Chapter 350: Fortification
"Watch defensively." Bloy exclaimed, his own power rising all around his body. At the same time, the imprint is floated, activating the ability "Focus". The highlanders sprinted with their hammers in their towels, ignoring the rain of bullets.
In fact, bullets fired from flintlocks/guns are of limited power. Those metal projectiles couldn't break through Bloy's body protection power, and at best, they caused some flesh wounds. Unless you shoot a rifle in the eye of a highlander, you can't inflict fatal damage.
As for the Flame Soldiers, they activate the shield directly. Since it is not possible to assemble the Honor Barrier while moving, it is actually no longer necessary to use the Honor Barrier in the face of a normal fire/gun.
After blocking a round of shots, the Flame Warriors began to fight back. The raging rifle roared like a ferocious beast, and the dull and rough sound of the gunfire made Mogu's heart beat hard when he heard it. He had never heard such a muffled voice, and when he turned to look over at Bloy, he saw the Flame Rifle sweeping out the whips, and gently swept the Thunder Knight off his horse. The armor on the knight's body could not stop the bullet from penetrating at all, and their level six or seven source power was not enough to defend against the high-powered bullets fired by the Raging Fire Rifle.
But in the blink of an eye, the squadron of knights of the Angry Thunder has been killed and wounded. Only the captain was quite skilled, and when he saw the shape, he turned over and dismounted, and then rolled out close to the ground, dodging the roaring whip of the raging rifle.
The captain had just stood up in shock, and the pressure on his head suddenly increased. Looking up, the Hammer of Forbidden Destruction was pressed down like a mountain, and the captain screamed. Rolling with all his might, the hammer smashed to the ground, and the terrible impact spread along the ground, bouncing the captain up. Bloy smiled and swung his hammer with a sweep. The captain raised his knife and screamed, but he swept Bloy away with a knife.
"Rush!" Bloy yelled, directing the Flame Warriors at full speed toward Stormtown's artillery positions.
Mogu snorted and yelled, "Stop them." ”
Two squadrons of infantry and one team of gunners were out of formation, and the gunners were trained to reload and fire their guns to cover the tempest infantry on their side. Seven of the Flame Warriors were divided into seven men to shoot at the enemy, and their Flame Rifles were far from the Flintfire Rifles in Storm City in terms of power and range. Despite their small numbers, the firepower that can be formed overwhelms Storm City.
Bloy took the opportunity to plunge into the opposing infantry with the rest of his men, and the Hammer of Forbidden Destruction danced like a wheel, and the Highlanders opened the way for the soldiers like a humanoid storm. The soldiers in the rear, escorted by the Bloy tank, were able to open up and shoot. The flickering light of fire advanced all the way, and soon rushed out of the scattered infantry regiment.
At this time, they were very close to the shelling position. Mogu couldn't sit still any longer, and personally led an elite team to kill. Bloy stopped there, and said with a smile: "Blew up their artillery." ”
The flame soldiers flipped out their hands/thunders, aimed at the artillery position and threw them vigorously, and the hands/thunders crossed the heads of Mogu and the others and fell on the position of the camp artillery. The flames flickered and exploded, sending flames that not only engulfed the artillery of Storm City, but also blew the artillery to the ground.
Mogu looked at this qiē in disbelief, he didn't even know what Bloy was throwing at them.
As soon as the blow was successful, Bloy immediately withdrew with his men. At the same time, Roy, who was responsible for attracting the attention of Storm City, also led the remaining cavalry back to Sur City. Mogu hurried back to the shelling position, looking at the artillery pieces that had been blown up one after another. After a moment of silence, he said gloomily: "The whole army is attacking!" ”
Roy returned to the wall and watched as the enemy forces crushed the city. I knew that the next battle would not be as easy as before, but blowing up the opponent's artillery could be regarded as reducing the pressure on the defensive line. It's just that since there is no arsenal in Sur City, the ammunition of the Flame Warriors has been constantly depleted. The round of attacks just now consumed a lot, and looking at it like this, if there are two or three more rounds of attacks, the standard bullets should be exhausted.
"We need an arsenal." Roy muttered.
He exhaled, focused his attention on his present form, and began to lay out the defenses. He decided to adopt a strategy of sticking to it, even if Suer City had a greater advantage in high-end combat power, but the lack of ordinary soldiers was an obvious shortcoming. They've recruited a bunch of new recruits before, but they're still nowhere near as large as Storm City.
The only thing that can be sustained is the defense provided by the raised wall, and the fire suppression of the Flame Soldiers.
The battle soon began.
Without artillery support, Stormcity can only force its way through the walls of Sur. Mogu adopted a modest approach, with infantry regiments acting as the main force of the attack and gun/gun teams providing fire support in the rear. The highly mobile cavalry harassed and guerrilla warfare, and looked like there was nothing to show for it. However, against Sur City, which is inferior to his own troops, Mogu does not need any strange tactics at all, as long as he fights steadily and slowly polishes the strength of Sur City.
