Chapter 352:
Chapter 346 – Helpful Straw
At this time the musketeers on the city wall also started their hunt, compared to the loud artillery barrage, the sound of the musket is not as loud but the hit rate is higher.
However, the barbarian’s preparations were not in vain, the blazing projectile’s power did drop a lot in the face of thick fur, and could only get stuck in the sturdy muscles of the barbarian warriors.
Not the power of the musket is weak, but three or five layers of fur iterated together is too thick, coupled with the brute’s tenacious vitality, solid sinews, as long as it is not hurt to the internal organs, within a short period of time does not affect the fight, so braved the fire, rushed hard to within a hundred meters.
Barbarian warriors suddenly spirit, holding tightly in the hands of the spear, skilled running throw, froze in the hands of the two-meter-long egg-thick spear thrown to dozens of meters away from the city wall, hit rate is not low.
This is all years of hunting practiced, every mistake may be hungry, not allowed to even not.
Although it is sharpened fire baked hardened wooden spear, but in the barbarian warrior exaggerated strength, still has the power to pierce the steel breastplate, even if not pierced, strong impact will also break one or two ribs of the musketeer, losing combat power on the spot, after all, in the case of broken ribs and then withstand the recoil of the musket, it may be dead from internal bleeding.
Now Owen some regret to give the musketeers equipped with this kind of light as paper chest armor, although lightweight, the defense against arrows is also good, but too thin, facing the powerful attack defense is very limited.
“Musketeers continue to shoot, longswordsmen lancers come forward ready to engage!” Seeing this, Howard knew that the chances of stopping the barbarian warriors from ascending the city wall were slim, so he immediately made adjustments.
Hogg took a deep breath and nodded to his father before leading his soldiers to the top.
Facing Hogg who stepped onto the battlefield, it was impossible for Howard to say that he wasn’t worried, but this was a war now, not to mention seeing his child onto the battlefield, even if he died in front of him, he had to wait for the end of the war before he had the time to grieve, what’s more, as long as he commanded properly, there wouldn’t be too many barbarian warriors who rushed through the artillery barricade.
Unfortunately, Howard still underestimated these barbarian warriors, they are rapidly adapting to the battlefield, not in the blind pursuit of speed, learned to raise their shields, learned to spread out, learned to dodge, learned to counterattack, so even if within a hundred meters of the musketeers hit rate is higher, even if the three-pounders like the lift gun began to fire pieces of loose bullets, barbarian warriors are hard to rely on the strength of the physique and the determination of the will to rush to the city walls, and by virtue of the crude hooks and ladders climbed up to the city walls, the barbarians are not the only ones in the city. The barbarian warriors rushed to the bottom of the wall with their strong physique and determination, and climbed up the wall with the simple hooks and ladders.
It is not that the defenders did not try hard, but after the distance was narrowed down to 20-30 meters, the axe throwing of the barbarian warriors, no matter the killing power or the hitting rate is high and scary.
Five or six pounds of stone axe, throwing out of the speed of fast invisible, the power is to reach the helmeted musketeer can burst the degree of sparks with the brain directly scattered kind of flowers.
Smashed in the chest, even the chest armor with ribs and sunken in, the back can be raised a piece, people can be brought down by the impact of the wall, killing power terrible, a few rounds of throwing to clear a section of the wall of the musketeers, but they also met their opponents.
Long swordsmen belong to a soldier type that is quite balanced between offense and defense, with strong applicability, even if the proportion of the firearms army is gradually expanding, they still didn’t reduce their number, but instead increased it to five hundred, together with the five hundred lance soldiers to support them at the back, they started a fierce fight with the barbarian fighters who ascended the city wall.
Almost at the moment when the barbarian warriors ascended the city wall, dozens of ancestor warriors also ended their prayers, picked up the weapons left behind by their ancestors, and ran wildly towards the north city at a very fast speed, they would serve as the fatal blow to open the door of victory for the tribe.
Every ancestor warrior is transcendent, their courage and quality are recognized by their ancestors, able to use the power of their ancestors and explode with incredible combat power, even the ancestor warriors who are just initiated possess the strength of intermediate knights, and the best of them even possess advanced or even master level strength, if not for the crippled inheritance, there may not be no legendary level ancestor warriors appearing.
Owen actually noticed the existence of these ancestor warriors a long time ago, but he didn’t expect the strength of these ancestor warriors to be so strong, although not long lasting enough, the strength of the outbreak is still enough to tear apart the defensive line of the city wall, allowing a large number of barbarian warriors to rush into the city.
Although the northern city would not fall by then, huge casualties were inevitable. Good thing he had enough cards, in addition to recalling his men who had honed their skills in the illusionary realm early on, he also placed Char, Teutonic warriors, and Templars under Howard.
“Ms. Char, these special barbarian warriors are in your hands.” Although as the highest military commander of the territory, Howard never underestimated the other party, even if Char had always referred to herself as a maid, so although it was an order, he said it politely.
The armor-clad and sharp-armed Char nodded, leaving the Templars behind and leading the Teutonic warriors up the city wall.
At this time the battle on the city wall has entered the white heat, musketeers and artillery calmly shooting, while the longsword soldiers and lancers in the use of flesh and blood as a wall to block the barbarian warriors, the two sides killed the blood flow of deaths and injuries, but did not retreat a step.
Char swung her halberd and killed from the east to the west of the city, while the Teutonic warriors behind her were no less, with perfect coordination, pure martial arts skills and excellent equipment, they froze and killed the barbarian warriors who wanted to mount the city wall so that they could not risk their heads until the arrival of the ancestor warriors.
The physical advantage of the barbarians was too obvious, after obtaining the Ancestor’s power, they were able to beat knights below the senior level with their attributes alone, but the problem was that this time they encountered the open-armed Char and the Teutonic Warriors.
Char didn’t need to say much, her own talent was extraordinary, plus Owen’s many enhancements, Eastern ancient martial arts plus Western fighting qi, iterating on each other, it could be said that below the demigods were not enough for her to cut.
The Teutonic warriors are not the original version, all have been strengthened by the T-virus, and are considered to be the primary model of extreme warriors, and with the excellent equipment, it’s not a big deal to cut down those ancestor warriors who are still bare-chested.
Finished, the Great Shaman who saw this scene now only had these two words in his mind.
Compared to the other shamans who were still cheering for the tribal warriors, the old and sophisticated Great Shaman had already seen the end, a not so wonderful end.
“No, absolutely not, must not let the tribe be destroyed in their own hands, the heritage of dozens of tribes ah!” The great shaman whispered to himself.
The first thing the great shaman thought of was to fight for his life, he didn’t care about his own life, if he burned his own soul and the rest of his life span, it would be enough to allow one or two ancestral warriors to truly inherit the power of their ancestors and become legends.
But after looking up at Char, who was chopping up the Ancestor Warriors like melons and vegetables, the Great Shaman immediately rejected this idea.
That woman with the legendary barbarian physique was by no means an ordinary legend, one or two temporarily elevated legendary ancestor warriors would not necessarily be able to beat them, not to mention those steel monsters like warriors, each of which possessed strength that surpassed that of the ancestor warriors.
Unless all the shamans all sacrificed themselves, there was a possibility of victory, but losing all the shamans, the tribe could not possibly exist.
At this time, the great shaman looked up to the direction of the bison tribe, pondering, perhaps when the idea of unintentional, became the tribe’s last straw.
