"Each trebuchet machine adjusts its angle on its own, target the high platform opposite, five groups of continuous fire!" The knight commander on the Miracle Wall received the order at this time, and he shouted loudly.
All the trebuchet teams began to adjust their angles. These are professional trebuchet operators. Their almost daily job is to practice the trebuchet. It can be said that they are more flexible in mastering the trebuchet than their own bodies.
The sixty trebuchets were all adjusted in just thirty seconds. Huge round stones were loaded into the launcher. With the inertia brought by the weight on one side of the trebuchet, half of these A meter-diameter stone ball was thrown into the air.
The stone balls drew an arc in the air, hit the high platform heavily, some hit the empty space, and then rolled down the gentle slope of the high platform. The tauren in front held shields and did not flinch. They roared and used their Shield to ward off stone balls.
When one tauren fell, two tauren would stand on top. The huge impact of the stone ball also lost its impact after knocking down and crushing nearly ten tauren holding iron shields to death.
Some of the stone balls directly hit the tauren holding shields, causing even greater harm. Several tauren were turned into flesh and blood on the spot. After crushing several tauren to death, they were hit hard by orcs throwing stones. on board.
The orc trebuchet broke several giant trees due to the collision, and the entire orc trebuchet began to shake a little.
"Repair! Repair!" As a fox man behind the orc trebuchet shouted, a dozen orcs rushed forward and used wooden blocks and iron nails to re-reinforce the damaged orc trebuchet. machine.
At the same time, elite shield-wielding tauren came forward to take over the position of the dead tauren. The tauren's task was to protect the orc trebuchets and the fox-men.
You must know that the wood used in trebuchets has very strict requirements. Some are required to be hard, some are required to be flexible, and only large trees can be used to make timber.
The geographical location of the Orc Empire determines the scarcity of such large trees. These trebuchets cost a huge price. At the same time, because of the limited tree resources in the Empire, although manpower was used to reach the most dangerous place in the Budapest Mountains, Some wood was cut down in the mid- to high-level spirit beast area, but it was still far from enough for consumption.
In the end, the Orc Empire could only demolish all the wooden houses in several cities to solve the problem of wood.
Even so, the range of these trebuchets does not reach the range of human trebuchets. This is the helpless decision to place the trebuchets at 250 meters.
"No, if this continues, all our chances of throwing rocks will be destroyed. Hurry up and use the crossbow to suppress the Miracle Wall, raising smoke so that the opponent cannot aim!" General Gerald was very dissatisfied with the Minotaur's speed, but there was nothing he could do about it. , he looked at the tauren Carol and ordered.
"Yes, General!" The tauren Carol responded in a buzzing voice.
Soon, smoke was everywhere on the high platform, and the entire high platform was shrouded in the smoke. Although the human trebuchets also destroyed six orc trebuchets, the subsequent results were not many. Under the protection of the wolf smoke, they were not very accurate in the first place. The trebuchet's attack relies entirely on luck.
At this time, the tauren quickly rushed up to the high platform carrying the city crossbow. In order to know their position clearly in the smoke, these tauren have been trained for a long time.
Four powerful tauren can lift a city crossbow. Soon, forty city crossbows have been set up against the stone balls of human trebuchets, almost occupying the front end of the high platform.
As the smoke dissipated, the first thing the knight commander on the Miracle Wall saw was the flying crossbow arrows. He couldn't help shouting: "Pay attention to the crossbow arrows, fight back!"
The timing of the crossbow arrow flying from the high platform was just right. It was just when the smoke had just dispersed, and there was no preparation on the Miracle Wall.
This round of forty crossbow arrows caused damage to five crossbows on the Miracle Wall, two trebuchets were slightly damaged, and a dozen knights were injured.
In response to the orcs, countless crossbow arrows flew out, directly causing the death of hundreds of tauren and the loss of more than ten city crossbows.
There are still ten orcs' trebuchets that are intact. A group of foxmen are repairing the damaged trebuchets. At this time, the orcs' trebuchets are already in place and have begun throwing huge boulders towards the Miracle Wall.
