Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Dragon's Breath

This grand pass between the orcs and humans has gone through countless wars since its construction. Not only did the years not erode this grand pass, but it has been continuously reinforced for hundreds of years to make the fortifications of the dragon's breath pass more and more perfect. .

In addition to the outer defense lines such as Dongling, two walls were built at the more than ten-mile-wide pass. Among them, there are archery towers, bunkers, trenches, bed crossbows, and trebuchet positions for counterattacks. It has become two ring structures, the widest part is nearly two meters, and the depth is nearly three meters. One is covered with sharp wooden thorns, and the first to fall has almost no chance of climbing out. Flammable dry objects only need to be splashed with oil, and a wall of fire can be quickly burned when they encounter an open flame, which can greatly play a role in blocking the enemy.

And there are even heavy-duty trebuchets more than ten meters high on the two mountain walls, which not only have a long range, but can also throw boulders with a diameter of more than one meter, which can directly destroy the large siege equipment of the attacking party. It will be able to carry out a long-range attack on the opponent.

After approaching the Guancheng, you will encounter thousands of bed crossbows shooting, the firepower intensity can be called abnormal, as for the conventional defensive weapons such as rolling logs, rocks, kerosene, and plug-in knife carts, there are too many number.

Of course, the fundamental factor of war is people. No matter how strong the city defense is, no matter how well-prepared it is, if the army has no combat power and no fighting spirit, then no matter how good the city defense is, it is empty talk, but the army of more than one million at the master of Longxiguan is a human kingdom The elite of the kingdom benefited from the emergence of a large number of Mingjun in the kingdom. Although the kingdom has existed for hundreds of years, the corruption of the ruling class is not too high. Although the army is not as powerful as the founding of the country, it is generally online. If a dynasty in such a state is viewed in ancient China, it may just happen to be in the so-called stage of governance and prosperity.

It stands to reason that such a strong city with a large number of troops with a strong will to fight is absolutely difficult to win, but the war on this continent is far from Cold weapon war is as simple as that.

Not to mention those knights and warriors with extraordinary combat power, just the addition of creatures like giant dragons to the war completely changed the situation of the war. In a sense, the giant dragon is comparable to the existence of fighter jets on the blue star, and it is also a fighter jet that can be used both on land and in air. This thing can not only fight in the sky, but also directly transform into a tank and chase down soldiers on the ground after falling on the ground.

"boom!"

"Dragon!"

"The dragon is coming again!"

"crossbow!"

"God's mighty crossbow is ready!"

The pace of the orcs' attack hardly stagnated. After taking the defense line of Dongling, the orcs only paused for a day to wait for the deployment of the siege equipment. After the siege equipment was in place, they immediately launched the first pass against Longxi. attack.

The trebuchet positions on the cliffs on both sides took the lead to fight back against the attacking orcs. Dozens of giant stone bombs smashed into the orc formations. These stone bombs caused little casualties to the orcs, but they made the orcs who were hit extremely dead Miserably, the huge boulder thrown from a distance of a thousand meters is enough to turn all heavy armor into iron-clad flesh, and it is difficult for warrior-level orcs to avoid this kind of attack.

On the contrary, the kerosene bombs fired among them are more threatening. These kerosene bombs with black smoke in the air fell into the orcs' attacking team and quickly set off a fire several meters high, causing the orcs to produce small-scale explosions from time to time. confusion.

Some boulders even hit a moving well fence accurately. This well fence close to 20 meters was approaching Guancheng like a tall monster, but at the moment it was hit by the boulder, it could have The well fence, which ignored the heavy crossbow shooting, made a bang, and then collapsed on the spot. The scene looked a bit spectacular.

It's just that these heavy trebuchets didn't last long. When they knocked down a well fence, they were immediately regarded as a threat by the orc commander. Several white dragons on the two wings quickly separated from the team and attacked both sides of the city. trebuchet positions.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

The bed crossbows and Shenwei crossbows arranged on the cliffs on both sides have long been ready to shoot at the attacking white dragon.

In fact, there were no giant crossbow guards next to the trebuchet positions on both sides, and there was no need for any guards at all, only a group of soldiers were needed to operate the trebuchets, because the orcs had broken through the first pass before the dragon's breath. It is difficult to get close to the heavy trebuchets on both sides. To make them stop, they have to wait for them to use up their reserves of stone bombs.

But it’s no longer possible. With the help of the white dragon, the orcs have an absolute advantage in the air. Before the infantry broke through the city, the white dragon in the sky began to try its best to remove obstacles for the orcs. Naturally, human officers are also aware of the changes in the war situation. , when arranging the defense, a large number of bed crossbows and divine power crossbows were temporarily allocated near the catapult positions on both sides.

It's a pity that there are not many of these gadgets, and their mobility is not strong. Thousands of divine power crossbows are definitely not enough to defend the defense line that stretches for dozens of miles. Even if it is a key defense, it is difficult to take care of it.

Dozens of giant crossbows were shot from the cliff, but the white dragon in mid-air directly avoided most of the arrows by relying on his agility. The giant crossbows of this era are actually a virtue like trebuchets, and they cannot be expected to follow suit. Modern anti-aircraft guns seem to have too much accuracy, and they can only barely set a direction and range. Only the most experienced crossbowmen can barely improve the hit rate of this huge crossbow.

The first round of the giant crossbow was not without any results. The white dragon rushing to the front on the left wing was pierced into the stomach by a giant arrow because it couldn't dodge in time, and the giant arrow broke through the white dragon's hard scale , plunged more than one meter deep into Bai Longdu's abdomen.

