Chapter 117: The Well Stop

Of course, at this time, the steel collar militia brigade of more than 10,000 people could not still rush up to fight like a swarm of gangsters, involving the coordination and cooperation of seven or eight arms. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Vast expanses of magical light lit up, and it was the Temple of War that temporarily supported the Priesthood of the Iron Lords to cast various blessing war songs, from the War Priest's Song of Courage and the Song of the Wind, to the Totem Priest casting the Stone Skin Totem, the Totem Totem, and finally the Wrath of the Mighty Orc of the Scepter Priest.

Each militia was blessed with at least one or two war songs, and the infantry and musketeers, who were the main forces of the siege, carried five blessings, and in half an hour, their strength was nearly doubled.

Ten shirtless hippopotamus men beat huge war drums, and with the thrilling sound of drums, the militia brigade began to move slowly throughout the army.

Among the formations of the militia brigade, the most conspicuous were the hundreds of heavy catapults and ballistas, these heavy equipment were much larger than those on the fortress of Blackstone Fort, and the key positions were all made of fine stainless steel, after replacing so many steel components, not only the range was longer, but also more durable.

However, this also added a lot of weight to them, but after loading four teams of wheels, they were still not moving as fast as they could have been, pulled by two strong yaks and propelled by twenty operating militiamen.

In addition, there are ten wells that neither orcs nor humans have ever seen, this kind of siege weapon that the ox has vigorously turned out from the memories of previous lives, with a wide base of four wheels, and eight long logs on the movable base to support a small house inlaid with steel plates.

This small house actually has three floors, and through the countless small windows open in the small house, I can faintly see the existence of a large number of archers and musketeers, and even one or two elven mages.

Although it was the first time to see this strange siege machine, the officers on the battlefield also discovered the advantage of this thing for the first time, the well that was supported high was even a line higher than the twenty-meter city wall, and the orc militia not only had good protection after hiding inside, but also completely lost the height advantage of the archers on the city wall.

"Quick, hurry up and reload the trebuchet and ballista. The officers of the defenders on the walls kicked and beat their soldiers and reloaded the empty city defenses, and their hearts were in doubt.

In the past, didn't the orcs just climb the wall with rudimentary ladders, when did they have better equipment than the mighty Roland Empire.

After entering the distance of a mile and a half below the city, the heavy catapults and ballistas stopped moving, and after the operators fixed their wheels, carefully adjusted their equipment, and waited for the order to fire, the lightly armored centaurs and the heavily armored guards laid a slender line of defense in front of them.

A rapid tin whistle sounded, and the three thousand infantry, who had been marching slowly at a neat pace, followed the little dwarf at the front, roared and launched a charge.

"Trebuchets and ballistas are fired, giving priority to the enemy's heavy equipment. "Orders from both sides sounded almost simultaneously, and then poured fire on each other.

The sound of dozens of magic explosions sounded, which was successfully intercepted by the mages on both sides, and the explosions of stone bullets and ballistas fired at important targets in this formation, as for the attack on ordinary soldiers, they could only express that they were powerless.

A large boulder falling from the sky knocked several militiamen carrying ladders to the ground, and then the big boulder did not consume its kinetic energy, and after flicking it on the ground, it continued to roll and hit several people before stopping.

The high-quality armor of the steel collar was so weak under such a force, and the militia who was hit was lucky enough to cut off his hands and feet, and even more unlucky to be stoned to death on the spot.

"Hurry up, if you don't want to be stoned to death, hurry up. An officer next to him shouted, and several of his men carried the ladder on their shoulders as it was about to fall to the ground.

After entering the city a hundred paces, the sound of a bowstring being loosened sounded, and more than four thousand sharp arrows were shot down from the city wall, and with the order of "raise the shield", hundreds of large shields were raised above their heads, and each large shield protected three or two militiamen.

But most of the militia had no shields to cover, so they could only bow their heads, hoping that the armor on their bodies could resist the dense accumulation of bows and arrows on the city walls.

The rest of the infantry did not stop the charge, for the thin figure had been leading the charge at the front, as he had said.

The arrogant little dwarf at least attracted the firepower of more than half of the archers and magicians on the city wall, Niu Dali held a tower shield in each hand that was much higher than his height, and kept moving rapidly, the route of the charge would be S-shaped, and the other would be Z-shaped, in short, he didn't dare to stay for a second.

Because the rain of arrows and magic that covered him was always extremely thrilling, and he was in a wreckless mess.

After consuming nearly 300 men on the way to the charge, forty ladders finally reached the head of the city, and the big iron hooks on the ladders hooked the wall battlements......

"Prepare ~~ to fire. Mo Ge half-knelt on the wooden plank on the top floor of the well, pulled his throat and gave the order to fire, plus ten people were crowded side by side in his small house, almost shoulder to shoulder, when ten people fired at the same time, he could clearly feel the trembling of the shoulders of his comrades beside him.

A choking white smoke rose, and the people in the whole small house coughed violently, this thing called the well designed by the lord is good, and the condescending attack on the human soldiers on the city wall is as simple as beating rabbits, but this small space is too choking after the shot.

Fortunately, the lord gave each musketeer a mask sewn from multiple layers of linen in advance, and the musketeers were able to barely support them by wearing the mask wet with water on their mouth and nose.

Mogo handed the empty musket behind him, and at the same time took a reloaded musket on his shoulder, this small place could not be used for three shots, but after the two teams behind changed to special loading, the shooting speed was not much slower.

"Ready~" Mo Ge shouted again, and before he could shout to fire, he saw an armor-piercing arrow shoot in from the shooting window out of the corner of his eye, hitting the front door of the musketeer next to Mo Ge, and the musketeer next to him fell on his back.

This is the strong crossbowman in the Northern Army, and the musketeer who was shot in the face of the arrow was quickly dragged to the back row, in front of the only hygienist in the room, to see if there was any possibility of rescue.

The vacant spot was quickly filled by the musketeers in the back row, and Mego resisted the urge to concentrate the crossbowmen, still shouting at the intended target, the operators of the heavy ballistas and stone-throwers, "Fire." ”
