Chapter 1530 The night is very long
"Okay, the door has been completely blocked." Xiao Zhan wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat on the ground so tired that he couldn't even whip away.
"It's completely blocked, right?" Lin Tao suddenly had an ominous premonition and asked weakly, checking the stones and wood of the fortress gate inside and out.
It was indeed completely blocked, and it was blocked motionless.
"Of course, you don't even look at who is commanding the project." Xiao Zhan looked like 20,000 or 80,000, and was proud.
"Then we can't get out either?" Lin Tao asked with a dark face.
"Uh...this." At that time, the cold sweat fell on Xiao Zhan's face. He had never considered this issue before.
Ma Long patted Xiao Zhan on the shoulder and smiled and smoothed the situation: "Okay, no matter what, we are safe now... Maybe after tonight, we can always find a way to get out from here. Moreover, we blocked ourselves in it more or less proved that we have done strong enough, which is a good thing."
Lin Tao sighed helplessly, and came to the third floor of the fortress alone, looking around through the window here.
The window here is not much the same as the windows on the first and second floors. The width of the window is wider and larger than the two floors below. I think it should be to facilitate the observation of the enemy's movements, and to launch an attack.
Although both the first and second floors have shā “re:n holes, through the iron pane, n-ǔ arrows can be fired outwards, although they do not have such things, they can also be replaced by bows and arrows.
However, this design structure also determines that the defense is strong enough, but its lethality is quite limited.
Only a large-width window of the third floor can be set up side by side with multiple n-ǔ arrows or bows, causing extensive damage to the invaders.
Looking into the distance from this window, I saw something moving in the endless wilderness. Each individual is not very large, but the number is quite terrifying, and it can be called an army.
Lin Tao's heart tightened and he immediately shouted. After hearing the news, the others rushed to the window. After seeing the things outside, they were so nervous that they almost forgot to breathe.
In addition to the twenty spears and twenty long swords they brought temporarily from the blacksmith, they also had fifteen rubber-wood bows and arrows, each with about seven or eight clusters of feather arrows.
But it is obvious that such few weapons are probably not enough to deal with the situation tonight.
Therefore, Lin Tao asked everyone to pay attention to finding suitable wood when everyone collected stones and trunks in the afternoon.
Such wood is not easy to find. There is a small border forest one kilometer away.
Tengguo's official and neighboring countries planted a column of trees here. These trees basically only act as borders between the two countries and have no practical effect. However, because of their age, they have almost become a material.
But it is quite difficult to find out the materials that can make feather arrows in such a pile of dead branches.
Or, there is no show at all.
In normal feather arrow production process, materials such as Takuki must be used. At the very least, bamboo is used as part of the arrow shaft to ensure that feather arrows will not be easily involved.
All Lin Tao and the others could find was this kind of dry poplar tree, and its characteristics were far inferior to the previous two materials.
The most important thing is that in order to ensure lethality and the strength of the feather arrow shot, an arrow, either iron or other metal material must be placed in front of the feather arrow.
On the one hand, this can increase the weight of the feather arrow, preventing the feather arrow from losing its correctness due to external factors such as wind after it is launched. On the other hand, it also increases the lethality invisibly.
But Lin Tao and the others do not allow it now.
Lin Tao did not intend to create large batches of arrows to use in just one afternoon.
He asked everyone to collect the trunks and stones as well as collecting similar wood. After returning to the fortress, he used the remaining time before dark to sharpen the front end of all the wood to serve as a temporary backup.
Lin Tao’s mind was that they didn’t know what the enemy was tonight.
Of course, it is best if nothing happened tonight. The "Moon Hope Night" is just a superstitious statement here.
But then again, it is just a superstitious statement that it is impossible for villagers to carry out such a large-scale migration.
The villagers are so afraid of the "Yuewang Night" which is sufficient evidence in itself, proving that the Yuewang Night is real, and that danger is real.
Lin Tao soon knew what the enemy was tonight, because their enemies were slowly approaching them, feeling like a large army was approaching.
Lin Tao stood at the window on the third floor and looked outside. He saw dense black shadows moving quickly under the cover of the night, making "rustling" footsteps, making his scalp numb.
Lin Tao raised his hand gently, and as soon as the group of black shadows entered the attack range, he immediately ordered an attack.
They first conducted a test shot, using homemade inferior arrows, with the purpose of observing whether the enemy will be affected by real damage. If such arrows cannot harm the enemy, then where is the problem?
At the same time, they will not shoot more, to preserve the few arrows left.
