Chapter 299: The Great War

It turned out that Hu Ye's judgment was correct, and the other party quickly gathered more soldiers and began to slowly approach the village.

This time, Count Ross no longer underestimated the enemy, and used heavy siege equipment siege vehicles. Siege engines were armoured ladders that allowed soldiers to climb the city walls on the inside and thick planks on the outside.

This is also the strongest siege machine in World of Warcraft, and ordinary lords simply can't afford to raise such tall equipment. This siege vehicle is still the property of Duke Paul, and it was originally just pushed over to serve as a deterrent, but no one expected that it would really come in handy.

Seeing the enemy attacking again, Vanessa couldn't help but ask Hu Ye curiously, "How do you know that they won't retreat?" ”

Hu Ye smiled faintly: "Count Rose is so greedy, he even wants our cement formula. Now that we have such a good weapon, do you think he and those fox friends will easily let it go? ”

The Brown Knight suddenly realized, and couldn't help nodding and said, "You're right, I underestimated the greed of these people!" ”

Vanessa's focus was not here, but stared at the approaching siege vehicle and asked Hu Ye, "How do you plan to deal with this big guy?" ”

Seeing that the nearby soldiers were also looking at him, Hu Ye simply replied loudly: "Don't worry, in front of our weapons, whether it is a siege vehicle or any other siege equipment, it is just a pile of garbage!" ”

In fact, the soldiers were indeed a little worried when they saw such a big guy slowly approaching. Now Hu Ye's words have given everyone courage and raised their morale again.

Of course, Hu Ye also knows that it is useless to rely on words alone to inspire everyone, and it is necessary to take practical actions. Seeing that the siege vehicle was getting closer and closer, he didn't talk nonsense and took out an RPG directly from the dimensional space.

"It's beautiful!" Hu Ye let out a loud shout, aimed at the siege vehicle and fired a grenade.

The rocket-booster grenade flew towards the siege vehicle with a puff of white smoke, concentrating exactly the middle of the siege vehicle, and then there was a huge explosion.

Wooden siege vehicles may be able to withstand bows and arrows, but they are vulnerable to RPGs. The middle part of the siege engine was blown to pieces in an instant, and the upper part fell staggeringly, crushing several soldiers around.

And those soldiers who hid inside the siege vehicles and prepared to rush to the wall were self-evident in their fate, and they all became the burial objects of the siege vehicles.

"Bastard!" Duke Paul scolded distressedly, but he spent a lot of money to hire the dwarves to build this siege vehicle, but he didn't expect it to be scrapped before it touched the wall.

However, the stronger the strength of Shiraishi Village, the more determined the group of lords wanted to conquer it. Count Ross immediately raised the flag and ordered the soldiers to continue the attack.

At the urging of dozens of knights, the trembling soldiers continued to approach the wall. Although the siege engine was destroyed, they still brought stairs with them, and as long as they could get close to the wall, there was still hope of conquering the village.

The soldiers who launched the attack this time were 1,500 people, and the momentum was much stronger than last time. And the soldiers guarding this wall are less than twenty people in total. Among them, there are only seven or eight gunmen, and the number of the two sides is very different.

Hu Ye knew in his heart that it was impossible to repel the enemy's attack with only seven or eight gunners, so he immediately ordered the anti-aircraft machine gunners at both ends of the city wall in a loud voice: "Prepare for battle, and fire when you get close to a distance of a hundred paces!" ”

In the last battle, the anti-aircraft machine gunners did not have a chance to participate in the battle, and they were already itching. This time they finally had a chance to fire, and they all nodded excitedly, indicating that they had received Hu Ye's order.

The enemy continued to approach the walls and soon reached a distance of a hundred paces. Anti-aircraft machine guns at both ends of the wall simultaneously spewed out long tongues of fire, pouring bullets on the enemy's heads.

At the same time, Hu Ye also loudly ordered the other gunners to open fire, and a dozen or so automatic weapons fired with all their strength in front of the wall, immediately disrupting the enemy's formation.

Compared to assault rifles, anti-aircraft machine guns are frighteningly more lethal. All the soldiers who were hit were miserable, and even if they only hit the limbs, the injuries were terrible. Unless they can ask the pastor of the Church of Light to heal their wounds, there is little hope of surviving with the medical conditions of this world.

Vanessa fired specifically at the knights, even if those knights had a fighting spirit, but in front of Barrett, they were no different from ordinary soldiers, and they were named by female thieves one after another, and they soon died.

At the same time, ordinary soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, and only more than 900 of the 1,500 people remained, and many others were seriously wounded, lying in pools of blood and screaming helplessly.

Without the knights to suppress the formation, the soldiers naturally had no intention of fighting again, and retreated and fled one after another. When the lords in the back saw this scene, their faces were all pale. Now they all know very well in their hearts that if they want to capture Baishi Village, the price they will pay is greater than they expected before.

However, the endless array of powerful weapons in Baishi Village has completely aroused the greed of the lords. Therefore, no one felt that there should be a truce, and they were all bent on conquering Baishi Village and digging out all the secrets of this small village.

Count Ross was furious, and after two battles, his men were almost completely killed and wounded. Although everyone wants to capture Shiraishi Village, they can't rely on ordinary tactics alone, but they have to use some unusual means to do so.

So Count Rose, together with several lords, went to a tent in the barracks, talked respectfully with the people in the tent for a while, and left one by one contentedly.

As for Baishi Village, Hu Ye asked those lords to inform them and allow them to approach and clean up the battlefield. There were thousands of corpses and wounded soldiers outside Baishi Village, and Hu Ye didn't want to leave these corpses outside the village, which could easily cause a plague.

The lords soon sent men to clean up the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and collect the bodies of the dead. It's not so much about how kind they are, it's about appeasing their men. If you let your subordinates know that they don't even care about the corpses after they die, the morale of the already good people will be even lowered.

For the rest of the day, there were no more battles. Until the early morning of the next day, the drumbeat of the attack sounded in the military camp of the lords, and a group of soldiers escorted a dozen or so people out of the military camp and slowly walked in the direction of Baishi Village.

However, these people had no intention of approaching the village, so they stopped more than two hundred steps away from Baishi Village and stood in a circle, not knowing what the hell they were doing.

The Brown Knight picked up the binoculars and looked at them, and soon said in surprise: "It's the magicians, the magicians from Dalaran, they are in the same league as the Count of Rose!" ”
