Andes Longbow has been blown a bit of a god in the Byron Union in recent times.

Anyone who has actually used it knows very well that this longbow is bulky, inconvenient to carry, and relatively inaccurate, so it is definitely not an excellent choice if you want to shoot accurately or hunt.

But when a large number of longbowmen are assembled into a military formation, especially when defending the city, it does have its own uniqueness, especially when there are enough arrows, once the rain of arrows is formed, the lethality exerted is quite terrifying.

If you look down from the air, you will find that the rain of arrows in Hukou Fort not only originates from the city walls and arrow towers, but also includes the inside of the fortress, which is thrown at a large angle.

This means that it can mobilize the entire defense.

The garrison of Hukou Fort has now reached a saturated state, with more than 4,300 personnel, and under normal conditions, only 1,500 to 1,800 people go to the city wall to defend, and the rest are used as rotational reserves.

The Antis Longbow's projectile nature allows these reservists to act as makeshift longbowmen in the city, inflicting damage on siegers at close to medium range.

More than 3,000 longbowmen, what is the concept of wielding power at the same time?

Since they are not professional longbowmen, they have no problem firing three bows in ten seconds.

Tens of thousands of sharp arrows smashed densely into the already chaotic Odin orc siege team, causing more damage than the black powder keg thrown by the trebuchet.

After all, there are only eighteen trebuchets placed on top of Hukou Fort.

This thing is cumbersome to operate, and the rate of fire is very unsatisfactory.

If it is full of calculations, it will take more than a minute to shoot.

If the Odin orcs can overcome their fears and rush forward, they will find this fatal flaw.

On average, the lethality of the black powder keg is just that, completely within the acceptable range.

Odin's orc tone said that it was crushed by the terrifying explosion power of the black powder keg, and it was more appropriate to say that it was dominated by the fear in their hearts.

It doesn't matter what the reason is, if it collapses, it collapses.

Once the collapse is dispersed, it will be difficult to gather courage again in a short period of time.

The Odin orcs, who have lost their morale, are no longer a pack of ferocious wolves, but a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

"Alas!" the veteran Jim let out a sigh of indignation as he looked at the Odin orcs who had left thousands of corpses behind and retreated in disarray.

In the midst of the cheers, this sigh was particularly harsh.

"What's the matter, Uncle Jim, we've just had a brilliant victory, it's something to be happy about, why sigh?" said Jemeille, his face flushing with excitement.

Recruits like him are the most susceptible to being inspired by this kind of thing.

It was definitely a brilliant win.

From the beginning to the end, the Odin orcs had no chance to launch a serious attack on the walls of Tiger's Mouth.

The soldiers defending the city of Hukou Fort had a zero mortality rate, and only a dozen unlucky people were accidentally shot by the arrows thrown by the other party, most of which were not fatal, at most they broke their heads and bleed or smashed a few bones.

Odin's orc wolf archery skills are amazing, but the weapons are really not powerful.

This naturally made them rejoice.

The more powerful the weapons they have, the better their chances of surviving the war.

"I missed a great opportunity in vain, if we have three thousand elite horsemen, no, even if it is to give me a thousand, at this moment the city gate is wide open, follow them to kill them, it is not only as simple as repelling their attack, but even directly stepping on their own formation, driving them back to the grassland like sheep, at that time, the damage caused is not as simple as a thousand people. The more the veteran Jim spoke, the more angry he became, "What a pity!

It's a rare opportunity, if you miss it.

When the Orcs of Odin are regrouped and attack again, the black powder keg is afraid that it will be difficult to exert the power that can shock the soul again.

"No, there are tens of thousands of Odin orcs out there!" Jemil didn't believe what Jim said, even though he was a veteran of a hundred battles.

"What do recruits know? Only those with morale are called soldiers, without morale, no matter how well-equipped, they are still a group of farmers in armor, and they know what sheep driving tactics are?" Jim was very dissatisfied with Jemiller's questioning.

"I don't know. Jemiller shook his head honestly, his background and experience did not give him the opportunity to contact this piece.

"The sheep driving tactic is to drive the soldiers who are crushed, to drive them to the rear, these soldiers who have lost their fear, will transmit this negative emotion to their companions, let them run with them, just like a flock blindly following the head sheep, they don't know why they do it, and the result is a big rout.

Previously, General Pedro led the Broken Blood Cavalry to raid the Miracle Peninsula, and he used this trick to the extreme, taking advantage of the fear of those herders and serfs to cross the land with millions of enemies, and trample them alive. Jim slammed his lips with unconcealed envy in his eyes.

