Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 138: The most extravagant counterattack

Views:

The great magician who cooperated with the defense line was Wald. He didn't float into the air. Maybe he learned the lesson of Julian's death last time and stayed behind the tower.

Gilgamesh had no success with one arrow, and laughed loudly: "Amon, did you use such a big battle just to catch my arrow? I want to see how strong the city wall of Hongjiao Town is!"

With the sound of war drums and thunder, forty personal guards carried the high platform and pushed forward to the front left, avoiding the position of the tower where Amon was, and the siege team rushed up. The pull ropes of the cannon carts on the city wall were tightened, and the bows and crossbows had been wound long ago. When the enemy's siege vehicles entered the range, the first round of flying stones fell all over the sky, and the arrows on the archery tower also shot through the flying stones. into the city. Someone was hit by an arrow and fell off the city wall, someone was hit by a flying stone and fell under the chariot, and the battle broke out again.

If the enemy troops were allowed to push the chariots to unload sand and stones without any scruples, the city walls of Hongjiao Town would be filled up in no time. The chariot formation of the Uruk Legion was blocked by flying stones and arrows, but the artillery chariots and crossbow arrows had a dead angle for shooting. The siege vehicles passed through the dense arrow stones to reach the city wall, and the soldiers defending the city had to lean out of the wall In order to shoot, this also exposes oneself and becomes the target of the opponent's firepower.

Carts of gravel piled up under the wall, and then scattered like quicksand. This is the quicksand technique in the earth element magic, and it can also prevent the siege at this moment. There were singing sounds on the city wall, various flames and wind blades fell, and the Uruk soldiers pushing the chariot raised their shields to defend. Many people were hit by divine magic and screamed.

The magician team sent by Amon to the city wall is also helping to fight, and they are attacking the enemies at the base of the wall. They all stood a little away from the battlements, protected by warriors in front of them.

Amid the sound of war drums, the chariots with archery towers in the Uruk army also approached. The two sides fired arrows and crossbows at each other, only the sound of swishing through the air was heard. The light curtains that appeared and disappeared around the watchtower also rose, and the arrows that were shot lost their power and fell. The priests of the Uruk Legion also moved forward with the battle line, hiding behind the chariot and performing magic.

Gilgamesh said to Enkidu on the high platform, "Sure enough, Amon sent magicians to the city wall in groups of three to help the warriors defend the city."

Enkidu sneered: "The number of magical masters is much smaller than that of warriors. Their greatest use is not in hand-to-hand combat on the front line. They are jumping the wall in a hurry."

Gilgamesh reminded: "As I guessed in advance, those magicians may be waiting for you with scrolls."

Enkidu: "It's just a shell, if you break it, it will all be broken!"

Gilgamesh smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, let me try how hard Amon's shell is on the city."

Forty personal guards carried a high platform made of giant logs and walked around the city behind the battle formation. Gilgamesh avoided the tower where Amon was in the middle, and shot towards the city wall with his bow and arrow. The range of an arrow lies not only in the crossbow or bow, but also in the archer. The crossbow arrows in the city cannot hit Gilgamesh on the high platform, but Gilgamesh's arrows are full of roaring power, and they hit the city wall heavily. .

The arrow knocked away the chaotic rocks shot from the front of the city wall, and a large piece collapsed in an instant, and several Eju soldiers fell down. Immediately, the sound of chanting came from both ends of the gap, and several magical masters worked together to cast the strong wall technique, and the fallen earth and rocks were rolled up, temporarily repairing the gap.

Gilgamesh smiled slightly, without being entangled in one place, the high platform under his feet continued to move away, and shot another arrow not far away. Several soldiers with shields flew up from the shock of the arrow, and the shields offered by the three magicians behind were also shattered by the arrow, one of them was shot through the chest, and the other two were shot by the surging The force fell behind the city wall, and it was unknown whether it was dead or alive.

Gilgamesh shot arrows back and forth in this unhurried manner. Each arrow did not use all its strength, but its power was astonishing. Shooting an arrow in a different place can always achieve something, not just a gap in the city wall, It is to shoot down several soldiers, or shoot over a catapult, causing panic on the city wall. The siege soldiers found a breakthrough and took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. In order to block the gap, the defending army suffered a lot of losses.

