As soon as the huge battering ram came to a stop, the surrounding warriors circled it, took out the huge steel spikes from the siege engine, and fixed the body of the siege vehicle to the ground. Some of the wedges are tucked under the wheels, which helps stabilize the body.
The occupants of the car began to turn the huge winch, and the all-steel battering hammer hanging from the beam was pulled backwards.
"They're going to hit the city, think of a way!" Some players started to panic, but we didn't know what we could do about it.
That damn siege vehicle is sturdy like a tank, and our stones, bombs, and flames don't work. There are only two ways to deal with this kind of thing, the first is to concentrate the attack with heavy artillery at long distances, but it is obviously impossible to do this now. The second option is to get close and send someone into the car to destroy it, but this thing is guarded by a large number of high-level NPCs, and we can't rush into it anyway. Even if they did rush in, it was estimated that the loss would definitely be worse than being beaten through the walls by a battering ram.
While we were at a loss, the enemy had already pulled off the connecting bolts of the winch and the battering ram hook.
The hammer, which weighed more than a hundred tons, slammed into the city wall with the sound of the howling wind, and only a loud sound of human teeth fighting was heard, and the city wall seemed to shake for a moment. Although the enemy's battering ram is very large, our city wall is bound with steel plates and rocks, and there are steel bars in the middle, which is not comparable to the resistance of wooden city gates. Although this battering ram can break through ordinary city walls, it is not so simple to break through our city walls.
The first impact caused a half-foot-deep crater in our walls, and the steel plates were deformed. The enemy began to roll the winch, and the ram was pulled back into the attacking position, and then rammed into the walls again. When it sounded, it was like striking a bronze bell standing on the ground, and the sound was dull and made people's hearts furious.
"Work hard. Again! The voice of the opposing commander was heard from inside the crashing car.
The ram was pulled up for the third time, and then slammed into the walls again with the sound of a whistling wind. Bang.
This time the sound was a little different, the first layer of armor was completely deformed, and a piece was concave in the middle, and everything around was warped. The enemy dragged down the steel plates, which could not be tightly attached to the city wall due to Yan zhòng's deformation, and the ram again rammed into the city wall without armor plates. Boom, this time the effect is obvious. The all-steel ram plunged into the wall more than a foot deep in one go, and when it withdrew again, a large amount of stone dust like yellow sand was carried out. The rock walls have no defensive power like steel plates. I can't withstand such an attack at all.
"This won't work, you guys go down and destroy the car!" The American president who bought the city finally couldn't hold his breath. With his order, four thousand-level NPC guards jumped down.
It is said that a thousand-level guard is indeed a high-level guard, but the current enemy is not a player, nor are those small monsters of several hundred levels. These are area guards, not simple enemies. As soon as the four NPCs landed, they began to kill. Those attacking enemies were indeed no match for them, but the four of them could only slowly approach the battering ram. Although I'm not in favor of letting the guards go over to destroy the battering ram. But since the people have gone down, one can only pray that they succeed.
I said to the players from other countries who were still stunned, "Don't stand, cover the guards." ”
Everyone immediately began to cover the four guards with strong firepower, and the four of them were also very aggressive, and they rushed all the way to really get close to the battering ram. We weren't happy for long when an arrow flew from somewhere, and Hayoshi pierced through the guard's left eye, and the guard fell without reacting.
"Where's the arrow?" I almost yelled.
"Over there." A player has a sharp eye to spot an enemy shooting arrows. "Behind the shield over there, there's the guy in the black robe."
"Where's the sniper?"
"Here!" A player holds an oversized musket in response.
"Can it hit?"
"I can't wear those shields at this distance!"
"It's damning!" I turned to the player behind me and said, "Send the sniper over there." ”
The players looked at me for a moment, and then quickly got the cannon up. The sniper was pushed to the edge of the wall, and when it found its target, it quickly began firing. The enemy's shield certainly couldn't stop the shells, but we only fired one shot and were discovered. A large number of mages and trebuchets took us as their primary target, and in desperation we had to carry the cannon down again, the enemy attack was too fierce.
The sharpshooter had been killed, but so had the four guards who went down. The president wanted to send someone down, so I quickly grabbed him. "Don't do stupid things, you're wasting your combat power!"