Joining the Broken Blood Rider is every Broken Vein Soldier's biggest dream, and although he can be called an elite, he is still some way from joining the Broken Blood Rider.

"It's a pity that we don't have the strength of the Broken Blood Ride. Jamil still couldn't imagine what Jim had said, and put some of the credit on the Broken Bloodrider's own force.

"Idiot, it's useless to talk to you too much. After Jim vented his anger, he sat back under the battlements, "Now you can rest in peace, this new weapon from the Eternal Night Army Leader is more powerful than I imagined, and now it is estimated that those Odin orcs are also frightened, a day and a half, they will not muster up the courage to continue attacking, we can't go out of the city to fight back, cause them a lot of casualties, give them a chance to regroup, this war will not end for a while and a half, there is still something to do later!"

"According to the situation just now, no matter how many Odin orcs there are, they will not be enough to send them to death. Jamil squatted back.

At this time, he realized that his breath was loose, his legs and feet were a little weak, and he was trembling involuntarily.

The battle just now didn't last long, but every string on his body was tight, causing a lot of physical exhaustion.

"Legs and feet are weak, right? It's normal, everyone comes here like this, it's good to go through two more games. Jim tossed another handful of beef jerky to Jemil and chewed on it.

Jamil couldn't help but stare at his chest a few times, how much of this thing did he carry in his arms?

Jamil did not refuse the other party's kindness, because he found that this method can not only replenish his physical strength, but also distract his attention, so that his spirit will not be so tight, and then soothe his body and mind.

Jim continued: "Don't be so optimistic about things, whether it is the black powder keg or the number of longbows and arrows, they are limited, according to the attrition rate of the war just now, it will not last for a few days, you see, there are already people outside the city who have begun to clean the battlefield." ”

As they spoke, the gates of Hukou Fort were opened.

Hundreds of soldiers with broken pulses rushed out with a swagger.

The mending knife in front of it harvested the Orcs who were not yet dead, and there was no intention of receiving prisoners.

The latter ones were collecting arrows, whether they were intact or damaged, even the arrows on the corpses of the Orcs of Odin were dug up by them.

Obviously, the commander of the Broken Blood Castle is also preparing for a protracted battle.

After all, there are too many Orcs in Odin, and it is not easy to completely defeat them.

The main general of Hukou Fort didn't realize that it was an excellent opportunity to attack just now, but unfortunately they didn't have cavalry in their hands.

If you use infantry to attack, you won't be able to drive sheep at all, but it is very likely that you will be dumpled by the relieved Odin orcs.

One of the most important aspects of the sheep driving tactics is to try to make the rout have no time to think and dispel the fear in their hearts.

This situation occurred not only in Hukou Fort, but also in the hundreds of kilometers around the Broken Blood Fortress, and in the fortress castles that were attacked.

In the face of the new new weapons added to the Broken Pulse Defense Line, the cannon fodder of the first wave of attacks was all defeated.

However, the Broken Pulse defense line lacked cavalry, and the number of people was very different from that of the opponent, so there was no way to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle.

I could only watch as the Orcs retreated and regained their strength.

All of a sudden, a stalemate was formed.

The Odin orcs surrounded but did not fight, and the broken pulse defense line could only wait passively.

On the contrary, it was the core of the entire Broken Pulse Defense Line, and there was no battle.

It's not that this place is not besieged, on the contrary, this is where the main army of the Western Odin Empire is located, and the essence of the entire Tiger Clan Royal Court is here.

Standing on the watchtower of the first wall of the Broken Blood Fortress and looking out, the sight is a cowhide tent with no end in sight.

Although the two sides are in a standoff, neither is as calm as it appears.

In the sky above the Broken Blood Castle, the eagles of the Messenger Mountains flew all over the sky.

Around the army of the Western Odin Empire, various messenger sentries shuttled back and forth.

The Broken Pulse Defense Line and the scattered tribes are their outstretched tentacles, and they are fighting through here.

In terms of the speed of message transmission alone, the Western Odin Empire is obviously several grades behind.

The Broken Blood Fortress has already received the news and made new adjustments, and the news from the Theodin Empire has only been late.

No matter what important information they delivered, it was already too late.

Even if it is the main defense of the Broken Blood Fortress, the main attack of the Western Odin Empire.

The Broken Blood Fortress still took advantage of the poor intelligence and gave the Theodin Empire several hard punches.

The Broken Blood Fortress also has an elite cavalry that is the best in the world.

