Chapter 830 Large Siege Vehicle
This time, the siege team not only had simple wooden ladders, but also eleven towering siege vehicles.
The fronts of these large siege vehicles are covered with thick wooden boards, and on the top there is a platform that can accommodate more than ten people and is at the same height as the city wall.
When the time comes, the engineering vehicle will be pushed in front of the city wall, and the baffle in front will fall down directly, becoming a bridge directly connecting to the city wall.
The soldiers no longer had to climb the wooden ladders at great risk and risk, and could reach the city walls quickly and safely.
…
"This old guy really came in person!"
Gervis put down the monocular telescope in his hand, and a trace of solemnity finally appeared on his face.
Although he was not afraid of Batman, this old guy was one of the twelve strongest humans, on par with Edward.
His strength reached the peak of the Red Flag Knight, and he was only one step away from becoming the strongest Purple Flag Knight in the continent.
Such top-notch experts are crucial to any battle.
If there is no one of equal strength to confront him, he can kill without restraint on the battlefield.
At this time, Gervis was not sure whether he could fight with him after his enhanced strength was achieved.
However, the Golden Shield Family's siege team has already begun, and Gervis can only put Batman aside temporarily.
Things will work out when the time comes. The important thing now is to stop the attack of more than 10,000 of his elite soldiers!
"Ike, switch the artillery to single-shot mode. Once the enemy siege vehicles come into range, immediately fire and destroy them!"
When Gervis saw the eleven huge siege vehicles over fifty meters high, he immediately gave an order to Ik.
This thing is a powerful siege weapon. Gervis had seen it when he was in Eurasia.
However, this thing has a fatal flaw in Eurasia, which is that it is too large and inconvenient to move.
Unfortunately, in this sacred continent, the Silver Knights can only be at the bottom. If the Title Knights are used to push the siege vehicle, that shortcoming will disappear!
Fortunately, Gervis still has ultra-long-range artillery. He believes that this wooden thing can be quickly solved by bombarding it with artillery.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ike immediately obeyed the order.
After Ike left, Gervis looked at Long Yi again.
"Long Yi!"
"Master, what do you want?"
"If the artillery fails to completely destroy the siege vehicles, the fifty of you will use fireballs to assist. We must eliminate them before the siege vehicles get close to the city wall. Do you understand?"
This siege vehicle must be ensured to be destroyed. For safety reasons, Gervis also added Long Yi and others!
"Yes, Master!"
"Well, then you guys go ahead and arrange them in groups of five!"
After nodding at Long Yi to send them away, Gervis turned his gaze to Long Er who was standing at the stairs.
"Long Er, from you to Long Fifty-One, a total of fifty people, all go to the city square and wait. If you receive an order from the horn, you will immediately take to the air on the Swift Dragon Bird to fight!"
This time, Gervis brought more than fifty swift dragon birds. They were not used in the previous battle, but the Golden Shield Family will definitely attack the city in one go next time, and the swift dragon birds will definitely be used this time.
"Yes, Master!"
After hearing the instructions, Long Er and a group of fifty people immediately rushed to the square in Sheng'en City.
At this time, there were still 150 magicians left at the stairs. Gervis was not ready to use them for the time being, so he gave them some instructions.
"Stay on standby and follow my orders later!"
"Yes, Master!"
After arranging a group of slave magicians, Gervis had nothing else to arrange.
There were less than 1,800 direct guards on the city wall, and 3,000 sea tribe natives in the moat. These were all the troops Gervis had now! Seeing the army outside the city getting closer and closer, and about to enter the artillery range, Gervis suddenly thought of something.
"Father! Take these two potions. When the enemy attacks the city wall, take them immediately."
The potions that Gervase gave to Gandalf were strength enhancement potions and damage immunity potions.
This time Batman came in person and brought many powerful men with him. It was only then that Gandalf broke through the Golden Knight, and the risk factor was very high.
"Okay, Gervis!"
Gandalf took it immediately without any hesitation.
"Take both. Don't forget, Father!"
"Don't worry, Gervis!"
Gandalf immediately looked happy.
…
"Cannons, listen to the order, fire!"
Just as the two were talking, Ik's shout was finally heard not far from Gervis. The siege team of the Golden Shield Family had advanced to 500 meters and entered the range of the artillery.
