Chapter 222 Elite
"It's a dragon!!!"
"Wait! Don't panic! This is not that elemental dragon, this is a gem dragon!"
The moment the dragon appeared, the Thorn Kingdom Legion had a brief panic, but someone soon discovered a different part of it.
The first person to awaken was the deputy commander of the legion, Marquis Venier, a young domain-level powerhouse.
Marquis Venier is a loyal Iron Blood Duke, a full hawk, belonging to Grand Duke Sparrow, and the two are said to have a master-apprentice relationship.
Originally, he had already targeted Noel, the biggest traitor in history in the Thorn Kingdom, but when he saw a fool appearing on the head of a realm-level powerful man riding a gem dragon, he immediately gave up his original plan and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"
Buzz!
The shield war, standing in the front, instantly changed its formation, giving up the heavy crossbow arrows behind the body, and ten crossbow arrows shot out from above.
The 2-meter-long steel arrow cut through the air with the whistling sound of breaking through the air. After all, the adult gem dragon is a terrifying creature that barely surpasses the platinum level, and there is an old guy who has worked with him for decades.
The veteran driver added 86 and could definitely play the super high operation of Akime Mountain drifting. As expected, after he rode the Gem Dragon, the confident Iron Duke almost easily avoided the dense and heavy rain of arrows. However, although these dense rain of arrows did not hit the dragon, after landing, the impact force fell on the city wall at that moment, pierced the dozen orgasms guarding the city, and along with their undead bodies, they sprinkled blood in the air and flew over a hundred meters.
The lethality of 10 heavy crossbows is actually nothing, and you can hurt one or two hundred people if you hold on to death.
However, the gap and bloodline created by the ten steel arrows in the army would undoubtedly cause great psychological oppression to the defender.
This kind of war weapon is particularly important for suppressing the momentum of enemy troops.
If you ignore the heavy crossbow arrows, thousands of arrows shot out from the sky, even at the higher level of the platinum level, it is also very troublesome. After all, even if it is a platinum level, facing such arrows that are more than two meters long and drive extremely terrifying power, the defense of the platinum level Dou Qi shield is very lingering...
Except for a few exceptions among the platinum tiers.
For example, there was no advanced field-level warhammer at the beginning, and the current old cow could block it without any damage, other platinums need to use some means to avoid it.
A giant arrow shot over a lot of people in an instant, and even the battlements of the city wall were shot away several times, which caused huge losses to the defender.
"The loss is too great."
At this time, William, who was also standing at a corner of the city wall carefully observed the occupied area, frowned at this time, and felt a rare headache.
"Aren't there a batch of heavy shields left over from the original Iron and Steel Principality in the city before? Let each team of people block the front with a shield."
Originally, the combat method of the Flame Kingdom was almost rushing forward in a swarm. There was no way the kingdom needed to be built, and the military reform could not come up with a charter. In addition, except for humans and a few smarter races, it was difficult for other races to get used to the precise training methods of the human army, so that they could plan the functions of each army in different categories, which took a relatively long time to train.
Just like the current various human countries in the mainland are strictly divided into heavy shields, swordsmen, knights, rangers, and other military categories. Of course, knights are still mainstream in the mainland.
But this time, the Thorn Kingdom was very clear that their purpose was to attack the city, so the scale brought by the knights this time was not too large, but not too small. After all, the Thorn Kingdom as a whole has many knights.
The Fire Kingdom lacks such necessary positions, such as the heavy shield, which is to resist the front and welcome the enemy's crazy output again and again. Until the moment the enemy cannot stand, they will win.
Swordsmen are the key killers who quickly kill enemies who break through the formation, and even them can replace the dead shield war, raise their shields, and keep the defensive formation from being broken.
Of course, swordsmen often carry what kind of enemies they face.
If there are cavalry on the opposite side, their main weapon will be replaced with a spear and the secondary weapon will be a war knife.
The ranger is responsible for shooting in the last platoon, and when he shoots without arrows, or the commander of the legion orders not to shoot, they will shoot freely, or come forward with weapons to help their comrades.
The heavy shield is in front, the swordsman is in the middle, and the ranger is the last. This is the conventional combat troops in siege battles.
As long as the legion commander is in good condition, even a basic legion of about 3,000 people can show great combat power.
The elite legion of the same Thorn Kingdom is naturally no problem.
Their formation was extremely compact, forming a hard turtle shell formation outside the city, and five thousand heavy shields and eight thousand swordsmen formed a three-layer defensive formation. They slowly advanced under the command of old fried dough sticks with rich war experience in the Thorn Kingdom, slowly eroding the main steel city.
