Volume 1 Threesome Chapter 128 Fire Attack Battle Array
The Bullet Queen's blow vanished under the rainbow array, however, Midi's offensive had only just begun
An army of 50,000 men attacked on a kilometer-long front, and in the early morning, with the sound of loud trumpets and heavy war drums, the heavily armored soldiers would advance to the rainbow city with tower shields, and then the mages hidden behind them would chant incantations in unison, fireballs and thunderbolts.
The Seth Legion still held out, but under the protection of the city walls, they fought back fiercely with all kinds of dazzling magic.
Since the entire battlefield can be said to be located on the demon vein, the magicians on both sides have the opportunity to draw endless magic power, so the two sides are deadlocked, and the confrontation with pure long-range magic has lasted for half a month.
Originally, it was like a bamboo, but now it was stopped here, and the generals of the Golden Branch Legion were a little impatient. They originally thought that after the barracks were built, they could let go of their hands and launch a general attack, but they did not expect that so far, Midi still has not invested a large number of troops, but is still constantly trying.
Many knights with strong blood and strength were a little impatient, and rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army several times to ask Midi to set a date for the general attack, and some generals tactfully lobbied Fina, planning to knock on the side.
However, Midi remained unmoved, and still insisted on the tentative strategy of long-range firepower.
And so, twenty full days passed.
66th year of the Arad calendar, 18th day of the ninth month, night.
In the tent of the Golden Bough Legion, Midi sat quietly, as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating. The only light illuminated his face. Although there had been no major movements these days, he had always been cautious in command, so he would gather all kinds of intelligence every night to consider whether there was anything suspicious about the current situation of the Japanese army and to predict future movements
However, at this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew, and the handsome flag embroidered with three golden lions in front of the big tent was rolled up, waving in the wind.
In the middle of the exhibition, Midi, who was sitting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up: "Command the whole army, the general attack begins."
The sound of drums suddenly shook the earth, and tens of thousands of lights suddenly lit up in the camp where the Golden Branch Legion had been in camp for more than half a month, illuminating the entire Hongguang City in front of it. Heavy infantry in silver iron armor poured out of the camp, countless silver spear tips held high in the air, and the torches were extremely dazzling.
"The north wind is blowing. Fina's voice rang out.
The red-haired girl also stepped out of her tent at this moment and stood beside Midi, quietly watching the camp like an awakened dragon.
When the north wind blows, it is the day of the general attack. This matter, except for Midi, only Fina knows.
Because when the north wind blows, it is the day when the seasons change.
Not only is the Golden Bough Legion located upwind easier to attack, but with this subtle change of season, the flow of the demon veins under Rainbow City will also change, although it is extremely subtle, but for a master of magic power like Fina, it is enough to form a flaw.
Unpopular knowledge like this, even in the great library of the Principality of Belmar, cannot be found in detail. The reason why Midi and Fina know the Tao is naturally due to Alice.
When the Qiugu Mountain Villa was established, due to the importance of the matter, it was naturally impossible to borrow the hands of others, and it was basically the Witch of the Fog who operated it single-handedly, and Midi and Fina worked together, and the three of them took on all the work.
It is precisely because of this that Midi's understanding of the demon veins and magic arrays at this time is much deeper than that of many so-called scholars, and even himself in the previous life, and it is enough to support the strategic layout.
At this moment, the defenders of the Seth family must not know the way at all, the demon veins that have been guarded under their feet for hundreds of years are undergoing slight changes as always, and Midi is actually fighting the idea of breaking the big array.
However, even if they knew the Dao and sensed it, they couldn't change the impact of the seasonal changes on the demon veins at all, and at most they could only make some temporary changes to the Rainbow Light Array itself.
It can be said that Midi's strategy is a dignified and upright conspiracy, and the competition is the level and strength of magic
At this moment, since the flaw has come out, there is no time to waste.
The 8,000 heavy knights of the Golden Bough Legion lined up in front, and dozens of craftsmen behind the formation actually erected a new command tower in a few moments, dozens of meters high. Midi climbed to the top of the tower and looked down at the strong army at his feet, his long white robe swept up by the wind, even more dazzling against the dark night.
Fina had already changed into a military uniform at this moment, her heroic posture was like a Valkyrie descending, the moonlight was like a wash, and the cold light shone on the red hair as beautiful as Belmar's autumn maple, which made people dizzy to see.
The next moment, Fina nodded at Midi and raised her hand to shoot a magic bullet.
The blue light pierced the night sky in an instant, colder than the moonlight, brighter than a meteor, like a sharp sword unsheathed, announcing the beginning of the general attack.
"Victory, victory, victory"
When they saw this magic bullet, the soldiers of the Golden Bough Legion shouted in unison.
And in this surging shout, in front of the forest of layers of swords, the Seth family has already been awakened like a dormant giant beast. There was a faint figure flickering in the arrow eyes on the city wall, and the torches held high at the head of the city illuminated the rainbow city as if it were day, and even the dark night sky was dyed by the firelight.
