Rebirth of the Strongest Seventh Prince
Chapter 157: The Fall of Juegu Pass 2
It was already afternoon, the sky was gray and the gloomy air seemed to foreshadow the coming storm.
Shrouded in heavy dark clouds, the entire Juegu Pass looked unusually small, as if filled with a sense of desolation. The dark sky made the mood of the soldiers defending the city gloomy as well.
Suddenly, a blinding flash of lightning pierced through the dark clouds, and the fangs of lightning pierced the hill in front of Juegu Pass. At that moment, all the human defenders on the walls of Juegu Pass saw a daytime nightmare below. The ground was crowded with black figures, some short and fat, some tall and strong, wearing black armor and black shields, and tens of thousands of enemies kept pouring through the trenches. Lightning rolled in the valley, and heavy rain fell mercilessly.
"The demons are attacking—" A series of hoarse shouts were heard at Juegu Pass.
Like a heavy rain, dense arrows were aimed at the city wall. Although most of them were blocked by the solid city wall, many of them passed through the city wall and pierced the chests of human soldiers. The demons had already launched their attack on Juegu Pass, and the offensive was so fast. Just as the general Lei Ao, who was guarding the pass, hurried over and was about to order the magic cannon troops to bombard, the demon army stopped.
"Hoo, ho, ho"
Below the city wall, the dark army of demons stretched as far as the eye could see, and they all roared towards Juegu Pass. At this time, the demon army was still some distance away from the bombardment range of Juegu Pass's magic cannons, so Lei Ao did not order an attack.
On the city wall, the human soldiers looked at the endless black army of demons below and couldn't help swallowing their saliva, their bodies trembling slightly.
Under the gaze of the soldiers of Juegu Pass, a demon soldier slowly walked out from the demon army. He ignored the heavy arrows and cannons above Juegu Pass, swaggered to a large rock below Juegu Pass, and arrogantly shouted at Juegu Pass: "Listen, humans up there, our commander said, if you are smart and surrender, we demons will not make things difficult for you, you can all come to our abyss as guests, if you dare to say no, we don't mind massacring Juegu Pass!"
The arrogant words of the demon soldiers immediately made the soldiers of Juegu Pass surge with anger. If looks could kill, the demon soldiers would have died countless times.
"Bring me the bow and arrows!"
The general guarding the gate took the bow and arrow from the soldier beside him, infused his fighting spirit into the arrow, aimed at the demon soldier's head, and with a "whoosh", the arrow flew out with a flowing arc, accurately hitting the iron military cap on the demon soldier's head.
"Go back and tell your commander that we humans have never been afraid of war. Tell him to come at us. We will let him know that we humans are stronger than you demons, not weaker!"
"Okay—" The morale of the human soldiers increased upon hearing this.
"Good! Good! Good!" Behind the demon army, Ye Lan laughed loudly and then waved his hand.
A shrill horn sounded, and under the horrified gaze of the human soldiers, huge catapults were pushed forward from the rear of the demon army. These catapults were five times the size of human catapults, not to mention the range of projection.
"attack--"
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
The demon army shouted in unison, and the huge catapults began to open their ferocious eyes. Huge boulders weighing thousands of pounds were thrown high up by the huge force and smashed towards the walls of Juegu Pass. At the same time, the demon army's giant crossbow army also fired a sky full of crossbow arrows, densely shooting towards Juegu Pass. Under the cover of the sky full of boulders and crossbow arrows, the soldiers on the wall could hardly raise their heads.
"Ah!" "Ah!"
Although most of the human soldiers were crouching under the city wall, there were still many soldiers who were unlucky and were hit by the huge rocks, with blood splattered everywhere.
The shrill horn sounds continued, and the demon infantry began to charge. Thousands of demon soldiers rushed forward waving their weapons, aiming directly at the gate of Juegu Pass.
The soldiers on the city wall were pinned down by the demons' catapults and crossbows and could not even raise their heads. However, Juegu Pass had more than just this little defensive power. Before the demon infantry approached the city wall, a red light suddenly shone from the dark battlements halfway up the wall. Then, under the horrified gaze of the demon soldiers, blazing fireballs fell from the sky and smashed down on the demon infantry who were charging forward.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The demon infantrymen who were rushing in the front were immediately blown into pieces, leaving no trace of their bodies. The demon infantrymen behind them screamed and rushed towards the gate even more violently when they saw their companions died.
As the demon infantry got closer and closer to the gate, some soldiers finally discovered what they were holding in their hands.
"Shoot them quickly, these demons are holding fire bombs, shoot quickly, don't let them get close to the door!"
Halfway up the city wall, some small gates appeared in some remote places. Human archers hurried out of them, holding bows and arrows, and shot thousands of arrows at the demon infantry who were rushing to close the gates.
"whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"
"Ah" "Ah"
Most of the demon infantry were killed instantly by the rain of arrows, but a small number still rushed to the gate and ignited the fire bombs.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The place where the gate was located suddenly turned into a sea of fire. When the demon army thought that the gate had been blown open and was about to rush into Juegu Pass, they found that in the sea of fire, the iron gate was still standing tall and blocking the way ahead.
"Hahaha, you ugly demons, do you really think that a small fire bomb can do anything to our closed gate? You are overestimating your own abilities!"
There was laughter at Juegu Pass, and the demon soldiers were all furious.
Humans had the upper hand in the first round, and the demons' catapults and crossbows stopped attacking. The soldiers on the city wall were finally able to raise their heads.
Behind the demon army, Ye Lan smiled, not seeming to care about the failure at all. He chuckled and said, "Interesting, interesting. Ye Kong, prepare to act and let these stupid humans know that in the face of absolute power, no matter how strong their walls are, they will be vulnerable!"
"Yes"
The morale of the soldiers was boosted after the demons' first round of offensive conspiracy was successfully thwarted. However, the general Lei Ao, who was guarding the pass, suddenly felt extremely uneasy.
Sure enough, before the soldiers could be happy for long, a hoarse cry was heard from the eastern city wall.
"The fallen angels are coming again—"
