Zorn really wanted to curse, he really wanted to point to the row of dragon heads hanging on the opposite city wall, and loudly question the bastard general Moss from the Holy Demon Empire in front of him: "You can't see your..."
The dragon's head is hanging on the city wall? Are you blind?"
But he really didn't dare. For a moment, he really envied the enemies on the opposite wall. At least they had the courage to fight in front of the Holy Demon Empire's army. At least they could fight against the Holy Demon Empire's army without dying.
He had neither a rifle nor a machine gun, nor a cannon nor an anti-aircraft gun, so he could only swallow his anger at this time, pretend to be a coward, and humbly lower his head in front of the generals of the Holy Demon Empire.
Therefore, no matter how much he cursed or was angry in his heart, the words he spoke turned into a cowardly reply: "I will order the troops to attack Maritza... Soon, I will definitely be able to launch an attack in the morning!"
"As soon as possible!" Unable to suppress his furious body, General Moss took the reins of his war horse and walked back proudly. He had too much pride, such as the invincible horse behind him.
3000 giant horse cavalry.
"It's definitely not possible to count on these mortals. Let them wear down the opponent first. Let's also take a look at how much the mortals on the opposite side weigh." While riding his horse back to his army, Commander Moss spoke to the side next to him.
Several lieutenants said.
The troops he brought were all cavalry. This kind of troops was actually not very suitable for attacking the opponent's city wall. Originally, he thought that the siege battle would be left to Ildor's dragon knights, and he would only be responsible for following Alan.
Just push the infantry of the Special Empire all the way to Seris City.
Who would have thought that due to unforeseen circumstances, Ildo's dragon knight troops would suffer heavy losses in Maritsa and lose the ability to attack large cities. And the ones he brought here were all cavalry, which was not suitable for joining the siege battle.
In fact, it is not impossible to attack the city, but when attacking the city, the impact of these giant horse cavalry will be greatly reduced.
Under normal circumstances, they can only attack the city gate and use the impact of the giant horse monsters to break open the city gate. However, in this way, they will inevitably lose some giant horse cavalry, because the opponent's city gate will basically prepare some boiling oil and
Things like kerosene.
Moreover, when mortal troops are defending, they usually like to block the back of the city gate with huge rocks to prevent the opponent from breaking in. Therefore, General Moss is still not willing to take risks with giant horse cavalry.
In his mind, mortals are expendable. Letting the soldiers of the Arant Empire die and testing out the opponent's strength is what should be done before the war begins. As for whether the soldiers of the Arant Empire will die or not
, then it’s not something he needs to worry about.
On the other side, Zorn, who had already agreed to organize an attack, started to mobilize his troops with a pale face: "Let the three thousand troops in front gather together and prepare to attack Maritsa! Push up the red cannons we carry...
"
"Are you crazy?" Seeing General Zorn about to start an attack, Prince Alan Lombak on the side grabbed Zorn's arm and asked with some reluctance: "You can't see the top of the city over there.
, hanging so many dragon heads?”
"I saw it! But what can I do? If we don't attack now, these 3,000 cavalry from the Holy Demon Empire can slaughter our hundreds of thousands of troops in just one morning!" Zorn shook off Lombak's hand.
Hand, explained reluctantly.
"I'm just pretending to do a test attack, and then retreat after losing a few soldiers..." He was lucky, thinking that the loss of 8,000 people would be a cost-effective thing to silence the commander of the Holy Demon Empire.
"Then have you ever thought that this situation is obviously a fight between gods! We intervene rashly, but if Ailan Hill really persists, we still have some good fruits to eat?" Lombak, as a royal family,
Naturally, he wanted to find a way out for his family.
He felt that he could not antagonize Ailanthir at the moment, but let the Holy Demon Empire attack Ailanthir first, and wait for the winner to emerge, and then Arant would stand on the side of the winner. Even if he had to pay some price for this,
It's also something that can be tolerated.
"Idiot!" Zorn still pushed Lombak away and said angrily: "The Holy Demon Empire has won, and the Arant Empire still has a glimmer of hope, and can even survive for hundreds of years! But if any mortal empire rises, what will happen?
Is it necessary for the Arantian Empire to exist?”
"Hiss..." After General Zorn said this, Lombak realized that it seemed that the kind of peace based on diplomatic compromise that he had just thought of could not guarantee the security of the Arant Empire.
