Chapter 378: First Impact
"Boom ......"
There was a roar in the earth, more exaggerated than an earthquake. Even if an earthquake did occur, the frequency of the tremors would not be so high.
Sure enough, as Du Feng expected, the vanguard of the beast tide was dominated by small demon beasts, but there were more than he imagined. Snow wolves, fox hunters, elk, wild boars and a large number of monsters swarm, if in normal times snow wolves may go to prey on elk, but now their common goal is to capture the human city. As for this border defense line, it is nothing at all.
"Ready! Shoot!"
The city defenders were reluctant to use the strong crossbow given by Du Feng, and first shot with the ordinary bows and arrows in their hands. After all, the level of those demon beasts is not high, and it would be too wasteful to use a strong crossbow.
"Whoosh ......"
A large number of iron arrows were shot out densely, and the scene of ten thousand arrows firing at one end was quite spectacular. Human warriors are always smarter than demon cultivators, and the choice of materials is also better. The arrows on the side of the demon cultivation village are made of bamboo, and an iron head is inlaid in front. The arrows used by the city defenders are all made of black iron, which is heavier and more penetrating.
"Puff puff ......"
The sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh was heard, and a sharp iron arrow pierced into the body of the demon beast. Coupled with the power of hedging, it is very powerful. Not only was the fur penetrated, but even the internal organs were bursting open. Some of the arrows that were not so accurate were shot directly at the bones of the demon beasts. Shoot a leg, break a leg, shoot a headshot, and the scene is quite bloody.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
The guards shouted and cheered in unison, and this wave of shooting was still fruitful. Of course, they didn't dare to relax in the slightest, because the next wave of beasts had arrived. The breed is still some snow wolf, wild boar and other demon beasts, but the size is slightly larger. It stands to reason that they should run faster, and hiding behind the impact must be to let those in front of them be used as cannon fodder to consume the arrows of the guards.
With such a large beast tide, there is definitely someone behind the command. Maybe it's the same person as the one when he attacked the bear tribe. Du Feng looked at the situation on the front line and did not make a move for the time being. These low-level demon beasts, the city defenders can still deal with them. If his group of spirit pets were still there, he could let them go down and practice. It's a pity that in the battle of the Demon Cave, except for Xiao Hei, the other spirit pets died.
"Boom ......"
The earth trembled even more, and the low walls of the border shook with it. The quality of this broken wall is really bad, and it starts to fall into dust before it is hit. Du Feng dusted off his body and frowned. This is simply joking with the lives of the border guards, and the defense line is too bad.
"Shoot!"
The guards drew their longbows and shot iron arrows again, piercing into the body of the demon beast from top to bottom. However, the effect this time is not as good as last time, so the size of the monsters has become larger. Especially a demon beast like a wild boar has rough skin and thick meat. When it gets bigger, it can't be killed with an arrow unless it hits the vital point.
"Shoot again!"
The guards originally wanted to wait for the next wave of demon beasts to rush up and shoot again, but the last batch did not kill all of them. I had to hurriedly draw my bow and arrows and attack again. After the second round of shooting, the demon beast's footsteps were stopped.
"Uh......h Woo......"
It's not good, the new batch of beasts that rushed up was mixed with iron-armored rhinoceros. Although the level of this kind of demon beast is not high, it is larger than the wild boar, and the skin is rough and the meat is thick, and it is particularly durable. The single horn in front of the head is particularly damaging to the wall. If they rush to the front, I am afraid that the border defense will be broken through the gap.
"Stormtroopers step forward!"
On the border side, except for Du Feng, there is no captain of the Guiyuan Realm, and there is only one spontaneous leader in command. He is a little older, naturally has more combat experience, and his command is quite orderly. The so-called stormtroopers are fifty strong men selected.
Although everyone is a cultivator of the Condensing Martial Realm, the physique of these hundred strong men is much stronger. He wears heavy armor with high defensive power, and there are many long spikes sticking out of the armor. Holding a chain hammer with a handle in his hand, the chain is not very long, but the hammer on it is very large, and it requires a certain amount of strength to be able to move.
"Archer cover!"
The archers drew their longbows one after another, and this time instead of firing arrows, they aimed at the monsters that were not very strong in defense. Don't look at the snow wolf's defense, but it is very agile and not weak in attack. It would be a great loss if they surrounded the stormtroopers.
"Shoot!"
The archers shot wildly, targeting the monsters with flexible bodies and strong attack power, deliberately avoiding the wild boars and the tin rhinoceros.
"Puff puff ......"
There was another sound of sharp blades entering the flesh, and a large number of demon beasts were shot to death, and they fell to the ground and stopped moving forward. In this way, wild boars and tin rhinoceros, which were not shot, will become particularly conspicuous.
"Charge!"
A hundred strong men of the stormtroopers spontaneously began to run. The chain hammer in his hand waved with a tiger, and the heavy armor on his body increased the strength of their charge. It didn't take long for the wild boar herd in front of him to come into close contact.
"Bang ......"
These strong men obviously have their own set of attack methods. The hammer in their hands spun and smashed the side of the boar's head, close to the base of the ear. Defenses are weak, and there is no need to collide head-on with wild boars. If you smash it down with a hammer, you can directly knock down the wild boar.
Once the wild boar is knocked down, even if it does not die, it will become a stumbling block for the iron rhinoceros behind it. The stormtroopers took the opportunity to swing the hammer and smash it at the iron rhinoceros. Their hammer was not a smooth round hammer, nor was it an eight-edged gourd, but was covered in thorns like a sea urchin. A hammer can not only open the skin and flesh, but also often blind the eyes of the iron rhinoceros.
Iron-skinned rhinoceros with blinded eyes don't die, they go even more frenziedly. At this time, the iron spikes on the heavy armor rode to a very good effect. It can not only stab the iron rhinoceros, but also protect the guards. The tin rhinos were either stabbed to death or collided with each other, and were quickly wiped out.
The big battles are really different, and I have to say that the guards of Ishihara Castle are more well-trained than ordinary warriors. If this is an ordinary martial artist, in the face of a large number of demon beasts, he will soon be killed and trampled to death. Even if the cultivation is higher, it will be in vain, and without strategy and tactics, it is impossible to survive in the beast tide.
Du Feng was thinking about what to do next, when he heard the sound of chirping, and looked up to see that a large number of flying demon beasts were approaching quickly, and it was time to help the guards.
