Chapter 506, Siege Battle

Behind these nearly 2,000 silver horsemen is a lion cub army of nearly 20,000 people!

Almost every one of these young lion soldiers is armed with muskets, and the quality of the muskets is already on par with the muskets of the Black Crows.

And the defenders saw that in the rear of the enemy, they were pushing a few small cannons! After seeing these cannons, the tension of the soldiers, which had just calmed down, came back to the surface.

"Don't be afraid! Their artillery can't hit far! If they dare to get within range of our defenders, we'll blast them into a pile of debris! ”

It is true that such a small cannon can still be useful in field battles, but in siege warfare its range is far less than that of the fortified cannon mounted on the city wall.

If the other side dares to push those small cannons into range, they will definitely be shot by the defenders first and suffer heavy losses! It seems that those small cannons are only used for maze, just to shake the morale of the defenders.

The enemy stopped outside the firing range of the defenders' batteries and began to change formation.

The silver cavalry lined up at the front of the camp, while the Lion Cubs lined up to protect the wings, and in the middle were catapults and engineering carts, surrounded by many longbowmen and engineers with longbows on their backs.

The initial use and proposal of the engineering army was Klose's idea, and now the three major forces have their own fixed engineering troops.

They are often more effective than they seem! It has been taken seriously by more and more people.

And I have to say that the engineer of the silver lion looks quite powerful, because it is composed of a team of snow-capped mountain giants, and it makes people feel very oppressive just from the momentum.

After the opponent stopped, the main general had already come to the front of the formation, and it seemed that he was mobilizing before the formation.

There were also bursts of roars from the enemy camp, and those silver horsemen also struck the armor on their bodies with the long swords in their hands, making a clanging sound, and each blow seemed to hit the hearts of the defenders, making people can't help but beat faster.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, the enemy camp fell silent, the soldiers on both sides stopped shouting, and the oppressive atmosphere in the air became even stronger.

The enemy's commander turned his horse's head to the fortress, and the defender's general looked at each other in the air, neither of them shouted to each other, because they both knew what they wanted and what they needed to do.

"Rush ~~~~!"

Suddenly, the attacker's main general waved the long sword in his hand, the horn of the charge sounded, and the silver horseman standing in the first row was the first to shoot out! The Lion Cubs on both sides and the engineers in the middle all moved! It's terrifying! The ground seemed to be shook with a thud.

Iron Head swallowed his saliva, this was the first time he had faced such a battlefield and an enemy, although he had also cleaned the battlefield and practiced courage before, but it was one thing to look at the dead, but it was another thing to fight the enemy.

Suddenly, just a minute after the enemy attacked, the defender's commander, Steel Egg, hissed and roared, "Open fire!" ”

"Boom!"

The walls shook with a loud bang, and the iron head felt his ears suddenly deaf, and he could hear no movement other than the buzzing sound.

However, smoke rose above his head, and a fire flashed into the sky! The cannons have spewed out terrifying fiery snakes, and cannonballs have exploded in the enemy's formation!

The silver cavalry in the front row relied on speed and agility to try to attract the defenders' shells, but the Demon Ape General's target was not these silver cavalry at all, but the engineering soldiers of the opposing army!

The garrison roared and spat out shells, which exploded through the crowd, destroying a catapult and an engineering vehicle on the spot.

Under the fury of the cannons, the sturdy giants of the snow-capped mountains were torn apart like paper men, and their blood and stumps were scattered to the ground.

However, the city defense cannon also has a disadvantage, that is, it is slow to change ammunition and has a low firing frequency. Only after the first round of launches, the enemy did not retreat but advanced, and increased its speed by a few points!

At this time, the lieutenant general of the Demon Ape General waved down with the command flag in his hand, "Fire!" ”

After the adjutant gave the order, the veterans of each squad shouted the order again, "Fire!" Everybody is aiming for me! ”

"Bang bang!"

The defenders on the wall began to shoot, and the iron head pulled the trigger almost numbly.

But he didn't know where his first bullet went, and then mechanically loaded it, raised the gun, and pulled the trigger. The second shot he still didn't know where he had hit.

His mind was blank now, and he only followed the command to make mechanical movements, and it was not until the iron head pulled the trigger again and the barrel of the gun made a "click" sound that he realized that he needed to reload. Clipped.

He touched a row of bullets on the ground. clip, wanted to insert it into the card slot of the gun, but tried several times without success, so anxious that he broke out in a sweat.

