Chapter 1012, Siege Master

The dwarf army retreated into the city, and the heavy city gate suddenly fell. The moment the city gate landed, there was a loud noise, and the surrounding ground shook.

This is enough to show how heavy this city gate is.

Generally speaking, in battles at this level, the city gates will undoubtedly need to be specially reinforced to prevent them from being knocked open by the enemy's siege equipment.

Especially after seeing their giant elephant warriors from all over the world, John Thrall gritted his teeth and directly replaced all the city gates on his four borders with armored plates, which greatly improved the defensive capabilities of the city gates.

Now to get back to the topic, the vanguard army's offensive is undoubtedly continuing.

The defensive capabilities of this gate and the towering walls of the dwarf city are obviously much greater than those of trenches.

After all, the defense levels are not at the same level at all.

Under this premise, the fundamental reason why John Saar still dug trenches was to reduce the burden on the gates and walls of his border city.

Even as a city defender, defending the city wall is the last resort in a disadvantageous situation.

Everyone will not choose to defend at the beginning, but will go out of the city to attack.

Because once defended, the city gates and walls will begin to withstand attacks from the opposite side and then begin to be damaged.

No matter how strong the copper wall is, it will collapse in the face of continuous bombardment.

Once the city gates and walls fell down, the city basically fell.

Therefore, when you have the strength to fight, it is necessary to take the initiative to go out of the city to attack.

As for those who directly choose to defend the city wall as soon as the battle begins, there are basically only two reasons.

The first reason is that the general who defended the city was a fool who had no actual combat experience, was a smart guy, and only relied on his imagination, and his ideas were pretty beautiful.

The second reason is that the defenders were in an absolutely unfavorable situation from the beginning. They would definitely die if they left the city. They could only defend the city wall and wait for reinforcements from the rear to help them relieve the siege.

Although the dwarves are short in height, the city wall is not short at all.

A visual inspection of the height showed that it reached the level of twenty meters.

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Gawain ordered the vanguard to temporarily retreat while decisively letting the siege troops push forward.

During this expedition, he directly pushed out twenty three-bow crossbows and twelve cannons. Time was tight after all, and the number of new cannons was also limited.

After the all-out war started, he dragged all the cannons from other cities in the Western Territory. The effect of his siege master's talent will be fully demonstrated at this moment.

"Fire!!!"

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the flying cannonballs directly hit the wall of the dwarf city in the distance.

However, the dwarf artillerymen who are outstandingly talented in firearms are obviously not vegetarians.

Under the cover of the city wall, they have a more comfortable output environment than the siege troops outside the city. At the same time, the height advantage of the 20-meter city wall also gives the city defense equipment a certain degree of attack range.

Therefore, Kaladin Black Iron is quite confident in this aspect.

The tyrannical firepower roared crazily, maintaining the maximum effective range. The moment the artillery shells hit the surface of the city wall, they directly blasted a large crater.

The continuous shelling actually caused the specially thickened and reinforced city wall under his feet to shake!

Feeling this change, Kaladin Black Iron's expression suddenly changed as he moved to the wall.

As the general who defended the border city, he naturally had experience fighting against the armies of civilizations from all realms during previous invasion wars.

Compared with that time, the effective range of the opposing artillery has been significantly improved. Now, when the artillery of both sides is bombarded, the other side basically has no disadvantage.

But the point is the power of this artillery strike! This level of destructive power has obviously exceeded the batch of cannons currently in service by their dwarf civilization!

"How is it possible? How could the power of the cannon on the opposite side be increased to such an extent in such a short period of time?!"

At this moment, Kaladin Black Iron's heart was filled with turmoil, and the shock on his face could not be concealed at all.

However, how did he know that the main reason why the bombardment of this siege force was so powerful was because of Gawain's humanoid BUFF!

The Siege Master's talent effect allows Gawain to increase the destructive power of all siege equipment under his command against enemy city defense buildings and facilities by 45% when commanding the siege troops to siege the city!

Under this premise, the silver-level passive skill and the effect of 'siege technique' increase the bonus effect of this destructive power by another 15%!

It is no exaggeration to say that with the blessing of this double BUFF, once the siege phase of the siege force enters, as long as there is no decisive huge gap in the siege equipment of the two sides, then Gao Wen, as the siege party, will basically win!!

The indiscriminate bombardment of twelve cannons, coupled with the heavy crossbows of twenty three-bow crossbows, the ferocious firepower looked like it was going to destroy the city wall in one go.

The huge pressure made Kaladin Black Iron quickly signal the cannon on the wall to attack the siege troops outside the city, trying to suppress them.

Knowing the other party's intentions, how could Gawain let them get their wish?

"All elf archers, prepare your wind-chasing arrows! Snipe all the artillery on the opposite wall to death!"

The elven archers equipped with wind-chasing arrows are simply the super snipers of this era.

The superb archery skills of the elves, combined with the ultra-long range and penetrating power of the wind-chasing arrows, make it difficult for the targets they target to survive.

After receiving the order, the elven archers bent their bows and set arrows, and at the same time, their skills were activated!

"Hawkeye!"

In an instant, his eyes became as sharp as an eagle's, and he directly locked onto the figures on the other side's wall.

This is a class-specific skill that can only be unlocked after the 'Elven Archer's' class item is upgraded to level four.

To put it simply, under the effect of this skill, elven archers can obtain super long-range vision and dynamic vision!

After quickly locking and aiming, a round of wind-chasing arrows flew out with a roar.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a precise sniper instantly took away the lives of a group of soldiers on the opposite wall.

The death of a large number of dwarf artillerymen brought the firepower of the defenders to a standstill.

Fortunately, Kaladin Black Iron was standing relatively far back at that time, otherwise, his name would have been added to the list of those killed in that round!

But even so, this miraculous sniping ability still plunged the entire wall into chaos.

"Shield soldiers, shield soldiers, hurry up and block it! Hurry!!"

Amid Kaladin Black Iron's slightly frightened roar, each armored shield soldier quickly formed a shield wall on top of the wall.

Kaladin Dark Iron, who was hiding behind the shield wall and feeling relieved, quickly turned his attention to the dwarf soldiers who were killed by an arrow.

Looking at the arrows that penetrated their eyebrows, throats and hearts, the muscles in the corners of Kaladin Black Iron's eyes twitched crazily at this moment.

"Where did this damn arrow come from?!"
