Chapter 489 – The Tragic Siege

The huge thick wooden boards that stood in front of the building cars crashed down beside the moat, forming a wooden board bridge in an instant.

There are more wooden planks that can span the moat, and they were erected on the river by strong rebel soldiers. Together, they turned the insurmountable river into a thoroughfare, and even the means of filling it were useless.

This is a tricky way. Obviously, the rebels who attacked the city spent a lot of thought to piece together so many simple wooden bridges.

The magician ambushing on the top of the city immediately started, bombarding these wooden boards with the simplest and most effective magic bullets.

Although most of the magic bullets were dispelled in mid-air by the secret spells released by the siege warlocks, there were still a few fish that slipped through the net and landed on the river.

In the successive explosions, water and sawdust splashed, and the shattered wooden bridge fell into the river together with the soldiers who rushed up.

Many people struggled on the surface of the river, and many people sank directly to the bottom of the water while bubbling.

Suddenly, a thick electric snake broke through the interception of the secret technique, swept straight from the city wall into the river, and the electric arcs on the wooden boards soaked in the moat water wandered freely. The rebel soldiers screamed and danced break dances, falling The soldiers who entered the river were even more miserable. They completely lost the ability to struggle, and sank straight down stiffly, drowning in the river.

This magical surprise attack caused at least more than 200 casualties of the rebels.

boom! ~

A magic arrow shot from outside the city at lightning speed, and blasted a small gap in the top of the city.

On the rebel side, archers had long been waiting for the magician from the defenders to appear, and successfully killed the opponent with one arrow.

The magician who released the lightning spell was immediately blasted out screaming, and unfortunately fell to the outside of the city wall. Obviously, no matter whether he fell on the ground or in the moat, he would not survive.

In the blink of an eye, several spell shields covered with flowing runes were on top of the moat.The magicians on the city wall retreated immediately, and they needed to use their limited magic power for the most critical battle.

As the rebel soldiers rushing across the moat densely set up the siege ladder, and when they started hand-to-hand combat with the guarding soldiers on the city wall, the short spell bombardment and interception stopped immediately.

Each magician unit is equivalent to a high-mobility self-propelled artillery with rapid deployment and retraction.But compared to real artillery.Although the attack power is not inferior at all, but the shooting range.The continuous firepower and release cost are difficult to compare with the shells of fixed propellants.

"Hold it, hold it, don't put a single one up!"

The officers on the city wall raised their arm shields and ran back and forth against the rain of arrows.Just like putting out a fire, support a precarious section of wall from time to time.

The siege ladder erected by the rebels on the top of the wall was extremely heavy and could not be pushed away for a while. Soon, soldiers holding kerosene rushed up and fell on the ladder.

The ladder, which immediately became greasy, caused several rebel soldiers to miss their hands or stumble. They fell down screaming and hitting the ground heavily, even hitting one or two of their colleagues who were holding on to the ladder with their shields, and all fell to the ground. land.

It's not over yet.The lit torch was thrown onto the ladder, and the entire long ladder was immediately covered in flames. The rebel soldiers climbing on the siege ladder couldn't help the flames and fell down one after another.

There were muffled bang bang bang bangs from below the city wall.But there was no sound of wailing, and the ground was covered with stones with upward angles. This vicious arrangement made the soldiers who fell at this time basically regarded as the bottom of the dead.

The wooden barrels filled with kerosene did not stop throwing outside the city wall, and the kerosene quickly spread to the surface of the moat.

Oil is lighter than water, so a large section of the moat turned into a river of flames, and the wooden boards erected on the river as a simple bridge were burned by the flames at the same time, ignited one after another, and burst into flames.

A scorched wooden bridge was unbearable to burn, and suddenly broke from it, and several soldiers who were passing fell into the river with the broken planks.

Burning boards and the river surface, even the river water has become scalding hot, even good swimmers can hardly survive in this environment.

The flames and high temperature quickly poured back into the struggling person's trachea and lungs, and the resulting pulmonary edema successively caused breathing difficulties, making the struggling more and more weak until they sank to the bottom of the river.

As more and more boards were burned, the more violent flames blocked the retreat of a considerable number of rebel soldiers who were attacking. The soldiers loyal to the royal family on the top of the city continued to shout and fight back with all their strength. The rebel soldiers were cut off from their backup, and their attack power was unsustainable. They soon fell down the city wall with the burning siege ladder, and were dying in the sea of ​​fire.

The function of the moat is not only to block the offensive, but also to divide the attacker at the critical moment, so that the defensive side can form a local advantage in strength around the city wall.

There were several loud bangs in a row, and the building cars that were close to the city wall and those that had just crossed the city wall were continuously hit by the thick magic crossbow arrows. The triggered fire magic crystal instantly released all of its energy of the fire element system, driving one building car after another. After being blasted open, the remaining base was ignited into a huge bonfire.

In the first round of tentative contact, although the two sides did not play all their cards, it was extremely tragic and cruel to the soldiers of both sides in the battle.

