"Shoot! Shoot quickly!" Gersu knew that now was not the time to spare any effort. He watched the elves shoot four batches of magic arrows in a row, his expression changed somewhat, and he immediately ordered loudly. There was still a group of people in the small mercenary group.
There are more than a thousand forest elves. The advantage of grassland elves over forest elves is that they can use wind magic for ultra-long-range shooting. Once they reach a distance of 500 meters, there is no difference between the two elves. Maybe the forest elves still have some advantages.
.If you don’t show much effort at this time, Amy will definitely take it down after a while.
The grassland elves tried their best to shoot the feathers outward. After a few minutes, most of the elves could no longer use magic to activate the arrow feathers. Although the castle was getting closer and closer, they could no longer shoot at the castle.
Already.
"Quick! The captain asked everyone to take down the city wall and rest. Hurry!" Qing Su, the acting captain of the Forest Elf Archer Battalion, ran up with more than 100 forest elves. Amy's latest order was to let these forest elves come up and hide in the crenellations.
Finally, he waited for an opportunity to fire an arrow: "Captain Lantian, Commander Amy wants you to get down too, hurry up... the enemy's ballista will be here soon."
Of course, the heavy infantrymen of the Colorful Dragon Knights all know how powerful the crossbow is. The crossbow arrow is entirely made of steel. With the heavy shield in my hand, it is probably not difficult to penetrate 10 or 20 sides in one go. I heard that Mr. Amy
There was such a considerate order, and the soldiers withdrew without saying anything.
Thick - thick - thick...
At the moment when the heavy infantry had just withdrawn from the city wall, more than 30 crossbows on the ice and snow castle were launched at the same time. From a distance of more than 800 meters, the crossbow bolts and whistling sounds came almost at the same time. The forest elves squatting under the crenellations
They could clearly hear the powerful crossbow arrows flying rapidly over their heads, and the overbearing whistling sound brought a wave of air rushing towards them...
Several heavy infantrymen were hit by the crossbow bolts that had just fallen. These crossbow bolts were all simple wooden-iron-clad arrows that had just been made. They were shot at the 1cm thick steel armor of the heavy infantrymen... The huge power instantly caused
The steel armor immediately deformed. Quite a few of the steel armors were pierced by the arrow tips, and the iron arrow points were pierced from the broad chests of the soldiers... There were also a small number of crossbow arrows that were not of good quality, and the thin iron sheets and hardwood were shattered by the huge force.
, Even so, the impact brought by the thick arrow was still unbearable by the human body and armor. The soldiers involuntarily opened their mouths and spurted out blood. Some people were even hit with such force that their internal organs spurted out from their mouths...
After a few breaths, the second batch of arrow feathers flew over and hit the crenellations of the city wall with a bang. This crenellation was reinforced with ice in Daqingshan. The thickness of the ice alone was half a meter, and the ice shards raised by the crossbow arrows were as big as giants.
Waves rolled up into the city wall layer by layer, hitting people's faces, causing pain. Some little elf girls started to see blood on their faces after being hit by ice particles.
.
Fortunately, it is impossible for a giant crossbow to aim accurately on the floating city. Otherwise, there would be no need to fight this battle, and they would be suppressed and unable to raise their heads. There are still giant crossbows flying overhead, heading towards the houses in the city, and
Well, thanks to Hainuo, the heavy snowfall a few days ago put thick ice on the roof of every house. The crossbow arrows slid on it, just like using stones to float water, and they were several times long.
The huge thing flying up from one roof to another with ice slag like white waves was finally blocked by the inner city wall.
More than 6,000 soldiers standing against the city wall behind Hamburg couldn't help but smack their tongues slightly when looking at this magnificent scenery.
Amy was just behind the horse path, and forest elves kept running down from the city wall to report the latest news. At this time, Amy was not in a hurry. No matter how powerful this giant crossbow was, it would not penetrate the city wall, only dozens of
The more overbearing the tool, the shorter its lifespan. As long as it is delayed for a few days, the enemy will be incapable of doing so.
