124. The wall is broken
Find out the crux of the problem, and you can prescribe the right medicine. After peeking into the mystery of the centaurs' fearlessness to death, the crowd quickly made a response. Being able to confuse so many centaurs into their minds that they are not afraid of death, the entire centaur tribe is estimated to be capable of only that centaur wizard. I don't know exactly what method he used, but it's certain that it must be some kind of magic mystic. And to break it, although it is difficult for the Rogge Knights, who lack French warriors, it is difficult for the Xuanyuan Adventure Regiment's traversers.
I saw Yang Zhao and Lu Yu standing on the two sections of the city wall, and they each cast the 'dispel' and 'exorcism' spells on the centaurs gathered under the city, only to see a piece of gold and silver brilliance under the city wall, and the red light in the eyes of the centaurs who were shrouded in gold and silver brilliance suddenly dissipated and faded.
The centaurs who had recovered from their disillusioned state first looked confused and confused, and then the arrows falling from the city, the rolling stones, and the hot oil of the wood, told them of the danger of their situation. Suddenly, the wails and screams under the walls were endless, and the regained centaurs lost their previous bravery and fled in the head-on attack.
"Oh! Oh! Victory! Watching the centaurs flee under the city, the defenders guarding the city immediately cheered loudly.
"Don't be careless!" Although he repelled the centaur attack, Kasha was not careless, and shouted in the cheers of everyone: "This is only the first wave of the centaur's attack, and there are still many tough battles to be fought in the future!" ”
Sure enough, as Kashya's words fell, a large group of centaurs appeared again in the distance outside the city, facing the centaurs who had fled after the failure of the storm. Immediately afterward, a round of javelins was fired from the herd of centaurs that followed, and the target was the centaurs who had broken and retreated earlier, and the centaurs who had fled for a while let out a cry of horror, and then all died under the attack of their own men.
"It's cruel!" Everyone at the head of the city saw the scene outside the city in their eyes, and Sun Xiaoyu covered her mouth with an unbelievable expression. "They, even kill their own people?"
"Sure enough." Yang Qianyu looked at everything that was happening outside the city, and said to himself, "I can understand why the leader of the other party arranged such a vanguard team to storm the city—this is simply the means he used to eliminate dissidents in the tribe!" These confused centaurs must be the unstable elements of his new tribe, and in order to make the most of them and make it easier to eradicate them, he actually used spells to turn them into puppets without minds. ”
"For this purpose?" Shi Jinxin looked at the abandoned corpses under the city, and said in disbelief: "Looking at the number, there are seven or eight hundred deceased centaurs. That's a quarter of the total number of people in this tribe! ”
"Not really." Li Xiang said in a deep voice on the side: "Although this practice seems to have caused heavy losses to the tribe, it has also made it impossible for the tribe to have any opposing forces. Although most of them were still wind blowing on both sides, the centaur khan, relying on his old troops, was enough to suppress the other tribes led by no opponents—decisive enough, ruthless enough. ”
Yang Qianyu said: "In other words, there are no unstable factors in this centaur tribe now, and they are completely under the control of the leader Khan. ”
"And then, we're going to face the real attack of our opponents."
-
Outside the city, the centaur assembly area.
The centaur khan, with a war hammer in each hand, shouted loudly to his subordinates, boosting the morale of his subordinates.
Beside him, a centaur wizard covered in strange trinkets and two well-armored centaur warriors second only to the centaur khan stood solemnly. Two well-armored centaurs watched silently as their khan roared at his men. The centaur wizard, on the other hand, closed his eyes and held his staff in both hands, muttering something in his mouth.
After a while, the centaur khan turned his head and said a few words to his three powerful subordinates. The two centaur warriors let out a few shouts before raising their hooves and running to the front of the battlefield. The centaur wizard, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes and nodded silently, and then walked unhurriedly.
Minoburg.
After repelling the first round of centaur attacks, the defenders in the castle are also stepping up to carry all kinds of garrison materials to the city, and the soldiers are also changing guards in shifts, the replaced ones are stepping up their time to rest, and the replacements are fully vigilant for the centaurs' every move in the distance.
At this time, the person who was guarding the Xuanyuan Adventure Group at the head of the city was Xue Xiaojing, who was on patrol, suddenly stared at it, and locked on the centaurs who rushed to the critical point of the bow and arrow range in the city again. In this group of centaurs, the first three centaurs are unusually conspicuous in their costumes. And one of the three is an old rival he met in the Ruhr village!
"This is a problem." Xue Xiaojing only felt a layer of cold sweat on her head. Hurriedly turned his head to the Sergeant of the Rogge Knights on the side and shouted, "Hurry up!" The centaurs are attacking the city again! ”
As soon as Xue Xiaojing's words fell, the low sound of a horn suddenly resounded throughout the castle. In an instant, the Minoan castle was once again noisy.
Meanwhile.
I saw the centaur wizard standing at the front of the team, raising his staff and pointing in the direction of Minoburg, singing obscure words in the Centaur language, sometimes low and gloomy, sometimes high-pitched and harsh. Suddenly, the Centaur Wizard raised his staff and slammed it into the ground, the end of which stabbed into the ground. Immediately afterward, a small crack stretched out of the ground pierced by the staff, winding and stretching forward, all the way to the bottom of the walls of Minorburg.
At the same time, Xue Xiaojing only felt that the wood and stone wall under her feet began to shake slightly, and then this shaking suddenly became violent.
"Quickly retreat and open the section of the city wall touched by the crack!" Xue Xiaojing was shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly shouted. After drinking, Xue Xiaojing stepped back and kicked back. Before the surrounding sergeants could react, they heard a series of roars from the wooden and stone walls where the crack extended, and then began to tremble violently, and at the same time, it began to collapse. The soldiers in the city could not stand on their feet in the earthquake and fell, and dozens of soldiers at the collapse of the city wall fell along with the collapsed city wall, and then were buried alive and dead by the smashed wood and stones!
"Oops!" Xue Xiaojing, who was spared by retreating in time, stood up and looked at the collapse, and couldn't help but cry bitterly in her heart. I saw that the wooden and stone city wall, which was originally twelve meters high, more than fifty meters wide, and three meters thick, appeared at this time, but a huge gap with a width of more than ten meters appeared. The defensive line that could withstand the onslaught of the centaurs suddenly revealed a huge flaw!
The impact of the centaur's first wave of seemingly death-defying behavior only revealed its true purpose. The centaurs who desperately approached the city and smashed the city wall had little success, but they also caused some damage to the foot of the wall. And these subtle damages caused immeasurable damage to the city wall under the earth spell cast by the right centaur wizard later, and suddenly opened a huge gap for the centaur army that attacked later!
After seeing the city wall collapse, the centaurs in full gear let out a rampant roar, and one by one they raised their hooves and prepared to attack the city again.
Two strangely dressed centaur warriors raised their heads and let out a shout, and then started and rushed in the direction of Minoburg. Behind them, hundreds of sturdy centaur warriors followed closely behind and charged.
