Chapter 288. The Great War and the Return!!
However, the accident did not happen after all, although everything was indeed as Chopin expected, during the period of his absence, "White Rock City" has suffered two tragic baptisms of blood and fire, but under the roar of howitzers and the desperate struggle of the soldiers, this blood-stained land was finally defended.
After a successful meeting with Pastor Delis, Chopin had no intention of continuing to stay in the "City of Chaos", with the turbulence of the current situation, the "sideburns", "tiger kings", elves, orcs, aborigines, and even the army of fierce beasts, all forces have opened their fierce fangs, and the ensuing war is obviously inevitable.
Chopin doesn't want to continue to entangle with these guys here, although these major forces have at least tens of thousands of elite soldiers under them, but no matter what, Chopin still has absolute confidence to sweep them, but even if he can defeat all forces, it is completely meaningless to him.
His vision has never been limited to the "chaotic capital", and more importantly, with the energy and troops that Chopin has at hand now, if he really wants to fight, he can certainly solve the forces of all sides, but the time delayed here is at least in years, and it is not worth it at all for him.
In addition, the more important reason is that after the undead world used the "golden paper" to kill the giant golden skeleton, it also let him know some secrets hidden in the long history of this other world, and then, Chopin's heart has been uncontrollably flustered.
It's just that Chopin doesn't want to deal with the forces in the "chaotic city" and wants to return to Paris, but there are always some people who don't know how to raise their heads and always like to kill themselves.
***********
The rout of "White Rock City" is undoubtedly a great shame for the orc clan.
However, the huge power of that cannon still shocked those orcs, but the words of those orcs who escaped back to the tribe were completely unbelievable.
Amazing weapons that roar like thunder, how is this possible!
This is the unified idea of all orcs, in this still ignorant era, whether it is a human race or an alien race such as an orc, most races have the power that thunder can only be controlled by gods, so for these orcs who have fled back, all orcs scoff, thinking that this group of guys is just making excuses for their own failures.
However, what is surprising is that the largest force in the alien alliance, the elven clan, believed the words of the elven archers who escaped by luck, and then even more forcefully defied public opinion, and at this sensitive and critical moment, he actually did not hesitate to send a full tens of thousands of soldiers to the "White Rock City", and the main force among them was naturally the clansmen of the elves, orcs, and dwarves.
And the commander of this army is the number two person of the elven clan, the high priest of the elven clan - Platinum.
The orcs naturally couldn't understand what the elves were doing, but because of the power of the other party in the alliance now, they had to obey, and they were extremely aggrieved at the moment.
As for the other dwarves who were forcibly pulled in, this is much more knowledgeable than the orcs, because it was their dwarves who judged that the weapon used by the other party was probably the artillery that their dwarves had invented.
However, due to various reasons, the manufacture of artillery in the dwarf race has disappeared in the long river of history, and knowing that there is such a super powerful weapon, how can the elf race not be tempted, and rush to the "White Rock City" with the two major races of orcs and dwarves as soon as possible.
According to the elven archers who fled, the artillery in White Rock City was incredibly powerful, but the number of guns was extremely limited, only four.
Although there are only four artillery pieces, and the real lethality on the battlefield is limited, in order to ensure the foolproof nature of this operation, in addition to mobilizing an army of 10,000 people, the elves have mobilized even the most mysterious "hidden killing" troops in the race.
After the rectification was completed, tens of thousands of alien soldiers did not care about rest at all, and trekked for several days in a row, and finally on the second day after Chopin and his party arrived at the "White Rock City", the soldiers came to the city!
***********
Under the hazy sky, an army of tens of thousands of people lined up in dozens of phalanxes and displayed outside the "White Rock City".
At the forefront, there are about 3,000 orc soldiers wearing chain mail and holding round shields.
On both sides and in the middle of the queue are more than 3,000 elven archers armed with strong bows and quivers, and because of their own need for flexibility, these elven archers are covered with light cloth armor such as leather, which ensures a certain amount of defense while not too consuming the physical strength of the archers, which is enough to maximize their flexibility and mobility.
At the bottom of the column are twenty trebuchets.
Dozens of dwarves took turns to propel these large machines that specialized in conquering the city, and the huge wheels slowly moved forward as they crushed the planks that were constantly being laid.
And once the thick walls are within range, these trebuchets transform into hideous and ruthless weapons of slaughter.
The stones that were fired by the trebuchet, even the legendary warriors would never dare to defend their edge, and as for ordinary soldiers, their bodies would be smashed into a ball of flesh in an instant.
In fact, in addition to the trebuchets, there were more than a dozen ballistas and other siege equipment.
And more than 3,000 dwarves are all around these dozens of large siege machines.
With so many siege equipment, not to mention the capture of "White Rock City", a small city that is completely inconspicuous in the "City of Chaos", and a large city as famous as "Black Iron City", it is extremely difficult to deal with it, which shows how firm the determination of the interracial coalition to take the "White Rock City" this time is.
Because there was no further research and development of gunpowder, the trebuchet, as the world's most important siege weapon, has been optimized and improved again and again, and the range and power have been enhanced to a considerable extent compared with the trebuchet in the world where Chopin once lived.
As absolute experts in forging skills, the siege equipment carefully crafted by these dwarves is several grades stronger than the ordinary trebuchets in this world in terms of power and range.
Due to the extreme fear of artillery, Platinum, who was in charge of this battle arrangement, hesitated, and finally decided to use the trebuchets to consume the living forces of the defense on the city wall, and then make the next decision.
