"Alas, the rapid infantry is indeed too brittle, and the professional army will break into pieces as soon as it is pressed against them!" Kaslo said helplessly, shaking his head.
"Who asked you to use the rapid infantry to fight against the professional army?" Roland said with a dark look on his face. After all, apart from the damage bonus to the cavalry, the panel of the rapid infantry is almost the same as other ordinary infantry, not to mention the rapid infantry. It is a unit between light infantry and heavy infantry, and its defensive power is not as good as other ordinary heavy infantry.
"Yes, the frontal battlefield is a matter for the city defense army and other professionals." Kaslo nodded.
"But they are needed in the rear to maintain public security and defend the city. It is difficult for those professional soldiers to spread throughout the kingdom." Roland held his head and said.
"Besides, do you think we have the ability to train those professionals now?" Roland grinned and said helplessly. Not to mention professionals, even ordinary rapid infantry can't recruit many. After all, the recruitment of ordinary soldiers is It needs to consume Roland's precious population.
"Indeed, although our current military strength is tight, it is still barely enough!" Yun Feng nodded. For the current Laglang Kingdom, having more soldiers is of no great use, so he shifted his attention to development. Roland hopes to use a large number of people to develop the economy instead of playing an arms race with the orcs.
"It's useless to discuss this now. I guess there won't be a fight for a while. It will take some time for the dwarves and the orcs to decide the winner." Roland stretched out his hand and pressed down.
"By the way, there is no movement from the Ringwraiths?" Roland suddenly thought of the Ringwraiths in Dol Guldur and Gambada Fortress.
"No, Ajax and I patrol the outskirts of the Dol Guldur and Gambada fortresses every day. The Ringwraiths are huddled in the fortresses and do not move." Kaslow affirmed. To be honest, Thorin has to thank Roland, although Roland did not send a single soldier, but the powerful dragonriders under Roland successfully contained and frightened the Nazgul in the two fortresses. Otherwise, when the army led by the Nazgul appeared in Moria, Solin and the others were It's really over.
"Always pay attention to the movements of the Ringwraiths. Although they are not willing to walk too much in Middle-earth to disrupt Sauron's return plan, we do not rule out their taking risks!" Roland ordered. Of course, he understood why the current Ringwraiths are so restrained. , they are not even willing to be exposed to the sun unless they have to, because they are afraid that the White Council will notice Sauron's existence.
In fact, even if the Nazgul are arrogant at this time, there is nothing to be afraid of. After all, according to time, Saruman, the leader of the White Council, has already begun to play Infernal Affairs, and the alliance is almost not penetrated into a sieve. Fortunately, the Nazgul are cautious. , otherwise Roland really doesn’t know how to intercept these Nazgul to bloodbath the dwarves...
…
"Let go!" Thorin commanded the dwarf army to "bathe" the orcs outside the cave. A large number of artifacts - tetanus arrows fell down on their faces. The orcs were complaining incessantly. It would be very uncomfortable to attack from above, but the target of the attack was the defender. The dwarves made it even more uncomfortable for them. When the dwarves rained down arrows, the orcs felt even more uncomfortable (literally).
"The armor-piercing effect is so bad!" Thorin frowned so hard that he could kill a fly. When the orcs cut down trees to make shields, these rusty arrows could not even kill the orcs, let alone the wooden boards. Can't even shoot through.
"We need a more powerful heavy crossbow!" Balin, who had not yet recovered, and a group of people dragged the heavy crossbow to Thorin's side.
"Why is this crossbow arrow also rusty?" Thorin asked in confusion as he looked at the spear-like crossbow arrows carried on the backs of other dwarves.
"Don't worry! At least it won't be a problem to shoot through the opposite side!" Balin smiled. After all, weapons made of steel and bronze cannot compare with the longevity of alchemical magic weapons such as black arrows, although these arrows can no longer achieve the power they were originally designed for.
, but as an anti-orc light infantry weapon, it is more than enough.
"I hope so!" Thorin didn't waste any words and quickly helped others assemble the heavy crossbow. When a crisp "click" sound was heard, all the dozen heavy crossbows were assembled.
"Load!" Thorin said nothing. He grabbed a bundle of arrows and came to the heavy crossbow. Naturally, someone helped Thorin load the arrows and pull the string. Thorin aimed at the valuable target with his eyes. Soon, a group of people tied up with wooden planks.
When he discovered the orcs forming a turtle formation, Thorin couldn't help but sneer. The low-level officer commanding a small group of orcs opposite was pretty good. He actually knew such high-end things as battle formations, although it was of no use...
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Thorin's mouth, and then he pulled the trigger. The roaring crossbow arrows directly tore into pieces the thick wooden board. Then the fragments of the broken arrows twisted and bounced in the crowd of orcs. Almost instantly, several orcs fell.
Then the surviving orcs started wailing while covering their wounds.
"So powerful?" Thorin was stunned. The rusted bronze arrow was directly broken into pieces under the huge impact, and then scattered in the crowd of orcs... It can be called an alien version of armor-breaking bullets.
If Roland saw it, Roland's eyes would probably pop out. After all, in the magic world view, Roland directly gave up the igniter technology tree. As a result, he never expected that the dwarf would accidentally hit it and hit it with an effect comparable to a cannonball... No wonder other people
Many dwarves in other worlds own firearms.
However, Roland is destined to be unable to see it now, but Thorin has discovered a new toy now. He carries those rusty bronze arrows to specifically attack the target of the orc group, which is extremely effective!
"Elite orc heavily armored warrior!" A dwarf suddenly screamed strangely.
"Throne Guards to meet the enemy!" Thorin narrowed his eyes, and he saw the war energy on the blades of those Orcs! Obviously these iron cans like the dwarves are the real elite Orcs!
Sure enough, this army showed great resilience under the attack of heavy crossbows. Ordinary crossbow arrows were chopped off by them with their swords and war aura blades. Even if a fish slipped through the net occasionally, they would be killed by their iron armor covered with war aura flames.
Blocked, the heavy crossbow used to kill miscellaneous fish finally encountered a hard nut to crack.
"Use good arrows! Balin and your crossbowmen stay here!" Thorin pulled out Orcrest without any explanation and rushed out.
"Turin..." Balin looked at the impatient Thorin and shook his head, then ordered all the crossbowmen to replace them with brand-new crossbow arrows.
…
"Boom!" A happy smile appeared on Thorin's lips when he looked at the Orc heavy-armored warrior who was suddenly nailed to the ground with a roar.
"Kill!" Thorin took the lead, and the purple-gold war energy flames suddenly clung to his body.
"Tear!" The electric current tore the air around him. The dwarf king and his bodyguards suppressed the orcs' heavily armored warriors head-on. The two sides fought fiercely in the open ground in front of Moria!
