Chapter 261: A Pyrrhic Victory
Dog Meat flew over the Orc Emperor ** team with the giant eagles and began to throw stone projectiles downward. These projectiles were made by the Cyclops using spells, each weighing about eighty kilograms, and were thrown from a height of fifteen floors, equivalent to more than a ton of impact when they hit the ground.
"Well, we used to be attacked by airstrikes, so let them taste it this time. ”
Little Medusavina suffered greatly from the air raids, and now when she saw that the situation was reversed, she immediately waved and shouted.
But then Vina couldn't laugh, and saw a light blue light curtain suddenly appear above the enemy's head, and the stone projectiles thrown by the eagles smashed on this layer of light curtain like a gum tree, and soon stopped moving, and finally the light curtain bounced off and fell to the ground.
"Defend against the magic array!"
Clark said through gritted teeth.
In the military formation of the Orc Empire, the commander in full body armor rode on a huge wild wolf, with a sinister smile on his face, and in his hand was a dark magic scroll, on which sparkling and obviously a treasure.
"Hmph, dirt buns, think the first two stones can defeat us?"
The commander scoffed, and then shouted to the crossbowmen in front: "Crossbows ready to fire a salvo!"
The crossbowmen who received the order skillfully picked up the giant crossbow in their hands and aimed at Sun Licheng's array, and with the commander's order, hundreds of crossbow arrows flew into the sky.
"Oh no! Order the troops to prepare for defense!"
Sun Licheng didn't expect that the crossbow arrows shot by those crossbowmen could fly so far that they flew over a kilometer and stabbed fiercely at the soldiers in front of him.
But at this time, it was already late, and with a scream, the front of the flower king ** seemed to be gnawed off by a monster, and more than a hundred people rolled on the ground.
"Order the Cyclops to attack from a distance! Order the artillery to fire! Order the Eagle to continue the air strike!"
Seeing so many casualties among his men at the next time, Sun Licheng's heart ached, and he stared at his eyes and gave three orders in a row.
Soon, amid the roar of artillery and the whistling of stone shells, long-range counterfire began.
"Musket regiment!", Grant stood at the front of the musket queue, raised his sword in his hand and shouted: "Forward!"
"Tiger!", thousands of goblin musketeers roared, picked up the muskets in their hands, and then under the command of the waist drum, they took neat steps and pressed towards the orc emperor. At the same time, hundreds of battle golems came out brandishing their weapons and guarded the musket array.
The musketeers of this regiment were the most elite troops under Sun Licheng, and even in the face of the enemy's archers, the formation was not flustered, and the sound of the drums put heavy pressure on the commander of the Orc Empire.
Although the magic scroll in his hand was very powerful, he couldn't resist such a crazy long-range attack, and soon, the outermost light curtain began to tremble.
"You can't continue to be beaten like this. ”
Seeing the light curtain shaking more and more, the orc commander made a decision in his heart.
"Knights!", the commander shouted with a wave of his sword, "Attack!"
Hearing the commander's order, the nearly 100 members of the Earth Dragon Knights began to urge the Earth Dragon under their crotch, and the Earth Dragon raised its head to the sky and howled, then spread its hooves and rushed out towards the musket array.
"Order the artillery to bombard those dragoons!"
Seeing the menacing Earth Dragon Knight, Sun Licheng gave an order to Mr. Skillful. In a few moments, more than a dozen bronze cannonballs were smashed towards the cavalry.
What Sun Licheng didn't expect was that these Earth Dragons looked very tall and bulky, but they were actually extremely flexible, and they easily dodged in the face of the speeding cannonballs. As a result, except for one of the earth dragons who were unlucky and were smashed to the ground by a vibrating egg, the rest of the cavalry was not damaged at all.
"The mechanical golem comes forward to protect the musketeers!"
Seeing that the artillery did not work, the leader of the mechanical golem hurriedly gave an order to his subordinates, and soon, the mechanical golem gathered in front of the musket array, set up the weapons in their hands, and immediately, a steel jungle appeared.
