Chapter 363 The Gate of Damnation (5)

The howling cold wind swept through his neck, and even the thick cotton clothes could not resist the cold of Northrend.

The solution is simple, just a scroll to protect against the cold.

With Yi Qi's wealth, he naturally wouldn't treat himself badly in this kind of thing, so the moment he walked out of the tent, he directly tore up a spell scroll.

As for... Ordinary soldiers, there is no such treatment.

Fortunately, there are hundreds of steel bumps standing on the position, which can provide them with some shelter from the wind.

These steel lumps are the siege equipment produced in the Iron Fort, among which the steam thrower is the main one.

Thrower... To put it bluntly, it is a strengthened trebuchet, except that the range has been doubled and the rate of fire has been doubled several times, there is basically no difference in the construction principle between the two.

In order to increase the power of the dropper, the dwarf craftsmen also specially developed an alchemy bomb that can be used with the dropper, so the steam thrower can not only throw stones, but also bombs.

At this moment, test firing is underway on the position.

If you can increase the range of the trebuchet to more than a kilometer, don't hope too much for accuracy or something, as long as the error does not exceed 100 meters, it is within an acceptable range, anyway, the gate of damnation is so big, no matter how crooked... Can you still fly into the sky?

Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~!

With a continuous sound of breaking through the air, the boulders drew several graceful parabolas one after another, and then embedded themselves in the frozen ground in front of the Gate of Damnation.

The biggest difference between the caster and the trebuchet is the surprise of the power plant - after the caster replaced the rudimentary machine with steam power, its power and range were improved.

However, from the perspective of the people who came to Yiqi, the use of the steam device on the backward trebuchet was itself a cannon to fight mosquitoes, and with the powerful power of the steam device, the dwarf craftsmen could make more powerful weapons.

It's just that the thinking is rigid, and sometimes... People will always be trapped in the same frame and will not be able to break free until the pioneers break the shackles of the past and see a colorful new world.

Of course, there is no doubt about the power of the thrower.

The frozen ground is no less hard than the walls of the Gate of Damnation, and the fact that it can easily penetrate into the frozen soil shows that the thrower is powerful enough to smash the Gate of Damnation.

After completing the test shot, the soldiers began to reload the droppers with alchemy bombs.

However, this time the target of the attack was not the Gate of Damnation, but the wandering undead around the fortress - although the wandering undead would not go half a step beyond the thunder pool, their very existence was an obstacle.

The expeditionary force can't ignore them and attack the Gate of Damnation, right?

Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~!

I saw that the metal balls the size of the grinding disc were sent into the sky by the steam projection, and after flying to the highest point, they began to split and spontaneously combust, and finally turned into a rain of fire and sprinkled on the ground.

The alchemy bomb was doped with a lot of combustion-supporting materials, so after the flame landed, instead of extinguishing it, it burned more and more, and in the blink of an eye... And a sea of fire ignited.

Due to the lack of self and consciousness, the wandering undead and Ben did not know how to escape and dodge, and soon became fuel for the sea of fire......

……

After two rounds of projectiles, the earth burned into flames, and the soldiers began to reload the boulders and fine-tune the muzzle direction.

At this moment, Yi Qi suddenly felt something, and then stared at the Gate of Heaven's Damnation.

Although there were walls blocking the view, he knew that the Scourge Legion was starting to move, because the resentment scattered throughout the fortress was converging in the direction of the gate, and he wanted to come... It should be the troops that are gathering.

Sure enough, with just two rounds of boulder throwing, hundreds of bone behemoths poured out of the Gate of Damnation......

……

The Dragonbone Wastes are not only a sacred place for dragons, but also a destination for them when they die, with each dragon returning to the Dragon's Grave at the end of their lives.

However, after the rise of the Lich King, that all changed.

In order to expand their military strength, the Scourge not only captured the five dragon temples in the Dragonbone Wilderness, but also directly drove the dragons out of Northrend, and only a group of red dragons led by the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza still stood in the Dragon Sleep Temple to resist the Scourge.

As for... The Scourge Legion, after driving away the dragons, began to point to the dragons' burial ground, the Dragon's Tomb.

Dragons that were powerful in life will be directly reincarnated into undead dragons, while dragons that are weaker will be transformed into bone beasts by the lichs......

……

The sudden attack of the Scourge Legion caused a lot of turmoil in the siege equipment troops, and even the most stupid guys could see the intention of the undead - to destroy the siege equipment.

To put it simply, the undead attacked this time in order to kill themselves, so how did the soldiers not panic?

However, under the intimidation and whipping of the law enforcement team, the soldiers could only continue to operate the steam thrower in fear.

The law enforcement team may seem impersonal, but what they do is not wrong, because this is war!

War is a cruel game with no room for manoeuvre!

The rapid changes of the battlefield and the fleeting of fighters, the test... It's all the commander's ability to respond, and his decision-making is related to the overall situation, so how can he have the time and experience to reason with the soldiers?

So, what the commander-in-chief needs... Only obedience.

If even intimidation and whipping don't work, then there is only one way for the sword to face each other......

……

At the front of the siege position, Yi Qi was like an invisible man, wandering on the edge of the crowd.

Interestingly, it was just the soldiers who passed by, or the officers who carried out the dispatch, all turned a blind eye to him, and only the logistics squad leader followed him step by step.

As for... The rest of the logistics team, as early as the beginning of the test firing of the thrower, began to run around in a tired way to deal with endless and varied failures.

And the logistics squad leader......

He is a typical craftsman, some of the philistines of the small people in the market, and some of the knowledge that the low-level people do not have, must have traveled north and south when he was young.

After the war began, the squad leader changed the gloom on his face and became calm and calm.

This is, a kind of wisdom of little people.

Because he is a small person, the squad leader knows very well that the war will not be deviated by his own will, and the current excessive worry will only hasten his own death, and the past experience is still reminding him that the Seventh Legion will never turn a blind eye to the counterattack of the undead.

In fact, long before the start of the test firing, the Seventh Army was at the front of the position, building several lines of defense.

Still, there was a hint of worry in Yi Qi's eyes.

Unlike the squad leader's concerns, the squad leader's worries... It is from the unknown, and Yiqi's worries are from the known.

Even if the Seventh Legion were able to stop the onslaught of the behemoths, they would be nothing more than a drop in the bucket compared to the resentment gathered in the Gate of Damnation......
