Chapter 341: The Power of the Cannon

Woo~~~! Woo~~~! Woo~~~!

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

The sound of trumpets and drums resounded in the sky, and a dark cloud rolled over at the end of the earth.

Zhao Hu, who was leaning on the ruined battlements, licked his chapped lips, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What is the first wave?" ”

"This is the seventeenth wave!" The Blue God King rubbed his stubble chin and sighed, "These orcs really don't know how to write dead characters!" It's only the first day! They've already folded nearly 7,000 soldiers and horses, right!? Even the crowd tactics are not very playable! ”

Today is the twenty-second day of Murong Feng's retreat.

In the early morning, the orc army gathered under the fortress and immediately launched the first wave of offensive warfare. There was no tentative attack, and it was a general attack of the three armies like a black cloud.

Then the tens of thousands of vanguard armies of the orcs were bombarded by more than a dozen large-caliber cannons set up on the top of the city, and even their mothers didn't know them!

The orc army with a dense phalanx is simply the best live target, and those soldiers who control the cannon don't even need to calculate the impact point of the projectile, just blast it to death. Often a single shot can kill dozens or hundreds of people! That damage is literally tons and tons pouring down on the orc's army!

And the demon legion in charge of air support this time is no longer an elven magician, but a dense anti-aircraft fire!

In the end, this farcical siege battle ended with the orc army being the first to be defeated, and the demon army was unable to support it alone.

Zhao Hu and the others originally thought that the orc army would definitely be stunned after this battle, and they would have to rest for at least a few days before they could rebuild their morale and fight again. But he didn't expect that the kung fu orc army, which was only separated by less than a cup of tea, gathered again and launched an attack on the city. It's just that this time, people have eaten a trench and become wise and obedient, and they have not put up a dense phalanx again. Instead, they switched to a loose straggler formation, broke through the death zone of the cannons, and successfully rushed to the city, regardless of casualties.

Then it was harvested by the dense machine gun matrix at the head of the city

In less than an hour before and after the two battles, the army of orcs left more than 2,000 mutilated corpses under the fortress of Mora Pass, and returned defeated. The blood that flowed almost stained the earth red.

It was only then that the joint command of the orc army really realized that the people who were now stationed at the head of the city were not the rabble they used to be. It is impossible to capture this fortress with inherent combat experience alone. So the orcs immediately changed their siege strategy. Every time, some cannon fodder was sent to the death with heavy thunder and small rain, hoping to deliberately consume the shells of the defenders of the fortress.

At first, the defenders of the fortress did not fire in order to save shells, but easily repelled the attacks of the orcs with a machine gun matrix.

But he didn't expect the orc army to learn smart again after repeated setbacks, and several big demons joined forces to cast a blinding spell to cover the attacking army with a black cloud, so that the defenders at the head of the fortress city could not see their reality clearly, and could only beat blindly with a black eye. The point is, you can't tell how many orcs have sent to attack the city this time. There are fewer comings, and you are simply wasting ammunition by firing artillery. But in case someone really comes out of the nest, wait until you find out before firing. It is estimated that the orc army has already rushed to the bottom of the city wall.

But soon, the defenders of the fortress came up with a new countermeasure - laying mines!

Well, it's a very uncreative, but definitely effective solution. The only problem was that if the orc army was defeated, the defenders of the fortress would not be able to pursue and expand the fruits of victory.

The two sides went back and forth from early morning to evening, and the orc armies went back and forth, launching a total of sixteen siege battles. Three of them actually came out of the nest, and the brave orc berserkers and the flying demons almost captured the fortress several times! But they were all repelled by the fierce players and the fierce elven magicians!

Now the Orc Joint Command has taken advantage of the fact that it is not yet dark to launch the seventeenth siege battle again! The players of the three major guilds who had been fighting for nearly a day were all bitter. On the contrary, the morale of the tens of thousands of players in the external formation group under the command of the Burning Legion is high, mainly because the battle reward set by Murong Feng at the beginning is very rich, even the players of the external formation group can be rewarded with a few hundred gold coins after a fierce battle in a day, how can this not make them not excited! At this moment, in the eyes of the players of these external groups. The orc army is not here to attack the city, but to send money again.

"Drop mines!" Zhao Hu shouted hoarsely, "Brothers, hold on a little longer." This should be the last wave of the orcs today. After the fight, you can rest. ”

Bang bang! With dozens of muffled sounds in a row, hundreds of fist-sized anti-infantry mines were thrown out and scattered on the blood-stained ground, these mines will not explode after landing, but will automatically lurk in the ground and wait for the enemy to walk by, then they will suddenly jump up and explode in all directions, and countless shrapnel will explode in all directions. The orc army has repeatedly attacked, but they have suffered enough from these little things. And nearly half of the 7,000 men and horses that were lost were killed by small things.

