Chapter 216: The Great War Begins, the Great Demon Forbidden Array

Although it was only a contact battle before the war, this kind of battle damage still surprised Goodern.

You must know that it is a transcendent position that many people can't reach, and any transcendent fall is big news.

It's like the many orcs who fell in the western part of the North before, but it has rekindled the awe of the Sky Griffin Knight on the continent.

After all, three of them died at his hands, although they were all seriously injured, but one of them fought three in one battle, tore apart the other two, and the last person was seriously injured and escaped, which can be described as shocking.

The previous discussion is not over, and now, less than two months later, the transcendent fall has occurred again.

In such a situation, even ordinary people can clearly feel the pressure of wartime.

"In this tentative attack, the orcs retreated ten kilometers, and the battlefield buffer area was thirty kilometers long, and it is expected to be able to continue to hold the opponent for half a day."

"There are a total of 3.67 million soldiers in the Broken Vein Fortress, a total of 10,000 soldiers and civilians, and at present, more than 1.6 million soldiers and civilians have been evacuated, and the army has evacuated eight people.

On the phone, Goodern listened to Bnyton's report, thinking about the next step.

"The arrangement and selection of evacuation routes have all been inspected on the spot, right?"

"After checking, a total of two reconnaissance companies were dispatched to basically find out the road situation within the attached kilometer, and it is estimated that by the time of the evacuation, the situation in the vicinity of 100 kilometers can be mastered."

"Okay, you look at the arrangements for the front-line affairs, if there is anything that can't be handled, find the emperor***, or contact me and let me coordinate."

"Understood."

After a brief understanding of the situation at the front, Goodern hung up the communication here.

Just the defense of the broken pulse, counting the total number of soldiers and civilians exceeded 7 million, this number was also the latest statistics, and it really surprised him.

According to the notice arrangement of his father Olek, this batch of soldiers and civilians of the Broken Vein Fortress will be left in his territory as a reserve for subsequent counteroffensive reconstruction.

At the same time, the evacuation of urban residents along the way, just the people on the safety line alone, the total number of evacuees is expected to exceed 10,000, and these people will pass through his territory and move to the West Peak Mountains.

The West Peak Mountains are the birthplace of empires, and the people here are jokingly called the true imperial people.

Despite its remoteness and complex terrain, thanks to its point of origin and the protection of its alliance with the Kingdom of Tosa, even if its region falls, it will not fall.

It can be said that as long as the West Peak Mountain Range does not disappear, then the empire will not be destroyed.

For example, the independent uprisings of the gods in other regions have been successful, but in the West Peak Mountain Range, they have been hindered by many obstacles.

The level of loyalty to the Empire can be said to have reached the level of fanaticism.

It is to control the high-level, but the foundation here, as long as it is found that it is a move or order that threatens the empire, it will directly resist, which has also led to the few independent rebel flags on the West Peak.

And the transfer of so many people, when Olek knew that he had the equipment to distinguish the gods, gave him a 'giant pit' task.

That is, all those who pass through his territory will be screened once, including the military and the top ranks.

If you add up the number of people who have obtained the data so far, the number of people has exceeded 12 million, and to screen so many people is undoubtedly finding fault with him.

But if you don't accept this screening task, who will let the other party be his father?

And after receiving this task, Gooden is also mobilizing the personnel in his current hands and starting to prepare for the arrangement. br>

The production of inspection equipment has long been in mass production, and several models have been derived, such as portable one-to-one inspection, or large-scale stationary area exploration.

Or it's similar to access control, as long as you pass through, you can know if you are possessed by the gods.

However, with the help of these devices, tens of millions of people can be screened

The task is still very heavy.

It took him two days to screen Qingyuan City alone, and the other cities under his direct control were slower, and there were still a few people left who had not completed the test.

This may seem like a slow pace, but in fact the inspectors are not all in the same place, but spread across hundreds of kilometers of territory.

Involving millions of people, it is already a very surprising efficiency to be able to complete the test in such a short time, and it is this result that makes Olek know, so he handed over the screening work to him.

While the rear was nervously preparing for a retreat, the battle at the front began again.

After a brief rest and regrouping, the millions of orcs launched an attack, without the slightest intention of giving the defenders in the Broken Vein Fortress almost a breather.

