Chapter 315: There is a word of suffering

readx;? The corners of Xiong Meng's mouth twitched, and he was worried about something, and something would happen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ever since the ape said that Niu Ben's new weapon involved the flaminite, he had a very bad premonition in his heart, and his own strength was several times that of Donghai Town, but he always felt that he was not sure of victory, and it seemed that something unpredictable would happen to him.

Explosive bombs, terrifying in power, can threaten the lives of anyone of any race under the saint, as for being blown into several large pieces or broken bones is determined by the race from which they originate, after all, there are many powerful fighting races whose physical strength is extraordinary, but so what?

Xiong Meng's strength has not diminished over the years, and he has even improved a little, but it is undeniable that he does lack a lot of the intimidating domineering when he first became famous, maybe he hasn't noticed it himself, but the people around him who are familiar with him have more or less felt it.

Before King Hong and King Lian came, he and Shark Sihai formulated a tactic based on the situation studied by the ape weapon to trap the third battalion.

First, although the 3rd Battalion is an important place for the ape army, the grain and grass reserves in the city are extremely sufficient, and there is also a lot of land behind the Iron Mountain that can grow crops, but if it is besieged by foreign troops for a year and a half, there will still be problems with the supply in the city.

Second, although the three battalions will not have a large-scale battle, but no other cities and towns on the mainland have such perseverance as the three battalions, and wherever the new emperor's iron hooves pass, they all bow down to their subordinates.

Thirdly, during the siege, large-scale battles will not break out, but small fights can be carried out every once in a while, so that the extremely limited strength of the Minotaurs can continue to be consumed, and the effect may not be significant at first, but in the long run, it will definitely drag down the third battalion with high walls and deep ditches.

The strategic thinking was excellent, but there were two princes who supervised the war and pointed fingers at Xiong Meng's deployment.

The Shark Four Seas represents the will of the Sea Clan Shark Emperor, and has full authority to command all matters related to this attack on the land, having said that, the strength of the Sea Clan at this time is not what it used to be.

After ten years of war, the Sea Tribes suffered heavy casualties, and although they had coveted the rich resources of the mainland for a long time, if they relied on their own recovery, it would not be possible to start another war in just over three years.

Moreover, the whale clan, who was ousted by the current shark clan two hundred years ago, and a group of old tribes came in and made moves, with obvious intentions, wanting to regain the former dominance of the sea.

Therefore, the Shark Emperor had to devote a large part of his energy to deal with this problem.

If it weren't for the envoys sent by Ape Da on the eve of the rebellion to discuss cooperation between the two sides, the Shark Emperor would have been really powerless to attack the land in recent years.

As a royal family, Shark Sihai is naturally very aware of internal affairs, so he was not very active in the few battles this time, except for the radical behavior of the Crab who has a deep hatred with Niu Ben, but he was killed because he did not know the strength of Donghai Town.

Xiong Meng's strategy and tactics for the third battalion, Shark Sihai raised his hands in favor, this method is only beneficial to the sea tribe and has no disadvantages, not to mention that the agreement reached with Ape Da was only to share the resources of the Iron Mountain that the third battalion relied on.

However, the arrival of the two princely brothers of the New Ape Emperor completely shattered their plans, and they unanimously advocated a strong attack on the third battalion.

Xiong Meng, as a courtier, had to obey orders, although Shark Sihai did not obey the orders of the two kings, but he would never insist on his opinion, because the siege equipment used in the assault was all from the ape clan, and all the sea clan warriors could do when fighting was to cooperate as much as possible.

For this situation, the second king saw it in his eyes, and even the bitter and mean Ripple King Ape Yi didn't say anything, and he also knew that the long-range battle sticky shrimp soldiers and crabs in the early stage of the assault would not play much role.

The above is a true portrayal of the extreme differences between the forces within the coalition forces.

Let's talk about the current battle, in the early days of the battle, the morale of the coalition army was greatly boosted, and the three battalions were all over the city and were hit by boulders and heavy crossbows falling from the sky, and the solid outer wall also collapsed in several places.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the counterweight trebuchet that was the main force to break the city ran out of heavy ammunition, and it was no longer able to suppress the minotaur with some gravel and crossbow arrows, and finally ushered in the first round of counterattacks commanded by Niu Ben.

There will naturally be defense, and there will also be defensive counterattacks, there is nothing unusual about this, as the active attacker, Xiong Meng and Hong Wang Lian Wang Yuan did not expect to take down the third battalion of Donghai Town, which can be said to be the strongest city in the mainland, through a few rounds of boulder attacks.

The normal situation should be that the two sides will finally decide the winner after a long and tragic offensive and defensive battle.

Therefore, Xiong Meng was not moved at all after seeing Niu Ben ordering the city to erect a trebuchet, although the stones thrown down from the city could cause great damage to his warriors, but they did not threaten his life, and they would not even hurt him.

He is ready for a long fight......

But......

Xiong Meng never expected that maybe it would be more appropriate to put it another way, he didn't expect that Niu Ben would use the weapon he was worried about at the beginning of the counterattack!

"MD! How many flaminites did the bull get up!"

