Chapter 84: Fierce Battle in the City

After the huge battering ram stopped, the surrounding soldiers immediately surrounded it. They took out huge steel nails from the siege vehicle, and then fixed the vehicle body to the ground. Some chocks are tucked under the wheels to help stabilize the body.

The personnel in the car began to turn the huge winch, and the all-steel ram hanging on the beam was pulled back.

"They are going to hit the city, think of a way!" Some players began to panic, but we didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing.

That damn siege vehicle is as strong as a tank, and our rocks, bombs, and fire have no effect. There are only two ways to deal with this kind of thing. The first way is to use heavy artillery to concentrate attacks from a long distance, but it is obviously impossible to do this now. The second option is to get close and send someone into the car to destroy it. However, this thing is guarded by a large number of high-level NPCs, and it is impossible for us to rush in no matter what. Even if they really stormed in, the loss would probably be more serious than having the city wall broken open by a battering ram.

When we were at our wits' end, the enemy had already pulled off the connecting bolts of the winch and ram hooks. The heavy hammer weighing more than a hundred tons hit the city wall with the sound of howling wind. There was only a loud sound of teeth chattering, and the city wall seemed to shake. Although the enemy's battering ram is very large, our city wall is made of steel plates and rocks, with steel bars in the middle to support it. The ability of such a city wall to withstand attacks is not comparable to that of a wooden city gate. Although this battering ram can break open ordinary city walls, it is not that simple to break open our city wall.

The first impact caused a half-foot-deep crater in our city wall, and the steel plate was deformed. The enemy began to roll the winch again, and the battering ram was pulled back to the attack position, and then crashed into the city wall again. The sound was like striking a bronze bell standing on the ground. The sound was so dull that it made people feel hairy.

"Work harder and come again!" came the voice of the opponent's commander from the ramming car.

The ram was pulled up a third time. Then it hit the city wall again with the sound of howling wind. Boom. The sound was a little different this time. The first armor plate was completely deformed by the impact. There was a dent in the middle and all the surrounding parts were raised. The enemy pulled off the steel plate that could not be tightly connected to the city wall due to severe deformation, and the ram hit the city wall without armor plate again. With a bang, the effect was obvious this time. The all-steel battering ram was inserted into the city wall more than a foot deep in one breath. When it exited again, a large amount of yellow sand-like stone powder was taken out. The rock wall had no defense like steel plates. There is no way he can withstand such an attack.

"This won't work. You guys go down and destroy the car!" The American president who bought the city finally lost his temper. Following his order, four thousand-level NPC guards jumped down.

Ordinarily, guards with a level of 1,000 are indeed high-level guards, but the current enemies are not players or those little monsters with a few hundred levels. These are regional guards, not simple enemies. The four NPCs started killing each other as soon as they landed. The attacking enemies were indeed no match for them, but the four of them could only slowly approach the battering ram. Although I'm not in favor of letting the guards go over and destroy the battering ram. But now that people have gone down, we can only pray that they succeed.

I said to the players from other countries who were still in a daze: "Don't stand there, cover the guards."

Everyone immediately began to cover the four guards with powerful firepower. The four of them were also very up to date. They charged all the way and actually got close to the battering ram. We had not been happy for a long time when suddenly an arrow flew from nowhere. The feather arrow accurately penetrated the guard's left eye, and the guard fell down without any reaction.

"Where did the arrow come from?" I almost shouted.

"Over there." A player's sharp eyes spotted the enemy who was shooting arrows. "Behind the shield formation over there is the guy in the black robe."

"Where's the sniper?"

"Here!" A player gestured to me holding an oversized musket.

"Can it hit?"

"I can't penetrate those shields at this distance!"

"It's really terrible!" I turned around and said to the players behind me: "Send up the sniper cannon over there."

The players looked at me and quickly brought up the cannon. The sniper cannon was pushed to the edge of the city wall. After finding the target, start shooting quickly. The enemy's shield certainly couldn't block the shells, but we were discovered after only firing one shot. A large number of mages and trebuchets regarded us as the primary target. In desperation, we had to transport the cannon down again. The enemy's attack was too fierce.

Although the sharp archer was killed, the four guards who went down were also killed. The president wanted to send someone down, so I quickly stopped him. "Stop doing stupid things, you are wasting your fighting power!"

