From the moment the broken wall was blown down, the area in front of the main wall of the level became a show place for cute babies, no, a slaughter place.
It is huge, it is ferocious, it is cold-blooded, and it rushes left and right.
It doesn't need to attack anyone deliberately, it just needs to run wildly and then crash into a crowded area, or jump high and smash into the enemy...
Being hit by it is like being hit by a herd of mad bulls.
Anyone who was hit by its body was like being hit by a huge rock rolling down from the top of a mountain.
Its occasional roar would terrify the enemy who tried to approach it, and even a cold glance would be enough to make the enemy panic.
The enemy shouted and screamed at it, threw torches, shot arrows and javelins at it, trying to scare it away...
But these only made Mengbao angry. Rain of arrows and javelins had no killing power on it, and torches would make it feel extremely disgusted, so those who threw torches received its "special care".
Mengbao's outstanding performance boosted the morale of the Wulai officers and soldiers defending the main wall again, but they were not idle either. Mengbao's collisions and bites created so many gaps, causing so many enemy troops to panic. How could they not take the opportunity to pick up some advantages with bows and crossbows?
Wu Lai, who was watching the battle under the protection of six large shields, frowned slowly as he watched. In the telescope, the top of the North Peak was no longer covered in thick smoke, and the vanguard of the enemy's attack had rushed to two-thirds of the mountain road. The situation on the South Peak was not much better. Judging from the direction of the artillery fire, the artillery on the South Peak would occasionally fire, but the North Peak had been silent for a while.
We must hold on. Wu Lai narrowed his eyes, turned around and ordered the messenger, "Notify the checkpoint artillery to suspend firing and wait for the enemy to get closer. Once they launch a collective charge and break through the 400-step range, open fire immediately without waiting for orders."
"Yes!" After repeating the order, the four messengers turned around and ran to deliver the order.
Wu Lai's eyes turned to Meng Bao. Suspending the shelling was actually a sign of weakness and luring the enemy into thinking that their artillery shells had been exhausted. This was also a way to reduce the pressure on the two peaks, because if the enemy made no progress at the checkpoint, they would increase their offensive against the two peaks. Once the two peaks were occupied by the enemy and the checkpoint was isolated, Wu Lai would have no choice but to retreat.
But the cost of this retreat would be too great to bear - if the checkpoints could not be defended, then Muritania would be even less likely to be defended. By then, there would be very few people who could leave alive by sea...
Meng Bao suddenly stopped again, and this action made Wu Lai's heart tighten.
It's tired, Woolley said to himself.
What Wu Lai said was right. Mengbao was tired. He had been fighting for too long and had consumed too much energy. Although his movements were still fierce and his momentum was still unmatched, the frequency of his active collisions was getting lower and lower, and the range was not as large as before...
It was no longer snow-white, but had become a little dirty - its fur was gray and black from being burned by the flames, there were traces of enemy soldiers' blood, there was dust, dirt, stone chips, and even a few broken ropes.
It was breathing heavily, but its eyes were still bright, still looking around with a look of contempt, and still alert.
It has already confronted at least tens of thousands of enemy soldiers head-on. There was no fancy dodging, only brutal ramming, smashing, charging, poking, and trampling, without even biting.
This was a combat intensity it had never experienced before, so it was tired...
Wu Lai sighed, and when Meng Bao's eyes met his, he made a gesture.
The cute baby wagged its tail and slumped to the ground. Wu Lai asked it to rest for a while, so it let it rest for a while.
When Li Moli saw this scene through the telescope, he raised a smile: "Sky-shaking Crossbow Team, get ready! Aim at the white lion!"
After a while, Li Moli received a report that everything was ready - all the artillery vehicles had been lined up, loaded, and turned, the roofs were raised eight feet, and the front panels were all lowered...
"Fire!" Li Moli waved his hands fiercely. He had been suppressed by the bombardment of Wu Lai's army for so long, and he was very angry. Now he finally had a chance to fight back. How could he be polite? If the distance was closer, he would definitely not just aim at the white lion, but at the artillery position. Yes, even if he aimed at the artillery position, he would also take the white lion with him. It alone killed and injured 7,000 to 8,000 people of the Tianjuan Army. With it around, the soldiers could not rush over to deploy. How could he not kill it? "Bang, bang, bang, bang..." The sound of the crossbow strings became a chorus...
