The call to attack sounded at dawn.
When the sky was just getting a little brighter, Roland's coalition forces began their first siege.
Dozens of catapults were assembled, and then with a whistling sound, large and small boulders cut through the tranquility of the sky and slammed into Thunder City.
The warlocks in Thunder City immediately floated into the sky. Hundreds of warlocks used the same spell at the same time to prop up a huge air shield on the city wall. Countless stones hit the air shield and immediately bounced away. .
But after all, the size of the air shield was limited. The huge rocks that smashed into the city kept destroying houses and buildings. Everyone was scattered and hiding, but from time to time, one or two unlucky ones were still smashed to pieces.
Roddy stood on the city wall, looking coldly at the flesh and blood flying in front of him. His expression was stern, and there was no emotion in his eyes at all - it was as if he had entered the battlefield and he had turned back into the flesh-and-blood person he was fighting in the northwest. , the commander who slaughtered the rebels with blood in Xilin Province and suppressed the mutiny with an iron fist in Ziye City in the south.
"There is no way to win in a siege, it's just a matter of attrition." Milo stood beside him, also looking indifferent.
The slings in the city were finally pushed out, and they were different from the slings of the Roland people. The launchers of the empire's catapults were not loaded with large and small stones, but with huge flaming clay pots. The flames on the earthen jar sizzled, and a strong oily smell filled people's noses. After Rody turned around and saw that the slingshot inside the city wall was ready, he nodded to Sieg.
Sieg waved his hand. The catapults below immediately began to fight back!
Fireballs were thrown into the sky one after another. With a long tail flame, it hit the Roland people's queue hard, and then brilliant sparks burst out. Red flames flickered from time to time in the Roland people's queue, and the sparks splashed on the Roland soldiers. There were countless screams coming from the body.
Buckets of seawater were poured onto the flames, but what surprised the Roland people. After the sea water was poured on it, the flames not only did not go out, but instead roared and grew a little higher!
Many soldiers were quickly swallowed up in the flames, and others were frightened and retreated. A fire that cannot be put out by water! Such a strange scene made many Roland people tremble with fear - are these pagans in the Bright Continent really protected by the devil
Sparks bloomed dazzlingly in the Roland military formation. Although many Roland slingers were not directly hit, as long as a little spark was splashed, they would immediately burn, and the flames would burn more and more fiercely. No matter how hard I save, I can’t put it out!
"Idiot!!" Tiger stood behind, looking at the flames in the army. He shouted: "Water can't quench the fire, so use sand!! Use sand and pour it up!!"
Seeing the Roland people outside the city being burned until black smoke was rising, Rody stood on the city wall and sneered: "It seems that what Dandong said is true. This kind of flame burning black oil cannot be extinguished by water. The water will burn more violently..."
Sieg laughed and said, "Humph, the Roland people learned their slings from us two hundred years ago. They will always just follow us and imitate!"
After all, there were many people in Roland. There was nothing else on the beach, but there was a lot of sand and soil. Buckets of sand and soil were thrown on it. After a while, the flames were suppressed.
The Roland magicians finally took action. Hundreds of high-level magicians in white robes slowly floated into the sky. Hundreds of people chanted a low spell at the same time, and the magic elements in the air quickly became... The fury raged. Large swaths of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the originally calm sky. The dark clouds, which were so dark that it made one's heart tremble, became denser and thicker. Huge lightning flashed from time to time in the middle of the clouds, and faint thunder could be heard in the sky.
The clouds are getting lower and lower, and the dark clouds in the sky have completely enveloped the entire Thunder City. However, just over the sea in the distance, the sky is indeed still clear as usual, and even the sun is still bright.
"Damn it, what kind of magic is this?" Rody frowned.
Although this kind of lightning magic is very common, it is a bit strange to make such a big movement - at this moment, a lightning suddenly struck from the sky and hit a section of the city wall with a bang. With a loud bang, the solid city wall seemed to shake violently. A dozen soldiers were swallowed up in the flames, and died with their bodies covered in charred black. Many people around him fell down, many were paralyzed, and their weapons were thrown aside.
"Where are the warlocks!!" Rody roared, and the warlocks in the city immediately deployed large and small air shields to block the city wall.
But soon, something even more terrifying happened.
The dark clouds in the sky flashed with electric light, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and a lightning struck down. Before the loud noise disappeared, another lightning struck down... In just such an instant, a series of lightning struck continuously like fried beans. On top of the city wall.
A huge roar penetrated both ears, the sky was whitened by a flash of electric light, and the city walls seemed to be shaking. The air shields deployed by the imperial warlocks became increasingly dimmed in the series of huge lightnings. Finally, several warlocks spurted blood from their mouths and fell from the air. Then came more violent lightnings, and the warlocks finally could no longer hold on. . The airflow in the sky became more and more crazy, and as more and more warlocks from the empire fell, it seemed that the air shield above their heads could no longer support it.
