Chapter 122: Assembly Order
As soon as the word "hit" was shouted, hundreds of soldiers who were ambushed here immediately stood up with the stone and smashed it at the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info stone fell from a height of 30 meters and smashed heavily against the black iron shield with a loud roar.
Just when the banner on the fortress was played, the shield array of the Iron Mountain Guards had already bullied the city, and the stone machine in the distance also stopped bombarding. Now, the city is full of stones, and there is no need to transport them, just move them.
Sergio picked up a 100-kilogram boulder, gritted his teeth and rammed it down, and the stone tumbled and fell, faster and faster, and slammed into a shield. Hearing a loud "bang", the dwarf holding the shield smashed it down and squatted down, snorted, the corners of his mouth were bloodshot, and his body fell down.
The soldiers in the rear hurriedly squeezed forward to fill the gap, and the commander of the Iron Mountain Guard, who led the army, hissed and shouted back: "Hurry up!" We won't last long. ”
The stone rain did not stop for a moment, and the shield array was smashed like a wave, and from time to time dwarves were shocked and fell to the ground, and if this continued, their formation would be destroyed in a maximum of 10 minutes.
Hearing the dwarf's shout, the dwarf technicians who had been prepared for a long time screamed, lined up in a column and ran forward desperately, and the strikers rushed headlong into the shield formation.
"Shoot them!" Sergio roared, threw down the stone in his hand, bent down and picked up his bow and arrow.
Hundreds of bows were fired at the gnome technicians behind them, and under the continuous rain of arrows, the gnomes fell to the ground in pieces, and in the end, only about 300 people managed to rush into the shield array, and the rest were all killed in the middle of the way.
Seeing the dwarf technicians enter the shield array, the defenders of the city did not say a word, immediately threw their bows and arrows, and continued to lift stones and smash them down.
At this time, from Bowval's point of view, the smoke and dust above were filled, almost enveloping the entire shield array.
"Almost, let the Eastern Legion prepare." Berval instructed the herald.
Under the military order, the sound of war drums changed, and a cavalry unit rushed out of the large camp and began to charge towards the shield array.
Under the walls, the rockfalls became more and more dense, and the Iron Arm soldiers smashed like crazy, and finally after a round of onslaught, the shield array collapsed, and the dwarves and gnomes scattered in all directions. But before the defenders of the city could breathe a sigh of relief, they only heard a loud "boom", the earth shook, and all the defenders at the head of the city were shaken to the ground.
Seeing the smoke and dust rising dozens of meters high outside the city, Sergio was taken aback, and quickly got up and threw himself on the skirt of the wall to look down, only to see that the rubble below was scattered everywhere, and a gap of 3 meters deep was blown out under the root of the wall. Near the gap, the dwarves and gnomes lying on the ground were obviously killed and injured by the shock wave of the explosion.
Looking up, a group of cavalry was charging in this direction.
Before he had time to analyze the situation, Sergio shook his head, which was still a little dizzy, grabbed his bow again, and hurriedly mounted his arrows and pulled them at the cavalry. Unexpectedly, his strength was so strong that the bow arm broke in response.
"Shoot me!" Sergio threw away the discarded bow and picked up another stone and shouted.
Sassy!
The feather arrows went out one by one, passed through the smoke and dust that had not yet dispersed, and splashed at the cavalry who rushed over.
Those light cavalry were not strong in defending against arrows, and they hurriedly beat their horses desperately to speed up, trying to rush to the city as soon as possible. But when they braved the rain of arrows and plunged into the smoke and dust, they circled, and immediately pierced out, and ran back lifelessly.
"Stone Machine! Suppress it! The cavalrymen shouted as they ran back. As he wished, the stone generators were immediately activated, and the stones rained down, and the soldiers who defended the city could not raise their heads, and were forced into a corner, and the light cavalry took the opportunity to retreat quickly.
"It didn't blow up." Bower's brow furrowed, and he looked at Campbell beside him.
The son of the dwarf master was embarrassed, and his men had brought tons of explosives, all of which were the latest formulas, which were supposed to be enough to blow up this section of the wall, but the reality was that they couldn't blow up even half of it. The round of attacks just now lost the soldiers, and in the end it was smashed into his own hands.