As soon as the defenders of the fortress once again threw those terrifying little black dots into the ground, the orc army immediately weakened this offensive. There are still quite a few orc warriors who are already hesitating. There is no way, the lethality of landmines is secondary, the key is that the psychological shadow caused to people is too serious. Because no matter who knows that there is a minefield in front of him, and still dares to rush forward, he is definitely either a madman or a fool. But anyone with a little normal thinking will have weak legs and stomachs.

As the clouds rolled into the minefield, there were several loud noises and howls inside. The defenders of the city, who had already fought the battle, were even able to judge the scale of the enemy's attack by the frequency of mine explosions and the screams of the orc warriors after being hit.

Zhao Hu shrank behind the female wall and listened for a while, and quietly ordered the liaison officer beside him: "Let the artillery come and have a few heats." ”

"Understood." The liaison nodded with a wicked smile on his face, and then passed the order on.

After more than a dozen breaths, several fortress cannons on the head of the city suddenly roared in unison, spitting out long tongues of flame!

A few kilometers away, in the dark clouds, a few bursts of fire immediately rose into the sky!

The shock wave from the explosion instantly tore through the dark clouds, revealing the mess everywhere.

"Hey! I guessed it! Zhao Hu sneered. Immediately shouted: "The artillery is full fire!" Fuck it! ”

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

More than a dozen huge cannons on the top of the city were fired in unison. The players on the head of the earthquake city have to lean on the battlements to stand firm.

"President! The walls are running out! The recoil of these fortress cannons is just too ferocious! Firing the cannon together will knock the walls down! ”

"Ceasefire! Cease fire! Cease fire! Don't! Those orcs retreated! ”

"Hahahaha! It's fucking fun! I've upgraded again! ”

"Don't howl. Hurry up and get out of the way, let Lao Tzu take advantage of the heat! ”

"Go, go, the orcs are gone, and you still shoot hair! Don't make a fuss, the people from the Star Guild are coming up. ”

Bright Xingchen and a few henchmen quickly climbed up to the city and came to Zhao Hu's side, stepped on his feet and looked over: "The cannons on the city just now hit so fiercely, did those orcs move again?" ”

"yes!" Zhao Hu took out a water bottle and poured a mouthful of moistened throat, saying, "I doubt that these guys' brains are full of muscles!" This is the first time. If you haven't learned a lesson, you have to rush up and die! ”

"It's better for the enemy to be stupid than to be smart." Bright Star smiled, "Okay, you two go down and rest." I'll let you know as soon as there's anything going on. ”

Zhao Hu and the Jialan God King nodded, and led their subordinates to turn around and go down the city. At the same time, the players of the Stellar Guild and the veterans of the Burning Legion began to replace the players who had been fighting for a day to defend the city. After all, it's much harder to defend at night than during the day. The Supreme Five-member Council unanimously decided that the orc armies would launch a sneak attack at night. That's why the two strongest teams were left for the night to defend the city!

At the same time, the 'Moon Fairy Goddess' also appeared under the city at the right time to express cordial condolences to those players who retreated, and suddenly made this group of tired players excited one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they all expressed their potential to live and die with the fortress!

Zhao Hu saw that the effect of boosting morale had been achieved, and he was afraid that the players would see the flaws, so he hurriedly dragged the Moon Immortal Goddess, who was unwilling to leave, back to the fortress fortress on the grounds of discussing the plan.

"Ouch, my little aunt, are you addicted to acting?" Zhao Hu said profusely.

"Hmph. I didn't put on this show for you. Those people outside have long had no intention of fighting. If you let me play a little more condolences, will I die? Lilith, who had changed back to her little Lori appearance, pouted, snorted arrogantly and shook her head and left. Leaving Zhao Hu and Jialan God King, where are the two big men smiling bitterly.

The two returned to the command hall. I saw that Lin Lin and a few assistants were discussing the mobilization of combat readiness materials with Ling Feng, the head of the logistics regiment. Several Burning Legion officers gathered around Qin Meng and debated fiercely about the battle plan in front of a magical projection sand table.

Zhao Hu, who looked tired, stepped forward to greet a few people, walked to the bench on the side, lay down, chose the hang-up mode, and quit the game. Then he called Su Yao as usual to ask if Murong Feng had been out of customs, and after getting the same disappointing reply, Zhao Hu could only sigh lightly, went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into dry clothes, and then went out of the apartment, went downstairs, went to the street, and ordered a big bowl of beef ramen from a noodle shop that looked like it was a little old. Who would have thought that the second young master of the dignified Zhao family would actually come to such a small shop to eat noodles.

