Chapter 40: The Meat Grinder
The siege cloud tower, as if ten giant beasts cast of steel came slowly, and the demon couldn't shake the siege cloud tower at all.
"Once you let this siege cloud tower and the city wall come close to it, then ...... A large number of soldiers will attack the city wall through the siege cloud tower. Buck's face was blurred by the glow of the magic crystal cannon. Boone, Black Shark, Gates, Anko and others also looked solemn.
Lin Lei stood on the city wall, looking at the dense locust-like soldiers under the city, as well as the ten siege cloud towers, he also felt troubled.
"Now, it's time for the most tragic time. ”
Even a person like Lin Lei, who knows little about war, can foresee the coming stage of madness.
......
"Rush!" said some of the soldiers, grimacing in frenzy.
Thousands of ladders were erected on the city walls, and a large number of soldiers quickly climbed to the top of the ladders, in a vain attempt to rush to the city walls and fight the defenders. But...... The ladder can be pushed down by someone, or it can be burned with oil.
Each ladder could only rush one or two people at the same time, and in the face of a large number of swords stabbed by the defenders at the same time, they could only drink hatred.
A soldier standing on the ladder jumped out of the ladder and tried to storm the inside of the city walls.
"Poof!"
Immediately several swords stabbed at him, and the soldier who rushed in was stabbed into a honeycomb with only one slash.
"Boom!" A cloud ladder was directly knocked down, and a large number of soldiers fell from a height. If you fall from a height of twenty or thirty meters, the strong ones are better, and the poor ones fall to death or are disabled. The worst thing is ...... A large number of dead soldiers below had weapons on the ground.
Falling down, the body just fell on the weapon.
"Puff-" The body was directly pierced by the weapon.
There were also a large number of soldiers who rushed to the city and fired arrows at the city walls, and the dense arrows fell on the walls, and even fell into the underground city of Codshire. Many of the defenders of the city were also killed directly by the falling arrows.
......
Every moment, a large number of warriors died. Although many of the defenders died, many of the besieging soldiers died.
"Quick. Fast. In the distance, the black-robed Great Elder of the Dark Holy See, 'Westport', who was behind the army, roared in a low voice, "Hurry up, Siege Cloud Tower quickly push it under the city wall." "Westport, he really can't stand it.
He looked forward to an immediate turnaround.
The huge siege cloud tower is a powerful tool that can change the war.
That terrible height. A body cast of steel.
This makes the siege cloud tower like a movable city wall. There will be no disadvantage in fighting with the defenders on the opposite side of the siege tower. After all, there are enough hundreds of people standing at the top of the cloud tower at the same time.
"Shoot at the siege tower!"
The commander gave a loud order, and immediately several magic crystal cannons were fired at the siege cloud tower at the same time, but the steel of the protective plate on the surface of the siege cloud tower was several meters thick, such a thick steel. Even the power of the magic crystal cannon can't penetrate and destroy the siege cloud tower.
At most, it will make the siege tower shake a little, or it will hurt the soldiers on the siege tower.
But when the soldier dies, the soldiers below can continue to rush up, after all, the other side of the siege cloud tower is a slope step structure.
"Here, the first brigade is here. Come here, prepare to resist this siege cloud tower. One of the commanders immediately shouted loudly, dealing with the siege of the cloud tower, that must be the use of elite soldiers.
The town of Cod is trying to stop the siege tower.
But. This siege 'behemoth' is unstoppable-
I only heard the sound of "Peng!", and a siege cloud tower was finally connected to the city wall. But a moment after that, "Peng!", "Peng!", "Peng!", "Peng!", ...... The sound of continuous crashes sounded, and one after another siege cloud towers were connected to the city walls.
"Pull me away!"
On a cloud tower, an officer shouted loudly. There were many soldiers around who immediately pulled together the mechanism contained in the siege cloud tower, and only the sound of "click" and "click" mechanism operation could be heard. A thick steel cast plate of the siege cloud tower fell directly in the direction of the county town of Cod.
"Boom!" the steel slabs, which were 100 meters wide and several meters thick, slammed into the walls of the city of Codshire.
This immediately caused a passage 100 meters wide between the siege cloud tower and the city of Codshire, and the siege cloud tower was originally as high as the city wall of the city of Codshire. This allows the soldiers of the Light Sect and the Dark Church to pass through this passage. A condescending quick charge came up.
"Brothers, kill!"
"Avenge the squadron leader and kill !!"
......
Countless angry siege soldiers howled and stormed the walls of Codshire through the passage. They were beaten too aggrieved, and they were always under the city, and many warriors were killed by bows and arrows and magic crystal cannons. They don't even have a chance to fight their opponents fairly.
This kind of grievance has always existed in the bottom of my heart.
Now, these soldiers have finally broken out.
The ten siege cloud towers are the ten connecting passages. A large number of soldiers marched along the siege tower towards the city of Codshire. The soldiers of the county town of Cod did not flinch, either by throwing stones at them or by pouring fire oil on them...... Anyway, the place is so 100 meters wide, densely packed with people.
One soldier cut off someone's head, but another stabbed his spear into his chest.
......
The connection between the siege cloud tower and the city wall is simply a meat grinder!
The soldiers besieging and defending the city are here to fight!
A large number of corpses were piled up, even exceeding the height of the walls of the wall, and then fell directly from the wall. The blood gathered, making it seem as if the road of the city wall had become a blood-red river. And countless soldiers still raised their weapons to fight the enemy.
For their own lives.
Avenging his comrades.
......
Everybody's red-eyed.
"Boom!" "Boom!"......
The brilliant cannon fire of the magic crystal cannon specifically bombarded the 'Siege Cloud Tower', because the soldiers on the 'Siege Cloud Tower' were too dense, ten times denser than the soldiers under the city
The warriors tried in vain to rush from the siege cloud tower to the local city wall.
