Chapter 832: Let go

For them, this is a big problem, should they use artillery bombardment?

It seems a bit too extravagant to do this, if they don't, by the time they trample on them, the minefields they have worked so hard to lay will basically be scrapped, and the enemy will definitely not give them a chance to make up for it.

"A round!" Sophia, dressed in military uniform, raised a finger.

With an order, more than 300 shells were lifted into the air at the same time, and countless sheep were blown into the sky on the spot.

These sheep didn't know what straggler tactics were, and they all huddled together, so that the power of this round of shelling was brought into full play, and a shell blew up and killed a dozen of them, which was a common thing, and more of them were hit by shrapnel flying around, wounded but not dead, lying there bleating.

This round of shelling did have a certain deterrent effect, but it only targeted the sheep around the place where the shells landed, and did not disperse the entire flock, jumping around, or even recoiling.

"Stop the shelling, let the longbowmen prepare, and once the sheep are in range, they will attack indiscriminately, and the Tigers and the Holy Spirit Legion are at the gate of the camp, ready to welcome the sheep into the barracks, and the rations that have been delivered to the door for nothing cannot be wasted. Sophia was not surprised by this situation.

Hai Ri Dongbu has a lot of experience in dealing with artillery bombardment, and knows that before charging, plug the ears of the war horses to prevent the huge movement from the shelling from affecting their war horses, let alone driving the sheep.

And it was done more thoroughly, directly poking the ears of the sheep deafening, and naturally they would no longer be affected by the shelling.

Only rushing in the direction of being driven, even if the one in front is frightened by the explosion because of stepping on a mine, there is no way to run back, but will be carried forward by the whole flock.

The reason why the mine array was only deployed three hundred meters outside the barracks was mainly to cooperate with the use of Andes Longbow,

On their side, they were delayed by a minefield, and on the other side, there will be an overwhelming rain of arrows falling down, which can definitely play an extraordinary lethal role.

It's a pity that this trick was not used on the Odin orcs, but on the sheep.

Click!

When the flock of sheep driven by Hai Ridong was completely pressed up, the three gates of Sophielia's military village rumbled open at the same time.

Three flocks of sheep rushed into the army village along the mine-free road reserved by Sophilia and them.

Although the sheep that hit the minefield were deaf, their eyes were not blind, and after being frightened, they instinctively ran to a safe place.

The flocks of sheep elsewhere were pressed back by the rain of mines and arrows, and those in front retreated, and those behind were driven forward and squeezed into a ball.

Only the safe passage here has become a flood outlet, and the sheep quickly drill into it.

After the flood outlet, the impact of the sheep on the mine array was obviously weakened by a notch.

"The Holy Spirit Legion each formed a human wall passage. ”

"The sheep are driven behind, encircled, and don't let them scurry around in the barracks!"

"Resist the pressure, don't let them break up the formation, be ready to deal with the impact, and wait a minute, we'll have meat to eat for nothing. ”

"Commander, just wait and see, for the sake of this meat, we will also guard the door!"

Of course, the door of the military fortress was not opened casually, and Sophia dared to make such a decision out of trust in the two main battle legions that the Eternal Night Army leader had given her support.

Neither the military staff headed by Kelman nor the reaction of the two main battle legions disappointed Sophia.

There was no need for him to give detailed instructions at all, and the two main battle legions reacted impeccably.

The Kentana barbarian soldiers of the Holy Spirit Legion, carrying large shields tailored for them, gathered in a formation behind the gate of the military village where they were stationed, forming a 100-meter-long shield wall channel, directly guiding the sheep to the back half of the military village, ensuring that the space around the gate of the military village would not be filled with sheep.

Once the Odin orcs in the Sea and Winter Department come with the sheep, they can cut off the influx of sheep at any time and close the gate of the general village.

"Dispose of the flock, hurry, don't let them run around in the barracks. ”

Although the sheep stormed into Sophilia's stronghold, they did not escape death.