The first general cursed and dodged a stone the size of a watermelon, but it happened to be a fire bomb near the foothold.

More than a pound of flamingo wrapped in an iron shell was instantly ignited by the spark that emerged from the impact of the special attack of the ape Jisheng, which is really worthy of being the most violent fire attribute spar in the Eastern Continent.

The refined iron shell about three minutes thick was powerless to restrain the energy generated by the flaminite that was undergoing a rapid chemical reaction, and in an instant, the shell was torn apart, and countless fragments of refined iron scattered away like a deadly blade, covering a radius of ten meters.

Suddenly, the bear didn't have time to think about it, and sensed the danger signal from his body, and in a flash, the cold steel ghost head knife was already in the bear's paw, the wrist was flipped, and the door panel general knife was like a windmill standing proudly in the wind.

"Jingle Bell"

There was a crisp sound of gold and iron, Xiong suddenly withdrew his knife and stood up, looked around with cold eyes, and was shocked to find that he was the only one left in the field standing tall with his head held high, and the other were all stumps and broken arms, red and white flesh and blood were dotted among them, which was terrifying.

The power of the explosive bomb is unbeatable!

In fact, this is just a small microcosm of the coalition camp at this time, everyone understands that the total number of ape sea coalition troops exceeds 400,000, and the company camp stretches without end, and when the battle is due, the battle array is also crowded.

Compared to the lonely third camp city, the visual effect of this formation is indeed shocking, but now this advantage has become an absolute disadvantage under the threat of explosive bombs, and an explosion kills more than double the previous records of all explosive bombs.

The position of the allied trebuchet was higher than that of the heavy crossbow platoon, and now it was attacked by three battalions in a round, and two-thirds of the trebuchets stopped working, not necessarily because the machine was destroyed, but because the soldiers who operated it were smashed and killed and injured.

As a result, the number of stones thrown into the city was greatly reduced, and the threat to the lives of the soldiers in the city dropped dramatically, after all, large stones were difficult to dodge, and as long as they were hit, they would be crippled.

The bull-headed men are in high spirits, and the warriors who control the trebuchets reload or fire in an orderly manner, while the others keep an eye on the javelin crossbows that are still falling, and if they endanger themselves or the trebuchet operator, they will take action or raise their shields in time to resist.

The crossbow is incredibly penetrating, but the warriors would rather try to block the bolts than carry the boulder falling from the sky.

Although the heavy crossbow battalion commanded by the ape weapon was not attacked by the city at the moment, he also had a hard time talking about it now.

The reason why the crossbow bolts fired by the heavy crossbow of the machine platoon is amazing, although there are unique features in the design of the crossbow machine, and the material of the crossbow arrows.

As mentioned above, the crossbow shaft is made of red oil wood with good weight, and the arrow is made of hard cold iron into a spiral triangular shape, when falling from the sky, the crossbow arrow will rotate at a certain speed under the influence of gravity and air resistance.

However, the first time the platoon of crossbows appeared on the battlefield, the ape weapon commanded such a large-scale battle for the first time, using the method of 300 platoon crossbow machines firing a salvo.

The salvo has its terrible features, that is, heavy arrows fall from the sky, covering a wide area, so that the opponent cannot find a place to hide, and it did cause great trouble to the three at that time, and the soldiers were killed and wounded.

However, the shortcomings of the salvo are also obvious, the extremely wasteful crossbow arrows are almost like shooting them into the fire, and the few salvos of that day have actually used up nearly seventy percent of the crossbow arrows carried by the army this time.

Tongtian City's heavy crossbow reserves are not insufficient, but everyone didn't expect that the third battalion of Donghai Town would be so difficult.

On the same day, the troops were collected, and the ape counted the inventory carried, and he felt a hidden crisis, so he ordered people to use local materials to speed up the production of heavy crossbow arrows.

The ten-mile barrier is full of towering trees, but unfortunately they are all born by magic, and there must be another defect that violates the natural growth laws of living things, that is, none of these trees are red oil trees.

However, the actual conditions are like this, the ape has no choice but to cut down the tree, the problem of the crossbow shaft is solved, and the arrow has become a new problem.

There is no shortage of ape-men who have learned from the Minotaur craftsmen, but it is impossible to carry a complete set of bulky smelting equipment with them when they go out with the army, and how can they have time to calmly forge spiral triangular arrows on the battlefield.

However, the ape was worthy of being a skilled mechanical researcher, and after a long time of hard thinking, he finally came up with an expedient solution: the shaft of the crossbow arrow broke the uniform thickness of the front and back, the arrow was slightly thicker, the tail was slightly thinner, and ornaments such as bird feathers were carried on the tail to maintain balance.

The number of iron arrows was seriously insufficient, and the head could only be sharpened as much as possible, so that the penetration of the crossbow arrows would undoubtedly be greatly reduced, but there was nothing they could do.

However, after testing, the ape weapon concluded that although this kind of crossbow arrow cannot be compared with the original red oil wood crossbow arrow, it falls from the air, and after the blessing of gravity, it is not something that ordinary people can resist casually.

Indeed, although the soldiers of the Third Battalion had already noticed that the crossbow arrows of today were different from those of those days, many soldiers were still wounded by them.
