The deep horn sounded in the gun city, and the sound was clearly audible in every corner of the city. The faces of the people who heard the horns were quite ugly, which was a signal that the war was about to begin. Then, at the urging of the officer, the soldiers took up their weapons, and the voluntary militia began to send carts of shells and arrows to the defensive line of the city wall.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man carried a box of shells to a cannon on the wall, put down the shells, and looked down the city, his young face was suddenly full of panic. In the distance outside the city, a dark red line was advancing in the direction of Gun City, and the mighty lineup made the young man's heart beat wildly.
"Don't be in a daze, check the barrel." shouted a middle-aged man next to him.
The young man returned to his senses and said while doing inspections: "Will we lose?"
"I don't know." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe, but now, we have no other choice but to fight. I heard that these things do not leave prisoners, and several cities have been affected by them. After the breach, all those who surrendered were killed."
"Why does this happen, and where did these things come from." The young man said scaredly.
At this time, an officer was shouting: "The militiamen are coming with me to dispatch weapons."
The middle-aged man took a handful of the young man next to him, and the two followed the crowd to the quarters under the city, and received shields, swords or spears from the quarters officer and assistants. Some of these weapons were still stained with blood, and they were taken from the hands of the dead. Holding a sword still stained with blood, the young man's hand was already shaking. The middle-aged man took his hand and said, "I will stand behind me."
After the weapon was distributed, the quartermaster drew out his sword and said, "Follow me."
After the militiamen came to the city gate, the quartermaster stood at a higher place and shouted: "This is our city, this is our home. Today, we will defend it to the death! We will guard this gate. Never ask the monsters outside to open it!"
"I will fight with you. If I want to die, I will die before you."
After speaking, he jumped down and stood in front of the militiamen.
Then there was a cannon on the wall, and the war began!
In addition to the gun city defensive artillery on the wall, some were provided by the Panlong Empire army. The artillery from the Eastern Empire was painted vermilion, and the muzzle was cast into a dragon head. These red dragon cannons were powerful and had a longer range than the guns of the Gun City. Therefore, the Red Dragon Cannon of the Orientals fired first.
A red dragon cannon fired continuously, and the shells drew an arc in the air and landed on the distant battlefield. The exploding fireballs fell one after another. But the explosive flame is still not extinguished, and the monsters will directly knock out of the flame. Except for being hit and killed by a shell, the flames of the explosion pose little threat to them. Eboyins’ combat units usually have extremely high flame and high temperature resistance. They were born in the country of high temperature and flame, even the fire boy is not afraid of the flames caused by gunpowder in the material world.
This point has been repeatedly demonstrated, so the gun city has no plans to use cupping from the beginning. We must know that in the previous war with the Eastern Army, throwing cupping cans on a large scale and creating a large area of fire blocked the invaders' steps. But this is obviously of no use to the Burning Legion, and it is better to use a musket or bow and arrow to be more threatening.
Ho Yi arranged a large number of musketeers and archers on the city wall. After the enemy entered the range, the rain of arrows shot by the archers flew down and fell into the burning legion like dense raindrops. . Those flaming horns who ran in the forefront to act as forwards were immediately shot into hedgehogs, but even if their bodies were full of arrows, they still died immediately, and they often rushed out for a while before they fell to the ground. The soldier who was about to be replaced by a human had already died, and even Ho Yi frowned at this terrifying vitality.
A large number of flaming horned monsters as cannon fodder continue to attract the firepower from the gun city, consuming the gun city's shells and arrows. Knowing this, Hoy couldn't order the army to stop attacking, even the flaming horned cannon fodder was much stronger than ordinary soldiers. These beasts are also good at climbing, and once they get on the wall, the consequences would be disastrous.
So the gun city's cannon arrows kept going, and the city's reserves were quickly consumed.
At this time, there was a sound of flapping wings in the sky, and a red cloud flew in the direction of Gun City. It was an air unit composed of thousands of Fire Boys. The bellies of these fire boys were red, and then they spewed fireballs in the direction of the gun city. For a while, the sky seemed to be raining a meteor fire, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Huoyi grimly roared: "Hold your shield, watch out for the fireballs of those things!"
The fireballs ejected by the fire boy are so powerful that they are triumphant in a large number. Thousands of fireballs fell on the walls of Gun City like a torrential rain, causing a series of explosions and flames. However, after experiencing several battles, he had long experience in the offensive gun city of Fire Boy. Soldiers fighting on the city wall have a light shield with a layer of fire barrier on the shield. After the fireball falls on it and explodes, the flame will quickly go out.
However, many places in the city were on fire. Soldiers already shook lime and quickly came to fire.
"Shoot me those guys above!" Hoy called.
Therefore, half of the archers turned their arrows and shot them towards the fire boy above. The red cloud immediately dropped down the fire boy's body, and the red cloud became thinner.
Ho Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Those little monsters in the air couldn't shoot fireballs continuously. Every time there was a gap for a certain period of time. He also observed this several times before discovering this, so just catch the gap attack.
He only breathed a sigh of relief on his side, and he heard someone shouting on the other side: "Be careful, the other cavalry is coming!"
Huoyi looked down the city, and sure enough, an iron cavalry was coming towards the city wall. Knowing how powerful this cavalry was, Huoyi immediately ordered: "Prepare the trebuchet, give me a smash!"
Some strong men with shirtless upper bodies work in pairs, and put big chunks of rocks on the trebuchet throwers. After a while, there was a terrifying whistling sound from the city wall, and huge boulders flew out, drew a parabola and smashed into the flame knight's long array.
The flame knight is far superior to the flame knight in terms of mobility and combat power, but it is still as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of a huge boulder thrown from a high altitude. This overbearing physical attack is exactly the nemesis of the flame knight. , When a big rock hits it, it will surely splash a huge flower of blood.
It's just that although the attack of the trebuchet is domineering, there are too many flame knights, and the trebuchet can't keep up with the speed of the flame knight. At this time, drums sounded under the city, and a team of cavalry in red armor and red clothes ran out from each side of the city wall. The cavalryman had a two-meter long spear. The gun was fastened to the back of the horse. The cavalryman held it in one hand. The reins, holding the spear in one hand, launched a charge under the drums.
The cavalry of the Eastern Army also joined the battle!