Amon, who was watching the battle on the tower, broke out in a cold sweat. Gilgamesh's divine arrow is so powerful. Fortunately, this kind of archery cannot be used intensively without limit, and it also consumes a lot of mana, so Gilgamesh does not need to use all his strength. It takes a while to shoot an arrow, otherwise the city wall will not need to be defended, it is better to just set up an army formation and charge.

The magic formation presided over by Wald also followed suit. The great magician slowly flew up behind the city wall, not too high or too far ahead, just following Gilgamesh's position. Walking around the city from a distance, there is always an invisible barrier protecting the top of the city wall, and the situation is finally stabilized. But beating like this is always being beaten passively.

Cannon carriages were also set up between the arrow towers of the Uruk Legion, and pieces of flying stones fell towards the city wall of Hongjiao Town. They are indeed the most powerful army on the mainland. Resident soldiers are obviously better. Amon on the tower also took out his own bow and arrows, Zhang Gong shot a dozen arrows intermittently.

He overturned two gravel chariots, a gun carriage, and an archery tower, but the arrows he continued to shoot were also blocked by the enemy camp's magic protection formation. Looking at Enkidu next to Gilgamesh, he hasn't made a move yet. Amon sighed, turned around quietly and left the tower, and the great magician Li Kuide beside him also disappeared.

There are only a few thousand defenders in Hongjiao Town. If they continue to resist like this, sooner or later they will be unable to defend. It depends on when Enkidu chooses to charge. Enkidu on the high platform had been paying attention to the arrows fired by Gilgamesh, and seemed to turn a blind eye to the fierce battle on the city wall. He said quietly: "My lord, you have attracted their magic array and great magicians."

Gilgamesh nodded: "You can do it now!"

Enkidu: "Red Cape Town's left and right flank chariots should have been dispatched, trying to outflank our army formation."

Gilgamesh: "The chess pieces are all clearly laid out. I have prepared for it a long time ago, and I will fight a tough battle." As he spoke, he suddenly shot three arrows in succession, one arrow faster than the last, and they all shot with unstoppable force. Towards a point on the city wall.

There was a huge roar, and the invisible light curtain covering the city suddenly became extremely bright. Wald, who was flying behind the city wall, waved his staff and blocked the three arrows with all his strength. The entire city wall seemed to be trembling, and the soldiers on the city wall fell to the ground one after another because they couldn't stand still. Everyone thought that Gilgamesh was going to choose this place to launch the main attack, and Enkidu also jumped down from the high platform.

Seeing Enkidu move, Wald immediately flew back and disappeared from behind the city wall. This was what Amon had told him a long time ago. He didn't dare to let the great magician use his flesh and blood to resist the fist of the number one warrior in the mainland. He had to keep a distance to launch an effective counterattack.

However, Enkidu didn't rush forward directly. He sprinted behind the battle formation, bypassed the tower and came to the other side of the city wall. His speed was faster than flying, and then he turned around and rushed directly to the city. He jumped up high with a stomp, and smashed his fist against the city wall with a ball of golden light. Behind him, a group of Uruk heavy cavalry galloped out, following the great warrior to break through the city defense.

This is the place where Gilgamesh's second arrow shot. The three magicians guarding here have already been killed. The nearby group of magicians re-opened the distance to fill the gap, but the defense is relatively weak. The mid-level magician holding the scroll is not a great magician either. After all, the scrolls have to be used by humans. How can anyone not panic in the face of Enkidu

Enkidu's speed was too fast, so fast that it gave people the illusion that just now he swung his fist as if he was in front of his eyes. The magician holding the space-locking scroll unfolded the scroll too early, and the space in front of the city wall was distorted and in a trance. Many flying arrows were instantly frozen, and then fell slowly, including the soldiers who defended the city. Enkidu's crossbow.

This imprisoned space was immediately torn apart by a ball of golden light, leaving cracks on the ground below. The magician holding the high-level attack scroll shot a little low. This is a scroll of wind elements. The diffuse wind blades danced, and even left traces on the city wall. The nearby siege soldiers He fell down screaming.

