Chapter 21: The Siege of the City (Cheeky Push, Reward)
The huge gap in strength, and the ranged troops are close, the gnomes don't even have the slightest room for resistance, the nomads wield the steel knives in their hands, and quickly harvest the lives of the gnomes, although the number of nomads is a full half less than the spearmen, the flat grassland is suitable for cavalry charges, and their killing speed is simply not within the reach of the spearmen and others.
The dwarf who was in the direction of the nomad's advance was directly knocked out by the high-speed galloping cavalry, and then was trampled under the horse's feet before he could get up, and the weapons in the hands of the nomads were more like an auxiliary tool, as long as they were placed on the sides of the body downward, relying on the horses to gallop at high speed, just waiting for the gnomes to crash into themselves.
Although there are many dwarfs, there is no distance, no formation, no depth, and they have completely lost their advantages under various designs, and finally Yang Bing came to the bottom of the kettle, and finally had to hate this.
Yang Bing's troops cleared the battlefield very quickly, the gnomes never launched a decent counterattack, and if they gathered too much, they would face the impact of the nomads, and with the end of the battle on Yang Bing's side, the battle of the spearmen also came to an end.
"It is an honor to fight with such a heroic hero as you, and we ask you to accept our allegiance."
Yang Bing accepted this team of dwarves with a smile, free can always make people happy, besides, as long as the situation is not special, or the enemy is too strong, it is really difficult for someone to break through the double defense line of dwarves and spearmen and endanger the archers, this time the safety factor of the archers can be said to have risen greatly, and Yang Bing no longer has to worry about the safety of the archers.
Time flies, after taking down this group of dwarves, Yang Bing received the dwarves to join, and hurriedly returned to the castle to move the heavy catapult that Huang Feihu had made into the castle, and then left a few spearmen and all the peasants to transport the catapult all the way to the direction of the city of the dead, and he used the last bit of time to recruit all the thieves and poison cang. Halfway through, there was no extraneous branch, and when they passed by the waterwheel, they collected the 1,000 gold coins they owed.
Next, in the days of waiting for the catapult to be transported, Yang Bing led the team to fight everywhere, with the continuous expansion of the troops, there were more and more targets for him to choose from, but during this period Yang Bing also suffered some losses, in a battle to attack some flying horses, the spearmen bravely blocked it with their own flesh and blood, and rushed to the archers' Pegasus from the sky, at least this first unit to follow Yang Bing to fight was wounded in a battle, and finally only two or three kittens remained.
However, although the loss was quite large, the harvest was barely gratifying, and after killing the Pegasus Knight, Yang Bing harvested several thousand gold coins and a number of precious resources.
Two days later, Yang Bing's army all gathered under the city of the undead.
Facing the City of the Dead were 40 dwarves, sent in two columns, firmly guarding the archers behind them, their thigh-thick arms carrying their usual sledgehammers, all silently speaking, any impact in front of them would be ruined.
The 18 archers stood behind the dwarves in three columns, and in order to shoot conveniently, the feathered arrows in their quivers were pulled out and pierced in the wasteland in front of them, and at this time they held an arrow in their hands and rested lightly on the bowstring, waiting for Yang Bing's order to draw their bows and shoot.
Guarding the two wings of the archers and other infantry were the 26 nomadic cavalry that Yang Bing had spent a lot of effort to get, and it was their presence that gave Yang Bing the confidence to fight a frontal siege battle under the city of the undead, instead of secretly playing conspiracy and trickery. Completely crushing the opponent on the frontal battlefield and violently crushing it is the favorite battle of Yang Bing or every modern person who has fantasized about becoming a general.
Of course, since it is a siege, then the catapult must be indispensable, and the last military formation is the heavy catapult (thunderbolt) that Yang Bing asked Huang Feihu to carry out, not to mention that it is different to engage in scientific research, when he just got this thing in, Yang Bing was shocked, but he didn't expect the system to prompt that this was a thunderbolt. (It's the kind of catapult that only appears when you upgrade your ballistics to the expert level.) Note: Ballistics can be used to manually control the target and increase the number of attacks, damage, and accuracy. Basic: Hit the wall once with a 60% chance of hitting the wall, 50% chance of max attack damage, and less than 60% chance of hitting the tower unless the wall is completely broken. Advanced: Attack twice, the rest as above. Expert: Attack twice, both with maximum power; 75% chance of hitting a wall, 75% chance of hitting a tower unless the wall is completely broken. )
Of course, there is no catapult alone, and someone has to operate, for this matter, Yang Bing specially withdrew 4 spearmen to operate, and got all the 80 peasants in the castle who left their hands over, although the peasants' attack power is not suitable for charging into battle, but it is no problem to help move stones next to the catapult, and at this time there are only 4 units of stone on Yang Bing's body.
Yang Bing drew and commanded sixteen poisonous cangs to fly to the sky above the city of the undead, through the perspective of the poisonous cang, Yang Bing commanded them to fly extremely carefully, there is the exact news of the thief, the ghosts in the city of the undead have been promoted to the ghost when Yang Bing expanded his strength, and the number has climbed to 30, plus the four terrifying vampire counts, for only 16 number of poisonous cangs, Yang Bing's air power is not dominant, and it is still at an absolute disadvantage, if it is not for the hole cards, Yang Bing didn't dare to rush up recklessly, but no matter what, the battle didn't allow him to be careless.
As for the other two teams, the strength is 200 skeleton warriors and 50 zombies, without the suppression of ranged troops, under the blow of Yang Bing's archers, if they dare to defend the city, they will have to pay a heavy price.
Yang Bing commanded them to circle from the undead city through the perspective of the poisonous firmament, and saw that the undead in the city were already in battle, perhaps because of the oppression of the strength of the army outside the city, they did not rush out this time, but tightly guarded behind the city gate and under the wall stampe.
After a general understanding of the distribution of the troops in the lower city, Yang Bing commanded all the air troops to withdraw to the sky above his army before the Yin Spirits caught up, and the Yin Spirits could not catch up with the poisonous cang. Seeing that the Yin Spirits did not chase them out, Yang Bing immediately issued an order to attack.
The first to launch the first wave of attacks was the heavy catapult, this behemoth had already been prepared under the adjustment of the spearmen, and with a roar, a boulder the size of a bathtub was thrown into the air, and flew quickly towards the gate of the city of the dead over Yang Bing's military formation, and in an instant the attention of everyone on both sides was attracted to the boulder.
