Rise of the Empire Total War

Woo--

The next day, the coalition attack came again.

Standing behind the wall, the Danish lieutenant general Toolagris was dressed all over his body, and personally commanded the soldiers in this section of defense. Looking out along his line of sight, the Bundak coalition forces were like a flood rolling up tall attacking troops. The city tower and a ladder rushed towards the dam of the city wall of Bell Harbor.

Although this is not the first battle, he still has unspeakable tension in his heart. He turned his head to look at the Nordic archers and crossbowmen beside him, swallowed to moisten his parched throat, and then clenched his fist Ax pointed at the siege cannons deployed on the city wall, and shouted: Load the shells and prepare to shoot!

call!

With a shout, the artillery operator first poured gunpowder into the barrel, then lifted a heavy solid iron ball from the wooden frame on the side, and stuffed it into the barrel of the siege artillery. The pounding stick was poked into it, and the iron ball and gunpowder were compacted hard, and it was pulled out after several movements back and forth.

Prepare!

The voice of Tooragris sounded again, and the soldiers standing behind the artillery quickly inserted the matchlock into the small hole on the top of the barrel. This small hole went straight to the inside of the barrel. As long as the matchlock was ignited, sparks would enter the inside of the barrel along the rope. The gunpowder is ignited, and the cannonball is ejected.

Looking at the enemies who ran into the range of the artillery, Tooragris swallowed again, opened his big mouth with a mouthful of rotten teeth, and shouted loudly: Light it up, shoot!

呲——

boom! ! ! !

After the torch was lit, the surrounding soldiers quickly covered their ears. Then, a deafening bang was heard. The city wall under their feet began to tremble violently. It slammed into the running coalition army formation, and in the next second, countless soldiers blocking the trajectory of the artillery shells were torn and crushed, and human stumps, broken arms and fragments were sprinkled on the land with the rain of blood. , They didn't even have time to let out the last scream, and they became excellent fertilizers to moisten the land.

With the sound of the first cannon, the cannons on the entire Port Bell city wall roared angrily one after another. The deadly shells flew at high speed in the air, and then fell into the crowd, plowing out bloody roads. One of the shells directly hit the slowly advancing siege tower, and instantly penetrated the body of the siege tower. Then, under the terrified eyes of the surrounding soldiers, the siege tower collapsed, knocking the soldiers under it to pieces. Together with the soldiers in the tower, they were buried in the dust rising from the sky.

Archers ready!

shooting!

The roaring artillery did not stop the coalition soldiers from attacking,

Just after they entered the range of the bow and crossbow, the heart-piercing screams of the officers sounded on the city wall, and groups of archers and crossbowmen raised their weapons reflexively, and sent a round of fire to the sky following the order of the officers. There was a rain of arrows in the dark, and these arrow rains traced beautiful trajectories in mid-air, and then fell into the crowd.

Ignoring the results of the first round of volley, the archers drew arrows from the quiver at their waists, raised their bows and pointed them obliquely into the air, while the officers among them raised their sabers high, and then slashed them down heavily, roaring :shooting!

In the next second, the archers let go of their thumbs hooked to the bowstring, and sent the arrows into the air again. Compared with the first round, they tended to make a tentative volley, and the second round of shooting obviously caused more damage to the enemy. The arrows that fell like raindrops hit the shields raised by the soldiers of the coalition army and made clanging noises. From time to time, some soldiers were shot by the arrows at a tricky angle and fell to the ground with a scream, and some soldiers' shields were pierced by arrows. , the iron arrow nailed the shield and the wrist below to death, and blood gushed out, staining their bodies red.

Attack! Attack!

Among the crowd, an officer of the Kingdom of Winster shouted to the surrounding soldiers. There were several arrows pierced into the shield he held high, and one of them even penetrated the shield, only a few centimeters away from his hand. The army's crazy arrow rain poured down, and he had nothing to do but pray to the gods at this moment.

what!!!!

At this moment, a soldier in front of him was shot in the chest by an arrow piercing through the gap between the shields. After letting out a painful scream, he subconsciously let go of the shield, exposing himself to the shooting sight of the defenders. , Officer Winster and the surrounding soldiers quickly dragged him into the shield formation, which prevented him from being shot into a hedgehog. At this time, looking at the position where he was standing just now, he had already inserted a few An arrow whose wings were still trembling slightly.

Take him back quickly! Officer Winster ordered to a soldier. Before the latter could respond, they only heard the chilling sound of air tearing in midair. The next second, a high-speed spinning The solid iron ball slammed into the crowd, and directly broke the upper body of Officer Winster, who hadn't reacted yet, and then continued to hit the soldiers behind him. The remaining lower body of Officer Winster was still standing there, gushing blood. His blood dyed the surrounding soldiers into blood men, his upper body disappeared, his intestines flew high, and flew a certain distance in mid-air before falling on a shield held by a soldier.

...

Braving the arrow rain and shelling from the defenders, the coalition infantry rushed to the bottom of the city wall of Port Bell. During the distance from the siege camp to the city wall, a large number of coalition soldiers' corpses had been laid, but they didn't care at all. Charged frantically towards the city wall, as if intending to take the city in one fell swoop.

However, this is not possible.

Throw the fuel tank!

On the city wall, Toolagris’ voice sounded again. As soon as he finished speaking, countless clay pots filled with viscous black liquid were thrown from the city wall to the crowded crowd below, and there were crisp cracking sounds, black The viscous liquid immediately sprinkled on many soldiers, they smelled the stench on their bodies and asked, their expressions changed drastically, but before they had time to respond, soldiers with strange iron long pipes stood on the city wall , They aimed the long tubes in their hands at the coalition soldiers who were stained with kerosene below, and in the next second, they heard the sound of popping beans, and the city wall was immediately enveloped in white smoke, and under the city wall, the flames suddenly ignited. Devouring the lives of coalition soldiers whose bodies were stained with fire oil.

Hand artillery retreat, reload ammunition, crossbowmen continue to shoot!

Following the order of Toolagris, those hand artillerymen in fine armor and holding early firearms retreated to the safe back, cleaned up the gunpowder residue in the barrel before pouring new gunpowder, and then put in small gunpowder. Metal projectile, take out the bead and poke it into the barrel.

After they finished loading, some coalition soldiers had already climbed up the ladder, revealing their upper bodies covered by shields!