As soon as the order was given, the team of more than 3,000 dwarves was quickly moving, and it didn't take long for the stone bullets to be transported.
In fact, in addition to throwing boulders to smash houses in a fortress or smashing a soldier defending the city into pulp, trebuchets also have an important psychological effect, which is to throw filth, dead beasts, heads of the dead of the enemy, and even the corpses of prisoners to frighten the people and soldiers in the city, thus giving them great psychological pressure and forcing them to surrender.
As the ejection lever is pulled into the horizontal position, the stone bullets are loaded into the "spoon" where the projectile is released, and then as the catapult rod quickly reverts to the vertical position, the stone bullets placed inside are also immediately ejected.
The stone bullets that danced wildly were like iron fists swung by giants, and then they opened their teeth and claws, and smashed viciously towards the walls of "White Rock City".
The war has begun!
*********
Chopin also did not expect that the group was preparing to leave the "City of Chaos", and there were still people who wanted to fight their ideas.
Since this is the case, then he doesn't mind giving the other party a bloody memory that will last a lifetime before leaving.
This time, Chopin did not let any of his soldiers fight, but directly transported all 30 of his cannons to the city walls.
In this battle, he wants to use the purest and unsolvable firepower to completely crush the opponent.
As for the so-called tens of thousands of troops, Chopin didn't pay attention to them at all, and no matter how many people there were, it didn't make any sense under this endless stretch of cannon fodder.
With the intense preparation of the gunners, one artillery gun after another has been installed, a full 20 6-pounder cavalry guns, 4 24-pounder Guards infantry guns, plus 4 24-pounder howitzers, all aimed at the alien army below.
In modern warfare, the power of artillery is undoubted, whether it is a siege battle, or a field encounter, or a collision of sail warships, artillery is a vital member, or even the most important factor.
At Chopin's command, a gunner began to skillfully stuff the wrapped gunpowder into the chamber, stabbed it to the bottom with a wooden pole, and then stuffed the cannonball into the blackened bronze tube.
After adjusting the angle of the shot, the gunners held the long tongs in unison and aimed them at the thick linen rope that stretched out.
"Sneer—"
And as it exploded like thunder in the nine heavens, the sky, the earth, and even the entire space seemed to begin to tremble involuntarily.
The black phantom also tore through the sky like electric light, and it seemed that all the rage and restlessness had been completely vented at this moment.
Then the solid iron balls have also crossed the sky like meteors, bright, dazzling, and faintly with infinite murderous opportunities.
"Boom-"
"Boom Boom!"
Cannonballs flew out of the black and pressed copper pipes, falling from the sky like meteors with a speed that was difficult for human eyes to distinguish, short and gorgeous, bright and dazzling.
The orcs in the front row did not know at all that the scythe of death was already hanging above their heads, and it would mercilessly slash through their necks in the next moment.
Then, in the face of this incomprehensible terrifying force, chaos was unavoidable, and the sudden change made the alien coalition army panic, and no one knew what was going on.
Then all kinds of wails, roars, and screams instantly filled the area.
*********
The stump was mixed with tumbling flesh, and under the action of the rising wave, it rippled like a tide.
Black, gray smoke and dust stirred through the air, and the smell of blood and oozing filled the entire battlefield.
After the shells fell, the huge riots and trampling inevitably spread.
And with that roar, the whole area has also become a hell on earth, and countless ghosts are constantly wailing in it, but no matter how terrible the scream, it cannot change their tragic fate.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Pust ran back quickly, but also desperately untied the chain mail on his body, in this situation, this kind of life-saving artifact in his eyes before, at this time is already dispensable, and the fastest speed to escape from here is the most important thing at the moment.
Pust seemed to have fallen to the bottom of the endless sea at this time, his mouth was wide open, almost greedily breathing the air around him.
The heart in his chest was beating non-stop, violently shaking like a volcano about to erupt, as if it would burst at any moment, but he didn't dare to stop at all.
With each step, Pust felt as if he was walking in the water, his legs bearing almost stagnant resistance, but when the death-like crisis came, he felt as if his heart was infused with endless vitality, barely supporting him to continue running.
The furious roar continued to explode in his ears, and every time he heard such a thunderous roar, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
After the black iron ball landed, in addition to the raging air waves, it also brought up pieces of fine broken stones and wooden boards.
The threat of high-speed flying stones and shards of wood was no less than that of the falling cannonballs, and the tiny phantoms that flew by quickly flew like sharp blades, and from time to time they landed on the necks of those of their kindred, and immediately took away one fresh life after another.
There were people lying in pools of blood in front of him, and the wails were even louder, and Pust at this time, in the face of this fierce fear, was on the verge of collapse.
But just when he was about to fall into madness, the originally rapid and high artillery fire suddenly stopped.
But before Puster could catch his breath for a while, the hysterical roar of death sounded wildly in his ears again.
"Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-"
As the thick smoke rose again, the roar of the artillery also resounded in full swing on the dark earth.
Then, the earth, which had already been soaked in blood, was once again a dark red.
And after this bloody battle, no matter what the attitude of all parties was, Chopin left the "City of Chaos" with his soldiers.
ps: Thanks to the "Poor Lonely" pro-reward of 500 coins.
This is the end of the storyline of "City of Chaos", and the next step is naturally to return to Drifting Island, which is written in this paragraph...... It's really not good, forgive me.
