Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

Standing beside Kuman was a kind of staff officer, several observers holding binoculars, a standard bearer holding a command flag, and many crow priests.They will collect intelligence for Kuman at the first time and assist him in formulating strategies.

"Eight hundred steps!" a scout said loudly.

"Cannon ready!" Kuman ordered.

The standard bearer raised the yellow flag and conveyed the message to the artillery positions.

The blood crow's cannons are also very powerful. These cannons are all made by the craftsmen of the Dragon King Brin. They are imitations of the demon lava cannons. Although the attributes are not as good as the lava cannons, they are still the most advanced long-range firepower in this era. .Moreover, these cannons are equipped with wheels, which are light in weight and can be advanced with the army. They are very flexible and very suitable for the fighting style of the prairie people.As long as the cannon is fired, the wall of Wild Wolf City will be blasted open a big hole!At that time, the vanguard cavalry will drive straight into the streets, and weave back and forth in the city, and they will be able to kill Leoric and his Northern Expeditionary Army and make them regret coming to this world!

"Seven hundred paces!" cried the scout.

"Closer!" Kuman said, "Leoric has no lava cannons anymore! His remaining catapults and bed crossbows can't hit very far, and it's still a safe distance now! Just be careful with his archers. "

The army continued to advance.At this distance, the heavy cavalry could already charge. The noses of the strong horses were emitting white smoke. The soldiers looked resolute, with a saber in one hand and a rein in the other.

The siege tactics of the barbarians are different from those of the plateau people and the demons. They will use cavalry when they attack the city-of course, this is also a tactic after the long-range firepower becomes stronger.The barbarians would bombard the city wall with cannons first, and as long as there was a gap in the city wall, they would rush in desperately. At the same time, the rangers lobbed towards the city wall, forming a wave of fire suppression and providing cover for friendly troops.

If the cannon could not be fired, the cavalry would detour around the city wall to attract the enemy's firepower. At the same time, the infantry in the rear began to use traditional tools such as ropes, flying ladders, and ladder cars to try to climb the city wall, or hit the city gate with a ram.During this period, if there is a gap in the city wall, the cavalry will immediately file in.

After entering the city, the cavalry will not entangle in place, but will intersperse, scurry in the streets, directly attack the weak logistics personnel or civilians behind the garrison, and set fire to the city, causing the largest scale of destruction, thereby involving the enemy's main force.

The siege of the barbarians highlighted a "pull". The cavalry was pulling for the infantry, and the infantry was pulling for the cavalry, so that the enemy's defensive troops were forced to fall into mobile warfare. When the enemy was exhausted, the high mobility of the cavalry was used to defeat the enemy.

Kuman is an expert in this kind of pulling tactics. Not to mention the people from the plateau, even some generals of the Demon Race can't stop his attack.Therefore, he is full of confidence at this time!Leoric without the lava cannon, I can easily take this city.

Suddenly, a Crow's Eye priest said loudly: "My lord, a strange thing appeared on the wall of Wild Wolf City!"

Strange thing?This adjective made Kuman stunned - as we all know, only things that cannot be named are called "weird things".The Crow's Eye Priests are all experienced intelligence personnel, what is there that they haven't seen?

Kuman asked: "What the hell? Strange thing?"

The priests said: "Yes, it looks like a cannon, but it doesn't look like it! This kind of thing is blue and has a glass tube filled with liquid. Uh, we have never seen it before."

"I'll see for myself!" Kuman stopped. He used his mental power to connect to a few crows and manipulated the crows to observe.Sure enough, a row of "strange things" appeared on Leoric's city wall.The shape of this thing is very similar to that of a cannon, but it is made of glass, with weird runes painted on it, and many hollowed-out metal decorations, all of which are filled with blue liquid.

Strange, really strange!

Chapter 290 Five: Your Excellency, Times Have Changed Again

But Kuman intuitively believed that something that Leoric would never come up with at this critical moment must not be simple!It is estimated that it is a killer feature.He has never heard of this thing in intelligence, so what is this?

Now that the arrow is on the string, the army has advanced to a distance of [-] steps, and there is absolutely no reason to retreat!Kuman wouldn't let a few glass tubes scare him away.He said loudly: "Continue to attack! Leoric's most powerful thing is the lava cannon. If the cannon is broken, he will be powerless."

In fact, Kuman and a few Crow's Eye priests were the only ones who noticed those "strange things" in the entire army.If Kuman doesn't say anything, the people below won't be able to see it, and naturally the appearance of this thing won't affect morale.

"Six hundred paces!" said the scout.

"Ready!" The cannon will be within range in no time.

