Chapter 90 The Porcupine Strikes
The arrow pigs lined up in dozens of rows. Under the order of the porcupine king, they launched the first attack on the Gaochang King City. Tens of thousands of arrow pigs collectively "shot with horned arrows".

Suddenly, a large area of ​​darkness covered the air, pressing towards the city wall.

The sharp horned arrows were so black that they glowed; Facing the overwhelming horned arrows, Tianyinke's feet froze. Cao Zhuo, who was by his side, saw that something was wrong, so he immediately pulled Tianyinke to hide under the battlements .

A general of the Xiliang army didn't show the slightest uneasiness when he saw the horned arrows coming from the sky, and the soldiers below were also well-trained, and they didn't intend to dodge at all.

"Shield." General Xiliang gave an order.

All the soldiers on the city wall and under the inner city gave a "whoosh" and lifted up an iron shield at the same time, forming layers of iron shield walls on the city wall and under the inner city. It can be seen from the movements of the soldiers that All of them are elite soldiers, holding their shields steadily without trembling at all.

But Tianyinke under the battlements was trembling all over, and the soldiers beside him smiled contemptuously when they saw Tianyinke's appearance.

With his eyes tightly closed, he felt the power of the horned arrows shooting all over the sky. After a while, Tian Yinke heard the sound of the horned arrows hitting the iron shield, followed by screams and screams from around him. There was also the sound of objects piercing through the flesh. Tian Yinke and Cao Zhuo suddenly opened their eyes, looked at each other, and then looked at the corpses of soldiers around them, and some soldiers were struggling and moaning on the ground without being shot through. Yes, but after a while, there was no movement at all.

Tian Yinke knew that this was the paralyzing effect of the arrow-pig, so perhaps such a death would not be too painful.

Many soldiers lost their fortitude just now and hid under the battlements; although the horned arrows of the arrows piercing the pigs were powerful, they had not yet reached the ability to break through the city with one arrow, otherwise, the city walls would be like nothing.

And the guards around General Xiliang who gave the order just now were dead, and only one person was left holding a saber. After pushing aside a few horned arrows, he was doomed in the end. More than a dozen horned arrows nailed him to the wall of the tower , it seems that a small part of the horned arrows were aimed at him, otherwise, under the protection of fifty personal guards, he would have died. This is rarely seen in siege battles.

"Ming... the drum." General Xiliang yelled loudly before dying.

Then, some soldiers ran into the city tower and thumped the big drum; the sound of the drum instantly spread throughout the city.

After taking a look at the tragic death of General Xiliang just now, Cao Zhuo glanced around, and said with a straight face: "Something is wrong, how did the shooting power of these arrow-pigs become so powerful? Usually their horned arrows can't pierce through them." Iron Shield."

Tian Yinke, whose whole body was trembling, twitched his lips and said, "I... know." Of course I know, and I don't even think about who is the leader?Porcupine, the king of the orc clan, only appeared once in tens of thousands of years.I didn't expect that there would be an attack power bonus.

Cao Zhuo said with a strong smile: "Brother, I found that you are very fond of my brother, just like my brother when I was young. When I think of killing people, I will tremble with excitement."

"How do you know?" Tian Yinke's eyes were surprised, and he stopped trembling when he spoke.

Cao Zhuo smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that my brother is also from here."

Bang, bump, bump, a huge collision sound suddenly sounded, and both Tian Yinke and Cao Zhuo felt that the city wall seemed to be trembling.

The porcupine camp, at this time, after the porcupine king ordered the first attack, he himself was unwilling to be lonely, and went into battle in person, throwing one after another ligers towards the city wall with astonishing force, like a trebuchet The ligers and tigers had no resistance at all, and were thrown towards the city wall like stones, and burst open immediately, turning into a pool of flesh and blood, and a bloodstain was left on the city wall, and some of the city walls still had some cracks.

"Gaochang General Qu Zhou is coming." Cao Zhuo said to Tian Yinke beside him.

Under normal circumstances, if the Gaochang King City finds an enemy attacking, it will sound the horn to warn. If the bell and drum are ringing, it means that the situation is very critical, so a strong standing army in the hands of the general will be dispatched.Although it is a standing army, it is the first-class strong army in Gaochang King City.

"I see, what kind of forest king of yours should be renamed the shrunken tortoise. He dare not show his face after seeing such a tragic death of his own kind." The porcupine king said disdainfully to the ligers who were bound and thrown on the ground. .

And this liger is the big liger that Tian Yinke saw that day, the patriarch of the liger clan.

It's really hard to fight with this wall as a shield.The porcupine king looked at the tall city walls of Gaochang King City and thought to himself.

And the porcupine from the shadows appeared, and said in fear, "Your Majesty, it's better...it's better to let the subordinates go down and open the city gate."

"Hmph, you've come up with such a bad idea, go back to your shadow." The porcupine king yelled at the shadow porcupine with anger.

The porcupine king said proudly: "Of course this lord must do such a difficult and glorious task as opening the city gate."

Hearing this, the shadow porcupine turned pale with fright and was about to appear a black shadow, but no porcupine king stepped back. The porcupine king said proudly: "Now this place is under the leadership of the shadow porcupine, and its words are equivalent to Do you understand my order?"

The arrow-hinged pigs below all should be.

"Your Majesty, you must at least bring a team of guards." The Shadow Porcupine flashed in front of the Porcupine King and said quickly.

"Go away, when will it be your turn to arrange this and that for me?" The porcupine king kicked the shadow porcupine away, and then ran towards Gaochang King City.

