"Your Excellency, General, this idea is very good, but it doesn't work. Don Quillrod, who is said to be over 430 years old, rejects this idea: "The first thing we did when we arrived in the northern snow-capped mountains was to think about how to make use of the natural environment here, but unfortunately, the slope of the snow peaks behind Hamburg is too large, and there will be no snow on them at all, just some 10,000-year-old ice, which is frozen harder than iron, and it is impossible for the ice to fall." ”

"I heard that in the town of Kelesit, the dragons of Daqingshan created an avalanche out of thin air...... "Mora Beast is really a rectum, as the saying goes, you don't hit people in the face, you don't scold people without revealing your shortcomings, how can you talk like this." The three major magisters and the eight archbishops who were defeated by His Excellency Lu'er in one fell swoop all had embarrassed looks on their faces.

"General Mora Beast, we were defeated by His Excellency Daqing Mountain's First Divine Dragon of the Ages, but ...... It's a given. You must know that His Excellency Lu'er is one of the six divine dragon envoys under the seat of the dragon god Pyrot, and the divine dragon envoy is equivalent to the position of the twelve main gods, and the magic of the forbidden spell system released by him is not comparable to that of human mages at all, even the great mage. At the peak of the Magic Empire, it was impossible for the twenty-seven Jedi Grand Elders to join forces to take advantage of the Dragon Envoy...... This is a difference in hierarchy that cannot be solved by manpower. "In order to save face, Don Quillode is indeed a last resort to be so polite to Daqingshan and Lu'er.

"Is it possible to summon a meteor shower?" Mora Beast does not give up, and as a good officer, most of them love soldiers like children.

"Of course not, this kind of large-scale forbidden spell of meteor shower is definitely not something that can be released by a magic master, and it is not our ability to release the meteor shower in the imperial capital before, it is an ancient magic scroll provided by His Majesty Reynolds's family, and we are just going to guide the release. However, if the three of us magic masters join forces, we can have a snowstorm for three days in a row in such a large area as Hamburg City, and this snow can fall in Hamburg City, and there is nothing else at all, I wonder if this will help the siege of the city?"

"Oh, can it go down for a longer time? Won't it completely submerge Hamburg City?" Cardinal Abra hurriedly asked, as the God of Light and other gods intervened their divine power in divine magic, the watershed between the priest and the magic department became wider and wider, and His Excellency the Sage no longer knew much about the other party's abilities.

His Excellency the Ice Magister had a wry smile on his face: "Alas...... Manpower is limited after all, and such a long time is close to the limit of the three of us. ”

"Alright, then there are the three Magisters. Dahaino immediately made a new decision: "First ask the three Magus to snow heavily for two days in a row, use these few days, I will prepare some more siege equipment, and on the third day we will attack the city, and when the time comes, please ask the three Magus to increase the amount of snow and strive to conquer it at one time." ”

"By the way, Your Excellency Marshal, in the face of such a powerful catapult, why don't we drive the civilians of the Redstone Empire to attack the city? I think that if the defenders of the city don't use the catapult, then we can go directly to the city, and if the enemy uses the catapult, it can just consume the enemy's reserve resources. No one could have guessed that such words were uttered by the Holy Abra, and that the words were plain and without the slightest disturbance.

"This ......" Dahaino showed a hint of displeasure on his face: "This is not very good, war is a military business after all, and civilians should not be involved." ”

"But, Your Excellency, you should know that the demon Chi Aotian is driving our people to kill each other on the Sacred Flower Plain, why don't we do that?" the other archbishop, Mulla, also had a bad look on his face.

"It's not something to be proud of when Chi Aotian does this, so there's no need for us to follow his example. "Dahaino felt that it was difficult to speak alone, in the Phanos continent, completely pursuing the law of the jungle, it is normal for the defeated to be slaughtered by the entire race, and it is not surprising that such a thing as driving civilians to attack the city was done by the orcs, how could His Excellency the Bishop of the Holy See also say such irresponsible words?

"Marshal, if we can capture the city of Hamburg as soon as possible, then it is possible that all the remnants of the empire will surrender, and how many innocent people in the Huayu Plain will flee from the sea of suffering......

