Binas fooled Salin, and the murderous intention in Salin's heart was only transformed by the strong heavenly magic. "As soon as the six undead kings are out of control, he will be in complete danger. wwW,QUAbEn-XIAoShUo,cOmIt's just that the Holy See's army is still there, and he wants to Rely on these three guys. Kill them now, it will be detrimental to the city's defense.
Salin led people to inspect the city, and was thankful that his teacher had given him the city design drawings. Without this Dante sequence, without the magic tower, there would be a thirty-meter-high city wall. It could not stop the attack of the Holy See army.
There are many magicians outside the city, and some of them are more powerful than the Black Butler and Black Bishop I have seen. BiGeneris may be even worse. However, Genares is a divine envoy, a level nine powerhouse, and his divine punishment technique can kill almost any opponent of the same level. If it weren't for the power of Rex's Shinra Ring, Genares would probably have the last laugh.
There are at least a dozen magicians outside the city, reaching the level of magicians.
It would be quite dangerous for so many magicians to fly above the city.
But there is a Dante sequence. All the buildings on the city's head form an element control sequence that is not a magic circle, but transcends the magic circle. If there is the support of the magic circle, it will be difficult to even fly within ten miles of the city wall.
Near the city wall, those magicians did not dare to approach. Salin thought for a while and said: "Send more barbarian archers, each equipped with twelve throwing axes. The enemy who can climb up may be in heavy armor or A dead soldier wearing several layers of armor.”
The enemy in the distance has no intention of dividing their troops to attack the northern city wall. The west wall is only eight miles wide. If they divide their troops, it will be difficult to gather effective strength. The Holy See's estimate was somewhat wrong. They thought they would face a front two miles wide. Salin estimated that the enemy would attack two to three points desperately instead of flanking the northwest sides.
When Salin saw the enemy under his nose, he became less nervous. At least part of his judgment was correct. The enemy did not have any large equipment. After losing a batch of trebuchets and carts at Duanren Pass, the expeditionary force cut down trees and made a batch of crude trebuchets. However, in order to increase the attack distance and avoid being easily destroyed by trebuchets in the city, this trebuchet was manufactured. It is very large, requires a long time to prepare, and cannot suppress the city.
The expeditionary force built about a hundred trebuchets. To operate this improvised thing made from huge trees, fifty soldiers and more than five horses were needed. Saleen did a simple calculation in his mind and knew that such a crude trebuchet could only fire once in half an hour, and it could not shoot shotguns. Because you can't control where it falls. It can only be regarded as a way to contain the soldiers in the city. The projectiles of this kind of trebuchet are also slow and cannot hit the swordsman at all. At most, they hit some auxiliary soldiers or unlucky swordsmen randomly.
When the soldiers at Broken Edge Pass retreated, they didn't leave much equipment behind. Salin saw hundreds of large crossbows and some small alchemy crossbows. The big crossbow is made by Qin Yin, but the alchemical crossbow is imitated by the magician. Its range is definitely not as good as the regular alchemical crossbow in Saleen's hand.
"Give each mage at the top of the city twelve scrolls of the third-level Fire Cloud Spell, twelve third-level scrolls of the Wind Blade Spell, and two second-level Acid Rain Spells. Well, each person will go to the temple to receive a third-level scroll. Scroll of Ice Cone Technique."
The third-level ice cone spell that Salin mentioned was actually a scroll he made himself. Its lethality is equivalent to that of third-level magic. But it can still be carried out by a first-level magician. He once used the compound ice cone technique to kill hundreds of people at a time, which can be said to be the most powerful low-level magic.
The level of the mages at the top of the city was not high. If it weren't for Metatrin City's special city wall that could protect these mages, Saleen wouldn't even dare to let them come up. However, the biggest problem for low-level mages is that they lack magic strings and have limited ability to release magic. So Saleen prepared a large number of scrolls, as well as diluted magic liquid, so that the low-level mage's mental power could persist in the long-term battle.
There are a large number of low-level magicians among the enemy's warriors, and low-level magicians from the mainland are also deployed on Salin's city. The two sides are evenly matched here. Saleen had the advantage. He had the walls of Metatrin City, and the enemy only had a few pitiful buildings and spliced ladders.
The battering ram was of little use against Metatrin City, as Saleen had enough magical trebuchets that could destroy the enemy's large equipment.
The enemy assembled the trebuchets at a distance of three miles. The trebuchets in the city did not wait for the enemy to complete the assembly before they began to attack. Huge rocks flew into the air towards the trebuchet skeleton in the distance. Saleen was well prepared, but he used an ordinary trebuchet instead of a magic trebuchet.
The number of these trebuchets is also very large, more than two hundred, and they are also improvised and originally prepared to deal with the enemy's infantry siege. As a result, Salin discovered that the enemy had built a hundred trebuchets, and the vertical scissors were used on them.
The first time was to correct the direction with more than thirty boulders. Then, the magician provided a more precise strike point. Thousands of barbarians controlled the trebuchet, drove the purchased monsters, pulled the winch, and shot the huge rocks. go out.
