Chapter 751: Offensive and Defensive Battles
In the blink of an eye, night fell, under the faces of the defending troops and the emperor Tie Qing, accompanied by Gruwin's use of mana to manipulate the soil, several giant war machines appeared in front of everyone.
Tens of meters tall, thick body, boxy structure.
This is one of the most famous war machines used in ancient times to storm cities! Siege Towers!
There were no siege engines on it, after all, it was too complicated for Gruwin to make in a short period of time.
It's just a mud wall made of clay with two rows of large wheels that can be pushed.
It's simple to build, but it's very practical.
When the soldiers climb up the stairs, they can immediately wipe out the advantage of the defenders, and even suppress the fire with a high bottom.
With the walls of the two sides connected, countless soldiers could directly climb the walls to fight.
In ancient times, the siege lasted for months, and most of the time was actually spent building siege equipment.
After all, when you pile up your fate, there are too many people who die, and if you don't do it, your morale will collapse.
And a giant like a siege tower, basically once it is successfully manufactured, it will announce the official end of this tug-of-war.
Without the benefit of the city walls, the soldiers in the city will definitely be defeated!
With a loud rumbling sound, under the control of Gruwen and the impetus of countless soldiers below, the heavy siege towers began to approach the city.
The soldiers above shot arrows desperately, throwing stones with all their might.
But whether it is a rolling wood thunderstone or a golden juice arrow, anything that hits the thick deck above the soldier will only be directly bounced away.
Because it is made of clay, even the method of fire attack is useless.
Moreover, the emperor at this time could not even send such an ace as a mage army to forcibly dismantle the siege tower.
Because there were too many forbidden magic stones used within this strong city wall, ordinary mages had to struggle to condense even a fireball when they arrived on the city wall.
Even if he is a lord-level master, in front of this city wall, he can't exert half of his strength.
This is one of the last hole cards of the Brilliant Empire, the Forbidden Demon Wall.
With the well-equipped Praetorian Guard, it is still the two ace defenders stationed in the imperial city all year round.
Then there's the forbidden magic stone and the towering city walls that limit magic.
Anyone who wants to gnaw on this hard bone will probably break their mouths full of teeth.
As long as the imperial city in the middle is not broken, the mountains on both sides and several dangerous fortresses that also have forbidden demon walls form a defensive line.
Then even if the Brilliant Empire is really defeated one day and is beaten to the doorstep by the enemy, it will lose half of its territory at most.
This imperial city in the middle is the trump card that can bring the Bright Empire back to life and keep the last family foundation!
But the emperor never thought that one day, the hole cards that he was most proud of would actually lock his hands and feet in turn.
A normal siege may not be able to take it with ten times the enemy's siege.
Not to mention that the Imperial City is not only towering into the sky, but also has countless resources behind it.
As long as the magic is sealed and the enemy is not allowed to break the city instantly, this giant city tens of meters high should be undefeated.
But now there are more of them, and there are more people on the other side.
They are brave, and the people on the other side are even more afraid of death.
If even the only advantage of the city wall is erased, then it is really a joke.
After all, no matter how elite the soldiers of the Imperial City are, if you fight to the death with the people of half the country, and the other party is still not afraid of death, it is definitely a dead end.
With the dull sound of the trumpet, countless heavy planks covered in earth fell as the chains were released.
Behind the plank, which was more than twenty meters wide, were endless soldiers huddled together.
The former peasants were now dressed in armor from various towns and armed with all sorts of weapons.
It doesn't matter if the armor is hard enough or not, and it doesn't matter if the weapon is sharp or not.
With the planks slamming down on the opposite wall, they roared out with their weapons raised.
It's just that before they could show their heads, countless elite soldiers who had been on the city wall for a long time had already loosened their bowstrings.
Longbow! Arbalist! Even a ballista!
In the flying of arrows, countless mobs sliding down the wooden planks were shot into sieves on the spot.
They tumbled down the slope of the skateboard, and before they could hit the ground, they were completely breathing.
Before the defenders who had destroyed the first group of chargers breathed a sigh of relief, another group of enemies emerged from the siege towers, ignoring the corpses of their companions lying on the ground below, completely ignoring the arrows that filled their bodies, and roaring and jumping down.
The planks are angled at a 40-degree angle, pointing like a slide towards the city wall.
Groups of mobs slid down the plank, and as soon as they landed, they crashed into the gunshots, killing them on the spot.
But as soon as this man died, the second man followed suit.
The second person was dressed as a gourd together, and the third person followed.
The spears used to defend the city can be as long as they are three meters, and the shortest ones are even more than a meter.
After all, this is used to defend the city, not to line up, to ensure that the enemy can't climb up, just push him down as soon as he emerges, and you don't need to care too much about the length.
String one or two soldiers, this spear can do it.
String four or five, and it's barely okay.
But as more and more enemies jumped down, the corpses in front of them piled higher and higher.
Gradually, the spear was either broken or buried by the corpse.
Just in the blink of an eye, the gun array blocking in front of the siege tower was piled up by the other party with corpses!
I watched as countless mobs jumped out of the corpses of their companions, frantically killing in all directions.
The soldiers, who could not draw their spears at all, hurriedly drew their short swords at their waists to meet the enemy.
This group of soldiers is indeed elite, those who can be selected as the Praetorian Guard, and those who can be selected to be stationed in the imperial city, they are all the top battlefield experts.
The brilliant empire established by force, even after more than a thousand years, still has not neglected a single cent militarily! As a result, there is not a single waste in the defending army!
It's a pity that no matter how powerful a good player is, there is no use in this chaotic battlefield now.
Because there are so many enemies jumping down, and the number is simply outrageous.
As soon as he swung his sword and slashed one to death, someone immediately swooped down from above the corpse, brandishing his weapon and slashing indiscriminately.
When you finally hacked the person above to death with a sword, several guys pushed the corpse hard, and pushed the corpse to the ground with you on the spot.
Before he could get up, the messy weapons were thrown in front of him, and the fallen person was beaten to death on the spot.
Using the platform formed by several siege towers as arrowheads, countless mobs snowballed in a frenzied expansion in all directions.
It's not a metaphor, it's a real thing.
Stepping on the corpse of his companion, he rolled over and smashed on the enemy, and before he could get up, more companions were already stepping on and rushing through the enemy.
Under this desperate style of play, the defending troops retreated again and again, first the gun array was broken, and then the city platform several meters high was captured.
Amid the shouts of killing, section after section of the city wall was taken away by the mob!
It's just that this battle, which uses human life as a springboard and is like a bamboo, was immediately suppressed after a while.