Amy casually pulled up a handful of pebbles under the city wall, and then used the pebbles to draw a square on the ground. The teenagers from the Ice and Snow Continent behind her generally understood that this was a kind of chess played in the Ice and Snow Continent, usually with two sides.
They were playing individually to see who could capture the opponent's chess pieces. Sure enough, Amy squatted down and waved to a young man opposite her who had just joined a small mercenary group, and the two of them started playing.
It seemed that the group leader really didn’t take the other party seriously? The young men all breathed a sigh of relief.
The attack on the Ice and Snow Castle suddenly stopped. Merlin just wanted to use the ballista to suppress the ultra-long shooting of Hamburg City's archers. Originally, with more than 30 ballistas, even if they killed a soldier every time, how much impact could they have?
Function?...The fortress then slowly moves forward.
700 meters…
600 meters…
500 meters…
400 meters…
When Amy heard the number 400 meters, she smiled at the young man opposite her and said, "I've lost this round. Come back to me when the battle is over." Then she jumped up from the ground and said, "Hurry!
Ask the deputy commander of Da Qingshan to prepare to fire flying rocks. Remember, don't be afraid of waste, as long as you can hit them, no matter what. Qing Su, take your 500 troops up and prepare to shoot. Remember, you mainly shoot people, no equipment.
Quick, give me priority to shoot those magicians and priests - Gesu, you go up and take command!" Gesu has participated in many more battles than ordinary forest elves. After he goes up, I believe the casualties will be less.
The elves lowered their heads and quickly ran up the horse path, running to both sides of the crenel. The orcs on the castle had sharp eyes and immediately saw this change. All the crossbow bolts started shooting at the same time. Unfortunately, the crossbow bolts were
The number is too small, and it has huge rebound force, so it is easy to shoot high. The first round of crossbow bolts fired randomly did not hit a moving elf.
"Get into position, with both sides facing the center, stand up and shoot one after another, prepare - shoot!" Gersu yelled in lower elven language on the city wall.
Like a wave, the elves immediately stood up, and the short bows in their hands were instantly opened. Most of them held three feather arrows in their right hands at the same time. In just half a breath, the three short arrows in most of the elves' hands had turned into one piece.
Green raindrops fell towards the floating city.
This was already in Dahino's calculations. During the upward movement of the elves, the magicians and priests had already placed the oak shields transferred from the Orc Legion on the ice wall in front of them, and they were sticking to it.
Holding the shield and continuing to bless magic from both sides; the orcs on the city lowered their heads and hid in the ice bunkers.
But even so, some unlucky ones were still shot, and several corpses staggered and fell from the floating city, falling into a puddle of flesh on the ground.
Several elves in their prime shot their short arrows directly at the three magisters at the highest point of the floating city. The green air line fell silently 30 meters away from the magisters. The magisters were casting with all their strength.
When magic is used, the realm is released. Within the realm, any power that cannot surpass the magister will be swallowed up by the realm.
Under the full suppression of the elves, the orc soldiers on the floating city could not raise their heads for a moment, and all the siege equipment stopped. After a few breaths, the pure white city wall was covered with tender green thatch.
However, the situation was not optimistic. Gersu frowned tightly. The catapult attacked through curves, while the elves all attacked through direct fire. Now this kind of shooting brings minimal attack to the enemy.
The floating city moved closer to Hamburg City. Soon, the enemy entered the blind spot of the archers' sight, but the stones thrown by the curve had no effect. At that time, the elf archers were not even as useful as ordinary human archers.
Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, the floating city had penetrated 200 meters in front of Hamburg City. The catapults and ballistas in the back row had entered the blind spot of the archers' sight. The orcs immediately jumped up, using their hands and feet together, with a diameter of 50 meters.
Centimeter-sized ice balls were thrown out one by one by catapults - this is also the established idea. Once close to the city, all ice balls will be used as the raw materials for catapults - this is quite easy to produce. There is a great ice magician who works on the ice and snow.
The castle specializes in using magic to cut ice cubes from the snow and ice to make ice balls on the spot.