Very fast indeed.
From under the siege cloud tower, along the slope of the siege cloud tower, rush to the city wall. Less than 100 meters! With the strength of the soldiers, such a distance is usually less than 10 seconds. They all had a fluke mentality, thinking that in ten seconds, the magic crystal cannon would definitely not hit them!
But!
The magic crystal cannon is facing the siege cloud tower. A casual shot can kill hundreds of people at once. However, the killing speed of the magic crystal cannon was far less than the terrifying speed at which the soldiers of the two sides fought each other. The soldiers of the town of Codshire also began a rapid and widespread death.
"In close combat, then the death ratio is close to one to one. Buck looked at Lin Lei, "Lord Lin Lei, let's go on like this." But I can't afford to fight with each other. ”
Indeed, the enemy's strength is 1.6 million in total, and although there are some losses in the front, it is nothing for the huge base of 1.6 million. But there were only 500,000 men on the side of Codshire. If you consume one to one.
The enemy lost three or four hundred thousand dead, and the number of troops was still more than one million. But he died 340,000, but only 100,000 remained.
It can't go on like this!
Of course, this is only the proportion of those who died in the hand-to-hand fight. If you add the fact that you were bombarded to death by the magic crystal cannon, you were killed by countless arrows below. The town of Cod, on its part, still has a lot of advantages.
"Gates, you guys go and destroy that passage. Lin Lei pointed to the thick steel plate that connected the siege cloud tower to the city wall.
Once the thick iron plate, which is 100 meters wide and several meters thick, is destroyed......! There is a distance of nearly ten meters between the siege cloud tower and the city wall, and this distance requires a certain strength to jump over. And jumping from the siege cloud tower, the defender only needs to greet him with the tip of his spear -
"Yes. My lord. Gates replied loudly.
Boone, Anko, and Black Shark also went with them without hesitation, and Buck was not easy to make a move because of reaching the Sanctuary.
Gates was full of fighting spirit, holding the 5,300-pound giant axe. As soon as he kicked the ground, the whole person jumped directly towards the passage where the fighting was most fierce, and the enemy soldiers in the 100-meter passage were crowded, and a large number of soldiers wanted to rush to the enemy city wall.
"Poof-" A terrifying axe-shaped fighting qi blade flew over, directly slashing dozens of warriors, and the stumps flew wildly. Blood flowed everywhere, and suddenly an empty area appeared in the passage.
"Peng!"
Gates, who was like a demon god, landed directly in this area with the terrifying giant axe of 5,300 catties in his hand. However, a large number of enemy soldiers instantly filled the empty area. One by one, they attacked Gates wildly.
"Hmph!" Gates held the giant axe and slammed it straight down.
The giant axe landed like a fluttering leaf on the steel plate below. I only heard a very slight voice, and suddenly ...... A ravine immediately appeared in this steel-like form, and a large amount of steel powder fell directly with the wind.
Lift weights like light!
"Peng!" Gates's fighting spirit was like countless sharp arrows surging out in all directions, killing the besieging soldiers around him at once.
"It's really thick enough. Gates said to himself, the iron plate is a ninth-level peak immortal warrior, and it can't be broken. However, Gates had just chopped off most of it with an axe, leaving it less than a meter thick.
"No!" Many people in the Light Sect and the Dark Sect saw this scene, and they all widened their eyes and exclaimed.
"Break it open. "Gates is another fluffy axe.
"Peng!" The extra-thick steel plate was directly divided into two, and the steel plate fell down from the city wall and the siege cloud tower respectively. A large number of soldiers also fell. This caused the effectiveness of the siege cloud tower to drop by half immediately.
If you want to go further, you can only jump from the siege cloud tower towards the opposite city wall.
But the opposing city defenders are waiting for you with weapons, and those spears and sword tips are facing you, so jump...... The results of the jump can be imagined.
"Peng!" "Peng!"...... The sound of steel plates falling and crashing one after another, in front of the four terrifying ninth-level peak warriors Gates, Boone, Anke, and Black Shark, the passage steel plates of the ten siege cloud towers were split into two pieces one after another.
The Light and Dark Sects, who had just seen the dawn of victory, were in pain.
"Almost made it, bastard. Westport let out an angry roar.
If the situation just now continues, although the two sides are in close combat, their own side will still be bombarded by the magic crystal cannon. But Westport believed...... If you lose 780,000 troops, it is estimated that you can cripple the opponent.
"Westport, what now?" Gilmer looked at him.
Westport looked at him as well: "It's still early, wait until five in the morning." "Gilmer and Westport both understood what they meant.
"Although the steel plate of the passage has been destroyed, the siege cloud tower still has a role. "Westport looks into the distance...... Indeed, many soldiers rushed to the siege tower, and then relied on the height of the siege tower, using bows and arrows and stones to shoot inside the city walls.
In fact, a large number of soldiers jumped directly towards the city wall.
Maybe the soldiers died a lot at the beginning, but when there were more soldiers who jumped and occupied a small space, they were still qualified to hold on to each other.
"It's crazy. "Gates feels the pressure at the moment, even though he has been through war a lot.
There are too many people who have died.
Minutes and seconds passed.
3 a.m. ......
Four a.m. ......
In just a few hours of darkness, there were nearly 200,000 dead and wounded soldiers on the defending side. With such a terrible number, it is completely conceivable that the number of deaths on the side of the Holy See of Light and the Holy See of Darkness will be killed.
It was five o'clock in the morning, and both Westport and Gilmer were looking at each other.
"Westport, according to what you said, it's time to play your hole cards. Gilmer said. PS: The first chapter is here, sorry, this chapter is a little late.