At this moment, those "strange things" in Wild Wolf City suddenly burst out with blue light.

"Om-!"

It was not the sound of cannon, nor was it any familiar sound, nor was it any sound that existed in nature.It sounds muffled, raspy, distorted, distorted, and piercing to the soul.As soon as the sound appeared, everyone felt their souls shake. In an instant, there was a strange silence on the battlefield. No matter whether they were people or animals, they all raised their heads and looked at the blue sky that slid over their heads. color meteor.

so beautiful!

Then, the meteor exploded like fireworks and turned into blue raindrops all over the sky.

Before they could see what it was, the blue raindrops fell on the barbarian warriors, and immediately, the entire army turned into a hell on earth.The soldiers fell to the ground one by one, covering their faces or heads and screaming loudly. The wounds of those hit by the blue raindrops were blackened, and then began to bleed like water leaks.

Even the bravest knight is afraid at this moment!Didn't it mean that Leoric doesn't have a lava cannon, so what is this?Is it magic?Is it divine punishment?Is it because Heavenly Father is angry and wants to punish us?The knights did not dare to move forward, and immediately turned around to avoid the firepower of Wild Wolf City. The infantry and artillery in the rear were directly exposed to the firepower of Wild Wolf City.

"Protect the cannon, you idiots!" Kuman ordered hoarsely, but no one paid attention to him.

Immediately afterwards, waves of "blue meteors" struck, and Kuman's cannons were all covered by the blue fireworks. The artillerymen fell to the ground wailing, and the cannons were blasted into a pile of scrap iron.

"What is this!" Kuman was dumbfounded, "What the hell is this! Isn't the lava cannon gone... No, the lava cannon doesn't look like this either!"

It's no wonder that Cuman doesn't know this thing. After all, few people in Middle-earth now know these weapons.

The magic cannon, after 200 years, once again played on Middle-earth!The underground people who developed this weapon once thought of completely sealing this cruel weapon, but the plateau people said: "Our enemy is the devil! When the demons slaughtered us, did they have the slightest kindness? Treat them as they should The more brutal the better." That's why the weapon was kept.

This is a weapon with an extremely long range. It has two modes, one is the cannon mode for siege, and the other is the scattering mode for killing personnel.Now Leoric is using the second mode, the shell will explode in mid-air, forming countless fragments contaminated with magic energy, just like a fragment grenade.The debris fell from the sky, raining down on the soldiers below.What's more terrible is that these fragments are all attached with corrosive potion, once they penetrate into the body, it will cause a large area of ​​skin to fester; except for those heavily armored soldiers who are armed to the teeth, almost no one can survive from it.

When Leoric first tested these weapons, he realized that the performance of the magic cannon was far better than that of the lava cannon. As soon as this thing came out, the lava cannon should be retired.And he, Li, will also put down the script of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and go further and further in the style of "independent leader".

And Kuman was fortunate to be the first wave of people to be baptized by the magic cannon after 200 years. Congratulations!

At this time, the scene was getting out of control, and Kuman's infantry and cavalry began to collapse both physically and psychologically under the baptism of artillery fire!If Leoric is allowed to launch a few more rounds of the "Blue Meteor Cannon", this siege battle will be completely over!

Kuman's first thought was to let the archers and other long-range firepower fight back, but he found desperately that the enemy's range far exceeded our army's!Whether it is an archer, a catapult or a ballista, this distance cannot hit the city wall at all!

Then Kuman wanted to retreat again, but this idea was immediately denied by himself-now calling for retreat, our army will be defeated immediately!At that time, there will be deserters and prisoners of the establishment, and I will lose control of the entire army. In that case, it will not be as simple as losing a battle. I, Kuman, may die here!

As the most valued nephew of the Crow King and the son-in-law of the Dragon King Brin, Kuman is quite capable.He calmed down, and while observing the situation, he thought about what other cards he could play.Suddenly, Kuman discovered something. Although these "magic cannons" are powerful, they are not much different from ordinary cannons in structure. The cannons are mounted on the city wall, and there must be dead spots under the city wall!You can't shoot straight down, can you?

Kuman saw his "life gate"!

"Advance!" He ordered loudly, "Below the city wall is the blind spot for cannon shooting. Advance is victory, and retreat is death! Overseer, kill those who retreat! General, vanguard, cavalry, charge me!"

The Crow's Eye Priest, the messenger and the standard bearer hurriedly conveyed his order. However, the soldiers had already been blasted out of their bodies by the cannon. They could only cry and run away. How could they have the courage to charge forward?The reason why Cuman's army is not defeated now is because there are so many people, and the people behind have not been bombarded.

