Chapter 390: War Four
The situation was urgent, and after the herald gave the order, the officers on the city walls began to shout loudly for their subordinates to hurry to cover and take refuge.
Although the soldiers did not know what was going on, an order was an order, and there was no room for half a point of resistance, so they put down their weapons and shells one after another, and ran towards the bunker quickly and without being chaotic.
The rest of the time is for the magicians to start performing, although the artillery and the magic source cannon look fierce, but at most it is an appetizer, and it is still up to the magician to really be able to fight against the demonic beasts and deal with those high-level demonic beasts.
Even the Demon Warriors can only protect the magicians on the city walls, so that they can perform their magic with peace of mind.
It's just a sixth-level flying demonic beast jackdaw, no matter how many there are, it is nothing in the eyes of hundreds of great magicians and thousands of magic mages.
The place where magicians are most concentrated is this section of the city wall in the middle of the battlefield of Dukmahon, especially around the second emperor's uncle Asa, which is surrounded by more than a dozen great magicians.
Of course, this is also the most fortified place, and it seems that those jackdaws also know that as soon as they pass through the strait, they immediately begin to disperse, except for a few jackdaws who fly to the high platform in the middle, the others fly to other parts of the city wall, and there are even many soldiers who fly directly over the city wall and want to attack the back of the city wall.
150,000 ordinary soldiers are not only a lot of help to magicians, but they are also a big burden, after all, it is the lives of 150,000 people, and no matter how cold-blooded magicians are, it is impossible to turn a blind eye.
If this had not been thought of before the war, and a very large number of fortifications had been built for ordinary soldiers, I am afraid that this large flock of jackdaws alone would have caused very large losses to the army.
There were so many jackdaws, even if they were scattered, they were as black as a cloud, and Antoine had already run to the bunker he had entered during the ramparts.
This bunker was temporarily built by the earth magician, which can resist the magic of ordinary low-level magical beasts, can accommodate dozens of people, and there is a downward passage next to it, if the high-level magical beasts attack, you can also go down the ladder of the passage to the inside of the city wall.
But if you are attacked by a super powerful Warcraft, then you can only ask for more blessings, after all, this is a life-and-death battle with Warcraft, where is there an absolutely safe place?
Maybe it was because they killed too many monsters just now, and ordinary soldiers would not have the opportunity to fight face-to-face with monsters, Antoine's team in the bunker, as well as several other squads, did not have any fear at all, but talked and laughed, talking about the battle just now.
"It's so enjoyable, it's so enjoyable, I just counted, and I fired a total of 186 shots. Antoine shouted excitedly.
Because of the continuous firing of the cannon, even if he was wearing earplugs, his ears were still shaken by the sound of the cannon, and he had not slowed down until now, so the volume of his speech was very high.
"You're amazing, I only fired more than 150 cannons, and then the two of them really can't move the shells, I'm not as strong as you. Another gunner, who had trained with Antoine next to him, also said loudly.
"I don't know what's going on outside, it turns out that the dark cloud is a flying demonic beast, fortunately the generals reminded it early, otherwise we wouldn't be able to fly and demonic beasts." ”
"Don't worry, there are magicians, let's just hide here with peace of mind, and when the magicians kill these flying monsters, let's go and shoot again!"
"Be quiet, take the time to rest, and talk less!" shouted one of the officers, like the men.
Antoine didn't care about him, if he hadn't liked artillery, he volunteered to be an artilleryman, maybe he was a little higher than the young officer, and he still spoke loudly.
"What kind of flying monster are you?"
"I know! It must be dark!"
"Haha, then I also know, it must be able to fly. ”
"What you are talking about is nonsense, of course flying monsters can fly, I can see that they are black from afar, this is not surprising, I also know that any monster can be eaten by Antoine!"
The young officer could do nothing with Antoine, but he could hurt him in the mouth.
Antoine was not angry, and said with a smile: "Of course, I am not a magician, how can I beat a demonic beast, and I can still fly." ”
When he laughed, the people in the cover laughed too.
Just as they were having fun, all of a sudden, there was a "bang bang bang" sound on the roof of the bunker, as if something was attacking.
The laughter immediately stopped, and everyone became nervous.
"The monster is coming, let's go down the city wall!"
"Wait, I don't think there's anything wrong with this bunker. ”
"Coward, what are you afraid of, there is a magician master outside who is fighting with the demonic beast, and if you want to go, you have to wait for the order to go!"
