Chapter 22: Siege Methods

Uther was very confident, and he felt that the quality of his soldiers was no worse than that of the Jasper Army, or even more elite. But Jasper Collar's engineering skills were too far ahead of Lordaeron, and Jasper Collar's way of fighting upended his perception of warfare.

Powerful engineering weapons, though many of them don't do much for the powerhouses of them. But often played a decisive role in the battles of low-end soldiers. He finally realized the humiliation of the orcs attacking Jasper Collar.

The armies of both sides began to bombard each other, with the artillery produced by the goblins on one side and the artillery of the Jasper Collar on the other. Moreover, Lordaeron was still on the city walls, but the range of their artillery was completely incapable of attacking the opposing army.

The Jasper Leader's army, on the other hand, was the opposite, although they were below, they bombarded more than a dozen Lordaeron cannons in just one attack, and only a few shells of dozens of artillery shells bombarded the city walls, and the others exploded on the walls even if they did not bombard the artillery. It also caused a lot of damage.

They didn't know that the reason why the shells had such a long range, in addition to the better artillery, the shells of the Jasper Collar also began to improve towards the air-to-air shells of fighters, although the current ground-to-air shells are still in the preliminary research stage, but they are the primary effect. It's a huge step forward. Because the laws of the world in Azeroth are different from those of Earth, even if there are engineering works from Earth that propose this concept, it will take a long time to truly study it. The various scientific and technological theories of the Earth are not feasible in Azeroth, and they are only concepts, but they have a direction for development. It's not just a little bit ahead.

Goblins and gnomes have more technology from Titans, and they can also be said to be rudimentary Titan technologies, but they really know very little. They don't even have a direction, and every progress consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and precious materials.

The surprise of the two types of artillery made the leaders of the alliance look at the army of the Jasper Collar more attentively, they all know that the current Jasper Collar is at least at the forefront of the world in terms of military industry, and these armies are the trump cards of the Jasper Collar, and the things they are equipped with must be the best products of the Jasper Collar.

Although they are very reluctant to see the internal friction between the countries of the alliance, they are more concerned about how to equip these powerful engineering weapons. Every battle of the Jasper Collar is like a textbook battle. Break through their understanding of war. In the battle with the orcs, so, and the war with Lordaeron is still the same.

They saw another weird mechanical car-like thing behind the jasper collar. Jean, who was at odds with Lordaeron, even had a sense of schadenfreude, and there was a faint sense of anticipation in his heart when he saw his old rival deflated in front of Jasper Collar. At the same time, there is a deep vigilance. How many means are there that are useless for the Jade Collar, they can directly attack Huang Long's attack on Lordaeron today. Tomorrow you can attack Gilneth.

You must know that Gilneth and Jasper Collar are adjacent both by land and by sea and land. Although there are many outposts and strongholds of Gilneth on land, there are cliffs and terrifying reefs on land and sea. But it's really not an obstacle for the Jasper Collar who has the Air Force.

The war continues in the mixed minds of all sides. The Jasper Collar was all destroyed by the unwilling soldiers of Lordaeron, and the Jasper Collar let out a huge cheer, and the destruction of the artillery meant that they could start the siege of the city.

Uther's eyes were red, and he commanded loudly: "All the hunters are ready to snipe the enemy, the defensive warriors stand in the front row, and the mage troops are in the back." No matter what method the air force uses, even if it uses human lives, it will intercept the air force of the Jasper Collar. If they can't stop an enemy who is at least twice as small as them, then come to them. ”

Uther quickly made adjustments to the walls to fill the void, and he wasn't worried much about the opponent's artillery. The newly built walls of the kings of Lordaeron were very thick and strong, especially the walls of the royal palace, which were the most fortified. The enemy's artillery might be able to smash the walls, but that would take a long time.

He knew very well that the longer the delay, the better it would be for them, and he had sent out the message that Lordaeron's army was converging towards the royal capital. He believed that the commander of the Jasper Collar would also choose a quick strategy. Therefore, the opponent's artillery will inevitably stop when the Jasper Leader begins to attack the city to avoid accidental damage. He believed that as long as the actual hand-to-hand combat was met, Lordaeron's soldiers would be able to withstand the attack of the Jasper Leader. In hand-to-hand combat, they rely on strength, not damn engineering.

Seeing that Lordaeron's artillery had been destroyed, Moore ordered in a loud voice: "Prepare the artillery with incendiary bombs, fire a round." The engineering troops are ready, the engineering machinery is dispatched, the engineering regiment is dispatched. ”

Hearing Moore's order, the artillerymen began to load new ammunition, but did not fire. Nearly 200 huge trucks that were already in front of the team rumbled towards the city walls.

