Chapter 571: Strange City
"Hmph, 12,000? Is this what gives you the confidence to be arrogant? It's useless and useless!"
Luo Ming laughed: "Today, although you are the older one, I think it is necessary for me to give you a good explanation, forget it." ”
Anyway, now the dialogue between the two sides can be regarded as delaying time, so Luo Ming mobilized every performance cell in his body, and said it loudly while gesturing exaggerated body language.
"The Belan army in the north of the mountain is now numbered about 1,600 people, and I also brought 1,600 people over, and I defeated them at once, and made them surrender on the spot.
It's a pity that my soldiers killed too quickly, killing four hundred at once, and the remaining prisoners were only more than 1,100, while we, Mi Quan, only killed 112 in battle. ”
"Do you remember the first time I met you?
I commanded the haphazard coalition army, which numbered less than 3,000 and easily killed 2,500 of you, while my side suffered no casualties of 500, and finally retreated safely, leaving you to foolishly follow behind and eat ashes. ”
Luo Ming unceremoniously poked at the other party's sore spots.
Of course, the battle in Shanbei is just that, and the battle of the coalition forces can play such a strange exchange There are many accidental factors that cannot be replicated, such as barrage and water storage, etc., but this does not need to be specifically said.
Of course, in fact, there is also an irreproducible accidental factor here in Luo Ming - the people of Belan want to open the mountain road as soon as possible, and Luo Ming, the iron and fire city, is on the road, although the siege war has always been unfavorable, but they have to do it.
"As for now, if you say that there are 12,000 people, I won't help you calculate how many of them really have combat effectiveness, and how many are just here to help and wait and see.
There are only 8,000 soldiers and horses left in your headquarters now, right? Many of them are cavalry, and the number of infantry alone is not enough.
Without waiting for Zagmer to reply, Luo Ming immediately continued: "Surely not, right? Then you are going to let the cavalry dismount and participate in the siege? This is really good, I warmly welcome!"
If you really dare to send cavalry, I will wake up laughing in my dreams!
As for your infantry, I want to say you really don't have enough of them!"
Luo Ming waved his hand back: "Do you think that the 1,600 people who went north to kill the thieves are most of my troops? On the contrary, now I have 3,000 troops myself, and the nobles in those nearby territories are all my allies, and I have brought the people and troops here to fight the enemy with me, so that I have 5,000 people in total! How many people are your infantry? Even if I exchange one for one, I can make you bleed under this city, not to mention that it is now a defensive battle! You can do a good calculation, what is the proportion of casualties on both sides of the defensive battle?"
Seeing that Zagmer had not been overwhelmed by Luo Ming's words, Luo Ming seemed to suddenly remember something, and exaggeratedly "Ah!", clapped his hands and said: "I see, you probably think that you still have someone to rely on...... It's called Ben Thunder Car, right? It's a pretty domineering name and a big guy, but in my opinion, it's just a big, stupid big guy!
When your soldiers are dead and wounded, don't blame me for going out of the city to chase and kill, you and your men will wait to be cut with a knife, and the meat slices will be fed to the dogs, and then the bones will be scattered and built into my walls and road bricks!"
Luo Ming threw back Zagmer's cruel words with double force, making his face completely distorted with anger, and directly disconnected the spell projection.
Then, Belan's army moved quickly, and it seemed that they did not intend to talk to Luo Ming for even half a word, and were ready to attack the city directly.
Of course, they will not be stupid and rash to charge the city, most of them are preparing for the siege, and the first to rush towards the Iron Fire City is a small number of cavalry, they are scattered, ready to investigate the reality and shape of the Iron Fire City on the spot, and then decide on specific tactics.
If possible, it would be good to shoot two arrows at the head of the city, and it would be good to dampen the morale of the defenders, and to receive a high reward when you returned—of course, this is something that only the daring of the artists dare to do, but the Belan cavalry is skilled in arching and horseback, and many people still have the courage to do so.
However, Luo Ming was not polite to them, and as soon as he waved his hand, a burst of gunpowder smoke sounded over the city, and a few bows and crossbows were fired together.
Seeing that there were indeed many defenders at the head of the city who could shoot, the Beran cavalry did not go any further, and fired an arrow at the head of the city and began to turn and retreat.
At the same time, Zagmer flew on his vulture, and the mages teamed up to push a draftsman into the air, allowing him to quickly sketch the city of Ironfire.
Then, as the scout returned to report, Zagmer looked at Lockin's Iron Fire City, and then at the sketch in his hand, and his face became more and more strange.
This doubt even diluted the anger he had choked on by Luo Ming before.
Luo Ming's Iron Fire City was built on the mountain, but after all, most of the city was still built on the relatively flat ground outside, and the shape of the city wall built on the flat ground was very strange.
Specifically, it is a star-shaped, angular city wall, straight and straight, in the form of a polygonal line, with a geometric beauty. If you are a seaside person, you will probably use starfish as a metaphor for the outline of this city.
Zagmer's first thought was two things—a spiked hammer head, or a magic circle.
The former is just that, and it is impossible for the city wall to be picked up and smashed by people, but the latter is worth caring about - I heard that some legendary cities are part of a huge magic array, and even the legendary powerhouses can't attack it when the magic circle is fully opened.
Although the Iron Fire City in front of him is definitely not so powerful, but maybe it is also related to some magical power, Zagmer did not dare to be careless, and immediately called the military mage to come over and ask.
However, Luo Ming is really not so extravagant, although there are a few spells in this city, they can't affect the overall situation, and Zagmer's inquiry is naturally useless.
Rather, Vytautas said with understanding: "You see, the walls of this city are bent and much longer than ordinary round or square walls, so can you stand at the head of the city with more defenders?"
"That's ......," Zagmer laughed after a moment's pause, "but that's it. In front of the Ben Thunder Car, this is all just cleverness. ”
He suddenly remembered what Luo Ming had said not long ago about the Thunder Cart, and suddenly thought of the artillery that Luo Ming had used on the coalition positions before, so he told the mage and a few sword masters to be specifically responsible for protecting the Thunder Cart.
In this way, nothing is lost!