The Gathering Beasts slowly advanced towards the Broken Vein Wall in a mighty formation, but the aftermath of the previous transcendental battle caused the ground to soften, delaying the march.

However, the orcs seem to have been prepared for this, and in the vanguard army, there are countless soldiers carrying various wooden stakes and smashing into the earth to increase the strength of the ground.

Some soldiers even used the thick wooden stakes in their hands to build wooden fences, and even many orcs carried boulders behind the fence walls to build a special barrier.

This move of the orcs has never appeared in previous historical battles, but as the current commander of the Qingyuan Army, Buniton can see what these orcs are doing.

"They're doing defenses, not just to dodge the arrows, but also to dodge the guns, and the orcs are learning faster and faster."

If you want to dodge normal crossbows, you only need to build a crossbow wall, and you don't need to add various stones to the back to strengthen your defense.

Moreover, the orcs began to prepare defenses outside the range of their guns this time, which also made Buniton smell something unusual.

"Let them build, our task is to hold them down, not to eliminate them, and it's a good thing for us to want to fight in the ring."

The military commanders present all stood out from countless battles, and they could quickly understand the opponent's intentions and the rhythm of the attack after the on-demand broadcast, which can be said to be very familiar.

"The other party wants to fight in the ring, as the defender, we have to give them a small gift, order the artillery battalion, find the target person by themselves, and wait for the opponent to attack after entering the right distance, a base attack, and put a little pressure on the orcs."

As the only unit equipped with guns in the emperor's army, the generals of the Royal Third Legion directly arranged artillery attacks, and could not let the opponent advance so easily.

"Yes!"

The artillery battalion of the Third Army Corps, as a direct subordinate unit of the emperor, only cooperated with the Qingyuan Army and learned from each other, and they were all independent in operation.

In the first artillery attack, the Qingyuan army has no artillery plan here for the time being, and plans to wait for the other party to gather troops to the city before intercepting the artillery attack, and use the tactics of division to gradually encroach on the orcs.

As for this 'small-scale' raid operation, it can be left to the Royal Third Legion.

The artillery attack mission was soon carried out, but the orcs had already been prepared for vigilance, and there was a transcendent and even legendary reminder that the orcs below the master level in the artillery attack area were all looking for cover to take refuge.

Orcs above the master level are firing at full power, attacking in the direction of the cannonball, trying to intercept and detonate them in the air to avoid causing greater damage.

Due to the limited number of artillery pieces of the Royal Third Legion, only forty-four, and after being intercepted by the orc master, there were very few shells that could fall into the strike zone.

And coupled with the dodging bunkers that were built, the degree of effect of the artillery attack was not ideal, and it did not cause the expected effect.

Before the first round of artillery was fired, the front-line commander, who was observing the battle, gave the order to stop the attack.

Such a blow can have very little effect, it is a pure waste of shells.

Faced with this situation, Buniton's mind was also racing to think about how to break the orc's defenses

What to do.

The orcs learn at an astonishing rate in warfare, and although they have not yet fought hand-to-hand, they have already learned and thought of ways to deal with artillery from the battle against the undead alone.

From the point of view, the orcs were paving various roads and blast shelters along the way.

Although this progress is very slow, the weak effect of the artillery just now also made them understand that such a method is correct, so they are more attentive to the construction of explosion-proof evasion points.

The distance of miles, with the speed of the orcs during the war, would not take twenty minutes at all.

But now, after more than three full hours, it has completely entered the range of one kilometer.

Once here, the orcs stopped laying speed and regrouped their team for the final sprint attack

Weapons such as the Broken Vein Fortress's defensive height and the Arrows, Ballistas, and Stone Cart will also be within range of their attacks when they enter the final phase.

Therefore, the paving of the last section of the road was destined to not be peaceful, so the orc side decided to attack while advancing at the same time, ensuring that even if they retreated, there was cover protection.

Millions of orc armies lined up in neat attacking phalanxes beneath the city, and countless crossbowmen and basic shamans were making the final mobilization agitation.

The aura of slaughter on the battlefield was a little overwhelming, and looking at the orc warriors who were ready to go, the orc legend also mobilized the spiritual power and gave instructions to the soldiers.

"Attack!"

