"Ha, haha, hahaha!" Ji Xia was carrying a heavy halberd, surrounded by flames, and was ready to kill.
But suddenly he saw the coalition soldiers standing blankly on the ladder, looking at the distance of more than ten feet between the ladder and the city head, and he couldn't help laughing loudly. He grabbed the air with his left hand, and a trace of fire quickly condensed into Ji Xia's palm. In the blink of an eye, a red fire thunder the size of a bowl condensed and took shape with a low roar.
The five fingers flicked and released, and there was a loud bang. The fire thunder was entangled by nine tiny dragon shadows, and hit a ladder as fast as lightning. The billowing flames exploded, and countless thin beams of lightning rapidly jumped and refracted in the flames. Dozens of coalition soldiers at the top of the ladder were scorched by the thunder and fire, and fell to the ground from the high ladder with hissing and wailing sounds.
Yi Di and others also laughed loudly. They drew their bows and arrows and shot at the coalition soldiers who were unable to advance or retreat on the ladder.
At a distance of more than ten feet, not to mention these Dongyi archers with amazing archery skills, even Yu Mu, who usually moved the most awkwardly, laughed and held up a strong bow, and shot the enemies on the ladder with unusual accuracy.
Large arrows flew down from the city wall, and the coalition soldiers on the ladder fell to the ground like raindrops. Large ripples quickly appeared in the moat below, and the arms and legs of the troll octopus snaked up from the water, pulling down the fallen soldiers. The coalition soldiers were dragged into the deep river bottom.
Finally, some coalition soldiers couldn't suppress the fear and anger in their hearts. They held shields in their left hands and long knives in their right hands. They roared and carried the rain of arrows on the city top, and jumped up on the ladder with all their strength, thinking... I want to jump on top of the city.
The ladder is still more than ten feet away from reaching the top of Yaoshan City. At this moment, the front end of the ladder is several feet shorter than the top of the city wall of Yaoshan City.
Normally, even a slightly stronger human warrior could easily cross this distance, but under the suppression of the Heaven and Earth Formation, even a master at the level of the Witch Emperor would find it difficult to leap forward in this situation. The head of Shangyao Mountain City.
Large groups of warriors jumped into the air. They roared loudly and jumped over a distance of seven to eight feet. Seeing that they were still three to five feet high and about ten feet away from the city head, the momentum of their jumps was exhausted. , dancing and falling downward.
In the moat, countless wriggling troll octopus arms were waving happily, and before they even fell into the moat, they were already wrapped around them impatiently.
Gongsun Lang, who was supervising the battle at the rear, stared blankly at the ladder that was shortened by a large length for no reason, and remained silent for a long time.
This kind of ladder was originally designed to be used in the Akasaka Mountain defense line. The original intention of the design was to counterattack those camps and fortresses located on the top of the mountain after the aliens captured the human camps and fortresses under the influence of the aliens' air-forbidden formations.
Akasaka Mountain is steep and majestic, with any cliff easily reaching a height of over 3,000 to 5,000 feet. Therefore, the ladders in these ladders should be at least 5,000 feet long, enough to easily cross the moat and reach the top of Yaoshan City.
"Why is it so short? This... the ladders in these ladders are only five hundred feet long at most!" Gongsun Lang screamed hysterically: "So much shorter? How could it be so much shorter? How can I attack the city? This What should I do?"
The senior deacon of the Gongsun family just now secretly approached Gongsun Lang's ear, and he murmured in a low voice: "Master Lang, these heavenly ladders were also specially 'processed' by Master Xiong before the expedition... Well, these are all used by the Heavenly Court. It is the essence of a hundred golds, forged by tens of thousands of secret methods. It is extremely hard, has excellent toughness, and has extremely strong magic resistance. The cost is extremely high!"
Licking his lips, the senior deacon said with a smile: "Master Xiong has taken away most of the ladders in these ladders... Isn't this cost-saving? Master Xiong is planning to sell these ladders to the major clans in the future. 's... They bought a ladder, but found that the ladder inside was not long enough, and Master Xiong could charge them more money afterwards!"
"My brother... you are not my brother, you are my biological father!" Gongsun Lang looked up helplessly and sighed. He looked at the thousands of ladders half in the air, and looked at the minions falling from the ladders like raindrops. The soldier suddenly grabbed the senior deacon by the collar: "Tell me, brother, I want at least 30% of the profit from this!"
"At most 10%!" The senior deacon looked at Gongsun Lang seriously: "Master Lang, Master Xiong is not just your brother. This benefit must be shared by everyone, otherwise this kind of business will not last long! And Master Xiong Having said that, Di Xu is everyone’s backer now, and the bulk of the profits must go to Di Xu.”
"Qian, if you give it to Emperor Xu, isn't it equivalent to giving it to himself?" Gongsun Lang looked at the senior deacon with a gloomy expression: "Okay, we'll talk about the division later. Tell me, how can we attack the city wall?" ah?"
The senior deacon glanced at the soldiers who were in a state of confusion and were seriously injured by the arrow rain on the city. He was silent for a while and suddenly laughed: "Isn't this simple? Isn't it just a dozen feet away?" Human ladder, those guys are so stupid!”
'Gah', Gongsun Lang let out a strange cry in a daze. He looked at the chaotic military formation in front of him and suddenly laughed: "Oh, you are so smart? I didn't expect that my Gongsun family would still be like you. A great talent! Hey, what’s your name? From now on, I can work for Mr. Wolf with peace of mind, I won’t treat you badly!”
The senior deacon laughed hastily: "Lord Wolf, I am your nephew Gongsun Liang! You must remember me... Back then, Lord Sheep made false accounts and was ordered to be thoroughly investigated by the Presbyterian Council. Hehe, those accounts of the boy, But nothing wrong was found!"
Gongsun Lang laughed as if he suddenly understood. He patted Gongsun Liang's shoulder hard and said happily: "So it's you. I remembered it. Well, follow Master Lang well, and you will benefit from it!"
On the city wall, Ji Xia and others watched in stunned silence as the coalition soldiers on the ladder suddenly roared at the top of their lungs. They dropped their weapons and shields and stood up one after another. The hands and feet of many coalition soldiers were tightly intertwined, and they gradually stood up to dozens of feet high. Then they fell forward violently, and with a dull crashing sound, they forcibly set up a structure between the top of the ladder and the city wall. Ladders for people.
Large groups of coalition soldiers let out low roars of joy. They lined up neatly, stepping on the bodies of their comrades, and quickly rushed towards Yaoshan City.
"Who is commanding these warriors to fight? I must break his dog legs and then chop off his head!" Ji Xia looked at the human warriors who were gritting their teeth and building human ladders. The corners of his eyes were beating violently, and he shouted loudly roared.
With a wave of the halberd in his hand, a burst of fire swept out. The three human ladders in front of Ji Xia shattered into pieces, and thousands of human warriors who built the human ladders were wiped out.
Ji Xia raised his halberd and shouted sternly: "You men, kill!"
Human ladders were destroyed one after another, and countless human bodies fell into the moat.