In a place like Tiger's Mouth Fort, which was too far away from the Broken Blood Fortress, they couldn't support it.

But those who are closer to the Broken Blood Castle can go there.

Just as the veteran Jim predicted, after being robbed of courage and soul by black powder.

The broken blood cavalry that suddenly gushed out from the pass, whether it was a thousand or three thousand, played the most classic sheep driving tactics.

Those Odin orcs who were in fear lost the most basic judgment, and they couldn't tell how many broken blood horses there were.

The Orc tribe of Odin, which was several times larger than the Broken Blood Horse, was shattered by the impact and fled to the north in embarrassment.

Those who died under the severed blood riding sword were a few, and many more died from chaotic stampedes and killings.

When intelligent beings are dominated by fear, their behavior patterns become very chaotic, and those who prevent them from escaping are enemies in their eyes.

In particular, most of the people who were driven as vanguards were the herdsmen of the East Odin Empire, and when they themselves still had hatred for the West Odin Empire, it was not uncommon for some people to take advantage of the chaos to take revenge.

The Broken Blood Ride is a clever use of this.

They took advantage of their intelligence advantage to go back and forth in the heavy army of the Western Odin Empire, three in and three out, so that nearly more than 100,000 Odin orcs were scattered into the steppe, and it was difficult to organize them in a short period of time.

When the army of the Western Odin Empire got the news and was ready to encircle and suppress it, they had already taken advantage of the major passes and withdrew to the south of the Broken Pulse Defense Line.

In this complex coordinated battle, with the assistance of the Eternal Night Army Leader, the staff of the Broken Blood Fortress, which was initially established, played a role that could not be ignored.

Behind each broken blood cavalry, there are more than two military staff officers to help them summarize and transmit information, so as to achieve the purpose of joint operations.

This somewhat private military staff became the permanent residence of Archduke Cedric.

He spends half of his day squatting here, but his understanding of the condition of the entire Broken Pulse Defense Line is far above the fact that he used to run around the world.

The entire battle situation appeared in front of him in the form of a sand table.

The door of the military staff was suddenly pushed open, and General Esmond, who still had traces of fighting on his armor, strode in, shook his head at Archduke Cedric and said: " There is no chance to attack, behind each tribe, there is an elite staring, they have found a way to deal with it, the ears of the war horses are plugged up, the elite is hiding far behind, for those scattered cannon fodder herdsmen, they don't care about their life or death, directly rode their horses over, the ferocity is no worse than ours, once they are entangled, it will be over, and please ask Your Majesty to order, take back all the blood horses. ”

Archduke Cedric did not answer Esmond directly, but turned his head to look at the middle-aged man beside him: "Chief of Staff, what do you think?"

This middle-aged man was none other than Branne, the main chief of staff sent to the Broken Blood Fortress by the Eternal Night Army, and judging from the attitude shown by Archduke Cedric, he had already established his own prestige in the Broken Blood Fortress.

At the same time, it also reflects the extraordinary tolerance of Archduke Cedric, as long as he has the ability, he does not mind the other party's origin.

This is determined by the nature of the Broken Pulse Line.

Their soldiers come from the All-Byron Alliance, they have non-stop living customs, and some of them are even problem personnel.

If they are not inclusive enough, how can they be organized into a whole and used for their own use?

Including the newly rising Andes, as long as they can be used for their own purposes, enhance the combat effectiveness of the Broken Pulse Defense Line, and have a hostile state towards the Odin orcs, Archduke Cedric will never discriminate.

Finally, the Eternal Night Warlord has proved this with his actual actions - Oyuntana, the queen of the Theodin Empire, delivered to the Broken Blood Keep.

You must know that the process of the Eternal Night Army's capture of Queen Oyuntana was very lucky and secretive, even if they were secretly withheld and secretly traded with the Western Odin Empire, they would not know anything about the Broken Blood Castle.

Branne's main chief of staff replied without thinking: "I agree with General Esmond's opinion, Ulaanbari is a difficult opponent, let's start to have an advantage, because he doesn't know our bottom line, now many things have been tested by him, maybe they will deliberately lay traps at which point, they are numerous, and the fault tolerance rate is high, even if more than 100,000 people are defeated, it is still a small injury for them."

If we lose 10,000 or 20,000 blood riders, it will be a nerve-wracking thing for us.

The focus of this war is to drag, as long as it drags on for half a year, the advantage of the huge army of the Western Odin Empire will become their biggest disadvantage, dragging them down alive, and at that time, it is the perfect opportunity for us to fight back. ”

That's what I mean. General Esmond nodded repeatedly.
