Text: The Great Power Struggle_Chapter 348
Yue Fei looked at the army of undead outside the camp, and a chill rushed up in his heart. It's the hottest time of the year, and August is very dry and hot. The scorching sun hanging in the sky did not make Yue Fei feel a little warm. The army of the undead outside the camp has gathered more and more, from about two or three hundred thousand at the beginning, to four or five million now. No one will be indifferent to such a growth rate.
The troops mobilized by Beichen Kingdom to the Western Front this time have reached more than 2.3 million, but looking at the millions of undead army opposite, Yue Fei did not dare to say that he would definitely win. Not to mention the strength of the undead army, the characteristics of the skeleton frame alone made Yue Fei's eggs shattered. Without him, there was such a group of skeleton shelves, and most of the most powerful crossbowmen in the Beichen Kingdom were directly abolished.
The straight crossbow arrows faced this group of skeleton racks, and it was obvious that they were not too lethal. At least 60 percent of the arrows fired at the enemy must pass through the gap in the middle of the skeleton shelf. And the rest is nailed to a piece of bone, and it doesn't seem to have much power. The only thing that can inflict massive damage on skeletons is the catapult. After all, the stone fired by that big guy doesn't matter if you're a skeleton or a human, in short, it's just a word, a stone to the scum of the city.
If it was just because of the characteristics of the skeleton's body, Yue Fei would not have felt cold. The Beichen army was originally equipped with a lot of bed crossbows and catapults, and when he set off, he brought some more, plus some simple trebuchets prepared in various places, he could also make up the number of five or six thousand, and he was not afraid of the sea of undead outside. However, the most important point now is that there are not enough troops.
The 2.3 million Beichen Army looks like a lot, but now most of them are scattered in various places to defend themselves, and they can't support the big camp at all. Within the large battalion, there were only less than 500,000 officers and soldiers of the Beichen Army. In the face of the army of more than five million skeletons outside, the number of 500,000 is too small, so small that the skeletons outside directly rushed up arrogantly.
Nearly a million skeleton soldiers took the lead in attacking, and countless skeletons rushed towards the camp where Yue Fei's army was. Countless white skeletons have completely turned the green land outside the camp into a white world. When the sea of bones rushed over, it was like a snow-capped mountain that had just collapsed, roaring like an avalanche.
"All army ready! The crossbowmen retreat from the camp wall, and the catapults fire shells at maximum distance! "Yue Fei's unhurried army of commanders greeted the coming war.
There's still a glimmer of chance, yes, a glimmer of it. Beichen has a large number of fire oil bombs in the country, and these undead obviously don't know about this thing. As long as they could gather outside the camp in a dense manner, Yue Fei was confident that he would burn most of them to death. The power of the oil bomb has completely become the strategic weapon of the Beichen Kingdom after the baptism of several wars in the Beichen Kingdom.
The roaring army of the undead quickly rushed to a short distance outside the camp, and at a glance, Yue Fei felt that everything in front of him was white. It was okay in the distance, although I couldn't see it very clearly, but I could see a large area of green anyway. Where is the same as now, when I open my eyes, there are white skeletons in front of me. Even the grass on the ground quickly withered after the undead stepped on it.
"Fire oil bomb launch!"
The flag officer immediately waved the small flag, and the catapult troops in the camp were greeted with a burst of flags, and the successful general order arrived.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The screaming sound made Yue Fei want to cover his ears, but for the sake of the army, he could only continue to endure the sound of thousands of jars whistling above his head. More than 2,000 boulders were quickly shot towards the catapult's farthest range. The catapults of the second echelon immediately adjusted the angle, took a step closer to the attack, and then launched the large jars made of porcelain jars one after another.
The three echelons of catapult troops, after throwing the first altar of fire and oil bombs, immediately began to prepare for the projection of the second altar. Under the projection of thousands of catapults, the continuous fire oil bombs soon covered all the land within a few hundred meters of the Beichen Army camp with a layer of fire oil. The black fire oil did not make the army of the undead rush to fear. On the contrary, they are still laughing at the humans on the other side, who actually attack with canisters filled with water. Do they think that a porcelain jar can smash a dead soul?
