Knock, knock, knock ...

The stirring sound of war drums came from the rear of the imperial army, and at this moment, the empire's more than 300,000 troops were advancing towards the Black Earth Fortress.

Facing the towering pitch-black walls, the imperial soldiers didn't shy away, but maintained a neat formation and advanced forward at an even pace.

At the forefront of the imperial army was a large row of heavy shield soldiers, the shields in their hands were raised diagonally upwards, there would be no enemies in the front, the fatal attack must come from the dozens of meters high fortress.

The soldiers after the heavy shield soldiers were very special, they wore light armor and didn't even carry weapons, each of them carried a bamboo basket on their backs, inside the basket were irregularly shaped stones of various sizes, these stones were the key to this battle.

The front of the imperial army were all of this size formation, a beat of heavy shield soldiers, behind them were transportation soldiers carrying stones, then behind them were heavy shield soldiers again, and so on and so forth.

As the Imperial Army pushed forward, the Horde troops on the walls of the Black Earth Fortress all tensed their bodies.

At the edge of the fortress walls were loaded with a large crossbow, these crossbows were like a turret, completely forged from metal, in order to fill this thing with bullets, it was necessary to use a crank wheel, the crank wheel was somewhat similar to the old walking tractor starter lever, but only enlarged in size.

Click, click, click, click ...

Machine crossbow cocking sound in succession, this large machine crossbow can't be cocked in advance, not fired within a minute after cocking, the powerful tension of the bowstring will deform the machine crossbow, which can be seen how horrible the power of this thing is.

A dwarf is busy on the city wall, there are three dwarves near each machine crossbow, one is responsible for launching, one is responsible for filling, one is responsible for shaking the wheel to wind up, their movements are neat, less than ten seconds, more than three hundred machine crossbows on the city wall to complete the winding up, don't think that there are only three hundred machine crossbows on the black earth fortress, look around, there are at least thousands of machine crossbows on the fortress, it's just that the battle line is so long, the other machine crossbows can't be used, this kind of movable machine crossbows have already made this section of the fortress more powerful, it is not possible to use this kind of machine crossbows. This movable crossbow has already filled up this section of the city wall.

Before the Imperial Army attacked the Black Earth Fortress, it was almost a one-sided massacre by the tribal side against them, as for counterattacking with a rain of arrows, it was basically ineffective.

This kind of horrible war weapon was called 'Protector Heavy Wheel Crossbow', invented and built by the dwarves.

If the 'Protector Heavy Wheel Crossbow' only fires ordinary large crossbows, then the tribal party won't use it to guard the fortress, even if the crossbow's power is strong, it attacks just a point, and has little effect on the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, but the 'Protector Heavy Wheel Crossbow's' range of attack isn't a point, but a large area.

"Prepare."

A Dwarf who was almost wrapped into an iron barrel stood on a high place, holding a small red flag.

As the dwarven flag bearer raised the small flag, the imperial army was already at the foot of the fortress, and the soldiers carrying bamboo baskets rushed out, unclipping the baskets behind them on their way to charge, trying to dump the stones inside the baskets underneath the walls, and as long as they accomplished this 'simple' task, they would be able to retreat back to the rear of the army. freeweb novel.com

Unfortunately, they didn't have that chance at all.

"Charge!"

One soldier rushed forward.

"Send!"

On the fortress, the Dwarven flag soldiers swung down their raised pieces, and the Dwarves behind the three hundred 'Protector Heavy Wheel Crossbows' pulled the triggers with force.

Crash, crash, crash ...

The crossbow string made a muffled sound, this was not the crossbow string breaking, but the force of the crossbow string was so strong that it quickly rubbed the air to make a sound.

A three-meter long crossbow arrow was shot out, these crossbow arrows were not pointed but oval arrows, just like a large match, the crossbow interrupted with several rows of reversed air holes, once the crossbow's speed reached some kind of limit, this kind of killing weapon would show its hideous side.

The entire body of the crossbow arrow is in the shape of a spiral, so after the crossbow is fired, it begins to rotate at high speed.

Ding~

A large crossbow arrow stretched out a circle of ''feathers'' in mid-air, which was not a feather, but a three-meter-long strip of tiny double-edged blades.

