Chapter 682: Cannon Fodder
The Red Maple Kingdom army beneath the walls began to move, and the players on the walls, as well as the thousands of "militiamen" who had been recruited through the efforts of the Heart of Nature Mission Mission, also stood behind the battlements, ready to fight.
The bed crossbow was pulled up, the muzzle of the magic crystal cannon was aimed at the outside of the city wall, and the magic spears and bows and arrows were also aimed at the army outside the city, only to attack after the opponent entered the firing range.
Yaye also raised the magic spear.
Although he is a warrior player and does not have a lot of magic power, this does not prevent him from having two guns while defending the city.
The wind is whistling in my ears, it seems to be the wind, the flags hanging high on the city wall are blowing, and the BGM of the original medieval city minor in the game system has also changed to make people's blood boil with the horn blowing "For the Glory of the Goddess", which makes Yaye feel that the entire small universe is about to burn.
At this moment, he felt that he was the protagonist of this world! He is the hero of this war!
He clenched his bowstring, his cheeks flushed red with excitement, and he was a little nervous.
Although reason told him that this was a game, the shock of the army when it was overwhelming, and the real stimulation felt by his five senses, still gave him an adrenaline rush.
And when he couldn't help but look at the wind bar around him, he found that this veteran player was also excited.
"Brother Wind, haven't you participated in several major wars? Have you also fought a city of half-orcs, are you still so excited? ”
Yaye couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, it's different! This is not at the same level as the human army, compared to the human army, the army and the city of other races are not at the same level at all, don't you think...... Is this what it feels like to be a medieval war? ”
Facing the wind, he replied as he adjusted the height of the crossbow on the bed.
Hearing his words, Ye Ye subconsciously looked back.
His gaze swept over the medieval splendor of the city of Augs behind him, the proudly standing fortress of Forzer on the hill, and the well-armed Red Maple Kingdom army outside the city, and then nodded approvingly.
Such a scene is really shocking, it really feels like being in a movie!
Thinking so, he couldn't help but call up the system and press the screenshot option.
And just as Ye Ye was taking a screenshot in the system, he heard a low curse from the wind bar on the side:
"Rub, humans are humans, this NPC's IQ is higher than that of orcs."
Ye Ye was slightly stunned, and then looked out of the city wall with his gaze facing the wind bar, only to see that the Red Maple Kingdom army outside the city had not yet marched to the range of the city wall and the fortress, so it stopped.
Then, the army slowly changed formation, and columns of soldiers pushed wooden baffles with wheels and left the formation and began to move in the direction of the city.
As far as the eye can see, there are probably more than 5,000 people.
They hid behind the baffle and moved slowly towards the city walls.
"It's an archer! Attack when they're in range! Aim your crossbow at those defense vehicles and smash them to pieces! ”
In the battlefield voice channel, there was a big shout from Ah Can, the all-star commander of the defense battle.
Archer!
Yaye clenched the magic gun in his hand and took a deep breath, ready to attack.
The defense vehicle under the city moved slowly, and finally came into range of the bed crossbow.
And at this moment, the roar of the all-star Ah Can sounded again in the voice channel:
"Bed crossbow listen to the order - attack!"
With his order, nearly a hundred sounds of breaking the air sounded on the city wall in unison.
I saw huge spears and arrows flying out with the brilliance of skills.
Most of them missed, but there were still a few targets that hit the target.
I saw that the defensive vehicles that were shot were instantly torn apart, revealing the archers behind them.
But even when the defense vehicles were destroyed, the archers did not retreat, but either retreated behind the other defense vehicles, or spread out in formation with their shields in hand, and continued to advance.
Soon, they were within range of bows and arrows.
"They're in range! Attack! ”
The player commands an order.
Hearing the command, Yaye took a deep breath and pulled the trigger of the magic gun.
For a moment, there was a roar on the city wall, and blue magic elemental bullets shot towards the archers outside the city with a rain of arrows.
And after a round of attacks, hundreds of archers who were moving slowly outside the city fell in an instant.
However, they still did not stop, but after continuing to move for a hundred steps, they finally stopped one after another, and began to draw their bows towards the city wall and counterattack.
