Chapter 847: Kiss of Victory

Abagon's original intention was that if his master was defeated, he could also retreat to the Dragon Hill, but he didn't expect that all these supplies would come in handy.

Of course, the ogres are also indispensable to the effects of these rudimentary weapons, they are stupid but powerful, and the operation of the projection vehicle is not complicated, under the whip of the whip, after thousands of training, they finally learned all the processes.

As early as when Downton was adventuring in the underworld, Rosicky had already selected some natives for high-intensity training, not to deal with other dukes, but to have a strong army available when he returned to the Snow Man Empire in the future.

"Hurry up!"

Thyssen urged.

Hey!

The ogre shouted a trumpet, shirtless, and worked hard.

A total of 100 catapults were arranged on the position, each with a rack ten meters high and a projection arm of twenty meters long, which gave them a terrifying range of 1,500 yards.

The range of the catapult increases, in order to ensure that it does not disintegrate, it is natural to increase the strength of the frame, and the wood required is bound to be more, and some key parts are riveted with alloy steel, and the weight naturally becomes larger.

As we all know, the more people in a project, the more difficult it is to manage, the more difficult it is to coordinate, and the more likely it is to be chaotic, but with ogres, only seven people can complete it, and the extra three are reserve personnel, and they are also responsible for towing the projection vehicle to achieve the purpose of rapid transfer and deployment of positions.

In recent days, relying on the projection vehicle, Downton has caused a lot of trouble to the Northern Army, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many soldiers on the other side, the casualty ratio was not obvious, and those guys would have been beaten up and cried for their mother.

Four ogres stand on either side of the catapult. Stirring the winch to lower the projection arm that had completed an attack, the leather cord made of the hamstrings of the Hero-tier monster creaked as it continued to taut.

Once the projector arm was fully lowered, the ogre captain immediately moved the stub and secured it. At the same time, one ogre carried a log bomb soaked in fire oil from a nearby cargo box and placed it in a groove at the top of the projection arm, and the other stabbed it with a torch, which ignited as soon as it was leaned on.

"Car One, launch!"

After the captain finished shouting, he picked up the mallet and smashed it the bracket.

Jump!

The bamboo shoot bounced off, and the unrestrained projection arm bounced up quickly, directly throwing the burning log projectile out. It then landed in the town of Fore, bursting into a cloud of sparks.

The cavalry regiment threw around the catapult position, but could not do anything, and outside the town, three infantry teams of 1,000 men gathered and began to charge with shields.

A regiment of archers was also urgently transferred and hurled towards the position.

The arrows are like locusts, covering the earth.

"The hosts. Are you going to go out?"

Thyssen, who is now the commander of the three thousand ogre natives. Can't wait to get over the general's addiction.

"Wait!"

Downton refused.

"It's past the mean time!"

Xia Luo took it out of her arms and glanced at it, if in normal times, the mage group had already appeared and launched a counterattack.

"Master, there are signs of cavalry movement on both sides of the position!"

A dark ranger appeared, whispering.

"Tsk. The commander of the other party wants to take advantage of my greed to expand the results of the battle while the mage group is not there, and carry out an encirclement and annihilation operation!"

Downton sneered, "Stop attacking and retreat!"

As Jackson repeats the command. Immediately after the shooting, the ogres pulled out the iron drill that held the catapult from the ground, dragged it, and began to evacuate in an orderly manner.

"It's a really nice design, but it adds two wheels to the catapult, and it makes it a lot easier to move around immediately. ”

Homer lamented that for thousands of years, people's impression of catapults was fixed use, used to siege or defend cities, and they never thought of using it in the field, because it was too inconvenient.

When Downton proposed this small change, Rosicky and Barty, who had the highest military literacy, looked at him, dumbfounded, and did not speak for a long time.

Even a great polymath like Homer is willing to bow to the wind.

Of course, Downton wouldn't tell them, the field guns he had seen in his dreams were designed like this, but in fact, the Western Turen didn't expect this improvement, and it still had a lot to do with the way they fought.

In the dream world, large equipment such as catapults can be offensive and defensive weapons, accounting for a large proportion of wars, but in the Western Earth Continent, their role is weakened, and the mage regiment is the siege weapon, and there are also siege beasts.

