After all, it was discovered a little late. When the arrow of the sharp archer was shot and blocked by the opponent's shield, circles of bloody ripples had already erupted in the Foro forward army.
All the Foro fighters shrouded in blood light suddenly swelled their muscles, their eyes were filled with blood light, and they rushed towards the city at a faster speed than before.
Bloodthirsty is exactly the bloodthirsty of a blood mage.
Among magicians, blood mages are a different kind of existence. For other magicians, blood mages' individual combat ability is not strong, and they don't even have any outstanding attack magic. However, blood mages appear in wars , but it is more effective than magicians with any other attributes. Their bloodthirsty skills can add bloodthirsty effects to fighters in a huge range.
Once covered by the bloodthirsty effect, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers can be increased by 1.5 times in an instant, and at the same time, they will lose the sense of pain, and they will not fear death. In other words, soldiers under the bloodthirsty effect of the blood mage will immediately become dead soldiers. Of course, this also has disadvantages. When the bloodthirsty effect disappears, the vitality of the warrior itself will drop significantly. Once hit by bloodthirsty, the lifespan will be shortened by at least three years.
With the full power of more than a dozen blood mages, the thousands of Foro warriors charging at the front suddenly entered a bloodthirsty state, and rushed towards Sfort City at a faster speed. At the same time, those Foluo landfillers also quickly transported sandbags and came towards the moat.
"Ming, those blood mages have been solved." Ye Yinzhu shouted in a deep voice, he knew that if these blood mages were allowed to play freely. Then, what one's side has to face will be all slayer-level shocks.
At the same time, Ancelotti also gave the order to attack. In an instant, the ballista and the catapult were fired at the same time, and the sound of machine honking spread throughout the city.
The eyes merge into one. With a click, a bolt of lightning shot out from Ming's single eye, and the shield blocking Xuefa's body was shattered, and the next moment, the mage had already turned into coke.
The mountain giant's talent and supernatural ability Thunder Clap are not something these fragile mages can compete with. After receiving Ye Yinzhu's order, Ming Fei quickly killed more than ten times, and easily eliminated the blood mages in the enemy's battle formation. . The release of his one-eyed Thunder immediately caused the generals of the surrounding Eastern Legion to look at him. It's just that no one has the heart to ask the mystery at this time.
While the dozen or so blood mages were being dealt with in the Ming Dynasty, thousands of Foro soldiers who had been bloodthirsty at the front had already rushed to the moat.
The power of heavy crossbows and catapults is absolutely terrifying. Although the speed and strength of these bloodthirsty soldiers have improved a lot in all aspects, but before they can swim across the moat, they are immediately surrounded by a rain of arrows and huge stones. total destruction.
Ye Yinzhu shouted loudly: "The catapult stopped attacking, and the archers continued. All magicians are ready to respond."
The loss of the siege was undoubtedly huge, but the Florians launched round after round of charges as if they didn't know life and death at all. The ladders were directly placed on both sides of the moat, and a large number of landfillers braved the rain of arrows. Transport the sand and gravel forward. When a group of landfillers die, another group will rush up immediately, pushing the sand and gravel bags they dropped on the ground to continue moving forward.
A large amount of blood and corpses were scattered in front of the city of Sfort, and this cruel war finally began.
Under the city, the siege equipment continued to move forward, and Fo Luo's side erected dozens of arrow towers in front of the city, shooting towards the top of Sfort City. Unfortunately, these archery towers cannot be equipped with heavy crossbows. No matter in terms of range or lethality, it is far from being able to compare with the defense of the city.
At this time, although it was still difficult for the Florians to cross the moat to pose a real threat to the city of Sfort, the Milanese in the city knew it. This is just the beginning, and the real battle is yet to come. The moat in front of the city is being filled with bags of sand. The charge of the Florians also became more swift and violent.
A large number of shields were erected on the top of the city to resist the arrows shot from the opposite side. Ancelotti eagerly said to Ye Yinzhu who had no armor: "My lord, step back a little to avoid being hurt by the loss."
Ye Yinzhu shook his head, his expression was very calm, and he was not moved by the situation in the city at all, "Marshal Ancelotti, please go to supervise the logistics troops of the army, and ensure the quantity of various supplies in the city."
