Shaman from Afar

After putting out some cruel words, he dropped the battle flag, and Eckert immediately turned around and left; then the line of crossbowmen and hussars holding horn bows came out of the lineup. The embarrassing "Farewell" dwarf sentinels returned home.

Whether you go home or not, make sure you let them go all the way.

On the walls of the fortress, the dwarves almost watched the messengers they sent out in the rain of arrows, pierced by countless arrows, and fell one by one in the pool of blood; the arrows like locusts were like straw. , Covered with open space outside the fortress.

Seeing the last messenger covered in blood and struggling to fall half a step away from the city gate, the dwarves on the city wall were completely angry. Stepped on the wall with iron boots.

This is no longer a declaration of war, this is to slap them in the face!

Soon, the sound of the horn sounded one by one on the walls and sentry towers of the Fortress of Silverhelm Mountain; only a quarter of an hour later, accompanied by a sour headache mechanical rotation, rows of ballistas and slings The machine made the deepest roar.

The storm-like bombardment sounds as if the whole world is collapsing. The fallen earth and stone plowed the positive land, and the sand and stone splashed, bringing a dull loud noise, tilting the power of destroying the world.

However, it does not make much sense.

Long before the dwarves bombarded, the Rangers and Crossbowmen withdrew their formations. The long-range, or projectile, weapons of this generation basically followed a "game setting" known to most people. ".

The javelin is about 20 to 40 steps, the crossbow is 80 to 120 steps, the small projection weapon can reach 200 to 300 steps, and the large similar catapult has about 400 to 500 steps. .

Of course, dwarves who are masters of casting and engineering experts can often create more powerful projectile weapons, such as eight hundred steps away-but the hit rate is definitely much worse.

And Loren ’s formation is a thousand steps away ... aiming at him is not as good as aiming at the moon directly-because the hit rate is the same.

Therefore, the dwarf's projectile weapon bombardment has more symbolic significance than practical significance; with the experience of the Battle of Thousand Accounts, and the popularization of the knowledge of projectile weapons among the alchemists in the army, the soldiers know that those messy things can not fall on their own. In fact, it will not cause any blow to morale.

So amidst the roar of the sky, quite a "strange" scene appeared; on one side was burning in anger, wishing to smash the enemy's corpse, thousands of dwarves roared on the city wall, facing the Barn's formation in the distance Perform uninterrupted tilt blows;

On the other side, the silent Bain army gradually gathered up and began to dig deep trenches, build earth barriers, construct siege and anti-siege positions, busy with the sky.

It was only occasionally that a few Poihorse cavalry stood outside the trench, drinking horse milk together, nibbling the bacon, and pointing at the explosion not far away and the dwarf on the city wall, Guess when these groups of rectums can't find them at all.

But for Loren, his goal has been achieved.

There was the siege of the Supreme King before, and the siege of the army of Byrne afterwards. The strength of the Silver Helmet Mountain Fortress will have to be placed on the city defense.

According to Paulis' description, under the regime of the Yunling Kingdom, the army also has the task of monitoring the nobility and civilians; in other words, once their army has to be put into combat, the rear will often fall into a state of unmanned management.

In this way, there is an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Of course, Loren was not naive enough to think that he could drive straight in and win the Silver Helmet Mountain-this is the place where Fanesis fancy, there is definitely an unknown danger waiting for himself in front.

But that's another story.

He didn't expect much help from an "inner ghost" to help himself. It was enough to be able to successfully pass the first line of defense ... maybe even he was just being used by Fanesis to lure himself to the pawn.

Although there is no evidence, it is not without this possibility.

The characteristic of Fanesis is that they are the best at using those who are "self-righteous"-inflated, arrogant, and ambitions who think everything is under control.

Or use power, or simply the most direct force to shatter the other party's inflated confidence, kneeling down at his feet with five bodies, driving him.

"... Probably I already know. In short, it is bluffing, scaring the defenders in the city. In fact, we will not attack the city at all, right?"

Suddenly for a while, Sallyka Jonah asked her question while guessing her head.

"It should be said that ... before the official siege, we can take down the Silver Helmet Mountain." Loren shrugged: "Although it is the way to do it, it should still be played, and they can't be seen by them-siege, Trenches and cavalry sweeps are not indispensable, anyway, the greater the movement, the better. "

"Actor will be responsible for the infantry, and the projection position will be given to Ain, and the cavalry will be responsible for Ramalos ... Miss Salika Jonah, I will give you the power to dispatch, when to fight, when to talk, what you said Count. "

"This is for sure, it's necessary to do a full set of acting." The girl nodded, but suddenly a sentence came out: "But I don't understand something."

"Huh?" Loren raised his eyebrows. "Isn't I clear yet?"

"No, it has nothing to do with that." Sallyka shook her head. "I just wanted to ask, why did you let Eckert say that we have a hundred thousand troops?"

"This is what you want to ask?" The black-haired wizard was startled and stunned.

"Why, shouldn't I ask?" The girl's expression was more incomprehensible than him: "There is no one hundred thousand for all the gasps added up and down the whole army barracks, where did your one hundred thousand army come from?"

"No, you misunderstood, that was just a strategy." Strongly enduring not to roll his eyes, Loren explained patiently: "The enemies are actually not sure how much of our strength is, so they mistake them for thinking that we have enough strength. Siege helps to deepen our fears. "

"Are you scaring them?" Sallyka blinked.

"Uh ... no, it's not complete, it's more like confusing them-when our troops are all in place, they will start to be confused, mistakenly thinking that we will have reinforcements later, and interfere with their decisions. This is also a strategy."

"Are you scaring them?" The girl refused.

"I know what you think, yes, this seems like an exaggeration, but it is not true ... you think, in order to maintain the normal supply of this 25,000-person army, the entire logistics supply line is running. This figure has been exceeded for a long time, and this is also an affirmation of their work. "

"Are you scaring them?"

"... Yes, I'm scaring them." Loren said blankly.

Sallyka smiled triumphantly, and the dimple with freckles blushed, revealing two small tiger teeth.

Shrugging weakly, Loren rolled his eyes and exhaled long.

After giggling for a while, Sallyka patted his shoulder and squinted her lips broadly: "Okay, don't be upset, it's still a grand duke!"

This is not the first time for me to do this kind of thing, I know it very well-how to fight, when to fight, I know better than you. "

"You just have to stick to it for a day or two ~ www.readwn.com ~ Eckert and Angert, and ... and Ain, they will assist you to get the scene done." Loren said calmly:

"Two days, up to three days ... I will let you see the result-victory, we will take the Silver Helmet Mountain and complete the millennium to reduce the achievements that all the Bayern and Boyi have failed to complete, and we will get more prestige Laszlo Varna. "

"Defeated ... If you are lucky, it won't be too ugly. I still have a way to end this war through diplomatic mediation." After that, Loren couldn't help saying more:

"If you are lucky ..."

"That's your business. I'm not interested in Silver Helmet Mountain, and I'm not interested in merit." Sallyka said coldly:

"All I want is that person, no matter what you plan to do with him, his life is mine-so you have to bring him back to me alive, just such a request."

"I promise you, don't worry." Loren nodded solemnly:

"As long as he is still in this fortress, it's hard to escape!"
