Chapter 54: The Battle of Yoder Town (Part II)
This is the true power of gunpowder!
In the position of the Belu people, it is like a big whirlpool, all the Belu people within the range of this whirlpool, their lives are swallowed in an instant, their weapons and armor are all shattered in the explosion, and even the ladder used to attack the city was shattered by the energy of the explosion, and the broken sawdust is even more terrifying than the power of crossbow arrows at this time, and some soldiers who were not directly killed were killed by these scattered sawdust, as well as the parts of their companions.
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that this way of death is beyond the cognition of these Belu soldiers, and with the rise of mushroom clouds, the advance of the Belu people is as if they have been enchanted, and they stop in an instant.
"What's that?"
Williams' eyes widened, and his mouth could even fit into a fist, "Is it magic?"
"It's not magic, I can't see any color of magic energy on the castle tower, is it a magic scroll?" Lampard's face was full of shock, since he became a soldier of the Duchy of Beru, he had encountered such an attack for the first time, and every mushroom cloud, every piece of explosion, was no less powerful than the explosion of a magic scroll, but in Yod Town, there were so many magic scrolls?
"Shoot the arrows!"
Meria's voice was a little broken by the excessive force, but no one was going to laugh at him at this time, these Belu soldiers were all frightened by the explosion just now, and there was nothing more pleasant than shooting these standing and motionless targets.
Dense clusters of arrows whistling through the air, the excellence of crossbow arrows is that even if the accuracy is not enough, people who can't shoot bows and arrows can use crossbow machines skillfully, and under the city tower of Yode Town, a group of corpses of Belu people were suddenly piled up, these Belu people are indeed equipped with shield soldiers, but these shields are not raised, so what is the use?
"Shield! Shield!"
At this time, in the position of the Beru, the angry roar of the commander sounded, these were the junior officers who followed the troops to attack, and they were also the first to react.
These shouts also woke up the Belu soldiers who were in shock, and some of them were even deaf due to the explosion, but the Belu finally regrouped in formation, and behind them, a steady stream of troops rushed through the moat to fill the void caused by the attrition.
What's even worse is that on the other side of the moat, a group of Yode archers, under the cover of the shield soldiers, began to open their bows and arrows and shoot feather arrows at the battlements of Yode Town, such a range just exceeded the effective range of crossbow arrows, and the city defense army on the city tower could not make a counterattack at all.
"Throw Arm Launch!"
"Whoosh!"
Another batch of explosives was thrown down from the castle tower, and this time, some of the Belu soldiers had even reacted, realizing that the previous explosion had nothing to do with the strange items dropped by these Noahs, but in this kind of siege war, once you rush to the front, it is not so simple to retreat.
"Boom, boom!"
The deafening explosion sounded again on the Belu position below the city of Yod, like an eraser, and after two gentle strokes on the passerby's position, a large number of Belu soldiers completely left this world.
Nothing can boost the morale of the city defense army more than the explosion of the explosive pack, the explosion of gunpowder was originally a very scary thing, but in the eyes of the city defense army of Yode Town, it seems to be the most beautiful music in the world.
A soldier of the city defense army poked his head out from behind the battlements to see the Belu soldier who had been destroyed in the explosion, and suddenly a dark shadow suddenly expanded in front of him, filling his pupils in an instant. He had no time to dodge, so he had to subconsciously turn his head to the side, only to hear a snap, and the oncoming black shadow hit him firmly on the cheek.
"Shit!"
The soldiers of the city defense army couldn't help but curse, it turned out to be a broken palm, and there was still a broken hilt in the palm. Two fingers of the palm pierced deep into his cheek, and the left side of his face was bleeding profusely.
These are the most primitive bombs. Although the power cannot be compared with yellow explosives, it is also the most powerful weapon of this era against such a dense crowd. In the vicinity of the constantly exploding explosive packets, the casualties of the Belu army were visible at a glance. After each dynamite package explodes. The originally dense siege team had to become much thinner, and many people threw themselves on the ground like this, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
Lampard and Williams, who were on the lookout of the Great Plains, looked at the Shura Purgatory downstairs in Yod Town with gloomy faces, the death of some soldiers would not make Lampard feel distressed at all, at his level, he had long been accustomed to a scene of success, but until now, he had not figured out what these things were that could kill and injure Belu soldiers in a large area.
The soldiers on the front line, although they could throw themselves into battle at all costs, under the urging of military orders and officers, would definitely have suffered if the Noahs had many of these weapons that could produce explosions.
"My lord, shall I let the troops behind me keep up?" Williams asked tentatively.
"Let the Second Brigade make up for it, even if it is with a pile of corpses, I will take down this Yode Town. Lampard's voice was low.
"My lord, I think, are we a little presumptuous now?" Williams said in a low voice, "Is it worth it for us to spend so many troops just to take down the town of Yoder?"
"Do you think I'm trying to save face here?" Lampard sneered: "Williams, don't you think that Noah's weapon is terrible? every explosion is definitely not weaker than our magician's attack, and even surpasses it, if we can get this weapon, or know the secret of this weapon, I think it is worth the price." ”
"And do you think that with our superior forces, we can't take a small town of Yode?"
......
The battle of the city tower in Yode Town has been carried out to the white heat, under the fire of the bows and arrows of the Belu people in the distance, there are still casualties on the city tower, once someone falls, the soldiers of the city defense army behind will immediately come to fill the vacancy, these recruits who have not experienced any substantive battles, in this kind of battle of hatred related to racial dignity and survival, have forgotten the fear of going to the battlefield for the first time, every soldier's eyes are red, they just want to use the weapons in their hands, to tear the enemy in front of them apart.
Ron believes that as long as he can survive this battle, every soldier of the city defense army will become an elite force that is not afraid of life and death!
