There were only 24 catapults in Qin Yin's army, but their accuracy was much higher than the 100 or so Wing Skeletons' catapults. The catapults in the city were also a little densely packed. After two rounds of attacks, Qin Yin lost half of the catapults in the rear, and 52 of the catapults in the city were destroyed.
Fortunately, the catapults in the city were made of bone. There were no metal parts, so when they broke, there were no sawdust flying everywhere.
The bone catapults that were hit by the huge rocks were scattered into a pile of parts. Only the soldiers who were hit directly died.
At this time, the advantage of numbers showed. There were more than 50 catapults left in the city, and they were firing at the 12 catapults behind Qin Yin's army. No matter how Qin Yin adjusted the frequency of the catapults, they could not keep up with the speed in the city.
The result of destroying each other's catapults was that there were 13 bone catapults left in the city, and there were only two catapults left outside. The two catapults could no longer pose a major threat to the soldiers in the city, and the 13 bone catapults could not completely suppress the enemy's attack.
Qin Yin's siege equipment was quickly pushed to the bottom of the city. The 13 catapults could not destroy the steel battering ram. After killing many soldiers, the huge steel battering ram crashed into the city gate with a loud bang. The sharp ram in front of it, which was more than two meters long, smashed the city gate into pieces.
Below the ram, a small door opened, and Qin Yin's light infantry rushed into the gate first. There were more than 100 soldiers hidden in the huge ram. The door behind the ram also opened, and Qin Yin's army could directly enter the city through this steel battering ram that was more than 10 meters long.
All the equipment Antoshi arranged for this attack was aimed at this small town. The town's walls were extremely thick, and even magic catapults could not destroy them. However, the city gate was only made of wood, and it was covered with a layer of red copper.
Red copper was tough, and it was difficult to tear it apart. However, Qin Yin's huge ram was a terrifying weapon. The soldiers kept laying hardwood underneath to replace the metal tracks. The hardwood that was one foot thick was crushed into pieces. Under the effect of the magic formation, the huge metal chain inside the ram pulled the gears, and the ram crashed into the city gate at more than 30 miles.
The catapults and arrows could only kill the soldiers laying the hardwood, but they could not destroy the metal battering rams.
When Trish brought the three demons to the city gate, they were just in time to see a large number of Qinyin infantry rushing in. Fifty light infantry and fifty heavy infantry stood guard at the city gate, opening the way for the people behind.
Zola pulled out his Zhanmadao and was about to rush forward, but Triss pulled him back and said, "Don't worry, the skeleton let them in on purpose."
Zola took a look. Sure enough, there were a lot of soldiers near the city gate, but only a hundred or so skeletons rushed forward to attack. The Qin Yin infantrymen guarding the gate raised their metal shields and blocked the skeletons, refusing to retaliate even if they died.
According to Qin Yinren's plan, as long as the soldiers at the back rushed into the city during the collision, they would quickly seize the favorable terrain and charge up the city walls. Then, they would be able to take down the town from both sides.
"What should we do?" Seeing that the winged skeleton had its own idea, Zola asked Trish.
"I'll go see Bing. You three, stay nearby and watch. Eva, if there are heavy infantry among the enemy and they are too strong, you go up and hold them off for a while. Don't let this place fall. "
"Yes." Eva took out his new weapon, a huge meteor hammer. The meteor hammer had a chain that was more than four meters long, and the hammer head was more than half a meter in diameter, with triangular metal spikes that were more than a foot long. Eva's meteor hammer was strong enough to smash most metal shields.
Dorothy stepped back carefully with her six mages. In such an environment, she didn't want to rush to the front, because what appeared behind Qin Yinren was likely to be an assembled crossbow, the kind that could kill mages.
The six mages in white robes were also very nervous. They couldn't attack their comrades. Fortunately, the demons didn't want to force them and just watched from afar. The hundred infantrymen blocked the city gate, and a large number of infantrymen behind them rushed to the metal collision.
At the end of the metal collision was a door with a cross-section of more than three meters wide. The hollow inside could allow fully armed soldiers to pass through. Dozens of small metal chariots were pushed up from the back. These chariots formed a wall so that the soldiers could enter the passage while facing the arrows.
Triss walked to the top of the city wall and saw that the winged skeleton was watching from the top of the city wall with his subordinates. The skeleton soldiers on the top of the city wall were shooting arrows down slowly, and they didn't seem very enthusiastic.
"Soldiers …"
Without looking back, the winged skeleton said to Triss, "Triss, I'm going to assassinate the general of this army. There will be a Magic Shooter with him. It's a bit troublesome. How about you come with me?"
"Sure. Do you want Zola and the others to come up?"
"No need. You and I are enough." The winged skeleton held his giant axe in one hand and pointed to the distance with the other. "The general is still four miles away. We'll attack when he's half a mile away."
