Chapter 804: Battle of the Attila Empire (3) --- Wall of Fire

Alice looked at the destroyed siege engine.

"It was captured from the battlefield, or supplied by the United Kingdom, or sold by some of our more greedy merchants. ”

Her tone was cold, obviously the explosive arrow appeared in the other party's hand, which had already made her feel angry, and the attendants around her subconsciously shivered.

If it is the last possibility, then it is conceivable that there will be a wave of purges within the Baltic Empire, and those who are unruly and violate the laws of the empire will not only be treated with ruined families, but even if they become slaves, they may be extravagant.

The shadow hidden in the shadows flickered slightly, like a candle in the breeze, in fact, Qil had already conveyed the order from Alice to the assassins below, such a task did not need to be carried out by her personally, and the well-trained subordinates below could naturally bring them satisfactory answers.

After clearing the first wave of attacks, the soldiers of the Attila Empire did not have time to cheer, as the enemy behind them had already come closer, and they had learned their previous lesson and abandoned the use of siege towers in favor of the more primitive ladders.

Compared to siege towers, the ladder is much more rudimentary, but the ladder has the advantage of a ladder, which can reduce losses when facing explosive arrows.

The general who is commanding still keeps a clear head, no matter which way these explosive arrows flow into the Attila Empire, the number of them is definitely not much, as long as such a dense attack frequency is maintained, the opponent's explosive arrows will soon run out.

When the explosive arrows are used up, there is no way to stop the approach of the siege tower by relying only on the catapults, and the catapults produced by the Attila Empire are really poor in terms of accuracy and reloading speed, and if they are used for a short time and at high frequency, those catapults are extremely prone to damage, and it takes a long time to repair.

War is never a game, and winning without sacrificing is something that is only possible in your sleep, even with a dominant position like the Baltic Empire.

The meaning of the Baltic Empire is already clearly on the stage, which is to use the lives of these mercenaries and tribal warriors to consume the energy, physical strength and ammunition of the soldiers of the Attila Empire, and through this attrition, force the casters of the Attila Empire to participate in the battle.

As long as the Attila Empire invests in the caster, then they will fall into passivity in this battle, and will be completely led by the nose of the Baltic Empire.

To the left of the rear of the vanguard army, the army of centaurs had already begun their final preparations, and according to the order conveyed above, they would intervene in the battlefield in ten minutes.

Many of these centaurs had come from the Attila Empire, and now the situation seemed to be unreal, as the country that had given them unspeakable fear was now trembling under their iron horses, and could be destroyed at any moment.

"Ready!"

The voices of the officers of the troops rang in their ears, awakening the centaurs who had fallen into memory, and they drew their bows and arrows from their waists, clenched the short bows in their hands, and looked at the enemy at the city walls, aiming and verifying.

The centaurs can't wait to join the battle, lamenting for their former comrades, now their enemies, and the despair they face as if it were the darkness of the early hours of the morning.

Placed on the short bow by the centaur is an arrow entwined with the wind, which is a very different arrow from the explosive arrow, and has greatly improved speed and penetration.

A torrential rain of arrows rained down from the sky, and the soldiers of the Attila Empire raised their shields in front of them, or half-crouched down against the walls to resist.

In such a situation where there are people in front of you, there is no way to dodge or anything, and the best way to deal with such a rain of arrows is to find obstacles or put a shield in front of you.

However, this previously invincible method did not work at this time, and the extremely penetrating arrows pierced through the person and the shield in their hands, and only a few elite people who could use the shield to perform some unloading force survived.

"Reload in three seconds, pierce the arrow!"

“3”

“2”

“1”

"Launch!"

The centaurs rained down arrows with great quality and speed, and they began to follow the commander of the team as they slowly moved around the walls, targeting the elite troops of the opposing side.

In such a battlefield, ordinary troops are cannon fodder, and it is those elites who really determine the direction of the battlefield, and an elite who fights crazy can even change the local battle situation.

In the sky, the round flowering bullet with a long tail flame, drawing a graceful curved trajectory, smashed into the crowd of people on the city wall, and the terrible explosion swept through the surrounding soldiers, shattering the stone fragments, easily clearing the surrounding people, leaving corpses all over the ground covered with bloody holes.

Looking down from the sky, it looks like a cake on the table, with a part missing from it, destroying the integrity of the overall circle.

Almost every part of the city's walls was under attack and bombardment, and the walls under our feet never stopped, and I don't know when this fortified wall will collapse.

The soldiers of the Attila Empire, their counterattacks were also very fierce, and the arrows and javelins flying from the city walls, as well as the throwing stones, had a terrible hit rate.

The mercenaries and warriors of the tribe who were charging could only slowly advance against shields or other obstacles, and as long as they could break under the city walls, they would be temporarily safe due to the problem of angle.

Everyone knew that the Attila Empire did not dare to throw stones and logs down from above the walls, and these things were thrown to the ground, which could easily be used by the enemy to build a ladder to climb upwards.

In addition to stones and rolling wood, boiling water is also a good choice, but as a completely surrounded defender, the Attila Empire is fighting a protracted war, and will not waste the precious water and wood in the city at such a time.

Water is an extremely important consumable that no living thing can live without, and in Scandinavia, wood is indispensable for burning to dispel the cold in order to survive the harsh winters.

Not only water and wood, but the Attila Empire was not as extravagant as the Baltic Empire, and each of their materials was extremely precious and needed to be used sparingly.

