Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 458 Flying Dragon Fire

In a siege, the ideal situation for the defender is to avoid being approached by the enemy as much as possible, but this ideal situation is almost impossible to achieve.

No matter how perfect the defenses on the city walls were, the enemy had ten times the number of defenders. Looking down from the top of the city walls, it was like seeing a nest of cockroaches. No matter whether it was arrows or catapults, the killing efficiency was not high.

Of course, if we have two rows of Maxims, or go a step further and have Gatling Buddha sit on the city wall, that would be another matter.

The army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom advanced steadily under the rain of arrows, and when they approached the city wall, they came into contact with rows of chevaux de frise.

These chevaux de frise had been watered, and as it was freezing cold, they were soon frozen in place, making them difficult to move or destroy.

Chevaux de frise is mainly used to deal with cavalry, and when placed under the city wall it serves as a diversion to disrupt the enemy's formation.

In order to bypass these barricades, the formation of the soldiers of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom army became obviously skewed, and the solid vine armor shield wall also showed weaknesses.

The defenders on the city wall seized the opportunity and wiped out a large area with one attack.

But the effect was limited to this, and more soldiers rushed through the chevaux de frise.

Then they saw a moat under the wall of Kaimen City.

Or to be more precise, due to the dry season in winter, it is now just a moat.

The ditch was already filled with sharpened wooden stakes, which looked harmless now, but they soon would.

The soldiers who rushed to the ditch under the rain of arrows would immediately face an enchanted wall as high as 30 meters. Since they could only stand under the ditch, the height might be even more exaggerated.

It is not easy to climb such a high city wall. Even with a siege ladder, the length may not be enough to reach the edge.

Moreover, the shape of the city wall is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle, and the curvature does not appear to be very large. If you actually climb up, you will slide down very quickly.

In addition, the defenders on the city wall threw down boulders and wooden planks, and the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom, which was halfway up, was immediately hit by intensive attacks. The unlucky ones fell on the wooden stakes in the ditch and were pierced through.

Such a tall city wall obviously cannot be attacked simply by relying on a pile of people, so the main force of the Tandron Demon Kingdom’s army aimed at the city gate.

The city gate was a concave structure. As soon as a group of soldiers approached with battering rams, countless shooting holes opened on the walls on both sides. A row of crossbow arrows let them know what the killing zone was.

So far, the defense has been very successful, but both the enemy and Viola's side are well aware that this is just a tentative attack and just an appetizer.

Due to their huge size, a large number of siege equipment that were a step slower were not actually pushed up until this time.

Battering rams and chariots were slowly approaching, and catapults made a sharp sound of breaking wind as they threw huge rocks towards Kaimen City. Accompanied by a row of dense artillery fire, hundreds of field guns pulled by horses also began to pour ammunition towards the city walls.

The enchanted city wall is very strong. Even if modern self-propelled artillery on Earth is used to blow it up, it may not be able to be blasted open. These primitive artillery will not even leave a mark.

But just because the city wall is fine doesn’t mean that people are fine.

When heavy artillery shells whizz past your ears and your colleague who was just talking to you lies on the ground with only the lower half of his body left, the psychological impact is more terrifying than the lethality of artillery.

Moreover, the approaching rams and cloud vehicles are also a huge threat.

Once the battering ram enters the city gate, it is equivalent to an armored pile driver attacking the city gate. The cloud car is full of archers. Its height is shorter than the city wall, but the arrows it shoots will suppress the defenders on the city wall.

Once the cloud chariot is close to the city wall, the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom can use the combination of ladders and cloud chariots to climb the city wall.

On Viola's side, the crossbows, rapid-fire crossbows, and the few artillery pieces were all aimed at the approaching siege equipment, but the effect was not very good. In addition to the accuracy of these weapons being very problematic, the number of siege equipment prepared by the Tandron Demon Kingdom Army was also extremely large. After finally dismantling a cloud car, they turned around and saw that they still had more than ten.

The morale of the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom was high, and everyone was fearless of death. Within less than an hour after the war began, the situation on the battlefield tilted in their favor.

However, Kaimen City is not limited to this ability. Viola also has a trump card that has not been revealed. Although it is a bit early now, we can only try.

The soldiers on the city wall received the order and pulled back the cloth behind them, revealing a metal track seven or eight meters long.

Then they set up tracks on the city wall and aimed at the approaching siege machinery with a special iron crosshair.

Another group of soldiers carried up a large pile of things that looked like kites from under the city wall, except that each one was four or five meters long.

The army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom under the city wall immediately heard a sharp "whoosh" sound, accompanied by sparks, and something like a bird, with a wooden frame and a layer of paper covered on it, flew out from the city wall, dragging sparks.

No one had ever seen such a thing before, and it could even be said that it was a huge shock to the locals.

This thing can actually fly?

In their view, birds can fly because they can flap their wings, and dragons can fly because they have magic powers, but this kind of thing made of paper and wooden frame obviously has nothing to do with flying.

After all, how does it flap its wings?
Although it may be related to quality, some of these large kites flew crookedly, but compared with the trebuchet, their accuracy can be said to be able to hit whatever they were pointed at, and without exception, they were all aimed at siege weapons.

Especially at the moment of hitting the target, these large kites exploded into a huge ball of flames. After repeating this several times, the wooden siege equipment was ignited. For a while, the outside of the city wall was filled with the sharp sound of the violent burning gunpowder, as well as large and small fireballs.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Under the city wall, in the temporary command post, Oldie covered one eye. She was observing the battle situation with the secret eye connected to her optic nerve.

"Viola used my Dragon Fire, and it seems to be working quite well."

Since the locals have an inherent concept that "you must have magic to fly", this simple glider bomb is something they have never seen before.

To be honest, there is actually no technical content. Use a light wood frame, paste a few layers of paper to make it into the shape of a two-legged flying dragon, stuff some alchemical bombs or fuel into its belly, and the rest is to use gunpowder gas to launch it through the track. The principle is the same as that of the sky rocket.

It's hard to say what Alde watched when she went to Li Chengxi's house to watch TV, but this thing is indeed useful as a precision strike weapon.
After all, it is easy for Olde to destroy a siege vehicle with her ability, but if she is asked to do it all, and the Kaimen City is now under attack on three sides, she will be exhausted and unable to finish it.

"I know your invention is very useful. Keep an eye on the situation on the city wall."

The commander-in-chief of the entire defensive battle was not Viola, but Wendy. However, Wendy was just an ordinary person who was powerless. It was very dangerous for her to be hit by stray bullets when she went up to the city wall to watch the battle.

So Wendy stayed in the safe command post and observed the battle outside through Alde's magic screen.

At present, the most fierce offensive is launched by the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom, the Enwei Demon Kingdom is relatively average, and the most slack is the Lakshurya Demon Kingdom, and they have just begun to act.

Since the situation is still unclear, Wendy does not dare to transfer soldiers to the city wall attacked by the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom, and can only continue to pay close attention.

Just at this time, Wendy saw several huge monsters appearing from the Enwei Demon Kingdom’s army. She initially thought they were siege weapons, but when she got a little closer, she was suddenly shocked.

--boom!

With a loud bang from the roof, broken stones and rubble fell like raindrops, and the temporary command post under the city wall, which was supposed to be safe, was directly hit...
