Chapter 216: The Mage Is Afraid of Rogues (Part II)

Retracting the bone needle, Ge Yi felt a hot pain in the lobes of his lungs. He mobilized his sword qi and created a talent wound for himself, but it was real, otherwise he would not be able to deceive that magician. Taking two steps back, two pirates who followed him, one left and one right, shielded him with a wooden shield for his bow and arrows. Geyi took out a vial and poured himself a mouthful of magic liquid.

On this trip, Salin gave Ge one or three copies of the potion, and told him that the potion would be stored for three months at most, and it would be useless.

Of course, Ge Yi will not save, hundreds of soldiers have already poured in the distance, and as a commander, he will also fight in person. Ge was ruthless one by one, and catalyzed a weight of demonic liquid with sword qi, turned it into a mist, and inhaled it into his lungs to repair his injuries.

These little tricks were taught to him by Zola, and Geyi was not only cruel to others, but also to himself. This form of treatment is extremely fast, but it entails more suffering.

Ge Yi immediately spat out a mouthful of purple blood, and his face turned pale.

Bah!

Ge Yi came in and out of a mouthful of bloody phlegm. He was spitting on the corpse of the magician on the ground.

What if you are a magician, you haven't been killed by Lao Tzuyin. Thinking of this, Ge had a fierce light in his eyes, and he drew his short sword and pounced on the city gate.

The narrowest part of the gate was only six meters, and six iron shields were erected to block the enemy's onslaught, and Ge Yi killed him in the back, and two pirates were very loyal to him, blocking feather arrows for him.

An iron crossbow shot into a pirate's arm, grazing the bones and piercing through it, causing the pirate's face to twist, but he was also so brave that he exchanged the sword for another hand, only as if the seriously injured right hand was not his own.

Ge Yi didn't look back, he rushed to the city gate, the iron shield naturally separated, and let the three of them pass, at this time, together with Ge Yi's body, there were several feather arrows.

The hole in the gate continued to widen, and the barbarians continued to break through the gate with a few iron axes they had stolen, allowing the magic chariot to rush in. These barbarians also recognized one thing, as long as the magic chariot could storm the city, this battle would be considered a victory.

The battle situation was extremely tragic, and the defending side saw that the other party destroyed the city gate, and knew that there must be something more dangerous behind, so they attacked several rows of iron shields at the city gate. And the barbarians knew that if the city gate was recaptured, more than 100 of their brothers would be killed by the other side.

There are a thousand heavy cavalry in the west of the city, if they are transferred. Even more than a hundred barbarians could not resist it in any case.

At this time, Ge Yi also knew that he had miscalculated, in his opinion, if he suddenly attacked, the other party would inevitably panic, and there would be no problem supporting it for six minutes. But when he was a pirate, he faced soldiers or mercenaries of minor nobles, and today's opponent is the regular army of the Empire.

Suddenly attacked, these regular troops quickly pounced, hardly without any hesitation. Although the faces of those low-ranking officers of the empire were a little hideous, they commanded in an orderly manner, seeing that the barbarians behind a row of iron shields had been slaughtered, and the row behind them had risen again.

The biggest problem of the barbarians is that they have lost the weapons they have at their disposal, and if they have axes and halberds, they will not be able to break through a line of defense so quickly by the other party. The emperor ** team has already begun to mobilize pikemen, seven meters long iron spears, and when the * human wall is formed, no formation can resist it.

Click, click......

Outside the city came the crisp sound of horses' hooves, and the barbarians cheered and slashed the gates even harder. Instead of following the magic chariot, the pirates under Grid's command arrived first. Their skeletal warhorses were all hung with barbarian axes. The soldiers at the head of the city immediately fired arrows downward.

But these pirates were holding shields. Wearing the armor designed by Saleen, it can't be killed directly unless it is a medium-sized alchemy crossbow or above.

The speed of the skeleton war horse was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had rushed to the city, and the soldiers at the head of the city were no longer able to mobilize heavy crossbows to shoot them.

Strandborg is a city built between two towering mountain peaks, and the walls are so high that they are difficult to climb. However, Stranburg did not build an urn city, only a city wall. The pirate in front of him had already jumped into the huge hole in the city gate, as soon as he lifted his horse's head. He took off his heavy axe, threw it on the ground, and then turned and rushed out again.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen axes were taken into the hands of the barbarians, and this axe was unusually sharp and very heavy, and the barbarians gathered together and began to completely destroy the city gate with their axes. In less than a minute, the city gate collapsed with a bang.

The pirates braved the arrows from the city, threw ropes, and dragged the fragments of the gate away, and soon cleared the road in front of the gate.

A few pirates who were good at shooting also picked up small alchemy crossbows and counterattacked the city, but unfortunately the terrain was unfavorable, and they couldn't even suppress their opponents.

A large group of pikemen had been gathered in the city, and when they were about to attack, the barbarians, who had been armed, crossed the iron shield line and launched a counter-charge against an enemy ten times their size.

