Chapter 77 The tide of beasts is surging
...
"Open the city gate!"
"Help!"
"Let us into the city!"
Hundreds of refugees fled within a hundred feet of the city gate and began to shout for help.
Ou Chuyang ordered: "Open the city gate and pick them up."
"Can't open the city!" Cai Changzhi hurried over with a thousand servants, "This time the beast tide is very dangerous, and beasts follow the refugees. Once the door is not closed, there will be no way out in the city."
Ou Chuyang stared at the tide of beasts that were getting closer and closer, calculating the distance and speed, "It should be too late to open the door now."
"No!" Cai Changzhi flatly refused, "I can't take the lives of tens of thousands of people."
"Are you just watching the hundreds of people below die tragically under the beast tide?" Chai Tiefeng asked in dissatisfaction.
"Don't you know how to weigh the difference between hundreds or tens of thousands of people?" Cai Changzhi shouted loudly: "Transfer my order: Before the return of the Fourth Prince's army, no one shall open the city gates in a vain. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!"
Cai Changzhi was the highest level among the masters of the left-behind swordsman, so Di Zhenjie handed over the power of decision to him. He ordered the city gate to be closed tightly, and Ou Chuyang and Chai Tiefeng could not violate it.
The dozens of refugees running in the front had fled to the city gate, pounding the city gate and crying:
"Please let us in!"
"Open the door quickly, I don't want to die!"
"Sword Lord, please help me, save my child!"
"Brother Cai..." Ou Chuyang wanted to ask for love, but Cai Changzhi pulled out his long sword with a "canglang" and said in a cold voice: "I have already said that those who open the city gate will die!"
Bao Hanping and Master Chen had just brought people to the scene, but they didn't say much when they saw this scene.
"Ah—" The first scream came from afar. An old farmer with disheveled head was penetrated by a long bone sword from the back of his heart. He hung on the sharp corners of a giant rhino sword and was led to come.
Ou Chuyang saw clearly the appearance of the beast that was hitting like a tide. In the front row was a giant rhino with a dark body of up to ten feet high. A bone sword of two meters long grew on his head, and rushed forward like a heavy knight in the medieval era. Behind the giant rhino were the sword-tailed tiger that Ou Chuyang had seen and the sword-horned bull, which was not much smaller than the giant rhino.
Aren't rhinos tropical creatures? How could they appear in Yanzhou, the northernmost part of the question? This question flashed by and was thrown away by Ou Chuyang. Since these rhinos had swords growing on their heads, they still care about the tropical cold zones.
The giant rhino, sword-tailed tiger and sword-horned barbarian bull formed the forward of the beast tide. In the smoke and dust behind, there were shadows all over the mountains and fields. I wonder how many ferocious beasts were there.
Screams and screams came one after another, and in an instant, hundreds of people died in the tide of beasts. Thousands of beasts continued to stop, and in a few rapid impacts, they ate hundreds of people all in a few mouthfuls, and there was no bone residue left.
Such a terrifying scene of purgatory on earth made Ou Chuyang's scalp and his throat tightened, and he couldn't speak. Mu Wanqing also had her lips tightly bit her pretty face and turned white. The other servants around her were even more scared and trembled. Many people were so scared that they vomited and diarrhea, and the city tower was in a mess.
The refugees outside the city gate saw that the city gate was not open, and they were desperate to climb up the city wall. Although the brick and stone wall had a slightly tilted and uneven brick gap, it was impossible to climb up directly. The refugees climbed up at most two or three steps and then slid down again, and they were about to be buried in the mouth of the beast.
"Put down the rope quickly!" Ou Chuyang shouted loudly, and first carried a bundle of thick ropes and threw them down. Chai Tiefeng and several brave men followed suit.
Several refugees snatched the rope left by Ou Chuyang and climbed up desperately.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Suddenly, a bone spur shot out of the beast tide dozens of feet away.
"Uh!" "Ah!" A few screams rang out, and halfway through the refugee was nailed to death by the bone spur on the city wall.