"So what do we do?" The guy suddenly looked at me excitedly: "By the way, what about your NPC?" Didn't you have a lot of guards at first? I think those guys seem to be very powerful, why are they all gone after the explosion? ”
"Those are the City Guards, just now Windmill City was in the sky, they didn't have anything to move around Windmill City, but now Windmill City is gone. My guards are not able to move around your city, and of course they are all gone. It's the limit of how much I can pull out so many totem beasts to help you! ”
Eagle suddenly asked, "By the way, Ashford." What the hell are you guys doing? I haven't seen you firing until now, so it's not a bomb that blew itself up, right? ”
"How is that possible!" Ah Xiufu said confidently: "That thing can't be used for the time being, and we just rushed to make it, and we haven't officially implemented it yet!" ”
"Isn't it a bomb?"
"I said no, don't ask, you'll know what it is as soon as you start it."
"So mysterious?"
"I can't explain it to you clearly, but you'll know when you see it."
People don't want to say that we can't help it. Now the problem is the battering ram below, that thing is really a thorn in our side, but there is nothing we can do with it! High-level troop assaults, explosives, and falling rocks, I tried everything I could, but the effect was almost zero.
Rumble! Another impact. When the first layer of armor was removed, the walls became weaker. Several successive hits had completely dismantled the rocks behind the first layer of armor. The enemy was stunned for a moment after digging out the rocks, thinking that they would be able to break through the first layer of armor and go all the way forward. But our design caused them a big problem, and the rock behind the first layer of steel was crushed to reveal the steel plate. The outside of the city wall was made of a layer of rock and a layer of steel plates, and the second layer of steel plates and the first layer were actually staggered, that is to say, they only saw two half steel plates along the hole smashed out of the first layer of steel plates, so they could not knock it out like they did with the first layer of steel plates and pry it off, because half of each of these two half steel plates was buried in the force of the wall next to them, and they could not pry it up at all.
The enemy howled in rage. The ram hit the steel plate again. Although this time the steel plate is still constantly deformed. But they were never able to take it down, and as a result, they had to crash it down one after another.
Time is a good thing, it has unparalleled power. Because the second plate was cleverly designed to hold back the enemy, we were given plenty of time to think of a solution. The first thing we thought of was the crystal beetle. These little things eat everything, including battering rams, of course.
But we're not the only ones figuring it out during this time. The enemy is also trying to figure it out.
By the time we had the crystal beetles ready, the enemy had three more battering rams. The four battering rams were close together, constantly colliding. In this way, all the steel plates on a distance can be made. Our crystal beetles swarmed down from the city walls, and the enemy immediately began to exterminate them when they found out, but unfortunately the number of insects was too large.
After paying Yan Zòng's casualties, the crystal beetle finally entered the battering ram, and then began to scream continuously. With a bang, the wheel of the battering ram on the far left suddenly fell, and we heard the sound of metal twisting. It was probably the crystal beetle that bit off the steel beam, and the roof of the battering ram suddenly collapsed, and the hundred-ton rammer fell to the ground with a thud, shaking the ground for a moment.
The American president who owns the city said happily: "Why didn't you think of using these little bugs!" It's amazing! ”
After the collapse of the first battering ram, the enemy began to disarray, and they used a large area of fire magic against our crystal beetles, but it didn't work very well. With a bang, the battering ram's ram crasher in the middle also fell, and the ram's four walls fell in all directions at the same time as planned. Four steel pillars supported the roof, but a battering ram without walls was no defensive value, and we dropped a bomb and killed that guy.
The third battering saw and the fourth battering ram didn't last long, and as soon as the little bugs entered the battering ram and gnawed indiscriminately, this behemoth completely fell apart. Less than half of the crystal beetles that were discharged came back were left, but there was really nothing to say about the combat efficiency of these little guys.
I thought that the form of the battlefield began to tilt towards us, but people are not as good as heaven. At the same time that the enemy's battering ram was finished, our artillery began to overheat in large numbers, and the shelling just now was a little too fierce, although a large number of enemies were destroyed, but the artillery was somewhat unable to hold on.
