Chapter 165: Strategy
The lion camel said: "Marshal Lion Derian, the significance of this war to our clan is self-evident, the next command will be by the old general you, full responsibility, including me, all the people will unconditionally obey the dispatch of the old marshal, the old marshal, please rest assured, the matter of Tietu will be solved by the four of us." ”
Lion Camel's words gave Lion Derian enough power, but at the same time, it also made Lion Derian have great pressure: "Your Majesty, the old minister will take the lead and die." ”
Shi Derian took Shi Meier and Shi Ke back to the tent, Shi Meier said: "Now that there are four patriarchs to make a move, I think this is equivalent to canceling out the magician troops and Tietu of the Xili Kingdom. ”
"Yes, what we need to worry about now is how to break through the fortress of Isour, that damn fortress, for decades, but it will be strengthened and strengthened and strengthened again. ”
"Although we have a certain advantage in numbers, the human race can still offset some of our advantages by relying on the strong city walls, as well as the masters of the Juggernaut level, and those low-level magic. ”
Shikov said: "I have an idea, we can enrich the masters of the Great Sword Master, or even the Master of the Sword Master, into ordinary soldiers, their task is to reduce the damage of magicians or the Black Iron Army to ordinary soldiers, and the effect of this is far greater than the effect of turning them into a force." ”
Shi Derian said: "This suggestion is very good, but it needs to be slightly changed, my strategist is a three-way feint, and a soldier is a single-point attack, I will put all the great sword masters into this team, and in addition, let the three of Sword Saint Nato, Pacini, and Cassano mix into the team, and you and I, the three of you, are ready to support at any time in the back, and I will use tomorrow's battle to break through the eastern wall of the fortress." ”
Shimeier said: "This is indeed an extremely feasible plan, if we attack the city from all sides, even if the whole army is dispatched, there are only 500,000 people on each wall, and the strong city of the human race, plus the magician and other factors, can directly offset the advantage of our 500,000 people, and it is extremely stupid to divide the army into three ways." ”
Shi Derian said: "Yes, that's why we should attack the enemy's point, I believe that if we make such a big move, the other three human beings will react soon, we must break through the Isu fortress before the arrival of the three human kingdoms." ”
"Yes, on the first day of the war, few people would have thought that we would be so desperate that we would just take them by surprise. ”
What Shikov said is indeed very true, on the first day of the war, few people would think that the orcs would send all their elites to attack one side in a desperate way, and once they failed, it was not only a matter of how many people were lost, but also a great blow to morale.
Even so, Tietu and Gruxi felt that the possibility of the orcs being surprised was very high, and late at night, the conference room of the city hall had become the military headquarters of the Xili Kingdom, and all kinds of information were constantly gathered here.
Grusi said: "Generalissimo, if I were an enemy, I would definitely concentrate my forces and attack a little. ”
Tietu said: "Well, I think so too, this battle is very different from the battle of Longling City, the battle of Longling City, we are caught off guard, there are only 200,000 defenders in the entire Longling City, and Longling City is surrounded by mountains on both sides, the beasts have no choice but to attack one side, this time, we are likely to be attacked by the beasts on all sides, but we are not favorable." ”
Grushi said: "The south side of the city wall is the rear of our army, if the beast clan mobilizes the army to attack the south, I think it will lose its suddenness, after all, it is extremely difficult to mobilize the army around the city wall, and it is extremely difficult to hide, and the north is the main gate of the fortress, and it is also the last place of the city wall, I think the east and west sides are the most likely to be attacked." ”
Tietu said: "This time, our situation will be extremely bad, the beast king lion camel, and the patriarchs of the three tribes of the beast clan are all here, I and Beate's magic troops will definitely become the focus of these four guys' attention, once the war starts, you will need to take command, and I may have to show my face." ”
Grushi said: "Generalissimo, could it be that you said that they are the ones you said?"
Tietu smiled: "They can't cause harm to me, at most they just drag me down, you remember, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, if the beast army concentrates on attacking a little, even if the city wall is strong, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be breached, and all you have to do is to consume as much of the living force of the beast army as possible." ”
"Yes, Generalissimo," said Grusi. Tietu's words have reduced the pressure that Grushi has been carrying in his heart a lot, and Grousi knows very well that everyone has always relied on Tietu and thrown all the pressure on him, including himself, and has always had this thought.
Early the next morning, Lion Derian concentrated an army of one million and attacked the east wall, while the other one million troops attacked the two outer sides of the city wall, and in the direction of the city gate on the south side, Lion Derian did not send an orc army to attack.