Boom, boom, boom! Following Ike's order, ten cannons immediately roared, and puffs of white smoke rose from the city wall.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! As the red bullet shot out, Gervis captured the trajectory of the bullet with his super five senses.
Bang, bang, bang! The next moment, ten shells were fired to the end.
But unfortunately, only three shells hit the siege vehicle in the end. The scattered shells directly hit the siege vehicle, causing wood chips to fly and make crackling sounds.
After all, this siege vehicle is a huge vehicle, and it is made of the thickest wood, so this cannonball only caused limited damage to the siege vehicle.
If you want to destroy it completely, you need to fire a few more shots, or use shrapnel at close range, which may have a significant effect.
"Quick, reload the ammunition!"
Seeing the hit rate of the first round, Ike did not dare to delay and immediately urged the guards to reload.
After more than thirty seconds, the shells were reloaded again.
At this time, the siege team had approached to within 400 meters.
"All artillery, fire!"
When the loading was completed and the artillery aiming was fine-tuned again, Ike gave the order again.
Boom boom boom! Puffs of white smoke rose from the city wall again!
"Very good, at least six shots can hit the target this time!"
Gervis captured the trajectory of the shells again and couldn't help but cry out in relief.
Because the distance was much closer, the hit rate was very high this time, and Gervis was looking forward to a few more shells hitting the siege vehicle again.
Maybe if they were luckier, the three siege engines that had been hit by a shell before might flip over this time! While Gervis was thinking this, the shells arrived in an instant.
Boom, boom, boom! Gervis heard several muffled sounds immediately.
However, a muffled sound was heard, and the scenes that Gervis had imagined, such as flying wood chips and the collapse of siege vehicles, did not appear.
Suddenly, energy barriers appeared on the siege vehicle, blocking several shells.
"Magician!"
Gervis' eyes widened immediately.
There were actually magicians on the siege vehicles. When the shells hit, the magicians released shields of various attributes, which directly made the shells lose their control! "Damn it, this time it's going to be troublesome!"
From the size and strength of the magic shields, Gervis could tell at a glance that the magicians on these siege vehicles were of high level.
This meant that it was no longer possible for him to use artillery or apprentice magicians to deal with the siege vehicles!
…
"Alright! Haha! Let's see what the God of Death will do this time!"
While Gervis was a little dumbfounded, Rakar and Billy on the siege vehicle laughed heartily. They had suffered a great loss from that strange weapon before.
Now that there are several magicians here, that strange weapon is immediately useless.
…
"Your Majesty, what should we do if the artillery doesn't work on them?"
Ike also realized the problem, and while the artillery was being loaded, he immediately ran to Gervis and asked.
"In that case, you don't have to worry about the siege vehicles! Now aim your artillery at the soldiers below! Just deal with them. Oh, and also pass this order to Long Yi!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
When Ike heard it, he immediately responded, then quickly went to find Long Yi to convey Gervis's order.
"Dragon Fifty-Two!"
After Ik left, Gervis immediately shouted to the team of magicians on the stairs.
"Master, what do you want?"
Long Wushier ran up to Gervis respectfully.
"Starting from you to Long Jiujiu, all of you must take these potions! After taking the potions, you will be divided into ten groups, each with fifteen apprentice magicians, and then each group will focus on a siege vehicle!"
"Listen to my orders later. As soon as I give the order, you will attack the enemy magicians in the siege vehicles at the same time. Do you understand?"
Gervis took out a wooden box from the space ring.
What was contained in the wooden box was not an enhancement potion, but an infinite magic potion mixed with energy fruit.
The profession of magician is somewhat special, because in addition to being divided into levels, magicians must learn matching magic if they want to unleash the true power of their level.
Therefore, even if Gervis gave them the strength-enhancing fruit now and turned Dragon Fifty-Two to Dragon Ninety-Nine from primary magicians into intermediate magicians, it would be useless.
Because they have never learned intermediate magic, their strength is useless and they cannot exert the damage of an intermediate magician at all.
But the energy fruit potion that Gervis gave them was different.
When the number reaches a certain level, the ants may be able to kill the elephant. At that time, as long as they release fireballs continuously, they will have a good chance of restraining the opponent's high-level magician.
