Chapter 18 Bald and Strong
The artillerymen used torches to ignite the stone bombs, and then a group of five pulled the rope, and suddenly one after another fireballs roared out of the air, piercing the sky with billowing smoke!
"Watch out for the fireball!"
"Don't panic, stabilize the formation!"
On the city wall, after seeing so many fireballs shot by the trebuchet at once, the defenders inevitably rioted.
Fortunately, the city lords are also experienced, and they have their own knights from the capital as the supervisor team.
When encountering those who disturbed the morale of the army, they went up and took them away with a knife, and the disturbance was quickly appeased.
It's just that the arrival of the fireball is a fact that they are powerless to stop.
boom! Boom!
The fireball is a stone bullet smeared with correction fluid. It is okay to say that it hits the wall, but it leaves cracks like a spider web and a scorched black, but the one that falls into the defenders is terrible.
The flames fell on the soldiers and spread all over the body immediately, and the fireballs rolled and were larger than ordinary people. Under the impact, one fireball could kill and injure more than ten people.
For the unlucky defenders, sometimes a fireball just happened to sweep over when the squad lined up.
Immediately, the entire 12-member squad was wiped out, which would happen from time to time, which greatly affected the morale of the defenders.
"Counterattack! Come back!"
The officers and soldiers of Rongtie Fort suffered two waves of fireballs and shouted and cursed one after another.
The artillerymen in the bunker were crying, looking at their leader in bewilderment.
The artillery commander was an old officer in his fifties. He bit his thin lip and insisted not to fight back.
"The distance is too far!" The artillery commander sighed distressedly: "The range of the ballista is only 800 meters, counterattack is just a waste of ammunition, and it also exposed our attack position."
"Then you can't just do nothing!" A tall red-haired knight strode up behind the artillery commander.
"It's Sir Mitt, the leader of the knight order!" Seeing the red-haired knight, the artillerymen leaned back one after another.
"The morale of the army on the city wall will be hit very hard if you only get beaten and don't fight back." The head of the Knights of Mit hurried to the artillery commander and took out a dark red seal.
"The wonder of the world... the seal of the Lord of the Wind." The head of the Knights of Mit said: "It can give all objects the power of the wind and reduce the resistance when flying."
"This is that rare item in the world! I didn't expect that the Lord of the City would be willing to take it out." The artillery commander was a veteran, and he couldn't help recalling the seal when he saw this seal.
"No, this is not the owner of the city." Knight Mitt shook his head: "This world wonder belongs to the Grand Duke Yanan, and this time the Grand Duke asked me to bring it to help."
"So that's the case, did the city lord even give away the family's rare objects in order to beg for surrender?" The artillery commander couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard the truth.
He had a feeling of being betrayed by his master lingering in his heart.
Knight Mitt patted the ballista next to him: "Use the power of the Lord of Wind's seal to fight back quickly."
"But Master Knights of Mitt." The artillery commander hesitated and decided to perform his duties: "Even with the power of the world's wonders, the range is still not enough!"
"It doesn't matter, hurry up and shoot!"
The Mitt knight ordered in dissatisfaction, and the artillery commander had no choice but to order it to be executed.
Soon, when the fifth wave of fireballs flew into the sky, the ballista of Rong Iron Fort counterattacked.
The crossbow arrows with a light red air mask pierced through the air at a faster speed than usual, and the trajectory they passed caused cheers from the officers and soldiers on the city wall.
Puff!
The crossbow arrow traveled more than 1,200 meters before falling to the ground and piercing into the soil.
In addition to boosting morale, the ballista did nothing as the artillery commander said.
As a result, the conceited Knight of Mitt's face became a little unnaturally tense, but he still ordered to shoot, and continued to use the strange object in his hand to strengthen the ballista.
"Yo! This distance... Well, it matches the rumors!" Seeing the performance of the crossbow arrow, and noticing the faint red light, Xiao Yu rubbed his chin and his eyes flickered:
"This is the effect of the world's wonders. This is not a one-time consumption type. Once I occupy this city, I can take this thing as my own!"
"But... before that, let's clear the way for my army!"
Xiao Yu took out the moon-chasing crossbow, and shot crossbow arrows at the strongholds where the crossbows were located on the city wall.
bump!