Only third-rate countries with no money and no technical reserves use catapults, like the Nine Great Empires, which use huge siege vehicles, full mechanical mechanisms, and magic power, and even second-rate countries also have a large number of war beasts in captivity, they are tall and can directly climb on the city wall, and the task of the soldiers is to step on them and rush into the city.

Because of the existence of magic and magic energy, the siege warfare of the Western Earth Continent is another form of shì, and the tactics used are completely different.

"Didn't catch up?"

Looking at the burning town of Fore, the streets were littered with charred corpses, and a pungent stench permeated, Commander Kevin's face turned pale.

"The other party is very cunning and does not fight head-on at all!"

The commander of the Third Corps was so angry that he lost two thousand troops in the round of blows just now.

"These damn rats, give the order to go down, speed up the march, and leave the western frontier as soon as possible!"

Kevin cursed, he could only give up the plan to trouble them, the main city was urging very urgently, otherwise he could have laid a net to surround and kill the enemy,

"Sir, they're not pursuing!" the Dark Ranger knelt down on one knee and reported the situation, "The vanguard of the Northern Army has entered the pine forest section!"

"Got it, keep watching!"

Downton looked at the map, marked several lots with a pen, then took out his pocket watch and began to calculate the time when the opposing army would all enter the pine forest section.

"Thyssen, Barty, Arnold, Quasimodo, from now on, you will disperse and lead the team, take twenty catapults as a unit, increase the frequency of attacks, and change places every ten rounds of projection, be sure to keep the enemy's nerves in tension!"

"Yes!"

The four cronies stood up and saluted, then turned to leave.

"Sir. What about me?"

Jackson pointed to his nose and looked at Downton expectantly.

"Go prepare food and hot water for the soldiers!"

Downton casually responded, now that it was the critical point of the war, how could he have the leisure to care about the mood of a ghoul.

"That's Abagon's mission!"

Jackson muttered.

"Get out!"

Downton yelled, and Jackson quickly shrunk his neck and dodged.

The army of the North was 150,000. marching on the avenue, it was more than ten kilometers long, and when it encountered Downton's harassment tactics of changing places with one shot, it was simply abused and wanted to cry without tears.

With such a long team, it is not easy to defend it all, and when it comes to individual strength, it is simply impossible to defeat Downton's corps, and it is not waiting to organize cavalry to charge. Those damn natives are gone, and even if they do, they don't have much chance of winning.

The cavalry restrained the infantry, but look at what Downton's troops are? The minotaur and the bear goblin are not of the highest grade, and the rest are ogres, abominations, dwarves, and even Krupp giants, all of which are powerful races that can blow up war horses with one punch.

When a dozen horsemen fought around a Krupp, they were finally blown to pieces by someone wielding a huge war hammer. The cavalry siege greatly reduced the momentum and began to act perfunctorily. As long as the enemy withdraws, it will not be pursued with all its might at all.

Commander Kevin ordered the march to speed up, but instead gave the soldiers the wrong signal that they could not cope with the harassment of the other side, so some faint tension appeared.

The next afternoon, the Death Knight Cavalry and the Dark Ranger Rangers arrived.

"Hurry up and eat and rest. At dusk, launch a general attack!"

Seeing Trist lead most of the cavalry back on time, Downton finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave the final order.

"What's going on?"

Jackson was puzzled and looked left and right. I found that no one cared about me at all.

"Are you talking? Didn't you follow your master to besiege the main city of the western realm? Why did you run back? What about the master? Will there be danger?"

Jackson grabbed Trist by the collar and asked with a hideous face.

"Don't you understand, here's the master!"

Trist slapped Jackson's hand away, wondering why he hadn't guessed Downton's identity yet.

"Huh?"

Jackson was startled and looked at the Blackarmor Commander.

"Shut up, if you have any doubts, we'll talk about it when this battle is over!"

At the moment of the war, Downton's statement that he was not nervous was false, but in order to maintain his majesty and give his subordinates confidence, he had to put on a posture of holding a pearl of wisdom.

"It turns out that the raid on the main city of the southern border is fake, your real target is the army that invaded the western border, but the army of 150,000, even if you tie your hands and let us kill, you can't cut it until dawn!"

