Chapter 276 Throwing alchemy bombs!

"Sarod, you will be the commander-in-chief of the siege this time."

"Knights of the Royal Court (Noble Knights), Elf Griffin Knights, two thousand Elf Archers, five thousand Elf Warriors, fifty Ancient Tree Men, two thousand Legion Guards, one thousand Crossbowmen, and the Third Imperial Infantry Legion It’s all under your command.”

"Baron Railton and Viscount Gallena, please follow Sarold."

In the ivory-white crystal hall, Yilor sat high on the throne, stroking the jade on the hilt of his sword while conveying orders.

"Your Majesty, I would like to thank His Majesty the King for your trust."

Sarold was wearing golden armor, with a dark blue cloak floating behind him, and he leaned towards the throne.

"Go, don't let me down." Yilor said without raising his head.

"Your Majesty, please retire!"

Sarold, who was as tall as a little giant, walked out with the other two barons.

The sound of metal friction makes one's teeth ache.

"Gather the troops and set off to the northeast!"

As Sarode shouted loudly.

The two metal gates in the northeast slowly opened, and army formations began to pour out from the city gates.

As the troops in the city moved outward, there was a sound of shaking of the ground and mountains in vain.

I saw two magic spiers beginning to rise slowly, and a magic vortex began to condense at the bottom of the tower. The magic vortex began to move, carrying the spiers.

In the end, the two minarets moved to a position one hundred meters apart.

The gray-white defensive light curtain that originally covered 10,000 meters began to gradually shrink, and eventually it only covered an area of ​​about 300 meters in radius.

Consumption was instantly reduced by 90%!

But the faces of the more than twenty shadow guards who were originally at the edge of the light curtain showed a hint of unexpected surprise.

They received orders to go to the enemy camp to assassinate the enemy leader.

But when they arrived, they found a defensive light curtain in front of them, preventing them from entering.

So, everyone hid here and waited for the opportunity.

The light curtain suddenly disappeared, giving them hope again.

"When the opportunity comes, let's lurk in first."

The leader of the shadow guards gave an order, and more than twenty shadow guards entered the invisible state and approached the metal wall in front.

Seeing a large number of troops pouring out, the leader of the shadow guard shouted in a low voice with a heavy face: "The communication bug will deliver the news that the enemy is preparing to attack the city to Dongmu County and Kyoto."

"Yes!"

A shadow guard immediately took out a communication bug and sent a message using his consciousness.

Everyone looked at the bronze city wall in front of them, their faces full of shock.

"Hey, be a good boy, how did the enemy do it?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

In less than two days, the other party actually built a bronze city wall!

Why does it take more than half a year to build a city wall that is seven or eight meters high?

The shadow guard leader's face darkened and he ordered: "Inform the situation of this city wall to Kyoto as well."

After he finished speaking, he began to crawl into the city with his shadow guards.

I saw a handful of claws like poisonous tongues being thrown out and firmly grasped on the city wall.

The moment the claw hook was thrown out, the color immediately changed to the same color as the bronze city wall.

It's hard to spot the soldiers around here without looking carefully.

Twenty or so invisible shadow guards grabbed the rope under the claw hook and began to tiptoe up the city wall.

The invisible crowd did not alert the surrounding soldiers.

After a while.

All twenty shadow guards successfully sneaked into the city.

Looking at the densely packed camps around them, everyone was stunned.

"Where should we find their leader?" a shadow guard asked in confusion.

The leader of the shadow guard thought for a moment and pointed to the two ivory-white spiers in front of him that were like pillars of heaven and shouted in a deep voice: "It's the most difficult place there. Let's go and take a look first."

After the words fell, everyone began to rush towards the direction of the minaret.

After a long time.

When many shadow guards arrived at a distance of more than 200 meters in front of the spire, they found that the previous defensive light curtain appeared again in front of them.

The leader of the Shadow Guard sighed.

It seems that the leader of the other party is very cautious, fearing that the assassination will fail.

"Since we can't assassinate the leader of the enemy army, then we will assassinate the officers of their army!"

The leader of the shadow guard looked stern, and then issued an order to start action.

As a result, the camps in the city suddenly became agitated, and screams rang out from everywhere.

Bloodstains on the beach appeared in a corner.

Someone died from poisoning.

Some people also had their throats cut with swords and died.

Some people had their necks pierced by crossbow arrows.

Another person was found with a small sword without a hilt stuck in his chest, and blood was flowing all over the ground.

