Chapter 1064: The First Battle

Arrows flew in the air, sporadically lit up with a few magical flames. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info When the two 10,000-strong teams approached, both armies seemed to be very restrained, just testing each other. Whether on the city walls or in front of the array of 10,000 people, there was a thick magical shield. Sure enough, those arrows and magic couldn't break through such a magic shield at all, and the casualties on both sides were negligible.

It wasn't until they got into range of the catapult and the bed crossbow that they really joined the fierce battle. At the sound of the order, huge stone bullets and crossbow guns were fired into the demon array, rolling up the sky full of flesh and blood, clearing all the passages, and immediately bringing great casualties.

This section is the death distance, and due to the high position, the human coalition forces defending the city have an advantage in range. And this period of time is a test of the demons, just being beaten can't be messed up, and you have to cover your siege equipment into the firing range.

The demon forces are worthy of being elite, and they continue to hold magic shields, trying to weaken the power of stone bullets and crossbow guns. Moreover, the back row is added to the gap to ensure the tightness of the formation. And also erected several shield walls, and stepped up to rush to the city wall. Under the cover of the troops in the front row, siege equipment such as catapults in the back row also began to be installed......

Very regular siege steps, everything is under your own control. There was no need for Dipu's order at all, and the catapults and bed crossbows on the city walls began to split into two groups, one group continued to bombard the demon array, and one group began to strike at the catapults and bed crossbows below. Although the demons' movements are very fast, there are still a lot of siege engines that have been destroyed. And the demons finally began to fight back, and under the cover of the shield wall, the demons in the back row began to shoot arrows and release magic on the city wall.

However, there is a magic shield at the edge of the wall, so such an attack is not lethal. But the purpose of the demons is not to kill, they use this kind of shooting to interfere and reduce the accuracy of the human alliance.

Under the cover of the magic shield, Dipu looked at the demon soldiers below. I don't feel pressure at all, as if it's a one-sided hunt. Although the accuracy of catapults and other items has been reduced, the number is sufficient, and it still brings pieces of damage to the demons. But at this moment, Dipu's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt danger. He subconsciously tilted his head, "Whoosh!" An arrow flew past the bridge of his nose.

"Grass!" Dipu cursed in his heart, and hurriedly hid behind the battlement, and at that moment, he heard screams around him. There were many high-level archers of the demon clan hiding among the archers, and they began to burst cold arrows, broke through the magic shield, and "named" the soldiers who operated the city's defense equipment one by one.

"Shieldman, cover—!" shouted the officer commanding the fortifications. But as soon as he finished shouting, an arrow flew silently and went straight into his throat.

"Lie down!" Dipu was even more startled. That officer's strength is not bad, and the archer who can break through the magic shield and the officer's fighting spirit defense is likely to have the strength of a sage. However, before the sacrifice, the officer's order was timely. The shield bearers, who were still a little idle, all protected the operating soldiers, just enough to resist the second round of fire from the demons.

At this time, the most threatening were the archers, so the operating soldiers invariably aimed at the near end and began to fire back. The sudden loss of command caused chaos in the human coalition forces, and for the time being, they became independent. In this way, the demons who installed siege equipment at the far end finally had a chance to breathe.

"Whew!" a magic package was thrown, touching the magic shield on the city wall, and there was a violent explosion. The shield was blown through a hole, and a raging flame of magic rushed through the hole. Although the magic shield gradually regained its integrity with the replenishment of magical power, this magic light exploded in a fan, blowing away all the soldiers who were about ten paces away, and even the chain of a nearby catapult was broken. The catapult was temporarily unusable, and the soldiers who operated it hurried to take out the spare chain rope and install it, hoping to repair it as soon as possible. With the magic wrapping, the demon's siege equipment also began to shoot in turn.

Fortunately, the officer who was in charge of the substitute command was quickly in place, and under his command, it was quickly restored to normal. But the critical moment has passed, and now it is beginning to be a matter of back and forth, and the long-range attacks on both sides have immediately reached a fever pitch.

......

More and more equipment was damaged on the city walls, and casualties began to increase gradually. Such a stalemate is quite unfavorable to the human alliance. In particular, Dipu also found that the rear of the demons was constantly transporting parts, constantly assembling siege equipment, and even a few siege towers were slowly pushing forward.

Means had to be used. Dipu scolded secretly, he didn't expect to use the Burst Arrow so early. He motioned to Kui, who was hiding behind the wall: "It's your turn!

Today Kai is led by a thousand archers from the Blackeye Collar. They climbed the wall in groups and quickly formed three rows. Finding that there were two places behind the shield wall on the right that were still shooting cold arrows, Kai pointed with his sword in both hands: "Shoot-!"

More than three hundred burst arrows flew in that direction, and there were more than two dozen intermediate burst arrows mixed in with them. A series of explosions sounded, the shield wall and magic shield were torn to pieces, a group of people turned on their backs, and the demons lay down in a large piece.

Spotting that a demon clan was fleeing in a hurry to the rear, Kai glanced at it, no longer caring about that direction, and then pointed to a new location: "Shoot-!"

After a few rounds, the area where the cold arrows were cast was basically cleared, and all the siege equipment was gone, and the siege equipment was concentrated on firing. The tide began to turn around, gradually breaking the balance, and the human coalition once again gained the upper hand. Finding that the formation of the 10,000-strong team had been completely dispersed, Kai did not like to fight, and immediately led his archers to evacuate, and the archers who were originally on the city wall also began to shoot arrows one after another. Now that there is no shield wall and magic shield to protect it, those ordinary bows and arrows have also suffered a lot of damage.

Seeing that this round of offensive has come to an end, the siege equipment of the demon clan was destroyed one by one, and the two 10,000 people were running back in a scattered formation. At this time, it is impossible for the demon siege tower to step forward again, otherwise it will be completely a target under the fire.

Dipu breathed a sigh of relief, but still a little regretful. This time, his own personal guard troops only brought 50,000 burst arrows, which sounds like a lot of them, but even the few rounds just now, nearly 2,000 have been used. You know, this is still the beginning of the battle. It is more satisfying that the current soldiers are almost all the original defense troops, not Dipu's personal guards, so his own troops have almost no casualties. If this continues, it will be easy to defend the western wall. (To be continued.) )