Jackson suddenly realized, even the natives who swore allegiance can't believe it, maybe there is a guy who sees the money and tells the truth, even if he doesn't, he is caught by the enemy's scouts, he may be tortured, and if the enemy knows that Downton is here, he can directly guess his combat intentions.

Quasimodo covered Jackson's mouth and dragged it away.

Downton sat on a tree stump, looking through the branches and leaves of the forest, looking at the clear sky as the sun was setting.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll make it!"

Xia Luo walked over and whispered comfort.

"Hmm!"

Celes nodded vigorously, her slender white fingers twisted together, and she wanted to comfort Downton at such a critical time, but she couldn't say a word because she was shy and timid.

"Can you give me a kiss of victory?"

Downton was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke, this battle, if he loses, all the qiē he has accumulated is over, with his character, he will never survive, so he wants to get the kiss of the virtuous wolf before the death battle.

"Huh?"

Xia Luo was stunned.

"I'm sorry, I was presumptuous!"

Downton smiled self-deprecatingly and got up to leave.

Looking at Downton passing by, Xia Luo hesitated, but still grabbed him, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.

"Ahh

Celes exclaimed, covering her cheeks shyly, but her fingers were wide open, and she secretly observed them.

"This kiss has nothing to do with love, it's my wish you victory!"

Charlotte let go of Downton, looked him in the eye, and explained in a low voice.

Whoa!

At some point, not only Quasimodo's descendants, but also ogres and barbarians gathered around, and when they saw this scene, they all cheered loudly.

"Gentlemen, bloody battle, then triumphant, drink the wine of victory!"

A smile appeared on Downton's lips, then he clenched his fists and raised them high, hissing and roaring!

"Bloody battle!"

"Triumph!"

The soldiers raised their arms and responded feverishly to the shouts of the commander-in-chief!

Beyoncé rode on the black panther, looking at Downton's sharp determination, and suddenly had a heart-warming feeling, this kind of man was the object of her affection.

Cele clenched her hands to her chest, and looked at Downton with adoring eyes.

"Bloody battle, triumphant!"

Riding on the back of the bone dragon, Little Walnut shouted hoarsely, more fanatical than anyone else, as Downton's most loyal admirer, Little Lori firmly believed that Big Brother would definitely defeat all enemies and pick the fruits of victory.

There are flocks of birds flying in the forest, and the momentum is burning the sky!

"Attack!"

With Downton's command, the drow elves stepped onto their mounts, like light civets and ethereal ghosts, leaping through the woods.

The Death Knights were calm and condensed, like a sharp steel knife out of the sheath, lined up in a neat formation, and rushed to the battlefield.

When the dwarves and the Krupp heavy cavalry regiments attacked, the barbarian cavalry regiments, the indigenous legions, and the foreign orc regiments were also under the command of the generals, carrying tower shields and pulling catapults, and rushed to the blocking point.

The human corps with the smallest number of people looked at this scene, and suddenly felt that following Downton was also a good choice, this kind of military situation, what enemy could not be broken?

Buzz!

The low sound of the propellers stirring the air waved, and the human soldiers looked up and saw ten steam airships in a neat array, flying through the sky, the orange sunset, dyed them with dazzling colors, and then the huge ancient spear, although they could not see it, but they knew that the battle flag representing the western realm was planted on the flagship to hunt in the wind, announcing the existence of the Duke of Downton!

After several days of feints, the prelude to the final war finally began.

A team of sentries heard the roar in the forest, and their faces changed dramatically.

"You go back and report, and the others and I go and see what's going on?"

can be selected as a ranger, this team of sentries are all elite, and they are naturally not afraid of death, but being bold does not mean that they can make up for the gap in strength.

"Yes!"

The named sentinel turned his horse's head and whipped his horse's ass with a fierce whip, but less than three meters away, a short arrow came through the diagonal thorn and pierced his temple.

Poof!

The sentry scout fell from his horse, one foot still hanging on the horse's pedal, and was dragged out of the distance by the galloping war horse, and his skin was open.

"Alert, prepare for battle!"

As the captain shouted, the sentinels also drew their weapons, but they were shot with short arrows without even seeing the shadow of the enemy. (To be continued......)
