The Kingdom of Northland's siege chariots were built from large logs. However, in order to attack Blackstone Fort, the siege chariots of the Kingdom of Northland were even wider and taller. They had a wider base and were wrapped tightly in rawhide. There were wooden wheels attached to the base that were slowly pulled forward by horses. There were more than a hundred people on top of the siege chariot. They pulled up a large wooden board wrapped in leather as cover to block the enemy's arrows. At the same time, they opened shooting holes in the wooden board and shot arrows at the top of the wall.
When the siege wagons neared the top of the city, the giant wooden planks would be lowered to form a wide wooden bridge. The soldiers of the Norland Kingdom could then rush up to the top of the city. The siege wagons were very effective in sieging a city, but their weakness was also obvious. They could easily become huge live targets. The catapults could destroy them after a few hits.
When the Northland army gradually approached the wall, Fireball stopped shooting. This was necessary. Otherwise, not only would they hurt their own troops, but they would also be unable to scale the walls. As the source of the fire was cut off, the flames began to die down. At this time, a large number of civilians rushed up the wall. They used the ice water that they had prepared to cool down the wall and carried away the charred remains of the Derman soldiers. They used fine sand to extinguish the flames that were still burning. At the same time, 10,000 Derman soldiers immediately entered the north wall from the east and west. Hundreds of smaller trebuchets were also installed and moved quickly. The Derman army was fighting for this short period of time. If they missed this golden opportunity, not only would Alonso's counterattack plan fail, but Blackstone Fort would also be in danger of being breached. This required the Derman army to be highly skilled and to be able to enter battle mode as quickly as possible.
There was silence on the wall. Thousands of German Empire crossbowmen were ready. The first round of magic crystal cannons was also in place, waiting for the final order to fire. The counterattack was about to begin.
Alonso stared sternly at the tens of thousands of Northland soldiers below the wall. At least 10,000 Northland soldiers had entered the range of the arrows. The 20 siege chariots were only a few hundred meters away from the wall. He could even see the murderous faces on the siege chariots. The time was ripe for a counterattack. Alonso gritted his teeth and ordered, "Counterattack!"
As the drums sounded, thousands of arrows were fired from the top of the city walls. The thousands of Norslan soldiers at the front were caught off guard and were shot down. The counterattack of the Delman Army made the Norslan soldiers even more excited. They yelled and pushed the siege wagons forward. The siege wagons rumbled forward, and the Norslan soldiers below were aggressive. Suddenly, a black dot appeared in the sky. This was the magic crystal cannons of the Delman Army. Within a range of five miles and two hundred steps deep, a hundred magic crystal cannons with white smoke fell from the sky. This was the first time the Norslan soldiers had seen these black spheres. They all raised their heads and looked at these spheres in shock. Suddenly, a magic crystal cannon exploded above the heads of the Norslan soldiers. A bright yellow light flashed in the sky, followed by an earth-shattering explosion. A cloud of black smoke rose up, and dozens of Norslan soldiers were blown to pieces. Hundreds of Norslan soldiers were blown away by the shockwave. There were countless casualties, and their metal shells were blown into pieces. The pieces were mixed with hundreds of small nails that were dipped in poison and shot out in all directions. Screams filled the air. Suddenly, a magic crystal cannon exploded above the heads of the Norslan soldiers. A bright yellow light flashed in the sky, followed by an earth-shattering explosion. A cloud of black smoke rose up, and dozens of Norslan soldiers were blown to pieces. Hundreds of Norslan soldiers were blown away by the shockwave.
The ninety-nine Magic Crystal Cannons exploded one after another in the middle of the crowd. The deafening sound of the explosion reverberated throughout the desert, shaking the earth. The intensity of the explosion was unbearable to watch. Extreme fear drove the Northland army into a frenzy. They threw down their weapons and fled, trampling on each other and pressing on each other. However, they had nowhere to go. Explosions and death were all around them. The battlefield seemed to have turned into a hell of a slaughterhouse. Large chunks of exploded corpses and blood flowed like a river. The Northland army within two hundred paces had suffered a catastrophe. They were like wheat fields that had been ravaged by a violent storm, collapsing in large swaths. There were barely any people left standing, only the wriggling in pools of blood. Twelve of the twenty siege wagons had been blown up, their huge bodies either collapsed or lying on the ground, surrounded by corpses and flowing blood.
The Derman army's first attack had almost wiped out the ten thousand Northland soldiers. There were many casualties. The Northland army had never seen such a violent weapon before. It was different from the Magic Crystal Cannons they had seen before. The power of the Magic Crystal Cannons was simply outrageous. In such a tragic battlefield, the army at the back was stunned for a moment before frantically fleeing. Even the soldiers operating the heavy catapults were terrified and fled with them. In an instant, the army was defeated like a landslide.
At the moment of the explosion, King Gravel's heart almost stopped beating. He could not believe what he had heard and seen. There was actually such a violent weapon in the world. He could not think of a suitable word to describe his feelings. He could only feel a chill run down his spine, and he even felt a sense of despair.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind. His arrogant personality made it impossible for him to accept such a failure. No! He had not failed yet.
King Gravel pulled out his two-handed sword and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don't run! Counterattack! Burn the Derman's army to the ground! Send the order to all the soldiers to press forward. Anyone who retreats will be beheaded! "
"King Gravel, you can't be so foolish. You will destroy us!"
Seru Khan shouted desperately behind him. He had already seen through Alonso's strategy. He had given up on long-range weapons to lure the Arabian army to press forward. Then, he would use lightning to kill a large number of soldiers. However, King Gravel did not see through it at all. This made Seru Khan very anxious.
"King Gravel, we can't press forward with the army. We will all die."
Under King Gravel's command, the Northland army's drums rumbled. Almost a hundred fireballs were fired towards the Derman's army. This time, the Derman's army quickly retreated. The entire northern wall was once again engulfed in a sea of fire.
Under the encouragement of the drums, the Kingdom of Northland's army once again marched towards Blackstone Fort. Dozens of siege wagons slowly moved forward. At this time, a large battering ram appeared in the army. Under the pull of the horses, they approached the city gate step by step.
This time, the Northland army did not give the Derman's army any chance to retaliate. Round after round of fireballs were thrown. Not only did the city gate burst into flames, even the walls and the interior of the city were set ablaze. However, the Derman's army remained silent and did not retaliate.
