Monster Minotaur

The coalition forces from Caldera outside Lobito have arrived nearby, and the soldiers are building camps as a siege station. The monster army in Thunder Bluff is camped on the other side of the city. Because of the special nature of the monsters, they are not with the coalition forces. The Salt people have been fighting monsters for countless years and want to simply accept monsters as allies. , there are still some big obstacles.

Even if the higher-ups compromise for various reasons, it does not mean that the lower-level soldiers will think so. Even if they don't do anything extreme, they still can't cooperate well in the battle, so instead of doing this, it's better to leave the monster army alone and only be responsible for surrounding the city after the city is broken, while the escaping Parliament City soldiers are better . The main body of the siege will be taken by the Salt people, although a specific charter has not been drawn up yet.

There are currently 10,000 Congress City soldiers in Lobito. Although it is only a thousand more than the coalition forces, they are supported by the city wall of Lobito. It is not a simple matter to capture Lobito, and the siege must be as careful and rigorous as possible. Otherwise, if it causes a lot of losses to the coalition forces, then the coalition forces will not have the power to attack the Parliament City.

Arica, Ancud, and Santa Fe have gathered in the camp, and the coalition commanders dispatched form the coalition command headquarters. The commander of Arika is an old man who was a former legion commander and later served as a mentor in Arika's academy for several years. Although he is not outstanding in terms of combat effectiveness, he has extremely rich experience.

Ankud's commander is a bald middle-aged man. He is the commander of Ankud's active giant wood army. He has also commanded many battles against monsters. However, I have little experience in fighting with people. I only learned some tactics from some textbooks, but I have not actually used them.

The commander of Santa Fe is a middle-aged man who has lost an arm. Commander Refola, who lost his hammer in Santa Fe, has no commanding talent now. This disabled man had already retired, but now he has been invited to serve as one of the commanders of the coalition forces.

Three people are responsible for the command of the coalition. Although it is a bit random, it is the best choice in this situation. After all, if the three parties fail to unify in order to compete for this command, it will greatly delay the opportunity to fight. Lobito's Congress City Army will immediately go to attack Santa Fe after completing their rest.

The reconvened parliament took only three days to finalize all the details. And issued an order to unite Caldera's legions into one, and came to the city of Lobito to prevent the Congress City from continuing to advance. This was beyond Azera's expectations and also bought valuable time for the coalition forces.

The promoter of all this is now staying in the headquarters of the Lobito coalition, watching the two commanders quarreling with each other. The parliamentary system is such nonsense that even if they are united, they will continue to quarrel. Although the Saltans did not hold each other back, they did have differences due to different tactics.

The old man in Arica believed that the coalition army currently only has 9,000 people, and if they forcefully attack the city, they will cause great losses. Therefore, siege tactics should be adopted to force the Parliament City Legion in the city to go out to fight, so that the coalition forces can win. The commander of Ankud confirmed that there was not much time left for the coalition forces. If the army in Lobito could not be eliminated as soon as possible, the Congress City might send reinforcements.

At that time, they, who are already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, will have an even smaller chance of winning. Therefore, he advocated building siege equipment and forcibly breaking through the defense of the Parliament City. The morale of the coalition forces is much higher than that of the Congress City. It is fully capable of using such morale to climb the walls of Lobito and enter the city in one go to start a street battle with the Congress City.

Arika and Ankud seem to be competing no matter where they are. Mo Yan looked at the silent one-armed man beside him who was not involved and said with a smile: Whether it is their managers or Military commanders seem to get into quarrels for various reasons.”

Arika and Ankud were already fighting in the parliament before Ellan became like this. The one-armed man glanced at Mo Yan and tried not to treat him as an ordinary monster. Said: Originally, Carthage's caravans entered Elam through the north of Ancud, but later Arica built several ports, and the number of caravans coming in from the north decreased a lot. After all, sea transportation is faster. A lot.

