Honglou, I became Jia Lian?Fortunately, there is a system!

Chapter 269

In Melbourne Town, Zhang Qing first quickly learned about the progress of the town's current defense, and then he personally took action to build the defense line with the townspeople.

I saw him take a few crotch steps back to his own three-story building in the center of the town not far away.

The house where Zhang Qing had lived for nearly a year was now empty, and he did not bring any other family members to Jiazhou, only two Silla maidservants who accompanied him.

At this time, the second daughter should have boarded the ship at the port. Although she is not even considered a concubine, she is still Zhang Qing's female family member, so this idea must be taken care of.

Zhang Qing stretched out his hand to explore, and the innate stellar energy that was as deep as the ocean surged out unreservedly, turning into a giant shovel and stabbing down the foundation of his house!
There was a sound of cracking rocks on the ground. Under the horrified eyes of others, Zhang Qing's giant shovel turned into a three-storey house with its foundation was dug out from the ground!

Then, before the huge building collapsed, Zhang Qing quickly moved it to the middle of the intersection in the northwest of the town, blocking it from the most fragile wooden gate on this side of the town.

At the same time, he continued to adjust the shape of the pile of building wreckage to make it steeper, so as not to form a gentle slope suitable for the tide of beasts to advance.

Although the town of Melbourne has been established for more than two years, due to the relatively comfortable environment in Lijiazhou in the past, the town of Melbourne only built a breast wall about 40 cm wide with bricks and stones at the outermost periphery of the town.

The exit of the parapet is a thick log gate, and there are no other defensive facilities such as the moat Haogou.

At this time, they were suddenly threatened by the tide of wild beasts, so they naturally seemed to be stretched.

In fact, the battle preparations made by the young and strong people in the town just now are to pile up a large number of objects to withstand the log gate of the town, find their own defensive position behind the parapet, and carry all the fighting supplies on their backs.

For example, there are more than three loaded flintlock muskets per capita, arrows, spears, and sharp spears and swords.

The emotions on these people's faces were tense and worried, but without exception, no one showed a look of frustration or panic, and they were all actively preparing for the battle.

Zhang Qing demolished his own house first, and naturally he would no longer be polite to other people's houses, especially those near the edge of the town.

He piled up a large number of building debris on the parapet, and also adjusted the angle slightly to make the side facing the outside as steep as possible.

After that, Zhang Qing quickly began to dig a wide and deep ditch under the parapet outside the town with the "Innate Gang Qi Shovel".

After finishing all this work, Zhang Qing sighed lowly when he saw the strange swarm of beasts that had appeared two miles to the northwest of the town.

That's all he can do for the time being. In the remaining time, he still has to work hard to adjust his breath. The dangerous aura he sensed just now in front of the tide of beasts is still in front of his eyes.

Don't be careless...

At this moment, several Houtian warriors and more than 700 young and strong people who were on full alert in the small town looked at the boundless pair of beast pupils covering the mountains and plains more than a mile away, emitting a bloody shimmer, and remained silent for a long time.

It's no wonder that Zhang Qing, as a congenital master martial artist, ordered a retreat without hesitation, and directly abandoned the site that the people of the town had worked so hard for for nearly three years.

How many beasts must this be?

Can they really survive today?

At least at this moment, no one knows the answer to this battle...

In this silence, the creepy and terrifying tide of beasts continued to walk a long distance at a walking pace.

It was really approaching within one mile of the town of Melbourne, and the few Houtian warriors in the town looked at the wild beasts that were honest, cunning or docile in the middle of the day, and they still couldn't believe it in their hearts.

Someone also rescued a pair of slow-moving "sloth" mother and child from the compacted dirt road leading to the outside world yesterday, avoiding their fate of being injured by a passing carriage or urchins.

But right now, that distorted expression, exposed fangs, fierce eyes and quick movements in the opposite herd, isn't it the sloth?
There are also those "boxers" with bloody eyes. The most common large animals in Jiazhou are relatively gentle most of the time on weekdays, although occasionally townspeople have been attacked by them.

But compared to these big guys who exude a dangerous atmosphere all over their bodies and are in a strange state, no one will say that they are dangerous in the past.

