Chapter 458 Dragon Fire

In a siege, the ideal situation for the defenders is to avoid being approached by the enemy as much as possible, but this ideal situation is almost impossible to achieve.

No matter how perfect the defensive works on the city wall are, the enemy has ten times the number of defenders. Looking down from the top of the city wall, it is like seeing a nest of cockroaches. Whether it is arrows or catapults, the killing efficiency of throwing them out is not high.

Of course, if two rows of Maxims are made, or even further, Gatling Bodhisattva sits on the city wall, that is another matter.

The army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom steadily moved forward under the rain of arrows, and when approaching the city wall, they would come into contact with rows of chevaux de frise.

These chevaux de frise were watered, and now it was cold and freezing, so they were soon frozen in place, and it was difficult to move or destroy them.

Chevaux de frise is mainly used to deal with cavalry, and the arrangement under the city wall plays a diversion role to disrupt the enemy's formation.

In order to bypass these chevaux de frise, the formation of the soldiers of the Tandron Demon Kingdom army was obviously skewed, and the solid rattan armor shield wall also had weaknesses.

The defenders on the city wall seized the opportunity and took away a group of people with one wave of output.

But the effect was limited to this. More soldiers rushed through the barricades.

Then they saw that there was a moat under the city wall of Kaimen City.

Or to be more precise, due to the dry season in winter, it is now just a moat.

The ditch is already full of sharpened wooden stakes. It doesn't seem to have much lethality now, but it will soon.

The soldiers who rushed to the ditch under the rain of arrows will soon face the 30-meter-high enchanted wall. Since they can only stand under the ditch, the height may be even more exaggerated.

It is not easy to climb such a high wall. Even if you bring a siege ladder, the length may not reach the edge of the wall.

And the shape of the wall is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle. The arc is not large by visual estimation. If you actually climb up, you will slide down quickly.

In addition, the defenders on the wall threw down rolling stones and wooden beams, and the half-climbed Tandelon Demon Kingdom army was immediately hit by intensive attacks. The unlucky ones fell on the wooden stakes in the ditch and were pierced.

Such a tall wall is obviously not something that can be attacked simply by piles of people. The main force of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom army still aimed at the city gate.

The city gate is a concave structure. As soon as a group of soldiers approached with battering rams, countless shooting holes were opened on the walls on both sides. A row of crossbows let them know what the killing zone is.

So far, the defense has been very smooth, but both the enemy and Viola knew that this was just a tentative attack, just an appetizer.

Due to the huge size, a large number of siege equipment that was a step slower was not really pushed up at this time.

The battering rams and cloud chariots were slowly approaching. The catapults made a shrill sound of breaking wind and threw huge stones at the city gate, accompanied by a row of dense cannon fire. Hundreds of field cannons pulled by horses also began to pour ammunition towards the city walls.

The enchanted city wall was very strong. Even if it was bombed with modern self-propelled artillery on Earth, it might not be able to be blasted open. These primitive artillery would not even leave a mark.

But the wall was fine, which did not mean that the people were fine.

When the heavy shells whizzed past your ears, your colleague who was just talking to you was lying on the ground with only his lower body left in a blink of an eye. The psychological impact was more terrible than the lethality of artillery.

And the approaching battering rams and cloud chariots were also a huge threat.

Once the battering ram entered the city gate, it was equivalent to a pile driver with its own armor outputting to the city gate. The cloud chariot was full of archers. It was shorter than the city wall, but the arrows shot would suppress the defenders on the city wall.

Once the cloud car is close to the city wall, the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom can use the combination of cloud ladders and cloud cars to climb the city wall.

On Viola's side, the crossbows, crossbows and a few artillery pieces all aimed at the approaching siege equipment, but the effect was not very good.

In addition to the accuracy of these weapons, the number of siege equipment prepared by the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom is also very large. After finally dismantling a cloud car, they turned around and saw that they still had more than ten.

The morale of the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom was high, and everyone was fearless. Less than an hour after the war started, the situation on the battlefield tilted in their favor.

However, Kaimen City is not only capable of this. Viola also has a trump card that has not been revealed. Although it is a little early now, she can only try.

The soldiers on the city wall received the order and pulled open the cloth behind them, revealing a seven or eight-meter-long metal track.

Then they set the track on the city wall and aimed at the approaching siege machinery with a special iron crosshair.

Another group of soldiers brought up a bunch of things that looked like kites from under the city wall, but each one was four or five meters long.

The army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom under the city wall immediately heard a sharp explosion, accompanied by sparks, and something that looked like a bird, with a wooden frame and a layer of paper pasted on it, flew out of the city wall dragging sparks.

No one had ever seen such a thing before, and it could even be said that the locals were shocked.

This thing can actually fly?

In their opinion, birds can fly because they can flap their wings, and dragons can fly because they have magic power, and this kind of thing with a wooden frame and paper pasted on it is obviously not related to flying.

After all, how can it flap its wings?

Although it may be related to the quality, some of these big kites flew crookedly, but compared with the trebuchet, the accuracy can be said to be wherever it is pointed, and without exception, they all went to siege equipment.

Especially when they hit the target, these big kites exploded into a large ball of flames. After a few repetitions, they ignited the wooden siege equipment. For a while, the outside of the city wall was full of the sharp sound of the intense burning of gunpowder, as well as large and small fireballs.

–--——----

Under the city wall, in the temporary command post, Aoerdai covered one eye. She was using the secret eye connected to the optic nerve to observe the battle situation.

"Viola used my flying dragon fire, and it seems to be effective."

Due to the inherent concept of "you must have magic to fly" in the local area, this kind of simple glider bomb is unprecedented for them.

To put it bluntly, there is actually no technical content. Use a light wood frame, paste a few layers of paper to make it into the shape of a two-legged flying dragon, and then stuff some alchemical bombs or fuel into the belly. The rest is to use gunpowder gas to launch it through the track. The principle is the same as that of the sky monkey.

It's hard to say what Aoerdai watched when she went to Li Chengxi's house to watch TV, but this thing is indeed useful as a precision strike weapon.

After all, it's easy for Aoerdai to destroy a siege vehicle with her ability, but she has to do it all, and Kaimen City is now under attack on three walls, and she can't finish it even if she dies of exhaustion.

"I know your invention is very useful, so hurry up and monitor the situation of the city wall."

The commander-in-chief of the entire defense battle is not Viola, but Wendy, but Wendy is an ordinary person with no power. It's easy to be hit by stray bullets when she goes up to the tower to watch the battle. It's too dangerous.

So Wendy stayed in the safe command post and observed the battle outside through Aoerdai's magic screen.

For now, the most fierce offensive is the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom, the Enwei Demon Kingdom is relatively average, and the most lazy is the Laxuriya Demon Kingdom, and they have just started to act.

Since the situation is not clear now, Wendy dare not transfer soldiers to the wall attacked by the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom, and can only continue to pay close attention.

At this time, Wendy saw several huge monsters appearing on the side of the Enwei Demon Kingdom Army. At first, she thought they were siege weapons, but when she got closer, she was shocked.

——Boom!

Along with a loud noise from the roof, broken stones and rubble fell like raindrops, and the temporary command post under the city wall, which should have been safe, was directly hit...
