"Roar-" Smelling the scent of humans, in the wilderness, the giant let out a roar at the same time, and the sound was so loud that it directly formed a sound wave, surging in the direction of Roland Giant City!

Many human soldiers, who were already ready for battle, involuntarily raised their hands to cover their ears, and their faces turned pale.

Although they had fought giants before, it was the first time they had seen them appear in a neat formation like a well-trained human army!

"Don't panic!" Li Yunfei shouted loudly, although his voice could not be transmitted throughout the entire western city wall defense area, as long as these people in the wall section he was in did not panic, it would naturally bring out a calm atmosphere.

"It's just the roar of a beast, kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!" Thousands of soldiers roared at the same time, causing all the soldiers in the entire city wall defense area to roar angrily, instantly dissipating the pressure caused by the giant's roar just now.

After the giant roared, it had come to a place less than two thousand meters in front of the walls of Roland's giant city, and was still rapidly approaching.

Among these giants, even the shortest clay giants are more than five meters tall, so they have a huge stride and a speed that can be compared to that of a human cavalry!

1,800 meters, 1,600 meters, 1,500 meters!

In the blink of an eye, the giant's vanguard was within range of the bed crossbow.

Li Yunfei roared and said, "All crossbowmen are not allowed to fire, listen to my orders!" The defense area where he is located has become the Luo Lin defense area at this time, and the soldiers of the Luo Lin family have already been trained accordingly, so when they heard Li Yunfei's words, although they were nervous in their hearts, they still did not move and did not launch.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" A muffled sound came from a distance, and the officers of the other defense areas had already given the order to launch at this time. As the banner waved, arm-thick crossbow spears shot towards the giant.

It's just that although these crossbow guns can reach a range of 1,500 meters, their accuracy is pitiful, and they can only rely on dense numbers to suppress the range.

"Roar!" the human ballista attacked, and the rock giant at the front let out a roar at the same time, spreading its arms and using its body as a shield to block the attack of the ballista.

I only heard a chaotic sound of "Woo Woo Woo", although thousands of crossbow guns were fired at the same time, but at this time, it had reached the limit of the range of the bed crossbow, and the power of the crossbow was weakened a lot, and it could not penetrate the body of the rock giant at all.

A single shot could only scrape a groove out of these rock giants' bodies, and some even fell directly to the ground, without the slightest effect.

In total, hundreds of ballista spears broke through the rock giant's defenses and shot at the mud giant behind them. However, the number of these crossbow guns was too small, and they only pierced the bodies of some of the clay giants. There are only a dozen mud giants that have actually died after being pierced through the head or the heart of a giant!

"Wind, wind! Hurry up!" the officers of the various defense districts anxiously urged.

Next to them, the soldier operating the bed crossbow began to get busy quickly, and after wiping the crossbow machine clean, he began to wind it with great force.

Because of the amount of force required to open the bed crossbow and stabilize the string, it was extremely troublesome to open the bed crossbow, and for a short time, the bed crossbow could not do any damage to the giant.

And the Legion of Giants, as if they had not been attacked in the slightest, were still advancing step by step!

1,200 meters, 1,100 meters, 1,000 meters!

"Trebuchet ready to launch!

"Put!"

Another sound came from not far away, and in addition to the defense area where Li Yunfei was located, the trebuchets of the other defense areas also started at the same time, launching large wooden barrels filled with water one by one.

Hundreds of large barrels arced high in the air and slammed into the giants' ranks.

This time, it finally had a certain effect.

Although the rock giants were mostly unharmed, many of the mud giants and sand giants were smashed by the wooden barrels before they could dodge, and the water inside flowed out instantly, dozing them whole.

This flow of water was like sulfuric acid to the mud and sand giants, and instantly melted the whole body of those giants, and let out a terrible howl.

But that's all!

The Mud Giants and Sand Giants hit by the bucket did not take fatal damage, except that they became much weaker and moved slowly. After all, this current of water is terrifying, but it is only a one-time attack.

"Release!" another shout snapped, and the other half of the trebuchet began to fire.

This time, it was no longer buckets of water that were fired, but huge stone bullets with a diameter of about one meter!

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang......" The muffled sound of stone bullets falling to the ground came, smashing the ground into deep dents one after another, and raising puffs of smoke and dust, which looked like a huge momentum.

Although some of the stone bullets were blocked by the rock giants, or even smashed into pieces, there were still hundreds of mud giants and sand giants who fell to the ground, and the intensity of this attack was obviously much stronger than before.

Seeing this scene, many soldiers immediately cheered.

Only then, in the shocked eyes of everyone, nearly half of the knocked down giants actually wriggled on the ground for a moment and got up again.

Although the stone bullet attack left deep holes in their bodies, it was not fatal! Their combat effectiveness was barely weakened!

"My lord, give the order quickly! let's attack!" Mike looked at the team of giants who were almost in front of him, and said anxiously to Li Yunfei.

From beginning to end, Li Yunfei's defense area had not launched any attack! Not only had he not fired a catapult, but he had not even fired a single shot at his bed crossbow.

The giant team in front of this section of the city wall still hasn't been attacked in the slightest at this time, and compared with the giant team that has become a little scattered next to it, it can be said that it is safe and sound!

If it weren't for Li Yunfei's judgment of the giant's attack before, and he strengthened the strength of this defense area under huge pressure, Mike would have thought that he had been scared stupid.

Li Yunfei looked at the scene in front of him with a gloomy face, his face was like frost.