There was no encouragement, no mission description, and a simple two words mobilized countless orcs in an instant.

The shock caused by the wild running of millions of orcs can be vaguely felt even on the broken vein city wall that has been specially strengthened and blessed.

"Heavy Weapons Prepare for Ranged Attack! Let's go!"

Above the city, countless trebuchets and crossbows were under the command, and at the same time unleashed their own means of attack.

Countless heavy stone balls roared into the orc array, and a cannon crossbow that was more than three meters thick as an arm, and the sharp arrows cut through the air, pulling out a piercing scream to penetrate the orc array defense line.

Even a regular heavy weapon attack can still cause a lot of trouble for orcs.

The first round of attacks ended, followed by countless arrow feathers forming a black oppressive patch in the air, like countless raindrops falling from the sky into the orcs.

In this last kilometer of attack, the orcs have to be prepared to be beaten all the way.

However, this beating was not a pure beating, and the orcs also took countermeasures to avoid the expansion of casualties.

Seeing that the orcs were about to enter the best rifle attack distance, the Third Legion and the Qingyuan Army were ready to open fire.

But suddenly, a strange energy spread out from the orc army, and the elemental aura, which was originally very strong, disappeared completely in an instant as if it had encountered a natural enemy at this moment.

Within a few kilometers of the entire Broken Vein Fortress City, there was not a single elemental power at this moment.

Countless pieces of equipment that rely on elemental energy to drive them all stopped at this moment.

The weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the Qingyuan Army turned into burning sticks at this moment, and even the communication equipment was disconnected offline again.

The sudden situation caught the soldiers a little off guard, and some of the mages in the watchtower had ugly faces at the moment.

"Forbidden Demon Array...... How could an orc use this?"

"Damn, I should have thought of it a long time ago, the orcs' fear of these weapons has even poured out of the Forbidden Demon Array......

The name of the Forbidden Demon Array, Buniton only knew a little, but he didn't expect that at the current critical moment, the other party would actually use this trick, so that the weapons of the Qingyuan Army and the Third Army on the front line were all turned into scrap metal at this moment and could not be used.

"Herald! Inform the baggage team, pull up the spare weapons, give the order, and the members of the armed magic weapons leave their combat positions and go to collect the spare weapons, while the others continue to stay in positions and attack on their own!"

Buniton reacted quickly, and immediately called for a herald after learning that the weapon could not be used

Bing, pull up the reserve gunpowder weapon.

There are two sets of weapons in the Qingyuan Army, one magic weapon and one gunpowder weapon, but the theme is still dominated by magic weapons, and gunpowder weapons are less assembled, and they are generally used as backup weapons.

Now, the sudden Forbidden Demon Array has made the importance of gunpowder weapons so important for the first time.

The trucks at the head of the city, after a short period of stalling, started again, and each truck had a dual power system.

Even if the magic engine is paralyzed, the normal mechanical engine behind it will be able to run to a minimum.

While it's certainly not as good as a magic engine, as long as it moves, it's not a mass of scrap metal.

Looking at the slightly flustered situation on the position, Buniton was a little glad in his heart, fortunately, Young Master Gooden has always emphasized the importance of redundancy, even if it is this kind of thousand-mile march, each battalion is very well equipped with weapons.

Even a small amount of firearms and equipment was replanted, enough to arm half a battalion for a counterattack.

The sudden sound of gunfire made the rhythm of the attacking orcs suddenly pause, and although the frequency of the dense metal storm was not as fierce as that of magic weapons, the intensity did not diminish in the slightest.

Under the suppression of powerful firepower, the attack of the orcs also paid a heavy price.

At the same time, those artillery that did not rely on magic were also fully prepared at this time and began to counterattack.

Faced with this situation, the face of the commander of the orc side was not good-looking, except for magic weapons, they couldn't analyze the principle of this weapon that could still burst into powerful power.

Although it is similar to the attack of magic weapons, they want to imitate it, but they can't imitate it.

I thought that after banning the magic power, this army should be completely destroyed, but I didn't expect the other party to hide a hand.

In such an asymmetrical war, for the orcs, the losses will only get bigger and bigger, but the only good news at the moment is that tens of thousands of people of the Imperial Royal Third Legion have withdrawn from the battle sequence.

This is good news for orcs......
