Chapter 324: Loosening of the Contract (II)

Diabinas fools Sarin. The murderous intent in Salin's heart was too strong to dissolve. Once this undead king gets out of control, he is completely in danger. It's just that the Holy See army is still there, and I have to rely on these three guys. Kill now, it's not good for the city's defense.

Salin led the people around the city, glad that his teacher had given him the drawings of the city design. Without this Dante sequence, in the absence of the magic tower, the thirty-meter-high city wall would not be able to withstand the attack of the Holy See army.

There are quite a few magicians outside the city, and a few of them have abilities that are stronger than the black deacon and black bishop they have ever seen. It may be worse than Genaris. However, Jenarius is a divine envoy, a ninth-level powerhouse, and the divine punishment technique can almost kill opponents of the same level. If it weren't for Rex's Ring of the HRE, Genenaris would have had the last laugh.

There are at least a dozen magicians outside the city, reaching the level of magicians. With so many magicians, it would be quite dangerous to fly above the city.

However, there is a Dante sequence, and all the buildings at the head of the city form an elemental control sequence that is not a magic array, but surpasses the magic array. If there is the support of the magic array, it is even difficult to fly for about ten miles near the city wall.

Near the city walls. Those magicians didn't dare to approach, Salin thought for a moment and said, "Send more barbarian archers, each with twelve throwing axes, and the enemy can climb up, maybe heavy armor or dead soldiers wearing several layers of armor." ”

The enemy in the distance had no intention of dividing his forces to attack the northern wall, and the western wall was eight miles wide, and it would be difficult to gather living forces if he divided his forces. The Holy See's estimation was somewhat wrong, and they thought they would be facing a front two miles wide. Saleen estimated that the enemy would attack two or three points instead of flanking on both sides of the northwest.

Salin was not so nervous when he saw the enemy under his nose, at least he was partially right, the enemy didn't have any large equipment. A number of trebuchets and carts were lost at Broken Blade Pass, and the expeditionary force cut down trees and created a batch of rough trebuchets, but in order to increase the attack distance and avoid being easily destroyed by the trebuchets in the city, this kind of trebuchet was very large and required a long time to prepare, so it could not form a suppression of the city.

The expeditionary force built about a hundred trebuchets, and the improvised creatures of such huge trees would have to use more than fifty soldiers and more than five horses.

With a simple calculation in his mind, Saleen knew. This kind of crude trebuchet can only be fired once in half an hour, and it cannot fire scattered bombs. Because it is impossible to control the landing point, it can only be regarded as a kind of containment of the soldiers in the city. This kind of trebuchet also has a slower stone projectile speed, and it can't hit the swordsman at all, at most it will hit some auxiliary soldiers or unlucky swordsmen.

When the soldiers of Broken Blade retreated, they did not have much equipment left, and Saleen saw hundreds of large crossbows, as well as some small alchemy crossbows. The big crossbow is the Qin Yin system, but the alchemy crossbow is imitated by the magician, and the range is definitely not as good as the regular alchemy crossbow in Salin's hand.

"Give each mage at the head of the city twelve three-pole fire cloud scrolls, twelve three-pole wind blade scrolls, two second-level acid rain spells, well, everyone will go to the temple to get a three-pole ice pick scroll. ”

The three-pole ice pick technique scroll that Salin said was actually a scroll made by himself, and its lethality was equivalent to three-pole magic, but it was still something that a first-level magician could unfold. He once used the compound icicle technique to kill and injure hundreds of people at once, which can be said to be the most powerful low-level magic.

The mages at the head of the city are not of high rank, if it weren't for the special walls of Metatrin City. Can protect these mages, Saleen didn't even dare to let them come up. However, the biggest problem of low-level mages is that they lack magic strings and have limited ability to release magic. So Saleen prepared a large number of scrolls, as well as diluted magic liquid, so that the spiritual power of low-level mages could persist in long-term battles.

The enemy's warriors were mixed with a large number of low-level magicians, and the city of Salin was also equipped with low-level mages from the mainland, and the two sides were evenly matched in this regard. Salin had the upper hand, he had the walls of Metatrin City, and the enemy had only a pitiful number of carts and a spliced ladder.

The battering ram is of little use against Metatrin City, as Saleen has enough magic trebuchets to destroy large pieces of equipment from the enemy.

The enemy assembled the trebuchet at a distance of three miles, and the trebuchet in the city began to strike before the enemy could assemble it. The huge boulder flew into the air towards the trebuchet skeleton in the distance, and Salen was well prepared, but he used a normal trebuchet instead of a magic trebuchet.

The number of these trebuchets was also huge, more than two hundred, and they were also improvised and were intended to be used against enemy infantry sieges. As a result, Salin found out that the enemy had built a hundred trebuchets and immediately used them on this.

The first time was more than thirty boulders, correcting the direction, and immediately, the magician provided a more precise point of attack, and thousands of barbarians manipulated trebuchets to drive the purchased monsters, pull the winch, and launch the huge stones.

