Chapter 112: Heavy Artillery Opens the Way (1)
"Woo" "Woo" "Woo" "Woo"
On the walls of the stone city, hundreds of orcs held a bone horn three times larger than them, and blew in a low voice in all directions,
It was dusk, and the sun had sunset. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The dim sky and the heavy sound of the horn filled the air with indescribable solemnity.
"Knock Knock Knock"
After the horn sounded three times, a group of orcs carrying wooden drums came up from under the stairs of the city wall, all of which were the size of door panels, and the drum surfaces were all made of the skins of the beasts of the Deserted Plains, and they were particularly heavy.
On the edge of the drum body, the orc characters are painted, all written by the priests of the three major oasis tribes, and when they are sounded, they will have an exciting effect.
Three people drummed, one person carried, two people carried, three people hit, and the horns and drums sounded in unison over the entire stone city, and every orc warrior couldn't help but straighten their waists, and their chests were full of fighting spirit.
Outside the stone city, surrounded by 100,000 human troops, it looks like a sea of people from a distance, and there is no edge or bottom line.
As early as five hours ago, Haigel's army had arrived, and Stone City, the first line of defense of the orcs, had directly become Haigel's target, and a major battle was inevitable.
The Tyrant, the Axe, and Gore had long since left the place, and all the command of Stone City had been handed over to an orc, a very trustworthy warrior.
He is the orc from the snow wolf tribe on the coast - Luganf.
"Luganf, what should we do next?" Because Stone City was built in the wasteland, most of the people in this city are orcs who have been living in the wasteland, and the three major oasis tribes have only sent their warriors over, but Luganf's name, every elderly orc in the Desert is extremely clear.
The orcs have waged a total of four wars of resistance, each time it was a fierce battle, many orcs died in the war, and those who survived were the most experienced and powerful orc warriors.
Luganf is such an orc, he is seventy-five years old this year, which is definitely an advanced age among orcs, just like his age, Luganfu has participated in three wars of resistance, and in the end all survived intact, he is a veteran, a lucky warrior.
Because of this, no one is more suitable to command the orc warriors in Stone City than him, and in front of the 100,000 human army, there is indeed a need for someone to guide the orcs so that they will not become a pair of loose sand.
"This stone city, the high priests of the three major departments of the oasis have come to reinforce it, even human artillery fire can't shatter it, I don't know what humans have developed their weapons into after so many years, so let's not go out and wait for them to attack once and then see" Luganf stood on the wall and looked down, his entire body was covered with armor made by orcs, specially designed to protect against human muskets.
No one knew better than Luganf the power of a musket, a weapon that could kill a mighty orc warrior with just a small bullet of iron, which was why orcs were so slow to escape from the Deserted Plains.
......
In the human army, Haigl looked at the stone city of the orcs, and said in a cold tone: "It's also difficult for this group of orcs, go and collapse this city, and not a single orc will be left behind."
The Maran heavy cannon with a range of a full 1,000 meters was erected again, and under the gaze of the orcs on the city wall, the cannon was aimed at them in a daze.
"Luganv, what's that?"
An orc, looking extremely young, asked Luganf.
This orc should not have participated in any war of resistance, so he didn't know much about human heavy artillery, Luganfu didn't have time to explain, and shouted directly to the orcs beside him: "Set up a shield, be careful of artillery fire!"
"Sonorous and sonorous"
There was a sharp metal crash on the city wall, and all the orcs raised a huge metal shield as thick as a fist from the ground, forming a steel shield wall neatly.
"Fire!" Just as the orcs were erecting a shield wall on the city wall, the human soldiers who controlled the heavy artillery were also ready, the huge cannonballs were stuffed into the barrels, and the soldiers decisively pulled the plate machine.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, a cannonball made of molten iron bombarded the city wall where Luganv stood, and the city wall made of huge stones shook under the blow of the cannonball, and a large amount of rubble fell from the outer wall of the stone city.
Luganv poked his head out of the city wall to take a look, and saw that the cannonball was deeply embedded in the boulder, only a small part was revealed, and the place on the outer wall of the city wall that was hit by the cannonball was like a spider's web, cracking out dense gaps, and even the iron sheet wrapped on the boulder was blown up, which showed the power of the force.
Seeing this scene, the veteran soldier of Rao is Luganfu couldn't help but gasp, the power of this heavy cannon is really powerful, if the human side can continue to bombard like this, then it is only a matter of time before this stone city falls.
Compared to the orcs, humans were even more surprised, knowing that this respect cannon is now the most powerful cannon weapon among humans, but they didn't expect that a cannon could only have such a small reaction.
"General, this ......"
"It was the orc priests who moved their hands and feet, and this stone city must have been tricked by them" Heigl said affirmatively, and then frowned again: "What are you panicking, shoot all the shells out for me, let the orcs take a look, it's useless to build any defense line"
"Yes!
Since the first shot, the human heavy artillery has never stopped firing, and the outer wall of the orc's stone city is full of iron bullets of heavy artillery, one of which even hit the position where Luganfu is standing, but fortunately, a group of orcs holding iron shields to block it, which ensures Luganfu's safety.
But unfortunately, there were two orcs who could not survive the huge power of the cannonball even if they held the iron shield, and the moment the fist-thick shield carried the cannonball, it was directly bent into a piece of scrap iron, and the orc behind the iron shield was like being thrown into a press, and the bones of the whole body were twisted into a ball, like a twist, and they had lost their lives in that instant.
"Take these two brave warriors down and bury them," Luganv said sadly.
Immediately, four orcs came up and took the bodies of the two orcs down, and there was still blood on the city wall, and the orcs did not have the habit of wiping it clean, and the bloodstained city wall was a symbol of their glory.
"Luganf, I don't know when these human weapons will run out, you better go to the stone city and hide first" The orcs on the city wall are all persuading Luganfu, as the commander of the three major departments of the oasis, Luganfu must not die easily, he still needs to take on the task of commanding the orc army.
"Yes, I'm not the warrior who needs to be at the front now," the old Luganf sighed, and walked down the wall, surrounded by many orcs.
Before leaving, Luganv did not forget to give an order: "If humans enter within 200 meters of Stone City, attack directly"
There are no other ranged attack classes among the orcs except for the stone spear thrower, and to be honest, Luganv's order makes no difference whether to say it or not. (To be continued.) )
