Chapter 238
Under the bombardment of the artillery, the hundreds of soldiers of the Red Sun Kingdom who were the supervisors were quickly killed, and the corpses of the civilians of the Daqian Empire who were held hostage were also scattered all over the field.

It's a pity that the battle didn't end because of this. The other soldiers of the Red Sun Kingdom in the rear, taking advantage of the enemy's artillery reloading, rushed up one by one with their weapons raised high.

Since those homemade grenades have been used up before, the defenders can only use bows and crossbows to shoot the enemy, but the number of arrows is also limited, so after the enemy rushed to the city wall, the defenders rushed to kill the enemy. We will continue to use the building materials removed from civilian houses as "rolling wood and rocks" to kill and injure enemy troops.

Even so, the Red Sun Kingdom gradually succeeded in erecting a ladder under the city wall by relying on its huge force superiority, and the battering ram that was used to smash into the city gate also hit Lou with the push of dozens of soldiers. The gate of the county.

Before, there were grenades constantly bombing in the enemy formation, so the Red Sun Kingdom's offensive was always quickly defeated, but now only some wood and stones fell down, and it was impossible to stop the Red Sun Kingdom soldiers' offensive of.

In desperation, Zhou Tiebi still led a group of young men, and began to pour the pre-boiled vats of manure down the city wall.

Speaking of which, those members of the Blood Shark Gang taught him this move. It has to be said that these people in the Jianghu are really ruthless, and they can think of any harmful moves.Other cities mostly use boiling oil to defend the city, but because Lou County is a remote small county and is very poor, there is no way to find so much oil, so it can only use these dung water instead.

As we all know, the higher the temperature, the faster the volatilization speed of the liquid, so after the dung water is boiled, the speed of the smell can be imagined. It has been covered with a lid before, but now After scooping it out with a dung spoon, the smell immediately spread in all directions, before it even splashed on the enemy!Many defenders at the top of the city were almost disgusted by the stench.

However, although the excrement water was disgusting, it was effective in killing the enemy. As soon as it was poured down, there was a miserable howl from under the city wall.

While the boiled dung water scalded the soldiers of the Red Sun Kingdom, the dung water would also infect the wounds, causing the soldiers to feel pain, and the injuries became more and more serious.

Although there is no oil in Lou County, the excrement is absolutely enough, so under the command of the county magistrate Zhou Tiebi, those young and strong are not stingy, and constantly pour the smelly excrement under the city wall , that action actually looked a bit cool.This is normal, after all, many people here are veteran farmers, and pouring manure and fertilizing is their job.

In the continuous splashing of dung and water, groups of soldiers of the Red Sun Kingdom were scalded to death and scalded, unable to climb to the top of the city at all. After knocking open the city gate, he suddenly found that behind the city gate there was actually a lot of soil and gravel, which was completely blocked.

Looking at the dumbfounded enemy soldiers at the city gate, Zhou Tiebi couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile on his face, feeling superior in IQ.

However, unlike Zhou Tiebi, the main general, Fu Chaoling, still had a look of worry on his face. After all, their army strength is indeed much smaller than that of the Red Sun Kingdom. He can consume all the defenders under his command, after all, the number of troops in the Red Sun Kingdom is more than ten times that of his!If you want to stay here for a few days, you have to find a way to reduce the casualties of the troops and try to preserve the vitality as much as possible!

In the previous battles, although they all successfully repelled the enemy's attack, the casualties were not small. According to rough statistics, the casualties were at least 2000, which accounted for one-tenth of the total number of defenders. !

Lei Hong seemed to have seen his own coach's worries, so he stepped forward and recommended someone to him: "My lord is worried about our lack of troops? I will know someone who may solve this problem!"

"Oh! Who is it?" Fu Chaoling's eyes lit up when he heard the words. After all, he also knows Lei Hong, and he is not the kind of person who likes to talk big and brag. Since the other party said so, it proves that the other party is really sure .

After Lei Hong got Fu Chaoling's permission, he quickly brought up a middle-aged man who was white and fat.

