Chapter 556: Battle of North Carol (5)
With a telescope in hand, Nelson stood on the outer walls of the city of Yolan and observed the first wave of the Cordillera siege force.
No matter how confident and firm Nelson is, he will inevitably be a little nervous when facing a strong army like the Cordillera Army.
Before the Great War, both he and Mihrin felt that with the fortress outside the city, they could hold the Cordillera back for a while, and at the worst they would have to pay a heavy price for the other party...... According to the idea of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke and Mikhalin, as long as they succeeded in dragging the Cordillera city defense army under the city of Yolan for a period of time, the Bukharan army and the Atlantan army would definitely make some moves, and even if the Cordillera was brave and good at fighting, it would be impossible to deal with the three high lords at the same time.
But neither he nor Mihrin expected that the Cordillera city defense would be so strong, and they didn't even send infantry to test it, and directly sent a rumored magic legion...... It was a nightmare army, and when thousands of dense fireballs bombarded the fortress area outside the city, Nelson felt that his heart was about to collapse like the fortress area outside, and I believe that so did his colleagues behind him, if it were not for the sense of honor of the soldiers and the great reward of the lord to support them at this time, I am afraid that some people would have laid down their weapons and fled by this time.
It can also be seen from this that the Cordillera army's attack on Yolan City must be a stormy attack, because they can't afford to delay it now, and if they can't take Yolan City within the specified time, the Cordillera army will inevitably withdraw, unless they are confident that they can cope with the combined attack of the three major lords.
Despite his absolute confidence in the defensive system of the city of Yolan, the Cordillera army that came prepared was obviously not a vegetarian, especially the loss of the outer fortresses, and Nelson was ready to fight a tragic defensive battle in case of the loss of the outer walls.
Through the binoculars, Nelson found that the Cordillera army was unusually resolute in its attack - the first wave of their attack took out more than half of the large siege equipment they carried, and each attacking force was the elite of the Cordillera army.
Seemingly. In order to quickly attack Yolan City, Hathaway even omitted a tentative attack, and planned to attack with the main force, but fortunately, the magic corps just now did not dispatch. Otherwise, the warriors on the city walls will be hit hard, although the city walls are protected by magic arrays, but the soldiers can't - in magic attacks, ordinary people don't even have the power to protect themselves, but now it seems. The other party does not seem to have any intention of using that force.
That Lord of the Cordillera, why is he so entrusted?
Nelson's brow furrowed.
If the two sides swapped places, even if his troops were doubled, he would not come to touch Yulan City. As an experienced military commander, Nelson proceeded cautiously and targeted all defensive weaknesses that could be taken into account.
With Grand Duke Joshua in the city of Yolan, Nelson on the front line, and the main force led by Mihrin on the periphery, the morale of the North Carolina army was finally maintained and not reduced to an uncontrollable level.
The forbidden area of the outer city wall of Yulan City. It maximizes the magic advantage of the Cordillera, which is one of the reasons why the opponent withdrew the magic legion.
Another killer weapon of the Cordillera army is the abyssal dragon and flying troops, which are densely packed with anti-aircraft crossbows throughout the interior of Yolan City, which will effectively eliminate a certain degree of air superiority of the Cordillera army.
In the city of Yolan, all North Carolina Army squadrons and above have a dual command mechanism, making any rebellion difficult. In terms of combat baggage, it is scattered and concentrated at as many points as possible, but it is also guaranteed to be concealed so as not to be destroyed by spies, and can be quickly mobilized and used.
β¦β¦
Something that can't figure it out. It's useless to think too much.
If Nelson could hold off the Cordillera attack and defeat Hathaway in Yolan City, it would definitely be famous, a temptation for a soldier. It's simply irresistible!
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Nelson had an anticipation in his heart.
In his decades of military career, he can meet a strong army like the Cordillera, no matter whether he wins or loses, his life will be in vain!
"Onward! Advance! Advance! β
From time to time, the mid- and lower-ranking commanders of the Cordillera Army let out high-pitched shouts.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak......
