As soon as the cannon rang, the gold was ten thousand taels.

When an army goes out to fight, from the moment they leave the station, they consume more food and forage than usual every day.

This consumption is proportional to the distance, the farther the distance, the greater the consumption.

When the Condor Empire was fighting in China, they could easily gather millions of troops in a certain place, and they did not lack troops at all.

However, since entering the territory of the Kazakh Khanate, Ning Yuan has been planning carefully. He not only strictly controls the number of troops in different regions, but even how many troops should be reduced and which troops will be evacuated at what time. s arrangement.

There is no other reason. The logistical pressure of long-distance expeditionary operations is too great.

In the territory of the Kazakh Khanate, the Condor Empire belongs to away games, and the same is true for the Central Asia and Middle East coalition forces on Ibn's side.

When their troops in the Rez Kazgan area exceeded one million, each extra day they dragged on would increase their logistical pressure.

So even if they haven't been able to think of the best way to break the city, they can only bite the bullet and continue to attack the city, and they don't dare to say that they will rest for a few days.

This is also an important reason why the Condor Empire has no shortage of troops, and can even overwhelm the opponent in numbers, but only deployed 150,000 defenders in the Rezkazgan area.

The more troops there are on the front lines, the more logisticians serve them, and the more food and forage supplies are consumed every day.

This is a vicious circle that cannot be avoided, so in most cases the side with the larger army will want to end the war as soon as possible to avoid logistical problems over time.

Now in the Rezkazgan area, the Condor Empire has three cities and 150,000 defenders, while the Central Asia and Middle East coalition forces have assembled more than one million troops.

The Condor Empire not only has the advantages of a city here, but also has fewer troops. If it continues to stalemate here, the longer it takes, the more disadvantaged the Central Asia and Middle East coalition forces will be.

Therefore, even if the Eagle Empire showed the big weapon such as the God Arm Bow on the first day, Iben and others still did not dare to stop completely. After a busy night, the next morning, They attacked the city of the Condor Empire again.

This time, the Persian Longevity Army and the powerful orc army were still the first to fight.

Nearly a thousand tall bearmen warriors walked in the front with huge door panels held high.

The huge door panels held by the bearmen warriors were all made overnight by the craftsmen who accompanied the army.

In order to prevent the door panels from being penetrated by the arrows fired by the God Arm Bow, these specially made door panels have three layers.

The outermost two layers are thick wooden boards, and the middle layer is soft animal skin.

In order to prevent the defenders on the city wall from using fire attacks, they also deliberately wet the layer of planks facing the city wall with water, and then covered it with mud.

Sure enough, as soon as this huge three-story baffle came out, the archers of the archers on the city wall immediately became dumbfounded.

Seeing that the Divine Arm Bow could not penetrate the enemy's thick wooden baffle, the archers of the Divine Arm Bow on the city wall immediately retreated to the second line, leaving the shooting position to the elf sharpshooters holding the power of nature.

However, facing the Persian Immortal Army wearing chain armor, the power of the force of nature could not be fully exerted.

In addition to the benefits of some arrows with tricky angles, the rain of arrows shot by the elf marksmen is also difficult to bring too much casualties to the enemy.

Seeing that the two long-range attack methods were completely ineffective, William Storm, who was in charge of commanding the battle on the tower, immediately stopped the long-range attack and prepared for the upcoming hand-to-hand battle at the city head.

As the siege tower came into effective distance, the orc warriors on the siege tower immediately cut off the ropes on the drawbridge.

After a rumbling sound, all the suspension bridges on the ten siege towers were placed on the top of the city.

Just as the powerful orc warriors on the siege tower wanted to follow the drawbridge to the top of the city, a rush of wind rang out.

After the screams, the orc warriors who were at the front of the siege tower immediately fell down.

"Quick, raise your shield to defend."

"No, the power of this crossbow is too great, the shield can't stop it at all!"

......

After the failure of the apprenticeship, the orc warriors on the siege tower immediately began to save themselves.

