Chapter 383: Night Harassment
The intervention of the cavalry troops helped the defending troops to share the pressure to a certain extent, but the reckless fighting style of the goblin army on the opposite side was still very grim for the defending troops who were defending the city walls and gates.
Guo Ke was on top of the city, constantly wielding his sword, slaughtering a goblin every time he fell.
But at this time, his face was already extremely difficult to see.
Seeing the opportunity for the light cavalry troops outside the city to temporarily leave the battlefield after a round of charge, he hurriedly ordered: "All the catapult troops are equipped with explosive packs, and the elven mage is ready!" β
With Guo Ke's order, the explosive bag that ignited the fuse was thrown far into the goblin pile by the catapult.
On the elven mage's side, wind bombs, wind blades, and small tornadoes were sent out, falling into the goblin army without interruption.
Thanks to the cooperation of the explosive pack and the elven mage, a large area of goblins was cleared in an instant.
Guo Ke was glad in his heart at this time, fortunately, after receiving the news yesterday, the city lord of Muyuan City began to organize the evacuation of the residents in the city.
Fortunately, there were not many residents in the city, and the evacuation was completed before the second half of the night.
Otherwise, he would have to deal with the enemy army while dedicating his men to organize the evacuation of the residents.
There is no doubt that Guo Ke at this time has prepared for the worst.
After the explosives pack and the elven mage were put into the battlefield, the firepower of Makihara City was raised to a new level.
In the face of the ferocious fire of the opposite city, Dunk Joseph was fearless.
Now that he was protected by the Goblin forces and goblin behemoths, he and the goblin shamans were being protected to death, and the cavalry troops on the opposite side could not threaten him at all.
The most important thing is that the big white bird did not appear last time, which also made his last scruples disappear.
And, the opposite side has opened the last hole card, so does it mean that the opposing city defenders are about to be unable to hold on?
This is great news for Dunk Joseph!
Maintaining this state of mutual consumption, the Goblin Army's attack continued until sunset, but instead of retreating, they chose to camp outside Makihara Castle.
Obviously, Dunk Joseph was afraid of retreating, and when the time came, the cavalry troops on the opposite side would make another surprise attack and force him into the field battle.
Although there is also a risk of being harassed by the enemy, as long as you do a good job of vigilance, it will not affect anything.
At the same time, in the city lord's mansion of Muyuan City, Guo Ke, Si Lan, and Kelie were sitting together and discussing.
Guo Ke was the first to speak: "Do we want to have a night attack?" β
However, his proposal was soon rejected by Kree.
"I don't think it makes a lot of sense. Since the other party dares to camp outside the city, it means that they are not afraid of our night attack, and maybe, they still wish we would do so. β
When the words fell, Silan on the side put forward a different opinion.
"I think it's still very necessary to harass it."
It wasn't like Slan was deliberately disagreeing, and after glancing at him, Kree quickly understood what he meant.
"Okay, I'll take care of that."
After a brief discussion, Cree got up and walked out the door.
It's night.
Today is the full moon on the grassland, and a moon many times larger than the moon on the blue star hangs in the sky, and the whole world seems to be immersed in another scenery.
As the moon fell, Kree led his cavalry archers toward the goblin camp.
The goblin sentries who had experienced a great battle were drowsy with their weapons, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound of muffled thunder in the distance, and the ground began to shake.
Dunk Joseph was awakened from his slumber to the chaos of the camp, filled with the howls and shouts of goblins.
Kree, who led the army to kill, looked at the goblins running around in the camp, and even released a round of arrows to pass.
After two rounds of arrow rain attacks by the archers, Dunk Joseph hurriedly came out of the camp tent, and after a wave of morale, he finally stabilized the chaos.
But at this time, where is the shadow of Kree and the archers?
After the archers left, the Goblin army quickly calmed down.
An hour later, Kereh again led the archers to the slaughter.
Then there was chaos in the goblin camp.
After unleashing a few rounds of arrows, Kree led his cavalry troops to retreat again.
Another hour later......
In one night, Kree carried out a total of four night raids, causing the goblins to be unsettled.
Although the night did not cause much damage to the Goblin army, Kree himself did not aim for the second time.
One night has passed, and there has been no rest for two nights, plus there was a goblin army yesterday, and the spirit looks very sluggish.
But despite this point, Dunk Joseph did not change his original plan.
The original living environment of their goblin clan was very harsh, and now it is just two nights without rest, which is nothing.
Besides, how could Dunk Joseph care about the cannon fodder?
A siege has begun, but the Goblin Slave Soldiers are in much worse shape than they were yesterday, which has reduced the pressure on the defending army.
Dunk Joseph's face was gloomy, but he was helpless.
The siege of the second day lasted only until noon, and in the afternoon, the goblin army did not attack the city, but returned to the camp to catch up on sleep.