Thousands of elite Imperial archers fired a volley, and players on the city walls were greeted with an astonishing rain of arrows.
"! Find a shield! Or find cover! Fast! ”
Faced with the wind, he was taken aback.
Looking at the oncoming rain of arrows, Yaye and Nana also hurriedly raised their shields.
The arrows flew down, and yes felt a heavy blow from the shield, almost crushing him to the ground.
And at this moment, he heard a sudden exclamation from the face of the wind bar beside him:
"! It's a stone bullet, coconut Nana quickly dodge! ”
Hearing the eager voice of the wind bar, yes's heart pounded.
Suddenly, the hairs on his whole body stood on end, as if he was being targeted by something terrifying, and a strong sense of crisis came to his heart......
That's one of his skills, Danger Prediction.
He didn't care to look up and see what was happening, so he quickly picked up the girl next to him and jumped to the side.
And as soon as he jumped to the side, there was a deafening loud bang in his ears, and a wave of heat rushed towards him, carrying countless flying rubble.
Yaye looked at the place where he had just stood with Nana, and saw that it had been smashed by a huge stone projectile, and the masonry was shattered, and the cracks in the wall extended far away......
Broken stones were everywhere, still burning with flames, and choking black smoke shot into the sky.
Looking at this scene, Ye Ye's face couldn't help but turn white, he didn't dare to imagine what would have happened if he and Nana hadn't dodged just now.
Although it is a game, it can be resurrected, but it ...... Such a real scene brings people's spiritual impact but absolutely.
Even though he has gradually become familiar with the rhythm and bloodiness of "Elven Country" in the battles one after another, at this moment, yes still feels his throat dry.
"It's a trebuchet! They used trebuchets! , what about the Divine Defense Barrier? What did the guild do?! ”
Facing the wind, he cursed.
And not long after he finished cursing, another exclamation came from all over the city wall.
Yaye raised his head, and then saw a series of "meteorites" in the sky dragging black smoke trails and constantly burning.
The meteorites slammed through the sky in a curvy arc towards the city of Augs.
In Yeye's shocked gaze, he saw that these "falls" fell all over the city, easily smashing houses to pieces and causing raging fires......
On the city walls, you can see the panicked citizens in the city, you can hear the exclamations of those human NPCs, and you can hear the cries of children and the screams of women......
The rain of arrows continued to rain in from outside the walls, and from time to time players and militiamen who had been unfortunate enough to be shot by arrows could be seen falling, but the corpses of the former would slowly disappear, while the latter would fall in a pool of blood and never move again.
Ye Ye even saw a few silver bosses who played monsters in the wild on weekdays, but at this moment, they were easily hit by a few bows and arrows shot from outside the city, and they died directly.
To make matters worse, he was unfortunately hit directly by a "meteorite" that fell from the sky, and after the huge roar, there was not even a trace of blood in sight.
The smell of blood and burnt smell irritated his nostrils, and he shivered coldly, and reached out to wipe the cold sweat that had broken out on his head.
He looked at the players on the city wall who were constantly shooting out of the city, and then looked at the dense gray soldiers outside the city through the shooting hole, and let out a deep breath......
At this moment, his hands were trembling.
Although he was looking forward to the revelry before the war began, when the war actually came, he realized that when a game was real enough to be true...... The shock is far from being described in a few words.
At this moment, he felt that he was actually quite small.
In this war, no matter how powerful the player is, he is just an insignificant soldier.
And at this moment, with bursts of cheers, Ye Ye saw that a golden pillar of light suddenly rose into the sky in the direction of the Forzer Fortress......
The pillar of light burst into the sky and spread rapidly in all directions, eventually turning into a pale golden defensive shield.
The defensive shield enveloped the entire city, except for the vertical side of the wall, leaving a gap that was probably less than three meters high.
There was a whistling sound, and several meteorites dragging billowing smoke fell, only this time, they only smashed on the defensive shield, causing a circle of ripples......
Then, in the golden light, those meteorites turned directly to ashes and disappeared.
"Hahahaha! The magic defense barrier has been activated, and I see how arrogant their trebuchets are! Hahaha! ”
On the side, there was a loud laugh in the face of the wind.
