Chapter 183: Breaking the City (1)
While the hornhoofed warriors panicked by the sudden change, the shamans sensed the movement on the north wall almost simultaneously;
The enemy did not choose to break into the city from the ground, as they expected, but instead chose to destroy the city wall by another method that looked like a spell, but did not show corresponding fluctuations in the detection of the ancestral spirit.
And this is also the reason why they did not detect the small movements of the witch doctors in time.
As a result of this sudden situation, the previous multiple-choice questions no longer had options, and the shamans had to divert their efforts from the south wall to the maintenance of the north wall.
Although the shamans have been led by the troll army because of the disparity in hard power between the warriors, their intervention was indeed effective, and this time, as they had done several times before, they contained the destruction of the wall in time.
But maintaining the north wall made it even more difficult for them to maintain the south wall.....
Although the growth of dragon bone wood does not seem to be as impactful as when a boulder falls, its ability to cause damage is really not to be underestimated.
Its instantaneous strength may be inferior to that of a trebuchet projectile, but the constant growth tendency will continue to maintain the pressure it exerts on the wall;
Moreover, this pressure will continue to stack up as the tree grows, accumulating a terrifying value.
For this reason, a tug-of-war appeared on the wall, and the cracks on it appeared and disappeared, disappeared and appeared, and so on for the next few minutes, and gradually gave the witch doctors the upper hand.
However, when the shamans finally discovered that it was the 'wood' that caused the damage, they changed their minds in time and no longer focused all their energy on repairing and reinforcing the wall.
The shamans quickly distracted themselves from their efforts, maintaining their influence on the walls while they began to use high-temperature flames to quickly destroy them.
But it was this tug-of-war that lasted for several minutes that allowed the fangs waiting in the south to seize the opportunity.....
Tons of projectiles still occasionally hit the south wall, and the damage caused by the shamans was extremely limited and would quickly disappear;
But at this point, Greattooth saw the change he longed for;
A projectile suddenly broke through the city wall, stuck in the hole it had created, and staggered for a long time before falling due to its own weight.
The huge crater that finally appeared on the city wall, and the obvious slowdown in the closing speed, were really reflected in the eyes of the giant fang.
"All giant trebuchets!
Towards Β·Β·Β· ToΒ·Β·Β· Area Projection!
β
"All army ready!
The city wall ahead of the target!
οΌ Advance!
οΌ β
Although the transmission of orders actually needs to be conveyed by the flag officers through their own special totems, the giant tooth still roared excitedly;
After that, he calmed down and commanded alone,
"In addition.... Summoned the order to ascend to the flag officer first, let them.. This, this, that, that.... Do you understand? β
"Understood!"
The order was quickly relayed to all sides, a loud bang came from behind, and then twenty-one large concrete projectiles slashed through the air, roaring and crashing into the walls in the codezone.
The earth trembled, the walls crumbled, and the two sides of the battle on the walls fell to their own hands because of the heavy bombardment of the concentration.
Especially the trolls who ascended first, they were angry with the orders conveyed by their respective flag officers at this time, but they had to follow the orders to find a suitable place and prop up their shields for some kind of preparation.
One, two, three.... The trebuchets continued to attack, and the shamans' attention had returned, but the great damage that had occurred in a short period of time made their remedies meaningless.
When the fourth roar was over, there was still a wall in front of the marching army of trolls, and the entire section of the wall had collapsed into ruins at a length of about fifty meters.
The ruins were full of wailing, most of them belonging to the trolls who had gone first, and the voices of the horned hoofs were almost none;
Their bodies are not as tough as those of trolls, and the great chiefs, clan chiefs, unfolded.... Let's call it 'field' for the time being;
The realm they had unfolded completely failed at the moment when the wall shattered, and the flesh of both sides was immediately restored to its original state, the strong always strong, and the weak always weak;
So, when all the external forces disappeared, almost all the trolls who were strong and prepared after receiving the order succeeded in surviving;
Although they were embarrassed, they were now struggling to lift the gravel pressed on their huge shield, and stood on the ruins again.
"Giant Fang!
You don't have to die well!
οΌ Damn trash, you almost killed us!
οΌ β
Even if they had prepared in advance, the feeling when the city wall collapsed before was definitely not easy, and these trolls were not lightly angry.
However, although the surviving pioneers cursed in their mouths, they also picked up the stones or weapons at hand, resisted the urge to smash the commander's head, and easily mended the remaining horn hooves in the ruins.