Just as everyone was amazed at the tide of beasts and the strange state of these members, a piercing sound like the roughest stone scraping against inferior glass suddenly appeared.

This ear-piercing sound was difficult to hear and even made people subconsciously feel uncomfortable, but what happened afterwards made everyone forcefully suppress this little discomfort.

The moment the sound appeared, the countless wild beasts all over the mountains and plains all opened their ferocious mouths and roared in unison!
"roar~"

"Squeak~"

Accompanied by some chaotic roars of huge beasts, the wild beasts charged desperately in the direction of Melbourne Town like a tidal wave!

"Prepare for two-stage shooting, let it go!"

Accompanied by an Houtian realm warrior who raised his arms and roared fiercely, all the young men in the first row behind their chests raised their guns and fired the first bullet of their flintlock rifles.

"Touch! Touch~"

Although the wild beasts were insane and their bodies looked several times more dangerous than usual, they were still mortal bodies, at least most of them hadn't reached the stage of transformation.

When they are shot by the hot bullets from the flintlock guns, they will still be broken, bleed, tear their bodies, fall to the ground and even die directly.

The sound of the first round of bullets fired by the townspeople was very neat. After the shooting, the townspeople withdrew their flintlock guns immediately, and began to reload rapidly while stepping back sideways.

The second musketeer waiting on the right side behind them quickly completed the replacement, and decisively fired the second shot with almost no need to aim.

At this time, the companion who backed up and loaded the bullet just now has completed the action in his hand, and also completed the positional alternation from the right rear of the companion who finished firing the gun, and fired!
The two before and after continued to cycle like this, and their shooting speed far exceeded the fastest record of bullets fired by the flintlock system in later generations!
It is said that the fastest firing record of a flintlock is only 1 rounds in 20 minute, but the townspeople in the small town of Melbourne have shot a crazy record of less than two seconds at this moment!

This is naturally due to the basic martial arts skills from Daqing. All the residents who immigrated to Melbourne Town, even the families of the vassals, have obtained a book of martial arts skills that can be practiced to the peak of the first level of martial arts.

It also depends on Jiazhou's unique natural resources. In this virgin land that has just been contacted and developed by human beings, there are many kinds of low-level elixir in the mountains and forests.

After living here for more than two years, most of the young and strong in Melbourne Town have already possessed a martial arts cultivation level above the sixth level of body forging.

The whole body has a strength of two to three hundred catties in one shock, and has long-lasting endurance, rough skin and thick flesh.

It's just that the lethality of cold weapons held by warriors at this stage is still far from that of hot weapons such as flintlock guns, so they still use flintlock guns in large quantities in their daily life in the wild.

It is also because of the frequent organization of training in the use of flintlock muskets and the physique that generally surpasses ordinary people, that they are now able to shoot dense barrage beyond the limit at this critical juncture!
They have almost completed the coverage of firepower in the northwest direction, the sound of musket fire is continuous, and the consumption of ammunition is not bad.It's a colonial town, and there aren't many other things. The hoarding of weapons and ammunition is by no means a minority.

It's just that with the passage of time, the flintlock guns in the hands of the townspeople have been replaced by a third one due to rapid heating.

At this time, the third musket in their hands was already heating up rapidly, but the first musket that was put down to cool still hadn't finished its natural cooling.

The covering firepower with sufficient density originally had a fault inevitably!

It was also at this time that "heavy armored infantry" appeared in the vanguard of the beast tide, which might be called heavy armored cavalry.

These "heavy armored cavalry" look a bit like the semi-large earth dragons raised by the sisters of the Jia family, but in fact they...at least they were Komodo dragons before!

A terrifying creature, the Komodo dragon is a species that has managed to survive since the age of the dinosaurs.

They are also a species that has evolved very successfully. These Komodo dragons are generally more than one foot long and have a layer of dark brown scales on their bodies.

Each scale of this layer of scales actually has a small piece of tough bone growing inside.

So the defense of the Komodo dragon is actually very strong. It is not the kind of large predator with an amazing bite force. Under normal circumstances, it cannot threaten them at all.

At this moment, it looks like more than 600 Komodo dragons who have been demonized. Under the keen command of the behind-the-scenes, they launched a strong attack when there was a slight fault in the firepower in the town of Melbourne!
There is a crisis!
The hilly Komodo dragons swayed their big tails that were almost as long as their bodies, and rushed towards them fiercely.

