Common siege battles in TV dramas often give the audience a mistake, that is, the siege team is so incompetent that they actually build a ladder to climb the wall against rolling stones and wood. The defenders only need to squat down where the ladder is set up to easily climb the wall.
Harvest.
In fact, this is just for shooting convenience, so that the audience can understand a simplified version of the "performance" of siege. In a real siege, the siege party will rarely use this pure death-defying style, and generally there will be insufficient tools and equipment.
The refugee rebels who have not yet been able to use local materials to build their own weapons will only use this method to attack some small cities when they have no other choice.
In a world with magic, what would it be like for regular troops to siege a city?
The Sixth Army, which was originally playing with the elves on the Western Front battlefield, brought a large number of magic guns.
The structure of this magic gun is very strange. It is in the shape of a long cross stake, about one meter long, and is usually controlled by two people.
After the user fills the groove of the cross magic gun with magic crystal, magic core and other energy containing magic power, the internal inscriptions will absorb the magic power and release pure pure magic cannonballs.
These white light bombs with a hint of blue light are so destructive that ordinary bunkers cannot withstand a round of bombing.
If a magician uses these magic guns and continuously provides magic power, they can even produce the effect of a laser gun - as long as Selel is willing to burn these expensive weapons.
Since the beginning of the war, Lu Yu has not been able to raise his head. The newly built city wall in front of the moat was blown to pieces by the saturated magic gun without any pressure.
In order to prevent Blue Water's counterattack, some magic guns deliberately raised their shooting angles, crossed the first city wall, and hit the Wengcheng wall, causing the bricks and stones here to fly and dust to fly.
Lu Yu tried to poke his head several times to observe the situation, but was pushed to the ground by Sigrid, who had excellent eyesight and observed Selel's attack movements.
Lu Yu was just glad at this moment that the damage this magic gun could cause had nothing to do with the strength of the user and the energy intensity of the filling. After all, the strength of the material determined the maximum output of this weapon.
However, after this round of baptism, Lu Yu truly felt that craftsmen are indeed the magician's best partner and biggest enemy.
"How many of these magic guns are there in Seriel?" Lu Yu covered his ears and shouted to little Kelu'er who was hiding from the gunfire.
Little Keluer's tail was dusty under the constant bombardment, and she was also a mess.
"It is said that the Sixth Army has eight thousand men."
Considering how wealthy Serel is, not to mention a handful of people, at least two-thirds of the Sixth Army must be equipped with this thing.
Sure enough, there are really "good news" here in Blue Water.
The southern city gate guarded by Yueying Prince Yinsa had been blown out of the gap. Yueying's magicians used a mixed flow of barriers to block the first round of the attack.
The defense of Ye Shui's Personal Guard Magician Gate at the West City Gate is relatively solid, but despite this, cracks have appeared in the West City Gate, so they had no choice but to start looking for huge rocks in the city to block the gate.
Le Lin from the East City was the best performer. Taking advantage of being able to fly a little, the elves sent out 500 people before the opponent's volley, rushed into the enemy's formation, and killed the Serel soldiers who had not expected to come out of the city for a surprise attack.
He was caught off guard and escaped before the opponent's high-level combat power appeared, and even captured several magic guns.
It seems that Lelin's arrogance has some merit.
Lu Yu's North City was completely in a passive state of being attacked. Round after round of attacks continued, and Lu Yu never allowed the defenders to deploy a magic barrier.
The magic guards sent by Ye Shui were puzzled, but they did not dare to ask and just silently guarded Lu Yu's safety.
Regarding the magic gun, Lulutis gave Lu Yu a very important tip before leaving.
This thing is actually a magic version of a fire stick. After using it for a period of time, the magic gun needs to be cooled down, because the internal inscriptions will cause losses when used continuously and will become unstable at high temperatures.
Sure enough, after nearly an hour of intense bombardment of Blue Water City, Lu Yu, whose head was buzzing, found that the surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
When Lu Yu, who was covered with gray hair, came to the city wall that had been blasted to pieces, he heard a loud conch horn blowing in the Selier camp.
The Sixth Army, which was arrayed in front of the formation in a square formation, retreated to both sides with magic guns, and Serel's infantry began to advance.
coming!
No matter how effective bombing is, in the siege stage, infantry and cavalry will eventually be used.
