Chapter two hundred and seventeen: crisis

"Golden Pill Realm!" Su Juexin and Su Mu were shocked at the same time when they saw the magician on the mammoth bone elephant.

Su Jing shook his head and said, "It's just the peak of foundation building. He has no golden elixir realm. The control of the black knights around him has formed a similar effect, which should be caused by the equipment on his body."

"Can you shoot and kill me at such a distance?" Su Mu asked.

Su Jing shook his head and said, "It's three miles away. The mother and son can hit so far from the soul cannon, but it also loses its power. Even if Ma Chao is there, he has to reach the peak of foundation building to shoot the magician with archery so far. The enemy cannot be unaware of it. Even if his realm is improved by equipment, there will be some sense and we cannot lock it up."

The standard of the empire is that two hundred feet are one mile, and a distance of more than three miles exceeds six hundred feet. This is equivalent to 15 kilometers away on the earth.

The range of the Empire's heavy crossbow is two hundred feet, and the crossbow cannon is slightly far away. However, the parabolic attack speed is very slow and it is used to deal with fixed targets. You can try the serial giant crossbow on Su Jing's chariot. However, if it is so far, it will take some time for the crossbow arrow to fly, and the opponent will not be unable to avoid it.

In the sky, the airship dropped an oil tank, which fell on the position where the refugees and the skeleton soldiers confronted each other, exploded and the flames soared into the sky. The skeleton soldiers looked a little afraid of the flames, and their movements suddenly became much slower.

The oil tank burned and released thick smoke. The refugee immediately became choked and coughed. The magician was furious and pointed his finger at the airship in the sky.

It was too late for the Qi Refiner on the city wall to summon the airship back. Even if he summoned it in advance, the airship's speed was quite pitiful.

A bone spear flashed in front of the magician, broke out of the air, and pierced the airbag on the upper part of the airship. The Qi Refiner who controlled the airship had no choice but to detonate the airship directly and burned in the air.

The most expensive part of the manufacturing of airships is the control array of airships. The other structures such as skins are still easy to accept. The formations that do not want to control airships are studied by the enemy, so the Qi Refiner decisively destroyed the airship. The battle on the ground suddenly changed.

Wherever the smoke passed, the collapsed refugees suddenly had blood red in their eyes, and countless scenes of anger appeared in their hearts.

They seemed to see those skeleton soldiers rushing into their village under the command of the magician, stripping away the living people, tearing them off their flesh and blood, and creating new skeletons. Their wives and children cried in the fire.

The limited true qi in their bodies was also stimulated by the thick smoke and became thick and grand.

"Kill!"

I don't know who shouted, and the refugees turned around and rushed towards the skeleton soldier. The magician was stunned on the mammoth bone elephant, realizing that he was negligent and that the aircraft was here to deliver medicine.

But this medicine from the Dongqin Empire is too bad, right?

If it were yourself, each soldier would take medicine before setting off, and then use his mental power to induce his combat power in an instant, which can create unexpected effects on the battlefield.

Although these soldiers have exploded, their combat effectiveness is still not very good!

The skeleton soldier steadily forward and collided with the refugees again, splashing flesh and blood. This time, the refugees' fighting style was the same as the skeleton soldier, and they did not defend at all. They slashed forward with one sword and one sword, shattering the skeleton soldier's bones.

These refugees who inhaled smoke rushed wildly, and flesh and blood soared into the sky in front of the skeleton soldiers, but no one retreated. The 22nd row of skeleton soldiers were torn apart in the blink of an eye.

After the refugees broke through the front, the skeleton soldiers on both wings turned toward the middle, as if they were a huge pliers, crushing the trapped refugees to pieces.

The battlefield was covered in blood and flesh, the skeleton soldiers were stiff and their strength was very strong. The refugees attacked by the skeleton soldiers were all broken into pieces. The magician frowned and said, "It's not good to continue fighting like this. How many skeletons do we have?"

"Master, there are about 150,000 skeletons."

"That's fine. I'll raise 300,000 yuan and stole the city and stationed it. As the pioneers, the empire will have rewards. Each of you will get at least 200 gold coins." The magician originally wanted to say a thousand, but later he felt that he should leave some, and the reward immediately shrank.

The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that the iron-armored soldiers at the top of the city did not look afraid at all. Maybe they rely on the city walls to be high enough?

But no matter how high the city wall is, it is meaningless to skeletons. These bones are used to pave the way.

On the top of the city, a soldier sent a notebook, and Su decided to open it. The notebook wrote about the enemy information observed by soldiers on the wooden tower in the city using Taoist devices.

Su Juexin read it and felt a little relaxed. The strength of the skeleton soldiers is not a problem for the imperial soldiers. The only thing to consider is morale. The skeleton soldiers do not know the pain and are not afraid of death. Even if ten skeletons exchange for the life of one imperial soldier, the first one to collapse is the imperial soldiers.

Fortunately, the skeleton soldiers are fragile, and ordinary long-range attacks can also eliminate them. The trouble is the knights wearing black armor. The black iron armor on these knights is more than half an inch thick. Ordinary bows and arrows cannot be shot at all. Heavy crossbows or talisman arrows are needed to effectively kill them.

On the black armor, there are rune formation drawings outside the known system, which should offset the Taoist technique.

The mount of the black-armored knight has no life breath and should be a dead creature. In this case, it is difficult to offset the impact of these cavalrymen by attacking the mounts. The combat power of the black-armored knight is probably no less than the early stage of the innate realm. The number is as large as 2,400 people.

