Xiao Yu's little trick killed nearly 2,000 troops in Kalu's army in an instant, which made Kalu's face so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
With an army of 20,000, he thought it would be easy to take down the Lion King collar, but now he has suffered such a heavy loss.
This Xiao Yu is really too despicable and shameless.
"The ballista, put it on for me, and suppress those archers." Originally, according to the plan, the ballista would wait for a while before launching it, but the insult and heavy loss caused by Xiao Yu to Kalu made him furious Under this, the ballista entered the battle sequence in advance.
The soldiers operating the ballista got the order, immediately pushed the ballista, and headed down the city wall. When they were ready to reach the attack distance, they began to attack.
Although the ballista hits from the bottom of the city to the top of the city, but because of its strong power, its power is no shorter than the arrows shot from the top of the city.
This is just an ordinary ballista. If it is some ballista blessed by magic, coupled with the magic armor arrow, the range will be even more terrifying, and the power will be even greater.
Xiao Yu watched Kalu's ballista start to move forward from the top of the wall, and he knew what Kalu was thinking. Immediately, he waved his hand, and the ten trebuchets immediately adjusted their direction, aiming at the four scattered among them. Ballista.
"Get ready, let go." Xiao Yu directed and issued the order himself.
Immediately, in the sky, hundreds of rocks flew down from the top of the city, like meteors falling all over the sky, and smashed directly at the four ballistas over there in an extremely dense formation.
buzz buzz...
The sound made by the flying stones all over the sky carried a terrifying power, as if countless locusts rushed over in one go.
"What's that?" The soldier operating the ballista looked up at the stones all over the sky, a little dazed, and didn't realize what was going on for a while.
By the time they reacted, the stones had already reached the top of their heads, and because they were too densely distributed, they had nowhere to hide if they wanted to dodge.
Xiao Yu's use of this long-range heavy weapon is definitely different from Kalu's troops. Karu's ballistas are distributed behind several phalanxes, helping the light infantry attacking the city to suppress the archers at the top of the city, so that they can climb the top of the city smoothly.
The purpose of Xiao Yu's use of the trebuchet was to use large-scale concentrated heavy firepower to cause absolute suppression and fatal damage to the opponent.
This is the different thinking of people in Xiao Yu's previous life and this era of cold weapons.
Only when heavy weapons are used together can they produce enormous power and suppress and destroy the opponent.
Xiao Yu naturally saw the more than 20 ballistas on the other side, and he also knew that if these ballistas were allowed to enter the range, they could cause huge damage to the elf archers at the top of the city.
These elf archers are all his treasures, and they have finally been trained to the third level. If Xiao Yu dies, he will die of heartache.
Therefore, Xiao Yu naturally wanted to destroy these heavy weapons before they came within range.
This is like seeing that the opponent has heavy mortar firepower in that era, so you must kill all the opponent's mortars first, so that you can gain a better advantage over the opponent.
In this case, Xiao Yu could beat them, but they could not pose a threat to Xiao Yu's troops.
When the two armies meet, they must kill the opponent's heavy firepower first. This was also common sense in the previous era of hot weapons.
Xiao Yu had tested the power of the catapult, and was very satisfied with the distance and power. He has absolute confidence that on the top of the city, these catapults can completely suppress any powerful siege equipment brought by Karoo.
Originally, in this era, there were not many machines that could be better than the orc catapult, and Xiao Yu and the others occupied a high place, so the throwing distance must be much better than the opponent.
Therefore, before the opponent launches an attack, they can completely kill each other in their infancy.
Now, the only problem that plagues the catapult is the problem of accuracy. The long-range weapons of this era are not as accurate as Xiao Yu's era. If the deviation of the catapult is ten meters to Xiao Yu, it is considered accurate.
Therefore, Xiao Yu directly covered up the problem of accuracy with a large-scale concentrated fire attack. If a catapult shoots at a ballista, it may not be able to defeat a catapult even after several consecutive hits.