Immediately, more than thirty trebuchets were hit, and many of them were directly destroyed. After that, the last fifty trebuchets attacked more than ten trebuchets of the "Dog Expeditionary Force."
An all-round attack knocked out half of the expeditionary force's trebuchets. Archbishop Nicholas knew that relying on trebuchets to suppress the enemy would no longer work.
Originally, the Tanggulas people were not good at this, but all the real siege equipment was sent to the Garulan front line. The Pope did not expect to face such a city, so Nicholas faced such a dilemma. As a party attacking the city, long-range attacks are completely suppressed by the enemy, and you have to rely on the climbing ability of the soldiers to attack the city!
If anyone were to direct such an attack, there would be heavy casualties.
Salin simply returned to the main entrance to the west and watched the first offensive and defensive battle live. He himself is a sixth-level magician and is of great help to the city's defense. The soldiers on Salin's side also had to adapt to the enemy's first wave of attacks. Fortunately, both the 2nd and 6th Battalions had fought against the expeditionary force, so there would not be any panic.
Salin was personally in charge, and the morale of the soldiers increased to the extreme.
There is not only the role of Saleen, but also the role of Holy City. Qin Yin sent a million-strong army to counterattack the Holy See's main force in Garulan. This kind of information had long been disseminated by Salin. In Salin's Metatrin City, almost most of the residents were personally attracted. As long as the Holy Rock City did not If it is destroyed, they will not despair, let alone surrender.
Saleen's trebuchets were able to carry out the second round of attack within ten minutes. The enemy's trebuchets were obviously much slower. In the end, only a dozen trebuchets of the expeditionary force survived, shooting huge stones into the city. These stones have not even been polished and are difficult to roll after falling to the ground, so their lethality is limited. Even if he fell into the crowd, he wouldn't be able to kill many people.
This was not like Saleen's city, which was well prepared. Every stone bullet fired was oval. After landing, even if it missed the target, it would roll around in an arc. Many people were crushed to death and injured.
More than a dozen boulders actually flew more than three miles and fell into the city. One of the pieces hit a metal arrow tower, knocking it off a corner and falling to the ground. The surrounding soldiers quickly dodged away. Several auxiliary soldiers were frightened and were stunned, but they were saved by the swordsman next to them.
The remaining boulders hit the open space and rolled for more than ten meters before losing momentum.
Thousands of soldiers, under the cover of RVs, advanced towards the walls of Metatrin City. The magic trebuchet immediately became powerful and threw a huge number of magic stone bullets. These magic stone bullets are shot diagonally upward, relying entirely on downward impact. Spread out in mid-air and bombard downwards.
Suddenly, hundreds of RVs were destroyed by magic trebuchets, and the attacking infantry was too densely gathered, resulting in a mess of casualties. Those who were not injured were protected by the magicians around them. The magician retreated hastily. These low-level magicians can defend against fist-sized stone bullets, but they cannot face sharp bows and arrows.
This kind of magic stone bullet has no accuracy at all. It is designed purely for dense enemy formations.
The first impact was defeated by the magic trebuchet. Saleen narrowed his eyes and discovered the Holy See's biggest weakness. The Holy See's long-range attack capabilities are not as good as Qin Yin's, and all the techniques in Salin's hands were invented by Qin Yin. The Tanggulas' trebuchets, carts, etc. are not very effective. No wonder there were so many troops from the Holy See. They stayed in Galulan for more than a year before they gradually quelled the resistance of the local nobles. This type of attack comes at the cost of one's own casualties.
"Let the craftsmen work harder to make stone bullets, and everyone can use them." The number of arrows Salin stored is enough, and even if he shoots for half a year, they will not be completely consumed, but the number of stone bullets is not enough. Nowadays, although stone bullets do less damage, they are much safer than bows and arrows. Even when attacking with a crossbow, half of the soldier's head must be exposed, making it impossible to shoot from a safe place. However, if the enemy does not have the same equipment, the trebuchet can basically kill the enemy safely without considering its own damage.
Naniya suddenly said from behind: "Salin, don't do this."
"Okay, follow the original plan" but replenish the number of stone bullets as soon as possible. The enemy's main force is supported by high-level magicians, so this attack has little effect.
"Salin immediately changed his mind, but he knew clearly in his heart that Narnia was right. If he relied on trebuchets to suppress the enemy on a large scale, his soldiers would never have the experience and courage to fight the enemy in close combat.
Sure enough, the enemy immediately changed their attack method, dispersed the infantry, carried ladders, and rushed towards the city wall. Hundreds of steel arrow carts were pushed up, and they were also dispersed far away. They used hard crossbows to shoot at the city wall, hoping to suppress Mei. Archers in Tatlin City.
Without the protection of the RV, these soldiers had to brave the rain of arrows to attack. This was the real beginning of the offensive and defensive battle. At this time, the role of the trebuchet is not too great. A shot every ten minutes can only kill a small area. The enemy is scattered on a two-mile wide front to attack. Saleen's trebuchet does not yet have a magic tower. The cooperation was unable to be reasonably mobilized and it was too late to stop the enemy.