Looking at the city wall engulfed in flames from afar, the scorching city walls and the outer walls were unstoppable, and even the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to get too close to the hot female wall.

Undoubtedly, it was difficult for the rebels to continue fighting with the south of Changguan City as a breakthrough point. The first wave of attack came to an end only half an hour later.

Piresa, Marshal of the Northern Expedition of the Anstruther Empire, snorted with inexplicable meaning, turned his head and said to the several legion commanders beside him: "Vebrun still hides his Cangfang Heavy Knights, hum, This is guarding against us! Order the subordinates to get ready, it's our turn."

Veblen, the fourth prince who conspired to rebel, occupied the imperial capital of Deland, which was temporarily abandoned by the Slan royal family, and established himself as the queen. A coalition of Orchids and Lahns.

The reason is simple, there are only permanent interests, not permanent allies.

Even if they are currently in a cooperative relationship, it is difficult to guarantee that the armies of these four countries will suddenly turn their faces and deny people and join forces to kill the rebels, causing the Slan Empire to completely lose its master.

Which benefit is greater between an unowned empire and the agreement made by the original alliance?

I am afraid that even the toes can be distinguished.

Even if His Majesty Veblen, the "new" Emperor of the Slan Empire, did not hold back this move, the coalition forces headed by Anstruther were still very happy to clear the last "obstacle" for him, and perhaps their own last "obstacle".

However, no matter whether it is to continue to maintain the current cooperative relationship, or the four countries join forces to swallow the Slan empire together, if you want to break the situation and go to the next step, you must first unplug the city in front of you and completely end the two generations of Slan emperors.

The current emperor of the Islamic Empire, His Majesty Cyril, and the previous generation of old emperor Mayazzo used themselves as bait to firmly attract the rebels and coalition forces to Changguan City, but this does not mean that the city ruled by the Marquis is a Good bones to gnaw.

The warlock team headed by the Anstruthers gave up creating an elemental disorder area, and instead suppressed the warlocks in Changguan City head-to-head. With their numerical advantage, they successfully obtained a short suppression time.

At this moment, over the military formation outside the city, strong elemental fluctuations oscillated again.

"Frozen Snowfield!"

Under the cover of heavy shield soldiers, fifty Anstruther mages who collectively ventured to the city wall in front of them and were less than three arrows away, after chanting the incantation, they all shouted, and their hands were in different shapes. The different wands pointed at the same time.

The air was filled with a chill that could almost freeze the soul, turning into huge balls of white mist like comets, silently rushing towards the south wall of Changguan City, which was still hot.

The inside of the moat is like boiled dumplings, there are densely packed, shocking charred black floating corpses, even the water surface is squeezed into an inch of space, the flames still have not stopped, not only black smoke is billowing, but also filled the air With a strange smell of barbecue.

Click! ~~

In the next second, the sea of ​​flames from the moat to the foot of the city wall was completely extinguished in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared before, and the scorched corpses and the ground were quickly covered by a thicker and thicker layer of hoarfrost.

The black smoke that was still rising lost its source, and broke into the sky. The floating corpse and the rippling water instantly froze and made a crackling sound, and slowly arched.

This is a large combined spell.

The ninth-level water-type ice magic, "Frozen Snowfield"!

Led by a second-level magic god, with the cooperation of 49 high-level magicians, the spell coverage released by gathering everyone's power even included the battle area just now.

Biting chills replaced the roiling heat waves covering the top of the city, crackling and bursting, and dozens of cracks as wide and narrow as fingers appeared on the surface of the south wall.

Under the action of the two heavens of ice and fire, the originally extremely hard city wall masonry experienced a destructive release of disordered internal stress due to violent fluctuations in temperature.

There was a panic on the city wall. More than a dozen soldiers who could not escape were corroded by the cold air. Even their weapons and weapons were frozen into silent soldiers. A large white frost appeared on the ground behind the parapet.

The soldiers and officers who noticed the unusual cracks on the surface of the city wall screamed, and they even felt a slight tremor under their feet.

The warlocks lined up behind the city wall held the magic weapon or the secret weapon in their hands, chanting the mantra with all their strength, as if using the strength of a baby.

"Magician! Magician! The city wall is cracked!"

"I feel the shock, the wall is coming down!"

Several magicians on the inner side of the city wall immediately stopped the rioting of the soldiers and shouted: "Be quiet, don't make a mess! The city wall will not fall!"

Some officers and soldiers from the local city defense army who knew the history of Changguan City also shouted: "The city wall of Changguan City has a sandwich layer of rammed earth, so it will not freeze and crack."

"Enemy! The enemy is coming!"

As the guarded soldiers howled hoarsely, the soldiers behind the parapet noticed that there were three or four times more enemies rushing towards them than in the previous round of attack.

They didn't even need to build a bridge, they stepped directly across the frozen moat, raised the siege equipment and charged towards the city wall.
