Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters eternal night
One hundred and twenty meters!
One hundred meters!
Eighty meters!
Fifty meters!
Come on, come on, they can clearly see the situation in the camp.
Thirty meters!
They could already hear each other's shouts.
Twenty meters!
They could already see each other's appearance clearly.
Ten meters!
They could already clearly hear each other's heavy breathing.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"Are they still human? How come they are so tall?"
"They are the Kentana barbarians, the barbarians from the Kentana Icefield. They are the only ones with such terrifying stature. How could they appear on the land of the Byron Alliance? Have they already formed an alliance?"
"Hell, are they barbarians? Or are we barbarians? How come they have such sophisticated equipment?"
The Odin orc soldiers who were rushing at the front suddenly changed their colors after seeing the situation on the other side.
When they watched from a distance, the other party kept making moves to close the village gate, but when they got closer, they realized that this was just a fake move by the other party.
A human wall has replaced the village gate, blocking the place.
It's just that this human wall is not an ordinary wall.
The opponent standing there was not much shorter than they were sitting on their horses.
His whole body was covered with orc arrows, like a hedgehog, and he looked very scary.
But from the cold eyes they showed, it was as if these arrows did not exist.
The one at the front was none other than the Kentana heavy shield soldier.
This unit has its own nickname, Tashan, in the Yongye Army.
The inner layer is inlaid composite armor, and the outer layer is hung with large, thick plate armor. The outer layer is covered with a tower shield with knob-shaped spikes, just like a door. The total weight of the armor reaches an astonishing one hundred and fifty kilograms.
.
With this amount, many untrained Kentana barbarians cannot bear it for a long time, let alone ordinary people, who would find it difficult to move around in it.
After these Kentana heavy shield soldiers go out, they often put their tower shields up there and huddle back, easily avoiding taking action. This is another reason for their nickname. They must save their physical strength as much as possible.
But once it happens, it is often fatal.
If a tower shield weighing hundreds of kilograms hits a human body, it will break bones and tendons easily.
The rain of arrows from the Odin Orcs only further verified their terrifying defense capabilities.
Not to mention they also have a complete combat skills system.
So far, the Kentana barbarian soldiers of the Holy Spirit Legion have relied on the strength of their weapons and armor, and have not yet used any means of undermining.
Now it was discovered that something was wrong. The elite soldiers blocking the door were not the broken soldiers that he had expected. There was no way for these Odin orcs to stop halfway.
I could only press forward bravely, secretly hoping that the Kentana barbarians were not as fierce as the legends say, they were just larger in size.
But judging from the opponent's sophisticated equipment and calm and orderly reaction, their expectations were destined to fail.
"fry!"
Under the bombardment of artillery fire, destroyed by minefields, and covered with arrows, the Odin orcs rushed outside the camp gate after going through countless hardships. Before they had time to attack the Kentanata shield soldiers, they were greeted by dozens of grenades.
The ground was washed, and the people who were bombed were turned upside down and suffered heavy casualties.
Soon, corpses piled up in front of the city gate, becoming a natural barrier for defense and greatly increasing the difficulty for the Odin orcs' attack behind them.
In the end, after the Odin orcs charged closer, they had to abandon their horses and charge forward on foot.
"kill!"
At this time, the shield mountain moved, and the Kentanamo sword soldiers who were blocked behind by the Kentanata shield soldiers rushed out in large strides.
There aren't many, just a small team at best.
But the lethality displayed was astonishing.
If you advance and chop in unison, you will be unstoppable.
The sword frame is broken, the shield frame is broken.
When sharpness and brute strength are combined, terrifying power will bloom.
One man can shut the door and ten thousand men can't open it.
This is the situation in front of me.
Before hundreds of Odin orcs swarmed up, they were blocked by more than a dozen Kentanamo swordsmen and could not move any further.
However, the chiefs and leaders at the back did not know the situation at the front, and thought that a breakthrough was imminent, so they rushed forward crazily to suppress their troops and people.
Their concept is very simple. When it comes to the quality of individual soldiers, the Byrons are far inferior to them, the Odin Orcs.
The ace in Sophia's hands, the Blood Cavalry Right Army with Broken Mouth, had been dragged to death by them in the wild.
