Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 173

  Chapter 173 Fierce Battle on the Wall

  The huge counterweight of the catapult fell quickly, driving the sling belt at the other end of the lever to lift high, throwing the kerosene bomb to the Blood King City ahead.

  The kerosene bomb was burning with flames, pulling out a long black smoke in mid-air, flying a distance of nearly 300 meters, and precisely landed on the wall of the Blood King City. With a loud bang, the kerosene bomb exploded among a group of jackals, blasting out a large ball of orange-red flames.

  The gnolls around the explosion point were instantly engulfed by the flames. The fur on their bodies was the best fuel, and they immediately turned into firemen one by one.

  But these blood warriors soaked in raw blood could no longer feel the pain, allowing their bodies to be engulfed by flames, they still stood motionless on the city wall, like burning torches.

After previous battles, the Wilderness Allied Forces finally found a way to kill blood warriors on a large scale. It was this kind of flammable and explosive kerosene bomb. If it explodes in the crowd on the other side, a flame will immediately ignite on the city wall.

   “Quick! Quick!”

  Under the urging of the officer, the soldiers put all their strength into pushing the winch of the catapult. With the sound of “creaking” gear rotation, the counterweight of the catapult was pulled up again.

  A coalition soldier picked up a kerosene bomb that weighed half a person and put it into the throwing belt of the catapult. The officer held a torch, lit the kerosene bomb, and then shouted: “Drop the bomb!”

The counterweights of the ten catapults kept falling and lifting, and threw burning kerosene bombs one after another towards the walls of the Blood King City. Some kerosene bombs hit the outside of the city wall, and some kerosene bombs Falling inside the city wall, only a few can just land on the city wall.

  The kerosene bomb blasted bright orange-red flames on the walls of the Blood King City, like burning dead flowers, beautiful and deadly.

The siege towers moved slowly on the uneven ground. Each of these huge monsters was nearly ten meters high. The ten siege towers were lined up at an interval of 30 meters at the front of the army, just like ten ancient times. Giants bring a sense of oppression that is hard to resist.

  Robin and the iron guards are located in the second siege tower from the left. Dozens of people are crowded together, no one speaks, and everyone has a serious expression on their faces.

  Because it was a siege battle this time, in the crowded siege towers, the heavy square shields were too large to move around, so the iron guards all replaced them with half-length round shields. However, the weapons they use are still commonly used battle axes and war hammers.

On the walls of the Blood King City, the hobgoblin archers kept shooting arrows at the coalition forces. The dense rain of arrows hit the iron skin wrapped around the siege tower, making a series of “jingling” sounds, which made people’s scalps tremble. numb.

Robin didn’t hold his two-handed sword this time, but, like the other iron guards, he held a half-length shield in his left hand and a fine steel battle ax in his right hand. The broad blade was almost bigger than Robin’s face. Take a big turn.

   This heavy battle ax is a two-handed weapon, and only the strongest warriors in the army can use it. However, in the hands of Robin and the iron guards, this battle ax has become a one-handed weapon.

  Robin stood in front of all the iron guards. Once the siege tower leaned against the wall of the Blood King City and the wide and thick iron tower gate was lowered, he would be the first to jump on the wall of the Blood King City.

At this time, looking through the gap between the tower door and the door frame, Robin could see that the walls of the Blood King City were slowly approaching him. There were many gnolls and hobgoblins standing on the walls, holding various With all kinds of weapons, they are ready to fight human beings to the death.

   “Everyone, drink moon water!” Robin shouted loudly, his loud voice could be heard clearly by everyone in the narrow and crowded siege tower.

  After receiving the order, the iron guards immediately took out a small bottle of moon water from their pockets, removed the cork from the bottle mouth, and poured the blue liquid in the glass bottle into their mouths. Then, put the empty glass bottle back into the **** pack.

  Drinking the moon water into the stomach, everyone immediately felt a cold feeling in the stomach, as if eating a big mouthful of snow.

On the left and right of Robin’s siege tower, at an interval of about 30 meters, there is a siege tower that goes hand in hand with Robin and the others. In the siege tower on the left, the leader is Baron Lauren, and the siege tower on the right Inside, the leader is Baron Joseph.

   This time the attack Earl Goode issued a death order, and all the people who led the attack were nobles.

