Although the seesaw battle on the outer city wall reached an impasse, the Hiran soldiers under the city wall still took the lead.

Some people were knocked down by rolling stones and others were concentrated by boiling water. The Helan soldiers behind were still fearless, stepping on their companions' bodies and shouting to charge forward.

It is impossible to break through such an iron wall as Avalon fortress only by using a ladder - Dominic knows this.

Therefore, in order to break through Avalon fortress, Dominic brought all siege equipment invented by mankind and used all siege tactics invented by mankind.

After the infantry began to charge, Dominic ordered dozens of high mounds to be built outside the outer wall of Avalon fortress.

Build these mounds higher than the outer city wall of Avalon fortress, build shelters on them, and then let the crossbow men hide in the shelter above the mound and shoot down at the outer city wall of Avalon fortress.

In this way, the bow and crossbow men of their Hiram army will be condescending, the outer city wall of Avalon fortress will lose its shelter function, and the soldiers of the Michael Knights above the outer city wall of Avalon will be completely exposed to the bows and arrows of their Hiram bow and crossbow men.

Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time to build these dozens of mounds higher than Avalon's wall outside the Great Wall. Therefore, they have not been built so far.

In addition to building mounds, Dominica also ordered the excavation of tunnels.

But like mounds, tunnels can't be dug in a moment.

In addition to ladder, catapult and siege crossbow, other siege instruments also appeared one after another.

The siege towers with tall towers and wheels under them were pushed to the outer wall of Avalon fortress.

The soldiers in the war zones of Avalon fortress naturally found the existence of siege towers.

Compared with those ladders, mounds, tunnels and catapults, this siege tower is the most threatening existence.

Because the opponent is Avalon fortress, the siege towers transported to participate in the "hammer battle" are specially made.

Compared with the general siege tower, the siege tower transported to participate in the "hammer battle" is more huge.

Because it is more huge, when the siege tower is close to the city wall and set up the city wall, it can transport more soldiers to the city wall in one breath.

There is no doubt that the transport efficiency of soldiers in these siege towers is to crush the ladder.

Raymond and Samuel, who were in charge of different war zones of the city wall, naturally knew the threat of these siege towers, so they ordered the bowmen above the inner city wall to shoot at the soldiers pulling the siege tower below.

However, because the soldiers who were pulling the siege tower were also protected by the shield soldiers, most of the arrows were blocked by the shield soldiers' shields.

The shooting of the crossbow men on the inner city wall can only slightly delay the progress of the siege tower.

Looking at the siege towers that are constantly approaching the outer wall, Su Cheng, who is standing on the inner wall and taking charge of the overall situation, did not appear in the slightest panic.

Su Cheng was not surprised by the emergence of this special siege tower.

After all, if you want to attack the fortress of Avalon, but you don't even prepare to attack the tower, only a fool can do such a thing.

Su Cheng waved the flag and first ordered the crossbow men on the inner city wall to change into rockets for a wave of exploratory shooting.

The archers who changed into rockets fired at the siege tower approaching the outer wall.

Locust like rockets hit siege towers, but they had little effect.

"Sure enough..." Su Cheng whispered to himself, "the body of the siege tower has been soaked in advance, and the rocket can't play any role at all."

Su Cheng had predicted in advance that the body of the siege tower was soaked in water.

In order to deal with the siege tower of the Hiram army, Avalon fortress has always been equipped with an important strategic material.

"Willie." Su Cheng said to Willie, who had been on standby behind him, "bring the fire oil up."

"Yes!"

This important strategic material is kerosene.

After the holy Hiram Empire tore up the armistice agreement between the two countries and began to send troops south, the north border General Administration specially raised a batch of new fire oil and sent it to Avalon fortress.

Although the fire oil reserves in Avalon fortress are not inexhaustible, they are still enough for Su Cheng to squander wantonly.

Barrels of kerosene were carefully transported to the outer wall.

When some of the siege towers approached and entered the range, Raymond and others in charge of the front-line command ordered to throw the barrels of fire oil at the siege towers that had entered the attack range.

The vessels containing kerosene are made of porcelain.

Therefore, after this bucket of fire oil was thrown on the siege tower, it broke, and the fire oil contained in it broke and splashed all over the tower body of the siege tower.

"Shoot!"

Su Cheng waved the flag and ordered the bowmen and crossbows on the inner city wall to launch a wave of rockets.

Waves of fire rain soared away from the inner city wall and fell on the siege towers that had been splashed with fire oil.

Even though the tower bodies of these siege towers have been soaked with water in advance, they still start at a little when they are filled with fire oil.

After the arrow of the rocket touched the tower behind the siege tower, it ignited immediately, and the fire soon rose into the sky.

The most advanced siege towers that reached the attack range and were first filled with fire oil were soon ignited by the fire and turned into ashes in a moment.

Dominic, who was watching the battle, looked at the ashen siege towers and said in his heart:

——It really deserves to be the first fortress of the British Empire. The material reserve is rich. The use of kerosene is like no money

Just as Su Cheng expected that Dominica would send out a large number of special siege towers, Dominica also expected that the material reserves of Avalon fortress must be extremely rich, and strategic resources such as fire oil must be sufficient.

Avalon fortress reserves a large amount of fire oil, and the Hiran army also brought a large number of siege towers.

Because it was expected that the fortress of Avalon would have sufficient fire oil, Dominic specially asked for a large number of siege towers.

Dominic just wants to compete with Su Cheng.

It seems that Su Cheng ran out of kerosene.

It was he who burned out Dominic's siege tower first.

Dominic doesn't believe Su Cheng's fire oil is inexhaustible.

Therefore, even if a number of siege towers were burned to ashes, Dominic did not stop the attack.

Continue to order the siege tower to move forward.

At the same time, more siege towers were ordered.

Let's have a war with Su Cheng to see if you run out of fire oil first or if my siege tower burns out first.

The battle continued.

The two sides constantly replaced their soldiers with well rested soldiers and engaged in a seemingly endless war of attrition.

People are constantly injured, people are constantly dead, and people are constantly on top of the dead.

The whole Avalon fortress became a bloody meat grinder.
