255 Longbowmen
Those werewolf cavalry are more chicken thieves, they are smaller than centaurs, and those giant wolves are also very flexible, constantly jumping and flashing while running, which greatly increases the difficulty of Xiao Feng chasing them, and also allows them to escape a lot.
In the case of unsatisfactory killing effect, Xiao Feng had to focus his attention on those heavy armored infantry who were running backwards slowly, these bull-headed and pig-headed people were still the best targets, and they were swept down by him in an instant.
But just as he was about to clear all the orcs on the battlefield in front of him, a strong sense of crisis suddenly came to his heart, and he almost instinctively bowed his head downward, and then he heard the sound of a bell, a crisp metal crash.
Squatting on the ground and looking up, he saw that the steel baffle in front of his M1930 heavy machine gun was directly pierced by a spear, half of the spear body drilled through the steel plate, if he hadn't just dodged in time, this spear would have pierced through his face.
Before he could figure it out, a strong sense of crisis came to his mind, and Xiao Feng quickly rolled on the ground a few times almost instinctively, and then saw several black shadows falling from the sky and smashing the shooting position he had just stood on.
In front of this firing position, Kyle deliberately added a thick stone breastwork, and also used heavy wooden planks to lay several layers on the top of his head, but after those black shadows fell, he immediately destroyed this firing position.
Xiao Feng fixed his eyes and saw that those black shadows turned out to be spears falling from the sky, but these spears looked very strange.
The iron three-edged spear head still carries a few rays of cold light, and the spear body is made of an unknown wooden pole, which can be one meter five to two meters long, just looking at the length and the spear used by humans is indeed very similar, judging from the shaking of the spear body after the spear lands, this spear body can be said to be full of tenacity.
But the tail of this spear still has arrow feathers, and when he saw those arrow feathers, Xiao Feng suddenly understood, what kind of spear is this, it is clearly a giant bow and arrow!
With such a long arrow, what kind of monster can use it? It can be launched so far and maintain such a strong force, as soon as he thinks of this, Xiao Feng's face changed suddenly, it seems that he really underestimated these half-orcs, there should be a new type of half-orcs appearing!
Seeing such a scene happening in Xiao Feng's shooting position, Kyle and Bloom were all shocked, Xiao Feng was their backbone, and there must be no accidents, but when they saw Xiao Feng get up from the ground and walk quickly to the city, they breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Master Mage is fine.
At this time, Xiao Feng was hiding behind the female wall, holding a telescope and looking carefully at the battlefield in the distance, at this time, those scattered orcs had been reorganized.
About eight or nine hundred meters away from the city wall, the orcs began to regroup, several catapults had been burned before, but now the orcs had pushed up a dozen more, although they all looked like new catapults that were shoddy, but as long as they could be launched, it didn't matter.
At the same time, the half-orcs also dug a trench there, and many troops who were ready to set off were hiding in the trench, it seems that these half-orcs also found that Xiao Feng could summon a "lightning" strike, so they also racked their brains to come up with a way to deal with it, and they were able to think of digging trenches, Xiao Feng felt that he really underestimated these half-orcs, and indeed digging trenches was the most effective way to deal with machine guns.
And those orcs are still frantically organizing people to dig ditches, and the trenches in front of them are constantly extending forward, and it seems that they have also figured out the most effective way to get close to the city wall without exposing their bodies, that is, trench warfare.
The previous slaves were all dead and fled, so this time the trenches were dug and the orcs went into battle in person, and those bull-headed and pig-headed people were tall and strong, as the so-called body strength was not lost, so the speed of digging the trench was very fast.
The half-orc trench approached the direction of the city wall at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and when they saw the half-orc's actual transformation of their tactics, the faces of the people on the city wall turned ugly for a while.
Hiding in a trench undoubtedly reduced the area of the enemy, which allowed the orc soldiers to get the best protection, and also made the defensive firepower on the city wall greatly reduced, and could not cause effective damage to the orcs.
But Xiao Feng didn't care about this, he just cared about who shot those giant arrows before, this was the first time that a half-orc had posed such a big threat to him, so he was very concerned about who the opponent was.