Another Eternal Night Army's leading group, the Tiger Legion, drew out their short knives one by one, rushed forward, hugged those sheep, and pointed them at the neck, a clean and neat knife cut directly off the major arteries, and in a few minutes, they would die of excessive blood loss.

They stick to a camp, all kinds of materials are relatively limited, even if they put the sheep in, it is impossible to have so much excess grain and grass to feed them, and it is the most convenient thing to kill them directly and cleanly.

"Good opportunity, gather the elite, rush forward, follow the sheep, and be sure to take down their gates. Sophia's bold response really made Odin's orcs stunned, and then shouted with joy on their faces.

It is true that only a single sheep is slaughtered by everyone, but it cannot stand that they now have more than 200,000 sheep.

When the time comes, the sheep will crowd the sheep and block the gates of their fortresses to see how they will close them.

As long as they penetrate their interior, the deterrent power of their black powder keg will be greatly reduced.

Soon the elite Odin orc death squads were organized, using more drastic means to drive the flocks, so that the flocks could attack the minefields and military camps at a faster speed, and once the number of sheep decreased, they would rush up.

"Why didn't Her Royal Highness the princess order the closure of the walled gate? What did the military staff do to eat? How could they make such a low-level mistake? Could it be that they really wanted to lead the other side into an all-out attack?"

Seeing the sheep that were driven by the Hai Ri Winter Department to attack the camp, those who were killed were killed, those who shot were killed, those who rushed into the military village rushed into the military village, the number of sheep outside the military village was less than one-third, and the Odin orc siege troops in the distance had begun to move.

Governor Amelia, who was not from a professional background, clearly felt that their reaction was half a beat slower.

At this time, shouldn't you forcibly block the influx of sheep and close the gate of the military village, right?

If it goes on like this, it will not just be as simple as triggering the Odin orcs to forcibly seize the door, but will lead the entire Hai Ri Dong Department and take the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack, which is not very beneficial to them, the numerical advantage that the other party has is real, not to mention, their military fortress is a temporary camp after all.

The walls were just over four meters long, made of logs, masonry, and earth, and were not ideal in terms of height or sturdiness, and some of the low places could be reached by Kentana barbarian soldiers.

Once the opponent rushes in and a large-scale melee occurs, the effectiveness of their long-range weapons will be greatly weakened, and the shortcomings of the recruits' lack of training will also be exposed.

When Amelia hurried to the control tower, not only Sophia was standing there in military uniform, looking down on the entire battle situation, but Kelman's main chief of staff was also standing behind her.

Governor Amelia was not polite to Sophia, and straightforwardly raised the question in his heart.

"Naren Toya led his undead legion southward to attack the northern fortress of the Eternal Night. Sophia didn't answer Amelia's question directly, but said something irrelevant.

Amelia looked listening, she knew that Sophia could not say something irrelevant in such an emergency.

Sure enough, Sophia continued: "Compared to these Odin orcs, those living dead need us to spare more energy to deal with, the war on our side can't drag on for too long, if the old fox of Hai Ridong finds that there is no way to eat us, chooses to cross us, jump directly into the territory, and divide the troops to attack and disturb, it will cause devastating damage to our interior."

Rather than this, it is better to let them see a little hope of breaking through the camp, put all their forces into it, and fight a decisive battle in advance. ”

Amelia changed color slightly and said: "Before the opponent's strength is weakened enough, a decisive battle will be triggered, even if it is a final victory, it will be a disastrous victory, and the casualties will be more than we imagined." ”

"I know. Sophia nodded with a cold face, "But it's better than them pouring into the interior, and the losses caused by burning, killing and plundering are much smaller, and there is no choice between the two evils." ”

Sophia also has an important reason not to say, they must kill as many enemies as possible under the Heroic Soul Tower, or be killed by the enemy, only in this way can they collect enough souls to support Sean to start a second battlefield against the Shadow Lady and her puppet lackeys.

In order to get his wife Sophia to cooperate with him, Sean has to explain the bad situation they are facing now to her, so that she can understand the seriousness of the matter.

"But......" Amelia wanted to say something, but it was too late.

A series of loud bull horns were already sounding on the opposite side, which was the horn of the all-out attack of the Odin orcs.

