Even the undead soldiers of the Klein tribe, as long as they are within ten meters of the explosion range, their chances of survival are slim. Even if they are ten meters away, they will still have to accept shock waves and flame splash damage. Soon the entire battlefield will be illuminated.
daytime.
Then an even more terrifying roar came.
The Yunxiao trebuchet began to show its power.
Although the projectiles they project are stone projectiles, they are also carefully polished stone projectiles, each weighing more than three hundred kilograms.
When each piece hits the ground, it will emit a roar that is no less powerful than a barrel of black powder exploding.
If you accidentally land on its landing point, not to mention ordinary undead soldiers, even skeleton armored knights will be smashed into pulp on the spot.
However, this chance is very slim. Regardless of whether they are great knights or champion knights, their bodies are indeed stronger than ordinary people, but there are limits. There is no way to resist non-human equipment. They should be the most powerful compared to ordinary people.
The sharp reaction nerve can detect this danger at the first time and avoid it.
The Skeleton Armor Knights are in a similar situation. Compared with ordinary undead soldiers, they not only have stronger bone armor and more terrifying power, but also have combat skills that they do not possess.
The stone bullet hit the ground with enough space for them to avoid it.
The stone bullets thrown by the Yunxiao trebuchet are not finished after landing, but roll forward in a bouncing manner, and their lethality is equally impressive.
The last thing that showed its power was the blade-throwing vehicle tailor-made for the undead soldiers. The crazy rotating triangular blade was like a life harvester. Wherever it passed, severed limbs flew everywhere, and the undead soldiers fell into pieces.
The piece fell.
The soldiers of the Kingsley family who witnessed this situation were all dumbfounded, and they kept hearing exclamations similar to what the hell.
The visual impact caused by this brutal city-defending instrument is far superior to that of a trebuchet in the sky.
While cheering loudly, an icy cold shiver and rejoicing surged uncontrollably in their hearts. Fortunately, when they attacked Brother Port, the leader of the Yongye Army did not push out this crazy city defense equipment, otherwise they would
Will become human-shaped wheat being harvested.
This complex emotion echoed in the hearts of the soldiers of the Kingsley family at the first moment of the war. The more they understood the power of these city defense equipment, the less courage they had to fight against the leader of the Evernight Army.
The Yong Ye Army Leader's use of city defense equipment has reached an unimaginable level, not only in terms of power, but also convenience.
It took them weeks of time and effort to build several siege engines. They only needed to transport a bunch of parts and assemble one in less than half a day.
This gap is the most daunting.
Under the saturation coverage of various long-range attacks, there are only a few undead soldiers who can rush to the bottom of the city wall, not even two-thirds of the original number, and many of them are still missing arms and legs.
Even if they were in good condition, there was nothing they could do in the face of the city wall that was six or seven meters high. They could only gather under the city wall blankly, waiting for the subsequent large forces to come up and build ladders.
"Smash!"
The soldiers of the Kingsley family who were guarding the city would not let go of this perfect opportunity, and they smashed down all the trees and stones.
The excellent results achieved by the defensive equipment in front greatly boosted their morale.
It gave them the illusion that these guys looked scary, but were actually nothing more than that.
This illusion is beneficial, at least in front of a formal confrontation.
"Hell, are these guys people? Or ants? They actually attack the city in this way!"
"Don't just sit there and push them down."
"Black powder barrel, use the black powder barrel to blow them up."
"Ah... these guys are really unkillable!"
"Idiot, I told you that their vital points are in the head and heart. Attacking other places will have no effect!"
"Black powder barrel, where is the black powder barrel? Blow up the ladder here quickly, otherwise it will be unable to withstand it!"
Until the undead soldiers of the Klein tribe set up human ladders, undead soldiers stepped onto the city wall one after another.
Only those soldiers of the Kingsley family truly understood the terror of these undead monsters, and also understood the reason why the leader of the Yongye Army did not hesitate to give up huge benefits to bring them into the game, and spared no effort to help them.
These fearless undead soldiers are just killing machines. After jumping on the city wall, they have no defensive moves and just attack without mercy.
The soldiers of the Kingsley family slashed him, and they were still alive and kicking. The soldiers of the Kingsley family slashed him, and half of their lives were taken away.
Yes, the leader of the Yongye Army had indeed told them long ago that the weak points of these monsters were their heads and hearts.
But on a chaotic battlefield, how easy is it to land every blow on the vital point?
What's more, their vital points are not so fragile that a casual poke can cause them to fall. They are protected by layers of bone armor.
Don't underestimate these bone armors. It's not that easy to cut open the skull of an ordinary human being, let alone one of these alienated monsters.