There is nothing else but there are many soldiers!
For a moment.
The blood stained the rocks and melted the ice and snow.
The Dou Qi scraped out gullies on the surface of the ground, shining in the air!
This battle has reached a fever pitch in a short period of time.
William didn't know what was going on elsewhere.
But when he stood on the city tower, he felt the tremor. The screams composed of countless people were like a dragon roaring, as if a giant creature was about to rise into the sky, but he fell heavily to the ground.
He couldn't help but take a breath. Is the elite legion of the Thorn Kingdom so powerful?
The heavy shield warrior and swordsmanship of the advancement were unswervingly moving forward, while the archers behind were suppressing them at a long range.
William knew that the other party's combat method was completely correct. After this comparison, William found that the two armies of his elite, dragon claws, dragon teeth, seemed to be like mobs, and the recent training was only to let them divide their general functions.
Of course, this cannot be said to have no power to fight. It can be said that if you encounter the elite force in front of you in the wild, then the exchange ratio of the Flame Kingdom is two to one.
Of course, if it is an encounter in the wild, such as a confrontation of about a few thousand to about 10,000 or 20,000 people, orcs and wolf cavalry can be exchanged for five or even seven with human cavalry. This can be said to be very terrible. If you encounter only the army under the command of the grand dukes of the principality, this proportion will be expanded.
However, if it is an elite at the imperial level, the proportion will be reduced rapidly, and it may not be possible to be even one to two. Of course, this does not consider the special cavalry mastered by the Kingdom Empire, such as the Battle Beast Legion of the Thorn Kingdom. This can also narrow the gap with the Orc Wolf Cavalry.
But after all, this kind of war beast legion is not like the orc wolf cavalry. Each single unit is very powerful, so it would be nice to barely achieve three to one.
At this moment, William's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw a group of giant bears and wolves wearing heavy armor straddled with simple armor, and suddenly rushed out of the army of the Thorn Kingdom with heavy and rapid steps.
"Warcraft Mount?!" William narrowed his eyes.
A group of Warcraft Knights with an extremely powerful number of about two thousand waving heavy and huge knight guns, directly lifting the fast-advanced taurens in front of them into the air, smashing them heavily into the crowd.
With the rapid advancement of these monster knights, the city wall also trembled violently. William was shocked and thought that if he did not stop it, he would be afraid that with the thickness of the steel main city wall, it would be difficult to withstand such exaggerated impact. The knights and this kind of monster charge, the knight's fighting spirit and the power of the monster, it is really hard to say whether the city wall can be blocked. At least the platinum Aston cannot stop it.
William began to order the archers to suppress them.
But these injuries are not enough.
With a loud bang, a large gap had been cut through the city wall. Although there was a piece of bloody wreckage under the city wall, the still-in-comfortable momentum made William feel alert. William yelled hideously: "Clog the gap for me!"
But it was too late, and the gap continued to grow bigger and soon evolved into a collapse of a city wall. Then the Warcraft Knights quickly occupied the gap like locusts passing through the border.
William clenched his fists and waved his hand suddenly!
Hundreds of armored orc knights wearing heavy armor and riding giant wolf were standing quietly in the city. These were the sharp swords that William originally planned to attack from the city. Each of them was silver strength. At a specific time, they could instantly rush into the enemy's hinterland, causing great psychological pressure to the enemy. But now it seems to be used here.
The hula-la-knights rushed into the city, thinking that they were only facing a massacre. However, when they saw that almost every inch of the body of each strong figure more than twice as tall as an ordinary person was wrapped in steel, except that there was an area near the head where the eyes could be opened.
It can be said that in front of me was a hundred monsters wrapped in steel. Not only them, but even the mount under their crotch, the shadow wolf, which was comparable to the intermediate monster, was also covered with heavy armor. Except for the necessary joints, almost every part was shrouded in steel.
This is a killing machine.
Indeed, for this vanguard, William almost exhausted the steel reserves of the Iron Principality for several years and armed them all on only a hundred people.
Of course, the combat power is absolutely great. Even the elite of the world's armor covers only about 60%, which is far less than the current army. The armor coverage rate reaches an astonishing 99%! In addition to eyes, the whole body is almost wrapped in armor, and it is also a metal plate that is several centimeters thick.
Each set of such armor has about two or three hundred kilograms. It is very difficult for humans to have silver ranks in such armor.
Not to mention carrying this armor to rush to attack, and fighting with people to consume fighting spirit, this is simply an impossible task.
Such armor can only be worn as light as nothing for humans, and there is no problem with the armor being placed on orcs.