“Huhu ...
"Danger!" A soldier at the front of the main wall of the checkpoint shouted an urgent warning.
The six shield bearers forced Wu Lai to lower his body without any explanation, and the six large shields were placed in front of Wu Lai to protect him. Caesar strode towards him...
“Bang…Bang…Bang…Bang…Bang…” — A large area of air rose up in front of the main wall of the level, and the air wave swept up sand, gravel, limbs, and broken blades. In the air wave, the cute baby’s angry shouts mixed with pain were heard...
The effect of the first round of shooting by the Heaven-shaking Crossbow Artillery was beyond Li Moli's imagination, because not only was Mengbao surrounded and bombarded, but even the sandbags and stone bars on the main wall were severely overturned, affecting nearly a thousand Wulai officers and soldiers, with more than a hundred casualties...
Wu Lai pushed aside the shield and rushed to the arrow stack. He quickly glanced down and found Meng Bao's figure. In the smoke and dust, it had moved to a collapsed bridge pier, and most of the right side of its body was smoking...
It looked back, and when its eyes found Wu Lai, it raised its head and let out a long howl, the voice full of grievance.
Wu Lai clenched his fists and was about to call out to Meng Bao when a row of black spots appeared in the air ahead again.
"Master, be careful!" Caesar rushed to Wu Lai, picked him up by the waist, and ran towards the back with big strides.
Wu Lai's eyes rolled, and he pointed at the messenger: "Retreat fifty steps!"
Fifty steps away was the second line of defense of the main wall, made of stacked sandbags and large stones.
“Bang… bang… bang… bang… bang…” The huge explosions of the Zhentian crossbows continued. This time, they were no longer aimed at Mengbao but directly covered the first line of defense on the main wall. The fifteen crossbow vehicles deployed in formation and fired shells at a very even distance, covering the area above the main gate of the checkpoint with a width of more than 100 cubits. Many officers and soldiers who had not yet evacuated were immediately killed or blown away…
"Quick! Move forward a hundred steps and launch the third attack!" Li Moli shouted, waving his sword, and stretched out his hand to order the deputy generals, "Blow the horn and raise the flag! The whole army prepares to charge!" The enemy army has been suppressed and retreated, and the white lion is no longer able to fight. If they don't charge now, when will they charge?
"rush!"
"Charge!" The shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers shook the sky...
At the checkpoint, Wu Lai wiped the stone chips off his face and said, "Pass the order! Aim at those rows of cars and shoot them!"
"Bang... bang... bang... bang..." The roar of the thunderous crossbow sounded again. In a series of explosions, more than 20 arrow embankments on the first row of the main wall of the level were blown open fiercely, and sandbags, weapons, and dead bodies of soldiers flew into the air...
"Keep charging! The long echelon team, come on!" Li Moli was overjoyed. He had originally planned to charge some people up to plant explosives just like he did when he attacked the first wall. He had never expected that the power of the Heaven-shaking Crossbow was so great that after three rounds, the enemy army was beaten to a pulp and fled. Look at the enemy's wall now. Who dares to stay there? In this way, there is no need to bury explosives. He can just climb the wall with ladders and rush up in a huge crowd. Anyway, he has the advantage in numbers...
When Li Moli was feeling proud, Wu Lai had already retreated to the observation tower. As soon as he raised the telescope in his hand, he heard the roar of artillery fire - "Bang bang ...
The checkpoint is the core of the defense of Muritania, so at the beginning of its construction, Wu Lai built four groups of turrets in one go, two on the left and two on the right. Each group of turrets consisted of four cannons. If it were not for the inconvenience of transportation, he would not mind pulling the main guns here as well.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After fighting for so long, five of the sixteen cannons have broken down - in order to ensure the power of the shells, these sixteen cannons are fired at full chamber pressure, with high chamber pressure and fast firing rate. With the current cannon casting technology, it is already very good that eleven can still hold on.