There is no need for the angle of the catapult, nor does it need to be projected too far. The catapults on the floating ice city can project quite a large amount of stones. The weight of the ice cubes projected by each catapult at one time actually reaches 200 kilograms. The ice cubes roar from
It flew a certain distance in the sky and then landed suddenly on the city.
"Hide quickly!" Seeing that he could not effectively compete with the enemy, Gersu immediately ordered the elves to retreat down the city wall... There are holes for hiding soldiers on the three walls of Hamburg City. After the ice ball hit the ground, it was immediately smashed into ice shards of different sizes.
Either sharp or sharp or blunt, these ice chips inherited the energy of the huge ice ball after it hit the ground at high speed. They collided on the city wall and scattered in all directions. Elves were constantly hit by the large pieces of ice flying up. The sharp ice chips
Like a knife, it cut into the skin of the elves silently, and some people kept falling to the ground suddenly, and the blood immediately turned red into the white ice flowers.
Bang bang... The catapults in the city and on the mountain behind the city were launched at the same time. This was not the time to waste strength. Daqingshan used all the remaining nearly a hundred catapults, and all of them reduced the amount of catapults - fewer catapults flew.
Only with high talent can you hit the floating city in the sky.
Boom...Boom...Boom...The black stones dyed the sky black, and instantly formed a giant net between the sky and the earth. The black stones actually collided with the ice balls projected from the floating city in the air, and the white ice
Debris rained down from the sky like a blizzard.
Indeed, the stones thrown by more than a dozen catapults hit the floating city heavily through the air. The city in the sky was hit with a loud bang, and even moved back bit by bit - more than a dozen mages hiding behind shields.
I didn't see the flying stones at all, and I didn't even have time to scream. The stone wrapped in a shield was shot into the ice city. After the first round of flying stones, more than ten huge flowers bloomed on the front wall of the floating city.
bright red flowers…
"あ--" Someone on the floating city loudly issued an order, bang... A shower of white arrows fell from the sky in an arc, hitting the catapult launching point in the city - even in the air, even if he couldn't stand
Steady, the centaur archers still tried their best to perform beyond their level, but they didn't have time to prepare for the stone-throwing soldiers who were shot down one by one...
"Lord Amy, let me take the Phantom Beast Knight and the two Dragon Knights to charge forward! You can't get beaten like this! The enemy will completely destroy the city walls and catapults!" Captain Lantian shouted amidst the huge noise on the battlefield.
and Amy yelled.
"No!" Amy also yelled at the top of her voice: "Now all the enemy's ballistae are no longer in use, just waiting for you to get up! Can you escape the enemy's ballistae?! Quick, send someone to inform Daqingshan except those who can attack
Stop all the catapults in Zhongfu City. Also, do everything possible to increase the throwing angle of the catapults. Tell him that even if half of the catapults are destroyed due to the angle of rotation, it is better than leaving them all to the enemy after the city is broken.
.quick!"
"Then what do we do?!" Lan Tian was extremely unwilling!
"Wait! If the floating city dares to completely invade the sky above Hamburg, then it can rush up from below. If they don't dare, then the damage they can cause to the city will still be limited. Which one is stronger, ice or stone? Save your strength and wait for them to commit the crime.
Wrong timing." This is Amy's last resort. No matter how good the officer is, he cannot immediately come up with a solution when faced with an unprecedented siege weapon like the Floating City.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the city wall, and the retreating elves made a loud noise.
"What's wrong?" Amy jumped out from under the city wall: "Get out quickly, immediately, quickly!"
"Captain, Commander, Deputy Commander Gersu... In order to save two elf archers, they were... were..." An elf ran down the city wall with blood on his face.
Ah? Amy ignored the pull of the two cadres around her. Before Tengteng ran to the city, the young man had already seen the body of the prairie elf lying in a pool of blood - a huge ice block pressed tightly against the fourth deputy leader of the small mercenary group.
Blood spurted out from his upper body, dyeing the two forest elves underneath his body blood red...
At this moment, Amy had doubts about whether Hamburg City could defend to the end for the first time.