In the end, even the bishops and elders of the divine religion slowly fell from the sky with sweating profusely and pale faces. The air shield was finally broken through by lightning, and the warlock in front was immediately struck by lightning. He didn't even have any reaction, and his body was torn apart by lightning, and then he was hit by a huge fire. Hundreds more soldiers fell down on the city wall. The whole body was covered in black smoke and turned into a scorched black.
"What's going on?" Rody shouted: "Even their magicians are not that powerful!"
Seeing the thunder getting louder and louder, Rody suddenly roared, pulled out the Dragon Tooth Sword, and jumped straight into the sky!
A bolt of lightning struck over his head. Rody's body instantly burst into a ball of burning golden fighting spirit. The Dragon Tooth Sword turned into a golden light. He fiercely deflected the incoming fire, and the bolt of lightning was thrown away by Rody, smashing down outside the city wall, and a deep pit immediately appeared on the ground!
"Spread away!!" The golden flames on Roddy's body in the sky shot out more than two meters high, and a dazzling ball of light suddenly emitted from the Dragon Tooth Sword. Even the sun in the distant sky instantly eclipsed the color of the roaring sound. In the middle, a huge light blade was shot out by him, flying fiercely towards the thick dark clouds in the sky.
With the violent airflow, the light blade hit the solid dark cloud and immediately exploded. The strong wind was strong, and the energy was pulling wildly in all directions. A big hole was torn out in the thick dark cloud. The golden fighting spirit in Di's body became stronger and stronger, and he cursed: "You know how to hit me continuously, can't I?"
He drank wildly and kept slashing left and right with the Dragon Tooth Sword. Countless huge blades of light shot out from under his sword, and the dark clouds in the sky were quickly dispersed in a series of explosions, becoming increasingly dimmer... No more lightning could be gathered...
The sky above the Roland military camp in the distance. The magicians in Roland Continent were dumbfounded. One of them, an old man with a white beard, couldn't help but murmured, "That...that guy, is he still a human?!"
"It's dragon energy..." Rody was shocked, and realized that it was because he used too much power, which aroused the power of the demonic dragon in his body. He took a deep breath, and suddenly punched his chest with his fist, drawing a mouthful of blood. After I sprayed it out, I felt that the boiling feeling in my chest became much looser.
The body slowly landed on the city wall, and Siege immediately went up and supported Rody. Rody shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said calmly, "I'm fine." After a pause, he added: "The other party's magic is a bit weird... Even their saints can't use such earth-shattering magic. Dense lightning…”
Tiger's face was gloomy, and he looked at the tired-looking magicians behind him. Then, with an order, huge arrow towers were rolled out from the military camp. Each one was ten meters high. The bottom of the arrow towers was filled with heavy materials. The wheels, pushed hard by countless soldiers, creaked and slowly moved towards the city wall. The arrow tower is wrapped with layers of thick cowhide, braving the continuous rain of arrows on the city wall and the fireballs thrown by the Warlocks of the Light Empire, gradually approaching the city wall!
The large group of soldiers advanced with heavy shields. From time to time, fallen soldiers lay on the ground and screamed. However, the advancing Roland troops did not stop at all and followed the corpses of their companions step by step closer to the city wall.
The soldiers of the empire on the city wall aimed their bows and arrows at the bottom of the city and fired volleys. When the opponent came closer, the stone decorations on the city wall were smashed down like hailstones.
But this time the Roland people obviously sent regular infantry. These soldiers were much stronger than those of the previous day. Their morale was high and they were brave and decisive. After a group of soldiers stepped on countless corpses and finally arrived at the city gate, they quickly removed the heavy shield they held high, revealing the heavy siege log under the shield. Hundreds of soldiers held the huge log and fiercely attacked the city gate. The loud sound seemed to hit the hearts of the imperial soldiers hard.
After paying considerable losses, the heavy arrow towers were finally pushed to the edge of the city wall. Except for several arrow towers that were destroyed by the emperor's catapults as they approached, the arrow towers on the approaching arrow towers were The archers and the imperial soldiers on the city wall started shooting at each other, and the height of the arrow tower completely made up for the advantage in the height of the city wall. Then one side of all the arrow towers suddenly left, and a huge wooden board hit the city wall. The wooden board with a huge iron hook immediately hooked the city wall tightly, and people rushed out of each arrow tower. Hundreds or more fully armed Roland soldiers!
Sieg had already drawn his sword and roared: "Drive them off!!"
The soldiers roared. The people on both sides collided hard! Swords clashed constantly, and there were all kinds of desperate and pitiful howls.
The Roland people who rushed out of the arrow tower were obviously carefully selected elites. Each one had considerable strength, but after all, they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. The empire's defending infantry burst out with high courage. One by one they stepped forward bravely. The city wall was like a bloody hell, with broken arms and limbs flying everywhere, and from time to time, people screamed and fell from the city wall.
Rody didn't know how many people he had killed, but the enemy's infantry had already rushed to the city. Towering ladders had been erected long ago. The enemies pouring out from the arrow towers reduced a lot of pressure on the troops climbing the ladders. , more and more Roland people climbed up the city wall.
After the empire's warlocks fired fireballs continuously. Already exhausted, the Roland people's excessive numbers exhausted all their strength.