Only then did he finally realize that the world had really changed. As a mortal, if he wanted to keep his position, he could only follow the Holy Demon Empire wholeheartedly and become a loser. In his opinion, this
It feels really bad, very bad.
Zorn ignored the lost Lombak and continued to issue combat orders to several officers around him. He wanted to press at least 30,000 troops to test whether the defenders of Marijane could still fight.
"Woo...!" The long horn sound echoed in the sky, and green battle flags fluttered in the wind. The soldiers of the Arant Empire slowly walked out of the forest, and on the plain outside the Maritsa city wall, slowly
Form a huge square array.
Some soldiers held shields, and some soldiers carried long ladders. Behind them, red cannons were pushed out one after another. They looked majestic, with their muzzles pointing diagonally toward the sky.
"Dong Dong! Dong Dong!" The dull war drums began to sound. Under the restraint of their commanders, the densely packed army of the Arant Empire began to form three huge square formations. There were forests of spears, and from a distance, there was a
Full of majesty and pride.
Forward! The generals holding the formation drew out the long swords from their waists and pointed at Maritsa. With their somewhat tearing shouts, the Arantine Empire's phalanx began to slowly move forward.
However, their steps were a little frightening, because through the gaps in their shields, these soldiers saw those bloody dragon heads on the city walls that were unforgettable but also hard to ignore.
A soldier stepped forward cautiously and asked his comrades beside him in a frightened voice: "Did you see those dragon heads? Are all the dragon knights who followed us killed here?"
"Stop talking, my calves are weak! Isn't it a joke for us to attack an enemy that can kill so many dragon knights?" Another soldier holding a shield replied in trembling language.
Any sane soldier now knows that they are heading towards a huge danger. Maybe the huge city in front of them will suddenly come to life and open its bloody mouth to swallow all the Arant soldiers.
However, when the soldiers of the Arant Empire approached to a distance of less than 200 meters, Maritsa still did not fire. Although there was a dull sound of artillery fire in the city, these shells did not fall on the Arant Empire.
among the crowd of soldiers.
It was not because these cannonballs missed the target, but because these cannonballs all landed on the artillery positions of the Alante Empire. Those red-coated cannons, which were built with a lot of money, were blown up by the cannonballs without even letting out a roar.
A pile of scrap metal.
Looking at the constant explosions of his own artillery positions, Moss, the commander of the Holy Demon Empire who had been observing the entire battle, finally had some changes in his expression. He wondered whether he could avoid such shelling.
In the end, he came to his own conclusion: Although it was impossible to avoid all such shelling, for the giant horse cavalry, such a degree of damage was not terrible. He tried his best to lose dozens of knights and close the distance.
, it is still possible for the Warcraft Cavalry of the Holy Demon Empire.
"Boom!" About a minute later, after wiping out the artillery of the Arant Empire, the artillery of Alan Hill finally began to attack the attacking infantry phalanx of the Arant Empire. It only took one salvo, and in the end,
A ten-thousand-man army from the Alante Empire near the city wall collapsed amid the sound of cannons.
Because it was a defensive operation and had complete shooting parameters, the artillery fire of Eiland Hill was quite accurate. About 40 artillery shells landed on an infantry square at the same time, and there was no waste of firepower at all.
40 high-explosive shells fell almost at the same time, and each shell could knock out hundreds of people. Because the Arant Empire used a dense phalanx when attacking the city, the lethality was absolutely unprecedented.
Then, after losing about 2,000 people, the infantry phalanx of the Arant Empire quickly fell apart. Originally, these soldiers were afraid of attacking Maritsa. Now that the big devil has really come to the world, these soldiers will of course be
I don't have any courage to continue fighting.
So after losing one-fifth of their troops, this 10,000-strong army began to retreat. No matter how their commanders and squad leaders urged them, these defeated troops refused to move forward any further.
Facts have proved that they were relatively lucky, because another Alante Empire infantry phalanx approaching the city was hit by even more terrifying firepower from the Maritsa defenders.
Hundreds of soldiers pulled the trigger behind the crenel, and bullets from their rifles flew into the crowd, splattering blood inside. Before they had time to figure out what horrific thing they had encountered, a second salvo fired from the top of the city.
It started.
Before these Arantian Empire soldiers could make up their minds to persist in fighting, another round of artillery fire fell on their heads. The already chaotic formation was completely thrown into chaos. In just a few breaths, the phalanx was lost.