"Lord Marshal, think more about the soldiers, we may have ten fewer soldiers if we have one more civilian. ”

"Your Excellency, please think again. ”

"The battle of Hamburg is extremely important, and if we lose here, there is a risk of a revolt in the areas that have already been surrendered, and then all around Scambrai may fall into the hands of rebellion. My lord, whether or not to use civilians is very likely to change the outcome of the war. Moreover, we are only using civilians to pass through the area covered by catapults, and the Hamburg defenders will not attack rashly. ”

......

Everyone in the whole tent was talking about all kinds of suggestions, and in the Phanos camp, the clergy had a very high position but did not have the right to lead the army, and no one could take his place as commander unless he was dismissed.

"Alas...... Well, it's up to you. His Excellency the Marshal lowered his head, his white sideburns peeking out from both sides of his helmet, and Merlin and Moramon, the two people who were most familiar with Dahaino, thought of Dahaino's previous words at this moment: The army is just an extension of politics, right? Oh...... The marshal also said something more accurate: under the influence of politics, there is no one in the hands of the so-called soldiers who are not stained with blood. Now it seems that even His Excellency the Marshal had to get blood on his hands.

The snow began to fall at twelve o'clock in the night, which was the heaviest time of the day, and the three magisters erected a triangular barrier with a diameter of 60 meters in the camp, and each of them guarded a corner. "Icy snow, through the dark night, the great spirit from the creation of the world, show your supreme power. ”

Three grandfathers over 1000 years old chant melodious and full of exotic flavors, with the body of the Magister as the core, the green pillar of light rotated clockwise along the enchantment, a small whirlwind blew slightly in the enchantment, snowflakes quietly fell from the air, in just a few breaths, goose feather snow whistled and fell from the air, with this wind and snow, a tall phantom gradually materialized in the enchantment, the green high-level ice elf made a slender and short magic wand appear, as the magic wand slowly drew circles one after another in the air, the blizzard was slowly moved by the invisible force, little by little drifting towards Hamburg City......

It is not uncommon for snow to fall in Hamburg City in summer and January, but it is quite strange to have such a heavy snowfall, and Daqingshan, who was sleeping in his sleep, was awakened by the guards, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Needless to say, there is definitely the shadow of the enemy floating behind this. Immediately afterwards, Daqingshan remembered the meteor shower on the bloody night of the imperial capital and the rebellion of the three demon masters, and asked the guards to quickly inform Gelsu and Lin Yusheng, and the eldest lady of the Lin family ran out without combing her hair smoothly. At this time, the snow was already without the instep of the foot, and it was still desperately falling, and the snowflakes were hitting each other and gluing together in the air, and when they were about to fall to the ground, they were already the size of a fist, and standing in the snow could feel the pain of being constantly smashed by snowflakes.

The three of them looked out along the city road, and Gelsu's face immediately turned extremely pale. The sight distance of the steppe elf is very far, and it can be clearly seen that dozens of meters outside Hamburg City, except for the previous snow, there is no trace of snowflakes falling, and the three of them remembered at the same time that two years ago, on the same dark night on Xilin Island, the large-scale forbidden spell magic released by the Magister Reg and Lu'er teamed up, if it wasn't for the same heavy snow, the small mercenary group would not have been able to withdraw anyway, unexpectedly, karma reciprocated, today, the same forbidden spell magic, but the positions of both sides have changed. Will this heavy snowfall still be as decisive as the last time?

The snow fell like a torrential rain, from late at night until dawn, and Dahaino and the officers and archbishops went twice to inspect the city of Hamburg, where the walls were almost covered with snow, and soldiers could be seen pushing the snow down with basins everywhere......

All the officers had a smile on their faces, and now they didn't expect the heavy snow to really bury the city of Hamburg alive, as long as it remained at this density for two days, the soldiers in the city would have to constantly clear the heavy snow, and this intensity would also make most of the soldiers lose their combat effectiveness. Now it seems that the war in two days may be very easy. And Dahaino still has a trace of selfishness in his heart, just hoping that this snow will be bigger, and if he can really freeze the catapults, perhaps, there will be no need to drive civilians into the war.

The heavy snow fell on the second day, and Dahaino pushed the ballista sent by Reynolds to push it up, and many generals showed excited looks on their faces - Dahaino fought and was always accustomed to leaving reserve forces, and he would never launch the trump card power in his hands until the most critical time, and it seemed that this time, His Excellency the Marshal was really moving.

