Chapter 427: Blocking (5)
"Stop shelling!"
After achieving the expected results of the shelling, Villa. Arwen decisively gave the order, although the mortar was brilliant in the first battle. However, as a shell in the trial production stage, the number is not large, and it must be kept to deal with possible emergencies. And the cost of a shell is four or five times the cost of a bursting shell, and it is not a shell that is shot out of the barrel, but a lot of gold carats.
"Archer prepare!" At the same time as the shelling stopped, the archers on both flanks also began to prepare for the attack, "Bow forty degrees, flank forward!" Put! ”
At the edge of Panlong Ridge, behind the hardwood fence and the arrow pit, the sound of bowstrings trembling was so loud that the archers of the city defense army could not bear to look at the appearance of the enemy, the Hulk had been completely disrupted in formation, and the kobolds were scurrying like headless flies, moving their bodies stunned by fright and fear like bedbugs, trying to find a shelter from the wind.
Countless arrows weaved a dense cloud on a clear spring afternoon, which stayed at the limit of the sky for a while, and then turned into a dense rainstorm as gravity pulled down on the panicked warriors, and the raindrops suddenly turned into whistling steel weapons as they approached their targets, like bloodthirsty sharks sticking out their fangs.
In the panic, the Hulk warriors and kobold soldiers were unaware of the attack of the city defenders, and by the time they found out, it was too late, and only a few had time to raise their shields.
Screams, blood splashes, heavy footsteps...... After paying a huge number of casualties, the Hulk warriors continued to advance, and the kobolds were left with very little left after this round of bow and arrow strikes.
Shout......
Oncoming bullets knock out Hulk warriors in rows, no matter how powerful their bodies. When something goes wrong with the heart, it's all for nothing. The frontal blocking mission is all members of the Lord's Guard, in the battle just now, although there are some injuries, but most of the half-elf archers are there, they don't necessarily use the work of snipers, but within a few hundred meters. Shoot the heart of the Hulk. No difficulty.
"Archer, bow ten degrees! Split left and right! Shoot again! ”
At the same time as firing from frontal positions, with the order of the commander. The flank camp of the city defense army once again released an even thicker dark cloud, but this time the salvo was purposeful and selective, and the rain of arrows falling on the left and right at the same time successfully drove the Hulk warriors who had fallen into dispersion together.
"It seems...... The commander of the Hulk has given up on these warriors completely! "Barthes. Willie to Bilin. Hegel said softly.
"And now? Isn't it the start of shelling? Completely cut off their retreat? "Bilin. Hegel frowned. How much courage and boldness does it take to give up your own warriors?
"No!" Barthes. Willie shook his head. He looked at Hathaway, who was standing on the lookout, "You don't have to worry, our lord won't waste cannonballs at this time. ”
"Earth Flood Furnace!"
Hathaway, of course, didn't waste cannonballs at this time, this magic was a mixture of earth and fire. Within a radius of several tens of meters, the blazing magma flooded, although the attack range was slightly smaller. But it's so powerful that even a golden warrior falls into it. Nor can it fight lava...... In the blink of an eye, a large number of Hulk warriors disappeared, leaving no corpses, and all the surviving Hulk warriors stood by the lava, staring blankly ahead.
Woo~Woo~
A clarion call for retreat! This is a clarion call for retreat! The Hulk warriors, who were no longer able to face this qiē, finally grabbed a glimmer of life, and they threw away something that could affect their actions...... Blades and armor desperately hit the forest.
"Come back...... How many people? "Barton. Savile bit his lip tightly, he didn't really want to hear that count.
Anthony. Pahn looked at the rapidly retreating troops and shook his head bitterly: "Three squadrons or four squadrons?" I don't know! I don't want to face any of this! ”
"I command!"
The herald immediately greeted him.
"The roundabout and outflanking troops immediately attacked, and the Rock Dragon Knights abandoned the central battlefield and divided into two divisions, approaching the enemy's front line from the left and right flanks of Panlong Ridge."
The herald sped out of the woodland after receiving orders from his commander.
"Are you afraid?" Barton. Savile turned to the group of Hulk warriors standing to his left.
"Afraid! I'm trembling with fear! I'm so scared that I want their lives! A Hulk warrior replied aloud, and anyone could tell that the warrior's eyes were burning with fighting spirit.
"My lord, this rout is worth it, the enemy has exposed his fatal weakness, I have calculated the interval between the firing and the effective killing distance of the enemy's weapon, if I am ordered to attack, I will return to them ten times and twenty times the fear that the enemy has inflicted on the hearts of the warriors!"
