"Your Excellency General, this idea is very good, but it will not work." It is said that the 430-year-old magister Don Girodt rejected this idea: "The first thing we did after arriving in the northern snow-capped mountains was to consider how to use it.
What a pity about the natural environment here is that the slope of the snow peak behind Hamburg is too steep. There will be no snow on it at all. It is just some tens of thousands of years of ice. These ices are frozen harder than iron and it is impossible for the ice to fall.
.”
"I heard that in Kelesit Town, the giant dragon in Daqing Mountain created an avalanche out of thin air..." Moramon is really a straight-faced person. As the saying goes, it doesn't slap people in the face, and it doesn't expose people's shortcomings when you scold them. How can anyone talk like this? By Lu'er
The three great magisters and the eight great bishops that Your Excellency defeated in one fell swoop all had embarrassed looks on their faces.
"General Moramon, we were defeated by Your Excellency Daqingshan, the most sacred dragon of all time, but... this is inevitable. You must know that Your Excellency Lu'er is one of the six divine dragon envoys under the Dragon God Pilot.
The Dragon Envoy is equivalent to the position of the twelve major gods. The forbidden spell magic he releases cannot be matched by human mages, not even the Grand Mage. During the period when the Magic Empire was at its peak, twenty-seven
It is impossible for the Jedi Grand Elders to join forces to take advantage of the Dragon Envoy... This is a level difference that cannot be solved by human power." In order to regain his face, Don Quilod was really forced to be so polite to Da Qingshan and Lu'er.
things.
"Then can we summon a meteor shower?" Moramon is determined not to give up. As an excellent military officer, most of them love their soldiers like their own children.
"Of course not. Meteor shower is a large-scale forbidden spell that cannot be released by magisters. It was not our ability to release the meteor shower in the imperial capital before. It was an ancient magic scroll provided by His Majesty Renault's family. We only guided the release.
That’s it. However, if we three magisters join forces, we can have a snowstorm for three consecutive days in an area as big as Hamburg City. This snow can fall just in Hamburg City, and there is no snow in other places. I don’t know how to attack the city in this way.
Is it helpful?”
"Oh, can it last longer? Wouldn't it completely submerge the city of Hamburg?" Archbishop Abra asked quickly. As the God of Light and other gods intervened in divine magic, the Priest Department and the Magic Department
The divide between them is getting wider and wider, and the Saint no longer understands the other party's abilities very well.
The ice mage showed a bitter smile on his face: "Alas...manpower is limited after all, and such a long time is already close to the limit of the three of us."
"Okay, then I will help the three magisters." Dahino immediately made a new decision: "First, please ask the three magisters to snow heavily for two days in a row. I will use these days to prepare more sieges.
Equipment, we will attack the city on the third day. At that time, please ask the three magisters to increase the amount of snow and try to conquer it in one go."
"By the way, Marshal, in the face of such a powerful catapult, why don't we drive the civilians of the Red Stone Empire to attack the city? I think if the defenders don't use catapults, then we can go directly to the city. If the enemy uses catapults,
The car can just consume the enemy's reserves of resources." No one could have guessed that such words were actually spoken by Saint Abra, and his words were calm and without any uneasiness.
"This..." A hint of displeasure appeared on Dahino's face: "This is not good. After all, war is a matter for soldiers, and civilians should not be involved."
"But, Your Excellency, you should know that the devil Chi Aotian is driving our people to kill each other on the sacred Plain of Flowers. Why don't we do this?" The look on the face of the other archbishop, Mu La, was also not good.
"Chi Aotian is not proud of what he did. There is no need for us to imitate him." Dahino felt deeply lonely. In the continent of Fanos, the law of the jungle is completely followed. It is normal for the defeated to massacre the entire race.
It is not surprising that the orcs would do such a thing as driving civilians to attack the city. Why would the bishop of the Holy See say such irresponsible words?
"Marshal, if we can capture the city of Hamburg as soon as possible, then it is possible that all the remnants of the empire will surrender, and many innocent people in the Flower Language Plain will escape the sea of misery. In such an extraordinary period, extraordinary things must be done..."
"Marshal, please think more about the soldiers. If there is one more civilian, we may lose ten soldiers."
"My lord, please think again."
"The Battle of Hamburg City is extremely important. If we are defeated here, the areas that have surrendered may rebel again. By then, everything around Scambrai may fall into the hands of the rebels. Sir, whether to use civilians is very likely to change.
