Chapter 37: Victory in the First Battle (1)
Attacking Ramil is not a daring bandit or a rebel who has lost his armor, but a chilling tide of beasts. Unlike previous years, this time the beasts were more vicious and disciplined, and from the city walls, there were countless beasts entrenched in the wilderness, and their terrifying appearance and low roar made people shudder.
The soldiers on the city walls had never seen such a bad situation, and even the most optimistic soldiers would never dare to say that this battle could be won, and what could support them to survive was nothing more than the hope of survival and the countless inhabitants of the city.
The walls of Ramil were very high, fortified to defend against the tide of beasts, and they were forty feet high, and the walls were wide enough to carry ten soldiers side by side, and the walls were piled with arrows, stones, and boiling oil. The walls are very smooth, and the dwarven craftsmanship has made the large stones so tightly that there is no place to settle on them.
Insonia had already deployed his defenses, and he had deployed most of his forces behind the front walls, towers, and towers, and there was no doubt that if the enemy were to attack, he would choose this weakest position.
On the walls were most of the infantry and mages, able to fend off the beasts that could climb the walls, and then some of the archers. Inside the towers are lookouts, horn soldiers, and marksmen, who need to occupy the most advantageous positions in order to use their might. Behind the walls were large groups of archers lined up, followed by massive catapults with countless stones and fuel piled around them. Behind the gates are fierce cavalry, and as long as the battle is deadlocked, these riders can rush out of the city to change the tide of battle.
On the front of the rampart of Ramil Fortress, Sanssouci and a group of three hundred mages stood on the city wall in unison, one hundred of them were the first mage team to which Sanssouci belonged, and the other two hundred were the mages of the defenders, even in this era, mages were still not common.
The magicians of the city defense army were also divided into two squads, and it was their second squad that fought with Sanssouci that had participated in a battle a few days ago and was resting at this time, and because of this, this time the defense of the city was handed over to the second squad.
Standing on such a high wall for the first time, for the battle that is about to begin, Carefree has given up the unrealistic idea of becoming famous in the first battle and turning the tide of the battle on her own, and only in the real face of death and war can she realize that she is so small.
On the high city wall, leaning against the wall, touching the weapon in his hand, at this time, he saw that it was dark outside Ramiel, and all kinds of low-level demonic beasts could be seen in the distance, and there were also many flying demonic beasts in the air.
Time passed slowly, and the beasts in the distance were already impatiently waiting, and one after another low roars rang out, and they all rushed towards Ramil with a roar of rage. Almost at the same time, horns sounded from several towers at the same time, and everyone clenched their weapons tightly.
The speed of the monster is very fast, outside of Ramiel, there are a lot of traps and corners artificially arranged, and there are constantly wild beasts tripped by traps, and then trampled into meat by the beast tide behind, but these can only create some chaos, but can not stop their attack.
The first catapults within the city walls had been loaded with burning boulders, and far away, no one could still smell the pungent smell of sulfur and oil, and then with the tooth-squeaking of the catapults, the throwing arms bounced violently, and the boulders on top also rose with them, and smashed into the beast tide in the distance like meteors with black smoke.
The originally gray sky was covered by these boulders, many flying monsters were hit, and they didn't even have a chance to scream, and the monsters on the ground were even more miserable, almost unavoidable, so each boulder could hit a large piece of monsters, these boulders carried huge kinetic energy, and after landing, the shock wave could always bring down a piece, and then there was a splash of gravel, after the development of alchemists, these burning stones could be firmly on the ignited monsters until they burned to ashes.
The defenders' massive attacks caused chaos in the beast tide, and the wails and angry roars of the monsters rose one after another. But the human soldiers were not merciful, and almost one wave passed, and the second wave of boulders arrived again. Well-trained soldiers attack in echelons under their command, striving to maximize the damage.
Even though the beast tide was wounded, it still rushed desperately to death. Then came the time of the archers and warriors.
"Forty-five degrees! Twelve o'clock direction! From behind the walls came a muffled order, followed by the sound of a bowstring taut.
"Shoot the arrows!" After that, there was the sound of countless arrows swishing through the air, at this moment, the arrows that covered the sky and the sun did not need a target at all, the enemies outside the city wall were too dense, and in an instant, countless beasts turned into hedgehogs, the fragile ones were killed directly, and the tenacious ones could only lie in the dirt and wail. However, these fallen beasts were quickly compensated for by the dense tide of beasts that arrived behind.
This devastating sight made even the battle-hardened warriors look sideways, with meteor-like burning stones streaking across the sky in the distance and arrows raining down in the distance.
Worry-free secretly changed color, although the demonic beasts outside suffered heavy losses, but they were all low-level demonic beasts, looking at those beasts that had no power to fight back, I am afraid that there were only three or four levels, and I was slightly puzzled in my heart, so I patted the shoulder of the magician next to me and said: "Brother, why are the beast tides all low-level demonic beasts?" It's a lot of money, but it's not to be feared! ”
Hearing a brother, the middle-aged man next to him was speechless, looking at the boy in front of him who was at most ten years old, and calling him, a man in his forties, a brother, really weird.
Looking at the magician equipment of the carefree bag, he was even more speechless, thinking to himself which of the families that released this kid to show off, and he didn't even know what to say, but for the question of the handsome young man in front of him, he still said helplessly: "It's just an appetizer for the beast tide now, the main force is still behind, and you won't ask so when you pour." ”
"I see. I'll just say, A-level mission, then Brother Xie Xie! Hehe! Worry-free learned from Long Tian's appearance, and patted the middle-aged man's shoulder very heroically, and said with a smile.
The middle-aged man was speechless, the young man in front of him was more than a little or two shorter than himself, but he patted him on the shoulder, this scene was as weird as it was. It's like you patting your father on the shoulder and saying, "Boy, I'll cover you in the future!" Putting away his thoughts, the middle-aged man smiled back at Wuwu with facial cramps.
In the middle of the conversation between the two, the beast tide was less than fifty meters away from the city wall, and all the archers were ready to attack, hoping to launch an attack in time after the mage cast the first round of magic to knock out all these low-level magical beasts.
After all, it is much more difficult to deal with the middle and high-level Warcrafts at that time, even if the Warcraft has been attacked by magic, but the strength is only a slight loss, so it is not a wise choice to fight hard with the middle and high-level Warcraft, although the battle merit is important, but what is the point of losing one's life!
Seeing that the beast was about to descend on the city, the commander-in-chief of the magicians on the city wall shouted: "Fire, wind, and lightning magicians have launched group attack skills!" ”