Obviously, the army of the undead was indeed not led by gamers, which made Yue Fei breathe a sigh of relief. Between the rise of the war in Beichen Kingdom for several years, Yue Fei can be regarded as having seen the power of players. Many players are ruthless guys, and the people of the Beacon Continent are like mustard in their eyes. It's like the big water released by the country where the sun never sets when the sun never sets.
drowned more than 2 million soldiers of the Beichen Army, which indeed caused great trouble to the Beichen Army. But that was just a trouble, and it wasn't enough to stop the Beichen Army. Compared with the casualties of the Beichen Army, the territory of the Sun Never Sets Country and the territory of Shalu Country, because of this big flood, the losses are even greater than those of the Beichen Army. This shows how ruthless the foreign players are.
Of course, the boss of his own family is a kind-hearted person, at least he can't say that it is good to the Han people. As for the people of those foreign barbarians, even if they kill too much, is that a big deal? Which king in ancient China didn't slaughter the surrounding foreign Yi first after rising strongly.
The army of the undead is the hero of the system, and that's a very good situation. Do System Heroes Know the Power of Fire Oil? I don't know! If Yue Fei hadn't seen such a large-scale use of fire oil in Beichen Kingdom, it is estimated that he would not have too much precaution against this thing. Because, in Yue Fei's cognition, the oil rarely appears, and only a small part of it will be used in the military. Like Beichen Jun, using a catapult to smash a cylinder of fire oil outside, Yue Fei saw it for the first time.
Thousands of catapults fired more than 10 pots of fire and oil bombs in just three or five minutes, which was already the best efforts of the soldiers. After that, the firing speed was much slower than before, but it didn't stop. Waves of large jars still smashed to the ground in front of the camp at a slow speed.
At this time, the army of the undead also officially entered the attack range of the crossbowmen of the Beichen Army.
From the moment their race appeared, there was only one tactic of the army of the undead, and that was the Sea of Bones tactics. It doesn't matter what's in front of you, the army of the undead just knows how to gather together and rush over in a honeycomb. Simple, convenient and fast. The strength is almost, it was directly flowed by a wave, and if it is stronger, it can be carried for a while, and if it is strong, the Sea of Skeletons will be at most a few more waves.
What Yue Fei was now facing was the Sea of Skeletons tactics noted by the army of the undead, and millions of skeletons gathered together and came to a hundred steps in front of the Beichen Army camp. Beyond the western camp wall of the camp, which is more than ten miles wide, it has completely become a white sea. In comparison, the conspicuous red color of the Beichen military camp is like a small island in the sea.
On top of a black peak in Uzbe, from a distance, this peak is all gray. Only the undead know that this is their holy place, and their king is here. The dead air above this mountain peak is very strong, and it is the best place to increase your strength. But all of this belongs to one person.
"Whew!" An earth-shattering roar spread from within the mountain peak to the nine heavens.
Then, I saw a silver-white western dragon leaping out from the top of the mountain, above the nine heavens. The dragon's hideous dragon head was crystal clear, and its whole body was covered with ice crystal-like scale armor. Two large crystal-like wings, fanning back and forth in the air. If anyone were to stand next to the dragon, they would notice that the temperature around the dragon was rapidly decreasing, and ice crystals had begun to form in the high and middle sky.
However, after the dragon flew in parallel, the dragon's head lowered slightly, only to realize that there was a man sitting on a throne on its back.
That's right, this is the king of the army of the undead, Arthas.
As Arthas sat firmly on his throne with the Frost Sorrow in his hand, it seemed as if the whole world was cut off from him, and the wind and snow covered his body. The kind of inseparable, lonely and lonely Xiao Suo, with the bleak and desolate elegy, echoes on the iceberg, just like the frozen throne standing between the ice sea.
The Frost Dragon was followed by an all-blue dragon. Both dragons were crystal clear, but if you looked closely, you could see that the frost dragon had a pitch-white keel under that thick layer of ice. And the blue dragon is indeed like a green leaf, exuding endless breath of life.
It's hard to imagine that in the entire army of the undead, there will be such a strange dragon, and it will live with the undead without incident.
