Heroes of the Invincible call a thousand troops

The royal mages finished casting their own rounds of magic, and they all began to retreat, preparing to condense the next magic, and moved out of the battle position, seeking the protection of the warriors!

Although there were heavy casualties, fortunately this round of magic attack was finally over. De Yong vowed that he would not leave the enemy too much time for magic attack rounds, and he had to fight quickly.Because of this round of magic strike alone, the orc heavy infantry who actually lost their combat effectiveness lost more than [-] people (not to say that they were all killed, but that they temporarily lost their combat effectiveness).

He was urging the troops to move on, but in the blink of an eye, he was startled...

The mage's position had indeed shifted just now, but there were still more than a hundred white-robed mages staying behind, and the small, barely audible sound of chanting a spell came from the air, which made him break out in a cold sweat!

This is obviously the enemy's high-level mage holding a spell. It takes such a long time to condense mana. This is obviously at least a high-level magician, and the magic to be cast must not be lower than level 5.

He was right in thinking, this is the most high-end mage in the royal mage group. Although level 5 magic is not a rare item in Lin Tian's god-given arms, it is indeed not to be underestimated in the aboriginal army.Even if Lin Tian's royal mage group has the best treatment and courtesy, there are only a few hundred mages above level 5...

More than 30 thick level 5 fire pillars accurately hit the most densely populated points of the orcs. These almost blue flames engulfed the attacked orcs, and the metal armor was burned in a short time. Soldiers who cannot escape the range of the flame column within 1 or 2 seconds will be burned to death soon...

There was a scorching smell on the battlefield, and it made me sick to smell it!

Dozens of thick ice tips.Slams hard into enemies as these icicles appear out of nowhere above them.There is no way to avoid it. The level 5 magic directly hit or penetrated the body of the orc warrior, and the guy who was hit had almost no possibility of surviving.Even though the tauren reacted quickly and raised their shield at the critical moment, the huge momentum could knock them to their knees, and then a large number of shattered ice submerged him...

Even if he recovers from the ice, if there is no elixir to heal him, what can he do with his frostbitten body?

Level 5 of the earth system has mud swamp, which may not be of much use to other agile troops, but for these heavy infantry, it is a troublesome thing that cannot be troubled any more.Mud spell has almost no lethality.But it has a large range, more than a dozen mud spells lined up, and many fighters in the attack range were enveloped in it. They were dressed in heavy armor and struggled in this magic mud, a little stupid. point, until it was swallowed by the mire and could not escape.

There are still smart people who don't struggle desperately after being hit by magic, because doing so will only make them sink deeper and deeper.Most of these calm and rational guys are tiger men. They took off their equipment as quickly as possible, and laid these iron plates flat to slow down the sinking speed...

After a while.The compatriots who reacted pulled them up with leather ropes.As for those who are not smart enough, they have sunk forever.

However, these muds that can last for a short period of time are not completely useless.At least the orc army had to take a detour, and no one wanted to go in and test how deep the water was!

Qi system at level 5.There is a powerful magic, thunder and lightning!If the electric ball technique is at the level of thousands of volts.That lightning technique can reach 10 volts, this lethality makes people shudder.It's not a single body yet. In fact, it's a small-scale wound magic, but the orcs in the center have almost no hope of survival, and the orcs in the periphery may be half dead...

De Yong pricked up his ears, making sure that this time there was really no sound of chanting that could be ignored by him, so he put his heart back to its original position.

But things are always like this, I just don't want him to go his way...

The defensive troops on the opposite earth wall were in a commotion, and after opening some holes in an orderly manner, they launched nearly a hundred ballistas amidst De Yong's scolding voices!

Naturally, these ballistas can't be compared with Lin Tian's three-shot giant magic-infused ice ballista. They are all rudimentary little carts, and they use ordinary animal tendons instead of dragon tendons, and the elasticity they bring is relatively strong. limited.Even if the crossbow bolts fired are not all iron powerful enchanted crossbow bolts like Lin Tian's, they are basically just a short spear.The gun body is an ordinary wooden stick, only the gun head is made of metal.

However, such a crude ballista with limited lethality is not comparable to orcs. This is a war machine ordered by Lin Tian to be processed by the Ministry of Industry. It is made by human and dwarf craftsmen. few.The most important thing is that there were as many as a hundred catapults brought with the team this time. If the catapults were not too bulky and the stone bombs were difficult to carry, there would still be more than 20 catapults that could participate in the battle.

These ballistas are all four-wheel drive. Usually, there are 4 people for maintenance and operation. There are special shooters, bowmen, loaders, commanders and lookouts. This is the configuration in wartime. Usually, a horse is used. Pulling and moving, it is also possible for 4 people to push a certain distance on the battlefield, which greatly reduces the difficulty of moving and maintenance, and makes these war machines useful for team action.

Ordinary archer shooting is not a big deal for hoplites.But these ballistas are different. Their iron "spear" heads, driven by animal tendons, are enough to shoot through a pair of iron armor, although they cannot cause a single wound like Lin Tian's three-shot giant magic-infused ice ballista. Effect, but here, it is already a good improvement.

After a brief aim, the lookout gave the order to shoot. The 100 crossbow bolts were fired almost at the same time. Driven by the huge kinetic energy, they shot to the charging troops on the opposite side almost in the blink of an eye. With a tooth-piercing friction sound, many orcs were shot through and fell to the ground. Some of the fighters in front went straight to the street!

Afterwards, the bowman manipulated the wheeled device to pull out and fix the trembling bowstring again, the loader quickly carried out the loading action of the next round, and the shooter slowly manipulated the angle of the ballista to lock on to the next target and stand by...

After a simple secondary confirmation from the perspective of the shooter, the lookout gave the launch command again.The whole process is well-trained, and the whole cycle takes about 20 seconds. This is already a terrifying fort-level killing point.

Even if the lethality is limited, due to the limited initial shooting speed, there is no strong penetrating power, but the process is simple enough, the material requirements are not high, and it can be put into mass production.This row lined up, and the strong sound of bowstrings one after another made the orc hoplites feel a lot of pressure.

They are not as agile as the light infantry. While gaining enough defensive power, they also lose some speed advantages. Even when charging, the speed is not too high.And the lethality of the opponent's giant crossbow can already bring them a fatal threat... (to be continued...)
