Chapter 529 Fierce Battle
Chapter 538 Fierce Battle
"Kill!" Orcs came like a tide, and huge ladder towers were pushed by trolls towards Lulong Fortress.
"Fire arrows! Shoot those trolls! Don't let the siege vehicles get close!" The captains directed their soldiers to pour their firepower towards the siege vehicles.
Although the entire Lulong Fortress is more than 150 meters high, that is the height of the inner city, and the outer wall of the outer city is only 50 meters high. Those huge siege vehicles can completely send the orc soldiers to the wall of the outer city!
"Fire arrows!" Lafitte Anthony directed the soldiers to shoot at the siege towers below. Those siege towers carrying a large number of soldiers made Lafitte Anthony's brows instantly frown.
"Ding Ling Ding Cang!" Accompanied by a burst of metal knocking sounds, the iron sheet covering the Orc siege tower actually blocked the heavy crossbow's shot.
"Can the Meteor Dragon Tower attack those things?" Lafitte Anthony turned to look at the messengers, because the archers were all distributed in the arrow tower, and the city walls were all full of rapid infantry and city guards. However, nearly 3,000 soldiers were still sparse after being dispersed into the fortress. It was obvious that more than 2,700 soldiers only maintained the most basic operation of the fortress.
"The general has an order that the Fallen Dragon Tower is not allowed to be attacked at will! Our arrows are limited and cannot be wasted on these orcs!" the messenger frowned and said to Lafitte Anthony.
"Hot! What the hell..." Lafitte Anthony looked at the hill-like siege tower with anger in his eyes.
"Hoo!" a whistle sounded.
Lafitte Anthony only saw a shadow flash past, and the next second the indestructible siege tower was missing its upper half. After preparation, the trebuchet of the fortress arrow tower poured out its anger again!
"Well done!" Lafitte Anthony waved his arms excitedly. Obviously, the stones with powerful kinetic energy are not comparable to those crossbow arrows!
"Chi chi chi!" Streams of bright light criss-crossed across the sky, and the heavy crossbows, which had impressive attack effects, shot towards the siege tower that had lost its upper half as if they had smelled bloody sharks.
Chaotic arrows ricocheted in the small cabin, and the broken iron sheet became the culprit in killing them. Soon the entire siege tower was shot into a sieve by the condescending arrow tower!
"Ouch!" With a shrill scream, the last troll pushing the siege tower was successfully shot by the arrow tower. The almost scrapped arrow tower quickly stopped, and the black and purple blood inside flowed down the siege tower. It flowed from the cracks in the rough logs of the tower, and soon formed a puddle of blood!
"Shoot!" Lafitte Anthony roared ecstatically.
…
"The Orcs' offensive has been contained, but we don't feel comfortable either!"
"A large amount of magic crystals are consumed, and our shield only activates city protection and does not extend outward, which means that the orcs will be able to get close to our city wall soon!" Renault said anxiously.
"Roar!" The half-orcs' shrill war cry made Renault more and more uneasy. The Nazgul standing by and watching made Renault even more like Alexander! After all, as long as the Ring Spirits don't take action, those Falling Dragon Towers can't move lightly! That is currently the only weapon in the entire Lulong Fortress that can damage the sixth level!
"Pay attention to changing defenses! Tell the soldiers when they should rest! We need a protracted battle!" Renault warned the messengers. He could imagine how the soldiers in the arrow towers would tirelessly send out the arrows in their hands, fierce battles It's a challenge for both humans and half-orcs!
…
"Damn it! The orcs almost touched the moat!" Luke Leopold said to Renault with lingering fear.
As the orcs retreated, several leaders came to Renault to meet and communicate. The orcs under the city had faded away like a tide, leaving only dead and injured corpses and destroyed siege towers. Lower wooden towers are scattered on the ground in various forms. One thing they all have in common is that they all contain a large number of orc corpses...
Facts have proved that the indestructible siege towers that Lafitte Anthony encountered were completely accidental. Not every siege tower had thick iron sheets. Many orcs who were dressed as candied haws said that these things were very defensive. The right to speak, but the most outrageous thing is that when some siege towers are attacked, the iron plates on the outside will fall off, revealing the log tower cart inside. At this time, the heavy crossbows of the Battanian shooters will focus their fire to take care of them. In an instant The thin-skinned siege tower with large fillings began to "splash with juices".
However, Renault said that he had seen even more outrageous things, such as a siege tower that fell apart while walking... and directly killed a giant troll pushing a cart behind it.
"Let the soldiers take the time to rest! Tell the soldiers in the kitchen to prepare hot soup for everyone!" Renault grabbed a messenger and ordered.
Soon the city began to smell fragrant, bowls of thick soup made from smoked dried meat were delivered to everyone, and hard dry bread was also shared by everyone. This kind of dried meat was eaten by everyone. The transparent bread needs to be cut with a knife, and then soaked in soup to soften it for swallowing. This is Roland's sudden idea to make a Chinese version of dry food based on compressed biscuits. The bread mixed with grains and nut foam is extremely dry and hard. But absolutely delicious and nutritious.
After finishing their meal quickly, everyone immediately went to sleep with their armor, leaving only a few surveillance troops. The others took advantage of the dawn to sleep for a while. After all, night was the best protective color for the orcs, and they did not dare to rest like this.
…
"Part of the moat has been filled in!" Renault said quietly to the other three people. The moat outside Lulong Fortress was built behind them. The ten-meter-wide moat surrounding the city is indeed like a natural moat for those heavy equipment, but today I touched the moat. The orc troops on the edge have filled in a small part of the moat.
After speaking, Renault looked down and saw that one-third of the moat in one section of the moat had been filled in by orcs with sand, wood, or even the corpses of orcs!
"We may have to fight hand to hand in two days at most! Tell the soldiers, I hope everyone is prepared!" Renault said bitterly.
"The shield cannot be turned on infinitely. The current magic crystal reserve is only enough for us to block the attacks of those siege equipment. The orcs who attack the city are no longer able to use the shield to stop them." Renault told another bad news. Originally, everyone You can hide behind the shield and attack the orcs blocked by the shield in one direction, but now... the soldiers can only learn how to drive the orcs away.
"I have some here! It should be enough to last three days!" Lafitte Anthony suddenly said, and after finishing speaking, he took out a bag with magic crystals in it that was making a tinkling sound.
"Why are you looking at me? As a direct descendant of the Anthony family, how come there is a shortage of magic crystals?" Lafitte Anthony scratched his head and smiled.