"A thousand miles … I can't fly that fast." Triss hesitated. Her flying ability was not as good as the winged skeleton's.
"You can do it in thirty seconds, right? The enemy is only a level-seven mage. He can't prepare a large-scale spell in such a short time. But he has a chance to release a scroll. My plan is … "
"I understand. To release a level-eight scroll in thirty seconds, it can only be a single-target attack. It depends on luck which one of us he attacks," Triss said coldly.
"Well, release a level-eight scroll and this Magic Shooter will lose all his mental strength. The one who is not injured will go kill him. The one who is attacked by a level-eight spell will go kill the general."
Seeing that Triss was still hesitating, the winged skeleton said, "You don't dare?"
"Why not!" Triss's arrogance was aroused by the winged skeleton. The enemy was only a level-seven magic shooter. If it was one on one, he was not afraid at all. However, the enemy had a few great mages. If all of them could release level-seven scrolls, it would be dangerous.
According to his own deduction, the possibility of this was very small. After all, not everyone was as rich as Salin, who could casually throw high-level scrolls at people. The enemy was an elite army. It was possible for a level-seven magic shooter to have a level-eight scroll.
"Then let's bet on our luck." The winged skeleton looked into the distance. Qin Yin's army continued to press forward. The two catapults were still searching for the coordinates of the catapults in the city. Under the protection of the Magic Shooter, the general followed the army forward.
This Battalion General was very careful. Under his command, the entire army was like a single entity. He was a talent. Unfortunately, he went against his master. This kind of talent was better off dead.
The winged skeleton's guess was right. The general thought of retreating. If the attack of the metal battering ram failed, he would lead the army away. However, Mu En, who was playing the role of the Magic Shooter, seemed to have exhausted his mental strength. He no longer cast high-level spells. Instead, he kept using low-level spells to attack the soldiers near the city wall.
The city gate had already been broken. More and more infantrymen started hacking with heavy axes. A low-level mage mixed in and released fireballs, trying to expand the gap in the city gate.
Even so, Mu En, who was playing the role of the Magic Shooter, did not make a move.
Qin Yin's battalion commander thought that he saw an opportunity, and commanded his army to advance towards the northern city gate. Qin Yin's regular army was well-equipped, and the infantry was not concentrated. Everyone held up a shield to prevent themselves from being injured by arrows. All kinds of chariots spread out to cover the advance of the soldiers. The big crossbows shot from the chariots started to show their power when they were two hundred meters away from the city wall.
The two-meter-long crossbow bolts could penetrate nearly half of the city wall. The thick crossbow bolts pierced into the city wall. Qin Yin infantrymen started to climb up the city wall with the help of the crossbow bolts.
Without the winged skeleton, the new soldiers in the town would not be able to resist such an attack.
They advanced step by step in an orderly manner. More than twenty chariots even shot flaming arrows. They streaked across the sky and shot into the town's arrow towers. These arrow towers were not made of metal. They were made of bricks and wood. The wood was fireproof, but the huge arrows were too powerful. They shot holes in the arrow towers, bringing the flames in and setting them on fire.
There was fuel stored in the arrows. Even if the buildings were made of stone, they would still burn. The scattered kerosene caused the soldiers in the arrow towers to escape like crazy. The arrow towers on the north side of the town were lost.
The Wing Skeleton still didn't care. The big crossbows in the watchtower weren't much of a threat to the enemy. He ordered the jade skeletons to control the undead archers and guard the alchemy crossbows so that the catapults wouldn't be destroyed. He looked back at Trish and said, "Two hundred meters away. Get ready."
Trish nodded. His stunning appearance began to change. His body kept expanding. Huge metal plates flipped out from his waist belt and covered his chest and back. Trish's body quickly grew to more than eight meters in length while leaning against the wall.
The winged skeleton was also amazed by the power contained in Trish's body. The body of a demon was really strong. Such a huge body should attract the Magic Shooter, right?
He had already thought about it. If he and Trish flew over at the same time, the enemy Magic Shooter would definitely pay more attention to Trish. Trish's appearance was too terrifying. There was more than a 90% chance that the level-eight spell would fall on Trish.
The Qin Yin soldiers were already close to eleven hundred meters away. A pair of bone wings grew on the back of the winged skeleton armor and extended to both sides. On the bone wings, black undead runes flowed. The winged skeleton picked up the giant axe and said, "One hundred meters. Hurry up!"
The huge wings on Trish's back also grew. The undead nearby were also pushed away. Trish's shoes were already gone. His sharp toes were exposed and hooked into the stones on the city wall.
"Cut the crap!"
"Go!"
Along with Mu En's shout, all the Qin Yin soldiers under the city wall could hear the Magic Shooter's anger.
"Kill them!" Mu En's throat was about to break from all the shouting. With a shout, the Winged Skeleton and Tris flew into the air and pounced towards the center of Qin Yin's army. Their targets were the level-seven Magician and the Battalion General.