While the siege tower was advancing, there was another group of soldiers covering a huge crash car nearly two people tall, slowly moving towards the gate of the Blood King City, the ram used to hit the gate was thicker than a human A thick iron cone is inlaid at the front end to increase the impact of hitting wood.

  The crash car became the prime target of the hobgoblin archers, and countless arrows were fired at it from the city walls. Around the crash, densely packed soldiers held up their shields, like a group of worker ants guarding the queen, advancing slowly against the rain of arrows. Soldiers kept falling to the ground with arrows, and they were submerged in the dense crowd in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and at this juncture, the axle of one of the siege towers suddenly broke, and the wooden wheel as tall as a person broke from the siege tower, like a wild horse that had lost its restraint, ” Gulu Gulu” rolled aside.

  The huge siege tower immediately lost its balance and fell on the grass at an angle. It could no longer move forward and became a living target.

  Earl Goode, who was in the army formation, saw this scene, and immediately flew into a rage, his eyes widened and he cursed: “Which team is in charge of that siege tower? I’m going to hang their commander!”

   Fortunately, with the hard work and cooperation of the soldiers, the remaining nine siege towers managed to lean against the walls of the Blood King City.

  Robin cut off a rope next to it with a battle axe, and the iron tower door of the siege tower was immediately lowered, and with a loud bang, it slammed heavily on the city wall.

“rush!”

  Robin roared, holding the buckler in his left hand, and rushed out in the first place.

  The jackal crossbowmen on the city wall had been preparing for a long time. Twenty or so jackals held crossbows and fired a volley at the gate of the siege tower.

  As soon as Robin rushed out of the tower gate, a group of crossbow arrows rushed towards him.

He used a round shield to protect his upper body, and the crossbow arrows “clanked” on his shield. Some of the crossbow arrows were blocked by the shield, but a few crossbow arrows still penetrated the shield, and the sharp arrows “poofed” from the shield. Heads popped out of it.

Some of the crossbow arrows hit Robin’s body exposed outside the shield. At this time, the benefits of stacking armor can be seen. Robin wore three layers of heavy armor and was armed to the teeth from top to bottom, wrapping himself like a Tin cans. Even if these crossbow bolts can penetrate the first two layers of armor, it is difficult to penetrate the last layer.

   Robin stood against the crossbow and arrows on the opposite side, and jumped onto the wall of the Blood King City. Before he could gain a firm foothold, swords from all directions came slashing at him.

  Robin immediately activated the cluster of silver lightning in the sea of ​​consciousness, and his body suddenly burst out with dazzling electric current. After constantly exploring the power of lightning during this period, Robin has also developed many ways to use lightning to fight. The silver electric current is like an arrow, shooting from the surface of Robin’s body in all directions.

  Although Robin couldn’t shoot the lightning released from his body too far, the blood clan tactics around him were only one step away from him, and such a short distance was enough.

  Those blood warriors who were shot by the lightning arrows immediately flew out one by one backwards and hit their companions behind them. With Robin as the center, an open space was instantly cleared on the city wall.

  The iron guards behind immediately followed up, raising their weapons one by one, shouting and jumping onto the city wall, and the two sides immediately fought together on the city wall.

   At the same time, the gates of the other siege towers were also opened one after another. Under the leadership of the nobles, the coalition soldiers rushed out of the siege towers one by one.

   Baron Joseph and Baron Lauren each led their soldiers to the city wall and fought fiercely with the blood warriors.

   But there were also attacks that didn’t go well. Another baron was hacked to death by blood warriors as soon as he climbed the city wall. His soldiers were also blocked in the siege tower and couldn’t get out.

  At this time, Robin had no time to care about the battle situation of the other siege towers. He held a shield in his left hand and a huge battle-axe in his right hand. Both the shield and the battle-axe were wrapped with silver currents, making a harsh “cracking” sound.

A jackal raised his knife and slashed at Robin, and it hit his round shield with a bang. The scimitar in the jackal’s hand was instantly bounced, and at the moment the knife and the shield collided, a ray of electricity Following the scimitar, it entered the wolf man’s body.

  Although blood warriors are difficult to kill, they cannot resist the paralyzing effect of lightning. The jackal suddenly felt that half of his body was numb, as if thousands of silver needles were stuck in his muscles, and he couldn’t lift his arms immediately.

  Robin took the opportunity to swing the battle axe, and struck the jackal’s head with an axe, splitting his wolf head in half.

