Chapter 602: Battle of Mordan (4)

"Trebuchet throw!" Amid the roar of the grassroots officers on which the sun never sets, more than 40 counterweight trebuchets were fully operational under the operation of more than 100 engineers who never set the sun.

The friction of the wooden machinery and the collision of the iron gears sounded so wonderful to the eyes of the soldiers who never set, and when the orange-red meteor bombarded the mountainside with its smoking tail, the lives of several hapless Mordan soldiers were taken, and the only thing that made these engineers feel powerless was that they could not be cheered by the cheers behind them at this time.

And the reason for this is not because there are no soldiers behind them: after all, this is a battlefield, and units such as the siege force usually have several groups of troops behind them to act as firefighters and prevent anything from happening to the siege force under the influence of enemy soldiers. This is true because the sunset soldiers behind it have been besieging the hill-based town for days.

If it is an ordinary town, let alone a few days, it is estimated that the army will be able to bulldoze the town with people and tactics in a few hours, but the town in front of it is not good, the first thing that makes the sun does not set is that the trebuchet on his side can only be projectile to the periphery of the town, but not to the core of the town, because the core area of the town of Shekdor is built on the mountain.

On the other hand, on the defenders' side, although the Mordan soldiers guarding the town were not equipped with war equipment such as trebuchets, and the small number of ten-repeater crossbows they had were unusable due to range problems, the Mordan soldiers had torsion trebuchets with relatively simple craftsmanship, and they were also the kind that threw gravel.

There wasn't much else on the outskirts of the destroyed town, but the amount of rubble in the ruins was innumerable, and it didn't take long for a basket of rubble to be pulled down by a few quick and courageous soldiers. In addition, the stone projectiles thrown by the counterweight trebuchet can also be turned into ammunition for those torsion trebuchets after a little processing.

These crushed stones that are thrown out of the tursion by the torsion are not very powerful, and they are completely unable to cause damage to the Sunset War Instruments that have the Mo Forging Steel Bone Technique, but they can cause great damage to the Sunset Engineers who operate the trebuchet, after all, everyone knows that the piece of Ludao is just a small stone, if it is thrown at a faster speed, it will be bruised and purple if it hits the person, and if it hits the head, it is even possible for everyone to have a concussion! And most importantly, the gravel used by Mordan's side is not a small stone, but a gravel the size of two human fists and a diamond edge. And the rubble will also increase its speed as it falls from the sky, so that if it hits a person, it will be one word: death or injury!

At first, the sun never set on the side did not think of a countermeasure, but if the engineers were to wear armor or equip them with tower shields, then these engineers would be greatly limited in operating the war equipment, so this countermeasure was rejected as soon as it was proposed; Secondly, it was proposed to build some simple fortifications such as baffles next to the counterweight trebuchet. However, because this would limit the range of fire of the trebuchet, it was also vetoed, so in the end, the side that the sun never sets can only bear the casualties of dozens or even nearly 100 engineers every day. The confrontation with the Mordan side continued with the instruments of war.

And during this period, it was not without people that the army launched a general offensive. But not to mention the tens of thousands of regular Mordan troops stationed in the town, the tens of thousands of Mordan crossbows on their backs behind those Mordan crossbowmen standing on the mountains are enough to dispel this idea, as for throwing fire oil into the town, rotting cattle and spreading plague or something? It's not impossible to do the former, but it can be seen from the important position of this town that if you want to maximize the benefits of this town after taking it, then a ruined town is impossible. The latter is the same reason, and .......... use the plague against the Mordans in the city, aren't they afraid that the soldiers of the army will also be infected by the plague after the sun never sets?

However, for the town of Shekdor, which made the soldiers who never set the sun have no temper, George, as the commander-in-chief of this army, was in these 3 days. Putting on an appearance that he was not at all inferior, and even from the third day to today, the general, who was supposed to go before the army to give a lecture, did not come out directly, and set up a chair at the door of his camp to boil water and drink tea.