We had to have the artillery units take turns firing to gain enough time to dissipate heat, but then there were suddenly more enemies under the walls. But fortunately, the battering ram was no longer there, and the enemies were blocked under the city and could not enter the city, so we took the opportunity to start the massacre.
The enemy was as numerous as ants, and after thirty minutes of slaughter, the enemy had flattened the walls with corpses. I've only seen this kind of description in books before, but today I can see it real.
The thirty-meter-high city wall had already been filled with more than twenty meters because of those plants, but the corpses that had followed each other made the slope higher and higher, and finally a slope formed entirely by corpses was finally piled up near the top of the city wall. Now the slope is close to the city wall, and the top of the wall is only a little more than a meter, and the enemy's war horses can already jump on it.
Seeing that the slope of death has formed, we can no longer rely on the American musketeers.
I pulled out eternity. "Retreat the musketeers, move forward with the melee troops, and don't let the enemy climb the walls."
The musketeers put away their weapons and began to move backwards, and those of us who were skilled in hand-to-hand combat were at the front. I guarded this section of the wall with my dragoons, which was the strongest part of the wall. Without our strength, we can't stand it.
The last bit of the wall was finally filled in, and the first enemy jumped in from me.
Ping. A gunshot rang out behind me, and the guy was blasted back again. The American players didn't leave the walls, they just retreated behind us, and they were still there to support us at close range in our hand-to-hand combat.
The first guy to jump in was blasted back, but this did not affect the enemy's advance.
They were able to fill in the walls with corpses, and they didn't care about the loss. The second guy jumped in after him, and I swept out in a baseball-like stance. The guy slammed into my eternity with his sword in his hand. As a result, I cut off his sword along with his neck. By the time he fell into the temple, he had become two parts.
Someone came in after that. Before I could do anything, Nightshade suddenly electrocuted the guy and the people behind him with a chain of lightning. But a bolt of lightning wasn't enough to kill them, and the men got up and rushed into the city again. A guy suddenly jumped in on a war, and Nightshade took me forward. I shook the eternity, and the eternity of the whip sword immediately became very long. The blade cut off the man's horse's head and then cut him in half.
Although I have succeeded in attacking many times, there are more and more enemies. And the forward rush is getting faster and faster, and I'm starting to get scrambling. The demon pets are similar to me, and the number of enemies is a headache for us, and every disadvantage is filled by the endless number of enemies!
Just when we could barely hold on, Ashford's device suddenly kicked in.
The earth-shaped object on the base unfolded, and the sphere unfolded to become something much like a satellite dish. The inverted umbrella-like device lowered itself to the outside of the city, and when the pole in its center was aimed at the enemies outside, the enemies outside suddenly began to fall in pieces. Not only the enemy, but even us are stupid. This thing starts the same as not starting, there is no sound and no fire.
Our weapons are all deafening and terrifying, but this one is surprisingly quiet.
After sweeping down a large number of enemies, the thing turned in another direction, and the enemies fell one after another. Probably realizing that this thing was too dangerous, several high-ranking figures from the enemy jumped over in an attempt to destroy the device.
This thing is so powerful, how can I let the enemy destroy it! Flying up and dragging an enemy down on his way to the side, he got into a fight with the guy. I was too excited just now, and I rushed straight up without thinking about anything else, and after the attack, I learned from the display of the star pupil that this guy was a level 1000 boss!
I've strengthened a lot since I came back from the Demon Realm, but now I'm only level 785 after all, and there is still a huge gap between the level 1000 boss and me. The guy didn't pay attention just now so I pounced on me, and now when he found me, he immediately waved me out.
I didn't want to pester him at all, so I just used the principles of Tai Chi to jump out with his strength. As soon as I landed, I steadied myself, then lowered my body and passed through the gap between the enemy. The guy turned around and went on to attack Ashford's weapon after I was thrown out, but I didn't expect to rush back again.
"Divine Dragon Strike!" An accurate punch hit the guy's vest, and the chest in front of him suddenly exploded with a bang, and a large piece of blood-red stuff flew out. The guy stared and fell in disbelief.
