Chapter 678: The First Battle of Magic
On the aerial platform of Shenlong Pass, Mu Sen lowered his scope and said to the heralds: "Order the trebuchet to launch and destroy the enemy's shield array." ”
As the herald kept waving the small flag, the officers of the trebuchet unit who had been waiting for a long time had their eyes lit up, and when the flag was over, they ordered loudly: "All trebuchets are ready, the range is 300 meters outside the city, the direction is just ahead, release!" When the officer's order was given, the trebuchet, which had adjusted the shooting angle, threw the two-meter-diameter cobblestones out of the city one by one, and landed in the enemy's shield array with amazing momentum.
Although the shield array has a good defensive effect against feathered arrows and crossbow arrows, they are powerless to resist when encountering boulders fired by trebuchets.
When the heavy boulders smashed into the shield array, the heavy shield hands that were smashed were all crushed into meat pies by the heavy boulders without exception, and the shield array that had no gaps was smashed into thousands of holes. And that's not all, these round boulders did not stop after they landed, but continued to roll down the mountain under the action of the force, and everywhere they passed, there was a wail and blood splashed everywhere they went.
The ballista troops and archers on the seashore side also took advantage of the confusion of the enemy to shoot continuously, and brought down the enemy who had already rushed to the city wall not far away.
However, there were too many enemies, and under the intensive blow of arrows and crossbow arrows, many people still rushed under the city walls. The soldiers who rushed to the city wall did not rush to erect ladders, but squatted and tried to dodge the spears dropped from the city, dragging the corpses of their own soldiers under the city wall to the shooting ports of the ballista and piling them into a small hill, blocking those shooting ports little by little.
Newman breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the enemy's ballistae firing freely, and if he allowed these ballistas to attack at will, even if he had more troops, he would not be able to kill them.
When the ballista on the seashore was silent, without the officer's order, the soldiers rushed forward with their shields in their hands, he was suppressed for so long, the unwillingness and anger in his heart had reached the extreme, and now they just wanted to rush over and fight the enemy with real swords and guns.
Look at the two military flags that have disappeared. Newman felt very uncomfortable, in just half an hour, the four thousand soldiers of the two field regiments were gone, but Newman had nothing to complain about, because this was war.
Newman shouted orders for his troops to rush forward, because he had seen that Doyle and Dunbar, the two magicians, had approached the walls of the Dragon Pass, Newman looked at the aerial platform and smiled coldly, and muttered to himself, "You won't be proud for long, I want you to show you how good I am." ”
Doyle and Dunbar, wearing magical shields, kept approaching the walls under the protection of a group of guards. But what they didn't know was that the enemy had noticed it when they left Newman, and they were ready to attack them when they could unleash their magic.
Doyle and Dunbar trotted all the way, and when they came to a distance of about eight hundred meters from the city wall, they stopped, and after the two looked at each other, Doyle said, "Just in case, I will attack, and you will defend." ”
Dunbar said disdainfully, "Don't be so exaggerated, right? With the strength of the two of us, we still need to be afraid of each other's junior magicians?"
Doyle shook his head and said, "I don't know how many magicians there are on the other side. Let's be careful. ”
Dunbar pointed to the wall in front of him and said, "Look at it, there are ordinary soldiers on it, and there are no magicians at all. ”
Doyle pouted and said, "How do you know there are no magicians on the walls?"
Dunbar said confidently, "Do you see a magic shield on it?"
Doyle said disdainfully, "Who said that magicians must turn on the magic shield, if they don't release the magic shield." What if we take advantage of the time we release the magic to make a sneak attack?"
Dunbar said firmly: "Impossible, in such a chaotic battlefield, that magician dares to go to the front line without releasing the magic shield?" Doyle would never dare to do that.
Seeing that Doyle was speechless, Dunbar said with a smug face: "Hehe, you will attack the city gate tower in a while." I'll see if I can smash the gates. Doyle couldn't convince Dunbar, so he nodded in agreement.
Under the protection of the guards, Doyle and Dunbar picked up their magic wands and began to chant incantations, and the two of them were worthy of magicians, and it only took a short time for each to release the magic that they knew so well.
When he finished chanting, a large cloud of fire appeared in the sky above the gate tower of Shenlong Pass, and judging by its momentum and area, it was more powerful than the fire rain technique released by Wang Yong.
When he finished chanting and waved his magic staff, three cyan wind blades came out of his hand, passing over the heads of his own soldiers and heading straight for the shining metallic city gate, and the three wind blades were constantly getting bigger in the process of flying, and they had become more than one person tall when they were less than three hundred meters away from the city gate.
After Doyle and Dunbar released their respective magic under the admiring gaze of the guards, before they could be proud, they only felt a sense of danger again, and the two did not hesitate to pour a large amount of magic into the magic shield to improve the shield's defense.
Six silver bolts of lightning fell at lightning speed, striking Doyle and Dunbar's blue magic shields respectively, blasting their shields into a moment of collapse.
Doyle and Dunbar were taken aback, if it weren't for the strength of their quick reflexes and experienced magic shields, the two of them would definitely die on the spot. Before the two of them could look up for the sneak attacker, the eyes of the two of them widened, because two magic bolts, one yellow and one white, flew out of the cliffs on the left and right sides of the city wall, and they collided with the magic they unleashed.
The fire clouds gathered on the castle tower were shrouded in a dazzling white light, and after a rumbling sound, the fire cloud that had been tumbling gradually dissipated, and the white light disappeared with it.
And Dunbar's three wind blades were not spared, and before the huge wind blades flew to the city gate, five tall and thick earthen walls instantly rose from the ground and blocked the front of the wind blades. The wind blade slammed into the earthen wall, and after three dull collisions and a flash of dazzling elemental light, Dunbar's wind blade disappeared, but there were still two remaining in front of the earthen wall.
Dunbar and Doyle were shocked to see that their magic was easily defeated, and they looked at the place where they had just shot their magic, but when they saw two magicians with azure magic shields standing at the mouth of the cave in the cliff, even though they were already prepared, they still looked incredulous when they saw it with their own eyes.
