Chapter 632: Anticlimactic

For them, there are plenty of supplies to spare.

UndersupplyThere is a tactic of undersupplying.

At the beginning, when the city walls were in disrepair, and the personnel and equipment were insufficient, they were still able to withstand the invasion from the Odin orcs.

Now that the situation has improved considerably, it is impossible for them to lose the courage to fight bloodily.

The Broken Blood Castle is famous all over the world, and it is not for nothing that the Broken Pulse Defense Line can stand for so many years.

Sean sighed inwardly.

The current Broken Pulse Defense Line should be the most powerful moment ever.

Last year's trade dividends raised their equipment by several grades.

And this kind of large-scale economic development has just begun, and the mentality of the soldiers who have broken the pulse and defense line has not been corroded by money and interests, and they still retain their original bravery.

In the future, the equipment of the Broken Pulse Defense Line may become better and better, and the same bravery will be eroded.

This is due to the corrosiveness of capital.

This in itself is a matter of gain and loss.

Of course, this matter is not completely irresistible.

That's faith.

The faith here does not refer to the faith of the Holy See of the Aether.

Rather, it is a general reference.

The badge being implemented by the Eternal Night Commander.

The Broken Pulse Defense's Guardian of the Byronic Alliance's Faith.

All belong to a type of faith.

When faith is carried out in the hearts of every soldier, when all are united, it is the most powerful moment of this army.

Seeing that the morale was available, Grand Duke Cedric laughed and said: "With the bravery of the generals, even if Ulaanbari is strong, it will not be the next step in the south, okay, let's assign a specific combat mission now, General Esmond." ”

"In. General Esmond answered.

"You are in charge of the western front of the Blood Fortress, and Hari Chagai, who is in charge of commanding the attack on this line on the side of the Odin orcs, is the number one minion of Ulaanbari, and he will inevitably carry out the other party's orders to the end and spare no effort to attack, so your tactics are mainly on the defensive, and do not give the other party any opportunity to take advantage of. "Grand Duke Cedric fully combined the information that Severed Blood Fortress had with the information that Sean had stolen.

The rangers of the Broken Blood Fort are not in vain, the two sides have been fighting for so many years, and they have a lot of information about the high-level of the Theodin Empire.

"Yes. General Esmond commanded.

"General Pedro, you are in charge of the eastern front of the Blood Castle, Hai Ridong who is in charge of this direction, is your old opponent, this old fox, there are too many calculations in his heart, and he will not be loyal to Ulaanba Ri, this time he will definitely be as before, bluff and deal with things, if he can seize the opportunity, give him two punches, let him be cowardly, but be careful of Ozhle and Ke, this guy may swim in this line. Archduke Cedric ordered again.

General Pedro patted his chest and grinned: "Don't worry, Hai Ridong is an old man's defeated general, he hasn't been able to turn over the waves before, and he can't do it this time?" As for the brute bear of Ozhile and Ke, he is more than brave, but he is not wise enough, and he can't play too many tricks, if the two are combined and cooperate seamlessly, he still needs to be careful, but the two tribes have a long-standing grudge, and it would be good if they met and didn't go to war, let alone cooperate. ”

"Don't rely too much on their enmity, these people are profit-seeking, and they may abandon their past prejudices for the greater good. Archduke Cedric admonished, "Be careful, this kind of thing does not allow any luck." ”

"Understood. General Pedro nodded.

"Let's prepare for battle! Archduke Cedric waved his hand and said confidently.

"Broken pulses will win. All the Broken Vein Blood Castle generals stood up and said.

After the generals retreated, the Shadow Soul Devouring Leopard came out of the shadows and said with a smile: "Seeing the morale of the soldiers so high, I am relieved, no matter how big the momentum of Ulan Bari is rolled, it is difficult to make contributions here, it is estimated that it will not take three or four months, and they will have to roll back in disgrace." ”

Archduke Cedric did not hide his true emotions in front of Sean, and a hint of gloom flashed on his face and said: " For this war, I'm not worried, what I'm worried about is that the next comeback of the Western Odin Empire, all the attacks they are launching now are like a kind of testing and adaptation, testing the power of black powder, and adapting to it, and when they come to attack next time, not only will they be prepared for this, but it is very likely that they will also come with a large number of black powder kegs, and the defense line we relied on in the past will be greatly weakened. ”

Clearly, Archduke Cedric knew very well how bad a man's character would be.

The Theodin Empire didn't know about black powder before, but once it knew, it would definitely try to get it.

This thing is too powerful to destroy the city walls.

