Chapter 278: Siege
Xia Zuo led the team to guard the city gate, Achill led the people at the left end of the city wall, Brigitte, who insisted on going into battle, led the team at the right end, and the Lionheart led most of the fighters to stand by at any time, ready to meet the opponent's blow from the sky.
The huge city gate had already been sealed with earth, and no one had entered it anyway, so there was no need to leave such an obvious flaw for the enemy to attack.
The soldiers of the coalition army got closer and closer, and in the two-mile-wide mountain road were neatly arranged about 300 heavy infantry siege phalanxes, each column had 500 people, and in the gaps of the heavy infantry ranks, interspersed with tall Beamon, they stepped on neat steps, closely following behind the huge siege equipment.
The huge siege machine slowly moved forward, and it was only when Xia Zuo was close that he could see that these things were actually at the level of his line of sight, under the turn of twenty-four wheels, relying on the power of the gears to spontaneously foresee.
Xia Zuo quickly ordered the soldiers to enter the battle readiness position, and Achill's shout sounded on the city wall, "Brothers, as long as these bastards dare to come, kill me fiercely, I will reward one hundred gold coins, kill two and reward two hundred, if you kill enough of a hundred, and when these humans are beaten back, I will find him the most watery girl."
"Achill, then you have to be ready to go bankrupt!" Xia Zuo replied with a loud voice, making the soldiers on the city wall laugh wildly, with the fierce aura rising from Xia Zuo's body, all the soldiers were bubbling with bloodthirsty killing intent, and a strong breath that seemed to be blood-colored permeated the entire city.
The soldiers of the coalition army were getting closer and closer, and when they were still about a kilometer from the city walls. Bursts of rapid drum beats, suddenly remembered a loud shout of killing that rushed to the sky, and these coalition soldiers rushed up to the city wall frantically around the rapidly accelerating siege equipment.
Within a kilometer is the distance where the bed crossbow and catapult can exert their most power, they are all experienced elite warriors, and when attacking the city, they must not hesitate, the closer they get to the city wall, the safer it is.
"Release!" Xia Zuo roared, the deafening sound of machine springs and the sound of winches and bowstrings sounded, and more than two hundred bed crossbows adjusted to a subtle angle. More than two hundred bursting giant crossbows radiated out in a fan shape. The dense tens of thousands of arrow feathers emitted a terrifying and piercing roar of arrows, mixed with huge flaming iron balls, and fiercely slammed into the group of allied soldiers charging.
Countless screams rang out, and more than 5,000 people were hit by arrows. About a thousand people died on the spot. But more often than not, it was not hit in the fatal part. The powerful arrows pierced through their bodies and pinned them to the ground, and once the dark blue metal whirlwind appeared, it would sweep away within a hundred meters after all. The soldier didn't even have time to wail before he was torn to pieces.
The mighty Beamon bravely swung his fist and smashed the huge iron balls that were burning one after another, but completely ignoring the actions of the ordinary soldiers around him, instead caused the bursting molten iron to cause more powerful lethality, and in the terrible wail, the smell of burnt flesh once again filled the valley.
Suddenly, a terrifying wave emanated from behind the coalition warriors, and the craftsmanship and technology of the human beings far superior to the orcs were once again displayed in front of the eyes of the Kampas, and the huge lathe with the shape of a round tube that Xia Zuo had seen before did not follow the army, but was far away from the valley about five kilometers away from the city wall.
One cylinder after another was placed at an angle of forty-five degrees, and in the midst of that terrifying plucking and rolling thunderous roar, a black pressure of more than 300 huge iron balls that had been more than ten meters in the air drew a perfect parabola in the air and flew towards the city wall.
Raging flames suddenly burned on the iron balls in mid-air, the flames were white and pure, and Xia Zuo could clearly feel that Hussein in the coalition army had attached his holy fire to these terrifying iron balls.
With such a fast speed and such a large iron ball, even if it was just an ordinary iron ball, it was enough to make a big gap in the city wall, not to mention that even if those holy flames were removed, Xia Zuo didn't want to wake up that these iron balls themselves would not be boring.
"Damn, how can you hit so far" Achill was stunned and scolded as he looked at the iron ball in the air.
The iron ball burning with the holy fire came in an instant, and a wild and domineering aura suddenly filled the city wall, dark clouds filled the city, thunder rushed, covering the sky on the city wall, and the burning iron ball rushed into the dark clouds, and a violent explosion rolled up a gust of wind and clouds.
"Odris, what's the point of playing these little tricks!, do you dare to come out and fight!" A figure flew out of the coalition camp, and at the front was Hussein, the Blood Bubble Man and Angus, who was controlled by the Blood Robed Man, Xia Zuo saw Ivy at a glance in the crowd, and beside Ivy, there was also a purple pattern on his eyebrows and she looked seven or eight points of imagination of the beautiful man.
"Just with you, you dare to challenge me!" King Lionheart sneered disdainfully, but still led a figure to rise into the sky within the city wall, and the sky was their main battlefield.