Kuman saw that his order could not be passed on, although he was annoyed, he did not panic.Because Kuman still has three cards!

Kuman's first card is his "good friends" legion!Kuman's "good friends" now number more than [-] people, all of whom are military generals. Under Kuman's "heart-to-heart technique", these people have already turned into a group of lunatics. As long as he gives an order, they are willing to die for him. die.

"Good friends!" Kuman shouted, "Come and help me!"

The "good friends" have always been by his side. Upon hearing this, they all came over and said, "My lord! What can we do?" "Lord Cuman!"

Kuman said: "You have also seen that our soldiers are timid and afraid of fighting. If we continue like this, we must lose! We need a group of warriors to inspire people. You are all heroes among the people I have carefully selected! It is also my Kuman. Man's best, most loyal and bravest friend, I hope everyone can stand up at this time and show your courage!"

After hearing this, the faces of many good friends present turned green with fright. Some of these people did go crazy and were willing to die for Kuman.However, most people still retained a sliver of reason. They glanced at Kuman's face, then at the meteor shower outside, and finally at their own flesh and blood.They are clearly aware that if they do this "brave", they will definitely die.

The screams of the soldiers made the scalp numb; the explosion of the magic cannon was deafening.The fear of death brought these people back to normal people's rationality, they flinched and did not dare to go forward, with panic and anger in their expressions.

Kuman shouted: "Good friends! What's the matter with you? Have you forgotten our friendship? How did we talk to each other? Are you even cowards?"

At this moment, someone said: "No, Cuman, I'm not a coward, but I don't want to die either! Let's face it, we can't beat Leoric, if this continues, everyone will die..."

"puff!"

A bloody knife tip appeared on the man's chest.

It turned out that a loyal "good friend" stabbed him in the back.

"Crack!" The man pulled out his knife, and the body suddenly fell down.

The murderer was a warrior from the Jinshi tribe, the man who punched Kuman in the bath back then. He was the most loyal and craziest of them all.

He said loudly: "I think you are all scared out of your wits by Leoric! You even forgot Lord Cuman's friendship!"

"Since you dare not, then I will set an example!" He said, taking a deep leap and riding on the horse.Then he let out a hoarse roar, "For Mr. Kuman!" He rushed up like this.

This man is brave enough and crazy enough, but there are very few people who follow him.Kuman was annoyed, and shouted: "Cowards, cowards!" He drew his sword and killed a few people indiscriminately, saying: "You still have a chance to go up, and you will die if you stay! Dragon warriors!"

With Kuman's roar, several dragonmen surrounded him.Those dragonmen were dressed in dragon scale battle armor and held long spears, all of them were murderous.

The good friends thought: since it is a one-time death anyway, it might as well be a wave!If you can capture the city, not only will you save your life, but it will be a great achievement!

So, everyone was once again occupied by the "crazy friendship", and then rushed to the battlefield screaming.

Not to mention, this trick really works.The best friends are all generals, and the worst ones are tribal nobles. They are all famous people.The soldiers lost their courage at first, but when they suddenly saw this group of adults rushing forward desperately, they were also encouraged. The bloody courage in their hearts was stimulated, and they all shouted and followed.

But fighting is not just about courage!

The guards above Wild Wolf City are waiting for you to rush up and send them off!The bed crossbows, catapults, and archers were all in place, and with Audero's order, all kinds of long-range firepower poured down like mudslides.The cavalry were the first to knock down a large area, and the infantry relied on their shields to block the wave, but many people died. Nearly half of the "good friends" were lost, and the bravest and most loyal "Golden Stone Warrior" was pierced through the chest by a bed crossbow and nailed to the ground.

Kuman shouted loudly: "Continue to charge, you will be safe when you reach the city wall. Below the city wall is their dead angle for shooting!"

At the same time, Leoric on the city wall was also paying attention to the changes in the situation. He saw Kuman's men rushing to the lower part of the city wall under fire, and he was puzzled: Why are these barbarians so brave?Don't wait for the ladder car behind, don't wait for the car to rush, what's the matter, all of them are powerful king kong, want to break through the wall physically?

If Leoric knew Kuman's thoughts, he would definitely scold him at this moment: You idiot!Stuck in my shooting blind spot?Then I just throw the shells down, won't it be over!

Yes, Kuman made a "habitual error".The cannons in the past were all stone-shooting cannons. To put it bluntly, a cannonball is a solid projectile, and the lethality mainly depends on the kinetic energy of the shot; while the magic energy cannon is essentially a projectile cannon, and what is shot is a projectile!This thing will explode!It has great power in itself, so if you throw it directly under the city wall without using cannons, the power will not decrease.

