Chapter 19 Siege Battle
"Dong!Dong!Dong!" The rhythmic drumming sounded amid the cheers of the soldiers of the Lightning Army. Their shouts and demonstrations gradually faded, and replaced by the soldiers' advancement. The uniform sounds formed a death-induced spell on the Rock Legion guarding the town.
One hundred meters!
Eighty meters!
Sixty meters!
At this time, the gun and shield soldiers walking in the front could already see the nervous faces of the soldiers of the Rock Legion.
A city wall built by the Panshi Legion at the gate of the town. Although this wall is not high, only about five meters, it is not something that ordinary people can climb up at will. On the city wall, several rows of archers have bent their bows and arrows, preparing to shoot at the soldiers of the Lightning Army who are about to enter a fifty-meter range.
"Stop!" Dias suddenly gave the order, and the entire infantry phalanx immediately stopped neatly.
At this time, the infantry gave up a passage, and dozens of magicians in black robes rushed up from behind.
These magicians immediately began to recite magic spells before and after they arrived in the formation.
"The magic group finally launched an attack!" Roger was also very excited at this time. After all, it was the first time he saw the magic group participating in the battle.
The elemental power in the air suddenly became dry, and a large area of fire red appeared in the sky, and then a fire rain began to fall from the fiery red sky. The center of the fire rain was just a little closer to the entrance of the town, and the range was a circle with a radius of fifty meters.
"They have started the Meteor Fire Rain! The water magician casts the water shield!" The leader of the magic group of the Rock Legion also hurriedly ordered.
At this time, blue light suddenly appeared above the gate of the town, and a semicircular blue shield appeared, which just enveloped the place where the meteor fire rain fell. As soon as the fire rains of beans fell on the blue shield, a stream of blue smoke came out and then disappeared.
"The fire magician is temporarily removed, and the water magician will cast the tsunami technique!" Fengsaika saw that the enemy's water shield completely resisted the power of the meteor fire rain, so he changed to the water magician.
At this time, the group of fire magicians who had just cast the spell quickly went down, and another group of water magicians came up. Roger looked closely and found that Anne was also inside.
"Water element! Listen to my call and use your magnificence to show your proud power!" As Anne and other water magicians chanted spells, countless water droplets formed out of thin air in the open space outside the town. They were all like being held by an invisible hand, floating in the air, and accumulated bigger and bigger. At first, they were still water droplets, but later they were the size of a fist, and they could not squeeze out each other in diameter, so they merged with each other, and merged with the ditches in several trenches outside the town, finally forming a water wall of dozens of meters high.
"Oh no! They have used the tsunami technique!" The leader of the magic group of the Rock Legion thought to himself that it was not good. It had just rained heavily here and was close to the lakeside. The water element content in the air was extremely high. At this time, the tsunami technique used was more than twice as powerful as that under normal circumstances.
"Hurry! Water magicians should not maintain the water shield! Cast the Ice Wall Technique!" The leader of the magic group of the Rock Legion shouted immediately.
At this time, the water wall had completely collapsed near Hupan Town. The liberated water turned into a huge wave and rushed towards the city wall at the entrance of Hupan Town. If this wave really hits the city wall directly, not only will the city wall collapse, but the entire Hupan Town behind the city wall be washed away completely.
Fortunately, the water magician of the Rock Legion had already quickly recited the magic spell: "The water element bathed in the aurora, please lend me the magical skills and build an eternal and immortal crystal wall!"
I saw a fifty-meter-high and two thousand meters long ice wall standing ten meters outside the city wall. With a loud "bang", the waves hit the ice wall violently, making a huge collision sound. The ice wall shook under the huge impact of the waves, but it still barely stabilized without collapse. The huge wave turned and turned into a torrent, turning toward the middle of the lake.
At this time, the group of water-type magicians of the Rock Legion had consumed all their magic power because they released two magic tricks in a row. Some of them could not stand firm and sat down on the ground.
"Take them down!" The leader of the magic group of the Rock Legion asked the soldiers to help all the water-type magicians. He sighed in his heart. It seemed that these magicians would have to rest for at least two days to recover.
After the water magician was replaced, the tall ice wall they created soon disappeared, revealing the original city wall.
"The terrain changed!" Fengseka called the earth magician again. With their magical chanting, he created a dirt slope on the city wall at the entrance of the town. Then the cavalry on both wings rushed towards the dirt slope, trying to kill the city wall along the slope.
The leader of the Magic Corps of the Rock Legion was also prepared for this. He immediately asked his subordinate earth magician to double the height of the city wall. The cavalry of the Lightning Legion could only look at the suddenly taller city wall and lamented.
"Come back!" Diaz felt very heartbroken when he saw that his cavalry had killed or injured many times under the shooting of archers on the city wall.
The magic teams of both sides went back and forth, and after all the magic power was exhausted, the siege finally officially kicked off.
"Haha, although our magic group is exhausted now, the enemy has also consumed almost the same!" Diaz saw that the magic group of both sides had already begun to sit down and rest. However, his face showed an excited look. He could finally start the formal siege.
"Cattacking the enemy's walls!"
"Push up and push forward! Get ready to hit the enemy's door!"
"The infantry carried the ladder and prepared to start climbing the city wall! Archers should pay attention to cover and shoot the enemy soldiers on the city wall!"
Diaz issued one order after another.
At this time, with the bombardment of the catapult, the soldiers of the Rock Legion on the city wall were almost unable to raise their heads. However, Winter immediately let the catapult car start to bombard the confrontation. This time he marched to capture the Lightning Army's camp, so siege equipment such as the catapult car was more prepared than the Lightning Army. Under the fierce bombardment of the two sides, soldiers were constantly hit and fell down.
Simon led his First Division's shield soldiers, braved the stone rain and arrows, and soon approached the city wall. They rushed to the city wall with their shields, squatted down, and hid behind the shield. Soon, thousands of archers rushed over, hid behind the shield, raised their bows and fired, and the rain of arrows sprinkled onto the wall.
Winter immediately ordered the soldiers to hide behind the walls first, without having to fight back, and wait until the enemy starts to take the ladder before coming out.
Jack looked at the situation under the wall at this time, was shocked, and immediately shouted to his Third Division: "Prepare the sand and stones, and prepare the fire extinguishing team."
As soon as Jack finished speaking, a large group of archers rushed over from the Lightning Army, with a number of about 3,000 people. While they were running quickly, they shot the lit rockets into the city walls and the houses in the town.
"On the ladder! Start climbing the city!"
"Crash into the car! Start hitting the door!"
With Diaz's order, the fierce siege finally officially began.
Both sides attacked each other with arrows and stones at this time, and there were dents of impact and signs of fire on the city wall and gate. However, it seemed that the Rock Legion had indeed put in a lot of effort in the construction and repair of the city wall. Although these scars looked scary, they did not damage the structure. The crashes were often hooked by hooks and failed to open the door smoothly.
Although the siege infantry of the Lightning Army attacked the city wall several times under the leadership of Simon, they did not gain a foothold and were driven off the city wall by Winter. In this day, the offensive party lost more than 3,000 people and the defense party lost more than 2,500 people. In the siege, the proportion of casualties was quite close.
