293 The Great Army attacked
"Storm Army, attack!"
Not to be outdone, Duke yelled at the Storm Army warriors in front of him, he needed this group of brave warriors to drive the monsters in front of him off the city wall in a short time.
Hearing the Lord's command from behind, the soldiers of the Storm Army felt as if they had received a new force, and they began to respond to Duke's orders with all their might.
"Storm Army, forward, forward, forward!
As the slogans were shouted, the front line of the entire storm army pressed forward again, and this group of ice demons began to retreat continuously in the face of the powerful attack of the storm army. But you must know that behind them is the city wall, and there is not much way to retreat.
And as the ice demons above the city wall began to retreat, those ice demons below the city wall who were constantly preparing to climb the city wall were also in an embarrassing situation, and they couldn't push away their own and rushed up the city wall, so there was no use.
Even as the Ice Demons' footsteps receded, some of the Ice Demons began to fall directly from the city walls. The ten-meter-high city wall, even if it is not enough to kill the ice demon or something, but it can still cause them to take some damage, and the speed of wanting to climb the city wall again is slowed down.
"Push me down, Stormtroop!"
With Duke's order again, this time the storm army on the city wall issued a neat trumpet, and all the shields were practiced into one, forcing the ice demons to keep retreating, and at this time, the ice demons on the city wall only had a thin line of defense, and the remaining ice demons had no way to compete with the storm army that had broken out, and they were finally slashed on the city wall.
"Musketeers, shoot!"
The dwarf Copperbeard, who was standing aside, also issued his own order when he saw this situation.
The Storm Fort Musket team, which had retreated because of the bullets before, had already been reloaded by this time. It's just that the Storm Army is fighting with the Ice Devils, so they can't shoot.
The city wall where the ice demon was driven down was the moment when the musket could play its role. Therefore, with this order of Bronze Whiskers, all the Storm Army musketeers rushed to the edge of the city wall, directly picked up their muskets, and shot at the ice demons who were climbing on the edge of the city wall.
The current ice demon is in an embarrassing situation, completely huddled together. You must know that this kind of taboo can be called a formation, and it is completely a target for muskets.
So this time, the effect of the musket team far exceeded the effect of the first ice demon jumping, almost two hundred muskets all hit the ice demon's body, and because it was a shotgun, some guns didn't just hit an ice demon, these two hundred shots simply hit an explosion-like effect!
When this round of muskets was fired, there were at least more than five hundred ice demon corpses on the entire Storm Castle wall, and the casualties of the Storm Army would definitely not exceed a hundred. This exaggerated battle loss ratio even Duke couldn't believe it, you must know that in the city history of Storm Castle, even if it is the reverse record, that is, a record of five to one, it is a very acceptable record for Storm Castle.
There were even times when the Holy See's Bright Army came to defend, and if it didn't count the magic casualties, it was only two to one casualties at most. That is, the number of two Light Armies for one Ice Demon, of course, this is also the result of a head-on confrontation.
It can also be seen from this that the Bright Army is indeed far more elite than the average lord army.
But now this kind of data is completely different, and Storm Castle has a scene where the Storm Army is exchanged for five Ice Demons. Moreover, in a tentative attack, the Ice Demon suffered casualties as high as 500 people, which may be a scene that has never appeared before except for the encirclement and suppression of the Holy See caused by the breach of the Storm Fortress in a hundred years.
This huge casualty finally made the fearless ice demon in the impression of mankind begin to show some horror and fear. The ice demons behind did not dare to continue to climb and attack towards the walls of Storm Castle, but chose to stagnate, and even some ice demons had plans to turn around and escape.
It was only at this time that they heard the sound of reinforcements coming from the rear, the arrival of reinforcements. In particular, the arrival of up to 8,000 reinforcements gave the first ice demons who made a tentative attack a lot of courage, and they began to regroup in preparation for a second attack on Stormcastle to redeem the shame of their defeat!
Looking at the vast army in the distance, Duke panicked in his heart at this time, the army of 10,000 ice demons and ghouls, this has to be replaced by an ordinary human army, and there are no 30,000 or 50,000 people who dare not defend the city at all. However, his entire storm army is now only a few thousand people, including a lot of cavalry troops, so they can only dismount and fight on foot by reducing their combat effectiveness.
The difference in numbers and combat effectiveness between the two sides makes this battle basically no suspense. But the battlefield has always been a place to create miracles, otherwise, there would not be so many battles in history where fewer victories and more battles appeared, so that those heroes will be famous in history!
Duke didn't want to go down in history, he only thought about the 100,000 soldiers and civilians of Storm Castle, and he wouldn't end up dead or injured because of his lord's waste. What he can do now is to do everything in his power to keep the ice demon under the city walls.
"Musketeers, get ready to shoot!"
As Stormkee's only ranged force right now, the Musketeers' shots are very important, and they are a serious blow to the Ice Demons. What's more, this mysterious stick in the eyes of the Ice Demon can not only make loud noises and breathe fire, but more importantly, it can cause a lot of casualties to them.
Just like the ancient Chinese firecrackers to scare the beasts, these muskets also caused a psychological fear for the ice demons. They began to fear the firing of these muskets, because once they were fired, there was basically no way to dodge and defend, after all, the speed of the bullets far exceeded that of ordinary bows and arrows or spears.
With Duke's order, the musketeers fired out again. However, this time it was not as exaggerated as before, and the ice demons also began to disperse a little, only causing dozens of casualties.
And the army of ghouls also came to the bottom of the walls of Stormcastle, and Duke's face became more and more grim when he saw this. Just as he was about to order the Storm Army to go up the city wall and prevent the ice demons and ghouls from climbing up.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of magic chanting behind me, and I saw Hera leading this group of witches and began to release the large magic they had prepared!
