Chapter 696: Tauren

"Each trebuchet adjusts its angle by itself, and the high platform opposite the target shoots in five bursts!" The commander of the knight on the Miracle Wall received the order at this time, and he shouted loudly.

All trebuchet teams began to adjust their angles. These are professional trebuchet operators. Their daily work is to practice trebuchets. It can be said that they are more flexible in mastering trebuchets than their own bodies.

The sixty trebuchets were all adjusted in just 30 seconds, and the huge round stones were loaded into the launcher. With the inertia brought by the heavy objects on one side of the trebuchet, half of these A stone ball with a diameter of one meter was thrown into the air.

The stone ball drew an arc in the air, smashed heavily on the high platform, some hit the empty space, and then rolled and rushed down towards the gentle slope of the high platform. The tauren in front held their shields and did not flinch. Shield to resist the stone ball.

When one tauren fell, two tauren would stand on top. The huge impact of the stone ball lost its impact after knocking down and killing nearly ten tauren holding iron shields.

And some stone balls directly hit the tauren holding the shield, which caused even more harm. Several tauren became flesh and blood on the spot, crushed several tauren to death, and then hit the orc throwing stones heavily. on board.

The orc trebuchet was broken by this impact, and several giant trees were broken, and the whole orc trebuchet began to crumble.

"Repair! Repair!" Following the shout of a Vulpera behind the orc trebuchet, a dozen foxmen rushed forward, using wooden blocks and iron nails to re-reinforce the damaged orc catapult machine.

At the same time, an elite shield-bearing tauren stepped forward to take over the position of the dead tauren. The task of the tauren was to protect the orc trebuchet and those foxmen.

You must know that the wood used in the trebuchet has very strict requirements, some require hard, some require flexibility, and only large trees can become useful.

The geographical location of the Orc Empire determines the scarcity of such super-large trees, and it cost a lot of money for these trebuchets. At the same time, because of the limited tree resources in the empire, although manpower was used to go to the most dangerous part of the Budapest Mountains Some wood was felled in the middle and high-level spirit beast area, but it was still far from enough to consume.

In the end, the Orc Empire could only demolish all the wooden houses in several cities, which solved the problem of timber.

Even so, the range of these trebuchets did not reach the range of human trebuchets. This was the helpless decision to place the trebuchet at a distance of 250 meters.

"No, if this continues, all our stone-throwing opportunities will be destroyed. Go up to the city crossbow to suppress the Miracle Wall, and raise the smoke to prevent the opponent from aiming!" General Gerald was very dissatisfied with the speed of the tauren, but there was nothing he could do about it. , he looked at the Tauren Carroll and ordered.

"Yes, General!" the tauren Carol replied in a buzzing voice.

Soon there was smoke everywhere on the high platform, and the entire high platform was shrouded in the smoke. Although the human trebuchet also destroyed six orc trebuchets, there were not many victories. Under the protection of the wolf smoke, it was not very accurate. The trebuchet is all based on luck in the attack.

At this time, the tauren carried the city crossbow and rushed up to the high platform quickly. In order to be able to clearly know the position in the wolf smoke, these tauren were all well-trained.

Four powerful tauren can lift a city crossbow, and soon it will bear the stone balls of human catapults. Forty city crossbows have been erected, almost filling the front end of the high platform.

As the wolf smoke dissipated, the knight commander on the Miracle Wall first saw the flying crossbow arrows,

He couldn't help shouting: "Pay attention to the crossbow arrows, counterattack!"

The timing of the crossbow arrows flying from the high platform was just right, just when the wolf smoke had just dissipated, there was no preparation on the wall of miracles.

This round of forty crossbow arrows caused damage to five city crossbows on the Miracle Wall, slightly damaged two trebuchets, and injured more than a dozen knights.

In response to the orcs, countless crossbow arrows flew out, directly causing the death of hundreds of tauren, and the loss of more than a dozen city crossbows.