In the evening, the Phanos army brought more than 4,000 residents from several nearby human towns to the barracks, all the middle-aged men and women in the nearby towns were either drawn by the imperial army or recruited by the Phanos army, or fled to the mountains, all that was left in the town was some old people who couldn't run and looked down on life and death, looking at those extremely ugly orcs, the old people lowered their heads and said nothing, allowing the soldiers from other continents to take them to the city of Hamburg.

Early in the morning of the third day, the Phanos army poured out, even including the strong men brought in earlier. Dahaino has given a clear order -- today, the last battle to conquer the city of Hamburg, all the troops must be mentally prepared to defeat the last man, and anyone who dares to disobey the order will be immediately killed. If all military commanders below the rank of 1,000 commanders are killed in battle or executed by law enforcement teams, they will be replaced by officers of the next rank in order according to the 1123 model.

The so-called 11231 model means that after the supreme commander of a certain army is killed or executed, the first commander of the first team under his command takes over the command, if the commander dies again, the first commander of the second team takes over the command, if all the officers of the lower level die in battle, the first commander of the first team and the first squad takes over the command, and so on.

Prior to this, 11231 had never spoken such an order in the mouth of Marshal Dahaino. Never saying it doesn't mean there is no deterrence, and the icy aura permeates the senior officers.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, 30,000 troops, 5,000 strong men, and more than 4,000 civilians formed five camps under the city of Hamburg.

"Merlin, you command my direct legion to take the lead, first on a team of 1,000 people, every group of 50 people, push small rushing carts, five groups at a time, disperse. ”

"Yes! "Merlin knows that His Excellency the Marshal can not use civilians, and, according to the experience of the last time, if only more than 200 people pass at a time, the enemy may not necessarily use catapults, and if there are fewer flying stones, they will not be able to smash the rushing car, and it will definitely be a waste if there are more flying stones. How to calculate this account, it is estimated that the officers guarding the city will have to weigh it carefully.

More than 20 rushing cars were pushed out from the rear, 800 werewolf soldiers and 200 half-orc soldiers hid under the rushing cars, and the outermost rushing car moved first......

At this moment, suddenly, there was a continuous whistling sound over the walls of Hamburg...... Yes...... The Enemy Launches Catapults So Far Away? The Fanos officers hurriedly looked up, and the sky turned black again -- Countless white stones suddenly appeared over the city of Hamburg, and they looked obviously much larger than the stones launched three days ago.

Most people are still speculating in this way, the huge "stones" have fallen to the ground, and in an instant, the large "stones" have been smashed into countless small "stones", and under the huge inertia, the "stones" are sticking to the ground and flying towards the Fanos army at the speed of the poles.

"Hide! it's ice!" the officer of the Human Thousand Men was the first to discover the secret, yelling at the Fanos Thousand Men who had left their headquarters.

Countless ice cubes like more than four meters high white waves roared towards the rushing car, the ice cubes are constantly getting smaller, but most of the ice cubes are still more than 30 centimeters in diameter, the ice cubes leap to fill the gaps and potholes on the bluestone, the follow-up ice cubes immediately followed, the soldiers under the rushing car have not yet reflected, and were immediately smashed to the ground by the ice cubes from below, and then more ice cubes were slapped down from above, directly engulfing the rushing car.

"Quick, back off!" The Fanos soldier at the front looked at the ice waves more than one person high, and turned his head in fright and ran.

"Raise the shield!" Dahaino took the shield from the guards beside him, pushed them away, and rushed forward.

Merlin raised the war hammer in his hand and led the law enforcement team to cut down dozens of deserters in a row, and the front finally stabilized. In fact, the end of the strong crossbow could not wear Lu Min, and the ice cubes had lost their inertia by flying and rowing five or six white rice.

"You guys are really carving insect skills, Dahaino, and those few imperial rebels, do you expect this little ice and snow to come to conquer Hamburg City? Have you forgotten that the little mercenary group started in the Frozen Continent, and for those of us who grow in ice and snow, what is this little snow? Come on, let me see what more means you have to show you. On the city wall, a black-clothed boy said loudly surrounded by a large number of white-clothed boys: "By the way, by the way, thank you General Dahaino, the ice and snow you sent just let us replenish the catapult flying stones." ”

All the Fanos officers were taken aback. It turns out that the defender of Hamburg City is Daqingshan, no wonder he is so tenacious, he really deserves to be the two founders and the first deputy head of the small mercenary group.

