Only then did Qin Hao understand that there were no magicians involved in the four directions of Cangshan, Lethe, Yuhe, and Pangu, and could only attack with artillery weapons.

However, to his great surprise, Wuding Mansion obviously had magic weapons, so why didn't he use them? Could it be that the conditions of use are unusually harsh? Or is there not enough energy?

Qin Hao couldn't help but glance at those archers and saw that the crystal stones that were spinning in their longbows were different. Maybe it's a lack of energy.

After all, if there is a sufficient supply of energy, those energy crystals that are only the size of fingernails will definitely be replaced, because there is no guarantee that there will be no energy gaps in the battlefield, and if the energy stones become a waste stone in the battlefield, it will be too late to replace them.

Even these hedrons are unable to draw energy from their surroundings to repair themselves.

Due to their large size, some of the arrows themselves were attached to the wind speed magic circle, and they used energy magic runes, not power stones.

It seems that in the Gray Land, even if there is magic, it is not widely used because of the extreme scarcity and preciousness of power stones. From this point of view, Qin Hao began to suspect the purpose and motive of these Quartet Alliances attacking Wuding Mansion and Sifang City, the king capital of the Gray Realm.

Not far from here, the joint front-line headquarters of Cangshan, Lechuan, Yuhe, and Pangu have become a pot of porridge.

"Report!"

A river guard in red armor ran in and whispered beside the middle-aged knight captain, who nodded with a gloomy and gloomy face.

Then he stood up, looked around and said loudly: "The latest battle report: The front-line siege troops have exchanged fire with the Wuding Mansion Xiao Cavalry Battalion!" Our troops have repeatedly routed this elite harassment. The charging troops of the river suffered heavy losses. All Blackstone cannons have received varying degrees of damage and require three hours of emergency repair. During this time, the burden of siege is left to you to figure out. ”

"Didn't I say, how did the commander-in-chief's soldiers be broken up in such a short time? The siege weapons have been destroyed! That's the best of my Quartet. The red-faced fat man wearing a green Cangshan robe on the right said in a weird manner.

"Oh? General Charlie, is this disgusted with the incompetence of our army? The commander-in-chief of the Imperial River sneered and looked at the redbeard general: "Since this is the case, then let me wait to see the divine power of the Cangshan Legion!" ”

"Humph! Then I, Cangshan, will take the lead and help everyone! Tear them open! The red-faced fat man snorted coldly in his mouth and waved his hand to the guards behind him: "Pass the order: order the musketeer squad to protect the siege artillery!" Attack the gates with all your might. ”

In front of the trench, a herald in a green suit ran to the scout captain and whispered, "Captain, the commander-in-chief orders you to rest on the spot. ”

The scout captain nodded with a pale face, turned around and commanded the red-armored soldiers, cleaned up the Blackstone chariot, and replaced the barrel.

The herald ran to the Cangshan siege team again, and shouted in front of a thin man: "Commander's order: Musketeers protect the engineering artillery to attack the city gate!" Hit hard! Don't disgrace him! ”

"Go back and tell the commander: Our Cangshan Special Operations Brigade will definitely break through the gate of Wuding Mansion today!" The thin man made a loud voice different from his stature: "Shield armor soldiers!" Protect the musketeers! Kill melee enemies! ”

"Musketeers out! Protect the gunners! Hunt down enemy archers! ”

"Gunners out! Attack the enemy gates! Based on gun 01! All artillery attacks this one point! ”

With his shouting, a group of soldiers in green armor walked forward and became the first echelon. Among them, the warriors in heavy armor and with swords and shields walked in the front, followed by musketeers with hoods and long-barreled muskets.

Seven iron cannons, pulled by the Beetle, stopped at the edge of the trench. More than a dozen gunners in green robes, skillfully manipulating the artillery, raised their muzzles high in the sound of "squeak".

Next to each cannon stood three ammantors, one with a long iron brush to sweep the inside of the cannon, and the other two ammans with craftsmen's gloves carried the spherical shells into the back of the cannon and closed the latch.

Holding the ammunition hand of the iron brush, he stretched out the iron brush wrapped in cotton wool, dipped it in the sheep fat a few times, put it in the brazier in the distance and lit it, igniting the iron cannon fuse.

"Hiss,"

The greased-soaked fuse was burning.

"Boom, boom!"

Dozens of catties of shells were fired along the barrel, swirling in mid-air, and blasted towards the gate of Wuding Mansion.

"Puff puff," dozens of siege wagons inlaid with iron sheets were shattered behind the trenches, and the soldiers next to the shield wagons suffered heavy casualties.

"Knock knock!" The reloaded iron cannons bombarded the walls, and the huge oak shields that covered the walls were shattered.

At the same time, the defensive ballistas on the city walls took advantage of their height to fire wind magic bolts. Spinning bolts swirled around the artillery, slamming the shield-wielding shield-wielding soldiers to the ground.

"Fight back!" Yue Jingru raised the battle flag on his side and poured magical energy into it. In an instant, a silvery light flickered, covering the entire tower of the city gate, and the guards who had been stunned by the cannonballs climbed up and started their winches to aim at the cannons.

At about the same time, the archers in chain mail entered the trenches again and slashed at the cast-iron cannons. It's just that unlike last time, as soon as he approached the artillery warning range, he was forced back by the musketeers.

