Chapter 511: Steel Rock Siege Battle (7)

On the other side of the battlefield.

The Northern Border Alliance was also silent, and everyone looked stunned.

Only the dwarven engineer master Thomas from the "Sea Gate Pass" was full of pride.

He was pleased with the performance of his new invention on the battlefield.

The principle of the flame cannon is not complicated, but it has extremely high requirements for the operator, and a careless accident may explode the chamber and cause catastrophic consequences, so Tomathan himself went into battle.

The scorching fuel oil and boiling tar mixed into an unstable compound in the special chamber, and then the air was pumped into the barrel, and the chamber pressure suddenly rose, and the whole cannon seemed to explode at any moment, at which point the dwarven engineer on the side saw the opportunity to stuff a piece of ignited cotton soaked in grease into the nozzle in front of the barrel, and then released the high pressure in the barrel.

In this way, the mixed liquid in the cannon will be ignited instantly, and at the same time, it will spray forward like a tumbling fire dragon, and according to the direction of the pre-correction, the burning oil will draw a delicate parabola in the air, and fall accurately to the center of the enemy.

The hapless orc boys had just driven the shrimp out of the city walls, and before they could go on a killing spree, they were hit by this new weapon, and the burst of fuel instantly ignited hundreds of greenskins, like a deadly flower of flame blooming surrounded by layers of green leaves.

This is the tragic scene that the old rotten tooth saw after rushing out.

Whether it was the few surviving orcs or the human soldiers on the other side who were ready to continue to fight to the death, they couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts in the face of such a tragic situation.

Even though the burning flames caused the temperature to rise sharply, many people were already sweating profusely, but they still couldn't dispel the chill from their hearts.

But this is a battlefield after all, life and death are only a thought, and just a few seconds later, the battle starts again.

It's just that the morale of the "Broken Claw Tribe" has obviously suffered a heavy blow, and it doesn't have the sharpness of the previous counterattack at all.

Fortunately, it is the same on the human side, and they don't dare to rush up in a swarm, after all, the tragic situation just now has long been deeply imprinted in everyone's minds, in case there will be another fire bomb like that, wouldn't everyone die together?

Fire does not distinguish between us and us.

The higher-ups of the Human Alliance also have the same doubts, seeing that the overall situation has been decided, they are now more concerned about the losses of their own men, and no one wants to see their soldiers being consumed by flames for no reason when they have already gained the upper hand.

However, they seemed to be thinking too much, and after firing a cannonball, Thomas had already achieved the purpose of testing the new invention, and did not mean to continue firing, but asked someone to push back the powerful flame cannon.

The money given by Havelock only included the cannon, and this fire bomb was an extra gift from him, mainly to see how effective the new weapon would be in actual combat, and what to do if it was accidentally broken after a few more hits, and these special fire charges were not cheap.

He Thomason has never been in a loss-making business.

Seeing that the cannon that seemed to come from hell was pushed away, the top leaders of the coalition army were finally relieved, and with a wave of their hands, they sent out all the remaining elite troops in their hands, ready to take advantage of the situation to enter the city.

At the forefront was the "Iron Cross Knights" led by Papan, and he also held back for a long time, then he took the lead and rushed towards the place with the most orcs.

The human soldiers who were fighting on the front line also received this good news, and they also burst out with amazing combat effectiveness without worries, coupled with the absolute numerical superiority, they quickly beat the orc boys who rushed out later.

The old rotten tooth is also among them, and now that the momentum is not right, his situation is very embarrassing.

The outside is full of shrimp, and more and more gathered, with this bit of cavalry under his command, I am afraid that I will only rush halfway, and all of them will die, but it is not a way to stay in place, there is not enough space to charge, and the power of the cavalry cannot be exerted.

Hell knows where these shrimps come from with so many weird things!

Blame the dwarfs! If I didn't go to see Second Brother Mao this time, I must catch one back, chop it up and feed it to Squeeg!

In addition to being depressed and angry, the old rotten tooth did not forget his own work, and let go of a few little aaagh! Magic, slow down the speed of the opponent's attack, but this is only a drop in the bucket, and it doesn't have much effect.

The tide is over.

The old goblin's cloudy red eyes turned around a few times, and he finally made up his mind and no longer hesitated.

What's that, boss, what I said just now may have to be withdrawn, it seems that this "steel rock" can't be held, I can only take the boys to withdraw first, and then take us to take revenge when you come back!

The old rotten tooth is retreating, and he is ready to bring the people he can to take with him, and walk through the tunnel with the little bells.

However, there is a green proverb that says well, when Brother Engage closes the door, Brother Mao will sneak open a window.

Just as the old shaman was about to turn around and return to the city with the goblin riders, something new happened.

In the formation of the human coalition army, the cannon position that was still firing continuously, the seemingly ordinary land suddenly exploded, accompanied by smoke, clods of dirt and gravel, dozens of strange figures came out of the ground at once.

Before the unsuspecting dwarves could react, the "creatures" that appeared out of thin air pierced their hearts with their ornate long-handled knives, and the armor from the hands of the dwarven blacksmiths was like tissue paper, and did not protect them at all.

"Enemy attack!"

While the others were still stunned, Havelock shouted not far away, and at the same time, he drew the hammer from his waist and was the first to charge towards the sudden appearance of the enemy.

It's a bunch of creatures with ugly and terrifying appearances.

Their upper body is a skeleton with ancient bronze decorations, and they hold a long-handled sharp knife dripping blood in their hands, so forget it, the key is the lower body, which is actually a long, spiraling snake tail!

It was this terrifying appearance that made most of the human soldiers afraid to come forward and fight them after the attack.

"Don't be afraid! It's a Tomb Walker! An undead creature in the land of the dead to the south, there are so many of us, smash them to death! By the way, remember not to look them in the eye! ”

Havelock was well-informed and recognized the origin of these strange creatures at a glance.

It is a kind of structure from Guni Hekhara, a venomous snake in the desert, a tomb walker.

Legend has it that if you look directly into their eyes, they will turn into a sand statue that will blow away when the wind blows.

So the "skinner" made a special addition at the end.

Once sentinels stationed over the vast territory of Nehekhara, these serpentine monsters often lurked silently underground, launching deadly attacks if outsiders broke in.

With this move, they had killed almost all of the dwarves, with the exception of Thomasson, who was not only a brilliant master engineer but also a formidable warrior as the leader of the Engineers' Guild, and the two Gravewalkers who attacked him had been hammered into a pile of parts.

The same goes for the other Tomb Walkers, who assassinate all the dwarves who operated the cannon with their special ability to travel underground, but at the same time fell into the encirclement of the human coalition and were quickly wiped out one by one under the leadership of Havelock.

But just as the Skinners had smashed the last assassin's skull with his own hands, he noticed a faint vibration coming from under his feet.

At the same time, there was also a commotion from the north side of the coalition camp, and Havelock frowned, secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head in the direction from which the sound came, and then saw an unexpected and terrible picture.

Skeletons resembling an ocean were charging at the coalition forces outside the city.
