Chapter six hundred and twentieth third consecutive break
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"kill!"
"Come on!"
After a series of thunder and lightning explosions, another orc camp was blown to pieces. The orcs here were not much stronger than the defenders in front of the first camp.
The human army did not even change its routine. Giants and trebuchets threw heavy mines into the orc camp. Hundreds of mines and kerosene bombs together caused billowing smoke in the orc camp.
Generally speaking, the camps set up by orcs are treated with fire protection. The wooden fences are separated by soil, which is not easy to burn. There are many large water tanks in the camp specially used for fire fighting.
But the combination of kerosene bombs and thunder bombs into the orc camp produced a better effect. The flames and explosions could create greater chaos.
After several rounds of mines were used, the black smoke in the orc camp rolled up tens of meters high. Except for a few orcs trying to put out the fire, more orcs were like headless flies, looking for a place to escape the mines.
.
And when it reaches this level, the attacking humans will certainly not be polite. After the commander gives an order, the human soldiers rush forward with a roar.
After entering the camp, when encountering the chaotic orc soldiers in the camp, three to five people will immediately surround them and kill them. If they encounter a large number of people, more than a dozen people gathered together, they will immediately greet them with small thunder explosions.
The orcs who exploded with thunder still didn't make much progress. After being swept away, most of them didn't know how to avoid the damage of thunder. They always stood upright and withstood the attack of thunder.
"Line up!"
"Line up!"
"Humans are coming! Stop them!"
The orcs have no shortage of responsible officers and soldiers who dare to fight. As long as an officer takes the lead, the chaotic soldiers will immediately seem to have found a backbone. They will consciously join together and fight under his leadership. In a short time, hundreds of soldiers have gathered together.
Orc warrior.
"Thunder!"
"Throw!"
But they had to go hand-to-hand with the human army and had to overcome a difficulty. When they were about forty steps away, black thunder fell on the orc team, and the iron lumps fell densely like hail on the orc team.
, hitting the orc armor with a crisp "ding, clang" sound. If it hits the helmet, the force is stronger and it can directly knock the orc warrior unconscious.
Seeing the falling thunder, the orc warriors who had been huddled together began to dodge again. They had already seen the power of the thunder. They all knew that once this thing exploded, it would kill or maim people within a few meters of it. They didn't even face swords.
Thunder explosions are so scary.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
However, the fuse design of the mine explosion was very short, and it did not give the orcs much time to react after landing. It only took a second or two for it to explode.
This round of explosions killed and injured at least one or two hundred orc warriors. The number of orc warriors who had just grouped together to resist the attack of the human army suddenly decreased by one-third, and the team became sparse.
What's more important is the blow to the morale of the orcs. A group of orc warriors who finally gathered together and mustered up the courage to fight to the death were confused again by a round of explosions.
"kill!"
"Come after me!"
"boom!"
At this time, there was only twenty or thirty steps between the two sides, and there was no time to throw another round of thunder. The leading human knight ignited his fighting spirit first, and led his soldiers to rush into the hesitating orc team.
On one side were human soldiers with high morale, strict formation, and an absolute numerical advantage.
On one side was the orc army, which had not yet recovered from the thunderous explosion. Their morale was low, and their ranks were sparse and chaotic.
In this case, no matter how powerful the orcs' individual combat effectiveness is, they will still be unable to withstand the attack of human soldiers.
"clang!"
Although the orc warrior leading the team was not sent directly to the sky by the thunder, his appearance was very miserable, with blood stains and black ash on his face, as if he had emerged from a mine disaster.
The armor on his body was also damaged in many places, and blood overflowed from the armor from time to time. It was obvious that he had been injured by the previous mine explosion, and it was unknown whether his internal organs were directly damaged.
When the human soldiers rushed up, he was the first to react. He held up his battle ax and fought with the leading knight officer, and kept roaring in an attempt to boost morale.
The injured orc warrior's strength seemed to have increased a bit. When the two sides collided, the human knight was shaken by the opponent's battle ax and was numb.
In terms of strength alone, even if they are strong men of the same level, humans cannot compare to orcs.
However, the human knight obviously had no intention of dueling with the opponent. Next to him, another grudge was ignited, and a crusader with blood streaks on his armor was attracted. The long sword in his hand was still full of beads.
Seeping out, in just a minute or two, more than one orc might fall under his sword.
