Seventy-seven, the flames of war (2)

Facing the encirclement that had been completed by the Bright Army, the leader of the Heavenly Wolf Army, the Wolf Guard, said, "Your Excellency Yinyue, we are a little bad this time. "Wolf Guard, what's wrong with us?" "We've surrounded those light debris, our magic cannons are not as good as humans, if we let them blast through the wall, then we will be in danger." "Wolf Guard, you can rest assured, magic artillery battles are not just as simple as ordinary battles, sometimes, the commander's command ability is more important, what we have to do now is to defend, in order to wait for the rescue of His Highness Xuantian, you can rest assured, this is what I planned with Xuantian, just waiting for humans to fall for this?"

By the time the Guangming Army completed the encirclement, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon of the 18th, after all, the left and right flanks had to complete the encirclement, and it was a relatively long way to run, so when the encirclement was formed, the front had already lined up and was ready to attack. The entire orc camp was ninety kilometers long, hundreds of millions of troops were concentrated five kilometers away from the city wall, and a large number of magic cannons were pushed out, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed at the wall, waiting for the orders of their commanders. Similarly, the orcs did not show weakness, pushing out all the magic cannons, preparing to fight against the army of light.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Somas gave an order: "Open the gun." At the same time, the magic cannons of the orc army also began to fight back, and the magic cannons of the two sides began to fight back, and the magic cannons of both sides began a fierce artillery battle, with a large number of magic cannons into the war, everyone realized that if they attacked the troops with a large number of magic cannons, they would only find death, therefore, the number of magic cannons has become one of the important symbols to measure the combat effectiveness of a legion.

The magic cannon troops on both sides are constantly moving their positions, and at the same time, the cannonballs are blasted out, the battle is very fierce, however, the hit rate is needless to say, the hit rate of these magic cannons is like the earth's medieval cannons, the hit rate is very low, if you want to destroy the enemy's artillery, you need not only the courage to fight, but also some luck, of course, a large number of concentrated use of artillery is also a certain advantage, both sides are concentrating on the use of artillery, therefore, the loss of the magic artillery troops on both sides is still relatively large。

As long as the bright army lost some magic cannons, but the orc camp was devastated, a large number of magic cannons flew over the wall, fell into the camp, destroyed some of the orcs' tents or something, but the damage to the army was not much, and the orc army had already retreated from the artillery range. As for the number of shells that hit the wall, there are still not many, but there are too many shells, and the damage to the wall is still relatively serious.

The artillery battle lasted only three hours, and the losses on both sides were about the same, the Bright Army lost more than 800 cannons, while the orcs also lost more than 600, and the losses were not very serious. Now, all the armies have learned how to protect their artillery, a large number of magicians have set up defensive magic arrays around the artillery, so that they can effectively protect their own artillery and artillery, so, although the battle is very fierce, but the losses are not very heavy, it is certain that if you want to use magic cannons to completely destroy more than 8,000 magic cannons of the orcs, I am afraid that it will take more than a day and a night, if you do not suppress the orc artillery fire, the infantry attack is just artillery fire, so even if Somas wants to attack again, he has to order the artillery to destroy all the magic cannon units of the orcs and open the way for the infantry。

Fighting until the night, the hit rate of the magic cannon is naturally lower, but, no matter how low it is, in this case, the Light Army cannot retreat, it can only continue to fight, and the orcs are not having a good time, the other party wants to fight, and it is not their turn to say that they will not fight. So, the artillery battle continued.

It's just that there is still a little problem between the two sides, the orcs can have a place to rest, but the Bright Army doesn't even have a place to rest, go down to the camp, then forget it, if hundreds of millions of troops want to set up camp, how long will it take? Also, in front of the enemy, isn't that looking for excitement? If you want to rest, it is better to retreat to Gebiye Fortress, but after retreating, will you come back tomorrow? That's nonsense, so the Bright Army can only stay where you are and rest, waiting for the artillery to decide the victory.

The artillery lasted all night, and the losses on both sides were not large, on the orc side, more than 800 guns were lost, and on the side of the Bright Army, the losses were less than 1,000 guns, but the consumption of shells was gone, and the shells consumed by many parties in one night last night were as high as more than 2.8 million rounds, which was an astonishing consumption.