The sound of the artillery at the checkpoint stunned Li Moli for a moment, and then a cannonball flew past his right shoulder, knocking him down and hitting a crossbow cart ten steps behind Li Moli.
To be precise, four of the eleven shells hit a crossbow cart respectively.
In addition to the cannon, the crossbow cart also has a cannonball box and a gunner...
Instantly, it was as if a huge thunder exploded in the clear sky. No, it was four huge thunders that exploded at the same time. Everyone who heard these roars subconsciously covered their ears. Then, they saw four huge balls of fire. In the fire, there were continuous explosions. At this moment, only the explosions were audible. All other sounds were drowned out by this heart-pounding sound...
Disaster! This was definitely a disaster that the Tianjuan Army had not expected! They could charge forward under the fire of the Wulai Army, and ignore the shells flying from above, behind, and in front of them, because they knew that as long as they were not so unlucky, they would not necessarily be hit. Once they were hit, they would basically have no life to fear...
But they could never have imagined that after all the hard work and suffering of rushing here through artillery fire, pits, crossbows and mines, they would end up being killed by their own explosives...
But no one will complain about this, because the people who are most qualified to complain are already dead.
Li Moli also died, and not a single body was left. It was all because he was too complacent and too proud of the power of the crossbow cart. Otherwise, he would not have stayed so happily near the crossbow cart, ending up with not a single body left.
On the South Peak, Bailey was stunned. From his perspective, the effect of the previous wave of bombardment was undoubtedly even more astonishing. As the flames and smoke rose, the formation of tens of thousands of charging Tianjuan troops was like being hit hard by a giant fist that fell from the sky, and a large area was instantly vacated. Now that the giant fist has left, what is left is a horrible mess...
On the North Peak, Sarres, covered in gunpowder, laughed loudly, and after fiercely spitting out the depression and tension that had been pent up in his chest for a long time, he raised his sword with a smile: "Brothers! The enemy has suffered heavy losses from the High Priest! Let's work harder! Drive the enemy to the muzzle of the High Priest's guns!"
"Good!" the soldiers shouted happily.
"Drive the enemy away!" They roared with joy...
At the same time, several communication cavalrymen at the rear of the Tianjuan Army turned their horses around with sad faces, thinking about how to report. Not only were all the crossbows destroyed, but nearly 10,000 lives were lost at once, and the number of injured was countless...
…
Pu Tong withdrew, taking with him a long list of trophies in the form of carriages and horses, as well as Teller and his 4,000 cavalrymen and more than 10,000 civilians who had gained a lot and were willing to follow the Sixth Regiment. He planned to settle Teller and these civilians in an empty town only ten miles away from his camp. That town had a very ugly name, called Shayang Town. It was said that it was built hundreds of years ago by a group of butchers who specialized in slaughtering sheep. Although it was a bit far away and difficult to attack, it was surrounded by mountains and many paths, so it was easy to evacuate.
Pu Tong had already taken a fancy to this town when he passed by it a few days ago. If he was not unwilling to take risks, he would have been happy to set up camp in the town. But now it would be a good idea to let Teller and his cavalry stay there. On the one hand, there are more than 10,000 civilians "closely monitoring" Teller, and on the other hand, Teller and his cavalry can also form the first line of defense of the Sixth Regiment Camp - if the Tianjuan Army launches a sneak attack, they will inevitably pass through Shayang Town. At that time, it would be nice for Teller to resist first and then he can take advantage of the situation.
Addie retreated slower than Pu Tong because she wanted to stay and set fire to the town - if the town was destroyed, she could rebuild it after driving away the Tianjuan Army. If she was reluctant to take action now, it would only create convenience for the enemy.
So, as a member of the Shuman family who could even burn down the city of Kayiked, Eddie set the fire easily and calmly.
When most of the town was on fire, Eddie led his team away.
Before leaving, she released more than 3,000 prisoners, all of whom were injured to varying degrees and stripped naked. However, this was not Eddie's idea, but Wu Lai's request.
Before the battle, Wu Lai said that we must find ways to increase the enemy's burden. The heavier their burden, the further they will be from victory.
More than 3,000 wounded soldiers who didn't even have clothes were definitely a huge burden for the Tianjuan Army.
At least, that's what Eddie thought.