"clang!"
"Chi!"
"ah!"
The orc warrior who was targeted by the Scarlet Crusaders had little ability to resist. He pushed back the human knight who had just attacked him and then smashed his ax at the Scarlet Crusaders with all his strength, hoping to continue to gain the upper hand with his strength.
Unexpectedly, the Scarlet Crusaders, whose fighting and killing skills had reached an almost perfect level, simply refused to accept this trick and did not give him any chance.
The long sword easily removed the force of the battle axe, and then slashed it diagonally from a very strange angle, cutting off the orc warrior's arm.
The orc warrior immediately let out a scream. The Scarlet Crusaders were not in the habit of torturing their opponents. The scream was very short, not even more than a second.
The Crusader, who looked like he was covered in armor, was somewhat bulky, but he was quite agile. After drawing out his sword again, he penetrated the orc warrior's throat through the gap in his helmet, ending all the pain of the opponent.
"kill!"
"Come on!"
Several small groups of orc officers appeared in the camp, taking the lead in gathering soldiers to try to resist, but they were quickly overwhelmed.
Facing a large group of northern soldiers wearing blue and white armor, it would be difficult for the orc warriors to resist effectively even if their individual strength was much stronger.
Pickaxe, armor-breaking awl...
The Northland has a set of methods to target the heavily armored Orc warriors. The Orc warriors waved their battle axes and tried their best to resist, but with the cooperation of the Northland soldiers in twos and threes, they were very powerless. In the end, the Orc army in the camp appeared under the impact of the attacking human warriors.
A total rout...
The afterglow of the setting sun shines down
Several human soldiers climbed to the heights of the camp, roughly tore off the orc war flags and threw them to the ground. The soldiers who were watching the fun even stepped on them.
The golden three-arrow flag symbolizing the Hunter family in the North was hung at the highest point of the camp, which also meant that the camp was completely occupied by the human army.
When the Three Arrows flag was raised, the surrounding soldiers unconsciously cheered together. This was the sixth orc camp they had conquered today.
…
"The legion commander has an order to repair and restore the camp to prevent orc raids!"
"Hurry up and move the horse over here!"
"Over there, dig the trap again!"
It was getting late, and the left-wing army also stopped attacking under Gru's order and began to rest and digest the results of the battle.
These camps originally established by the orcs now became ready-made camps for the human army.
"It's terrible. It was blown up so badly before, but now we have to repair it. This damage is too severe. If I had known better, I wouldn't have blown such a big hole."
"What nonsense are you kidding? If we don't blow up the outer wall, if it's blocked by orcs, how many brothers will die."
Several human soldiers were carrying wooden stakes to repair the large holes in the camp that had been broken by thunder. The soldiers who drove the piles couldn't help but complained, and were immediately scolded by the captain.
"Hehe, let me just say this. The fact that we were able to capture so many orc camps today was not entirely due to the effect of thunder."
"I heard that even one of the great orc warriors was killed by a thunderstorm today, tsk tsk..."
At this stage, it is difficult for thunder bombs to pose a threat to a powerful warrior of the level of a great warrior. Being able to kill a great warrior can only be regarded as unlucky for the opponent, but these low-level soldiers do not know so much.
To them, great warriors and great knights are both superior beings. Killing small soldiers like them on the battlefield is almost as difficult as killing chickens. If they encounter them, they can only kill them.
It feels a little strange to be killed by a weapon like thunder that can be used by them.
"Captain, you said that the thunder is so powerful, is it still useful for us to exchange so many military achievements for a chance to become a knight..."
"Why is it useless! How many orc warriors can be killed by the thunder today? Don't we have to rely on the knights to go up and fight, if it happens to kill a great orc warrior, you won't take the knights seriously?"
"What if, I heard that this thunder is still being improved. The earliest thunder was much less powerful than now. Sometimes it couldn't even penetrate armor. Now it can kill a great samurai by chance. In the future,
Let’s do more research at the ordnance factory, and maybe we can kill the orc warrior directly without any chance.”
"You kid, you thought so much and used so many thunder bombs today, but in the end you rushed forward and fought to decide the outcome."
"The captain of the sixth team is from my hometown. When he charged, an orc warrior smashed his head open with an axe. If he had been a knight, he would not have to die today."
