Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

The town was not far from the county seat, only a dozen miles away. All the people were traveling with their families and were not walking fast. Looking at the swarm of insects so close, Zhang Chen and Sima Feng were also extremely anxious.

There were nearly ten thousand people in the town, and it took two hours to reach half the distance. Zhang Chen looked behind him from time to time, but did not see the swarm of insects, and he felt relieved.

Finally, after four hours, the city wall of the county town came into sight in the distance. Everyone was shocked and immediately ran towards the city gate.

At this moment, Zhang Chen discovered a swarm of insects behind him. Gradually, there were more and more of them, and then they attacked Zhang Chen and his team.

Zhang Chen and Sima Feng immediately left the crowd and stood at the back, ready to block the insect swarm and buy them time. Zhang Chen took out his magic sword and swung several five-meter-long sword beams at the insect beasts that rushed in front of him, cutting dozens of insect beasts in front into two.

Sima Feng kept shooting arrows from the bow in his hand, almost always three arrows in a row, and each arrow hit an insect beast. Sima Feng's storage bag was full of arrows, so he was not afraid of consumption.

The insect beasts in front kept falling down, but they couldn't stop the insect swarm, so the two could only fight and retreat at the same time.

A large number of insects and beasts swarmed up. Zhang Chen looked at the crowd behind him. If they continued like this, they would definitely be caught up.

Zhang Chen was anxiously thinking of countermeasures. If he couldn't stop them, these people would have run for so long in vain.

Just then Zhang Chen thought of the insect mother's corpse in the storage bag. The insect mother's corpse had a strong attraction to insect beasts.

After Zhang Chen told Sima Feng his plan, he immediately took out the corpse of the insect queen from the storage bag and displayed it in front of the insect swarm.

In an instant, the insect beast in front paused and hesitated. It looked at the insect queen corpse in Zhang Chen's hand and the smell it emitted, and was a little hesitant.

Then Zhang Chen used his sword to cut a piece of insect mother meat and gave it to Sima Feng. Sima Feng put it on the arrow, then drew the bow and shot the insect mother meat directly into the insect beast group.

Soon a commotion broke out among the insect beasts, and a fierce dispute broke out over the insect mother meat. The dispute ended when a strong insect beast swallowed the insect mother meat into its stomach. Then the insect beasts all looked at the insect mother corpse in Zhang Chen's hand, revealing their desire.

So he cut off another piece of meat and Sima Feng shot it into the insect swarm on the other side. The insect beasts in front immediately chased after it and started fighting for it.

Zhang Chen looked at the insect queen's corpse in his hand and estimated that if he threw it piece by piece, it should be able to delay a lot of time, enough for those people to get to the city.

After about half an hour, Zhang Chen cut off another piece of meat and gave it to Sima Feng. As usual, Sima Feng shot it into the group of insect beasts. He thought they would continue to fight for it, but the insect beasts stood still. Although their eyes were full of desire, they did not move.

Zhang Chen and the other person immediately felt something was wrong. They saw the insect swarm slowly parting from the rear, and an insect beast that was obviously larger in size and had darker patterns on its body walked out. It stared at Zhang Chen fiercely with its eyes, and looked at the corpse of the insect queen in Zhang Chen's hand with bloodshot eyes.

"No, that's the insect mother."

Zhang Chen immediately felt something was wrong. He saw anger and hatred in the eyes of the insect mother. Only the insect mother could have such rich emotions.

Sure enough, with a low roar from it, all the insects and beasts stared at Zhang Chen fiercely and attacked Zhang Chen and Sima Feng frantically.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two men immediately began to retreat. Zhang Chen put the remaining insect queen corpses into the storage bag, and took Sima Feng to the other side of the crowd and ran straight to the city wall of the county town. The swarm of insects all came towards the two and followed closely behind them.

Fortunately, they were only the vanguard of the insect beasts, and there were no flying insect beasts chasing them. Although the two were in danger and did not get rid of the insect swarm, their lives were not in danger.

Soon the city wall appeared in front of them. Seeing the wall full of soldiers, the two men felt confident.

Soon the swarm of insects entered the attack range of the soldiers on the city wall. Arrows were fired instantly. Zhang Chen and Sima Feng also turned around and attacked. The insects and beasts that entered the attack range kept falling down. Seeing the fierce attack, under the order of the Insect Queen, the subsequent insects and beasts began to retreat, dragging the bodies of the dead insects and beasts.

Zhang Chen and his companion saw the swarm of insects retreating and began to run towards the direction of the crowd, wanting to check on their condition.

When they arrived, they found that there were still casualties among the crowd. It turned out that a small part of the swarm was chasing them. Fortunately, most of them ran into the soldiers' defense range, and the pursuing swarm was attacked and repelled.

Looking at the remaining people entering the city, Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He had saved a lot of people this time, and his heart was suddenly filled with joy. He and Sima Feng also entered the city to meet up with other disciples.

The county city of Youshui was called Daliang City. As a county city, the city wall of Daliang was ten zhang high and three zhang wide, and the defense was very strict. At this time, nearly one million soldiers had gathered in the city.

The entire county town covers an area of ​​one hundred square kilometers and has a permanent population of several million. Because other places have fallen, the surrounding people have fled into the city, causing the population of the city to increase several times, and there is no shortage of soldiers.

Zhang Chen and Sima Feng arrived at the place where their fellow disciples lived. After reporting to the uncle-master who led the team, they returned to their assigned rooms to rest.

At night, Zhang Chen was awakened by a loud noise. He went out to inquire and found out that the swarm of insects had launched an attack tonight, but was quickly repelled. It seemed to be just a test.

Zhang Chen came to the city wall and looked at the scene outside the wall. At this time, there were only countless arrows left on the ground, and the corpses of the insect beasts had been dragged away by them.

More than a dozen sword lights probed back and forth in the air, guarding against the swarm of insects' counterattack.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Zhang Chen went back to rest. For several days, the swarm of insects only made tentative attacks at night and did not launch any major attacks.

During the day, Zhang Chen and his colleagues were arranged to go out to investigate the movements of the insect swarm and observe the terrain, especially underground, to carefully check whether there were any secret passages dug by the insect swarm.

Two days later, the Zerg finally launched an all-out attack. Outside Daliang City, a dense ocean of insects and beasts had gathered. The swarms of flying insects and beasts in the sky were like dark clouds, covering the sky and the moon. They launched a fierce attack from the ground and the air.

However, the city of Daliang had high walls and thick garrisons, with a million soldiers stationed there, sufficient reinforcements, and mountains of arrows. They were not afraid at all. The battle lasted for a whole night, and the swarm of insects could not even attack the city walls. There were many arrow towers built on the walls, and even flying insects and beasts could not get close, so they could not do much harm.

After three days of continuous attack, the Zerg suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties, but still failed to take the city. On the fourth day, the Zerg stopped attacking and instead surrounded Daliang City, as if they wanted to trap them to death.

However, in order to deal with this war, Daliang City was well prepared. It had enough food and grass to supply at least one year, and it also had a lot of raw materials for weapons stockpiled, so it was not afraid of being besieged at all.

Several days passed without any movement from the swarm of insects. The disciples who went to investigate did not find anything wrong. They were puzzled and could not figure out what the swarm of insects were planning. Logically speaking, the swarm of insects was huge in number and the consumption was also high. The longer they waited, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