At this time, a sea of ​​barbarians piled up at the base of the wall, just like a city besieged by zombies. Leoric immediately gave an order, saying, "Throw stones!"

It is said to be stone throwing, but the things thrown are not only stones, in addition to heavy boulders, there are also barrels of hot oil, asphalt, gold juice, bricks, and the most deadly magic energy shells.

Flowers exploded immediately under the city wall, whether it was a good friend or an ordinary soldier, it was too late to open the situation, and they were blown up by the magic energy shells.The good friends fell into a pool of blood and shouted: "Lord Kuman, save me!" However, Kuman looked indifferent at this time——all his good friends are dead, so there is no need for him to put on such a strange look to others. read.

The first card has been played, the effect is not good, then I have a second card,

Kuman's second card is to use crows to carry out "three-dimensional intelligence warfare".Through the crow, he can quickly transmit information and command the battlefield in real time.While other generals were still planning with a network delay of more than 10 minutes, Kuman was already relying on crows for micro-management.On this point, he was on par with Leoric.

The northern battlefield is finished, but I still have the south, west and east!We'll fight it out there, Leoric!

Relying on the high-altitude vision of the crow and the instant dissemination of information, I can form a precise command on every battlefield. Your flower fairy is not my opponent!

Thinking of this, Kuman got excited again. He waved his hand and said, "Sacrifice, gather all the information into my mind!"

The priest was startled and said, "My lord, your brain..."

"Just a few minutes, it's okay! Quick!"

"Yes!"

Both the Crow's Eye Priest and Cuman have a spiritual connection with the crows, and what the crows see will be directly transmitted to the priests' minds.However, this kind of connection needs to consume mental power. If it is used too much, or it takes a long time, it will make people feel dizzy, even nosebleeds, fainting, going crazy, etc., which consumes people's mind very much.

However, Kuman and these priests have received professional training, and their brains have a relatively large capacity, so they will not be blown out so easily.

At this time, Kuman connected thousands of crows to his mind at the same time, and for a while, countless pictures appeared in his mind.Kuman closed his eyes and filtered out the invalid images, leaving only a hundred or so valid images.This can not only observe information efficiently, but also reduce the calculation consumption of the brain to protect his sanity.

Then, he saw the four walls of Wolf City, saw the soldiers on the battlefield in all directions scurrying like crazy rats, and saw Leoric's Northern Expeditionary Army pouring barrels of hot oil, baskets by baskets Stones and shells were dropped along the city wall; blue flames splashed everywhere, and the fire filled the battlefield like a torrent, and there were screams everywhere.

At first glance, the defenders had the upper hand.However, Kuman knew that as long as he observed more deeply, he would be able to discover the flaws in Wild Wolf City.At this time, he asked the crows to lower their height, let some of them observe the inner side of the city wall, and the other part of the crows observed the streets and buildings of Wild Wolf City.

Sure enough, Kuman found some useful clues. It turns out that the defense of the four walls of Wild Wolf City is uneven, and the number of cannons is also uneven.Leoric took out a total of twelve "blue glass cannons", six of which were placed on the most intense main battlefield, and two on each of the other city walls, and the number of soldiers was also the largest at the north gate, and less in the other three directions. .He also saw that there was a reserve team in the city, ready to support the dangerous city wall at any time, and he also saw that in his own battlefield, the south had suffered an irreversible defeat; the west and north also suffered heavy casualties; , The main general is also a veteran he can trust, so there was a stalemate, and even a wave almost attacked the city wall.Leoric's reserves now appear to be sending reinforcements to the east.A flash of inspiration flashed in Kuman's mind, and he already had an idea. He thought to himself: I just need to get the troops in the east moving, and then...

"Gah-!"

A piercing scream crashed into his mind like a bolt from the blue!Kuman suddenly felt extremely painful, and then saw a black whirlwind soaring into the sky!At that moment, the crows of the blood crow were terrified, and collectively uttered a mournful cry. These thousands of negative emotions also directly impacted the blood crow's mind, making him feel a heavy hammer on his head, and he didn't feel relieved for a long time Come on.

When he regained consciousness a little bit, he realized that it was not a black whirlwind, but a flock of crows!

These black crows huddled together, like a black bull floating in the air, roaring and rushed towards Kuman's crows.Kuman's crow was completely unprepared, and was beaten directly.The black crows were strong, ferocious, and funny, and when they jumped up, they clawed, pecked, and even flapped their wings, beating the bloody crows to pieces.For a moment, the screams in the sky were deafening, and the smelly blood drops fell together with the red feathers, dyeing the sky of Wild Wolf City red.