Somas was a little puzzled, and said to his deputy commander Figut: "Figut, are the orcs too rich, they have fired more than a million shells in the last battle, and since yesterday, they have fired at least 1.8 million shells, their shells will not be enough like this." Figut frowned and said: "Commander, if this is the case, we should carefully estimate, if the number of cannonballs of the orcs is far higher than that of our army, I am afraid that our army's cannonballs are exhausted, and they still have cannonballs, then we will be in a little trouble." ”

Alerted by Figut, Somas immediately ordered: "Let the quartermaster come to me." "It didn't take long for the quartermaster to arrive. Somas asked: "How many shells do we have left?" "Report to the commander, our army still has about 1.2 million rounds of shells. Somas waved his hand for the quartermaster to do his job, and then said reassuringly: "Figut, we have no problem at all, I don't believe it, they still have so many shells." "Commander, it's better to be careful, Xuantian has the support of the Yanhuang clan, maybe they really have a lot of shells, and we have to find a way to find shells from other places." "Okay, Figut, this task is left to you, there should be a large reserve of cannonballs in the fortress, you go and transport it." "Very good, Legion Commander. ”

Nicholas received the report at two o'clock in the afternoon of the 18th, and he slapped the table and shouted: "Nonsense, what is Somas going to do?" Karatochi said: "It seems that Somas wants to annihilate the orcs." If Xuantian is so easy to defeat, then our life will not be so sad, do you really think that Somas can completely annihilate the orc army? I am sure that this is definitely a conspiracy of Xuantian, maybe Xuantian is snickering at this time?"

Dilley said: "Nicholas, no matter what, it is impossible to order Somas to retreat now, what we have to do is to support him, even if Xuantian has any conspiracy, as long as we gather the army together, I am afraid that Xuantian will not be able to do anything, we still have eight legions of troops, if all of them go to support Somas, then even if Xuantian has any plans, it will not work." ”

Nicholas said slowly: "Uncle Dili, if Xuantian didn't fight this idea, but waited for our army to leave the Kasoda Fortress and then attack the Kasoda Fortress, then how would our army deal with it?" "Nicholas, I think, although Xuantian still has one or two legions in reserve, it is not easy to capture the Kasoda Fortress, and besides, Xuantian doesn't want his seven legions, you must know that there is still his wife among the seven legions." ”

Nicholas said: " If I were Xuantian, I would choose to let the seven legions retreat, although our army has completed the encirclement of the orcs, but don't forget, the ratmen among the orcs are very good at digging tunnels, I was defeated under the orc's tunnels, if the orcs used the ratmen to dig the tunnels early in the morning, and then, using the artillery battles between the two sides to retreat from the tunnels, in that way, the main force of our army is concentrated on the western front, and Xuantian is able to concentrate the strength of several legions to attack the Kasoda Fortress, can the Kasoda Fortress really be able to hold itOnce the fortress of Kasoda is lost, when the time comes, an army of more than 100 million orcs will enter our territory, and then it will be troublesome, once they disperse to fight, will we have so many troops to encircle and suppress them? At that time, we will have to retreat thousands of miles like the last time, and retreat to the next line of defense, and this result is something we cannot bear. ”

Dilley's face sank and he said, "Nicholas, are you worrying too much. "No, I'll take all possibilities into consideration, Uncle Diley, and tell Somas at once to check around the orc camp for any orc exits. Uncle Karatochi, you immediately personally lead a part of the elite to reconnoiter in the sea of death sand, I want to get the most accurate information, and see if Xuantian is going to Gebiye Fortress or will he not move?" ”

After Karatochi left, Dilly cursed: "Somas, you idiot. "He's not stupid, he's just trying to make a meritorious service, Uncle Diley, order the troops to prepare for battle, you take the two legions first, and hopefully it won't be too late when we arrive." "Don't you wait for news from Karatochi?" "Don't wait, we left Uncle Karatochi with the strength of three legions, and we used five to save Somas, we should be able to save him, I suddenly thought of it just now, I'm afraid that Xuantian guy is using the psychological factor of my defeat by the tunnel to interfere with me, therefore, I think that Xuantian wants to annihilate our army in one fell swoop in Gebiye Fortress, and now I hope that it will not be too late for us to rush." ”

Dilly shook his body and said, "Do you think Xuantian has the ability to completely annihilate our army? "It shouldn't be possible to annihilate them all, but, that guy Xuantian, I definitely don't dare to underestimate it, this time it's a big trouble." Nicholas sighed, "No matter what, I can't die without help." ”

Dilley said, "Well, Nicholas, I'll go at once." When Dilly was gone, Nigu personally repaired a letter and handed it to the captain of his guard, Lebida, saying, "Lebida, you immediately send this letter back to the Holy Mountain of Light, and ask the Holy Lord to personally deliver this letter to His Majesty the Pope, and do it immediately." "My lord, who will protect your safety without me by your side?" "Hehe, Lebida, although I don't have advanced cultivation, but I have learned a little kung fu over the years, it is still possible to protect myself, besides, I have the protection of your own personally trained soldiers, there will be no danger, if this letter is not handed over to His Majesty the Pope, I will be in danger?" "Okay, my lord, I will go now, and when I finish handing over the letter, I will immediately return to your side to protect you." Lebida took the letter and quickly disappeared.

Nicholas sighed and said: "Xuantian, you have won this battle, but you will not have a good time, our days are still long?" He turned his head and shouted: "Pass my order, the thirteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth army will immediately prepare for battle and attack, and after an hour, our army will set off immediately." "Yes, sir. ”
