Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel
Chapter 22 Breaking the Army (Part )
"Enemy attack!"
Accompanied by the shrill warning sound of a strong man from the Sanctuary, more than a hundred cannonballs weighing one ton will instantly cover the entire space within 40 meters of the Great Wall.
If Levi were here, he would definitely say "f*ck!"
Although Mr. Levi brought the counterweight trebuchet to the world, he only used ordinary materials to build the counterweight trebuchet. If it was exhausted, it could only throw dozens of pounds of cannonballs seven hundred meters away.
As a result, the wealthy Marquis Ashan directly used a large amount of extraordinary materials and a huge amount of manpower and material resources to build a hundred giant trebuchets. It can directly throw a one-ton cannonball 700 meters away!
More than ninety one-ton stone bullets are extremely fast and extremely powerful. A slight collision will result in death or injury.
Several sixth-level Yaori-level masters were crushed into pulp by stone bullets. One of the Sacred Elephants was accidentally hit by a stone bullet because of his huge size and slow movement.
His entire right arm was missing, most of his right shoulder collapsed, and his right leg bone was broken. His strength was completely gone.
Among the many stone bullets, there are also several fatal "surprises". While making the giant counterweight trebuchet, master alchemist Yelena emptied the inventory of the Marquis Mansion and created four alchemy bombs weighing 800 kilograms.
The alchemy bombs thrown down from the top of the Snow Dragon Fortress are usually only two or three kilograms. An alchemy bomb of this weight is enough to cause extensive damage to those second- and third-level orc warriors.
As for the 800 kilogram big Ivan
Alchemist master Yelena said that this was her first time making one, but the power should be pretty good. In theory, it could knock down legendary warriors as long as it was detonated close to the face. But under normal circumstances, a legendary strongman would not be foolish enough to be approached by such a big guy.
These giant alchemy bombs exploded almost at the same time around the orcs. The shock waves superimposed on each other caused much greater damage than the more than ninety stone bombs.
Within forty meters from the center of the Great Wall, the orcs who were below the Silver Moon level were directly taken away after their internal organs were shattered by the explosion shock wave.
The orcs at the Silver Moon and Yaori levels also suffered heavy casualties. Half of them were shocked to the point of bleeding and fell to the ground, unable to move for a while. The unlucky ones near the center of the explosion were even shattered into dregs.
Sitting under the big banner, Westheit managed to survive with the full protection of a holy lion man and his sixth-order sun-level cultivation. However, he and the uncle from the Sanctuary clan were also seriously injured.
Not only that, inspired by Master Yelena, Marquis Ashan gave full play to his money making ability and used two tons of Herford kerosene to create three giant kerosene bombs.
When Helford kerosene is ignited, the flame temperature can reach a terrifying four thousand degrees. Ordinary steel will be turned into molten iron in an instant. Moreover, this kerosene has excellent adhesion and a very long burning time. It is an ideal choice for traveling at home and killing people. A must-have artifact for setting fire.
Of course, the only drawback of this thing is that it is expensive, very expensive. The market price of Helford's fire oil is as high as 15 gold coins per kilogram, which is equivalent to more than half a year's salary of a third-level soldier.
A total of two thousand kilograms of Helford fire oil were scattered by the explosive shock wave generated by the alchemy bomb. Many orcs who barely managed to survive the rain of stone bullets and explosion shockwaves, but were seriously injured and unable to move, were kicked back into the coffin again.
Helford's fire oil is like a gangrene attached to the bone. Once it sticks to the body, it is difficult to extinguish. Those orcs who were unfortunate enough to be contaminated by the fire oil could only watch helplessly as the flames from hell burned through their skin, flesh, organs, and bone marrow step by step, and finally died in pain.
Before this, the orcs only had a slight advantage in the number of strong men. Their greatest advantage was reflected in the number of middle and low-level warriors that were several times the number of the defenders of the Snow Dragon Fortress.
Under this great banner, 60% of the orc army's strong men gathered. Originally, these strong orcs gathered together to intimidate the strong human race in the Snow Dragon Fortress, so as to take advantage of the absolute advantage of the orc army in the number of middle and low-level warriors.
But the Marquis of Ashan came up with this trick, and 70% of the orc strongmen under the banner were directly destroyed. The remaining 30% were also injured and fled the battlefield directly. The strong human beings in the Snow Dragon Fortress were immediately killed. Untie your hands and feet.
"All trebuchets will be launched in three rounds according to the predetermined plan!"
Before the orc warriors under the Snow Dragon Fortress could recover from the destruction of the great banner, hundreds of stone bullets fell from the sky and smashed into the dense formation of the orcs.
These small and medium-sized trebuchets only use ordinary materials and have limited bearing capacity. Even if they are thrown at close range, the weight of the projectiles is mostly between 100 and 300 kilograms. However, such powerful stone bullets can still cause a lot of damage to mid- to low-level orc warriors who are stationed closely together.
Afterwards, one hundred giant trebuchets were reloaded and launched a total of two hundred tons of gravel shotguns directly towards a distance of three hundred meters.
For a time, the orc phalanx was filled with flesh and blood. Countless orcs were directly killed by shelling, and more orcs were injured and maimed by stone fragments and were wailing in pain. In less than five minutes, outside the Snow Dragon Fortress, the morale of the orc army fell to the bottom.
At this time, the three gates on the front of the fortress slowly opened.
The Marquis of Ashan, who had become famous in both countries more than 20 years ago, was neatly dressed and stood firmly under the middle city gate astride the demon horse, North Wind Fury, which had been with him for thirty years.
"Old man, it's back to us."
The Fury of the North Wind, which had long been channeled, screamed, and it was also eager to fight!
Marquis Ashan put down his visor, pulled out the dragon-slaying sword that drank countless blood, and pointed it at the orc army.
"Ice Blade Knights, charge with me!" With the blessing of the Holy Domain-level fighting spirit, Marquis Ashan's voice suddenly drowned out the shouts of killing on the entire battlefield.
With this roar, many strong men and more than 3,000 elite knights in the Snow Dragon Fortress filed out of the three gates, and the entire battlefield began to tremble.
The strength of these elite knights are all above the third level, wearing extraordinary armor and holding extraordinary lances. The dozen or so military chaplains in the team kept chanting spells, giving the knights a layer of divine power!
Three extremely elite cavalry teams were like three red-hot knives, plunging into the orcs' army formation that was about to collapse.
The scattered orc officers and scattered orc strongmen were completely unable to organize a strong resistance under such a powerful offensive, and could only try to avoid the sharp edge of the human cavalry.
However, the open space in front of Snow Dragon Fortress has long been crowded by the orc army, and there is no room for them to move.
In less than three minutes, three groups of cavalry cut through the orc army like a hot knife cutting through butter, and the already leaderless orc army began to partially collapse.
