall by the evil spider, leaving only a terrified scream in the air.
boom!
Then the kerosene exploded on the body of the evil spider.
A snake-like evil spirit took advantage of the darkness and jumped onto the city wall. It was discovered by a civilian who was carrying supplies. Just as the civilian was about to warn him, he felt his throat tighten and the snake-like evil spirit had already bitten off his neck.
At the same time, several scaly-clawed beasts followed closely behind, taking advantage of the moment when the city defense troops were distracted and climbed up the city wall.
Whoosh, two arrows shot out from the lookout on the city wall and hit one of the scaly-clawed beasts in the throat. At the same time, a figure with a flash of a knife leaped down and chopped the snake-like evil spirit into several pieces.
And a burly figure was even more ruthless. He directly grabbed the log placed on the city wall and swept it horizontally, cleanly sweeping away the two scaly-clawed beasts that were still unstable.
Then, without stopping, he pressed the log and smashed it directly under the city wall. The falling log seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, and it smashed seven or eight evil spirits along the way, smashing them all to the bottom of the city wall and turning them into meat paste.
This series of operations were naturally carried out by the monks.
Of course, the evil spirits attacking the city are not just there to be killed. If the lowest-level first-level evil spirits are just appetizers, then the second-level evil spirits are the hard dishes that the monks have to deal with seriously.
A four-armed rock bear slowly climbed the city wall of Hengzhou Prefecture. With every step, its palms dug deeply into the bricks of the wall.
If the wall of Hengzhou Prefecture was not too thick, it would even want to break through the wall and rush in directly.
The rolling stones and logs from the city wall hit it, but were all deflected by the two extra arms. Then, flaming kerosene bombs were thrown at it in an attempt to burn it to death, but the four-armed rock bear was able to immediately turn its body into rock, and the damage from the flames could be immediately ignored.
Instead, it was the effect of being covered in flames that frightened the city defense troops.
Roar!
The four-armed rock bear leaped onto the city wall, and a nearby city defense soldier immediately swung his sword and chopped at it. The blade of the ordinary steel sword chopped on the body of the four-armed rock bear, as if it was hitting granite. Then a gust of wind from its claws swept across, and the city defense soldier's head was instantly smashed to pieces.
A flash of sword and talisman appeared at the side, and balls of flame exploded on the body of the four-armed rock bear. The two city defense monks guarding in the dark also took action.
But after several fights, the four-armed rock bear was not seriously injured. Instead, the monk who attacked at close range was caught by the arm by the four-armed rock bear.
With tremendous force, the monk was lifted up high and slammed hard on the ground of the city wall. A handful of blood burst out on the ground, and then he was thrown off the city wall by the four-armed rock bear like mud.
Whoosh!Whoosh!
A distress firework rose up. This was a distress signal sent out by the remaining monk when he saw that he was no match for his opponent.
Behind the four-armed rock bear, a large number of evil spirits began to climb up the city wall through the gap.
At the same time, countless monks and ordinary soldiers who had rushed over, like moths to a flame, also flocked towards the four-armed rock bear and the evil spirit behind it.
A city defense soldier risked his life to rush to the side of the four-armed rock bear, hugged its waist with one hand, and stabbed the waist with the long knife in his hand.
Even though he knew that he could not break the opponent's defense, the opponent would definitely be distracted and try to kill him, which would also buy time for the reinforcements to arrive later.
Even if the time gained is only a moment.
After an evil spirit climbed up the city wall, it discovered a crossbow that was firing non-stop not far away. It seemed to recall that one of its companions had been shot to death by this guy's giant arrows, so it rushed towards the people operating the crossbow with murderous eyes.
There are more than a dozen crossbows, and each one requires five people to operate it at the same time. Facing the evil spirits rushing towards them, no one stopped what they were doing.
Several laborers who were carrying rolling stones discovered it. The first one of them stepped forward to block the evil spirit, but was hit by the evil spirit's claw and half of his head was smashed. However, the laborer following behind him just picked up the stone and hit the evil spirit on the head.
The evil spirit felt pain, turned around and bit the man's shoulder. The civilian was also furious at this moment, knowing that if the crossbow was destroyed by the evil spirit, the evil spirit attacking the city would become even more unscrupulous.
Then he gritted his teeth, grabbed the evil spirit's neck with both hands, and dragged it towards the city wall with all his strength, but he didn't have enough strength because the other two farmers had arrived.
One of them raised a stone and smashed the evil spirit's head hard, while the other one was also fearless and followed the person in front of him to drag the evil spirit towards the city wall.
But ordinary people are weak in front of the evil spirit. The two people who were holding the evil spirit were quickly caught and killed, leaving only the last person who used all his remaining strength to drag the evil spirit off the city wall.
A tear rolled down the corner of a crossbowman's eye, and his hands moved faster.
boom!
A flash of knife light flashed, and the four-armed rock bear fell to the ground with a bang. The crowd cheered, and then several monks stepped forward, and the lights of various soul weapons and magic tools flashed. In a moment, the evil spirits that had originally climbed onto the city wall were killed completely.
At this moment, Yang Qing put away his knife and stood looking towards the south sky. A bright red firework passed by, and the location seemed to be not far from him.
The four-armed rock bear was just killed by him. At this moment, the distress signal was ignited again and they were about to rush to the next location.
"Let's go! Over there."
A middle-aged man in the crowd waved his hand, and Yang Qing followed everyone to the rescue point.
Yang Qing's city defense suicide squad originally had ten people, but after handling two rescue operations, there are only seven left. It is estimated that if there are a few more waves, they will have to merge into one team with other suicide squads.
This death squad includes notorious bandits, death row prisoners, or monks who have been punished like Yang Qing, but there are more volunteers.
As long as you can survive this night, those who deserve forgiveness will be forgiven, and those who deserve rewards will be rewarded.
At this moment, it was only an hour since the evil spirits attacked the city, and there were already a large number of casualties on the city walls, not only the city defense troops, but also ordinary civilians.
A city defense officer ran down the wall and shouted, "Send some more people up. We don't have enough people on the wall. If the wall is breached, no one will survive. This evil spirit won't care whether you surrender or not."
The crowd was silent for a moment.
Then a 15 or 16-year-old boy shouted, "I'll do it!"
A woman next to him wanted to stop him, but the young man stopped her with his hand. Then the two of them hugged each other and cried for a while. After that, the young man stepped out of the crowd and climbed up the city wall.
Someone took the lead, and immediately many people followed. The crowd began to boil, and soon, hundreds of people followed and climbed up the city wall.
Among the group of people, there was an old man who was also tremblingly following. At that time, the city defense officer looked at the old man and wanted to shout to stop him, asking why the old man was so old and still causing trouble on the city wall. But after a pause, he held back.
There is nothing missing on the city wall at the moment, but time is especially lacking. If this old man goes up to the city wall, it would be useful even if it is just to kill some evil spirits and delay some time.
"The world is difficult, and human life is worthless. Don't blame me for being cruel."
The city defense officer muttered to himself, with a hint of pity in his eyes.
And if Yang Qing were here, he would definitely recognize this old man as his cheap master, the old man Nie who should be guarding the tomb in the Shrine of Heroes.
The master and disciple, one had just left, and the other had just climbed onto the city wall.
