Chapter 675: Attack from All Sides (1)
In the sky, the floating battleship sent back the news that the enemy had been spotted more than a hundred miles away from the battlefield. It was an orc army of about 50,000 people, lurking in the heavy snow, and suddenly appeared, which also startled the scouts.
The floating battleship does not rely on the eyes to search for targets, the formation has the ability to scan similar to divine sense, and these more than 50,000 orcs are so well hidden.
Tang He sneered, more than a hundred miles, the orc legion thought that it would be able to solve the battle by entangling itself with the forward, and then the army rushed up?
They could never have imagined that more than a thousand strikers would be quickly cleaned up by themselves. On their own side, there are only 5,000 people who need to rest.
More than 50,000 orcs, if they don't use the strong, the 120,000 human corps is indeed a huge pressure.
If it weren't for the replacement of brand new equipment and the use of hopeless soldiers, Tang He would not even be sure of victory. This army of 50,000 orcs has been hiding in the snow for a long time. I am afraid that no human army has this kind of spirit of enduring hardship.
For orcs, this is a very common thing.
Tang He suddenly liked these orcs, but unfortunately, he had to defeat them.
The orc legion a hundred miles away is advancing at full speed, and the two sides can meet in about half an hour. Half an hour, five thousand people are enough to rest.
Thinking of this, Tang He ordered to set up a formation in advance, slow down the pace of progress, and prepare to meet the enemy.
Tang He's side is preparing for a big battle, and Su Jing's side is also ushering in its own battle. He took the middle lane and went straight to the royal city, this time without the original Tianyi, and the arrangement of the allied forces was quite simple and relaxed.
Su Jing had 80,000 people on his side, and there were 120,000 behind him to slow down the angle, and a legion moved forward. Start cleaning up the village, just like on the three islands of hell. In the sky, small Thunderbird ships and airships have not stopped scouting. Su Jing didn't distrust his stargazing skills.
Just when he used stargazing, he couldn't do anything else, he couldn't be the commander of an army and be a scout all the time. And stargazing is not foolproof, everyone has long had their own skills. will lose the usual means of detection.
Su Jing would rather charge into battle now than be a meticulous command. He is no longer involved in all the work that should be done by his subordinates.
The command is all handed over to the amateur dragon, and this guy's promotion is second only to Su Mu. And he is a pure human being, there is no possibility of any mixed race, and what is even more amazing is that he was a Buddhist believer before, but now he has become an unbeliever.
Su Jing is the commander of the Six Dao Divine Soldiers, and Amateur Long is the deputy commander. He also commanded three large armies at the same time.
Anyway, he has the Tie sister and brother Jia Ji Wushuang on his side, and it is the safest way. On Su Mu's side, her own combat power is strong enough, and there are several of them per person, and Su Jing is not worried, beside Princess Wuwu, there are royal qi refiners, and some things given by the emperor. Less dangerous.
The main trouble is on Tang He and Mu Yinyan. In the hands of these two people. There are no too powerful Qi Refiners, relying on their own Dao soldiers and equipment, they can barely take charge on their own.
Su Jing felt that it was time to solve the problem of high-end combat power.
Su Jing marched at high speed and broke through three villages in a row. Destroyed three altars and got three nice loot. It was the bones of the three beast gods. Of course, this is not the bones of the beast god, but the bones left behind when the beast god's men fell. The beast god scattered it in the world. Attract believers.
Inside the three altars, there are three very small divine bones, the energy is pure, and the amount of rule power contained in them is not too high, which is equivalent to Ji Wushuang's golden pill.
Therefore, Su Jing was able to quickly bulldoze the altar, and the amount of power that the bones of the beast god could provide to the sacrifice was only equivalent to the regular power that the Qi Refiner of the Jindan Quadruple possessed.
For a village, this is quite powerful, but for the allies, it is a force that can be easily leveled.
After breaking through three villages in a row, there was a small town in front of it, with a radius of less than two miles, which was relatively simple, but the reconnaissance Thunderbird saw a large altar.
This town, there are more than 1,000 orc garrisons, there is no strong city defense weapons, but the town is quite strong, the height of the city wall is ten zhang, the thickness of the bottom is fifteen zhang, and it gradually narrows to the top. The interior of the city is full of messy stone houses, which are not fortifications, but strong enough to withstand the attacks of trebuchets.
Su Jing still needs to train his troops now, and when he saw this information, he asked Amateur Dragon to mobilize 40,000 people to attack the city.
40,000 people fighting more than 1,000 orcs, it seems to be an absolute advantage. However, the more than 1,000 orcs are equivalent to more than 10,000 human warriors, and if calculated in this way, a four-fold advantage in numbers to attack the city can be regarded as a test.
This time, Su Jing wanted to exercise siege skills.
In the ice and snow, even if the Dryad trebuchet is arranged, the effect is not ideal, and the launch speed is slow. Amateur Dragon asked the engineering battalion to make a makeshift trebuchet.
