Devil's Doom Row

Chapter 451 Siege Battle!
With a wave of Barbara's hand, the army behind her changed immediately, followed by rows of skeleton warriors holding tall shields striding out of the army!

The troops that came out of the army are all composed of skeleton warriors, but their equipment is very different from the skeleton warriors produced by the general Mowu hall. The skeleton soldier troop of Barbara does not have iron axes in their hands, but They are all holding a tall shield that is almost exactly the same as the door panel!

The shield in their hands is more than two meters high. With the thin arms of skeleton warriors like branches, they can't lift it up easily. They have to use both hands. Therefore, they didn't configure weapons. Then the figure of the skeleton warrior behind him could not be seen.

This army is not a special unit, they are the most common skeleton warriors, but they are different from ordinary skeleton warriors, because Barbara has changed all their equipment!
This is the background of the powerful devil!For a powerful monster like Barbara, the number of troops is no longer the goal she pursues, and quality is the most important thing. Although the number of troops that can be produced by a monster level is not too rich, as a The main force of the undead soldiers can change equipment, which in disguise provides a space for capable monsters to strengthen their troops.

At this time, the shields held by these skeleton warriors are called magic shields, which have a high bonus of 30 points of defense, but they have to reduce the dual attributes of movement speed by 10 points, which is a kind of low cost performance among the big demons. If you buy equipment from a merchant, you will need about two or three hundred gray souls. Naturally, demons can't use this kind of shield. Its too large size and the disadvantage of reducing the movement speed will make the holder very weak, but If you can equip this kind of armor in the army in batches, it will be another effect!

I saw that the first batch of shield-mounted skeleton warriors walking out of the army consisted of ten squads, that is, 500 people. These skeleton warriors with large shields in both hands were immediately divided into ten teams in units of squads after striding out. After a while, Ten squads of shield-mounted skeleton warriors lined up in front of the army formation at a distance of tens of meters from each other.

After that, there was another movement from the army behind Barbara, this time the movement was much louder than when the shield-mounted skeleton warrior came out, and following the noise, looking into the army, one could clearly see more than ten Meter high, the tower, which looks somewhat similar to the arrow tower, was pushed to the front!

Siege towers!

At the very beginning of Barbara's attack on Huoteng City, she brought out siege weapons!

Siege Towers: Siege weapons.

Attack Power: 0.

Physical Defense: 50.

Magic Defense: 0.

Durability: 600.

Movement speed: 5.

Effect: The siege tower is built of stone and wood. The tower body is a solid arrow tower. It has no offensive ability, but the upper floor can accommodate 40 long-range soldiers to attack the target.

Special effect:

Range Buff: Soldiers on the tower have a 100% increase in range when conducting long-range strikes.

Affiliation: Demon Lord Mary.

Ownership: Immutable.

In hell, territorial battles and frontal battles have two completely different styles of play, especially when facing a well-defended city like Huoteng City, this is no longer the category of territorial battles, but real siege battles!In such a siege battle, the attacking side and the defending side will be very distinct. The defensive side can rely on the strong city to defend because of its geographical advantage, and thus gain a great advantage; on the other hand, the offensive side will have a lot of disadvantages , they not only have no defense, but also attack the enemy hiding behind the iron wall, so if they want to win under such a disadvantage, it is obvious that they cannot use ordinary methods.

Facing the solid city wall and the enemies hiding behind the city wall, it is absolutely impossible for soldiers to charge close to their bodies to win victory. Just like the current Huoteng City, even if Barbara lets his [-] troops charge together, he will definitely not be able to win. Huoteng City, which is protected by thick walls, cannot be conquered.

So if you want to break through a city of this size, you must rely on siege weapons!

Luo Ming had already heard of siege weapons when he became a demon head. These weapons specially used for siege warfare must be made of materials produced in the stone processing workshop, but they cannot be made at the level of a demon head. Only after the lord can survive.

And this time, since Forbeck sent Tianzong and Babara to drive straight into the hinterland of Jialong, and planned to let them capture two well-defended cities as a lone army, he would naturally provide siege weapons for the two armies, otherwise Babar Bella and Tianzong couldn't complete the task at all.

At this time, the ten towers pushed to the front of the formation are one of the siege weapons provided by Forbeck. Not only do these towers look quite similar to the arrow towers, but they also have basically the same function as the arrow towers. It does not have the ability to attack, but it can be filled with soldiers to attack, and each tower can accommodate dozens of soldiers!Therefore, in the siege battle, because the tower itself is basically as high as the city wall, it can carry enough soldiers, and there are special bonuses to increase the attack distance, etc., which can effectively suppress the defensive troops from conducting long-range attacks on the city wall. .