Oh, that's it. Mo Yan nodded and pointed. The old man, who had already made a fuss and his beard was messy, continued to talk: Aren't you going to participate in it? After all, you are also one of the commanders of this coalition, and you are in It has already been discussed at the Elamite Council, and only the plan approved by the majority will be implemented.

Although Mo Yan's words were not loud, they reached the ears of the two people who were arguing. They suddenly remembered that no matter which plan they adopted, Commander Santa Fe's vote was very important to them, so they rushed He came over and talked about his arguments at the one-armed man. In the end, he even pulled him to the map and pointed to the Lobito map on it. This made the one-armed man, who was still very leisurely, suddenly look ugly, and he looked complainingly at Mo Yan, who had provoked the incident.

Actually, the city wall is not a problem. Mo Yan, who did not intend to continue watching the show, stood up from where he was sitting and said: Thunder Bluff can destroy Lobito's city walls. Those walls are just simple piles of stones. In fact, It’s not very solid.”

The monster army in Thunder Bluff has a trebuchet? The old man from Arica heard Mo Yan's words, stopped arguing and looked at Mo Yan and asked: But even the trebuchet cannot be used, there are still many civilians in Lobito City. Yes, the accuracy of the trebuchet is not high and will throw stones into the city, causing civilian casualties and causing very bad consequences.

Trebuchet? Mo Yan smiled, shook his head and said, I don't have that kind of thing.

Then you... After hearing Mo Yan's words, the three people thought that they had been fooled. They immediately wanted to blame the tauren for speaking meaninglessly, but Mo Yan's words immediately blocked their words.

But I have something that is countless times better than the trebuchet. Mo Yan walked out and said, Actually, when you were just discussing, I had arranged for someone to send the weapons over, and now they have arrived. In the camp. I think you might want to take a look at these, the latest weapons produced in Thunder Bluff.

As he spoke, Mo Yan opened the curtain of the tent, and saw that every three gray dwarves drove an ox to pull six large iron pipes on wheels to the front of the tent. The Salt people all around looked curiously at the strange things pushed by these gray dwarves and the small iron pipes they carried on their backs.

Six iron pipes? The one-armed man observed carefully and said to Mo Yan with a smile: Do you want to use this thing to break open their city gate? But it is too small. , it would be better to use a battering ram made of giant wood, at least the impact would be greater.

Put away your contempt, idiot! A gray dwarf heard the one-armed man's words and was so angry that his gray face turned red. He trotted up to the man on his short legs and put his hands on his hips, looking at him and yelling loudly. : This is a great weapon invented by the great master of Thunder Bluff, who has the black gunpowder of the great gray dwarves! It is not something that an empty-minded barbarian like you can understand!

The artillery, which is almost regarded as a sacred weapon by gray dwarves, has been evaluated in such a way by others. These grumpy dwarves even want to use the gun to drill a few holes in the guy in front of them to let him know how powerful it is! This is a miraculous weapon invented using the ancestral secret recipe of the gray dwarves!

I don't think Commander Albert did it on purpose. Mo Yan comforted the grumpy gray dwarf, turned to Albert and said, Although this weapon looks strange to you, what I can guarantee is that it's The power will make you fall in love with it. As a long-range weapon, it is not only powerful, but also much more accurate than primitive things like trebuchets.

Although the accuracy of the artillery currently produced is still very worrying because it does not have rifling, it is much more accurate than the trebuchet. At least the impact point of the cannonball can be controlled within the scope of the city wall, and there will be no situation like the trebuchet where once the stone escapes from the trebuchet, it is uncertain where it will fall.

Really? The old man from Arika carefully observed the weapon that was repeatedly touted by the tauren in front of him. In the end, he couldn't see anything special about it. He could only shake his head and said, But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look special. It’s just a simple iron pipe, and it’s not a magical weapon, so how does it attack?”

We can try it later. Mo Yan was not in a hurry to explain the principle, but let these commanders see the power of the artillery with their own eyes. He believed that the performance of these commanders would not be better than what they had seen for the first time on earth. What good can the artillery-blasted natives do?