The base of the improvised trebuchet is cast together with a mixture of stone and ice. The mechanical part on the top is the object carried by the engineering battalion, and the longest trebuchet projection arm comes from the nearby forest, which is directly cut down, simply refined, pasted with paper symbols, and directly discarded after this battle.
Amateur Dragon commanded 40,000 soldiers, rested for half an hour, and then began to attack the city.
Ten golems were in front, behind were three siege vehicles, and next to the siege engines, six hundred cavalry. These cavalry are to prevent the enemy from going out of the city to fight and destroy siege vehicles.
Next to the golem were the siege infantry.
The Chinese army of the amateur dragon did not impact in front. In charge of the siege were 1,500 mixed infantry. The infantry followed the golem and walked slowly, and only began to speed up when they were still fifty feet away from the city wall.
And by this time, the trebuchet had already begun to attack.
As the cheapest ranged weapon, the trebuchet is not too slow to fire. Moreover, the number of stone projectiles delivered at one time is still above the Dryad trebuchet. It's just that this kind of trebuchet has no accurate head, and the radius of the stone projectiles scattered has reached 20 zhang away.
That's a distance of more than 50 meters, and if you want to attack accurately, you can't rely on it at all.
But for the sake of this town, the amateur dragon has built five hundred trebuchets, which is an incredible number for the pure cold weapon world, because you can't arrange these five hundred trebuchets, there is no place to put them.
For the Shenzhou World Realm, where range is not a problem, it is quite easy to send a trebuchet five miles away and place it in a five-hundred-siege city, as long as it is not rushed out by the enemy and destroyed.
If it were a huge orc city, it would indeed send troops out. It's a pity that there are only more than a thousand orcs in this city, and five hundred are sent to stuff the teeth of the amateur dragon.
The orcs were on guard, huddled in the fortifications, and let the stone bullets from the sky fall, firing non-stop.
The orcs in charge of the lookout, only one of each high platform, saw the stone projectiles flying, and simply hid back in the cave. The orc archers tried their hand at the towers around the town and found that it didn't make sense to gather all the archers and strike more than three rounds to destroy a trebuchet.
So the orc archers also hid, just waiting for the enemy to enter the city and fight in the streets. They don't believe that trebuchets can still attack in street fighting, so they don't worry about accidentally injuring their own people?
Rumble!
The golem replaced the giant axe in his hand and began to chop through the walls of the orcs. This way through, counterattacks are sporadic and stress-free. The orc's spear was stuck in the golem, and the golem still moved, and as a result, half of the dozen orcs who came up were smashed down by stone bullets, and the other was forced to re-enter the fortifications by the archers.
There are not many archers who go with the army, it is cold and snowy, archers have to wear gloves to fight, only archers at the level of archers will distribute gloves made of Taoism, ordinary archers, the gloves used will reduce the accuracy of the bow and arrows.
The wind is still blowing, and the effect on the bow and arrow is too great.
The amateur dragon had to make a temporary adjustment and put on ten siege puppets. These golems are not humanoids, but boxy platforms with sixteen metal legs around them. On the platform is the Soul Cannon of Mother and Son.
By the time the ten puppets came into range, the city had already given up resistance. The siege vehicle crashed open the gates and found that the gates had been blocked by huge stones.
The first two siege vehicles got out of the way, and the third siege vehicle showed its muzzle, but it was a large-caliber magic crystal cannon.
A soldier approached the boulder blocking the city gate, put a paper charm on the boulder, and then activated the Qi Refiner. After the paper charm was activated, the magic crystal cannon came with all its strength to bombard it head-on.
The entire tower collapsed, and a gap of about two zhang wide appeared in the part of the city gate.
In the face of a wall without a formation guard, the role of the magic crystal cannon is the most obvious. After blasting open a gap, the orc soldiers began to assemble in this direction.
On the side of the amateur dragon, the trebuchet did not continue to attack, but no one entered the city, but sent two chariots to clear the soldiers who were holding the gap in the city with dragon arrows.
In the sky, the Thunderbird ship only began to harass at this time, attacking with a sixth-level laser rune cannon. Level 6 attacks can only cause pain to the opponent, and even if the enemy is wearing leather armor, there is no way to produce a burning attack.
Sure enough, the orcs who were attacked, although they were in extreme pain, did not roll around the ground like the enemies they had encountered before.
The effect of the Pain Rune on orcs is not as obvious as that of humans. Orcs are a race that can endure pain, not that they don't suffer anymore. It's just that they can continue to fight in the face of severe pain.
Of course, such an attack still caused the orc's movements to slow down, and the strength of the force to decay.
The golem continued to mechanically destroy the walls with its great axe. The walls were made of stones, but the axe itself, with its dense runes and inlaid jade, showed the pertinence of the weapon.
The wall, which was not defended by soldiers, was quickly cut through ten gaps of the same size. Counting the city gates, on the front with a width of more than five hundred meters, eleven gaps appeared. (To be continued......)
