Chapter 460: Counterattack from all sides
The bows and arms that appeared in the windows of the main hall were so powerful that the arrows that could not penetrate the hand of death stopped their momentum, and before they could get close to the window, they fell to the ground like hailstones.
The crossbowmen in the east suddenly changed their faces, looking at the fallen hands of death, they were all frightened, and instinctively raised their crossbows and shot towards these deadly black balls.
The sparks splashed everywhere, the gold and stone were sonorous, and the hand of death weighed forty-five pounds, not to mention the haste, the crossbowmen were all lost, and most of the arrows fell into the air, even if they were all shot, it was only a temporary delay in the speed of falling, for a while, the screams were repeated, and the cries shook the sky, who would have thought that the damn Flame Legion would shoot at this time?
The crossbowmen on the east side were still lucky, after the hand of death was stopped by the rain of arrows, it was only thirty-four meters away from the main hall, although it could not prevent its explosion, but if it escaped with all its might, it was not without chance.
The royal crossbowmen to the west were not so lucky.
Tasked with holding back the Hand of Death to the west is Merlin's Sword God Legion.
These barbarian warriors with heavy armor and giant swords played their usual thunderous and furious fighting style, and the giant sword was a sword light in one move, and the hand of death weighing more than forty pounds met the sword qi emitted by the combined sword, like a leather ball hitting the iron plate, and was instantly shocked and flew out, as close as seventy or eighty meters away, and even more than one hundred and fifty meters away, and fell directly into the camp behind the crossbowman.
The scene of the Sword God Legion cracking the hand of death, in Merlin's previous life, was like playing baseball, but this 'baseball game' was not about winning or losing, but about life and death.
If the Barbarian's style of play is too simple and crude, with no aesthetic at all, and is just an aimless blind fight, the blocking method on the south side is a thrilling technical work.
Eight black spirit demons, in teams of two, each guarding a window, when hundreds of death hands flew in, their arms were linked, leaving behind the remnants of the Dao, and most of the iron balls were accurately caught in the bad, as for the occasional few fish that slipped through the net, they were also blocked by the treasure hunters behind them.
As soon as the ball of death was in his hand, the black elf's arm moved.
Their exquisite technique of throwing short spear javelins was not at all difficult to throw the 'lead ball', and compared with the martial soul short spear weighing eighty catties, the weight of the hand of death was obviously too light, so with a casual wave of the hand, they flew out three or four hundred meters......
If the defense of the southeast, east and west is described as watertight, the defense of the north is called impregnable.
The true masters of the treasure hunt team are all gathered in the north window.
Ouyang Xueqing, Lei Huo, the three deans of the Wind God Academy, the Supreme Elder of the Miao Family, and the powerhouses of the major families each guarded a window, looking at the flying hand of death, all of them had an almost demonic sneer on their faces.
I didn't see any movement from them, and hundreds of death hands suddenly changed direction in mid-air, and were wrapped in a stream of soul vitality visible to the naked eye and thrown out in the opposite direction.
The power of the hand of death when it exploded was amazing, but before it exploded, it was no different from an iron ball weighing more than forty catties, and with the cultivation strength of Lei Huo and others, it was easy to control them.
Merlin stood at the window, squinting his eyes, staring at the eldest prince on the god not far away, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, evoking a happy sneer.
Merlin couldn't be unfazed.
Since the first time he saw the eldest prince, he had been figuring out the other party's thoughts, and he had also intermittently learned more about the past of this first-day pride of Yunlan, who was famous for his murderous and brutal nature, from Huang Tiejia and others.
The guy who can survive and stand out in the open and secret struggle for the succession to the throne certainly has his advantages, not to mention force, the city strategy is the most important thing.
Merlin thought more than once, assuming that if he was the great prince, with an army of 200,000 and countless masters listening to orders, how would he fight this battle.
The result of thinking and the way the eldest prince responded did not deviate too much.
10,000 crossbowmen surrounded the main hall to suppress the treasure hunters who might appear at the window, and then sent a melee death squad to break through the siege, kill into the main hall, and then open the temple door, as soon as the army swarmed in, the victory or defeat of the battle could not be reversed.
There is nothing new in this strategy, and it is also the most commonly used siege tactic, and even the most dull generals can think of it, but the difficulty lies in the scheduling and control of details.
The fact that the eldest prince was able to shoot the alliance masters of the two major sects without blinking an eye shows that he is ruthless.
Merlin was also expecting the other party to rush in.
In a small space, the advantage of numbers simply cannot be exerted.
Don't look at the fact that the eldest prince has an army of 200,000, and if he really enters the palace, there are only thousands of people who can play a role.
But the mind of the eldest prince was not something that Merlin could guess, he did not use the tactics of the sea of people, but used the hand of death to open the way.
What is the Hand of Death? In a previous life, it was a grenade that doubled its power.
Merlin was originally a special soldier, and he was too familiar with this style of play, so he quickly dispatched his troops and arranged men and horses by the windows around him, preparing to throw the 'grenades' thrown by the other party again.
You know, it takes time for these guys to explode, and it's not difficult to block the window with the strength of the treasure hunting team.
However, the opponent's grenadiers were obviously extremely cautious, first using ten 'grenades' to explore the way, at this time, if Merlin counterattacked, it would inevitably cause the other party's alarm, he let everyone lie in the corner, protect the body with the soul yuan shield and the martial soul magic weapon, and plug the ears.
Although the Hand of Death is powerful, the method of dodging grenade bombs that Merlin trained in his previous life is the nemesis of the Hand of Death, and although it cannot avoid all damage, it minimizes casualties.
You must know that the hand of death thrown in from the window is rolling towards the middle of the main hall, and the treasure hunters don't need to do anything at all when they lie in the corner of the wall, and they automatically stay away from danger.
The first wave of explosions was dodged, and the treasure hunters were intact.
Except for the buzzing of the eardrums, no one was injured.
The person was fine, but Merlin found that the walls of the main hall had been shaken and a large piece of it had fallen off, revealing the criss-crossing runes inside.
Merlin didn't understand the formation, but Huang Tiejia did, and he could see at a glance that these runes were related to the magic circle on the wall outside the hall.
A second round of bombardment followed.
This time it's a hundred hands of death.
The terrifying explosion cracked and detached nearly thirty percent of the walls in the main hall, and several treasure hunters were unlucky and were seriously injured by the hand of death that rolled over from the opposite side.