The result of the war. Moreover, we only used the area covered by civilians through catapults, so the Hamburg city defenders would not attack rashly."
…
Everyone in the entire tent was talking about various suggestions. In the Fanos camp, although the clergy had a very high status, they did not have the right to lead the army. Unless the position of Commander Dahino was removed, any
No one can give orders for him.
"Oh... Okay, I'll leave it up to you." The Marshal lowered his head, and his gray temples were exposed from both sides of the helmet. Merlin and Moramon, the two people who were most familiar with Dahino, thought of Dahino at this moment.
A previous sentence: The army is just an extension of politics, right? Oh... The Marshal also said something more accurate. Under the influence of politics, the so-called soldiers have no hands that are not stained with blood. Now it seems that even the Marshal
Your Excellency, you also have to stain your hands with blood.
The heavy snow started to fall at 12 o'clock at night, which is the coldest time of the day. The three magisters set up a 60-meter-diameter triangular barrier in the camp, each guarding a corner. "The cold snow
, through the dark night, the great spirit who came from creation, show your supreme power."
The chants of three grandfathers who are over 1,000 years old are melodious and full of exotic flavor. With the body of the magister as the core, the green light beam rotates clockwise along the barrier, and there is a slight sound in the barrier.
The whirlwind and snowflakes fell quietly from the sky. In just a few breaths, the goose-feather snow whizzed down from the sky. Accompanied by the wind and snow, a tall shadow gradually materialized in the barrier. The green high-level ice elf used his hands.
A short and slender magic wand appeared. As the magic wand slowly drew circles one after another in the air, the blizzard was slowly moved by invisible forces, drifting towards the city of Hamburg little by little...
…
Snow is not uncommon in Hamburg City in January, but it is quite strange to have such a heavy snowfall. Daqingshan was awakened by the guards from his sleep, and he immediately broke into a cold sweat. There is no doubt that the shadow of the enemy is definitely floating behind this
. Immediately afterwards, Da Qingshan remembered the meteor shower on the bloody night in the imperial capital and the rebellion of the three magisters, and asked the guards to quickly inform Gesu and Lin Yushang. The eldest daughter of the Lin family ran out without combing her hair smoothly. At this time, Xue had already
Without the instep of my feet, I was still trying to keep my feet down. The snowflakes hit each other in the air and stuck together. When they were about to fall to the ground, they were already the size of a fist. Standing in the snow, I could feel the pain from being constantly hit by snowflakes.
The three people looked out along the city horse road, and Gersu's face immediately turned extremely pale - the prairie elf's sight distance was very far, and he could clearly see that dozens of meters outside Hamburg, except for the previous snow,
Not a single snowflake fell. The three of them simultaneously recalled the large-scale forbidden spell magic that the magisters Lei Ge and Lu'er jointly released on the same dark night on Xilin Island two years ago. If it hadn't been for that same heavy snow, the little servant would have
The Corps cannot withdraw under any circumstances. Unexpectedly, cause and effect reciprocate. Today, the same forbidden spell magic is used, but the positions of both parties have changed. Can this heavy snow play a decisive role like last time?
The snow fell like a heavy rainstorm, from late at night to dawn. Dahino took the officers and archbishops to inspect the city of Hamburg twice. The city walls were almost covered with heavy snow, and there were traces of snow everywhere on the city walls.
I saw soldiers pushing the snow down with basins in their hands...
All the officers had smiles on their faces. We don’t expect the heavy snow to really bury the city of Hamburg alive. As long as it stays at this density for two days, the soldiers in the city will have to keep clearing the heavy snow. Even with this intensity, most of the people will be wiped out.
The soldiers lost their combat effectiveness. Now it seems that the war in two days may be very easy. And Dahino still has a little selfishness in his heart. He just hopes that the snow will be heavier, if it can really freeze the catapults.
, perhaps, there is no need to drive civilians to join the war.
It snowed heavily until the next day. Dahino also pushed up the crossbow cart that Renault had sent. Many generals showed excitement on their faces - Dahino always used to keep reserves when fighting.
At the most critical moment, you will never reveal your ace power. It seems that this time, the Marshal is serious about it.
In the evening, the Fanos Army brought more than 4,000 residents from several nearby human towns to the military camp. All the strong men and women in the nearby towns were either drafted by the Imperial Army or recruited by the Fanos Army.
