Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The ten siege phalanxes pressed forward step by step on the offensive route of the ironclad chariots, the trebuchets and the goblin artillery brigade followed closely in front of the phalanx, and the viper commanded the ten players to open the way in front of the ironclad chariots and slowly drive towards the north gate.
The distance was getting closer and closer, and everyone was slightly nervous and held their breath, this was the first tactical exercise of using the ironclad chariot as a siege knife, and everyone was looking forward to it.
When the ironclad chariot was still a thousand yards away from the city gate, the viper, which was leaning out of the chariot, raised its arms and made a pause gesture.
A thousand yards is the maximum effective range of the ironclad chariot!
"Calibrate the range! Prepare ......"
The turret on the top of the chariot slowly moved, and the thick barrel slowly lifted upward, aiming at both sides of the gate.
Valantis' gates were twenty yards wide and fifteen yards high, and were made of steel like the bloody jaws of a giant beast.
On both sides of the gate, near the head of the city, two huge steel cable winches stretched out, on which were coiled arm-thick iron cables, and the other end of the iron cable was tightly fastened to the steel suspension bridge that was a few points larger than the city gate.
Now the drawbridge is pulled up high, hiding the city gate behind, if you want to attack the city, you must first knock down the drawbridge, otherwise just fill the wide and deep moat, Ye Feng will have to pay a huge price.
The intention of the viper was to use heavy artillery to break the iron cable and lower the drawbridge. In this way, the ironclad chariots can attack the city gate with flat fire, and once the city gate is destroyed, the ten siege phalanxes can drive straight into the city to establish positions, and the subsequent siege army can continue to pour into Valantis.
"Put!"
The mobile turret of the ironclad chariot suddenly gushed out a dazzling incandescent light, and the black and shiny barrel of the cannon rushed to the muzzle, and the sound of the arc was as dense as fried beans, and the white light became more and more intense, as if a sun bloomed with a dazzling white light......
After an interval of five seconds, the charge was completed, and with a bang, the ironclad chariot trembled violently, and ten bucket-thick beams shot out of the cannon muzzle, silently hitting both sides of the city gate.
Then the beam hit accurately, instantly splitting into countless white rays of light as if a falling galaxy covered the entire city gate, and a defensive arrow tower on the head of the city was affected, and suddenly it shattered as if it had been decomposed, and then turned into powder, disappearing without a trace in that white light.
Ye Feng smacked his tongue secretly, waved his fist excitedly, and picked up the treasure, ***, this is clearly a pocket version of the magic crystal cannon that can be charged!
With the cracking sound of cracks and the roar of various sounds, the white light curtain scattered by the ten beam cannonballs quickly disappeared.
The noose winch that fixed the drawbridge was still firmly nailed to the city, but like the city wall that was attacked by the ironclad chariots, there were fine cracks, and although the defense was strong, if the ironclad chariots bombarded it, it would collapse sooner or later.
In addition, the arrow towers at the head of the city and several crossbows guarding the city were purified into powder by the beams, including more than a hundred archers.
"Damn, such power? This is also called a tank? The Viper muttered discontentedly, not satisfied with the power of the ironclad chariot. In the assumption of this goods, after a round of shelling, the city gate collapsed into broken bricks.
Ye Fengxin said that how could the great god of the system allow such an anti-heaven existence to appear, the power of the ironclad chariot should be sharper than the trebuchet, but it was not so big as to bluff people to the point of surrendering the city. It's so loud, other players are still playing a fart.
Rao so, the power of the ironclad chariot's round of shelling to crack Valantis still scared the defenders of Valantis enough. Others don't know, but they understand it very well as the elite of Garera's lineage.
The city wall made of square boulders is not enough, but the two huge drawbridge winches are blessed by expert enchanters to strengthen the defense array, usually even if they are bombed with thunderbolt trebuchets, without four or five thunderbolts, they don't want to destroy the defense array, but now they are only subjected to a round of shelling by these iron cover cars, and there are cracks, and these never-before-seen siege equipment are unimaginably powerful.
These elite defenders, who had always been rampant on the grassland, were shocked for a while, and their faces, which had been slightly blackened by the scorching sun, became as pale as paper, and they were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses in the loud shouts of the city defense officers.
"Pull up the trebuchet, shoot back immediately, knock off these iron lumps, quick! Hurry up ......"
There was a stir on the top of the city, and one by one they were hidden behind the battlements, and the half-wood and half-iron trebuchets were pushed up, and they were thunderbolt trebuchets!
The movements of these operators are very skillful, the projection rod is pulled to the end, the ammunition hand next to them lifts up a circle that is round and larger than a watermelon, and the shells with black and purple appearance are handed to the operator and stuffed into the bag!
Ye Feng's eyes were sharp, and he was just about to command, but he saw that Haoqing Tianzong stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the tank masters such as Wu Yue, Proud and Traceless, Silent Lion, and Yijian Wash Chunqiu each led a team of tanks from the back of the ironclad chariot to the front of the car, and then shouted, the shield was deeply inserted into the ground, and the in-situ defense skill of the tank profession - hold the position!
Ten tanks stood in front of each ironclad chariot, and the shields were connected to form a small shield array, firmly protecting the ironclad chariots.
Although the shield array composed of pure tank classes has a strong protective ability, it is still difficult to resist the long-range strike of the Thunderbolt trebuchet, as long as they are hit by a thunderbolt, these tank masters will definitely die on the spot, and they are obviously cannon fodder. However, because they divided the explosive power of the thunderbolt, it was impossible for the thunderbolt to cause a little more damage to the ironclad chariot.
