Chapter 621: Defending the City

Outside the city, the demon army was waiting in formation in black armor. Although there were only more than a thousand people, it gave people a sense of oppression as black clouds pressed down on the city. Wu Fan could clearly feel that there were many soldiers on the city. His legs were shaking.

Wu Fan felt lucky that they had escaped in time. Otherwise, they would have been surrounded by more than a thousand demon cavalry. Even if he could escape, Wu Ya and others would not be able to survive.

"I think they have ladders in their army, so they should be able to attack the city." Wu Fan looked at the demon army in the distance and said.

These demonic armies are all dressed as cavalry, and the mounts they sit on are not all horses, but also various magical beasts. Such a number of demonic cavalry, if in the wild, is enough to defeat tens of thousands of imperial troops.

The young colonel took a closer look and saw a few ladders among the demon cavalry. Although the opponent only had more than a thousand people, the demon army was famous for its ferocity. After knowing that the opponent was going to attack the city, the colonel The officer suddenly became very nervous.

"Roll the wood, prepare the oil pan!"

"All archers come up, reserves are on standby!"

"Where are the sword and shield soldiers? They are all at the front!"

Following the order from the small colonel, the entire city became even busier. Originally, these soldiers were a little afraid of the demon army. Now that they heard the order from the small colonel, they suddenly became even more nervous. Some soldiers even fell down and fell into each other's faces while running. Collide.

"Sir, are the demon army really going to attack the city?" Luo Yang said worriedly.

All of them are in the city. Once the demon army comes in, they will not be spared.

"The attack on the city is certain." Wu Fan said: "However, I guess they acted on the spur of the moment and were not fully prepared. Otherwise, they would not be without infantry. Moreover, the ladders are very crude at first glance and are not many in number. They should be It was a temporary construction. If they had already planned to attack the city, this would not be the case. I estimate that they wanted to test the defensive strength of the city. If they encountered huge resistance, they would give up the siege. If everything goes well, Naturally, they will not miss this opportunity. Therefore, the defenders in the city must withstand their early attacks and beat them painfully. Only then will they retreat. Otherwise, they will see the hope of breaking through the city. , then this city will be in danger."

Wu Fan said this to Luo Yang, and also to the small school official next to him. The small school official nodded solemnly and agreed with Wu Fan's point of view. He also understood that if things were really like If Wu Fan said that, then the opponent's early attack must be very fierce, and they must withstand it, no matter how high the price is!

"Ouch!"

The demon army in the city suddenly heard the cry of a demon beast. Then, the demon cavalry team, which had been standing still, suddenly started running, faster and faster, raising a cloud of dust. The momentum did not look like there were only more than a thousand people. The cavalry, like thousands of horses galloping, Wu Fan and others standing on the top of the city could clearly feel the vibrations under their feet.

"Don't panic! They can't get in!" The junior colonel noticed that the defenders' faces were getting paler and he couldn't help but remind them loudly.

His reminder could only barely appease the people. Many soldiers were already afraid of the demon cavalry, but now that they saw how powerful they were, they felt even more frightened.

"Archers, prepare, shoot!" the small school officer gave the order, and dark arrows flew down from the top of the city.

This kind of volley of thousands of arrows looks very powerful, but in fact it does not achieve much effect. Only a few people hit the target. The demon cavalry runs fast, and the defending soldiers in the city are not For an elite unit like the Royal Guards, coupled with fear in the heart and trembling hands, one can imagine the hit rate.

The little colonel's face looked a little ugly, and he shouted loudly: "Give me the aim! Shoot!"

Countless arrows flew out again. However, this time, before the people on the top of the city could see the results of their victory, countless arrows also flew up from outside the city.

"Pfft!"

"Ah! I was hit by an arrow!"

"It hurts me so much. Someone come and save me!"

Compared with the poor hit rate of the soldiers on the city top, the hit rate of the demon cavalry outside the city was much higher. In just one round of cavalry shooting, many soldiers on the city top were injured by arrows.

"Go down if you are injured, and the people behind you will get on top of you! Keep attacking me, and you are not allowed to take a step back without my permission!" the junior colonel said with a livid face.

The soldiers on the city continued to attack, but their momentum was weaker than before. Especially when they saw the demon army outside the city getting closer and closer to the city wall, they felt even more frightened.

"Sir, let's go down, it's dangerous here." Luo Yue said to Wu Fan. In her heart, Wu Fan's safety always came first.

"I'm fine. Just be careful." Wu Fan said.

Then, Wu Fan bent his bow and set an arrow, and the flying arrow knocked a running demon cavalry off his horse.

Wu Fan would not let go of such a good opportunity to level up and practice his shooting skills.

The soldiers outside the city are getting closer and closer, and the hit rate of the soldiers on top of the city has also improved. However, the damage caused to the demon cavalry is still limited.

After the demon cavalry approached the city wall, some continued to shoot with bows and arrows at the soldiers at the top of the city, while others built ladders and prepared to go up to the top of the city.

"Smash it for me!" the principal officer shouted loudly.

Pieces of stones and wood were thrown down, and the scalding hot oil poured down, suppressing the demon cavalry who had not yet climbed up, causing death and injury.

"Don't panic, hold the city wall, don't let them come up!" The lieutenant walked back and forth, commanding and encouraging his men.

Wu Fan glanced at him. Compared with other court generals, this lieutenant performed very well. He commanded properly, was strict and encouraging. Moreover, judging from the well-prepared stones, wood, boiling oil and other things, he usually paid attention to the safety of the city defense. This was a very eye-catching performance in the increasingly corrupt Yanfeng Kingdom. At least, he did not dawdle and neglect his duties like other generals.

After beating down the climbing demon cavalry, the morale of the soldiers on the city wall recovered a little, and their expressions became slightly calmer. Although the demon cavalry caused some casualties on the city wall through archery, they still had no way to get to the top of the city. The demon cavalry climbing the ladder tried many times, but failed, leaving only some corpses.

The defenders on the city wall were quite excited about this.

"Sir, what is that?!" Suddenly, Luo Yue pointed at the big black spots on his head and said to Wu Fan.

Wu Fan looked up and his face became serious.

Those black spots are monsters! Moreover, there are demon warriors on the backs of those monsters!