After all, Selel doesn't have any magic or equipment that can directly wipe the blue water off the map. It's something that even the seventh-level magician Lulutis can't do. Lu Yu doesn't believe that Selel can do it...
Is it true that Lulu can’t do it?
Thinking of what she was doing, Lu Yu decided to retain his attitude for the time being.
After the bombing, the silent northern city wall allowed the pioneer engineers to quickly build a bridge across the moat. After completing all this, they did not retreat, but drew out their sabers, shouted "For Serel", and rushed into the urn city first.
"Resist, you can only lose, not win, then run to the city!"
This was an order Lu Yu had given a long time ago, so the Blue Water Alliance forces climbed up among the ruins and began to fight back.
In the narrow urn city, the werewolves, mushrooms and Serel people fought together.
Most of the people fighting here are steel mushroom men who are proficient in martial arts. In one-on-one situations, they can easily defeat the Serel people, but this is a war, not a fight between enemies.
Covering each other, the well-trained Seler soldiers relied on cooperation to suddenly take back the initiative in the battle in Wengcheng, and the Mushroom Man of Blue Water was really defeated.
Yueying's werewolves had too great a physical advantage, and they were a race that relied on physical fitness and talent to win, so the Selel soldiers' military formation tactics were ineffective.
With superior numbers, superior technology and tactics, the mushroom man was killed almost instantly, but when it came to the werewolf...
Lu Yu saw three Serel soldiers, one holding a spear, one holding a shield, and one armed with a machete, attacking a werewolf.
Standing completely upright, the wolf, nearly 2.5 meters tall, rushed over with the spear in his hand. The moment the opponent raised his spear to stab his heart, he stretched out his hand and broke the spear, then bumped head first into the current shield guard, sending three people flying upside down.
go out.
Before the trio could recover from their dizziness, the werewolf strode forward and crushed their heads with one foot after another.
This is not an isolated case. Basically, every werewolf at the North City Gate has more than a dozen. If the infantry equipped with better weapons from the rear had not poured into the barbican to support the vanguard engineers, this group of red-eyed werewolves would have been killed.
They have all forgotten that their goal is "rout".
The appearance of reinforcements finally gave them the opportunity to run away with the mushroom men who had carried out the tactical deployment first.
Lu Yu, who had followed the Mushroom Man to retreat to a safe area, quickly climbed to a nearby tower and let the mist demon act as his eyes.
"Mist demon, can you hear me?"
"It's a bit noisy, but it's okay. Is this the chat room built by Lulutis using spiritual magic? It always makes me feel amazing no matter how many times it happens."
Lulutis, who was not at the scene, reminded: "Don't talk about unnecessary conversations. Ye Shui and I are still busy and talking in a buzzing manner..."
"Are you okay?" Lu Yu asked concernedly.
Upon hearing Lu Yu's question, Lulutis immediately replied: "Three people are basically the limit, and the distance increases the load... My magic power is overdrawn very quickly. I have to take a sip of crystal quickly."
Among the ruins, the mist demon spread her body completely flat, as if she were transparent. In this dusty urn city, no matter how sharp your eyes are, it would be difficult to spot her in disguise.
It is also because of this that the fog demon became Lu Yu's eyes for observing the battlefield.
General Serier, the vanguard general who attacked the North City, did not know that his army was completely illuminated. The message required double insurance through magic messengers and ordinary messengers. After receiving the information that the vanguard had breached the North City Gate, they quickly ordered the cavalry.
Move out.
"Lots and lots of 'tapping' sounds, very dense."
The mist demon's message made Lu Yu clenched his fists.
After waiting for so long, the prey is finally here!
The Seler soldiers who entered the city first were very tactically literate. They carefully searched the semi-ruined barbican city and the relatively intact part of the main city wall, but did not find the sergeant hiding here.
After confirming that there was no ambush, the cavalry stepped on the road cleared by the engineers and rushed into Lanshui City non-stop. The flat bluestone road seemed to have become a sunshine avenue for them to achieve great achievements.
Because the Wengcheng was narrow, they advanced slowly rather than galloping through this place.
The mist demon stared seriously at the Serel cavalry passing in front of it, and kept reporting to Lu Yu the condition of the collapsed urn city, which seemed completely unclear.
Finally, after about a thousand cavalry entered the cavalry camp, a man wearing black armor and a gray-brown helmet with eagle feathers on it appeared in the cavalry camp. He was guarded by a group of extraordinary cavalry.