The number of people who died was as many as forty or fifty.

All are officers, big or small.

Among them, three barons and two viscounts were even buried.

But most of the people who died were human beings.

It's not like the shadow guards didn't try to assassinate the elves.

But they soon discovered that those elves with long pointed ears, fair skin, beautiful faces and handsome faces had very strong senses.

Danger is often detected in advance, and five shadow guards were even discovered during the assassination process, and died after being shot in the vital part with one arrow.

Therefore, the leader of the shadow guard immediately shifted his target to the human officer. The assassination lasted for half an hour, and the other party had begun to be heavily guarded.

As a result, the remaining nineteen shadow guards immediately chose to retreat.

The news reached Yilor's ears.

Inside the main hall on the first floor of the minaret.

Yilor's expression turned gloomy as he listened to the soldier's report.

"Carrying out an assassination?"

"Okay...very good!"

His face was as cold as frost.

"The vacant officer will be replaced by the subordinate with the highest merit, and the Knights of the Silver Helmet will be dispatched to find these assassins for me!"

He said solemnly.

"My lord, let's do it now!"

The herald on the side did not dare to bring more people into the hall. He was afraid that the angry king would strike him with a sword.

"Wait a minute." Yilor said in a deep voice again: "Send an order to Sarold. After the city is captured, the young men and women will be demoted to slaves and the rest will be killed."

The cold voice made the herald tremble. He responded and hurried out of the hall.

Yilor looked at the place where the herald disappeared, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking.

It was possible to assassinate more than fifty officers in such a huge army, but only five assassins were found by the elves.

"The enemy this time... is not simple."

He slowly stood up from the throne, looked outside the hall, and sighed quietly.

………    On the other side, the leader of the shadow guards led the shadow guards to evacuate the enemy camp and headed towards Dongmu County.

"Sir, aren't we going back to Kyoto?"

The shadow guard shook his head slightly and said: "Although the enemies in the camp were frightened, the troops sent out were not. Try it. When the enemy attacks the city, assassinate their general, and the army will be defeated without attacking!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen shadow guards followed him and started running towards Dong Mu County.

...

...

Dongmu County.

South wall.

Yu Qian wore a set of armor and a ring-headed sword at his waist.

Zhou Tai stood aside holding a steel spear.

Behind the two men were thousands of soldiers.

Some are armed with swords, some are armed with spears, and some are armed with long bows.

"The number of enemy troops is several times that of our army. It is difficult to defend."

Zhou Tai looked at the enemy troops two miles away from the city. They were surrounded by black clouds, like black floods about to flood Dongmu County.

Yu Qian also looked at the army outside the city with a solemn expression.

The seven or eight meter tall tree man even refreshed his understanding.

"There is a message from the king that the tree people are afraid of thunder and lightning. Let the Thunder Copper Spear Army focus their fire attack to defeat the enemy." Zhou Tai reminded aloud.

Yu Qian nodded slightly: "Your Majesty makes me the governor of Dongmu County. Then I will command this battle. General Zhou Tai, you will lead two thousand dragon cavalry battalions out of the city to disrupt the enemy's siege.

When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy retreats, we advance. There are still 150,000 Thunderbolt Arrows in the city. You take 50,000 out of the city, and the 2,000 cavalry are broken into pieces. You can interfere with the enemy's attack while protecting yourself. "

After Zhou Tai heard this, he thought for a moment and then responded loudly: "The last general will take orders!"

After finishing his words, Zhou Tai turned around and descended from the city wall, leading two thousand cavalrymen from the dragon cavalry battalion to ride out of the city gate.

Watching Zhou Tai leave, Yu Qian quickly adjusted the strength of the city's defenders.

The city wall due south must be the opponent's main attack side.

The remaining three walls were feints or auxiliary attacks.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the enemy will put all their troops on the south wall, intending to break the city with one blow.

There are not many troops in the city, so Yu Qian plans to put the five thousand new soldiers in armor to participate in the defense of the city.

The current defensive strength of Dongmu County City includes, in addition to the two thousand dragon cavalry battalion cavalry that have left the city, there are also two thousand archers, four thousand thunder copper spear troops, and five thousand new thunder copper sword and shield troops.

"Mobilize a thousand spear troops and three thousand new sword and shield troops to defend the remaining three city walls.

The rest of the army and I stayed in Nancheng, and all the trebuchet and catapult teams stayed in Nancheng. We moved all the military resources and defensive materials in the warehouse over! "

The atmosphere of the army approaching the border made everyone start to get nervous.

