"Rumble …"
A series of roars came from the ground, more exaggerated than an earthquake. Even if there was an earthquake, the frequency of the tremors would not be this high.
Sure enough, as Du Feng expected, the beast tide's vanguard was mainly small demon beasts, but there were more of them than he imagined. Snow wolves, hunting foxes, elk, wild boars, and many other demon beasts swarmed over. Normally, snow wolves might hunt elk, but now their common goal was to capture the human city. As for this border defense, it was nothing at all.
"Ready! Shoot! "
The city guards could not bear to use the crossbows that Du Feng gave them, so they used the ordinary bows and arrows in their hands to shoot first. After all, those demon beasts were not of high levels, and it was too wasteful to use crossbows.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
A large number of iron arrows were shot out densely, and the scene of tens of thousands of arrows shooting at the same time was quite spectacular. Human martial artists were smarter than demon cultivators, and their choice of materials was also better. The arrows of the demon cultivator village were made of bamboo, with an iron head embedded in the front. The arrows used by the city guards were all made of black iron. They were heavier and had greater penetrative power.
"Puchi, puchi …"
The sound of sharp blades piercing into flesh could be heard, and the sharp iron arrows pierced into the demon beasts' bodies. Coupled with the force of the collision, the power was very great. Not only was the skin and fur penetrated, but even the internal organs exploded. Some of the arrows that were not so accurate directly hit the bones of the demon beasts. Legs were shot, legs were broken, heads were shot, the scene was quite bloody.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! "
The city guards cheered in unison. This wave of shooting was quite effective. Of course, they did not dare to relax at all, because the next beast tide had arrived. The species were still snow wolves, wild boars, and other demon beasts, but their bodies were slightly larger. Logically speaking, they should be running faster, and hiding at the back would definitely make those in front cannon fodder, using them to consume the city guards' arrows.
Such a large beast tide, there was definitely someone directing it from behind. Maybe it was the same person who attacked the bear tribe. Du Feng sized up the situation at the front line and did not make a move for the time being. These low-level demon beasts, the city guards could still deal with them. If his spiritual pets were still here, he could let them go down to practice. Unfortunately, during the battle in the Devil's Den, other than Xiao Hei, the other spiritual pets had all died.
"Rumble …"
The earth trembled even more violently, and the low walls of the border began to shake as well. The quality of this broken wall was really bad. It had already started to fall before it was even hit. Du Feng brushed off the dust on his body and frowned. This was simply taking the lives of the border guards as a joke. The defensive line was too weak.
"Fire!"
The guards pulled back their longbows and shot the iron arrows once again. The arrows pierced into the bodies of the demonic beasts without slowing down. However, the effect this time was not as good as the last time, so the size of the Demonic Beasts increased. This was especially true for demonic beasts like the wild boar, which had coarse skin and thick flesh. After it grew in size, it was impossible to kill it with a single arrow unless it was a vital point.
"Shoot again!"
The guards had wanted to wait for the next wave of Demonic Beasts to charge at them before shooting again, but the previous wave had not been completely wiped out. They could only hurriedly pull back their bows and fire again. After the second round of shooting, the Demonic Beasts were finally stopped.
"Wu … Wu …"
Not good, the new wave of Demonic Beasts was actually mixed in with the Iron Armored Rhinoceros. This type of Demonic Beast might not have a high rank, but its size was much larger than the wild boar. Furthermore, it had coarse skin and thick flesh, making it especially durable. The horn in front of its head was especially damaging to the walls. If they were to charge at them, the border guards would probably be broken through.
"Assault team, advance!"
Apart from Du Feng, there were no other Origin Realm captains at the border. There was only a spontaneous leader commanding the troops. He was slightly older and naturally had more battle experience. Thus, his commands were rather orderly. The so-called assault team was a group of fifty muscular men that were selected.
Everyone might be at the Martial Condensation Realm Cultivation, but these hundred muscular men had a much stronger physique. They were wearing heavy armor with higher defense, and there were many long spikes protruding from the armor. Each of them held a chain hammer with a handle. The chain wasn't considered long, but the hammer on it was very large. It required a certain amount of strength to swing it.
"Archers, cover!"
The archers all pulled back their longbows. This time, they weren't shooting randomly, but they were aiming at those demonic beasts that didn't have strong defenses. The Snow Wolves might not have strong defenses, but their movements were very agile and their attacks weren't weak. If they were to surround the assault team, it would be a huge loss.
"Fire!"
The archers shot wildly. Their targets were the agile demonic beasts, intentionally avoiding the wild boars and Iron Armored Rhinoceros.
"Pfff pfff pfff …"
Another sound of sharp blades piercing through flesh. Large groups of demonic beasts were shot to death. They fell to the ground and stopped moving forward. This way, those wild boars and Iron Armored Rhinoceros that weren't shot to death would be especially conspicuous.
"Charge!"
The hundred muscular men of the assault team started to run. The chain hammers in their hands were swung vigorously. The heavy armor on their bodies increased the power of their charge. Not long after, they were already in close combat with the wild boars in front of them.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
These muscular men obviously had their own way of attacking. The chain hammers in their hands spun and smashed the side of the wild boars' heads, close to their ears. The defense here was relatively weak, and they didn't need to collide with the wild boars. With a hammer, they could directly knock down a wild boar.
Once the wild boar was knocked down, even if it didn't die, it would become a stumbling block for the Iron Armored Rhinoceros behind. The assault team took the opportunity to swing their hammers at the Iron Armored Rhinoceros again. Their hammers weren't smooth round hammers, nor were they eight-edged golden melons. Instead, they were like sea urchins with thorns all over them. Once the hammers smashed down, not only would the skin and flesh split open, but they could also stab the eyes of the Iron Armored Rhinoceros.
The Iron Armored Rhinoceros that got their eyes stabbed wouldn't die. Instead, they would charge even more crazily. At this time, the thorns on the heavy armor were very useful. They could stab the Iron Armored Rhinoceros and protect the guards. This group of Iron Armored Rhinoceros was either stabbed to death or bumped into each other. Soon, they were wiped out.
Large-scale battles were indeed different. One had to admit that the guards of Stone Plain City were better trained than ordinary warriors. If it were ordinary warriors, they would be crushed and trampled to death when faced with a large number of demonic beasts. Even if the Cultivation level was higher, it would be useless. Without strategy and tactics, it was impossible to survive in a beast tide.
