Chapter 1657: The Soldiers Are Divided into Two Ways 3
♂
The muffled sound of a horn rang out in the City of Guns, and the sound was clearly heard in every corner of the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe faces of the people who heard the horn were quite ugly, and it was a sign that the war was about to begin. Then at the urging of the officers, the soldiers took up arms, and the militia, who volunteered for battle, began to send cartloads of shells and arrows to the defensive line of the city walls.
A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old carried a box of cannonballs to a cannon on the city wall, put down the cannonballs, and looked down the city, and the young man's face was suddenly full of panic. In the distance outside the city, a dark red line was advancing in the direction of Gun City, and the vast lineup made the young man's heart beat wildly.
"Don't be in a daze, check the chamber quickly." A middle-aged man next to him shouted.
The young man came back to his senses and said as he did his work, "Are we going to lose?" ”
"I don't know." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe, but now, we have no choice but to fight." I heard that these things did not leave prisoners, and after they broke through several cities, all those who surrendered were killed. ”
"Why is this happening, and where is this stuff coming from?" The young man said fearfully.
At this time, an officer shouted: "The militia have come with me and distributed weapons." ”
The middle-aged man took the young man next to him, and the two of them followed the flow to the quartermaster office under the city, where they received shields, swords, or spears from the quartermaster and his assistants. Some of these weapons were stained with blood, and they were taken from the hands of the war dead. Holding a bloodstained sword, the young man's hand was already shaking, and the middle-aged man took his hand and said, "Wait a minute, you stand behind me." ”
When the weapons were distributed, the quartermaster drew his sword and said, "Follow me." ”
When the militia came to the city gates, the quartermaster stood on a high ground and shouted: "This is our city, this is our home." Today, we will defend it to the death! We must guard this door, and we must not let the monsters outside open it! ”
"I will fight with you, and if I am going to die, I will die before you."
With that, he jumped down and stood in front of the militiamen.
Then a cannon rang out on the walls, and the war began!
In addition to the guns on the city walls, some of the defensive artillery on the city walls were provided by the army of the Panlong Empire. The cannons from the Eastern Empire were painted vermilion, and the muzzles were cast into dragon heads, and these red dragon cannons were quite powerful, and their range was a little longer than that of the guns in Gun City.
Therefore, it was also the Red Dragon cannon of the Easterners who took the lead in firing.
The red dragon cannons fired continuously, and the shells arced in the air and fell to the battlefield in the distance, and the fireballs exploded one after another. But the flames of the explosion will still be extinguished, and the monsters will crash straight out of the flames. Except for being killed by a shell, the flames of the explosion did not pose much of a threat to them. Ebonnes' combat units are usually highly resistant to fire and heat, and even the Firechildren are not afraid of the gunpowder-fueled flames of the material world.
This point has been repeatedly demonstrated, so the Gun City side did not intend to use fire pots from the beginning. You must know that in the previous war with the eastern army, the large-scale throwing of fire cans and the creation of a large area of fire stopped the pace of the invaders. But this is obviously useless against the Burning Legion, and it is more threatening to use muskets or bows and arrows.
Hoy placed a large number of musketeers and archers on the city walls, and as soon as the enemy entered range, the archers rained down like a dense rain of arrows into the burning army. The Firehorns who were at the front of the line were immediately shot into hedgehogs, but even though they were full of arrows, they still died immediately, often rushing out for a while before falling to the ground. The soldiers who want to be replaced by humans have already swallowed their breath, and this terrifying vitality is even Huo Yi frowned.
A large number of fire horns are used as cannon fodder to constantly attract the firepower of the Gun City, consuming the shells and arrows of the Gun City. But knowing this, Huo Yi couldn't order the army to stop attacking, even the Fire Horn Demon who was cannon fodder was much stronger than ordinary soldiers. These beasts are also adept at climbing, and if they are allowed to climb the wall, the consequences can be devastating.
Therefore, the artillery and arrows on the gun city side did not stop for a moment, and the reserves in the city were quickly depleted.
At this moment, the sky resounded with the sound of flapping wings, and a red cloud flew in the direction of Gun City, which was an air unit composed of thousands of fire boys. The fire boys' stomachs flushed, and they spewed fireballs in the direction of Gun City. For a while, the sky seemed to be raining a meteor shower, and the scene was spectacular.
Huo Yi roared with a blue face: "Raise your shield, be careful of the fireballs of those things!" ”
The fireballs spewed out by the fire boy were just as powerful as they were outnumbered, and thousands of fireballs fell on the walls of the Gun City like a torrential rain, causing a series of explosions and flames. However, after going through a few battles, he has long been aware of the fire boy's offensive gun city. The soldiers fighting on the city walls each had a light shield coated with a fireproof layer, and when the fireball landed on it and exploded, the flames would be quickly extinguished.
However, many parts of the city were on fire, and there were already soldiers who sprinkled lime and quickly caught fire.
"Shoot those guys down there!" Hoy shouted.
So half of the archers turned their arrows and threw them at the fire boy above, and immediately the red cloud kept falling down the fire boy's body, and the red cloud thinned out a lot.
Huo Yi breathed a sigh of relief, those little monsters in the air couldn't spray fireballs continuously, and there would be a certain gap in time every time, and he also observed it several times before he found out, so he just needed to catch the gap attack.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard someone shouting, "Be careful, the other cavalry is coming!" ”
Huo Yi looked down at the city, and sure enough, an iron cavalry was coming in the direction of the city wall, Huo Yi knew the strength of this cavalry, and immediately ordered: "Trebuchet prepare, smash it hard for me!" ”
Some shirtless, strong men work in pairs to place large chunks of stones onto the trebuchet's thrower. A moment later, a terrifying roar rang out from the city walls, and boulders flew out, drawing parabolas and smashing into the Flame Knights' long formation.
The Flame Knight is far superior to the Horn of Fire in terms of mobility and combat power, but the face of the boulder thrown from the sky is still as fragile as a piece of paper, this kind of domineering physical attack is the nemesis of the Flame Knight, a large stone will definitely splash a huge blood splash when it falls.
It's just that although the trebuchet's attack is overbearing, the number of Flame Knights is too large, and the trebuchet can't keep up with the speed of the Flame Knight's advancement. At this time, drums sounded from under the city, and from each side of the city wall, a group of cavalrymen in red armor and red clothes rushed out, and the cavalrymen had a spear about two meters long, the spear was firmly tied to the horse's back, and the cavalry held the reins in one hand and the spear in the other, and launched a charge under the sound of drums.
The cavalry of the Eastern Army also went into battle!
