Just as Zhang Yuan knew the importance of this battle, so did the marshal of the barbarians. This is not only a campaign war, but also a strategic one, which has a bearing on the overall situation of the mainland's melee.

"Kill the mounts, all the boar mounts of the boar cavalry are killed, they have no effect in the siege. Let our soldiers feast on the battle, and after more than an hour, start the attack. Without my orders, the attack will never stop until Karpal is taken. ”

The barbarian marshal Harpy gave a death order to his subordinates, and the boar mounts of the big-eared monster knights fell, accompanied by the blood light, and the smoke curled up, and the sorrow and anger of death filled the entire barbarian army. The almost frozen atmosphere made every barbarian soldier know that the battle was in front of him. They must not lose.

Wang Daqiang came to stand behind Zhang Yuan silently, his expression was also solemn, although he had combat power far beyond ordinary people, but after all, they were just one person. The 100,000 army in front of him was almost impossible to see. This is the first time they have faced such a scene.

Zhang Yuan At this time, he knew that he must not have any cringe.

In the middle of the day, the smoke of the cooking stove in the distance gradually dissipated, and the faint smell of blood carried through the wind to the head of the city of Karpal. Hodfe sighed and said, "They killed the mounts and ate them to prepare for the siege. It seems that this time the barbarians are determined not to die. ”

Zhang Yuan said lightly: "They are ruined, do we still have a way out?" Remember, warriors of Erathia! Behind you are the countless fathers, people, brothers and sisters of the Kingdom of Erathia. You form this last line of defense. Not much, we only need to hold out for five days, and in the absence of any supplies, the barbarians will retreat. Five days, five days to withstand at any cost! Then, we will win! ”

"Victory! Victory! The generals of the Northwest Elasia Local Garrison roared. The Elasia garrison also quickly began to eat, and after the same feast on both sides, almost at the same time as the warriors of the city of Karpal stood up, the barbarian army finally moved. The two armies on the left and right sent 5,000 men each, with their siege equipment, and rushed towards the city of Karpal as fast as they could.

"Catapult." Hodfer let out a loud shout. On the city wall, more than 100 catapults pulled their machine springs at the same time, and in the rattling sound, huge stones had entered the catapults, watching the enemy approach. Everyone was waiting quietly.

"Ballista." Hodfer drank again. At the head of the city, thousands of ballistae that could fire heavy crossbow arrows up to a meter long drew their bowstrings at the same time. Compared to catapults, they are clearly much more numerous.

After the army of five thousand barbarians, another five thousand appeared, and they seemed to have been ready to fill the gap as soon as the five thousand men in front of them failed to charge. For survival, for strategic purposes, the barbarians are already a little crazy.

"Look, what's that?" One of Hodfe's generals exclaimed. Looking in the direction he pointed, he saw more than a dozen huge figures appear among the forty thousand people in front of the barbarians.

Zhang Yuan's face changed, and he shouted: "It's the one-eyed king, quick!" Shoot them, archers. "After all, it was still a little late to discover, and when the archer's arrows shot out and hit the bodies of more than a dozen one-eyed kings, huge stones were thrown on the city walls, and the screams continued, and circles of blood-colored ripples of flesh had erupted among the guards of the city.

At this time, the shamanic troops behind also began to bless the barbarians with magic. All the barbarian warriors shrouded in magic instantly swelled their muscles, their eyes filled with blood, and rushed towards the city at a faster speed than before. Bloodlust is the bloodlust of the barbarian shaman.

With the full strength of hundreds of shamans, the thousands of barbarian warriors on the ground at the front of the charge suddenly entered a bloodthirsty state and rushed towards the city of Karpal at a faster speed. At the same time, the barbarian landfillers were also quickly carrying sandbags in the direction of the moat.

"Ballista, get rid of those shamans for me." Zhang Yuan shouted loudly, he knew that if these shamans were allowed to play freely. Then, all you have to face will be a barbarian impact of the dead soldier.

At the same time, Hodfer also gave the order to attack. In an instant, the ballista and catapult were at the same time, and the sound of the machine spread throughout the city.

Zhang Yuan commanded the wind and thunder magicians to immediately dispatch, and lightning burst out, the shields blocking the shamans were shattered, and the next moment, the dozens of shamans had turned into charcoal.

The attacks of the Wind and Thunder Mages were no match for these fragile shamans. After receiving Zhang Yuan's order, the magicians of the earth, water and fire systems also took action, and under the attacks of ice, fire, thunder, stone, wind, water, earth, flameburst and other magic, the magicians easily solved the shamans in the enemy's battle array.

While the magicians had dealt with the dozens of shamans, the thousands of barbarian soldiers at the front, already bloodthirsty, had rushed to the moat.

The power of ballistas and catapults is absolutely terrifying. Although the speed and strength of these bloodthirsty soldiers had increased a lot, before they could swim across the moat, they were immediately completely destroyed by a rain of arrows and huge rocks.

Zhang Yuan shouted: "The catapult stops attacking, and the archers continue." All the magicians are ready to respond. ”

The losses of the siege were undoubtedly enormous, but the barbarians launched round after round of charges as if they did not know what life and death were. The ladders were erected directly on both sides of the moat, and a large number of landfillers braved the rain of arrows to carry the sand and gravel forward. When one group of landfillers died, another group would rush up and push forward the bags of sand and gravel they had fallen on.

Countless blood stained the earth, and corpses with severed limbs and arms were scattered in front of the city of Karpal, and this cruel war finally began.

The siege engines under the city continued to move forward, and the barbarians erected dozens of arrow towers in front of the city and fired at the head of the city of Karpal.

At this time, although it was still difficult for the barbarians to cross the moat to form a real threat to the city of Calpal, the Erathians in the city knew that this was only the beginning, and the real bitter battle was yet to come. The moat in front of the city was being filled with sacks of sand and stones, and the barbarian charge became more rapid.

A large number of shields were erected at the head of the city to resist the arrows shot from the opposite side, and Huo Defei eagerly said to Zhang Yuan, who was without armor: "Lord Duke, retreat a little bit first, so as not to be injured by the loss." ”

Zhang Yuan shook his head, his expression was very calm, not moved by the situation under the city at all, and said firmly: "General Hodfei, please go to supervise the logistics troops of the army, and be sure to ensure the quantity of various materials in the city." ”

At least a few thousand orcs of the barbarian army below fired axes in a volley to suppress the archers and ballistas of the city. Suddenly, the attack on the city wall became a little weaker.

At this time, the tens of thousands of troops of the barbarian vanguard had completely reached the city. At the front were the heavily armored infantry, which was transported to the front line by tank, and although it was slow, it was extremely defensive. Each infantryman came to the moat with a large tower shield taller than his own in his hand.

The hoplites stacked their towers and shields together to form a strong line of defense, and even heavy crossbows could hardly penetrate their massive shields, which were half a foot thick.

Zhang Yuan looked at the scene under the city coldly and shouted: "Catapult." Zhang Yuan let out a loud shout, and the catapult, which had ceased fire under his orders, was pulled up again. With a rattling sound, dozens of huge stone projectiles fell from the sky and fell towards the other side of the moat.

For a while, the screams resounded, and although the tower shield was amazingly defended, it was still too far behind the boulders emitted by the catapult. The heavily armored infantry of ogres, barbarians, and cyclops in heavy armor were immediately thrown into disarray by the huge stones.
