Chapter 143

If the bow and arrow can really hit sparrows and birds, they can indeed kill the opponent, but the reality is that the accuracy of the bow and arrow is too poor.

They have no way to shoot bird creatures!

This is very embarrassing.

"Kerosene! Light it up and smoke these birds away!"

"Pour the kerosene down! Light them all!"

Any beast has a primitive fear of fire, there is no reason why they will not be driven away by the fire!

Sure enough, the fire did play a huge role.

The long white worms can indeed interfere with the thoughts of many beasts, but they cannot completely control the beasts.

Therefore, many small beasts were swallowed by the flames.

Some larger beasts broke free from the control of the long white worms and ran into the forest.

After this battle, the number of beasts was greatly reduced.

But even so, their number cannot be underestimated.

Especially equipped with anti-aircraft combat birds.

During the Ming Dynasty, the forests were not particularly developed.

Therefore, the number of beasts was relatively large.

And the court was unwilling to flatten the mountains for no reason.

Most of the mountains are mixed with stones and debris, and they cannot be cultivated even if they are opened up.

The court also understands that it cannot exhaust the resources, and even orders the protection of forests and lakes.

After the spiritual energy is revived, the number of wild beasts is relatively huge.

The thousand households guarding the city saw that there were still wild beasts daring to rush over.

"No! The outer fence can't stop the impact of wild beasts, we must go outside to fight!"

As he said, he brought more than 500 soldiers, holding spears, spears and shields, to the fence.

He planned to use the outer fence as a protection, and then catch the opponent in one fell swoop.

The Ming camp actually has requirements for the construction and hardness of the fence.

But the Zhongshan Guard was built near the capital.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been more than 30 years of peace, and after a few years of noisy years, there have been more than 10 years of peace.

The local guards naturally cannot maintain the vigilance during the war.

This also led to the fact that the outer fence of the guard was not that strong.

Chapter 152: In a critical moment, a sword comes to the capital

The height of the fence is limited, but the jumping ability of the beasts is not so limited!

The fence is only a few meters high, and many beasts jumped directly and jumped over the fence!

Even many soldiers were a little dazed.

These beasts have such a strong jumping ability?

Isn't this too scary?

Ordinary fences are just to temporarily enclose the territory to prevent unruly people from entering.

Even if it is a fence on the march, it can only be strengthened at most, and there is no need to have too many requirements for the height of the fence.

One after another, the beasts rushed into the crowd of soldiers.

Bursts of screams began to appear in the crowd instantly!

Compared with those ferocious large beasts, the physique of humans is really not much of an advantage.

And the ferocious beasts have no idea of ​​retreating or cowardly fighting.

But humans who are fighting very fiercely will indeed have the idea of ​​retreating.

Soon, these 500 people were defeated.

The hurried Qian Hu led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat back to the inner city wall.

As time went by, the wall where the soldiers were stationed began to lose ground!

There were too many beasts, and they directly relied on the corpses of their own kind to flatten the way out!

This bloody fighting method made the defense of the wall begin to crumble.

The morale of the soldiers began to decline!

The soldiers in ancient times were not ambitious young people.

Most soldiers basically just wanted to make a living.

After Zhu Yuanzhang formulated the military policy and the garrison policy, the soldiers in the garrison farmed in their spare time and served as soldiers in wartime.

But the problem is that most of the soldiers near the capital will not encounter war at all.

Naturally, they are not elite.

In ancient times, generally speaking, as long as more than 30% of the casualties were killed or injured, they would begin to gradually collapse.

And when they could not see or get the command of their superiors, they would begin to retreat.

When stationed on the edge of the city wall, the soldiers naturally had no way to escape.

They could only try their best to shrink together and gradually reduce the defense of the city wall!

There were also several thousand households and hundred households shouting.

"Our home is behind us! We need to garrison the county government! We can't let the beasts rush over!"

"Everyone hold on! Reinforcements will be here soon!"

Encouraged by several thousand households and hundred households, the soldiers barely managed to defend the city wall.

But all commanders knew that this was temporary.

As long as the reinforcements behind didn't catch up quickly, and there were more beasts, the soldiers would soon be defeated.

Soon, each city wall sent a part of the reinforcements to check the situation.

Seeing that the south city wall was about to collapse, they quickly led the soldiers to rush up.

The soldiers on the south city wall, who were under great psychological pressure, breathed a sigh of relief.

They were also ordinary people, and they were a little afraid of death!

The support brought some kerosene and arrows.

The new soldiers were also more physically fit. Although they didn't completely solve the beasts, it was at least a life-saving straw to relieve the pressure for the soldiers.

Soldiers with better physical strength still had the strength to attack various beasts.

The relatively accurate firepower support temporarily brought the situation to a standstill, and the crisis of the city wall was temporarily alleviated.

The thousand households guarding the city breathed a sigh of relief.

It had been more than half an hour since the wild beasts began to attack their city walls.

Soldiers nowadays cannot have three meals a day and eat a lot of fish and meat.

The intense battle, the tense and exciting psychology, and the effort of lasting for several incense sticks are all very demanding on their physical strength.

Not to mention the battle just now, which was almost a tense and exciting battle time every moment.

The physical energy consumption is indeed much higher than the usual training and rushing!

But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the city wall began to shake violently!

Feeling the shaking of the earth, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly thought of something!

"Not good! Rats! It's rats! They are digging holes!"

After one person exclaimed, the city wall fell into silence at first.

Then it became noisy in an instant!

Rats digging holes! They won't dig down the city wall!

The morale of the army was instantly dispersed!

"Don't panic! Don't panic! How can a few rats destroy the city wall!" The captain took a fierce look at the soldiers who screamed, and then hurriedly began to calm the soldiers.

However, it is not so easy to restore the morale of the soldiers after a hard battle.

At least it can't be restored in a few words!

"Now the only plan is to retreat back to the city first and then make plans!"

All the soldiers had this idea, which was obviously normal.

After all, strictly speaking, they have tried their best.
