Chapter 329: Siege (I)
Although it is not as exaggerated as the legendary powerhouse, the Great Sword Master is completely unparalleled in the miscellaneous army group before his own strength is exhausted.
Although it is impossible for the Great Sword Master to kill a Sword Master in one or two strokes, he can also directly bypass the Sword Master's trick idea, after all, the speed of the Great Sword Master is faster than that of the average Sword Master, and even if the ordinary Sword Master wants to entangle and delay him, he is afraid that it will be difficult to catch up.
Then, he could rush into the array of ordinary soldiers and kill them. With a casual wave of his hand, several soldiers can fall like wheat harvesting.
When the army retreats to the camp, maybe dozens or even hundreds of people will be killed by this guy.
...... No, it's more than that. After all, with a thorny enemy behind them and killing people all the time, it is easy for the coalition forces to fall into disarray, when the orders are difficult to convey, the soldiers are panicked, and they can scatter and flee, trample to death, and kill each other to escape.
At that time, the entire coalition army will be on the verge of collapse, and it may immediately cause a massive attrition of hundreds or even thousands.
Rather than face this tricky situation, it is better to let the Angel of Judgment blow himself up.
First of all, it is possible to directly blow up this monster's lair, and this time the goal will be achieved.
It would be even better if the Great Swordsman would protect the lair - if he was blown up, even if he couldn't kill the Great Swordsman, at least he would be seriously injured and lose most of his combat ability.
Even if the lair is protected, this great swordsman may be half-crippled. Being able to take the opportunity to beat the water dogs and kill a half-crippled great swordsman can be regarded as breaking the enemy's arm.
No matter how bad it is, even if Luo Ming's side can't hold back the enemy's main force and let that large group of monsters rush back in advance, the coalition forces can calmly retreat before they arrive - at least the Great Sword Master himself is not lightly injured, so there is no need to worry about him chasing after him.
The Great Swordsman himself was obviously intoxicated with the joy of his successful sneak attack, and his heart was full of disdain for such a summon as the Angel of Judgment who had no independent mind and was completely controlled by others.
However, because he didn't understand the current situation at the first time, he fell into the pit and was blown up.
Before the dust cleared, a swordsman, dressed in heavy armor and holding a shield, slammed into the direction of the great swordsman.
Even if the great swordsman in his heyday, in a hurry, it is almost impossible to send out a powerful attack that penetrates the shield and heavy armor, and still has the strength to kill a swordsman, at most, it will only injure the swordsman.
It can be said that he is really rich in combat experience, or has a keen eye, and seized a great opportunity.
However, he hit a void.
As soon as the blow missed, he subconsciously fell to the ground immediately, and then rolled quickly a few times, opening up a distance of several meters to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.
However, there was no counterattack.
The dust cleared, and the nest, which had split and opened like petals, closed completely...... Thinking that the Great Sword Master appeared from it before, it is estimated that he saw that the situation was not good, and hid back.
I have to say, this is a wise choice - and for the coalition forces, it is the worst-case scenario.
Although the lair had suffered some injuries before, there were still six tentacles left with combat power, which was enough to hold out for a while longer.
Even after destroying the lair, the Great Swordsman hiding in it will definitely breathe a sigh of relief, and it will be another trouble.
=============================================
On the other side, Luo Ming sat very leisurely on the earthen platform three meters above the ground, overlooking the dense but futile attack of hundreds of monsters.
Deer and horses also have an obstacle effect on these monsters, especially since they don't have the structure of human hands, and it is more difficult to break or remove these obstacles.
Just when the initial monster crashed head-on into the obstacle and slowed down, the monster behind was still unclear about the situation, and it was huddled together at its original speed.
Seeing that the obstacle was finally about to be breached, twelve tiger squat cannons appeared on the pre-dug gun emplacement, firing fiercely at the monsters within a distance of only thirty meters.
Although the Tiger Squat Cannon has a small caliber and a short range, it is no exaggeration to say that it belongs to the most miniature category in artillery, but at this distance, it is definitely enough to roll up the bloody rain!
The monsters crowded in front of the obstacle ate this round of volleys and immediately fell in a whole row!
In addition, the four heavy cannons also roared together, and instead of firing shotguns, they fired solid iron balls, which smashed into the depths of the monster's array, drawing four red lines of flesh and blood.
Luo Ming visually observed that this round of salvo knocked down sixty or seventy monsters.
Of course, this is only one good opportunity.
First of all, in the artillery fire, more than half of those obstacles were also destroyed. Secondly, after the monsters were hit hard by this time, they would also learn their lesson and no longer rush up in a dense formation to die.
Moreover, the problem of heat dissipation of artillery should not be underestimated.
After all, the gunpowder burns in the barrel, creating a huge amount of heat, a large part of which is absorbed by the bronze barrel.
At first, one or two shells were fine, and a minute interval between them was basically fine.
But then, too much heat accumulates on the barrel and it is completely unusable – for example, when you just stuff gunpowder into it, it will be ignited by the high temperature of the barrel, and if the artilleryman accidentally touches the barrel, he will be burned.
Even if you keep splashing water, it will take a while for it to cool down completely.
Although they couldn't make such a brilliant result again, in any case, after being defeated by sixty or seventy in one go, the monsters' momentum slowed down completely.
Originally, monsters were similar to light cavalry, with rapid charging as the main method of warfare. Now that the momentum is slowing down, it is tantamount to giving up its advantages.
And that's just the first dish Luo Ming has prepared for the monsters...... It's just a greeting gift, and there are some surprises in the back.
At this moment, he suddenly saw several humans there, some seemed to be giving orders to the monsters, some were chanting incantations there, and some were taking up arms and rushing towards this direction.
"Oh, it's a cultist...... A nest of snakes and rats, or a mess?"
Luo Ming was not surprised by their appearance.
After all, it was the main force of the monsters that came to him, more than six hundred in total.
And in this incident, the cultists are not fighting alone or making small fights, no matter what, there will be double digits - then there will definitely be many cultists who will follow this large army.
Originally, the monsters' army was already very strong, and with the assistance of the cultists, they could easily defeat the ordinary human army.
It's a pity......
"You're running into me. ”
Luo Ming sat upright on the high platform, his eyes full of disdain.