"Then what should we do?" The guy suddenly looked at me excitedly: "By the way, where are your NPCs? Didn't you have a lot of guards at the beginning? I think those guys seem to be very powerful. How come after the explosion? Missing?"

"Those are city guards. Windmill City was in the sky just now. It was okay for them to move near Windmill City, but now Windmill City is no longer there. My guards cannot move in your city, and of course they are gone now. It’s my limit to be able to mobilize so many totem beasts to help you!”

Ying suddenly asked: "By the way, Ashford. What is that thing of yours for? I haven't seen you open fire until now. Is it a self-destruct bomb?"

"How is that possible!" Ashford said confidently: "That thing can't be used yet, and we just made it. It hasn't been officially tested yet!"

"Isn't it really a bomb?"

"I already told you it's not the case. Don't ask anymore. You will know what it is when it starts up."

"So mysterious?"

"I can't explain it to you clearly. You'll know when you see it."

People don’t want to say that we can’t help it. The problem now is the battering ram below. That thing is really a thorn in our side, but there is nothing we can do about it! Advanced military assaults, explosives, falling rocks, everything possible was tried, but the effect was almost zero.

boom! Another impact. After the first layer of armor was removed, the city wall became fragile. Several consecutive impacts had completely scattered the rocks behind the first layer of armor. The enemy was stunned for a while after pulling out the rock. They thought they could move forward by breaking through the first layer of armor. But our design caused them a lot of trouble. After the rock behind the first layer of steel plates was crushed, the steel plates were still exposed. The outside of the city wall is a layer of rock covered with a layer of steel plates, and the second layer of steel plates and the first layer are actually staggered, which means that they only saw two holes along the first layer of steel plates. Half a steel plate, so they can't knock it out of shape and pry it off like the first layer of steel plate, because half of the two half steel plates are buried in the force of the wall next to them, so they can't pry it up at all.

The enemy howled angrily, and the battering ram hit the steel plate again. Although the steel plate is still deforming this time. But they were never able to take it down, and ended up having to knock it down one after another.

Time is a good thing, it has unparalleled power. Because the clever design of the second steel plate delayed the enemy, we got enough time to think of a solution. The first thing we thought of was crystal beetles. These little things eat everything, including battering rams. But we are not the only ones thinking of ways during this period, the enemy is also thinking of ways.

When we prepared the crystal beetles, the enemy actually had three more siege rams. The four battering rams were close together and colliding continuously. In this way, all the steel plates at a certain distance can be removed. Our crystal beetles swarmed down from the city wall. The enemy immediately began to exterminate the insects after discovering them. Unfortunately, the number of insects was too great.

After taking heavy casualties, the crystal beetle finally entered the battering ram, and then screams began to erupt from inside. With a bang, the wheels of the battering ram on the far left suddenly fell off. Then we heard the sound of metal twisting. The crystal beetle probably bit off the steel beam, and the ceiling of the battering ram suddenly collapsed, and the hundred-ton impactor fell to the ground with a loud bang, shaking the ground.

The American president who owns this city said happily: "Why didn't you think of using these little bugs earlier! How wonderful!"

After the first battering ram collapsed, the enemy began to become confused. They used a large area of ​​flame magic to deal with our crystal beetles. But the effect is not very good. With a roar, the ram of the battering ram in the middle also fell down, and then the four walls of the battering ram fell simultaneously on all sides as planned. Four steel pillars support the ceiling, but a battering ram without walls has no defensive value. We dropped a bomb and killed that guy.

The third and fourth battering rams did not last long. The little bugs entered the inside of the battering ram and gnawed at it, and the behemoth completely fell apart. Less than half of the crystal beetles that were discharged came back, but the combat efficiency of these little guys was really nothing to say.

I originally thought that the battlefield situation was beginning to tilt towards us. But God's calculation is not as good as man's calculation. When the enemy's siege rams were finished, our artillery also began to overheat in large numbers. The shelling just now was a little too violent. Although a large number of enemies were eliminated, the artillery could no longer hold on. We had to let the artillery units take turns firing to buy enough time to dissipate heat, but then there were suddenly more enemies under the city wall. Fortunately, the battering ram was no longer there. The enemies were blocked under the city and unable to enter. We took the opportunity to start a massacre.