Seeing these heavy mechanical puppets, there was no fear in the eyes of the cavalry, but a stronger killing intent. They frantically urged the dragon to do so, and at the same time straightened the end of the mounted spear in their arms and rushed towards the mechanical golem's defenses.
"Prepare to ramble!"
As soon as the leader of the mechanical puppet issued the order, a huge crashing sound was heard continuously, and in the face of the tank-like ground dragoons, the steel body of the mechanical puppet more than three meters tall was lifted into the sky like a rag doll.
"Shoot!"
By the time the mechanical golems responded to the onslaught of the Dragon, the goblin musket regiment was already standing, and as Grant shouted, the deafening sound of muskets covered the battlefield.
"Hmph, the armor of the Earthwalking Dragoons is the best in the Orc Empire, see how you can hurt them. ”
The orc commander snorted coldly, looked at the cavalry who had only fallen a few, and sneered.
"How so?"
Finding that there were few results in the musket battle, Grant and Sun Licheng were stunned.
"Carolyn, we must go up for reinforcements!"
Sun Licheng shouted, then urged the big teeth and ran towards the battlefield. Immediately afterward, Caroline and the people behind her followed.
By the time Sun Licheng arrived at the battlefield, it had become a Shura field, where the Dixing Dragoons were wreaking havoc, and even if they had the power of heroes, the musketeers could not stop the impact of the dragon's horns on the Dixing.
"Death Blast!"
Seeing the heavy casualties of his subordinates, Sun Licheng could almost tear the corners of his eyes, he jumped down his big teeth and launched his skills against the nearest Dixing dragoon.
I only heard a loud bang, and the earthly dragon like a hill was knocked out by Sun Licheng.
"What's going on?"
Seeing the earth-walking dragon fall to the ground fiercely, unable to get up for a long time, the orc commander who pressed the formation was stunned.
When the other cavalrymen saw that their companions had been defeated, they immediately surrounded them with large guns, but at this time, Caroline, the female ogre god of war, arrived.
A burst of light flashed, and the more than six-meter-tall ogre god of war appeared on the battlefield, followed by a cold flash, and immediately, several cavalrymen screamed and fell to the ground.
The orc commander was completely stupid, where had he ever seen such a tough guy.
But at this time, the disaster of the earthly dragoons had just begun, because mammoths and steam golems had also arrived on the battlefield, followed by a large number of cyclops.
The Earth Dragon is a low-end existence among the wurms, and there is nothing special about it except for its tall stature, so it can become the mount of the Pigs. When they faced goblins and battle golems, they were able to rely on the size difference to take advantage, but the mammoths and steam golems were about the same size as them, and the cyclops were even bigger.
"Order the troops to retreat!"
Seeing the dragoons fall one by one, the orc commander gritted his teeth ruthlessly, gave the order to retreat, and then was the first to turn the wolf's head and run into the distance.
When the sun was setting in the west, Sun Licheng finally ended the pursuit, and in this battle, they knocked down a total of seventy-five earthly dragoons and eliminated nearly two hundred crossbowmen, but unfortunately let the opposing commander escape.
"Boss, Grant's musket regiment is out of combat. ”
In the face of the casualty figures reported by Mr. Qiaoshou, Sun Licheng did not have the slightest joy of victory. Because of his own negligence and miscalculation of the enemy's strength, nearly 300 goblin musketeers fell to this land forever, and more than 40 mechanical golems were reimbursed.
"Command to find the wounded and clean up the battlefield. ”
Sun Licheng sighed, and while giving an order to Mr. Skillful, he began to draw a healing magic array.
The next day, Sun Licheng received accurate information that an army of 10,000 orcs entered the Goblin Kingdom at the invitation of the Goblin King Clarence, and has now reached the city of Monksba.
"Alright, let's get it all done. ”
Sun Licheng, who was studying the orc armor, stood up after listening to the report, threw the armor aside, and muttered to himself.
Immediately afterwards, he shouted to Mr. Skillful Hand: "Order the army to march, target, the city of Monksba!"
