total conquest

Chapter 97

As time passed, the magic flame gradually disappeared, leaving only a layer of crystal powder floating on the ground.

"Enemies are attacking the city gate!!" An alarm stopped the cheering of the people on the city wall. The flame head did block the enemy's attack, but this magic did not stop all the predators. There were many people who walked around the city wall, and there were blind spots on the city wall. As long as they ran to the bottom of the wall, they could easily hide themselves.

The strong body made it possible for a dozen people to attack the city and crash the car, which originally required dozens of people to operate. The three city gates were hit at the same time, which made the soldiers guarding the gates terrified.

"Hurry up and send the cavalry to clean them up!" Aiden stretched out half of his body without fear of death, but the door opening embedded in the city wall allowed him to only see the buttocks of the siege engines.

But just as Aiden finished speaking, he heard three loud bangs in a row, and the city gate was broken!
"What's going on! Could it be that the city gate is made of paper?" Ainde immediately rushed down with the mages.

Dozens of looters moved away from the siege vehicles and were dealt with by rows of free militias as soon as they entered the city gate. Equipped with pistols, they had no problem facing lightly armored troops at close range, and the leader was the imperial princess , Anna Roald.

"His Royal Highness, which city gate?"

"I was hit by the ice magic cannon many times outside the door. If it wasn't because it was too thick, I probably wouldn't need a siege vehicle."

"No wonder this ice magic cannon always seems to be almost accurate. It turns out that the ones that hit the city wall are the ones that fly." Aiden said while touching his big bald head.

"Ainde, I have already contacted His Royal Highness Prince Li and informed him of the current situation"

"Your Highness, what did His Royal Highness say? The situation is very critical now. Can Your Highness come back to rescue?" There are too many people in Norsca. Once they rush into the city again, regardless of the outcome, Altdorf will suffer again to fatal blow.

"His Royal Highness is preparing for a decisive battle with Boris, and cannot return to help, but His Royal Highness told us how to use steam tanks to defend the city gate." After Anna finished speaking, she handed Aind a strange sword, and you told him to wait until the end to use it.

…………

The Norscans' second wave of siege troops consisted of Norscan war mastiffs, chariots, and riders, a fast-moving force, and finally the infantry line that followed. It can be said that they attacked across the board.

The three city gates were all destroyed, and the soldiers surrounded the inner city gates in a semicircle formation. The sword and shield warriors were in front and the halberd soldiers were behind. At the same time, each city gate had three tanks, one on the left and one on the right, facing the gate. , the mages who have recovered some have begun to apply blessing magic.

The Norse chariot is equipped with a revolving scythe, and the ground is covered with spikes, which can cause great damage to both infantry and cavalry.The chariot pulled by two long-haired war horses from the north is even faster than the war mastiff.

The long-range troops on the city wall are obviously a little weak in the face of the high-speed moving troops, not to mention the mortars and hellstorm cannons, and they have changed several people underground while flying in the air.

"The chariot is about to enter the city gate!" It was the time of four rounds of shooting, and the Norse chariot had come under the city wall from beyond the range of the artillery.

"The frontal tanks move forward!" Einde ordered the tanks facing the city gate to move forward slowly, and stopped when they reached the gate, and stopped in the middle of the width of the two tanks without entering the gate. .

"Illusion of nothingness!" Gray Mage's low-level illusion magic was cast immediately after the steam tank stopped, directly hiding the tank blocking the door.The chariot is drawn by horses, not giant beasts, so as everyone expected, after the high-speed charging Norse chariot rushed into the city gate, they heard a strong crash and the tragic neighing of the horses. , You hit whatever you want, if your chariot can rush over, the empire loses.

After touching, the gray mage's phantom magic was broken in an instant, and then there was only a bang, and the steam tank directly blasted the chariots that collided together in the city gate. The door basically wiped out all Norsca's chariot troops.

"Flame heads!" Three huge heads with smiling faces appeared on the battlefield again, but now their purpose was to temporarily block the subsequent battle mastiffs and buy time for the rearrangement of the city gate.

"Back—stop! Ainde continued to direct the steam tank to retreat slowly, and Ainde stopped the steam tank after exiting the position of about half a meter from the city gate.

"The other two tanks, move forward!" Then Ai Ende continued to direct the steam tanks on the left and right sides of the inner city gate to move forward. The three tanks blocked the city gate in a concave formation, leaving a gap for two people to pass through on both sides. They could not Block them, otherwise the Norscans will destroy the tanks first and then rush into the city. Even if they can't stop their progress for long, they can't effectively kill them in this narrow space, but if there is a gap, it will be impossible. The same, just like a drainage, letting the Norscans choose to die to the left or to the right.

"Soldiers forward! Put up shields!"

After receiving the order, the sword and shield fighters walked forward very compactly and squatted on the ground. The long spear soldiers in the second row stretched out their spears and placed their shields obliquely on the shields of the previous row, using three tanks as cover The soldiers re-formed a new defensive line of shield walls.

The time for the flame head was only about [-] seconds. After the end, the war mastiff and the Norsca riders rushed to reinforce the chariot with their muskets and arrows on their heads. The war mastiff has a flexible body and super explosive running power. Enter from the left and right sides, jump on the wreckage of the chariot, jump directly onto the steam tank, and fly over the line of the imperial army, but they are greeted by pistol bullets from the Freedom Militia of the Urban Management Brigade, crackling and shooting into the air, The ones that came down were basically dead dogs.

Norscan riders without charge speed can't even match the fighting strength of the war mastiff in this narrow space. With its flexible body, the war mastiff can keep hitting the front line or bite the protruding weapon and tear it. In the end, the riders had no choice but to move from their horses to the steam tanks. At this time, the steam tanks turned their turrets a little bit, and fired three consecutive bombardments at the riders in line. The shells of the three steam tanks could not hit On the low battle mastiff, but the riders on horses were pierced directly by the shells of three tanks. In an instant, the entire city gate was filled with blood, and the stumps were scattered everywhere.And the faster Norscan riders on the steam tank quickly took the handaxe and tried to climb over this line of defense, but of course only death greeted them.

After a while, the second wave of Norsca's mobile troops collapsed under this precise line of defense. How did they come and how did they go back? , It's almost unheard of, is this combat weapon that was once the ultimate power of the empire, now it's rotten?Although the Norsca people know that the empire has regained the manufacturing process of steam tanks, they don't think that this heavy weapon can be mass-produced. Boris didn't tell them, and Zhang Hao is even more impossible...