Mixed with dozens of inconspicuous earthen ramparts among hundreds of rushing vehicles, crashing vehicles, siege vehicles, boarding vehicles and other large siege equipment, the officers and men of the assault team struggled to push the huge wheel of the earthen ram truck, so that it moved towards the city wall outside Yulan City little by little.
The earth ram carts are boxy. It's like a big box, because of the rush to make it, the corners are extremely uneven, and it looks very ugly. For the saying that the earth ram is a siege weapon. The elite units of the Cordillera Army were adamantly unconvinced, believing them to be slow moving targets. But it is very appropriate to use them as a cover for an impending assault.
Early in the morning, when the various units of the Cordillera Army began to attack, the five Green Elf Magisters who hurried over, under the protection of several golden warriors, entered under the earthen ramparts, and many Cordillera Army commanders realized that they had inadvertently missed the first effort to capture the city of Yolan.
It's just that at this point, regret is useless. Before you conquered Youlan City, there were a lot of meritorious deeds!
"The first to ascend to the top of the city will be knighted first-class! Whoever slays Nelson will be made a baron of the first class! Kill the Grand Duke of Joshua and make him a first-class viscount! "Barthes. Willy's roar resounded throughout the battlefield: "Your Excellency Lord has an order, the calculation of the merits of this battle will be doubled according to military regulations!" β
"Kill!"
The more than 30,000 elite officers and soldiers of the Cordillera Army who rolled forward let out a heroic shout of killing.
"Fifth base, pick up speed and keep an eye on the direction!" Linna, who had been transferred to the mage corps, shouted the order.
What?!
Ilona shook her head dissatisfied.
"Are we too slow?" Wizard Antonio asked, "Looks like it's at the back of the line!" β
Ilona spread her hands helplessly, showing that it was not her idea.
The siege force of the Cordillera army was like a huge wave, and it swooped down on the walls of the city of Yulan viciously, and its momentum was like a tide. However, five hundred meters beyond the edge of the outer city wall, the forward of the Cordillera siege force suddenly stopped.
"Attack!"
Sicconi. Sheldon gave the order in the air and commanded the first batch of Cordillera Army Flying Units to launch an all-out ground bombardment of the city of Yolan.
The snowvultures, in small groups, all used dive attacks to launch fierce bursting bombs, incendiary bombs and other bombardments on the outer city walls of Yulan City.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Countless firearms rained down from the sky, centering on the area of the outer city wall of Yulan City, forming a wide explosion area. Despite this round of ground bombardment. The surface momentum is very lively, but the actual killing effect is very unsatisfactory.
First of all, the CyclΓ©ra Army Snowvin Knights don't know why. The altitude of the dive bombardment is not much, at most about 150 meters, so as to effectively evade the anti-aircraft fire on the ground, but the bombardment accuracy is far from good.
Secondly, when repairing the outer city walls. The North Carolina Army had already considered the possibility of an air strike, built a large number of anti-aircraft bunkers on the city walls, and deployed extremely dense defensive firepower.
In the end, since the beginning of the peripheral battle in the early morning, the entire city of Yolan has been in a state of air attack, and the officers and soldiers of North Carolina have all passed the air bombardment survival class.
Of course, Hathaway never commanded the flight troops to take the city of Yolan by bombarding the ground.
Sicconi. The purpose of this wave of ground bombardment commanded by Sheldon was to cover the main force to attack the city. It is to provide time for the siege troops of the Cordillera Army to adjust their attack formation as they prepare to step into the range of the defensive fire attack of the city of Yolan; the second is to reduce the density of North Carol defenders on the city of Yulan; Thirdly; It was generous to boost the morale of the Cordillera siege troops and strengthen their will to win.
Amid the continuous sound of explosions, the Cordillera siege force on the ground launched an all-out assault.
The officers and soldiers in charge of observing the outer city wall immediately noticed the beginning of the Cordillera army attack, and quickly sounded the siren.
A large number of North Carolina officers and soldiers poured out from anti-aircraft bunkers, city walls, aisles, watchtowers, and other places, rolling out all kinds of defensive equipment, ready to fire fire.
