The Origin of Arcane

Andis Longbow has been blown a bit miraculously in the Byron League recently.

Those who have actually used it know very well that this kind of longbow is relatively bulky, inconvenient to carry, and has low accuracy. If you want to do precise shooting or hunting, it is definitely not a good choice.

But when a large number of longbowmen gather to form an army formation, especially when defending the city, it does have its own unique features, especially when there are enough arrows, once the arrow rain is formed, the lethality it will display is quite terrifying.

If you look down from the air, you will find that the arrow rain of Hukou Fort not only originates from the city walls and arrow towers, but also includes the interior of the fortress, and is thrown out at a large angle.

This means that it can fully mobilize its defensive forces.

Hukou Fort's current garrison personnel have reached saturation, with more than 4,300 people. Under normal conditions, only 1,500 to 1,800 people are on the wall for defense, and the rest are used as rotating reserves.

The Andis longbow is suitable for projectile, so that these reserve soldiers can act as temporary longbowmen in the city, bringing damage to the siege personnel at medium and short distances.

What is the concept of more than three thousand longbowmen showing their power at the same time?

Even if they are not professional longbowmen, it is no problem to shoot three bows in a row within ten seconds.

Tens of thousands of sharp arrows smashed into the already chaotic Odin orc siege team, and the damage caused was more terrifying than the black powder kegs thrown by the trebuchet.

After all, there are only eighteen trebuchets placed on Hukou Fort.

The operation of this thing is relatively cumbersome, and the rate of fire is very unsatisfactory.

It takes more than a minute to send out every minute.

If the Odin orcs can overcome the fear in their hearts, they will find this fatal flaw when they charge forward.

On average, the lethality of the black powder keg is just that, completely within the acceptable range.

The Odin orcs said that they were defeated by the terrifying explosion power of the black powder keg, rather than being dominated by the fear in their hearts.

No matter what the reason is, if it collapses, it collapses.

Once collapsed, in a short time, it will be difficult to gather courage again.

The Odin orcs without morale are no longer a group of ferocious wolves, but a group of lambs at the mercy of others.

Ah! Veteran Jim looked at the Odin orcs who left thousands of corpses and retreated in embarrassment, hammered the city wall fiercely, and sighed indignantly.

Amidst the cheers, this sigh was particularly piercing.

What's the matter? Uncle Jim, we just won a brilliant victory, which is something to be happy about. Why are you sighing? Jemiler blushed with excitement.

A recruit like him is most likely to be inspired by such things.

This is definitely a brilliant victory.

From the beginning to the end, the Odin orcs had no chance to launch a serious attack on the walls of Hukoubao.

The soldiers defending Hukoubao had a zero death rate. Only a dozen or so unlucky ones were accidentally shot by arrows thrown up by the opponent. Most of them were not fatal. At most, their heads were bleeding or a few bones were broken. .

The archery skills of the Odin orc wolves are amazing, but their weapons are really weak.

This naturally made them rejoice.

The more powerful the weapons in their hands, the greater their chances of surviving the war.

Let's miss this great opportunity. If we have three thousand elite cavalry, no, even if you give me one thousand, the gates of the city will be wide open, and we will follow them to kill them. It will not only be as simple as repelling their attack, but They can even directly step on their main line, drive them back to the grassland like sheep, and at that time, the damage caused will not be as simple as a thousand people. The more veteran Jim said, the more resentful he became, What a pity! such a pity!

This is a rare opportunity, if you miss this time.

When the Odin orcs regroup and attack again, it may be difficult for the black powder keg to exert its power to intimidate the soul.

Impossible, there are tens of thousands of Odin orcs out there! Jemiler didn't believe what Jim said, even if the opponent was a veteran of many battles.

What do recruits know? Only soldiers with morale are called soldiers. Without morale, no matter how well-equipped they are, they are still a group of farmers in armor. Know what is called sheep-driving tactics? Jim was very dissatisfied with Jemiler's questioning.

I don't know. Jemiler honestly shook his head. His background and experience gave him no chance to get in touch with this area.

The tactic of driving sheep is to drive those defeated soldiers and drive them to attack their rear. These feared soldiers will spread this negative emotion to their companions and let them run with them, just like a flock of sheep blindly follow. The leader walked like a sheep, and he didn't know why he did it, which led to a big collapse.

Previously, General Pedro led the Broken Blood Cavalry to raid the Miracle Peninsula, and he used this tactic to the extreme, taking advantage of the fear of the herdsmen and serfs, criss-crossing the land with millions of enemies, trampling them to death. Jim pouted, his eyes filled with envy that couldn't be concealed.

