Chapter 583: Metal Coffin
The legendary demon Zagulang is obviously not a vain person, this sword saint who is powerful in his own right, is also very good at commanding battles.
Standing on the top of a tall tower, Emperor Shi Tian looked at the demonic frenzy surging below, and suddenly felt a little tricky.
The demon's tentative attack is actually nothing in itself, and the dispatch is nothing more than cannon fodder troops such as sub-demons, demon babies, or little devils, and occasionally a few silver-level guys will appear.
So even though they were screaming happily, they were actually only here to deliver food.
With the roar of cannons, thousands of small black dots flew from behind the city wall, smashing their heads and faces at the charging demons.
These little black dots were metal cannonballs the size of a human head, and after they hit the ground, they immediately bounced up and continued to rush forward.
After flying seven or eight kilometers, the metal projectile propelled by the alchemy gunpowder still had an extremely terrifying impact, at least the flesh and blood of the cannon fodder-level demon was completely impossible to fight.
I saw that a little demon was still in ignorance, and he was hit in the chest by a metal projectile, and was broken into two on the spot, and then the metal projectile continued to rush forward, and after killing several little demon babies, he was extremely unwilling to plunge into the soil.
At this time, the entire metal projectile was dyed blood-colored, and a blood groove was brought out behind him.
Something like this abounds on a battlefield of 300 kilometers. Although many of the shells missed, at least more than half of the shells landed in the dense demon horde, causing a large number of casualties and panic.
However, although these guys are afraid of the attack in front of them, they are even more afraid of the demonic powerhouse behind them, so you rush hard.
After withstanding more than a dozen rounds of alchemy artillery attacks, the demon vanguard troops, who had suffered casualties of up to three or four percent, still rushed to a place very close to the city wall.
By this time, however, their good fortune had run out.
I saw that the sound of explosions and thunder suddenly occurred on the city wall, accompanied by green smoke rising, and black pills were smashed all over the world.
If the alchemy cannon just now is just a sparse comb, although it looks scary, it will leave a lot of life after all.
Then the current alchemy artillery is simply an impenetrable net, and thousands of projectiles are smashed down densely, and there is no room to dodge at all.
The demons who rushed in front of them would be smashed into a sieve in an instant, and many tall little demons were hit by more than a dozen blows at the same time, each of which almost pierced them, and blood spurted out directly along the blood hole, like a magnificent fountain tree, that scene was beautiful and terrifying.
This is Emperor Shi Tian's favorite short pipe, the alchemy cannon, the range is not more than 500 meters, but the fire is the size of grapes, hundreds of them at a time.
And there are thousands of these things on the city wall, and at the same time the shooting is hundreds of thousands of small iron bullets, even if they are distributed under the city wall for 300 kilometers, there are also patches of dead people.
Anyway, this salvo killed at least twenty or thirty thousand demon cannon fodder, and there were many injured guys who were screaming miserably.
Such a tragic scene instantly frightened the guys behind him, and the momentum of the demon army's charge suddenly stagnated.
But soon, the silver-level demon who was overseeing behind him let out an angry roar and killed several fearful little demons with a spell.
The bloody example, coupled with the coercion of high-level demons, directly made these demon cannon fodder frightened and hurriedly charged forward again.
And at this time, taking advantage of the gap between the alchemy cannon and the reloading of the cannonballs, the demon cannon fodder charged quickly, so that it soon reached a place only two or three hundred meters away from the city wall.
At this distance, it has already entered the range of the little devil's fireball technique. Without hesitation, they squeezed out all their strength to feed, transformed them into fireballs, and smashed them into the city wall.
However, Emperor Shi Tian was obviously prepared, and protective shields were immediately raised on the city wall, easily blocking all these fireball techniques that were not powerful enough.
But the little demons were not discouraged, and instead launched an attack with more intensity, obviously they felt that they had consumed the defensive energy of the city wall, which could be regarded as a contribution.
And they didn't wreak havoc for long, and they were beaten into a sieve by the reloaded short-barreled alchemy cannons.
Next, it's basically the rhythm of demons dying in droves, and it looks like they're doing useless work.
However, Emperor Shi Tian knew that this seemingly comprehensive, but in fact focused attack, was simply a temptation.
The main thing is to see the range of the alchemy artillery, and to get information on the density of firepower and so on.
And now, the intelligence has been almost collected, and Emperor Shi Tian estimates that the other party's backhand should also be revealed.
Sure enough, when the demon cannon fodder in front of him died in batches, Zagulang quietly issued another order.
Immediately afterward, I saw some demonic cannon fodder strengthened in three directions, which was the focus of Zagulang's chosen attack.
And the real killer feature of Zagulang is not actually these demonic cannon fodder, but those special metal instruments mixed with cannon fodder.