Many of the attacks did hit their vital points, but they were surprised to find that their swords failed to penetrate or split at all. Before they could attack a second time, the opponent's counterattack arrived. In a blink of an eye, they could be killed.
Akmeiser immediately sent up the elite heavy armored infantry of the Kingsley family as a reserve force, and then he was able to withstand it.
This is the result of weakening the long-range siege equipment layer by layer.
If the other party were to rush directly to the city wall without knowing it, what would happen would be unimaginable.
But no one has the mind to think about this issue now. There is only one thought echoing in their minds - to survive.
Just as the leader of the Yongye Army predicted, the most terrifying thing about the undead soldiers of the Klein tribe is that they are the first wave of impact. As long as they can withstand this wave, the probability of guarding Brother Port will be increased to 100%.
Said, 90% can still be guaranteed.
Their relatively simple thinking mode prevents them from engaging in any real-life tactics. Once they take action, they use all their troops and their maximum strength.
Fifty thousand or sixty thousand sounds like a lot, but when placed on a defensive line that is four to five kilometers long, it really is not too much.
By the time the unresponsive undead soldiers of the Klein tribe sensed something was wrong and prepared to concentrate their forces to attack a specific point, they had already consumed 7,788, and the threat they posed would not exceed the first wave of all-out attack.
Because they have concentrated their forces, the firepower of Brother Port's defensive equipment will also be concentrated. If there is one undead soldier or ten within the bombing range, the power will not be greatly affected.
The Kingsley family wanted them to concentrate their forces so that they could concentrate their firepower and eliminate them on the offensive path as much as possible.
This resulted in the attack and defense of Brother Port ending in an anticlimactic manner.
It was extremely brutal from the beginning, but it lasted very briefly.
When the sun reaches the middle of the sky, it is basically coming to an end.
At this time, the Yongye Army leaders who had surrounded the undead army had just assembled, and they were here to clean up the battlefield.
Seeing that the undead army could no longer produce any results, the leaders of the Yongye Army did not send their army into the battlefield. They did not want to taste the power of their war equipment.
It is true that the Yongye Army Lord and the Kingsley Family have signed an armistice agreement, but it does not mean that there is no possibility of them falling out. If they have the opportunity to severely damage the main force of the Yongye Army Lord, Archduke Buck will definitely tear up the agreement without hesitation.
The leader of the Yongye Army will never give the Kingsley family such a chance.
"Huh!" Archduke Buck, who was watching the entire offensive and defensive battle without blinking, breathed a long sigh of relief.
This result is still within the acceptable range. The number of injuries to the soldiers of the Kingsley family is far from touching his bottom line. This can be seen from the negotiation treaty he agreed to with the Yongye military leader. The Kingsley family
As long as the Eastern Conquest Army can be maintained at more than 100,000, it is a number he can accept.
However, the hanging heart was only halfway down. Archduke Buck turned to look at Sean and said: "Your Excellency, Baron, we have already done what we should do. Is it time for you to fulfill your promise?"
If the Kingsley family's Eastern Army did not return to Carter's military territory, his heart would not be completely relieved.
"Of course." Sean, whose wish came true, was also in a good mood, "Our troop transport ships will be assembled in the near future and can transport His Excellency the Grand Duke's army to the designated location at any time. I personally suggest that the Grand Duke should go back first.
, make the corresponding preparations and arrangements, and then tell us where to transport your army."
This is also one of the agreements between the two parties.
The 100,000 Kingsley Family Eastern Expeditionary Army released by the Yong Ye Army Leader did not return along the original route. Instead, like last time, the Yong Ye Army Leader used a troop transport ship to transfer directly back to the Carter Army Leader through the water transportation line.
.
This is the best of both worlds.
Leaders of the Yongye Army need not worry. After the Kingsley family's eastern expedition army returned to the west coast, it could not stop, creating new variables.
The Kingsley family's eastern expedition no longer has to be delayed for half a year in the Swamp of Despair.
He does not mean that.
Archduke Buck only hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said: "Then I'll go back and prepare. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble His Excellency the Baron to escort me all the way."
The negotiations with the Yongye Military Leader are coming to an end, but it does not mean the end of the war for the Kingsley family. Once the 100,000 troops return to their territory, it will be the moment they launch military retaliation.
The weaker you are, the more you have to show your fangs, otherwise those greedy jackals will not only not return the flesh and blood that they have eaten away from the Kingsley family, but they will go even further and try to tear out more flesh and blood.
It is indeed extremely convenient for the Yong Ye Army Leader to transport troops through the Jacob River. If planned well, it can even have unexpected effects.
"I am happy to serve you, Your Excellency the Grand Duke." Sean did not have any prejudice against Archduke Buck just because the two sides had faced each other in the military.