Joining the Broken Blood Cavalry is the biggest dream of every Broken Pulse soldier. Although he can be called an elite, there is still a long way to go before joining the Broken Blood Cavalry.

It's a pity that we are not as powerful as the Broken Blood Cavalry. Jemiler still couldn't imagine what Jim said, and attributed part of the credit to the Broken Blood Cavalry's own force.

Idiot, it's useless to tell you too much. After Jim vented his anger, he sat back under the battlements again, Now you can rest in peace, this new weapon from the leader of the Eternal Night Army is more powerful than I imagined. The power is even greater. Now it is estimated that those Odin orcs are also frightened. They will not summon up the courage to continue attacking for a day and a half. It won't be over for a while, and there is still more to come!

Based on the situation just now, no matter how many Odin orcs there are, they are still not enough to die. Jemiler squatted back imitating the example.

At this time, he realized that he was relieved, his legs and feet were a little weak, and he was trembling involuntarily.

The battle just now didn't last long, but every string in his body was tense, causing a lot of wasted physical strength.

Aren't your legs weak? It's normal. Everyone came here like this. It's good to go through two more games. Jim threw another handful of beef jerky to Jemiler, and began to chew on his own.

Jamil couldn't help staring at his chest for a few times, how many of these things did he carry in his arms? At critical times, I wonder if it can be used as a layer of armor?

Jamil did not refuse the other party's kindness, because he found that this method can not only replenish physical strength, but also distract himself, so that his spirit will not be so tense, and thus relieve his body and mind.

Jim continued: Don't think about things so optimistically. Whether it's the black powder barrel or the number of longbows and arrows, they are all limited. According to the consumption rate of the war just now, it won't last for a few days. Look, the city Someone outside has already started cleaning the battlefield.

While they were talking, the gate of Hukou Fort had been opened.

Hundreds of pulse-broken soldiers rushed out swaggeringly.

The previous make-up knife harvested those Odin orcs who hadn't died yet, and didn't have the slightest intention of taking prisoners.

Those behind were collecting arrows, no matter whether they were intact or damaged, even the arrows from the Odin orc corpse were dug out by them.

Apparently, the chief general of Broken Blood Castle is also preparing for a protracted battle.

After all, there are too many Odin orcs, and it is not easy to completely defeat them.

The general of Hukoubao didn't realize that it was an excellent opportunity to attack just now, but unfortunately they didn't have cavalry in their hands.

If you use infantry to attack, you won't be able to use sheep-driving tactics at all, and you may be slowed down by the Odin orcs to make dumplings.

The most important point of the sheep-driving tactics is to try to make the rout soldiers have no time to think and eliminate the fear in their hearts.

This kind of situation not only happened in Hukou Fort, but also in the hundreds of kilometers around Broken Blood Fort, and the fort castles that were attacked all had similar situations.

Facing the new weapons added to the Duanmai defense line, the cannon fodder for the first wave of attack was defeated.

However, the Duanmai defense line lacks cavalry, and the number is far from that of the opponent. There is no way to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle.

He could only watch helplessly as the Odin orc retreated and regained his strength.

For a while, a stalemate was formed.

The Odin orcs surrounded but did not fight, and the broken line of defense could only wait passively.

On the contrary, there was no battle at the Broken Blood Fort, the core of the entire Broken Pulse defense line.

It's not that this place is not besieged, on the contrary, this is where the main force of the Theodin Empire's army is located, and the essence of the entire Tiger Clan Royal Court is here.

Standing on the watchtower on the first wall of Broken Blood Fortress and looking out, the goal is a cowhide tent that can't be seen at the end.

Although the two sides are in a confrontation, they are not as calm as they appear.

In the sky above Broken Blood Fort, there are messenger eagles flying all over the sky.

Around the army of Theodin Empire, various messengers and sentries shuttled back and forth.

The broken line of defense and the scattered tribes are all tentacles stretched out by them, and they are competing through here.

In terms of the speed of message transmission alone, the Theodin Empire is obviously several grades behind.

Broken Blood Castle has received news and made new adjustments, and the news from Theodin Empire has just arrived long overdue.

No matter what important information they passed on, it was already too late.

Even if it is the main defense of Broken Blood Fort and the main attack of Theodin Empire.

Broken Blood Fort still took advantage of poor intelligence and dealt several ruthless blows to Theodin Empire.

Broken Blood Castle also has an elite cavalry that is the best in the world.