This made the army at Hulukou lose the possibility of leaving the city to fight. According to observations, the cavalry troops at Hulukou can only be on the same combat effectiveness as the soldiers of this army. The number of cavalry at Hulukou is only 400.

"You can only defend to the death." Su Juexin sighed. There are tall towers on both sides of the city wall at the gourd mouth, which can put down metal horse paths and let the cavalry rush down to attack. This is a huge threat to the siege. Now the cavalry cannot be sent out, otherwise they will be entangled by the opponent's cavalry. With a six-fold advantage, the black-armored cavalry can wipe out the Su family's cavalry.

But it is not possible to defend the dead. The number of flesh and blood skeletons in the distance has exceeded 100,000. If ordinary bows and arrows are difficult to effectively attack, there will be insufficient crossbow arrows in your city.

Su Juexin calculated quickly in his mind, and issued orders one by one, all of them were aimed at the newly obtained information. After the archers received the order, all ordinary skeletons in front were destroyed, they retreated and rested, and after recovering their strength, they replaced the iron armor to assist the heavy infantry in defending the city.

The original configuration of 1,200 archers on the city wall is now only 200, ready to open crossbows, but still need to replace the iron armor and be in hand-to-hand combat at any time.

The Imperial Archers are not weak, but they do not store enough talisman arrows in the city. These archers have only shooting skills, but cannot pose a threat to the enemy.

The thick smoke caused by the fire was still drifting away quickly, and the number of refugees had dropped to 20,000. In just a dozen minutes of battle, more than 10,000 young and strong people were lost, and the rest could not last for the same time.

The refugees near one end of the city wall began to move backwards, trying to enter the protection area of ​​the city wall. Su was determined not to order an attack. At this time, they were no longer important.

The crossbow cannons on the top of the city began to twist the turntable, and the giant crossbow also opened the formation. The crossbow box was transported up. The Qi Refiner stimulated the formation under his feet, and suddenly there was a surge of heat. The soldiers felt that the gloves were not so hard. This was the advantage of defense, at least the body would not be so easy to fatigue.

Behind the city wall, ten earthen platforms lined up, and even larger catapults were set up. This thing was left behind during the construction of the Hulukou, and was still guarding against Buddhist counterattacks. Later, the situation on the Sunset Ruins was stable, and as long as there were hundreds of cavalry to deal with all the scenes, the Su family sealed the catapult.

Large-scale wars did not use this thing, so they were not sent back to Fumo City.

After setting up this large trencher, the people from the Su family found that the rock bombs used to fire were gone! Fortunately, the number of oil tanks in the city was huge, and more than a dozen oil tanks were put together in net bags and placed on the leather pockets of the large trencher. A gas refiner came and looked at the metal nameplate on the trencher, then calculated it, and explained to the soldiers in charge of the trencher how long should each range be used to ignite the oil tank.

The soldiers in the mouth of the gourd have not fought for many years, but they are still elite, and many matters have been quickly resolved.

"If the enemy does not care about casualties, we cannot defend it." Su decided to say helplessly to Su Mu: "Elder, take the princess away while the city has not yet been broken. Go to Fumo City to ask for help. I guess this is just the enemy's vanguard."

Su Jing shook his head and said, "Even if it is just a vanguard, the enemy's powerful forces are all because of the undead magic, which transformed the corpses outside the city into skeleton soldiers. I think the opponent's efforts are quite large. As far as I understand, a magician in the foundation-building stage should not have more than one thousand skeletons at one time. Now for more than 100,000 skeletons outside, the enemy must have used things like Jade Talisman Book. After this battle, the enemy has no more materials to choose from, so it is not that difficult to fight."

More than 3,000 people had gathered under the city, and the rest of the refugees, after inhaling smoke, fought with the skeletons for life and exhausted them. The skeletons walked towards the more than 3,000 people under the city, with neat steps and dark red flames leaping in their eyes.

There is nothing more devastating than this scene. Behind him is a high wall and in front of him is a legion from hell. These refugees no longer feel like crying. They know that the people behind him will not open the city gate. Compared with their lives, the empire after the pass is more important.

They were all sinners, and it was good to go to mining without being arrested. Now if they want to enter the city, they have to risk being rushed in by the enemy.

"Fight with those monsters!" A refugee wiped his tears and held the long sword in his hand tightly. Without waiting for others to respond, he went out and left the area protected by crossbow arrows on the city. He knew that he would die, and the position he stood was the stepping stone for those skeletons.

The mourning soldiers at the city counterattacked, and Su Juexin then ordered the approaching skeleton soldiers to shoot accurately.

The skeleton soldiers have approached less than a hundred feet from the city wall. At this distance, the archer can effectively snipe the target. If the enemy is a Qi Refiner, there is still a problem of difficulty in locking. The enemy is a skeleton, and the soul power is weak, the archer can aim calmly.

Su determined to look at the red flame in the skeleton soldier's eyes and shouted: "Tell me, the archer shoots the skeleton's head, don't shoot the torso!"

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The soul-catching war drum was beaten, and Su Jing's temporary modified metal puppet was hitting the war drum tirelessly. The sound of the drums spread out in all directions like water waves. The soldiers of the Su family were immediately excited, and the flow of true qi in their bodies became smoother. The skeleton soldiers approaching the city wall suddenly decreased their speed, their hands and feet became more stiff, and the dark red flames in their eyes were shaking, as if they could be extinguished at any time.

"Prepare……"

At the command of the archer's small flag official, all the archers opened the long bow in their hands and took feather arrows.

"put!"
