Chapter 1,337: The All-Powerful Fire Attack
There was a sound of killing, and the thousands of troops under Zeyuan City were frantically attacking the city, but it was obvious that they would not take down the city so quickly. After all, the players in Zeyuan City were still there, and their walls were relatively strong. More importantly, our Shenwei Cannon's ammunition reserves were far less than when we attacked Tieluan City.
…
"Shenwei Cannon, stop attacking."
Carrying Butterfly, I came to the position of the Imperial Guards. After I gave the order, 20 Shenwei Cannons stopped firing one after another. Han Yuan walked forward with a bloody long sword and said, "General, what's wrong?"
"This is not a solution. The Shenwei Cannon may be used up before it can melt the ice layer outside their city wall." I frowned and said, "Is there anything around to start a fire?"
Xiao Li narrowed his eyes: "My lord, do you want to use fire to attack?"
"Yes." I nodded: "Their city wall is cast with ice. The weather here is too cold, and the water is freezing at any time, so I plan to use fire to melt the ice, and then the Shenwei Cannon can actually attack the wall. How many shells do we have?"
"Reporting to the Great Master, there are less than 100 Shenwei Cannon shells." Jingyin clasped his fists.
"So little..." I frowned and said, "Where are the fire starters?"
Xia Ye said, "General, I know something about this. On the way we came, there is a whistling forest with black trees. The locals call it black beech. Black beech naturally exudes tree oil. These tree oils will burn when they meet fire, and even water cannot extinguish them. Moreover, this black beech forest is not far from here. Should we send soldiers to cut them down?"
I nodded: "Take people to cut them down immediately, don't delay."
"Yes!"
Xia Ye raised his hand and raised his spear. After shouting, about 10,000+ heavy cavalrymen of the Royal Guards rode away, and also pulled hundreds of chariots. In siege warfare, this kind of chariot with 4 horses and 7 people has lost its function, but it is good for hauling fire starters.
We, the Dragon Slayer, mainly attacked the northern wall, while near the western wall, the 300w+ army of the Chiyou tribe was frantically attacking the city. The siege was led by Xing Tian himself, and there were many strange ancient soldiers that could fly. This caused a lot of headaches for the players in Zeyuan City. The Russian population was originally small, with 1800w+ registered players, but no more than 1200w could be online, and now, no more than 1000w could help defend the city.
Although our number was not as large as theirs, we were obviously more capable of fighting, and the guilds we brought with us on this trip, such as Dragon Slayer, Hero's Tomb, Judgment, Enemy at the Gates, and Sharpness, were all guilds that were good at attacking. As for the guilds that were good at defending, such as Prague, they had already stayed in Tianling City, so it was not easy for Zeyuan City to stop our offensive. In fact, the idea of Brown Eyes was also very simple. If they could defend Zeyuan City within 24 hours, they would become the only remaining first-level main city under the iron hoof of the Chinese war zone.
We are not in a hurry to attack. After Lin Wan'er knew what I meant, she asked the Dragon Slayers to launch feint attacks again and again, and the losses suffered were greatly reduced. We must preserve a sufficient number of the God-Melting Iron Cavalry. Their 40% increase in destructive power against the city walls can still be put to good use!
...
About two hours later, a large number of imperial guards came from the north, each heavy cavalry dragged a long bundle of dry firewood made of black beech wood. Han Yuan rode the Thunder Dragon from the sky, and there were also many black beech wood tied on the dragon's back. He smiled and said, "General, we are back. How should we attack this fire attack?"
"Simple, the shield formation pushes the battle line to the bottom of the city, and the black beech wood is continuously piled at the foot of the city wall. It doesn't matter if they shoot rockets. Form a line of fire under the city, use the rising hot air flow to melt the ice on the city wall, and after the ice is completely melted, concentrate the Shenwei Cannon to bombard one direction and break the wall. Do you understand?"
"I understand, do it right away!"
Soon, Han Yuan gathered about 20,000 sword and shield battalion soldiers, all of whom were the barbarians I brought back from the wilderness. The barbarians are extremely powerful and can still run fast while holding a huge shield as heavy as one person's weight. Behind the shield formation are heavy cavalry and chariots dragging black beech wood. It took nearly an hour to conclude these combinations.
An hour later, the offensive began.
Under my instruction, Hua Qiang Yihujiu led Longxiang's 30,000+ cavalry players to take the lead. Hua Qiang was also an unstoppable general. He took on the task of being cannon fodder. Then, with a swipe of his spear, tens of thousands of people rushed to the north wall of Zeyuan City with a roar of killing. Along the way, they were baptized by long-range equipment such as magic crystal cannons, fire rock cannons, and crossbow carts. Then, when they approached the city, they began to suffer from the attacks of Zeyuan City's archers, musketeers, and spiritualists. In an instant, they suffered heavy losses.
"Go!"
I raised my sword, and the Royal Guards whistled away. The Sword and Shield Battalion quickly approached the city wall, and under the cover of Longxiang players, they helped the heavy cavalry pile up the black beech wood under the city.