However, shooting at such a close range, the iron-clad shields in their hands could not resist the shooting of the Divine Arm Bow at all, and many orc warriors were shot through even with their shields.

Seeing that if this goes on, they can only be shot to death on the siege tower, and some orc warriors in the back can only escape from the siege tower helplessly.

"Quick, give us a few pieces of the third-floor door, or we won't be able to get close to the city at all."

"The planks are given to you, what should we do? Do you want us to be the target of the enemy's shooting below?"

"Fuck, if you don't give us planks, then after we go up, it's still a living target?"

"Then we don't care, our task is to hold the door panel to protect the soldiers behind.

After the door panel is given to you, not only we will die, but other people behind will also be easily shot to death by the enemy as a living target. "

......

Because the preparation time was too hasty, and the materials at hand were very limited, the number of three-layer door panels prepared by Iben for the siege army was very limited.

The problem now is obvious. Whoever holds the three-layer door panel has a higher chance of survival. Otherwise, it will be directly shot into the shape of a hedgehog by the God Arm Bow.

Therefore, in order to compete for the three-story door, a huge conflict broke out between the orc warriors under the city wall.

Seeing that it continued like this, before the city was attacked, it was very likely that a physical conflict broke out among his own people. The officer in charge of this siege could only order the entire army to retreat temporarily.

As a result, the magical scene appeared again. The siege tower that had just been placed on the top of the city was pulled back by the siege army in a blink of an eye.

......

"Abas, what's the matter? Who told you to withdraw?"

Seeing the sudden retreat of the siege army, Iben was immediately furious, and the veins on his forehead kept beating.

"President, we can't do it if we don't withdraw. We seriously lack the armor that can resist the bow of the god's arm, and the soldiers on the siege tower can't rush up at all."

Seeing Ibn Thunder furious, Abbaston looked aggrieved.

He also didn't want to let other people see jokes like this, but if they forcibly attacked the city, then their side would inevitably suffer countless casualties.

Because the distance was too close, the shields in the hands of many soldiers were shot and shattered. At that time, I am afraid that before they could attack the city, the troops close to the city wall would have lost nothing.

"Didn't I prepare a lot of three-layer door panels for you?

Why can't those three-layer door panels stop the shooting of the God Arm Bow? "

Seeing the grievance on Abbas' face, Ibn immediately asked with concern.

"President, the three-layer door panel is indeed able to defend against the close-range shooting of the God Arm Bow, but the number is too small.

If we can defend the city, we can't defend the siege tower. If we defend the siege tower, the soldiers under the city will be exposed to the direct fire of the God's Arm Bow.

Moreover, the three-layer wooden plank is so large that it is difficult to lift it to the siege tower, and the ordinary shield cannot withstand the direct shot of the God Arm Bow at close range.

So in order to avoid more casualties, I can only choose to withdraw the army. "

Abbas explained with a depressed expression.

"That divine arm bow is really so powerful that even the shields in the hands of orc warriors can't stand it?"

Hearing what Abbas said, Iben suddenly looked solemn.

"President, you can go to the siege tower and check it yourself. Take a look at the bodies of the orc warriors above. The shields in many people's hands have been shot to pieces. They were shot to death by the God Arm Bow."

In order to make Iben believe it, Abbas immediately pointed to the siege towers that were pulled back in the distance.

"Come on, let's go take a look together."

After understanding Abbas's intentions, Iben immediately suggested to the player leaders of several other countries beside him.

......

"What kind of crossbow is this? How can it penetrate so strongly?"

"If I didn't look at these crossbow bolts, I even thought that these orc warriors were shot by small ballistas."

"No wonder Ning Yuan only deployed hundreds of thousands of people here to defend three cities. It turns out that he has a hole card in his hand!"

"Look at this smashed iron-clad shield. It is twice as thick as the light shield in the hands of the Persian Longevity Army, but it is still smashed into pieces. It can be seen that this divine arm bow kills at close range. How powerful."

"How about we make more large shields like the three-layer door?"

"Three floors may not be enough, come and see.

These three-layer door panels were actually shot with holes everywhere, and they were almost shot through directly.

