Chapter 33: Is This a Siege?
Soon, the steelback beasts, as the first troops, arrived under the city, but as they had seen before, they had no siege weapons, and there was nothing they could do but snort in front of the walls.
"Are they crazy to come here without siege weapons!?"
On the city wall, the eyes of all the knight captains were about to pop out, because this is not scientific!
"Prepare for the rockfall!"
Leah didn't understand what was going on, but she wasn't in a hurry, she just beckoned the soldiers defending the city to throw huge rocks or spiked wooden stakes down, and under the effect of gravity, the weight falling from such a height as the city wall made a terrifying sound of breaking through the air.
In fact, little Lori prefers to use boiling water, and it is impossible for the steelback beast's mane to resist the attack of the liquid. The reason why he did not do this was not out of mercy, but because to be merciful to his enemies was to be cruel to himself.
The only pity is that Snow Lotus City is too cold, and the boiling water falls from the city wall, and it has to be frozen into ice lumps before it hits the ground.
But even this did not matter, the effect of falling rocks was no worse than boiling water, and the sound of tooth-aching bones breaking was remembered at the foot of the castle, and it was continuous.
"Archers!Ready!"
Immediately afterward, Lori beckoned the archers to take aim, as the steelbacks, gnolls, and centaurs rushed in.
These are the targets that the archers will have to deal with.
"Arrows - !!"
Little Lori's voice was thin and soft, but it was so terrible to the ears of the centaurs and jackals in the city, because they saw countless arrows pouring down from the walls.
This time the situation was not one-sided, because the centaurs were excellent marksmen, and their eyesight at night was better than that of humans, so the dense rain of arrows also fought back.
Little Lori even saw a few archers beside her let out a scream, and then fell to the ground, and the tails of several feathered arrows in their chests were even trembling.
So in an instant, the city wall became a dangerous area, and even little Lori was in danger of being attacked by the enemy.
Although it is common sense to attack the commander first, especially when the commander's combat power does not look very good, but Leah is rarely attacked by arrows, for no other reason, at a glance, who would have thought that one of the countless people standing on the city wall would be the commander!?
Leah didn't even hold up a magic shield, because just as an arrow struck her, a halberd simply slashed it in two.
"Please don't worry about the arrows, my lord, I promise you with my life that as long as I am here, you will be as safe on the walls as you are at home!"
It was Date who spoke, and we don't know if his opinion of the supreme ruler of Snow Lotus City had changed after being taught a lesson by Kalian. But one thing is certain, that is, although before this, he also doubted that Leah was capable of commanding the battle, but because, from the beginning of the battle to the present, Leah's command could not find anything wrong at all, so he decided to be a good subordinate who followed orders.
Nodding to the other party in thanks, Leah turned her attention to the battlefield again, not worrying about the arrows that might fly, and little Lori's thoughts became much more active.
The current battle situation can be said to be completely one-sided, the steelback beasts and gnolls cannot rush into the city, although the centaurs can compete with the archers, but they shoot down from the walls on one side and shoot up from the walls on the other, and they know which side will win with their feet.
So the key now is the troops that have not yet been dispatched - werewolves!
Sure enough, when the offensive on both sides began to exhaust slightly, a wolf howl sounded, and 200 werewolves were killed!
They were so swift and fierce that the arrows of the archers could barely stop their advance.
"Use the steelback and other orcs to consume the strength of the archers and the #sex novel of the city wallshttp://wWw./class12/1.html the defenses, and then take the opportunity to go out?good idea...... But...... It's so sweet!"
Seeing the appearance of the other party, Leah not only did not panic, but also showed a smile.
"Artillery-Preparation-!!"
With Lori's shout, several towers on the walls of the outer fortress lit up with sparks, which were not arrow towers used for archery, because the archers were on the walls. There were no arrows in the towers, but there were - several cannons!
It's not that the continent of Evette is devoid of hot weapons, but they have not succeeded in eliminating cold weapons in the long-term competition for equipment.
There are two reasons for this:
First, the gunpowder on the continent of Ivette is not made by the same method as on Earth, but is made by alchemy of a potion called gunpowder herb, so the yield is not too ideal.
Second, and most importantly, they failed to surpass weapons such as bows and arrows in terms of power. This is not surprising, placed on Earth, I am afraid that the power of a sniper rifle can throw a bow and arrow for miles. But here, the arrows fired by a magic bow made of dragon tendons and the fighting spirit are afraid that the power can catch up with the missile. Even the weapons in the hands of these third-level archers are far more powerful than the bows and arrows on the earth, and these things are made by using the tendons of the third-level demonic beasts to cooperate with complex processes.
Therefore, although thermal weapons exist, they are not as well developed as on the earth, and they are still at a relatively old age - breech guns and flintlock guns.