Soon near the trench, he saw the clues, only to see a giant python man with a height of more than two meters and a half, with a waist thicker than a bucket, climbed up from the trench, and then erected a Y-shaped tree branch near the trench, and then scraped a rubber band made of unknown things on the branch, and finally put a piece of stone into the net pocket behind the rubber band, and then pulled the rubber band with a retractor, this weapon is like an enlarged slingshot, and look at the length of the rubber band is stretched, you can feel the amazing power of those python people.
The hook was released, and then the rubber band popped forward, and the stones in the net pocket whistled and flew towards the city wall, but because of the long distance, it was not easy to aim, and the stones did not cause much damage to the human soldiers at the head of the city, but they still smashed the iron wall with a clang.
may also have seen the poor effect of the first round of test firing, these python people only shot one round and stopped, and soon hundreds of python people about three meters high crawled out of the trench, this time each of them held a longbow of more than two meters in their hands, and someone in the ditch kept handing them javelin-like giant arrows.
These python people took the giant arrow, skillfully opened the bow and arrows, aiming at the direction of the city wall, because of the special body structure, so that these python people have a flexibility that is difficult for humans to achieve, so don't look at their waist thicker than the bucket, but when they open the bow, the body can be bent to an exaggerated point, so they can all open a full bow, a long bow with a length of more than two meters, and a row of full bows is very scary, just looking at their momentum, it makes people feel numb in the scalp.
'Boom, boom... Whoa, whoa... ’
When these python people let go of the bowstring, although they were far away, Xiao Feng could still hear the sound of the bowstring bouncing back, and the roar of feathered arrows flying through the air.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, cover, covert... ”
In addition to Xiao Feng, Kyle and Bloom of course also saw the black and oppressive giant arrows flying in the sky, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers on the city wall to hide.
After Xiao Feng built the steel city wall, he asked Charlesman and Kyle to start the later reconstruction work at the same time, and they built a lot of towers on the city wall as a hiding hole for soldiers to hide from bows and arrows, which played a role at this time.
As soon as the human soldiers hid in the cave, the giant feathered arrows like javelins pierced the city wall from the air, and Charlesman also laid wooden planks on the top of the city wall, and these javelins actually pierced the wooden planks directly, and nailed them into the iron sheet below, and even many arrows pierced the top of the container with a big hole.
And those python people did not stop, but began to shoot round after round of non-stop, their shooting was very rhythmic, maybe because they were not dealing with dense charges, so they did not require a rate of fire, but they were still able to ensure a rate of fire of six rounds per minute.
Xiao Feng didn't make a move, he was carefully observing these python people, he had to understand their habits before he could do it, after all, this was the most threatening and dangerous kind of orc he had encountered so far.
In his world, the famous British longbowmen in the Middle Ages had a farthest projection distance of only 400 yards, that is, about 365 meters, which was already the ultimate strike range that humans could achieve in the era of cold weapons.
And those longbowmen who have been trained for a long time, the most skilled is only to be able to shoot six rounds a minute, after six rounds, the longbowmen are basically exhausted, can no longer fight, and long-term training, will also cause great damage to their bodies, many people do not live to be forty years old, long-term longbow projection training, so that their spines are deformed, often after a few years in the army, they will be scrapped, so longbowmen in the Middle Ages is a very expensive type of troops.
But these giant python longbowmen in front of him are completely beyond his cognitive scope, and they are really a bit eye-opening.
Because of the advantage of physical talent, their farthest projectile distance can actually reach eight or nine hundred meters, and the long arrows fired are also very powerful, and these guys, although they also have a shooting frequency of six rounds per minute, Xiao Feng can see that this is far from their limit, if they want, they can even double the rate of fire.
The most terrifying thing is their endurance, you must know that the human longbowmen are basically exhausted after shooting six rounds, but these guys actually shoot easily for three minutes, and have maintained a rate of six rounds per minute, this is the most powerful long-range strike force he has ever seen in the era of cold weapons, and the continuous shooting does not seem to cause any damage to their bodies.
Eventually, after three minutes of shooting, the pythons stopped firing, and the walls were almost full of javelin-like arrows, and even two trebuchets were destroyed by them.
At the moment when the python people were frantically shooting arrows beyond the city wall and suppressing the firepower, those bull-headed and pig-headed people were also desperately digging trenches, and in just a few minutes, they had dug the trenches three hundred meters away from the city walls...
