Chapter 563: Thinking Inertia Harms People

The wolf cavalry under the walls of Ciric City suddenly noticed that the earthy yellow light no longer appeared on the walls they had chopped down, and repaired the damage they had caused. Previously, the pesky light had hindered their destruction.

"Boom—" Half a minute after the Mage Tower gave up on repairing the walls, most of the walls on all sides of Cirek City collapsed. Sure enough, if it weren't for the magic to maintain it, the walls would be no different from tofu in front of the flaming catapults and wolf cavalry.

However, the wolf cavalry who were excited to bring down the city wall were all cold when they saw the scene behind the collapsed city wall. In front of them were not the panicked, scattered humans or desperate counterattacks, but elite troops lined up with cold light from their weapons.

In addition, on the heads of the wolf cavalry, fireballs and wind blades also fell. In the ruins of the city wall they were crossing, a large number of earth thorns also appeared, stabbing fiercely into the abdomen of the giant wolf under the wolf cavalry.

Originally, according to the intention of Paramount and other officers, it was to let the magicians deal with the wolf cavalry that stormed the city wall first, and then let the human troops calmly leave the city. However, Yu Fei did not agree with this approach, and after stopping them, he ordered the mage group to follow their own way.

The strongest of the mages of the New Fourth Army is only the Firmament level, so after the integration of the army in Ciric City, he also chose to obey Yu Fei, a legendary-level master with the title of Earl of the Empire. Mage.

In Yu Fei's mind, if only the four gates of Ciric City were to be relied upon, it would definitely be a difficult thing for the more than 300,000 troops in the city to go out of the city to fight the orcs. Know the way. At that time, when entering the city. It took several hours for the more than 300,000 troops to fully enter the city.

That's the case. It's better to let those wolf cavalry directly cut down the city wall, anyway, I was ready to give up guarding the city wall, and it doesn't matter if the city wall is intact or in ruins and the battle afterward.

As for the other orc troops that will come up at this time, there is no need to worry. Looking at the current situation, it is clear that the other orcs in the rear did not expect that Ciric City would suddenly give up repairing the city walls, so that when the wolf cavalry broke the city walls, most of the orcs were stunned or cheered, and no one thought that they should rush over immediately.

And this delay allowed the human troops to rush out of Ciric City completely and quickly. As for the werewolves standing on the ruins of the city walls, they were quickly reduced to ashes under the impact of magic and hundreds of thousands of troops. When dealing with human soldiers. The wolf cavalry, on the contrary, was not as sharp as when it attacked the city walls.

The orcs would never have imagined that the defenders of Cirek would voluntarily abandon the walls in order to fight them in the field. After many wars with humans in the past, the orcs have also formed an inertia in their thinking, that is, humans must rely on the walls to fight them.

The human side, which came out of this inertia of thinking, naturally took the lead in this way. The large army of orcs was still waiting for the burning catapults and wolf cavalry to work hard for a while longer, and then rush in after breaking through the walls, so they did not line up.

It wasn't until there was only a helmet reflecting the luster left in the eyes of the orcs in the front row, and the human troops had already bullied them less than three hundred meters in front of them, that the orcs finally reacted.

Fortunately, although the formation is scattered. But the basic distribution of the orcs has not been disrupted. The orcs at the front are all strong and thick-skinned guys like the Minotaurs. After that, there will be a large number of green-skinned orc infantry, so that they will not be scattered by the human side.

The minotaur in the front row almost simultaneously picked up the totem pole that was originally on the ground, hugged it horizontally, and connected it with the totem poles of the other minotaurs around him.

At the forefront of the human forces rushing out of Cirek City were cavalry, and after a nearly kilometer sprint, they possessed the potential energy that even the minotaurs whose individual strength far surpassed them had to deal with it carefully.

However, this move of the Minotaurs should have been extremely correct, and the totem poles were connected together and held by the Minotaurs in the front row, which was equivalent to a makeshift simple wooden wall, which could contain the charge of the human cavalry.

However, the first wave of human attacks was not brought by these cavalry, but from the mage tower in the city of Cirek, whose walls had collapsed.

Originally, it was impossible for the mages in Ciric City to have such a long range to attack orcs thousands of miles away. Even a mage tower that relies on pooling energy to increase its range is unlikely to be able to cast magic from such a distance. However, this impossibility, after Yu Fei participated in the operation of the Mage Tower, turned from impossible to affirmation.

In fact, Yu Fei didn't need to do much, and the magic power to cast war magic was all contributed by other magicians in the mage tower. All he did was to use his powerful spiritual power combined with the circuits in the mage tower to turn these gathered energies into formed spells and guide them to the position he wanted to attack.

How far can Yu Fei's spiritual power extend? Even if you just use this elf king clone, if you cover it with a carpet, you can clearly investigate the place with yourself as the center of the circle within a radius of ten kilometers. Just stretching in one direction, capable of reaching hundreds of kilometers.

It's just that the accumulated mana will be significantly weakened after being channeled out of a kilometer, and if you want to form a spell from the magic gathered here in Cirek City hundreds of kilometers away, causing an effect similar to a missile, it is impossible.

But it was this one-kilometer distance that had weakened the magic a little, but it made the minotaurs suffer a big loss.

As with the wolf cavalry before, the minotaur faced more than just a two-way magical attack. Rather, there are both top-down, front-back, and bottom-up all-out strikes.

Within the scope of Yu Fei's spiritual power, he could clearly see that after countless sharp earth thorns suddenly appeared from underground, the faces of many minotaurs instantly became the same as the green-skinned beast infantry behind them.

Yu Fei can understand the suffering of these minotaurs. After all, few people can stand the sudden inflow of a foreign object through the back door, especially since it is not an elastic foreign body, but a sharp, hard, thick earthen thorn.

Tut-tut, the most yin is not a chrysanthemum, Yu Fei shook his head. In fact, generally speaking, the magic used by the human mage group in war is more fire-based and wind-based, and the magic with a larger killing range and relatively stronger damage is also used. As for the earth system, it can be used in places like repairing the city walls.

It's just that in the war with the orcs, the Holy Lion Empire summed up the so-called experience, believing that only a large number of earth mages can hold the city walls. Therefore, more than half of the magicians in Ciric City are earth-based.

In the past, orcs have not faced the attack magic of humans. Their experience is that human magic tends to be fireballs, wind blades, fire, rain and hail from above and in front of them, and rarely attacks from below.

As a result, this time, the orcs were secretly happy when they saw that the magic in the air was relatively sparse, and it seemed that the firepower of the humans in this place was not strong enough. But I didn't expect that most of the attacks came from the bottom, and the attacks were on the lower plate of their own beasts.

This is also a manifestation of the inertia of thinking, which also makes the orcs suffer a lot. So, sometimes, experience kills.

Earth-based magic is actually not very lethal, which is one of the reasons why this type of magic is rare in warfare. The large number of earth spikes actually didn't bring a lot of damage to the orcs, but the negative effects were too powerful.

Not to mention anything else, most of the minotaurs in the front row, who were holding the totem pole firmly and preparing to resist the charge of the human cavalry, threw down the totem pole like an electric shock after being blasted, covered their butts and mooed loudly.

In this way, the charge of the human cavalry was completely borne by the orcs. Although the combat effectiveness of human horses is far less than that of the wolf cavalry, the impact power brought by its long-distance charge is not comparable to that of the wolf cavalry.

At least, the minotaur who laid down the totem pole could not withstand this shock for a while. (To be continued......)
