Lord of the Desert

Chapter 173 Bloody Battle

Liao Zhenghao couldn't sit still.

He had seen the blood sacrifice of the snake man before, but there was absolutely no such movement as today.

The red cloud rolled up and down, wrapped the upper part of the altar, and then spread out in all directions like a wave.

Under the earth slope, thousands of snake men lined up in a radial formation, kowtowed to the center, and bowed to the ground.

Three miles away, there was no sound.

But Liao Zhenghao could tell that the morale of the snake man had reached its limit.

Soon, real changes swept to the side of Jinhai City.

The defenders lowered their eyes and saw a thin red mist rising from the trench.

This is the residual blood that was drawn out.

After a few breaths, the snakeman corpses piled up in the city also responded.

The already coagulated plasma dries up at an accelerated rate, smokes at the opening of the wound, and rises into the air like strands of silk.

The stench spread.

Hongyun crossed the city wall and headed north all the way, the destination was the Snakeman Altar.

Chilin's sharp howling hit the city wall.

The snake people began to organize the army.

At the same time, Hong Fan woke up from the internal vision.

The branches of the dragon soul tree on the altar rustled, and seemed to point to something—the feeling was similar to that when I saw the Xiao brothers, but even more strange and majestic.

He left the bungalow and walked out of the street with dozens of steps, facing the city wall.

There is a slightly rotten smell in the air, and red silk strands are floating on the top of the city.

The yelling of low-ranking officers continued one after another.

The contiguous military tents were lifted up, and the soldiers assembled in order by ranks and rushed up the trail to the city.

All of this is in harmony with the distant sound of war drums, like Jin Haicheng's pulse that is gradually growing stronger after waking up.

Hong Fan jumped onto the city wall in a few steps.

Three miles away, he saw that the snake man was also adjusting his formation.

On both sides of the sea wall, all the braziers were lit.

Then more torches were brought up to the city by the soldiers, illuminating them like daylight.

The dense flames can strengthen the courage in the dark, and can also confuse the heat vision of the snake people.

Yinshi is a quarter past (four fifteen).

In the darkest hours before dawn, the Snakemen launch an all-out attack.

The unfolded surface is nearly four miles wide, covering the entire northern city wall of Jinhai City.

Hong Fu ran up the city along the trail.

He was still sleepy when he got out of the tent, and when he got to the city, he woke up suddenly when he saw the reflective pupils in the darkness a hundred meters away.

The drums kept beating, and the more they beat, the more urgent they became.

The battle flag swayed on the city tower with the light of the fire.

Hong Fu heard the vague sound of the pipa, which was the string crossbow on the bed.

But the night was too dark, and his cultivation was not enough, so he couldn't see the trajectory and results of the crossbow.

The snake man walked a hundred steps away and began to change formations.

In the middle of each section of the city wall, the mace and Yaksha that had caused huge damage were avoided.

The arrows on the city are like rain, like the tide.

The city is like a retrograde reef.

The trench was easily waded.

There is no prelude to fighting, the beginning is the climax.

Holding a file axe, Hong Fu chopped off the claws climbing up the parapet.

The old pawn on the right did the same thing, but was bitten by the shoulder by the suddenly rising snake-man partition wall and dragged down the city wall.

Hong Ping's eyes were red.

He stabbed his spear and pierced the other snake man's breastbone.

The blade of the gun twisted and scraped against the bone with a creaking sound.

The snake man was about to exhaust himself, but a palm-long poisonous snake popped out from his armpit, biting Hong Ping's cheek.

The pain was as mild as a mosquito bite, not worth mentioning.

Hong Ping kicked the corpse down and drew his gun with one arm, tore off the little snake hanging from his face and stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it until his lips and teeth bled...

More and more snakemen rushed to the city wall.

After a cup of tea, the line of defense gradually became uneven.

The red square flag was raised first on the main city tower, and it soon spread throughout the entire city wall.

Jin Hai's method of suppressing the stage was used.

The hollow square cabinet with a height of more than one meter is made of wrought copper, and on the top is a pump raised by four pipes.

The front end of the pump is tapered, and it is placed over the brazier and roasted until it is red hot.

Every time the fireman pulled the piston, several liters of dark brown viscous liquid flew six to seven feet away, spontaneously igniting in the air.