Ironclad chariots are very important in Ye Feng's future strategic deployment, and they must not be lost, as long as they can be preserved intact in the war, then they will play an unimaginable role in the future.
The master hangs up, and a training group composed of turret mages will soon be able to train the level back, and if these ironclad chariots are damaged, it will really be gone. You must know that Yun Zisu, who has trained engineering and mechanics to the master level, is not capable of repairing these chariots, Ye Feng estimates that among the many talents under his command, only Chris, the Golden Hand, has that ability, but Chris has only one, and he is still an NPC. Therefore, Ye Feng would rather use the half-level experience of a tank master to resist the Thunderbolt trebuchet than risk testing the protection ability of the ironclad chariot.
At this moment, there was a shout from the top of the city, the projection rod bounced high, and more than a dozen thunderbolts with a screaming sound of breaking through the air were like black meteors whistling towards the ironclad chariot group.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they stared at the thunderbolts whistling in the air with wide eyes, and they all secretly sweated.
Bang......
The deafening sound of the explosion roared endlessly, and the explosion point was a hundred yards in an area, the air waves rolled, the earth splashed, and the exploding shrapnel exploded in all directions, and the power was extremely amazing, but it was a pity......
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, but unfortunately, the area where the thunderbolt fell was still more than a hundred yards away from the chariot group, and it couldn't hurt the ironclad chariot at all.
Ye Feng patted his forehead in annoyance and happily, the range of the Thunderbolt trebuchet was only a hundred yards greater than that of an ordinary trebuchet, even if it had a large range bonus, it was impossible to hit the ironclad chariot a thousand yards away.
It's a bit neurotic to care.
On the other side, Viper relieved himself, raised his goblin tactical binoculars to take a closer look at the destruction of the city walls and the winch, thought for a moment, and made a gesture of dispersing the shelling with his hands apart.
Click......
The turret began to slowly turn again, and then locked onto the walls on either side of the gate.
After a round of test firing, the poisonous snake also saw that the drawbridge and the drawbridge winch and even the blocked city gate were blessed with a defensive strengthening array, instead of wasting energy crystals to attack the drawbridge, it was better to directly attack the city wall with relatively weak defense. Even if Garela is a hundred times more tyrant, it is impossible to bless the defensive circle on the city wall.
Anyway, once the wall of more than 30 yards high was blown down, the collapsed gravel and wood were enough to fill the moat, and the purpose of using the ironclad chariot was to fill the moat and pave the way for the attack, and then open the gap to enlarge the army into the city.
These players who drive ironclad chariots are all selected from the Shenji battalion, and they have been trained by poisonous snakes for a long time, and they have long been familiar with the gestures and tactical commands of poisonous snakes.
"Prepare ......"
This time the viper learned to be obedient, a tail note dragged on for a long time, this thing is no better than the cannon tank in reality, calibrated the target firing distance and said that the cannon will be fired. The basic theory of the design of the ironclad chariot is that it must draw enough energy from the energy crystal to shoot beam shells. For example, just now, the poisonous snake roared out with a rather powerful "release", and the ironclad chariot only shot after five seconds, which made the poisonous snake not embarrassed and very frustrated.
The defenders operating the Thunderbolt trebuchets at the head of the city suddenly stiffened when they saw the two guns with their barrels held high, and the muzzles of the cannons gathered a cloud of white light that was more and more dazzling, obviously locking on to their ironclad chariots, and their bodies immediately stiffened, and their faces were like ashes.
People are afraid of death, and they have been given anthropomorphic high intelligence by the god of the system, and the way of thinking is almost indistinguishable from that of people. Fang Cai's death beams left them with an indelible psychological shadow, this is the fear of the unknown, even if they are the elite of Garera's lineage, even if they regard Garera as their only faith, but at the moment of death, there are a few people who can really do not change their faces and see death as home, besides, their arrows have not yet killed an enemy, their scimitars have not yet cut off a head, it is really worthless to die like this.
Fortunately, the ironclad chariot attack requires five seconds of charging, although the time is not long, if the degree is fast enough, there is still hope for barely running out of the strike range.
So Huh, one of the most respectful ammunition men dropped the thunderbolt, and roared "Run, ......" with a heart-rending roar, and then as if it was bombing the camp, more than 200 soldiers hugged their heads and ran, and it was difficult to stop them from surviving even if the officers drew their swords and intimidated.
"Put!"
The poisonous snake accurately grasped the time, and when the five seconds arrived, there was a roar, and ten beams of light spurted out in response.
I heard another dense cracking sound, and the white light was exhausted, and the city wall made of huge stones was blasted out of cracks more than ten centimeters deep, and densely spread from the bottom of the city wall to the battlements.
And the Thunderbolt trebuchet, which was still roaring just now, was naturally shattered in the shelling.
The power of one blow is as powerful as this!
The guild player masters in the back, the NPC soldiers loyal to Ye Feng, and the grassland rebels like a tide cheered together.
"That's what it sounds like!"
The viper grinned happily.
"That's it! Keep attacking and blow it up for Lao Tzu! ”
The pride behind him waved his hand: "The trebuchet presses on, ready to break the city!" ”
Ye Feng quickly calmed down, and there was always a faint worry in his heart, could it be that Garela really didn't have a magic crystal cannon?