The number of enemies was like ants. After thirty minutes of massacre, the enemy just piled up the city wall with corpses. I have only seen this description in books before. Today I saw it for real. The thirty-meter-high city wall had been filled in because of the plants, and there were still more than twenty meters left. As a result, the corpses that followed one after another pushed the slope higher and higher, and finally a slope completely formed by corpses finally reached near the top of the city wall. Now the slope is close to the city wall, and the top of the wall is only a little more than one meter. The enemy's war horses can already jump up.

Seeing that the death slope has been formed, we can no longer rely on American musketeers. I drew out eternity. "The musketeers retreat and the melee troops move forward. Don't let the enemy climb the city wall."

The musketeers neatly put away their weapons and began to move backwards, while those of us who were good at hand-to-hand combat pushed to the front. I took the sub-dragon cavalry to guard this section in the middle of the city wall. This is the section where the enemy's attack is strongest. Without our strength, we would not be able to withstand it.

The last bit of the city wall was finally filled in. The first enemy jumped in from me. Ping. There was a shot from behind me, and the guy was shot back again. Those American players did not leave the city wall, they just retreated behind us, and they could still support us at close range during our hand-to-hand combat.

The first guy who jumped in was pushed back, but this did not affect the enemy's progress. They can fill up the city wall with corpses, and they don't care about this loss at all. The second guy jumped in immediately, and I swung Eternity away like I was playing baseball. The guy raised his sword and collided with my eternity. As a result, I cut off his sword and his neck. When he hit the ground he had broken into two parts.

Someone else came in right after that guy. Before I could take action, Yeying suddenly struck down the guy and the people behind him with a chain of lightning. However, a bolt of lightning was not enough to kill them. These people got up and rushed into the city again. A guy suddenly jumped in on a horse. Ye Ying carried me forward and took a step forward. I flicked Eternity, and Eternity in the form of a whip sword immediately became very long. The blade cut off the guy's horse head and then chopped him in half.

Although I succeeded in many attacks, there were more and more enemies. And the forward speed is getting faster and faster, and I have begun to rush. The magic pets are similar to me. The number of enemies gives us a headache. All disadvantages are made up by the endless number of enemies!

Just when we almost couldn't hold on anymore, Ashford's device suddenly started up. The earth-shaped object on the base actually unfolded. After unfolding, the sphere turned into something that looked like a satellite antenna. This inverted umbrella-like device lowered toward the outside of the city. When the pole in the center was aimed at the enemies outside, the enemies outside suddenly began to fall down in pieces. Not only the enemy, but also us were fooled. When this thing is started, it is the same as when it is not started. There is no sound and no fire. All our weapons are deafening and powerful, but this weapon is surprisingly quiet.

After mowing down a large number of enemies, the thing turned in another direction. The enemies fell one after another. Perhaps realizing that this thing was too dangerous, several high-ranking enemies jumped over in an attempt to destroy the device.

This thing is so powerful, how could I let the enemy destroy it! He jumped up and pulled down an enemy that was approaching, and then got into a fight with this guy. I was so excited just now that I rushed towards him without thinking about anything else. After attacking, I learned from Xingtong's display that this guy was a level 1000 boss!

I have strengthened myself a lot since coming back from the demon world, but now I am only level 785 after all. There is still a huge gap between the level 1000 boss and me. That guy wasn't paying attention just now so I knocked him down. When he found me now, he immediately raised his hand and pushed me out.

I didn't want to cling to him at all, so I just used the principles of Tai Chi to jump out with his power. As soon as I landed, I immediately stabilized my body, then lowered my body and passed through the enemy's gap. After I was thrown out, the guy turned around and planned to continue attacking Ashford's weapon, but he didn't expect me to rush back again.

"Dragon Breaking Strike!" A precise punch hit the guy's vest, and the chest in front of him suddenly exploded, and a large piece of blood-red stuff flew out. The guy stared in disbelief and fell down.

The Dragon Breaking Technique is actually a technique to control the explosive point of power. I usually focus my power on the enemy's body to achieve powerful destructive power. But since I learned Tai Chi. I discovered that the Shenlong Breaking Strike technique can actually send the power a certain distance before bursting out. This time I just used this guy for an experiment, and I hit him directly behind the heart. Then send the power a certain distance and let the blow explode at his heart.