The rest are mainly old opponents, soldiers who have withdrawn from the broken line of defense.
They knew the other side well. The reason why the other side was able to fight with them on the broken line of defense for so long was because of the strength of the city walls and weapons.
If one of the two is lost, they can drive them off the city wall. Now it's just a different situation, and they still have the ability to defeat them again.
Poor intelligence allowed them to make wrong judgments.
Continuously sending his soldiers to the edge of the knife.
The group of Kentana Mo sword soldiers pushed out a dozen steps and then began to retreat in an orderly manner.
The same tactics used to deal with the sheep were still used.
The Kentanata shield soldiers were already behind them, forming a shield wall passage.
The Odin orcs who followed them in were surrounded on three sides.
The large, narrow and sharp Evernight Saber stretched out from the reserved edge of the tower shield and stabbed at them.
The Kentanamo swordsmen who retreated on the other side have completed the task handover, and another Kentanamo swordsman who has been recharging their strength took over. Along this passage, they killed and pushed back, leaving a place behind.
The corpses were quickly dragged away after they passed by, and piled up haphazardly like those slaughtered sheep.
When you are exhausted, you retreat; when you are strong, you push forward.
The three military gates of Sophia Liya's military camp, which seemed to be easy to break through, turned into three giant mouths, constantly opening and closing to chew.
Every time he retreats or pushes out, the lives of Odin orcs range from dozens to hundreds.
By the time the chiefs who were commanding from behind realized that something was wrong, tens of thousands of Odin orcs had already died. The three military gates were filled with blood and the ground was soaked, muddy and slippery.
.
This is the most elite part of the Hai Ri Dong tribe. After all, in order to seize the opportunity, they recruit all capable warriors.
At this time, even though he found that he was not facing the familiar broken-pulse soldiers, but an equally well-trained and well-armed force, he could not withdraw his men.
Because once they do this, if the other party has the opportunity to repair mines, their previous investment will be in vain.
The only thing they can do now is to keep pressing forward, and keep pressing forward.
Only this time, their attack focus is no longer on the three military gates, but on seeking other safe roads that have been trampled by the sheep to break through at multiple points.
Only in this way can they bring out their own advantages.
This offensive and defensive battle, less than half a week after it started, has become intense due to Sophia Liya's initiative.
The roar of artillery is endless.
The bowstring trembled, and sharp arrows shot through the air one after another.
The swords clashed and cut flesh into bones everywhere.
People roared, horses neighed and sheep bleated all night long.
If you are willing to invest, the mine array is not an insurmountable cannon.
No matter how many landmines there are, the quantity is relatively limited, and Sophia Liya doesn't have time to repurchase them.
After suffering nearly tens of thousands of casualties, the Odin orcs of Hai Ridong opened more than ten siege points.
The Odin Orcs' siege methods can be described as diverse and unconventional.
Some of them were simple and rude. They directly charged towards the cleared section of the city wall. During the charge, they had already thrown off their stirrups. When they were close enough to the city wall, they jumped into the air and prepared to pounce directly on the simple city wall.
.
In theory, it can be done.
But when it comes to actually doing it, most Odin orcs find that they have overestimated their riding skills.
This kind of high-speed jumping is not so easy to master.
The results are often far from what you want.
What's more, there are defenders stationed on the city wall, and when they take off in the air, they often become living targets and are directly shot off the city wall.
After killing hundreds of such skillful and daring fools in a row, no Odin orc would use this seemingly convenient but dangerous method.
There are also smart Odin orcs who will throw a lasso up first, wait for the opportunity, and then climb over the city wall.
It's just that on the city wall, there are not only new soldiers, but also veterans who are good at defense. Once they find ropes thrown up, they will immediately call for people to cut them off.
Then there is the standard stupid method, stacking corpses, whether they are horse corpses, sheep corpses, or human corpses, will become their best stepping stones.
Not to mention that the Odin Orcs, who advocate sky burial, have only average respect for the corpse itself. Even the Byron people, who associate corpses with glory, will not pay attention to this aspect when they go to the battlefield. They have to use it as a stepping stone.
After all, it is more important to capture the opponent's castle and save your own life.