After a while of commotion, ten siege towers were pushed to the front of the formation under the drag of the skeleton soldiers. Although the siege towers had wheels at the base of the towers, their moving speed was too slow after all, so the fence La simply sent skeleton soldiers to push the tower forward around it, which would increase the movement speed of the tower a lot. From this point, it can also be seen how proficient Barbara is in the use and distribution of arms, even if It is impossible for skeleton soldiers to display combat effectiveness on this level of battlefield, and they can still find their own position under her arrangement.

Ten tall towers were pushed to the front of the formation, and the ten squads of shield-mounted skeleton warriors who had already lined up before immediately surrounded the towers one by one. Ji, using the shield in his hand to protect the tower and the skeleton soldiers responsible for pushing the arrow tower forward.

After that, she was no longer alone in front of Barbara's army. There were already five tall towers on her left and right sides, but this was not the end, because when the towers were pushed out, a while later The sound of rumbling wheels came from behind Barbara again, and immediately after that, another siege weapon was pushed out!

Following the ear-piercing sound of wheels, looking back, I saw a huge chariot that was more than ten meters long and four or five meters wide had been slowly pushed out from the army. These two chariots were huge in size and It looks like six wheels are installed under a huge bracket, and a heavy wooden stake is hung inside the bracket, and there are two rows of skeleton warriors standing on the left and right sides of the wooden stake.

Rush car: siege weapon.

Attack Power: 300.

Physical Defense: 100.

Magic Defense: 0.

Durability: 1000.

Movement speed: 10.

Effect: The Chariot is a weapon specially used to destroy city walls and gates. Its own attack power is extremely high, but it needs soldiers to operate it, otherwise it cannot attack.

Special effect:

Gate Destroyer: When attacking the gate, the damage is increased by 10%.

Affiliation: Demon Lord Mary.

Ownership: Immutable.

After the appearance of the siege tower, the huge chariot also appeared on the battlefield. This weapon is the most important weapon in the siege battle, because its powerful destructive power is enough to destroy the impregnable city walls and gates. Once If the city walls or gates are destroyed, the defenders in the siege battle will lose their most favorable advantage, and the situation of the war may change dramatically.

Skeleton soldiers are still driving it forward, and there are also heavy soldiers protecting it, because siege weapons play a vital role in siege warfare, and can often play a decisive role in determining success or failure, but the self-protection capabilities of these weapons But it is extremely weak, as long as the enemy concentrates its attack, it can be easily destroyed. Therefore, when any siege weapon is sent to the battlefield, troops must be sent to protect it, otherwise it will die in vain.

Therefore, the rushing chariot that was pushed to the front of the formation was also followed by troops, but what followed were not shield-mounted skeleton warriors, but heavy armored skeletons!

There are two squads of heavy armored skeletons following around the car!Obviously, their mission is the same as that of the ten shield-mounted skeleton warriors before, to protect the siege weapons from the enemy's attack. higher than the tower.

When the car was also pushed to the front of the formation, Barbara was completely ready to attack, and then she pointed at Huoteng City without any delay, and an order resounded through the entire army in an instant!
"attack!"

Following her order, there were five thousand standard equipment behind her, that is, ordinary skeleton warriors swarmed out. These skeleton warriors formed a square formation of 1000 people. In the distance, he walked towards Huo Teng City!

When these skeleton soldiers started to rush towards Huoteng City, the ten siege towers surrounded by shield-mounted skeleton warriors also began to be slowly pushed forward at this moment. Get up!

And at this moment, just as Babara's troops began to approach Huoteng City, Huoteng, the demon leader on the wall of Huoteng City, had already had a panoramic view of this scene!
All the actions of Babara in the city before were not out of anger. It can be said that the formation was completely set up in front of his eyes before he started to attack, and all that Babara did was also not out of anger. expected.

Huoteng, the devil, is not only a veteran devil, but also the top priority of Jia Long's command in charge of guarding the border. Needless to say, his strength, his knowledge and ability are even more impressive. It is not like he has never fought a siege battle Xiao Xianrou, he is a real old fried dough stick. He has seen and experienced all kinds of scenes and right and wrong, so he knows exactly what Babala is doing.

However, even though he was well aware of Barbara's actions, when Huoteng saw the shield-mounted skeleton warrior walking out of Barbara's army, he still thumped in his heart, because with his experience, he could see these changes at a glance. The equipped skeleton warriors were not for combat purposes, but as expected, the siege towers and a rushing car that appeared immediately made Huo Teng's face sink like water!
At this time, Huoteng already knew the size of Barbara's troops based on the information. A troop of 3 people is equivalent to the size of a regiment. I can't scare myself, but if such an army has a lot of siege weapons, it's completely different!

