Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 245 The Defense of Olengrad II
After several dragon princes personally stepped into the wall of Kislev's side to support them and sternly reprimanded those who tried to put down their weapons and escape, they barely resisted the enemy's attack.

From time to time, bodies were thrown over the walls just to make the fight easier.

After yesterday's siege left a large number of corpses, the moat of Erengrad was almost filled. Under the magic of the chaos warlock, the corpses piled up in the moat swelled into an indescribable mass of flesh.

The fleshy limbs of these corpses are firmly fixed in the city wall and soil, blocking the flowing water source, and connecting the two ends that were originally suspended. The siege towers are only able to touch the city wall by erecting on these fleshy pieces.

Agthel, who was standing in a stone house, always had a serious expression on his face. Nine days after Imrik left, the Chaos army had already arrived at the city of Erengrad. The on-the-spot inspection of the defense facilities made him understand one thing. It is simply a fantasy to defend.

Mrs. Kisly's poor architectural engineering was exposed in Ehrengrad. Many towers and battlements are difficult to cover archers shooting. The outer fortress is in disrepair and lacks effective defense methods. .

This shocked the former giant dragon gate general directly, and there is such a wild way of construction?

In addition, Ehrengrad was originally a port city, and it was also the only large gathering place west of Kislev. It dared not tear down the city walls for expansion despite the surge in population over the past century, and could only take some "non-essential" and Working in a place with a large area led to the occupation of many favorable positions that can cooperate with artillery shooting. Even though Agsel had demolished some of them in the past few days, it still could not be used effectively.

A roaring cannon hit the side of the command post, and its momentum interrupted Prince Long's train of thought.

The objects affected by the misfortune emit black smoke in the high temperature of the lava cannon, and the red and yellow fluid splashed around speaks of horror silently.

The command room began to vibrate violently, and a large amount of gray layer spilled from the gap, covering the long golden hair of the Dragon Prince.

This let Agsel know that the Dragon Claw Ballista has been difficult to suppress the artillery of the Chaos Dwarves, and this will have a chain reaction. The siege towers and battering rams are attacking Erengrad again, and the artillery of our own side can only You can choose to suppress the enemy's artillery, or choose to shoot the siege equipment.

Gritting his teeth, he spoke the order.

"Open the city gate! Mi Shan and Iron Wolf led the Lothern Seaguard to intercept it 30 meters behind the city gate, and Creon led the Silver Helmed Knight to attack at any time."

The high-ranking dragon prince has already seen that the key to this offensive and defensive battle lies in heavy long-range firepower. If the enemy's artillery is not suppressed, there will be a gap in the city wall in two days, but our own artillery can only choose to shoot first. City equipment, otherwise the city will be destroyed now.

It is necessary to share some of the pressure for them and focus on the enemy's artillery. After the war is over, no matter what, the prince must increase the caliber of the Dragon Claw Ballista. It is best that one cannon can send a hundred enemies into the sky.

The herald immediately prepared to pass on the order, but the patriarch who was in charge of coordinating with him stopped the order.

"We can't do this. If we open the city gate, there is no way to resist the enemy's attack."

It was not the high-ranking Dragon Prince's explanation that greeted the Patriarch, but a head-on kick. This angry blow made him hit the stone wall quickly, making a dull echo.

"Your task is to obey the command, not to interfere more here. If it wasn't for the prince's order, I would never stay here and endure you fools who don't even know how to obey orders."

After Agsel became ruthless, the patriarch didn't dare to say more. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the elf in front of him was much more reliable than Boyer in the city. It was unimaginable that he could open the city gate to defend.

The herald found Mi Shan and Iron Wolf who were resting. They also just came back from the port. They were tired from fighting at sea for several days. Not everyone can be revived with full blood after a fight like Damian.

"Your Excellency Mishan, Your Excellency Iron Wolf, Prince Agathel asked the two to go to the city gate to intercept the Chaos army."

Iron Wolf, who was pouring vodka, bared his teeth, and felt as if he had returned to the sanctuary again. He was really tired after fighting in the demon fortress for a month.

But he didn't refuse. He also knew that this war was of great importance. Even Iron Wolf, a cynical mage, didn't want to see 10 people in the city being sacrificed to those disgusting dark gods.

Throwing down the empty bottle in his hand, he turned to his comrades and said, "Let's go, Mishan, after this battle, I have to ask that guy Imric to prepare me a month's worth of wine."

