In fact, there is a reason why our people do not prepare for war, the Legion of Light has been delayed for so many days by the strategy of the god of war, and our people have finished preparing for anything, where is the use of grinding guns in battle? Of course, this is not the only reason. What the god of war is best at is surpassing the huge detailed computing power of human beings, and guiding the overall development with details.
Tianyu City was originally located in the Death Mountain Range, and the terrain was slightly higher than the plains outside, but after continuous treatment these days, it was already much higher than the outside, and there was also a point that there were several more large reservoirs in Tianyu City. The water in these reservoirs is connected to the spouts under the city walls in giant pipes, and with the help of the water's own gravity, the water in these reservoirs is sprayed out like a high-pressure column of water as soon as the floodgates are opened. The purpose of these waters is to keep the enemy from approaching the walls, at least the battering ram and ladder are not expected to get close, and even if they do, they will be pushed away again.
In the clearing behind the city walls lay a large honeycomb-like launcher, a magical version of the Tempest system launched with the power of a giant spring. Dragon's Edge Tempest system is actually a multiple rocket launcher, while the magic version of the Tempest system is an automatic bow and arrow launcher. When the water in the summit reservoir rushes down, it spins the water turbine, and this force is sent from the propeller shaft to the gear set at the bottom of the storm system to energize the mainspring that acts as a secondary energy storage device. These clocksprings are connected to the upper launchers, which usually contain 3,000 large arrows, which can be fired like a storm in an instant by the launcher with the pull of the lever. A dense swarm of 3,000 arrows cannot be dodged, and since it is a heavy crossbow, it will be very powerful after being fired. Even angels don't have to be all in the way, let alone others.
The real power of the Tempest system is not in the strength of the arrows, but in the numbers. The loading device is a fast-integrated reloading device, and the second and third batches can start loading when the first batch of arrows is fired. After the launch, as long as the second and third arrows are pushed and pulled forward as a whole, the reloading is completed, and the springs that are the launchers all rely on the strength of the clockwork, which can be said to be completely free of human assistance, which enables the entire launcher to maintain a firing speed of three to four rounds per minute before the arrows are consumed. One Tempest launcher is 3,000 arrows, and we have ten rows here, a total of 300 Tempest systems, and as long as the enemy dares to charge in groups, we promise to let them know what a rain of arrows is.
The bow and arrow system was followed by the guild's super sniper, which was also asked to be modified by the god of war. The sniper cannon was originally used to deal with the opponent's siege weapon, but now it has been changed to a device to deal with the opponent's advanced players. The sniper gun itself has not changed. It's just that the cannonballs have been replaced with a loose nail device mixed with magic crystal powder. Steel nails with magic crystal powder can ignore magic protection for a certain distance, and with their terrifying speed, every qiē within a radius of twenty meters near the hit point will be beaten into a sieve.
There is also a Super Crystal Cannon behind the sniper field. This thing is specifically designed to suppress clusters of enemy masters. Because this thing is so powerful, even the protective shield jointly raised by the mage group may not be able to block it, so it will be used as a sharp weapon to restrain the opponent's key personnel.
This three-layer weapon system is the only large-scale weapon in Tianyu City at present. I used to have a lot more weapons than that, but the god of war dismantled some of them on the grounds that the repetitive effectiveness of the weapons was decreasing, and replaced them with these things. Although the number has decreased, the defense force has become stronger. According to the words of the god of war, this is called overall optimization. More is not always better. For example, to deal with those ordinary soldiers, it is enough to use arrows in the storm system, although these arrows may not hurt angels and high-ranking paladins, but they have a group killing effect on large groups of soldiers. Snipers, on the other hand, may not be very useful against large areas of soldiers, but they are very effective against enemy forces such as officer corps and mage groups. As for the magic crystal cannon, that thing is a hard bone that can't be gnawed by other weapons, whether you are an angel or a god, one shot will definitely be over.
Of course. These things alone are not enough to completely destroy the enemy, our real killer weapon is already ready under the city walls, and as soon as the enemy starts attacking, we can immediately let them know what a terrible battlefield is.
After a night's rest, Konstantin stood behind the army on the morning of the twenty-fifth. He felt thrilled now, because the final final attack that he had been waiting for for many days had finally arrived. For them, whether they win or not, it would be nice to be able to rush to the city. If it weren't for the relatively strong combat effectiveness of the Temple Legion, this army would have been wiped out.