The porcupine king's kick was just to kick the shadow porcupine away, and it was not heavy.

Shadow Arrow Pig's complexion changed drastically, and he didn't care so much. He told the following: "The first team of guards will follow up. If the king is to blame, I will bear it all."

So, a hundred porcupine guards ran towards the porcupine king and followed.

"Captain, it's not good, there is a big pig running towards the city." A soldier said in shock.

The corporal leader's head was exposed in the city, and when he saw it, he said in surprise: "It seems to be the pig king, and all the bows and crossbows are ready."

The soldiers on the city wall quickly took out their bows and arrows and crossbows, but they were a step too late. The hundred arrow pigs guarding behind the porcupine king desperately fired horned arrows at the top of the city to cover the porcupine king. Thousands of people on the city wall His bow and crossbow were suppressed by the rushing shots of a hundred arrows.

But the porcupine king had already rushed to the city gate, but he didn't intend to stop at all, and directly "sprinted and charged", the porcupine following behind was shocked, and it was a step too late to stop it.

There was a loud cracking sound, and the entire city wall shook a few times at that moment.

The Shadow Porcupine saw that the Porcupine King had rushed directly into the city gate, but he immediately ordered: "The reserve team stays, and the rest of the troops are charged."

"No, let's go." Cao Zhuo was shocked, he didn't expect the city gate to be so fragile, he hurriedly dragged the hermit to the sky and ran towards the other side of the city wall.

The porcupine king also suffered some skin trauma when he broke through the city gate, and Xiliang soldiers immediately surrounded him, but after being hit by several porcupine kings, corpses were scattered all over the place, and the hundred-headed porcupine guards rushed into the city.

The corporal on the city wall saw this but couldn't give an order, and asked the soldiers to go down to help. After all, there were tens of thousands of arrows and stabbing pigs in the city, and they would definitely suffer losses in a head-on confrontation. .

As the porcupine king entered the city, the residents of the city also took up sticks, knives and forks to resist the porcupine. In an instant, fireworks were everywhere, houses collapsed, and the city was full of wailing and screaming.It seems that no one can resist it now, and the footsteps of the arrow are like a pig.

The corporal on the city wall gritted his teeth tightly, angry in his heart, the city is at stake. Why hasn't the general appeared yet?If there is no outer city, this place will be completely fallen.

"Report, report to the king, the arrow-pig has broken through the gate of the outer city and has come in." A soldier came in to report, and then retreated.

In the Gaochang Palace, King Gaochang is sitting on his high throne, stroking with his right hand a liger covered in golden fluff, but this liger is snuggling beside King Gaochang like a kitten.

King Gaochang said leisurely to the general in military uniform below: "Uncle, don't worry, we have more than 30 people in Xiliang Kingdom, it's time to die." Qu Zhou, the dead general of the Gaochang King Huangshu, and the rest of the dozen or so people were terrified.

One of the ministers seemed to be unable to help but came out and knelt on the ground and begged, "Your Majesty, the country is based on the people, so hurry up and send troops."

King Gaochang nodded with enjoyment and said: "The country is based on the people." Suddenly his right hand grabbed the liger's fluff hard, and the liger flew towards the minister kneeling on the ground.

No one could react, and when the liger fell to the ground, the unlucky minister had already become the liger's lunch, leaving only a pool of blood.

The reaction of the maids was much faster than that of the generals and ministers present, and the maids who seemed to have gotten used to it quickly wiped away the blood.

A few timid ministers were suddenly paralyzed and incontinent.

The lion and tiger continued to return to King Gaochang, like a kitten.

King Gaochang looked satisfied, as if he had seen a good performance just now, he stroked the liger's head and said, "Next time, remember to wipe your mouth clean, it will be full of blood."

"An ignorant minister knows that the country is based on the people, and he doesn't know the pressure of the widow. The people are going to make the country poor. What's the use of leaving so many people?" Then he said to the general Qu Zhou: " Uncle Huang, let's go out and get ready, four generals and eleven ministers have died for the country today."

After hearing King Gaochang's words, the generals and ministers present were shocked, and a chill rose from the soles of their feet.

Qu Zhou led the order and walked out of the palace tremblingly, and gave the generals and ministers present one last look with helplessness.

In the palace, the sound of crying father and mother erupted suddenly, and at the same time there was the sound of weapons unsheathed and cursing the faint king.

The Xiliang historian at the off-angle position of the palace quickly recorded this scene: On July 410, [-], the fifth year of Gaochang in the Xiliang Kingdom, hundreds of thousands of arrow-pigs suddenly appeared around the city of Gaochang to besiege the city; The two Yancai brothers resolutely led dozens of people under them to fight against the enemy's footsteps with blood and flesh when they broke through the city gate with arrows and pigs, and sacrificed their lives for the country;
The later general Zhou Tai led an elite army to attack the pig with arrows but failed, so he finally donated his life to the country;

The former general Qi Hu, who led the army to drive out the arrows and pigs in the city, died in the chaos;

The right minister Yao Shang, the left minister Jiang Meng, the civilian minister Fang Liang and other eleven ministers also died in the war to evacuate the Xiliang people;
The bones of the four generals and eleven ministers were all gone, and they were suspected of being eaten by pigs with arrows. King Gaochang was furious and the whole country was in grief.

All the generals and ministers are the pillars of the country, and they do not hesitate to donate their lives to the country. This move is lamentable, and future generations should learn from it. offspring.

The palace was finally clean. King Gaochang glanced at the dozens of maids who were cleaning, and said to Liger very calmly and concernedly: "Cat, are you full?"
