Chapter 324: Siege
Well, it turns out that at an extremely slow speed, many things that can't pass through the magic barrier can enter the magic barrier and cause great damage under the carrying of the magic breaking metal.
After looking at the vanished city wall in front of me and estimating the extent of the damage, I nodded and took out my small notebook to record it.
The third experimental warhead, in addition to the elastic demon-breaking metal on the outside, was a magic motive wrapped in Gundam Nim alloy on the inside.
Well, the kind of extra dose.
Under the dual protection of magic power breaking magic power blocking, the magic motive that carried a lot of magic power was brought in by the new warhead of the experiment, which is a breakthrough discovery.
I felt someone next to me tap my shoulder with a finger, but I just shook my shoulder impatiently and shook it off, too lazy to pay attention to it.
In the past, in addition to attacks that exceeded the upper limit of the magic barrier's defense, the only thing that could penetrate the magic barrier was a bug-like pure demon-destroying metal warhead. However, even if there is no speed loss in the pure Demon Breaking Metal, it is difficult to inflict a lot of damage on the enemy with its physical damage alone.
However, according to the current new discoveries, if you wait for the demon-breaking metal to completely dissolve the magic barrier and bring the contents inside the magic barrier to kill, then in the future, the mode of war will be completely changed.
"Don't bother me, don't you see I'm busy?!" After slapping away the hand that was annoyed with me on the shoulder, I continued to record it in my little notebook.
It's just that such a slow attack will be easily intercepted by the opponent's magician. If the opposing mage is outside of their own magic barrier. Using magic interception, the killing efficiency of this slow warhead will be terrifyingly low. Perhaps, we should study the use of this new warhead.
"Miss Qin Xin, this is a battlefield, not your test site, can you pause your experiment first." Just as I pulled out a new warhead from dimensional space to continue the experiment, Vest's voice suddenly sounded behind me. "Do you remember our strategic set-up? If you continue to play like this, maybe we'll really take down Isenger. ”
"I should let Zhilu Dao know our strategic arrangement, but I have a rare opportunity, so I don't take the opportunity to test it. This little door will never pay to build a city wall for me to try. I glanced with disgust at Wacker, who was returning the trebuchet.
"Qin Xin, you bastard. Do you know how much manpower and material resources are required to build a standard wall? Wacker, who was cranking the winch, stepped on the handle of the winch, pointed at me and yelled. A few days ago, you took a large amount of metal materials from me, and the dwarves didn't have time to build a simulated city for you to experiment with weapons! ”
"Okay, I know you're stingy. Don't show it off here. ”
"Did you understand me? I mean! Wacker, who was so angry that he jumped on his feet, did not step on the pedal. Directly hit in the face by the returning pedal and rolled out of the gun position.
"Forget it, I'm pretty much done. You guys play. I put away the trebuchet and said to a helpless West.
Without my interference, the siege exercises began in earnest after a period of preparation.
Well, you guys read that right, this is a siege exercise!
We're only about 20,000 people on this route, and we're not really crazy if we want to build a city of nearly a million people.
If we get caught up in endless street fighting, and wait until the elite troops of the guards of Issinger that we have played a trick on us come back, I guess all of us should stay here.
So, this siege exercise is only part of our plan, and the purpose is just to attract all the attention of the Shadow Empire.
Well, although our siege operation is a drill, it is still well done.
Once the spatial compression was unraveled, eighty large trebuchets lined up in a row were enough to terrify Issinger's defenders. Thinking of the powerful warhead I had dropped earlier, the exclamations of the Isenger defenders continued to reach our ears, making our warriors laugh.
Because elite troops are being transferred to the front, these improvised soldiers are not trained to look cute, isn't it?
While our troops were resting in place in an offensive formation on the front line, the gap that had been blasted by our magic engine bomb was filled with stones, and the debugged trebuchet finally threw its own stone projectile.
Eighty huge rocks streaked through a graceful parabola and smashed directly into the defensive magic array above the city walls.
