Chapter 682 Avalon Meat Grinder 3
Although the tug-of-war on the outer city wall was deadlocked, the Sheeran soldiers under the city wall still took the lead.
Some were knocked down by rolling stones and some were concentrated by boiling water. The Sheeran soldiers behind them were still fearless, trampling on the bodies of their companions, shouting and charging forward.
It is impossible to break through the iron walls of Avalon Fortress by using only a ladder - Dominic knows this well.
Therefore, in order to break through the Avalon Fortress, Dominic brought all the siege equipment invented by humans and used all the siege tactics invented by humans.
After the infantry began to charge, Dominic ordered dozens of tall mounds to be built outside the outer walls of the Avalon Fortress.
These mounds were built higher than the outer wall of the Avalon Fortress, and bunkers were built on it, and then the crossbowmen hid behind the bunkers on the mound and shot down at the outer wall of the Avalon Fortress.
This will make the crossbowmen of the Sheeran army condescend, make the outer wall of Avalon Fortress lose its effect, and expose the soldiers of the Knights of the Michael on the outer wall of Avalon Fortress to be completely exposed to the bows and arrows of their Sheeran army crossbowmen.
It’s a pity that it took a lot of time to build dozens of mounds that were higher than the outer wall of the Avalon Fortress, so it has not been built so far.
In addition to building mounds, Dominic also ordered the digging of tunnels.
But like mounds, authentic tunnels cannot be dug in a short time.
In addition to ladders, trenchers, and siege crossbows, the rest of the siege equipment also appeared one after another.
The towers were tall and the siege towers with wheels under the tower were pushed towards the outer wall of the Avalon Fortress.
The soldiers from various war zones of the Avalon Fortress naturally discovered the existence of these siege towers.
Compared with those ladders, mounds, tunnels, and trenchers, these siege towers are the most threatening existence.
Because the opponent is Avalon Fortress, the siege towers transported to participate in this "Harm Battle" are all specially made.
Compared with ordinary siege towers, the siege towers transported to participate in this "Harm Battle" are even larger.
Because it is even larger, when the siege tower approaches the city wall and builds it on the city wall, it can transport more soldiers to the city wall in one breath.
The transport efficiency of these soldiers from siege towers is undoubtedly to crush the ladder.
Raymond, Samuel and others, who were responsible for the different war zones of the city wall, naturally knew the threat of these siege towers, so they ordered the crossbowmen on the inner wall to shoot at the soldiers who were pulling the siege tower below.
However, because these soldiers who were pulling the siege tower were also protected by the shield soldiers, most of the arrows were blocked by the shield soldiers' shields.
The shooting of the crossbowmen on the inner city wall can only slightly delay the progress of the siege tower.
Looking at the siege towers that were constantly approaching the outer city wall, standing on the inner city wall, Su Cheng, who was in charge of the overall situation, did not show any panic on his face.
Su Cheng was not surprised by the emergence of this special siege tower.
After all, if you want to attack a wall like Avalon Fortress but you are not even prepared to siege the city tower, then only fools may be able to do such a thing.
As soon as Su Cheng waved the order flag, he first ordered the crossbowmen on the inner city wall to replace them with rockets and conduct a tentative shot.
The crossbowmen who replaced the rockets shot a round of shooting at the siege tower that was constantly approaching the outer wall.
Rockets like locusts hit siege towers, but they had no effect.
"Sure enough..." Su Cheng murmured to himself, "The tower body of the siege tower has been soaked in advance, and the rockets have no effect at all."
Su Cheng had already predicted the fact that the siege tower was soaked in water.
In order to deal with the Sheeran army's siege tower, Avalon Fortress has always been equipped with an important strategic material.
"Willie." Su Cheng said to Willie, who had been on standby behind him, "Transport the turtle oil."
"yes!"
This important strategic material is tinea oil.
After the Holy Hillan Empire tore up the armistice agreement between the two countries and began to send troops south, the Northbound General Administration specially raised a batch of new turmeric oil and sent it to the Avalon Fortress.
Although the current turbulent reserves of Avalon Fortress are not inexhaustible, they are still enough for Su Cheng and others to squander.
Buckets of turmeric oil were carefully transported to the outer city wall.
When some of the siege towers approached and entered the range, Raymond and others, who were in charge of the front line, ordered the bucket of turbulent oil to be thrown at these siege towers that had entered the attack range.
The utensil containing tincture is made of porcelain.
Therefore, after the barrel of turbulent oil was thrown onto the siege tower, it broke out in response, and the turbulent oil contained in it broke out, splashing all over the body of the siege tower.
"shooting!"
Su Cheng waved the order flag and ordered the crossbowmen on the inner city wall to shoot a rocket volley.
Waves of fire rose into the air on the inner city wall, falling towards the siege towers that had been splashed with tinder oil.
Even though the bodies of these siege towers were soaked in water in advance, they were still just a little while they were filled with tinder oil.
After the rocket's arrow touched the siege tower, it immediately ignited, and the fire soon soared into the sky.
The siege towers that were first introduced to the attack range and were first filled with tinder oil were quickly ignited by the fire, and within a short while it turned into a ball of ashes.
Dominic, who was watching the battle in this formation, looked at the ashes of the siege towers, and his face was as deep as water, and he said in his heart:
——It is truly worthy of being the first fortress of the Britannian Empire. It has abundant material reserves, and turmeric oil is like it is free of money...
Just as Su Cheng expected that Dominic would definitely dispatch a large number of special siege towers, Dominic also expected that the Avalon Fortress would definitely have extremely abundant material reserves, and strategic resources such as tincture oil would definitely be sufficient.
The Avalon Fortress has a large amount of tinder oil reserves, and the Sheeran army has also brought a large number of siege towers.
Because it was expected that the Avalon Fortress would definitely have sufficient tinder oil, Dominic specially requested to transfer a large number of siege towers.
Dominic just wants to compete with Su Cheng.
Bibi looked at Su Cheng's tinder oil used up.
It was his Dominic's siege tower that was burned out first.
Dominic doesn't believe that Su Cheng's tincture oil is inexhaustible.
Therefore, even though a group of siege towers were burned to ashes, Dominic did not stop the order to attack.
Continue to order the siege tower to move forward.
At the same time, more siege towers were ordered to be sent.
Let me have a battle of attrition with Su Cheng to see if your turbulent is used up first or my siege tower is burned up first.
The battle continued.
Both sides kept replacing their soldiers, replacing them with resting soldiers, and engaged in an seemingly endless war of attrition.
People are constantly injured, people are constantly dead, and people are constantly taking the position of the dead.