No matter what kind of master you are, even if you know hard qigong such as the Golden Bell Shield, you can only practice it on your skin. The heart is always fragile. The attack just now sent power directly into his body, and then his heart was completely shocked. In "Zero", no matter what kind of creature it is, and no matter how many levels you have, a critical attack is a critical attack. It doesn't matter what kind of creature you are, it will be dead without its heart. But today I am taking a trick. Generally speaking, higher-level creatures have higher defense capabilities. Even a level 1000 boss will die if it is hit in the heart, brain, neck, etc. But under normal circumstances you can't touch these positions at all.

After this guy fell down, I quickly ran towards the instrument and knocked down several guys who were in the way. Although I tried my best to sprint, an enemy rushed to the instrument first. Judging from this guy's armor, he is in the same category as the level 1000 guy just now. The German players couldn't stop this guy at all. He rushed to the instrument, jumped up, and then slashed the satellite dish with his sword.

I originally thought that this instrument was going to be scrapped, but I didn't know that the guy's weapon suddenly stopped cutting as soon as it touched the antenna. A powerful force bound the weapon in the air, and it couldn't be cut no matter how hard it was tried.

I quickly rushed behind the guy and jumped over him. Use Shenlong Break to attack his vest position again. This guy was smarter than the last guy. After discovering my intention, he immediately gave up his weapon and jumped directly to the side. He suddenly left his original position but I couldn't stop. If I flew in front of that thing, I would definitely be as dead as the enemy outside. With quick eyesight and quick hands, I grabbed the hilt of the guy's sword and successfully slowed down without rushing in with the help of this sword.

After holding this sword, I suddenly felt a high temperature. This sword is so hot! If it hadn't been for the Magic Dragon Suit, I would have been so hot that I would have jumped up. However, the Magic Dragon Suit can isolate most of the heat and only allow my hands to feel the temperature without getting burned.

Now I know how that guy dodged my attack so accurately just now. He didn't see me at all. It was just the high temperature that forced him to throw away his weapon. I just happened to launch the attack before he let go.

The guy was also very surprised after he landed. He looked at the sword that had turned red, and then rushed towards me. But he only rushed halfway when suddenly a black figure collided with him, and the guy immediately flew out and knocked down a section of the wall.

"Everyone go over. Protect the launcher." Hongyue's voice appeared from behind, and a large number of steel giants came up.

It turned out that Hong Yue had transferred the golem troops over. These guys formed a defense line under the launcher, and the enemy couldn't get through no matter how hard they rushed. The golem's body is insensitive to damage. Therefore, they basically did not block the enemy's attacks, but instead slashed with one sword for another. The devil is not afraid of being slashed, but the opponent can't stand it, and as a result, his momentum is lost. A steel city wall composed of a group of golems stood in front of the launcher and refused to retreat. No matter how hard the enemy rushed, they could not get through. Some enemies came up on war horses and tried to knock down the demons, but they were thrown back by the demons together with their horses.

This unknown transmitter is really powerful. If there were one or two hundred of these on the city wall, the city could be defended without guards at all. Enemies come one after another to destroy it. But still couldn't get close. An enemy archer suddenly fired an explosive arrow at the launcher, but the dart jumped up accurately, caught the arrow and threw it back into the local crowd. The speed of darts is faster than bullets, and any flying weapon can catch it as long as the mass is not too large.

Although the golem's defense was airtight, the enemy began to use the old tactic of piling corpses again. A large number of enemy corpses gradually piled up, and the demon had to retreat if not, otherwise it would be buried by the corpses.

I saw something was wrong and quickly said to Ashford: "Quick, the enemy is about to start a full-scale charge. Hurry back with your weapons."

"No! All my people are dead. There is no way to transport it now!"

"Tch! Is there anyone who can't move while we are here? Ziyue, come here and help me."

Ziyue was originally commanding the artillery positions from the rear. Hearing me calling her in the private chat, she quickly ran over. I pointed at the launcher and said, "That thing is very important and cannot be destroyed by the enemy. Please help move it to the rear."