The north wind is blowing, and the big flags at the head of the city are messy.
Looking at this glittering beast, Midi smiled like a hunter looking at his prey. Then, the command flag in his hand waved down vigorously.
With the sound of uniform steps, the clashing of metal, and the shouts of the soldiers, the iron-like phalanx began to surge forward like a tide, with a terrifying momentum that was about to destroy the entire Rainbow City.
At the forefront were the most elite ironclad spearmen of the Golden Bough Legion, who, under the orders of Midi and the light of Fina's magic bullets, raised the huge spears weighing thirty kilograms and the handles up to six meters long, and then fell down again, each spear pressed against the shoulders of the gunners in front of them, and a dense array of guns was formed. The layers of spear blades created a steel thorn.
Slowly, the phalanx of ironclad spearmen pushed under the city walls.
At the same time, a large number of siege machines that followed finally emerged from the hidden position of the camp, and hundred, two hundred, and even six hundred catapults, like six hundred huge beasts, pushed out of the camp through several exits.
Capable of firing boulders weighing more than 300 kilograms, this 10-meter-tall giant siege machine has a range of more than 300 meters, enough to strike opponents out of range of elementalists, mages, and gunners.
However, because it is located under the city, the range of the trebuchets erected in the rainbow city is still a step lower.
Fortunately, the number of trebuchets secretly erected this time was large, far exceeding the dozens of them in Rainbow City, and once they attacked at the same time, even the city walls with horses and horses would be violently shaken.
As soon as they saw the dense siege machinery spread out under the city, the generals of the Seth family immediately reacted, and the trebuchets on the rainbow city took the lead in attacking. With a heavy whistling sound that tore through the air, dozens of huge stone projectiles cut through arcs and smashed straight into the siege machinery of the Golden Branch
However, at that moment, a corresponding amount of slender light shot out from the Golden Bough camp, hitting all the stone projectiles with such precision that they shattered one by one.
In the end, all that hit the siege machinery was some non-lethal rubble.
This is Fina's attack, the magic bullet of the Magic Bullet Queen, which is obviously not only capable of attacking, but also being used to defend when necessary. Compared to the bulky rainbow light array, her strength was obviously much more flexible.
"Quick, order the bed crossbow to attack too" Seeing that a full six hundred siege machines were about to be put into place, a cold sweat broke out on General Scar's forehead, and he immediately issued an order to put all the firepower on the city with enough range into it.
But it didn't work, and the magic bullets shot by Fina still blocked more than ninety percent of them.
Occasionally, some fish that slip through the net can only destroy a few siege machines, and in the face of such a number, there is almost no suppression effect.
And after three rounds of bombardment in Rainbow City with little effect, the six hundred siege machines that had spent a lot of time secretly building were finally all ready.
"Shoot" the siege battalion general shouted.
With his roar, the grinding of gears came and went, and six hundred siege machines attacked almost at the same time.
The air made a muffled thud like a sack that had been hit, and at the same time, the silent night sky burned for a moment
The firelight broke through the sky, and hundreds of fire balls cut through the dark night, bringing a shining arc and falling towards the head of the Rainbow City.
Fire Attack
Under the impact of hundreds of heavy stone bullets, the walls of Hongguang City trembled slightly. At the same time, when these huge fireballs burst into flames on the city walls, countless black smoke filled the fire fragments, and the smoke had a tear-jerking sulfur smell.
Soon, many of the ranged troops hiding in the corridors inside the city wall were unable to hold their posts because of the black smoke, and they had to withdraw from the city wall one after another. The firepower of the defense was reduced in an instant
It's not just a fire attack, but a fire attack plus smoke and waves.
Fortunately, the defenders did not encounter a similar situation, and they immediately issued strips of cloth soaked in water, told those ranged troops to cover their mouths and noses, and then returned to their posts on the road to continue to hold on.
This time, the effect of the pungent smell was much reduced, but at this time, the Golden Bough Legion had already fired several volleys, not only leaving countless cracks on the city wall, but also the fragments of fire bombs piled up at the foot of the city wall and burned. Thick black smoke rose into the air, carrying the smell of sulfur. The smoke was driven by the north wind and poured into all the arrows on the city wall, but the ranged units with bows and arrows could not see clearly, and could only desperately release arrows and fire magic aimlessly.
Taking advantage of the confusion of the defenders, the phalanx of ironclad spearmen advanced again, and dozens of siege machines adjusted their posture, aiming at the gate of Hongguang City, shooting out one pitch-black package after another in the thick smoke.
Bang bang bang
I only heard the sound of explosions one after another, and the pitch-black packages cracked one after another after hitting the city wall, and the viscous black liquid inside was all stained on the city gate.
The liquid crept as if it were alive, and soon it filled the entire city gate, and then penetrated through the cracks in the gate.
The captain of the hundred, who led the team to support the city gate, sniffed some liquid on the end of his nose, and was immediately shocked: "This is ...... Oil"
