However, in the face of such monsters, no matter how shaken he felt inside, Ziaoan still conveyed a sense of calm to the soldiers.
It was this calm demeanor that supported the soldiers standing firm.
He directly locked onto the giant monster on the far left, and the three crossbows began to concentrate their fire.
At this moment, having confirmed the situation, Xiaoan decisively adopted a strategy of taking them out one by one, aiming to eliminate these giant monsters consecutively.
The four threebow crossbows on the city wall fired simultaneously.
Attacking such a massive target posed no difficulty for the soldiers controlling the crossbows for heavy crossbow bolts whistled through the air and struck true.
The powerful penetration instantly burying the sharp bronze tips deep into the flesh of the giant monster, accompanied by a deafening roar.
Bright red splashes of blood erupted from the monster's body.
This scene undoubtedly sent the soldiers on the wall into a frenzy of joy, and it also allowed Xiaoan to breathe a little easier, as it proved that their attacks could indeed inflict damage on these monsters.
As long as these attacking monsters were not invincible, he had a chance to fight this battle.
Chapter 339.
The elephant man.
The roar of the elephant man made Lee Yuia who was sitting in a bronze war chariot at the back furrow his brows.
The attack from the ordinary crossbow only caused minor flesh wounds on the elephant man, not enough to elicit such a roar.
From this alone, one could draw a simple conclusion.
The crossbows used by the defenders on the opposite side clearly had a power that exceeded that of the ordinary bronze tier players crossbows.
No wonder Dongo wanted me to take action.
This Loia really does have some skills.
As these thoughts raised through his mind, Leua s fierce wolflike mouth suddenly opened wide, revealing two rows of sharp fangs, clearly not putting this level of defense in his eyes.
Compared to this, the expression on his wolf face was truly bizarre.
At this moment, the player, namely Yuia, was not in a human form, but rather as a black wolf walking upright on two legs.
Perhaps calling him a werewolf would be more accurate.
He was currently arrogantly crossing his legs while leaning against a bronze war chariot he had presumably seized from another player, creating an utterly twisted scene, returning the focus to the battlefield.
Aside from the pain, the attack from the triple crossbow seemed to have little effect on the elephant man.
The speciallymade heavy crossbow bolts which struck the 10- m tall elephant man appeared rather small.
After enduring a few hits, the elephant man roared and continued to advance.
In a momentum seemed to have even intensified compared to before.
Faced with such a situation, Xiaopan did not hesitate.
He quickly spoke up, attempting to aim at the monster's head and initiate an attack.
The soldiers operating the triple crossbows promptly followed orders.
with such a large head.
If they couldn't hit it, that would be quite embarrassing.
After a quick reload, a team of soldiers shot out four heavy crossbow bolts once more.
However, this time, the elephant man's reaction was noticeably different.
Unlike the initial time when it completely ignored the threat of the triple crossbow and advanced without care after experiencing the pain from the heavy crossbow bolts, the elephant man clearly realized that the damage from the triple crossbow exceeded what it had encountered before and took precautions while continuing to advance.
As four heavy crossbow bolts were shot at it again, the elephant man swung its trunk and the terrifying force generated a gust of wind that directly swept the four heavy crossbow bolts away.
The four teams controlling the triple crossbows were instantly shocked.
They had never encountered such a monster before.
The intense shock caused them to slow their actions involuntarily.
At this moment, Zia's voice rang out, "Don't freeze.
Keep firing.
" The monster sweeping away the heavy crossbow bolts was not without a cost.
Its long trunk was injured with Xiao Pan as reminder.
Everyone quickly realized that the elephant man's long trunk was indeed bleeding.
It made sense that was the triple crossbow.
Although it was a partially weakened version, it was still a siege weapon from the cold weapon era used to batter city walls and gates.
The destructive power was undeniable for it to swat away four heavy crossbow bolts.
How thick-skinned could it be to emerge and scathe? Clearly, it was impossible.
This discovery allowed the four teams controlling the triple crossbows to quickly regroup and began to follow Ziaoan's orders to unleash a barrage on the monster.
Meanwhile, Ziaoan, seeing the four triple crossbows firing again, slightly shifted his attention, estimated the distance of the enemy army from the iron wall city walls and waved his hand, signaling the stonethrowing troops behind him to prepare for attack.
However, unexpectedly, the enemy took the initiative this time.