The left and right elders stood beside Konstantin and threw affirmative glances at him, Konstantin looked left and right, and then waved his hand forward firmly: "Attack." ”
"Roar ......!" The entire army of the Temple of Light let out a neat throat scream, and it was not small.
Several high-level angels took out some strange magic devices, and then threw them forward, and those things immediately exploded in the air, and when the fire disappeared, a large array of giant magic cannons appeared in place, and there were actually lightning ball projectors in them.
I've been envious of the Lightning Ball Projector in the Temple of Light for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to get it, so this time I have to find a way to get the drawings anyway. It is similar in structure to a trebuchet, and in fact it can throw stones, but in fact its main purpose is to fire another type of ammunition - lightning balls. The front of this large trebuchet is equipped with a lightning ball maker, which can create a blue orb slightly larger than a basketball on the trebuchet's spoon by adding mana to it. This sphere looks like a crystal, but it is actually a high concentration of thunder elements, as long as it is thrown out, when it hits the ground, it will explode immediately, forming a huge electric field with a radius of more than thirty meters around the explosion point, which can instantly turn the enemies in it into barbecue, which is unimaginably powerful. We're going to make that trebuchet, but the key is that we don't know how to build the lightning ball generator, so I've been trying to get a set of drawings back. I didn't expect the drawings to arrive yet, so people used this thing to hit us first.
Immediately after the appearance of these things, a large group of infantry rushed forward, but they did not go to control the machine. Instead, he rushed forward over the machine, and it seemed that he was going to attack the city wall directly. According to the regular tactics, such a charge should not be launched, but Konstantin is probably scared of the toss these days. I don't plan to have a big battle with us without any tactics, and solve it all at once.
While the soldiers were frantically charging towards Tianyu City, the angels in the rear also flew up, and at the same time, the magic equipment that had just been released began to operate. However, it was not those devices that were the first to strike, but the defensive weapons in Tianyu City. With a loud bang, a magic cannon in front of the battle array of the Bright Army rolled and flew out as if it had been hit by a dragon. The people on the gun positions on both sides looked at the cannons flying out of them in a daze, and then suddenly reacted and each manipulated their cannons and began to fire back.
"Ready, put!" The commander next to the lightning ball projector roared, and a row of lightning balls flew high and low in the direction of Tianyu City.
From a distance, we see that the walls on our side are full of people, but if you look closely, you can see that there is no one here. There are indeed quite a few humanoid objects on the city walls. But they're all puppets. The biggest advantage of the battle puppet is that the defense is super high, and the damage of lightning magic to animals can be very huge, but it is basically ineffective against puppets. The guild's puppets are multi-layered shells. The outermost heavy plate is insulated inside. According to the iron cage principle, although the conductivity of the metal plate armor is very strong, because the electrification is too good, its surface potential difference is zero, that is to say, there is no voltage for the people inside. Unless insiders connect to the ground through some kind of electrically seeking substance, forming a closed and loop. Otherwise it will not suffer electric shock. Although the puppet in this armor is more resistant to electricity than a human, the ultra-high voltage can still burn the puppet's control circle, but with this layer of insulation, it doesn't matter. Anyway, there is no voltage inside, so there will be no electrically charged dissolution.
A large number of lightning balls landed on the city walls and within the city, blue arcs and strong magnetic energy fields flashing alternately, but no damage was caused. However, the lightning ball can be ignored, but the cannonball fired by the magic cannon cannot be ignored. Those purple crystal cannonballs are a big crater as soon as they land, and I don't want my walls to become crater-ridden ruins. A large number of magical missiles glowing white flew up from the city, firing them from the shadow fiend hidden inside the all-steel building. The Shadow Fiend is a high-level undead creature, and it is a mage-type creature, and there are many Shadow Fiend guards. They have good resistance to magic. They are also more nimble than the average mage, and they can quickly duck back into the steel bunker when enemy attacks fall.