There is a telephone in each bunker, and the line of the telephone is inside the city walls, so there is no fear of being damaged by the attack of the monster.
The sound of "bang bang" became more and more intense, and now people stopped talking and their expressions became nervous. Beauty Nest
After a while, the "bang bang" was still ringing, and Antoine felt the temperature in the bunker gradually drop.
"I'm a little cold, what about you?"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"It's hot and cold, hot and cold, and it's so uncomfortable. Antoine grumbled quietly.
"Come on, this is a battlefield, you think it's in the barracks? ”
"Don't talk, everyone be quiet, hold on and wait for orders. "The officer is twenty-three or four-four years old, and it is because he graduated from the University of Oskaia and has a lot more knowledge than this group of big men and coarse people that he was promoted to officer.
He is also a marginal child of a nobleman, and he joined the army because of his enthusiasm, and he is more afraid of this kind of scene than ordinary soldiers.
But fortunately, he was able to control his emotions, and even if he was already nervous to death, he still did not forget his responsibility.
This time, even Antoine didn't speak, quietly waiting for the magicians to deal with these flying monsters.
After about twenty minutes or so, the sound of "bang bang" gradually stopped, and a piercing bell rang, and the young officer was frightened and hurriedly picked up the phone.
"Yes! Yes! After the young man said a few words, he carefully put down the phone and said loudly to these subordinates in the bunker: "The flying demonic beast has been almost cleared, everyone go back to the gun position and continue to fight!"
"Haha, I knew that the magicians were very powerful!"
Antoine jumped up directly from where he was sitting, and with a "bang", pushed the iron door of the bunker open.
"Oh, I said why it's so cold, so many ice picks!" He had just opened the iron door when he was startled by the scene outside.
The so-called ice picks are actually jackdaws' innate magic "ice arrows" or "multiple ice arrows", but they were hiding in the bunker just now, and they didn't see the scene of countless jackdaws spraying "ice arrows".
It was made of magic, countless times harder than the ice picks under the eaves of ordinary winters, and although the walls had been reinforced by the magic of the earth magicians, they were still shot by ice arrows and had become cratered.
If it weren't for the existence of cover, any ice arrow could directly penetrate them.
"Artillery, let's go see how the artillery is?" Antoine's first thought was artillery, if the artillery was also injured by these ice arrows, it would really make him feel distressed.
Three steps and two steps ran to the gun he belonged to, and carefully checked it up and down, and then he was relieved.
After all, the cannon is made of steel, which is much stronger than the city wall, and the ice arrow shooting at it is a white spot, even if it is a little more powerful, at most it shoots a small depression, which does not affect its use.
And the walls of heavy artillery are much thicker than those of ordinary artillery, and they are more unhindered.
But the shells of those shells are made of copper, which is much softer than steel, and the thickness is only a thin layer, and many of the shells that have been carried before have been pierced by "ice arrows", or left large holes.
"These shells are no longer usable, go and move them!" The young officer also noticed this, and hurriedly instructed the members of each team to go to the place where the shells were stored to carry the undamaged shells.
Because there was no firepower suppression just now, those dense low-level demonic beasts under the city wall had already attacked, and all kinds of magic hit the city wall, and the bottom wall had been damaged by more than a meter.
If left unattended, I'm afraid that these low-level demonic beasts will be able to tear down this fifty-meter-thick and sturdy city wall in less than a day or two.
"Hurry, hurry!" the young officer had already noticed that something was wrong with the situation in the city, and urged again and again.
Without the cannonballs, Antoine could only wait, at this time, the magic source cannon had already taken the lead in casting magic again, they were simple, the few cylinders of magic source essence prepared by two people carried it away, but it was much easier than the cannonballs of the artillery.
Of course, the price and cannonballs of the magic source are not of the same level, even if the magic source can be mass-produced now, it is not accessible to ordinary people, let alone use gold coins to estimate its value.
Just as Antoine was waiting for the team members below to bring back the new shells, he suddenly noticed a small black dot in the sky on the left that was swooping towards this side at a rapid speed.
"Warcraft, Warcraft!" Antoine immediately pointed to the small black dot and shouted to remind his teammates beside him.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The heavy artillery close to the shell storage point had opened fire again, and the loud sound of his fleshy voice was obscured by the shouts of those who were a little farther away, except for the nearest soldiers.
"Eyler! Be careful!" Antoine, who was jumping in a hurry, saw that the little black dot was getting bigger and bigger, and rushed straight towards the young officer in his squadron.