There are still ten orc trebuchets in good condition, and a group of foxmen are repairing the damaged trebuchets. At this time, the orc trebuchets are in place and start throwing boulders towards the miracle wall.

The accuracy of the trebuchet is like winning the lottery. Both sides have to use the trebuchet to destroy the opponent's trebuchet. The stones used in the orc's trebuchet have not been polished, although it has a stronger attack power. But less sustained lethality.

At this time, the battle of the Miracle Wall was at its most dangerous time. The tauren were disregarding life and death. Once a tauren died in front, there would be replenishment from the rear in time. If one of the city crossbows was destroyed, four more The powerful tauren sent the new city crossbow to the high platform.

Between the high platform and the wall of miracles, stones and stone balls flew against each other, and crossbow arrows kept interlacing in the air. From time to time, knights fell down and city crossbows were destroyed. The battle situation on the orc high platform was even more tragic. Protecting the trebuchet.

The long-range attack ability itself is weaker than that of humans, making the tauren a consumable item on the high platform. These most elite tauren are fighting with well-equipped humans with their lives.

Just as the two sides were attacking each other, a red fireball flew out of the white tent at the center of the orc battlefield and exploded in the air.

Tens of thousands of peak knights who received the signal rushed out from both sides of the high platform, and they rushed towards the wall of miracles with ladders in their hands.

These peak knights are all by-products of the countless peak orcs, and the best of them have become the private army of some high-level priests, but more of them are peak knights who are not top-notch, but far superior to ordinary orcs.

Now these peak knights have become the main force of the second batch of attacking the Miracle Wall. Until now, except for the orc priests who used the lives of 20 black-robed priests to consume the energy of the defensive circle of the Miracle Wall, the most powerful spell-casting battle between the two sides The force has not yet been used.

And the second batch of Peak knights was to test the limits of the defense of the human miracle wall. As long as the human wizards made a move, the orcs would know where the defense limits of those knights were.

Human wizards have limited mana. In this kind of battle, the spells they can cast are limited. Now, every time they cast a spell, they will have less attack power when facing the most powerful impact of the orcs.

Howling, the Peak Knights charged towards the Wall of Miracles, stepping on the corpses of their own race. They had never been so close to the top of the Wall of Miracles. They were the closest orcs to the top of the Wall of Miracles in thousands of years.

The ladder is made of bamboo, which is light and tough. The most important thing is that there is a place in the orc empire that produces this kind of bamboo, so this kind of bamboo ladder is not precious to the orcs, and it can be used as a consumable together with the peak knight.

"Attention, the orcs are attacking the city, bow and arrow salvo!" The knight commander shouted.

Arrows flew down from the Miracle Wall, and some Peak Knights fell down, but more Peak Knights rushed under the Miracle Wall with their arrows. They put up the ladder, gave up their mounts and began to climb up.

Every knight on the Miracle Wall is an official knight, and they only need to defend for two hours each time, so their grudges are not low, especially at this time.

As the grudges on the knights flickered, the shooting speed of the bows and arrows increased, and none of the Peak knights could climb halfway before being shot and killed by arrows.

But the Peak Knights are still climbing upwards, and the human knights have repeatedly probed downwards to attack, which also gives more opportunities to attack the opposite high platform, which increases the casualties of the human knights.

The two human archers, Hector and Manuel, are already tired. Although they don't need to string and deploy arrows, every time they are fired, they have to be carefully calculated. Both of them are old. This kind of battle It's still too intense for them.

However, the giant war city crossbow controlled by the two archers is still exerting terrifying attack power. With every attack here, the city crossbow will be damaged on the high platform 250 meters away.

The two of them caused more damage to the orc city crossbow than all other human city crossbows combined, but now their feet were already trembling when stepping on the trigger mechanism, and their heads were already covered with sweat.

The knight commander also saw the state of the two sharp archers, but at this time he did not dare to order the two sharp archers to rest, because there are no rotating sharp archers available on the human side. With the high platform on the opposite side constantly replenishing the city crossbow, there will be no limit to the damage to the wall of miracles.