However, the tenacity of Suer City also left a deep impression on Mogu. All of their soldiers cowered behind the towering wall, using only the firing holes to attack the troops under the city. Mogu was glad that Sur didn't have defensive firepower like repeating guns, and that the few heavy crossbows they had were a limited threat. On the contrary, it was those extremely powerful guns, which made Mogu care very much.
Whenever the sounds of these fires/guns rang out, Mogu always looked nervously at the battlefield. At this point, he would see a large number of infantry swept to the ground, and there was no way to do it. After all, the other party is condescending, if the previous three-meter guard wall, Mogu can completely let his elite warriors cross the wall to kill the enemy, create chaos, and finally open the city gate.
But now that the height of the wall has been doubled, it is necessary to use the tools of climbing the city to achieve the set strategic goals. However, every attempt by the Tempest Corps to enter the city will sweep away the terrifying fire/guns of the opponent. Mogu had no choice but to order the Thunder Knight to take over the work of the Tempest Infantry.
As a result, the pressure on the city of Sur has increased greatly.
Those Thunder Knights generally have a level of six or seven levels, and they can't jump up the six-meter-high guard wall, but with a simple tool, they can quickly climb it. In particular, several knight captains were able to quickly climb the wall without even using tools, just by digging into the wall with the swords in their hands.
As soon as the enemy knights reached the wall, the original soldiers of Sur were no match for them. Blood flowers began to bloom in the city, and Roy made a quick decision to join the battle with Broy, Belmode, and others. Even Lucy and Edward were involved in the battle, and by this time, the war was finally in full swing.
There were shouts of killing all around, but Roy's mood was unusually calm. The battlefield is his stage, and here, Roy is quiet and peaceful. He was like a killing machine, the war hammer flew over, the hand cannon roared, and the enemies were smashed to death and blown away. It was only in the splash of blood that he could find the meaning of his own existence.
So a smile gradually appeared on his solemn face. This smile fell into the eyes of his opponent, and it was undoubtedly a demonic grin.
After smashing another Thunder Knight away, Roy's eyes flashed with a man with an ancient face. Reg looked at the gray-eyed man in front of him with a solemn expression, and on him, Reg felt a huge pressure. He took a deep breath, and a burst of source light surged from the knight's sword, and he immediately slammed his sword towards Roy.
Roy's back light pattern swept away, creating an engraving that took up almost the entire back. It was a bust of a man armed with a war hammer and shield, the "King of the Battlefield". Roy's speed suddenly doubled when the marker appeared, and it was the ability "Charge" generated by the sign. It boosts Roy's speed, and when Roy sprints in a straight line, his speed is tripled!
Facing Roy, who suddenly accelerated, Regg's heart sank. But there was no panic, and the knight's sword swung out, slamming it at Roy's chest.
Roy's hammer swept abruptly, clashing with the knight's sword. The source forces of the two sides collided to form an invisible impact, which rushed the nearby soldiers of the enemy and us to an unstable foothold. Reg whispered, "Savage fellow," and lunged forward, intending to get close to Roy so that he could not use the power of the long-handled hammer. Unexpectedly, as soon as he pounced, he suddenly saw Roy raise his right arm, and Reg realized that this guy's right hand had been modified into some kind of cannon port.
The lines of the hand cannon lit up, and a ball of light spit out from the muzzle, and immediately exploded on the guard wall.
In the light of the explosion, Reg flew back. Roy pounced from the flames, and the hammer struck his chest. The hammer had an invisible force field on its body, so solemn that Reg couldn't breathe. The Captain of the Knight defended with all his might, but still gave Roy a hammer and slammed it down the wall.
Falling to the ground and unloading the fall with a few rolls, Reg still spat out a mouthful of blood. Hateful glanced at the city wall, and wanted to go to the city to fight again, but heard the signal to withdraw the troops. He could only look at Roy unwillingly, pick up his sword, mount his horse, and retreat with the army.
In this battle, Storm City left nearly 200 corpses, but it was unable to knock on the gates of Sur City. The city of Sur also lost a number of soldiers, three of whom were flamefighters who would never return to Earth. While Roy was counting the battle damage, he silently took off the equipment from the three soldiers. Their magic equipment has not been damaged too much, and it is believed that when Alan returns, it will be able to be used after repair.
In the wilderness of Sur City, the army of Storm City began to set up camp in a pattern of besieging the city for a long time. Anyway, today's battle is finally over, which is a relief for the soldiers on both sides. However, as night fell, some sparkling fluorescent lights began to drift across the wilderness, and the veterans knew that the beasts of the night were sometimes more dangerous than humans, so the soldiers in charge of the night did not dare to relax.
In the woods less than a kilometer from Sur City, Bai burrowed out of the edge of the forest and looked at the firelight outside Nasur City in the distance, where Storm City's camp was located. R1058