Mi Shan nodded, drank the pure liquid in the bottle in one gulp, stood up and shook a bit, dispersed the dust, took the Storm Spire and walked towards the city gate.

The bombardment of the city gradually decreased, and the power of the chaos dwarven artillery was unimaginable. Often, a single bombardment could instantly vaporize the entire team, turning them into a mass of coke howling in the flames, which had a great impact on the morale of the defenders. Fighting, seeing your comrades in arms turned into a mass of blood and flesh with your own eyes is undoubtedly frightening.

The caledor gunners have already focused on the enemy's long-range positions. These ballistas from Vaal's anvil are not inferior to gunpowder cannons in range and better in accuracy.

Regardless of the shells flying overhead or hitting the protective wall, the gunners on the tower operated the sights calmly, trying to get rid of the constant pain and mourning from the side. A mistake might kill them in the here.

After adjusting the angle, the gunner immediately pulled the trigger, and had no energy left to observe whether it was shot. Immediately, the loader picked up the crossbow arrow from the side, pulled the winch to prepare for winding, and then prepared to fire again.

After the siege crossbow left the gun mount, the silver-white arrows flew over the heads of the Chaos army with a cold light, and the targets were obviously the Chaos dwarves who could only see black dots.

Maybe it was Val's blessing, or maybe it was Ersun's guidance. In short, these siege arrows achieved the desired effect. The arrows directly hit the artillery positions, and a few hit the artillery with exceptional accuracy. The crossbow arrows and the lava cannon had a chain reaction, and bursts of loud noise came from it.

After being suppressed by fire from the city walls, the Chaos Dwarven artillery began to shift positions. The selfish and stubborn character was more obvious in these corrupted dwarves. They only joined the battle under the premise that the Everchosen promised to provide a large number of slaves In the war, if the slaves obtained cannot make up for the loss of equipment and personnel, why is there a stalemate here.

They began to move slowly, planning to change to another location for fire support.

But in the process of this kind of long-range firepower interaction, the battering ram has already leaned up, and the Kurgans pushed this monster made of steel hard on both sides, and the spiky rollers crushed the lying monster mercilessly. The corpses on the ground seemed to make this monster made of steel and demons even more excited, and a scarlet gleam appeared on the car body.

The flaming crossbow bolts that could have quickly destroyed the battering ram didn't seem to pay attention to this. The siege team was crowded under the steel guard, trying to avoid the bad luck of dying before entering the city gate.

And this made the leader of the Kurgans immediately encourage the soldiers around him loudly, and quickly break through the enemy's city gate. The great chief has issued a death order, and this weak city will be broken within seven days. Mrs. Li was used as a sacrifice, so that the soldiers were promoted and the gods came to this world.

Arrows of different sizes knocked down the soldiers on the periphery, but immediately more people took the vacant positions and pushed the battering ram forward with all their strength. The power bestowed by the dark gods was behind the city gate. It can only be obtained by siege.

A tall chaotic creature that looked like an ogre pulled up the wood with a metal bull's head at the front. The towering muscles indicated that the object in his hand was extremely heavy. He pulled it up to the highest point, and then let it go suddenly. , the blood god's blessing and brute force will tear the gates apart.

The metal bull's head hit the city gate and there was a violent echo. The metal plate with the Ersun bear's head logo was sunken down a lot, and the city gate shook a little in front of this huge monster.

Seeing the effect, the Kurgan immediately ordered the Chaos Ogre to continue, promising that there would be endless carrion for him to eat.

It was expected that it would take multiple hits to the city gate to open it, but the creaking sound of the winch pulling the iron chain came from it, and the city gate guarding Erlengrad with the Ersun logo was slowly opened.

The Kurgans didn't care why. After all, this question is stupid. If you think about these stupid questions all day long, how can you satisfy the desires of the dark gods.

They picked up simple shields and battle axes and began to charge, their faces and movements appear bloodthirsty and crazy, and their tall bodies poured into the narrow gap.

And those who were waiting for the siege tower to enter the city wall saw the city gate open, and rushed towards this place by coincidence, their battle axes slapped on the shield, their eyes and mouths were wide open, and the neat and loud Kurgan battle song came out of their mouths, Communicate to every corner of the battlefield.

Songs, in the mouths of these predators, have also become tools to spread fear.