If I read correctly, when the enemy was shooting at the third-floor door, the distance was between forty and fifty meters.

The siege tower is only a dozen meters away from the city wall.

The distance has been shortened so much all of a sudden, I am afraid that the three door panels may not be able to block the direct shot of the God Arm Bow at close range.

I suggest that the army should take a day off. Let's prepare more shields with four or even five layers for the besieging orc army!

Otherwise, we would have to lose a lot of troops just for the close-range direct shot of the God Arm Bow. "

"But there are no big trees nearby. Where can we get so much material?"

"It's really impossible to dismantle the carriages that transport the grain and grass materials. As long as the city can be broken as soon as possible, it won't have much impact if there are fewer carriages for the time being."

"Okay, let's do it like this. I will immediately send people to leave all the carriages that have not returned, and then dismantle them to make thicker wooden shields."

......

In the sound of everyone's discussion, a vigorous activity of dismantling carriages and making shields was launched in the camp of the Central Asia and the Middle East coalition forces.

Two days later, the Central Asian and Middle East coalition forces successfully added nearly a thousand thick shields made of three layers of wood and two layers of cowhide.

With a thicker shield, Abbas once again led the siege army to attack the city where the Eagle Empire army was stationed.

This attack was smoother than the previous two.

Relying on the cover of the three-layer rear door panel, the siege army successfully came under the city wall.

When the suspension bridge on the siege tower was lowered, the direct shots of the God Arm Bow on the city head were all blocked by the five layers of thick wooden shields.

Seeing that the five-layer thick wooden shield really lived up to his expectations, Abbas immediately blew the horn of attack.

As the horn sounded, the orc warriors on the siege tower holding the five-layer rear wooden shield immediately rushed along the drawbridge towards the city head.

Seeing that the divine arm bow shot was ineffective, the orc warriors on the siege tower raised their shields and rushed towards the city head. The divine arm archers who were facing the drawbridge immediately flashed aside.

When the Divine Arm Archers dodged and left, a hey-yo-yo big guy was immediately exposed.

It was a black wrought iron box with a long and thick iron pillar behind it.

One end of the iron pillar stretched into the box, and the other end was hung in a huge card slot.

As an orc warrior pulled a handle hard, the card slot sank immediately, and then the iron pillar that was stuck in the card slot immediately bounced forward like an arrow from the string.

At the moment when the iron pillar bounced forward, the baffle plate in front of the iron box also moved forward rapidly.

It turned out that the other end of the iron pillar was connected to a huge iron plate, and at the middle end of the iron pillar were two buckles, and there was a huge spring device behind the buckles.

Originally, when the iron pillar was stuck in the card slot, the spring in the iron box was compressed. As the card slot sank, the spring in the iron box immediately began to expand, and then under the action of huge elastic force, the iron pillar was connected to the top of the box. The iron plate was quickly bounced forward.

The iron box was facing the enemy's suspension bridge on the top of the city, so the orc warriors who had just stepped on the suspension bridge and rushed to the city head were immediately bounced out by the iron plates stretched above the suspension bridge.

Under the huge elastic force, the orc warriors on the suspension bridge suddenly turned on their backs.

The appearance of this scene directly shocked a group of orc warriors on the siege tower. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Looking at the huge iron plate that was beginning to shrink back, many orc warriors were all dumbfounded.

"Don't be stupid, keep attacking.

It takes a long time to reload that elastic device, so hurry up and kill me during this vacuum period. "

Those aboriginal orc warriors didn't understand that this was the most basic spring principle, but Abbas, a player, saw through the principle at a glance.

While it's difficult to make such a contraption in a game, it's fairly simple to see how it works.

As an engineering student, Abbas just saw the iron pillar inlaid with the iron plate expand and contract, and he immediately knew what it was and what its function was.

Although I don’t know how the Condor Empire came up with such a thing, Abbas knew very well that with the production process in the game, this thing would definitely be very bulky and prone to various problems, so he first Immediately, the order to continue the attack was given.
