Chapter 1014 Siege Master (2)
At this moment, Karadin Dark Iron's heart is undoubtedly broken.
Not to mention a primitive man like him, even if John Sal was standing here, his mind would probably explode.
Who would have thought that Luo Ji still had such an army of snipers in his hands?
The special item of magic arrow can be said to be one of the signature features of the elf civilization. Only the elf craftsmen of the high elves can make it, and the gray elves may also be able to.
During the battle with John Sal and the others, Luo Ji had the elf archers use the burst arrows and the lightning arrows, but they didn't use the wind-chasing arrows!
When he was chatting with Ye Qingxuan before, he had said that he would never do anything he was not sure about.
This sentence, he is not bragging.
After all, the existence of the chasing arrows is enough for the elven archers to conduct long-range sniping and deprive the defense firepower on the opposite wall in one breath!
The obvious reduction in the defensive firepower made Gawain's offensive even more aggressive.
With an order, taking advantage of the cooling time of the cannon, the entire siege force directly pushed forward another fifty meters.
"Aim at the city gate and smash it for me!!"
The closer the distance, the more ferocious the power of the artillery bombardment.
Coupled with the double destructive power BUFF blessing of Gawain's 'siege master' and 'siege technique'.
Even John Sall's well-made armored plate city gate began to visibly deform after a baptism of artillery bombardment.
If it wasn't for the time it took for the cannon to cool down after firing, then this city gate would probably have been completely smashed by Gawain in one breath, right?
In a city, it is impossible to have only a few artillerymen. If a group of artillerymen die during the battle, they will inevitably need to be replaced.
While the cannons on the opposite side were cooling down, Karadin Black Iron, the general of the defense, commanded the reserve dwarf artillery to control the cannons on the wall, trying to regroup.
Of course, it was impossible for Gawain to give them this chance, and he directly signaled the elf archer to continue suppressing the wall.
During this period, in order to thoroughly clarify this matter, Kaladin Hei Tie also held up a telescope and carefully glanced outside.
Then the whole face suddenly showed a ghostly expression.
If he read it right, there seems to be an army of archers on the opposite side, bending bows and arrows at a position nearly 500 meters away from his city wall? !
Depend on! What are you kidding? Are you using a bow or a sniper rifle? This range is too bullying, right? !
If John Sal was standing on the wall now, nine times out of ten, he would be mad like this.
As for Karadin Black Iron, who had seen this scene with his own eyes, he obviously couldn't understand this supernatural magic power.
But in any case, what can be confirmed now is that this battle is no longer easy to fight, and the horn city where he sits cannot resist the bombardment of the opposite artillery!
After realizing this, Kaladin Dark Iron took a deep breath.
The current situation left him with no choice.
"Let all the soldiers gather at the city gate, then open the city gate and go out to meet!!"
The dwarf army lined up in the army formation directly came out of the horn city, and the dwarf heavy armored infantry troops and the dwarf battle axe troops took the lead in charging.
The distance between the two sides was less than 300 meters. At this time, Gao Wen obviously did not intend to fight too much.
Seeing the dwarf army coming up, he decisively retreated with the siege troops, and the elf archers and goblin crossbowmen also did not hesitate to suppress the dwarf army that charged up.
During this period, the orc vanguard army and the main human army in the rear were also lined up, and they cut off the path of the dwarf army neatly.
With Du Yuanzhi, the miraculous military division, the commanding task of the main force basically did not require Gao Wen to worry about it. Using the sound of the horn as a signal, the well-trained Terran troops quickly formed a rush formation and directly fought with the dwarf army. a group.
Intense flames of war were spreading on the battlefield. As a powerful general, Karadin Black Iron naturally waved the battle axe in his hand and took the lead in charging all the way, showing quite astonishing bravery.
On this side, Guo Zhen, who is also a general of the vanguard army, resolutely greeted him.
Between the tomahawks, just one face-to-face and one round of fights, they already realized the difficulty of the opponent in front of them.
A fierce battle began.
During this period, Gawain, who had retreated to the periphery of the battlefield with the siege troops, raised the telescope in his hand and carefully observed the situation in the main battlefield.
Just like what their majesty said, Du Yuanzhi is capable, the command of the human army basically does not need him to bother, and the attack of the orc army is even more aggressive.
However, before this siege battle officially started, it was after a month of mobilization of troops. During this period, the John Sal on the opposite side was obviously not idle.
While the dwarves in the City of Destiny were digging trenches, they also mobilized a lot of troops from the dwarf cities in the rear to the front line.
The population of dwarf civilization is not large, but it is definitely not related to scarcity.
If I insist, it should be stuck in the middle, almost to the level of 'ordinary'.
At a glance, Gawain estimated that there were tens of thousands of troops coming out of the city to meet them.
Originally, he wanted to rely on his own means to make a good start by surprise, to capture the enemy's border city on the first day, and to show his value and means as a goblin king.
But looking at the current situation, under the premise that the other party takes the initiative to go out of the city to fight them to the death, it is difficult for his siege troops to open fire. As a result, it becomes a little difficult to break the city in a short time.
And the fact is indeed the case. In a battle, they fought until the evening. The muscles of the dwarves on the opposite side are not fake. Not only are they strong, they are also quite strong.
It's completely a posture where you either retreat or continue to fight to the end.
Faced with such a situation, Gawain rubbed his chin and pondered for a while.
On their side, except for the Boar Infantry, the other Orcs have no night vision.
Then, considering the physical consumption of the human, elves, and goblin troops, Gawain finally decided to retreat for the time being.
On the other side, Karadin Dark Iron, who also withdrew to the city, after confirming the casualty report during the day that night, hurriedly wrote an emergency report and sent it directly to the main city of dwarf civilization.
At the same time, a notice was posted directly in the city of Horn, and the recruitment of adult male dwarves who had served in the city was started.
And let all the dwarf blacksmiths in the city start forging weapons and armor overnight.
Obviously, the method of 'military service' was not only used by Luo Ji.
In the current situation, for Karadin Black Iron, if he wants to defend Horn City, he can only fight with his troops.
But the strength of the troops in the city alone is not enough, so he can only recruit soldiers from the reserve!