"Oh my god!" Ou Chuyang was angry and cursed, and these beasts did not leave any way to survive.
"It's over! It's dead!" Seeing that the life was gone, the refugees were curled up on the ground and cried bitterly. A village woman raised a little girl and kept begging: "Save my child! Save my child!"
Ou Chuyang's blood surged, grabbed a piece of rope, jumped down the city wall, and shouted: "Hold me!"
Mu Wanqing took the rope, swung her right hand around her waist, then grabbed the rope with both hands and kicked it on the battlement.
Ou Chuyang pulled the rope and slid down the wall a few ups and downs. "Give me the child!" Ou Chuyang took the little girl and tied it to his chest with a rope, and then shouted: "Take it!"
Chai Tiefeng hurried over to help Mu Wanqing pull it online. Just as Ou Chuyang was one foot off the ground, a giant rhino rushed straight towards her bone sword.
Ou Chuyang avoided the bone sword, drew the sword in his hand, stabbed the giant rhino eye socket with one sword, then jumped high and stepped heavily on the giant rhino head, and tumbling up with the force. Chai Tiefeng, Mu Wanqing hurriedly pulled Ou Chuyang into the air.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Dozens of bone spurs shot towards him again, and Ou Chuyang danced a sword light to cut off the bone spurs. However, a bone spur above hit the rope without bias. The rope broke in response to the sound, and Ou Chuyang fell down quickly.
"Chu Yang!" Mu Wanqing exclaimed, and was about to jump down, but Ou Chuyang inserted his right sword into the city wall with his right hand, hanging himself in the air, then pulled out the "Xiao Wang" sword with his left hand, and his hands were staggered onto the city wall step by step like climbing a snow mountain.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Hundreds of giant rhinos hit the city wall, and a series of violent impacts made the city wall tremble. Hundreds of refugees outside the city wall were all buried in the mouths of beasts.
"Mom!" the little girl shouted and lay on the battlements and cried bitterly.
"Little sister, what's your name?" Li Fuquan asked holding the little girl in his arms.
"My name is Xiaomei..." the little girl replied whimpering.
"Xiaomei, why don't you hide in the cellar and run away?"
"There are...the dragons underground...all the people in the village next door...all died... my parents took me out..." The little girl replied crying, "Dad...mother..."
"Take her to Meixintang first and take good care of her." Ou Chuyang ordered and said in confusion: "Didn't you say that you would be safe if you hide in the cellar? Didn't you say that the beast tide will not attack the city? What's going on?"
Li Fuquan shook his head repeatedly, "I don't know, this has never happened before."
"I don't think about it so much for the time being. It's important to guard the city gate." Ou Chuyang said to Cai Changzhi: "Hurry and send someone to demolish the nearby brick houses and seal the city gate holes."
"Yes." Cai Changzhi ordered his men to run away with dozens of people, and then nervously observed the situation outside the city wall.
The city wall of Zhengxi Acropolis is five meter high and three meter wide. It is made of bricks and stones, and is relatively reliable. However, a giant rhino as high as ten meter tall is standing on the back of a sword-horned man bull. The saber-toothed tiger lies on the back of the sword-horned man bull, and the height is already more than half of the city wall.
"Aowu-Aowu-" Groups of jackals and dogs and leopards kept jumping onto the tiger's back, eager to try.
"Does these beasts want to cross the city wall by stacking arhats?" Master Chen asked in a terrifying manner.
Chai Tiefeng said solemnly: "It is very likely that there must be a command from the Beast King behind these beasts."
"Beast King... that's a powerful person comparable to a heavenly level. How can we resist?" Bao Hanping sweated coldly.
"The soldiers come and the generals stop them, and the water comes and the soil covers them." Ou Chuyang said calmly: "Prepare to fight."
"Fight?" Cai Changzhi questioned: "The five of us have only more than 1,000 people in total. This wall is several miles wide. How can we defend it?"
"What do you think of?" Ou Chuyang asked back: "Are you leaving the city and running away now?"
