When the Fengleibao defense line was being built, the placement of artillery and trebuchets was taken into consideration, so the design was different from other city walls.
The first city wall is particularly wide, with the top being more than 20 meters.
Secondly, there are many shooting holes inside the city wall, which are not large in area and are only used for one cannon to shrink and lift.
And after climbing the city wall, you will find that there is a small layer above, and the artillery and trebuchets are on that layer.
In other words, after the Li army rushed to the city wall, they still could not stop the firing of artillery and trebuchets. They had to kill all the rock bandits on the outermost layer before they could rush to the fort on the second level.
But killing the Rock Bandits...
At Tianlang Pass, the 20,000 rock bandit army directly killed nearly three times the number of enemies!
The first wave of Lili soldiers who rushed up the city wall numbered approximately several thousand!
Just after rushing up the city wall, they discovered these dark rock bandit warriors!
Very average, not too tall, and relatively thin. The most important thing is that he doesn't wear much armor, and he only carries two scimitars.
Moreover, after seeing the Zili army climbing up the city wall, these rock bandit warriors felt as if they were seeing their relatives, their eyes were extremely warm, and strange smiles appeared on their faces.
The soldier from Zhili thought to himself: "I will fight three of these opponents, whether they are tall or not, whether they are wearing armor or not!"
Immediately afterwards...
"Whoosh!" I just felt a black shadow flash before my eyes, and then my body went cold, and I didn't know anything anymore, because my neck was cut open directly.
These rock bandit warriors are like yakshas. Although their bodies are thin, their muscles are as if they are made of steel. Their whole bodies are full of huge power, and their toes are incomparable for key movements.
Moreover, during the battle, four people worked together in a group, and the cover and fight were all done almost instinctively.
They didn't have armor on them because they didn't wear it. Sauron spent a huge amount of money to buy armor for everyone. As a result, when the battle came, they took off their clothes on the ground and came up to fight with their shirts off.
The craziness of the Rock Thieves Legion would overwhelm someone even if they were one against two, let alone two against one.
Amidst their weird screaming sounds, the soldiers who rushed up basically killed one by one.
Fengleibao defense line is completely different from Tianlang Pass. Tianlang Pass has a narrow city wall and the space on the city wall is also very tight. Moreover, the artillery is placed directly at the forefront of the city wall. Therefore, a large part of the soldiers on the city wall are manipulating artillery.
, lack of soldiers capable of true hand-to-hand combat.
Therefore, when Jian Ze's army attacked the city wall, they immediately came into close combat with the soldiers operating the artillery, causing all the artillery to instantly misfire. The soldiers operating the artillery had degraded in hand-to-hand combat due to long-term training in artillery fire. In addition, the Tianlang Pass
The city wall was too narrow to accommodate many troops, so it was directly breached.
The walls of Fenglei Castle's defense line are newly designed, so they are completely different.
The city wall is long and wide, and the top of the city wall is divided into two levels.
The front floor is six meters wide and is guarded by ten thousand rock bandit warriors. The back floor is three and a half meters high and fully fifteen meters wide, where forts and trebuchets are placed.
The most critical thing is that there are no steps connecting the upper and lower floors. If you want to go to the upper floor to destroy the fort, you must pass through the castle, and there are countless soldiers guarding the castle.
The city wall is more than ten meters high, and the castle is nearly thirty meters high.
On top of the castle, countless archers are placed, who can freely shoot any enemy who tries to rush to the fort on the upper level.
Therefore, in terms of design advancement, the new Fenleibao defense line far surpasses the old Tianlang Pass.
…
At this time, the entire battlefield fell into a very strange rhythm.
All of Sauron's firepower is always on full blast, and all of his fighting machines are operating at full strength!
Every six minutes, hundreds of artillery shells fired a round, hitting the Lili army 800 meters away. Because the army was stuck outside the obstacles, it was too dense, and each round of shelling resulted in thousands of casualties.
Bombardment is the first layer of filtering, filtering out thousands of people each time.
Immediately afterwards, they entered a 650-meter-high boulder obstacle group, which slowed down the Li Li army. More than a hundred giant trebuchets ejected hundreds of kilograms of primitive cluster bombs every six or seven minutes.
Each time, hundreds of thousands of projectiles were fired like a metal storm, killing thousands of people.
This is the second layer of filtering.
After two filterings, the Li army rushed into the huge stone obstacles and reached a distance of 150 meters under the city wall.