Tietu is no longer in the headquarters, and Gruxi is in charge of the full command, and the battle reports are constantly reported to Gruxi, relying solely on the observation of the front-line generals, it is impossible to distinguish where the center of gravity of the attack of the beast clan is, if you judge it with the naked eye, it is impossible to distinguish the difference between 300,000 and 1 million, anyway, it is all a piece of black pressure.
On the east side of the city wall, Montgomery and Field led the Third Army to defend together, according to the length, only a maximum of 30,000 soldiers can be placed on the wall, and the other 170,000 soldiers can be used as reserves to replenish at any time.
In order to appear as inconspicuous as possible, the two marshals chose the general's costume instead of the marshal's costume.
According to the length of the east wall, the number of troops that the orcs can deploy at one time is about 100,000, in order to be able to quickly break through this wall, Lion Derian transferred all the orc soldiers who are good at throwing spears to the east wall to suppress the human archers.
These 10,000 spear-throwers suppressed the human archers to the death, and the spear-throwers' attack range was stronger than that of the archers, but the spear-throwers had a fatal shortcoming, that is, they could not continue to attack, because the arm strength required by the head hair was much greater than the arm strength required by the bow and arrow, so the spear-throwers could not continue to fight.
This is not the case with human archers, especially crossbowmen, who use simple principles to greatly reduce the power used by humans, although the attack range is not as good as that of spearthrowers, but they can continue to suppress attacks.
Lion Derian naturally knows the weakness of the spearman, but as long as he can suppress the human crossbowman for a while, it is enough, and the huge siege vehicle, in the process of the spearman's suppression, has slowly driven under the city wall.
The general in charge of the front line was named Vidic, who saw the siege engines of the beasts, and hurriedly organized soldiers to attack, and the soldiers shot the ignited arrows at those siege vehicles, and Vidic knew very well that once these siege engines were brought close to the city walls, it would be an extremely terrible disaster for the city walls.
Siege engines were first invented by humans, and for humans, military technology is not strictly secret, but for the orcs, this military technology should not be passed on, but over time, those countries that are not adjacent to the orcs, such as the Slo military empire, the merchants in the Carolingian Empire, will always risk their lives to sell some military technology to the orcs.
Although many merchants were caught by the intelligence agencies of various countries and sentenced to death, they still could not hinder the trade of military technology, and many of the military technologies of humans were obtained by the orcs, but the relatively simple manufacturing technology of bows and arrows has not been used by the orcs, and the orcs prefer to use spears.
Some soldiers were just about to shoot rockets, but they were hit by spears, and Vidic continued to organize soldiers to fight back, but the pressure of the orc spears was too great, and 10,000 orc spearmen firmly suppressed the human archers.
At the same time, Lionsian was behind the orc spearman, and was ordering people to set up a catapult, the components of the catapult are very complex, and a catapult can be assembled in fifteen minutes at the earliest.
Once these catapults are fully assembled, they can adjust the scale of supply and directly attack the city walls, or the buildings in the city, although the distance is not close, but like the big ones in the catapults, once assembled, their height is not very short.
Vidic ran down the city wall and hurriedly ran to the headquarters to report, this is the headquarters of Montgomery and Field, Vidic said: "Your Excellency, the orcs are assembling trebuchets, their spear-throwers are constantly suppressing, and the siege engines are also near the city. ”
Montgomery said, "I personally went to the city wall to supervise the battle. ”
"Use the bed crossbow at once, and set up the catapult for me," said Field. ”
Montgomery and Vidic climbed the walls, while Field commanded the soldiers to set up catapults, and huge bed crossbows were quickly erected on the walls, capable of firing arrows up to three meters in length, mainly in preparation for the siege.
However, the work of the bed crossbow today is not to attack the city wall, but to attack the siege vehicle, and the spear continues to pierce the body of the bed crossbowman, but one falls, and the other soldier will soon make up for it, and after paying a huge number of casualties, the bed crossbow is finally fired.
The siege city was pierced directly and accurately by the huge bow and arrow, and the siege city was instantly torn apart, and after a volley of bed crossbows, there was not much left of the siege vehicles, and at the same time, the attack of the orc spearmen was temporarily stopped.
The soldiers on the city wall just breathed a sigh of relief, the huge stone smashed accurately on the city wall, the beast clan's catapult had been completed, and after a few rounds of attacks, cracks had appeared in the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall had been killed and wounded again.
Huge stones were also thrown from the inside of the city wall, and these stones produced a huge explosion when they fell into the camp of the beasts, fortunately, the beasts had already organized a charge at this time, but the soldiers in the formation had been greatly damaged, and several catapults were damaged
