Chapter 170: Giant Arm Crossbow
"Glorious Sask warriors, a war destined to go down in history is about to begin. With the will of the Great Ancestral Spirits, we will accomplish what we should have done a long time ago. Destroy this kingdom of humanity that is long overdue, and plunder everything it can in it. For Chirui, for every Sask compatriot!"
Before the official start of the war, Davout, as the supreme commander of the coalition forces, made a speech as usual. But the vast majority of orc warriors have a very weak concept of the kingdom. Therefore, Davuna's words for the sake of the kingdom and for the sake of his compatriots did not arouse the sympathy of the vast number of orc warriors.
So Davout later described the richness of Fanxi and the kingdom. Saying how much gold there is in the kingdom of Xihe and how much population there is, this has aroused the desire in the hearts of the vast majority of orc warriors.
Then the orc warriors from small tribes were the first to strike.
But it is said that there are a thousand ways and ten thousand, and these scattered and many small tribes that do not even have the right to speak are still at the bottom of the orc kingdom.
So they were the first to be discharged to fill the ravine.
Because today's Xiping City has diverted water, a moat with a depth of more than five meters and a width of ten meters has been built. Therefore, if this moat is not completely filled, the orc army will not even be able to touch the city walls.
And filling the river, it's fairly simple for the orcs. It's not that they haven't fought this kind of tough battle, but they are relatively experienced in this area. A large number of dirt bags and longboard carts were already ready at this time.
As soon as their war drums sounded, a full 8,000 orc warriors from small tribes rushed forward with their dirt bags on their backs and pushed the specially made longboard carts.
"Attack, kill!"
The orcs want to fill in the river and then get the first line of defense in Xiping City. But the defenders in Xiping City would not stand idly by and do nothing. So, when these earth-bearing orcs approached their attack range. With the orders of the various commanders, it rained arrows and spears.
Arrows were fired by ordinary Kingdom warriors, and spears were thrown by Templars. Therefore, after the first wave of the offensive, the orcs lost hundreds of men at once. However, more than ninety percent of these orcs were killed by the spears of the Templars.
As for the arrows fired by the warriors of the kingdom, they really didn't have much effect on these orc warriors like iron cans. There were more than a dozen arrows hanging from the orc warriors, and the whole thing looked like a hedgehog, but it was still fine.
Therefore, in the face of the offensive of the defenders of Xiping City, the orcs' river reclamation work is still carried out in an orderly manner. So much so that after just two hours, the moat, which was still wide, was half filled by the industrious orcs.
Seeing this with his own eyes, Zhu Xiao's face on the city wall darkened, and he couldn't help but ask the witch Lin on the side: "Madam, let's fight." Even if you can't stop the orcs' work, you can cause them some trouble. ”
"Well, go ahead. ”
Lynn the witch didn't stop her. Although the scarce number of Wyvern Knights and Griffin Knights cannot fundamentally change the tide of battle at this time, it is good to inflict as many casualties as possible on the orcs and boost the morale of the defenders.
So then, the only four dragon knights and eight griffon knights in the city were dispatched (two griffon knights were sent for help).
They first flapped their wings and came to the sky, and then launched a dive condescendingly, and after a wave of attack, they did solve more than a dozen orc warriors steadily.
But Witch Lin didn't expect to see these dragon knights and griffin knights after the battle. As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Davout couldn't help but be overjoyed, "These arrogant slave species, I was still worried about how to get rid of these troublesome guys. Unexpectedly, these slave races now took the initiative to send the opportunity to me.
Great Shaman, take out that thing and let's shoot these troublesome griffons and wyverns. ”
He had already suffered from these Wyvern Knights and Griffon Knights a few years ago, and Davout, as the commander of the coalition forces, could not be completely unprepared for this. Therefore, with his order, the great shaman Amu Gulang also asked people to take out huge bows and crossbows.
These crossbows are exaggerated in size, and are almost two-thirds as tall as an orc when placed on the ground. That's about one meter five.
Therefore, those who wield these bows and crossbows are said to be the strongmen of the orcs. Each one is as strong as Nahuen, who was killed by Shou yesterday. However, even with such a strong orc warrior, the bow and crossbow that they want to use still need to be carried by the feet. It takes all the strength of his body to wind the bow and crossbow.
Therefore, this bow and crossbow is called by Davout - the giant arm crossbow. It is a weapon specially created by Davout to deal with the Wyvern Knights and Griffin Knights. And immediately after it was manufactured, it was immediately rehearsed in actual combat. In the end, it turned out that as long as the distance was not more than three hundred meters, this thing was enough to shoot the Wyvern.
It's just that because it's too heavy and difficult to maneuver and the production process is extremely complicated, only 100 of this giant arm crossbow Dawu has been produced. Now, that's where it comes in.
So at his command, a hundred orc warriors wielding the giant crossbow lined up after winding the crossbow arrows. Then these orc warriors strode forward, and gradually approached the front line battlefield with their huge bows and crossbows.
"Zhu Xiao, look. Another batch of orcs is coming, and it looks like they're coming at us. How, is it to avoid or to fight?"
"Fight! Let's try their quality first!"
Zhu Xiao's personality is the kind that is indomitable. Even if he knew there might be danger, there was no way he would leave without a fight. Therefore, as he drove his bipedal flying dragon into the air again, Zhu Xiao, who had clenched the weapon in his hand, directly launched a dive against those orc crossbowmen!
"Whew!!"
The big mouth of the two-legged wyvern under his crotch also let out a roar. But they all eat, and the orc crossbowmen silently raised the giant arm crossbow in their hands, planning to make them often powerful as long as Zhu Xiao and a few of them approached.
So, just as the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer. With the roar of the orc centurion, the orc crossbowmen slammed down their hanging swords, and the powerful arrows rushed out with a sound of breaking through the air.
"Up!"
Three hundred meters, orc crossbowmen shoot their arrows. Zhu Xiao and the others, who were originally for the sake of temptation, also hurriedly drove their bipedal flying dragon into the air. It's just that I didn't expect that even so, the swords shot by the orc crossbowmen still pierced through the strengthened scale armor of the bipedal wyvern. Brought out the blood at once!