After the first round of arrow rain was released, the footsteps of the attacking group of black shadows on the opposite side stayed for a short time. Lin Tao pricked up his ears and listened with fear. When he thought the enemy had been shocked by their arrow rain, he suddenly found that the group of black shadows did not stop, but ran even more rapidly.
The enemy broke through the first line of defense and rushed towards the second line of defense.
The second line of defense is composed of sharpened wooden fences. The tail end of the wooden fence is in a spike state. It is facing the direction of the invader. A few black shadows caught him off guard and hit the wooden fence directly. Without struggling for a few seconds, they stopped moving immediately.
These monsters can be killed, which instantly increased Lin Tao and the others' confidence. They saw that their homemade arrows did not hurt the enemy and had no effect. They originally thought that these things would not be able to enter, but now it seems that the power of their bows and arrows is too small, and due to the distance, they cannot exert their due power at all.
In fact, the monsters are about three or five hundred feet apart. Needless to mention, these monsters, even a group of people wearing armor, such arrows are difficult to penetrate.
Lin Tao borrowed a longbow from a companion. There was a brazier in the middle of the third floor. The flames were burning. Lin Tao wrapped a circle of rags stained with oil on the arrow. After igniting it with the fire, he aimed at the wooden fence in the second room.
Below the wooden fence are piles of hay with a layer of kerosene poured on it, which were discovered by Lin Tao and others in the fortress.
After the rocket was launched, the wooden fence instantly burned, and the fire spread little by little, instantly illuminating the vicinity of the fortress and the sky was red.
This also allowed Lin Tao and the others to see the real faces of these monsters clearly. This is not a monster, it is clearly a group of people!
However, it seems not an exaggeration to say that such a group of "people" are monsters. Because although these things still retain the general appearance of humans, they can be clearly seen that their spirits have become abnormal.
Almost all the clothes on their bodies have rotted, or they simply don’t wear clothes, but simply cover their bodies with straw ropes, linens and other things.
Their faces are also very different from those of humans. Their faces are particularly pale and their eyes are exaggerated. They are simply humans after a mutated one.
After seeing the fire, these monsters made a "woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-wo
The fire temporarily blocked the attack of the group of monsters, but they had no intention of retreating. They stood in front of the fire, staring at the fortress with dull eyes, looking at Lin Tao and others behind the fortress. Lin Tao shivered all over.
There is only so much hay in total and there is only so much wooden fence in total, and there will be a time when it will burn it out.
After the flames gradually burned out, the group of monsters slowly moved towards the fortress again.
And this time, Lin Tao and the others no longer have any defensive fronts. They want to fight with these monsters with real swords and act really hard.
The first wave of monsters rushed up quickly, except for the "rustling" sound of people's dense footsteps, there was no sound.
Lin Tao raised his arm gently and took a deep breath: "All spears are ready."
Everyone silently raised their spears and handed them out of the window, holding their breath one by one, making them terrible and quiet.
"Thorn!" About ten spears were stabbed out together.
"Puff puff puff!"
A terrifying thing happened. After the monsters were stabbed by spears, they did not fall down immediately, but continued to attack the fortress.
The outer periphery of the fortress is full of hard stones and iron bars, and those monsters cannot break through.
But they soon noticed that the highest level of the fortress was open and separated by no iron bars.
They made a whimpering sound, and the monster in front squatted down spontaneously, the monster behind climbed on the people in front, and then climbed on the shoulders of the people in front.
"They are stacking arhats, and they want to climb up onto the top with a human ladder!"
The guards on the first and second floors made terrified screams, but soon the windows on the two floors below were blocked by the monsters.
No matter how Lin Tao and the others sting with spears or long swords, they could not repel the human-sea tactics of these monsters.
Soon, the monsters' ladders were getting taller and taller. The arm of the tallest monster had already touched the window on the third floor and had to climb in along the window.
Lin Tao slapped his hand suddenly, but every time he slapped one, two of his hands climbed up again, and went one after another, with no end at all.
Lin Tao's forehead was sweating and his body was wet with sweat. It was all cold sweat caused by fright and nervousness!
In desperation, Lin Tao pulled out the totem sword given to him by the old woman, ran out of the window, and slashed at a monster that was grabbing his ankle.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a few ignitions in the distance, and a strange team rushed to the dark.
The group of monsters saw the fire, twitched their noses one by one, and immediately asked about the smell of people, and the number was much larger than that of Lin Tao and the others.
This greater temptation made this group of monsters temporarily give up Lin Tao and chase the team wildly.