Watch and watch, and say something to the people around you from time to time.
"Mist demon, trigger it!"
Without even thinking about it, the mist demon turned its body completely made of mist into a thin thread, got into the rubble, and found the mechanism hidden there.
After being triggered with magic power, the mist demon quickly fled.
The Wengcheng began to tremble, and the road leading to the main wall of the northern city suddenly collapsed. The feeling of the earth shaking swept over every Selerer who was still in the Wengcheng.
"It smells of magic!"
"Didn't the former army already search this place?"
"The magic aura is not above the ruins...it is under our feet!"
"Jazz beware!"
The panicked shouts turned into panic the moment the ground of the Wengcheng cracked, and everyone's voice was suddenly stretched under the weightlessness.
Their eyes looked downward at the moment of falling.
There are no sharp wooden thorns, no desperate metal traps, and it doesn't even look like magic exists.
There is only a pile of densely stacked metal cans here. They are neatly stacked on the ground, like a silver-gray blanket.
However, this blanket is steaming.
Deafening explosions swept through the entire Blue Water City, and the Serel troops surrounding Blue Water looked towards the North City.
There, a brown torrent rose into the sky. On a cold winter day, it seemed like a geothermal fountain erupted, and white mist instantly enveloped the vicinity of the city wall.
"Sir Winston lost contact and our magic messenger disappeared in the direction of the North City!"
"The cavalry and infantry who attacked Beicheng are still fighting in Blue Water City. They need support. What about the cavalry outside Beicheng? What happened after the explosion? Can they enter Beicheng? I need information and let them reply quickly!"
After a while, the herald entered the camp.
"Report, the cavalry who were intercepted outside the North City reported that there was a stench at the North City Gate, and the eruption during the explosion... was suspected to be feces... Sir Winston cannot be found yet."
The herald broke off twice while speaking.
After hearing the herald's words, the nobles who were sent by Selel to liberate the high-level combat forces of the Seventh Army and assisted in the command were as surprised as the soldiers on the front line.
Sunafa, who was eating, stopped immediately, and then...vomited.
Orkus covered his forehead. This was the second time he heard about feces recently.
The story of Izarebi being persuaded to quit by feces and being doused with "golden juice" has been reported to His Majesty Bidelis. It is said that Bidelis did not speak to his ministers all day long, and even his personal servant
Two of the servants were beaten to death...
After all, Selel's elite cavalry was prevented from attacking by feces. This is too ugly. Even if Selel rules Mostana, the race here will pass this thing down from generation to generation...
"Report, the cavalry outside the North City cannot advance. The North City Gate is severely damaged and has collapsed. It is covered with gravel, soil... and feces. If no one cleans it, they don't know what to do."
“…”
After the speechless nobles in the camp re-examined the battlefield, they gritted their teeth and said, "Let the reserve magicians go there to cooperate with the cavalry, and let the slaves assist the engineers in cleaning the north city gate."
Hearing that their assistance was not needed for the time being, Orkus and Gilbatos left the camp.
A sixth-level magician will die if he is attacked by a low-level magician who jumps over the wall. The loss of high-level combat power is not good for the empire, so their role in this war is more like a fuse.
Whether it is him, Luo Ta, Suna Fa and his ilk, they are the ones who guarantee that Blue Water will inevitably be destroyed and that they will not be able to stir up waves even if they struggle to the death.
Although Blue Water often used strange tricks, and even used tricks that disgusted people with feces, in Orcus's view, this was considered to be the end of Guizhou donkey's skills.
He did disgust Selel, but it was only temporary. The death of a knight and a bunch of elite cavalry had no impact on the overall battle situation.
"How long do you think Blue Water can last?" Gilbatos asked.
"I think half a month is enough. Their fighting will is very strong."
"Oh, the evaluation is very high. Both Sunafa and Luo Ta said that the Blue Water can only last seven days. After seven days, the Blue Water will be flattened."
"Hey, I'm talking to you, why don't you respond?" Gilbatos waved his hand in front of Orkus, "What are you thinking about?"
Orkus came out of his daze. He seemed to have an epiphany and hurried to the camp to apply to the person who was dispatching.
"I want to visit Beicheng."
Everyone looked at Orkus with strange eyes.
Beicheng is now full of filth. What should we go to see now?
