Chapter 484: Twin Star Fall (14)
"Woo woo .........." With the dazzling but not scorching sunlight of spring shining directly above people's heads, the citizens of the water qilin side withdrew to the barracks outside the city after dropping more than 500 corpses of reloaded regular soldiers and nearly 3,000 cannon fodder corpses, and the siege weapon "Watt War Hammer" on the water qilin side was also abandoned by the engineers who overcontrolled the giant siege chariot because the chariot chassis was dropped and the average weight of 500 kilograms was broken. And on the edge of the city wall, which is full of javelins and crossbow arrows, is the ruins of dozens of watchtower-style siege vehicles of the Water Qilin Empire.
"It seems that the cause of this wave is fixed, but this loss seems to be a bit small, right?" After reading it, Rakuman put the battle report in front of Sherman, who was standing in front of the battlements and looking into the distance, and easily deducted a small pebble from a crack the size of an ordinary person's thigh that had appeared next to him, and pressed it on the battle report to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, Rakuman said to Sherman: "How about the commander-in-chief? This time, the Water Qilin side can be said to have vaguely played the real level when they attacked the city, are you absolutely sure that we can win against them? ”
"Hmm......... I don't know what to do. Sherman was silent for a while and then replied, "Judging from the information we have so far, the victory rate of our side that never sets is about 4 percent, and the water Qilin side accounts for 6 percent. First of all, in addition to 50,000 Atlantan spearmen, 30,000 members of the Papal Guard and 30,000 Lancet hammermen, the remaining 120,000 including 40,000 heavily armed swordsmen, 20,000 orc warriors, 10,000 Atlanta nobles' private soldiers, 30,000 giant shield crossbowmen and 20,000 Mishaal heavy infantry can be regarded as heavy infantry units, making our heavy infantry nearly 20,000 more than the water unicorn side, but the enemy's light infantry is more than twice as many as ours. The enemy's light infantry still exceeds us by a large margin, and we cannot make up for this; In addition, the cellular crossbows used by the Water Kirin are also highly lethal to the soldiers on our walls when paired with their empire's peculiar siege towers. ”
"So we're going to have to defend now?" Rakuman asked, raising an eyebrow.
"That's not." Sherman shook his head: "Actually, I have a plan, but if this plan doesn't work out of the prediction, then Fort Riptide is very likely to be lost." ”
"Tell me about it."
"You know, the main problem of our northwest defense line of the Western Continent is that the enemy still has a cavalry force of nearly 20,000 people in that area, if we eliminate this cavalry force, our Xiyi Legion of the Great Empire will be able to kill the remaining 30,000 Water Qilin Right Route Army miscellaneous soldiers in a short period of time, so I think we should send the Griffin Knights and let them go to the four counties to support the Xiyi troops, and clear the 20,000 Water Qilin Empire cavalry troops for them; At the same time, I think we can take 10,000 Atlantan spearmen and 20,000 orc warriors from Fort Riptide to Fort Ozkov in the southeast to support the 40,000 Sunset troops there, where we don't need to fight too much, just weaken the enemy's strength to 10,000 and leave 10,000 Atlantan spearmen to fight against them, and we can send back 40,000 longbow troops to fill our shortfall in ranged troops. ”
"But have you ever thought that if you do this, our enemy will get a complete supply line of baggage, and at the same time, with the loss of 30,000 troops, we are very capable of resisting the strong onslaught of the Water Qilin Empire's mid-lane army in the next two weeks or so." After frowning and thinking for a while, Rakuman suddenly raised his head and looked at Sherman with a very serious gaze and said slowly: "Tell me Sherman, do you believe that we can withstand the onslaught of the Middle Route Army of the Water Qilin Empire for at least 2 weeks. ”
“……… I believe! Sherman replied with a determined gaze, "Of course, you and the Sunset Warriors who should believe in us!" ”
At night, as the sun never sets side in the afternoon again to repel the invading water unicorn army, a number of up to 30,000 people of the sun never set army took advantage of the night to leave the torrent fort, moving towards Ozkov Fort, during which this force was not discovered by those spies from the water unicorn empire, but these spies are obviously not as capable as those war spies trained from the headquarters of the Sun Kirin Guild in York City, no matter who they are, the spies from the Water Kirin Empire, Or the birds used by these fleets to convey information, all turned into a corpse in the night tonight.
Indeed, war spies are not assassins, they can't have the superb killing skills of assassins, let alone show killing skills as an art, but since war spies involve the word battlefield, this means that they must be able to appear on the battlefield like war assassins, which indirectly shows their ability to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and this is true, but war spies should be regarded as ranged troops to be exact, Because in addition to two long daggers made of stainless steel, the weapons equipped by the war spy also have a delicate crossbow that shoots only 40 meters, but the armor-piercing ability can instantly penetrate the plate armor behind half a centimeter, and the arrows equipped with the crossbow are not armor-piercing arrows, but they are smeared with a layer of venom that seals the throat with blood.
Because for a period of time after the departure of 20,000 orc warriors and 10,000 Atlantan crescent spearmen, it was the most intense and tragic moment when the sun never set and the water qilin battle, and because it was guaranteed that the military intelligence would never fall into the hands of the water qilin side, the general battle report must be destroyed within 5 minutes after it was delivered to the recipient, and it was because of such strict intelligence protection that "20,000 orcs took advantage of the night to raid the water qilin military camp in the southeast region of the Western Continent with as many as 50,000 people, and blocked all 4 sides of the camp tent until the 40,000 longbowmen in Ozkov Fort came and burned all the camp tents with rocket arrows, and finally the number of escaped Water Qilin troops was less than 8,000 people", until more than 60,000 people did not set the sun from Ozkov Fort, and the water Qilin side received this news after more than half a day, and the situation in the northwest region could not be found here, but because the Xiyi people could use the waterway to block the retreat of the Water Qilin Right Army, In order to help the water qilin, the right army ended up being completely annihilated.
At this time, the attack and defense of Fort Riptide had lasted for 24 days, and the 30,000 troops led by Yuri had landed on the western continent in the port of Atlantis.
