Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 742 Siege

Boom, boom, boom...

The exciting sound of war drums came from behind the Imperial Army. At this moment, the Empire's army of more than 300,000 people was advancing towards the Black Earth Fortress.

Facing the towering pitch-black city wall, the imperial soldiers were not afraid, but maintained an orderly queue and advanced at a constant speed.

At the front of the imperial army is a large row of heavy shield soldiers. The shields in their hands are tilted upwards. There will be no enemies in the front. The fatal attack must come from the fortress dozens of meters high.

The soldiers behind the heavy shield soldiers are very special. They wear light armor and don't even carry weapons. Each of them carries a bamboo basket on his back. Inside the bamboo basket are irregularly shaped stones. These stones are the key to this battle.

There was a formation of this size in front of the imperial army. There were heavy shield soldiers, followed by transport troops carrying stones, and then heavy shield soldiers again, and the cycle continued.

As the imperial army advanced, the tribal troops on the walls of the black earth fortress tensed up.

On the edge of the fortress wall are large-scale defensive crossbows. These crossbows are like forts, completely forged from metal. If you want to load this thing, you must use a rocker. The rocker looks a bit like an old-fashioned walking tractor. The starter lever is just an enlarged model number.

Click, click, click...

The sound of the crossbow being cocked was continuous. This large machine crossbow cannot be cocked in advance. If it is not fired within one minute after being cocked, the strong tension of the bow string will deform the crossbow. This shows how terrifying this thing is.

Dwarves were busy on the city wall. There were three dwarves near each crossbow. One was responsible for launching, one was responsible for loading, and one was responsible for winding the rocker. Their movements were neat. In less than ten seconds, more than 300 crossbows were fired on the city wall. The machine crossbows have been wound up. Don’t think that there are only these three hundred machine crossbows in the Black Earth Fortress. Looking around, there are at least a thousand machine crossbows in the fortress. However, the battle line is so long that other machine crossbows cannot be used. This kind of movable Machine crossbows have already filled this section of the city wall.

Before the imperial army attacked the Black Earth Fortress, it was almost a unilateral massacre by the tribes. As for the counterattack with arrow rain, it was basically ineffective.

This terrifying war weapon is called the 'City-protecting Heavy Crossbow', and it was invented and built by the dwarves.

If the 'City Protecting Heavy Crossbow' only fires ordinary large crossbow arrows, then the tribe will not use it to defend the fortress. No matter how powerful the crossbow arrow is, it only attacks one point and has little effect on a battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people. But the attack range of the 'City Protecting Heavy Crossbow' is not a single point, but a large area.

"Prepare."

A dwarf, almost wrapped in an iron barrel, stood on a high place, holding a small red flag.

When the dwarf flag soldiers raised their small flags, the imperial army was already approaching the fortress. The soldiers carrying bamboo baskets rushed out. During the charge, they took off the bamboo baskets on their backs and wanted to dump the stones in the baskets under the city wall. As long as they complete this 'simple' task, they can retreat to the rear of the army.

It's a pity that they don't have this chance at all.

"Come on!"

Soldiers rushed forward one after another.

"hair!"

On the fortress, the dwarf flag soldiers waved the chess pieces held high, and the dwarves behind the three hundred 'city-protecting heavy crossbows' pulled the triggers hard.

Collapse, collapse, collapse...

The crossbow string made a muffled sound. This was not because the crossbow string was broken, but because the force of the crossbow string was too strong and it quickly rubbed the air.

Crossbow arrows more than three meters long are shot out. These crossbow arrows are not pointed, but oval arrows, like a large match. There are several rows of reverse air holes in the middle of the crossbow. Once the speed of the crossbow reaches a certain limit, This kind of killing weapon will show its ferocious side.

The entire crossbow arrow body is in a spiral shape, so after the crossbow arrow is fired, it begins to rotate at high speed.

