Chapter 5051 Perseverance in Desperate Situations
Pinggu City is located on the plain between valleys.
The terrain here is flat, the soil is fertile and the water is abundant, making it a famous grain producing area.
Compared to other places, there are more people living here.
After the beast tide broke out, nearby people rushed to Pinggu City, hoping to obtain military protection.
The Lord of Pinggu City did not reject anyone who came, and took them all into the city and arranged them properly.
Realizing that something was wrong, the city lord sent people to transport all the food from outside the city into the city for storage.
Then the people were mobilized to dig and widen the river outside the city, and at the same time strengthen the high walls to block the attack of monsters.
Create weapons on a large scale and integrate many strong men into the army to prevent the shortage of manpower in the event of war.
Such an operation is actually quite correct, but it does not mean that it can solve the crisis.
All because the enemies they encountered were ferocious monsters with fighting prowess far beyond that of humans.
Only by fighting with them can we know how terrifying the monsters are.
The residents of Pinggu City who participated in the battle have fully realized this. In the short period of time they were attacked by the monsters, they suffered heavy casualties.
These crazy monsters flocked to Pinggu City overwhelmingly, climbing up the city wall.
There are also some agile monsters that can easily jump up the wall with just one leap.
There were also some flying monsters that were not affected by the city wall at all and flew past under the glare of the city defenders.
After they entered the city, they destroyed and slaughtered wantonly. Some monsters could even spit fire and poisonous sand.
Many people and soldiers were killed by these monsters, and many buildings were burned by flames.
Many people in the city are always on the streets and alleys, rushing to rescue if danger occurs.
Many soldiers and warriors stood on the roof, constantly attacking the flying monsters.
In this way, order in the city was barely stabilized, but many people lost their lives.
There is no time to be sad, because the fighting is still going on, especially the fighting above the city wall, which is even more tragic now.
Bodies of defenders and monsters were piled above and below the city wall, filled with an unspeakable stench.
The roars of the city defenders and the howls of the monsters resounded over Pinggu City.
The soldiers fighting hard on the city wall will be replaced every ten minutes and retreat to the bottom of the city wall for a temporary rest.
One hundred people went up, but only seventy or eighty came back.
Not only was he exhausted, but he was also covered in scars, and there was despair in his numb eyes.
As the fighting continued, the reserve team continued to be replenished, and more and more farmers joined the team.
Many of the veterans in the city have died in the battle, and the rest continue to stick to their command.
War is the fastest way to promotion. When there are tragic casualties, veterans will be promoted to officers.
But it won’t be long before he may be replaced by someone else.
The commander of Pinggu City’s defense had already become hoarse, but he still kept waving the command flag.
The endless monsters and the increasing casualties make people feel desperate.
As the commander of the battle to defend the city, he now adheres to the beliefs of the soldiers and does not dare to leave for a single second.
Otherwise, if the morale of the army is disrupted, the city wall will fall immediately.
These crazy monsters will flood into the city like a tide and tear all the people in the city into pieces.
The soldiers on the city wall shed their blood and sacrificed their lives just to protect their homeland. They had already paid so much, so naturally there was no possibility of retreating.
Sacrificing your own life in exchange for the safety of the city is much better than having all the people in the city devoured by monsters.
In the building under the city wall, the city lord looked worried and looked at the two monks beside him.
"Two immortal masters, are there any other ways to resolve this crisis?"
Upon hearing the city lord's inquiry, the two monks shook their heads, saying that there was no better way.
Even a strong person in the Tribulation Stage would probably have a huge headache facing so many monsters.
The tribulation monks are powerful and can launch fierce attacks, but they eventually run out of strength.
The monster beasts are different. There are endless numbers, and it seems that they can’t be killed at all.
The city lord sighed, with a look of defeat on his face.
In fact, he also knew very well how dangerous the current situation was, as if a flood was overflowing the embankment, and there was a possibility of collapse at any time.
The ant is still alive. He is afraid of death and hopes to save the people in the city. When facing the terrifying monsters, they are indeed powerless, and even well-trained troops are no match.
Now I just fill it with my life and delay it as long as possible.
“Can you really send someone to rescue the city you are asking for help from?”
The city lord hesitated for a moment, then asked again, but felt uneasy in his heart.
As a mortal, he didn’t know much about Loucheng, but he still knew about this place from the mouths of two casual cultivators.
But I know that now, only Loucheng can take action to provide rescue to Pinggu City.
Those practicing sects that used to receive offerings and were aloof from above disappeared after the outbreak of the beast tide.
Through this incident, the city lord saw through the hypocrisy of the practicing sect and secretly said that he was really blind.
If I had known that these sect monks would be so unreliable in times of crisis, they would never have paid any tribute in exchange for protection.
Quan should have fed the dog.
When the city lord mentioned Lou City, the eyes of the two casual cultivators flashed with light and they nodded slightly hesitantly.
“Compared with other monk organizations, Loucheng is more likely to be rescued.
However, the situation is critical now. Many places are being attacked by monsters, so they should send rescue messages to Loucheng. .
The main concern is whether Loucheng has enough manpower. Otherwise, even rescue may not be timely. "
When the city lord heard the explanation, he was silent for more than ten breaths, and finally sighed again.
He actually knew very well that at this time, everything could only depend on fate.
The city lord's eyes condensed and suddenly became determined. He looked at the two practitioners and said: "If the sky destroys Pinggu City, we must not just wait for death. We must fight until the last moment.
The people in my city are all strong and strong. Even if the monsters devour them, a few of their teeth will be broken! ”
When the city lord said this, he took off his official uniform and took the armor from his attendants.
After putting it on, he tightened the wide belt, and then pulled out the stainless steel sword.
"I implore the two immortal masters to send a message for help to Loucheng again. I will go to the city wall to help kill the enemy.
If you are lucky enough to survive this disaster, you will definitely thank the two immortal masters and be able to Never leave when disaster strikes. "
There are more than two practitioners in the city, but when danger comes, they all flee here without hesitation.
Only these two monks spread their wings in Pinggu City. Because the family has too many people, there is no way to transfer them in time.
After hesitating for a while, he finally stayed and took the initiative to help ask for help from the outside world.
Although they are cultivators, they can only do this. Regardless of their realm or means, the two casual cultivators can only be regarded as average.
Letting them go into battle to kill the enemy will not change the status quo, and they may die at the hands of monsters soon.
The greatest value of a practitioner lies in being able to do things that ordinary people cannot do. If the remote call for help can be successful, it can even save the lives of the people in the city.
Although the hope is slim, we must try.
"Take care!"
"We will win!"
Both parties saluted each other and gave their final blessings.
Once you step out of this door, you may be separated between life and death, but you still have no hesitation.
The city lord, wearing armor and holding a sword, arrived at the city where a fierce battle was taking place, and met a monster rampaging rampantly.
The city lord, who was originally a scholar, showed no fear at this moment and rushed forward waving his sword.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers cheered suddenly, and their low morale was boosted again.
After a fight, the monster was killed, but the battle was not over.
More deformed monsters rushed out of the forest, rushing towards the city wall like a tide.
Seeing this scene, the despair in the hearts of the city defenders became more and more intense. They were definitely not able to resist so many terrifying monsters.
This battle to defend the city may be destined to end in failure.
The city lord was covered in blood. Seeing that morale was low, he wanted to encourage him.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly broke out, and then thick smoke was seen coming from the forest ahead.
The air flow surged and spread, and countless monsters were lifted into the sky, and their ugly bodies were torn into pieces.