Countless Odin orcs, shouting the slogan of Ula, rode their horses and rushed over, as the vanguard, it was one of the few heavily armed iron horsemen of the Odin orcs.

The main purpose of the heavy iron cavalry was not to storm the camp, but to break away the sheep squeezed on the safe road and open the way for the siege team behind.

In front of these high-speed galloping and armed to the teeth, the snow-white sheep were cut like a tide, and countless sheep were driven and squeezed into the minefield next to them, causing countless rumbling explosions, adding a bloody rendering to their charge.

Although there are also people in the Hairi Winter Department, this time the tactics are a little smooth and excessive, but they still will not let go of this excellent opportunity, those assembled elites, see the right time to attack.

Boom! Boom!

The artillery, which had been silent for a while, opened fire again.

The focus of the first round of strikes was the heavily armed iron rider who rushed to the front.

In pure cold weapon warfare, the heavy iron cavalry is definitely synonymous with the pinnacle, armed to the teeth, indestructible and indestructible, and often can have a decisive influence on a war.

The appearance of artillery directly shook their supremacy.

Their armor, in the face of powerful kinetic energy, was as easily torn apart as paper, crumpled into a lump of steel flesh twisted together.

Just three rounds of shelling inflicted most of them on their back.

But this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Odin orcs, because most of the tasks of these heavy iron horsemen had been completed, and they had already torn most of the sheep blocked in front of the military fortress, opening the way for the attacking troops behind.

Compared with the original safe passage reserved by the military village, after being trampled by the sheep, it has been five or six times more spacious, showing a huge trumpet-shaped.

Although the sheep have the consciousness of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, the new weapon of the mine array is far beyond their cognition, and they do not know the scope of the safe area, whether they will be killed or rushed into the camp and slaughtered, it still depends on luck.

Boom! Boom!

After the artillery regiment began to roar, it did not stop, and bombarded the place where Odin's orcs were most concentrated.

Buzz! Buzz!

The rain of arrows thrown by Andes's longbow also reversed the direction of the attack as the footsteps of the Odin orc attack approached, and smashed towards them overwhelmingly.

The only difference is that this time it is no longer an ordinary arrow, but an armor-piercing arrow with a lot of weight.

The simple wooden shields held by the Orcs of Odin, made of wooden planks, pierced through them like papier-mΓ’chΓ© in front of the armor-piercing arrows, connecting them to their arms.

Those who are experienced, even if it hurts, forcibly control it, so that they can keep their movements from deforming.

Those who are inexperienced, once out of shape, there is a good chance that another armor-piercing arrow will pierce their flesh and blood.

No matter how powerful the artillery is, there are only about 300 guns, and only 100 guns can be divided in one direction.

No matter how dense the arrow rain is, the scope and duration of the rain are relatively limited.

But the troops attacked by the Orcs seemed to be infinite, like a tidal wave, endless.

Those who rushed to the front fell, and more rushed up from behind, and each wave of impact brought them one step closer to the camp gate.

In particular, the gatekeepers on Sophia's side made a posture of cutting off the influx of sheep and preparing to close the gate of the military village.

The Orcs of Odin were like crazy, and began to press the siege troops upwards regardless of casualties.

People are such strange creatures, and if they hadn't seen any hope before, they might have been able to restrain their senses.

If they find that success is in sight, and there is still a little bit of investment, they will no longer have any scruples to invest in it.

But often that trace is very deadly.

Now the one hundred and fifty meters away from the camp gate has become the trace of the sea and winter.

Like a wave, the Odin orc troops surged upwards in waves, advancing two or three meters forward with each tumbling surge.

Advancing to this distance is exciting news for the entire Theodin Empire.

Because they are no longer blindly beaten passively, it is enough for those Odin orcs who are good at shooting to send their arrows into the enemy's camp.

In particular, the gates they were trying to close became the main target of their cavalry shooting.

Soon the three military gates were full of arrows.

This greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the Odin orcs, and the arrows shot harder, and the momentum of the charge became more violent.
