"The King's Kingdom Fiction ( Find the latest chapter!

Theodosius stood on the city wall and stared at the enemy below. It was the first time for him to face such a large number of enemies. Although most of them were inferiors with low combat effectiveness, the ants bit more. dead elephant.

This kind of defensive battle is different from the frontal field battle. Although it is said that relying on the city wall to defend is a huge advantage, it is completely different from the field battle, which has the characteristics of rapidly changing battle conditions. Grind slowly.

This is a kind of battlefield of flesh and blood. During the frontal field battle, you can use tactics to use the elite troops to attack the enemy's weak points to cause a rout. If the situation is good and the situation is not anxious, the casualties of the victor are usually not very large.

However, this kind of city defense is a kind of torture to both the attacker and the defender. The cavalry troops of the king of the battlefield cannot be used, and they can only get off their horses and do some infantry work. Even if they kill the enemy more efficiently, they cannot overwhelm them. The enemy formation, their strategic position has dropped too much.

"The enemy is coming, prepare for battle!" Theodosius' words were purely superfluous. Everyone saw the monsters that were getting closer and closer. The army of these monsters from the north did not attack immediately, but It was like a flood that engulfed the walls of Ikopixi.

At this time, the entire city wall was filled with a huge number of monsters in all directions. Even if they were scattered like this, standing on the city wall still couldn't see the edge of this group of dark creatures.

"Damn it! The number of these monsters is definitely more than 100,000!" Mutaliaan's brows became more and more frowning. He was the one with the most bottom line. When he faced the dragon's attack before, there were so many monsters. Now I see This boundless wave of monsters like a sea tide made his face turn pale.

Theodosius didn't look very good. According to his prediction, the monsters under the dragon's command would not exceed 150,000 at most, and the defenders in the city could barely reach 20,000. It's not a huge disparity, he's still a little confident.

Now it seems that the number of monsters displayed in front of him is estimated to reach 200,000, ten times the difference in strength, and he is beginning to feel a little lost.

When Ikopixi city walls were all surrounded by monsters, I heard a high-pitched dragon roar like an attacking horn, and all the monsters launched an attack on Ikopixi city walls at this moment.

The monsters in the front row rushed towards the city wall with ladders made of simple logs. They made strange screams from time to time. Under the amplification of the huge number, they formed a deafening sound, even in the center of Ikpixi City. Can hear clearly.

"Giant crossbow! Launch!" Theodosius' order was quickly conveyed. These giant crossbows all had a clear division of labor. Those on the city wall were responsible for shooting ordinary monsters, while those on the arrow tower were responsible for guarding against dragons.

Once all of these are thrown into the blow to ordinary monsters, it is difficult to guarantee that the giant dragon will not seize the opportunity to fly over and serve with a dragon's breath.

Most of the parts of these giant crossbows are made of wood. If they are burned by the breath of a thousand-degree dragon, it will be completely useless. Then, won't the damned beast be burned and killed at will?

"Bang Beng Beng..."

The giant crossbow mounted on the city wall exerted its might, and a little trembling sound came one after another after the crossbow string straightened, and the explosion of the huge crossbow gun cutting through the air was incessant.

In front of Theodosius, dozens of crossbow guns as long as 2.5 meters long fell into the wave of monsters like deadly spears, setting off a **** storm, screaming and wailing, not piercing the two. The three monsters will not fall to the ground.

"Boom blah blah..."

Naturally, there was no way that the giant crossbow was the only weapon on the city wall. The two-kilometer-long section of the city wall by Theodosius alone was equipped with more than 30 trebuchets.

Although the density of the trebuchets was a bit pitiful compared to the length of the city wall, the casualties caused to the monsters were not small.

The formation of these dark creatures is extremely scattered and dense, and the trebuchet does not need to consider accuracy at all, as long as the stone is thrown out, it will definitely hit the enemy.

Of course, this weapon doesn't actually talk about accuracy.

The rocks that can be mounted on the trebuchet are naturally not small. Most of them are two or three circles larger than a human head, with a weight of 40 to 50 kilograms. After being thrown out, even if they do not hit the enemy, they can be killed by the rebound. monster.

Theodosius alone saw more than 300 monsters killed by this round of boulders.

Of course, the number of these 300 is just a drop in the ocean for the entire monster army, but if it can continue like this, he believes that even the huge number of monsters can't afford it.

In less than a minute, under the bombardment of the giant crossbow and the catapult, more than 500 monsters were directly killed.

It's just that such a proud record did not bring a significant improvement to the morale of the defenders. If it was a normal operation, a round of strikes and reimbursement of more than 500 enemies would definitely be a hearty victory, and it might directly cause the enemy to defeat and flee.

But with such a large number of monsters, the fall of more than 500 monsters seems to have no effect at all, and there is no visual change, which inevitably disappoints some warriors.

But disappointment is disappointment, and the defense of the city must continue. If the enemy breaks the city wall, it is not the same as saying that you have not achieved success. Although the God of War sect is not taboo or even encourages death in battle, it also encourages fighting to survive. It is naturally better to survive. OK.

The soldier manipulating the giant crossbow hurriedly used the gear to pull the strings for the treasure in his hand, while the other person hurriedly went to grab the crossbow gun not far away and reloaded the weapon for defending the city.

The soldiers who operated the trebuchet also hurriedly used the winch to recharge the equipment in their hands, while the two soldiers hurriedly lifted a boulder and placed it on the trebuchet tray.

The principle of this kind of trebuchet is relatively simple. It is neither torque nor counterweight, but a human trebuchet with the simplest structure.

Although the power range is not too far, it is better than nothing in the end, and judging from the results just now, if the target is only flesh and blood, the effect is quite good.

At this time, UU reading www.uukanshu. com The elven archers and human archers holding elven bows on the arrow tower also began to strike with arrows.

The range of the Elf Bow is super long, which is slightly shorter than that of the catapult and the giant crossbow.

But when they started shooting, it meant that the monsters were only about 400 meters away from the Ikopixi city wall.

The effect of the arrow rain is obvious. You can see that the place where the shot was shot immediately fell down a large area of ​​dark creatures. Although most of these archers were assigned to the arrow towers, they still had some tacit understanding with each other. .

Theodosius took a cursory look and saw that the more than 500 archers in the city wall where he was located actually reimbursed more than 300 monsters in a single shot, similar to the catapult.

And their shooting speed is far higher than that of large equipment with slow loading speed. In less than five seconds, the second round of arrow rain poured out again.
