Originally, there were only fire demons and freeze demons in the White Tower Kingdom. The appearance of sand demons and rock demons caught the people of the White Tower by surprise. Fortunately, after a year of training, their soldiers had experience fighting against various evil demons.
After losing Blue Silk City, the White Tower people gradually stabilized their position.
The key to this war is whether the artillery can advance within a thousand feet of the city wall. According to past combat experience, before approaching the city wall, the fire demon will attack first, followed by the rock demon. Once the battle reaches a stalemate,
, a large number of sand demons will come to the front of the battle, making the outcome of the battle no longer suspenseful.
Fighting the Sand Demon's hard steel is asking for a dead end. No matter how good the soldiers and sophisticated weapons are, they cannot withstand the consumption of the Sand Demon.
But today's situation is a bit special. The demon army did not stop the Alliance Army in advance. They set up a formation under the city and quietly waited for the Alliance Army to approach.
When they reached a place 1,500 feet away from the city wall, the demon's military formation waved the battle flag. This was a warning from the demon. If you want to continue to approach the city wall, you must win the battle first.
"It seems that the devil gets along very well with you," Alfred joked, "Are you always so aboveboard in fighting?"
Mathias sneered: "How can I have such good luck? It must be the evil devil who wants to give Emperor Suixue some face."
"I don't have such a big face. The demon will attack me when he sees me. He has never said hello. Since the enemy is showing off today, we will serve him well!" Reggie asked the artillery to prepare for the attack. The artillery pushed the artillery to the front of the formation, and the infantry followed closely.
Afterwards, the cavalry formed two wings.
The tactics are very simple. Attack with artillery first, wait for the enemy to charge, then have the infantry to resist from the front, and the cavalry to support on both wings.
After the artillery completed loading and aiming, the enemy had just launched a charge. Reggie immediately ordered the artillery fire, and twenty artillery fired a salvo, instantly defeating the strongest rock demon warriors.
But the only mission of the Rock Demon Warriors was to buy time. When they dispersed and charged again, a team that was faster than the Rock Demon Warriors rushed up from behind.
In Reggie's impression, all demons are not good at speed. Rock demons are the fastest demons, and their speed is slightly slower than ordinary people.
Now the demons rushing in front of the rock demons are much faster than ordinary people, even comparable to the speed of cavalry. Reggie felt that their figures looked familiar, and suddenly heard Iron Skull shout: "It's the sand demons!"
Yes, it is indeed a sand demon, but this does not fit with Reggie's understanding of sand demons.
In the previous battles, the Sand Demons' greatest weaknesses were their slowness and fragility. Compared to their slowness, even their fragility was not worth mentioning.
But today's sand devil rushed over like a leopard in the face of the artillery fire. At the same time, Matthias gave the order to the infantry to attack.
The soldiers of the White Tower Country were not so lucky. They could not afford a musket per person. The soldiers who had muskets had at most twenty rounds of ammunition. Many soldiers also used bows and arrows and throwing spears.
But the combat quality of the White Tower Army has not changed. Their reactions are quick and their discipline is very good. One general shouted: "Xize is here, everyone, don't cherish your weapons, hit them hard!"
Caesar Reggie turned to Iron Skull and said, "Is he the commander who led the rock demons and mud demons in the Golden Eagle Kingdom?"
Tie Shou nodded and said, "That's him!"
"Has anyone seen him? What does he look like?"
Reggie looked around with a telescope, and Matthias whispered: "Emperor Suixue, it seems that you are not very familiar with Caesar. We have not seen his appearance, but are familiar with his fighting methods. Under his hands,
, the sand devil will become agile and smart.
From the information we inquired about, we learned that Caesar is the son of the Lord of the Sand Demon, and the Sand Demon is willing to fight for him. This is the original appearance of the Sand Demon, not those puppets controlled by Yalishan."
While talking, the people from the White Tower cooperated with the artillery and stubbornly resisted the attack of the sand demons. The sand demons were still as fragile as before. They could not block the muskets, nor the bows and arrows. One grenade could kill four or five.
Their only advantage was their astonishing numbers. According to Reggie's estimate, the number of sand demons rushing over was no less than ten thousand.
When the infantry reaches a stalemate, according to common sense in war, it is time for the cavalry on both wings to appear. The cavalry can attack both sides of the enemy's formation and directly destroy the opponent's formation.
Alfred gave the order to charge without hesitation. Just as the general was about to blow the horn, Matthias snatched him away.
"Leader, I have no intention of disobeying you. It is unwise to charge now!"
Alfred said angrily: "Are you teaching me to fight? Do you have such qualifications?"
Matthias said: "This place is too close to the city wall. We don't know the situation on the top of the city. The cavalry will be attacked on the top of the city during the charge!"
Alfred said: "There must be sacrifices in war, otherwise what is the point of bringing these cavalry?"
Matthias said: "I am very grateful for your generosity, but the cavalry cannot be sacrificed for the sand demons. There are too many of them and their lives are cheap."
"What else can you do?" Alfred said, "Your soldiers are almost out of bullets."
Mathias looked at Reggie and said: "There is a way, but the cost is a bit high."
While they were talking, a group of White Tower warriors came to the front of the formation wearing veils and carrying huge wooden barrels.
They loaded the barrels on the trebuchet and waited for the order to launch.
Mathias said: "This is the sap of the Jinge tree. It is highly poisonous. It can turn into poisonous mist after falling to the ground. It has a miraculous effect on sand demons. But the wind direction is not favorable today. We are in the headwind, and some of the poisonous mist will drift over."
, the two great emperors had better retreat three thousand feet to avoid being affected."
Alfred sneered: "Does this count as mocking me? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?"
"I'm afraid," Matthias said calmly, "but I have to be with the soldiers."
After saying that, Mathias put on a heavy veil. He was about to give the order to project when he suddenly heard Reggie say: "I have a better method. Although the smell is a bit stronger, at least it is not highly poisonous."
He had dozens of barrels of black oil brought in and atomizer added. The wind direction was indeed unfavorable today, but there were two wind demon girls beside Reggie.
The pungent oil mist rose in the air like a dark cloud, slowly drifting toward the enemy driven by the wind demon.
Watching the sand demon become sluggish, stiff, and then collapsed in pieces, Matthias's eyes showed a little admiration, while Alfred's expression was a little complicated.
"I'm really unwilling," Matthias sighed. "Compared to you, I seem to have been out of action for a long time."
Reggie shook his head and whispered to Alfred in a low voice: "I feel lucky that we have facilitated this alliance. If I were to face these sand demons alone today, I would probably suffer a big loss."
