Chapter 382: Dunk Joseph's Scheme
Looking at the goblin behemoth that was blown up by the opposite design without paying attention, Dunk Joseph's mentality exploded instantly.
Then he hurriedly blew the horn to make the fools retreat.
After hearing the call of the horn, the goblin beasts immediately chose to retreat, and Kree immediately led his archers, chasing and fighting.
With the speed of the goblin behemoth, it is simply impossible to escape the range of the archers.
Seeing this, Dunk Joseph hurriedly ordered the goblin slave soldiers to pounce on them, trying to divert the fire of the archers.
At the same time, the light cavalry units, commanded by the adjutant general, were not standing on the sidelines to watch the play.
After a round of charge, the light cavalry troops breathed a sigh of relief around the perimeter of the battlefield, followed by another acceleration, and decisively killed again.
They have a clear goal, which is to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the goblin behemoths that are very threatening to them.
However, instead of directly killing the goblin beasts, they charged and forcibly crushed the goblin slave soldiers who tried to get in the way, and in disguise won more opportunities for the archers to attack.
Naturally, Kree didn't waste this rare opportunity, and round after round of bloodletting guns spared no effort to throw at the goblin behemoths trying to escape.
The four bloodletting spears that were standard for each cavalry archer were quickly exhausted, and after four rounds of bloodletting spears, the remaining goblin behemoths were covered in blood, even if they didn't die, and their injuries were not light.
However, Kree still didn't stop, the bloodletting gun was gone, so he continued to fight with his bow and arrow, he just had to do everything he could to deal with this group of goblin monsters.
Faced with these two cavalry forces that were in perfect harmony, Dunk Joseph had to bite the bullet and continue to command his goblin army to fight.
Although he was taken by surprise, it was still too early to withdraw his troops.
After recalling all the surviving goblin beasts, Dunk Joseph immediately began to adjust his formation, and fought in a stalemate with Dunk Joseph and Kree's cavalry army.
The cavalry army on the opposite side does have an advantage in arms, but on the other hand, he also has a huge advantage in strength.
After a few rounds of confrontation, although the goblin slave soldiers under his command were reduced by tens of thousands, but like this kind of cannon fodder troops, he brought at least 100,000 or more troops with him every time he went out, and he didn't care about the loss of troops at all.
On the grassland battlefield, the initiative is indeed in the hands of the cavalry army that occupies the advantage of mobility.
However, they did not have an easy battle.
The number of goblin slave soldiers is too much, and even if they have killed them to the point of reluctance, they are still surrounded by green pressure, and they have not decreased in the slightest.
The armor on Silan's body was already stained with blood at this time, and he was constantly panting.
On the other side, Kree was similar, tired and grinning.
The main thing is that they couldn't have imagined that the crowd tactics on the opposite side were actually used to such an extent that it was impossible to solve the battle in a short time.
It's not that they haven't thought about directly going around and killing the common general of this goblin army, but this is easier said than done.
Dunk Joseph and his regular army were all concentrated in the most central area, with countless Goblin slave soldiers on the periphery.
Although they are all cannon fodder miscellaneous soldiers, there are too many of them!
Even they didn't have the guts to rush in.
In the previous several charges, they were all on the periphery of the local military formation, and if they directly rushed into the core of the opponent's military formation in one go, even if they could rush out, I was afraid that there would not be a few people coming out.
After thinking for a moment, Silan immediately chose to retreat. If you continue to fight with this terrifying goblin army, the result will only be that they will be dragged down by the other side.
Looking at the cavalry troops that were getting farther and farther away from him, Dunk Joseph couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In the face of tens of thousands of cavalry troops, the pressure is very great.
At the same time, he also had a new idea in his heart.
After a night's rest, the next morning, outside Muyuan City, the new frontier of the Great Xia Grassland, countless goblin armies were already overwhelming!
This was Dunk Joseph's second invasion of Great Xia, and although the location of the invasion was not consistent, the previous invasion also gave him a general idea of the border garrison forces of Great Xia.
According to his budget, the reason why Xia Qi deployed so many troops on this border was that he had a cavalry army to deal with the enemy's invasion.
After all, it is in the steppe that the advantages of cavalry can be brought into full play.
Under this premise, if the number of troops deployed by Xia Qi in each border city of his civilization is roughly the same, then there will not be too many infantry troops on this side of the border with a large number of cavalry troops.
In order to test his guess, and to avoid being dragged into the field battle by the cavalry troops on the opposite side today, Dunk Joseph led his goblin army to move as early as the early hours of the morning.
And before dawn, arrived outside the castle of Makihara.
The horn of the attack was sounded, and he was going to talk about the reality of the city.
Guo Ke, the general of Muyuan City, was standing on the top of the wall, looking at the scene under the city with a solemn face.
Although he had already learned a certain amount of information from Silan and Kree as early as yesterday, they never expected that the other party would come so simply.