It is no longer possible to destroy those large engineering vehicles from a distance. Gervis can only wait for them to get closer before dealing with them!
"Yes, Master!"
Long Wushier agreed without any hesitation.
"Very good, let's do it!"
Gervis nodded to Long Wushier.
At this time, the siege team had reached more than 100 meters outside the city.
…
"Everyone, start charging! Killing an enemy will earn you ten bounty coins!"
Lacar stood on the siege vehicle, drew out his sword, swung his arm, and gave the order to charge the team below! Woohoo!
Following Lacar's order, the herald immediately blew the charge horn.
"kill!"
"kill!"
Hearing the horn, the team of more than 5,000 people on the ground below immediately burst into shouts of killing, and then rushed towards the city wall like a tide.
"Artillery, target the enemy charging team, fire!"
Boom boom boom! At this moment, the second siege battle finally reached its most intense stage.
The next scene was exactly the same as before.
The soldiers of the Golden Shield family first suffered the baptism of artillery and longbows on the city wall, and then crossed the moat in one go.
"Haha! We are coming! Kill!"
"Go into the city, we want revenge!"
"Kill him! We want a bounty!"
This time, the more than 2,000 miscellaneous troops who rushed to the front were the ones who were filling the river. After sacrificing hundreds of lives, they finally reached the other side of the moat amidst artillery fire and arrows.
At this time, they were only more than 20 meters away from the foot of the city wall. These ragtag troops immediately became excited because they had escaped the horrific artillery bombardment.
As for climbing the city wall next, they were not very worried.
Because as long as they can hold on for a while, the elite troops and the commander-in-chief on the eleven siege vehicles will arrive, and then they will have nothing to do.
"Be careful, there is danger, watch your head!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! However, just as these ragtag troops were excited and ready to rush through the last 20 meters, they suddenly heard exclamations from the rear.
At the same time, there were a large number of whistling sounds coming from overhead.
These miscellaneous soldiers immediately looked up.
The next moment, their excited expressions froze and their pupils dilated instantly.
I saw red fireballs appearing above their heads, falling rapidly from above like meteors.
Boom boom boom! "Ah! Ah!"
Just a moment later, the fireballs fell on their heads.
Suddenly, fires flew among this group of ragtag troops, accompanied by miserable and painful howls.
"Quick, get to the bottom of the city wall! The enemy magician has started attacking!"
Although this round of fireball attack only caused sixty to seventy casualties, it dealt a huge blow to the morale of the ragtag army.
Fortunately, several team leaders were also veterans of the battlefield, and they immediately urged the miscellaneous troops to move towards the city wall.
…
"Sure enough, there are more than fifty apprentice magicians. This God of Death is truly magical! I didn't believe it when the magical potion first appeared! But now I have seen it with my own eyes!"
"These fifty apprentice magicians, don't they represent a magical potion?"
The moment Long Yi started the attack with fifty trainee magicians, Lamb on the siege vehicle confirmed the fact that Gervis had fifty trainee magicians.
However, Lamb had no intention of helping those ragtag troops.
Because Lakar had already discussed with him that the two thousand miscellaneous troops leading the charge were just cannon fodder.
Now the most important task for these magicians is to protect the siege vehicle.
"Mage Lamb, I'll leave those magicians in your care later!"
Although Lakar turned a blind eye to the casualties below, he looked at Long Yi and others on the city wall with hatred and said something to Lamb.
"Don't worry! Lakar, we will take care of those apprentice magicians!"
As a senior magician, Lamb was full of confidence and gave Lakar a guarantee! After a pause, Lamb looked at Gervis on the city wall and continued.
"By the way, if possible, try to keep the killer alive first. I'm very interested in his potion formula!"
"No problem, Mage Lamb!"
Even if Lamb didn't say it, Lakar would still give this killer half a life.
At that time, not only will we force him to reveal the formula of the magic potion, but we will also torture him to relieve our hatred! Next, as more and more cannon fodders died below, the siege vehicle finally arrived in front of the city wall intact.
"Everyone, draw your swords and prepare to attack!"
Upon seeing this, Lakar immediately shouted orders to his men beside him!
Clang clang clang! In an instant, nearly a hundred golden knights on the siege vehicle drew their swords.