The other three elephant men, which had not been suppressed, quickly closed in.
Once they reached a certain distance, they halted and their sturdy hands reached back behind them.
When they pulled their hands back, they had already acquired a massive stone block at least 2 m in diameter.
At this moment, Ziaopan finally saw that behind these monsters.
They were actually carrying something resembling a basket.
As if anticipating what they were about to do, Ziao Pan, standing on the city wall changed color dramatically and yelled, "Shield soldiers, step forward.
Everyone prepare for defense.
As soon as Xiaopan's words fell, the elephant men outside the city made new movements.
They suddenly exerted their arms and three absolutely massive stones were hurled out.
After traveling some distance, powered by their immense strength, the three giant stones crashed down onto the walls of Iron Wall City like falling meteors.
The impact was truly astonishing.
The soldiers on the wall felt the ground tremble three times, and the previously smooth wall surface directly showed three cracked dents.
Xiaoan, who managed to stabilize himself during the three impacts, felt his face turned pale as he looked at the four gigantic monsters.
He had imagined various attack methods, but he never anticipated that these four monsters were also stonethrowers, and their destructive power was astonishing.
The stonethrowing attacks did not cease.
The elephant man that had been under fire from the four triple crossbows was clearly slower.
And by the time the other three elephant men were ready to throw their second round, it finally managed to take out its first stone while still defending against the triple crossbow attacks.
Facing the giant stone attack from the monsters, the entire city wall vibrated.
In the past, they had always relied on the range of the triple crossbows to bombard others.
They had never been bombarded themselves.
These four elephant men stonethrowers truly set a precedent for them.
For a moment, the morale, which had been stabilizing, began to waver.
Noticing the change in atmosphere, Ziaoan, although not on the verge of collapse, quickly issued a morale boosting shout to ensure everything was foolproof.
He then yelled, "Counterattack! Everyone throw! Hurry!" Under Xiao Pan's command, all stonethrowers launched two rounds of stone projectiles, striking the three elephant men stonethrowers.
However, the effect was utterly devastating.
At that moment, Ziaoan suddenly recalled what Lajia had told her before.
Lajia had said that stonethrowers were blunt weapon attackers, effective against enemies wearing armor or protective gear, but their effectiveness would greatly diminish against tough- skinned, thick-fledged enemies.
In contrast, archers were piercing attackers, unsuitable for dealing with armored or protected enemies, but best suited for those with thin or no armor.
In a certain sense, the two ranged units perfectly complimented each other, and the four monsters outside the city were undoubtedly typical examples of tough- skinned and thick-fledged enemies.
Realizing this, Ziao Pan decisively reacted, ordering the stonethrowers on the city wall to retreat and called for the archers waiting behind to quickly move forward.
There was no doubt he was about to change tactics.
Chapter 340.
Orcs attacked the city.
The transition of troop types undoubtedly played a role.
Although the archery units did not benefit from Xiaoan's specialized skills, his talent of unmoved as a mountain was indiscriminately applied to all the defending soldiers under his command.
Additionally, Logic's national defense war buff also took effect at this moment.
With the support of these dual buffs, the combat effectiveness of the archer units should not be underestimated.
After realizing the threat, the three giant stonethrowing elephant warriors decisively swung their massive trunks, clearing the incoming attacks and inadvertently slowing the entire rhythm of the attack, buying precious breathing space for the defending troops on the Iron Wall city.
Li Yuia, who saw this scene from the rear, pondered for a moment before waving his hand, ordering the targeted elephant warrior to temporarily retreat while the main force advanced to help distribute the firepower.
Originally, he planned to rely on the destructive power of the four elephant stonethrowers to withstand the attacks, forcefully smash the opposing city walls, and then let the main force push forward to capture the city in one go.
However, he did not expect Logic to have such unexpected tactics.
The original plan was no longer feasible.
The elephant race was extremely rare, reproducing slowly.
Humans had a 10-month gestation period, while elephants took 2 years just to be pregnant and only gave birth to one at a time.
After giving birth, they could not conceive again for 4 to 5 years.
In other words, these four elephant stone throwers were valuable rare troops for Leuenia.
Losing one would undoubtedly cause him unbearable pain.
As the horn from mobilizing troops sounded, a group of bull-headed infantry, stout and muscular with double horns, began pushing siege vehicles toward the gates of Iron Wall City.
Ziaoan recognized these cattle.
