Five kinds of medicine in another world

Chapter 178: Keeping the Rules (1)

Its daybreak.

As soon as the sky brightened, the demons in the demon camp had already begun to move. Four armies, led by a demon emperor respectively, rushed towards the four walls of Demon Zhen County.

The demons did not carry any form of siege equipment, or it could be said that any siege equipment was meaningless to them.

There is no need to say much about the seventh-level Demon Emperors. With their own powerful strength, they are able to fly directly to the top of the city wall; and other high-level demons can also easily leap onto the top of the city with just a few jumps.

It can be said that the city wall of Zhenmo County is just an insignificant toy in their eyes.

Some people may wonder why the demons don’t choose to destroy the city walls directly?

The reason is actually very simple. After all, this is the Demon Suppression County, and the city walls are covered with dense spiritual texts. The purpose of these spiritual texts is very simple and clear: to resist the invasion of demons and to strengthen the strength of the city walls. You know, as a county, how could its defense system be breached so easily?

Unless the demons continue to launch attacks until the spiritual text on the city wall is severely damaged, it will be almost impossible to destroy the city wall.

Relatively speaking, attacking the city gate is much easier. However, Zhenmo County only opened one city gate. Obviously, Xiao Cangtian is not stupid. He will never take the risk of pinning all his hopes on this only passage.

Tens of millions of demon soldiers rushed towards the city walls in all directions like a black torrent.

Compared to the huge bodies of the demons, it was not so easy for the demons to rush directly into the city wall, but they had the advantage of being more flexible and having a smaller target size. In the demon army, several exciting horn sounds resounded through the sky, as if it was a signal for a charge.

Immediately afterwards, the demon army came like a surging wave, surging from thousands of meters away, with unparalleled momentum, rushing straight towards the Demon-Suppressing County.

Their steps were in perfect unison, creating a thrilling rhythm; their eyes were filled with fanaticism and murderous intent, as if they wanted to devour the entire Demon-Suppressing County.

Every demon soldier exuded a powerful aura. They held a variety of weapons in their hands, flashing with cold light and revealing endless threats.

The scene was like the end of the world, which was terrifying.

"Giant crossbowman, fire!"

Gu Shijiu flew to the center of Zhenmo County and shouted loudly.

The giant crossbow is a standard weapon for city defense. It requires the joint efforts of several level three demons to draw the bow and shoot giant crossbow arrows, which can cause damage to demons below level six. If there are no high-level demons to resist, it can even cause huge casualties like a string of candied haws.

Of course, there are not many of these powerful weapons, and the speed of drawing the bow is not very fast.

There are hundreds of giant crossbows on each of the four city walls, and only one arrow can be shot every five breaths.

When four hundred giant crossbow arrows were shot at the demons, nearly half of them were blocked by the demon masters, and the remaining nearly two hundred were shot at the densely packed demon team. In an instant, a blood line ran through the demon team for nearly a hundred meters.

This kind of attack lasted for ten rounds before the demon army arrived at the bottom of the city wall.

When the demon army was about to leap onto the city wall, Gu Shijiu spoke again:

"Gravity Spirit Array, move forward, strong archers, play freely!"

Rows of discs were affixed to the inner city wall, and waves of magic halo spread out.

The demon army found that they could only jump about two meters and could not jump onto the city wall at all.

The city wall of Zhenmo County was already nearly twenty meters high, and now it has been raised by another two meters, reaching more than twenty meters.

The demon army had no choice but to climb upwards.

Fortunately, the demon army had excellent climbing skills and they crawled upwards quickly like countless geckos.

The demon-suppressing talisman on the city wall emitted a faint halo, continuously causing damage to the demons.

But apart from the low-level demons who couldn't help but let go and dropped their weapons, the other demons could withstand it. The damage from just a spiritual text was not that scary.

"Boiling water, put it on!"

Following an order, pots of boiling hot water poured down like waterfalls, mercilessly hitting the demons who were trying to climb up. The hot water was so hot that it seemed to melt everything.

The demons, who were more than ten meters tall, were hit by the sudden hot water. They screamed in pain, their bodies were scalded red, and some even fell directly from a height and landed heavily on the ground.

However, this is just the beginning.

Then, another command came:

"Gold juice, pour!"

More golden liquid poured down from above. This liquid gave off a pungent smell and was obviously some kind of highly poisonous substance.

The demons tried to climb up again, but as soon as they came into contact with the golden juice, they let out even more miserable screams, wisps of green smoke came out of their bodies, and their skin was burned to pieces.

The whole scene was horrific. The demons struggled hard under this double attack but could not escape their tragic fate.

Not far away, saints including Gu Shijiu showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

……

"Disgusting! This is definitely a shady trick that Gu Shijiu came up with."

Xiao Cangtian watched the tactics of the soldiers guarding the city from afar and couldn't help but curse.

In his opinion, such a trick must have been invented by Gu Shijiu.

He had thought about it early on that in Zhenmo County, apart from the upright military masters like Yuwen Nuo and Gongsun Wen, the only ones who were good at defense were his father Xiao Wuming and Gu Shijiu.

Yuwen Nuo and Gongsun Wen only knew how to defend honestly, but they would never use any surprising tactics. In Xiao Cangtian's eyes, the two of them could only defend the city for an hour at most.

Xiao Wuming's scheme was quite complicated, but he also had some understanding of it. Although he was a little afraid, he could only hold out for half a day at most when facing his conspiracy.

And, Gu Nineteen.

Xiao Cangtian took a deep look at Gu Shijiu who was flying and standing in the air in the distance, and sighed.

He didn’t know. Yes, he didn’t know how far Gu Shijiu could go.

Xiao Cangtian vaguely remembered the scene when Gu Shijiu killed horses to defend the city when he was guarding Zhenxie County more than ten years ago, and he felt a little scared.

Gu Shijiu was able to connect two completely unrelated things together and make his own plan. Such planning ability and novel tactics were far beyond his reach.

Xiao Cangtian looked at the battlefield again, and seeing the endless army of demons, he felt relieved again.

After all, he was the one who had the upper hand, and he was using an open and aboveboard strategy. No matter how many schemes Gu Shijiu had, he would retreat in the face of his open schemes! Millions of demon troops could not be defeated by just a few strategies.

Thinking of this, Xiao Cangtian shouted loudly:

"Charge hard! The first one to break through the city wall will be trained to become the next Demon Saint. You will share the world with us Demon Saints. Brothers, charge!"

Xiao Cangtian's words made the demon army's attack speed increase by another three times.