But ten catapults shot at one place together, and seven or eight stones weighing thirty to forty catties were placed on each catapult, and a total of nearly one hundred stones were densely covered.
No matter how big the error is, under this intensive attack, there will always be stones that can hit the target and kill the opponent's ballista.
Sure enough, the stones weighing 30 to 40 jins combined with the free fall motion of more than 20 meters high formed a huge power, which not only smashed the skeletons of those ballistas directly, but also shattered all the soldiers manipulating nearby. Meat puree.
The four ballistas together were all smashed into a pile of pieces.
"Well, it's a good fight. These ten catapults are indeed worth buying. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is definitely a bargain."
Xiao Yu squinted his eyes, and was very satisfied with the effect of using the catapult for the first time.
But it was only a short time, less than ten seconds, the slaves and orc laborers of the Black Iron tribe had already filled up the catapult again, ready for the second attack.
This time, the orc peons were also transferred by Xiao Yu to participate in the defensive battle. At the beginning, Xiao Yu wanted to take advantage of the loophole to make the orc peons also become fighters. After all, although they are not as powerful as orc soldiers, at least they have physical advantages, and ordinary soldiers should not be their opponents.
But after testing their fighting ability, Xiao Yu directly gave up this idea. Just like the melee ability of the elf archers can't be improved no matter what, the orcs are very good at hard work and can endure hardships and stand hard work, but let them fight, they are really unbearable, no matter how much they train.
It looks like they are tall and big, but any elite human soldier can easily kill them. There is no way, Xiao Yu can only pull them up during this kind of logistical support, and use them as labor.
Although they say they don't know how to fight, they are very useful for moving stones and lifting catapults. They are strong and burly, and a few orc laborers can lift the catapult away, saving the orc infantry. amount.
"Switch target, get ready, release." Xiao Yu shouted loudly again.
buzz buzz...
The sky was full of rocks falling down again, like countless meteorites falling, and the five ballistas of the opponent were smashed directly, turning into a pile of firewood.
A series of concentrated fire attacks from catapults directly stunned Kalu's army. They all thought in shock that there was a high-level magician on Xiao Yu's side, who could release such a large-scale spell as "Meteorite from Heaven".
This must be at least a magician of the fifth or even sixth rank.
Seeing the power of Xiao Yu's powerful catapult, the operator of the ballista did not dare to step forward, and hurriedly wanted to retreat, but how could Xiao Yu let it go so easily, and continued to command ten catapults together for three times Focus fire attack, once again killed six Kalu ballistas.
Of Karoo's more than 20 ballistas, there are only a dozen left now, and half of them are lost.
"What is that thing? Could it be that they have a sixth-level magician?" Karu watched the sky full of stones fall, and instantly smashed several ballistas into pieces, his shocked eyes almost popped out.
At this time, although there was no help from the ballista, many light infantry had rushed to the bottom of the city, climbed up the ladder, and began to attack towards the top of the city.
Under Karu's promise of a reward for being the first to climb to the top of the city, these infantrymen still braved the rain of arrows and climbed to the city wall desperately.
Although they also saw something whizzing past the top of the city just now, they didn't have time to think too much on the chaotic battlefield. They only had to block the arrows, move forward quickly, and climb up the city wall to be serious.
A hundred human infantry held their shields in front to guard against the sneak attack of the crossbowmen below, and the orc infantry followed closely behind. They were full of anticipation for the incoming Karui soldiers.
At the same time, Kalu's heavy infantry were gradually approaching the open city gate, and the bows and arrows of the elves were not aimed at them from the beginning.
Xiao Yu knew that bows and arrows were a waste of feathers and arrows against heavy infantry, so he ordered all elf archers to shoot only light infantry, and let the heavy infantry come over completely.
"Get ready to meet the enemy." Long Hui looked at the Kalu soldiers who were about to climb up the wall, and shouted loudly.