The accuracy of the trebuchet is like winning a lottery. Both sides have to use the trebuchet to destroy the opponent's trebuchet. The stones used in the orc's trebuchet are not polished. Although it results in a stronger attack power, But it lacks sustained lethality.
At this time, the battle at the Miracle Wall has reached its most dangerous moment. The Tauren do not care about life and death. Once a Tauren dies in the front, there will be a Tauren from the rear to replenish them in time. If one of the city crossbows is destroyed, four more will immediately be killed. The powerful tauren sent the new crossbow to the high platform.
Between the high platform and the Miracle Wall, stones and stone balls were flying against each other, and crossbow arrows were constantly crisscrossing in the air. Knights fell from time to time, and city crossbows were destroyed. The battle on the orc high platform was even more fierce, and the tauren risked their lives. Protecting the trebuchet.
The long-range attack ability itself is weaker than that of humans, making the tauren a consumable item on the high platform. These most elite tauren are fighting with the well-equipped humans with their lives.
Just as the two sides were attacking each other, a red fireball flew out of the white tent in the center of the orc battlefield and exploded in the air.
After receiving the signal, tens of thousands of Peak Knights rushed out from both sides of the high platform. They held ladders and rushed towards the Miracle Wall.
These Peak Knights are all by-products of the countless Peak orcs, and the best among them have become the private armies of some high-level priests. But more often than not, the strength of the Peak Knights is not top-notch, but far beyond that of ordinary orcs.
Now these Peak Knights have become the second group of main force to attack the Miracle Wall. Until this time, except for the orc priests who used the lives of twenty black-robed priests to consume the energy of the Miracle Wall's defensive array, the most powerful spell-casting battles on both sides have The force has not been used yet.
The purpose of this second batch of Peak Knights is to test the limits of human Miracle Wall defense. As long as human wizards take action, the orcs will know where the limits of those knights' defenses are.
The mana of human wizards is limited. In this kind of war, the spells they can cast are limited. Now every time a spell is cast, there will be less attack power when facing the most powerful impact of the orcs.
The Peak Knights howled and rushed towards the Miracle Wall, with the corpses of their own race under their feet. They had never been so close to the top of the Miracle Wall. They were the orcs closest to the top of the Miracle Wall in thousands of years.
The ladder is made of bamboo, which is light and tough. The most important thing is that this kind of bamboo is produced in one place in the Orc Empire. Therefore, this bamboo ladder is not precious to the orcs and can become a consumable together with the Peak Knight.
"Attention, the orcs are attacking the city, shoot with bows and arrows!" the knight commander yelled.
Arrows flew down from the Miracle Wall, and Peak Knights continued to fall, but more Peak Knights rushed to the bottom of the Miracle Wall with arrows. They put up the ladders, abandoned their mounts, and started climbing up.
Every knight on the Miracle Wall is a formal knight, and they only need to defend for two hours at a time, so their fighting spirit is not sparing, especially at this time.
As the fighting spirit of the knights flickered, the firing speed of the bows and arrows increased, and no Peak knight could climb halfway without being killed by the arrows.
But the Peak Knights were still climbing up continuously. The human knights' repeated downward attacks also gave the opposite high platform more opportunities to attack, which caused the human knights' casualties to begin to increase.
The two human archers, Hector and Manuel, were already looking tired at this time. Although they were not required to string up arrows, each shot had to be carefully calculated. Both of them were already old. This kind of fighting It was still too intense for them.
However, the giant war city crossbows controlled by the two archers were still exerting terrifying attack power. With every attack here, some of the city crossbows would be damaged on the high platform 250 meters away.
The two of them caused more damage to the orc city crossbows than all other human city crossbows combined, but now their feet were trembling when they stepped on the triggering mechanism, and their heads were covered with sweat.
The knight commander also saw the state of the two archers, but at this time he did not dare to order the two archers to rest, because there were no rotating archers available on the human side. If there were no archers to suppress the opposite high platform, then whatever happened As the crossbows are constantly replenished on the opposite high platform, there will be no limit to the damage done to the Miracle Wall.