Even after escaping into the mountains, the only people left in the town were some old people who couldn't run and looked down on life and death. Looking at those extremely ugly orcs, the old people lowered their heads and said nothing, allowing the soldiers from another continent to take them there.
Under the city of Hamburg.
Early in the morning on the third day, the Fanos Army came out in full force, including the strong men they had brought in earlier. Dahino had clearly given the order—today was the last battle to conquer the city of Hamburg, and all the troops were
You must be mentally prepared to kill the last person. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed without mercy. If all military officers below the level of a thousand-man commander are killed in battle or executed by the law enforcement team, they will be executed according to the 1123 model from the following
First-class officers are replaced in sequence.
The so-called 11231 model means that after the top commander of a certain army dies or is executed, the first commander of the first team will take over the command. If the commander dies in battle again, the first commander of the second team will take over.
Command, if all the troops at the lower level die, the first commander of the first team and the first team will take over the command, and so on.
Prior to this, the order to take over 11231 had never been uttered by Marshal Dahino. Never saying it did not mean that there was no deterrence. A cold atmosphere permeated the senior officers.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, 30,000 troops, 5,000 strong men, and more than 4,000 civilians formed five camps under the city of Hamburg.
"Merlin, you command my direct legion to take the lead. First, a team of a thousand people, each group of 50 people, push the small rush car, five groups at a time, and spread out."
"Yes! Your Excellency, Marshal." Merlin knew that Your Excellency, Marshal, could do without civilians. Moreover, based on the last experience, if only more than 200 people passed through at one time, the enemy might not necessarily use a catapult, and the flying rocks would not be enough to crush the charge.
Too many cars and flying stones are definitely a waste. How to calculate this account, I guess the city guarding officer also has to weigh it carefully.
More than 20 rams were pushed out from the rear formation. 800 werewolf soldiers and 200 orc soldiers hid under the rams. The outermost rams moved first...
At this moment, suddenly, whistling sounds were heard continuously above the walls of Hamburg... Ah... the enemy launched a catapult from such a distance? The Fanos officers quickly looked up, and the sky turned black again - in Hamburg
Countless white stones suddenly appeared in the sky above the city. They looked obviously much larger than the stones launched three days ago. Could it be that the enemy was hiding their true strength before? Most people guessed this in their minds, but it was so far away.
The distance is not yet within the range of the catapult. Is it useful to launch it like this?
Most people were still guessing that the huge "stones" had landed with a crash. In an instant, the big "stones" were smashed into countless small "stones". Under the huge inertia, the "stones" stuck to the ground.
It landed on the ground and flew towards the Fanos army at extremely fast speeds.
"Hide quickly! It's an ice cube! Ice cube!" The officer of the Human Thousand Troops was the first to discover the secret and shouted at the Fanos Thousand Troops who had already left the headquarters.
Countless ice cubes roared toward the car like huge white waves more than four meters high. The ice cubes were getting smaller, but most of the ice cubes were still more than 30 centimeters in diameter. The ice cubes filled up the bluestones as they jumped.
In the cracks and potholes, subsequent ice blocks followed closely. Before the soldiers under the rushing vehicle could react, they were immediately knocked to the ground by ice blocks from below, and then more ice blocks were shot down from above.
, directly swallowed up the rush car.
"Quick, retreat!" The Fanos soldier at the front saw the ice waves as tall as a person rolling in, and turned around and ran away in fear.
"Raise your shield! Kill those who retreat!" Dahino took the shield from the guard beside him, pushed the guard away and rushed forward.
Merlin raised his warhammer and led the law enforcement team to cut down dozens of deserters in a row, and the front line was finally stabilized. In fact, the end of a strong crossbow could not penetrate Lu Zhen, and the ice cubes flew and scratched five or six white meters, and they had lost their inertia.
"You are really a fool, Dahino, and those rebel empires. Do you expect this little ice and snow to conquer the city of Hamburg? Have you forgotten that the small mercenary group started in the frozen continent?
, For those of us who grew up in the ice and snow, what does this little snow mean? Come on, let me, Daqingshan, see what more methods you can use." On the city wall, a young man in black stood on the wall.
A large group of young men in white clothes surrounded us and said loudly: "By the way, I would like to thank General Dahino. The ice and snow you sent just allowed us to replenish the catapults with flying stones."
