Chapter 401: Offensive and Defensive Warfare of Fort Nisesi (Ⅰ)

"Did you see the hill across from it?" General Jumonville pointed forward. "From our perspective, the hill is almost flush with the hill where the enemy fortress is located, and the line between the two hills Within 300 yards."
"It is true, what are you going to do?"
"If we set up a siege position on that hill, is it possible to directly suppress the defensive position directly opposite with the trebuchet and bow and arrow?"
"The trebuchet has sufficient range and the height is appropriate, but the trebuchet is bulky and too heavy. It takes a lot of manpower and time to be transported to the hill, and there is almost no obstruction on the bare hill. We have action here. The enemy sentry will surely find out for the first time, and then we can only carry the trebuchet against the arrows projected from the opposite side, and it is inevitable to pay huge casualties."
Antonioni glanced deeply at the fortress of Nisesi.
"As for the archer, even if he climbs the hill, it has no effect. The range of 300 yards has exceeded the arm strength limit of most soldiers of our army. Most of the arrows shot in the past will be blocked by the city walls, and occasionally there are so few arrows. Crossing the city wall will not cause too much threat to the defenders."
General Jumonville nodded and looked at Alpha: "What do you think?"
"I think it's worth trying!"
The brown eyes of the Jackal Queen shone with excitement.
"We, the Jackals, are taller than humans, have longer wingspans, and more strength! With the same longbow, your human archer can only shoot 250 yards, but our Jackal Warriors can easily shoot 300 yards away. , With the "burst arrow" and "burning arrow" filled with alchemy drugs, enough to suppress the enemy defenders squatting behind the city wall and dared not look up!"
"The Lord General can take this opportunity to send someone to push the trebuchet onto the hill, used to throw boulders or filled with a large amount of alchemical gunpowder "demolition barrel", destroy the enemy's wall, and pierce a long drive through the passage for our army!"
General Jumonville smiled with satisfaction, taking off his gloves and gently wiping the brass casing of the telescope.
"Ms. Alpha, did you prepare for the 3 ring divine ‘plant growth’ today?

Alpha was stunned for a moment, somewhat at a loss.
She is a 9th-level ranger. She has the ability to perform three loops of natural magic. But the "plant growth" magic is relatively unpopular, and it is rarely used on the battlefield. She does not understand why General Jumonville suddenly mentioned it. This magic.
"I didn't prepare in advance, but you can rest assured that I have a scroll!"
"That's good." General Jumonville smiled slightly and pointed to the hill with scarce vegetation in front. "If the low and sparse shrubs on the hill can grow rapidly and flourish, it will effectively block the launch of the defender in the fortress opposite. The arrows coming here provide a favorable shelter for our siege troops and greatly reduce the casualties. Ms. Alpha, what do you think?"
"Thank you, Lord General, for your guidance, I know what to do next!" Alpha's eyes shone.
...
At 9:30 a.m. on October 1, the Jackal Corps received an order from Alpha to gather towards the hill near the fortress of Nisesi in units of the war group.
At the same time, the Hawks incarnation of Joan are conducting aerial reconnaissance. Of course, the enemy’s mobilization of this fanfare, but of course he can’t hide his eyes, hastened to use "wind communication" to report to the Lieutenant Colonel Vasa on the abnormal movements of the enemy.
He had just begun to cast spells here, and suddenly found that the ground was a bit off, and looked down carefully, almost suspecting that his eyes were hallucinating.
The hill where the jackals gathered was a mess of rock, and there were low shrubs growing in the gaps between the bare rocks. However, the vegetation on the hill was changing rapidly at a rate visible to the human eye. The shrubs grow like crazy with hormones and spread wildly.
Within two minutes, the bare hills were covered with dense trees. The green shade that covered the sky was impenetrable, and more than 500 jackals gathered on the hills were covered by dense foliage and disappeared. In the depths of boundless greenery.
The miracle of barren hills turning into woods was so quietly staged in front of Joan, making him deeply perplexed when he was shocked, and could not understand what was going on.
Rubbing his eyes vigorously, Joan confirmed that what had just happened was not an illusion, and forced himself to calm down and think about the source behind this strange thing.
Turning a desolate hill into green in just a few minutes is obviously a magical power, and among all types of spells, the best at changing vegetation is natural magic.
Joan remembered that Kandy once said that the
ring of harvest
druids and rangers often use a special magic to increase the yield of crops and ensure a good harvest of cereals and fruit forests.
In addition to applications in the agricultural field, this three-loop natural magical technique called "plant growth" can also be used to improve the environment, allowing sparse vegetation to quickly grow lush vegetation.
The scene in front of him convinced Joan that there was at least one natural magic spellcaster in the enemy's camp. The purpose of this person's spellcasting to thicken the hill vegetation was also obvious.
Under the cover of dense foliage, the jackals standing on the hill can ignore the arrows, bullets and even stones projected from the opposite Nisesi fortress, and they can easily counterattack with a long bow and shoot a dense locust-like arrow. To the defenders stationed on the walls.
Joan hurriedly completed the "Windsurgery", informed Lieutenant Colonel Vaasa of what he saw, and then photographed himself a "defense enchantment", flying back to the fortress at the risk of being hit by Liuya.
At this time, both sides of the attack and defense occupied a hill, and launched a fierce mutual shot 300 yards away.
Judging from the heights of the two hills, the defender of the fortress of Nisesi occupies a slightly higher terrain. Unfortunately, this advantage has been offset by the dense trees growing out of the sky on the opposite hill, and the defender cannot see 300 yards. Arrows and bullets fired by enemies hiding in the woods will lose sight.
In contrast, the vegetation near the Nisesi fortress has long been cleared, and the masonry walls are so conspicuous. The city guards stand on the head of the city. Everyone is a living target, and the jackal longbowmen across the forest can calmly take it easy. Aim to sniper.
The two sides shot each other for several rounds, and the defending side suffered a great loss, and no less than 20 people were injured in the arrow. The officers and soldiers who took the wounded to the top of the city also had to hide behind the tower shield, and they were hit by a wave of arrows rain on the opposite side. I have to look up.
The arrow rain fired by the jackals was also mixed with a few special arrows. The hollow arrow tube was filled with alchemy gunpowder and exploded violently on the landing. The "flame glue" emitted from the hollow wall would continue to burn even if it was attached to the stone wall.
If it touches people, it is even more terrible, and even the water can’t be poured, it can only be buried by pouring sand on the body, isolating the air and extinguishing the flame.