The attacks of the city defense army just now are still very reasonable. Use the bed crossbow to suppress the giant's advance, then use the bucket to severely damage the Silt Giant, followed by a stone bullet attack that deals heavy damage.

It's just that everything is built on one foundation, that is, the giant's attack is chaotic and blind, and it only knows how to rush forward. In this case, the attack on the lower giants will be effective.

And now, the Giant has discharged an effective defensive formation, and the Rock Giant in front of it alone is able to block most of the attacks against the Muddy Giant!

For an attack to work, you must find the right distance and opportunity to get the most out of your bed crossbow and trebuchet!

"My lord, when are we going to wait!?" Mike asked aloud from the side.

Li Yunfei glanced at him and shouted to Martin, "Martin, I just asked you to replace the water in the bucket with oil, how did you go!"

"My lord, there are still more than a dozen barrels left!" Although Martin was also hesitant in his heart, he did not ask, but chose to believe Li Yunfei unconditionally. After all, everything that happened during this time was enough for him to regard his Earl as a god.

"What!?" Mike said in amazement, "My lord, water can have an effect on the mud and sand giants, and fire oil can't damage the giants at all!

Li Yunfei frowned and said, "Shut up! If you have nothing to do, go and help Martin!"

Immediately after that, without waiting for Mike to answer, Li Yunfei raised his eyes and saw that the giant's team was about to reach a distance of five hundred meters, and the soldiers in the other defense areas on the city wall had all changed their bows and arrows.

Is 500 meters enough...... Looking at the rock giants walking in the front could no longer cover the mud giants behind, Li Yunfei said secretly in his heart.

"Pay attention, crossbowman, aim straight ahead, the heads of those mud giants behind the rock giants, prepare, release!" Li Yunfei gave an order, and the herald beside him quickly waved the command flag in his hand. The crossbowmen in the Luolin Defense Zone had been waiting for a long time, and immediately pulled the crossbow machine!

In the Luolin defense area, there were a total of 300 bed crossbows, and at this time, 300 bed crossbows shot out 300 sharp crossbow guns at the same time, and they all shot towards the giant team.

"Bang, bang, bang......" A series of muffled sounds came, and a stunned scene happened!

Originally, thousands of ballistas were fired at the same time, and after a rain of guns covered it, the consequence was nothing more than dozens of giants falling to the ground.

And the three hundred crossbow guns in the Luolin Defense Area were like eyes, and instantly crossed the stone wall composed of rock giants in the front row and stabbed into the heads of one mud giant!

Except for a few crossbow guns that missed and only hit the mud giant's chest, all the other ballistas hit the head, and the huge impact force even sent the mud giant, who was more than five meters tall, backwards.

Nearly 300 mud giants fell to the ground at the same time, and this time they fell, and they never got up again! Their heads had been completely destroyed!

Seeing this scene, Li Yunfei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, in addition to the weakness of the giant's heart, these giants also have the weakness of the head, otherwise, it would be much more difficult.

And Mike and the other city guards in the defense area were all stunned when they saw this scene.

Nearly 300 crossbow guns hit the head at the same time!? The only dozen or so that missed also hit the chest! Could it be that all these crossbowmen were marksmen? Even at a distance of 500 meters, this quasi-head is really too amazing!

In the entire city defense army, there are no more than fifty crossbowmen who can make a hundred shots and hits within 500 meters!

After seeing this scene, Li Yunfei only nodded, and ordered again: "The bed crossbow is wound, the stone thrower is launched, the target, the rock giant!"

Dozens of wooden barrels flew out of the city wall in an instant, smashed into the bodies of the rock giants in front of them, and shattered with a bang.

It's just that after the barrel shattered, it was not the water that appeared, but the reddish-brown oil!

Very good...... Li Yunfei's eyes narrowed: "Rocket!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of flaming arrows flew out and landed on the bodies of more than twenty rock giants in front of the Luolin Defense Area.

With a "boom", these rock giants instantly turned into burning fire men!

The oil is extremely flammable, and the temperature after burning is very high, and after a while, the body made of rocks has begun to turn slightly red.

However, although the flames were fierce, the rock giants only let out a roar and continued to move forward.

Soon, they had already entered a distance of a hundred meters in front of the city wall, and then suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the city wall!

"Water cannon ready! Extinguish the fire!" Hundreds of modified "water dragons", no, they should be called "water cannons" at this time, launched at the same time, and the thick water column instantly erupted from the pipe at the front end, shooting at the more than 20 rock giants, and the originally raging flames were instantly extinguished.

The red-hot rock made a "snort" sound, evaporating the water that had just been poured into a cloud of steam, obscuring the giants' view.

The rock giants only felt their whole bodies swell, but they didn't know what was going on.

It's just that in many imperceptible places on the surface of their bodies, tiny cracks began to appear, making a slight "crackling" sound!

The corners of Li Yunfei's mouth raised, and he said to himself: "Very good, hot expansion and cold contraction, you have to believe in science......"

"Stone Bullet Launch, Target, Rock Giant!"

The remaining half of the trebuchets adjust their angles at the same time to fire the long-charged stone projectiles.

"Bah!Boom!Boom......" A series of muffled sounds came, and this time, the twenty or so rock giants that were originally indestructible and could even shatter stone bullets seemed to have turned into glass.

The place where it was hit by the stone bullet shattered, leaving huge craters one after another!

After a round of attacks, more than a dozen of the twenty rock giants had fallen, and only five were left!
