Chapter 526: The strong insertion of the army of the undead
The siege organized by the Chieftain of the Brute Axe ended in defeat without surprisingly.
As the commander of the Terran garrison, Joseph relied on the height of the city wall to successfully defeat the barbarian catapults outside the city with the catapults arranged on the city walls. Moreover, compared with the craftsmen of the Terran side of the city defending, the barbarian craftsmen who besieged the city were very ineffective. In terms of the speed at which they assemble and craft ordnance, the barbarian craftsmen are far inferior to those of the Terrans.
Of course, in general, the barbarian side still has the advantage. Compared to the Terrans, who consume no resources at all, the barbarians who occupy the outside of the city are inexhaustible in terms of both the wood used to build the catapult and the stones thrown by the catapult. On the other hand, the human race, although it has not reached the point of demolishing the firewood beams of the house, if it wants to persist for half a month, sooner or later, the buildings in the city will be demolished due to lack of resources.
Seeing the defeat of the first wave of siege battles aimed at the sharpness of the wrong human race, the Brute Axe Chief had already given up his plans to storm onslaught. Instead, relying on the superiority of military strength, they began to harass the Terran army defending the city all the time.
Under the attack of this tactic of 'you eat, I will fight you', 'you rest, I will fight you', 'you sleep, I still hit you', the morale of the Terran defenders gradually entered a slump.
After two days of fighting, Joseph tried to prevent his troops from collapsing in the constant attacks of the enemy. I had no choice but to use the tactic of 'indiscriminately filling the numbers' to quietly reduce troops to achieve the effect of rotation and rest.
This tactic deceived the barbarian chieftain for two days. It wasn't until the sorcerer of the tribe came out and detected with the help of the falcon's eyesight that the wild axe discovered that he had been used as a monkey for two days. The brute axe, which was crushed by the enemy in terms of intelligence, suddenly became angry and organized a wave of intense siege again at the moment when the wizard revealed the truth.
The tactic of indiscriminate refilling has undoubtedly been a great success. This siege was again thwarted by Joseph because the Terran defenders had all had a good rest. The brute axe, who is very unwilling to do this, is of course thinking about how to retaliate all the time.
After thinking about it, the brutal axe found that there were no tactics, and it was more effective than the previous continuous harassment. Having learned the lessons of his previous failures, the Brutex decided to wait two more days for this tactic to come into play and deal a fatal blow to the Terran defenders.
Unfortunately, the plan of the wild axe had just begun, and it was disrupted by an uninvited guest a day later.
This uninvited guest was none other than the cavalry corps that burned down the barbarian valley camp and then cleared the barbarian grass valley troops.
In the face of such a divine army, the brute axe was confused at first. However, the brute axe, which quickly adjusted his state, showed a bloodthirsty smile. He is undoubtedly better at field battles than siege warfare.
Although he had lost a lot of troops due to a sneak attack before, these losses were still within his acceptable range. Moreover, he was prepared to sacrifice more troops in order to slow down the enemy's cavalry and limit their mobility.
However, the commander of the cavalry corps obviously did not give the brute axe this opportunity, and the entire cavalry actually played an assassin-like effect in his hands - one blow would kill, and it was thousands of miles away.
It's been a long time since I've encountered such a cunning enemy's brute axe, and there is a trace of astonishment on my face. He seemed to go back to the days when he followed his father to hunt wolves for the first time, and the guys on the other side reminded him of that dusty memory.
It was one of his most precious memories, and the first time he was close to death.
At that time, when he was young, he and his father did not encounter the scene of "one wolf in front, one wolf in the hole" in "Three Rules of Wolves", but encountered a whole wolf pack. Compared to the three or two wolves that hunt, the tactics of the wolf pack are more ferocious and cunning. Although they are greedy, they have become very obedient under the command of the wolf leader. Yes, they don't need reason, they just need to know how to fear the authority of their leaders.
The cavalry corps in front of him was like a greedy and ferocious wolf pack, tearing off a piece of his 'meat' and hanging them from a distance. They're waiting for the next moment, and they'll pounce on them again.
In the face of such an enemy, the brute axe suppressed the suffocation in his chest and decided to brake quietly. When you find the right opportunity to drag them into the quagmire of war, you can use the wolf cavalry, which is slightly inferior to them, to hunt them down.
It's a contest of patience and perseverance. In the end, both sides are losers, because the woman hiding in the city has already made a move.
Slightly different from what Zhou Xuan and Allen had guessed before, this woman did not take the lead in using the living dead in the city. Rather, it is to resurrect the corpses of the barbarian army killed in battle outside the city. She chose a clever time to resurrect, as it was the second time that the Terran cavalry legion had dug into the barbarian forces.
The sudden rise of the dead body not only frightened the barbarians, but also frightened the horses of the human cavalry legion for a while.
Compared with ordinary soldiers, although the commanders of both sides were also shocked by this strange change, their excellent qualities allowed them to stabilize the morale of the army for the first time. Unfortunately, under the fear, the troops on both sides had a handful of soldiers who could not calm down. After all, the sudden resurrection of the dead, or the resurrection under their noses, is difficult for most people to accept.
Fear can lead people to flee and they can also make people attack. This time, a mysterious woman with a 'rosemary' wrist tattoo intervened, and the battle suddenly turned into a scuffle.
In the face of this melee, the brute axe did not give the order at the first time, and the commander of the same cavalry corps did not act rashly. Because they are watching, they are watching that side is the strongest.
Compared to the Terran cavalry caught in the quagmire of melee, the resurrected 'kindred' is more threatening in the eyes of the brute axe. Because, as the melee intensifies, new living people are constantly falling. To his creep, the newly fallen living people soon turned into ghostly soldiers and attacked the living.
Looking at the growing army of the undead, the Brute Axe and the Terran cavalry commander invariably chose to issue an order to attack these undead.
It's a pity that their order was issued a little late. Because, after that, they discovered an unbelievable truth. With the tacit understanding of the two parties joining forces, those undead were eaten away by the barbarian 'coalition army' at first. Unfortunately, these people are too optimistic, and this resurrected undead army is just a decoy.
With the resurrection of soldiers dressed in the armor of ancient dynasties, both sides are in great trouble and conspiracy.
The army of the dead crawled out of the ground little by little, like a crumbling bean, and gathered into an unbelievable force of the dead.
Finding that the periphery of the melee was crowded with dense dead soldiers, Rao's bloodthirsty and tyrannical brute axe gasped.
However, at this time, Zhou Xuanju, who was still hidden in the city, injured the two of them, but through Allen's surveillance magic, they judged the melee outside.
"Allen, the necromancy of the black hand is a bit interesting, you see that the undead they summoned have the strength of their lifetime."
Regarding Zhou's praise for the injury, Alan pouted and said: "The angle of the necromancy they developed is tricky, and it does not extend in the direction of orthodox undead transformation, but plays a little trick in the study of corpse puppets." ”