Here, Sauron's hundreds of Scorpion trebuchets project hundreds of primitive cluster bombs every two to three minutes.
Although each gunpowder ball weighs less than a hundred kilograms, there are many of them, hundreds at a time, and they are thrown once every two or three minutes.
In such a narrow environment, hundreds of thousands of projectiles are shot out every time an explosion occurs, easily causing thousands of casualties.
This is the third layer of filtering.
When we rushed under the city wall, barrels of kerosene rolled out from the holes in the city wall and splashed on the ground under the city wall. The fire under the city wall never went out.
The Lili army tried their best to put out the fire with mud and fire-extinguishing powder.
However, the barrels of fire oil inside the city wall were constantly being smashed down from a distance, which meant that the fire had just been extinguished, or it was starting to burn again before it was extinguished.
Therefore, in this sea of fire, more than one-third of the soldiers must be filtered out, and all of them will be burned to death or burned.
This is the fourth layer of filtering!
After these four layers of filtering, the number of troops that rush up to the city wall every quarter of an hour is only a few thousand!
However, they have to face tens of thousands of rock bandits!
The rock thief faced twice as many enemies as himself and had to bully others, let alone half of his enemies!
Therefore, the Li army will die as many as they send!
Just half an hour after the hand-to-hand combat began, corpses were already piling up like mountains on and under the city wall.
There are really countless casualties!
…
As a last resort, Li Li and Turing Tuo mounted their griffons and flew into the air, overlooking the entire battlefield!
Ji Li was already cold all over, while Turing Tuo's heart was bleeding.
Most of the dead were his troops, the 300,000-strong Dragon Guard Corps. Including the previous battle losses, there were at least 100,000 casualties.
Moreover, this number is still increasing rapidly. On today's battlefield, less than two hours after the war started, the casualties must have exceeded 100,000.
Originally, according to the plan, they attacked the Fenglei Castle defense line with all their might like the Tianlang Pass battlefield. With at most two rounds of artillery bombardment and two rounds of trebuchet bombardment, with a maximum loss of tens of thousands, they rushed to the city wall, and then Sauron's artillery and trebuchets
It all went off.
In this way, the casualties on the Zili army's side were stopped, and they directly entered hand-to-hand combat.
But I didn't expect that the huge stone obstacle of more than 600 meters would divide the battlefield into three parts.
After four layers of filtering, the number of soldiers rushing to the city wall each time was more than half the original plan.
Moreover, because of these boulder obstacles, the giant siege vehicles could not pass, and even the siege ladder erected on the wall of Fenglei Castle was less than half of the original plan.
Because gunpowder and artillery are new weapons, they are completely different from the previous cold weapon wars.
Therefore, although Turing Tuo is a veteran general, this battlefield is unfamiliar to him.
He didn't pay much attention to these huge stone obstacles at first, but he didn't expect that they would play such a big role. Although they could not stop the passage of the army, they could delay the passage of the army and buy Sauron precious time.
Once Sauron is given time to cross a certain dividing line, Sauron's artillery, trebuchets, and rock bandits will enter a virtuous cycle that can continue to operate without any link misfiring.
Turing Tuo keenly felt that as long as the number of soldiers on the city wall doubled, the situation on the entire battlefield would change dramatically. He could break through the defense line of the ten thousand rock bandits, rush to the upper fort, and let all the artillery fire
And the trebuchet misfired.
And once Sauron's artillery and trebuchets misfire, the casualties of the Lili army will be reduced by more than 60 to 70%. By then, more soldiers will rush to the city wall, and Sauron will undoubtedly die!
At this time, Turingtuo really felt that the world had changed and so had the war.
It becomes like a complete machine, with every link interconnected. As long as one link is destroyed, Sauron's entire war machine will be paralyzed!
"Your Highness, how many dragon warriors have you brought?" Turing Tuo asked.
"Fifty." He said. In fact, it was far more than that, but that was all he could say.
Turing Tuo shrank his eyes, this time all the elite warriors of the Turing family came out, plus the trusted warriors of the Dragon Guard Army, and thirty thousand captains, there were nearly a hundred dragon warriors.
"I also brought fifty." Turing Tuo said.
At the critical moment, both of them had a hand in hand.
Turing Tuo said: "Sauron's war machine is divided into four links, artillery, trebuchets, kerosene barrels, and the rock bandit army on the city wall! The rock obstacles on the battlefield delayed and filtered our army, making the four
Every link can coordinate perfectly, and the entire war machine can run smoothly."
