Chapter 688 Monster Beast Attacks Xuzhou

The sky will be bright, and its darkness is especially strong!

In the last hour before dawn, the visibility in the dark night was only tens of meters, and the night was dense to a terrifying level.

This made countless Qin soldiers on high alert, clenched their weapons tightly, and sweated unconsciously in their hands, but none of the Qin soldiers dared to relax.

Because they had already vaguely guessed in their hearts that when dawn appeared, it would be an opportunity for tens of millions of monsters to attack across the board.

Once you relax at this time, you will definitely pay a painful price, even the price of your life.

"The whole army is on alert, order the battle drum battalion, and use the voice as the order to order all the troops and horses to take their places and prepare to face the monsters."

Watching the night gradually dissipate, there was also a faint hint of fish belly white on the eastern sky, about the last tea time before dawn.

Jing Cui, the commander of the Qin army who led 200,000 Qin army officers and men in charge of defending the Baili line of defense in the first county of the six east three counties of Xuzhou, was also extremely alert.

Although Jing Cui had been idle for many years before this, he had never relaxed his study of world affairs and various wars, and even summed up several volumes of military books.

Jing Cui's military talent told him that the monster was about to attack.

Sure enough, after the last color of the night dissipated, the fish belly white above the eastern sky was completely exposed.

On the Xuzhou Plain, a strange chirping sound spread throughout the nine heavens, followed by the endless rushing sound of mountains and tsunamis, and the earth became shaken by this influence, one can imagine the momentum of monsters.

Looking around, countless Qin soldiers took a deep breath.

I saw that on the vast Xuzhou Plain, countless types of monsters of different shapes were flooding the mountains and plains, looking at the Xuzhou defense line that was more than 2,000 miles long.

The number is so large that it covers the sky and the sun, stretches endlessly, and sees no end.

It was even more spectacular and powerful than the Qin army's wave of black armor. Even Jing Cui and other famous Qin army commanders who were on the front line could not estimate the scale of this monster's attack.

Immediately advancing hundreds of feet, while everyone was stunned, countless monsters had advanced to an area less than 20 miles away from the Xuzhou defense line.

"The crossbow troops are ready, the catapult troops are ready!"

After reacting, countless Qin army generals also issued orders one after another.

Immediately, various long-range strike forces were in place on the Xuzhou line of defense.

On the Baili line of defense that Jing Cui was in charge of, there were immediately 50,000 crossbowmen who controlled thousands of large crossbow machines, thousands of God of War machine crossbows, and tens of thousands of individual strong bows and crossbows. Pointing diagonally to the sky, ready to launch a thousand arrows attack at any time.

And behind the city wall, there are also 40,000 catapult troops who are manipulating 10,000 catapults to load stones the size of grinding discs, and they are also ready to send out the anger of the Qin army at any time.

"The war drum battalion sent an order, the bow and crossbow troops were launched at ten miles, and the catapult troops were launched at five miles. All the power of long-range strikes was used to maximize the damage to the monsters."

When the monster army advanced to fifteen miles away from the city wall, Jing Cui issued an order, which was also the maximum strike distance that the weapons of the two major long-range strike units of the Qin army could reach.

Fifteen miles... Thirteen miles, twelve miles, eleven miles...

getting closer...

After a few breaths, it was ten miles away.

Immediately, the Qin army's war drum battalion issued hundreds of trumpets and hundreds of battle results, and issued the command of the battle.

In an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and round after round of arrow rain rose into the air, and then fell suddenly, causing casualties to countless monsters, especially low-level monsters.

Skip-line charges are impossible without the advent of massively revolutionary long-range strike weapons.

As a result, countless monsters and beasts gathered on the plain, and the Qin army bowmen didn't even need to aim, and they just frantically repeated the action of raising the arrow and pulling the string.

In other words, as long as the strength and angle are enough, you can shoot with your eyes closed.

Under this influence, the monster beasts who charged against the Qin army's ten thousand arrows offensive also suffered more and more casualties, but they failed to slow down the monster's offensive in the slightest.

Because the number of monsters participating in the attack is too large, overwhelming, like a tide, there is no end to it.

Even if there are casualties in the monster beasts in front, the monster beasts that follow one after another will continue to crowd the same clan in front of them.

The bodies of the monsters who died in the battle in the front were also trampled to pieces by the torrent of monsters behind, which was unstoppable.

And under the control of the high-level monster, the biological fear instinct of all monsters has been reduced to the lowest point.

They are all crazy to charge the Xuzhou defense line, even in the face of the rain of steel arrows.

Despite the round after round of arrows from the human army, the monster army was severely hit by the Qin army's catapult troops after advancing to a zone five miles away from the city wall.

Dropping 10,000 boulders at a time was like a meteor shower raining down on the sky, causing the demands on the plain to suffer the greatest losses again, but the situation still did not fundamentally reverse.

"Keng..."

The sound of a sharp sword being unsheathed sounded, only when the army of monsters advanced to less than a mile from the city wall.

Above the city wall, Jing Cui, the commander of the Qin army with the third-order mortal spirit cultivation base, also pulled out the sword in his hand, and his expression was full of determination.

"Imperial soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

Jing Cui shouted in a deep voice, and received a response from thousands of soldiers in the empire.

"promise!"

At this moment, the fifty thousand bowmen above the city wall retreated and continued to launch ten thousand arrows in a parabolic form to strike at the monsters, and they focused on taking care of the flying monsters in the sky.

Numerous Qin soldiers armed with long weapons such as halberds and lances or battle lances also stepped forward, and a bloody hand-to-hand battle was inevitable.

Approaching the city wall, countless low-level monsters also used their bodies to build a flesh-and-blood slope.

And the higher the base is, the higher the base is in a short period of time. If the monsters are allowed to build like this, I am afraid that countless requests will be able to attack the city wall through the slope like a plain.

And even if the height is not level with the city wall, as long as the height is slightly higher, countless monsters can jump directly on the city wall.

Seeing this scene and thinking about the consequences, Jing Cui did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to pour kerosene under the city wall.

In addition, the catapult troops also threw 10,000 oil tanks the size of wine jars out of the city wall.

The oil tank fell to the ground, the pottery shattered, and the black fiery oil flowed out, filling the area for more than ten miles, and also contaminated countless monsters.

Jing Cui even handled it himself, and a rocket was fired, setting off a boundless sea of ​​fire.

The tens of thousands of monsters below the city wall were engulfed by the boundless fire, and the offensive slope built by tens of thousands of low-level monsters was also disintegrated.

But that's it, it only stopped the monster frenzy for a while.

Under the command of a fifth-order big monster at the rear, the monsters actually built up from three places under the city wall, making the Qin army unable to defend.

And some high-level monsters also spit flames, spit out ice, or blow boundless sand, causing some Qin soldiers with low cultivation on the city wall to complain and suffer frequent casualties.

However, under the continuous and powerful blows of the Qin army's strong bows, powerful crossbows and rolling wood and thunder stones, the monsters suffered huge casualties but still made little progress. Jing Cui also relied on his excellent military ability to barely stabilize the situation.
