Chapter 1386: Evenly matched
If it weren't for the Divine Blessing Army going out alone this time, Huang Fufei would not have pulled out the heavy artillery.
In fact, although the heavy artillery is not conducive to traveling, it can still be carried out if the rails are laid in advance. So around the heavy artillery, a large number of rails are needed, as well as a large number of rail paving and dismantling workers.
The reason why the 1st Division moved slowly was here.
From Wabu Town to Hun Evil King City, and with the completion of the entire legion, the railroad tracks were laid very quickly. But the transfer on the battlefield is entirely up to the 1st Division itself. Limited to manpower, the movement of heavy artillery was, of course, slow.
In the end, the Emperor Fu is an experienced commander, and the heavy artillery is not in place, so he relies on the existing equipment to block the orcs on the fortifications that have already been built.
At this time, if the defenders in the city rush out and inflict a two-sided attack on the 1st Division, the 1st Division will be in danger.
But the Emperor Fu had already eaten to death, and the guards in the city did not dare to come out. Only half of the regiment was there to bluff and attack the city, and they frightened the defenders, not daring to move at all.
At this time, although there was no heavy artillery in the hands of the Emperor Fu, there were many bed crossbows, which were different from heavy artillery, and the bed crossbows could be disassembled and assembled on site. The bed crossbow fires no psionic energy at all, and fires javelin-sized arrows entirely by physical action.
Although the effect of the Magic Shield Breaker is not as good as the Demon Breaker Arrow, it can attack the orc's body through the magic shield, using the impact force to inflict serious damage on the orc soldiers.
The most important thing is that the bed crossbow does not consume psionic energy! With the bed crossbow pestle there, you can fire a steady stream of long arrows without worrying about the consumption of psionic energy.
Moreover, rows of bed crossbow salvos can cause great shock to the orcs, especially the orcs who are shot by the bed crossbow, without exception, their bodies are shattered, flesh and blood are flying, and the death is extremely miserable, which is easy to panic the orcs in the morning.
At this time, the Emperor Fu personally sat on the front line to command the battle, and he didn't want to use the precious magician resources at this time. After all, being in the territory of the orcs, it is the best strategy to preserve your strength to deal with the adverse situations that may occur at any time.
With the help of the onslaught of the bed crossbow and the interception of the two flanks of the heavy cavalry, the 1st Division successfully blocked the way of the orc reinforcements, forming a tug-of-war in front of the fortifications.
The two sides continued to throw troops into the fight. There are very few wolf cavalry in the orc troops, but the heavy cavalry of the first division is the main force, and the siege has not been given a chance to play.
Although the wolf cavalry of the orcs is not afraid of the heavy cavalry of the first division, they can't stand the number too small, and the heavy cavalry impacts the infantry formation of the orcs, which is simply a tiger entering the wolf pack and biting unscrupulously.
Under the pressure of the heavy cavalry, the orcs were forced to use the shaman mage again, and let the shaman mage bless the orc infantry to fight the heavy cavalry.
The Emperor Fu had the real-time intelligence support of Cai Ling'er, and he learned about it as soon as possible, and before the orcs came back, the Emperor Fu had already let the heavy cavalry retreat and rest, and replaced it with a cavalry archer.
The cavalry archers are light cavalry, and they are more flexible on the battlefield, and the orc infantry has been blessed by shamans, and the speed is not inferior to the heavy cavalry, but it is still a little worse than the light cavalry. Let's look for books
It was this difference in speed that the Emperor Fu took advantage of to make the cavalry archers get away and shoot demon-breaking arrows at the orc infantry, removing the blessing effect of their shamanic spells.
The battlefield was small, and there was not much room for the cavalry archers to maneuver. Cavalry archers often turned back a few times, and then there was no room to retreat, so they had to retreat. The next battle still relied on the heavy cavalry that had just retreated.
The cavalry archers left the field and immediately turned into archers and shot at the depths of the orc's formation.
Originally, the Demon Breaker Arrow required two people to operate at the same time before it could be fired. However, the improved Demon Breaker Bow can consume psionic energy to free up one person, and one person can operate the shooting. It is with this level of progress that there is a new class of cavalry archers. Especially on the battlefield of humans and beasts, the arrows shot by ordinary cavalry archers do not cause much damage to orc soldiers, and are almost useless, and can only win a place in the human war. Now equipped with a devastating Demon Breaker Bow, the Mounted Archers finally have a bright future.
The Divine Blessing Army that went into battle this time is supported by the latest human war technology, but the orcs on the opposite side are not the main force of the orcs, it is the border rotation force, and it is not difficult to understand that they are at a disadvantage in an all-round way.
In order to maintain the balance of power on the battlefield, the orcs can only desperately squeeze the potential of the shaman, and send the shaman mage to the frontline soldiers again and again to bless the shaman buff effect.
Fortunately, there are many shaman teams on the front line of Wabu Town, mainly because the main force of the human army is the mage group, in order to prevent the attack of the human army, on the border, the orcs have mobilized a large number of shamans.
Today's battle, it is precisely because of the desperate output of shamans that this can be maintained forever and has not been penetrated by the human army.
No matter how good the heavy cavalry equipment is, in the end it is also an ordinary human being, and the strength is already inferior to the orcs, and now the orcs have increased their holdings with the shaman, and the strength is even more crushing.
Of course, the Emperor Fu Yuan would not let the heavy cavalry under his command go up to death in vain, and used the method of rotating multiple teams of heavy cavalry to make the heavy cavalry in front withdraw in time and replace them with new forces.
But it can't be so perfect when it comes to rotation, there are always all kinds of differences and accidents. Every time they rotated, the heavy cavalry had to be chased and slashed by the orcs, and they suffered heavy casualties.
The Emperor finally couldn't look at it, gritted his teeth, and sent his own trump card troops: the Praetorian Guard, which was composed entirely of spiritual monks!
This is the personal guard of the Emperor Fu Yuan, and they will not be used in ordinary battles. This time, unless the Emperor Fu was willing to send a group of magicians, he really had no choice but to let the Praetorian Guards go up.
In the calculations of the Emperor Fu Father, the siege war, the Praetorian Guard played little role, far inferior to the Magician Regiment. Keep the mage group, and if there is any unexpected situation in the siege battle later, the mage group can also come forward and forcibly defeat it.
If the precious spiritual energy of the Wizard Regiment is consumed here, the Emperor Fu Yuan will have no backhand, which is a fatal mistake for a commander.
The Praetorian Guard Corps received the order and immediately set out, and the black horse, black armor and black flag, like a moving dark cloud on the battlefield, suddenly revealed a hideous face, and swept viciously towards the orc troops.
There was still some distance from the orc forward, and the Praetorian Guard suddenly shot out in unison, and a piece of weapon spirit sword was sacrificed, like a rain of swords, enveloping supreme power to kill the orc soldiers.
It is said that the orc infantry blessed by shamanic spells cannot be harmed by ordinary spells at all. Although the members of the Praetorian Guard are all cultivators, their rank is not high, and it is very difficult for them to break through the orc infantry blessed by shamanic spells with their abilities.
