Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 742 Siege
Boom, boom, boom...

The passionate sound of war drums came from the rear of the imperial army. At this moment, the imperial army of more than 30 troops was advancing towards the black earth fortress.

Facing the towering pitch-black city wall, the imperial soldiers were not afraid, but maintained a neat formation and moved forward at a constant speed.

At the front of the imperial army was a large row of heavy shield soldiers. The shields in their hands were tilted upwards, and there would be no enemies in front of them. The deadly attack must have come from the fortress tens of meters high.

The troops behind the heavy shield soldiers are very special. They wear light armor and don't even carry weapons. Each of them carries a bamboo basket on their backs. Inside the bamboo basket are irregularly shaped stones. These stones are the key to this battle.

The front of the Imperial Army is lined up with this size, with heavy shield soldiers, transport soldiers carrying stones behind them, and heavy shield soldiers behind them, in a cycle.

As the imperial army advanced, the tribal troops on the walls of the black earth fortress tensed up.

On the edge of the city wall of the fortress, there are large-scale defensive machine crossbows. These machine crossbows are like turrets and are completely forged from metal. If you want to fill this thing with ammunition, you must use a rocking wheel. The rocking wheel looks a bit like an old-fashioned walking tractor. The launch lever, just enlarged the model.

Click, click, click...

The sound of the machine crossbow being wound is continuous. This kind of large machine crossbow cannot be wound in advance, and it will not be fired within 1 minute after it is wound. 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 city wall. There are three dwarves near each machine crossbow. One is in charge of launching, one is in charge of loading, and the other is in charge of winding the wheel. Their movements are neat, and within ten seconds, there are more than 300 machine guns on the wall. Don't think that there are only three hundred machine crossbows on the black earth fortress after the crossbow is wound up. If you look around, there are at least a thousand machine crossbows on the fort. It's just that the battle line is so long that other machine crossbows can't be used. The crossbow has filled this section of the city wall.

Before the imperial army attacked the black soil fortress, it was almost a unilateral massacre by the tribal side. As for the counterattack with arrow rain, it was basically ineffective.

This terrifying weapon of war is called the 'Moat Wheel Crossbow', invented and built by the dwarves.

If the "Mounted Crossbow" only fires ordinary large crossbows, then the tribal side will not use it to defend the fortress. No matter how powerful the crossbow is, it only attacks one point and has little effect on a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people. But the attack range of the 'Mounted Crossbow' is not a single point, but a large area.

"Prepare."

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

When the dwarf bannermen raised their small flags, the imperial army was already approaching the fortress, and the soldiers carrying bamboo baskets rushed out. They untied the bamboo baskets on their backs during the charge, and wanted to dump the stones in the bamboo baskets under the city wall. As long as this 'simple' task is completed, they can retreat to the rear of the army.

Unfortunately, they never had the chance.

"Come on!"

A soldier rushed forward.

"send!"

On the fortress, the dwarves' flag soldiers swung down the chess pieces held high, and the dwarves behind the [-] 'Mounted Crossbows' pulled the triggers forcefully.

Crash, crash, crash...

The crossbow string made a muffled sound. It wasn't that the crossbow string was broken, but that the crossbow string was too strong and was rubbing against the air quickly.

Three-meter-long crossbow bolts shot out. These crossbow bolts are not pointed, but oval arrows, like a large match. There are several rows of reverse air holes in the middle of the crossbow bolt. Once the speed of the crossbow bolt reaches a certain limit, This kind of killing weapon will show its ferocious side.

The entire crossbow arrow body is in a spiral shape, so after the crossbow arrow is fired, it starts to rotate at a high speed.

Ding~
A large crossbow arrow stretched out a circle of 'wings' in mid-air. These are not wings, but thin double-edged blades three meters long.

The crossbow arrows were spinning at high speed, and after the double-edged blades were unfolded, each crossbow arrow turned into a high-speed rotating reamer.

hum~
There was a piercing whistling sound, and hundreds of high-speed spinning crossbow arrows and 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 at all, blood and flesh splashed, and more than a dozen soldiers were chopped into meat in an instant. 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 just right, this thing is like a spinning top.

Mud splashed, stumps flew, and after a round of volleys from the tribal army, a large pile of corpses appeared under the fortress.

"Hahaha."

"These offal."

"Come again."

While the dwarves in the keep laughed loudly, a second volley was ready.

Under the fortress, Carlos, the legion commander, had a stern face, and beside him was a chopped crossbow bolt and reamer.

"continue."

Carlos roared, and when he heard the voice of the commander of his own army, the soldiers carrying bamboo baskets roared and rushed forward. Their army commander was watching them, he was someone they admired.

Crash, crash, crash...

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

In less than 2 minutes, the stones under the fortress had been piled up one meter high, but the stones of course had no such effect, and it would be different if the broken corpses were added.

While the dwarves in the fortress were busy reloading their bombs, the elf archers behind the imperial army had been preparing for a long time.

swoosh~
The dense rain of arrows shot towards the top of the fortress in a parabola. Seeing the rain of arrows, the dwarves on the fortress didn't care at all. The original function of the 'City Mooring Crossbow' was not to defend the city, but to deal with it. The rain of arrows from the elves is just difficult to carry, and it is not effective against the light-moving elf archers.

But now it's a siege battle, and the 'Mounted Crossbow' has shown its ability to deal with the rain of arrows.

Before the dense rain of arrows fell in the sky, crossbow arrows and reamers had already rushed forward.

Click, click...

The rain of arrows was twisted into sawdust all over the sky, not only that, those crossbow arrows and reamers flew towards the middle of the imperial army.

The crossbow arrows and reamers landed on the ground, and a large number of soldiers were smashed into meat before they even had time to scream. The situation of the tribal army is very good.

Is it really like this?No, once the stones and piles of 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 large-scale magic did not appear in the armies of both sides, and the fire rain technique and the wind blowing technique never appeared.

It's not that there are no mages in the two camps, but that the ability of spellcasters in this world to fight in groups is not strong. If it is one-on-one, the ability of spellcasters is not weak. As for large-scale magic, that thing has never appeared since the establishment of the empire. Specifically The cause is unknown.

Today's spellcasters seldom participate in wars. They prefer to explore magic, that is, they don't participate in the struggle for power. As for the second-tier contractor mages, they are less likely to master large-scale magic, unless they have special blood or equipment However, the mana value consumed by conventional large-scale magic is also an astronomical figure. To squander mana value in this kind of war is to court death.

The backbone of this world is the army, and every soldier's physical fitness is not weak. Under the pressure of the army, no matter how strong the caster is, he can only pack up and flee.

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

Although the appearance of the Spider Queen in this world is a little unsuitable, under the disguise of the 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 began to show.
