Chapter 90: A Tentative Siege
Yang Long's meched troops had as many as five catapults, most of which could reach a full kilometer, just enough to cover the camp in Wild City within their range. Of course, I'm afraid that the people of Oz City would never have thought that catapults would have such a terrifying range, and as for their ability to throw a distance of 500 meters even if they reach the sky, this also reflects the strength of modern craftsmanship to add to weapons. Although hot weapons cannot be used, it does not mean that cold weapons made by modern technology cannot be used.
The people of Green City never imagined that they had been attacked early in the morning, and it was an attack beyond common sense.
Five stone balls with a diameter of one meter and weighing three or four tons swept through the sky like a meteorite and plunged into the camp of Green City.
A round of stone ball attacks stunned everyone, "Where did this attack come from?" ”
There are no hidden obstacles on the grassland, so you can see it at a glance, but there are no catapults that can attack you around, and there is only one place where these stone balls come from, that is, in Baiyun City, "How did the other party throw the stone balls so far?" Did you use magic? The problem is that in the descriptions of the elders, the scene of high-level magic such as meteor fire showers is definitely not like this! ”
Yang Long naturally didn't give the Green City army time to think about the way these stone balls came from, and soon five stone balls were thrown out, this time because the soldiers of Green City had some defense. So the effect is not as unexpected as it was at first. But it is also extremely demoralizing to the opponent. Being beaten passively and not being able to fight back can destroy a person's fighting spirit no matter what, except for the undead, of course.
"This place is not to stay long." Knowing that they had set up their camp within the range of the other party, the soldiers of Green City quickly evacuated under the orders of the commander, leaving only an empty camp in a short time.
"I haven't slept all night, and I have to camp during the day, hehe, some of the guys in Green City are busy." Nong Yi didn't know when he appeared next to Yang Bing and said.
"There's basically nothing to do today, so I'll ask Nong Yiduo to arrange for someone to rest. Tomorrow we will be in good spirits and defend the city. Yang Bing glanced at Nongyi.
"Lord Lord's words are serious, this is all what Nong Yi should do." Nong Yi replied solemnly.
"The Speaker has worked hard." Yang Bing smiled with satisfaction.
Ignore the two foxes on this side for the time being, flattering each other.
The art of war has clouds, and the so-called soldiers are also treacherous, and they are supplemented by odds.
Any conspiracy must be built on the basis of a certain strength, and the forces of Baiyun City are now unable to fight a decisive battle with the army of Green City in the field, no matter how long it drags on, even if it drags on for two days, it will inevitably face the opponent's siege after all.
After being attacked by the White Cloud City army continuously. The commander of Oz retreated his army to a newly erected camp three kilometers away, and also sent Pegasus cavalry out to find the cavalry that attacked them at night. Having avenged the burning of the camp, Yang Bing heard You Yi's return, and in order to avoid losses, he had no choice but to recall all the Yanyun Iron Cavalry back to the city.
Walking from the tent three kilometers away to the bottom of the city, the army on the wall is not those tireless undead, so their physical strength will definitely be consumed, of course, this is also the reason why Yang Bing drove them away, is to seize every opportunity to consume the enemy, as the so-called gathering sand into a tower, the accumulation of small amounts will definitely change the tide of the battle.
This time Oz City because there is no cavalry disturbance at night, so they can fully rest, the next day at dawn, they began to prepare for a tentative siege, the whole camp in the forefront of the Oz City army is their elf archers, these elf archers are all advanced troops of the third-order wood elves, not only equipped with leather armor, making their defense better than before, and the attack power is already very strong They also mastered the stunt of two consecutive shots at this time, which made their combat power directly doubled, It is also them who make Yang Bing quite a headache, for the other armies of Green City, Yang Bing has nothing to worry about, because he still has a city wall as a backing, but if the melee troops are not allowed to destroy the backing of the city wall, then the strike of the ranged troops is particularly important, if you want to fight the melee troops, you must compete with the elves of Oz City, so how not to be suppressed by the elves in the long-range confrontation has become the key to this battle.
The tall centaur captains guarded the wings of the elf archers to prevent the soldiers of White Cloud City from suddenly going out of the city to attack the elves' military formation, followed by the Pegasus cavalry in the sky, and their task was to see the opportunity to fly into the city to kill the soldiers in the White Cloud City's upper soldier arrow tower, clearing the way for the centaur captain's charge, and in the future was the catapult of the Green City army.
As the footsteps of the Green City army approached step by step, when they were completely in range, the catapults of White Cloud City launched an attack, their range of one kilometer was simply beyond imagination, and the five round stone balls with powerful kinetic energy roared out in an instant, swaying over the walls of White Cloud City, and then flew over the open ground between the two sides, and finally crossed the military formation of Green City, and smashed against the catapults behind them.
There were only five catapults in the mech, and they couldn't get any covering blows anyway, but when Oz City was already prepared, it might not be very effective to deal with the opposing soldiers, and their bulky and intractable catapults became a pretty good target.
The catapults in Oz City are the kind of light goods, their longest range is only about three or four hundred meters, only less than half of Baiyun City, of course, they can't do anything effective to fight back, they can only advance against the attack, and the catapult that Yang Bing got from the end of the world is not only long-range, the frequency of attack has also reached a very terrifying level, just a few random people, as long as they can rock, they can quickly restore the catapult to the launch state, warp the stone ball into the launch cabin, a stone bullet can be launched, the operation is very simple, fast, So whoever it doesn't matter who can get started quickly.
Under the intensive care of the catapults in Baiyun City, the few light catapults brought by Green City were all smashed before they could reach their farthest attack range.
Without catapults to destroy the stone walls of Baiyun City, the army of Green City had to fight a war of attrition against Yang Bing's army under the walls.
Obviously, there is no need for Yang Bing to command anything, after the swordsman who operated the catapult destroyed the primary target, he immediately found the soldiers of Green Field City, although in Yang Bing's opinion, the effect was not great, but because of the abundance of stones in his own city, it was better to kill a few soldiers, until the other party walked into a distance of three hundred meters, which had entered the minimum range of the catapult, and the swordsmen who operated the catapult stopped, but they did not rest, and beckoned their mechanical troops to turn into the position of the catapult.
When the front-line troops reached a distance of about three hundred meters from Baiyun City, the centaur captains guarding the two wings stopped advancing, and began to be on guard against the gates of Baiyun City, while the elves continued to advance regardless of the others, until they entered their longest range, and then did not make any stops, even if they began to throw into the city, of course, the long-range archers in Baiyun City were not to be outdone, they both fired arrows almost at the same time, and the space between the two sides was instantly filled with arrows, Of course, with the rain of arrows that obscured the sky, the corresponding casualties also occurred.
The elves are known as the strongest existence in the archery troops, and are the backbone of the barrier camp, which has its own uniqueness, the ability to shoot two consecutive shots multiplies their lethality, coupled with the unique sensitivity of the elves, so that they can easily judge the path of the arrows shot by the enemy, so as to dodge in advance, even if the elves are exposed to the field without any cover, there will generally not be too many casualties. It's like being able to compete with the sharpshooters hiding behind the walls with relative ease. (To be continued......)
