Chapter 217: The Offensive and Defensive Battle Begins

The Nims Fortress, the Xingmang Fortress, the auxiliary defensive walls on both sides of it have not yet been completed, but Lin Feng is not too worried, according to Shore's intelligence, the orc army that attacked this time is only more than 50,000 people from the two orc tribes, Lin Feng believes that if he can't capture the Xingmang Fortress, the commander of this army will definitely not risk the risk of being cut off and bypass here.

It was also based on this judgment that Lin Feng asked Locklan and Kivica to guard the Starlight Ridge Fort with heavy troops, and inside the Black Rock Territory, except for the Night Fortress, which was also guarded by an army, the other areas near the Nims Fortress had been evacuated by him, even if there was that case, well, Lin Feng didn't mind "closing the door and beating the dog".

"According to Shore's intelligence, the army under the hand-shaped banner should belong to the Black Hand Clan, and the other black banner should be the army of the Boulder Clan, well, the main force of the Black Hand Tribe is the heavy shield infantry, they are similar to our heavy shield infantry, basically a heavy shield per person, and the main force of the Boulder Tribe is those orc brute soldiers, who seem to be very good at kicking the city to fight. ”

"Maybe you know that cavalry is not very useful in siege warfare, their two tribes only brought a thousand cavalry each this time, and you have also fought against these brute bear cavalry and Kodo beast cavalry, so try to avoid direct conflict with them this time, after all, our cavalry has not fully recovered its combat effectiveness yet. ”

"Lockland, you will be in charge of the guards on the east side of the fortress in a while, Kivica will be in charge of the west side, and I will be in charge of the front, this battle may drag on for a while, you all have to grasp the scale, in addition to the reserves, the other defenders must do a good job of rotation, in short, we have one goal, drag down these orcs and seize the opportunity to severely damage them!"

After Rory chattered, Lin Feng let the two of them out, "I didn't see it, you still have such a talkative side, they are lucky to have a lord like you." As he spoke, a person suddenly turned out of the compartment, but it was the seventeenth-level Kalido Wizard who had arrived.

This is also Lin Feng's backhand, in order to ensure that the Nims Fortress is foolproof, he has already agreed with Teacher Carrido that when a big war breaks out here, he will be asked to help in the war, before talking to Locklan and them, Lin Feng sent a magic message to Carrido, no, after Carrido received the summons, he just explained some things to Old Yuri in general, and then used the teleportation gem to teleport here.

"I was a little skeptical of the data that the scouts reported to me that they had built a strange castle here, but now it seems that they are not exaggerating at all!" Blake Black Hand said with some surprise, "I don't know how they did it? ”

Lin Feng wouldn't tell them that in order to complete the construction of the Nims Fortress Group as soon as possible, his Tyranya had been brushing the low-level natural spell of "turning mud into stone" for a long time, and of course, the Puran Adventure Group had also earned a large amount of gold coins from him because of this big project.

......

The drums of war sounded, the horns sounded, and the first wave of attacks of the orc army finally began, under the cover of the orc heavy shield infantry, team after team of orc brutes followed them menacingly approaching the starmang-based fortress, and behind them, two centurians of ogre slingers had also dispersed and lined up in two loose horizontal columns to slowly follow, well, the large leather bags around their waists were filled with stones the size of many heads, so the movement speed was a little slow.

As for the siege tanks produced by the Goblins of the Black Hand Clan and the Goron Rushers of the Boulder Tribe, Blake and Beydoun had a tacit understanding that they did not show up, "Maybe they don't need to appear, well, such a big castle was built in such a short time, don't be a showman, deliberately make it out to scare us, right?"

When the orc enemy army under the city entered the range of the heavy artillery, Lin Feng didn't mean to let the heavy artillery fire at all, he explained to Carrido: "Now is not the time, to deal with these infantry, our light artillery is enough to do the job, those heavy artillery are reserved for the enemy's siege weapons, I don't believe that those orcs on the other side will not prepare that kind of thing!"

With a "tom", when the orc heavy shield infantry entered the range of light artillery, a test-fired cannonball was the first to be shot, because with Lin Feng, a traverser, the artillerymen under his command accepted some knowledge of artillery warfare ahead of this era, such as this method of demarcating the target range in advance, and for example, the ghost idea of hitting this solid cannonball after it was burned red.

After the sporadic test cannons, under Lin Feng's order, the light artillery hidden in the castle wall was disguished and began to spray cannonballs at the orcs under the city in batches, of course, these cannonballs are solid iron balls, Lin Feng just made them red in advance, well, although I really want to use flowering shells, but the gunpowder is not good, and the flowering shells made really hurt.

With the advance of the orcs, Lin Feng's musketeers also began to shoot at the city, and after three rounds of volleys, the musketeers began to shoot freely, but even if they were free fire, Lin Feng also let them use the attack method of three shots, and always maintained the firepower advantage over the orcs under the city.

Blake and Beydoun were also very surprised when they saw this situation in the back, "How can there be so many musketeers in the human defenders? This is very bad for us!" Unlike traditional human archers, musketeers do not have the disadvantage of having to withdraw and rest after firing ten rounds of arrows, and they both understand this very well.

For the artillery at the head of the castle wall, although they were also surprised by their number, they didn't worry too much, after all, the artillery has been fighting for a long time, and it also needs a cooldown time, and the heavy shield infantry is not to defend against those artillery, their main task is to guard against human archers and cover those orc brutes to kick the city strongly, but the reality is not beautiful, they are suppressed by the human musketeers.

"Speed up those ogre slingers, now they need to suppress the castle's firepower, so that the orc brutes below will find a chance to kick the city. With this command, the ogre slingers quickened their march and reached the city in a few moments.

How to say, the ogre slinger is also a rare class, and the distance of this slinger far exceeds the range of the musket, so in the rain of stones they threw with their bows left and right with their two arms, the artillery and musketeers on the wall of the Star Ridge Fort suffered a big loss when they were caught off guard.
