Chapter 2572 City-Wide Mobilization
The regular legion from the empire, the weapons and equipment are by no means comparable to the local troops, at least more than the garrison of Tianxu City.
They carry a large number of heavy weapons and travel across mountains and rivers, and they never mind trouble.
During normal legion operations, the auxiliary units are several times more than the number of combat soldiers. Their task is to transport food, grass and baggage, and their combat effectiveness can only be said to be average.
But when the mutation occurred, these auxiliary arms also became extremely fierce, and their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the regular army before the mutation.
It's not just the crossbows that have mutated, heavy weapons such as trebuchets have also undergone incredible changes.
A normal trebuchet throws projectiles through rope tendons and heavy objects, and its range is not particularly far.
But the mutated trebuchet has a super long range and an even more terrifying attack power.
Because the mutated trebuchet has also turned into a flesh-and-blood monster, the auxiliary soldiers responsible for transportation have become one with the trebuchet.
Judging from the drawings in the intelligence, the trebuchet looks like a deformed skeleton monster with a weird meat ball in its hand.
When launched, the trebuchet will make a strange cry, round its arms and throw the meat ball.
No one knows what the killing effect of the meat ball is, but it is definitely not a good thing. Once it is hit on the body, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In addition, there are heavy armored cavalry, riding the same mutated war horses, advancing slowly in a neat square formation.
The seemingly slow march is actually an accumulation of momentum. If you encounter an enemy, it will instantly turn into lightning and thunder.
But when facing Tianxu City, this kind of heavy armored cavalry with strong defense has no use.
But if it serves as a blockade, it is definitely an iron wall. It cannot be broken down without paying a heavy price.
As for the infantry and archers, they have also been strengthened. It is no exaggeration to say that one is worth ten.
In a short period of time, the patrol team only collected this information, and it was obtained at risk.
In order to obtain this information, the rune airship was almost shot down by the monks who shot down Loucheng. The whole process was extremely dangerous.
After collecting enough intelligence, the rune airship quickly left, but the intelligence news it brought back was enough to arouse everyone's vigilance.
The arrival of a new crisis has made the atmosphere in Tianxu City tense again, and everyone has a strong sense of urgency.
In a short period of time, there were two battles in which monsters attacked the city. Although Tianxu City won each time, it also paid a heavy price.
The number of people killed in Tianxu City has exceeded a thousand, and the reserves of supplies have been consumed in large quantities. If another large-scale battle breaks out, I don’t know if it can withstand it?
The war was all about attrition. At this time, Tianxu City was at the end of its rope, and all the strength of the city was being used up.
When faced with this kind of life-or-death problem, even if they really can't handle it, the residents of Tianxu City must grit their teeth and hold on.
A show of weakness will only make the enemy crazier and more aggressive.
The extremely greedy monster will never give you a chance to breathe, and will devour its prey until even the dregs are left.
Tianxu City once again entered a state of war preparation. Although the residents were extremely depressed, they had no choice.
The catastrophe suddenly strikes, and survival is not easy. If you want to live, you have to endure all kinds of torture.
Although it seems extremely painful, compared to those unfortunate people struggling on the verge of death, the residents of Tianxu City are really lucky.
At least they didn't turn into monsters, and they didn't end up with their families and people destroyed. When monsters attacked, they could fight them as one united effort. Fortunately among the misfortunes, nearly a thousand monks from Lou City joined Tianxu City, which made Tang Zhen even more confident.
The fighting power of the Loucheng monks far exceeds that of the residents of Tianxu City. When the crisis comes, they can definitely turn the tide.
Tang Zhen did not regard himself as the city lord, but gave every Loucheng monk the opportunity to participate and let them participate in the defense work together.
He announced to the monks that they should each demonstrate their abilities and work together to find a way to deal with this crisis.
Although the monks didn't say anything about Tang Zhen's statement, they were very satisfied in their hearts.
Although Tang Zhen is famous and has occupied Tianxu City, it does not mean that everyone will recognize his leadership.
Youjiu and Luo Fei agree with Tang Zhen, but that doesn't mean that other Loucheng monks agree with him too. Although they don't say it, they definitely have their own thoughts in their hearts.
If you want to conquer these rebellious Loucheng monks, you must have a stunning performance that makes people feel unmatched.
Some things require waiting for opportunities. Tang Zhen was not in a hurry. He even wished that more outstanding Loucheng monks would appear to help him share the pressure.
As for these monks who had just arrived in Loucheng, they behaved very steadily and seemed not to worry about monsters attacking at all.
For these Loucheng monks, whether Tianxu City can be defended or not will not have a great impact on them.
If monsters destroy Tianxu City, the monks in Loucheng will lose some servants at most, but they will have an extra place to hunt monsters at will.
The Loucheng monks in the Fifth War Zone have a common problem with other Loucheng monks, that is, they do not take the indigenous people seriously.
In this aspect, Tang Zhen appears to be very different.
Unlike other Loucheng monks, Tang Zhen values the potential of the aboriginal people more. As long as they are given enough opportunities, they may bring unexpected surprises.
It will take some time for the monster army to come to the door. Tang Zhen plans to use this time to cultivate another batch of war beasts.
Continue to use air superiority to attack monsters from a high position, which may even affect the outcome of the entire war.
Black Dragon originally thought he had escaped, but he didn't want to be targeted by Tang Zhen again. He could only curse despicable humans in his heart while working hard to reproduce.
Tang Zhen took Luo Fei and others to start a firearms production line, striving to produce as many weapons as possible before the monster army came.
Through this defensive battle, the power of firearms has been proven, especially for ordinary residents, this is an artifact for hunting monsters.
They don't need to aim at all, they just need to point the muzzle at the monster below and pull the trigger.
The densely packed monsters will actively hit the bullets, and then lose their lives in a daze.
After confirming the power of guns and weapons, the residents of Tianxu City urgently need a large number of guns and weapons to fight against more and more monsters.
The residents of Tianxu City took quick action to repair the areas damaged by the war, transporting various weapons needed for defense, eager to carry every stone to the battlefield.
All the weapons used in previous battles have been recovered and repaired. Because the amount of work was too large, the entire Tianxu City residents were mobilized.
Both men, women and children, old and young, all came to the streets and were very busy.
Thanks: The reward of “I’ll kill you if you ask again” is to thank the book friends for their support.