The latter is not mentioned, because the power is not much better than the bow and arrow, so there is no musket team in Snow Lotus City. However, breech guns do, and when filled with gunpowder, these weapons have better range lethality than bows and arrows, and can be used to siege cities, so they are popular in the army.
"Cannon !!"
As the so-called Lori roared, the city wall trembled.
All right...... Of course, little Lori doesn't have a lion's roar, and it is a few cannons that make the city wall vibrate.
I saw that in the huge roar, several dazzling sparks exploded among the werewolves.
In an instant, countless werewolves flew up because of the impact.
However, to Leah's regret, most of the werewolves flying in mid-air landed firmly on the ground.
This is an otherworldly, with magic and vindictiveness. Except for a few poor worms who were shot in the eye, the rest of the werewolves actually withstood the baptism of this cannon with only their bodies.
"My lord, these cannonballs can't hurt werewolves. ”
A knight captain walked up and spoke.
"Yes, I saw that. ”
Leah bit her lip unwillingly, to be honest, the invincibility of firearms on the planet made her a little too optimistic about these breech guns. But in fact, they didn't play a role in reshuffling the tide of the war on Earth.
"Tune in the artillery! Bombard the centaurs in the distance!"
She gave a new order to the gunner, werewolves are like human knights, in Leah's opinion, if you can't clean up the high-level soldiers, you can always clean up the low-level soldiers.
As for the rest of the senior soldiers...... Little Lori turned around, looked at the knight captains beside her and said, "Gentlemen, go down and form a team, and after a while, we will open the city gate and charge at them!"
"Charge, but let me ask, why do you want to do that?"
In the war, subordinates are not allowed to question the chief, but Xiao Lori's words made the knight captains have to doubt, although the current situation is not a big victory, but it is still an absolute advantage, not to mention that the other party does not bring siege weapons, this is clearly to send, as long as you wait patiently for the other party to retreat.
"Gentlemen, before you ask this question, allow me to ask you, what kind of battle is this in your eyes?"
Leah didn't answer the other party, she just asked calmly.
"Defend the city, my lord. ”
"Wrong! I'm going to say you're wrong, gentlemen......!
Leah shook her head as she raised her staff, and she used illumination.
A dazzling light burst out from the city walls, and then, as if as a signal, behind the orc army, the trumpet of the human army was heard-!!
"Ah...... That's Lord Kalian!!"
The knights on the walls began to tremble as they saw that Kalian, who had not been here from the beginning, had led a large number of infantry out of the forest and struck the rear of the enemy.
This was the idea that Leah and Karen came up with, the so-called siege battle was just to repel the enemy, but at this time Karene did not do this, she had led her troops around the enemy's rear long before this, and now intercepted the enemy's rear.
"Knights, Sister Karen, is there, fighting bloody battles with the orcs. Do you want to stand here and watch a battle of defense, or do you want to mount your horse and charge them for a beautiful battle of annihilation!?"
Waving her hand in the direction of Karen and the others, Leah asked loudly.
"Annihilation!"
If the captains are still indifferent to this, then Leah can only say that Karen is looking at the wrong person. But in fact, Kalian's vision was very accurate, and it hardly took much time to say anything, and Leah was satisfied to find that the eyes of these people in front of her burst out with sparks, and these knights were like gunpowder, as long as there was a spark, they would explode.
"Ah...... The real culprit on Sister Karen's side...... Listen, the sound of slashing reaches the walls...... I didn't hear what you just said......"
However, Leah is not satisfied, she wants to completely ignite the fighting spirit of these people. So she put on a look of listening to the distance, indifferent to the decisions of the knights around her.
As a result, the powder keg exploded completely.
"Annihilate the orcs - !! for the honor of the knights - !! for Randall - !!"
This time, the shouts of those knights even used a fighting spirit, so loud that the werewolves who were running raised their heads in shock.
And the effect is not only that, the knights under the city are in a shock, and they spontaneously organize a team under the leadership of the captains of each squad and prepare to fight to the death. On the other side of the city, Karen reaped the lives of the orcs while revealing an imperceptible smile.
"Ahh
In addition to these effects, the shouts of the knights also played an unexpected role, that is, to make the poor little Lori make a cute head squat. The reason is very simple, since the sound can travel so far, Leah, who is standing next to her, is naturally the first victim, and for a while, her three-semi-regular strict zhòng was frustrated, and Lori was dizzy......
Finally, Leah, whose head finally stopped spinning, raised her head slightly weakly, and found that the knights around her all looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
"Woo~~~ If you want to laugh, laugh at it...... But if you've laughed enough, give me the whole team, or I'll kick you off the walls!"
Standing up and looking at the people around him with a resentful expression, Leah said depressedly.
As a result, the knights laughed and flew down the wall.
After seeing the knights leaving, Leah first glanced depressedly at the archers around her, who were also snickering and looking at her, and then shouted, "Look at everything!
All right...... The knights ran, and the archers were out of luck...... That's it
