Chapter 340, Orc Siege
The switch of arms undoubtedly played a role. Although the archer unit did not have the specialization skills of Zhao Pan, his talent of "immovable as a mountain" was indiscriminately blessed on all the soldiers under his command, plus Luo Pan.
The edited 'War to Protect the Country' BUFF also takes effect at this moment. With the blessing of the double BUFF, the combat effectiveness of the archer unit cannot be underestimated.
After realizing the threat, the other three elephant slingers decisively raised their huge elephant trunks and began to sweep away these attacks, which invisibly slowed down the entire attack rhythm, creating a barrier for the people on the Iron Wall City.
The defenders got a chance to catch their breath.
Li Yuanjie, who saw this scene from behind, thought about it for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Tell the Elephant Man who was caught in the fire to retreat temporarily, and the large troops began to advance to share the firepower with the Elephant Man!"
Originally, he wanted to rely on the destructive power of the four Elephant Man Slingers to withstand the attack and smash the opposite city wall, and then let the large army advance up and capture the city in one go. However, Luo Ji did not expect that Luo Ji was so unexpected.
A little trick.
According to the original plan, it is no longer possible. The Elephants are very rare in number and reproduce slowly. Humans conceive in ten months, but when the Elephants give birth to offspring, it takes two years just to get pregnant, and they only give birth to one child at a time.
After giving birth, she will not be able to conceive another child within four or five years. In other words, these four elephant-man slingers are precious and rare soldiers to Li Yuanjie. If one of them is killed, it will definitely be so painful that it can't breathe.
.
As the horn sounded to mobilize troops, a group of tauren infantry with two horns and big waists immediately began to push the siege vehicles and rushed towards the gate of the Iron Wall City on the opposite side.
Of course, Zhao Pan recognized cattle as livestock. In today's world civilization, many farmers use cattle to plow the fields. However, when he remembered these farming cattle, they suddenly wore simple leather armor.
When he picked up the long-handled battle ax and charged towards his city wall with two legs or two hooves, whoever it was would have been confused for a moment.
There was no time to think about it. The moment his eyes swept across the battlefield, Zhao Pan quickly made a judgment. Judging from the rough skin and thick flesh of the tauren infantry, these targets were obviously within the scope of the archers' business.
Just in time, the Elephant Man slinger that had been focused on by the four three-bow bed crossbows retreated. Zhao Pan directly signaled the four three-bow bed crossbows to turn fire on the next Elephant Man slinger. At the same time, he mobilized some archers to let them
Use arrow rain to suppress the enemy's advancing troops.
As for the slingers who have temporarily retreated to the rear, Zhao Pan doesn't have the spare capacity to leave them idle. Even if the effect is not ideal, they have to be sent to me. There are not enough manpower. I should have known that there would be so many thick-skinned people in this wave.
Guys, we should have applied for two more archer troops from the very beginning.
Zhao Pan, who was commanding the city defense battle on the city wall at this time, was in a somewhat complicated mood. Although under Luo Ji's education, he had already established the concept of troop restraint, the slingers he was most familiar with were here.
He was defeated at the very beginning of the battle, and it was inevitable that he felt a little uncomfortable.
A round of arrows and a round of stone bullets allow the two long-range units to attack alternately. This is an inherent routine that allows them to maintain their physical strength and condition to achieve long-term combat.
However, even so, the situation is not optimistic. Through the monocular, Zhao Pan clearly saw that these minotaurs were simply tenacious and scary. One of them had five or six arrows stuck in his body and was hit by a stone bullet.
His head was bruised and bleeding, but he was still charging forward with his long-handled battle axe.
Fortunately, there are not many tauren infantry like this. Zhao Pan can only estimate at a glance that there are only about three hundred. Otherwise, even he would have no idea.
Of course, these three hundred tauren infantry are just the vanguard of the enemy army, and there are a large number of other troops following behind. However, without exception, in Zhao Pan's eyes, these enemies are all weird monsters.
If Luo Ji were standing here at this moment, based on his experience in playing various war strategy games, he would definitely be able to identify the orc units on the opposite side at a glance. The ones following the tauren should be kobolds.
Compared with the burly tauren, the kobolds are obviously much shorter, and they basically don't wear any armor. They just hold a spear in their hands. Obviously, Li Yuanjie doesn't seem to care much about the life and death of the kobolds.
Considering that the number of troops far exceeds that of tauren, the answer is readily available, that is, there are many kobolds, and this unit is worthless in Li Yuanjie's eyes.
In comparison, the werewolf troops guarding the bronze chariot obviously exuded the aura of 'sons', holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. The most important thing was that each of them was wearing a decent uniform.
The leather armor equipment can be said to be well-equipped, and the difference can be said to be reflected immediately.
But think about it, looking at Li Yuanjie's behavior, he seems to have turned into a werewolf. There seems to be nothing wrong with showing some favoritism to his brothers.
On the wall of Iron Wall City, Zhao Pan frowned deeply. Although the attacks of the slingers and archers in turn slowed down the opponent's advancement, they did not achieve a clear suppression effect. In other words, the opponent's attack
It is only a matter of time before the city's troops push under the city wall. If this momentum continues, Iron Wall City will not be able to defend it. He must make new arrangements, or find a new breakthrough!
While thoughts were racing in his mind, Zhao Pan made up his mind and directly called his other lieutenant, "Zhang Lue, go and do something for me..."
After listening to Zhao Pan's explanation, Zhang Lue's expression changed, and then he quickly retreated with a heavy face. About ten minutes later, the archer troops on the walls of Iron Wall City suddenly began to fire with all their strength, one after another.
The rain kept falling on the Elephant slingers and infantry units outside the city.
"Is the other side starting to panic?" After all, his orc army was almost pushing out of the city gate. In Li Yuanjie's view, it was natural for the other side to panic.
However, as this idea arose, there was a new movement on the wall of the Iron Wall City opposite. Seeing the moment when the orc army pushed to his city, Zhao Pan waved his hand, "Let me go!!"
After hearing the order, the soldiers immediately pushed down the barrels that had been placed on the wall one after another...
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Many of the Minotaur infantry who rushed forward were stunned by the large barrels falling from the sky. After the large barrels shattered, a large amount of transparent liquid suddenly splashed out.
Several tauren infantry were splashed on the spot, and then without even waiting for their reaction, Zhao Pan, who was on the city wall, said in a cold voice, "Light the fire!"
