Chapter 374: The Battle Begins
The gate Meng Kang saw last time was just a simple defense of the outermost part of the Centaur Tribe, and there was no one living there, so Meng Kang and the others easily stepped over the abandoned and undefended wall to the real gate of the Centaur Tribe.
Standing in front of the door of the centaur tribe, Meng Kang didn't say anything.
Again, he is not the protagonist in this battle, this is different from the city war, NPCs cannot be resurrected, and Meng Kang's strategy may not be suitable.
After all, Meng Kang has not commanded a battle between NPCs and NPCs, at least Meng Kang will not command until he sees the fighting mentality of both sides and the level of desperateness.
looked at several high-ranking officials of the mechanical tribe around him, especially Bai Qiu, this civilian official also came to the battlefield, at this time he was no longer a weak civilian official, but a military advisor who commanded the battle.
Bai Qiu looked at the centaur fortifications.
Centaurs don't like to build fortifications by themselves, and generally go to other races to plunder labor and materials, and force outsiders such as engineers who are good at construction to design them, and then they oversee the construction and let the labor build them.
The whole process of centaurs almost does not need to spend any energy, only need to plunder and oppress as usual, therefore, the fortifications of the centaur clan are a bit exaggerated, the place surrounded by mountains on three sides does not need to make any changes, just establish a defensive barrier, only the front facing the grassland of this place is to build fortifications, originally a small tribe of only tens of thousands of people, but here is the use of a ten-meter-high city wall, the city walls are made of boulders, very thick, the city gate is not solid wood, but cast iron.
Pig iron is strong, but it is a bit brittle, and sometimes it breaks due to greater force, but pig iron up to one meter thick is a different story.
On the city wall, there have been a number of centaurs who heard the sound, they looked at the centaurs outside a little angry, they have always taken the initiative to attack other tribes, this is the first time someone has come to attack their tribe, they are not very good at defense, they prefer to rush to kill, but there are too many enemies, when the number of clansmen does not reach a certain point, they can only defend.
After the centaurs came out, the first thing they did was shouted from the city wall by some prestige people, "You are from the mechanical tribe, do you have something to do with our centaur tribe?" β
Bai Qiu looked at the screws, the screws nodded, Bai Qiu took two steps forward and shouted to the people on the city wall: "Centaurs, you livestock have not harassed us less in the past few days, and also killed several of our clansmen, after we have discussed, we think that we need to avenge those clansmen, and today we are here to slaughter your territory and sacrifice the heavenly spirits of our people." β
Centaurs couldn't help but twitch when they heard Bai Qiu's words, is there a mistake, this reason can also be figured out, what kind of garbage reason is this, for one or two people to slaughter their tribe, who would believe this bullshit lie, the centaur just wanted to continue to say something, when he heard Bai Qiu below "oops".
"Oops, brothers, it's not good, this cunning centaur is deliberately delaying time and waiting for their men to prepare for defense, we can't be fooled, rush!"
Bai Qiu immediately gave the order to charge, and all the military attachΓ©s rushed out with their men and horses according to the plan, attacking in different directions.
The centaur originally wanted to expose Bai Qiu's shameless lie, but he didn't expect that before he could continue to speak, the other party launched an attack and immediately hurriedly organized a defense.
"Archers prepare."
Crunch~
The centaur archers pulled their bows and arrows up, watching the centaur chief's gestures and waiting for the order to release the arrows.
After seeing the mirage next to Meng Kang, he used the skill next to Meng Kang, and Meng Kang saw the red skill light effect appear, but he didn't know what skill the demon mirage was using.
The centaur officer is an old fritter in his fifties, very experienced in combat, he is waiting for the team of the mechanical tribe and the Nantes barbarians to reach a suitable distance before ordering archery, he knows the speed of the mechanical tribe's charge, but today it seems that the speed of the mechanical tribe's charge is more than twice as fast, so he set his eyes on the Nantes barbarians who have never been seen before in the mechanical tribe, and thought that this race is a race with auxiliary functions, and it uses acceleration skills.