Xia Zuo frowned slightly, but there was no way, the other party clearly wanted to drop the Lionheart King out, but since the opponent's fighters were fighting, the Lionheart King had to go out, and the rest of them had to deal with those terrifying iron balls by themselves, Xia Zuo would not think that under the siege of three outrageous powerhouses, the Lionheart King still had time to help them break the siege.
"Another round of salvo" Xia Zuo roared, and at the same time, a piece of silver-white knife light rained out from the depths, and in the terrible sound of breaking the air, the soldiers who charged were pierced through the body and died.
After another round of arrows, leaving behind a field of hideous and bloody corpses, the forward fighters of the coalition finally rushed through the best range of the bed crossbow, and the experienced warriors breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
"The infantry is ready to engage, and the archers' bed crossbows continue to shoot!" Xia Zuo sneered and stood at the head of the city, and the fierce roar clearly sounded in the ears of every soldier, immediately attracting a howl.
The thunderous and heavy steps sounded, and against the arrow feathers in the sky, more than a hundred and ten huge beamons rushed up quickly, and the arrows shot by the strong bow and crossbow were easily bounced off their bodies, not even a white mark could be left, although the giant crossbow and the iron ball were powerful, but they could not inflict fatal damage on them.
The huge Beamon flew and jumped, with a height of more than two hundred meters, it was not a problem at all in front of them, and one by one Beamon easily flew over the moat, and rushed towards the soldiers on the city wall in a cold and solemn manner.
Xia Zuo and Archer laughed and waved their hands at the same time, and more than two thousand bloated bear-people and huge half-human mammoth warriors appeared on the battlefield, as the most powerful race from the Kampas tribe, these orcs with huge bodies were densely clustered together, and the distance between them could only barely have a space to throw.
They had huge crossbow arrows the thickness of a human head, and these heavy guys, who couldn't even fire a bed crossbow, were no problem for these Campas with great power.
There were more than two thousand, and they were thrown out by the old Griffin's overcharging and bursting giant crossbows, densely clustered together, solid as a steel wall covered with spikes.
The Beamons were indeed powerful, and they kept waving their fists to smash the Bursting Giant Crossbow one by one, but the Bursting Giant Crossbow after the violent collision still rolled up a terrifying metal whirlwind in the air, although these things were not fatal to Beamon's terrifying body.
But how could Xia Zuo, who was guarding over and over again, give up such a good opportunity, find a flaw in their subtle and dense movements, the figure flashed in the air like a ghost, and when he fell back to the city wall, he casually threw away the bloody bumps in his hand, and there were five Beamon who only had bloody eyes left and fell from the sky, and the rest of Beamon also retreated with various injuries in embarrassment, they broke away from the follow-up troops too far, and went deep alone, even Beamon could only suffer in front of these terrifying weapons.
The dense feathers covered the distance of four hundred feet in front of the city wall, and the bursting giant crossbow and catapult could not attack at this angle, but it was true that the best killing range of strong crossbows and bows and arrows, one by one the soldiers wailed to the end, they struggled to get up, but more arrow feathers fell, turning the whole ground into a swaying jungle of arrow feathers.
The wails of dying were everywhere, the groans of pain echoed throughout the battlefield, rushing to this distance of the city wall, more than 10,000 people fell, and every time the sound of rattling reeds and bowstrings sounded, the battlefield was bound to be filled with blood, and there was a strange charm in the poignant.
Arrows flew everywhere in the sky, and even the officer who led the charge could accidentally die at the hands of a small soldier, and the coalition soldiers approached the city walls and crossed the moat in such a difficult environment.
Retrograde arrows flew from outside the city, and pairs of archers, protected by chariots, were thrown at the walls of the city in the huge siege vehicles full of feathered arrows.
At the same time, huge and heavy ladders extended from the siege engines, connecting the ground to the city walls.
A water-blue turtle wave qigong shot out in Xia Zuo's hand, but before he could get close to the siege vehicle, he was forced to turn around and shoot into the sky by the five golden fighters who flew out of the crowd.
"Archers stand back, throw and attack!" Brigitte shouted loudly on the other side, "The heavy infantry step forward, prepare to beat these soft-footed shrimp down, don't stop the bed crossbow and catapult, continue to smash me!"
The crazy heavy infantry rushed to the city wall under the leadership of the fighter officer in waves, Xia Zuo attacked the bed car several times, but was surrounded by groups of golden fighters and Beamon had to retreat, Xia Zuo crushed a head that showed his head beside him, and scolded softly in his mouth, "Damn, there are still too few people!"
Not only ordinary soldiers, but also the number of fighters they are too short, if there can be some people to help him delay a little time, it doesn't take a lot of time, just a few breaths, he can completely destroy these siege vehicles, but now the other party is obviously also on guard, each siege vehicle is surrounded by enough fighters, which makes him can only watch these things link the ground and the city wall.