"It's a joke!" Ziyue immediately summoned her two Titans. These two guys lifted the huge launcher like a sculpture and ran away.

Seeing that the launcher had been transported away, I quickly said on the war channel: "All non-front-line troops are now retreating to the second line of defense in the city. The first-line troops are reorganizing their formation and preparing to retreat. The artillery unit, the artillery range is to The city moved to the line of the city walls.”

The American musketeers and mages who were still supporting us began to quickly leave the city wall and move toward the city behind. This city has been completely fortified. Every building is a bunker and every street is a firepower. We know that it is impossible to keep the enemy out of the city. Therefore, the city has been transformed a long time ago. The enemy cheated and failed to attack the city for the first time, so we used that time to reorganize the city. This is how we fully utilized the enemy's strategy and used it to our advantage. If they don't come, we'll hurry up and make repairs.

The musketeers and mages all retreated to the barricades and buildings under the city wall. The artillery fire from behind also began to gradually approach the city. The shells exploded on the pile of corpses near the city wall, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere. A cannonball even fell on the city wall and almost knocked me out.

After seeing that all the non-hand-to-hand combat troops had completed their evacuation, I quickly ordered: "Clear the Dragon Clan! The first-line troops retreated to the second line of defense."

Our totem dragon suddenly fell from the sky, and a burst of dragon flames instantly turned the city wall into a sea of ​​fire. The demon puppets skillfully picked up the wounded around them and started running back. We also ran. The enemy wants to chase us, but Longyan is too strong, and they can't rush over anyway.

Before the dragon flames ended, a group of spears suddenly rushed from behind. These are the guardian spears of our guild players. This time, the long guns carried a large number of bombs. These were shotgun bombs customized for the long guns. Each bomb contained thousands of small bombs, specially used to deal with dense crowds.

The way the spears dropped their bombs this time was very strange. They flew over at high speed from behind the city, and suddenly pulled up when they reached the tops of the dragons. The spearmen threw their bombs when their bodies reached a vertical angle. With the help of inertia, these bombs began to decelerate towards the sky at a vertical angle, while the spears directly completed the large roll in the air and escaped from the area above the city wall with their bellies in the sky. After flying a certain distance, they rolled half a circle in a unified movement to return to normal flying attitude and flew back.

After the strange bombing of the spears, the dragons suddenly ended their dragon flames and turned around and ran away. The enemies were confused. But they soon figured out what was going on. The lance-land bombing method is to climb up and release the bomb, which means that the bomb is flying upward. However, bombs have no power. After their kinetic energy is consumed, they begin to follow the law of gravity and fall to the ground.

The purpose of this lob is not to deliver the bomb accurately. The only motivation for doing this is to gain time. After the bomb is dropped, it will take some time for the bomb to fly upward before falling. The dragon just uses this time to turn around and escape. When the enemy discovered that the dragon was retreating, they immediately began to pursue it, but at this time the bomb happened to fall.

Boom boom boom boom...! Explosions on the city wall continued to send shrapnel flying across the city wall, causing heavy casualties to the enemy. In this delay, the dragons have disappeared, and we soldiers have also reached the second line of defense.

This beautiful defensive change was done without any training. It is really worthy of celebration to be able to complete it so successfully. I originally thought that someone would make a mistake in the instruction and fall behind, but I didn't expect that it was completed successfully.

Because there were no more people on the city wall, artillery fire immediately began to cover the city wall. The enemy rushed down the city wall under artillery fire and was immediately attacked by volleys of guns. The archers were not willing to be lonely and attacked the enemy with arrows. A large number of enemies fell under the city wall. The feeling reminded me of the execution scene in the concentration camp in the movie. Rows of people stood under the wall and were knocked to the ground.

The enemy lost their leader and vanguard from the beginning of this battle, so they basically had no tactics at all. They just kept charging and charging. Even though the casualties were so serious, the opponent continued to charge forward without feeling anything at all. Several level 1000 bosses were 'shot' into hedgehogs and insisted on rushing to the barricades we had built before falling down. Using his body as a cover, the troops behind rushed to the barricades and began to climb over them, but came from the buildings on both sides. The crossfire from the object window knocked them down again.