However, even if you increase your speed, you can't beat the speed at which the bow and arrow fall.
Seeing that the people of the mechanical tribe rushed to the ideal distance at super-fast speed, the centaur officer waved his hand and gave the order to release the arrows.
I saw the centaur archer beside him flutter for a moment, and wanted to say something, but the centaur officer didn't see a single arrow released after giving the order, and immediately shouted angrily: "Hurry up and release the arrow, hurry up, why don't you listen to the command, it's too late." β
Those centaur archers don't know why, look at the mechanical soldiers who are still out of range, they are very confused, although they are not commanders, they also have some experience, now it is a wrong decision to release arrows, but, the commander has spoken, so let it go.
So one of the centaur archers unleashed his arrows, which carried Lixiao into the air and then fell down on the empty meadow.
Someone took the lead, and the other centaur archers let go of their hands and let the arrows fly.
Without exception, they all fell into the clearing.
A few military attaches of the mechanical tribe looked at the open space they hadn't yet arrived at with a lot of arrows, and they were a little confused, what kind of play is this, is that commander a novice, is it a command who relies on relationships, isn't it a waste?
However, what the centaur officer saw in his own eyes was that countless mechanical tribesmen were killed by falling bows and arrows, nailed to the ground, and his face flushed and ordered: "Hurry up, keep shooting, shoot three waves in a row." β
The centaur archers had no choice but to fire three waves of arrows in a hurry as their officers saw a threat they could not see in the empty clearing.
Sticking into the ground, the people of the mechanical tribe stopped for a moment to look at the people on the city wall when they were out of range of their bows and arrows, and saw that they were continuing to draw arrows from their quivers for the next attack, and immediately rushed over at a faster speed.
At this time, it should be ready for the next wave of bow and arrow attacks, but no.
The centaur officer nodded excitedly and said, "Very good, very good, the other party is really rubbish, those guys are already half dead, and they have been beaten and started to retreat." β
The centaur next to him finally found out that something was wrong, what his chief said seemed to be completely different from what they saw, could it be that he had been hit by some trick, so he wanted the priest and the mage to use their skills to clean up their chief, and shouted: "Priest!" β
Calling out the name of a profession before saying what to do, from below, a demon appeared under the walls without knowing what, and the bow and arrow came from the bottom up, from the Adam's apple under the centaur, protruding from the back of the neck, blocking the rest of the words.
Meng Kang looked around, it seemed that there was a demon like Sanqi who could teleport the people around him to a distant place.
Perfect match, the centaur officer was used by the mirage and saw some phantoms, because he wanted to make meritorious service too much, and he wanted to kill the attacking enemy too much, so the flaws in the phantoms were not seen, and they were all in that illusion.
Mirage often uses skills that can confuse others in battle, as if it can interfere with the spirit, so that the enemy can see the picture he designed, and he himself will do other things to kill the enemy.
Meng Kang had been following the team, until now he and other mechanical tribesmen, as well as the Nantes barbarians, had not yet made a move, but with the cooperation of several demons, they rushed to the city wall safely and unharmed.
This time the centaur ignored the commander's order, and immediately shot arrows, and the arrows rained down one after another, and the knight at the front used his shield to put his head to block the falling arrow rain, rushed to the city wall, and began to take out the props used to climb the city wall from his backpack, and began to climb to the top.
There are some arrows that are not blocked by the shield, and they are shot on the body of the mechanical tribe or the Nantes barbarians, knocking their health down, one or two bows and arrows are not a problem, and the priest who follows can be treated immediately, but there are one or two super unlucky ones, who were shot at the same time by more than a dozen arrows with skills, and died directly without even giving the priest a chance to heal.
The corpse fell to the ground, and the people behind were kind, so they dodged the corpse and continued to charge, and some didn't care and stepped on the corpse directly.
Meng Kang is by the side of the screw in the team, the screw does not need to charge in front, he is the highest combat power in this team, he only makes a move when he meets the centaur patriarch in the back, this is the time when his subordinates should fight, he will not do anything.