These carts look very hideous, covered in heavy armor, the wheels of the body and other places protrude many barbs when the vehicle starts, and the rear position seems to be countless metal frames. There were a few more soldiers at the rear. Although the cart looks bulky, it is not very slow.

Lordaeron's soldiers were confused, and they didn't understand what the Jade Leader was going to do, could they use these carts to attack the city?

Soon they knew the answer, but it was also at this time that dozens of special shells bombarded the city wall, the speed of these shells was fast, but the reaction speed of the soldiers of the Jasper Leader was also very fast, and the moment they captured the trajectory of the shells, the surrounding soldiers had all dispersed, vacating a range of shell explosions.

However, instead of a huge earth-shattering explosion, the heavy shells exploded into large patches of viscous objects, which then turned into raging flames, and the explosion began to be silent, but the range was much larger than that of ordinary blasters, and a large number of Lordaeron warriors were ignited by the flames and let out a terrible howl. There was a sudden panic on the city wall, and Terenus could no longer describe it with gas.

Brad seems to be particularly fond of fire attacks since he started fighting, Brad just took over the first battle of the Jasper Collar related to the destruction, and then burned hundreds of thousands of trolls, and then used fire to repeatedly defeat the orcs, and then burned Ratchet City, these are all classic examples of Brad's battles. And the officers of the Jasper Collar were also affected and began to like fire attacks.

Lordaeron's soldiers began to put out the fire with dirt bags brought from below, and they all knew very well that if they used water to extinguish the fire in the Jasper Collar, it would be an act of death.

The Jasper Collar cart below came to a halt at a distance of several hundred yards, and two metal pillars suddenly protruded from the back of the huge vehicle, and then plunged deep into the rock in the middle of the square. After the pillar was tied to the square, it suddenly rose to a height of four yards, covering the top of the pillar with a fine net. The machine then starts again, and a fine mesh is attached to the rear of the car and between the pillars.

The engineering regiment consisted of motorcycles and fewer transports, and they took advantage of the panic on the city wall to quickly take out various tools and build simple fortifications, and huge iron plates were erected one by one, and the heavy deck was three yards high, forming a simple arc, which could defend against the rain of arrows diagonally above, and there was a gap at a height of more than one yard, which was used for the muzzle of the gun.

Seeing that the fine nets and fortifications had been lowered, Moore shouted again: "A regiment of the Musket Legion and a regiment of the Paladins will rush with me." ”

Saying that, Moore jumped off his mount and rushed towards the city wall first, hearing Mohr's shout, and the Jasper Leader soldiers, who had been waiting for the awe-inspiring fighting spirit, rushed forward like a tide.

Seeing the movements of the Jasper Collar below, Uther finally came to his senses, and the main purpose of their release of incendiary grenades was not to kill and injure Lordaeron's soldiers, but to temporarily drag the soldiers on the city wall and prevent them from striking below, or to prepare for the siege. And those fine nets were meant to defend against their arrows from above, and so were those steel barriers, which must have been the location of the Jasper Musket Legion.

Terenus was annoyed as he saw that Jasper-Collar's gigantic crash was rapidly approaching the city gates. And when the carts reached the bottom of the city wall, the steel frames began to extend as if they had come to life, and finally formed a ladder.

"Uther, let the cavalry open the city gate and charge, otherwise it will be difficult for us to prepare, why have we never heard of such a thing in the Jasper Collar." Terenus's voice was filled with anger, and he was extremely disappointed in his intelligence department. As Stormwind's MI7 and Jasper Territory's shadow forces shone brightly, the countries of the Alliance began to establish their own intelligence organizations, but due to the short time and lack of experience, they played a very limited role.

Uther reluctantly said, "No, if we open the gates, we don't want to close them, unless we give up the army outside the city." You haven't seen the strength of the Jasper Musket Legion, you are simply the nemesis of the cavalry. ”

"Damn, how did this bastard come up with so many ideas?" Terenus was furious, he knew it was an idea from the adventurer's homeland, but he had tried, but unfortunately their engineering skills were far from good. Some progress has also been made in the local goblins.

"Moore is coming up, I'm going to stop him." Uther said and left the side.

The depression in Tyrenus's heart, he now regrets a little bit that he didn't let Ferding and them stay just now, even if they don't really stupid Jasper Collar people, but at least they can intercept some strong people. And Lordaeron's powerhouse, that is, in addition to Uther, there is only the chief court mage.

Rumble......

With the loud sound of crashing cars on the city gate, the race for life and death officially began...... (To be continued......)
