Chapter 842: Siege
In the end, Wilcas resisted the tempting idea of demonstrating at this time and directly ending all six trebuchets. After all, such a move is actually the most morale-boosting at the beginning of the war.
"I think the lord of Shadinghel should be calling me a fool for attacking a city with two thousand men." Wilcas returned to the middle of the group after making a round, and no one around dared to respond when he said this.
"But what they don't know is how powerful weapons we have, enough to make my soldiers a three-on-three or even a dozen five!" Saying that, Wilcas smiled confidently: "Then, now give the order, attack!" ”
"Whew!"
With a command from Wilcas, the desolate Nord horn sounded, and the flags flew everywhere to convey the message.
"First round, magic cannon, put!"
The four magic energy cannons that had already adjusted the elevation angle suddenly made a loud noise with the order of the team leader. The sound echoed across the battlefield like rolling thunder. It's okay for the half-moon leader here, after all, they have heard it a few times and are already immune. But the moment Shadinhull heard the voice, he immediately became confused. What was that? Is there an archmage working earth-destroying magic?
The next moment, they saw four black shadows flying from the other side's position in the distance.
"What's that? Catapults? How could it be possible to fly so far! On the outer city walls, Lord Shatinhel finally saw the "culprit" who had lost the Northwest Fortress in an hour.
I saw that the four black spheres smashed directly into the catapults on the side with a sharp roar, three of which successfully hit the target, and the three newly erected catapults shattered directly into a piece of wood slag with a bang. The only black thing that didn't hit the target slammed into the ground and then bounced up, knocking the Shadinhel warriors in the path into a pulp, crushing a passage that was tens of meters long.
"Excellent! Hurry up and adjust the angle, let's do it again! The leader of the magic cannon was obviously excited to see that the fired cannonballs had successfully destroyed three of the trebuchets, and he waved his fist and shouted excitedly at the people below.
On the other side, the bed crossbow positions in the front row also began to attack. In terms of range, the bed crossbow is definitely the longest of these weapons, but the effective range is not as good as the magic cannon on the side. As the cannon roared at the catapults at the back of the enemy's position, the bed crossbow was also activated, shuttling towards the Shadinhull soldiers in the front row. Some of the soldiers at the front even heard the sound of the crossbow strings rattling after they noticed that their companions had been pierced by the long bolts!
"What kind of weapon is this, is this the legendary half-moon collar's bed crossbow that can slay dragons? I'm still small! "Lord Shatinhel and Sebo on the side finally understood why the enemy would line up their heavy weapons in the front row, and why they were not afraid of their own people to completely destroy their heavy weapons with a single impact. These guys just have nothing to fear! They included their own people in the attack range from the very beginning!
"Retreat! Hurry back! ”
Seeing that the soldiers below were completely confused in this situation of being beaten by the enemy but unable to fight back, Saibo could only reluctantly give the order to retreat, if he wanted to force the attack, it would only make them break up faster! It might even stir up something he doesn't want to see!
"Hehe, I actually retreated......," Wilkas smiled easily as he watched the last three catapults collapse under the bombardment of the magic cannon. Order, heavy weapons positions cross cover, advance on all fronts! ”
For Wilcas, it was far easier to confront these human warriors than it was to confront the army of the undead of Ephrosis. Especially...... These guys who haven't seen the methods of the half-moon collar.
The Shadinhel warriors, who had retreated in a crossbow that was not particularly dense, but powerful enough to make people lose their hearts to resist, suddenly felt that their attacks were much more sparse. At this time, you don't need to look at it, just listening to the sonic boom in the air, you can tell that the enemy's attack has descended. A few of them boldly glanced back, just in time to see the heavy weapons positions on the side of the Half Moon Leader divided into two groups, one group advancing and one group firing crossbow arrows.
"Are they going to press it up?" Looking at the crossbow arrows, which were already much thinner, Lord Shadinhel's eyes suddenly flashed with eagerness. However, this emotion was quickly suppressed by him.
"My lord, they're forcing us to fight!" Taibo's face was gloomy, and it was clear that he was definitely not in a good mood at the moment. "We can't go out though, as long as we turn around, their desperate weapons will be fired again!"
"Then we ......"
"We're going to have to drag ourselves against the walls here......" Taibo narrowed his eyes. When they run out of ammunition, that's when we fight back! ”
On the side of the half-moon leader, when Wilcas saw the city gate open in front of him and move the important materials that had been deployed outside to the city at an extremely fast speed, he already knew that he could no longer expect such an opportunity for the enemy's brain to come back with a hot brain, so he had to order the entire army to advance steadily, and finally re-position the position dozens of meters or so outside the range of crossbow arrows outside the city gate.
"Go on, let the magic cannon blast the gates open for me! Blow up the walls for me! Seeing that everything was ready, Wilcas was not in the mood to continue to consume, and gave the order directly. He had seen the Wilderness Fortress bombarded by the Demonic Energy before, and he had complete confidence in whether he could blast the gates open.
"Hey, brothers, there's work to do!" The captain of the magic energy cannon team saw the flag from a distance, smiled, and stood directly in the middle of the four magic energy cannons. At this time, when the whole army is not moving, it is just the time for him to be in the limelight.
"Target, front door, adjust the angle! Reload the shells! ”
"What are they going to do?" Taibo muttered a little puzzled as he watched the action below.
"These guys, they don't want to blast the door open, do they?!" The lord beside him suddenly shuddered and spoke nervously. Immediately, he said as if comforting himself:
"Knock open the door? The gates of the fortress have been lowered, and no matter how powerful that thing is, it can't be blasted open for us......"
Halfway through the lord's words, there was another deafening commotion on the other side. Four shells hit the gates of the outer city of Shadinghel with precision.
"Boom!" I only heard the squeak of the iron gate, the sound of the iron ball rebounding to the ground, and the sound of the wooden door breaking almost in no particular order......