Advanced Shadow Fiends use "Magic Destruction", which can destroy enemy magic regardless of level, and no matter what magic you fire, it will instantly collapse if you are hit by magic destruction. Those white magic missiles just now are magic destruction, they are directly towards the cannonballs of the magic crystal cannon, and it is much better to use this kind of thing to block the cannonballs of the magic crystal cannon than to resist with a protective shield. However, there is another question to be aware of, and that is which mage is responsible for which shell. Enemies don't just fire a magic crystal cannonball, they have to fire a bunch of them. If our mage attacks indiscriminately, in case everyone stares at a cannonball to intercept it, not to mention the waste, the rest of the cannonballs will fall to the ground, at this time, a precise allocation of personnel is needed to match the mage and the enemy's cannonballs one by one, and this work is done by the battlefield fire management system in reality. But there's no such thing in the game, so we've never used this interception method before, even though we've had Shadow Fiends, and the reason why we use this method now is because the god of war is here. This guy is a battlefield decision-making computer, and it is not a hassle to take care of the distribution of firepower, so that the firepower advantage can be maximized and the firepower will never be wasted.
The white magic missile collided with those magic crystal cannonballs in the air, and immediately exploded into a brilliant firework in the air, but the actual power was almost zero. Konstantin angrily shouted to the gunners: "Shoot again." ”
The gunners also opened fire again with great ferocity, and the shells flew like raindrops, but there were just as many interceptor missiles on our side, and not a single shell could fly past half of the field.
The gunners on our side began to wield power, and the characteristics of snipers were accurate, one shell and one cannon, and the number of cannons of the Bright Legion was getting smaller and smaller. They also tried to rely on the heavy shields set up by manpower to resist it, but found that the sniper guns were too powerful for the shields to block at all, even if they didn't want to die. A single shell can often knock over a row of people and blow up the ground gun positions behind.
Suddenly. A sharp eagle's cry came from high in the sky, and Konstantin looked up when he heard the sound, and it turned out that it was a group of griffons that had collided with the dragon interceptors. The angels and griffons were unable to break through the walls when they were blocked in mid-air by a large horde of dragons and spears, and the two sides were immediately locked into a scuffle. A griffin swoops down and bites the wings of a dragon. The dragon rolled in the air and threw the griffon upwards, and a spear rushed through it, breaking the griffon in two.
If you look at it this way, it seems that the griffon was unlucky, and was thrown by the dragon and then cut off by a spear, but in fact it was not like that at all. If you add a command order to this picture, you can find out what the problem is.
The bitten dragon was staring at the target in front of him and flying forward, and the god of war had already seen from the eyes of the other dragons that the dragon was about to be bitten, so the dragon's ears suddenly sounded a communication command. "Turn over." The dragon felt its wings bite almost at the same time as it received the order, but the turning action had already begun, and the griffon was thrown out before it could bite tightly. Other than that. At the same time that the dragon received the order to turn over, a spear in a specific position also received the order. "Straight ahead, supersonic assault, pop out the winged blades." The spear popped out its winged blades and began to assault. As his speed increased, the dragon threw the griffon in front of him, and the wingblade slashed it in two. Although the griffon is not as powerful as the dragon, it is at least the same level as the spear, and should not be killed so simply, but with the command of the god of war, it is very different.
in other places. This is also going on. A flying dragon was staring at the target in front of him when he suddenly heard the command: "Smash the tail down hard." "After receiving the order for several days, the dragon smashed his tail down without looking back, in fact, he didn't know what the god of war asked him to smash.
At this time, a high-level angel was fighting another low-level dragon. The angel was flying backwards, deliberately luring the dragon into the central area of the other angels, but he happened to fly right behind the other dragon. It is said that the dragon was fighting with other angels, and he should not have noticed him, but the dragon shook its tail violently because of the order of the military god, and this unlucky angel was slammed on the head by a dragon tail larger than his real body, and he was knocked unconscious at that time, and fell straight from the sky.
A dragon below who had just eliminated the enemy was looking for a target when he suddenly received an order. "Look up. Mouth. "As soon as the dragon looked up, an angel fell into his mouth." Well, swallow it, you can replenish the body. ”
The command was continuous, and the orders were given in perfect sync, and the entire army of dragons and spears fought as if they were one. Angels and griffons were much more numerous than dragons, but they couldn't rush through, as if the enemy was about the same as them. And these dragons and spears are always doing strange things, and every time they do them, there is always an angel or a griffin who is going to be unlucky.