Countless crows died, and the pain of the crows when they were dying was all transmitted to Cuman's mind. He suddenly felt as if his brain was about to explode, and quickly cut off the spiritual connection with the crows.He raised his head and looked at the sky in horror, thinking:

Where are there so many black crows in Wild Wolf City?

Could it be that my uncle's undead is against me! ?

Six 827 Seven 1

Chapter 290 Six: Take the initiative to attack

Could it be that my uncle's undead is against me?Kuman thought so.

Kuman's guess can be right or wrong.

At first, Leoric wanted to choose the Crow King to go to the "Kantel" blood crow, but the Crow King was unwilling to fight with his nephew, so Leoric didn't force him to join the battle——Leoric hoped that his men People are willing to work for him, instead of relying on tyranny to control people.If the Crow King is forced by the "curse", it will not be conducive to uniting comrades, and it will definitely plant the seeds of disaster for the future.

What's more, the Crow King is a "sense of flattery". He saw that Leoric didn't force him to do something he didn't want to do, but instead changed his attitude and said, "Well, my lord, you respect me, and I respect you too." You, I will teach your people how to tame crows, so that you can also control crows to fight against blood crows."

That's right, it's also about raising crows. A blood crow is a crow, but isn't a black crow a crow?In terms of raising crows, the Crow King is a generation older than the Blood Crow!The crows bred carefully are big, good, and very ferocious. If you want to ask why the crow king can raise better birds?It's simple: the crows in Wolf City have meat to eat!And Cuman's crow was hungry all day long.

The black crows are fat like big roosters, and the blood crows are all hungry like sparrows. How can we fight this battle?

At this time, the "Black Crow Priest" was standing on the high platform of the city lord's mansion, manipulating the black crow to fight the blood crow.Leoric's "crow priests" are all black-robed nuns, and the high priest is the head of the black-robed nuns—Miss Feite.

There are two reasons why the black-robed nun was allowed to control the black crow. The first one is because the painting style is relatively similar, and they are all black!The trait of crow and mourner is also a good match.Due to religion and customs, other soldiers will have some psychological barriers when manipulating crows, but the nuns have none at all.

The other is because these nuns generally have relatively strong spiritual power.According to Feite, mental power and "guts" are the same thing. They deal with various corpses every day, and if they are super courageous, they naturally have plenty of mental power.There is some truth to this statement, Leoric's mental strength is honed through repeated "nervous breakdowns" - death and fear are like a hammer, forging a person's spirit again and again.

However, Feite's mental power is too strong, right?She was able to control thousands of crows by herself, which probably could not be explained by "courageous".

Leoric has always been curious about Feite's affairs. During the period, he sent someone to check the background of Feite and Fu's background, but the two little girls are innocent. They are a pair of orphans who grew up in the temple. nothing to say.Fette's matter, I'm afraid it can only be explained as a talent.

Closer to home.Facing the powerful black crow army, the army of blood crows was defeated in an instant. These flat-haired beasts ran really fast, and the birds disappeared in the blink of an eye. This kind of running speed made the soldiers under the city wall terrified. Envious.

The Crow Legion had a bad start and dealt a double blow to Kuman's side. The first was the loss of the air supremacy in the sky, and Kuman could no longer conduct precise micro-manipulation of the army.Due to over-reliance on the crow intelligence system, there are almost no traditional scouts, messengers, etc. in Cuman's army. method to play.On the other hand, the crow is the symbol of the Cuman Legion and the incarnation of himself. The army of this era is somewhat superstitious. When the soldiers see blood crows dying one by one, the already fragile psychological defense will appear "sustainable." Crash," morale plummeted again.

Kuman certainly foresees this future.At this moment, he was in a hurry, thinking: the ground battlefield is about to end, if the sky is lost, then this battle will really be impossible to fight!He shouted: "Priests, let out more crows! I order you to supervise the battle yourself!"

Hearing this, the priests were all shocked, thinking: Isn't this asking us to die?If you establish a spiritual connection with the crows in the sky at this time, it means that the priests will experience the feeling of death of the crows "full juice and flavor", and they will die several times in a second, and they will inevitably have mental breakdown, madness, and sudden death .However, the priests all knew Kuman's cruel methods. If they disobeyed his orders, it would not be as simple as death.So knowing the danger, he had no choice but to bite the bullet!

So the priests took over the spirit of the crows, allowing the defeated army of blood crows to gather again, and counterattacked against Leoric's black crows.