Siege weapons have always been the nemesis of the city, because these weapons originally existed for the purpose of capturing the city, and it is obvious that Barbara came prepared this time, and his pre-war preparations were quite sufficient, so Huoteng now has to consider The question is, how many siege weapons are there in the Barbara army? !
How many siege weapons the enemy brings, this information is very important to the defender, the number of siege weapons will directly determine whether the opponent is capable of launching an attack that threatens the city, but it is a pity that Huoteng does not know this information , he can only rely on his own experience to calculate.Judging from the fact that Barbara dispatched ten towers as soon as she came up, it may be impossible to guess how many siege weapons Huoteng she brought this time, but at least it can be seen that Barbara is absolutely full of confidence! !

But it's too late to think about these things now, because Barbara has already set up the formation in the process and started to march towards Huoteng City!
However, during this process, Huo Teng did not do nothing. When Babara mobilized the army, Huo Teng was also surrounded by troops!
At this time, the walls of Huoteng City are already full of skeleton archers. These skeleton archers standing on the walls are the same as the shield-mounted skeleton warriors below the city. All of them have been replaced with high-quality equipment. Instead of an ordinary longbow, it was replaced by a great devil-level fine bow!
So when Barbara's troops started to march, the skeleton archers with fine bows beside Huoteng were all ready to fight. Once the enemy entered their range, these archers would attack without hesitation.

In this way, the time passed minute by minute, and Barbara's troops kept approaching Huoteng City during this process. The original distance of 500 meters between the two sides was continuously shortened during this period.

300 meters!
250 meters!
200 meters!
150 meters!

When Barbara's attacking troops approached to a distance of about 150 meters from Huoteng City, the siege tower that had been advancing with the troops suddenly stopped, and the skeleton archer who had been hiding in the tower suddenly appeared. body, and then shot round after round of arrows towards the city wall!

The tower can not only allow the archers on the top to sit on an equal footing with the enemies on the city wall, but also increase their shooting range, so when they get close to the range of 150 meters, the archers on the upper floor start to attack, and the 150 meters This distance is also very particular, this is the limit attack distance of the magic tower!The extremely lethal magic tower has no way to attack the target beyond 150 meters!
Ten towers, each tower can hold 40 soldiers, and ten towers can hold 400 soldiers!
These 400 archers opened their bows and released their arrows at the same time after they appeared, and a rain of arrows flew towards the city wall of Huoteng City!

But Huoteng's side had already prepared for this. When the rain of arrows shot from the siege tower flew into the air, all the archers on the city wall bowed and hid behind the battlements. The skeleton archers with fine bows didn't have much loss, and there were a hundred or so people who were hit by arrows, but they only lost a little life.

However, the damage caused by a round of arrow rain did not stop the archers on the siege tower, and they began to shoot their bows and arrows continuously. Falling to the city wall!
Under this kind of continuous suppression, the troops on the walls of Huoteng City may have suffered few casualties, but they also did not play any role.This is the role of the siege tower on the battlefield. The role of this weapon is not to hurt the enemy, but to suppress it!

And under this kind of suppression, the 150 skeleton warrior troops ahead of the tower had already broken through the range of [-] meters, getting closer to Huoteng City!
In the blink of an eye, the Skeleton Warrior troop stepped another 50 meters, and they were about to enter the limit distance of 100 meters. If they could successfully enter this position, they could directly charge and rush to the gate of Huoteng City!

But at this moment, when the skeleton warrior troops sent by Barbara were about to rush in front of the city gate, there was a roar like thunder on the city wall!
"The whole army—"

"shooting!!!"

It was Huoteng who roared like thunder, and following his order, the fine bow and skeleton archers who had been hiding behind the city wall poked their heads out at the same time at this moment, and then pulled their heads in the rain of arrows that kept falling. Unlocking the fine bow in his hand, he shot the long-awaited bow and arrow at the skeleton warrior troops that had already entered the range!

In an instant, a mass of black arrow feathers fell directly from the top of the wall. The archers on the tower had already connected their arrow feathers in the air. Now the archer troops under Huoteng started to attack again. So in an instant, the arrow feathers shot towards the city wall and shot out of the city wall are like chains connected together, directly linking the offensive and defensive forces!
At the same time, as the arrow feathers shot by the fine bow archers fell, the skeleton warrior troops that had just rushed within a hundred meters began to fall in batches!The number of archers on the walls of Huoteng City was close to a thousand, and all of them were replaced with fine bows. Therefore, the arrow rain shot from their hands was deadly in both quantity and quality. It was difficult for ordinary skeleton warriors to resist. Two arrows are enough to kill these skeleton warriors!This is tantamount to drawing a dividing line [-] meters in front of the city gate. Any target who dares to cross the thunder pool by half a step will be fatally hit by the fine bow and skeleton archer!
As a result, the footsteps of the skeleton warriors slowed down uncontrollably, but at this time Barbara in the army suddenly waved again, and the ten towers that had stopped attacking for a long time were again under her command. Get pushed!

Seeing this scene, Huoteng standing on the city wall frowned tightly! !
