Chapter 135: Offensive and defensive battle in the novice village
In order to prevent the opponents from discovering that they were digging tunnels, these rebel high-ranking people also specially told the digging people that all the excavated soil should be spread in the camp, and there was no need to take it out of the camp to dump. At most, this would make the ground of the camp a little higher, and the enemy would never have discovered this unless they had personally entered the camp to inspect it.
And Luo Chenguang saw that the enemy army did not attack again after retreating, and immediately asked the soldiers to seize the time to rest, while he led a group of people to recover all the arrows on those baffles, so that after the ammunition in the city was exhausted, he could continue to use these arrows to fight back.
After being busy until evening, the enemy still did not launch a second attack, Luo Chenguang felt that something was wrong, so he was ready to wait until after night to send a few people to reconnoiter the enemy situation and see what the hell those enemy troops were doing.
On the other side, the army of the Svadia Kingdom finally arrived at the Novice Village before nightfall.
Ye Tianlong saw the arrival of the enemy's follow-up troops, and also understood that the enemy army should soon launch an attack. Before, he and the opponent's cavalry dragged back and forth for several rounds, and killed more than a dozen beast heavy cavalry before and after, but after these beast heavy cavalry were killed, in addition to experience points, Ye Tianlong also gained some points, although each beast heavy cavalry only provided him with five or six points at most, but when it accumulated, it was also a big gain, Ye Tianlong was now waiting for the opponent to launch a general attack to wipe out all the opponent's group of beast heavy cavalry.
What made Ye Tianlong strange was that he had also killed a lot of beast soldiers in the process of conquering cities in the Swadia Kingdom before, but he didn't get any point rewards.
After analyzing with his subordinates, Ye Tianlong and the others found that the only difference between the two was that those beast man heavy cavalry had been taking the beast medicine for a longer time, and had completely digested the power of the medicine, and their strength was stronger than those beast soldiers he had encountered before. It may be that this beast soldier who has completely digested the potion and completed the complete transformation will only reward points after killing. The last time he met in Dehrim City, the demonized warrior seemed to be in the same situation, that guy's strength was already ridiculously strong, and he didn't know how long he had taken that kind of demonic potion, Li Rufeng and several of their innate masters could only contain each other together, but could not quickly kill the other party, and finally relied on heavy artillery to take it down.
In order to prevent the enemy from sneaking up at night, Ye Tianlong spent the night on the city wall, where he kept vigil and silently practiced martial arts.
Perhaps because of the pressure before the coming of the war, Ye Tianlong actually succeeded in cultivating this night.
After breaking through to the point of turning strength, Ye Tianlong's strength attribute has been increased to a height of eighty points, his agility attribute is also seventy-six points, his spiritual power is seventy-three points, and his health value is one thousand six hundred points.
Feeling the improvement of his strength, Ye Tianlong felt very satisfied, his current combat strength was already about to catch up with the tiger general Li Zhong. After that, even if he encountered some masters of the enemy army, he dared to go up and make a few moves, instead of hiding in the distance and shooting arrows to harass him as before.
As the sky gradually brightened, the enemy troops outside the city began to slowly pour out of the camp, and it can be seen that these enemies did not waste time in vain last night, but hurried to make a lot of siege equipment.
However, the walls and various fortifications of the novice village are also much stronger than those of Oudasang Town, and with the 1,000 veterans and 2,000 recruits in the upper city, Ye Tianlong is still very sure to hold it.
Soon, a combat airship in the city of the Novice Village also slowly took off, approaching the enemy troops outside the city. Obviously, Ye Tianlong was going to give the other party an air attack before attacking, so that these Swadians could feel the enthusiasm of the Nord Kingdom.
However, just as the battle airship began to slowly approach the sky above the enemy, in the enemy's large array, more than a hundred beast warriors with wings or bats growing on their backs suddenly took off, and then rushed straight towards the battle airship at a fast speed.
Ye Tianlong also didn't expect that during this time, the demons behind the Swadia Kingdom had actually cultivated so many beast warriors with flying ability, so it seemed that in addition to the most elite beast man heavy cavalry, the other party should have also cultivated a lot of beast man heavy infantry and crossbowmen to siege the city.
After being surprised, Ye Tianlong immediately asked one of the guards beside him to send a flag to Zhou Jiale on the airship, asking the other party to quickly control the battle airship back, after all, the flexibility of the battle airship is too poor, and it is impossible to be the opponent of those beast warriors.
After seeing the flag sent by Ye Tianlong, Zhou Jiale also ordered a retreat very decisively, and at the same time asked the gunners and riflemen on the airship to aim at those beast warriors with flying ability, and opened fire as soon as the opponent entered the firing range.
Compared to the large and bulky combat airships, the flying beast warriors are indeed fast, and in order to pursue the highest mobility, these guys are only wearing light leather armor, and most of the weapons in their hands are heavy crossbows and bows.
