Chapter eight hundred and thirty first flock demining
In order to prevent this situation from happening, he deliberately placed the siege equipment corps far away. The closest distance between the two sides was three hundred meters, and the farthest was five or six hundred meters.
The purpose of using it to bomb Sophilia's military camp was secondary. The main purpose was to test the waters and lure out the opponent's heavy firepower so that he could observe the movement.
He always felt that Sophia Liya and the others were very confident, and the reason was probably due to their use of black gunpowder.
It turns out that Terrence's guess was right.
The one who just took action was the artillery regiment led by Yongye Army.
Terrence repeatedly estimated Sophia's use of black gunpowder, but in the end he underestimated it.
It's okay if their siege equipment troops don't show up. Once they do show up, they basically can't be saved.
Not to mention just placing it four to five hundred meters away, even if it is placed one or two kilometers away, as long as it is located and destroyed, it is just a matter of several rounds of saturation bombardment.
The technical gap between the two sides was not a matter of one or two steps as Terrence imagined, but a matter of several kilometers.
It is abnormal not to be rolled over, but it is normal to be rolled over.
This precise round of artillery fire was like a sap, hitting Hai Ridongbu hard on the back of the head. Everyone couldn't help but smack their teeth and sucked in a breath of cold air, commanding the army to retreat crazily, further widening the distance between the two sides.
But he was still a step too slow and blew up the siege equipment camp of the Hai Ri Dong Department to the Queen of Heaven.
The artillery position in Sophilia's military camp immediately turned its guns and bombarded them indiscriminately.
Suddenly, people were on their backs.
Countless war horses were frightened by the cannonballs that fell around them. They lost control and ran wildly, throwing off the guesswork of the large number of Odin orcs.
Hai Ridong's troops had not yet launched an attack on Sophilia's army formation, but they had lost their troops and generals, leaving thousands of corpses in place.
"This Sophia Liya is harder than we thought and difficult to chew. If it doesn't work, we will bypass them and rush directly into their hinterland. Anyway, they are infantry and cannot catch up with us."
There has been a subtle change in Chief Greg's attitude.
"We have to fight. If we can't defeat them, we will be dead ends if we rush in, because at that time, we don't dare to divide our troops at all, and there are no such big military targets along the way for us to attack and seize food supplies. If their large
What should we do if there are such weapons guarding the city walls?
Our siege equipment has no chance of getting close, and will be blasted to pieces by them. At that time, our warriors can only rush forward with bare hands and use their own flesh and blood to pile up.
If they continue to chase us behind us, within a month, our army will be completely disintegrated due to lack of food. By then, our ending will be even more miserable. Only one out of ten who can return to the prairie alive will survive.
Compared to those city castles that have been in operation for who knows how many years, their temporary camp is easier to break.
Their defense equipment is sharp, which cannot change the fact that most of them are new soldiers.
As long as all their veterans are killed, the rest is to drive the sheep and help us break open the castle gate."
Terrence, who originally did not advocate attacking Sophia Liya's military stronghold, had a 180-degree change in his attitude.
If they do this, they will certainly bring devastating damage to the Byron Alliance, but they will also jump into the cage and lose their freedom of advance and retreat. Once Sophia Liya retakes the Broken Vein Defense Line, they will be unable to do so.
There is a way back.
With such a sharp siege weapon, Terrence really had no confidence that he could defend the broken line of defense with a small number of Odin orcs.
"Everyone is dead, so let's give it a try." Chief Hairidong gritted his teeth and made the final decision, "Starting from the sun rising tomorrow, the three groups will launch an attack at the same time, regardless of life and death, day and night. Terrence, I
Allocate you 20,000 elites to penetrate behind them and intercept all their supplies, especially the supplies of the Wrath of God."
"Understood." Terrence responded knowingly.
Chief Hai Ridong gave up the last thought of not being prepared to pay a lot of casualties and prepared to fight a war of attrition.
Use the lives of your tribe's warriors to exchange the opponent's cannonballs.
This is the cruelest and most helpless exchange, because they have nothing but the lives of warriors.
Judging from the current situation, even exchanging one life for another is worth it.
It's just that war is never as simple as doing math problems.
