Chapter 140: The Journey of the Empire (2)
"Boom!"
A huge fireball burning with thick flames fell from the sky and landed in the city of Bolanco, and suddenly I saw a huge stone ball with fierce flames, kicking up a huge amount of smoke and dust in the city, and the flames quickly began to spread.
The huge stone ball rolled down, and suddenly saw a few orcs who couldn't dodge, directly crushed into meat sauce, and the stone ball contaminated with fire oil immediately ignited a raging fire, igniting the neighborhood, many people were directly splashed with fire oil, directly turned into a fire man, and were burned to death in the screaming struggle, and at the same time, quickly, there were many people who were ready on both sides to rush out and start fighting the fire.
And with the fall of the flame stone ball, the sky one after another fireballs continue to emerge, one by one continue to fall into the city, and following the source of the fireball, traced back to the outside of the city, it can be seen that a whole row of catapults continue to operate, the flame stone balls continue to surrender to the city wall and the city.
And outside the city, there are a large number of orc armies standing densely, in the sun, reflecting the bright armor, at a glance, as if there is no end in sight, the number of tens of thousands, it looks like there is a feeling of boundlessness, especially the 50,000 army lined up in the distance, you can see the army of the Cyranco, all the way along the hillside to the back, and there are more behind.
Spears were everywhere, shields were held, and everyone was eyeing the city of Bolanco, and with the continuous bombardment of the city of Bolanco by catapults, everyone could feel the momentum of a black cloud pressing on the top, so that they couldn't raise their heads.
This kind of war weapon that has not been in the human kingdom for a long time, it is said that it can be traced back to the human body, and the first large-scale war that appeared was the orc kingdom, and Vildanti was in the battle for the throne with the mad king Raymond Geton Narando.
With the support of the Church of the Sun, Verdanti obtained the design drawings of the catapult and recruited a large number of craftsmen to start making it, so that he could be invincible in the subsequent siege of the city, forcing Raymond Guyton to surrender and relinquish the throne of King Engidó.
After that, everyone really realized the power of this catapult, and many nearby kingdoms began to purchase this kind of catapult from the human kingdom.
These orcs in the south of Enguido actually got a large number of catapults, and bombarded the city of Blanco, but fortunately, Blanco City is a war fortress, after hundreds of years of war, holding the important place, so the city wall is built high and large, and it is definitely not easy to blast open.
Moreover, the city wall is not built in the traditional square city or circle, but in the posture of a pentagram, so that the opponent can attack and shoot from any direction, and the wall is stronger, this is a real war fortress, and it is precisely because of this that Wolf Tu has a little confidence in defending the city with three thousand knights and miscellaneous soldiers in the city and the personnel who have just been mobilized.
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency!"
Wolf Tu shuttled through the tunnel between the city walls, and the chain mail was covered with a purple sun-patterned burqa, representing his Templar identity, passing by, the surrounding soldiers and archers quickly stood up and saluted Wolf Tu, Wolf Tu nodded slightly, and the sound of catapults bombarding the city and the city walls continued to be heard in his ears, and several generals who followed him immediately lost their breath.
"My lord, should we use our catapult to fight back, it will disrupt their rhythm and maybe destroy their catapult!" A young dog clan general wearing chain mail and carrying a long sword followed behind Wolf Tu, and couldn't help but speak.
Wolf Tu climbed to the top of the city and looked at the opponent's army, the shock of the black and crushed human heads densely displayed in front of him was enough to make those who had not been on the battlefield scared their legs, not to mention that there were fireballs flying above their heads from time to time, and even many soldiers were curled up in the corners of the wall and shivering.
At this time, a stone ball directly bombarded the nearby city wall, and immediately saw the entire wall shaking violently, and everyone felt that their feet were a little untenable.
Wolf Tu grabbed the dogman general on the side and patted him on the shoulder: "It's not time yet, they are just testing now, their catapult is a large catapult that can reach two hundred meters, while ours is only a medium-sized catapult, which can only throw more than one hundred and thirty meters at most, and you look at the wind speed and direction, it is now beneficial to them, and we are in a headwind." ”
"We fought back at this time, just in line with their strategy, they found the direction of our catapult, and immediately destroyed our catapult, and then we really have no way to deal with it." Wolf Tu followed Verdanti in the battle for the throne and grasped the advantages and disadvantages of catapults on the battlefield very accurately.
The constant bombardment of catapults was very demoralizing to the soldiers in the city and on the city walls, while the wolf figure kept running on the city walls, encouraging these soldiers and giving them courage.
Sure enough, after the other party carried out a round of suppression and temptation, they immediately carried out the siege, and the soldiers of the black pressure pushed and carried various siege equipment and began to rush to the city wall.
At this time, the catapults in the city immediately began to counterattack, and the three thousand knights brought by Wolf Tu were all elite soldiers who had gone through the battle for the throne, including soldiers who could assemble and control the catapults.
The accuracy of the catapult is not high, but the time they grasp and the distance of the other party are very good, compared with the other party, they have a more accurate control of the distance and the direction of the wind.
The other party's several rounds of temptation thought that there were no catapults in the city, and the sudden launch at this time made the other party have no slightest defense, and a large number of troops were bombarded by boulders, crushed over, and the blood stained the city red, and many siege vehicles and siege ladders that were pushed were directly destroyed, one after another, and the other party was dizzy.
However, the other party had a full 50,000 troops, and they still carried it up, and drove the siege ladder to the top of the city to kill it, and the battle situation suddenly became stalemate.
Rolling stones and logs were thrown at the heads of the enemy one by one, and oil and boiling water were poured down continuously, and one by one the orc soldiers screamed and fell from the top of the ladder.
The archers in the city kept shooting down, and the other side continued to rush up to the top of the city as if they were not caring for life and death, and the mighty waves were like stormy waves impacting the city of Bolanco.
The corpses continued to accumulate under the city, piling up a thick layer, and many people had already begun to rush to the city head and start the battle for the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall beat them down in waves.
Wolf Tu took the lead, holding his temple sword, emitting dazzling white light, leading his subordinates to shuttle above the city, and constantly beating the other party.
The Templars and the Priest received the same Divine Seed inheritance, but the Templars and the Priest strengthened their physical bodies differently, while the Templars strengthened their weapons, turning their weapons into deified metal cells little by little, so that they could master the power called Douqi, but fundamentally, it was the same as the Priest's Light Trial, but the emphasis was different.
There were battles everywhere on the city wall, and the soldiers of the opposing side were still crawling towards it, and there were sounds of fighting everywhere, and people were dying every moment, and the smell of blood was so strong that people felt a little sick.
Wolf Tu was covered in blood, and after stabbing a bear orc with a sledgehammer to death, he finally saw that the other party began to retreat, and Wolf Tu knew that this was just the first wave of attrition, and the other party would continue to attack the city behind, and what he promised to his monarch was to hold Blanco for ten full days, he knew that it would be a tragic battle to defend the city, and he would never be able to take half a step back.