"Too…"
"Hurry up and work! We need to repair it here overnight, and we also need to add two rebel horses. The orcs have suffered such a big loss today, so we have to be careful about their counterattack."
"Yes, Captain!"
The emergence of thunder has affected the form of war to some extent, but it is far from enough to determine the direction of the battlefield. After all, the thunder in the North is equivalent to the level of the 17th and 18th centuries. Cold weapons of that era are still on the battlefield.
on the mainstream.
Today's great results were achieved not only because of the proper use of mines, but also because the orcs had no experience in dealing with them and were somewhat at a loss when faced with mines.
…
under night
The orc tent is brightly lit
"What are you doing on the left today? You lost six villages in a row in just one day, and you lost two to three thousand people."
"Master Great Shaman, humans have invested giants on the left wing, and there is also a new weapon that explodes like thunder when it hits the ground. It can also directly collapse the wall of the camp. Before each attack, humans will blow up the entire camp.
, we have already suffered heavy losses even before we started fighting.”
"Is there a physical version of mankind's new weapon?"
"have!"
"Bring it up!"
Soon two orc soldiers walked into the camp carrying two black mines.
A circle of orc generals gathered around him curiously.
A two-pound mine and a ten-pound mine are quite different in size. The same thing is that only half of the fuse is outside.
Many of the gunpowder weapons made in this era did not explode due to various reasons. One or two out of ten would not explode on the ground. Although the human army would recover the unexploded mines after the battle, if there are too many, it will not explode.
It was difficult to retrieve them all without missing a thing, but the orcs still easily obtained a few mines that did not explode.
"Your Excellency, Great Shaman, be careful, this thing's explosion is quite powerful."
Gro reached out and took out a two-pound thunderbolt, and the orc general next to him immediately reminded him.
However, with Gro's strength, even if a mine exploded in his hand, it would probably not be able to hurt him at all. A strong man of his level could be called a humanoid nuclear weapon in modern times, and conventional weapons would be difficult to harm him.
I took the thunderbolt and weighed it gently in my hand. I didn't feel any energy fluctuations. It was obviously not a magic product.
"how to use?"
"Just light the thread outside."
Without hesitation, Ge Luo led his men to the open space outside the tent and ordered them to light the thunder.
"boom!"
"boom!"
A two-kilogram thunderbolt and a ten-kilogram thunderbolt exploded respectively.
Each left a crater in place, and when the ten-pound thunder exploded, it lifted up all the surrounding wooden targets.
Seeing the power of the thunder explosion, the surrounding orc generals looked unhappy.
As generals leading the army, they naturally understand the significance of this weapon.
And Gro couldn't help but frowned and said:
"Trouble."
Items without any magic fluctuations can have the power of low-level magic items. If humans can make such weapons in large quantities, it will definitely not be good news for the orcs. Although this thing is not a big threat to real masters, it
When used in battle, the damage to ordinary soldiers is too great...
"First give it to the craftsmen and let them take it apart to see if there is any possibility of imitation."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Great Shaman."
Gro's first thought was to give the thunder to the craftsmen to try to imitate it, but without the gunpowder formula, this attempt can only be in vain. The orcs have already begun to imitate the divine crossbows obtained on the battlefield, but the thunder is not something that relies on cleverness.
A craftsman can figure it out.
"Sir Adriello, how much information can you provide about new human weapons?"
Later, Gro asked Adelillo again.
Of course, counterfeiting is not as fast as stealing directly.
But Adelillo shook his head.
Although the Rising Sun Cult has penetrated deeply into the kingdom, the Northland has always been blank. In the past, the Northland was not important. In addition, the Lanster family, the first family in the Northland, is a new nobleman who has nothing to do with the church.
The church was severely punished, and the Rising Sun Cult did not develop vigorously in the northern underground.
When the Northland became powerful enough to deserve attention, the church tried to do something, but found that the place was run like an iron barrel by the Hunter family and could not penetrate at all.
They were able to obtain some information on large-scale military mobilizations. After all, it was difficult for large-scale military mobilizations to leave no trace, but places like the research valley of the ordnance factory were simply not accessible to ordinary spies.
"That's all, let the craftsmen try to imitate it first, and then let the officers who have experienced mine explosions come over, and we can discuss how to deal with it."
Grotto sighed, if he couldn't get it right, he could only rely on the lives of soldiers to try and make mistakes.