The number of soldiers, soldier equipment, soldier morale, and soldier training level are not all, they are just some of the components.
"Today, there are enemies preventing us from continuing to go south, denying our people a chance to survive, and denying us access to more wealth. What should we do?"
"Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill them all!"
"We Odin people have the right to live freely today. It was never given by others. It was led by Odin the Great and we took it with our own hands. It is the same today. We must use our own hands to get rid of those two-legged sheep.
Skin, eat meat and drink blood to gain the right for our tribe to survive, for the sake of the tribe and for the sake of glory."
"For the tribe, for the glory!"
"Trample their camps to pieces, tear apart their armor, and kill them all! Ula!"
"Ula! Ula! Ula!"
After a bandit-like morale boost, countless Odin orcs rushed towards Sophilia's camp with bloodshot eyes and howling, ready to take it down in one go.
Ordinary Odin orcs don't have so many calculations in their eyes. In their eyes, Sophilia's Camp is incomparable not only to the Broken Mouth Blood Castle that has been in operation for more than three hundred years, but also to the Broken Vein Defense Line that they captured.
On the same level.
The broken line of defense that was said not to fall was now lying groaning at their feet. What did a small camp mean?
Soon they knew what saturation bombardment was.
Hundreds of infantry artillery fired at the same time. The sound of artillery fire came one after another, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Even if the ears of those war horses were completely blocked, they could not be completely isolated.
In the face of this new hot weapon, manpower is a joke, including those warriors and the Eye of Odin who are famous for their bravery. Once a cannonball falls not far away, at best they can run a few more steps and make quicker decisions than ordinary soldiers.
evasive action.
If you want to use flesh and blood or armor to resist, it is simply because you think your death is too slow.
The Odin Orcs are obviously not that stupid.
To be more precise, they had already paid their tuition during the two previous attacks on the Interruption Defense Line, and had figured out a way to deal with thermal weapons - skirmishing fronts.
The distance between the soldiers should be wide enough. Once the shells fall next to them, not only will there be enough room to dodge, but the number of Odin Orcs killed by the bombs will be relatively limited.
Therefore, the first wave of Hairi Dongbu's offensive seemed huge, but in fact it only used three ten thousand troops.
The main purpose is to consume the enemy's artillery shells.
They did the same thing when they attacked the pulse-breaking defense line.
There is no way around it.
Technology is not as good as human beings, so we can only fight with flesh and blood.
As a large number of Odin orcs were killed, the mysterious tower in Sophilia's camp also began to play a role.
Countless rays of light that were difficult to discern with the naked eye emerged from the dead Odin orcs, and then sank into the tower, making the shimmering light on it even brighter.
Heroic Soul Tower.
This is its scientific name in Yongye Army.
As the name suggests, its function is exactly the same as the Heroic Soul Banner. It is used to temporarily collect and store souls, but it is fixed.
When Sean led his wife and daughter on patrol, this was what they built on a large scale.
Compared with the Heroic Soul Banner, although the Heroic Soul Tower has fatal flaws such as being inconvenient to carry and having more construction consumables, it also has artificial advantages such as more power of law, wider coverage, greater absorption capacity, and a lower limit for absorbing souls.
Many advantages.
The priority is given to densely populated areas in towns. After all, military leaders can't ask residents to die in designated locations, right?
What's more, the affairs of the second world are classified as military secrets even in the Yongye Military Territory, and ordinary citizens are not aware of them yet.
It is still feasible to plan a high-death area like a hospital to the location closest to the Heroic Soul Tower.
Sean went to Hai Ri Dong Club to promote the Heroic Soul Army Flag, which is obviously an unrealistic thing.
They can only use the Heroic Soul Tower to forcefully collect the souls of their soldiers.
Again, after they die, their outlook on life and the world will be strongly impacted, and the love and hatred they had during their lifetime will fade a lot.
The most important thing is that their life and death will be in Sean's hands. If they don't cooperate, they will end up in despair.
In order to cope with the huge pressure from the Shadow Mistress, Sean no longer cares whether this is a disguised form of slavery.
Those foreign invaders who are eyeing him will not give him time to integrate all the forces and forces step by step.