Sitting in their position, personal senses and military leaders' interests are torn apart.
The conflict between the Kingsley family and the Yongye Army leader is not due to personal grudges, but a conflict of interests.
Now that the conflict of interest is temporarily over, in Sean's eyes, Archduke Buck has immediately transformed into a potential major customer.
On the way back, Sean spared no effort to sell various products of the Evernight Army to Archduke Buck, including those large siege equipment.
There is no product in this world that cannot be sold.
If the other party is unwilling to sell, it can only be said that the price is not enough.
Not to mention, the leader of the Yongye Army does have a product that Archduke Buck is interested in.
One is a blade thrower and the other is black powder.
Needless to say, the former's lethality is not even able to withstand those undead monsters, let alone humans.
But what really moved Archduke Buck was its visual impact, which had an unimaginable deterrent effect on recruits who were not strong-willed to resist.
Not to mention black powder, which is not only a weapon for war, but also a weapon for mining. If Archduke Buck could not see this, then he would be presumptuous as he has been the ruler of the Carter Army for so many years.
Once used properly, it will double the number of mines mined by the Kingsley family every year.
Sean nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Although the Blade Throwing Car is full of black technology, it is just a temporary model that was launched in a hurry, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. If Archduke Buck is willing to take over, he will naturally take the opportunity to make a fortune, as long as he orders it from the Kingsley family.
Steel comes back and they can build as much as they want.
Yes, there was certainly a reason why Sean was so cheerful. He used this as a stepping stone to open up the metal trade with the Kingsley family.
Food and metal have always been the two most scarce materials for the Yong Ye army leader.
In terms of food, the Regent Princess Sophia has been supporting them, but in terms of metals, she can't do anything. The Lancelot royal family also mainly relies on the Kingsley family.
There are also many mineral deposits in the line of pioneering cities at the junction of the Despair Swamp and the Carter Army.
But just like the Swamp of Despair, it takes time to develop them, and before that, they still need to be imported.
Of course, the Kingsley family is the best seller. In the past, when the two sides were hostile, you didn't sell, but now you have no reason, right?
If possible, Archduke Buck would really like to use metal trade to tie the necks of the Yongye Army leaders and slow down their growth.
But he couldn't refuse the temptation thrown by Sean. The Kingsley family now urgently needs this new weapon to restore its strength.
Compared to the trading volume of black powder, the blade thrower is just an addition.
According to Sean and Duke Buck, the quantity of black powder and metal was measured in hundreds of tons, and the astronomical figures involved were only a lot more than the agreement they had just signed.
The accompanying regent Princess Sophia also took a ride, and after ordering a batch of blade-throwing vehicles from Sean, she turned around and restarted the grain trade with Archduke Buck, offering unprecedented preferential prices.
The Lancelot royal family does not want the Kingsley family's power to expand any further, nor does it want him to be too weak, thus affecting metal output.
By the time the building boat sailed out of the territory of the Yongye Army, the atmosphere among the three of them had relaxed a lot. They were not having a good time, but they could still have a good time drinking and talking.
When there is a greater interest as the premise, some trivial interests will not be taken seriously.
For example, the weapons and armor of the Kingsley family's 100,000-strong army.
According to the original plan, even if the Yongye Army leader did not capture them all, he would have to intercept 30 to 50% of them.
Now that the Kingsley family has released the metal supply to the Eternal Night Army Leader, there is no need to do this anymore.
Although the Yongye Army is not rich in iron ore, it is probably already ahead of the Kingsley family in iron smelting. Because of Sean's foresight, the Yongye Army has just begun to try to make steel as soon as they have some foundation.
After nearly ten years of continuous testing, remarkable results have been achieved.
Modern steelmaking still lacks the support of an industrial base, but the steel-frying method has matured, and combined with the hydraulic forging method, the hardness of weapons and armor forged is not much worse than that of modern steel, and even a small amount of tool steel with amazing hardness is produced.
That is, in terms of efficiency and output, it is far inferior to modern steelmaking.
But everything depends on the comparison object. If compared with the Kingsley family, the Yongye Army leader is an extremely terrifying existence in terms of efficiency and steel purity, breaking their three hundred years of inheritance.
Regarding the withdrawal of the Kingsley family, once the leader of the Yongye Army actively cooperated, the progress was rapid.
In the third week after Archduke Buck returned to the Carter Army, the first batch of 20,000 Kingsley family soldiers arrived at the designated location.
With the current transportation capacity of the Yongye Army, there is no way to transport the Kingsley family's 100,000 troops at once. They will not delay their normal business activities just to help the Kingsley family transport troops.