"Calm down, lad! Just play like you usually do when you train, I just saw one of your shots burst the head of a silver rider~~ Good job! ”

The Iron Head looked at the veteran beside him, looked at his hands incredulously, and thought to himself, "I killed a Silver Rider?" The ace cavalry of the Silver Lion? Is this what I did!?

"Thanks... Sir Xie, I will definitely work harder..."

Before Tietou finished speaking, he saw that the veteran standing next to him still had a smile on his face, but his head had already flown into the air.... The blood spurted up and covered his face.

The iron head watched the veteran die in front of him, he was stunned in place and couldn't believe it, the senior who was encouraging him just now was in a different place in the next second!

He hurriedly climbed on the wall battlement and looked down, only to see a silver knight draw his sword and cut out a sword light, which was the sword that killed his predecessor!

But the silver knight was shot into a sieve by the archers on the rampart, and fell in a pool of blood with his horse.

The iron head trembled and raised the gun again, and began to repeat the action mechanically again.

After a while, the opposing lion cubs had also entered the range of the defender's camp and began to exchange fire with the defenders on the battlements.

The Cubs are not as good as the defenders, and they don't have the walls to protect them, but they are outnumbered! The defenders on the city walls, which could be crushed by a single volley of guns, could not lift their heads.

"Boys! Fire me! Put your gun into burst mode! ”

The old dwarf with the cigarette pouch in his mouth leaned down and yelled at the iron-headed recruits.

At this time, looking at the captains, they were not much better than the iron heads. The death of the senior just now caused blood to be splattered on the bodies of the elf poplar and the captain Mocha.

The two of them were equally pale, but the youngest Ke Liwei was screaming and screaming at the moment, constantly pulling the trigger, until the veteran gave him a slap on the back of the head, and he stopped.

"Don't be foolish! Aim for me and hit again! ”

The veteran yelled as the recruits switched their guns from point to burst.

By the time everyone shot again, the sound had changed from "bang bang bang" to "da da da".

The casualties on the walls of this round of mutual fire began to increase, and since the guns and numbers of the Lion Cubs were several times that of the defenders, it was very difficult to defend the side by firing at each other.

Seeing that the opponent's vanguard troops had already been killed under the city, he heard the Demon Ape General shout: "Throw your hands. Thunder! ”

Yes, the iron head body was shocked, and they still had hands. Thunder! Those Demomen. Thunder throws in the crowd with great lethality!

Hearing the words of the main general, everyone began to untie the hands on their waists. Thunder, pulling the lead, threw it under the walls.

Iron Head is no exception and this round of hands. The thunder ejection was accompanied by a deafening explosion. It's just that there is the sound of the city cannon just now, and then I hear the hand at this time. The sound of thunder's explosion didn't feel so loud anymore.

"Come on, little lions! Let you taste the hands. Thunder is awesome! ”

A senior seems to be playing high and will also have a few hands. Thunder pulled the lead together, ready for an even more powerful chain explosion.

But at the moment when he half-squatted up and waved his arms to the sky, he was killed by the son in the distance. Hit the wrist with a bullet!

Half of his arm disappeared in an instant, the hand that was supposed to leave the city. Ray also fell beside him.

Worst!

The veteran's face tightened, and he didn't have time to raise his hand. Ray threw it down again and shouted, "Lie down!! ”

The other soldiers around him saw this scene and threw themselves down next to the avatar, while he himself threw the string of hands. Thunder crushed underneath him.

After a roar, the sound of "boom boom" sounded again.... A string of hands. The thunder finally exploded at this moment, and the veteran's body was also reduced to pieces in the explosion....

When the iron head opened his eyes and looked at the position just now, he found that a gap in the city wall had been blasted! And just now, the veteran senior only had a pair of boots left and was lying quietly on the city wall, and his body was completely gone.

"Vomit~~~~"

Tietou couldn't stand this scene anymore, and leaned against the wall and vomited violently.

Since I didn't eat much today, I only ate some compressed food and drank some water, and he spit it out in three or two clicks. But he was still retching, and the iron head, who had finally caught his breath, saw that the elf poplar was also like himself, leaning against the wall and began to vomit.

The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't tell what they were feeling, but they both had a sad emotion in them.

At this time, I heard the voice of the demon ape general resounding on the noisy battlefield again.

"All on bayonets! Draw your sword! Prepare for a white-knuckle fight! ”