The light cavalry retreated, and the remaining Iron Mountain Guards and dwarf technicians also retreated, and now there are still explosives, but if you want to organize another raid like this, there are not enough personnel. Speaking of which, this plan was proposed by him, and now it will be a shame for adults.
"Forget it, it's not your fault, send an order to the whole army, fix it first, and start the attack in the afternoon." Bolval did not dwell on this matter, said lightly, and returned to the camp after speaking.
The endless stone-moving machines stopped, and the people at the head of the city were finally able to lift their heads, and the men hurried to treat the wounded, sending the bodies of the fallen soldiers down, and another group of soldiers took over their defensive positions.
I have to say, in fact, the raid just now was very thoughtful, but what they didn't know was that the venture capital company took this into account when it built the city wall, and the fortress was 5 meters from the foundation up, all of which were solid.
The first wave of tentative attacks by the enemy was fruitless, and everyone repaired and prepared for a real bitter battle. In another place, the siege had been going on for a month, and both sides were exhausted.
At the foot of Ultra Peak, the Thunderspear Dwarves also built a simple defensive fortress according to local conditions. Compared with the magnificent Shushan Fortress, the one here is too shabby, no more than 10 meters high, and the thickness is only 3.5 meters, but it is such a simple wall, Sauron has been attacking it for more than a month with thousands of people, and he still can't take it.
By now, these improvised soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, their supplies had run out, and their morale had fallen to the extreme. On the contrary, the Thunderspear Dwarves who defend their homeland share the same hatred, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become, and the supply is not a problem at all.
At the head of the city, the dwarves patrolled back and forth, not at all nervous, and they had long been accustomed to the battle. Only a young girl dressed in blue sat on the stack of arrows, holding her cheek with one hand.
Zoka had been here for too long, she could have left at any time if she wanted to, but now that it was a mess, she couldn't afford to leave.
In her thoughts, a five-colored bird flew over and landed on her shoulder, and Zoka listened, looking more and more anxious, and stood on the stack of arrows.
"Leonard, Leonard!" Zoka shouted as he raced across the stacks of arrows.
"Whoa!" Leonard, who was sleeping at the head of the city, woke up in shock, rubbed his eyes and looked in the direction from which the voice came, and before his vision could clear, the figure in front of him flashed, and Zoka had fallen in front of him.
"Leonard, I received an order from my superiors that I must rush back to the troops." Zoka put one hand on Leonard's shoulder, looked him in the eye and said earnestly.
"But......" Leonard churned, not knowing what to say.
Draka is a very good archer, and in the defense of the city, the importance of archers is unparalleled. During this time, she has shot and killed many enemies, and she deserves to be the number one hero on the battlefield, and if she is not there, everyone's confidence will inevitably be hit.
But how do you say what to say?
While Leonard was in a dilemma, a fierce quarrel was going on in Sauron's camp on the other side. Their generals were divided into two factions, one group advocated an immediate withdrawal of troops, and the other group advocated an all-out attack first, and then withdraw troops if they could not be captured, in short, they both wanted to withdraw their troops.
These people were originally local farmers and hunters, and they came with the dream of being a marquis, but the cruel reality gave them a blow to the head. So far, more than 1,000 of the 5,000 people brought in have died, and thousands of wounded are wailing all night, desperately waiting for death to come.
In short, this is not the result they imagined.
After all, Sauron was a junior officer, and although he was very smart, he was not so capable of commanding a large army. The logistics are in shambles, and the soldiers are left to dig wild vegetables to feed themselves.
On the chairman's seat, Sauron looked gloomily at the quarreling generals, and his face became more and more ugly. Beside him, the stunning girl with erect pupils stood with no expression on her face.
"Enough!" Sauron finally broke out, slammed the table and yelled, and the arguing generals were startled and quickly shut up.
Just then, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, the tent door was opened, and a soldier stumbled in, shouting all the way: "My lord, my lord, it's not good! ”
Sauron was already trembling with anger, he gritted his teeth and looked at the soldiers who fell to the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you call me just now?!" ”
When the soldier heard this, he immediately reacted and hurriedly changed his words: "Your Majesty, just now, there was a small team of people who went to the enemy for treason. (To be continued.) )