"How are you going to attack?" Barton. Savile looked at the quick-witted warrior with satisfaction.
"Using the mobile forces of the Order as a cover, quickly crossing the battlefield, even if the opponent's weapons can inflict heavy casualties on me, my warriors will still be able to tear their positions apart. But one thing is very troublesome, almost all of our battle mages have been attacked, no one has suppressed the opposing archmage, and we have to face the enemy's mages and new weapons at the same time. ”
"Are you going to attack then?" Barton. Savile asked.
"Of course, the Hulk warriors are not afraid of any enemy!" The warrior spoke with a confident look on his face.
Barton. Saville nodded, but he knew that the speed of the Rock Dragon Knights' impact would leave the infantry group far behind, and it would not be easy to coordinate with the cavalry!
"Good luck!" The Hulk commander salutes the samurai.
……
At the foot of Panlong Ridge, the soldiers of the city defense army are reinforcing their positions, and the medics carry the wounded soldiers down for treatment, and the use of healing potions for minor injuries is appropriate, and the serious injuries are basically used scrolls or magic gems, Hathaway has never been stingy in this regard. Among the medics, there are also priests and water mages specially trained by Hathaway, their strength is not very strong, but in this environment of high-intensity use of spells, their progress is also very fast.
Somewhere on the back of the mountain, there was a corpse covered in a white cloth...... There are more than ten warriors who lost their lives in this blocking battle, whether it is medical skills or spells, they are not omnipotent, even if they master the legendary Great Resurrection Technique, how many people can be resurrected?
This is war!
Hathaway led the men around the mederadic's camp, casually used magic to treat some of the seriously wounded, and silently walked between the corpses, and then went to the artillery position.
"What do you learn?" Hathaway asked Villa. Arvin.
Speaking of which, Hathaway is also their teacher, according to the rules of the base, after every class, internship or some action, the students have to summarize their experience and then communicate with each other, which has become a routine.
"Some issues were identified."
Villa. Ah Wen has recovered from the initial excitement, he did not leave the other party at the front of the position at all, but let go of one-third of it, "The reaction speed of the artillery cannot keep up with the changes on the battlefield, the mortar adjusts the attack angle quickly, the combat form should be more flexible, if it is properly coordinated, it can completely suppress the enemy's mobile forces." ”
"It's about fighting guò and trying out the use of new weapons, and you're doing a good job. Next, I am afraid that the enemy will move his forces, and this is a good opportunity for you to practice. There is another problem, we must do a good job of communication with other troops, fighting is not a problem of one branch, and we must pay attention to coordination. ”
Hathaway was very satisfied that the special operators had applied what they had learned to the fullest, and they knew how to draw inferences. The power of the mortar is actually very different from the power of the traditional magic crystal cannon. However, the mortar was small in size and lightweight, with flexible angles of attack and rapid transfer...... The most important thing is that the Cordillera Collar's arsenal has fully mastered its processing and manufacturing technology, and if you don't want the magic crystal cannon, all countries are eating the old capital, and the manufacturing technology has long been lost, and it is extremely bulky. Although Hathaway listened to the rumbling cannon and felt heartache about the rate of loss of Jinkla, in fact, the cost of an attack from the magic crystal cannon was more than a hundred times that of a mortar.
"Will we win?"
Anthony. Pahn moved restlessly on his mount, the Rock Dragon, expecting that the first attack would be met with stubborn resistance, but the enemy barely suffered a single soldier in the first attack, and won the victory with ease with the kind of fire-breathing weapons that made a loud noise (the dead and wounded in the city defense were wounded by stray arrows).
"This damn magic weapon is almost as powerful as the magic crystal cannon." The well-informed Anthony. Parn had never heard of such a weapon, but he could feel the alchemists in it.
"Magic weapons?"
Barton. Savile repeated in a low voice, but he chuckled instead, "Anthony, we will win!" As long as the enemy continues to be on the defensive, as long as they continue to rely on that weapon, victory will be ours! ”
At 3:59 p.m. on March 21, 911, the sun gradually shifted to the western sky. The Hulk is adjusting the second round of attack camps, while the Cordillera City Defenses are filling the front line with baggage vehicles, food vehicles, and other things that can be used to block cavalry.
The battlefield of Panlongling was silent, and it seemed that it was ...... Only the craters of black earth and the shocking corpses of abandoned corpses on the snowfield silently recounted the bloody battle that had just taken place. Several half-elf warriors patrolled the corpses vigilantly, and if there were any who were pretending to be dead or seriously wounded, they didn't mind shooting them in the head.
