(Sixth update)
The heavy stone struck an arc and hit a dark elf siege ladder, causing the latter to shake violently, as if it would break and collapse at any time, but the dark elf standing on the siege ladder The red-robed masters still gritted their teeth and withstood this attack. In the counterattack of the Rakshasa demon, the spiritual power of these dark elf red-robed masters had been overdrawn. Everyone was staggering tiredly, and it seemed that just a gentle If you push, you will fall down, but everyone is holding on with willpower, because as long as they are the first to hold on, all the soldiers on the platform of the siege ladder, as well as the soldiers below pushing the siege ladder, will have lost all their efforts. ,
Another big stone flew over. After hitting the defensive magic supported by the red-robed mages above the siege ladder, it was bounced away and rolled towards the side and back and continued to fly out. However, this time The hundreds of kilograms of boulders in front had not yet hit the ground, and the latter one hit them again. Such a high-intensity attack finally overwhelmed the dark elf red-robed mage who was desperately holding on. Their magic defense finally failed, and the one that broke through the defense The big stone hit the siege ladder body straight, and the latter immediately fell apart and collapsed.
Less than half of the hundreds of dark elves standing on the platform above the siege ladder were killed by the big stone on the spot. The remaining dozens of people had nowhere to stand after the siege ladder was broken under their feet, so they jumped from dozens of meters in the air. He fell down and fell into the crowd pushing the siege ladder forward. After the siege ladder was destroyed by the Rakshasa demon, the dark elves who pushed it immediately panicked, but they were quickly They regrouped and rushed towards the dark elf siege ladders in other directions. They either helped their companions to push the new siege ladder together, or they walked together in front of the siege ladder to clean up the stones on the ground and the damaged siege ladder. Ladder wreckage, continue to perform your duties,
After successfully destroying a siege ladder of the Dark Elves, a dozen catapults on the fortress switched their target to another siege ladder near it, and focused fire on this new target with their companions. Due to the sudden increase in the density of stones thrown by the Rakshasa demons, the target siege ladder immediately came under greater pressure, causing the dark elf red-robed mage responsible for protecting the siege ladder to consume mana several times faster. , they can't hold on any longer,
There was a rapid sound of friction in the air ahead. The red-robed mage standing on the siege ladder was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to wipe his sweat. He still had the mana to continue to release magic to protect the siege ladder at his feet. When he saw When several large rocks roared and hit their heads, these red-robed mages closed their eyes as if appointed. They knew that their fate would soon be exactly the same as that of the nearby trebuchet just now.
However, I don't know if it was because of the luck of this catapult. Originally, they were in a desperate situation with nowhere to escape. Any one of those big rocks hitting the siege ladder would destroy the target. However, because of Rakshasa The demon deliberately intensified its attack intensity, so that two large rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms actually collided in the air a few seconds before they were about to smash into the trebuchet.
A large stone weighing hundreds of kilograms fell from a mountain several kilometers away. The impact was naturally extraordinary. If it were an ordinary stone, it might be shattered on the spot, but the Rakshasa demon was in this fortress. I don’t know how many years of hard work it took, and the stone bullets prepared for the trebuchet were all hard stones. Therefore, none of the two big stones in the impact was shattered. Instead, they withstood the impact of the other party. As for changing the flight path, each of them slid down the side of the dark elf's siege ladder.
At this time, the entire siege ladder and the dark elves standing on the platform above were almost all safe and sound, but because of a violent impact not far above their heads, many people were directly pushed to the ground by the impact of the impact. , there were only a few unlucky guys standing on the edge, and one of them accidentally fell down. Before these people could stand up again, another big rock roared over. The platform could be filled with hundreds of people, and it was so big. It was dozens of square meters. As a result, when the rocks behind it fell down, about a third of the wooden boards were overturned, and all the dark elves sitting there were turned into corpses.
The frightened dark elf red-robed mage stood up with all his strength. They gritted their teeth and re-supported the new defensive magic, and loudly called on others to speed up the pace. Soon the siege ladder entered the Rakshasa demon trebuchet. Attack the blind spot. Unless the rocks thrown down from the top of the mountain can turn, they will no longer be able to hit the siege ladder.
