"Boom!"
A huge fireball burning with thick flames fell from the sky and landed in the city of Bailanco. Suddenly, I saw the huge stone ball carrying fierce flames, setting off huge smoke and dust in the city, and the flames quickly began to spread.
The huge stone ball rolled down, and several orcs who could not escape were immediately crushed into meat paste. The stone ball stained with kerosene immediately ignited a raging fire, igniting the nearby area. Many people were directly burned by the kerosene. After splashing, it directly turned into a burning man, who was burned to death while screaming and struggling. At the same time, many people on both sides rushed out and started to put out the fire.
As the flaming stone balls fell, fireballs continued to appear in the sky and fell into the city one by one. Following the source of the fireballs and tracing them back to the outside of the city, one could see a whole row of catapults continuously operating. Continuously surrender the flame stone balls on the city wall and inside the city.
Outside the city, there is a large army of orcs standing densely packed. Under the sun, the armor reflects the light. At a glance, it seems that there is no end in sight. When the number of people is tens of thousands, it seems to be boundless, especially There were 50,000 troops lined up in the distance, and they saw the army approaching Bolanco stretching all the way to the back along the hillside, with more behind them.
There were many spears and shields standing, and everyone stared at the city of Bailanco. As the catapults continued to bombard the city of Bailanco, everyone could feel the momentum of a black cloud that was overwhelming them, making them unable to lift. Get started.
This kind of war weapon emerged not long ago in the human kingdom. It is said that the origin can be traced back to humans. The first large-scale war that appeared was in the orc kingdom. Verdanti was competing with the mad king Raymond Gayton Nalando for the throne. During the battle.
With the support of the Church of the Sun, Verdanti obtained the design drawings of the catapult and recruited a large number of craftsmen to start manufacturing it. With this ability, she was invincible in the subsequent siege of cities and territories, forcing Raymond Gaiton to surrender and give up Eunuch. King Guido's throne.
After that, everyone finally realized the power of this catapult. As a result, many nearby kingdoms began to purchase such catapults from the human kingdom.
These orcs from the southern border of Engido actually brought a large number of catapults and bombarded the city of Bailanco. Fortunately, Bailanco City was a war fortress. It had gone through hundreds of years of war and was able to guard the key points. , so the city wall is built high and large, and it is definitely not easy to blast open.
Moreover, the city wall is not built in the traditional square or circular shape, but in the shape of a five-pointed star. In this way, no matter whether the opponent attacks the city from any direction, they can attack and shoot at it, and the wall is also stronger. This is It was a true war fortress, and it was precisely because of this that Wolf Tu had a slight degree of confidence in guarding the city with the help of three thousand knights, miscellaneous soldiers in the city, and the personnel who had just been mobilized.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!"
Wolf Tu shuttled through the tunnels between the city walls. He was wearing a purple sun-patterned robe outside his chainmail, which represented his identity as a Templar. As he passed by, soldiers and archers around him quickly They stood up and saluted to Lang Tu. Lang Tu nodded slightly, and the sound of catapults bombarding the city and the city walls continued to be heard in their ears. The generals who were following them immediately lost their composure.
"Sir, should we use our catapults to fight back? This can disrupt their rhythm and maybe even destroy their catapults!" A young dog tribe general wearing chainmail followed with a long sword. Behind Lang Tu, he couldn't help but speak.
Wolf Tu climbed to the top of the city and looked at the opponent's army. The dense mass of black heads displayed in front of him was so shocking that it was enough to scare anyone who had never been on the battlefield to their knees, not to mention that there were still people above their heads from time to time. There were fireballs flying by, and even many soldiers huddled in the corner and shivered.
At this time, a stone ball directly hit the nearby city wall. Suddenly, the entire wall shook violently, and everyone felt that they could not stand on their feet.
Langtu pulled the dogman general aside and patted his shoulder: "It's not yet time, they are just testing it now. Their catapult is a large catapult that can reach two hundred meters, while ours is only a medium-sized catapult." The car can only be thrown a hundred and thirty meters at most, and if you look at the wind speed and direction, it is in their favor now, and we are in the headwind."
"We are fighting back at this time, just in line with their strategy. If they find the direction of our catapult, they will immediately destroy our catapult. At that time, we really have no way to deal with it." Wolf Tu followed Verdanti to fight Having experienced the battle for the throne, he has a very accurate grasp of the advantages and disadvantages of catapults on the battlefield.
The constant bombardment of catapults greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers in the city and on the city walls, while Langtu kept running on the city walls, encouraging these soldiers and giving them courage.
Sure enough, after a round of suppression tests, the opponent immediately launched an siege. The dark soldiers pushed and carried various siege equipment and began to rush towards the city wall. Human beings have a way of attacking cities. These orcs in the Kingdom of Menkaure After its demise, everyone slowly began to absorb it, which also caused huge changes in the offensive, defensive and tactical strategies of the war.
At this time, the catapults in the city immediately began to counterattack. The three thousand knights brought by Langtu were all elite soldiers who had gone through the battle for the throne, and among them were soldiers who could assemble and control the catapults.
The accuracy of the catapult was not high, but they grasped the time and distance of the opponent very well. Compared with the opponent, they controlled the distance, wind direction and customs more accurately. After a few rounds, they immediately saw a wave of people tumbling on their backs outside the city.
After several rounds of testing, the opponent thought that there were no catapults in the city. The sudden launch at this time left the opponent without any precautions. A large number of troops were bombarded by boulders and rolled over. The blood stained the city. Many of the siege troops were pushed forward. The chariots and siege ladders were destroyed one after another, leaving the opponent disoriented.
However, the opponent had a full force of 50,000 troops, and they still piled up and drove up the siege ladder towards the top of the city. The battle suddenly became stalemate.
Rolling stones and wood were thrown at the enemy's head one by one, kerosene and boiling water kept pouring down, and the orc soldiers screamed and fell from the ladder.
The archers on the city kept shooting down, but the opponent still continued to surge up to the top of the city regardless of life and death, impacting the city of Bailanco like a stormy sea.
Under the city head, corpses kept accumulating, forming a thick layer. Many people had already begun to rush to the city head and started fighting for the city wall, while the soldiers on the city wall beat them down one after another. .
Lang Tu took the lead, holding up his temple sword, emitting dazzling white light, leading his men to shuttle over the city, knocking down the opponent continuously.
Templars and priests both receive the inheritance of magical seeds. However, unlike priests, they strengthen their physical bodies. Templars strengthen their weapons, turning them into deified metal cells bit by bit, so that they can master the name. It is the power of fighting spirit, but fundamentally it is the same as the Priest's Holy Light Judgment, but with different emphasis.
There were fighting everywhere on the city wall, and the soldiers of the other side were still climbing up. There were sounds of fighting everywhere, and people were dying every moment. The smell of blood was so strong that it made people feel sick.
Wolf Tu was covered in blood. After stabbing and pushing a bear tribe orc holding a sledgehammer to death, he finally saw that the opponent was beginning to retreat. But Lang Tu knew that this was just the first wave of a war of attrition, and that the opponent would continue to do so. Attacking the city, and what he promised to his monarch was to defend Blanco for ten days. He knew that this would be an extremely brutal battle to defend the city, and there was absolutely no way he could take a step back. .
