"Order the artillery to aim at the small phalanxes of the orcs and shoot them down with solid bullets!" Dailin issued an order to the human soldiers.
At the same time, Alleria also issued orders to the elf mages. As soon as the orcs entered the range of the spell attack, the elf mages would immediately release the blowing spell to disperse their fog of war. The fog of war must not be allowed to cover the elf rangers and elves again.
Arcane attack magician's attack range.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cannons rumbled, and the human gunners also fought back frantically.
The Orcs' catapults are not very accurate, and the accuracy of the human front-loaded artillery is also not very good. The Orcs' iron shield phalanx is composed of small teams. The target is too small and they are also very cunning.
After the human gunners, they no longer walked in a straight line but in a zigzag pattern, making it difficult for the human gunners to lock on to the target.
The sound of human front-loaded artillery is indeed scary, but there are actually only three types of attack ammunition.
One is shotgun, also called grapeshot, which is a bag of iron beads. It is shot out and scattered into pieces but the range is not far, that is, it is slightly farther than the range of a bow and arrow. It is mainly used to deal with large groups of charging enemies. But this kind of shotgun
At medium and long distances, although it can still penetrate the board, it still cannot penetrate the shield.
The other is a solid bullet, which is a large iron ball like a lead ball. It has a long range and is mainly used to destroy strong fortifications and ships.
The last type is a chain bomb, which is a long iron chain. Most of the time, it is used to deal with the sails of warships, causing the sailboat to lose power and be beaten passively. However, in such a city defense battle, the use of this chain bomb is not effective.
How good.
Both sides are now engaged in a fierce long-range artillery battle. The human artillery attacks the advancing Orc iron shield phalanx, while the Orc catapults also attack all targets on the city wall.
The orcs took advantage of the artillery battle because the walls could not be moved and the Alliance soldiers were on top of the walls.
The sound of artillery, the impact of heavy objects, the officers shouting orders, and the soldiers' screams constitute the theme song of this bloody hell.
Seeing groups of human soldiers being knocked off the city wall by catapult shells and thrown to death, Dai Lin was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He felt really aggrieved. He could clearly knock out the opponent's catapult, but he didn't have the opportunity.
Unable to fight, he could only watch helplessly as many of his soldiers were knocked off the city wall and thrown to death.
In the artillery battle between the two sides, the orcs had the upper hand, but the orcs' fog of war also stopped beyond the range of their bows and arrows, and they were unable to achieve any success.
Creation always comes faster than destruction, not to mention that the number of orc shamans is not as large as that of elven mages, and there are so many artillery on the city walls aimed at them, so they dare not stay in one place for too long.
The two sides were in a stalemate for nearly an hour. Many human soldiers on the Alliance side died, and more than 20 of the orcs' iron shield fortresses were destroyed by solid bullets from human artillery. However, overall, the Allies suffered a heavy loss.
Gradually, the number of ice bullets from the orcs gradually decreased, as if they were also tired. Many ice bullets fell at the base of the outer city wall.
"What are the orcs doing?" Yulin Blood Eagle said strangely: "Why are the hits getting more and more inaccurate? Do catapults also get tired?"
"What did you just say?" Alleria asked suddenly.
"I said, why are the orcs' catapults becoming more and more inaccurate? This is really strange! Just now, many of them were throwing ice cubes on the city wall or into the city, but now most of them are just throwing them under the outer city wall. What do you think?
Isn’t it strange?”
Only then did Dai Lin and others look at it carefully for a while.
"No! The orcs may be testing bombs!" Daelin shouted.
"Archer Mage, prepare for battle," Alleria didn't care what the orcs wanted to do, she gave the order directly.
Sure enough, after a while, the orcs threw clouds of smoke-emitting cannonballs. After those cannonballs hit the thick walls of the city wall, they shattered into countless fist-sized smoke-emitting objects.
Then the orcs brought many bundles of weeds with stones or other heavy objects tied inside and hit them with thick white smoke at the base of the city wall. After the weeds hit the smoking tinder, more thick smoke emitted.
cigarette.
As the Thin Man brought more and more weeds, the thick white smoke rising outside the city wall slowly formed a barrier blocking sight.
"Are you ordering the mages to release a blizzard and quickly put out the smoke under the wall?" Yulin Blood Eagle turned around and asked Sylvanas quietly.
"No! The blizzard spell drops large icicles to extinguish the fire, but it's more difficult with smoke. The orcs only need to block our sight for a short period of time. Their soldiers can use the cover of thick smoke to rush to the city wall.
, or their warlocks can hide under the wall and summon demons on the city wall, just like this morning." Sylvanas said.
"What should we do?" Yulin Blood Eagle asked.
"Order the mages to release the rain of fire spell under the city wall!" Alleria's command replaced Sylvanas' answer.
Following Alleria's order, the ancient and desolate spells of the elf mages floated. Soon, splendid flames rained down on the places under the city wall where thick smoke was rising.
The arrival of large swaths of fire rain caused a large amount of weeds thrown by the orcs under the city to ignite a fire. In the fire, countless orcs who took advantage of the smoke to quickly advance to the city wall were wailing inside.
Yulin Blood Eagle wiped the cold sweat from his head. He thought that they were still better. Since the orcs put incendiary objects to create thick smoke to cover the infantry siege, they simply used fire magic to burn all those things to create an isolation zone. Now listen to the sound,
A lot of orc soldiers were burned.
"Order the Griffin Knights to take off with incendiary bombs, targeting the Orc Iron Shield Phalanx." Alleria then gave another order.
"With so much smoke, the Griffin Knights can't see it!" Yulin Blood Eagle said.
"I don't care! As many as you can kill," Alleria said.
"Order the artillery to switch to shotguns and attack the city walls. Hit as close and as fast as you can! The orcs have already attacked under the cover of smoke." Dai Lin also issued an urgent order.
Seeing the orders being issued one by one, Yulin Blood Eagle still felt uneasy. Such an arrangement could indeed block a large number of orc infantry attacks, but facing the orc shamans and warlocks protected by heavy shields, there was basically no harm.
Magical flames and bundles of burning weeds here and there have little effect on the orcs protected by the Beast Iron Shield Fortress.
To break the iron shield phalanx of the orcs, you need to use flowing and sticky kerosene. It will burn when it touches it. Even iron blocks will burn, and a large amount of kerosene is needed to break it. Or it can be broken.
You can summon hellfire like an orc and drop it directly into the square formation to force a breakthrough, but there is currently no warlock profession in the elven army.
Of course, it is possible to hit the target directly with solid bullets from the artillery, but now the thick smoke makes people want to cry when they open their eyes, let alone clearly see and aim at the opponent's iron shield phalanx.