When the Odin orc soldiers from the Hai Ri Dong Department rushed into the 400-meter range of the camp despite artillery fire, a series of roars came from the underground, blowing countless war horses and Odin orc knights into the sky.
They stepped into the mine array of the military camp.
"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!"
The courage of the Odin Orcs is not unlimited. The mine array became the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely defeating the courage of the vanguard army.
Thousands of corpses were left behind, and the first wave of Hai Ri Dong's attack ended in vain.
From the beginning to the end, not even a single arrow could be sent into their military camp, let alone causing casualties to Sophilia and the others.
The only result was probably the consumption of thousands of their artillery shells and mines.
Even though I had made appropriate mental preparations before this, I still felt a bit sore in my teeth.
It's really frustrating to start such a war, and there's nothing we can do about it.
"Catch up the sheep and trample their minefields." The first adviser, Terrence, was sent out, and Chief Hairidong could only make plans himself.
"But our flock itself is not large." A chieftain below could not help but murmur in a low voice.
"Since you can't bear to part with the sheep, then you can lead your tribe and continue to charge forward. As long as you can push them outside their military stronghold, it's the same to us." Chief Hai Ridong roared with red eyes.
.
Stupid people often make mischief, but at this time, they still have the heart to feel sorry for their own sheep.
I wonder if they can't break through the opponent's military stronghold, so they have no way to continue going south. Will they all die here?
As soon as they heard that their tribe would be sent as the vanguard to charge into the battle, the chiefs and leaders immediately became silent.
They had witnessed the previous posture with their own eyes. It was a typical situation of whoever charged would die. They were afraid that it would be difficult to touch the opponent's military camp before the opponent's shells were lured and consumed.
The Hai Ridong tribe is not a harmonious group. They are just a coalition that got together to fight against Ulan Baz. There are so many tribal chiefs in them, each with their own rights and interests. There are many intrigues and wrangling among them.
Countless.
If there is any benefit, each one will rush faster than anyone else.
If there is no benefit, everyone will stagnate.
They all want to preserve their own strength. After all, the Odin Orcs are also wolf-like competition within themselves. If they lose too much strength during the southern invasion, there is no guarantee that they will return to the Odin Grassland and not be annexed by other tribes.
But the question is, if we all have this idea, how can we fight this battle?
The Hai Ridong Department has hesitated for so long on the Broken Vein Defense Line and has not made a decision whether to go west or south. This has a certain relationship with this complicated internal environment.
After Hai Ridong and the others made the decision, they did not set out without any prohibition. They had to go to great lengths to get rid of these leaders first.
Only after the mist dividing line forced them to have no choice but to reach a consensus.
Even so, there are some chiefs who do not believe in evil and secretly send soldiers to try to cross the fog barrier.
The result can be imagined, no matter how many they sent, they would never come back.
"Five hundred sheep came out of our horns."
"We have two thousand black claws."
"We have eight hundred short tails."
"us……"
"us……"
Each tribe, like squeezing out toothpaste, pieced together the flock of sheep that hit the mine formation bit by bit, which made Chief Hai Ridong have a black look on his face.
I couldn't help but lament in my heart, how could they be reduced to this situation? When did it become as difficult to take care of sheep as it was to take cattle and horses?
Seeing their stingy looks, Chief Hai Ridong really wanted to wave his hand and tell all their cattle and sheep that their right tiger guard had come out on his own.
But countless pairs of hungry eyes flashed before his eyes, and he swallowed the heroic words.
The food shortage is not a matter of one tribe or two tribes, but the whole situation.
Not only is his tribe no better than other tribes, but it is worse. After all, he is different from the famous Ulan Bage. If he wants to win people's hearts, he needs to set an example everywhere.
If he also followed Ulan Bari's example and gave priority to his own tribe, what reason would the tribes below have to follow him?
After half a day of discussions like going to the market, the entire Hairidong tribe finally pieced together an army of 200,000 sheep. The troops were also divided into three groups and drove them towards Sophia Liya's military stronghold.
Although this move was somewhat beyond Sophia's expectations, it was still reasonable.
After all, it's better to use sheep to stave off thunder than to use people.
