Unaffected by the defensive deployment, the overlord continued to rush desperately towards the castle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the muzzles that are always ready are already in place, when the striker of the hegemonic body just rushes into the range of fire. All the medium cannons opened fire at once, and the cannonballs rained head-on towards the overlord. The smoke of dust immediately submerged the following overlords, and a wall of smoke rose throughout the entire circle of Winterfell. This formation was even more powerful in the roar, although there was no resistance to the overlord, but an unexpected situation appeared for them.
Just when the dust and smoke were about to be blown away by the wind, the medium cannon had already blown up the stormtroopers at the front of the hegemonic body in all directions, and they were reloading the shells. A blue-black wall of thorns suddenly grew, and this was the first circle of defense laid by Rui Ling and Long Maniac. And the timing has naturally been calculated a long time ago, with the addition of Long Maniac. The speed of the thorny stinger wall could grow more than twice as fast, and the subsequent overlords all rushed into it before they could react. The power was immediately manifested, and all the overlords that crashed into the thorn wall showed signs of poisoning.
Although, this group of hegemons tore apart the thorns that entangled them. But the stinger had been inserted deep into the flesh, and the toxin had quickly entered the blood of the overlord's body. On the one hand, it hinders the recovery of the body, thus squeezing out the stinger. On the other hand, toxins are produced rapidly, and the body functions of the hegemon body decline rapidly. The speed of the overlord warriors who broke through the thorny poison wall slowed down significantly, and the color of their bodies began to change. This is the power of the Thorn Poison Wall designed by Ruiling, and more importantly, this poisonous overlord cannot be dissolved at all.
So, it's a matter of time before it falls. Except for a few overlords who passed through the gap in front of the thorns, most of them were hit. Ruiling found that using poison was the most effective way to deal with the overlord, and it was much more efficient than long-range arrows. Of course, the key is that Ruiling's toxin is a mixed poison, using the poison formula on earth. This makes the body of the overlord have no ability to resist, and once poisoned, it is inevitable to die.
The second round of medium artillery has been adjusted to the position of the attack, and the attack range has been reduced to match the effect of the Wall of Thorns. It just happened to hit the group of hegemonic warriors who broke through the thorny poisonous wall, and they couldn't dodge it at all, and this was another circle of fallen cannon fodder. Those overlords who seized the opportunity to pass through the wall of thorns were also cleared in this round of attacks, and there were no survivors. After all, the coverage of more than 4,000 medium-sized cannons is so wide, and a single salvo can knock out a whole circle of overlord stormtroopers.
Ruiling's formation has not yet used the combo technique, and they have already begun to attack. Specially select the overlords who are not deeply poisoned for point killing, and those who are deeply poisoned will let them get close to the castle. As long as the bodies of these hegemons decline to a certain extent, they will not have the ability to go berserk, and their ability to resist will also be greatly reduced. It can be directly destroyed by small cannons, and this result will be a morale blow to the overlord who is charging at full strength.
The blue-black wall of thorns played a vital role in the defense, and all the overlords who passed through that barrier were all weakened in combat effectiveness. When they were the first to enter the attack range of the small cannon, the first overlords who also had the ability to attack the castle were smiling. They drew their long stone spears and were about to throw them with all their might. They obviously felt tired, and the reason for this was naturally not yet understood by them. But something even more desperate happened to them, and more than 40,000 small cannons were fired in unison.
Originally, it was just to defeat the stone spear offensive of the overlord, but the result also made the dwarven warriors ecstatic. Because when most of the small cannons in the first round hit the body of the overlord, they actually knocked them all down. Originally, these attacks could only distract the hegemons, and even injuries rarely appeared. Even if he injured some parts, he recovered quickly, and he didn't have much of an offensive effect at all. But this time it was completely different, the overlord who was hit was killed directly before he even had time to throw the stone spear.
The numerous cannonballs knocked out a lot of blood holes in the bodies of these tyrants, and also shed cyan poisonous blood. Except for a few who were still standing without being hit, the first group of overlords who rushed to the castle were killed. This result surprised the overlord warriors who crossed the thorn poison wall but didn't care too much about it! How can this be fought? When did the dwarves' small cannons become so powerful, and there were so many of them, they couldn't be avoided at all. How can this castle be captured?
Just when the hegemonic army was moved and began to hesitate. The senior commanders and commanders of the overlord immediately took action, but the vanguard of the overlord had been wiped out by nearly ten thousand. Because today's hegemon is an intensive offensive, it specially selects the position with the weakest firepower in the dwarf castle to charge. As a result, this first wave of charges consumed nearly a legion's combat strength, and of course the greatest casualties were generated under the attack of small artillery.
The commander of the overlord naturally thought that this situation was caused by the blue-black thorn wall, and the height of this thorn wall had exceeded the overlord's jumping ability. So, they came separately in the direction of the dense charge. Attack the Wall of Thorns violently with your energy, and in an instant, the gap in the Wall of Thorns will be punched out. A large number of overlord warriors came alive again, passing quickly through the gap. Although the growth rate of thorns is also fast, they can only deal with some of the overlord warriors who are close to the gap.
A large number of hegemons continued to rush forward, still sniping at the medium cannons, of course. The attack pressure of the Ruiling people naturally increased, and they consumed the overlord who was approaching through continuous volleys. Soon, the overlord at the front finally rushed close to the castle and reached its own attack range. The small cannons even began to bombard frantically, hoping to smash all the stone spears of the overlord. This attack naturally cleaned up those poisoned overlords, and only the unpoisoned overlords continued to start throwing stone spears and advancing steadily.
The firing range of the medium cannon was immediately adjusted, and the tactic of sniping behind the thorn wall was abandoned. Fully cooperate with small cannons to replenish the saturation attack of the hegemon, and at the same time, use the attack of super giant cannons in areas with high density. The combat power of the overlord is being consumed rapidly, but there are also a small number of overlords who have broken through the fire blockade of the two types of cannons. Began to fight back vigorously, and the castle began to be attacked. Although the entire siege time is still very short, the entire offensive and defensive battle has entered a white-hot stage.
The people of Ruiling have finally started to use their combo skills! The Bagua Wheel of the Hexagram Array! This combination is like a machine gun with a rotating barrel, firing in continuous bursts and extremely fast! Thirty-six arrows are fired each time, and they don't stop until they run out of energy. In addition, the arrows are the range that supports the entire castle circle, constantly tracking the target attack.