Boom Boom!
The stones were unsurprisingly bounced off by the huge magic circle above Isengard, but as if we didn't see it, the trebuchet continued to throw huge stones and smash them on top of the magic barrier.
Since the gunboats and the magic ships used for transportation were all transferred, we had to use trebuchets to make do with the lack of a large source of mana.
But even so, the constant bombardment of the boulder and the magic attack of the elven mage will definitely put a lot of pressure on the mage who is responsible for maintaining the defensive magic array inside.
It takes a lot of magic to maintain the magic array constantly, and the magicians of the Shadow Empire don't have the help of a magic core in each of our elven mages, so they must have a headache about how to choose now. Is it to continue to maintain the magic array? Or do you want to lower the defense level of the magic circle in order to extend the duration of the magic circle?
Well, these magicians of the Shadow Empire didn't have to worry about these problems. However, because a large number of elite mage troops also followed the troops to the front line to encircle and suppress our "large army", the number of mages left behind is not much, and if Anne's information is not wrong, the number of mages they have is only about one-fifth of the standard allocation.
There is no problem with a serious shortage of magicians temporarily erecting a magic barrier, but there seems to be a gap over there to resist all kinds of physical magic damage for a long time.
Without me reminding him, the sharp-eyed elven mage threw several fireballs into the breach at this instant, causing the defenders inside to be thrown into chaos.
It seemed that after a period of struggle, the defensive magic above Issinger flickered a few times, and the color changed.
The magic cast by the elven mage was stopped, and the boulder thrown by the trebuchet made its way into Isengard.
As a capital of a million people, it is impossible to cause serious damage to the city's defenses caused by the damage caused by a mere eighty trebuchets.
Well, at least that's what they think.
Since they are so hospitable, then we are not welcome.
The Commander of the Shadow Empire must have forgotten that we have some of the best dwarven craftsmen on the continent, and the trebuchets are terrifyingly accurate.
If it is coupled with the real-time monitoring of spy satellites all the time to help budget the ballistics, the attack effect, tsk.
On the first day, under the attack of trebuchets, all the battlements of the walls were flattened, and no soldier dared to poke his head out to check on us.
The ultra-long-range sniping of the elven girls is no joke, and the soldiers who come out to investigate the situation will not be able to return alive.
After we had leveled the battlements and killed the hundreds of Shadow Empire soldiers who had come out to spy on the enemy, all the soldiers had retreated into the caves behind the walls. Even the voyeur openings on the city walls were temporarily sealed.
Some boring elven girls have begun to use the peephole on the city wall as a target to practice shooting after the enemy scouts no longer appear, and the blood that splatters from the peephole from time to time makes the human warriors on our side stunned.
At the end of the day's attack, our soldiers, who had been sitting on the ground in an offensive formation and resting all day, stood up and turned back to the camp to rest.
This action is estimated to have made Isenger's defenders vomit blood three liters directly.
These guys thought that we had finally thrown enough stones and planned to attack the city, driving all the soldiers in the cave to the city walls, and at the same time thickening the magic array and preparing for a defensive battle.
What is the result?
Not only did the soldiers on the city wall complain, but it was estimated that the magicians who kept thickening the defensive magic array were also uncomfortable.
It's like hitting the air with all your might, how uncomfortable it is.
But what does the enemy want to do with us, let's go back and rest first!
So the siege of the first day ended in a hurry.
That night, when the soldiers, who had been hiding in the cave for a day, finally planned to come out and move, they were smashed into pulp by a boulder that fell from the sky. The soldiers of the Shadow Empire obediently hid back in the cave, lying in the cold and damp cave, and let them hypnotize themselves that this was their barracks, quietly waiting for the next day.
Except for the bombardment of boulders and the whistling of magic, everything is safe. (To be continued......)
PS: Well, I've been thinking, if there is a purple sun drilled into Issinger, how will this battle be fought?