According to Lei Hong's introduction, this is a good friend of his, named Lu Han, who is a businessman.And the last time when the envoys of the Dagan Empire visited the Hanhai Empire, the other party also went behind the fleet of the envoys. Although Lu Han, a businessman, did not steal as much information about the Hanhai Empire as the official of the Dagan Empire did. Domestic intelligence and firearms information, but also learned of the existence of the God of Games, and entered the fantasy space.After he returned, he also introduced this good place to his friend Lei Hong.This is why Lei Hong's realm is similar to Kumamoto Saburo, the commander of the Red Sun Kingdom's army, but he can beat him down.Because he has already switched to "Shen Nong Jue" and became a cultivator, his strength is naturally stronger than that of a partial martial artist. In addition, "Shen Nong Jue" can also quickly recover his true energy by taking pills, That's why before Lei Hong alone was able to beat the entire army of the Red Sun Kingdom with their heads in their arms, they still didn't run out of true essence.

As for his friend Lu Han, although he also practiced "Shen Nong Jue", but because his martial arts talent is far inferior to Lei Hong's, he took the mage route.The opponent specializes in undead magic.

After listening to Lei Hong's introduction, Fu Chaoling couldn't help but be overjoyed. As an official, he had heard about the magic of this dream space. He never thought that Lu Han, a businessman, would be lucky enough to enter this secret realm of cultivation so early. .

But he can't really believe the other party just by listening to Lei Hong's words, and then he has to see if the other party really has that kind of ability.After all, he also knew that it was the end of the Dharma Age, and it was much more difficult for mages to cast magic than before. Even if the opponent specialized in undead spells, it was not certain how many undead soldiers could be summoned!

Facing Fu Chaoling's test, Lu Han was full of confidence. He took out a short staff from his bosom, and pointed at the piles of enemy corpses outside the city, one by one. A black beam of light then shot out and landed on those corpses.

After those corpses absorbed the undead magic energy released by Lu Han, the flesh and blood on their bodies immediately began to rot rapidly, and all the essence was absorbed by the bones, leaving only pale skeletons in the end.

"Sorry, I haven't practiced undead magic for long enough, so I can only convert some low-level skeleton soldiers!" After casting the spell, Lu Han said modestly to Fu Chaoling.

And Fu Chaoling looked at the thousands of skeleton soldiers slowly standing up from the ground, with a bright smile on his face. After all, what he needs now is a lot of cannon fodder!Although the strength of these skeleton soldiers is low, there is no problem at all as cannon fodder for confronting the enemy.Moreover, Lu Han can transform so many skeleton soldiers with one spellcasting, so in the future, if he casts spells a few times a day, he can have more and more troops, and he will not be afraid of confronting the army of the Red Sun Kingdom at all. ah!
"Lu Han! You have really helped me a lot this time! When this battle is over, I will definitely play a performance to His Majesty to explain your contribution!"

Hearing Fu Chaoling's assurance, Lu Han also had a smile on his face, thinking in his heart that he had made great achievements in such a crucial battle this time, and that great emperor would have to give him a title no matter what!At that time, he will change from a lowly businessman to a noble aristocrat!

At this time, the skeleton soldiers transformed by Lu Han had already picked up the weapons he had in his lifetime, and then walked towards those former comrades-in-arms with slightly stiff steps.

The soldiers of the Red Sun Kingdom who were attacking the city had already been made very passive by the constant pouring of dung from the top of the city, and now they were backstabbed by these former comrades-in-arms. live!The entire siege army quickly fell into chaos.

Seeing this scene, the defenders on the top of the city were immediately happy, and the dung splashed even more happily.Anyway, those skeleton soldiers are not afraid of dung water, so there is no need to be afraid of accidental injury.

The soldiers of the Red Sun Kingdom were under attack from both sides, and they were difficult to look at. They often just avoided a spoonful of dung splashed from the top of the city, and then they were rushed over by a skeleton soldier and chopped off their heads.

Relying on the advantage of not being afraid of dung and water, those skeleton soldiers charged and killed wantonly in the enemy's formation. Although their own strength was lower than those of the soldiers of the Red Sun Kingdom, but relying on the aura of not fearing death, they were The soldiers of the Red Sun Kingdom, who had fought more and were stronger, were defeated.

