Vol 4 Chapter 99: Smoky clouds

Watching the enemy divide only one carrying a cloud ladder and pushing a catapult towards the wall, most of the soldiers and mercenaries on the wall showed a disdainful look-these people also came to attack Hamburg, not to mention Hamburg Well, even a small town can't beat it?
Daqingshan did not rush to order. According to the understanding of Hamburg City, all the catapults in this city have been accurately adjusted. 120 catapults cover all the distances from 150 to 500 meters in front of the city wall, and for any area, all More than two trebuchets are covered repeatedly.
In front of two or three thousand people in this area, up to 20 catapults can basically cover their location. Daqingshan still hopes to get closer and fight again, so as to ensure the greatest success in one throw.
Two thousand people with more than 30 catapults just entered the distance of 300 meters, and they will never move forward. If you are lucky in this position, small stones can be directly on the wall. More than 30 catapults were lined up in line, and more than 20 bear-man fighters took care of one car. They pulled the main beam back and put more than 40 pounds of stones in it.
"Ready-Let go!"
The stones flew to Hamburg in the night sky.
"Get up the shield!" Four or five great swordsmen on the city wall lifted a huge shield together-this kind of shield is dedicated to the catapult, almost all-steel structure, with a triangular bracket behind the shield, manpower is only moving The role of this shield is specifically used to defend flying stones.
"Boom, boom ..." The dull sounds were connected. Except for very few stones that flew into the wall against the scalp, others either smashed against the wall or landed on the shield.
Daqingshan looked around, almost no injured people, nodded with satisfaction: "Prepare for the catapult, 300 meters in front, halved the volume, launch!"
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers who heard the order struggled with their feet to stomp the bayonet, the tight ropes bounced off, the whole basket of stones whistled from the wall, under the wall and even on the cliff behind the city After being thrown out, the huge firing force shattered the baskets of fine wood in the air, and they were bound together and the stones were scattered instantly. Each of the 20 catapults fired at least 10 40-kilogram stones. Hundreds of stones hit each other in the air, groaning in death.
"Hurry up!" Two thousand people shouted a command in unison, before the intensive attack like Hamburg City, running away was not a shameful thing.
The performance of the Fanos soldiers was different. The thin werewolves dropped their shields and daggers, turned around and ran to the formation. The human soldiers hid in the catapult. The bear men soldiers shouted and wolf their teeth. The rod rushed towards the wall, and the Orc soldiers huddled together to raise the heavy shield in their hands.
The stones screamed and fell at almost the same time, blasting ... bursts of white smoke rose into the air, and the whole ground shuddered!
Despite being mentally prepared, this situation still shocked all the soldiers in Fanos. All the catapults in front of him disappeared after a moment of dust, and a complete or semi-complete one was not left. The stones After landing, they continued to splash, bounce, and fall, and the wolves who were running away frantically were hit by the overtaking stones, and their limbs flew.
When the earth returned to calm from the trembling, there were almost no standing people on the position of the two Thousands, and the miserable cry became a piece.
The three-centimeter-thick pure steel shield was smashed and deformed, the one-centimeter-thick cast armor was torn into pieces, and the half-orc wearing the scorpion armor was smashed through the entire body by stones ... In the dark night, accompanied With a miserable cry, the city of Hamburg looks like ...
In this short moment, 644, this number is really not auspicious. 644 Fanos soldiers broke the city of Hamburg after the first attack. At the same time, more than 800 people were injured and more than 500 soldiers in the front position. Became a rare survivor-thanks to Daqingshan who wanted to save lives, he dropped half of the stones, all weight is light, and should have covered 300 and covered 320 meters away. What the Fanos soldiers don't know yet is that the effect of hundreds of catapults being launched at the same time is actually just a masterpiece of 20 catapults.
Lack of goodness! An attack and defense battle of this scale can only be described by these four words for Hamburg City. If you want to conquer hamburgers, you need to come up with all the methods that the entire human being can come up with.
Dahano subconsciously licked his dry lips with his tongue. Hamburg City is really a place where people can fully realize their imagination. At this time, the old military officer only fluttered the words in the military world: "Hamburg, there are 1,000 people. It can withstand 100,000 people. "
30,000 people ... want to conquer Hamburg, there was a bitter smile on the old soldier's face, and the old people in the base camp would really have a problem.
The Mora ran from the former army. Just now a stone rain came down. Not only were the two frontal thousands of men almost wiped out, dozens of stones bounced off the ground and directly broke through his guard, a few half-orc soldiers Just collapsed. As an officer, I am most afraid of fighting this kind of battle without a mobile phone. No matter how good the soldiers are, they will soon lose their morale.
"Marshal, why don't you use a crossbow vehicle?" Mora beast asked most of the officers if they wanted to. The crossbow vehicle could shoot at a distance of 500 meters. It could suppress the entire Hamburg city, and use the opportunity of the crossbow vehicle to fire, and send most of the troops to Advance, then you can directly attack the city.
"Wait." Dahino didn't explain. In fact, there is no good explanation. Where do the Fanos soldiers know the difficulty of making crossbow arrows, it must be forged in a professional blacksmith shop instead of casting. This method of forging is generally only spread among the dwarf blacksmiths, and the dwarves also There is no guarantee that every forging will succeed, even if you have money. Once the crossbow arrows have been shot without capturing the city, the crossbow cars are no different from waste. Good steel must be used on the blade.
"What should I do? Even if you put all the soldiers here, it is impossible to consume the enemy's stones." There was already a trace of frustration in the eyes of the werewolf commander. The stone rain in the sky did make most people. This thought came up: "My Excellency Marshal, if we drive the local residents to attack the city, this method will work."