Suddenly more than thirty trebuchets were hit, and more than two dozen of them were directly destroyed. Then the last fifty trebuchets attacked. More than a dozen trebuchets of the expeditionary force were knocked out.

With an all-round attack, knocking out half of the expeditionary force's trebuchets, Archbishop Nicholas knew that it would not work to suppress the enemy with trebuchets.

Originally, the Tangulas were not good at this, but the real siege equipment was sent to the Garolan front, and the Pope did not expect to face this kind of city, so Nicholas would face such a dilemma. As the besieging side, the ranged attack is completely suppressed by the enemy, and it depends on the soldier's climbing ability to attack the city!

Anyone to command such an attack would result in heavy casualties.

Salin simply returned to the main gate to the west and watched the first offensive and defensive battle live. He himself is a sixth-level magician, and he has a great effect on the defense of the city. The first wave of the enemy's attack, the soldiers on Salin's side also have to get used to it. Fortunately, the 2nd and 6th Battalions had fought with the expeditionary force, so there would be no panic.

Saleen himself was in charge, and the morale of the soldiers was raised to the extreme.

This is not only the role of Salin, but also the role of Holy Rock City. Qin Yin sent a million-strong army to counterattack the Holy See's main force in Garulan, this kind of information has long been disseminated by Salin, in the city of Metatrin in Sarin, almost most of the residents are pro-leads, as long as the Holy Rock City is not destroyed, they will not despair, let alone surrender.

Saleen's trebuchet was able to perform a second round of attacks in ten minutes, and the enemy's trebuchet was obviously much slower. In the end, only a dozen trebuchets survived, firing huge stones into the city. These stones are not even polished, they are difficult to roll after landing, and their lethality is limited. Even if you fall into the crowd, you can't kill a few people.

This is not like Saleen's well-prepared city, where each stone projectile fired is oval-shaped, and when it lands, even if it misses the target, it will roll in an arc, killing and wounding a large number of people.

A dozen boulders really flew more than three miles and fell into the city. One of them smashed into a metal arrow tower. smashed the metal arrow tower off a corner and landed on the ground, the surrounding soldiers quickly dodged, and a few auxiliary soldiers were scared and stupid, but they were saved by the swordsman next to them.

The rest of the boulders smashed into the clearing, rolled over more than a dozen meters, and then lost power.

Thousands of soldiers, under the cover of the RV, advanced towards the walls of Metatrin City. The magic trebuchet immediately unleashed its power and threw a huge number of magic stone projectiles. These magic stone projectiles are fired diagonally upwards, relying entirely on the downward impact. Spread out in mid-air and bombard downwards.

Hundreds of caravans were destroyed by magic trebuchets, and the attacking infantry was so densely packed that they were killed and wounded. Those who were not injured were all protected by the magicians around them. The magician hurriedly stepped back. These low-level sorcerers can defend against fist-sized stone bullets, but they can't face sharp bows and arrows.

This magic stone projectile has no accuracy at all, and is purely designed for the dense formation of the enemy.

The first blow was crushed by the blow of the magic trebuchet. Salin's eyes narrowed, and he discovered the Holy See's greatest weakness. The Holy See's long-range attack ability is not as good as Qin Yin's, and the technologies in Salin's hands are all invented by Qin Yinren. The trebuchets of the Tangulas, the building carts, etc., are not very effective.

It is no wonder that so many armies of the Holy See have been making trouble in the territory of Garulan for more than a year before gradually quelling the resistance of the local nobles. This type of attack comes at the cost of its own casualties.

"Let the craftsmen step up the production of stone bullets, and everyone will use them. "Salin has enough arrows in store that he won't be consumed even if he fights for half a year, but the number of stone bullets is not enough. It is now found that although the damage of stone bullets is less, it is much safer than that of bows and arrows. Even if attacking with a crossbow, the soldier has to show half of his head, and it is impossible to shoot in a safe place, while the trebuchet, when the enemy does not have the same equipment, is basically a safe kill and wound of the enemy, regardless of its own damage.

Nania said suddenly from behind, "Salin, don't do this. ”

"Okay, according to the original plan. However, replenish the number of stone projectiles as soon as possible. The enemy's main force, supported by high-level magicians, has little effect on this attack. Saleen immediately changed his words, but he knew in his heart that Nania was right, if he relied on trebuchets to suppress the enemy on a large scale, then his own soldiers would probably never have the experience and courage to fight the enemy in close combat.

Sure enough, the enemy immediately changed the way of attack, scattered the infantry, carried the ladder, and rushed to the city wall, and hundreds of steel arrow carts pushed up, also scattered very far, shooting at the city wall with hard crossbows, hoping to suppress the archers in the city of Metatrin.

Without the protection of the RV, these soldiers had to brave the rain of arrows to attack, and this was the real offensive and defensive battle. At this time, the role of the trebuchet is not too great, the launch of ten minutes can only be aimed at a small area of destruction, the enemy is scattered on a two-mile-wide battle line to attack, Salin's trebuchet, there is no magic tower to cooperate, can not be reasonably mobilized, too late to stop the enemy.
