Chapter 1284: "·The War of the Empire·Seven"

There is no lie in the world where no one believes, and there is no one who does not believe or only believes in lies.
Stalin (one of the important leaders of the former Soviet Union)
After the first test firing, the commander of the Eastern Crossbow continued to order: "Fill the arrows, and each group calibrates the shooting angle by themselves!"
"ignition!"
"Get ready, shoot!"
"Boo!" "Boo!" "Boo!"...
Another sound of breaking the sky sounded, forty-eight giant arrows burning lilac flames again flew towards the advancing enemy siege equipment; this time, the rocket's shooting accuracy was much higher than last time, almost Rockets were plugged into each siege tower and siege cone.
At the same time, the three teams of six ballistas assigned to the Second Division also fired their first wave of artillery shells; because the first wave of rockets fired by the Oriental Crossbow successfully destroyed a large number of enemy siege equipment, Therefore, after shooting two waves of rockets, the ballista troops no longer shoot rockets.
The main function of the rocket is to destroy enemy siege equipment. Its lethality is not even as good as ordinary arrows, let alone the shells that are not inferior to the enchanted giant arrows. Seeing that the threat of enemy siege equipment is eliminated, The highly autonomous ballista commander changed his weapon.
Six rounds of cannonballs flew into the crowded orc, and six small, clearly visible open areas were slammed; the orc that was directly hit became flesh on the spot, and the orc was affected. It was half smashed to death and half smashed to cripple.
However, the orcs are orcs after all, and their fierceness is not comparable to that of human beings; those orcs who have been smashed into cripples do not lie and groan helplessly on the spot, but endure the pain and pick up their own weapons, themselves End your life.
After all the siege equipment of the orc army was destroyed, the equipment soldiers who controlled the oriental crossbow also changed their arrows from rockets to enchanted giant arrows; these enchanted giant arrows with the wind magic circle, speed and The lethality is amazing.
The enchanted giant arrow, about two meters thick and fist-like, was fired more than twice as fast as the previous rocket, so that the guards on the wall only saw forty-eight silver lights shot at the orcs outside the camp. It is impossible to see clearly how the enchanted giant arrow looks.
A strong and powerful kobold warrior saw a silver ray of light in front of his eyes, and subconsciously raised the heavy wooden shield in his hand; as a result, the wooden shield in his hand turned into fragments in the next second, his own chest There was also a big hole with a big bowl.
The kobold warrior, who felt a sharp chest pain, bowed his head hard and glanced at his chest, and then fell helplessly; at the moment he fell, the last sound he heard seemed to burst. ll.
"Goodong." Listening to the uniform swallowing of his entourage, he was also the first time to see McGovern's powerful enchanted arrows, and he swallowed a spit involuntarily, his eyes straightened.
The shot of the enchanted giant arrows, each of which has penetrated at least the chest of dozens of orc warriors before stopping. This is not the full power of the enchanted giant arrows; the enchanted giant arrows inserted on the chest of the last orc warrior , And it will explode soon, and then dozens of wind blades that burst out will cut all other orcs within three meters of this orc warrior into pieces!
A single enchanted giant arrow with a cost of more than 500 gold coins killed more than 20 orcs. Such a scene made McGovern who felt that the cost of the enchanted giant arrow was too high and did not dare to ask for it. A few slaps.
Forty-eight oriental crossbows attached to the Second Division, after the strengthening of this period, there were only 1,200 enchanted giant arrows, which was only enough for 25 volleys; twenty-five times seemed like a lot, but God knows how long this war will last, so where is such a big enchanted arrow!
War is the principle of burning money, and it is most vividly reflected in the production and use of enchanted giant arrows; forty-eight enchanted giant arrows in a volley, the cost is 24,000 gold coins, which is the exhaustion of most small and nobles in most empires. Property that cannot be owned.
Of course, the lethality of this kind of money-burning weapon is also amazing. For 24,000 gold coins for the death of more than one thousand orcs on the spot, this account is cost-effective; more importantly, the enchanted giant arrows kill a large number of orcs. At the same time, the improvement of the morale of the defending army is also significant.
After a brief shock, the soldiers on the city wall quickly burst into applause for the great power of the enchanted giant arrow; but the fierce and fearless orcs would not be scared by some casualties, after all, how powerful is the enchanted giant arrow Huge will not be more terrifying than the magician.
The Eastern Crossbow's volley with an enchanted giant arrow has just been carried out for two rounds. The orc rushing to the front has already rushed to the foot of the city wall; because of the shooting angle, the range of the Eastern Crossbow is 150 meters to 300 meters, so the enchantment The giant arrow can't kill the orcs who rushed to the foot of the wall.
The ordinary bows and arrows equipped in the Imperial Army have no effect on the orcs with amazing skin defense; the reason why Bai Feng deployed a large number of archers in the fortress barracks he built was because he ordered people to develop new types that could threaten the orcs. Bow and arrow.
The new longbow developed on the basis of Lenghuai Longbow, although the range is shortened by half of that of Lenghuai Longbow, it can shoot steel arrows that are heavier than ordinary wooden iron head arrows; after testing, This steel arrow can form an effective threat to the orcs.
150 to 300 meters is the shooting range of the Oriental Crossbow and Ballista, and within 150 meters is the shooting range of the archers; it is just that the huge lethal performance of the Oriental Crossbow and Ballista is amazing, and The archers' coverage shots did not perform as expected.
The overwhelming volley of steel arrows did cause great hindrance to the orcs in the charge; many of the orcs died on the spot, but there were more orcs with two or three arrows in their bodies. , Still rushing forward regardless of body.
The short-range arrow rain attack did not play its due role, and McGovern was not too disappointed; he personally sat under the command of the town wall, did not interfere too much with the command of his generals at all levels, but just took the guards around him to do well Ready to join the battle at any time.
The first orcs who rushed to the foot of the city wall just set up their escaping cloud ladder, and the defenders and soldiers on the city wall, under the command of their respective squadron leaders, moved up the wall and piled up neat rolling stones and sapwood , Slammed towards the orc at the foot of the wall.
When most of the ordinary orcs were screamed by rolling stones and sapwood, a pighead warrior with extremely developed limbs and a fierce light on his face waved the giant mace in his hand and dared all the people to dare in front of him. The called orcs were all killed.
Looking at this pigman warrior who slaughtered the screaming orcs while scolding, McGovern knew that his status among the orcs must not be low; because of the slaughter of fellow warriors, other orcs not only rushed up to obstruct, but flashed with fear. Step back aside.
