Outside Lobito, the coalition forces from Caldera have arrived nearby, and the warriors are building a camp to serve as a siege station. And the monster army of Thunder Cliff is camped on the other side of the city, because of the special surname of the monster, so it is not with the coalition army, the Salt people and monsters have been fighting for countless years, and there are still some obstacles to simply accept monsters as allies.

Even if the top level compromises for various reasons, it does not mean that the soldiers at the bottom will think so. Even if you don't do anything excessive, you won't be able to cooperate well in battle, so it's better to let the monster legion stay alone, and only be responsible for besieging the council city warriors who escaped after the city was broken. The siege was carried out by the Salts, although no specific statute had yet been proposed.

At present, there are 10,000 soldiers in Lobito, which is only a thousand more than the coalition army, but it is supported by the walls of Lobito. It is not an easy task to capture Lobito, and the siege must be as cautious and strict as possible, otherwise if it causes a lot of losses to the coalition army, then the coalition army will not have the strength to attack the council city.

Arica, Ankud, and Santa Fe had gathered in the camp, and the allied commanders sent in formed the coalition command. Arica's commander is a former legional commander who has served as a mentor in Arica's academy for several years, and although he is not outstanding in terms of combat effectiveness, he has a lot of experience.

And Ankud's commander is a bald middle-aged man, who is the commander of Ankud's current Giant Wood Legion, and has also commanded many battles against monsters. However, he was inexperienced in fighting with people, and only learned some tactics from some textbooks, but did not actually use them.

The commander of Santa Fe is a middle-aged man who has lost an arm, and in Santa Fe he has lost the command of the hammer Refora, and there is no talent for command. The disabled man had already retired, but now he had been asked to be one of the commanders of the coalition this time.

The command of the coalition forces is in charge of three people, although it is a bit nonsense, but it is the best choice in such a situation, after all, if the three sides are unable to unify in order to compete for this command, then the timing of the battle will be greatly delayed. Lobito's Parliament City Legion, as soon as they have finished their rest, will go to attack Santa Fe.

It took only three days for the reconvened parliament to settle all the details. He also issued an order for Caldera's legions to unite and come to Lobito to stop the Parliament City from advancing. This was unexpected by Azela, and it also bought valuable time for the coalition forces.

And the promoter of all this, now stays in the command of the Lobito coalition army, watching the two commanders quarrel with each other. The parliamentary system is such nonsense that even if it is united, there will be continuous quarrels. Although the Salts did not fight each other, they also disagreed due to differences in tactics.

The old man of Arica believed that the coalition army was currently only 9,000 men, and that a forced siege would cause great losses. Therefore, the siege tactics should be used to force the Parliament City legions in the city to go out of the city to fight, so that the coalition forces can win. The commander of Ankud confirmed that there was not much time left for the coalition forces, and that if the army in Lobito could not be dealt with as soon as possible, the city of Parliament might send reinforcements.

At that time, they are already at a disadvantage in numbers, and their chances of winning will be even smaller. Therefore, it is advocated to build siege equipment and forcibly break through the defenses of the Parliament City. The morale of the coalition army is much higher than that of the Parliament City, and it is fully capable of using this morale to climb the walls of Lobito and enter the city in one go, and engage in street battles with the Parliament City.

"Arica and Ankud seem to be competing everywhere. Mo Yan looked at the one-armed man beside him who was silent and did not participate in it and said with a smile: "Whether it is their managers or the commanders of the army, it seems that they will quarrel for various reasons. ”

"Arica and Ankud, long before Elam became like this, were already fighting each other in the Parliament. The one-armed man glanced at Mo Yan, forced himself not to treat him as an ordinary monster, and said: "Originally, Carthage's caravans entered Elam through the north of Ankud, but later Arica built several ports, and the caravans coming in from the north decreased a lot, after all, sea transportation is much faster. ”

