Chapter 1677 Siege Weapon
The battle was very stalemate. The Midgart army outside the city relied on the advantage of all cavalry to come and go like the wind, trying to break up the opponent's formation. Black Knight Volo saw through this plot and took advantage of it cleverly, which actually affected the movement of the Midgard cavalry. Unconsciously, his army was not in chaos, but Midgard's cavalry was scattered on the loess slopes with crisscrossed ravines.
Standing at the corner of the city wall and looking out, Jean Recher noticed that the execution ability of his own army was not as high as that of his opponent's. There were clearly more of his own troops, but instead they were surrounded and killed one by one by the opponent's troops. He immediately asked the signal soldiers to give a retreat signal, and at the same time sent the rescue troops out of the city, rushed back the enemy, and led the troops back to the city.
Seeing the enemy's retreat, Calasias ordered the generals and officers such as Black Knight Vog and Flame Swordsman Kate to stop the pursuit. At the same time, he sent a special force of 800 people led by Predator Rose to cross the river and demolish the enemy. Uncover hidden traps and magic mines under the city walls.
This force is trained by a department under the Zhan Zhan Academy and is responsible for breaking down city defense traps, erecting bridges and paving roads. Even their guardian monsters are specially issued to complete such tasks. The army marched to attack the city and clear the obstacles. The guardian monsters among them include the ground bug that bit the flame swordsman Keton just now.
Groundworms are fourth-level monsters that can often be seen in deserts and desert edge areas, and occasionally in other areas of the south. This beast is good at both earth and fire elements. An adult burdock is generally 1 foot in diameter, about 4 to 5 feet long, and weighs 200 pounds (why is it written in pounds? About 90 kilograms.) It is not afraid of high flame temperatures, and flame temperatures below 4050°C cannot cause damage to it. To this extent, he is almost immune to fire magic. They feed on golden corpses or rotting corpses, so they are very suitable for eliminating some underground mechanisms. But they also have a weakness, that is, they are afraid of ice.
The ground bugs chewed up the flap mechanisms underground and destroyed the magic mines that exploded and produced high-temperature flames, while the soldiers used corresponding tools and monsters on the ground to clear out other traps. Because the northern city wall was suppressed by the Demonic Rock Thousand-Crack Cannon, the Midgard army knew that the enemy was lingering within one or two kilometers of the city, but they did not dare to risk the scattering of the Demonic Rock Thousand-Crack Cannon by going up to the city wall to cast spells and fire arrows.
The trap wall far away from the wall was almost demolished, and those close to the wall were directly destroyed with magic and violence. At this time, a giant beast carrying a hurricane horn also crossed the river.
Calasias stood on the corner and came together. Rose's troops in front immediately returned some people and lowered the hurricane corner and set it up. Due to the lack of shields among the soldiers, not all soldiers can jump up such a high city wall. Many of them have not even learned how to air step, and those who can are not skilled enough. What's more, when capturing a real large fortress in the future, the hurricane horn will be an indispensable tool. Practicing it here will also allow soldiers to master this tool more skillfully.
"They... they are going to attack the city~!" On the city wall, some officers risked their lives to come up to observe the enemy's situation. In fact, the watchtower further away had already seen the collision angle erected.
Two sky fireballs fell from the sky and exploded not far from Jean Recher. He was injured by the fireballs and shouted loudly: "Quick, go up to the city wall to stop them. We must not let them break through the city gate." Although this is just a matter of time. He could only delay time. The enemy would come in sooner or later, but he hoped to delay it for a while.
The garrison officer pulled him back to a safer place and said: "No, General, the magic rock cannon on the city wall has basically been destroyed. Their collision angle was too far, and our mage cast a spell It’s not that far away.”
Leiche pointed to the East City and West City: “What about other city walls? There are other walls on other cities. "Magic rock cannon."
The garrison officer shook his head sadly and said, "It's useless. The magic rock cannon is too heavy and the distance is too far. It will take time to move it. Even if it does, it will be destroyed by them immediately. Their magic rock cannons are so powerful.”
With a salvo of more than a dozen magic rock thousand crack cannons, more than two hundred magic energy light cannons were scattered. Huangtu City is only a city of seven or eight kilometers wide, not very big. The city wall on the north side can be completely covered by the Magic Rock Thousand Crack Cannon.
At the same moment, a woman with long red hair wearing a green leather jacket, knee pads, and carrying a long knife was walking in this battle-torn city. Such attire is too common on the streets. In this city where everyone is in danger, everyone who is preparing to flee carries weapons with them to prevent others from robbing them.
This woman whistled and wandered freely on the street, touching the handle of the knife behind her head from time to time and looking around. This was completely different from the nervous residents.
The overall buildings in the city are not high. The two largest buildings are the city hall in the city and the other in the north of the city dedicated to the gods. In addition, there are several light towers standing high in the city. At this time, construction engineers are stepping up maintenance and repairing the parts damaged by the skyfire trebuchet.
The woman in green passed under the Guangji Tower. At the corner, she saw an old man with a cane and was almost frightened by the bricks falling from the tower. She quickly stepped forward to give him a hand. The old man thanked him repeatedly, picked up the baggage on his shoulders, and was about to leave this place with a pet monkey. However, the woman in green pulled him and asked: "Old sir, could you please tell me where the nearby hospital is?" ?”