Li Li nodded, he saw this very clearly.
Turing Tuo said: "As long as one of these four links is defeated, Sauron's war machine will collapse. And this link is the rock bandit army on the outermost layer of the city wall. You and I have a hundred dragon warriors together, which is enough to break through."
These rock pirates are going to destroy Sauron's artillery and trebuchets. Once Sauron's artillery and trebuchets misfire, our casualties will be greatly reduced, and the number of soldiers on the city wall will triple or quadruple.
Lun will definitely lose."
Li Li's face twitched. Dragon warriors rely on dragon power, and dragon power will be exhausted. Let a hundred dragon warriors destroy Sauron's trebuchets and cannons, and there will definitely be no return.
In wars, dragon warriors are rarely allowed to go to the battlefield to kill enemies, because once a dragon warrior falls into the battlefield, his dragon power will soon be exhausted, and he will definitely be cut into pieces.
But there is nothing we can do now.
Although the dragon warrior is very precious, if he loses this battle, he will have no future.
"Okay!" Li Li gritted his teeth and said, "We will use a hundred dragon warriors to destroy Sauron's artillery and trebuchet positions!"
Originally, Li Li could use his own trebuchet to throw fish oil bombs at the Fenlei Fort defense line. Although the hit rate was low, it could prevent some of Sauron's artillery and most of the trebuchets from firing, so his casualties would not be so huge.
However, the hateful Sauron began to place huge stone obstacles eight hundred meters away from the battlefield, rendering his trebuchet useless.
Because the trebuchet can only hit less than 500 meters at most.
…
Soon, Turing Tuo, Li Li, Fue and others gathered one hundred and twenty dragon warriors, using these most elite warriors as cannon fodder to destroy Sauron's artillery and trebuchet positions!
"Warriors, the Kingdom of Raging Waves will always remember you. Your family, your parents, wives and daughters will enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth!" Li Li burst into tears as he drank strong wine with one hundred and twenty dragon warriors.
, and then send them to die!
The one hundred and twenty warriors also burst into tears. After drinking the wine, they slammed their bowls.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty the Duke, let's go!"
Then, these one hundred and twenty dragon warriors turned into lightning-like black shadows and rushed towards the defense line of Fenglei Castle.
I prayed in my heart: "I must succeed, I must succeed, otherwise I will really be desperate!"
At this time, the situation was very clear. As long as Sauron's artillery and trebuchet positions were destroyed and these two war machines were silenced, the war would be won by Lili.
Otherwise, he will definitely lose, because the battlefield has completely entered Sauron's rhythm.
…
At the highest point of the castle, Princess Yanyan suddenly opened her eyes.
She clearly felt that there was a dense energy aura that was rushing towards the Fenlei Castle defense line.
"Husband, here comes Ji Li's trump card." Princess Ji Yan said.
Zengli used a large number of dragon warriors to destroy Sauron's artillery and trebuchet positions. This was what he was most worried about, and now it finally happened.
"How many are here?" Sauron also felt it, but his spiritual cultivation was too far behind Naoyan, so he couldn't feel the specific number.
"About, about one hundred and twenty." Princess Yan Yan said, as long as they are within a few hundred meters of her mental radius, she can clearly sense them.
"One hundred and twenty!" Sauron said: "Total together, Ji Li, Turing Tuo, and the nineteen princes can produce at least two hundred and fifty dragon warriors, but only one hundred and twenty were sent.
indivual?"
"Yes!" Si Yan smiled and said: "There are also the other half of the dragon warriors, probably to protect them from escaping."
Sauron breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Li and Turing Tuo made a desperate move and sent all 250 dragon warriors, Sauron would probably have no choice but to watch the artillery and trebuchet positions being destroyed.
But now, there are one hundred and twenty.
That can be fought!
"Everyone, are you ready?" Sauron asked.
"Ready." Behind him, dozens of people shouted in unison.
Sauron also gathered all the dragon warriors, and even many captains of the army left their posts.
Even if they spent all their money, including the warriors from the Shadow Pavilion and the dragon warriors from the Shanghai family, they could only gather fifty-five!
Fifty-five dragon warriors fought against the 120 dragon warriors of Ji Li and Turing Tuo.
Not only must we win, we must also ensure that the artillery and trebuchet positions are not destroyed.
"Daughter-in-law, it's up to you." Suolun said to Xi Yan.
Princess Yan Yan said playfully: "Don't worry, I will fight twenty of them each!"
