Chapter 627 (1/2)
Recently, the long bow of Andes has been blown up in Byron League.
People who have really used it know that this kind of longbow is bulky, inconvenient to carry and has low accuracy. If you want to shoot or hunt accurately, it is definitely not a good choice.
However, when a large number of longbowmen are assembled into an army array, especially when they are defending in the city, they do have their own unique features, especially when the arrow support is sufficient, once the arrow rain is formed, the lethality will be quite terrible.
If you look down from the air, you will find that the arrow rain of Hukou fort is not only from the top of the wall and arrow tower, but also from the inside of the fort, which is thrown out at a large angle.
This means that it can fully mobilize the defensive force.
At present, the garrison of Hukou fort has reached the saturation state, with more than 4300. Under normal conditions, only 1500 to 1800 people defend on the wall, and the rest serve as rotation reserve.
The characteristics of andis Longbow are suitable for throwing, so that these reservists can act as temporary longbowmen in the city, bringing damage to the siegers in the middle and close range.
What's the concept of more than 3000 longbowmen making a powerful attack at the same time?
Even if they are not professional longbowmen, they can open three bows in ten seconds.
Tens of thousands of sharp arrows have been smashed into the chaos of Odin Orc siege team, and the damage caused is more terrible than the black fire medicine barrels thrown out by the stone throwing machine.
After all, there are only 18 stone throwers on Hukou fort.
The operation of this device is complicated, and the firing rate is not ideal.
Full play, full calculation, also get more than a minute.
If the Odin orcs could overcome their fear and rush forward, they would find this fatal flaw.
On average, the lethality of the black fire medicine barrel is just that, completely within the acceptable range.
The orc's tone of voice said that they were defeated by the terrible explosion power of the black fire barrel, rather than dominated by the fear in their hearts.
No matter what the reason is, the collapse is the collapse.
Once broken, it is difficult to gather courage again in a short time.
Without morale, the orcs of Odin are no longer a group of ferocious wolves, but a group of lambs to be slaughtered.
”Alas Veteran Jim looked at the orcs who had left thousands of corpses and retreated in disorder. He hammered the wall of the city and sighed indignantly.
Among the cheers, the sigh was particularly harsh.
”What's the matter? Uncle Jim, we've just won a brilliant victory. It's something to be happy about. Why sigh? ” Jamil's face flushed with excitement.
Recruits like him are most likely to be inspired by such things.
It was a brilliant victory.
From beginning to end, Odin orcs did not have a chance to launch a serious attack on the walls of Hukou fort.
The death rate of the garrison soldiers in Hukou fort was zero. Only a dozen hapless men were accidentally shot by arrows thrown by the other side. Most of them were not fatal. At most, they were broken heads and blood or broken several bones.
ording Orc wolf clan archery is amazing, but weapons are really suck.
This naturally makes them happy.
The more powerful the weapons they hold, the more likely they will be born to exist in war.
”We've let go of a great opportunity. If we have 3000 elite riders, no, even if we give me a thousand, at the moment, the gate of the city will be opened and we will follow them to kill them. We will not only repel their attack, but also drive them back to the grassland. At that time, we will not be as simple as a thousand people Single. ” Veteran Jim said more and more indignant, ”what a pity! What a pity
The opportunity is rare. If you miss this one.
When Odin orcs regroup and attack again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the black fire medicine barrel to play its ability to frighten the soul.
”No, there are tens of thousands of Odin orcs out there.” Jamil didn't believe Jim, even if he was a veteran.
”What do recruits know! A soldier with morale is a soldier. If he has no morale, he is also a group of farmers in armor even though he is well equipped. What is the strategy of driving sheep? ” Jim was very dissatisfied with Jamil's query.
”I don't know.” Jamil shook his head honestly, his background and experience, so that he did not have the opportunity to contact this area.
”The strategy of driving sheep is to drive the defeated soldiers away from their rear areas. These soldiers who have already lost their courage will spread this negative emotion to their companions and let them run with them, just like sheep blindly following the head sheep. They don't know why they did so, which led to the great collapse.
Earlier, general Pedro led the blood horse to raid the miracle peninsula. He used this move to the extreme. He used the fear of the herdsmen and serfs to trample on the land with millions of enemies Jim smashed his mouth, and his eyes were filled with admiration.It is the biggest dream of every broken pulse soldier to join the blood riding on the fracture. Although he can be called elite, he still has a long way to go before joining the blood riding on the fracture.
”It's a pity that we don't have the strength of blood riding.” Jamil still couldn't imagine what Jim said, and attributed part of the credit to his own force.
”Fool, it's no use talking to you too much.” After venting his anger, Jim sat down again under the battlements. ”Now you can rest at ease. This new weapon from the commander of the eternal night army is more powerful than I imagined. Now it is estimated that the orcs of Odin are also scared. They will not have the courage to continue to attack for a day and a half. We can't go out of the city to fight back, causing them a lot of damage and giving them a chance to recover Well, this war will not be over for a while, but there will be more to come! ”
”If we look at the situation just now, the orcs of Odin will not be able to die even in large numbers.” Jamil squatted back.
At this time, he found that his breath was relieved, his legs and feet were a little soft, and he was shaking involuntarily.
The war just lasted for a short time, but every string of his body was stretched tightly, causing a lot of physical exhaustion.
”Are you weak? It's a normal phenomenon. It's good for us to experience two more games. ” Jim lost another handful of jerky to Jamil and chewed it on his own.
Jamil couldn't help but stare at his chest. How much did he have in his arms? When it's critical, I don't know if it can be used as armor?
Jamil did not refuse the other party's good intentions, because he found that this method can not only replenish physical strength, but also distract his attention, so that his spirit will not be so tight, and then ease the body and mind.
Jim then said, ”don't be so optimistic about things. No matter what kind of black fire medicine barrel or the number of long bows and arrows are limited. According to the consumption rate of the war just now, it can't last for a few days. You see, people outside the city have begun to clean up the battlefield.”
While they were talking, the gate of Hukou Fort had been opened.
Hundreds of broken pulse soldiers, swaggering out.
The mending knife in front of me is to harvest the orcs who are not dead yet. They have no intention of receiving captives.
The others are collecting arrows, whether intact or damaged. Even the arrows on Odin Orc corpses have been dug out by them.
Obviously, the main general of the blood castle is also preparing for a long war.
After all, there are so many orcs in Odin that it is not easy to defeat them completely.
The general of Hukou Fort didn't realize that it was just a great opportunity to attack, but they didn't have cavalry in their hands.