All the troops quickly gathered towards the city gate and the city wall, and with the sound of the horn of attack, the green goblin army outside the city swept towards Makihara City like a tide.
Just the overwhelming momentum makes people feel frightened.
Guo Ke reacted quickly, and hurriedly ordered the goblin soldiers on the wall to start operating the eight-bull crossbow and catapult to meet the attack, and the arrows and scattered bullets that had been hoarded in advance were shot out one after another.
All of these methods that Muyuan Castle has been using at present are all expected by Dunk Joseph.
At the same time, he also knew that there were two hole cards on the opposite side, the explosive bag and the magician, which had not been opened.
The thought of what happened last time made Dunk Joseph's heart tremble.
In fact, the fire tornado that was nearly 100 meters high was too thrilling.
For this reason, this time Dunk Joseph didn't even bring a Flame Goblin.
But last time, if it wasn't for that terrifying bird, Dunk Joseph was confident that he would be able to break through the opponent's city.
This time it was more prepared, not only did it bring more troops, but more importantly, the damn bird didn't show up.
With Dunk Joseph's orders, the goblin army continued to pour towards Makihara City like a tidal wave.
A large number of ladders were quickly erected up the walls, and the goblin slave soldiers continued to rush up the ladders, putting great pressure on the defenders of Makihara City.
Guo Ke was holding a war knife, and he didn't know how many goblin slave soldiers he had killed.
The knives and armor were covered with a thick layer of viscous plasma, which took on a dark green color.
Yet the goblins seemed to be endless, still pouring up the walls.
The gate of Muyuan Castle has also been raised, and inside the gate cave is a spear array responsible for helping to distribute the pressure.
They blocked the entrance to the city gate and killed all the goblins who tried to pour in from here!
Just when the battle on the main battlefield was very fierce, on the periphery of the battlefield, Silan and Keree, who were leading the cavalry army, had somewhat ugly faces.
Although they immediately gathered their forces and rushed over after receiving the news, they were still a step too late.
Once the defense of the city begins, they are passive.
As Dunk Joseph had guessed, there were only 4,000 infantry troops stationed in Makihara Castle.
The eastern border is different from the other three borders, they have a large number of cavalry patrols around the border every day, and once they spot an intruding enemy, their cavalry army will be the first to kill and crush the enemy before they can attack!
In other words, they avoided the defense of the city and directly decided the victory with a round of cavalry raids in the field.
But now that the battle to defend the city has begun, the facts have been placed in front of their eyes, as if there is no choice.
Slan raised the binoculars in his hand and set his gaze on the location of the Goblin Army's main formation.
Dunk Joseph was very cautious, obviously guarding against the cavalry that could be killed at any time, so he did not choose to stay at the rear of the army, but always followed the large army surrounded by a large number of goblins and goblin behemoths.
At the same time, the surrounding Goblin troops were even more spear arrays at any time.
It seems that it is impossible for Silan to cut his back row.
"Clean up the surrounding miscellaneous soldiers first!"
Without hesitation, after ascertaining the situation on Dunk Joseph's side, Slan said.
There were too many goblin slave soldiers, and if they were allowed to continue to attack like this, it would only be a matter of time before they could fall with only the 4,000 defenders in Makihara City.
Silan decisively led his light cavalry troops into the battlefield.
On the other hand, Kree's cavalry archers were on the periphery of the battlefield, moving and raining down the lives of the goblin slaves.
Faced with this situation, Dunk Joseph, who was in the center of the battlefield, grinned with an undisguised sly smile on his face.
Well, that's exactly what he was looking forward to!
From the previous rounds of defensive firepower alone, he could clearly feel the difference between the strength of Muyuan City and Wind Whispering City.
His guess was correct, the infantry units inside Makihara City were limited, and the cavalry troops outside the city could not easily threaten his current position in the face of his multiple guards.
Even if they rushed up, there were Goblin troops and goblin behemoths parrying them.
"Leave those cavalry alone, let me continue the attack!!"
Under the orders of Dunk Joseph, the high-pitched horn of attack continued to sound, and the red-eyed goblin slave soldiers frantically slaughtered the walls and gates of Makihara Castle.
The defenders of Makihara Castle were insufficient, which was a fatal wound.
As long as he can maintain his current pace, Dunk Joseph has a good chance of taking the city in a short time.
When the time comes, when his goblin army enters the city, he will be able to occupy the city and oppose the guest, even if there are more cavalry outside the city, he will be helpless.
As soon as he thought of this, Dunk Joseph couldn't help but look forward to it.
As long as he can attack the city in front of him, then this invasion is his victory.
The most important thing is that he invaded later than Xia Qi.
In other words, even if Xia Qi won the battle in his own civilization and received a lot of civilization point rewards.
But when the invasion war on his side is over, no matter how many civilization points he wins from his side, he will have to spit it out with interest at that time!
