Act 169 The Undead Strike Again
"Your Majesty, the undead have come up, as expected, all the undead who appeared this time are medium and high-level undead, except for some ghouls who are responsible for carrying the task, there are no low-level undead!"
Morey III waved his hand with a heavy face, told the messenger who had sent the letter to retreat, and then said to the Marquis of Cardyne:
"The actions of the undead are all expected, but without the support of Earl Bai, even if they use all their strength, the fall of Yunfeng City is expected, the difference is only in time.
My old friend, are you sure the White Earl will help, yes? ”
Marquis Kadean nodded: "He will definitely help, I can guarantee that!" But...... How much strength will the White Earl show...... To be honest, I can't speculate either. ”
Morey III sighed and said, "Yes...... If it is a valuable ally, of course, go to the rescue with all your might! But if the other party confirms that we still can't resist the undead even after all-out rescue, then their idea can only be to save themselves as much as possible. ”
"So, forget the kind of cleverness that hid your strength yesterday, this time, we must show the strongest state to make Earl Bai recognize our value."
Morey III laughed helplessly, once upon a time, the powerful Divine Duze Empire was the strongest country above all human kingdoms, but now he actually had to do his best to cheer up his allies, he didn't know that if there was really a heaven as those priests said, he would be scolded to death if he saw his ancestors after he died?
However, if you defend Yunfeng City this time, you will only be scolded for going to heaven, and if you can't keep it...... It's better to let yourself go to hell, at least you don't have to face those dead subjects in heaven, so that the torment of hell is more relaxed.
"My old friend, are our troops ready?"
"Everything is ready, except for the cavalry units that are not suitable for defensive operations, which have been left as reserves, all the other people who can be sent to the walls are already on it, soldiers, squires, blacksmiths, gardeners, farmers, merchants, and even nobles, as long as they can put on armor and wield swords."
"Then, the matter on the city wall will be left to you." Morey III patted the Marquis of Cardian on the shoulder and said, "From now on, I must be the Grand Master of the Griffin Order!" ”
…………………………
Sylne glanced at the sun in the sky with his eyes covered, and said, "The sun is really big today, and it's a good weather for battle!" ”
It's not that Sylne is sighing indiscriminately, but the undead themselves are a slightly photophobic species, and fighting in the blazing sun will be somewhat affected, although this effect is not fatal, but at this time even any advantage is not easy to come by.
After all, although the city wall where Sylne was located was densely packed with people, they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and their quality was even worse than yesterday, and it was clear that this wall had been abandoned from the beginning to consume the enemy.
When Yunfeng City was first built, it fully considered the need for resistance, and there was no place to defend except for the core defense system of the palace.
"Fog! It's foggy! ”
A militiaman with a large waist and a fat body, holding a wood-splitting axe and a shield made of door panels, and wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, trembled and pointed at the rapidly expanding fog in front of him, and his face turned pale with fright.
Even though he was just a cook, he had heard about the last time the undead attacked the city, and knew that it was a magical cloud released by the undead to cover the troops.
In that cloud must be an army of the undead!
The initial battle was the same as yesterday, with the undead gradually approaching the walls under the cover of a thick fog, and then it was only after the mages had dispersed the dense fog that approached the walls that the true face of the undead army was revealed.
"Abomination has risen! Get ready, everyone! ”
Listening to the shouts of the officers, Sylne stuck his head out of the wall and looked out, only to see a group of abominants carrying a huge siege engine slowly approaching the city wall, and there were many shoddy siege towers around the siege engine, which obviously showed signs of hurry.
Little Brick, who was standing beside Syrne, smiled and said, "These undead are really stupid, yesterday they have proven that this kind of attack is useless, and they are still here!" Earl White's support will help us clean up these big guys. ”
Since being rescued by Syrne, this little guy has become Syrne's follower, completely self-defeating, whether it is peacetime or wartime, almost no time to leave Syrne.
Syrne is not as optimistic as the little one, she knows that the undead can't really be so stupid, and the tactics that have proven to be ineffective have been replaced by a wave of elites to continue to execute? Isn't this the work of taking the elite to the ashes?
Sure enough, not long after the appearance of the undead siege troops, the shelling of self-propelled guns arrived.
The drone hovering near Yunfeng City quietly entered the position and shone a laser beam on the bulky siege tower, and a moment later, the characteristic whistling sound of 155mm shells arrived on time!
Generally speaking, even guided artillery shells still have the possibility of missing, and in actual use, a hit rate of 70 percent is considered qualified. But at this time, the target was a huge wooden siege tower, and such a huge target instantly increased the hit rate of the guided artillery shells to the extent that it almost hit 100 shots!
After each whistling sound, a siege tower will be blown into rotten wood or even turned into a huge torch, and every whistling sound will cause a tsunami on the mountain wall of Yunfeng to cheer like a superstar appearing!
The old GP-1 laser-guided projectile has a range of only 20 km, which is a very close class among modern 155mm artillery shells, but even this is enough to guarantee absolute range superiority in the Atlas.
At the same time, in the absence of the formation of an otherworldly Beidou positioning network, the effectiveness of those high-range and high-precision satellite-guided weapons was greatly reduced for a while, and this old-fashioned laser-guided weapon carried the girder of precision-guided weapons.
Not even one of the undead's siege towers managed to stick to the walls, and it didn't take long for them to be destroyed after leaving the cover of the fog!
The defenders on the walls feared that the dilapidated siege towers would be used by the undead, and ballistas, trebuchets, etc., smashed the bombed-out siege towers to pieces.
However, among the many undead construction machinery, only the giant siege vehicle was unscathed by the combined strangulation of guided shells and trebuchets!
