Chapter 390: The White Wolf's Means

The second round of the dwarven army's attack was not long in coming.

In this round of attack, Romanov once again opened a hole card.

However, this hole card did not make the white wolf feel too much surprise.

This hole card is the cannon.

After seeing the strange weapons of yesterday, it is really not surprising that the other side can take out the artillery.

In the previous round of siege warfare, the opposite side did not directly push out the cannons, I am afraid that they were afraid of the eight-bull crossbows deployed on both sides of the mountain wall.

However, after yesterday's battle, the mountain walls on both sides were blown up in half by the explosives packs of the opposing hot air balloonists, which weakened the firepower of the Lulongse defense city.

Only then did Romanov generously open the hole card of the cannon.

At the same time, presumably to guard against the sniper attacks of the elven archers, he also placed a large number of large shield soldiers around the cannon, almost forming a tank formation, leaving only one cannon muzzle outside.

Amid the roar of artillery fire, a new round of fighting began again!

Heavily armored dwarven hoplites, covering the dwarven musketeers, quickly advanced in the direction of Luronse.

Faced with such a situation, the white wolf standing on the wall saw the move, and at the same time let the defending troops on the wall suppress it with long-range firepower, and quickly issued an order.

"All catapults aim at the artillery on the opposite side, and put!"

On top of the city walls, eight catapults moved quickly, throwing explosives one by one.

Although the catapult's accuracy is extremely poor, the explosive pack itself is an area attack, and I don't know which little genius it is, and creatively mixed ceramic shards into it.

Each time the pack explodes, ceramic shards will be scattered everywhere, dealing secondary damage to enemy soldiers.

As the explosive packets exploded, the dwarven soldiers let out a terrible howl.

I saw that on the faces of these dwarven soldiers, there were a large number of ceramic shards.

Some of the hapless dwarven soldiers were first severely injured by explosives packets, and then the ceramic shards that came from the blast also burrowed into their flesh and skin along the damage in their armor.

This situation made the Romanovs, who were in command of the operation in the rear, suddenly nervous, and then signaled the artillery units to start a counterattack.

But the attack on the opposite side was too fierce, or rather, there were too many explosive packs on the opposite side, like hailstones, crackling and falling.

Some catapult soldiers threw more than one explosive bag at a time, which was thrown by three or four of a guy.

The Romanov artillery was constantly damaged under the frequency of this attack, even if the hit rate of the catapult was low.

The screams of the dwarven soldiers were constantly drilling into Romanov's ears at this moment, and at this time, he had begun to weigh the pros and cons in his heart.

This invasion war, if he insists on fighting, can still be fought.

After all, according to the way the explosive bag was thrown on the other side, the explosive bag should be consumed quickly.

However, it is also a question of how many troops he will be able to leave after the explosive package on the opposite side is thrown.

For the sake of a Dunk Joseph who doesn't like each other, it is strange that the Romanovs can be happy to pay such a price.

If it weren't for the bad explanation to the big guys in the alliance, he would have withdrawn a long time ago.

It was also because of this that Romanov's mood suddenly became irritable.

"Fire! Fire!! ”

The power of the Dwarven cannon is much greater than that of the normal cannon, after all, their racial talent is there.

Although some of the cannons were destroyed, the remaining cannons still put a lot of pressure on the garrison of Great Xia.

The two sides were at a stalemate, but in the end, the Romanov chose him to retreat.

Now it seems that he is on a par with the army opposite, but in fact, it is he who has fallen into disadvantage.

Don't forget, the other side also has the tall city wall.

Even if he destroys all the catapults on the opposite side, he will not have a few artillery pieces left, what will he use to break through the gate on the opposite side?

After the battle, the white wolf looked at the devastated fortress walls with a solemn face, and then urged the goblin engineers to repair the city walls quickly.

On the other hand, the Romanovs, who had withdrawn to the camp, made up their minds after simply counting the casualties of the army under their command.

After fighting this invasion war, it can be regarded as giving an explanation to the bigwigs in the alliance, and no matter how Dunk Joseph is invaded by this Xia Qi, he will not come over to get involved again.

While the Romanov dwarven armies were fighting fiercely against the defenders of Luronse, Dunk Joseph became more and more indifferent to his border cities.

The destroyed facilities are too lazy to repair, and in terms of resources, they will basically not be transferred to the border, so they almost abandon the city directly.

The whole person just lay flat.

However, the reason why this is the case is also because his border has been broken down by Xia Qi, and he can't resist if he wants to, so it's better to gather resources and save a little effort.

