Chapter 314: Uncle Mage

Not all of them are like Mo Duo, who have seen the three major races in the underground world and several large group charges, so when they faced the overwhelming rush of more than 100,000 people, they couldn't help but turn blue, and the hand that grabbed the weapon was too hard, which made the green tendons rise up, and it looked extremely hideous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Trebuchet prepare, release~" Dozens of trebuchets adjusted the range to the farthest, and then projected dozens of large stones heavily, smashing dozens of open spaces in the crowd of mercenary troops.

Then, the group of mercenaries, who were still slowly advancing and preserving their physical strength, suddenly increased their speed and rushed towards the defense line like a frightened hornet's nest.

Since the Iron Collar relied on the city wall to build a defensive line, there were too many gaps that had not been built, so the mercenary troops did not even need to carry siege ladders, which were bulky and obstructive equipment, so the process of making them charge was undoubtedly much easier and faster.

Among the 50,000-strong militia brigade today, the fire support unit, which is now commonly known as the First Artillery Division, has 10,000 men and horses, and has a total of 260 heavy trebuchets and ballistae on hand.

The overconfident Wizards' Guild army only left a cavalry force of more than 1,000 people on each side of the remaining three sides of the Steel City for surveillance, and the rest of the troops were placed on the side facing Blackstone City, intending to concentrate their forces and fight them down in one go.

In this way, the 1st Militia Artillery Division also lined up all the heavy equipment on this side, and put it in a long row, with almost no dead ends.

The heavy equipment that fired in turns, and the huge losses caused by the dense crowd of mercenary troops, made the leaders of the mercenary forces tremble in distress, but remembering the generous promise of the Wizards' Guild, they finally gritted their teeth and persevered.

At a distance of 100 paces below the city, they withstood three rounds of artillery blows and nearly 9,000 losses.

An unlucky small and medium-sized mercenary group, with a total size of only more than 2,100 people, was unlucky to put out a small battle formation, and nearly 100 ballistas and stones were hit in a row, and even their regiment leader was smashed into a meatloaf by a large stone falling from the sky.

No one had the leisure to sympathize with this small mercenary group, which would definitely be swallowed up by the big mercenary group after the war, although after some persistence, they rushed to a distance of a hundred paces below the city, but no one dared to breathe a sigh of relief, they knew that this was the most dangerous area, and they had already entered the range of those powerful new muskets.

"Raise your shield, if you don't want to die, raise your shield to cover your head and chest, and the archers are ready to shoot their musketeers and grenadiers with all their might. Such an order invariably roared out of the mouths of the leaders of the various mercenary groups.

can become the leader of a mercenary group with a good reputation, they are all struggling from countless swords and fires, maybe in large-scale regular battles, the ability is not as good as those veterans who have accumulated years, but the beast-like sense of smell on the battlefield is definitely only strong and not weak.

As they expected, the mercenaries in the first few rows will raise their shields, and the thunderous muskets will sound neatly, and then within this distance, the lead bullets that have weakened a lot, even if they penetrate the shield, will not have the strength to break through their armor.

As for the unfortunate ones who were not covered by their armor, they had to blame themselves for their bad luck, and suddenly they were in high spirits, and with all sorts of rude shouts and curses from their mouths, they rushed towards the city.

However, such a short period of rapid progress also stopped at a distance of fifty paces below the city, in fact, when they entered a distance of seventy paces, the damage they showed began to increase, and by fifty paces, the casualties were completely terrifying.

Every time a neat musket sounded, a piece of mercenaries would fall, and within this distance, the lead bullets fired from behind the defense line could already break through the steel armor of the mercenaries again without breaking through the shields in their hands, and then the lead bullets shot into their bodies rolled powerfully, stirring their bodies to pieces.

"Whoosh!" The archers of the mercenary group made a move, they did not shoot a beautiful salvo like the regular army, but they fought freely, and the archers who could fight in the mercenary group all had a good hand of accurate archery.

After they struck, there were many casualties among the musketeers behind the defensive line, mainly because these archers shot too accurately, and all of them shot at the throats of the musketeers, and the musketeers behind the defensive line suddenly became thinner after they fired several times in succession.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the mercenaries quickened their pace and once again advanced the battle line to a position thirty steps below the city, but they had not yet stood firm, and the iron ball bomb with sparks flashing in the sky smashed down their heads and faces.

"Get out of the way, you have to block Lao Tzu's way again, I'll kill you. Several bloodied men pushed the soldiers in front of them to the side, waving the weapons in their hands with one hand, and they had a posture of going straight to work if they didn't agree with each other.

They are the leaders of the largest mercenary groups among the mercenaries hired by the Wizards Guild this time, and they are also the temporary commanders elected by more than a dozen mercenary groups of all sizes.

The battle was too brutal, and the losses were huge beyond their imagination, from the beginning of the charge to now in less than half an hour, their losses have exceeded 30,000, and they are still rapidly approaching the threshold of 40,000.

This time it's really a big loss, I thought it was a hemorrhage from the Magicians Guild, which has always been stingy, but I didn't expect it to be an unlucky task that I was about to get into with my family;

Thinking of this, a short-tempered Jungger man could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and the slender scimitar in his hand slashed out several times in a row, directly cutting a small officer who was blocking in front of him without knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Masters of the Wizards' Guild, we cheap war dogs are indeed worthless, but it's not like this for you to consume meaninglessly, either we will break up in two, or ask you mage masters to do it together. The leader of the Jungar mercenary group yelled at the legends.

Perrian, the wind-based mage with a blue face, didn't speak, but moved his hands, and an instantaneous super wind blade directly cut the unprepared Jungger man in two.

The remaining mercenary captains suddenly felt a lot of hatred in their hearts, and they were about to issue an order to turn their faces, but then they heard the long-awaited order: "The cavalry troops are on alert, and all the rest of the troops are ...... forward."