"Oh, I see. Mo Yan nodded and pointed, and the old man, who had already made a noise to the point of messy beard, continued to speak: "Aren't you going to participate in it? Anyway, you are also one of the commanders of this coalition army, and you have already discussed it when you are in the Elam Council, and the plan that the majority of the people agree on will be implemented." ”

Although Mo Yan's words were not big, they reached the ears of the two people who were arguing, and they suddenly remembered that no matter whose plan they adopted, the vote of the commander of Santa Fe was very important to them, so they rushed over and talked about their arguments at the one-armed man, and finally even pulled him to the map, pointing to the Lobito map above. This made the one-armed man, who was originally very idle, look ugly in an instant, and looked at Mo Yan who provoked the matter with complaint.

"Actually, the walls are not a problem. Mo Yan, who didn't plan to continue watching the play, stood up from where he was sitting and said, "Thunder Cliff can destroy Lobito's city walls, those city walls that are just simple stone piles are actually not very strong. ”

"Does the monster legion of Thunder Cliff have trebuchets?" Arica's old man heard Mo Yan's words, stopped arguing, looked at Mo Yan and asked: "But even the trebuchet can't be used, there are still a lot of civilians in Lobito City, and the accuracy of the trebuchet is not high, it will throw stones into the city, causing civilian casualties will cause very bad consequences." ”

"Trebuchet?" Mo Yan shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't have that kind of thing." ”

"Then you ......" The three people who heard Mo Yan's words and thought they had been tricked immediately wanted to blame the minotaur who spoke meaninglessly, but then Mo Yan's words blocked their words back into their mouths.

"But I have something that is better than a trebuchet for I don't know how many times. Mo Yan walked outside and said, "Actually, when you were just discussing, I had already arranged for someone to send the weapons over, and now they have arrived in the camp. I think you'll want to check out these, the latest weapons produced in Thunder Bluff. ”

As he spoke, Mo Yan lifted the curtain of the tent, only to see that every three gray dwarves drove a cow and pulled six large iron pipes with wheels to the tent. The Salts all around looked curiously at the strange things that the gray dwarves were pushing, and the small iron pipes they were carrying.

"Six iron pipes made of iron?" The one-armed man looked at it carefully, then said to Mo Yan with a smile: "Do you want to use this thing to knock their city gate open?" But this is too small, it is better to use a battering ram made of giant wood, at least the impact will be greater. ”

"Put away your contemptuous fool!" a gray dwarf heard the one-armed man's words, his gray face turned a little red with anger, and his short legs trotted in front of the man, crossed his waist, and looked at him and roared loudly: "This is the great master of Thunder Cliff, who has the black powder of the great gray dwarf, and the great weapon he invented!

The cannon, which was almost regarded as an artifact by the gray dwarves, was evaluated like that by others, so that these short-tempered dwarves even wanted to use the firing gun to open a few holes for the guy in front of them to let him know that he knew that it was powerful! This is a miraculous weapon invented using the ancestral secret recipe of the gray dwarves!

"I guess Commander Albert didn't mean it. Mo Yan calmed the irascible gray dwarf, turned his head to Albert and said, "Although this weapon may seem strange to you, I can guarantee that its power will make people like it, as a long-range weapon, it is not only powerful, but also much more accurate than something as primitive as a trebuchet." ”

Although the accuracy of the artillery currently produced is still very worrying because it does not have rifling, it is much more accurate than trebuchets. At the very least, it is possible to keep the cannonball within the range of the city wall, and there is no situation like a trebuchet, where it is not certain that the stone will fall once it is out of the trebuchet.

"Really?" Arica's old man took a closer look at the weapon that was repeatedly touted by the minotaur in front of him, but in the end he couldn't see anything special, so he could only shake his head and say: "But no matter how you look at it, it's just a simple iron pipe, and it's not a magic weapon, how does it attack?"

"Wait a minute, we can try it. Mo Yan was not in a hurry to explain the principle, but let these commanders see the power of the artillery with their own eyes, and he believed that the performance of these commanders would not be any better than that of the natives on earth who saw the artillery bombardment for the first time.
