Chapter 225: The Siege Begins
The three doors opened by the tower, with artillery on the front and thunder and iron dragon gunners on the sides, rifles and hand cannons are very powerful, but they cannot be thrown into the fire, so the commanding heights are crucial.
The towers and walls also had trebuchets on the ground, and at least seventy artillery units were at each gate, and the whole city had been arranged in more than three hundred, and there were countless more suitable shells. This is the confidence of the Supreme King to dare to take Zhang Hao's suggestion.
"Your Majesty the Supreme King, His Royal Highness Prince Li, the orcs finally can't bear to attack." After entering the temporary residence of the High King, Bonos saluted the High King and Zhang Hao.
"Sit, Bernos, and listen to the information and plans that Prince Li has brought us." The High King waved Bernos to sit down.
Zhang Hao nodded to Bonos and continued, "According to the latest information provided by the Eye of the Empire, all the coastal cities of the Norsca tribe are building sea-crossing ships, and there are a huge number of them, the trolls have completely occupied the original dwarven cities, and the army of Kislev has been driven back, all of which shows that the time for the Chaos Gate to be opened is very close, but our defense methods have not yet been established. ”
"Shouldn't we go all out to defeat this AAAGH and then devote ourselves to construction?" Bernos asked, puzzled.
"Two, I would like to ask first, in the face of the combined invasion of the entire Far North and Chaos, how many of us have enough for them to kill? How many of us have been killed by mistake with our own artillery and other long-range weapons? Humans, like dwarves, take time to transform from an ordinary person to an elite warrior, and once the death base is too large, it is difficult to replenish good warriors. And the orcs aagh are here to make trouble, we can't let the elite soldiers die here, but we can send in new recruits and train them. ”
"Your Royal Highness, now that the three cities except Fort Arsenal have all been occupied by orcs, and all around them are full of orcs, how do you send these recruits in? Helicopter? You can't even fit your legs in there," said the High King, puzzled.
Zhang Hao saw that the Supreme King was pretending to be confused, so he said with a smile: "As a way to support the other three cities, the Arsenal Fort certainly has a way to go to the rest of the besieged cities, otherwise I think that so many military shells and soldiers are simply not something that a few helicopters can transport." ”
The Supreme King stared at Zhang Hao for a moment, and muttered helplessly, "Damn Bellega......"
"Lord Belle is just doing things according to our agreement, and His Majesty the Supreme King please don't blame him." How could Lord Belle know if Fort Junku was authentic, all of this was Zhang Hao's speculation, but it was more beneficial for the interests of the empire to blame Lord Belle and keep the two parties in a state of not being in a very harmonious state, after all, iron-clad dwarves are not so easy to talk to.
"But how do you guarantee that Grimegg will be here to train with you?" Bernos asked the key question in one sentence.
"That's why I got here from Thundering Castle." The big bargaining chips that Zhang Hao wanted to negotiate were the Green Prophet and Az Khan, both of whom were imprisoned in the vampire Duncanhof Castle and the other in the Magical Military Academy, both of whom became prisoners.
"Then let's talk about the future plan after Prince Li successfully negotiates." The High King is not used to being led by the nose all the time, but now the situation is indeed that the empire is dominating the entire continent, according to the dwarves' own intelligence, the regular troops in the empire are close to 400,000, as long as the weapons and equipment are in place, then according to the empire's pre-planned 600,000 regular troops have been completed, and the metal purchased from the dwarves is far greater than the configuration with 400,000 troops, if there is no trade agreement that clearly states that the price cannot be raised, the metal materials at this time may have to rise to sky-high prices, If you don't want to sell it, you can't resist the conditions of the empire's expulsion, in addition to a small amount of gold coins, manpower and technology, it has also opened up dozens of cities to the dwarven empire's resident authority, don't look at it as just a resident authority, but this means that the dwarves are completely free from the restrictions on the need to import brewing ingredients, you must know that these ingredients are sometimes better than gold coins, and they are also one of the most important currencies that the empire trades with dwarves all year round.
"Allow me to retire first." After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he left the big tent and flew directly to the city wall.
"Your Majesty? Use our city to train their soldiers?! Isn't it?" Bernos waited for Zhang Hao to leave and immediately asked.
"If we don't train our soldiers, the orcs won't let us go, the border prince is only a river away from them, but these stupid orcs have not committed any crimes, which shows that they want to use us as his stepping stone, it seems that Grimge's ambition is very big." The Supreme King is very worried, you say that you are at a loss when dealing with the empire, the dwarf clan has completed the unification in his hands, and he has also obtained the planting rights of wine-making ingredients that have been restricted for a hundred years (good ingredients must use good land, southern wastelands and volcanoes, stone mountains, and snow mountains, and what can be planted in the snowy mountains, and there is only some land that can be planted in the gray and black mountains, although the land of the border prince is okay, but the ruler does not care about anything, and is often attacked by the surrounding orcs, so the amount that can supply the dwarves is really not high, and the quality is not good, This wine is never enough for the dwarves, so the restriction of ingredients has always been one of the important bargaining chips of the human kingdom for the dwarves, and in the eyes of the High King, it can be compared with the feat of unifying the dwarves)
After Zhang Hao flew to the gate where Grimg was located, he hid in the shadows, not letting Grimge know the power of the city, and the negotiation would not be so easy.
"Target Giant! Or siege towers! Fire!! ”
The commander of the city gate immediately gave the order to attack after seeing that the orc troops officially began to attack the city, and all of a sudden, the artillery roared, and the dwarven affairs officer engineering masters were all ballistic experts, and with the blessing of the runes of their positions, all long-range troops would not only be blessed with 22% physical defense, but also increase 40% of the long-range armor-piercing ability, but all the blessed ones would be punished by moving, reducing the movement speed by 95%, so the dwarves were good at guarding.
"Boom! Bang!! "Huge cannonballs descend from the sky in a graceful parabola, bombarding slow-moving siege vehicles with precision, and simple siege towers are like building block toys, which can directly flatten the entire upper part with a single shot. The goblins hanging outside and the orcs in the tower screamed and were blown away, drowning in the sea of beasts.
The siege towers in the front row were destroyed in an instant, and the giants who pushed the towers immediately waved their big sticks to smash the remaining siege towers, so as not to hinder the progress of the siege towers in the back row.