All Fanos officers were shocked. Da Qingshan? It turns out that the guard of Hamburg City is Da Qingshan. No wonder he is so tenacious. He is indeed the two founders and first deputy commander of the small mercenary group.
It is regrettable that no matter how good the intelligence work on the Western Emperor's side is, it will not allow Dahino and other generals to truly understand the character of Daqingshan. If Renault were here, he should immediately discover the anomalies in Daqingshan - based on Daqingshan
With such a character, how could he say such a thing?
Indeed, the two consecutive days of heavy snow have caused more inconvenience to the city of Hamburg than everyone expected. After all, not everyone has lived in the frozen continent. In heavy snow days, the only people who can really come out to clean up the snow are ice and snow.
The teenagers from the mainland and the indigenous residents of Hamburg City, as well as the troops from southern Xinjiang and other places, cannot operate normally in such an environment. If the enemy really wants to attack the city now, it will be a very painful thing for the small mercenary group. Grassland
The two sharpshooter teams, the elves and the forest elves, were unable to perform normally, and the tall figure of the berserker was even more unstable on the thick ice. Da Qingshan said this to give the illusion to Dahino and others, so hurry up
Remove this large-scale magic. Many officers of Fanos do have this idea, but the three great magisters are all in the camp, and it is impossible to notify them now.
The only benefit of ice and snow to Daqingshan is that countless giant ice cubes are made to replace flying stones. The production method is very simple. Use stones to form a mold, coat it with a thick layer of oil, then pour water into it, and at the same time,
Insert both ends of a 40-centimeter thick rope into the water. After two minutes, the water surface will form an ice shell. After 30 minutes, you can take more than 100 kilograms of ice cubes out of the mold by holding the rope with your hands, and then evenly
Apply oil and stack them neatly. For two days and one night, the Hamburg defenders made more than 20,000 ice cubes. The random shooting just now only fired more than 4,000 cubes.
"Push 1,000 people out, and a thousand-man team leads 20 ballistae, 10 trebuchets and 10 rams towards the city of Hamburg." At such a critical moment, Dahino, as the supreme commander, could not help himself.
Gersu was wrapped in a thick felt blanket and looked outside the city wall with his hands. His face suddenly became solemn: "Deputy commander, the enemy... actually pushed the people up like Duanbing Port." The prairie elf knew that this
The deputy captain has the best heart, but alas... it's a pity that Hamburg City's extremely powerful catapult.
"Oh, I got it. Notify the catapults to stop firing." Da Qingshan didn't show any surprise on his face. This was already expected. In war, a general must choose between conscience and responsibility.
When the time comes, most officers will choose responsibility.
The trembling Fanos thousands of troops and the old people who had been frightened out of their souls by the huge power of the catapult passed little by little through the death zone created by the catapult. The Fanos soldiers actually let out bursts of cheers - everyone can
Understand the joy of escaping death.
Then, one group after another of soldiers passed through the death zone under the cover of civilians. Finally, 10 thousand-man teams pushed most of the siege equipment to the city only 150 meters away from Hamburg. More than 200 rams were deployed.
Two defensive formations were formed, and catapults, ballistas and other siege equipment were all hidden behind the rams.
Several officers of the Colorful Dragon Knights on the city wall whispered to each other, and finally confirmed that the siege weapons pushed down below included ballistas. Their expressions were extremely ugly. They didn't care much about catapults. Hamburg City
For such a tall pure stone city wall, the damage that the catapult can cause is not great, but the ballistae... was designed from the day it was designed to deal with the city wall that the catapult cannot destroy.
The two squadron leaders hurriedly ran to Daqingshan and dragged all the small mercenary group officers away from the city wall and the horse path before they began to report - it is absolutely safe here, and there is no way that any flying rocks or arrows can be shot in at any angle.
At the same moment, the Fanos Army under the city wall suddenly attacked across the board.
The two squadron commanders had just mentioned the ballista, and there was no need to waste any time describing the power of this abnormal siege equipment.
40 crossbows were launched at the same time, and 40 large crossbow arrows with 160 metal wings made an overwhelming whistling sound, which changed the color of the whole world. Boom, boom, boom... The officers and cadres standing behind the city wall felt the city wall bursting with excitement.
Trembling, and then, ten crossbow arrows roared past the city and disappeared from people's sight in an instant. Everyone felt chills all over their bodies!
