Chapter 665: Artillery Support
Emperor Shakti didn't bother to pay attention to Pope Jacob, and rushed out directly with this army, and then he began to arrange his position.
There were more than a dozen cannons on this roof, dozens of cannons on that platform, and soon, Emperor Shi Tian found a good position for these heavy mortars.
And just as they entered the position, the second batch of reinforcements requested by Emperor Shi Tian had already arrived.
This time it was the orc fully automatic howitzer gunner, one man and one horse, the total number came a thousand, in fact, it was 500 orc howitzer cavalry.
Emperor Shakti told them to divide them into four equal parts and go down in the four directions of the sacred mountain to support the wrestler troops who were about to engage the necromantic forces.
And just as these four tiger and wolf divisions were killed, a banging cannon suddenly sounded on the top of the mountain, and dozens of mortars that had been erected had already begun to be test-fired.
The task given to them by Emperor Shi Tian is also very simple, aiming at the dense army of necromancy on the street, and just bombarding it.
Of course, the first step must be to remove the threat at the gates of the inner city.
After the cannon sounded, it took a long time for Emperor Shi Tian to see sparks set up near the inner city gate in the distance.
Some of the shells landed on the street with great precision, and the dense skeleton warriors, as well as zombies, where the shells landed, those guys were blown apart on the spot, and a little farther away, the necromantic cannon fodder was also blown around, so that a small area was directly emptied.
But there were also shells that missed, fell into the moat, and nothing hit.
And that's not the worst case, the worst scenario is to fall on the top of the city and wipe out all the two sides in the fierce battle.
Although it killed many necromantic warriors, it also accidentally injured friendly soldiers, and at least one unlucky person was blown into the sky, and the whole person was reduced to several pieces.
Pope Jacob also came to the vicinity of Emperor Shakti at this time, and when he saw the power of the mortar so fierce, he was immediately taken aback, and then he said excitedly: "If these weapons have such power, it will be really powerful." ”
Emperor Shi Tian said a little embarrassed, "It's just that the accuracy is a little worse, it's really a bit big on the top of the mountain, which led to a mistake in the calculation, but this time it's just a test shot, and it shouldn't be in the back, and the friendly army was injured by mistake." ”
Pope Jacob waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's okay, it's just that one person was injured, but this wave, and at least hundreds of dead souls have been killed, no matter how we count it, we earned it." ”
"......" Emperor Shi Tian was speechless for a while, feeling that this guy doesn't take hurting his own people seriously at all!
And at this time, the first batch of wrestlers who drove down finally fought with the army of necromancy.
I have to say that the wrestlers with the martial arts of legendary warriors, the cannon fodder of the captain, are as simple as destroying the withering and decaying.
Seeing that these wrestlers flashed, they came to the vicinity of the enemy army, and then with lightning speed, they punched out, smashing the heads of skeleton warriors or zombies on the spot.
Because the speed of the wrestlers is too fast, the body shape is too erratic, and the boxing skills are even more mysterious, resulting in these stupid skeletons and zombies having no ability to resist at all, and they were killed in seconds by a punch, and they didn't even know who they died in before they died.
This is the huge gap between the black iron level cannon fodder and the silver level masters.
In this case, the wrestlers rushed into the streets and alleys, and when they met those necromantic cannon fodder, they were basically one punch, which was simply devastating, and it was as easy as a stroll.
In addition, the wrestlers move very quickly, so the necromantic cannon fodder in the inner city began to fall in pieces.
The entire inner city is being recovered at a very fast pace, and it is believed that it will not be long before the entire army of necromancy will be driven out.
Of course, the necromantic army is not all cannon fodder, and it is also mixed with high-end goods such as skeleton mages, black knights, and death knights.
However, whether it is a skeleton mage or a black knight, they all only appear sporadically, and there is only one in one or two thousand necromantic cannon fodder.
As for the silver-level Death Knights, it is even more one-in-a-million, basically each of them is the role of a commander, commanding a large pile of necromantic cannon fodder.
These masters can hold up even if they can't stand it against a single wrestler, and they can even rely on the troops around them to slowly grind each other to death.
It doesn't matter if there are several wrestlers rushing at the same time, you can still run if you can't beat it anyway.
But the problem is that Emperor Shi Tian released 100,000 wrestlers, so the wrestlers who charged in front were all hundreds or thousands.
With such a large team of masters, the necromantic army is completely unable to resist.
Skeleton mages have always had short legs, and when they saw the quick appearance of the wind under the feet of the wrestler, they knew that they couldn't escape, so they often tried their best to release all kinds of spells, such as curses, dispersals, and fireballs!