Behind them, there are thousands of slender and agile monkey creatures, the kind that have also been "demonized".

The townspeople who had been mechanically reloading and shooting saw these terrifying "heavy armored infantry" rushing in frantically, and subconsciously raised their loaded muskets and fired at the Komodo dragon. gun.

"bump!"

"嗞～"

In addition to the normal gunshots, there seemed to be an extremely subtle abnormal sound, which Zhang Qing, who had been paying attention to the battlefield, could see clearly.

The scorching bullet that almost missed the cheek of the Komodo dragon hit the animal's rounded shoulder.

But it was only a fist-sized oval piece of armor that was knocked off the scales on his shoulders, which can only be regarded as a flesh injury.

And more than [-]% of the shots from our side in this whole second fell on the charging Komodo dragons, but only a few of them achieved results.

These people were among the top gunmen in the town of Melbourne in the past, and without exception, they all successfully shot the bullets in the eyes of the charging Komodo dragons!

The scorching bullet pierced the Komodo dragon's fragile eyes, and penetrated hard into the brain behind the eyes, completely smashing the Komodo dragon's underdeveloped brain into a paste.

It's a pity that only five "demonized" Komodo dragons were killed. This amount is only a drop in the bucket.

At this time, the vanguard of the rioting demon beast tide had rushed into Melbourne Town within a distance of 200 meters under the strong leadership of the Kokudomonosaurus!

Zhang Qing's heart couldn't help sinking, even though there was a two-meter-deep trench he had just dug under the parapet, even though the parapet had been roughly reinforced by himself.

But he knew that these might still not be able to stop the more than 500 violent "heavy cavalry" in front of him, and Zhang Qing had to make a move.

Knowing that the opponent has the means to check and balance him, but still being forced to make a move, Zhang Qing's heart is not only helpless, but more aggrieved!
J?This guy is too crazy!
In the "Immortal World", I have swung swords and spears at the fourth-order legends, and even the fifth-order demigods. I am not a cat or a dog!
If you dare to underestimate Lao Tzu, let me show you what the [Jia Lian Legion]'s warriors who fought in the "immortal world" are!
I don't know if it was a tacit understanding, but at this moment, there happened to be an extremely penetrating eagle's howling sound in the sky!
Just when Zhang Qing heard the words, a joyful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, accompanied by a sudden gust of wind and the sound of wings beating the air, a huge monster appeared above his head.

This is a magical creature with the body and claws of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle--a frequent visitor to the Western Fantasy world as a flying unit, the Griffin!

The griffin has a bronze-colored feather and coat color, a lion-like rear body with yellow-brown animal hair, and an eagle-like head to forelegs covered with golden eagle feathers.

A pair of huge eagle wings have a wingspan of more than two feet, and the huge body is more than one foot in front and back. There is also a neat saddle on the back of the griffin.

Looking at the aura still blending with Zhang Qing within such a distance, one can roughly guess the identity of this griffin.

It is exactly the precious mount that Zhang Qing exchanged for most of his meritorious service in the "Game World", and he regards it as a family and brother-like existence!

This is also a third-tier gold-level combat power, but because the griffin is not good at night battles, Zhang Qing did not take the initiative to summon it before.

But at this moment, the town of Melbourne is indeed in a great crisis, and Zhang Qing can't care about that much for the time being.

I didn't see Zhang Qing bending his knees, but he just tapped his toes lightly, and the next moment he naturally appeared on the back of the griffin, as if he was there in the first place!
Riding on the mount, Zhang Qing stretched out his hand into the void, and with a sudden jerk of his elbow, a large spear more than two feet long appeared in his hand!
This is the weapon he used in the cavalry battle - the third-order blast gun!
It's too late, it's too soon.

Just when Zhang Qing got on his mount and took out his big gun, the group of Komodo dragons blatantly rushed to the area less than 50 meters away from the breast wall of Melbourne Town, seeing a tragic collision in front of them...

"The wind is blowing~ the clouds are flying!"

Zhang Qing and the griffon under his seat are doing their best to fight the big move, here it comes!