Arrows rained down, and the barbarians, without the fitting armor, were shot down by more than two dozen people, but more than thirty others rushed into the formation of pikemen. To be exact, they didn't rush in. Rather, it jumped in.

The pikemen in the front row had already raised their spears flat, and it was difficult for even large demonic beasts to break through this formation. But the barbarian jumped several meters high, and two guys were impaled by spears in the back row, and even if the magician arrived, he couldn't save him.

Most of the barbarians dodged the guns and fell into the camp of the emperor. The pikemen also carried short swords, but in order to storm the city gates, the formation of this brigade of pikemen was extremely dense, and throwing away the spears was already a mess. How can a short sword be an opponent for an axe, the barbarians are simply chaotic battles.

Anyway, there are enemies all around, and they can hit the target with their axes and eyes closed.

The pikemen were swept up and could no longer maintain morale. They had never seen an enemy wield an axe like this. Every barbarian selected by Saleen is a Hercules, and such a person, trained in the Emperor**, can be a low-level sergeant. A low-ranking sergeant can lead five to forty soldiers, as the elite of the squad, responsible for attacking fortifications.

What about mages, mages?

Junior officers began to shout loudly, the gates had been breached, and if no mage came to seal it, everyone knew what would happen next. Although the number of more than 100 pirates who appeared outside the city gate was small, each of them rode a skeletal warhorse. These emperors and officials all know that this means that there are necromancers among the enemies, and they are great magicians.

If you're unlucky, it's not the Great Magi, it's the Magi, let this Necromancer enter the city and unleash a large army of the undead, then Strandburg will be completely finished.

When the mage is flying in the sky, he can also threaten the safety of the mage with the intensive shooting of the alchemy crossbow, after all, this is the defense of the city, and a large number of hard crossbows are arranged at the head of the city and the high places in the city. But if the magician enters through the ground. You simply can't do that kind of attack.

To the west of the city, two infantry regiments were already approaching the walls of Stranburg, and the magicians in these two regiments were already blessing the soldiers with wind speed magic to avoid being hit by the magic stone projectiles that fell from the sky. The speed of the Magic Stone Bullet is not very fast, and many mages can completely dodge it by relying on wind speed magic, this weapon is thrown intensively to kill, and it is very effective against a large number of targets.

The trebuchets at the head of the city could accurately kill targets within two miles, so the infantry of the two banner regiments stopped at a distance of two and a half miles and began to set up their own trebuchets in the back.

Two brigades of soldiers set up their crossbows near the trebuchet, and the magician stood aside with a grim face. At this distance, the trebuchets at the head of the city need some luck to hit their targets. These magicians are fighting to keep their trebuchets safe.

This is the most prudent tactic, only after the installation of your own trebuchet and the suppression of the city can the infantry rush up, otherwise most of the soldiers will be killed and injured by the stone bullets thrown by the opponent before they reach the edge of the city.

A trebuchet is one such thing, and if you have it, the enemy doesn't, and the effect is huge. If both sides are evenly matched and destroy each other, in the end, it will be up to the soldiers to settle the battle.

The magic trebuchet more than ten meters high was erected, and the magicians guarding the trebuchet were still very excited. Back then, the Qin Yin Empire relied on magicians and trebuchets to lay down a large area of the country.

In those days, the sorcerers placed large defensive spells in front of the trebuchets and destroyed enemy cities with meteoric rains.

This attack is very efficient, much more effective than relying on a mage to bombard. After all, even if you are a magician, the magic string is limited, and the trebuchet can keep attacking as long as there are enough magic stone bullets.

At that time, the Grükos family was so strong that even the Holy See had to compromise with other forces in order to protect the last holy land of Tangulas.

It's been a thousand years since such a scene occurred, right?

In fact, Rex didn't expect the infantry of the 2,000 Banners to take down Stellanburg, and she made an attack. It's to relieve the pressure on Daniel at the East Gate.

Fortunately, by the time the incident happened, the soldiers of the Kushui Army were almost ready, and the battle puppets were also activated, and the infantry of the two banner regiments came outside the city. These battle golems are also responsible for carrying magic stone bullets, and as long as there is a magic core, these golems will be tireless. And doing this kind of simple work, the magician who commands the puppet hardly consumes much mental energy.

The two flag regiments were only the vanguard, and then the cavalry of the two flag regiments came to the position, almost on the front and rear feet. These infantry were not heavy infantry, and if the enemy sent out a heavy cavalry charge when they were just in formation, it would be difficult for these soldiers, who mainly relied on magical machinery to fight.

Attacking the city is a dangerous tactic, but if used well, it will inflict massive damage on the enemy.

The people at the head of the city had already discovered Kushuijun's actions with the help of the alchemy telescope, and immediately began to summon mages to correct the trebuchet at the head of the city. At this time, it is not the first to attack who will take advantage. All trebuchets must be calibrated to ensure the range of the landing point. But the besieging side will not know the exact location of the trebuchet at the head of the city until at least the defending side attacks.

Rex's trebuchet may not be able to destroy walls, but it can smash the opponent's trebuchet.