For a while, the artillery crews formed a network of firepower, enveloping the archers of the Wuding Mansion Xiao Cavalry Battalion who were riding gray goats. Even if he was lucky enough to brave the artillery fire to kill the iron cannon, he was swept up by the Cangshan shield soldiers and hacked to death with knives.

Yue Jingru silently watched the situation on the battlefield, the narrow trenches restricting the advance of the hoplites and cavalry, but instead became an obstacle for the enemy when they were equipped with firearms.

Yue Jingru gritted her teeth and waved the battle flag, ordering all the archers to retreat.

After a few rounds of counter-shooting. The newly repaired Blackstone Cannon, which fires its first cannonball. Shells wrapped in iron sheets of explosives flew and blasted towards the city walls.

The tremendous force of the explosives explosion caused the walls to tremble violently. The thick double-layered shield was blasted to pieces, leaving a huge crater in the city walls.

"Magic Attack! Magic Arrow Ready! Yue Jingru saw that the rock-solid city gate actually began to shake faintly, trembling slightly, and the earth-attribute magic appeared to stagnate for a short time under the continuous bombardment, and then cracked into fine lines.

The captain of Cangshan, who was in charge of the siege, obviously also noticed this, raised the big green pennant, pointed towards the fine lines, and exclaimed loudly: "Change to an iron-clad bomb!" Attack the Rift! Bombardment after shot! Be fast! ~”

At this moment, countless magic arrows rained down from the sky, freezing the cannons in place. Before the gunners who were hiding had time to de-ice, the rain of fire that poured down from the sky dragged its long tail and ignited the frozen cast-iron cannons.

Under the sharp change of one cold and one heat, the entire artillery also appeared one after another, and even emitted a slight heat? The characteristic sound of expansion and contraction.

So at the end of this round, the gunners, worried about the bombing, ignored the besieger captain's arguments.

"You greedy for life and afraid of death! How can I, Cangshan, tolerate you cowards! The lean captain cursed, and then snatched the gunner's torch and lit the bomb in the chamber.

With the sound of the fuse burning, the bomb exploded with a "bang"!

The barrel was blown into four or five pieces, twisted into a twisted shape. Fortunately, the charge of that shell was not large. The lean captain survived under the protection of two shield men, and did not die.

With the joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe and the lingering fear of the magic arrow, he shouted to one of the guards beside him, "Go! Report truthfully to the commander! ”

Although he will be reprimanded and insulted, now that the situation has gone beyond his plan, there is nothing he can do now. Moreover, the princes of the Quartet besieged Wuding Mansion and forced the lord of the palace gray realm, how could there be his own Cangshan alone to bear the loss.

The magical attacks continued, knocking back all the soldiers who dared to come forward.

"Quadripartite Joint Attack Department order! All retreat! Retreat to a safe distance and set up defenses! A herald in a red suit ran over and reported loudly.

The captain of the Quartet, who was fighting on the front line, listened to and commanded the troops to retreat slowly, because he was afraid of Yue Jingru's pursuit, and the shield armor and archers were responsible for pressing the formation in the rear.

After hearing the report of the liaison officer, the middle-aged knight who served as the commander-in-chief of the Quartet siege stood up and said, "It is not feasible to attack close to the city gate, even after they run out of magic arrows, they can attack us with melee weapons." Unless the gates have already been breached, we can quickly charge through the gap.

We have to do our best! Take Wuding Mansion as soon as possible! It is more feasible to set up a defensive shield to solve the problem of hot and cold, what do you think? ”

"Just do what the chief says!" The other generals at the round table looked at the fat red-faced man who was silent, and immediately agreed.

The red-faced fat man leaned back in his chair and listened quietly.

"This defensive shield, the wooden shield also relies on General Cangshan," the middle-aged knight turned around and nodded to the red-faced fat man with a smile, "The commander General has the most powerful engineering troops in the Gray Realm, and the most mysterious carpentry team. With the help of the general, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Humph! It's okay if you want me to contribute, but after the victory I have to take a big portion. The red-faced fat man sat on his chair and shook twice, and replied in a hoarse voice.

"That's nature, that's what we said beforehand. Whoever contributes the most gets more. The middle-aged knight crossed his arms and looked at everyone with a smile, "Then without further ado, let's prepare now!" ”

When the Quartet was not harvesting wood and building a defensive wooden shield corridor, Yue Jingru looked at Qin Hao and Xia Duoduo with relaxed faces on the city wall of Wuding Mansion, and after moving his mouth a few times, he couldn't help but ask softly: "The two of you don't seem to care about this battle at all?" ”

"What's the point of that? If you continue to fight, as long as you don't interfere with the Lord of the Gray Realm, whatever you want, what does it matter to me if you beat people's heads into dogs' heads? Xia Duoduo muttered in a low voice that didn't care.

"Really? I see......" Yue Jingru's face immediately softened, and after she calmed down, she said, "But there is a rumor recently that they have received the help of the Nicanado magician. In order to repay the magician, they launched a palace war against the Lord of the Gray Realm. ”

"What? Forced palace battle! They're crazy! The Gray Land can't be without a master! The corners of Xia Duoduo's mouth rose upward, and he scolded angrily.

"This Nikanado magician, is that referring to Catherine?" Qin Hao's voice sounded on one side, and he confirmed towards Yue Jingru with a serious face.

"Isn't this ...... Catherine, who didn't know, just sent back the news that Nikanado's powerful magicians were active in the Four Directions, and their target was the Lord of the Gray Realm and the magical inheritance of the Gray Land behind it. ”
