Chapter 1657: Bing Divided Into 2 Routes (3)

The low horn sounded in Gun City, and the sound could be clearly heard in every corner of the city. The faces of the people who heard the sound of the horn were quite ugly, it was a signal that the war was about to start. Then, at the urging of the officers, the soldiers took up arms, and the militiamen who volunteered to fight began to send carts of shells and arrows to the line of defense of the city wall.

A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old carried a box of shells to a cannon on the city wall, put down the shells, and looked down the city, the young face was filled with panic. In the distance outside the city, a dark red line was advancing in the direction of Gun City. The mighty lineup made the young man's heart beat wildly.

"Don't be in a daze, check the barrel quickly." A middle-aged man next to him called.

The young man came back to his senses, and said while doing the inspection work: "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 take prisoners. After several cities were captured by them, Those who surrendered were all killed."

"Why is this so, where did these things come from?" said the young man in fear.

At this time, an officer shouted: "All the militiamen have come with me, and the weapons have been distributed."

The middle-aged man gave a hand to the young man next to him, and the two of them followed the crowd to the quarters office below the city, where they received shields, swords or spears from the quartermaster and his 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 held his hand and said, "Stay behind me later."

After distributing the weapons, the quartermaster drew out his sword and said, "Follow me."

After the militiamen came to the city gate, the quartermaster stood on a higher place and shouted: "This is our city, this is our home. Today, we will defend it to the death! We must guard this gate, and we must not call Those monsters out there open it!"

"I will fight with you, and if I have 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 city wall, and the war began!

In addition to the gun city's defensive artillery, some of the defensive artillery on the city wall were provided by the Panlong Empire's army. The cannons from the Eastern Empire were painted vermilion, and the muzzles were cast into dragon heads. These red dragon cannons were quite powerful and had a longer range than the cannons in Gun City.

Therefore, it was also the Red Dragon Cannon of the Orientals who fired first.

The red dragon cannons fired continuously, and the shells drew arcs in the air and landed on the distant battlefield, and the exploding fireballs rose and fell one after another. But the flames of the explosion are still not extinguished, and those monsters will be directly knocked out of the flames. Apart from being killed by a shell hit, the flames of the explosion did not pose much threat to them. Eboins' combat units usually have extremely high resistance to flames and high temperatures. Born in the kingdom of high temperature and flames, even fire boys are not afraid of the flames caused by gunpowder in the material world.

This point has been repeatedly demonstrated, so Gun City had no intention of using cupping cans from the beginning. You must know that in the previous war with the Eastern Army, throwing fire cans on a large scale created a large-scale sea of ​​​​fire and stopped the invaders. But this is obviously useless on the Burning Legion, it is more threatening than using muskets or bows.

Huo Yi arranged a large number of musketeers and archers on the city wall. After the enemy army entered the range, the arrows shot by the archers flew down like dense raindrops into the Burning Legion. Those fire horned demons who ran in the front and acted as the vanguard were immediately shot into hedgehogs, but even though their bodies were full of arrows, they still did not die immediately, and often rushed a certain distance before falling to the ground. The soldiers who were going to be replaced by humans had already died. Even Huo Yi frowned at this terrifying vitality.

A large number of fire horned demons are used as cannon fodder to constantly attract the firepower from the gun city, consuming the gun city's shells and arrows. But knowing this, Huo Yi could not order the army to stop the attack,

Even the cannon fodder Fire Horned Demon is much stronger than ordinary soldiers. These beasts are also good at climbing, and once they are allowed to climb on the top of the wall, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, the cannons and arrows in the gun city are non-stop, and the reserves in the city are rapidly consumed.

At this time, there was the sound of fluttering wings in the sky, and a red cloud flew towards the direction of Gun City. It was an air unit composed of thousands of fire boys. These fire boys had red stomachs, and then shot out fireballs in the direction of Gun City. For a moment, the sky seemed to be raining meteors and fire, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

However, Huo Yi roared with a livid face: "Hold up your shield, be careful of those fireballs!"

The power of the fireballs sprayed by the fire boy was mediocre, but they were superior in number. Thousands of fireballs fell on the walls of Gun City like a torrential rain, causing a series of explosions and flames. However, after going through a few battles, he already has experience with Huotong's offensive gun city. The soldiers fighting on the city wall each had a light shield, which was coated with a layer of fire barrier. After the fireball fell on it and exploded, the flame would be extinguished quickly.

However, many places in the city were on fire, and soldiers had already shaken lime and quickly set the fire on fire.

"Shoot those guys up there!" Hoy yelled.

So half of the archers turned their arrows and threw them towards the fire boy above. Immediately, the red cloud kept dropping the body of the fire boy, and the red cloud became thinner a lot.

Huo Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Those little monsters in the air couldn't continuously spray fireballs, and there would be a gap for a certain period of time each time. He only discovered this after observing it several times, so he just had to catch the gap and attack.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard someone yelling at the other end: "Be careful, the opponent's cavalry is coming!"

Huo Yi looked down the city, and sure enough, an iron cavalry was coming towards the city wall. Huo Yi knew the strength of this cavalry, and immediately ordered: "Get ready for the trebuchet, and hit me hard!"

Teams of shirtless, muscular men drop large chunks of stone onto the catapult catapults. A moment later, there was a terrifying whistling sound from the city wall, and huge boulders flew out, drawing parabolas and smashing into the long formation of flame knights.

The Flame Knight is far superior to the Fire Horned Demon in terms of maneuverability and combat power, but it is still as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of boulders thrown from high altitudes. This kind of overbearing physical attack is the nemesis of the Flame Knight, a big rock If it is smashed down, there will be a huge splash of blood.

It's just that although the attack of the trebuchet is overbearing, 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 group of cavalry in red armor and red clothes rushed out from both sides of the city wall. The cavalry each held a two-meter-long spear. Reins, holding a spear in one hand, launched a charge to the sound of drums.

The cavalry of the Eastern Army also participated in the battle!