The missing siege ladder was not abandoned by the dark elves and continued to be pushed. Moreover, because part of the upper part was smashed, its own weight was reduced a lot, plus other parts that were lost. The dark elf warriors diverted from the siege ladder made their advance faster and faster. At this time, the Rakshasa demon's arrow rain struck, and many dark elves who were lucky enough to escape just escaped were killed by arrows, but as long as When someone dies, new dark elves will rush forward regardless of their own safety. At the same time, more dark elf warriors will raise their shields to block the heads of their companions to defend against the seemingly endless arrows of the Rakshasa demon.
The farther forward, the greater the pressure the siege ladder will bear, because there are only one or two siege ladders that are lucky enough to reach an area less than 500 meters away from the fortress, so the Rakshasa demon will naturally attack The focus is placed on them, but once there is no trebuchet attack, arrows alone can only kill and injure the people on the siege ladder, and can hardly damage the siege ladder built with thick wooden piles. What kind of damage, and what the dark elves are least worried about right now is casualties.
Seeing that a large siege ladder was missing from the back of this aircraft and it was less than a hundred meters away from their fortress, the Rakshasa demon defenders finally panicked. They hurriedly turned around and knocked down several ballistas used to deal with threats in the sky. After aiming at the opposite target, it launches a spear with its tip covered with barbs. This special spear is similar in style to the weapons used by ordinary warriors. The most critical thing about it is that its diameter can reach up to two meters. With three adult arms, such a thick spear is entirely made of metal. Its weight can be imagined. Ordinary soldiers cannot pick it up at all. Only a set up ballista can launch it.
The sound of the spear fired by the ballista was even louder, and the whistling sound was shocking, just like the wail of the souls from the Nine Nether Hells. The dark elf siege ladder platform had originally erected a thick wooden board in front of it, but it was used by this one. The spear fired by the ballista directly penetrated a hole big enough for an adult to crawl in and out. Then the unexploded spear left a trail of blood among the crowd on the platform, blocking its flight path. All objects without exception were broken in half, and the platform immediately fell into a bloody hell.
Several more such spears were launched. This time the Rakshasa demon aimed at the support below the dark elf siege ladder. Just killing people would not solve the problem. As long as the dilapidated siege ladder was destroyed, Only the city ladder can eliminate the threat. The Rakshasa Demon can think of this. The dark elves have naturally taken precautions long ago. The thinnest wood used to build the siege ladder is as thick as an adult's waist, and the materials used are specially reinforced. Thick, even if part of it is destroyed, the remaining wood can still support it. In this case, there will be a disadvantage of excessive weight and slow progress, but as long as you are willing to use more hands to push, this disadvantage will no longer exist.
The bloody shooting of the Rakshasa demon did not scare away the determination of the dark elves to attack. Of course, they had already reached a position less than a hundred meters in front of the fortress. Even if they wanted to retreat, they would not be able to retreat. As long as they dared to turn around, not only the supervising team behind them would not be able to retreat. Maybe we should let such deserters go, but I am afraid that the dense arrows from the Rakshasa demon will kill this coward first.
Only a crash was heard. Thousands of people pushed the siege ladder and finally hit the stone wall. Then a large group of dark elves cheered in unison. It was the joy of completing the task. In this cheer, The dark elf warriors standing on the platform kicked down the barrier in front of them and connected the siege ladder under their feet with the fortress wall not far away. Then the dark elves who were about to rush to the opposite wall were greeted by a dense attack. arrow attack,
Previously, because of the thick baffle protection, arrows shot from the direction of the Rakshasa demon would hardly harm the dark elves behind the baffle. However, when the baffle was flattened, many unprotected dark elves on the platform were exposed. Almost in the blink of an eye, the elf's body was covered with arrows, and he fell from the platform towards the ground. However, although there were many dark elves who fell, there were more dark elves climbing up from below, attacking the city. When the ladder was built, it played the role of transporting troops to the opponent's city wall, so there were wooden ladders and ropes for climbing behind and on the sides. Thousands of dark elves gathered under the siege ladder used it. In this way, the tools began to attack the Rakshasa demon's fortress.
Because of the approach of the dark elf siege ladder, many Rakshasa demon warriors, led by their captains, passed through the passage from inside the fortress and entered the battlefield outside the city wall. They mainly concentrated in the three areas where the siege ladder was located, and began to fight with The Dark Elf warriors engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat. The Dark Elf had always been in a passive position from the beginning when they laid out their peripheral positions. Their own losses far exceeded that of the Rakshasa demon several times. Everyone had already simmered down their anger, and now they finally had something to lose. Having found such a channel for catharsis, he immediately erupted on the Rakshasa demon warrior blocking his way.
