"Crystal cannon preparation, trebuchet loading stone" A famous general commanded the magic crystal cannon and trebuchet under his management, preparing to give the enemy the biggest attack, in order to prepare for this siege, the army defending the city hurriedly made a large number of trebuchets and crossbows, and the remains of many buildings inside the fortress that were destroyed before were used as projectiles.

Looking at the slowly advancing enemy troops in one square array after another, everyone patiently waited for the moment when the enemy entered the shooting range, and Xingchenmeng's palms couldn't help but sweat, very nervous.
"Put, put, put" With a sound of orders, a piece of boulder was thrown out, and at the same time, the magic crystal cannon also roared, tilting the magic crystal bullet that had been prepared for a long time, and the sky was suddenly covered by countless stones and magic crystal bullets, hitting one after another The phalanx that was progressing step by step, many phalanxes were smashed by trebuchets to a corner, and the unlucky phalanx was even more bloomed by the magic crystal cannonballs in the center, and soon many of the soldiers in the square array who were smashed in the front began to collapse and disperse, and then the crossbow that had been waiting for a long time also began to exert its might, and the sky was full of arrow rain and fell obliquely, and the soldiers who had not had time to reorganize the phalanx died under the dense rain of arrows, and there was no possibility of escaping at allγ
As the enemy approached step by step, Xingchenmeng also frowned deeply, although it seems that the enemy's vanguard troops have suffered heavy losses, but it can be seen that the opponent's vanguard troops are not strong, but they are equipped with a large number of shields and short knives, not to mention not many siege weapons, it is completely a consumption of their own arrows, if the arrows are all shot out, then they will usher in a tragic siege battle, magic crystal cannons and trebuchets can not shoot a large number of enemies, can only rely on people to fill.
"Huangquan, record our fighting soldiers as a combat unit according to 10,000 people, responsible for defending the city for an hour, there are not so many people standing on the city wall, each combat unit is divided into three waves, hold on for twenty minutes, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, now we just have to delay time. Xingchen Meng gave battle instructions without thinking.
Soon there were scattered enemy troops who rushed through the blockade of arrows and artillery fire and came to the city wall, but because there were no ladders, they could only wait under the city to transport a few ladders to the rear, but the mage troops had been waiting for a long time, and the oblique range magic hit the enemy troops under the city.
The enemy soldiers under the city wall died and rushed up one by one, looking at the black pressure of a piece, one after another cloud ladders passed up from the rear and began to erect, but just stood up by the defenders on the city wall to chop or push, although after many bloody battles, but seeing so many dense enemies desperately pressed up, Xingchenmeng also felt his scalp tingle, but he also quickly calmed down, concentrated on commanding the battle, and resisted the enemy's crazy attack.
"Pour the fire oil, quickly pour the fire oil, light the fire" A general watched the enemy troops under the city grow more and more to the point of panic, and ordered the fire oil that had been prepared to be poured down, and the hot fire oil was poured on the soldiers below, screaming again and again.
Seeing that dozens of pots of boiling oil inflicted heavy wounds on the enemy and caused chaos below, the commanding general directly ordered "set fire".
Bursts of fire rain flew down, drawing the oil below, and immediately caused a sea of fire to flow downstream.
At this time, the enemy's mage troops arrived in front of the city wall under the cover of many giant shields, and looking at the sea of fire in front of them, the commander of the magic force immediately shouted, "The mages of the ice and water systems stepped forward and sealed the sea of fire and ice." β
At this time, the two rows of mages began to chant incantations, and the heavy rain fell from the sky, but it only weakened the intensity of the fire but accelerated the speed of the spread of the fire, and the fire oil accelerated the speed of discharge accompanied by a large amount of rain, at this time, many ice mages emitted a large amount of rich cold air, and the water or oil they encountered were instantly frozen, and the fire disappeared immediately, and even the city wall was frozen a few meters high.
The besieging commander saw that the fire was extinguished, and immediately organized a dense attack, and a group of sergeants carrying rudimentary ladders rushed forward, charging under the fierce strafing fire of crossbows, and a large number of archers in the rear and thirty or forty ladder carts and catapults were also pushed up, at this time the mage troops and magic crystal cannons defending the city had to divide part of their firepower to deal with them.
One by one, the magic crystal bullets and the rain of fire fell to smash the catapults and ladder carts that were slowly advancing, but they were stopped by the magic shields released by the rows of mage troops, and the siege catapults also reached the throwing distance and began to throw boulders to fight back.
The Moad Warrior Guards countercharged and destroyed the enemy's siege equipment, and the members of the Moad Warrior Guards, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped off the wall one by one and killed the catapults to relieve the pressure on the defenders of the wall.
In the face of the charge of the Moad Brave Guards, the dense soldiers were not a single enemy at all, and soon rushed to the catapult only 800 meters away from the city wall and began to sabotage and fight with the enemy strong men who had been prepared for a long time.
For the collision car, hit the city gate for a long time, the city wall that was erected ladder and ladder car is the focus of contention, dozens of enemy soldiers climb the city wall and fight with the defenders every moment, and the defenders fight for the enemy soldiers to climb the city wall when the foothold is not stable, they all down, push down the city wall and smash the companions behind them, there is no doubt that the casualties of the siege army are very huge, but for the back and dense human heads, this is nothing, even if the soldiers fall in pieces, the eyes of the siege officers will not blink, these soldiers are mainly used to consume the arrows and physical strength of the defending troops cannon fodder, can capture better, it doesn't matter if you can't take it, make a final tentative attack for the elite main forces in the rear.
Xingchen personally supervised the battle on the city wall, and from time to time he also used the emperor's ice to kill a few enemy soldiers who rushed in front of him, and Huangquan and others followed closely around him, patrolling the battle situation back and forth on the city wall, and there were not too many casualties for the time being.
In just two hours, the army of the Eight Hundred Nations Alliance lost nearly 100,000 people, but it also greatly consumed the bow and arrow rain of the defenders of the Star Empire fortress.
Seeing that the city was like a meat grinder, overcrowded, the archers and mages could easily kill the enemy without aiming and shooting, and the crossbow was smashed by the opponent's trebuchet, but more enemy troops raised their shields to greatly reduce the lethality of the crossbow, and the stars were on the city wall while killing the enemy, while using morale-boosting words to inspire the soldiers in battle.