The appearance of the two dragons and Arthas did not alarm the armies that were clashing hundreds of miles away.
The crossbowmen were all sent down the camp wall by Yue Fei, and here, the crossbowmen were of little use. The sharp weapons in their hands have been completely restrained by the undead, and staying here will not only have no effect, but will also add a little trouble. In this case, they might as well run to the back to rest, and let more melee troops go up to the camp wall to fend off the army of the undead.
The army of the undead rushed beneath the camp walls, ignoring the black fire oil on the ground. Instead, he looked at the five or six meters high camp wall stupidly, and there was no way to rush up. The undead also had siege weapons, but at that time, corpse catapults were specially used to deliver corpses to infect or undead all enemies in the city. But there is no such thing now, and even Arthas, the Lich King, does not have that kind of siege weapon. In the game, that thing belongs to the most powerful strategic weapon of the undead, and you don't want to think about it until the Empire.
There are many other ways to siege the city, and there are many undead, and that is magic. Bombarding with magic, there's no other way. This is also set by the system in order to restrain the undead and maintain the balance of the game. Needless to say, the human war between the Eastern and Western worlds in the whole game, only the Americas have this undead race and so on. Of these races, only the undead are the most terrifying. Their journey all the way, all the way to death, coupled with the nature of infinite assimilation, is simply a rhythm against the sky. Coupled with the huge strength advantage, if you are giving the undead a long-range heavy weapon with a fork, then other players don't have to play.
Now there is not a single one in the army of undead D who can do undead magic. Oh no, there's one, the Alsace boss would, but the boss isn't here now. A group of undead were crowded under the camp wall, and they didn't know how to climb over the camp wall. As a result, the front was blocked under the camp wall, and the back continued to be blocked to the front. If it weren't for the fact that the undead didn't have to breathe, maybe if they didn't wait for the Beichen army to attack, the undead army would be able to be wiped out by half of their own people.
Yue Fei looked at the army of undead huddled below, and he was just as dumbfounded. The rest of the officers and soldiers of the Beichen Army are not much better, after so many years of fighting, it is the first time to see such a funny enemy army. If it weren't for the physical characteristics of these undead, the crossbowmen would not have gone crazy.
Yue Fei stopped the soldiers under his command from preparing to set fire, and now was not the time. Depending on the situation, these undead have no siege weapons, and they will not attack the city, otherwise they would not be so indiscriminately crowded under the camp wall. Since they are crowding more and more, why not do it yourself. Let them squeeze more, and wait for a fire to burn more, wouldn't it be exactly what they wanted.
In less than ten minutes, the army of the undead was crowded more and more under the camp wall, and I am afraid that not a single soldier of the Beichen Army will not be able to land if he jumps down. However, Yue Fei had a strange look at the moment. Subsequently, the army was urgently ordered to set fire to the fire and ignite the oil and kerose.
There was no way, Yue Fei felt that the camp wall under his feet was shaking a little. If it hadn't been burned, I'm afraid the camp wall would have been crushed by these millions of undead.
Rocket, which is the only remaining archer unit in the Beichen Army. The straight line of the crossbow is not suitable for firing rockets, so the only ones who can work with fire oil shells are the archers.
More than 10,000 archers immediately ignited the rockets with tarpaulins wrapped around the shafts of the arrows and launched them. Ten thousand rockets flew and fell into the army of the undead, instantly igniting the fire oil that was dense beyond the camp walls.
The fire burned rapidly, and it didn't take long for it to ignite a range of hundreds of meters beyond the camp wall for more than ten miles. And the army of the undead, not to mention two or three million people crowded here, suddenly turned into fire skeletons one by one. The bones that have been dry all year round are dotted with a large amount of silver, thus forming the first white phosphorus incendiary bomb in the Beacon Fire Continent.
Maybe the power of fire oil is not very great, but with the addition of white phosphorus, it is simply not something that can be extinguished by manpower.
Except for the 30-meter area of the camp wall, which was not ignited by white phosphorus incendiary bombs, flames several meters high rose in the area of the next hundreds of meters. The fire belt more than ten miles long and one mile wide made the first confrontation between the Beichen army and the undead army instantly divide the victory and defeat.
