Blocks high speed chunks of concrete

Something heavy hit the wall of the new house we were using for cover from the massed soldiers and capes in Cradle's contingent, striking above heads and sending debris down onto Chastity, Cassie, and the Harbingers. Chunks of concrete larger than a fist, one chunk even larger than that.

Something hit me again. The Wretch went down. Another chunk of concrete, this time aimed my way. Again, I lost my strength, my feet hitting ground, my entire body, strained and tortured as it was, bearing the full weight of the posts, planks, and textured cover of metal.