Sicconi. Sheldon's flying squadron was unusually brave, diving down to fifty or sixty meters and throwing a large number of fist-sized balls.
The fire network of the outer city wall of Yulan City, although there is no unified coordination of the attack. But the dense force of the blow, which was as concentrated as possible in an instant, still shot down fourteen snowvultures at once. Fortunately, even if these soul mounts are badly damaged, they will only return to the soul badge to recuperate, and they can continue to use them after recovery. Most of the Flying Knights used the Feather Falling Scroll, and only two or three unlucky ones were shot through their bodies by attacks from below.
However, the Cordillera flight unit that has paid such heavy casualties has also received quite a generous reward. At least half of the spheres were accurately thrown into the forbidden area of the outer city wall of Yulan City.
"Don't dodge, it's wolf smoke balls and smoke bombs!" Nelson shouted hoarsely, "Get up, clean them up!" β
Although Nelson has a rather loud voice. But on the battlefield, which was filled with explosions, shouts of killing, flights, horns, drums, bows and arrows, it was so small that it could only be heard by more than a hundred people nearby.
The North Carolina soldiers on the outer wall of the city of Yulan saw countless spherical objects falling down, and they were bombarded with a lot of them, so they thought they were explosives and tried their best to dodge.
After the sphere fell, large expanses of various colors of smoke rose up and rose into the air. It didn't go away for a long time.
Nelson couldn't help but curse viciously in his heart...... It's so cunning!
In the forbidden area, not only is the activity of the magic element greatly reduced, but the wind is within its range, and the speed will become a little slower. Normally, this phenomenon is not very obvious and not easily noticed by ordinary people, and only magicians can detect it beforehand.
It's a pity that in order to prolong the existence of the forbidden area of the outer city wall as much as possible, and not let the influence of external natural conditions expand on it, it is too expensive for the magicians to maintain the forbidden area.
The North Carolina Army carefully adjusted the height, orientation, and topography of the overall fortifications of the outer city wall. In other words, with the efforts of the weak army, under the normal weather conditions, the forbidden demon area can basically be said to be a windless area. Nelson once boasted, "Fire oil bombs and wolf smoke bombs are difficult to help the outer city walls of Yulan." β
It must be pointed out that there is some truth in this statement.
In windless conditions, the smoke disperses slowly, which has an effect on the defenders, but its straight upward trajectory prevents it from spreading over a large area, but it cancels out its power.
But there were pros and cons, with Nelson clearly exaggerating the positive side for North Carolina and ignoring the positive side for the Cordillera.
Suppose the Cordillera Army creates a large amount of smoke in the Forbidden Zone. That would be a big problem for the North Carolina Army to defend the city.
What are you afraid of, what are you afraid of!
Hathaway was able to see the flaws in the forbidden area early and launch a targeted attack, today's battle is really difficult to fight!
At this time, Nelson still had a glimmer of fantasy in his heart, hoping that it was just a coincidence. However. The raindrops in the air are like falling wolf smoke bombs, smoke bombs, fireworks torches, etc.
Thick clouds of fog rose up, obscuring people's views and choking people's mouths and noses.
"Don't stop the anti-aircraft fire attack!"
"The defenders of the city are free to fire!"
β¦β¦
A calm and composed, Nelson gave one battle order after another. For this kind of eventuality, Nelson is prepared for a certain extent. You must know that the Cordillera army is extremely powerful, and with the help of a green elf-level magister, it should be a matter of time before they come up with a strategy to attack the city with a thick smoke, and they must not be prepared.
The outer walls of Yolan were all guarded by the elite troops of North Carolina, who immediately recovered from the chaos and fought back bravely.
Terrible! Nelson was a definite defender of the city!
Alf, who commanded the creation of a smoke offensive in the air, exclaimed.
The defenders of the outer walls of North Carolina, who were disadvantaged as soon as the battle was engaged, under the command of Nelson, did not panic and calmly responded, and inflicted considerable casualties on the Cordillera ground troops with dense firepower.
I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
