Chapter 502: The Horn of War Has Been Sounded
"What's going on with this quartermaster?" Su Xiao also understood Caesar's specialness. Not only is the change rate of favorability amazing, but more importantly, the other party can actually regulate the price of items in the Battle Merit Shop, you know, it is something certified by the Reincarnation Paradise.
"The first time I saw that guy, my perception told me something was wrong. But it doesn't have much impact. Lin Jiuzhang said it.
"For now, it's a good thing."
Su Xiao nodded, and then the two of them found a tent casually and fell asleep. Here, even if someone comes to sneak attack, the target can only be the legion leader Carlos, who is very safe.
At night, the trumpet sounds.
This is the rallying cry, and more than 300,000 imperial soldiers have assembled to form more than a dozen phalanxes, and the follow-up reinforcements have arrived. Tonight they will launch a general assault on the Black Earth Fortress, with Legion Commander Carlos leading the charge.
In the army, Su Xiao woke up with a cigarette in his mouth, now that he can get combat merits by killing the enemy, he wants to be serious in this battle, not like before, after cutting down the nearby enemy, he starts to play soy sauce, and waits for the enemy to take the initiative to rush forward.
However, he glanced at Lin Jiu, who was riding next to him, and the pressure was much less. The pressure of one person collecting war exploits is naturally different from that of two people. Just as Lin Jiu borrowed his military exploits and came as soon as he opened his mouth, he would not be polite if he needed to borrow the other party's military exploits.
Knock, knock, knock......
The rousing drums of war came from the rear of the Imperial Army, and at this moment the Empire's more than 300,000 troops were advancing towards the Black Earth Fortress. In the face of the towering pitch-black walls, the Imperial soldiers did not fear, but maintained a neat line and advanced at a uniform speed.
On the edge of the walls of the Black Earth Fortress are large moat-wing crossbows, which resemble turrets, forged entirely from metal, and if you want to reload them, you have to use a rocker, which looks a bit like the starter lever of an old-fashioned walk-behind tractor, but with an enlarged model.
Click, click, click......
The sound of the crossbow winding is continuous, this kind of large machine crossbow can not be wound in advance, it will not be launched within a minute after winding, and the strong pull of the bowstring will deform the crossbow, which shows how terrifying the power of this thing is.
This terrifying weapon of war, known as the Heavy Wheel Crossbow, was invented and crafted by the dwarves. If the city guard heavy wheel crossbow only fires ordinary large crossbow arrows, then the tribe side will not use it to defend the fortress, even if the power of the crossbow arrow is strong, it attacks only one point, and the battlefield effect for hundreds of thousands of people is very small, but the attack range of the city guard heavy wheel crossbow is not a point, but a large area.
If the previous battle had started in front of the Black Earth Fortress, Lin Jiu would never have done such a striking act as "Burning New Wild". This protective heavy wheel Nu shot down dozens of arrows at him, and he was crippled if he didn't die.
Su Xiao did not go to the front to kill the enemy, but took out the Spider Empress and found a suitable position to snipe. One by one, the goblins who wound the heavy wheel crossbow were shot by Su Xiao.
A man with short brown hair and a cigarette in his mouth spotted Su Xiao's location, he was standing on the edge of the city wall, in front of him was a low obsidian wall one meter high, which was supposed to prevent the imperial soldiers from stumbling and falling into the fortress, but now it became a cover for the enemy.
"Black gun, find a way to knock it out..."
The Contractor's squad leader's voice stopped abruptly, and a golden spear of fire pierced through his head. Without a drop of blood, the contractor's head instantly turned into a fireball.
[Hint: The Hunter successfully kills the enemy contractor and receives 6 points of Reincarnation Paradise Merit.] 】
"This guy is good." Lin Jiu saw that he had obtained 6 points of Reincarnation Paradise Merit, which showed that the strength of the captain of the contractor team was not weak. It's a pity that the additional penetration of "Capital Punishment +12", coupled with the high temperature of the solar fireworks, pierced it to death with a spear.
And this blow also used the active ability of the "Piercing Man", which fell into a cooldown and could not be used again.
