"Chapter 307: Breaking the City"
The inner city of White Oak had more than 50,000 defenders, which is almost as large as the population of a small city combined. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the number of our coalition troops under the city was less than 200,000 at its peak, and 90% of them were skeleton soldiers. And now our military strength is seriously weakened, even if it is replenished for a few days, there are only a hundred thousand, and skeleton soldiers still account for the majority. According to the requirements of the siege force, we should not attack it, because although we have more troops, we actually do not have an advantage.
The hard attack method has proven to be ineffective before, so we have added a lot of methods, and the Skeleton Giant happens to be an important part of our attack this time. The kingdom doesn't know that the Skeleton Giant ignores life and death and can be resurrected indefinitely, so the main target of the attack is the Skeleton Giant, and this is exactly what we planned.
The skeleton army is still attacking frantically, relying on the speed bonus to rush to the bottom of the city wall and stack Arhats again, and those large skeletons are also under the city wall as a foundation, and the rest of the skeletons are also stepping on them and constantly climbing up. The bodies of these large skeletons are much stronger than those of skeleton soldiers, so even if they attack from above the city walls, they will not cause the massive skeleton towers to collapse.
This kind of offensive made the kingdom even more convinced that this was a general attack launched by the other side, and according to the supply level of the other party, their remaining supplies should not last for a few days. Considering the fierce but not frantic offensive of the opposing commander, Seon Horner believes that the other side will not hold out until the food runs out, and if the general attack cannot take the inner city of White Oak, then they will probably withdraw their troops while there are still supplies to consume, and stop in the valley area where the original battle was fought (now of course occupied by the coalition forces), and use this as the dividing line to confront the north and south of the kingdom.
This kind of thinking is very common in the kingdom's army, and most of the soldiers believe that this is a full-scale general attack that the other side has to launch, which is why the other side will have so many strange troops that have never been seen before, as long as they can repel the opponent's attack, then they will be equivalent to winning. Therefore, the troops of the kingdom were very brave at this time, constantly firing arrows from the city walls, shooting at the skeleton troops under the city, as well as the main troops hidden in the skeletons. They threw rocks down continuously, smashing the skeleton troops that were stacked more than ten meters high. Rolling logs tumbled off the top of the city walls, smashing half of the ten-meter-tall skull towers, but because the two-headed skeleton warriors were supported underneath, they did not collapse and disintegrate like the previous siege.
The waters of the moat rose again, trying to crush the coalition forces preparing to attack the outer city. The magicians of the kingdom have released joint magic, thick water columns, violent tornadoes, and magic attacks in the direction of the outer city, and in order to maintain such a long attack distance, the consumption has also increased greatly. And the coalition mage troops also released their skills together, the flame wreath suddenly appeared on both sides of the river, quickly evaporating the river water that rushed up to the city wall, and the black fog of the witch also began to compress, the rich dark magic suppressed all the elemental power, and the surging elemental frenzy was quickly dispersed by the dark power, although the increase on their own side was reduced, but the opponent's offensive was also directly disintegrated.
The Skeleton Giants kept throwing bombs at the top of the wall, each of which caused a lot of damage to the defenders on the wall. Not only that, the Skeleton Giant will occasionally throw some high-level skeleton soldiers at the head of the city, three Skeleton Giants can throw a dozen high-level skeleton warriors onto the city head at a time, and the undead troops in the sky will also continue to drop some skeleton soldiers downward, and even some black-winged undead will carry the Goblin Pitcher on their backs to form an additional output ability in the air. The skeletons that were thrown at the top of the city would soon be dealt with, but they did cause a lot of trouble for the kingdom defenders on the city walls. In particular, witches will also "rebel" against some of their dead comrades, which also causes a lot of chaos on the city walls.
There are indeed some clergy of the Holy See in the city, and they also have a strong power of Light. But after they had stayed in the city for a while, they immediately returned to the city. According to them, the dark power of the other party is completely beyond the reach of their group, and the skeleton forces are only disgusted by the Holy Light, and have no other effect. They had a conjecture that the other party's skeleton soldiers belonged to summoned creatures, and unlike those summoned directly from corpses, they belonged to natural creatures, and they were not averse to the gentle power of light, so this level of holy light could not hurt them. The skeletons that emerged from the corpses were also afraid of the Light, but not to the point of being destroyed or injured.
The army of the undead frantically attacked the city, and the personnel of the Holy See immediately went into hiding. Although the kingdom's army did not count on them, it was also very disappointing to them. And what's more dangerous is that I don't know if I threw all the bombs, the three skeleton giants actually walked in front of the city gate, and kept knocking on the city gate with their fists, and under their cover, some bombers also ran there, put the bomb in front of the city gate and detonated, although a bomb is weak, but when a large number of bombs detonate together, even the skeleton giant, have to temporarily dodge.
The defenders of the kingdom did not know that the siege effect of the bombermen's exploding bombs was not strong, and they were very afraid that the city gate would be destroyed by those bone giants after the continuous explosion, so the heavy weapons on the city wall all concentrated their firepower on the three skeleton giants, constantly bombarding their bodies, they hoped to be able to defeat the three skeleton giants as soon as possible, and use their skeletons to block the attacking troops behind.
Unlike in the game, although the skeleton giant carries a basket on his back, there is a lid on the basket, so the defenders of the kingdom don't know what is inside, and they don't care too much about the basket in such a tense battle. And they think that the bomb needs to be used by the giant himself, so they all want to kill it as soon as possible, which is the safest thing.
Under the strong firepower of the opponent and without protection, the Skeleton Giant's HP continued to decrease, and the bones on its body began to shatter, shattering and falling off under the bombardment of the ballista, and the Skeleton Giant's attack speed also slowed down.
Finally, under the continuous attack of the kingdom's army, the first skeleton giant fell, and its body began to shatter, letting out a dull cry that belonged to a skeleton. The warriors of the kingdom laughed, but they didn't know that for skeletons, the dull sound was the most satisfying laughter. And they didn't know that at the moment when the skeleton giant fell, the fuse on the bomb in the basket also ignited on its own.
"Boom !!"
Just as the second skeleton giant was about to fall apart, the bomb taller than a man in the basket finally exploded, and a powerful shock suddenly struck from under his feet, and even some of the kingdom soldiers almost fell. The height of the flames rushed up to the top of the city, startling back a few soldiers who had just poked their heads out to fire arrows.
The bodies of the other two skeleton giants also disintegrated directly in the explosion, and when the soldiers of the kingdom reacted and pointed to those baskets and exclaimed, the other two bombs also exploded together, as if the arsenal had been detonated, even in the daytime, the rising flames and scorching waves made people feel terrified and shocked from the bottom of their hearts.
The tall giant rushed into battle again, and the steel padak also played the principle of competing for merit, rushing directly to the front of the line from behind, crushing the hundred and ten skeletons standing in front of him, and slammed headlong into the city gate.
The walls began to shake, and the sound of steel twisting continued.
"Boom!"
After the third impact of the steel padak, the thick, but scarred steel gate finally broke all the steel connections on the door frame and collapsed with a bang.