It caused the white dragon to let out a painful roar. In this case, if it was replaced by the cowardly dragons of the previous kingdom's dragon knights, they would probably have to avoid the battle passively when they found that the enemy had the ability to cause fatal damage to themselves, but the white dragon was different. These white dragons, who were pushed into the battlefield by their clan heads, came with the mentality of fighting for their lives when they started the battle.

After the companion was seriously injured, not only did not retreat, but rushed to the catapult positions on the two wings at a faster speed. At this time, the second weakness of the crossbow appeared again. The loading preparation speed was too slow. This design can hurt the dragon. The heavy crossbow, even after Li Cha's optimization, requires several soldiers to wind it together, and it takes at least a minute from loading to re-aiming and shooting.

One minute doesn't seem like a long time, but it is too long in such a rapidly changing battlefield. One minute is enough for the cavalry to complete two charges, and it is also enough for the white dragon to fly the rest of the distance...

Amidst the desperate cries of the soldiers on the two cliffs, fires ignited on the mountains on both sides of the Guancheng. The dragon fell on the mountain.

But the death of a white dragon was completely worthwhile for the orc army at this time. They relieved the threat from the two wings to the attacking army, and the large siege equipment like Jinglan hardly had any threat...

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The stone bombs thrown by the orc trebuchets slapped the city wall of the first pass of Longxi Pass crazily, but this kind of pass, which was built completely according to the terrain, was almost completely immune to the attacks of trebuchets in this era. The vibration did not cause a few vibrations. This kind of majestic pass is more than ten meters long from the base alone. It may not be able to blast away quickly with the cannons of World War II. For it, boulders are no different from tickling.

But it is a very morale-destroying thing to be hit but not fight back. Faced with overwhelming stones, some unlucky ones are always hit and then fall to the ground screaming. This kind of depression makes some people hide in corners to avoid stone bullets The soldiers are eager to fight the orcs hand-to-hand, and they are not waiting for God's will here.

"Ready to fight!"

"Drive me out of the orc!"

Finally, when the orcs got closer and closer to the city wall, the trebuchet also stopped firing. This kind of long-range weapon with impressive accuracy, if it hits it again, it will hit its own people.

"kill!"

A large number of orcs set up extended ladders at the corners. Although they were mentally prepared, many orcs still felt dizzy when they looked up from the bottom of the city. After attacking such a terrifying city, it took almost forty meters to climb up the ladder from the bottom of the wall. It took enough time for human soldiers to wash their heads with kerosene several times.

However, military orders are hard to disobey. No matter how high the city wall is, the orc soldiers who have already come to the city wall cannot retreat, or charge up with weapons or shields.

"Raigi!"

"put!"

"boom!"

"ah…!"

A few orcs who had climbed halfway up the ladder were directly smashed down by the wooden ring. They were basically either dead or disabled when they fell to the ground at this height. Of course, the defenders on the city were even more ruthless.

"Here, pour the golden juice down for me!"

"Zi!!"

"ah!"

The boiling gold juice poured down is even scarier than kerosene, and all the orcs who were splashed were rolling all over the ground. The horror of this thing is that it will not only burn, but also cause a lot of infections. The orcs are almost primitive. Basically, if you are doused with golden juice, you will be sentenced to death. The only problem with using golden juice is that there is a stench on the city wall. The soldiers operating on both sides even have to cover their noses with wet cloths to be normal. breathe.

The orcs' ant-attached siege had caused a lot of casualties, but everyone knew that this was just the beginning, and the casualties of more than a thousand people could only be regarded as small waves in a war of this scale.

"boom!"

The real siege monster finally approached the gate of Longxiguan not long after the ladder was erected. This kind of siege well with the same height as Longxiguan is actually quite difficult to build. The structure is stable, and the requirements for craftsmanship will become higher and higher, which cannot be built by ordinary craftsmen. In the round of attacks before the Dragon's Breath, there were as many as ten of these giant well fences...

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

When Jinglan was approaching Guancheng, the crossbowmen on Jinglan shot down many human soldiers on the city wall first, and then the wooden planks connecting Jinglan and the city wall hit the wall and caused a loud noise.

"kill!"

Without any pause, a large number of elite orcs rushed out of Jing Lan's belly.

"clang!"

The first batch of orc warriors who were able to take the well to the city were all elites, and the leaders were all warriors and even masters of the great warrior rank. They almost jumped over the three-meter-long passage and fell on the city wall, fighting with the surrounding human warriors. stand up.

Facing the approaching Jinglan, the human defenders would certainly not be unprepared. With the giant arrows unable to destroy the Jinglan, a large number of knights and quasi-knights were already waiting near the Jinglan. The moment the orc warriors stepped up, the strong human They cooperated with the rush to suppress the orcs with all their strength, did not give the opponent too much space, and tried their best to limit the opponent's range of activities.

For a while, a fierce offensive and defensive collision fell into a stalemate. This kind of stalemate is actually quite unfavorable to humans. As the attacker, the orcs had already fought humans on the city wall shortly after the war started. Come on, the casualties of human soldiers are much higher than that of orcs. According to this rhythm, the orcs will wear down the defending humans sooner or later...

…

However, this stalemate did not satisfy Gro.

In the distance, Gero held a spear in one hand, looking at the battlefield where there were constant fighting in the distance. Almost every second, double-digit orc warriors fell from the city wall or lost their lives.

But in the eyes of Gero, this is nothing more than a normal thing. What he is dissatisfied with is the slow progress of the entire attack...

"Chief Isir, let the white dragon go up."

"Hmph..."

Isir, who was on the side, rang a little dissatisfied, but in the end he still did not reject Gero's proposal. Hundreds of white dragons rushed towards the city wall against the huge arrows on the pass. This is an army that can directly break the stalemate. the power of……
