Chapter 440： artillery battle

"Order the artillery to aim at the small phalanx of the orcs, and destroy them with solid bullets!" Daelin issued an order to the human soldiers.

At the same time, Alleria also issued orders to the elf mages. As soon as the orcs enter the range of the magic attack, the elf mage will immediately release the wind blow to blow away their fog of war, and the fog of war must not be allowed to cover the attack range of the elf ranger and elf arcane attack magician again.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

The cannons boomed, and the human gunners fought back frantically.

The orc's catapult is not very accurate, and the accuracy of the human's front-mounted artillery is also not very good. The orc iron shield phalanx is composed of small units. The targets are too small and they are also very cunning. After seeing the human gunners, they no longer walk in a straight line but walk in a zigzag, making it difficult for the human gunners to lock the target.

The sound of this front-mounted artillery of humans is indeed scary, but there are actually only three types of attack ammunition.

One is shotgun, also called grape bullets, which is a bag of iron beads, which are scattered into pieces when shot out, but the range is not far, that is, a little longer than the range of bows and arrows, and is mainly used to deal with large groups of charging enemies. But this kind of shotgun can penetrate the shield at medium and long distances, although it can still penetrate the plate clip.

The other is a solid bullet, which is fixed as a big iron ball like a shot put. It has a long range and is mainly used to destroy solid fortifications and ships.

The last one is the chain bomb, which is a long iron chain. Most of the time it is used to deal with the sails of warships, so that the sailboats lose power and are passively beaten. However, in such a battle of defending the city, the use of this kind of chain bomb is not very effective.

Now both sides are engaged in fierce long-range artillery battles. Human artillery is attacking the advancing orc iron shield phalanx, while orc catapults are also attacking all targets on the city wall.

The orcs took advantage of the artillery battle, because the walls couldn't be moved, and the Alliance soldiers were on top of the walls.

The sound of cannons, the impact of heavy objects, the shouting of orders by officers, and the screams of soldiers constitute the theme song of this **** hell.

Dai Lin gritted his teeth angrily when he saw groups of human soldiers being thrown to death by the catapult shells knocked down the city wall. He felt really aggrieved, obviously he could knock down the opponent's catapult now, but he couldn't do it because the timing was not enough, he could only watch many of his soldiers being knocked off the city wall and fell to death.

The orcs had the upper hand in the artillery battle between the two sides, but the fog of war of the orcs also stopped beyond the range of the bows and arrows, and they were useless.

Creation is not as fast as destruction, not to mention that the number of orc shamans is not as large as that of elf mages, and so many artillery on the city wall are aimed at them, so they dare not stay in one place for too long.

The two sides were in a stalemate for nearly an hour. Many human soldiers died on the Alliance side, and more than 20 orc iron shield fortresses were destroyed by solid bullets from human artillery, but overall the Allies suffered a big loss.

Gradually, the ice bullets of the orcs gradually decreased, as if they were also tired, many ice bullets fell on the base of the outer city wall.

"What the **** are the orcs doing?" Habayashi Xueying said strangely: "Why is it getting more and more inaccurate? Could the catapult be tired too?"

"What did you just say?" Alleria asked suddenly.

"I said why the orc's catapults became more and more inaccurate? This is really strange! A lot of ice cubes were thrown on the city wall or into the city just now, but now most of them are only thrown under the outer city wall. You said Is it strange?"

Dai Lin and the others took a closer look at it for a while.

"Not good! The orcs may be testing bombs!" Daelin shouted.

"Archer Mage, prepare for battle," Alleria gave the order directly, regardless of what the orcs wanted to do.

Sure enough, after a while, the orcs threw **** of smoking shells. After hitting the thick wall of the city wall, the shells shattered into countless fist-sized, smoking objects.

Then the orcs hit the base of the city wall with bundles of weeds that were tied with stones or other heavy objects and emitted thick white smoke. After the weeds touched the smoking broken fire, more thick white smoke appeared. cigarette.

As the thin man brought more and more weeds, the thick white smoke rising outside the city wall gradually formed a barrier that blocked the line of sight.

"Order the mages to release the blizzard and quickly put out the smoke under the wall?" Habayashi Bloodhawk turned his head and asked Cirvanas quietly.

"No! The blizzard casts large icicles to put out the fire, but the smoke is more difficult. The orcs only need to block our sight for a short period of time. Their soldiers can rush under the city wall under the cover of thick smoke , or their warlocks can also hide under the wall and summon demons to the city wall, just like this morning." Sylvanas said.

"Then what should we do?" Habayashi Xueying asked.

"Order the mage to release the Rain of Fire spell below the city wall!" Alleria's command replaced Cirvanas' answer.

Following Alleria's order, the ancient and desolate spells of the elf mages floated. Soon, pieces of splendid rain of flames descended on the places under the city wall where thick smoke was rising.

The arrival of large pieces of rain of fire, UU Reading caused a large number of weeds thrown by the orcs below the city to ignite a fire. In the fire, countless orcs who quickly advanced under the city wall while the smoke was blocking them wailed inside.

Habayashi Xueying wiped the cold sweat off his head. I thought they were the best, since the orcs threw incendiary objects to create thick smoke to cover the infantry attacking the city, they simply used flame magic to burn all those objects to create a isolation zone. Listening to the sound now, there are quite a few orc soldiers who were burned.

"Order the Griffon Knight to take off with the incendiary bomb, and target the orc iron shield phalanx." Alleria then gave another order.

"There is so much smoke, the Griffon Knights and the others can't see it!" said Habayashi Xueying.

"I don't care! As much as I can destroy." Alleria said.

"Order the artillery to switch to shotguns and attack down the city, as close and fast as possible! The orcs have already attacked under the cover of smoke." Dai Lin also urgently issued an order.

Seeing the orders being issued one by one, Habayashi Xueying was still uneasy. This arrangement can indeed block a large number of orc infantry's attacks, but it basically does no harm to the orc shamans and warlocks under the protection of heavy shields. The magic flames and the bundles of burning weeds here and there did not do much to the orcs protected by the beast iron shield fortress.

To break the orc's iron shield phalanx, you need to use flowing fire oil that sticks to people. It burns when touched, even a piece of iron will burn, and it takes a lot of kerosene to break it. Or you can summon hellfire and drop it directly into the phalanx like an orc to break through forcibly, but there is currently no warlock profession in the elf army.

It is of course possible to directly hit the solid bullets of the artillery, but now the smoke makes people want to cry when they open their eyes, let alone seeing and aiming at the opponent's iron shield phalanx.
