Chapter 329: The Zerg's First Siege Battle

Just after noon, the gates of Jacob were wide open, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians, and several soldiers guarding the toll booth at the gate were lazily gathering together to chat, and beside them was a long and shabby table, on which was placed a large wooden box, and everyone who wanted to enter the city had to pay two coppers, and looking at the box was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old recruit with dry hair, no matter where he was, the recruits were always bullied by the veterans.

The daily dull life of thunder and lightning has long consumed the professional enthusiasm of these veterans, and now they are not even bothered to do it with a tiger face as before, except for the occasional glimpse of those frames with exquisite carved patterns passing by, these soldiers reluctantly stand up, and when these vehicles representing the nobility disappear within the time limit, they will immediately return to their lazy appearance.

"Pol, when it's time to be laid off, shall we go to Pina's tavern to be chic?" Seeing that there were not many people entering the city today, one soldier leaning against the base of the city wall smiled boredly at the other soldier.

"Cut, Sim, you don't really have a crush on that tigress, do you? ”

", I just want to go for a drink. ”

"Come on, Sim, who doesn't know that time I went to Pina's tavern, you barely had a good eyeball. However, don't say it, Pina's body is really hot enough, and that big ass ......"

The soldier squatting on the other side couldn't help but joke when he heard Sim's denial.

"Hey, wait, what are you listening to?"

Thundered!

The ground trembled, and the oppressive muffled sound became clearer and clearer in my ears.

"Uh, that's grass! What is it! Hurry up and close the gates! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!Sound the alarm! Damn it! What are you still rubbing!!"

While the soldiers were frolicking under the city gate, the soldiers standing at the head of the city saw the tide of beasts surging like black clouds in the distance, and their faces suddenly changed greatly, and they roared hoarsely, warning the others, and at the same time ran to the alarm device not far away.

The soldiers under the city gate also saw the terrifying army of swift insects carrying billowing dust in the distance, and in a panic, they raised their weapons in their hands to slash the crowd that was blocking the city gate because they were frightened.

"Bastards, don't crowd them, line up one by one! Oh my God, you pigs, all of you are going to be finished. ”

The soldiers guarding the gate didn't even have time to take the money box, and after struggling to drive the crowd at the gate into the city gate, they hurriedly closed the city gate, and the people who had just entered the city immediately crawled away from the city gate.

"Lower the gates, lower the gates. After receiving the report from his subordinates, the city defender hurried to the city wall, and at the same time saw that his subordinates had just closed the city gate, and hurriedly shouted and commanded his men to activate the steel cast 10,000-pound gate used to protect the city gate from the enemy's siege.

The steel gate, which weighed more than 10,000 catties, crashed down, blocking the entrance to the city gate. But on the city wall, there was still no blood on the face of each soldier, and the recruits who had no combat experience were even more frightened when they saw the sea of demonic beasts getting closer and closer, and their hands and feet were numb and their bodies trembled.

On a small dirt slope a few miles away from the city, Chen Jin rode a flying dragon and looked down motionlessly, the army of swift insects that almost covered the wasteland outside the city gradually stopped, and the entire outside of Jacob City was full of a sea of insects gathered by swift worms, and the officers of the defenders at the head of the city who were densely watching were all numb.

There were several fortress insects slowly rising into the air in each direction outside the city, and through the Zerg spirit network, Chen Jin could share the vision provided by the fortress insects, and the entire city of Jacob was under his nose, as long as he had a thought, almost every corner could appear in the field of vision.

"In the end, it is a border city of a country, and the response speed is not slow. ”

Through the vision of the fortress worm, Chen Jin saw that Jacob's four city gates had been lowered one after another, and the large city-guarding weapons used to assist in defending the city were pushed up the city wall, and the city-guarding giant crossbows used by several people were lined up on the battlements of the women's wall, each giant crossbow was operated by four people, and each of the giant arrows that shone with cold light several meters long weighed dozens of kilograms, and it took two people to load the giant crossbow with giant arrows. This giant crossbow has a very strong armor-piercing ability, and its lethality is terrifying, even if the dragon comes, it will not be able to eat and walk around, and it is specially used to deal with the siege party to drive the siege chariots that hit the city walls and gates and the giant beasts that pull the siege chariots.

In addition to the giant crossbow, Chen Jin also noticed that there were also a few things similar to cigarette tubes pushed up at the head of the city, this thing he vaguely remembered what the dwarf clan or the goblin clan provided to the human magic cannon, using the magic circle engraved inside to condense the power of the elements, driving the launch of a kind of cannonball made of black spar, I heard that the destructive power caused by this cannonball is comparable to the full force of the powerhouse of the holy realm.

"Hey, I'm afraid I'm going to have some blood this time, if only the base worm had evolved to level four now, I heard the queen say that most of the Zerg's long-range main battle units in land warfare can be modulated at this stage. ”

Secretly lamenting the impending losses, Chen Jin ordered the millions of swift worms gathered outside the city to attack Jacob.

With his order, the already restless sea of insects outside the city suddenly rushed to Jacob's city wall like an avalanche, and from the sky, the sea of insects was like a moving black cloud, quickly wrapped around the city not far away.

Witnessing the momentum of the insect swarm attacking the city, the soldiers defending the city began to become panicked, and their morale was getting lower and lower, if it weren't for the fact that the enemy in front of them was a group of demonic beasts, these soldiers were afraid that once the city was breached, everyone would have become the rations of the demonic beasts, and it was estimated that they would have abandoned their weapons and fled for their lives.

"Brothers, those who have cultivated battle qi will be at the forefront with me, and the others will protect the ballistas and magic railguns. Listen up! Don't be cowardly if you're a man! Behind us is our own home, and our parents and wives will all rely on us to protect them! If we can't stop these damn monsters, then our parents and wives will be devoured and eaten by these monsters! Brothers, the time has come to surround our family with our swords!"