Zhao Hu was snoring the hot and spicy beef noodle soup with his head down, and suddenly heard several young people at the adjacent table also discussing the things in the legend of the Star Sword while eating.

"Alas! Today Lao Tzu hung up three times! Now there's no way to level up in the wild! ”

"You've only hung up three times, and I even blew up my blue weapon today. I'm so! Who did we casual players provoke, how dare a guild bully us! ”

"Alas! It's still good when Fengqilou was there before! At the very least, those big guild players don't dare to kill people casually! Look at it now, the entire Jinghu Basin is in chaos. ”

"Why don't we go to the elven territory? I heard a colleague of mine say that Fengqilou has already set up another hill over there. The original Star Guild and Jialan Guild both went there to develop. ”

"I want to go too! But the question is how? Now the price of going through the teleportation array to Norda has increased to 300 gold coins once! It is estimated that just a few of us sold all our belongings, and we couldn't make up enough for 300 gold coins. And walking the mountain road, it is estimated that halfway through the road will be hung back by those powerful monsters in minutes. ”

"Alas! Don't talk about it! Eat noodles, eat noodles, after eating, take a few brothers with me to the frost fortress to see, I heard that the monster siege rewards there are quite rich, and there are NPC heavy guards. No one should dare to PK casually there! ”

"Who knows! Don't you see that there are often red-eyed players outside in the base now, and even NPC guards dare to attack? ”

"Alas!!" Several of them shook their heads sadly and sighed, and then continued to bow their heads and snort the noodle soup.

Zhao Hu quietly finished eating the noodle soup, paid the money, turned around and left the noodle shop and returned to the apartment to log in to the game. Seeing that Ling Feng was still there, he took the initiative to step forward and greet, "Is Thunder free?" I'd like to discuss something with you! ”

"Why did Brother Tiger come back soon? Don't go offline and take a break for a while? Ling Feng smiled: "What's the matter?" Say it! ”

"More than 100,000 troops outside the city are pressing, how can I have this leisure to rest." Zhao Hu quipped, turned to the topic and said: "Just now I was eating out and met a few scattered players who complained that there was no way to stay in the Jinghu Basin, and there were wars everywhere. Those casual players are often inexplicably drawn into battles even when they go out to practice a level. I wondered if I should send a few boats back to the Mirror Lake Basin to bring the scattered players who had nowhere to go? ”

"Brother Tiger, this is a good idea! I'm for it! A voice rang out behind the two. Zhao Hu turned around and found that it was the Jialan God King, so he was surprised: "Haven't you gone offline yet?" ”

"I just came up, I ate a little and came back." The Blue God King walked to the side, pulled a chair and sat down, and said seriously, "I personally think that if this matter works well, it will be a great opportunity to buy people's hearts. If the Moon Shadow Boss had been here, he would have agreed to the proposal. ”

Ling Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised with a smile: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being Brother Tiger, and everything he does is far-sighted!" ”

Zhao Hu smiled awkwardly, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu didn't think that far. It's just that when I see the miserable situation of those scattered players, I can't help but think of the hard times I used to have in various games. Anyway, now that I'm going to have a foundation, I can naturally help those casual players.

"Come on, come on, I'll do this. Let's sum it up together. The Blue God King said with a smile. Such a prestige cannot be missed in vain.

"What are you going to do?" Another voice rang out. The three of them turned around and found that it was a bright star.

"Didn't you keep watch at the head of the city? What's going on? The Blue God King's tone was unpleasant.

"Just received a report from a scout, the orc army has retreated fifty miles and is encamping. The Burning Legion men were debating the city over whether or not to have a night raid. I interjected, and then I was kicked off. Bright Star said helplessly.

The three of them immediately laughed when they heard this.

"What did you say?"

Bright Star shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just said, 'Don't forget how the Moon Immortal Goddess took this place in the first place, we'd better prevent those orcs from coming to do the same, so it's imperative to guard the fortress and fortress so that the enemy doesn't sneak in.'" ’”

Zhao Hu frowned and said, "Your proposal is very pertinent!" Why were you kicked back? Don't those people listen to you? ”

Bright Star also found a chair to sit down, and relaxed, "They said I thought too much. Control of the Fortress's central core is now in the hands of the Lunaris Boss. Outsiders trying to get close to the central control room will definitely trigger an endless stream of alarms, and it is estimated that they don't know how to die. I'm right to think about it, but don't stay there and be embarrassed. After all, when it comes to commanding and fighting wars, we are indeed not this piece of material. ”

Di - !!

Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded!

"Alert! Discover an unknown enemy invading the inside of the fortress! The fortress's internal defenses have been activated! ”

With a bang, none of the bright stars sat down and fell directly to the ground. The other three suddenly got up and drew their sidearms one after another! (To be continued......)