It is a pity that no matter how good the intelligence work of the Western Emperor's side is, it will not be able to let Dahaino and other generals really understand Daqingshan's character, if Renaud should have immediately discovered Daqingshan's abnormality here-with Daqingshan's character, how could he say such a thing.

It is true, the heavy snow for two consecutive days has caused more inconvenience to Hamburg City than everyone expected, after all, not everyone has lived in the frozen continent, in the heavy snow, only the teenagers from the ice and snow continent and the indigenous residents of Hamburg City can really come out to clear the snow, the army from southern Xinjiang and other places cannot act normally in such an environment, if the enemy really wants to attack the city now, it is a very painful thing for the small mercenary group, the two teams of steppe elves and forest elves cannot play normally, and the tall figure of the berserker is even more unstable on the thick ice。 Da Qingshan said this in order to let Dahaino and the others have the illusion of taking down this large-scale magic as soon as possible. Many of the officers of Fanos do have such thoughts, but the three archmages are all in the camp, and it is impossible to inform them now.

The only benefit of ice and snow for Daqingshan is to make countless giant ice cubes to replace the flying stones, the method of making is very simple, use the stones to put out the mold, which is coated with a thick layer of oil, and then pour water into it, and at the same time insert the two ends of a thick rope 40 cm long into the water, two minutes later, the water surface will form an ice shell, 30 minutes later, with the rope by hand, you can take out more than 100 catties of ice cubes from the mold, and then evenly smear the oil, neatly stacked. In two days and one night, the defenders of Hamburg City made more than 20,000 ice cubes, and only more than 4,000 pieces were fired by a burst of random fire just now.

"Pushing 1,000 people out, a team of 1,000 people with 20 ballistas, 10 catapults, and 10 rushing carts marched towards the city of Hamburg. "At such a critical juncture, Dahaino is already involuntary as the supreme commander.

Wrapped in a thick felt blanket, Gelsu looked out at the city wall with his hands, and his face suddenly became solemn: "Deputy commander, the enemy ...... It even pushed the people up like a broken ice port. "The steppe elves know that this deputy head has the best heart, alas...... It's a pity that the mighty catapult in the city of Hamburg.

"Oh, got it. Notify the catapults to stop firing all of them. Daqingshan did not show any surprise on his face, this was already expected, in war, when the generals had to choose between conscience and responsibility, most officers would choose responsibility.

The trembling Phanos and the old men, who had lost their souls by the sheer power of the catapult, rubbed over the death zone created by the catapult, and the Phanos soldiers let out bursts of cheers - everyone could understand the joy of escaping from the afterlife in a certain situation.

Afterwards, groups of soldiers passed through the death zone under the cover of civilians, and eventually, 10 thousand-strong teams pushed most of the siege equipment to the bottom of the city, only 150 meters from the city of Hamburg. More than 200 rushing vehicles formed two defensive formations, and the siege equipment such as catapults and ballistas were all hidden behind the rushing vehicles.

Several officers of the Colorful Dragon Knights on the city wall whispered to each other, and finally confirmed that there were ballistae in the siege weapons pushed below, their faces were already difficult to see, for catapults, they didn't care very much, Hamburg City is such a tall pure stone city wall, the damage that catapults can cause is not great, but, the ballista ...... From the day it was designed, it was designed to deal with the walls that catapults could not destroy.

The two squadron leaders hurriedly ran to Daqingshan's side, and dragged all the commanders of the small mercenary group away from the city wall and horse road before starting to report - this place was absolutely safe, and it was impossible for any flying stones and arrow feathers to shoot in at any angle.

At the same moment, the Phanos legions under the walls suddenly attacked on all fronts.

The two squadron leaders had just mentioned the ballista, and there was no longer any need to describe the power of this perverted siege machine.

