Chapter 181 Siege War without Tools
Chapter 181 Siege War without Tools
What's the quickest way to return?
Jump down.
On the other side, the soldiers defending the city who jumped down from the city wall were not in serious danger because they had been transformed into crazy soldiers. It was not a big deal to break two or three legs or one or two arms. What's more, Adechi, who was unaware of the situation before, turned the fossils into mud and changed their falling point into mud, which greatly increased their chances of survival.
And what about this side? What about the Abes, the Min-Qing people, and the side in the direction of Sweet Leaf City?
Fortunately, Splinters are not afraid of fall damage.
These jelly-shaped split bodies returned to the small observation deck where they first arrived, and lined up to jump down one by one.
The sight of them falling from great heights is quite amusing.
In themselves, their respective forms resemble worms or kittens and puppies, and they can change their forms when necessary.
And now, as it begins to fall, the resistance of the air causes its shape to begin to distort.
No matter what their previous shape was, after falling for a period of time, they seemed to be gently twisted by invisible hands, gradually changing from their original shape to an ellipsoid, hanging in the air like a crystal clear gem.
And then, a layer of slight ripples appeared on the surface of the jelly ellipsoid, like ripples on the water.
It is the result of the turbulent wind and waves, and these ripples continue to spread as the jelly fragments fall, emitting a strange luster.
When the jelly ball finally hits the ground and touches the ground, its shape has been completely distorted, becoming flat and irregular.
But even so, these split bodies with enhanced survivability would certainly not fall to pieces. Instead, under Abes's surprised eyes, they bounced back like a soft spring and restored their original shape.
However, after they merged with the split members of the Minqiu tribe and helped them recover their hands or arms, the news they conveyed was definitely not good.
The incarnation, the crazy soldiers, the mountains of corpses and blood in the castle, and the strange mobilization scene at the end, when all this information poured into his mind, even the most serious and calm Mint could not control his emotions.
How could this be? What exactly happened in Crow Castle?
The situation was urgent. All he had to know was that there was an anomaly, and that it would be bad if he rashly engaged in a battle there, so Abes did not hesitate at all.
Get into the castle as quickly as possible!
But the fastest way to return is to jump down, the fastest way to enter is much more difficult...
----------
Because of their small size and specially optimized transparency, the split bodies can be approached and can leisurely climb on the city walls.
But now, when Abes led the warriors of the Minqin tribe and rushed towards the castle, the situation was completely different.
Even though they were already using the incarnated crazy soldiers, a means they could not control, to defend on the other side of the city wall, this did not mean that the defenses in all other directions of the Crow Castle had been withdrawn.
When a large group of living people rushed over from hundreds of meters away, and there were no plants or low walls to block their view, the soldiers guarding the city in the direction of Sweet Leaf City were not blind, so they naturally discovered them.
“Stop there!”
"Back off!"
"Don't come any closer!!"
Then, a round of warning arrows flew over.
Seeing these threatening signals, Abes just sneered.
City wall?
Although Raven Castle, as a military fortress, has walls that are much higher than those of ordinary cities and castles, such a height only limits the performance of ordinary people.
Extraordinary people can certainly go up there with some effort.
It is because of this that we have a Corps of Mages in the castle, a city defense force field in places like Raven Castle, and technology has developed weapons with amazing destructive power such as light explosion particles.
Everything is to limit the extraordinary people, just like the best way to limit nuclear threats and nuclear proliferation is to have nuclear bombs yourself.
however……
According to the intelligence brought back by the splinters, everything has changed.
The current situation in the Raven Castle is absolutely abnormal. In an environment with incarnations and crazy soldiers, and so many corpses and flesh and blood, they did not see the existence of the Mage Corps.
Or the Mage Corps had already fallen victim to the previous frenzy.
Otherwise, even if they still exist, I'm afraid the mages in Raven Castle may not be able to maintain their sanity and accuracy in casting spells...
There is no need to worry about the city’s defense force field.
They had been bombarded for a long time but hadn't activated the city defense force field. And now that they are about to start the siege, they will definitely not open it. After all, when someone is attacking the city, they will never let their own people be isolated in their own small space by the force field.
Otherwise, all means of mobilization, transportation, refueling and reinforcement will be useless, and we can only sit and wait for death.
As for the light explosion particles, can that expensive thing compare to the grenades and artillery shells they mass-produced?
Crow Castle, now when you face the extraordinary ones, it is like you are facing an embarrassing situation where you have equivalent nuclear bomb technology but cannot find the nuclear button.
And now, use arrows to fight against the extraordinary people?
As Abes approached quickly, he spoke, "Bud told me in the letter that the warriors of the Minqiu tribe are very talented. They can reach the basic level of extraordinary people of other races without any training."
"And now, it's time to show your level."
"Let them see that when dealing with extraordinary people, we must show equal respect!!!"
"Rage! Second Rage!!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, dense arrows rained down, instead of the previous small fights.
However, faced with the situation before them, Abes and the others did not stop, but instead sped up.
The first one was Abes. He had previously challenged the giant figure spitting black water from the deep well under the East Gate Cemetery in a state of rage.
And now, the situation is similar.
"Let me measure which way is longer."
With the blessing of flexible speed, Abes is like a nimble cheetah.
Not only did he quickly pass through the rain of arrows, but he also went straight to the bottom of the city wall and was eager to climb up.
Without siege ladders or catapults to launch a long-range attack to help them gain an advantage, Abes could only rely on himself.
However, for him now, his body has become a weapon that far exceeds any other tool.
The Minqiu people also seemed to be inspired by Abes.