But Enkidu passed through the edge of the flying blades from above, and the wind blades scattered under the brilliance of his fist, and occasionally a few aftermath waves were annihilated by the light emitted by the snake scale armor. The great warrior punched the city wall heavily, and the magician holding the high-level defense scroll hadn't had time to unfold the scroll!

Half of the city wall collapsed in an instant, smoke and dust exploded and blocked the surrounding sight, and the soldiers on both sides were overturned to the ground by the flying air waves. At this time, thunderbolts shook ears and flames flew, and the other two groups of magicians, one left and one right, had already thrown out the scrolls. They couldn't see Enkidu, but they knew that Enkidu was in the smoke.

When the scroll was unfolded, a loud shout was heard, and a burly figure flew out, turned somersaults in the air and fell far outside the city. Enkidu didn't stop at all, relying on the recoil force of his punch, he flew upside down before landing, and punched again in the air, breaking away the twisted space that entangled his figure.

Finally, the space locking scroll unfolded by a magician worked, but it was a pity that Enkidu had been prepared and was not trapped in place. Amon, who was watching the battle from a distance, almost didn't vomit blood. Enkidu seemed to have known the tactics of the Eju army against him. He knocked down half of the city wall with one blow, and then flew back with the force of the recoil. With his speed and strength, he couldn't even keep the space locking scroll.

What's more terrible is that the groups of magicians on both sides have already unfolded the scrolls, and the strong attack concentrated on the half of Enkidu's collapsed city wall. Enkidu is busy! There were still many fallen soldiers on both sides of the gap in the city wall, some of them might have been injured, some of them were knocked to the ground by the mighty punch, but at this moment they died under the attack scroll opened by the magician.

In other words, the scrolls thrown by the groups of magicians on both sides not only did not hurt Enkidu, but instead helped Enkidu break down the city wall and killed the defenders. No matter how good Amon's plan is, it needs people to realize it, not to mention that there is no way to do it.

Magicians are never suitable for melee combat on the front line. Even if these noble adults face the number one warrior in the mainland, even if they are not afraid, they will not be able to cooperate seamlessly. What's more, Enkidu has long been prepared

Enkidu flew back to the ground, the heavy cavalry rushing behind had followed up, and the gap in the city wall ahead had also been opened. He shouted again, striding and rushing between the two sections of the city wall. The morale of the Uruk army was greatly boosted, and they launched a full-line attack around the city wall to cooperate with Enkidu's breakthrough!

At this moment, Amon shouted: "Enkidu, I have been waiting for you to die for a long time!"

Where is Amon? Standing on the top of a building behind the tower, he could clearly see the semi-circular defense line of the city wall in front of him. Countless arrows crossed the city wall and shot into the city, and groups of stones wrapped in flames flew down inside and outside the city wall. They were flints fired by the siege artillery vehicles of the Uruk Legion, which looked very spectacular.

The magicians were also fighting. From time to time, pieces of ice mist extinguished the flames on the stones, and the twisting force changed the direction in which the stones fell, preventing them from hitting the soldiers below. The siege battle had reached its climax. Amon stood on the roof and watched quietly. Around the tall building he was standing on, there was a group of cavalry in bright armor silently returning, waiting for something.

Amon stretched his bow and set his arrows with an extremely dignified expression. Li Kuide, a ninth-level great magician, stood behind him, holding a staff in his left hand and holding a magic weapon in his right hand. He was meditating with his eyes closed. Both of them had been gathering momentum for a long time.

As soon as Enkidu's figure appeared at the gap in the city wall where the smoke and dust had not dispersed, Amon shot out an arrow. The arrow was silent and extremely fast at the beginning, but suddenly slowed down when it approached the city wall. There was the roar of the crashing waves, and there was a flash of blue light all around.

Countless sharp icicles appeared, shooting directly at Enkidu in the center, and even the air became icy cold. With the slightest sound, the arrow suddenly accelerated and shot through the ice cone again, like the peak of a huge wave, Enkidu could not avoid it. This is an arrow shot by Amon with all his strength, and a ninth-level great magician has used mana to attach to the arrow. In order to enhance the effect of the ice light shooting, Li Kuide also held a space magic weapon filled with water in his hand.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu can cooperate in archery, so Amon and Li Quide can also cooperate in this way, just waiting for the moment Enkidu appears. Enkidu rushed into the city and had been guarding against all attacks for a long time. Immediately, he punched a golden light burst in the face, making a loud noise and hitting Amon's arrow clusters.