Not far from the ruins, the army of trolls had begun to run forward;
As they ran, they drew their spears from behind and threw them into the city, killing and wounding the stunned horned hoofed remnants behind the walls.
Soon after, the firing elements of the counterweight trebuchet were adjusted again, and one huge projectile after another took off, aiming directly at the city;
Whether it is a house or any other building, it will be the target of their destruction in this round.
The rest of the small and medium-sized catapults are slowly moving forward under the power of the trolls and moose, ready to extend their 'ballistics' after reaching close range.
The ballista was a little more unrestrained, with a troll driving and a troll reloading, using the elevation angle to get past his own people in front of him, throwing overweight spears into the city, and following the army along the relatively smooth road outside the city.
~~~~~~
Earlier, in the southern city, the majestic fire began to burn from the bottom of the city walls, and the flames could be seen clearly even outside the city.
In this way, the pressure of 'consumption' shifts to the side of the witch doctors;
Dragonbones are inferior to the flames, requiring them to expend more stamina to keep them alive.
"Fire attack.... Then give up, the backup plan is ready, Daba! Get ready!
β
Obviously, the witch doctors didn't intend to spend all their stamina on 'maintenance', and they couldn't compete with the shamans for persistence, so the initial backup plan came into play.....
After receiving the instructions of the witch doctors, Daba led more than 500 cavalry to lead the moose, pulling the reins and slowly stepping into the cave.
And as the witch doctors selectively abandon the dragon bone wood, the flames under the walls begin to gradually extinguish;
The keel wood that has lost its magic support quickly carbonizes and no longer has the ability to destroy walls.
The cracks in the city wall were gradually filled under the force of the shamans, and the hundred-meter wall section was quickly restored to its original appearance.
The hornhoofers, who had been a little farther away from the fire, breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously thinking that the shaman's 'danger of the north wall' had been dissipated, and thus relaxed for the time being.
And in this situation, Daba and the cavalry were approaching the great hollow under the wall, which was blocked by keel wood coke.... to the bottom.
Not all of what the witch doctors had planted before was actually keel wood, and a small amount of it was steel wood;
Even if these steel woods were spawned by witch doctors, due to the differences in internal structure, their growth rate could not be as fast as that of dragon bone wood;
So far, they have barely formed a hollow curved column that is not too thick, blocking the ground further below the wall;
On the opposite side, separated by a thin layer of soil, is within the walls of Toulon......
~~~~~~
'Dongdong! β
'Dongdong!
β
An inexplicable vibration came from the ground, and even the horned hoofers, who were mentally ready to return to the south wall, involuntarily turned their heads and looked in a certain direction.
'Rustle..."
In the sound of sand breaking from far and near, drops of cold sweat emerged from the forehead of the horned hoof, and slipped down in silence;
'Poof! β
Suddenly, a bright coffee-colored cone, which looked metallic and had the characteristics of wood, burst out of the ground in front of it, and appeared in the sight of all the horned hoofs.
'Poof! Poof! Poof! β
One, two, three came out one after another, and then the whole ground suddenly collapsed....
Inside of it were a pair of hideous eyes full of blue bloodshots;
And in the darkness, an array of bipedal and four-legged monsters stretched diagonally backwards for an unknown distance.
"Hey~ Dwarf bastards, are you ready for death!
β
With a sound of tapping, Daba led his tall moose along the slope and slowly left the cave and stepped onto the land in front of the hornhoof.
Behind him, a half-armored troll warrior with a bloodthirsty thirst also emerged in a column of five, leading their respective moose mounts.
"Attack!
Offensive!
οΌ Plug them up!
οΌ β
Several clan chiefs, as well as the sons of the chiefs on this side, reacted unpleasantly, and in the fear and panic of their own warriors, they led the elite to charge towards the entrance of the cave, hoping to stop more trolls from appearing.
During the charge, the 'great nobles' at the head removed from their backs a thick wooden stake similar in appearance to the chief but looked a size smaller, and smashed it heavily to the ground;
The intricate lines spread from the five points where they were, connecting each other to form a 'gain and debuff zone' of tens of square meters."
This change was noticed by the hornhoofs and the trolls, the former raising a slight hint of fighting spirit, while the latter recklessly turned over the deer and charged with the last bit of space.
"Crumbs!
Even so! I'm going to be far stronger than you!
β
Daba roared wildly, and through a simple pre-action, he 'lit up' the totem on his body, lifted his heavy long weapon composed of two axe tails spliced together, clamped the deer's belly and began to charge.