The crossbow arrows were already spinning at high speed, and after the double-edged blades unfolded, one crossbow arrow became a high-speed spinning arrow, which was not the same as the Mountain and Sea Sutra.

A Different Mountain and Sea Scripture Without Window

spinning reamer.

Buzz~

An ear-piercing whistling sound came from the hundreds of high-speed spinning crossbow reamers attacking the imperial soldiers under the fortress.

The crossbow reamers flew into the crowd and began to cut the human body, the armor could not protect this thing, blood and flesh splattered, more than a dozen soldiers were instantly chopped into mush, and that's not all, because the tip of the crossbow reamer is round, it will continue to strangle the enemy when it lands, and if the angle is just right, this thing is like a gyroscope.

Mud splash, limbs flying, tribal army round of shooting, under the fortress appeared a large body.

"Hahaha."

"These bastards."

"Come again."

While those dwarves on the fortress vocalized and laughed, the second round of flurry was ready.

Below the fortress, Legionary Carlos' face was cold, and beside him was a chopped up crossbow reamer.

"Continue."

Carlos roared, and upon hearing the voice of their own Legion Commander, the soldiers carrying bamboo baskets roared and rushed forward, their Legion Commander was watching them, the man they worshipped.

Crash, Crash, Crash ...

The second round of flanking fire on the fortress began, although the imperial soldiers were heavily killed and wounded, but under the leadership of the legion chief Carlos, a group of soldiers rushed forward defiantly.

In less than two minutes, the stones under the fortress had been piled up a meter high, just the stones of course didn't have this effect, if you add the broken corpses it's a different story.

While the dwarves on the fortress were busy filling the bullets, the elf archery team at the back of the imperial army had already prepared for a long time.

Whoosh~

Dense rain of arrows into a parabola to the top of the fortress, see these arrows, the dwarves on the fortress did not care about, the role of the 'city protection heavy wheel crossbow' was initially invented, in fact, is not defending the city, but in order to deal with the elves' rain of arrows, but it's just that this thing is difficult to carry, to deal with the action of the elves lightweight archery team is not effective.

But now it was a siege, the 'Castle Protector Heavy Wheel Crossbow' showed its ability to deal with the rain of arrows.

Before the dense rain of arrows fell in the air, a crossbow reamer had already met the front.

Ka bar, ka bar...

The rain of arrows was twisted into a sky of wood chips, not only that, those crossbow reamers flew towards the center position of the imperial army.

The crossbow reamers landed on the ground, a large number of soldiers didn't even have time to send out screams before they were strangled into flesh, the situation of the tribal army was great.

Was that the truth? Not really, once the pile of rocks + corpses under the fortress accumulated to a certain height, the Imperial army would rush up to the fortress and start the white-knuckle battle.

Strangely enough, no large-scale magic appeared in the armies of both sides, what fire and rain spells, soaring wind spells even more just did not appear.

It's not that there are no mages in the camps of both sides, but the casters in this world are not strong in group combat, but one-on-one, the casters' ability is not weak, as for large-scale magic, that thing hasn't appeared since the establishment of the empire, the specific reason is unknown. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Today's spell casters are rarely involved in wars, they prefer to explore magic, that is, they don't get involved in the struggle for power, as for the second-ranked contractor mages, the possibility of them mastering large-scale magic is even smaller, large-scale lethal magic is not something that can be obtained at this stage, and the mana value consumed by large-scale magic is also astronomical, the second-ranked contractor mages are at most flinging small and medium-scaled spells at the fortresses.

The backbone of this world is the army, the physical quality of each soldier is not weak, under the pressure of a large army, even the strongest spell casters can only roll up their bunks and flee.

At this time, Su Xiao was in the middle of the imperial army, on a small hill with high terrain, and he was holding the Spider Empress.

Although the appearance of the Spider Empress in this world was somewhat incongruous, but under the disguise of the Reincarnation Paradise, the other soldiers only thought that it was Su Xiao's special ability, similar to alchemy or magic etc.

Of course, Su Xiao wasn't the only one using a sniper rifle on the battlefield, and in this situation-specific battle, the influence of the contractors on the war began to unfold.