The Divine Dragon Breaking Attack is actually a technique to control the power breaking point, usually I concentrate my power on the enemy's body to achieve powerful destructive power, but since I learned Tai Chi, I have found that in fact, the Divine Dragon Breaking Attack Technique can send the power out of a certain distance and then explode. This time, I just used this guy to do a food test, and I hit him directly in the back of the heart, and then sent the force out of a distance to let the blow explode at the center of his heart.
No matter what kind of master you are, even if you know hard qigong such as the Golden Bell Jar, it is only practiced on the flesh and skin, and the heart is always fragile. The attack just now sent the power directly into his body, and then his heart was completely shattered. No matter what creature you are in "Zero", no matter how many levels you have, the critical attack is to attack the bad, no matter what creature you are, it will be finished without a heart.
But today I'm taking a trick, normally a higher level of biological defense is high. Level 1000 bosses will die if they are hit in the heart, brain, neck, etc., but under normal circumstances, you will not be able to touch these positions at all.
When this guy fell, I quickly ran towards the instrument, and I put down a few shredded guys along the way. Despite my best efforts, I managed to get an enemy to the instrument first. Judging from this guy's armor, he is in the same category as the level 1000 guy just now. The German players couldn't stop the guy at all, so he rushed to the side of the instrument and jumped up, then slashed at the satellite dish with a sword.
I thought this instrument was going to be scrapped, but I didn't know that as soon as that guy's weapon touched the antenna, it suddenly couldn't cut down. A powerful force bound the weapon in the air. No matter how hard you try, you just can't cut it.
I rushed behind the guy and jumped up. Attack his vest position again with the Dragon's Broken Strike. This guy was smarter than the previous one, and when he found out about my intentions, he immediately abandoned his weapon and jumped to the side. I couldn't stop when he left his position, and if he flew in front of that thing, he would be as finished as the enemy outside. As soon as I grabbed the hilt of the sword, I managed to slow down and not rush in.
After holding the sword, I suddenly felt a high temperature. This sword is so hot! If it weren't for the magic dragon suit, I would have jumped up a long time ago, but the magic dragon suit can block most of the heat and only let my hands feel the temperature without being burned.
Now I know how that guy dodged my attack so accurately. He didn't see me at all, but the heat forced him to throw away his weapon. I just happened to attack before he let go.
The guy was also surprised when he landed, and he looked at the sword that had turned red. Then I rushed towards me. But he was only halfway there, when suddenly a dark shadow collided with him, and the guy immediately flew out and knocked down a section of the battlement wall.
"All over here, protect the launcher." The voice of the red moon appeared behind him, and a large number of steel giants walked up.
It turned out that the Red Moon had transferred the puppet troops, and these guys formed a defensive line under that launcher, and the enemy couldn't get past no matter how they rushed. The puppet's body is not sensitive to damage, so they basically do not block the enemy's attacks, but slash for sword. The puppet is not afraid of cutting, but the other party can't stand it, and as a result, he loses in momentum. A steel wall of puppets stood in front of the launcher, and the enemy couldn't get past it no matter how hard they rushed. Some enemies came up on horseback to knock the puppet down, but the puppet and the puppet threw it back.
This unknown launcher is so powerful that if there were one or two hundred of them on the city walls, it would not need to be guarded to defend the city. The enemy tried to destroy one after another, but could not get close. An enemy sharpshooter suddenly fires an explosive arrow at the launcher, but the dart jumps up and catches the arrow and throws it back into the local pile. Darts are faster than bullets, and can be caught by any flying weapon as long as it is not too massive.
Although the puppet's defenses are airtight, the enemy is back to playing the old tactic of piling up corpses.
A large number of enemy corpses gradually piled up, and the puppet had to retreat if it didn't retreat, or it would be buried by the corpse.
I saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly said to Ashford: "Quick, the enemy is about to start a full-scale charge, hurry up and retreat with your weapons." ”
"No! My people are all hanging, and there is no way to transport them now! ”
"Cut! Is there anything we can't move away from? Ziyue, come here and do me a favor. ”
Ziyue was originally commanding the artillery position in the rear, and when she heard me call her in a private chat, she hurriedly ran over. I pointed to the launcher and said, "That thing is very important, it can't be destroyed by the enemy, so hurry up and help move it to the rear." ”
"Small!" Purple Moon immediately summoned her two Titans, who lifted the massive launcher up like a sculpture and ran.