On the front of the battlefield, the cold green phosphorus fire burned on the stone slope under the fortress, which largely hindered the Imperial army from piling up the stone slope. The stone slope has been piled up nearly 30 meters high, and the towering fortress is conservatively estimated to be 35 meters high, and the difference between the stone slope and the fortress is not more than 5 meters.
Under the scorching of green phosphorus, the stones on the stone slope began to melt and turned into a dark red liquid, which was magma. Faint bursts of light flickered among the lava. It was a large hot and cold displacement alchemy array.
The goblin inventor, one of the councillors of the Tribal Alliance, found out about this and jumped to his feet and screamed that he was fooled.
After about a few tens of seconds, the magma that bubbled out a lot of bubbles under the fortress stopped churning and began to solidify. The magma condensed together collapsed and cracked, and these cracks were not messy, but formed a chain of large alchemical arrays. The ground shook, the solidified layers of magma cracked, and in the cracks of the magma layers, hotter magma gushed out, and those cracks spewed out magma like fountains.
The higher the magma surges, the more lava flows down the slope, and the more casualties the Imperial army will suffer.
When the lava swelled to the level of the fortress, Ronna, the adjutant in the rear of the Imperial army, smashed the stone slab in his hand. With a snap, the slate shattered, and the magma surging from under the fortress stopped in an instant.
The color of the magma that has stopped gushing begins to change, from blazing red to blue-black, and a layer of ice crystals quickly clings to the surface of the magma. With such a large alternation of hot and cold, the magma slope, which has become a semi-solid, cracks rapidly.
When hot and cold are touched, a large steam rises, which is not ordinary water vapor, but superheated steam far beyond the critical point. The steam was filling, and tonight was a westerly wind, and a large area of steam quickly enveloped the black earth fortress, and tonight was the weather that Carlos wanted most.
"Ahh
Hoarse screams rang out from the fortress, and four "dishes" appeared on the fortress, steamed orcs, steamed goblins, steamed dwarves, and steamed trolls.
In just a few seconds, there was a dead silence on the fortress, only a white vapour of steam, and the tribal army on the fortress was dead. A smell of flesh wafted away, and some of the newly recruited recruits of the Imperial Army began to retch. Silent, cruel, terrifying, this is what the Black Earth Fortress looks like now.
"Good fellows." Lin Jiu is a good guy, this is much more terrifying than the scorched corpse he caused.
The steam lasted for more than four hours before it began to thin down, and the sky began to light up. Thousands of soldiers with large buckets on their backs lined up in a neat line and hurried towards the Black Earth Fortress, and when the thousands of soldiers rushed to the front of the solidified magma slope, they untied the thick bucket half a man high behind them and poured the water inside at the bottom of the slope.
Laugh at~
The water vapor rises, and the temperature of the slope gradually decreases after watering, and the surface becomes gray-black honeycomb. Buckets of water were poured on it, the temperature of the magma slope cooled rapidly, and thousands of people gradually pushed upwards to continue watering.
Woo woo woo~
The horn of war sounded, and for this kind of high-slope warfare, the battle for the high ground formed by the fortress was the most important. The Imperial army rushed up the slope in waves, ahead of them in a mixed formation of heavy shieldmen and spearmen, which was suitable for charging on any terrain.
At the other end of the fortress, the tribal army also began to charge, and this time their strength was also more than 200,000. This time, the more than 200,000 troops of the tribal army are elite troops, not the ragtag army of the last battle.
The Dwarven Heavy Shield Soldier successfully resisted the Imperial Army's shield spear charging formation, and the Goblin Thrower behind the Dwarven Heavy Shield Soldier hid behind the shield and began to bet small vials of green phosphorus Molotov cocktails on the Imperial Army.
Bang, bang......
The green phosphorus fire formed a line of fire, and the next moment a line of fire formed by a golden flame covered the green phosphorus fire. Lin Jiu controlled the solar fireworks at the edge of the limit distance.
The golden line of fire moved forward, pressing into the tribal army. This time, the tribal army is all elite, including the equipment on their bodies, which is not as easy to ignite as in the last battle. The golden flames were quickly extinguished by the tribal army.
But Lin Jiu's role has been brought into play, which will make the tribal army throw a rat trap and no longer use green phosphorus fire to attack.