In the whole battlefield, there was one unit that stood out, it was a brown-skinned orc, they wore exquisite leather armor, and held heavy weapons such as axes, hammers, machetes, and two-handed swords, and with things like ladders, they successfully climbed the city wall, becoming the first troops on the side of the Baltic Empire to climb the city wall.

This is the orc tribe that hid in the vast ice field in order to escape the cleansing of the Attila Empire many years ago, and this time they joined the offensive of the Baltic Empire, and they did not have the intention of revenge against the Attila Empire.

Several orcs who climbed the city wall were quickly defeated, and their broken bodies were thrown directly from the city wall, falling to the ground and blurred with flesh and blood, but the significance of successfully climbing the city wall still boosted the morale of other soldiers, what the orcs could do, there was no reason why they couldn't do it.

Moreover, the Baltic Empire has promised that if they can perform well in this battle, the previous dispute will not only be written off, but the Empire will also provide enough supplies for them to survive the cold winter, and the most beneficial ones can even live in the territory of the Empire, the barren, cold, and dangerous ice fields on the high side.

The warriors, who had been carried away by the blood, charged as if their bodies could not feel the pain, especially those orc warriors, who directly began to go berserk, using the method of exchanging lives for lives to open a gap in the city wall.

Originally, with their iron wills and the talent brought by their bloodlines, these orcs became extremely difficult, and now with the equipment provided by the Baltic Empire, their whole body is even armed to the teeth.

It is clear that some orcs with arrows stuck all over their bodies are still fighting with their weapons until their bodies are pierced or their heads are cut off.

Fortunately, the lightning defense line of the sky composed of thunderbirds was still able to hold on, and firmly controlled the sky so that the gargoyles could not enter, otherwise they would be awaited by a terrible bombardment.

Unfortunately, the number of orcs was still too small, and even if they managed to climb the city wall, they would not be able to hold out for too long before they would be shot down by the enemy.

Now the city walls are all die-hard loyalists of the Attila Empire, veterans who have survived many brutal battles, and these veterans have abandoned their glory in pursuit of the most successful survival rate and the most efficient way to kill the enemy.

Relying on the tall and strong walls, the soldiers of the Attila Empire had a temporary advantage, they firmly controlled the walls, and relied on the walls to kill and injure the enemy with great efficiency.

In just two hours, hundreds of people had already died under the city walls, and the same number of people had lost their combat effectiveness, and the corpses outside the city walls had reached a maximum of two meters.

With their delay in opening the situation, the first melee unit of the Baltic Empire entered the battlefield, looking like a surge of dirt, and the clay golem began to march forward with heavy steps.

Bows, javelins, throwing axes, and throwing stones

These weapons were no threat to the Clay Golems, and even if they were hit by the stone balls of the catapults, they were quickly repaired by relying on a steady stream of dirt and energy from the ground.

In the Attila Empire, the only ones who can confront these golems head-on are the White Bear and the Mammoth, but it is clear that the Attila Empire will not be able to engage the White Bear and the Mammoth into battle at this time.

In addition to these clay golems, the interior of the Baltic Empire is also home to more terrifying stone golems, steel golems, and in winter, ice golems.

It's still tentative, and it's enough to send out the clay golems, and the rest of the golems will wait until the actual final battle is on.

The Attila Empire didn't know this yet, because in previous battles, it was already very difficult for them to deal with clay golems and gargoyles, and they didn't even think about what kind of terrible golems more powerful than clay golems would behave in the battlefield.

"With an explosive arrow! with an explosive arrow!"

As the commander of the Attila Empire, the war directly issued an order to use explosive arrows, and as the enemy guessed, they did not have many explosive arrows, and there was no way to replenish them at all, and using one was one less.

War knows the horror of the clay golem, if they come into contact with the city wall, it will cause irreversible damage to the city wall, even if the city wall has been treated with anti-demons, it still looks very powerless in the face of [Fossil to Mud].

Precious explosive arrows are only available to marksmen, and each of their bows can turn a clay golem into a clay wreckage, annihilating them before they can approach the walls.

However, without giving them a respite, the second wave of clay golems was thrown into the battlefield, and began to march towards the side of the city wall, slow but very determined.

"Molotov cocktails!

Molotov cocktails made of alcohol and bottles were simple, inexpensive, and could serve as a good defense, which was already the limit of what the Attila Empire could do, which had little industrial base.

As the Molotov cocktails fell, the ferocious flames around the city walls quickly consumed everything that could be burned around them, and soon the air was filled with the smell of burning grease.

The soldiers who were resting on the edge of the walls, looking for an opportunity, were unlucky, and the flames were frantically licking their bodies, scorching their skins and climbing their flesh.

Frantically slapping the flames on their bodies with their hands, rolling back and forth on the ground quickly, but these were all futile and useless efforts, and the flames cruelly took their lives.

As the grease burned, the temperature of the flames began to rise further, and the clay golem that stepped into this battlefield, the clay on the surface began to dry and crack, and as the footsteps advanced, the clay kept falling from the body, and before it could get close to the city wall, it had already collapsed.

The raging flames were not so easily extinguished, the walls turned red in the heat of the flames, and the earth on the ground had begun to slowly melt and turn into magma.

The advancing soldiers had no choice but to turn around and leave the battlefield, and the siege towers, ladders, and ramming vehicles that remained in the battlefield soon began to spontaneously combust themselves.

There is no way for the battlefield on the ground to continue like this, so it can only wait for the flames to go out naturally, and wait for the high temperature to cool down gradually.

This method of defense was originally used by the Scandinavians in siege warfare with the sea of people in the Attila Empire, but now it is used by the Attila Empire in the Baltic Empire.