There are at least thousands of archers from the Kingdom of Flora below. It is impossible without Liuya, but Ancelotti soon discovered that Ye Yinzhu didn't have to worry about Liuya at all. The big man who caused the thunder and lightning was half in front of him, and no arrows could pass by him. Even if there were arrows shot from the side, he would easily block them with his raised hand. The most shocking thing is that this A strong man actually used his body to block the arrow. When the strong arrow hit him, there could only be a muffled sound, but it could not cause the slightest harm.
At this time, the 40,000 troops of Foro Pioneer had completely arrived at the city, and the front was the heavy armored infantry transported to the front line by chariots. Although the speed of this infantry was slow, its defense was extremely amazing. Every infantry They all held a tower shield taller than their own body in their hands. When they came to the moat, every three heavy infantry did not know how to put the tower shield together to form a solid line of defense. It is difficult to penetrate their giant shields that are half a foot thick.
Ye Yinzhu looked at the scene below the city coldly. This is the standard siege method of the Floro people. He has seen the introduction of this siege method in detail in the military book. The tower shield is in front, not for the sake of Attack, but to reduce their own damage as much as possible. Now the goal of the Florians is not the city of Sfort, but the moat under the city. With this tower shield, although it can't protect the Faro soldiers in the back row, it can at least reduce the damage by half, or even two-thirds. At the same time, all kinds of siege equipment in the rear of Foluo are also advancing rapidly. As long as the moat is filled, then it is time for the Foluo people to launch a general attack. In order to be able to enter the city of Sfort and achieve the purpose of supporting war with war, the Florians have already reckless, and they are desperate.
"Catapult." Ye Yinzhu yelled loudly, and the catapult that had ceased fire under his order was pulled up again, accompanied by rattling sounds, and dozens of huge stone bombs fell from the sky with a bang, towards Fall across the moat.
The screams resounded for a while. Although the defense of the tower shield was amazing, it was still too far behind the boulders emitted by the catapult. The power of the catapult was perfectly displayed on them, and even some siege equipment that was pushed too fast stopped in front of the catapult. .
Although Ancelotti is not a famous general, he is definitely a famous general. Seeing that the tower shield wall was smashed by the catapult, he immediately commanded the archers in the city to speed up and shoot down. At this time, the archers don't need to aim at all, they just need to keep firing their bows and arrows. There are too many Florians below, and even the blind man has become a master archer at this time.
Kessler stood behind the Florian army, quietly watching the tragic war ahead. He knew that this battle itself was a war of attrition, and the Florian soldiers were using their lives and blood to pave the way forward. the way. At this moment, he has no other choice. If he wants to move forward, he must pay the price.
"Marshal, shouldn't it be time for the magician to come on?" A soldier beside Koesler suggested in a low voice.
Kessler shook his head and said: "No, it's not time yet. What we have to do now is to consume, consume the opponent's defensive weapons, and at the same time, use this time to fill up the moat, otherwise, even if our magic The division completely suppressed the opponent, and there was no chance of rushing to the top of the wall. Come."
"Marshal." An orderly bowed and saluted.
"Pass me an order to the vanguard, let them do whatever it takes. I'll give them half an hour to fill up the moat, even with their corpses." Kessler's voice was cold and stern, and everyone You know, he's not joking.
The charge of the Florians became more ferocious. When one piece of the tower shield fell down, another piece was erected. More and more corpses piled up beside the moat. An entire hour passed. During this hour, the people of the Kingdom of Floro The vanguard paid at least 5,000 lives.
However, their sacrifices are not worthless. The moat of Sfort City has been filled in half, and the depth of the sand and gravel filling is not even as deep as that of the bodies of the Florians.
The archers at the head of Sfort City have changed to the third batch, and each batch of archers will only retreat when their arms are too sore to lift. The lethality of the heavy crossbow is the most astonishing, but the accumulation of heavy crossbow arrows is also the least. Once this kind of heavy arrow with a thickness of one inch is fired, if it hits the right place, even the tower shield can be smashed. Once it is shot into the crowd, at least several lives will be taken away. On the top of the city, except for the heavy crossbow, the archers lined up in three rows, drew their bows, stepped forward, and released their arrows. The three rows of archers released almost seamlessly. A large number of bows and arrows poured down the city, constantly harvesting the lives of the Florians.
Ancelotti said in a deep voice: "My lord, according to the current situation, it won't be long before our moat will be filled by the Florians. At that time, they will definitely launch more fierce attacks. If I judge Yes, that's when the Volo waited to unleash their magic on us."