By a strange combination of circumstances, this crossbow had only one target - Da Qingshan and others at the top of Hamburg City. If two squadron captains of the Colorful Dragon Knights had not suddenly come to report, the attack and defense of Hamburg City might have started here.
The moment may have ended.
More than 100 catapults were launched at the same time, and countless stones flew towards the city of Hamburg in parabolas.
The soldiers on the city wall were lying tightly behind the crenellations. Commanders at all levels on the street led their troops into the inner city. Stones fell like raindrops, and all the buildings trembled desperately.
"Report, deputy city guard, five catapults on the west side of the city wall were damaged by flying rocks!"
"Report, all 12 catapults on the south side of the city wall have been destroyed!"
…
Bad news came one after another. In just a few minutes, all the catapults on the three city walls were destroyed - the catapults in Hamburg City were all fixed and could not be moved at all. However, fortunately, most of the catapults in Hamburg City
They are all within the city walls or even on the hills behind Hamburg. These are very difficult for the enemy to destroy.
"Report, deputy commander, the enemy's crossbow arrows have penetrated the city wall, and the enemy is using a rope to pull it out." A small mercenary member hurried over to report.
Daqingshan broke out in a cold sweat. After all, he did not graduate from a professional knight school. He had never heard of such a large-scale siege king. How could such a thing have such an effect? The trumpet outside the city could already be heard in the city.
Son sound.
"Quick! Water water down the city wall and throw out all the ice cubes used for catapults on the city wall with your hands! Throw them all out! Quick!" An idea flashed in Da Qingshan's mind and he found it in the shortest time.
The most correct solution - this is not due to how powerful Daqingshan is. On the frozen continent, the two major cities Daqingshan has been to, Snowfield City and Frozen Fortress, have all adopted this method - outside the city walls.
Watering water to reinforce the city wall. Another advantage of using this method is that it completely prevents the enemy from using ladders, poles and other equipment to attack the city.
In the heavy snowfall, bucket after bucket of water flowed down the city wall. The water was still steaming in the bucket, and tiny ice slag appeared when it touched the wall. After flowing for a few meters, it all turned into ice.
Got Bing Tuo.
As soon as the crossbow bolt pulled out a small gap in the city wall under the external force, the ice water covered it layer by layer. In a very short time, the entire crossbow bolt was submerged under the white ice. The officers on the front line of Fanos
I was dumbfounded at that time, how could I pull this down? Even if 100,000 people were deployed, could the entire city wall be pulled down?
The human soldiers in charge of the crossbow quickly used iron rods to swing up the string of the crossbow, loaded the crossbow arrows, and then fired. These soldiers wanted to use the new crossbow arrows to pull away the ice first.
However, the attack effect of the crossbow car is obviously getting worse and worse. Layers upon layers of ice plus bluestone city walls, this is a typical composite defensive armor. The effect of defending against crossbow arrows is very good. The initial crossbow arrows can still penetrate half of the city wall.
, as the ice layer thickens, the water pouring on the city wall will not be so uniform. In some places, the ice layer is thick and in other places it is thin. When the crossbow arrow hits the ice layer, it will obviously slip. In the end, the crossbow arrow will simply stick to it.
It drew a white line against the ice and finally lost its strength and fell under the city wall.
What made Officer Fanos even more chilled was that the soldiers and mercenaries on the city wall ignored the flying rocks and shouted slogans to push down the large ice blocks. The ice was banging along the 30-meter-wide city road.
After rowing down, they hit the ram. The Fanos soldiers lacked the ability to react quickly. Everyone tried their best to withstand the ram. As a result, nearly a thousand large ice blocks blocked the ram along a path as high as four meters high.
meters of ice wall.
Okay, now there is no need to think about how to conquer the Hamburg wall, let’s first think about how to climb over this ice wall.
Dahino and many archbishops could never have imagined that the masterpieces of the three magisters who spent their efforts could have such an effect. Alas... It is not only in one mind that such an idea appears in a cocoon. There are even people with richer imaginations - the three
A magister wouldn't be in Cao's camp but his heart would be in Han, otherwise... how could he help the opponent defend the city so wholeheartedly?
For the Fanos soldiers, bad news came one after another. At the same moment, the sky northeast of Hamburg suddenly changed dramatically, and waves of roars of giant beasts rolled in from the distance like continuous thunder.
.
After a few breaths, five huge dragons jumped out of the thick colorful clouds like lightning...
