In normal times, when the human race fights with the powerful bull demon race, it is already a very proud thing to be able to achieve one-to-one casualties.
Now, with the death of 320,000 people, the Dali Niu Demon Tribe paid the price of 500,000 people, but it was Yourong's defeat.
However, this is just the beginning.
After defeating the 400,000-strong army of Li Feng and others, the Dali Niu Demon Clan advanced all the way to Blood River City.
Upon hearing the news, Lei Jiuming had a gloomy look on his face.
The war just started and 320,000 people were lost. How long can the remaining 1.2 million people sustain it
Thinking of this, he felt particularly agitated: "Someone, go and invite Nangong Wuliang."
Soon, Nangong Wuliang arrived.
"I've met the commander-in-chief." Nangong Wuliang said, clasping his fists.
"Nangong, when will the military reinforcements arrive?" Lei Jiuming asked directly.
Nangong Wuliang thought for a moment and said, "Two days later, one hundred thousand people will arrive, three days later, fifty thousand people will arrive, five days later, two hundred thousand people will arrive, and finally one hundred and fifty thousand people should be able to arrive within ten days." Arrive within the day!”
Hearing this, the worry on Lei Jiuming's face did not diminish at all: "Nangong, you must also understand the current situation in Blood River City. When the 500,000 people arrive one after another, I am afraid that Blood River City will be destroyed. Therefore, I hope you If we can convey it to the military aircraft camp, it is best to mobilize another million troops and horses within three days to have any hope of defending Blood River City."
Nangong Wuliang nodded: "Okay, I will convey your request to the military aircraft battalion. As for whether the military aircraft battalion will send troops, I don't know."
"Please!" Lei Jiuming said gratefully.
After sending Nangong Wuliang away, Lei Jiuming rubbed his head in pain. In at most an hour, the army of the Bull Demon Clan will arrive at the city. Although Blood River City has high walls and thick walls, it may not be able to withstand the fierce attack of the Bull Demon Clan. Block.
An hour later.
Nearly two million soldiers and horses of the Dali Niu Demon Tribe have arrived at the foot of Blood River City. They are so densely packed that the soldiers on the city wall feel numb.
With a flash of figure, Song Yan appeared on the city wall.
"attack!"
The command flags of the Bull Demon Clan surged, and then, nearly two million Bull Demon Clan roared and charged towards Blood River City.
The Dali Niu Demon Clan doesn't have much structure in fighting, and almost all of them are brutal attacks.
But the Bull Demon Tribe has abundant physical strength and a strong constitution. Even if they fight for three days and three nights, there is no problem. They are simply war machines. Moreover, the powerful Bull Demon Tribe is ferocious in nature and is almost not afraid of death when fighting.
In comparison, the physical strength and physique of the human race are not as good as those of the powerful bull demons. Even the defenders of the city saw the faces of the human warriors on the wall turning pale as they watched the densely packed bull demons rushing towards the bottom of the city.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Boohoo!"
Dense arrows fell from the sky, shooting the bull demons rushing in front to the ground, but more powerful bull demons rushed in immediately.
In addition, on land, the Bull Demon Clan was very fast. In less than ten breaths, they rushed under the city wall.
As soon as they reached the city wall, those bull demons waved their giant weapons and smashed the city wall crazily, intending to collapse the city wall.
Seeing this scene, Song Yan couldn't help but shake his head secretly. This bull demon tribe was useless except for being reckless.
Of course, the human race is not much better. Apart from using arrows to defend, there is no other way.
The siege battle lasted for more than four hours. The Dali Niu Demon Clan left tens of thousands of corpses and retreated. Seeing the retreating Dali Niu Demon Clan, the human soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but cheer.
Just when Song Yan was about to leave, he discovered that a group of bull demons shrouded in black robes suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
There are probably more than a hundred of these bull demons. They all hold a blood-red crystal similar to the size of a skull in their hands, and they are muttering something in their mouths.
"Who are they?"
Song Yan grabbed a soldier and asked.
"have no idea."
The other party shook his head blankly.
With a thought in his mind, Song Yan activated his clairvoyance power. When he looked again, he found that the bull demons shrouded in black robes were using the skull crystals in their hands to absorb the souls on the battlefield.
For a moment, Song Yan couldn't help but frown, feeling that something was wrong.
With a flash of body, Song Yan returned to his courtyard, and then started writing.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion with what he had written.
When he saw Lei Jiuming, Song Yan couldn't help but be surprised. He had martial arts cultivation, but at this moment his face looked haggard.
"What's wrong with you kid?" Lei Jiuming asked without any politeness.
"These are some ways I thought of to defend the city. If you think it's suitable, try it!" Song Yan handed Lei Jiuming what he had written in half an hour.
Lei Jiuming opened the paper and read it carefully, and then there was a burst of applause.
Early the next morning, there were thousands of simple trebuchets on the walls of Blood River City. At the same time, there were iron pots next to the trebuchets. The liquid in the pot was already boiling and emitting a stench. The firewood was burning brightly.
A quarter of an hour later.
The Bull Demon Clan army attacks again.
Densely packed with no end in sight.
Two thousand meters, one thousand meters, eight hundred meters.
"Trebuchet ready!"
With an order, the two soldiers placed boulders weighing a thousand kilograms on the trebuchet.
"put!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A thousand large rocks flew out at the same time and smashed into the Bull Demon Clan army.
Immediately, more than a thousand bull demons were crushed to death.
Seeing the success of the trebuchet, the human warriors were very excited and continued to load the trebuchet with stones.
"Put it back!"
"Swish swish!"
Another round of flying rocks flew out, directly smashing more than a thousand powerful bull demons to death.
However, after two rounds, the vanguard of the Bull Demon Tribe had already reached the city wall and slammed their weapons against the city wall.
"fall!"
Nearly a thousand large iron cauldrons with boiling stinking liquid were placed on the city wall by two pairs of soldiers, and then the boiling liquid inside was poured down.
"ah!"
"Ho! Roar!"
The boiling and stinky liquid falling from the sky splashed on the bodies of the powerful bull demons, burning them to the point of screaming, and many of them were even directly scalded to death.
Nearly ten thousand powerful bull demons were injured in an instant.
At the same time, the trebuchet did not stop working. Each round could take away the lives of thousands of demons, which was much better than the effect of bows and arrows.
Groups of peasants carrying wooden buckets appeared on the city wall and poured the excrement water in the buckets into iron pots.
Yes, the foul-smelling boiling liquid just now was boiled feces water.
Feces is human excrement. Once boiled and contaminated, it will cause a large burn area and is prone to infection. The most important thing is that feces contains various toxins. Once poured into the mouth and nose, it will inevitably be poisoned.
Half an hour later, some trebuchets started to go on strike. After all, these trebuchets were all driven out and were of poor quality. It was very good to be able to use them for half an hour.
After another half an hour, most of the trebuchets were almost useless.
Then, another weapon for defending the city came on stage - rolling logs!
In the blink of an eye, it was evening again. Due to the addition of three kinds of weapons to defend the city, the Daliniu Demon Tribe had suffered greater casualties, at least twice as many as yesterday.
Upon hearing the news, Lei Jiuming couldn't help laughing.
And Song Yan came to the city wall again. Looking at the group of black-robed bull demons below who were collecting souls on the battlefield, he couldn't help but wonder: "Is the purpose of the bull demons promoting this war just to collect souls?"
