Heart of Empire

From the beginning, the puppet battle was plunged into hardship.

In fact, regardless of ignoring the enemy on one side, it is easy for Verina to solve the threat on the other side.

If the front Malone is not there, she can turn around and eat the Port Guard with Beard directly; if there is no Port Guard behind, she can also organize all the forces on the defense of the city It can also adjust the strength of the Shawan Port to carry out long-term defensive operations. Although it is difficult to repel opponents who are superior in quantity and quality, at least, it will not be a big problem to stick to it for three or five days.

But nothing.

Velina can only rack her brains and maintain two lines of defense, playing quite hard.

After the battle against the Port Guard, she had already given it to her lieutenant Paran, and she herself had to sit in front of the battlefield.

The siege of the Malone Dragon Corps has begun. The six artillery guns no longer have shots against the defensive cannons on the head of the city. Instead, they are diverted targets and start to bombard the gates.

The northern gate of Luansha Bay Port is fairly strong, but no matter how strong the city gate is, it will not be able to withstand the uninterrupted blow of six artillery pieces.

What's more, the Malone's siege weapon is not just artillery. The bumper that pushed it up hits the gate, which is more efficient than artillery. There are also trebuchets that are farther than the striking distance of artillery. Although in terms of strike accuracy, it can be described as "following edge", but even if the boulder is thrown high, it will bring you Considerable damage.

Under such constant bombardment, the pressure on the urban defense of Shawan Port is astonishing.

Not to mention, under such a fierce attack, almost a thousand soldiers, either pushing crash cars or carrying siege ladders, were escaping from the army formation and began to approach the city walls.

射击 "Shoot!" The captains of several squadrons preparing for the crossbow shouted with sweat and hissing, and an arrow shot at the enemy that was approaching from below.

The long-range strike did cause some damage to the opponent, but in general, it could not be regarded as a trauma.

Many of these soldiers who came with siege equipment were equipped with shields. While moving forward, the shields were in front of and in front of the head, which was in preparation for long-range attacks.

Verina doesn't have the elite archer like the Ranger. The crossbowmen in his hand can only shoot arrows at the command of the officer. It is very good to have a disciplined round. Expecting them to be like marksmen, and with a certain distance left, aiming at the gap between the shields to shoot enough threatening arrows, it is really difficult for some strong men.

With a modest loss, the troops of the Malone Corps have been pressed very close. The collision car approached the gate, and the ladder was also carried up.

At this time, the best solution is to dispatch an elite team. Before the enemy's troops can be fully deployed, kill the collision cars and destroy the collision cars. By the way, you can still leave the formation of the ladder ladder troops. Caused a certain amount of injury.

However, Velina does not have such an elite team. These soldiers of the garrison army would have to pull out hundreds of people to open the city gate. It is estimated that it would not be long before they rushed out and they would be beaten back. If the strategic goal is not achieved, the city gate may still suffer direct loss Threat. This is very worthwhile.

But this does not mean that the defense master is not prepared at all.

"The first battalion of the battalion was dispatched as planned."

As soon as the order was issued, the captain of the first group did not immediately execute the order.

"Legion of the legion ... isn't it okay, our team will only dispatch at the most critical time?"

He would ask that, of course for a reason. Verina assigned him the task beforehand, but at that time he could hear his cold sweat.

"Now is the key time," Verina said coldly.

The captain had to take his life.

A few moments later, the crash car was just pushed under the north gate, and before the time was up, the operation of the first group began.

I saw, at the head of the city, a soldier was put into a gondola, and two ropes tied to the gondola began to descend.

The soldiers who stayed in the gondola were shaking and frightened like the gondola. The twenty-meter-high city wall was nothing, looked down at the hanging basket, and looked up at him with his sword, as if the soldiers of the Malone Corps who would chop him into meat sauce when he came It's nothing. The most terrible thing is exactly in his arms.

A black whistling iron ball.

He held the half watermelon big iron ball in his hands, and as the hanging basket slowly dropped, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he quickly lowered his head, and several arrows shot from below were hidden by him.

But one still shot through the gondola and stuck it in his thigh.

The stuff of hanging basket is not solid!

He screamed and shook his hand, almost throwing the iron ball in his hand.

But he finally stabilized.

箭 The arrow on his thigh didn't kill him, but the iron ball did.

This is a cannonball ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Don't think that the artillery shells fired by the art of the Orodik world are solid iron balls, which is very wrong. Artillery is actually a product of alchemy. Although the artillery itself is not high in alchemy technology, the shell is not.

The outer layer of the alchemy cannonball, don't look at it is a whole piece of round cast iron, but it is not. This is a piece of curved iron block that is bonded in a special way and filled with alchemy explosives. After being fired and detonated, the power and impact of the alchemy explosive explosion was not bad. At the same time, the wrapped iron **** were exploded into iron pieces for mass killing.

But the shells are not easy to explode. Except for firing with artillery, it can only be fired and then thrown.

But if it is artificially ignited, it is very different from specially equipped artillery. The most prominent point is that the detonation time is very short, and it is impractical to use a tool to project. The most reliable way is to throw the gun manually, and then run away quickly.

He is like a collision car under the city gate, which is not something that can be obtained by turning the gun on the wall. It can only be done by artificial ignition and then detonating around the collision car.

I can imagine that this soldier on the gondola is responsible for such a mission, how dangerous he is, and how much psychological pressure is in the end.