Li Kuide gritted his teeth and picked up his staff, and the dancing ice foam condensed into a huge ice shell, which just blocked the gap in the city wall and covered Enkidu inside. Flames instantly ignited in the ice wall, and the flames changed from orange to blue to pale gold. This magical technique is exactly like the effect of Nero's own scroll "Song of Ice and Fire". Amon once used this trick After killing the two-headed snake, let a ninth-level great magician perform it at this moment, specifically to deal with Enkidu.

Enkidu is not as easy to deal with as the two-headed snake. He turned around and waved his fists. His figure was like an invisible phantom. The snake scale armor on his body also emitted a bronze light, and all the flames close to him were blown away. . Suddenly, an arrow whizzed and shot obliquely from outside the city, hitting the outer layer of the ice shell that had just condensed, and the whole ice shell cracked with a click. It was an arrow shot by Gilgamesh from a distance with all his strength.

At the same time Gilgamesh's arrow shot through the ice shell, Enkidu turned around and punched the ice shell from the inside. The most powerful lethal force of the "Song of Ice and Fire" is the big explosion caused by the flames in the thick ice layer, but at the moment of the explosion, Gilgamesh's arrow and Enkidu's fist struck at the same time. Hit by the ice shell, the ice shell shattered, and Enkidu flew out.

Behind Enkidu, there was a huge explosion, and ice and flames flew in all directions. The air wave even swept over the Uruk cavalry who were rushing towards the city wall. Immediately after the flames were extinguished, the shattered ice and scattered earth and rocks were collected again by a strange force, forming a hard frozen soil at the gap in the original city wall.

The gap in the city wall has been repaired. The frozen soil formed by the mixture of earth, rocks and ice is quite tough, and a single cut can only leave a white mark. Moreover, such a large piece of frozen soil can be destroyed in a short period of time unless the fire element magic is used to attack it intensively. Can't melt inside. Seeing that Enkidu had escaped, Li Kuide immediately used his mana to repair such a section of the city wall. This is the skill of a ninth-level great magician, and it is simply amazing.

Not only the movement in this place was amazing, but the entire defensive wall of Hongjiao Town was full of magic power. Some of the siege vehicles of the Uruk Legion were on fire, some were torn apart, and some were rolled up Buckled on the soldiers behind, the soldiers who attacked the city let out a cry of mourning, and there were heavy casualties in an instant.

The arrow shot by Amon was the signal, and he gave orders to all the magicians on the city wall in advance. Hearing this arrow, he unfolded all the attack scrolls in his hands, and controlled the explosion range so as not to hurt the city wall. Against the siege Uruk soldiers and chariots. Some magicians had already died in battle, and the remaining magicians unfolded their high-level attack scrolls, and the siege troops who had just rushed under the city wall were almost devastated.

Amon had planned for a long time. Once Enkidu was allowed to penetrate a certain section of the city wall, and the magicians in other positions would not be able to use the scrolls, then he would throw them out at the same time to severely damage the siege troops. Rod Dick and his son have accumulated a solid family background over the years, and Amon's shots are absolutely generous, and almost all of them were squandered in the blink of an eye. No matter which legion is on the mainland, I have never seen anyone fighting like this!

If the general can spend the most money in the blink of an eye on the battlefield today, it is Amon's "feat" at this moment. But what he spent was the money of the cape city-state and the Eju military department, and in the end it still had to be counted in the Eju treasury, anyway, he didn't feel sad.

The army of Uruk is undefeated, but the siege troops at the front have been routed. At this time, a short horn sounded from the distant army formation. This is an order to command the forward troops to gather and retreat temporarily. To continue the offensive, the army must be regrouped. The remaining siege troops left corpses and damaged chariots all over the place, and quickly retreated behind the battle formation of the archery towers, while the rest of the archery towers also slowly retreated out of the range of the enemy to re-arrange the formation.
