Chapter 315: A Cloud-Piercing Arrow
After paying a terrible number of casualties, the mercenaries finally rushed through the death zone of muskets and iron ball bombs within a hundred paces of the city, and successfully engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the orc militia behind the defensive line. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the original dense formation, after several bloodlettings, the mercenaries who successfully entered hand-to-hand combat have become sparse, and then against the orc melee troops who are recuperating and recuperating and blessed with several war songs, they are very disadvantaged, but compared to just now, they can only rely on archers to fight back, I don't know how much stronger.
At this time of the war, the two sides completely entered a stalemate stage of bleeding each other, but if the mercenaries were holding small knives to bleed the steel collar, then the orcs of the steel collar were holding horn knives and opening a terrifying blood hole in the mercenaries' bodies.
For each kill or wound of an orc militia, the mercenaries have to pay at least five times more, and the stretcher teams and medics who are active in the defense line risk being shot by random arrows at any time, carry the seriously wounded off the defense line in time, and immediately carry out emergency treatment.
The mercenary side does not have this treatment, and even in this continent except for the Iron Collar, there is no force that has the concept of battlefield ambulance, and can find a priest for you to treat after the war, which is still a treatment only available to officers and above.
In addition, the best in this regard should be Modo's nemesis, the Temple of Light, the Temple of Light can do this, and that is because they have a large number of magical healing powers such as priests, and it is impossible for other forces to imitate it.
In addition, in fact, the various healing potions produced by the Wizards Guild also have an immediate effect on the treatment of various injuries, but these healing potions, like other products of the Wizards' Guild, have the same significant characteristics as high prices, scarce production, and many times cannot be bought with money.
It's not that no one has noticed that the soldiers who have recovered from serious injuries, their combat effectiveness on the battlefield is completely incomparable to that of the recruits, but even if they want to treat all the seriously injured soldiers, they are just powerless.
Therefore, Roland IX, who has a fierce eye, is not only greedy for the new technology of the Iron Collar, but also willing to pay any price for the healing methods and herbal formulas of the Iron Collar battlefield.
Wind Legend Perian actually planned to let the mercenary group consume part of the strength of the Iron Lord's defense line before dispatching his headquarters, so that he was fully confident that the loss of the Mage Guild itself would be controlled within a very low range.
However, since the war wild dogs of the mercenary force have a tendency to rebound, he is very decisive in his personality, and he still decided to invest the final and decisive force, but before that, the Jungar who dared to kill the officer of the Wizards' Guild must die.
Looking at the 70,000 infantry troops lined up neatly in battle formations and marching towards the city, as well as the mage troops who almost blinded all the forces on the continent, Perrian's heart was full of pride, unless there was a miracle, otherwise the orcs of the Iron Collar would definitely be defeated.
"Actually, I have always admired that magical little dwarf for being able to fight such a miraculous family foundation in such a short period of time and in such a difficult condition on the border of the continent. Perian, the legendary wind legend who has the chance to win, inexplicably rose up with such emotion.
Then, he felt that such an idea was unusually out of place, and shook his head away from the ridiculous idea.
"Haha, damn orcs, your end has come. "The momentum of the Magicians' Guild's huge military formation can't hide from anyone on the battlefield at all, and the mercenaries who are on the verge of collapse suddenly have a posture of resurrection with full blood after discovering this huge number of reinforcements.
The huge casualties before, as well as the huge disparity in battle losses, made them, the mercenary groups with great prestige on the Fila continent, extremely aggrieved, and at the same time, they hated these dirty orcs who were not even looked down upon before.
Therefore, their attack on the defensive line has risen a few notches all of a sudden, and for a while, the defensive pressure on some sections of the defensive line has increased out of thin air.
"Modo, let those Slavic berserkers make up for it! and immediately mobilize all the adult men in the territory, otherwise it will really be unbearable. High Priest Tracy anxiously suggested strongly to the little dwarf.
The splash of saliva sprayed Modo's face all over his face, and there was no trace of the usual indifferent expression of the holy and elegant High Priest of the Scepter of the Temple of War.
As if to confirm the words of High Priest Tracy, at this time, five freshly loaded trebuchets fired large stones at the phalanx of magicians who had already entered the range and felt to be the most threatening.
The large boulder in hundreds of catties was thrown into the air, and then in the extremely expectant eyes of the trebuchet operators, with the acceleration of the fall, it smashed towards the magician phalanx.
It's a pity that when these five big stones reached the top of the magician's phalanx, they were directly bombarded into fine stone powder by hundreds of instantaneous spells cast below, and they fell weakly on the heads and faces of these mages.
In the short period of time that followed, those unwilling operators tried their best to fire ballistas and large stones at the mage phalanx, but whether it was a ballista or a stone, at most of the time, even more than ten ballistas and large stones were fired at the same time, and there was still no result.
In this way, the phalanx of magicians slowly moved forward with an irresistible momentum, and at the same time, the morale of the rest of the troops that was more and more inspired greatly increased, and even the three legends and nearly a hundred saint-level powerhouses behind the formation nodded frequently.
Wind Mage Perian looked around for a while and said, "Let's step forward for all kinds!" there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle, we should take down that little dwarf, otherwise it will be a trouble for him to run away." ”
"But I'm here to emphasize that according to the supreme resolution of the council, that little dwarf can only be captured alive, not killed, and you must know that he still has a damn rift in his hands, and you can't push him to the brink, or everyone will be doomed. Perian solemnly admonished everyone.
Finally, he gave the legendary sorcerer Deboraya, a warning that was self-evident, and then exchanged glances with Pias, with the obvious idea that if the madwoman went mad at that time, he would stop her anyway.