Without the support of the city wall, the numerical superiority of the Odin orcs will undoubtedly be revealed.

"This is something that will inevitably happen after technological advancement. Sean was not worried about this at all, "When they come next time, we will not only have new tactics, but also launch new weapons, as long as we can ensure that we run ahead of them, such a large-scale knife army, even for the Theodin Empire, is a big burden, within two or three years, they don't want to move." ”

"It's good that Earl Sean has confidence in this aspect, and in the future, he will have to rely on it more. Archduke Cedric smiled meaningfully.

Obviously, the complaint just now did not come out of thin air, but contained a deep meaning in it.

Now he was more sure that the Eternal Night Leader had weapons more advanced than black powder.

It seems that little Sophie sees a longer term than herself, and is tied to the leader of the Eternal Night, and this move is considered to be the right move.

Archduke Cedric is now his father-in-law and son-in-law, and he loves Sean more and more, and even the state of the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard feels a little cute.

......

May 8.

The moment when the sun has just risen.

The army of the Western Odin Empire launched a full-line attack on the Broken Pulse Defense Line on time.

The overwhelming Odin orcs were like ants, screaming, and rushed towards the tall walls of the Broken Vein Defense Line.

Whether it's facing the black powder keg of the mountain and cracking the rock, or the rain of arrows that cover the sky.

They all seemed to be fearless, and there was a world of difference from the previous kind of explosion and collapse.

Not only because of the previous series of temptations, these Odin orcs already have some understanding of black powder, and their fear is not as heavy as before.

Also because of this siege, there were not only herdsmen cannon fodder who were driven away, but also a large number of elites, who played an effective role in leading and supervising in the middle, and did not give those herdsmen cannon fodder a chance to be cowardly at all.

If you go forward, get blown up by a black powder keg, or be hit by a sharp arrow, you still need to see the odds.

If you cower and are cut down by the murderous soldiers around you, it is definitely a matter of minutes.

In addition, the Odin orcs still fully absorbed the previous combat experience.

It is no longer lined up in a dense formation, unless it is to carry rudimentary siege equipment, the interval is more than five meters, and there is already a childish shape of a skirmisher formation.

The ears are even more blocked like those war horses.

The benefits of this are obvious.

The terrifying movement of the explosion of the black powder keg could not be heard, and the deterrent effect on them was naturally minimized.

As for the disadvantages.

Once the Odin orcs launched an offensive, they themselves did not have too complicated commands, and this time they were only allowed to move forward, not backward.

The impact is near-nil.

Before the charge, their leather robes had just been soaked in ice water, although it would greatly increase the weight of the leather robes, but it had a miraculous effect on the secondary splash damage after the explosion of the black powder keg, and it was rare for humanoid torches to appear again.

Even if it's really ignited, it's too late to pick it up and throw it away.

Although the Odin orcs have terms such as barbaric, backward, and rude on their heads, they do not mean stupid.

There are many smart people in it, and when their lives are threatened, they quickly come up with ways to deal with them, and others see it effective, so they naturally learn from it.

The use of black powder by the Broken Pulse Defense Line is a little too vulgar after all, and it is on the most simplistic side.

There are two main types of projectiles: long-range projectile by trebuchet and smashing down from the top of the city.

Not to mention the current Eternal Night Commander, even the original Eternal Night Commander is not as good as the horse.

It's not just that they started too short to get into it.

It is also because of the quality of personnel, the two are not comparable.

In this kind of offensive and defensive warfare, it is difficult to have a strategy and tactics to take advantage of, especially when both sides are prepared.

Both sides are not only desperate, but also fighting for courage and will.

Whoever has more courage and who can persevere to the end will be the final winner.

In the beginning, the Broken Pulse Defense with a black powder keg and a large number of arrows was more advantageous.

The courage of the Orcs of Odin could not make up for the disadvantage in equipment.

Not to mention rushing to the top of the city, there is no chance to even rush under the corner.

But as the war continued.

The tide of battle is slowly turning.

Odin's orcs were too strong this time.

Even under the indiscriminate bombardment of hundreds of thousands of black powder kegs and millions of sharp arrows.

The number of Odin orcs does not seem to have decreased significantly, and each attack is densely packed and in a saturated posture.

Although the arsenal behind the Broken Pulse Defense Line is in full production, transporting black powder kegs in a steady stream, compared to the long battle line, the thousands of black powder kegs thrown out every day are a drop in the bucket.

In the end, it was inevitable to fall into the bloody battle of the previous one.

Stone, slash with a weapon, and even use your teeth if necessary.

