Act 163: The Battle of Yunfeng City (2)
As soon as he finished applying the [Power Blessing] to the boy, Sylne heard a "boom" sound in his ears, and one after another the stone balls dragging the long tail flame were smashed out by the trebuchet, and the stone balls flew into the depths of the dense fog and suddenly burst out with a burst of strong light, allowing people to vaguely see the situation inside the dense fog.
Apparently, the orbs had been modified by the magicians.
As stone balls were thrown into the fog, the people finally saw something that frightened them - the siege tower!
"Hell! The undead have siege towers!? ”
Cold sweat broke out on Syrne's forehead, she was very sure that this time the undead were real! She'd never heard of an undead siege using such a heavy siege machine! Even if it was an attack on the Black Thorn Castle before, these undead would at most use some shoddy logs and the like, which was easy to deal with.
However, due to the thick fog, Sylne and the defenders did not see it all, and when the undead gradually came out of the thick fog, people could not help but be surprised again.
Siege Towers! Ladder! Rush the car! As the necromancers removed the fog to avoid affecting the accuracy of their catapults, Sylne and the others discovered that trebuchets could be seen in the distance!
"These damn cults of the Damned! They all deserve hell! ”
Sylne shouted angrily, how could she not think of where these siege machines came from, brainless undead can't make these complex tools, berserkers don't have any skills other than cutting down trees, and brained necromancers don't bother to do this kind of craftsman's work, and only humans from the Cursed God Cult can make and operate these tools!
More than the undead, Sylne hates these scum who are obviously living but help to abuse!
Before the army of the undead reached the city walls, the trebuchets of both sides began to attack each other, but the sights of both sides were unbearable. Fortunately, whether it is a huge city wall or a dense network of undead, it is almost impossible to still deviate from the target, as long as it is smashed out, it will not find nothing.
Sylne clenched the hilt of his sword and shouted, "Get ready, the undead are coming!" ”
Sylne held up the small telescope that the white steel had given her, and in the lens, everything in the distance could be seen so clearly. The towering siege towers are full of skeletons, and lickers don't like crowded environments, so they climb in groups of three or five outside the siege towers, and once the towers get close to the walls, they will jump over and kill!
Siege towers full of monsters are heavy, but they are driven by a few powerful Abominations, which, while slow, have the advantage of being a great battlefield porter with their fat bodies that are not afraid of normal attacks.
From time to time, the skeleton soldiers would lean over and rub their weapons against the body of the abomination, contaminated with some corpse poison secreted by the abomination, with which even the rusty weapons in the hands of the skeleton soldiers were deadly!
The mighty army of the undead frightened the defenders of Yunfeng City, and even the small officer who was in charge of commanding the ballista beside Sylne was stunned and forgot to attack for a while.
"What are you still doing!? Attack the siege towers now! With rockets! ”
Sylne yelled at the junior officer, and the man was stunned, then reacted and kicked the gunner who was still stunned next to him.
"Don't look at it, reload your crossbow arrows!"
The gunners panicked and turned the ratchet of the ballista, and when the string of the crossbow was opened, they placed the large crossbow bolts tied with asphalt tarpaulin, lit them, and then struck the wedge, and the bolts flew out towards the siege tower.
With a muffled sound, the bolts landed on the siege tower, but the burning asphalt flames failed to ignite the planks of the siege tower.
The furious gunner spat and said, "Those cursed god cult guys are veterans!" Know how to put mud on wooden boards. ”
The siege tower is very afraid of fire attack, so experienced old craftsmen will paint the surface of the tower with yellow mud, and after drying, it can defend against fire attack to a certain extent. Although the mud shell is easy to fall off in this way, the siege tower is originally a one-time consumable, and the time spent in the charge can still be resisted.
"Change the blasting arrow!"
A crossbow bolt with a magic scroll mounted on it was equipped with a ballista, this time with a much better effect than a flaming arrow, and the violent explosion blew a hole in the plank, and even blew up a licker, but unfortunately this level of damage was not enough to kill it.
The success of one attack immediately led to a blasting arrow attack from ballistas, and soon the explosion on the siege tower was resounding. However, the siege towers of the undead are very strong, and although they are riddled with holes, they are still slowly advancing.
The undead are not human after all, and even crumbling siege towers can still support the weight of those skeleton soldiers.
Seeing the siege tower getting closer and closer, an attacking magic array hidden behind the wall of the Syrnes finally couldn't help but open fire.
A huge ray of arcane energy slammed into the siege tower, easily smashing the tower to pieces, and the skeletons inside fell to the ground like rain, and then were smashed to pieces by the remains of the siege tower.
The unabated arcane energy ray not only wiped out all of the abomination of Tuta, but also wiped out a wave of skeletons and ghouls around it.
"Wow! That's our magic array! See you brainless bones! If you dare to come, our magic array will kill you all! ”
The little officer commanding the ballista excitedly lay on the female wall and yelled at the undead in the distance, and the soldiers around him also laughed excitedly.
Before the excitement of the soldiers had passed, they saw the counterattack of the undead trebuchets in the distance - their target was the magic array that had been wielding before!
The dark green projectile was not very accurate, none of them hit the defense tower where the magic array was located, but the projectile that burst emitted a strong stench, and the surrounding soldiers covered their stomachs and vomited wildly, and their faces turned black in a few minutes, and then they lay on the ground softly, their breathing became weaker and weaker, and finally died.
"It's an enhanced [Plague Cloud]!"
Sylne recognized the true face of the poisonous mist at a glance.
The dark green projectiles came in another wave, this time the poisonous fog was even thicker, and the priests near the defense tower had to treat the poisoned soldiers and disperse the poisonous mist, and they also had to protect the mages to continue to use the magic array, and the manpower was soon insufficient.
The mage is strong, but the [Blight Cloud] that has been specially strengthened by the necromancer is far less professional than the priest, and if you want to continue to fight in this poisonous fog environment, you must have a priest to follow.
Sylne watched the surrounding towers rise one by one with poisonous mist, and couldn't help frowning—now the priests were all nailed! She even saw that several priests who were in charge of the city walls had to withdraw to help!
With fewer priests on the city walls, the more pressure on them!