The players on the city were dumbfounded. A leader-level player was stunned: "What are these Chinese going to do? Are they going to use this black wood to pile up stairs to climb up the city wall? Ahahaha, it's just a foolish dream. The wall of Zeyuan City is 35 meters high. Do they want to pile these broken wood on the wall?"
They laughed loudly, and then poured more fierce attacks on Longxiang players and the Royal Guards.
Only Mu Xin stood there with a frown and said: "No, these woods are... Wuzhu wood from Xiaofeng Forest, right? Oh my God... these Chinese people want to use fire attack!"
"No way?" Dong Ma neighed in astonishment: "If that's the case, it's over..."
As he spoke, Dong Ma neighed suddenly and turned around and shouted: "Hurry up, pour the water in the bucket on those black beech trees, we must not let the Chinese succeed!"
Before he finished speaking, Han Yuan in the distance had already controlled the Thunder Dragon and raised his long sword: "Archers, prepare rockets!"
Nearly 5,000 Dark Moon Spirit archers lit flames on their arrows. The next moment, the heavy cavalry and Long Xiang's players all retreated, and countless fire arrows rushed into the sky and "popped" on the black beech trees. These black beech trees are naturally flammable when they encounter fire. The bark is permeated with an unpleasant smell of oil. Under the bombardment of the magic crystal cannon, many of them have been burning fiercely. Now they are covered by rockets and burned into a piece.
The players on the city wall kept pouring water, but it couldn't stop the burning of the black beech wood. Instead, after being poured with water, it burned with thick smoke. Now it was a north windy day. When the strong wind blew, the endless thick smoke enveloped the entire city. The players on the city wall were not feeling well and coughed continuously.
"This is our great opportunity!" Li Mu clenched his fist and laughed: "Damn, these villains in Zeyuan City have also had this day. It's so cool to see. When will we launch a general attack? Take down Zeyuan City in one fell swoop!"
Me: "Don't worry, burn it for a while. The ice layer on the city wall is at least two or three meters, and it hasn't completely melted yet!"
"Yeah."
Li Mu has already raised his sword and shouted: "Melting God Iron Cavalry, prepare to assemble!"
This is our strongest wave of attack!
…
The fire burned for nearly half an hour, roasting the entire north wall red, and the tin layer under the ice was completely exposed. I immediately turned around and ordered: "Shenwei Cannon, aim at the right side of the city gate and bomb, and use up all the shells within three minutes!"
"Yes!"
The heavy artillery battalion quickly attacked, and the next moment the sound of artillery continued. Mushroom clouds with shock waves were stirring on the city wall. The tin that was already burning red quickly melted, and deep pits were blown out on the wall. In a blink of an eye, the nearly 100-meter city wall was riddled with holes, and the black beech wood below gradually burned out and turned into a pile of ashes. It was a great opportunity to attack.
Raising the butterfly sword, I smiled slightly: "Brothers, charge!"
In an instant, everyone's emotions rose. Not only the 50,000+ people of Zhanlong, but also nearly 100,000 people from Yingxiongzhong and Fengmang rushed over with us.
The eyes of the Zeyuan City players on the city wall were red, not because of killing, but because of the thick smoke. Their situation was worse than ever. The city wall, which was originally nearly 20 meters wide, had been bombarded by the Shenwei cannon to less than 10 meters. I drove to the bottom of the city wall in the god form as soon as possible.
"Hurry up, focus fire and kill Xiaoyao Zizai, he is going to destroy the city wall!" A team leader shouted loudly. He stood on the edge of the damaged city wall with a longbow. The players behind him rushed up and squeezed him off the city wall. It was really miserable.
A flurry of attack skills came before my eyes. I took it upon myself to condense the Star Shield to block them all. Then the golden light on the Butterfly Sword shot up into the sky, and the strongest killing move landed on the already broken city wall. With a blow of the Wind Slash, the bricks of the city turned into powder, and the defense of the city wall was instantly disintegrated from the inside out. With a "bang", a large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters was directly torn on the city wall. Countless bricks flew into the city, and the city quickly collapsed. The players on the city were already terrified.
Behind me, Lin Wan'er, Li Mu, Wang Jian, Matcha and others all drove over in their god form, and almost defeated the defenders of the city wall with a crushing advantage. Even Mu Xin and Dong Ma Changshi, two leader-level players, were buried under Li Mu's sword.
The north city wall has been broken!
…
The three guilds, Zhanlong, Yingxiongzhong, and Fengmang, rushed into the city side by side. With the god-level players clearing the way, they quickly broke through the street fighting defense line organized by the other party and killed their way to the inner city wall. The inner city wall was not particularly high, only about 20 meters at most. The dragon crystal cannon and fire rock cannon of the Royal Guards were quickly pushed into the city and began to bombard the inner city wall.
In another direction, Xing Tian split the city gate with Ganqi, and also led countless warriors of the Chiyou tribe to kill into the west city gate. At this moment, Zeyuan City almost completely lost its resistance. They were desperate!