When on the verge of life and death, humans are not much different from beasts.

The first to fall into a bitter battle was neither the Broken Blood Fortress nor those small fortresses and small fortresses, but something like the Tiger Mouth Fort.

This kind of fortress fortress, compared to those small fortresses and fortresses, usually has less obvious geographical advantages, which is convenient for certain Odin orc siege troops to deploy.

And in terms of material reserves, it is not as good as the Broken Blood Castle.

The attack is fierce and the consumption is large, so it is naturally easier to drain.

Once the black powder keg and arrows are depleted, it will be attacked by the Orcs of Odin.

It's hard to change the quantity, after all, this is limited by the terrain.

What has changed is the qualitative, from the original herdsmen cannon fodder mixed with elite soldiers, all of them have become elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles.

These men are extremely experienced in combat, and they are usually taller and stronger than the Byronic people, plus they are born with sorcery.

Once they have climbed to the top of the city, it is difficult to drive them down from the top of the city, let alone kill them, without three or two soldiers joining forces.

As for the knights and the great knights, in this kind of super-large battle, the role they play is seriously weakened, and their number is their biggest disadvantage.

The whole war was dominated by recruits and knights.

Soon, some forts changed hands several times.

As soon as the Orcs took it down with their front foot, the Broken Blood Citadel would organize reserves and elites to recapture it.

However, even if these castles and fortresses were recaptured, most of them were badly damaged.

The first thing the Orcs did when they captured the fortress was not to repair it, but to destroy and dismantle it.

Once recaptured by the other party, it will be convenient for them to attack the city next time.

Therefore, if a castle falls once, its defensive difficulty will be greatly increased, and it will change hands repeatedly.

Sometimes, out of overall consideration, the commander of this section of the defense line even had to order to abandon the defense and transfer the troops torn down to the surrounding fortresses to strengthen the defense.

Even if the Orcs have mastered several fortresses, they are usually not particularly significant.

Once these forts are abandoned, it means that the Broken Pulse Line will have a cavalry on standby nearby.

If the Orcs of Odin poured in from this direction, they would be bitten by them, and then cavalry would come from all sides and eat them alive.

Without taking a large number of Broken Pulse Defense Lines or Broken Blood Fortresses, it makes no sense to just eat a few passes.

The small influx is just adding capital to the brilliant record of the Broken Blood Rider.

Although the offensive was unprecedentedly brutal, the Theodin Empire did not create an unexpected ending.

After more than two months of continuous attack on the broken pulse defense line, he had to fully retreat north and embarked on the road back to the Western Odin Empire.

They were defeated not so much by the Strachs, but by themselves.

The consumption of millions of Odin orcs and tens of millions of cattle is really staggering.

In less than three months, the grass that had just grown this year in the hundreds of kilometers of grassland outside the Broken Pulse Defense Line was eaten up, and in many places it was even eaten by extremely hungry cattle, and even the grass roots were arched out and gnawed away.

It is estimated that in the next few years, the vegetation here will be much sparser than normal.

If it continues to fight, it is not a question of whether it can capture the broken pulse defense line, and if you are not careful, there will be a big collapse.

Although Ulaanbari was angry, he was not angry enough to gamble everything for revenge.

When the Theodin Empire withdrew, it was not scattered in a hurry.

Instead, the eastern and western fronts continued to suppress, and the Chinese army, as the main force, slowly retreated.

If the Stray family sends the Broken Blood Cavalry to pursue, they will fall directly into the pocket formation of the Theodin Empire.

The two wings cooperated with the main force, and the three sides flanked the attack, directly eating the broken blood horse that the Strey family relied on.

Once this world-famous cavalry is eaten, this southern expedition of the Western Odin Empire will turn defeat into victory and achieve an unprecedented brilliant victory.

Without the cooperation of the cavalry, the defense of the Broken Pulse Defense Line will be weakened by three percent, and the next big attack of the Western Odin Empire will be.

Even if the Broken Pulse Defense Line has a large amount of black powder, it is estimated that it will be difficult to resist.

Defending doesn't mean you don't need mobile forces.

Throughout the defensive battle, the Broken Blood Rider played an indispensable role in it.

They are not only on the way to attack, but also on the road to fighting fires.

Wherever there is a big problem in the fortress, they will be there.

Most of the fortresses that fell were recoiled by them.

Even the brave Orcs of Odin could not withstand the recoil of a swarm with hundreds of broken blood riders.

After the main force of the Western Odin Empire retreated, the troops on both wings retreated in turn.

The Broken Blood Rider still didn't dare to attack rashly.