The old man pointed his finger and left quickly. The woman in green found several hospitals according to the old man's instructions. There are large hospitals that already exist, and there are also temporary field hospitals built by temporarily expropriating civilian houses. Wounded soldiers from the front are constantly being brought in. The hospitals are already full of people, and many who cannot be treated can only lie on the roadside.
A senior officer came out of the military medical tent, walking slowly and seriously injured. She was the cavalry deputy general of the First Army of Wang Banner. She was seriously injured in the previous battle and had to retreat to the second line for treatment. The doctor told her to rest peacefully and not to exercise strenuously, but with the current war situation, saying she should rest peacefully was just a perfunctory word.
But she really needed a good rest. Several bones were broken, there was a wound from the left back to the right armpit, and her leg was also injured. If she hadn't been the general of the Royal Banner Guard beside the Queen and protected by a good pair of armor, her life would have been lost outside the city. The accommodation arranged for the Wang Banner Guards was in several small hotels on the two streets behind the city hall and a nearby requisitioned apartment. She dragged her injured leg and walked there step by step, hoping to stop a carriage and take her there. But the people on the street were only focused on running for their lives, so they couldn't care less about her. She thought that the residents nearby were hiding and running away, and ten of the houses were empty. She didn't need to walk so far, she could just find a place to rest for a while. I don’t know how long Huangtu City can hold on and how long it can rest and recover.
She slowly walked into a nearby alley, looking for an empty house to hide for a while. A woman in green clothes appeared a few meters behind her. The female deputy general was still vigilant. She noticed the strange movement behind her and turned around suddenly: "You..."
The word 'you' was still in her mouth, and the woman in green clothes was already stepping on the walls on both sides, briskly A few steps up and down, a knife, the head fell to the ground.
Assassinate Ben, the sharp knife, returned the knife to the scabbard behind his back, turned around and left.
A pool of blood flowed from the neck of the deputy general of Wang Banner's First Army and he lay on the ground. The unguarded monster nearby tore out the space of life. Her guardian had been killed in the battle outside the city, and even if she had, Ben would not stay even one step longer after leaving. If it loses the protection of its master, it will most likely run away.
Any senior officer who is injured after coming out of the hospital will become the prey of the assassin Ben. As long as there is no one nearby, he will become the target of her assassination. In less than half an hour, five senior officers had already died under her knife. At this time, there was a shock from the north of the city.
......
It took more than 40 minutes to set up the hurricane horn. During this period, the Midgard army tried to go out and fight again several times, but they were all blocked by strong artillery fire and enemy formations. The momentum was deterred. The magician injects magic power into the back end of the collision angle bracket to activate the magic array and magic crystal on it. The thick collision angle is wrapped with a layer of high-speed rotating wind, and then the mechanism card slot in front is pulled out under manual control. The powerful impact horn flew out in a rapid spiral, instantly breaking through the city gate and flying into the city. The power of the impact horn did not diminish, and it destroyed many houses, and a strong wind blast burst out!
The breaking of the city gate was the clarion call for the attack, because the traps near the city gate had been cleared before, and the troops marched straight in towards the city gate.
“We can’t let them attack the city, stop them!” Hus, Hu Sang, and many other troops gathered from various border passes came to the city gate and saw the enemy rushing in. He also rushed over, and immediately there was a bloodthirsty fight.
Calasias’s army could not leap onto the city wall’s gate, and the aerial cavalry that could fly onto the city wall rushed directly into the city. Because our own soldiers invaded the city, the Demonic Rock Thousand-Crack Cannon had to stop firing. After such a long period of use, several Thousand-Crack Cannons had serious malfunctions and required major repairs.
The Battle of Loess City finally came from outside the city to the inside. The Midgard army was unwilling to give up. Their territory was small, and if they retreated, they would only be left with the royal city and the capital, which could not be defended. This is their last barrier to stop the 'pirates' from invading eastward. Calasias personally joined the battle for Loess City, killing everyone with his guardian black beast, and the surrounding soldiers were unable to take a single move from him. Then, although the soldiers of Midgard were frightened, they had the courage to not back down.
Beheading a Kubak red rhinoceros with the magic knife in his hand, Calasias took the lead and looked around at the group of enemies: "As expected of Jean Recher, who has studied with me in Santa Vicoia for many years. , the soldiers brought out by his subordinates are not too useless.”
"Are you talking about me? Calasias!" The two armies faced each other, and the generals met. Who else could stop Calasias besides Reche? Jean Recher, wearing a blue armor, whirled down from the air and landed in front of Calasias. He had thick folded shoulder pads and a sword in his hand: "We haven't seen each other for many years, but today you and I are fighting against each other here."
"In San Vicoia, I have only met you twice, and we are not very familiar with each other. I will show no mercy in life or death." Calasias moved his body, moved his knife, and the blades collided with each other. A fight to the death without mercy.
Leiqie connected with a few moves, stepped back step by step, and said to the soldiers and officers around him who wanted to intervene: "Go away, this is not your battle, stop others."
Count again. After the attack, Calasias forced him away with a knife: "The strength of a true knight, the high-level fighting spirit, Meade The first general of Gart, your reputation is hard to live up to. Your strength is worse than I expected."
Raiche stopped: "Midgart's army is not strong individually, but. Strength comes from unity." The power of the imitating water element surged around his body, and the lightning anaconda behind him emitted thunder and lightning attached to his armor. The power of thunder and water doubled, and the saber continued to attack quickly. Two more generals who had retreated from the border gate joined the battle. They fought with Calasias until the dust was flying and electric sparks were flying.