They have no way to support places like Hukou Fort that are too far away from Broken Blood Fort.

But those who are relatively close to the Broken Blood Castle can go there.

Just as veteran Jim predicted, after being robbed of courage and soul by black powder.

The broken blood cavalry that suddenly poured out from the pass, whether it was a thousand or three thousand, all played the most classic sheep-driving tactics.

Those Odin orcs who fell into fear lost their most basic judgment, and they couldn't tell how many blood knights there were.

The Odin orc tribe, which was several times larger than the Broken Blood Cavalry, was shattered by the impact, and fled to the north in a panic.

Those who died under the sword of the Broken Blood Cavalry were a small number, and more died of chaotic trampling and killing.

When intelligent beings are dominated by fear, their behavior patterns will become very chaotic. In their eyes, anyone who hinders them from escaping is an enemy.

Especially when most of the people who were driven as forwards were herdsmen of the Eastern Odin Empire, and they themselves still had hatred for the Western Odin Empire, it was not uncommon for some people to take advantage of the chaos to retaliate.

Broken Blood Cavalry is a clever use of this.

They took advantage of their intelligence and moved back and forth, three in and three out, among the numerous armies of the Theodin Empire, causing nearly a hundred thousand Odin orcs to scatter into the prairie, and it was difficult to organize them again in a short time.

When the army of Theodin Empire got the news and was about to encircle and suppress, they had already used the various passes to withdraw to the south of the Broken Vein Line of Defense.

In this complex coordinated battle, with the assistance of the Yong Ye army leader, the initial establishment of the Blood Fortress Staff Headquarters played a role that cannot be ignored.

Behind each broken blood cavalry, there are more than two military staff members supporting them to help them collect and pass on information, so as to achieve the goal of joint operations.

This somewhat private military staff department became the permanent residence of Grand Duke Cedric.

He spends half of his time squatting here every day, but his understanding of the entire pulse-breaking defense line is far superior to his previous running around the world.

The entire battle situation, in the form of a sand table, appeared in front of him.

The door of the military staff department was suddenly pushed open, and General Esmond, who still had the marks of fighting on his armor, strode in, shook his head at Grand Duke Cedric, and said, There is no chance to attack, every tribe Behind them, there is an elite staring at them. They have already found a way to deal with them. The ears of the war horses are plugged up. He directly rode his horse and stepped over, his level of viciousness was no worse than ours, once he was entangled by them, it would be over, please give your majesty an order to take back all the blood cavalry.

Grand Duke Cedric did not answer Esmond directly, but turned to look at the middle-aged man beside him and said, Chief of Staff, what do you think?

This middle-aged man is none other than Bran, the main chief of staff dispatched by the Eternal Night Commander to Blood Fortress. Judging from the attitude shown by Grand Duke Cedric, he has already established his own in Blood Fortress. prestige.

At the same time, it also reflects the extraordinary tolerance of Grand Duke Cedric. As long as he has the ability, he doesn't mind the other party's background.

This is determined by the characteristics of the pulse-breaking line of defense.

Their sources of soldiers come from the All Byron Alliance, they have non-stop living habits, and some are even problematic personnel.

If there is not enough inclusiveness, how can we organize them into a whole for our own use?

Including the Andeans who have just risen are no exception. As long as they can use them for themselves, strengthen the combat effectiveness of the broken line of defense, and hold a hostile state against the Odin orcs, Grand Duke Cedric will never treat them differently.

The last point, the leader of the Eternal Night Army has already proved this point with his own actions - Oyuntana, the queen of the Theodin Empire, was handed over to the Broken Blood Fortress.

You must know that the process of capturing Queen Aoyuntana by the leaders of the Eternal Night Army was very lucky and secretive. Even if they secretly seized it and made secret deals with the Theodin Empire, Broken Blood Fortress would not know anything about it.

Brann's main chief of staff replied without thinking: I agree with General Esmond. Ulan Baz is a difficult opponent. We have the upper hand because he doesn't know our details. Now Many things have already been tested by him, and he may deliberately set a trap at some point. They have a large number of people and a high fault tolerance rate. minor injury.

If we lose 10,000 to 20,000 blood cavalry, it will be a traumatic thing for us.

The point of this battle is to procrastinate. As long as it drags on for the first half of the year, the advantage of the huge army of Theodin Empire will become their biggest disadvantage, dragging them down alive. At that time, we will have an excellent opportunity to fight back.

That's what I mean too. General Esmond nodded repeatedly.
