Chapter 680 Avalon Meat Grinder (I)

The sound of the drums shook the sky, making the flags flutter.

Countless soldiers held bags of sand and, under the cover of shield soldiers, rushed towards the artificial moat outside Avalon Fortress.

There is an artificial moat outside the city of Avalon Fortress, and the water inside has long turned into a pool of smelly water.

In order to cover the soldiers who were responsible for filling in the moat, the siege crossbows and trebuchets in the Xilan army's formation began to show their power.

I saw a white command flag raised in the rear formation, and the soldiers who were holding the rope suddenly released their hands.

Under the influence of the huge force of the machine, the wooden tips of the trebuchets suddenly straightened.

Stacks of stones were also ejected into the air.

Then they passed through countless different trajectories one after another, and headed towards the Avalon Fortress separately.

These huge stones successively bombarded the walls of Avalon Fortress or the wilderness outside the fortress.

Under the bombardment of these huge rocks, huge pieces of smoke rose up one after another, and the smoke dispersed after a while.

A few unlucky men on the city wall were accidentally hit by a few pieces of gravel and were killed on the spot.

The giant siege crossbows in the Xilan army's military formation also showed their power along with their trebuchets.

Crossbow bolts thicker than an adult's arm were fired towards Avalon Fortress.

Stick on the wall outside the fortress, or fly over the scalps of the soldiers on the wall.

The walls of Avalon Fortress are made of carefully cut limestone. There are 8 brick belts running across the structure. Each brick belt is about 0.4 meters thick. In addition to being used for decoration, these brick belts can also It is used to enhance the cohesion of the structure by tightening the rock face and core and enhance the wall's resistance to earthquakes.

Therefore, even if it was hit by many boulders and crossbow arrows, the walls of Avalon Fortress did not waver at all. At most, they only spattered some gravel.

The Michael Knights also have trebuchets and siege crossbows.

Therefore, after Xilan's army launched a long-range attack with siege crossbows and trebuchets, the Michael Knights also fought back without showing any weakness.

Huge boulders and crossbow bolts flew up from the inner wall of the fortress and rushed towards Xilan's army.

In addition to starting to use trebuchets and siege crossbows, the crossbowmen placed on the inner city wall also began to fire bows and arrows at the soldiers who were filling the moat.

Despite the protection of the shield soldiers, due to the dense arrow rain, many arrows still passed through the gaps between the shields and hit the shield soldiers behind the shields or the soldiers who were transporting sand.

Because the trebuchets and siege crossbows of the Michael Knights are placed on the high inner city wall, compared with the Hiran Army, the Michael Knights shoot downward, while the Hiran Army shoots upward.

Therefore, in terms of range, the Michael Knights are still ahead of the Hiran Army.

Although the soldiers of the two armies have not yet come into contact, the bloody battle has already begun.

The boulders and arrows from the two armies came and went.

Many soldiers of the Michael Knights and the Hiran Army were hit or shot by boulders or crossbow arrows, turning into puddles of bloody meat.

Under the cover of the shield soldiers, the moat of Avalon Fortress was finally filled with sand.

Dominic set up his formation on a high ground, which is convenient for commanding and dispatching the entire army.

After seeing that the moat of Avalon Fortress was finally filled, Dominic personally picked up the horn and blew the charge, inspiring the entire army to move forward bravely.

Countless Xilan soldiers carried ladders and pushed siege engines, and rushed towards the Avalon Fortress. The ground was filled with smoke and dust.

"Fire the arrow!"

After seeing the soldiers of the Hiran Army entering the shooting range of the crossbows, swarms of black locusts rose up from the inner walls of Avalon Fortress again.

This time the arrow rain was more intensive.

Before they could reach the city wall, many Xilan soldiers fell down after being hit by arrows.

The Xilan Army was not willing to be outdone and fought back.

It's a pity that because the Michael Knights fired from above and the Hiran Army fired from above, the results of the Hiran Army's crossbowmen were not as brilliant as those of the Michael Knights' crossbowmen.

However, no matter how capable the crossbowmen of the Michael Knights were, they could not stop the Hiran army from rushing under the outer wall of the fortress and setting up a ladder.

Ladders were set up on the city wall, and soldiers held shields on their heads, climbing up despite the rain of arrows.

The Xilan army's offensive was extremely fierce. More and more ladders were put up on the city wall, and more and more soldiers began to climb up the ladders towards the city wall.

But the Knights of Michael, who are full of fierce generals, are not vegetarians either.

…

…

The 1st battle zone of the outer city wall (the area where the 1st Army is responsible).

"Drink!"

Raymond shouted loudly, swung the huge ax gun in his hand, and slashed at a ladder in front of him that had just been erected on the city wall.

Under Raymond's powerful and heavy blow, the upper part of the ladder was immediately split into pieces.

The soldier who was climbing up the ladder unfortunately fell back to the ground along with the ladder. He was not dead but also seriously injured.

Raymond's bravery greatly inspired the officers and soldiers of the 1st Army in charge of the 1st theater.

On the 1st theater side, more and more ladders were pushed down by the soldiers of the 1st Army whose morale was greatly boosted.

…

…

The 2nd War Zone of the Outer City Wall (the area where the 2nd Army is responsible).

Nearly 10 Xilan Army soldiers successfully climbed a ladder to the city wall of the 2nd theater.

These Xilan Army soldiers were not in a hurry to attack the surrounding Knights soldiers.

Instead, they set up their huge shields that were nearly one person tall, and guarded the ladder tightly, not allowing any knight soldiers to approach, so that more Hiran soldiers could climb up the city wall from below.

Because these soldiers were defending with their shields tightly, the surrounding 2nd Army soldiers could not destroy the ladder immediately, and could only watch more and more Hiran soldiers climb up the city wall along the ladder.

At this moment, a black light flashed.

Samuel waved his iron chain and attacked the Hiran soldiers who were guarding the ladder.

The black light enveloped these Hiran soldiers.

The heavy iron chain, swinging at high speed, has amazing energy and destructive power.

After a while, Samuel knocked down these Hiran soldiers with his iron chain, then rushed over to draw his knight sword and slashed at the ladder.

Under Samuel's slash, the ladder was successfully destroyed.

This wall-climbing stronghold of the Hiram Army, which many people could not do anything about, was easily destroyed by Samuel alone.

Like the soldiers of the 1st Army, the soldiers of the 2nd Army saw their commander so brave, and their morale and military spirit were greatly boosted.

Although Gary, the commander of the 3rd Army, and Dale, the commander of the 4th Army, were not as brave as Raymond and Samuel, Gary and Dale still pushed down the ladders one by one with their excellent command ability.

The deafening shouts and the strong smell of blood covered the 4,000-meter-long Avalon Fortress wall from east to west.

Fighting and death are everywhere.