"Fire!" Seeing that those flying beasts had entered the range of the artillery, Zhou Jiale immediately yelled and gave the order to fire.
Suddenly, the small-caliber rapid-fire artillery on the combat airship opened fire one after another, but unfortunately this flying target is much more difficult to hit than a land target, after this round of shelling, only one flying beast was killed, and all the other shells were empty.
And those flying beasts were frightened by the sound of the cannon, and they quickly dispersed in the air, making it more difficult for the gunners on the airship to fight, and some of the beast warriors flew directly above the combat airship, which is a dead angle for the shooting of the combat airship, after all, above the airship is the huge airbag, if the artillery shoots there, it is easy to miss the airbag.
As the distance continued to close, soon the musketeers on the battle airship also opened fire, because the flintlock rifles were more numerous than the artillery, and the bullets fired were more dense, so under a salvo, it was finally possible to defeat seven flying beast warriors.
However, more of the Flying Beast warriors took advantage of their high speed as flying troops, quickly approaching the battle airship before the musketeers could finish reloading, and then began to fire arrows at the soldiers above.
"Artillery, exchange shots! Hit me hard! Zhou Jiale raised a steel shield, blocked a few arrows fired at him, and then ordered the gunners on the airship.
But as soon as his words fell, the battle airship suddenly had a violent tremor, causing many soldiers on the airship to be shaken and fall to the ground.
Zhou Jiale knew very well that this should be the airship airbag that was missed by those beast warriors, and fortunately, they are not far from the novice village now, and they should be able to make a forced landing in the city if they hurry up, otherwise if they are forced to land outside the city, I am afraid that they will be killed by those beast heavy cavalry in a few minutes.
After replacing it with shotguns, the guns on the battle airship fired waves of dense shotguns at those flying beast warriors, but unfortunately those flying half-orc warriors were already very scattered, and often only one person could be killed at most in one shot, and it was impossible to stop all the flying half-orcs at all.
No, soon a dozen orc warriors actually flew directly onto the airship, and then a spear in his hand pierced a soldier's armor with the force of a swoop, piercing his chest.
"Damn it!" Zhou Jiale saw that the soldier not far from him was killed like this, so he was so angry that he immediately took out a special flintlock pistol on his body, and aimed at the beast warrior is shot.
After the other party noticed Zhou Jiale's movements, he immediately pulled the spear out of the chest of the enemy soldier he killed, turned around and threw it at Zhou Jiale.
Almost at the same time as he threw his spear, Zhou Jiale's bullet hit him in the chest, blasting a bloody hole in his chest and killing him.
And the spear he threw was only bounced off after a spark sparked on the blue-scaled armor on Zhou Jiale's body.
However, the other soldiers on the battle airship did not have such good armor as Zhou Jiale, and in the process of fighting with those beast warriors who pounced on the airship, they were still easily injured or even killed by these fierce beast warriors who fought fiercely.
While the two sides were fighting fiercely in the sky, on the ground battlefield, the Svadia Kingdom had already launched a fierce attack, and more than two hundred beast human heavy cavalry as the vanguard charged towards the novice village. Behind them were more infantry and crossbowmen, pushing all sorts of siege equipment to follow slowly.
Braving the fierce artillery fire from the city wall, after paying nearly half of the casualties, these beast man heavy cavalry finally successfully approached a distance of more than 100 meters away from the city wall, and then these beast man heavy cavalry actually used all their strength, and also threw out heavy javelins one after another with the speed bonus of the impact of the war horse.
With the brute strength of these beast men and heavy cavalry, these javelins actually managed to cross a distance of more than a hundred meters and fall on the city wall.
"Be careful, hide!" Ye Tianlong's eyes roared in shock, and at the same time, he quickly hid behind the city wall.
Some of the soldiers who were unable to react were hit by these javelins with incredible strength, and they were instantly pierced through their armor and bodies, and they fell down one by one screaming.
"The rifleman opened fire on me! Kill these guys! ”
Because these beast heavy cavalry had also entered the range of flintlock rifles at this time, Ye Tianlong ordered the soldiers equipped with flintlock rifles on the city wall to open fire.
After a dense burst of gunfire, many of those beast heavy cavalry were hit by bullets, but unfortunately such a long distance was close to the farthest effective range of the flintlock rifles, and after the bullets pierced through the thick armor on their bodies, they only caused some minor injuries to these beast heavy cavalry, and this injury did not affect the state of these beast heavy cavalry at all, they quickly retreated, giving up the stage to those infantry and crossbowmen.
Ye Tianlong guessed correctly, those demons have also cultivated a lot of beast human heavy infantry and crossbowmen during this time, and that kind of heavy infantry is also the same as the heavy cavalry, equipped with that kind of heavy javelin.
And those beast human crossbowmen are equipped with special super hard bows and heavy crossbows. These special crossbows have a maximum effective killing distance of about 300 meters.