In the face of such an opponent who had already broken the jar, when Xia Qi intended to brush up points, it still only took three days to easily win the opponent's border city.

Before, Xia Qi, who broke the city in three days, would definitely have the idea of a goblin city.

But now that his Great Xia is being invaded by foreign enemies, coupled with the current urine nature of Dunk Joseph's goods, it is difficult for him to gain anything from fighting another city.

Thinking of this, Xia Qi didn't bother to waste time, and when the seven-day time limit arrived, he decisively chose to retreat.

During this period, due to the fact that Dunk Joseph gradually became a scumbag after being beaten and self-contained, the performance evaluation also began to drop significantly, and the treasure chest reward given by the system also changed from the original silver treasure chest to a bronze treasure chest.

If this is played a few more rounds, the system may just give him some points and send it away.

To some extent, this guy has also been squeezed out of value by Xia Qi.

Xia Qi, who returned to Great Xia, directly ordered the Ministry of Military Affairs to send a border war report over.

At a glance, the expression on Xia Qi's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

"Dwarves? I didn't expect this Romanov to be a special civilization unexpectedly. ”

After all, the invasion war on the side of Great Xia had only reached the seventh day, so the battle report was only sent back, which should have been written by the white wolf after the first battle.

There is limited knowledge, but there is a lot of information.

For example, a large number of dwarven hoplites, and then the dwarven musketeer.

During this period, the white wolf also described the power of the musket in detail, which was much stronger than Xia Qi expected.

Looking at the description in the report, the other party no longer used an arquebus, to say the least, it has developed firearms to the point of a flintlock pistol.

Since the cannon was the hole card that the other party only opened in the second battle, it was not mentioned in the white wolf's battle report, but this did not prevent Xia Qi from guessing.

Muskets have developed to such a point, how can the other side not have artillery?

Xia Qi couldn't help but rejoice, it seemed that he was right to withdraw this wave in time.

At the same time that Xia Qi was thinking so, outside of Lu Longsai, a new round of battle had undoubtedly started completely.

Now the time is just the seventh day of the invasion war, and the Romanov has already figured out that this wave, if he can fight, he will continue to fight, and if he can't beat him, he will withdraw directly.

With this in mind, the Romanov once again launched an attack on Luronse.

This time, he placed more large shields around the cannon, and then advanced quickly towards Luronse.

Seeing this, the white wolf naturally signaled the catapult to attack.

This time, the cannons were arranged very scattered, which greatly reduced the possibility of being hit by an explosive bag and destroying a large number of soldiers at once.

However, over time, packets of explosives landed on the shield wall.

As the smoke from the explosion cleared, the next scene shocked the white wolf.

It turned out that the enemy's big shield soldier actually withstood this wave of explosions.

In fact, although they resisted this wave of explosions, the few big shield soldiers who were at the center of the explosion were also very uncomfortable.

If, as it had been yesterday, the defenders of Luronse had frantically thrown explosive packets at them without asking for money, they would soon have lost it.

But as Romanov had guessed, after yesterday's battle, Luronsené was running out of explosives packs.

It is precisely this that gives the Romanov side an opportunity.

However, although shocked, the white wolf did not panic because of this.

I saw that with a wave of his hand, on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, several special crossbow arrows flew out in an instant, breaking several shield formations in an instant.

"What?!"

Romanov exclaimed in an instant.

He remembered that the crossbow on the other side had been completely destroyed a few days ago.

A few days ago, the bed crossbow on the cliff was destroyed.

But how did Romanov know that Xia Qi still has this branch called Goblin Engineer on his side.

Thanks to the efforts of the goblin engineers, in the course of several days, they used the parts that were still in good condition to assemble seven eight-ox crossbows in a row.

The combination of the most superior gold-quality eight-ox crossbow and the excellent goblin bed crossbowmen instantly burst out with extremely terrifying power.

Under the operation of the goblin bed crossbowmen, every time the eight-ox crossbow is shot, it will be rewarded.

It is obviously a large siege machine, but in their hands, it is a modern sniper rifle that has been completed.

The difference between the two is that there is only one less sniper scope.

Under the joint efforts of catapults and crossbows, Romanov's shield array was immediately hit head-on, and the cannons were destroyed one after another before they could enter the firing range.

He wanted to deal with the bed crossbowmen on the cliff, but the cannon was designed at a fixed angle, and it was impossible to reach it.

If you open fire rashly, not only will you not be able to inflict damage on the enemy, but you may also bury your own army alive.

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, the Romanovs immediately chose to retreat.