When Kumamoto Saburo saw that his siege troops were completely in chaos, he could only call the gold and withdraw the troops first, and then withdraw all the troops.Otherwise, it would be most detrimental to their siege party to continue fighting like this.

Seeing that the Red Sun Kingdom began to withdraw troops, Fu Chaoling did not continue to chase after them. After all, the strength of those skeleton soldiers is really not good, and it will not do any good if they continue to chase.

Under Lu Han's control, these skeleton soldiers quickly climbed up the city wall one by one by relying on the ladders left by the soldiers of the Red Sun Kingdom, and then replaced the original human defenders and stood at the front.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on? There are actually necromancers among the enemy troops. Didn't it mean that these guys have all gone into hiding a long time ago?" Saburo Kumamoto looked at his own siege troops that had withdrawn in embarrassment. He was so angry that he cursed loudly.

In this siege, he folded in more than 2 soldiers, but did not achieve much results.According to his observation, the defenders who were killed may not even have 200 people.If he comes back so many times, no matter how many troops he has, he will be exhausted!
"Marshal, this undead creature is afraid of fire! Maybe we can use fire to attack!" Seeing his coach's irritated appearance, the lieutenant at the side hurried forward and said a countermeasure that seemed feasible.

Saburo Kumamoto had no better way at this time, so he could only adopt the suggestion of the lieutenant general first.

So, soon the Red Sun Kingdom started to prepare rockets, and prepared to use fire attack to destroy those skeleton soldiers when they attacked the city later.

But when the Red Sun Kingdom was busy making rockets, the sky was gradually getting brighter. It turned out that during the fierce offensive and defensive fights between the two sides, one night passed unconsciously.

In the past day, besides Lou County, some small-scale battles broke out in another battlefield.

This battlefield is naturally the battlefield between the west and the Kuran Empire.Compared with the Red Sun Kingdom, the Kuran Kingdom is actually a greater threat to the Dagan Empire. After all, in the cold weapon era, there were a large number of cavalry, and the nomads who were good at riding and shooting were very powerful, and they could often rely on kites Tactics consume the enemy army little by little, so that the enemy's strength is continuously weakened, and eventually they will be exhausted, and then the opponent only needs to dispatch heavy cavalry to charge, and the exhausted enemy army can be completely defeated.

Therefore, in order to resist the attack of the Kuran Empire, the Dagan Empire built a large number of castles and fortresses on the border between the two countries, nailing them there like nails, so that the cavalry troops of the Kuran Empire could not drive straight in.

But now, in order to invade the Dagan Empire, the Kuran Empire launched some surprise attacks when the opponent's army was not fully in place.

In front of the Kuran Empire horse archers who rode fast horses and came and went like the wind, the Daqian Empire soldiers who were only equipped with some primitive firearms could not take advantage at all.After all, the range and rate of fire of those primitive artillery were so impressive that they were not suitable for dealing with horse archers. As for those matchlock guns, there was also a big problem with their accuracy. It was difficult to hit those horse archers who were constantly moving, and the rate of fire was not good. It is also very slow, far inferior to the horse archers of the Kuran Empire.Those cavalry archers with relatively good archery skills can shoot several arrows in a second on the galloping horses. It only takes a few hundred horses to create a terrifying scene of arrows raining down, suppressing the entire empire. The musketeers and crossbowmen couldn't even lift their heads.

Looking at the Kuran horse archers outside the city who were constantly throwing arrows at the city, a Daqian imperial soldier was so angry that he grabbed his musket and stood up, ready to shoot the enemy outside the city, but he just Standing up, he was hit by seven or eight arrows, and one of the arrows even hit his face, causing him to fall down with a plop before he could even let out a miserable howl.

Several veterans on the side looked at the fate of this reckless recruit and sighed helplessly. They had told these recruits in advance that the most important thing in fighting the Kuran people was patience. Unfortunately, these young people did not listen at all. If you don’t go in, they will!