These metal devices are different, and some are just a metal cylinder, like a bucket, being carried by a strong demon and running wildly.
Some are metal tools such as hammers, chisels, shovels and other things used to dig the city walls.
There are also metal siege crossbows pushed by carts, just looking at the four or five meters long bow and the crossbow arrows the size of spears, you can analyze the strength of his power.
These things are varied, numerous, and not easy to destroy, even if the holder is killed, the people behind can pick it up and continue to charge, so the demon legion can easily transport it under the city walls.
Although a lot of cannon fodder died in it, for the demon legion with sufficient troops, this loss was nothing at all.
And then, the Demon Legion began a formal, frenzied engineering operation.
The guys holding the metal bucket put it under the city wall, and then laughed and set it on fire.
Then there was a huge explosion, which blew the mad demon who ignited the fire to slag on the spot, and also caused a lot of damage to the city wall, and many bricks were blown to pieces.
It turned out that this metal barrel was actually filled with some kind of alchemy gunpowder, although the power was not as good as the naughty kind of Emperor Shi Tian, but it was enough to produce a certain amount of damage.
Fortunately, the amount of gunpowder on the other side is small, and it will be blown up barrel by barrel, otherwise it will damage the city wall, but it will be difficult to cause a fatal blow.
However, what happened next surprised Emperor Shi Tian.
It turned out that after the metal barrel exploded, the walls of the city that had been tightly sealed were blown apart like spider webs.
Then those demons are using chisels, hammers and other tools to easily dig down the bricks and stones from the city walls.
Feelings: The purpose of their bombing of the city wall is to facilitate destruction.
On the other hand, the little ballistas, which look quite scary, are actually not too threatening, because they tend to be taken care of, and before they get too close, they will be shot off by the heavy crossbows on the city walls.
Don't forget, there are not only alchemy cannons on the walls, but also a variety of other weapons to defend the city.
But I have to say that these weapons, for the demons who have already reached the city wall, are a little insufficient, either they can't be hit, or they can't be killed.
Demons are not stupid, and when they get under the city walls, they often put all kinds of things on top of their heads, such as shields, tattered armor, demon corpses, and so on.
Because the demon has rough skin and thick flesh and a strong body, it is really good as a meat shield, even if it is a short-barreled alchemy cannon, it has nothing to do with them.
After all, the lethality of the short-barreled alchemy cannon is relatively low, and there is no way to continuously pierce the demon's body, even if it barely penetrates one, it has no lethality.
In this case, the demons who are carrying all kinds of heavy things feel that they can safely and boldly destroy the city wall.
Of course, these poor children are obviously thinking too much, how can Emperor Shi Tian give them such an opportunity?
During these times, Emperor Shitian's tens of thousands of flying legions were killing everywhere outside, accumulating an unknown number of grenades, which were just used here.
As soon as the defenders on the city wall saw that the demons were starting to pile up, they knew what they were going to do, and immediately threw down two or three grenades, and then they heard several explosions, and the demons in the pile were instantly torn apart like rags.
With such a big killing weapon, for the time being, there is no big problem with the city wall.
However, just as Emperor Shi Tian was worried, in fact, up to now, these actions of the Demon Legion were just superficial tricks, just trying to make Emperor Shi Tian relax his vigilance.
made their real killer moves, but they had already quietly started to combine them in the back.
I saw hundreds of demon dwarves, under the secret order of Zagulang, pushing dozens of relatively large vehicles, mixed with the cannon fodder troops.
On the surface, these vehicles are a metal coffin of three meters by five meters, with a height of more than two meters, and in front of it is a hideous demon head, and the entire body is square.
On the surface, these metal vehicles don't seem to be anything remarkable, except that they look a little hideous and scary, and they don't seem to be lethal.
However, when these vehicles were scattered and lined up in a row, and came to a place seven or eight kilometers away from the city wall, they stopped tacitly.
Immediately afterward, the demon dwarves split into two groups and began to prepare, one of which began to control the metal coffin on the vehicle, while the other group of demon dwarves grabbed some sub-demon people nearby.
The strength of the demon dwarf is only about bronze, and the combat power is about the same as that of the sub-demon people, but the status of the people in the demon army is similar to that of the high-level silver demon.
Therefore, the demon dwarf also has the right to command the low-level sub-demons, this right is recognized by the high-level demons, as long as any sub-demon feels disobedient, what awaits him will be the severe punishment of the demons, and when the time comes, even death is a luxury, we have countless kinds of cruel punishments, which can make a person unable to survive and die.
In this case, the sub-demons, who are large in number and a little stronger in strength, have no way to resist, and can only be honestly brought to those metal coffins by the demon dwarves.