The warrior player glanced up at the sky, then at Yaye, who didn't seem to have come back to his senses, and patted him on the shoulder:
"What a daze! Fight! The first time you fight this kind of big war, you will not be used to it, and you will get used to it after a while! ”
Listening to the words of the wind bar, yes nodded.
He took a few deep breaths, adjusted his condition, and then picked up the magic gun again and joined the fight.
With the protection of the Divine Defense Barrier, the players on the city wall are much more relaxed.
Although the arrows on both sides are still intertwined, there is no need to worry about something suddenly falling on the top of their heads.
Ye Ye fired indiscriminately at the city wall, but he didn't kill a single one, and he regretted that he didn't have the [Heart Arrow] skill.
Gradually, after discovering that the trebuchets could no longer damage the city walls, the Red Maple army outside the city also changed again.
The sound of the horn sounded again, and the military formation changed again.
The black-pressed Red Maple soldiers diverted out of the army, carrying the ladders used for siege, and began to move in the direction of Augs City.
"Hehe, are you going to storm it? There wasn't even a siege tower? Coconut, beware, it's the best time to harvest XP! ”
The side faced the wind and smiled.
Yaye nodded, took out a bottle of magic potion from his bosom and drank it to replenish the demon, and then raised the magic gun again.
Outside the city walls, the Red Maple soldiers besieging the city were fast.
They seemed to be insane, screaming and screaming as they rushed in the direction of the city walls.
Elemental bullets and arrows rained down on the players, and the soldiers fell like wheat harvests, but even so, they didn't stop.
It's just that when these soldiers of the Red Maple Kingdom approached the city wall, Ye Ye frowned slightly.
These besieging soldiers...... The equipment seems to be much, much worse than the archer just now.
Many of them were not even armoured, but wore coarse black, white, and gray robes, simple hoods and white turbans on their heads, and only a weapon in their hands.
"Is this cannon fodder troops? Light infantry? ”
Yaye said with a frown.
"Huh? Do human armies also have siege cannon fodder troops? Didn't the intelligence say that they were all heavily armored soldiers attacking the city? ”
The face of the wind on the side was also stunned.
The transcendent power of the Seggs world is the mainstay, even on the battlefield, the professional is definitely the main force of the main force.
With the exception of some intelligent races that drive servant armies such as goblins to act as siege cannon fodder, most races actually prefer to use heavily armored transcendents when attacking cities.
Especially humans.
The Holy Mania Empire of mankind is best at heavy armor + siege towers.
This is also the homework that players have done in advance, and they have even been ready for a bloody battle on the city wall for a long time.
At this moment, looking at these poorly equipped soldiers outside the city wall, it was a little unexpected.
However, despite the poor equipment, the morale of these soldiers is eerily high.
They seem to have completely left life and death behind, even if they charge and fall, but no one retreats.
There are too many of them......
Batches of battle deaths, but there are always more soldiers to replenish from behind.
Finally...... Braving the arrows and magic of the players, these mad soldiers rushed under the walls.
They carried the ladder to the wall and began to climb from the bottom to the top.
"Coconut, you're ready to fight!"
Facing the wind, he reminded.
Yaye nodded, put away the magic gun, and drew his longsword.
The first Red Maple soldiers soon made it to the city walls and fought the players.
And yes yes also met a short and thin red maple soldier with a white turban.
The soldier raised a short sword and rushed towards Yaye with a roar.
Yaye's eyes flashed, and he stabbed out the long sword in his hand.
To his consternation, it was only a tentative attack, but he easily plunged the blade into the soldier's chest......
Not transcendental!
This thought instantly crossed Yeye's mind.
A slightly cold wind blew the soldier's turban off.
In Yaye's stunned gaze, a wrinkled face was revealed.
It was an old man's face.
Moreover, still female.
This is an old woman.
She looked at Yaye with a hint of fear, a hint of despair, a hint of madness, and a hint of relief......
She coughed twice and then turned to ashes.
Leaving only Yaye, who was holding the long sword, stayed where he was.
It was not the light infantry that was besieging the city.
They
It's civilians.