   Then Robin pulled the battle ax out of the wolf man’s head with force, and the red blood and white brains spurted out from the wolf man’s head immediately.

  The body of the wolf man fell weakly, and behind him, another hobgoblin rushed up. He held up a fist-thick mace covered with iron nails in both hands, and with all his strength, roared violently and smashed it down heavily on Robin’s head.

The moment the mace fell on his head, Robin suddenly felt a fishy wind on his face. This hobgoblin was strong and wore a set of heavy armor. I don’t know how many human soldiers died in his hands before. superior.

  Robin repeated his old trick, raising his buckler calmly, blocking the hobgoblin’s heavy smash. At the same time, a violent electric current also took the opportunity to invade the hobgoblin’s body.

  Although the hobgoblin’s physique was tougher than the Gnoll’s just now, he trembled all over immediately, the momentum of attack suddenly stopped, and the fierce facial features on his face suddenly twitched.

  Robin swung his battle axe, and the hobgoblin’s neck was cut off with one axe. His round gray-green head fell off his shoulders, bounced off the edge of the parapet, and then fell straight down the wall.

  Based on this tactic, Robin first blocked with a shield, then paralyzed by lightning, and finally beheaded with a tomahawk. The city wall he walked on was covered with the corpses of the wilderness natives in a short while.

  The walls of Blood King City are not very wide, and can only accommodate up to three fighters standing side by side. Robin and the other two iron guards stood on the city wall, like an indestructible iron wall, firmly blocking the blood warriors on one side.

  Behind Robin, Simon led two iron guards on the other side of the city wall, blocking the enemies on the other side.

  Six people, two walls, slowly advancing towards both sides of the city wall, gradually reducing the living space of the enemies on both sides. Gradually, a safe area without enemies was created between the two groups of people, and the iron guards behind could jump onto the city wall without thinking about it and join the battle on both sides.

  The iron guards roared angrily, and they used steel hardening one after another, turning a part of their body into steel to resist the attack from the enemy.

  The blood warriors are not afraid of death. They don’t know fear, and they don’t fear pain. Like a flood, wave after wave hit the defense line built by the iron guards. These monsters almost traded their lives for their lives, desperate to have their heads smashed, and they also wanted to slash Tie Wei’s body.

  Although the iron guards fought bravely, and one iron guard could kill three or four blood warriors, the wounded gradually began to appear.

Fortunately, they have taken the moon water before, and they are still under the protection of the effect of the moon water. If it is only a minor wound, the wound will heal itself in a short while. If it is a serious wound where the bone can be seen, the bleeding can also be stopped quickly. Turn serious injuries into minor injuries.

The iron guards cooperated with each other tacitly, and took turns to resist the enemy’s charge. Once the iron guards in the front row were injured or exhausted, he would shout “change positions”, and then withdraw at the right time. The iron guards behind He has been prepared all the time and will immediately fill his vacancy.

  Robin frowned, with a cold expression on his face. He pushed forward with the half-shield in his hand, pushing a hobgoblin in front of him back a few steps, and his strong body immediately lost its balance.

   Robin saw the timing, strode forward, swung the battle ax in his hand, and with a fierce gust of wind, he slashed the **** ax blade deeply into the hobgoblin’s head.

  When Robin pulled out his battle axe, a piece of hot blood was brought out from the hobgoblin’s head wound and splashed on his faceplate.

  Robin couldn’t remember how many enemies he had killed, and he didn’t have time to go back and count how many twitching corpses lay on the wall he walked by.

  The iron guards who fought side by side with Robin have changed one after another. They were either injured or lost their strength, and were replaced by their companions. They recovered their physical strength in the rear and waited for the opportunity to join the subsequent battles.

  Robin’s physical strength seemed to be unlimited, he didn’t seem to know how to be tired, he chopped down the enemies in front of him one by one, and let the blood of the enemies stain his armor red.

  The iron guards resting at the back, watching the back of their leader fighting, everyone couldn’t help showing admiration on their faces. In the eyes of these highlanders, Robin is like a **** of war.

  Robin chopped down another jackal, and then a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he had to raise his head to see the whole picture of the opponent.

  It was a tall ogre, it had a huge body of more than three meters high, and it was wearing a set of heavy armor. To Robin’s surprise, this ogre actually has two heads, a two-headed ogre!