Of course, this is the meaning of the mechanical clan, if it is commanded by Meng Kang, it must be a high-power person who first rushed to the city wall to break through the defensive circle, and then the other people swarmed and further tore the defensive circle with loopholes.
NPCs have a kind of dignity that players don't understand, it's about the dignity of the king and the patriarch, and the patriarch personally deals with the pawns, which is detrimental to dignity, this is a boring idea, but Meng Kang can't change it, so he has to comply.
Under the rain of arrows, the screw directly summoned a shield, enveloping Meng Kang and himself underneath, and the arrows falling from the air would not penetrate this shield, but would return to kill the archer who had just shot it out with greater speed and greater force.
This is the strength of the head of the clan, not the weak guy in his thirties that Meng Kang saw before, the screw is already the big man with the highest combat power among the NPCs that Meng Kang knows.
The demon's skills were not noticed by other people.,Screw is noticing.,Looking at these skills that have some impressions.,Screw tried hard to recall.,This seems to be a memory in his father's inheritance.,But the memory of these skills is already vague and can't be seen clearly.,I can't remember it for a while.γ
The time of the demons has long passed, and no one remembers that war that happened so quickly and ended so quickly that not many historical books have recorded it.
The demon just used so many skills and didn't shoot again, he always stayed at the back of the team with Meng Kang, they didn't like this kind of boring siege, they needed to keep climbing up to try to rush in and open the city gate, they liked to kill and torture directly face to face.
The role they played was already obvious, after a technical cooperation of theirs, the other party could no longer trust their officer, it was impossible to continue to obey the officer's command, and the officer was now in a daze, just now he had obviously killed half of the enemy, but how could there be no few corpses on the ground in the blink of an eye.
The centaurs began to fight on their own, and their defenses were a little sloppy, so they could climb the walls as long as they could.
It turned out that the centaur fortifications were really well done, even without effective command, the centaurs who fought separately kept designing bows and arrows in their hands, and at the same time groping with their hands on the boulder walls, the climbing mechanical people and the Nantes barbarians' chests suddenly turned over, and there were a lot of iron spikes, like spears, and at three-quarters of the height of the city walls was a whole row, and the spears pierced out of the people in that position were pierced, although this was just an ordinary spear.
The attack power is not enough to kill them directly, but those iron spikes have a special effect, directly stabbing the attackers through the air, and they can't break away for the time being, and the other centaurs immediately attack, killing these few people who have lost their health.
The people behind were also unable to continue climbing because of the influence of the iron spikes in front of them, so they had to temporarily stop and use their attacks to smash these iron spikes one by one before they could continue to move forward.
The speed of the attack immediately slowed down.
Meng Kang's eyes lit up when he saw this defensive design, this is really good, he can learn to use it in his main city, this is such a long row of organs, how much manpower is needed to make it, Meng Kang couldn't help but admire.
The screw really can't stand it, but the people who died one by one on it are their own people, the Nantes barbarians have fewer people, and the combat power that comes out is even less, only one-third of the mechanical clan, and the screw doesn't care about the dignity of those people, and attacked, and swept off the iron thorns within a range of about ten meters with one blow.
After a few attacks, there was enough space to be created.
This time the centaurs have no choice, the combat power of the screw is too strong, the screw just finished this and wanted to stop, Meng Kang instigated by his side, "Since you attacked, then directly break this defensive circle, then there will be fewer dead clansmen, who knows if there are other mechanisms in this city wall, it is better to deal with it as soon as possible." β
The screw's body that was about to stop continued to move, and he left Meng Kang's side and appeared directly on the ten-meter-high city wall in a flash, killing in a big way.
As for Meng Kang, his originally smug expression immediately turned into a hurry when he saw the bow and arrows in the air falling towards him without a protective shield, and he used the void to escape into the ground to temporarily avoid the rain of arrows, and walked towards a place where few bows and arrows sounded like they fell.
