Chapter 245: Hobgoblin Attack and Defense

Waterfall town, sunset moon, 10th, overcast.

The gloomy sky, the dark clouds, the gusts of cold wind, and the sound of blood-stained banners, all those standing on the town wall on the waterfall looked solemnly at the dense figures in the open area in the distance.

"Crash! Crash! Crash!"

In the moat connecting the Emerald River below the city wall, a large number of ferocious fish have gathered. They seemed to be a group of ferocious beasts that smelled blood, and they surfaced one after another, swimming restlessly in the water, splashing countless turbulent waves.

In the open area leading to the town of Falls, the hobgoblin army drove the cattle, horses and slaves carrying siege equipment, and drove the well-trained warg, singing the ancient hobgoblin war song:

They crumble before our shields, they lie down under our swords!

Their homeland was conquered by us, and their descendants were enslaved by us.

Shura Field! Shura Field!

Victory belongs to us!

The ground reverberated with the echo of hundreds of combat boots, and the dark army marched neatly towards the town of waterfalls.

"Uuuuuu..."

The high-spirited battle horn was blown, and below the city wall of Waterfall Town, a row of neatly lined Hobgoblin troops drove the slaves and appeared in the sight of everyone on the city wall.

"Pfft!"

At this time, a hobgoblin army commander wrapped in dark black heavy armor and smeared with crimson stripes waved a sharp giant axe in his hand and instantly killed a gnoll that had been bound long ago. six meters away.

Afterwards, the commander of the Hobgoblin army set foot on the 15-meter-high siege tower. In the howling cold wind, the scarlet cloak was scratched, and he raised the **** beheading axe in his hand. Under the blessing, he roared at everyone on the city wall of the waterfall town:

"Listen to the two-legged ants in the town of Falls, under the watchful eyes of the great goblin patron saint, the supreme chieftain, the unrivaled war lord, the mighty Magrubier, the great goblin's The battle flag will always be planted at the top of your city walls, the blood-seeking beheading axe will bring the deepest pain and mourning to each of you, and the victory will always belong to the Heruk Hobgoblin!"

"For the glory of the Mighty One!"

"For the glory of the Almighty!" The shouts spread rapidly, from the front row of the neatly dressed Hobgoblin warriors to the last row, the voices of more than a thousand Hobgoblin warriors joined the shouts of the Hobgoblin army commander.

All the hobgoblins boiled.

The frantic shouting continued, and the moment the beheading axe raised in the hands of the hobgoblin army commander slashed into the sky, the sound suddenly stopped, and all the hobgoblins focused their attention on the army commander of the siege tower.

"Sacrificial flag!" The Hobgoblin army commander roared again.

"Uuuuuu..."

The passionate battle horn was blown again, and a group of captives mixed with gnolls, lizardmen, ogres, and kobolds were pushed out by well-equipped Hobgoblin warriors, lined up neatly, and stood at the forefront of the army.

Accompanied by the 'click' sound of the beheading axe, one higher than the other, all the mournful and wailing prisoners were all laid down in a pool of blood, and the bright red blood pooled into streams heading towards the waterfall town.

The strong smell of blood permeated under the cold wind, and the ferocious fish in the moat opened their hideous mouths one after another, and their pupils gleaming with scarlet light greedily stared at all their prey.

"For the glory of the Almighty!" The hobgoblin warriors boiled again, and their mad cries resounded throughout the world.

When the beheading axe in the hand of the hobgoblin army commander was raised to the gloomy sky again, the sound suddenly stopped, and all the hobgoblins' eyes were once again focused on the army commander of the siege tower.

"The cloud ladder car charges!"

Seven trolleys with wheels, equipped with shields, winches, grappling hooks and other equipment were pushed out by a group of ogre slaves and charged towards the city gate of Waterfall Town.

"All slaves charge!"

Driven by the goblins, the goblins, bear goblins, gnolls, ogres, trolls, lizardmen and other densely packed captives desperately climbed the ladder carts and approached the city wall of the waterfall town.

"Siege towers! Archers! Crossbowmen! Cover!"

Behind the Hobgoblin army, neat rows of Hobgoblin archers moved forward in an orderly manner. down, drive forward.

"Ejection catapult! Heavy catapult! Ready!"

A long-assembled catapult was pushed into the attack range, and groups of hobgoblin warriors were busy loading and aiming.

...

Falls on the town wall.

The armies that had been waiting for a long time have protruded sharp blades with cold light from the city wall, blocking all incoming enemies.

The two leaders of the lower city, Carlos and Torvi, looked at the enemy who was about to approach the attack range with heavy expressions.

One instruction is issued frequently:

"Array! Block!"

A large number of well-equipped fighters hid in the bunkers of the city wall, waiting in full force, with the sound of 'kachakacha', and the dense crossbows were ready to attack.

"Ballista! Prepare!"

More than a dozen heavy crossbows were pushed out by a group of fighters, and they were quickly ready to load, aim, and launch.

"Hang the cauldron! Prepare!"

Dozens of hanging steel crucibles were pushed out on wheels, and the tumbling kerosene exuded scorching heat.

"Spellcaster! Prepare!"

Dozens of warlocks, priests, druids, and a small number of wizards in dark wizard robes emerged from the cover of a group of shield warriors and quickly prepared to attack spells.

...

At this time, a black crow cut through the cloudy sky and fell into the city wall of Waterfall Town, and quickly turned into a plain-looking young man.

"How is it? Master Qingchen!" Carlos, who was in heavy armor, and Torvi, who was holding a staff, immediately approached him and asked solemnly.

"When we found out the Hobgoblin's intention to attack, the reinforcements from Horn Town had already set off, but these Hobgoblins were obviously prepared, and the reinforcements from Horn Town were blocked in the middle of the road and were already stuck." Master Qingchen He calmly glanced at the approaching siege ladder, and continued:

"Fortunately, the goblin wizard Malvasia obviously expected this situation long ago, so she arranged for some reinforcements to come from the other direction. Ten minutes later, the orc wolf cavalry and goblin wolf cavalry in Horn Town, as well as the rushing The ogres will arrive first."

"In addition to those slaves, this group of hobgoblins has nearly 1,000 hobgoblin warriors. The intention of their attack this time is obvious, to test the approximate strength of our waterfall town, so we must beat them thoroughly, so that they can I will temporarily give up the intention to attack the town of waterfalls." Carlos looked at the dense army and said sharply.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Attack! Charge!" At the moment when the ladder trucks burning with flames and billowing smoke collided with the city walls of Pushang Town under the bombardment of spells, the commander of the giant goblin army standing on the siege tower raised blood dripping. Decapitating the axe and roaring angrily.

The slaves scrambling for the first place, facing the rain-like rain of galloping arrows, the scalding oil and water, boulders and logs, climbed **** the ladder and moved closer to the city wall.
