Chapter 281: Siege
Christine also sighed when he saw this, he knew that now the Queen Catherine had decided to defend this fortress, and if she couldn't defend her, she would die here. www.biquge.info Although he didn't agree with the other party's idea in his heart, according to the current situation in the country, he really needed a victory to stabilize the situation, otherwise, they would face a joint invasion of the three countries, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Christine looked at the enemy forces that were gathering outside the city, and then instructed one of the heralds beside him, "Go and inform the catapult troops, prepare the ammunition, and when the enemy is in range, we will use the catapult to strike a round at maximum speed, and go and inform." ”
"It's my lord. The herald ran down the line.
At this point, the bipedal wyverns hovering above began to dive downwards one by one, but by this time their goal was no longer to try to rush into the mass of soldiers to grab a few soldiers for pastries, but to open their mouths and spit acid at the soldiers.
Dark green juice spurted out of the Wyvern's mouth, and then fell to the ground in pieces, landing on the bodies of the soldiers who had gathered in dense groups.
These acids are very corrosive, and after falling to the ground, the big bluestone city wall has corroded into a piece of potholes, and the acid that falls on the human body directly corrodes the leather armor on the soldiers' bodies, and then corrodes the skin and muscles on the body into pieces of missing, and those soldiers fall to the ground one by one wailing, looking painful.
Count Christine frowned when he saw the miserable condition of the soldiers, "Ballista troops, aim and release!"
Bang bang bang
The sound of a sharp arrow piercing flesh was heard, and then a bipedal wyvern that could not dodge was pierced through the head by a spear, and then nailed straight to the wall of an arrow tower. Its other head was still howling, trying to break free from its nailed body, when a swordsman with a giant sword directly provoked it, and directly cut off the head of the two-legged wyvern to end the other party's howl.
At the same time, there are also a few unlucky bipedal wyverns who were shot through their bodies or fell off their wings, and a few bipedal wyverns were directly shot into a hornet's nest by the ballista that was fired, and became a corpse before they fell, but the people of the province mended it again.
At this time, several bipedal wyverns who were flying relatively high and were not being taken care of by the ballista saw the tragic situation of their companions and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the distance.
"The Griffin Brigade listens to the order, the first brigade takes off, pursues the two-legged wyvern, and must ensure its own safety, and the remaining troops are on standby and ready to fight. ”
"Yes. The order was swiftly conveyed by the herald.
One by one, the griffons flew into the sky, and the riders on the griffons grabbed their bows and arrows, ready to give the bipedal wyverns a little color.
In this way, the two teams chased and fled, and soon reached the outskirts of the gathering place of the Tytarian army, and the leader of the griffin brigade saw the dragon eagles of the other side, and decisively gave the order to retreat. And immediately flew towards the city.
When the dragon eagle brigade of Tytaria saw the griffons fleeing in the desert, they rushed forward excitedly, trying to eat the griffon team in one go.
Unfortunately, the speed of the dragon eagle and the griffin was not much different, coupled with the interference of the riders' arrows, soon, the griffin brigade got rid of the dragon eagles who were following the outstretched hand, and returned to the base in the city safely.
Although this pursuit did not achieve any results, being able to retreat with all their bodies was already the biggest harvest for this team.
When the group of eagle knights saw the mountain-like queue of bows and arrows on the walls of Standwick, they decisively chose to retreat towards their own team area. They don't have the strong body and sturdy scales of the bipedal wyvern, even in the face of ordinary bows and arrows, it can cause them a lot of damage, even the bipedal wyvern has suffered a big loss, the dragon eagle naturally will not try to make itself stupid again, so he retreated decisively.
After seeing the dragon eagles retreating, Count Christine breathed a sigh of relief, originally what he was most worried about was the threat from the air, after all, their air power was too weak, only two squadrons of griffins, if it really fought a hollow encounter, I am afraid that it would not be long before all his air power would be killed. Since the opposing air force was afraid of him, it was great, he hurriedly ordered the griffins to start resting, and the ballista on the castle tower began to reload the crossbow arrows, ready for the next attack.
By this time, the commander of the Titalia Midway, Talorhill, had arrived at the city of Standwick with his own troops. After ordering his troops to rest for a while, he waved his hand and directed his troops to begin the siege.
Talohill's attack was very characteristic of Tytaria, and thousands of brute bulls with various flashes of light came out of the center of the line, and then began to rush towards the gates of Standwick.
"It's a steel bull!" ordered the trebuchets to start striking and all of them to shoot freely. ”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of boulders crossing the sky sounded, and round stones fell from the sky into the ranks of the charging bulls, and in an instant, the bodies of many charging bulls flashed with colorful colors.
A boulder smashed into the body of the bull, and the bull was smashed into a puddle of beef sauce on the spot, some were hit by the boulder and broke their legs and feet, lying on the ground wailing, while the remaining bull resisted the impact of the boulder under the protection of the light on the body, rushed through the blockade of the trebuchet, and rushed to the city gate.
"It's actually a bronze-level steel bull, no wonder it can not be afraid of the threat of trebuchets. Count Christine said with a gloomy face as he looked at the brutes with bronze light on their bodies.
Soon, the bulls had rushed through the trebuchet's blockade, and the rain of arrows from the walls was like tickling for them.
After rushing to the ditch in front of the city, more than a dozen bulls immediately jumped off the trench and acted as sandbags, filling in a passage through the trench, and then the bulls behind rushed to the city gate along the road paved by the bulls in front.
With a loud bang, the huge bull mounted the bronze gate, and the huge gate trembled and let out a wail.
"With Greek fire. Christine continued to command calmly.
At this time, the green bottles were removed by the soldiers, and then the bottles were thrown down.
Bang, bang, the sound of bottles breaking sounded from the city gate, and a pool of thick green liquid flowed out of the bottle, and then pieces of thick green liquid automatically burned, and the pale flames were more than three feet high, instantly covering the entire city gate area, and the bodies of those wild bulls were inevitably contaminated with those thick green liquids, and the pale flames were attached to the bodies of those wild bulls and burned.
As if the light on the bulls had no effect on the pale flames, they fell to the ground with a wail and were burned into a pile of ashes by the pale flames.