Seeing that the launcher had been transported, I hurriedly said on the war channel: "All the outer front-line troops are now retreating to the second line of defense in the city, and the first-line troops are regrouped and ready to retreat." Artillery units, the range of shelling moved to the city to the line of the city walls. ”
The American Musketeers and the mages who were still supporting us began to quickly move away from the walls and towards the cities behind. The city has been completely fortified, every building is a blockhouse, and every street is a network of firepower. We knew that it was impossible to keep the enemy out of the city, so we had already made changes inside the city. The enemy's trickery did not appear in the first siege of the city, and we used that time to reorganize the city, which is to make full use of the enemy's strategy. They didn't come, so we just rushed to repair it.
The musketeers and mages retreated to the barricades and buildings beneath the walls, and the artillery fire from behind began to gradually approach the city, and the shells exploded on the piles of corpses near the walls, causing flesh and blood to fly. A cannonball even landed on the city wall, nearly knocking me out.
Seeing that the non-hand-to-hand combat troops had already completed their evacuation, I quickly ordered: "Dragons, please play!" The front-line troops retreated to the second line of defense. ”
Our totem dragon suddenly fell from the sky. A dragon flame instantly turned the city wall into a sea of fire. The puppets skillfully picked up the wounded around them and began to run backwards. We also followed. The enemy wanted to chase us, but Long Yan was too strong, and they couldn't rush back no matter what.
Long Yan is not over yet, and suddenly a group of spears rushed from behind, these are the guardian spears of our guild players. This time, the spears carried a large number of bombs, and these were shotgun bombs made for the lance. Each bomb contains thousands of small bomblets, which are designed to deal with dense crowds.
The spears were throwing bombs in a strange way this time. They flew at high speed from the rear of the city, and suddenly pulled upwards as they reached the top of the dragons' heads. The spears threw their bombs as their bodies reached a vertical angle. With the help of inertia, the bombs began to slow down towards the sky at a vertical angle, and the spears directly completed the air tumble and broke away from the open space above the city wall with their bellies facing the sky. After flying a certain distance, they rolled half a circle in a unified motion and returned to their normal flight posture and flew backwards.
After the strange bomb of the spear ended, the dragons also abruptly ended, and the dragon flame turned around and ran, and the enemies were confused. But they soon understood what was really going on. The lance is dropped upward, which means that the bomb is flying upwards. However, the bombs were not powered, and when their kinetic energy was consumed, they began to fall to the ground following the law of gravitation.
The purpose of this tall maneuver is not to deliver the bomb with precision, the only motive for doing so is to buy time. After the bomb is dropped, it will take some time for the bomb to fly upwards before it falls, and the dragon just takes advantage of this time to turn and flee. When the enemy noticed that the dragon was retreating, they immediately began to pursue, but at this time the bomb also came down.
Boom, boom, boom, boom......! Shrapnel continued to fly from the explosions on the walls, the enemy suffered heavy casualties, the dragons had run away without a trace, and we, the warriors, had reached the second line of defense.
This beautiful defensive action has not undergone any training, and it is really worth celebrating to be able to complete it so successfully, I thought that there would be a few people who made a mistake and fell behind, but I didn't expect it to be successfully completed.
Since there were no more people of their own on the walls, artillery fire immediately began to cover the walls. The enemy rushed down the city wall under artillery fire and was immediately attacked by a platoon of guns, and the archers were not willing to be lonely and attacked the enemy with a rain of arrows. The feeling of a large number of enemies falling under the castle reminds me of the execution of the death penalty in the centralized tube in the movie, where rows of people stand under the base of the wall and are knocked to the ground.
The enemy lost its commander and vanguard at the beginning of this operation, so there was basically no tactics to speak of, they were just constantly charging and charging. Despite the severity of the casualties, the other party continued to rush forward without feeling it at all. Several level 1000 bosses were shot as hedgehogs and insisted on rushing to the barricades we had piled up before falling, and the troops behind him, covering with his body, rushed to the barricades and began to climb over the barricades, but the crossfire from the windows of the buildings on both sides knocked them down again.
