Chapter 184: Guarding Jiangcheng
Li Yuanfang can't retreat to Jiangcheng now, the Rotting Corpse King escapes, who knows if it will come again, in case it attracts the skeleton cavalry army, it will be bad.
The third-order skeleton cavalry can damage the city wall, and with a wave of charge, the unfinished castle will be flattened.
After packing up and loading the supplies onto the transport vehicle, the new 27th Regiment quickly withdrew to Jiangcheng, the process was relatively smooth, and soon came to Jiangcheng.
Because the new 27th Regiment was also part of the military, a little west on the north side, a position was assigned, not very close to the place where the main force of the undead attacked, and it was not very far.
Their task is to fend off the attacking 10,000 low-level undead, which is something that ordinary cannon fodder regiments can't do, but it's not too difficult for them.
Taking advantage of the fact that the undead had not yet attacked, Li Yuanfang asked his subordinates to thicken and raise the cement wall, which was the last line of defense.
Wait until the army of the undead is less than a kilometer before letting them enter the trenches dug in advance and prepare to shoot.
Li Yuanfang just arrived with a batch of supplies, 1,000 muskets, 50,000 rounds of gunpowder, which is also considered a surprise given to him by Mu Yue, listening to Zhong Ying, Mu Yue spent a lot of effort to get it for him.
The amount of this musket is not very large, and it can only be armed with a small number of troops, and it does not matter at all.
However, the power of the musket is much less than that of the bow and arrow, especially when dealing with a monster, the bow and arrow can shoot through a monster with low defense at a long distance.
And the musket can only work at close range, and this distance is not called distance at all for the Warcraft, and even if it can be shot, it can only hurt the fur of the Warcraft.
On the other hand, against skeleton soldiers, the effect of muskets is much more obvious, and a single shot aimed at the head can blow up the skeleton soldier's head and destroy the soul flame in it.
However, the bow and arrow must be precisely aimed at the soul flame, and it takes an average of five arrows to kill a skeleton soldier, and most arrows may not be able to kill a skeleton soldier even if they are shot through the head.
What is strange is that if the original ordinary black powder is used by the energy gunner, the power will be increased several times, which includes the use of spiritual power.
Including bows and arrows, professional archers will apply mental power to arrows when shooting, thus increasing their lethality.
This is the difference between the inheritor and ordinary people, it is a pity that the spiritual power acting on the arrow will quickly dissipate, and there is no way to preserve it, otherwise a group of ordinary people can be armed.
In any case, these muskets are much stronger than bows and arrows against the undead, not to mention firearms, so people are full of confidence.
Since all of Fang Xiaoxiao's skeleton soldiers were annihilated, Li Yuanfang did not rush to attack, anyway, he had a musket in his hand.
Before the undead came, Li Yuanfang sent them a few waves of arrows, shot a lot, and then stopped shooting.
You must know that pulling a bow also requires strength, and most of your attributes are ordinary people, and now you waste your strength to kill a few undead, and the gains outweigh the losses.
When the army of the undead was less than fifty meters, Li Yuanfang had a serious face and ordered: "Fire all of them!" ”
The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time could not bear it anymore and pulled the trigger, only to hear a "bang" explosion, and a puff of white smoke came out of the thick black muzzles.
The skeletal soldiers in the front row of the army of the undead were harvested like wheat, their heads exploded, and they fell neatly to the ground.
It also takes a few seconds for a musket to refill with gunpowder, and you won't have to wait a few seconds on the battlefield for you to refill it.
The soldiers in front of them filled with gunpowder directly retreated and replaced the next group of soldiers, who were also excited, raising their guns and shooting.
With the orderly cooperation, although there was only a short distance of fifty meters, the army of the undead could not advance a bit.
This group of undead also doesn't seem to have a necromantic skeleton command, only knows how to charge, and even skeleton shields are rare.
Half an hour passed, and the undead army finally advanced ten meters after losing half of its strength, which was still the cover of their own corpses.
After another half an hour, the army of 10,000 undead was now only nearly a thousand, and Li Yuanfang directly ordered the destroyers to attack and annihilate these skeleton soldiers.
It's a pity that the necromantic skeletons that control them didn't die, so Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't control a group of skeleton soldiers, and only found a dozen scattered skeleton soldiers to expand some of her strength.
Cleaning the battlefield and not being attacked again until night does not mean that the undead will not attack, they are the most fond of night attacks, and they have tried and tested.
For night attacks, Fang Xiaoxiao's role is reflected, she can control the skeleton soldiers from a distance, monitor the movements of the undead, and provide security for the safety of the new 27th Regiment.
Fortunately, the undead did not attack at night tonight, you must know that night is the world of the undead, even if you take precautions, you will fall into the disadvantage.
But the damnable thing is that the undead came to attack early in the morning, and most of the people in the new 27th Regiment went to the battlefield on an empty stomach without breakfast.
The number of incoming undead has increased to 50,000, and it is obvious that the undead have taken the new 27th Regiment seriously, and they are no longer sending low-level undead.
This group of undead is also elite, not only with 5,000 skeleton shieldguards and 1,000 carrion leaders, but also 3,000 archers and skeletons and 300 batats.
It seems that they are preparing to take the position of the new 27th Regiment, and Li Yuanfang, who is in the rear, also feels some pressure.
It stands to reason that such an equipment is more than enough to fight a cannon fodder division, and now he actually came over to fight him with a regiment, and the undead are really rich.
"It can't be the carrion king, right?" Li Yuanfang frowned, if there was a carrion king behind him, it would be much more troublesome.
No one knows if the Rotting Corpse King will pop out when the new 27th Regiment fights with the army of the undead.
Li Yuanfang had to keep the Demon Flame to guard against the sneak attack of the Rotting Corpse King, he didn't dare to guarantee that as long as he summoned the Demon Flame to fight against the army of the undead, after the spiritual power was exhausted, the Rotting Corpse King would not come to sneak attack.
He also knew that he could not hold this place, so he hurriedly sent someone to Mu Yue to ask for support......
The army of the undead quickly attacked, and waves of arrows rained down, so that the new 27th Regiment would not be stupid to shoot at each other, and hid in the trenches one by one.
Although the new 27th Regiment did not suffer much loss, the suppressed ones could not be able to do it, and even if they wanted to fight back, they had the strength to draw their bows without eating, and the skeleton soldiers took this opportunity to rush forward.
Waiting for the rain of arrows to stop, the skeleton soldiers were already less than thirty meters away, and the new 27th Regiment began to counterattack with muskets.
The charging were all low-level skeleton soldiers, which could be solved with one shot, and they were beaten back alive to fifty meters away, and the new 27th Regiment was not as aggrieved as before.
Then nearly a thousand skeleton soldiers charged, braving the threat of muskets, and rushed forward without fear of death, which made people feel frightened.
