Chapter 63: The Advantage of the Divine Arrow

In the previous clearly divided orc army, Lin Ruofeng's visual inspection and Ye Ling's explanation, Lin Ruofeng also probably understood the strength of the orc army in this war, this is the advantage of such a tall city wall of Tianluo Pass, standing on the wall of more than 300 meters high, the strength of the enemy army can be seen at a glance, taking the lead, and the troops standing below to attack will have a huge shadow in the face of such a huge city wall, which will affect the morale of the attack.

In the orc army, there are 100 Kodo giant beasts, 1,000 Beamons, 500,000 horned eagles, 300,000 winged people, 1.5 million lizard people, 600,000 cat people, 400,000 minotaurs, 300,000 tiger people, 200,000 lion people, 500,000 leopard people, 360,000 centaurs, 140,000 wolf cavalry, 40,000 shaman sacrifices, more than 600,000 logistics troops, 400,000 werewolf warriors, and the orcs have a hundred beast soul banners for every 10,000 people。

Soon, the orc army had left the Wolf Pass for less than two kilometers, like the tide of the sea, rushing to the Wolf Pass, wave after wave, seeing that it was about to slap towards the Wolf Pass, a string in the hearts of the soldiers was also tightened, and in the face of the boundless enemy, Lin Ruofeng was like a dream, and his palms were full of dense fine sweat.

With the order of Ye Lingyan, the catapult on the city wall was the first to launch, countless thousands of pounds of stones, with the order with the call of death, crossed the Kodo War Behemoth, and landed on the lizardman riding the orc infantry, each stone can almost take the life of two or three orcs, the tiger man Jim saw the boulder carried with him from the sky, and hurriedly shot to the side to dodge, but the stone was too fast, and the stone with a higher muzzle velocity was accelerated by gravity at a height of three hundred meters (80m/ S), how can Jim resist, the tiger man Jim desperately looked at the ever-enlarged boulder in his eyes, unable to raise the refined mace in his hand, but this was doomed to be in vain, thousands of pounds of huge force quickly crushed the mace, and also crushed Jim and its transport lizardman into a meatloaf. The rubble shattered by the mace also hit several "innocent" victims in the vicinity with unparalleled potential energy, causing two deaths and four injuries to two tiger people, one lion man, and three werewolves.

The original structure of the catapult was very simple, a huge lever, the long end was a leather holster or a wooden basket loaded with stones, the short end was tied to dozens of ropes, when the order was given, dozens of people pulled the rope at the same time, using the principle of the lever to throw the stones, this is the ancient god of war. The first large-scale use of catapults in the history of warfare in the previous life should be Li Xin (the distant ancestor of the flying general Li Guang) to attack Chu, the Chu army secretly prepared a large number of catapults, when the Qin army crossed the river, it was suddenly launched at the same time, countless sharp stones smashed into the Qin army like dark clouds, 200,000 Qin troops were completely defeated, and Li Xin himself committed suicide in defeat. Later, Wang Qian, one of the four generals of the Warring States Period, led an army of 600,000 to capture the Chu State, which shows the power of the catapult at that time. With the development of technology, catapults have become more and more advanced, and many "thunderbolts" in the Three Kingdoms games are an improved form of catapults in the Warring States period. Catapults in China reached their peak during the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty military book "Wujing General Essentials" said, "all cannons, sharp weapons in the army, offensive and defensive divisions are used", which shows the importance of catapults, the book also details eight commonly used catapults, the largest of which needs to drag 250 people, up to 8.76 meters, 45 kg of stone projectiles fired, can shoot 90 steps, it must be pointed out here, "Wujing General Essentials" In fact, according to other ancient records and modern scientific calculations and simulations, the launch distance of this catapult is not less than 500 meters, which is not inferior to the firepower preparation of modern warfare in the era of cold weapons!

And there are also 8,000 catapults on the wall of Tianwolf Pass, and the people who operate them alone will be nearly 800,000 people, which is the result of the fact that the body of this world is much stronger. 1000 pounds of stones, the catapult can kill almost 10 enemies every time it is launched, with an average frequency of 1 shot every 3 minutes, in the three minutes when the orcs arrive at the city wall, only the attack of the catapult can kill and injure 80,000 enemies, besides, the main force is not the catapult, and the three million archers on the city wall, each archer can almost easily pull the hard bow of the power of three stones, which is unimaginable in the era of cold weapons in Lin Ruofeng's previous life, in that world, the three-stone hard bow is almost exclusive to the fierce generals of the innate divine power, the power of three hundred catties, it is scary to think about, but here even the archers who have not reached the first order can easily pull the hard bow of three stones or even four stones, the range reaches more than 600 meters (it is not an exaggeration, with 300 that is, 150kg of power to push 0.3kg of arrows, acceleration a = strength F / mass m = 5000m/s2, even because the utilization rate is very low, it can almost reach 1000m/s2, The acceleration alone can reach a terrifying number jù, but the bullet is also at this speed), due to the height of the city wall, the firing range can easily reach 1,200 meters, of course, this is the range to the ground, and the effective range of the anti-air range due to the height of the Great Zhao archers can barely reach four hundred meters.

By the time the orc army reached a distance of 1,800 meters from the Heavenly Wolf Pass, the 30,000 elven archers had already completed the blessing of their holy arrow aura, and the elven mage had also completed the blessing of the holy arrow aura of the 120,000 Xiao cavalry and the 8,000 dragon soul iron cavalry, as well as the 30,000 elite archers under Xiao Yunxian. After completion, the ground range of the elven archers and dragon souls has reached a terrifying 8000 (3000 * 2 [city walls] * 50% [holy arrow] * resistance) more than 1 meter, and the anti-air range has also reached 4000 meters (3000 * 50% * rising resistance) Accurate aiming plus amazing range, the elf archers and dragon souls are also better than the super snipers of later generations on this battlefield.

Orcs don't have mages, so these nearly 40,000 precise arrows target the horned eagles, winged men, and ------ centaurs on the ground that "carry" the "passengers". When the shaman sacrifice appeared, it would naturally become the priority target of the dragon soul and the elven archers, but fortunately, due to the shape shì was not optimistic, the elven clan lifted the rule that only 10 arrows were shot per war, and changed to 30 arrows that the elf body and the mind could withstand, which greatly relieved the pressure on the Great Zhao army.
