Chapter 122, pale ashes piled into the road
It is a trebuchet manned by a large number of ratmen.
These trebuchets were not exquisite, but rather crude. They were just products hastily built using logs from the forest.
Not surprising, it was originally modeled after the more sophisticated trebuchets on the city wall not far away.
Shoddy imitations.
But this crude imitation can deter the powerful behemoth soaring in the sky.
Because of the Ratman's special ammunition.
The rat men, all swollen and full of flesh and blood, were pressed against the launch end of the trebuchet by the rat warriors as ammunition for the trebuchet.
Under the shouts of the rat war, the swollen rat men flying in the air and wailing were launched towards the dragon beast in the sky.
It was just easily dodged.
The swollen young ratman fell to the ground with a desperate cry, exploding into a piece of squirming, distorted flesh.
Attacking everything around him indiscriminately.
It is this kind of pollution that makes the black dragon dragon beast instinctively fear. Even if the fire on its back wants to drive it, the black dragon dragon beast is unwilling to get close to the rat war that is protected by layers of trebuchets.
If you look carefully, you can see that the end of Black Dragon Dragon's right wing is obviously missing a corner, and some granules are crawling strangely on the wound.
It was a vision caused by being contaminated with distorted flesh and blood.
It was also at the beginning of the battle that Rat Zhan gave this huge dragon beast a surprise.
At that time, these crude trebuchets had not yet been copied.
However, he used himself as bait and raised the flag high to give Black Dragon Dragon Beast and Fire a great gift.
In exchange for this great gift, Shu Zhan had a hideous scar that was ablated by acid.
The black dragon beast's right wing was affected by the distorted flesh and blood. If the fire had not cut off the distorted part in time, the rapidly spreading distorted flesh and blood would have completely engulfed the powerful dragon beast's right wing.
The dragon beast will lose the ability to fly.
It's a pity that this young dragon beast is much tougher than the dragon egg after all.
But this also left a great fear in the giant beast. At this time, it instinctively refused to get close to the swollen young rat men, even if the fire kept comforting it, it had no effect.
On the back of the giant dragon, the one-eyed fire looked at the rat war who was waving the flag.
With a cruel smile, Rat Zhan performed a throat-cutting ceremony.
This is already the fifteenth day of the Rat War siege.
The thick black smoke brought out from the blast furnace immediately attracted the eyes of the rat war who arrived with the Eastern Expeditionary Force.
Rat war comes to the door.
After discovering that the leader of the city was the damn red lizard, all tactics were thrown out the window.
The brutal siege battle was started amidst the roar.
Most of the rat warriors still had wooden spears in their hands, but the enemies they faced had begun to wear iron armor.
Even due to time constraints, the blacksmithing skills in the Wetland Kingdom have just begun.
Most of the warriors in the Wetland Kingdom can only barely put on a piece of rough armor made of two simple iron plates spliced together.
But compared to the Eastern Expeditionary Force, which was still using wooden spears, it was greatly crushed.
It's just that the battle situation is not easy. Even though the iron has been used by the Wetland Kingdom, there are more ratmen coming, and their soldiers are not even as good as the elites during the last ratman invasion.
Lizardmen and snakemen only occupy a very small part of the city's defenders. A large number of warriors are those barking kobolds and those stupid swamp murlocs.
Even the kobolds, who were fanatical followers of the dragon, saw their morale gradually collapse when faced with the endless influx of rat-men.
Even the dragon beasts hovering high in the sky can no longer boost the momentum of these kobolds.
Shu Zhan led the Eastern Expeditionary Force to besiege the city for fifteen days.
This brutal siege has lasted for fifteen days.
Even though the city was still well stocked with supplies, there was constant fighting that day.
The roar that lingers in my ears all the time, and the blood and death that catches my eyes every day.
If these days continue, except for those dumb swamp murlocs, even the lizard warriors in the city will find it difficult to survive.
In contrast, the rat people suffered almost tragic casualties during the fifteen days, driven by the brutal rat war.
The Skaven Eastern Expeditionary Force has grown from a hundred thousand Skaven when it set out to more than 20,000.
Although this is also related to the fact that there are not many real rat warriors in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and a large number of young rat men fill the army.
But in just fifteen days, a full 20,000 ratmen fell in front of the city, which was enough to give a glimpse of the intensity of this siege.
If it weren't for the soaring black dragon dragon beast in the sky under the command of Huo, he would often be able to complete the rescue of the front line with great danger.
There is simply no way the city's defenses can hold up to this day.
Moreover, Rat War simply didn’t feel sorry for the dead rat people.
In this cruel war, the powerful rats survived, but all the weak ones died.
All the ratmen were piled up in front of the city by the rat war.
If the first batch of rat men who attacked the city died, then the next batch of rat men would be pushed up, and they would either capture the city or die.
During the brutal training, the young ratmen who were recruited into the Eastern Expeditionary Force were also growing rapidly.
In a short period of time, the army has completed running-in and training.
Then they are pushed onto the battlefield to face battle or death.
On the city wall, because of the non-stop fighting, corpses piled up, and there was simply no time to deal with them.
The Wetland Kingdom warriors guarding the city would not push these corpses outside the city, which would allow the incoming ratmen to trample on these corpses as stepping stones.
It will also make the Ratmen's siege easier.
In fact, now, a slope has appeared that reaches half the height of the city wall.
The slope was made of pale ash mixed with blackened and mutilated corpses.
Because every time the corpses piled up, the kobold wizards on the walls would summon fireballs to burn them. After the flames were extinguished, the surging ratmen would trample the remaining pale ashes into roads.
Just like that, little by little, a slope appeared consisting entirely of pale ash that could no longer be ignited.
The corpses piled up under the city wall reached the level of burning.
The kobold wizard on the city wall threw a fireball with relief and ignited the corpse, forming a wall of fire surrounding the gray-black city.
At this moment, both the soldiers of the Wetland Kingdom on the city wall.
The rat people who were constantly pushed towards the city wall breathed a sigh of relief.
Forced by fire.
The attack was interrupted.
The rat people slowly faded away, and the defenders on the city wall slumped down helplessly.
Whenever the corpses piled up outside the city wall to a certain extent, the blazing flames were ignited until the flames extinguished.
During this time.
It's time for the offense and defense to lick their wounds.
