Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 19: Siege

, , ...

Exciting drums of war came from the rear of the imperial army. At this moment, the imperial army of more than 300,000 troops was advancing towards the black soil fortress.

Facing the towering dark city wall, the imperial soldiers did not fear, but kept a neat queue and moved forward at a constant speed.

At the forefront of the Imperial Army is a large row of heavy shield soldiers. The shields in their hands are raised obliquely upwards. There will be no enemies in the front. The deadly attack must come from the fortress tens of meters high.

The troops behind the heavy shields are very special. They wear light armor and even no weapons. Everyone carries a bamboo basket behind their backs. Inside the bamboo basket are irregularly shaped stones. These stones are the key to this battle.

In front of the Imperial Army, there were queues of this size, with a heavy shield soldier, a transport soldier carrying a stone at the back, and a heavy shield soldier at the back.

As the imperial army advances, the tribal army on the black soil fortress wall is tensed.

The edge of the fortress wall is loaded with a large guard crossbow. These crossbows are like a turret, completely forged from metal. If you want to fill this stuff, you must use a rocker. The shape of the rocker is somewhat similar to an old-fashioned walking tractor. The start lever is just enlarged model.

Click, click, click...

The winding sound of the machine crossbow is continuous. This kind of large machine crossbow cannot be wound in advance, and it will not be fired within one minute after the winding. The strong tension of the bowstring will deform the machine crossbow, which shows how terrifying the power of this thing is.

A dwarf is busy on the wall. There are three dwarves near each crossbow. One is responsible for launching, one for filling, and one for winding the wheel. Their movements are neat, less than ten seconds, and there are more than 300 on the wall. The machine crossbow has been wound up. Don’t think that there are only these three hundred machine crossbows on the black soil fortress. Looking around, there are at least a thousand machine crossbows on the fortress, but the front line is so long that other machine crossbows cannot be used. This kind of movable crossbow The machine crossbow has filled this section of the city wall.

Before the imperial army attacked the black soil fortress, it was almost a unilateral massacre of them by the tribe. As for the counterattack with a rain of arrows, it was basically ineffective.

This horrible war weapon is called the "Guardian Crossbow", invented and created by the dwarves.

If the'Guardian Crossbow' only fires ordinary large crossbow arrows, then the tribe will not use it to defend the fortress. No matter how powerful the crossbow arrow is, it only attacks one point, which has little effect on the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people. But the attack range of the'Guardian Crossbow' is not a single point, but a large area.

"ready."

A dwarf almost wrapped in an iron bucket stood on a high place, holding a small red flag in his hand.

When the dwarf bannerman raised the small flag, the imperial army was already close to the barrier. Those soldiers carrying the bamboo basket rushed out. They untied the bamboo basket behind them during the charge, and wanted to dump the stones in the bamboo basket under the wall. As long as they complete this'simple' task, they can retreat to the rear of the army.

Unfortunately, they didn't have this opportunity at all.

"Go!"

A soldier rushed forward.

"hair!"

On the fortress, the chess pieces held high by the dwarf flag soldiers swung down, and the dwarf behind the three hundred'guard heavy wheel crossbows' pulled the trigger forcefully.

Collapse, collapse, collapse...

The crossbow string makes a muffled noise. This is not the crossbow string breaking, but the sound of the crossbow string being too strong and quickly rubbing the air.

A three-meter-long crossbow arrow is shot. These crossbow arrows are not pointed, but oval-shaped arrows, like a large match. The crossbow arrow interrupts several rows of reverse vents. Once the speed of the crossbow arrow reaches a certain limit, This kind of killing weapon will show its hideous side.

The entire crossbow arrow has a spiral body, so after the crossbow arrow is launched, it starts to spin at high speed.

Ding~

A large crossbow arrow stretched out a circle of'wings' in mid-air. What kind of wings are these, but three-meter long thin double-edged blades.

The crossbow arrows are originally rotating at high speed. After the double-edged blades are deployed, each crossbow arrow becomes a reamer with different high-speed rotations.

Hum~

There was a harsh whistling sound, and hundreds of high-speed rotating crossbow reamers attacked the imperial soldiers under the fortress.

The crossbow arrow reamer flew into the crowd and began to cut the human body. The armor could not protect this thing. Blood and minced meat splashed. A dozen soldiers were instantly chopped into fleshy flesh. This is not the end, because the tip of the crossbow arrow reamer is round. After landing, it will continue to strangle the enemy. If the angle is right, this thing is like a top.

The mud splashed, the stumps flew across, and after a volley of tribal troops, a large corpse appeared under the fortress.

"Hahaha."

"These offal."

"Come again."

While the dwarves on the fortress laughed, the second round of volleys was ready.

Under the fortress, Captain Carlos's expression was cold, and beside him was a smashed crossbow reamer.

"carry on."

Carlos roared and heard the voice of his own army commander. The soldiers carrying bamboo baskets roared and rushed forward. Their army commander was watching them. That was the person they admired.

Collapse, collapse, collapse...

The second round of volleys on the fortress began. Although the imperial soldiers suffered heavy casualties, under the leadership of the regiment commander Carlos, groups of soldiers rushed forward.

In less than two minutes, the stones under the fortress had been piled up to a height of one meter, but of course the stones had no such effect. It would be different if you added broken bodies.

While the dwarves on the fortress were busy filling bombs, the elven archers behind the Imperial Army had been preparing for a long time.

Whoosh~

The dense rain of arrows shoots parabola above the fortress. Seeing the rain of arrows, the dwarves on the fortress didn’t care at all. The function of the “Guardian Crossbow” was originally invented not to defend the city, but to deal with it. The arrow rain of the elves, but this thing is difficult to carry, and it is not effective against the easy-moving elves.

But now it's a siege battle, and the'Guardian Crossbow' shows its ability to deal with arrow rain.

Before the dense rain of arrows fell in the air, the reamers of crossbow arrows had already come forward.

Click, click...

The arrow rain was twisted into sawdust all over the sky. Not only that, the crossbow arrow reamer flew towards the middle of the Imperial Army.

The crossbow arrow reamer landed, and a large group of soldiers were chopped into flesh before they even had time to scream. The situation of the tribal army is very good.

Is this true?No, once the stones and corpses under the fortress accumulate to a certain height, the imperial army will rush to the fortress and start hand-to-hand combat.

The strange thing is that no large-scale magic appeared in the armies of both sides, such as the fire rain technique, and the wind blowing technique.

It's not that there are no mages in the two camps, but that the spellcasters in this world are not strong in group warfare. In one-on-one, the spellcasters' abilities are not weak. As for large-scale magic, that thing never appeared after the establishment of the empire. The reason is unknown.

Nowadays, spellcasters rarely participate in wars. They prefer to explore magic, that is, they do not participate in the struggle for power. As for the second-order contractor mages, they are less likely to master large-scale magic. Mass destruction magic is not this. It can be obtained at the stage, and the mana value of large-scale mana consumption is also an astronomical number. The second-order contractor mage is at most throwing small and medium-sized spells on the fortress.

The backbone of this world is the army, and the physical fitness of every soldier is not weak. Under the pressure of the army, the strongest spellcaster can only roll up and escape.

At this time, Su Xiao was in the middle of the Imperial Army, on a high hillside, he was holding the Spider Queen.

Although the appearance of the Spider Queen in this world is a bit contrary to peace, under the disguise of Reincarnation Paradise, other soldiers only think that this is Su Xiao's special ability, similar to alchemy or magic.

Of course, Su Xiao is not the only one who uses sniper rifles on the battlefield. In this special battle, the contractor's influence on the war begins to show.