Dunk Joseph first arranged for a part of the goblin army to be vigilant, and then let the rest of the goblin army start to sleep.
The three of them looked at the goblins in the distance and agreed, and for a while they couldn't figure out what the hell those guys on the other side were doing, for fear that it would be a trap, so they just watched from a distance at first and did not attack.
At this time, the time came to the end of the evening.
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Kree's mind, and after saying hello to Slan, he immediately led his army of archers and cavalry to rush to the goblin camp.
After hearing the sound of the galloping horses, the goblins in charge of defense immediately began to be on alert.
Looking at the goblins who were waiting for the battle, they could just symbolically release a few rounds of arrow rain before leading the troops away.
At the same time, he sighed in his heart, knowing that his plan had been seen through by the other party.
The goblins had a quiet night, and the next morning, Dunk Joseph gave them another full meal.
The goblin army, which was well fed, immediately launched an attack on Makihara Castle.
In the face of the tsunami-like offensive, the defending troops did not notice for a while, and they were almost attacked into the city by the other side in waves.
Guo Ke hurriedly organized a defense, and finally stabilized the position.
Another day passed, and the garrison was already tired, and even the knives in their hands were already curled, but those goblin armies were like an ocean, and they couldn't see the end at a glance.
Now, the mages of the elven mage army have run out of mana, the explosives pack has been used up, and even the crossbow arrows of the Eight Bull Crossbow are left.
With the current defenders of Muyuan City alone, there is no way to defend this city anymore.
But even if they retreated, they couldn't let those goblins on the other side get this city so easily.
Silan led the light cavalry under his command to make a detour around the battlefield, and after finding an entry point, he immediately cut into it.
The powerful charge of the cavalry army, carrying the momentum of devastation, crushed all the goblin slave soldiers who dared to stand in front of them, and rushed all the way towards the main formation located in the center of the goblin army!
Dunk Joseph, who noticed Slan's movements, changed his expression slightly, and hurriedly motioned for the Goblin troops to form a spear formation to go up, and at the same time, several goblin beasts were like personal bodyguards, protecting him to the death.
Dunk Joseph, who was in the center of the formation, dispelled the uneasiness in his heart.
It's not that he's cautious, it's mainly that most of his troops are now besieging the city, and the protective force around him can be said to be the weakest.
The cavalry army came quickly, which was the same as the reduction of the opposing troops in the previous days of defending the city, so that Silan could easily lead the army to rush in one go!
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, just as the light cavalry troops were about to collide head-on with the spear array of the Goblin troops, Slan suddenly let out a loud roar.
"Scattered !!"
With Silan's shout, the galloping light cavalry troops suddenly changed formations, and the entire formation instantly split into two, and while avoiding a frontal collision with the Goblin troops, they quickly rushed towards the left and right sides.
The goblin slave soldiers who had originally gathered in these two areas couldn't react in their brains at all, why did the light cavalry troops, which were originally still maintaining a straight line charge, suddenly change direction and point the finger at them?
It all happened so quickly that before they could come to their senses, a large number of goblin slave soldiers were killed by the light cavalry charge.
At the same time, the Goblin troops, who were originally nervous and ready to meet them head-on, were at a loss on their faces at this time, completely unaware of what this human light cavalry force wanted to do.
On the contrary, Dunk Joseph, who was guarded in the center, quickly looked towards the battlefield after he seemed to realize something.
"That's not right! What about the archers on the other side?! β
The moment he realized this problem, Dunk Joseph's face changed dramatically.
"Damn! Raise your shields, hurry up, lift your shields!! β
At Dunk Joseph's shouting, the archers, who had been missing, appeared behind the light cavalry.
With the light cavalry troops leading the way, Kereh led his cavalry archers all the way to the heart of the battlefield!
It's too late, it's too soon.
I saw the archers galloping at this time, holding bloodletting guns that exuded a chill in their hands.
"Put !!"
With Kree's order, the overwhelming bloodletting guns swept directly towards the regular army under Dunk Joseph!
At this moment, even the well-equipped Goblin troops are difficult to shake the power of the bloodletting gun.
In the face of the bloodletting guns, the shields in their hands were like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and they were simply vulnerable.
Gobrin was harvested in pieces, and the terrible screams continued to pound Dunk Joseph's eardrums.
In the face of such an offensive of the cavalry army, he smelled the breath of death, and his whole heart hung directly in his throat.
Round after round of bloodletting guns were thrown, Dunk Joseph should be glad that the bloodletting guns were not thrown too far.
Otherwise, even if he hid in the chariot and faced tens of thousands of bloodletting guns, he could only end up hating on the spot.
During this period, the light cavalry unit divided into two directly charged the goblin slave soldiers gathered on the left and right sides, creating a relatively stable output environment for the archer troops.