After making sure that there would be no danger beyond their ability to handle, they demonstrated the advantages of the Minqiu people as natural born warriors, as people who could achieve half a step toward transcendence without doing anything.
First of all, there were arrows. Although they couldn't dodge them like Abes, they were almost fearless.
Even if an arrow hits them, it will not leave any wounds.
They didn't have any fancy robes on them, just ordinary armor, which was even better than that of Abes who was rushing in the front.
After all, for the effect of rage, Abes did not have the possibility to wear medium armor or heavy armor.
However, when these jelly-like bodies, with solemn and firm faces, reveal their unyielding determination, it is enough to make people feel scared.
When the enemy's arrows flew, the warriors of the Minqiu tribe did not retreat. Instead, they stood up straight and faced these deadly attacks without fear.
The damage caused to them by sharp weapons and flying props is so minimal.
It’s not that they deliberately wanted to use their bodies to block the arrows, but they couldn’t dodge like Abes.
After arriving at the bottom of the city wall, Abes and the Minqiu people also adopted different methods of entry.
Abes chose rock climbing.
Abes, who had once run around in a slippery, deep well with black water, what was there to be afraid of at this moment, facing an ordinary city wall?
The gaps in the bricks and stones, or those almost imperceptible unevenness, as long as there was a possibility, the defending soldiers on the walls of Raven Castle could only watch Abes complete it.
After a pause of a few seconds, some people hurriedly lowered the shooting angle of their longbows and crossbows, trying to shoot at Abes.
Only, there were no rolling stones, hot oil or anything else.
After all, supplies were still needed on the other side of the city wall, so they had never expected that there would be an attack coming from this side and did not leave any spare supplies here.
In addition, after being incarnated, the crazy soldiers are all strong and powerful. They can move a rolling stone that requires two or three people to throw, and their energy consumption rate is much faster than theirs.
Even if they wanted to transfer supplies now, there might not be any left.
Even if there are some left, who would dare to go and deal with those crazy soldiers who have already taken on flesh?
Everyone knows that the result of taking on a body is madness and death...
Even though almost every soldier in the Crow Castle had been stained with the blood of their own kind, and even tasted their own flesh, after calming down, they were still unwilling to go to death so quickly, unwilling to admit that they were no longer human beings in the rational sense...
Therefore, arrows have become the only means now.
As for the attack coming from above his head, Abes simply waved his hand, pulled out the half-sword from his waist, and then swung it upwards.
Boom!
A guy who was trying to take aim had his arm cut off by the half-sword thrown by Abes.
In pain, he fell directly off the city wall, and Abes seized the opportunity, grabbed him, and with another kick, he inserted the half-sword of his falling hand into the city wall.
Being able to climb on the city wall with one hand and grab a falling soldier with the other hand requires such strength that it is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do.
Although it has been confirmed that the other party may be a supernatural being, it still feels extremely horrified when seeing it with my own eyes.
Not only was he able to catch the falling person, but he was also able to kick the falling sword against the wall and fix it in place at almost the same time. What kind of reaction speed and strength does that require!
"Thank you, my friend..."
The soldier from Crow Castle who thought he was going to be killed by the fall came to his senses from the joy of being rescued and actually expressed his gratitude to Abes.
"Friend? I'm not your friend. You are my friend."
As Abes said this, he pushed the other person on his head, and what greeted this "friend" was naturally a rain of arrows pouring down from the city wall.
"Ahhhhh! No! Help me!"
And with the appearance of a human sandbag, the situation became increasingly favorable to Abes.
Facing the arrow (since he wasn't the one hit anyway), Abes was able to move his body flexibly and then stepped on his precious magic-infused weapon.
Dang! Buzz~
With a rebound, Abes jumped high like a flying creature and rolled directly onto the city wall.
And next...
The fight is about to begin!
At the same time, under the city wall, the Minqiu people also showed their methods.
Although they are half a step away from being extraordinary, and have no path or corresponding profession, their natural strength and quick recovery give them many means and methods to use.
For example...blunt weapons!
Many people, due to misleading images from games and movies, take it for granted that blunt instruments are extremely large and heavy, and can kill people in one blow just by their weight.
However, in the real world, war hammers in medieval Europe rarely weighed more than 1.5 kg.
On the battlefield of Seris, common blunt weapons such as bone sticks were not as big as a head or even two heads. They were about the size of household hammers.
The weight is also controlled to be the same as that of ordinary one-handed swords and other weapons. After all, if it needs to be swung, it cannot exceed the norm and common sense.
If it is on the battlefield, blunt weapons that need to be deployed on a large scale are simply a wooden stick with a hammer head.
Not to mention creating those exaggerated golden or silver melon shapes, even the basic center of balance does not exist.
And what about in today's world?
It also follows a similar rule. The blunt instruments in the hands of ordinary people are of the same shape and size as those in medieval Europe that Abes knew.
However, such exceptions need to eliminate some exceptions.
For example, the extraordinary people, or special races like the Minqiu people.
A tremendous amount of strength that can be acquired without training, and a body structure that will not dislocate or injure itself even if it is swung at odd angles.
This means that if the Min-Qing people choose blunt weapons, the shapes will be the same size as those in games or movies and TV dramas.
And when such an exaggerated thing hit the city walls and gates, the countdown was already hanging over the heads of the soldiers of Crow Castle.
Battering ram?
What battering ram do you need?
The entire body of the Minqiu tribe can rebound at a large angle of more than 270 degrees to achieve the ultimate force. With the huge hammers at hand, the effect will only be better and not worse.
Just as Abes could climb up the city wall with his body strength without a ladder, the Minqin people did not need a battering ram, but could break through the city wall with only the "individual" weapons in their hands.