40 ballistas were launched at the same time, and 40 large crossbow arrows with 160-bladed metal wings unexpectedly made a roaring sound like a mountain and a sea, and the heavens and the earth changed color. Knock, knock, knock...... The officers and cadres standing behind the city wall felt the city wall tremble for a while, and then, ten crossbow arrows flew from the city head with a roar, and disappeared from people's vision in an instant, and everyone felt a chill all over their bodies!

Yin is wrong and yang is definitely yin and yang, and there is only one target of these ten crossbows - Daqingshan and others at the head of Hamburg City. If it weren't for the two captains of the Colorful Dragon Knights who suddenly came to report, the offensive and defensive battle of Hamburg City might have ended at this moment.

More than 100 catapults were launched at the same time, and countless stones flew in parabolas towards the city of Hamburg.

The soldiers on the walls lay tightly behind the battlements, and the commanders of all ranks in the streets entered the inner city with their troops, and stones rained down, and all the buildings trembled desperately.

"Report, deputy city guard, 5 catapults on the west side of the city wall were destroyed by flying stones!"

"Report, all 12 catapults on the south wall have been destroyed!"

......

The bad news followed one after the other, and in just a few minutes, all the catapults on the three walls were destroyed - the catapults in the city of Hamburg were stationary and could not be moved at all. Fortunately, however, most of the catapults in Hamburg are within the city walls or even on the hill behind Hamburg, which is very difficult for the enemy to destroy.

"Report, deputy commander, the crossbow bolts fired by the enemy have entered the city wall, and the enemy is pulling outward with ropes. A small mercenary member hurried over to report.

Da Qingshan was shocked into a cold sweat, after all, he was not a graduate of a professional knight school, for this kind of large-scale siege king, it was unheard of and unseen, this kind of thing still had such a role?

"Quick! Pour water down the city wall, throw out all the ice blocks used for catapults on the city wall by hand, and throw them all out! Quick!" Da Qingshan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and found the most correct solution in the shortest possible time - this is not how strong Da Qingshan's ability is, on the frozen continent, the two metropolises that Da Qingshan has visited, Snow Plains City and the Ice Fortress, have all adopted this method - pouring water outside the city wall to strengthen the city wall. The adoption of this method also has the advantage of completely preventing the enemy from attacking the city by means of ladders, poles, and other equipment.

In the heavy snowfall, buckets of water flowed down the city wall, and the water, still steaming in the buckets, had already appeared on the wall, and all of them turned into ice mounds after a few meters of flowing.

As soon as the crossbow bolts pulled out a little crack in the city wall under the external force, the ice water covered it layer by layer, and in a very short time, the entire crossbow bolt was submerged under the white cold ice, and the officers on the first line of Fanos were dumbfounded, how could this be pulled? Even if 100,000 people were dispatched, could the entire city wall be pulled down?

The human soldiers in charge of the ballista hurriedly shook the strings of the ballista with iron rods, loaded the bolts, and fired them again, trying to pull the ice apart with new bolts.

However, the attack effect of the ballista is obviously getting worse and worse, and the layer after layer of ice coupled with the bluestone city wall is a typical composite defensive armor, and the effect of defending against crossbow arrows is very good. At the beginning, the crossbow arrows can also penetrate half of the city wall, with the thickening of the ice, the water poured on the city wall will not be so even, some places the ice is thick and some places are thin, the crossbow arrows shoot on the ice, obviously a little slippery, and in the end, there are simply crossbow arrows against the ice to draw a white line and finally lose their strength and fall under the city wall.

What made the Fanos officers even more cold was that the soldiers and mercenaries on the city wall ignored the flying stones flying in the sky, shouting the large ice blocks pushed down, which were slammed down the 30-meter-wide city road and crashed into the rushing car.

Okay, now you don't have to think about how to conquer the walls of Hamburg, let's think about how to climb over this ice wall.

Dahaino and the many archbishops could never have imagined that the painstaking masterpiece of the three magisters would have such an effect, alas...... The idea of being cocooned and bound is not only in one mind, but there are even people with more imagination - the three magisters will not be in Cao Ying's heart in Han, otherwise...... How could he be so dedicated to helping the other party defend the city?

For the Fanos soldiers, bad news continued to fly, and at the same moment, the sky northeast of Hamburg suddenly changed dramatically, and the roar of giant beasts rolled in from afar like continuous thunder.

After a few breaths, five huge dragons leaped out of the thick multicolored clouds like lightning......