Ding~

A large crossbow arrow stretched out a circle of 'wings' in mid-air. These were not wings, but small double-edged blades three meters long.

The crossbow arrows are rotating at high speed. After the double-edged blades are unfolded, the crossbow arrows turn into high-speed rotating reamers.

Buzz~

A harsh whistling sound came as hundreds of high-speed rotating crossbow reamers attacked the imperial soldiers under the fortress.

The crossbow reamer flew into the crowd and began to cut into the human body. The armor could not protect it at all. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and more than a dozen soldiers were chopped into minced meat in an instant. This was not the end, because the tip of the crossbow reamer was round. After landing, it will continue to strangle the enemy. If the angle is just right, this thing will be like a top.

Mud splashed, body parts flew everywhere, and after a volley of fire from the tribal army, a large number of corpses appeared under the fortress.

"Hahaha."

"These offal."

"Come again."

While the dwarves on the fortress laughed loudly, the second volley was ready.

Under the fortress, Legion Commander Carlos looked stern, and next to him was a chopped crossbow arrow reamer.

"continue."

Carlos roared angrily and heard the voice of his own legion commander. The soldiers carrying bamboo baskets roared and rushed forward. Their legion commander was looking at them. He was the man they admired.

Collapse, collapse, collapse...

The second round of salvo fire began on the fortress. Although the imperial soldiers suffered heavy casualties, under the leadership of Legion Commander Carlos, batches of soldiers rushed forward without fear of death.

In less than two minutes, the stones under the fortress had been piled up to one meter high. Of course, the stones did not have this effect. It would be different if broken corpses were added.

While the dwarves on the fortress were busy loading ammunition, the elven archery team behind the imperial army had been preparing for a long time.

Whoosh~

A dense rain of arrows shot towards the top of the fortress in a parabola. Seeing these rain of arrows, the dwarves on the fortress didn't care at all. The purpose of the 'City Protecting Heavy Crossbow' was actually not to defend the city, but to deal with it. The rain of arrows from the elves was difficult to carry, and it was not effective against the light-moving elven archery team.

But now it was a siege battle, and the 'City Protecting Heavy Crossbow' showed its ability to deal with the rain of arrows.

Before the dense rain of arrows in the sky fell, the crossbow arrow reamers were already coming forward.

Click, click...

The rain of arrows was twisted into sawdust all over the sky, and not only that, those crossbow arrow reamers flew towards the middle of the Imperial Army.

The crossbow reamer hit the ground, and a large number of soldiers were minced into pulp before they even had time to scream. The situation of the tribal army was excellent.

Is it really like this? No, once the pile of stones and corpses under the fortress reaches a certain height, the imperial army will rush to the fortress and start hand-to-hand combat.

The strange thing is that there is no large-scale magic in the armies of both sides. The fire rain spell and the wind blast spell have never appeared.

It’s not that there are no mages in both camps, but that the spell casters in this world are not very strong in group combat. In one-on-one situations, the spell casters are not weak in ability. As for large-scale magic, that thing has never appeared again since the establishment of the empire. Specifically The reason is unknown.

Today's spellcasters rarely participate in wars. They prefer to explore magic, that is, they do not participate in the struggle for power. As for the second-level contractor mages, they are even less likely to master large-scale magic, unless they have special blood or equipment. , the mana consumed by regular large-scale magic is also an astronomical figure. To squander mana wantonly in this kind of war is to seek death.

The backbone of this world is the army, and every soldier is physically strong. Under the pressure of the army, no matter how strong a spellcaster is, he can only pack up his bed and flee.

At this time, Su Xiao was in the middle of the imperial army, on a higher hillside, and he was holding the Spider Queen.

Although it is a bit inconsistent for the Spider Queen to appear in this world, under the guise of Samsara Paradise, other soldiers only think that this is Su Xiao's special ability, similar to alchemy or magic.

Of course, Su Xiao was not the only one using sniper rifles on the battlefield. In this special battle, the contractor's influence on the war began to show.
