Chapter 1013, Siege Master (2)

At this moment, Kaladin Black Iron's heart was undoubtedly broken.

Not to mention a primitive man like him, even John Thrall would probably have an explosive state of mind standing here.

Who would have thought that Luo Ji would have such a sniper-like force?

Magic arrows are a special item that can be said to be one of the signature features of elven civilization. Only elven craftsmen of the high elves can make them, and gray elves may also be able to make them.

In the battle with John Thrall and the others, Luo Ji asked the elven archers to use explosive arrows and lightning arrows, but never the wind-chasing arrows!

When he was messaging and chatting with Ye Qingxuan before, he said that he would never do anything he was unsure of.

He was not bragging by saying this.

After all, the existence of wind-chasing arrows is enough for the elf archers to carry out long-range sniping, depriving the defensive firepower of the wall on the opposite wall in one fell swoop!

The significant reduction in the defensive firepower made Gawain's offensive become more aggressive.

After giving the order, taking advantage of the time for the cannon to cool down, the entire siege force pushed forward another fifty meters.

"Aim at the city gate and blast it to pieces!!"

The closer the distance is, the more powerful the bombardment becomes.

Coupled with the dual destructive power BUFF blessings of Gawain’s ‘siege master’ and ‘siege technique’.

Even John Saar's armored city gate, which was made of rich materials, began to be obviously deformed after a round of shelling.

If the cannon hadn't needed time to cool down after firing, then this city gate would have been completely blown to pieces by Gawain, right?

There cannot be only a few artillerymen in a city. If a group of them die during the battle, replacements will inevitably be needed.

Taking advantage of the cooling time of the cannons on the opposite side, Kaladin Black Iron, as the defensive general, quickly commanded the reserve dwarf artillery to control the cannons on the wall in an attempt to regroup.

Of course, Gawain could not give them this opportunity and directly signaled the elven archers to continue suppressing the wall.

During this period, in order to thoroughly understand this matter, Kaladin Black Iron also held up a telescope and carefully looked outside.

Then his whole face suddenly showed an expression that looked like he had seen a ghost.

If he saw it correctly, there seemed to be a troop of archers on the opposite side, bending their bows and setting arrows nearly five hundred meters away from his city wall?!

Damn! Are you kidding me? Are they using bows and arrows or sniper rifles? Isn’t this range too bullying?!

If John Thrall were standing on the wall right now, he would most likely go crazy like this.

As for Kaladin Dark Iron, who saw this scene with his own eyes, he obviously couldn't understand this supernatural magical power. His whole mind was in a mess, and he couldn't understand the principle of the bow and arrow on the opposite side.

But no matter what, what can be confirmed now is that this battle is no longer easy to fight. The Horn City he is in charge of cannot withstand the artillery bombardment from the opposite side!

After realizing this, Kaladin Dark Iron took a deep breath.

The current situation left him no choice.

"Let all the soldiers gather at the city gate, then open the city gate and go out to attack!!"

The dwarf army formed a military formation and fought directly out of the Horn City. The dwarf heavy armored infantry troops and the dwarf battle axemen troops took the lead in the charge.

The distance between the two sides was less than three hundred meters. At this time, Gawain obviously did not intend to fight too hard.

As soon as he saw the dwarf army approaching, he decisively retreated with his siege troops. The elven archers and goblin crossbowmen also suppressed the advancing dwarf army without hesitation.

During this period, the orc vanguard army and the main human army in the rear also formed a military formation, neatly cutting off the path of the dwarf army.

With Du Yuanzhi, the divine strategist, Gao Wen basically did not need to worry about the command of the main force. Using the sound of the horn as a signal, the well-trained human troops quickly formed a charging formation and directly fought against the dwarf army.

A ball.

The fierce flames of war spread on the battlefield. As a powerful general, Kaladin Black Iron naturally waved the battle ax in his hand and took the lead in the charge, showing quite astonishing bravery.

On this side, Guo Zhen, who was also a general of the vanguard army, decisively faced them.

Between the swings of the battle axes, just one face-to-face encounter and one round of fighting, they already realized how difficult the opponent in front of them was.

A fierce battle began.

During this period, Gawain, who had led the siege troops back to the outskirts of the battlefield, carefully observed the situation in the main battlefield with the telescope in his hand.

Just as His Majesty said, Du Yuanzhi is capable. He basically doesn't need to worry about commanding the human army, and the attack of the orc army is even more aggressive.

However, before this siege officially started, it took a month of troop mobilization. During this period, the man on the opposite side, John Thrall, was obviously not idle either.

While ordering the dwarves in Horn City to dig trenches, they also asked several dwarf cities in the rear to mobilize a lot of troops to the front line.

The population of the dwarf civilization is not large, but it definitely has nothing to do with scarcity.

If I have to say it, it should be stuck in the middle, almost at the level of 'normal'.

From a visual inspection of the troops that came out of the city to attack, Gawain estimated that there were tens of thousands.

Originally, he wanted to use his own methods to get off to a good start by capturing the enemy's border city on the first day, thus demonstrating his value and skills as the Goblin King.

But looking at the current situation, it would be difficult for his siege troops to open fire if the opponent took the initiative to leave the city and fight with them. As a result, it would be difficult to break the city in a short period of time.

And this is indeed the case. The battle lasted until dusk. The muscles of the dwarves on the opposite side were indeed real. Not only were they strong, but they also had quite strong physical strength.

It's completely a posture of either you retreat, or continue fighting and fight to the end.

Faced with such a situation, Gawain rubbed his chin and thought for a while.

On their side, except for the wild boar infantry, the other orc arms have no night vision.

Then considering the physical exhaustion of the troops of the three tribes: humans, elves and goblins, Gawain finally decided to retreat temporarily.

On the other side, Kaladin Black Iron, who also retreated to the city, after confirming the casualty report during the day that night, quickly wrote an emergency report and sent it directly to the main city of the dwarf civilization.

At the same time, a notice was posted directly in the Horn City, beginning to recruit adult male dwarves who had served in the city to join the army.

And let all the dwarf blacksmiths in the city start forging weapons and armor overnight.

Obviously, the method of "military service" was not used by Luo Ji alone.

In the current situation, for Kaladin Dark Iron, if he wants to defend the Horn City, he can only use his strength.

But the troops in the city alone are not enough, so he can only recruit reserve soldiers!