Dahino gave Mora a cold look. At the time of the ice port, Merlin once used this method. Afterwards, Dahino severely reprimanded Merlin. Right and regardless of being a soldier ’s conscience, as an occupying army, there is probably no more brutal way than this, even the enemies from Alcatraz know to use Huairou's methods. Repeatedly doing so, it is probably not necessary for the enemy soldiers to defeat themselves. Ordinary civilians in riots everywhere are enough to put the occupying army in a state of utter annihilation. This is the last hand of last resort. If you don't use it, you will die. With ... it's not far from death.
"There is no hurry in this matter, wait any longer. You are ready to organize a new round of attack and push the red car out."
"... Yes." Mora was silent for a moment before reluctantly replying. Maybe the car is really useful? From the point of view of solidity, the red car is still far stronger than the catapult.
The Mora had just receded, and the two werewolves ran over with black powder on their heads: "My Excellency Marshal, Commander of the Merlin Army has led us to discover the mine, waiting for your order to fire."
Oh, Dahino smiled on his face, he didn't expect to find it so quickly. In fact, it is impossible to be unhappy. There are tens of thousands of people working in mining every day in Hamburg City. Several large mine pits are more than 5 meters in diameter. Even a small rickshaw track has been repaired near the mine. Can be found.
"Well, light up immediately, don't stop."
"Notify Merlin that after 30 minutes, you will start attacking the city! The rest of the troops will start attacking after the city is on fire." Dahino immediately dispatched her soldiers.
Daqingshan stood on the head of the city, the sky in the distance was already white, and behind him, the soldiers and mercenaries were busy filling stones-this is an easy thing, all the stones in the arsenal are stacked Are neat and tidy, and they are all loaded with baskets, numbered on it, and all they need to do now is move in. Just now, Princess Lingbao could n’t sleep and had to watch the battle on the city wall. As a result, the elf ’s unique vision made the little girl look pale, leaving two elders, while yelling
I ’m going to have a nightmare
, I ran away and wanted to come Are you going to find Lin Yushang?
The two elders squinted their eyes and told the enemy's movements to Daqingshan. It seems that the enemy is still preparing to continue to attack and rush into the car? Daqingshan has heard of such siege equipment, but I have n’t really seen it. I do n’t know what kind of effect this kind of thing has. However, with so many stone-throwing carts, these soldiers from different continents can only pray for blessings. Daqing Mountain is somewhat helpless, and such a small victory requires a strong enough nervous system for the winner.
In the distance, the black pressure pressed up, and the sound of gurgling could also be clearly heard on the city wall, and nearly 100 rushing cars were all pushed out. Mora beast is also an officer who has the virtues of loving soldiers. Anyway, these instruments are simple to make and the materials are extremely rich. Exchanging equipment for the life of soldiers is an inevitable choice for an excellent officer.
"Aim at the car and throw it once with a catapult." Daqingshan whispered to the messenger around him.
More than 30 stones flew out of the city wall in an instant, listening to the wailing sounds of the crying wolf in the sky, the orc soldiers under the rushing car numb on the scalp for a while, bang ... The stones suddenly fell, and more than a dozen rushing cars were simultaneously After hitting, in a blink of an eye, the Fanos soldiers under the car burst into cheers. Except that the axle of a red car was crushed by a huge force, and another red car was hit by stones in the rear and the car body fell over, the other red cars successfully survived this blow.
Da Qingshan also showed an imperceptible smile on his face. Dahino, Merlin ... these people who let the small mercenaries suffer, this time, it seems that they are also fleeing.
At this moment, the two dwarves ran up from under the wall, anxious expression appeared on their faces: "How about His Highness?"
"Horns is going to the mountain dwarf new king ceremony. I am Daqingshan, what is it?"
"Oh, sir, an intruder was found in the mine, and ... there seems to be a fire in the mine." The black soot on the dwarf's face was traced by sweat: "Well ... maybe the coal spontaneously ignited. "
The enemy attacked from the mine? How could this be? Does Dahino have no information about Hamburg City? No, the imperial capital falls behind, and the Imperial Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Military Affairs have detailed information about Hamburg City. Www.EbookFREE.me There is a gap between them, otherwise ...
The mine under the Hamburg City, under the management of thousands of years of dwarves and gnomes, has become like a huge maze. Even the dwarves and gnomes dare not walk out of their work range at will-it is likely to be lost In the mine. As the most dangerous city in the world, several former city guards also worked hard for the mine. At every distance, a huge fence made of pure steel was installed. During the war preparation period, all fences were locked and guarded by the dwarves. The most important traffic lanes were equipped with two-meter-diameter pure iron rolling balls. , These pits are all straight, with a small of 10 °, once the enemy invades, cut the rope under the rolling stone, no matter how powerful the enemy can't contend with a ton of iron balls; the only way to Hamburg is The two mine entrances are straight up and down, with a height of 40 meters and a diameter of 6 meters. They must pass through a hanging rail to get up and down. Such a three-tiered defense facility laid a triple guarantee for the safety of the mine.
How could the enemy choose this as an offensive point?
on fire? Do the enemies want to set fire to burn the city of Hamburg to ashes? This is also impossible ... an idea suddenly flashed in the mind of Daqingshan, and the person who was as steady as Daqingshan couldn't help but show anxiety: "Quick! Quickly notify all the dwarves in the mine to withdraw to the ground. Quick!"
At this moment, a plume of smoke had emerged from two huge mines! Under the influence of the valley wind, the thick smoke quickly covered the entire Hamburg city, and the coughing sound continued.
Under the city, the Fanos Legion, which received the offensive signal, was launched across the board. The Fanos soldiers had seen a group slamming over the walls of Hamburg City. The excited orcs did not urge the Commander to rush and rushed to Hamburg City ... …