Although this method is a bit clumsy, it is very easy to use.
The simple camp is different from the stone wall. The main body is made of various logs. Even if it has been fireproofed before construction, there is no way to dump black kerosene and burn the corpses like the stone wall.
It took less than half a day from the time the mine array fell to when the Odin orcs stacked a wall of corpses more than two meters high under the city wall.
"You warriors, what are you waiting for? Attack in an all-out manner and capture the opponent's city wall. It's just a recruitment period. I want to eat meat in their camp tonight."
"I heard that their commander is not only a princess, but also a beautiful princess. The chief has an order. Once he is captured, he will be rewarded to the first warrior who rushes into the opponent's camp. He will be given all kinds of trophies.
Pick.”
"Warriors, what are you waiting for? Come with me and never fall behind others."
The chiefs of the Hairidong tribe once again stood up to boost morale. Some of the braver chiefs went into battle in person, preparing to lead the charge. Boosting morale was only one aspect. The most important thing was to rush in front so that they could snatch the spoils as soon as possible.
.
Especially the artillery that the opponent is showing off its power. Although they haven't seen its specific appearance yet, they know from the experience of the black powder barrel that it is definitely a good thing for attacking cities and demolishing strongholds.
If they can grab that thing, they will have nothing to fear even if the opponent is a strong castle.
As for whether elite Kentana barbarians would appear again in the opponent's military camp, they were not worried about it anymore.
If the opponent is completely composed of the same elites as before, there is no need to form a stronghold and defend them. You can just fight them in the field. With the size and equipment of the opponent, even if you fight on foot, you will not suffer at all against them.
Their guess was correct.
It is true that Sophilia did not have that many elites in her hands, and those who mainly guarded the city wall were the new army formed with the broken-pulse soldiers as the center.
But they have new weapons in their hands that the Odin orc chiefs and leaders did not expect.
When Hai Ridong's troops were so powerful that they launched an inevitable general attack, there were clear and crisp roars from the city wall.
Accompanied by a clear roar, the Odin orcs and mounts rushing at the front felt as if they were hit by invisible fists.
If those who were hit by the invisible fist were Odin orcs, they would fall back one after another, and blood would spurt out from their chests, abdomens, heads, and limbs.
If it was a mount, it would neigh and fall to the ground with the knight.
"What's going on? What's going on? Where did the attack come from?"
"Is it a bow and arrow? But why can't you see the arrow body?"
"What kind of attack is this? How could this happen?"
"Evil magic must be evil. Otherwise, how could it attack us without anyone seeing it?"
"It's a bow and arrow. Look, these are their arrows, but how do they shoot out only the arrows? Is this another new weapon of theirs?"
A new round of attacks from Sophilia's military camp dealt another huge blow to the Odin orcs.
This blow comes not only from casualties but also from a lack of understanding of the situation.
The black powder barrels exploded and shocked or blew their soldiers to death, which was still within the scope of their understanding.
Just hearing the sound but not being able to see where the attack came from, while the tribesmen soldiers around them fell in pieces like wheat in autumn, really made them a little frightened.
Some Odin orc soldiers who were lucky enough to survive soon discovered what was really attacking them.
It was still a crossbow arrow, but this kind of crossbow arrow had no feathers and was incredibly fast. After falling on people, it sank directly into their bodies, leaving only horrific wounds and splattered blood.
Therefore, it makes them look like they were hit by an invisible fist.
But how on earth did the other party shoot an arrow without fletching?
The speed is so fast and the lethality is so amazing.
The leather armor on their bodies is basically useless for protection.
The protective effect of the simple wooden shield was relatively limited, and it could be easily torn into pieces and hit directly on their bodies.
Some soldiers even had penetrating wounds on their bodies, with blood spurting from the front and back.
The attack method of this new type of arrow is also very different from that of bows and arrows.
Most bows and arrows are thrown at an angle, especially the Andis longbow. If you want to defend against them, you must tilt your shield upwards.
And this kind of arrow without fletching is shot from the front.
If you are caught off guard, you are more likely to suffer big losses.
There is no doubt that this tool that shoots arrows without fletching is the musket produced by the leader of the Yongye Army.