The two thousand cavalry outside the city gradually divided into ten cavalry squads, preparing to follow Yu Qian's strategies and tactics to block the enemy.

The silence before the hustle and bustle stays in Dongmu County.

The enemy troops outside the city soon stayed one mile outside the city.

Sarode, who was riding on a heavily armored horse, couldn't help but raise his head and look at the city ahead.

This is a rammed earth city wall seven or eight meters high.

After a moment, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm.

Is this kind of city wall worthy of dispatching so many troops?

"Within three hours, the cavalry of the Royal Court Knights will enter the city!"

Sarold raised his sword high and shouted in a deep voice: "Siege the city!"

Woooooo————

A loud horn sound suddenly sounded and spread in all directions.

The huge army moved instantly.

Mainly led by the Third Infantry Legion of the Empire, every hundred people form a small square formation. The square formation is a hollow square, with a huge ancient tree man standing in the middle.

A total of thirty phalanxes rushed towards the city wall in front.

The remaining twenty ancient treemen began to branch out from a dozen branches, grabbed stone bullets weighing more than twenty kilograms, and threw them at the city wall.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of heavy stone bullets fell from the air, like meteorites flying at high speed, crashing into the city wall of Dongmu County.

boom!

boom!

boom!

The city wall was hit by countless stone bullets, causing dust to fly and roar.

Even the edges were hit continuously, and cracks appeared!

"The archers exchange thunder bronze arrows and counterattack!"

shhhhh--

Two thousand battle-hardened elite archers quickly drew a thunder-copper arrow mixed with purple lightning from their backs.

They neatly placed the arrows on the bowstrings.

Along with the sharp sound of the bow strings, there was a sharp sound.

A rain of two thousand thunder copper arrows quickly fell downwards.

The moment the arrows flew into the air, they turned into sharp and domineering thunder and lightning, quickly striking at the enemies below the city!

Due to the power of thunder and lightning, the thunder copper arrows can even shoot farther to a certain extent!

Suddenly, arrows mixed with thunder and lightning fell into the enemy's formation, and fierce lightning suddenly appeared.

Half of the dozens of phalanxes at the front were defeated in an instant.

Under the bombardment of dense lightning arrows, more than half of the thirty tree men fell down in an instant.

Although only a few died, all the fallen tree men were definitely seriously injured even if they were not dead!

In a short period of time, it will definitely be impossible to enter the battlefield again.

"Fire arrows!"

"Fire arrows!"

"Fire arrows!"

Seeing the continuous screams below, the power of this thunder and arrow rain once again refreshed Yu Qian's understanding.

This power is simply more powerful than the Ming Dynasty's fire gun!

With such powerful weapons, there is some hope of solving the crisis in the city!

He gave the order to shoot arrows one after another.

Thunder arrows were shot out one after another.

For a moment, the attacking enemy below the city was like a desert traveler marching against a tornado.

If you are not careful, you will be blown into ash.

At this time, Sarode, who was standing at the back outside the city, looked stunned.

"Thunder elements? Magicians? How could the other party have so many magicians? This is absolutely impossible!"

He looked shocked, obviously frightened by the bursts of thunder, lightning and arrows.

Railton on the side speculated aloud: "Perhaps it is a kind of alchemical armament."

Sarode shook his head and said: "No matter what the possibility is, it means that it is greatly difficult for us to win this city."

After a moment, Tharod said in a deep voice: "Baron Railton! You lead three thousand infantry, two thousand elf warriors, one thousand elf archers and one thousand legion guards to go around and attack the east wall!"

"Viscount Garena, you lead three thousand infantry, one thousand crossbowmen, one thousand legion guards, and one thousand elf warriors to go around and attack the west wall!"

"Besieged on three sides and disperse their long-range troops, we will have the opportunity to get close to the city wall!

The enemy's army is not as large as ours. The advantage of gathering a wall to attack lies with them. As long as we spread out our troops and make it difficult for them to look at the head and tail, the advantage lies with us! "

Sarode quickly formulated a new siege plan.

As the grand master of the Royal Court Knights, whom the king personally conferred, he not only has rich experience in commanding the army, but also has huge military achievements that are enough to be promoted to an earl.

He is the sharpest sword in the king's hand, and he is the tall devil in the eyes of his enemies!

He raised the commander's sword in his hand and shouted loudly:

"Throw alchemical bombs at the enemy's gate!"