We were having a good time here, but the city wall suddenly fell down. The shelling was so intensive that the city wall with its thousands of windows and holes could no longer withstand such torment. After shaking for a while, it finally collapsed. Without the city wall, it would be much easier for the enemy to attack. They can directly pass through the ruins of the city wall that has turned into a hillside and rush towards our second line of defense.

Suddenly, a strange roar sounded from behind the enemy, and then the enemy took the initiative to separate a passage. With the help of this passage, I could clearly see a group of rhinoceros-like monsters rushing towards me from behind the enemy. Good guy. These guys are planning to knock the barricade away!

Those big guys were so fast that the ground shook as they ran. Seeing that they were about to reach us, I ordered the golem troops to jump over the barricade and stand in a row outside, and then asked them to follow my actions.

The posture I took is actually a bit like the movements during a rugby match. This posture is actually used to withstand the impact force. After the monsters got into position, I made a grabbing and throwing action in the air and asked them to do the same after they were hit by those monsters.

Although the intelligence of the devil is not high. Imitation but precise. The rhinoceros-like monsters rushed in front of us with astonishing momentum. The monster running at the front hit a demon doll with a sudden sound. Because of its prepared posture to resist the impact, the demon doll was not knocked over, but the powerful impact force It still caused the devil's two and a half ton body to move back a lot.

After the demon was hit, it started to move according to the posture I said. They separated their hands, one reached under the monster's chin and the other grabbed the monster's head, and then pushed it back hard with both hands. A high-speed moving object can easily tilt its tail after hitting something. For example, the tail of a high-speed car often tilts when it hits a wall. Some can even do somersaults. These monsters are just like those high-speed cars. They rush forward with their heads lowered, and their rear parts naturally tilt up after hitting the monsters. When the demon followed my posture, it actually used the upward force to lift those monsters up. Since the inertia had not completely disappeared, these guys immediately turned back after being lifted up, but at this time they were already On all fours.

These monsters have carapace on their bodies, but their bellies are white and tender without any protection. It is naturally the best time to attack now that their corners are in the air. Our locals understood what I meant almost immediately. They excitedly stepped forward and stabbed them randomly, and all the monsters were killed. Before the enemy outside could catch up, we quickly jumped back behind the barricade. The enemy's collision plan completely failed.

Although these monsters were eliminated, they wasted a lot of time. By the time we returned behind the barricade, the enemy's large force had already arrived near the barricade. Our firepower obviously cannot suppress these people.

I quickly asked for help on the war channel. "Requesting air support, the second line of defense needs incendiary bombs!"

The pike troops were super fast. They arrived just a few minutes after I shouted, and a row of bombs flew into the middle of the enemy. Then those bombs suddenly exploded, sprinkling a large amount of black liquid everywhere. An American player fired a shot at the edge of the black liquid, and the liquid immediately burned. The fire spread rapidly and quickly formed a wall of fire. A large number of enemies were on fire and howling and jumping around, but we ignored them at all and incendiary bombs were thrown out one after another.

There are a large number of sharpshooters in the enemy's troops, although our air force is very effective in dropping bombs. But the losses were not small. The explosive arrows of those sharp archers were very powerful. The spear troops lost one-fifth of their bombs after just three bombings. I was so frightened that I quickly asked them to stop bombing. The spear will be used later. Now we just need to buy time for us to sort it out. There is no need to work too hard.

While the flames were still burning, we abandoned the barricade and began moving into the building. These enemies don’t know what street fighting is. Let’s show them today.

After the flames died down, the enemy discovered that we were all gone. Although this situation is very suspicious. But these Indonesian regional guards had no sense of crisis at all. They rushed over the barricades as if they saw nothing. The streets in the city are no longer wide avenues. This place has been separated into small alleys by steel plates and buildings. These lanes are wide enough for three people to pass side by side, and narrow enough for only one person to pass. The criss-crossing streets are designed like a maze, and underground passages will appear starting from the middle of the city. This three-dimensional network will definitely allow most people to turn around, but we just need something like this to stop the enemy's attack. If the Indonesian troops without thermal weapons want to pass here, they must use corpses to pile them up. Unfortunately, their losses on the road ahead were too serious. Now the remaining troops may not be able to level the maze array.

The final battle will end here, the strongest maze strangulation formation.
