Chapter 122: Battering Hammer

As the Norsland army drew closer and closer, once again entering the most tragic field, many Norsland soldiers began to rescue their comrades who were struggling in pools of blood, and quickly carried them off the battlefield.

'Boom!', a boarding car finally approached the westernmost part of the northern city where there was no fire, the huge wooden plank was lowered, and more than 100 soldiers of the Kingdom of Norsland with shields and spears rushed to the head of the city, shouting and rushing towards the head of the west city, the caravan formed a passage, and more soldiers of the Kingdom of Norsland climbed up from the stairs inside, and rushed up the city wall continuously.

But the two thousand crossbow archers of the Delman army had been waiting for a long time, when the Norslan army had just rushed through the corner of the city, immediately a thousand arrows were in unison, and the dense arrows rained down the path of the Norsland Kingdom soldiers, within seventy paces, the powerful crossbow arrows shot through their shields, and the Norsland Kingdom soldiers were immediately killed and wounded, and the first batch of soldiers who rushed up were almost all wiped out, and they retreated one after another, and were suppressed in the narrow corner of the northern city.

At this moment, the nightmare of the Norslan army came again, and dozens of magic crystal cannonballs were fired from the east and west heads of the two wings at the same time, although they could not shoot eight hundred steps away like the trebuchets of the Norsland Kingdom, but they could shoot five hundred steps at the farthest, and it was five hundred steps. There were 300 steps and 200 steps, far and near, front and back, three distances staggered, and exploded violently in the dense Norsland army, as if stirring up countless blood-colored waves in the black ocean, a large number of Northland Kingdom soldiers were blown over, and the Northland Kingdom soldiers wailed and screamed, followed by dozens of magic crystal shells, one after another violently exploded in the crowd, blood and flesh flying, dead bodies pillowed, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

King Gravel was already in a state of semi-madness, his eyes were red as he watched large swaths of his army being killed, and he shouted hoarsely, "The trebuchet comes forward and burns the east and west cities to the ground!"

The trebuchet rumbled forward, and walked about two hundred paces, 'Boom!' The ground fired incendiary bombs, dozens of burning fireballs swept through the sky, crossed the north city wall, and hit the east and west sides of the city, on the west city, a huge fireball roared, at the corner of the very edge, there were thousands of Norslan soldiers who had rushed to the city were hiding behind the corner and Delman army in a bow and arrow battle, they never dreamed that the fire would burn their heads, more than a dozen fireballs hit their hiding place, in an instant, the city head was engulfed in flames, the soldiers of the Norsland Kingdom wailed, hundreds of burning people raised their hands and ran in all directions, and they fell headlong without running a few steps。

But the biggest impact was the boarding car, the four boarding cars that were just close to the city were hit by fireballs, and immediately ignited a raging fire, and thousands of Norslan troops gathered in the boarding car were in a mess, trampling each other down and fleeing for their lives, and they were engulfed in fire one step later, and all of them were burned alive in the boarding car.

A hundred paces away from the head of the west city, the crossbowmen of the Delman army also suffered the impact of the fire, in an instant, hundreds of Delman soldiers were engulfed in the fire, the soldiers of the Delman army retreated back, with the fire after the fire, the flames have approached the magic crystal cannon on the head of the city, and there are magic crystal shells next to the magic crystal cannon, and the crisis begins to appear.

At this time, a soldier rushed to the city and shouted: "The marshal has an order, the magic crystal cannon immediately retreats to the city! The marshal has an order, the magic crystal cannon immediately goes down the city!"

The situation was extremely critical, thousands of soldiers rushed to the city with magic crystal cannons, and those who could not withdraw were instantly engulfed in flames, and the fire of the Norslan army was overwhelming, and the entire northern part of Blackstone Fort was plunged into a raging fire, and the city was in chaos, and the terrified residents screamed and retreated to the south of the city, and many people could not escape, and were engulfed in flames, 'Boom!' With a loud bang, a magic crystal cannonball burned and exploded in the fire, blowing up the corridor of the lower city, and the last hundred or so Delman soldiers had no way to escape and died tragically in the fire.

One by one, the magic crystal cannonballs crossed the city wall and projected towards the dense Norsland Kingdom soldiers outside the city, when a swarthy magic crystal cannonball flew out, the Norsland Kingdom soldiers were immediately terrified and rushed to flee for their lives, but the Norslan army was too dense, and every magic crystal cannonball exploded, and dozens of people were always killed by the explosion.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Norsland retreated again and again, but were driven back again and again, and King Gravel had a strict order to take Blackstone Fort at all costs and capture Alonso alive.

At this time, King Gravel pinned all his chances on the battering ram, and he also saw that most of the magic crystal cannonballs fired by the Delman army from the inner city were concentrated on both sides, and there were almost no in the middle of the city, which brought him a glimmer of hope for taking the city gate.

The earth shook, thousands of soldiers of the Kingdom of Norsland desperately pushed the battering ram forward step by step, the horses that originally pulled it had been paralyzed by the fierce battle, and refused to work hard, only to use manpower, this battering ram is larger than the siege used by the Delman army, only the body of the batter is ten zhang, plus the wooden frame, it is fifteen zhang long, four zhang high, and it takes three thousand people to push.

This battering ram was the weapon used to capture the town of Rayleigh, and the Norslands called it 'Wrath of the Gods', and was made by 2,000 craftsmen in Golgaron.

Three thousand Norsland Kingdom soldiers shouted rhythmically, and the battering rams rumbled forward, and two fireballs fell in front of the city gate, blazing into the sky, and the battering rams advanced in flames and explosions.

At this time, a magic crystal cannonball fell in the crowd next to the battering ram, and exploded violently, a powerful wave of air blew dozens of people away, and the blue iron nails scattered and burst out, and there was a scream, the battering ram tilted to the left sharply, the iron chain rattled, and the huge mallet body shook left and right, frightening the two Norslan soldiers to shout in unison, and the battering ram finally stabilized.

The battering ram continued to move forward, and walked a hundred steps, and finally arrived at the city gate, at this time, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Kingdom of Northland struggled to pull up the iron chain, roared and stepped back, the mallet body was gradually pulled up, an officer raised the flag and waved down, all the troops put the chain together, the mallet body smashed towards the city gate, like a shocking blow, 'boom!', everyone's heart was almost shaken out, the city gate shook violently, and the newly repaired city bricks once again cracked.

Inside the city, the huge impact force still made the city wall shake, like an earthquake, and the two large stones on the far side fell, almost killing the Delman army below.

Seeing that the situation was not good, one of the Delman officers ran to the rear, and he rushed through the flames, and soon found Alonso, who was commanding the crystal cannon.

"Marshal, the enemy is attacking the gate with a battering ram, and the force is too strong for the gate to resist!" the officer reported