Hong Fan recognized this thing, it was called fierce fire oil tank, and what it shot out was crude oil.

With the help of the fire dragons protruding from the left and right sides of each horse-faced wall, the situation was greatly eased.

The snake man reacted immediately.

On the side of Broken Tooth, a giant snake more than [-] meters long was ordered to press forward.

This is a wild beast domesticated by the Snakeman. Its power is far superior to that of a Hunran warrior, and its effect on the battlefield is several times greater.

The giant snake approached with powerful arrows, followed by dozens of second-sacrificing snake men.

Everyone has at least a high level combat power.

Hongcheng stood high on the city tower, watching with cold eyes.

It is the usual tactic of the Snakeman to engage in large-scale battles, and then gather the elite to break the surface.

"For the first round, let the Li family go."

he shouted.

After the military order was issued, a herald flew down the city wall.

Soon, the only remaining four Hunranjing members of the Li family led three teams of Wudang riders to the city along the horse path, all wearing double armor and holding heavy blunt weapons such as gourd hammers.

There were bursts of thunder, which even overwhelmed the shouts of killing.

The snake man's breakthrough was blocked.

In the rear, Broken Tooth raised a strange-shaped sword and shield as tall as a person, and joined the battlefield.

On the Jinhai side, the sympathy between heaven and man who have been waiting for a long time also moves accordingly.

Still 30 meters away from the high wall, Broken Tooth leaped up, intending to go to the city in one fell swoop.

During the soaring, Hong Wu's Fire Cloud Palm arrived first from the air, consuming its momentum.

Shi Yuanwei urged the Shen Xing Dian to float and fly in the air at a speed faster than his opponent's, stabbing his sword guerrilla.

The third to arrive was Liao Zhenghao.

The power of Mo Ya's palm blasted out from a distance, blasting Broken Fang back to the city in one fell swoop.

Affected by this delay, Gongsun Shi and Chi Zhuiyuan, who came from east and west, arrived one after another.

The five celestial beings lined up on the wall in sympathy, with piercing eyes and each gaining momentum.

Broken Tooth raised his head and looked up, suddenly feeling troublesome.

At this time, Chilin sent out a second elite team.

Also use the giant snake to lead the cover and attack the weak city section.

Hong Fan was fighting on the front line and immediately noticed the change.

The wind and sand gathered, and the climbing walls turned into sand treads.

He jumped out of the sea wall, galloped around the horse-faced wall, and was the first to reach the next city section.

The snake elite just went to the city.

"Get out of the way!"

Hong Fan gave an order and accelerated his steps.

The sand flow behind him rolled back in the air and turned into a large shield on his left arm.

With a backhand shield attack, the leading snake man was thrown out of the female wall.

The exploded sand shield turned into sand arrows and swept across in disorder, blowing away countless flesh and blood scales.

Jinhai's elite reserve team has also arrived.

Dozens of heavily armored warriors pushed forward like a wall, taking advantage of the Snakeman's unstable foothold, they greatly compressed their front line.

The mighty sound of the wind suddenly sounded, causing the flames to deflect.

Hong Fan followed the sound, and saw a giant snake with a diameter of more than one meter wide, winding its body up to the top of the city easily, crushing large pieces of stone bricks.

The snake's head fell down, hitting a heroic rider from Chi's family.

Flesh armor splashed.

The blood mist rose and headed north against the wind.

Then it was scattered by the sand flow rushing up from the city.

Hong Fan condensed his sand armor, he only took a few steps forward, and his stature has already grown two feet.

There was a roar of anger, and the [-]-jin giant hammer stirred the atmosphere and hit the side of the giant snake's head.

All of a sudden, everyone felt their feet tremble.

The snake's head suddenly deflected, and the blood rushed out from under the scales like a knife, splashing more than ten feet away.

The fresh smell of blood hit Hong Fan's nose, adding to his murderous intent.

He swung his heavy hammer and was about to give chase, but was hit on the back by the giant tail that swept under the cover of the city wall.

The sand armor exploded with a muffled sound.

Hong Fan shattered the wooden frame of the spike, flew over ten meters away, and rolled down under the tower.

He tried to get up, but a mouthful of blood stuck to his chest, and he couldn't gather his strength.