In this regard, the officers who were invited by George to come over to enjoy afternoon tea together in the army were full of doubts, but a little bit is that these officers have never questioned George's approach, because he is the general of the sun never sets with the nickname of the timberwolf, and the first two words of the nickname tell the world how strong George is when he commands the troops to fight in the forest, and the word "wolf" at the end tells the world that when you think that from his appearance, he was a gentle boy. Never forget that he is a cunning wolf lurking in the shadows and ready to bite you at any time. And the wolf's thoughts are never for others to guess, and the only thing you can guess is that George always has a way to bring victory to the army of the sun that never sets.

"Your Excellency, General." Just as George drank the fifth cup of tea that had been rebrewed, a soldier who never set finally came to George through the layers of guards, knelt down on one knee and asked for instructions: "Your Excellency George, according to your orders, the trebuchet has destroyed all the fortifications on the periphery of Shekdor Town, and the army has been assembled to surround the entire Shekdor Town. ”

"Oh, Zhilu said, then you go down and let all the commanders wait for the signal I said earlier." George put down the porcelain teacup in his hand, and let the soldier who came to report to the sunset stand up after leaving, and said with a smile to the several Sunset Legion Commanders around him, including the three Business Alliance Legion Leaders, "I know that your hearts are full of doubts now, but if you all believe me, come with me to the camp before the camp." ”

After the commanders looked at each other for a while, they immediately caught up with George's steps and came to the gate of the camp, and at this time, the soldier who came to report before had already set a table at the end of the army formation at the edge of the camp and on the side of the sunset, and on the table was placed a structural map of the town of Shekdor, including the area where the soldiers of the surrounding Sunset Army were located. In this picture, the battle formation of thousands of people in the army of the sun never sets completely encircles the town of Shekdor in the form of small red squares, while the Mordan side is replaced by blue triangles, most of which are gathered in the central area of Shekdor Town, only a few blue triangles exist outside Shekdor Town, in addition, as a black line representing the wooden wall of the outer fortifications of Shekdor Town, there are now many red forks and forks on the line, It was a gap in the wooden walls that had been blasted out by a counterweight trebuchet, and it was also the entrance to the town of Shekdor where the sun never set. “

"Judging from the map, I think everyone can already see what is happening, right? Our army of the sun never sets has now surrounded the town of Shekdor, and the wooden wall that is a barrier to the advance of our army has been destroyed by us, and the army of Mordan has been forced to the top of the hill by our army, and as long as we attack this army in an all-out way, it will be wiped out by our army that does not set on the sun. Of course, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties in this way, after all, the Mordan people have the existence of Mordan repeaters in their hands, and at the same time, they will also use those torsion trebuchets to throw gravel to kill and injure our soldiers in a large area, so it is impossible to storm strongly, and it is impossible to fight a war of attrition with these Mordan soldiers, because our side does not have enough time, after all, the ultimate goal of our army is to destroy the United Kingdom of Ahuasha, which is the strongest in terms of comprehensive strength at present. So after thinking about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that if our army wants to quickly capture this important town called Shekdor, then we must use elite troops to attack and disturb the Mordan soldiers on the top of the mountain, so as to cover the rapid advance of the army to the top of the mountain, so as to finally eat the strategy of the opponent's garrison on the top of the mountain. ”

As soon as George's words came out, the legion commanders began to discuss, but before the legion commanders could say a few words, George slammed his fists on the table to make everyone focus on him again: "I know what everyone wants to say, and what I want to tell you is that I have already selected this elite army before, and they have already begun to act, secondly, it is impossible for this elite army to rush head-on, it is to send death, and of course it is impossible to drill out of the ground, After all, even if there are many people in our army, it is impossible to dig a passage to the top of the mountain in just 3 days, and what I want to tell you after the most is that this elite army is not infantry, so to sum up, our elite soldiers only have one army to complete, and the route they attack is not on the ground or underground, but in the sky! ”

As if confirming what George said, just as the legion commanders were still about to react, a lion's roar like an eagle's cry suddenly sounded in the sky. Then, under the gaze of everyone on the battlefield, the snow-white griffin knights with heavy plate armor reflecting silver light emerged from the clouds, and their number reached the size of an empty cavalry regiment.

And these elite air cavalry from the sun never set, after the shocking debut, they flew to the top of the hill in the town of Shekdor, holding many black balls with a hole in their faces and a white hemp rope sticking out of the hole. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