We were fighting on our side, but the walls suddenly fell. The shelling was so dense that the already porous city wall could no longer withstand such a toss, and finally collapsed after a shaking. Without the walls, it would have been much easier for the enemy to attack, and they could rush directly through the ruins of the walls, which had formed a hillside, to our second line of defense.
Suddenly, a strange roar sounded from the rear of the enemy, and then the enemy took the initiative to separate a passage. With the help of this passage, I could clearly see a group of rhinoceros-like monsters rushing frantically behind the enemy. Good guys, these guys are going to knock the barricades out of the way!
The big guys were so fast that the ground shook as they ran. Seeing that they were about to come to us, I ordered the puppet troops to jump over the barricades and stand in a line outside, and then asked them to do as I did.
The posture I put in was actually a bit like what I did in a rugby game. This posture is actually used to withstand the force of impact. After the puppets posed, I made a grabbing motion in the void and let them do the same when they were hit by those monsters.
Although the intelligence of the puppet is not high, the imitation is very accurate. The rhinoceros monsters rushed in front of us with amazing momentum, and the monster that ran in front of the monster hit a puppet with a bang, because of the posture of resisting the impact in advance, the puppet was not knocked over, but the powerful impact force still made the puppet's two-and-a-half-ton body retreat a lot.
After the puppet was hit, it began to do what I said on the ground. They spread their hands apart, one under the monster's jaw and the other grabbed the monster's head, and thrust their hands back.
High-speed moving objects are prone to warping after hitting something. For example, when a car hits a wall at high speed, the tail will often be cocked. Some can even turn around. These monsters are just like those high-speed cars, they rush forward with their heads down, and their backs naturally turn upwards after hitting the puppet. The puppet did what I did, and in fact lifted the monsters with the help of this upturned force, and the inertia did not completely disappear. The guys were lifted up and immediately flipped backwards, but by this time they were on all fours.
These monsters have carapaces on them. But the belly is white and tender, without any protection. Now that they're facing the sky, it's naturally the best time to attack, and our people understand what I mean almost immediately. They excitedly stepped forward and stabbed indiscriminately, and all the monsters were killed. Before the enemy outside could catch up, we quickly jumped back behind the barricades, and the enemy's plan to ram was a complete failure.
Although these monsters were destroyed, they were delayed for a long time. By the time we returned to the barricades, the enemy forces had already reached the vicinity of the barricades, and it was clear that our fire could not suppress them.
I hurried to the War Channel for help. "Ask for air support, the second line of defense needs incendiary bombs!"
The pikemen were super fast, and a few minutes after I shouted they arrived, and a volley of bombs flew into the middle of the enemy, and then the bombs suddenly exploded, spilling a large amount of black liquid everywhere. An American player fires a shot at the edge of the black liquid, which immediately burns. The fire spread rapidly, and soon a wall of fire was formed, and a large number of enemies were on fire and howling there, but we did not pay any attention to it, and one incendiary bomb after another was thrown out.
There are a large number of sharpshooters in the enemy's troops, although our air force has a very good bombing effect, but the losses are not small, those sharpshooters' explosive arrows are very powerful, and the pikemen troops lost one-fifth of them in just three bombs, so frightened that I quickly asked them to stop bombing. The spear will be used later, and now we just need to buy time for us to put things in order, and we don't have to work too hard.
While the flames were still burning, we abandoned the barricades and began to move into the building. These enemies don't know what street fighting is, so we'll let them see it today.
When the flames were extinguished, the enemy found that we were all gone, and although this was a suspicious situation, the Indonesian district guards had no sense of danger at all, and they rushed forward over the barricades as if they had not seen anything. The streets of the city are no longer wide avenues, they have been cut off into small alleys by steel plates and buildings. These lanes are wide enough for three people to pass side by side, and narrow enough for one person. The criss-crossed network of streets is designed to be like a labyrinth, and with underpasses appearing from the middle of the city, this three-dimensional network will definitely turn most people, but we need something like this to stop the enemy's attack. The Indonesian troops, who did not have hot weapons, had to use corpses to pile up if they wanted to get through guò, but unfortunately their losses on the road ahead were too strict, and now the remaining troops may not be able to level this labyrinth array.
The final battle will end here, the strongest labyrinth strangulation array.