Anyway, they tried all the spells they could know one by one, trying to pull a cushion before they died.
But something happened that made them feel extremely depressed, although these wrestlers looked like five big and three thick, but in fact, they were all agile and more flexible than monkeys.
Those flying spells, like fireballs and stuff, don't even want to hit people.
As for those curse spells, dispersal techniques, it seemed to be released, and they were successful, but there was no effect, and the people still rushed over in stride, and before they could react, they punched their heads.
Because the wrestlers were so fast, the skeleton mages could only cast two or three spells at most, and then they would die on the spot.
But this little spell didn't help at all, and not even a wrestler was hurt.
As for the black knights, death knights and other high-level undead, they can compete with one or two wrestlers, but the problem is that people don't play their cards according to common sense, and hundreds of them rush up in one go.
The Black Knights are better, and sometimes they can form a squad of three or five, while the Death Knight is basically alone, at most followed by a group of cannon fodder.
But with this bit of strength, against hundreds of silver-level wrestlers, isn't that the same as delivering food?
He didn't react at all, and he was beaten to death.
Among them, there is even a gold-level death knight, who is very strong in combat and is the main force of the charge, and even the commander-in-chief of the vanguard force.
And he is accompanied by some high-level undead, and this strength can basically walk sideways in the inner city.
But after facing hundreds of wrestlers, there was no room for resistance at all, first the younger brothers were beaten one by one, and then he was surrounded and beaten by dozens of wrestlers.
Although this guy fought hard and killed several wrestlers in a row.
But so what? There are still hundreds of them outside, and if it weren't for the fact that the wrestlers had no long-range attack means and could only besiege dozens of them, I'm afraid he would have been beaten to death long ago.
Anyway, the poor guy's last resistance didn't last long, and in less than a minute, he was beaten to death by dozens of wrestlers.
In fact, this gold-level death knight died very aggrieved.
Generally speaking, it is not a big problem for a gold-level master, against a silver-level master, to fight ten at a time.
And the Death Knight is notoriously strong in his class, and it is estimated that he can fight one or twenty of them against a guy like Shang Lux who relies on the blessing of the state to achieve silver combat power.
However, there are hundreds of wrestlers he met this time, and all of them are not afraid of death, so they will definitely not win.
And the most important thing is that the death knight originally saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but when he turned the horse, he found that the back of the butt was full of dense necromantic cannon fodder, which was blocked by three layers inside and three layers outside.
This angry guy slashed hundreds of necromantic cannon fodder with one sword, and killed himself in a bloody way.
But this delay, the wrestlers have already arrived. These infantrymen who do not ride horses are extremely flexible at this time, stepping on the heads of the necromantic cannon fodder one by one, blocking the back road of the death knight, and then up and down, front and back, left and right, and flanking from all sides, poor gold-level death knights, no matter how strong they are, they can only hate on the spot.
Despite this, let this guy fight to kill two or three wrestlers before he died, which shows how powerful this guy is.
However, at this time, the momentum of the wrestlers descending the mountain like tigers was also affected.
As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.
Anyway, the wrestlers are now in the stage of decline, facing the rear, still dense, and they can't see the necromantic cannon fodder at a glance, and their impact speed has gradually slowed down.
But at this moment, there was a sudden series of thudging noises from behind, and then they saw dozens or hundreds of small black dots falling on the heads of the necromantic cannon fodder.
Immediately after, there was a series of explosions, each explosion blew up several dead cannon fodder around, so in one breath, the previous hundreds of necromantic cannon fodder were scrapped.
In this way, the pressure faced by the wrestlers has been greatly reduced, and the necromantic cannon fodder, which was originally dense and grinding, was instantly reduced by half after this bombardment.
And this is just the beginning, followed by a bang, dozens of hundreds of small black dots, and after a series of explosions, the remaining half, the cannon fodder is less than half.
Although the effect of this shelling is not as good as the last one, it is enough to be considered a book, at least it has relieved too much pressure on the Lux army in front.
Originally, the wrestlers had to face a large number of necromantic cannon fodder, and they could only kill it little by little, but now they have removed seventy percent of five, and only about two and a half percent are left, so it is too easy to kill.
Anyway, the advance speed of the wrestlers immediately increased a lot with the support of the orc automatic howitzers in the rear.
This happens not just on a few major streets, but in almost the entire inner city.
But wherever an army of warriors broke through, they would always be followed by a few, if not dozens, of orc howitzers.