After about ten minutes of aerial scuffle, the army on the ground was finally about to rush under the city wall, but at this time, the city suddenly changed again. The houses that were originally close to the city wall were suddenly pulled down by a group of people, but when these houses fell, what appeared inside was not rubble, but rows of strange artillery with high elevation angles.
The dragon and spear in the sky suddenly turned and ran away like a burning butt, and the cannons below began to turn. The angels only listened to the roar below, and then round balls were knocked into the air. At first, the angels were still very puzzled, these balls have no edges and no corners, can they hurt people? Besides, the ball flying so high was almost powerless, and some angels even reached out to catch one directly, which caused the other angels to laugh. This weapon sucks, right?
Before the laughter could be heard, a loud bang suddenly stopped the angels. A small black ball exploded in the air, not very powerful, but it threw out a large dense area of spiral nails, which was not only fast, but also penetrating. The remaining shells exploded one after another, and for a moment the steel nails flew all over the sky, and the angels and griffins were stuck in the sky and fell down like hedgehogs. The bombardment below was not over, and the cannon chased the remaining angels and began to fire continuously. These anti-aircraft spike cannons are simply air killers, and there is nowhere to hide in mid-air, and almost none of the angels run away. Fortunately, their defense is not bad, as long as they don't get too close to the explosion point, they won't be hit immediately, but just because there is no danger to their lives does not mean that they are fine. This guild is not the Bright Alliance, we are talking about effectiveness, and since the god of war began to command, it has become more utilitarian. According to the requirements of the god of war, all steel nails have been soaked in poison, and as long as a wound is rubbed on the body, it is enough for the other party to lie on the bed for half a month, and if it is hit enough, it may be fatal on the spot. This is still calculated according to the huge number of priests of the Legion of Light, if it were the priests of the ordinary army, at least half of them would have died of poisoning.
Seeing that the Air Force was photographed like a fly, Konstantin immediately ordered the Army to accelerate the impact. But this order did not please me. The storm system behind the walls is finally ready to work. This thing is designed to restrain infantry clusters, and the only drawback is that the range is a little shorter. However, this thing's trajectory is very curved, and it can attack enemies in front of the walls from behind the walls, which is just right for defending the city.
As soon as the god of war gave the order, he heard a buzzing sound inside the city wall, and Konstantin only saw a large piece of something flying up from the city wall. At first, those things flew straight up, and Konstantin thought it was an anti-aircraft weapon, but who knew that after those things flew high, they suddenly began to smash down again. Konstantin had seen a rain of arrows before, but they had never seen such a dense one, so they didn't recognize it at first.
"It's throwing arrows and raising shields." Konstantin didn't recognize it until the last few seconds, shouting a little late.
The soldiers hurriedly raised their shields above their heads, but some were slower and fell to the ground before they could raise them. In fact, the person holding the shield also felt that he was about to fall. The heavy cross arrow fired by the catapult is a large crossbow between a siege crossbow and a single crossbow, each arrow weighs two kilograms, and when it falls from such a high place, the actual strength is at least fifteen kilograms or more, and so many arrows come down together, the power is even greater, many people are knocked to the ground even if they raise their shields, and then they are pierced by the arrows that arrive later and become corpses.
This round of arrow rain brought down 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the troops behind immediately suffocated. Konstantin shouted to the herald, "Keep rushing, take advantage of the attack." ”
His voice fell, and there was another buzz in front of him, and a large field of arrows was fired into the city like locusts. In the midst of a terrible scream, the front of the army suddenly flowed into a river of blood. The originally bare plain seemed to have a layer of grass composed of arrow shafts, and under the dense arrow shafts were corpses that were no longer human. There were no wounded, and no one would have survived such a dense attack. As long as it's covered, it's absolutely not alive. Even if some people bravely throw their comrades down and cover them, the strong inertia will wear them together and nail them to the ground, and the defense will be futile.
This time there was no need for Konstantin to order, and the front-line commander immediately let out a beastly throat cry: "Rush! The blood of comrades-in-arms cannot be shed in vain. ”
"Kill ......!" The infantry of the Legion of Light began to rush forward at a faster pace, and the walls were already in sight.
Suddenly, an arrow with a whistle flew over the city, and it seemed that there was still fire burning on the arrow. What can an arrow do in the midst of a thousand troops?