At this time, an officer defending the city saw that the soldiers around him were all bloodless and trembled, and secretly screamed that it was not good, took a step forward, and shouted loudly.

And as the officer shouted, the soldiers defending the city gradually became calmer, perhaps the mourning soldiers must win, knowing that they would face the desperate situation of death, they were fearless, and their morale began to rise rapidly under the leadership of the officer, and three seconds later, the city wall began to erupt one after another roars, all the soldiers guarded their posts, and the timidity on their faces gradually faded, and was replaced by anger and firmness.

The speed of the swift insect charge is comparable to that of a galloping horse, and when the defenders at the head of the city have just finished preparing, the overwhelming insect tide has already reached the front of them, and the next moment they will have close contact with the tall city wall.

"Ballista team! ready!

A command was shouted, and a giant arrow instantly broke away from the giant crossbow and shot towards the sea of insects below, this giant crossbow is worthy of a defensive weapon, a single crossbow arrow can penetrate three or four crowded swift insects, and then castrate obliquely on the muddy ground.

"Railgun! Ready! Release!"

Boom! Boom!

The cannonballs fired from the railgun fell in the swarm of insects, and immediately flew away, leaving only stumps and broken arms of the velocrat insects within a radius of more than ten meters.

Compared with the giant crossbow, although there are only a few railguns, the casualties caused to the rapid insect swarm below are several times that of the giant crossbow, after all, the vitality of the zerg is extremely tenacious, as long as it does not cause a fatal attack on the vital point, then these arrows of the rapid insects shook their bodies, and then still rushed to the city wall alive, even if some of the rapid insects were hit by the giant arrows and then opened in the body, these rapid insects did not care, the sharp claws waved a few times to cut off the giant arrows and continue to charge, to see that vigorous body which looks like it has been hit hard, it is clearly a good worm full of energy。

"The ballista team back and reload, the archers shoot!"

Giant ballistas and railguns, though lethal, can be reloaded somewhat slowly, and can only be topped by soldiers with bows and arrows.

With the officer's order, hundreds of soldiers with bows and arrows on the city wall came to open their longbows, and the arrows rained down like drops of swift insects in the distance below.

However, with the exception of some arrows with combat energy that could slightly break through the sturdy carapace of the speedworm and pierce their bodies, other ordinary arrows were shattered by its hard carapace even if they hit the speedworm, leaving not even a trace on it.

"Hell, what kind of monster is this, it's not afraid of the bow and arrow. Let them hurry up and reload their crossbows and railcannons, these ordinary bows and arrows will not work against them!"

The city guard who was holding the head of the city looked at the rapid insect swarm that ignored the bow and arrow, and a lot of sweat began to flow on his forehead, and he pounded the wall battlement hard, and his mind involuntarily thought of the little cub who had just completed the moon at home.

"I hope I can catch a glimpse of the rabbit cub. ”

The city defender tightened the chain gloves in both hands and drew the sword at his waist fiercely.

"Sir, the herald who asked for reinforcements has returned. ”

A soldier hurriedly climbed to the top of the city, hurried to the defender of the city, and shouted as he saluted.

"Well, what does the lord say, when will the reinforcements arrive? I won't be able to hold out for long. ”

The garrison grabbed the soldier by the collar and asked hopefully when reinforcements would arrive.

"This, this, this ......"

The soldiers were a little stumbling, and the city defender's heart sank.

"What is this, say, Lao Tzu asked you!"

"The herald said that he had not seen the lord in the lord's house, and that the brothers who were guarding the gate said that the lord had gone to Rostar a few days ago to attend a banquet given by Lord Nasha, and that it would be four or five days before he returned to Jacob. ”

The soldier wiped his cold sweat and quickly retold the news brought back by the herald.

Fuck it! It's over! Damn the feast! Damn the lord!

The defender's eyes were dark, and he almost fell from the city wall.

The soldier was just about to help his commander, but he felt a blackness on his head, as if something was covering the light from above, and it was like a shadow. The next moment, a swift insect fell, and with a wave of its claws, the soldier felt that his vision was free, and his whole soul seemed to float into the air......

Velociraptor is the most basic land combat arm of the Zerg, in addition to having no wings and unable to fly, they can fight in almost any complex terrain, their claws can easily tear up steel, the stones inserted into the city wall are like child's play for them, the balance of the super body, plus the six strong and powerful insects unique arthropods, climbing Jacob's dozens of meters high city wall is simply like walking on the ground, for them, this kind of human city gate does not matter whether the city gate is not a city gate, and the city wall is naturally like a void.

As the swift worms rushed to the bottom of the city, then swarmed up to the top of the city, and finally met the soldiers defending the city, it was only a blink of an eye.

The swift attack of the Velocrat exceeded everyone's expectations, and the soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties in a single look, except for a few magic warriors who used their battle qi, they found that the war sword in their hands could not break through the shell of the Velocrat at all.

It didn't take long for the resistance at the head of the city to fade away, and most of the others, including the defenders, were killed on the spot, except for a few soldiers who fled.

And the corpses of those soldiers who died in the battle were all devoured by the speedy insects on the spot, leaving no dross, and cleaning the battlefield cleaner than the professional corpse collection team.

At this point, Jacob can declare the fall of the Zerg, and the city can be said to be undefended at this time.

"Losing almost a thousand Swift Bugs, well, those railguns are really good, if it weren't for the slow rate of fire, those losses would have at least doubled. ”

Chen Jin, who stood at the head of the city, touched the blackened rail cannon in front of him, and then asked the elven blade warriors who followed him to enter the city to pacify and surrender the residents and remaining soldiers in the city.