Compared with the same kind that only flew 1,200 meters with the blessing of world wonders, the moon chasing crossbow easily flew over 1,500 meters and smashed through the bunker, knocking out the ballista and officers and soldiers inside Scattered in the air.
Just like this, one arrow at a time, the ballistas on the city wall quickly misfired collectively.
The Knight of Mitt, who had just used up his seal energy to leave a bunker, felt a piercing sound coming from the air, and the wind pressure even affected his figure, so he couldn't help but grasp the city and turn around.
Suddenly he was shocked to find that the fortress behind him had been smashed into ruins, and ballistas and other objects were scattered in the air.
Moreover, the black shadow that crashed the fort still crashed into the city lord's mansion, cutting off a corner of the mansion.
"Not good!" Looking at the ruins, Knight Mitt's face changed, and for the first time he regretted his arrogance.
"Those rebels are about to start a general offensive!"
Unexpectedly, the enemy was so terrifying, and the Mitt knight, who easily wiped out the strongest ballista defense system in the city defense system, had already guessed the future.
Sure enough, General Babu, who was very sensitive to the situation on the battlefield, waved his arm, and the guards immediately dispersed and gave orders.
A few, barbarian dead soldiers wearing Kekou armor and holding Pepsi shields took the lead, rushing out holding a ladder and screaming.
The rest of the barbarian vanguard pushed the siege engine and followed closely behind, shaking so that the whole earth trembled.
"Quick! Shoot! Shoot!"
"How fast! Those savages run so fast!"
Amidst the yelling of the defenders of the city wall, the drunken barbarian dead soldiers stimulated their physical potential, and ran at the speed of flying people one by one, like cheetahs pounced on the city wall.
The bows and arrows of the defenders crackled and hit their shields and armors. Although most of them pierced through the armors and shields, the aluminum alloy material firmly stuck these arrows that lost their inertia, causing most of the barbarian deaths to be just flesh wounds.
As for the flesh wounds, they had no effect on the barbarians at all.
In fact, after being drunk, even though these barbarian dead soldiers were shot in the eye, they continued to charge against the rain of arrows without realizing it.
puff!
The ladder leaned against the city wall, and the defenders quickly sent heavy armored soldiers forward.
It's just that the first to climb the city wall were the berserkers among the barbarians. After drinking enough wine, the blood of these big shirtless men boiled to the limit, and their strength was already comparable to the extraordinary power used by the first-level knights. .
As soon as they jumped into the enemy's formation, they swung the battle axes or heavy hammers violently, and blood splashed all around immediately.
"Kill, kill these savages!" An officer screamed in horror, urging his subordinates to approach the savage monster that climbed up.
After a while of fighting, the officer seized the opportunity that the barbarian was caught by several subordinates with both hands and feet, and quickly circled around and slashed at him with a knife.
Snapped!
The light of the knife brushed across, and a scratch appeared on the back armor of the barbarian opposite.
It's just that the touch is wrong!
The officer was dumbfounded. He found that the blade he swung was slipped away by the opponent's strange armor for more than half of his force, so that his sure-kill knife might just break the barbarian's skin?
"Roar!"
The injured barbarian's eyes were bloodshot, and large pieces of hair fell off. Immediately afterwards, his figure grew from 1.78 meters to 2.56 meters, and even his armor was tattered.
After becoming bald and becoming stronger, the barbarian shocked the surrounding people away with his hot air, and grabbed the officer who attacked him, ignoring his begging for mercy, and tore the opponent in half alive with all his strength!
"It's the rampage of barbarians!"
The head of the Knights of Mitt was just about to order the knights to attack, and seeing the barbarians on the city wall become stronger after becoming bald, he couldn't help taking a breath:
"Where did Enric find the barbarians... Collective berserk is nothing more than that, there are so many monsters that can be berserk... God, at least two hundred berserk barbarians that are equivalent to knights!"
"The barbarians in the wilderness have such strength, they have already entered the Iron Furnace Plain, how could they rely on Enric!"
The old city lord who hid in the tower of the inner city also said inconceivably at this time: "God, could it be that Anrik has some kind of secret method to stimulate the blood power of barbarians? Yes, it must be so, that's why the secret of the royal family It will have something to do with the wilderness!"
"Once upon a time, you hid it so deeply!" The old city lord panted, clutching his chest and began to think about his way out.