The dragon tooth sword in Rody's hand is like a god of death who specializes in robbing lives. No enemy he encounters can resist his casual sword! Seeing that a Roland man in front of him was slashed away by his sword, another Roland man who had just climbed up from the ladder fell down with him. Rody took a step forward and cut off the ladder with a sword, and then the ladder fell down with a series of Roland people on it...
Feeling a strong gust of wind behind him, Rody turned around to block the blow behind him. Standing in front of him was a Roland knight wearing armor, holding a long cross sword in his hand. The sword tip was still dripping with blood, and his face was covered with blood mist. Judging from his attire, he seemed to be a high-ranking warrior among the Roland people. The man gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency is..."
"Get away!!" Rody didn't even look at him, and slashed down with the Dragon Tooth Sword. The opponent held the slashing sword up horizontally, but heard a "chi" sound, and his cross slashing sword was as easy as tofu. After being split open, Rody's sword split the man apart from his shoulders, armor and body!
After kicking away the corpse in front of him, Rody quickly yelled at Sieg: "Now!"
After saying this, Rody jumped off the city wall and landed in the city, leaving a deep pit in the ground.
Among the Roland coalition forces outside the city, Tiger looked solemnly at the fighting on the city wall, watching the dense formations of infantry advancing towards the city wall. The fierce scenes of flesh-and-blood fighting on the city wall made the archers of the Light Empire There is simply no way to stop the advance of groups of dense Roland infantry...
"Perhaps, we can capture Thunder City today..." A thought flashed through Tiger's mind.
But at this moment, an amazing scene happened!
Suddenly a loud horn sound came from the city!
The huge and heavy city gate suddenly opened slowly! The coalition soldiers at the city gate who were still carrying giant trees and banging against the door were stunned by this sudden situation. Then their faces immediately showed a look of fear and despair...
Tiger clearly saw a stream of black iron rushing out of the city gate. The spears in the hands of the cavalry immediately tore the group of infantry who hit the city gate to pieces!
It's Thunder God's Whip! !
Countless horse hooves beat on the ground, and the cavalry in black armor first divided into two teams and fought along the city wall from both sides of the city gate! Under the city wall, the coalition infantrymen holding swords seemed to be stunned. It was not until the enemy's spear pierced their bodies and screamed that the other infantrymen suddenly realized that the enemy actually opened the door when they were attacking the city. Attack! !
The soldiers under the city wall who desperately used their bodies to hold up the ladder were the saddest. Their strength had long been exhausted by holding up the ladder. Facing the spears of the enemy cavalry, they could only close their eyes and wait for death. Countless coalition infantry under the city wall were driven to pieces by Lu Bu's cavalry. None of the infantry used to attack the city wore armor. They were all light infantry, because heavy armor would become a fatal burden during the difficult climb up the city, but Now facing the enemy's terrifying cavalry charge, their lack of good defense capabilities has become their ultimate weakness!
The fighting under the city wall is still going on, but the Whips of Thunder God pouring out from the city gate no longer run to both sides of the city wall... Their target is the infantry queue of the Roland people who are advancing towards the city gate!
The thunder-like sound of horse hooves seemed to drown out the original cry of killing. Countless steel torrents of Thunder God's Whip rushed out from the city gate, forming a neat triangular attack formation, forming a galloping iron stream rolling forward. . The iron hoofs of the war horses shook the sky, and even the sun hanging in the sky was shaken by the impact of this iron current.
The horse's hooves trampled the ground and the dust flew up, and the heavy iron armor on the cavalry made a crisp collision sound.
The Roland coalition infantry who were preparing to advance closer to the city wall were stunned for a moment. Facing the large group of opponent's cavalry that suddenly rushed out of the city, they seemed to stop subconsciously...
The dust was flying, a thousand steps, a hundred steps, ten steps... The cavalry lowered their bodies and clung to the horse, their spears pointed forward horizontally, like a forest of sharp edges!
"kill!!"
Tens of thousands of voices sounded at the same time. The spears in the hands of the cavalry running in the front easily pierced the shields of the coalition soldiers, piercing into the fresh and fragile bodies, splashing out incomparably gorgeous blood flowers, and then howled. Screams and shouts sounded at the same time...
The charge of Thunder God's Whip immediately tore apart the coalition's subsequent attacking infantry array!
Although the advancing infantry formation under the Roland coalition city was very tight and thick, in the face of the charge of Thunder God's Whip, this thick formation revealed a strange weakness - after the infantry in the front row was overwhelmed, the scattered deserters blocked the There, because the queue was too dense, the defeated deserters overwhelmed the army behind them!
The Thunder God's Whip smashed the Roland infantry into pieces. The iron armor on their bodies and the spears in their hands were the deadliest weapons of the coalition infantry! Often, the allied infantry struggled to hit each other with their swords, only to find that their own swords could not bring harm to the enemy at all, while the spears thrust out by the cavalry's sprint could pierce their own from a long distance away. Body! !
Tiger's face turned livid, he pulled out his sword and shouted: "Knights stop them! As long as we stop them, the city will be destroyed today!!!"
