Chapter 78 78 SiegeZorn really wanted to curse, he really wanted to point to the opposite city wall hanging on A row of dragon heads, loudly questioned the bastard general Moss from the Holy Demon Emperor country in front of him: "Why can't you see that your giant dragon heads are all hanging on the city wall? Are you blind?"
But he really didn't dare, for a moment, he really envied the enemies on the opposite city wall, at least they had the courage to fight in front of the army of the Holy Demon Emperor, at least they could fight against the War Saint The army of the Demon Emperor will not die.
He has no rifles, no machine guns, no cannons and no anti-aircraft guns, so he can only at this time submit to humiliation, disguise himself as a coward, and humble himself in front of the generals of the Holy Demon Emperor 's head.
So, no matter how much he cursed and annoyed in his heart, what he said with one mouth turned into a low-key answer: "I will order the troops to attack Maricha... Soon, in the morning, I will definitely be able to. Attack!"
"As soon as possible!" A little unable to suppress his rage, General Moss took the reins of the warhorse and walked back proudly, his pride was too great There are many more, such as the invincible 3,000 giant horse cavalry behind him.
"It's definitely not enough to count on these mortals. Let them consume the opponent first. Let's also take a look at the mortals on the opposite side. How many catties and how many taels are there." The army, Commander Moss said to several lieutenants around him.
What he brought were all cavalry, which were not really suitable for attacking the opponent's city wall. Originally, he thought that the siege of the city should be left to the Dragon Knight of Ildo. He was only responsible for following the infantry of the Arrant Empire and pushing it all the way to Serris City.
Who would have imagined that, due to unforeseen circumstances, Ildo's Dragon Knight forces suffered heavy losses in Maricha and lost their ability to attack large cities. And all the cavalry I brought here are not suitable for joining the siege battle - in fact, it is not impossible to attack the city, but when attacking the city, the impact of these giant horse cavalry will be greatly reduced.
Under normal circumstances, they can only attack the city gate, and use the impact of the giant horse devil beast to hit open the city gates. In this way, it is inevitable to lose some giant horse cavalry, because the opponent's city gate will basically prepare some things like boiling oil and kerosene.
In addition, when mortal troops are generally defending, they like to use boulders behind the city gate to die to prevent the opponent from breaking in. Therefore, he took the risk with the giant horse cavalry, and General Moss was still reluctant.
In his heart, mortals can be consumed, and letting the soldiers of the Arrant Empire go to their deaths to test out the strength of the other party is what should be done before the war. As for the death or immortality of the soldiers of the Arrant Empire, that's not something he needs to worry about.
On the other side, Zon, who had already agreed to organize an attack, began to dispatch troops with a gray face: "Let the three ten thousand troops in front gather and prepare to attack Maricha! Bring our The red-clothed cannon was pushed up..."
"Are you crazy?" Seeing that General Zorn was about to start an attack, Prince Arrant Rumback grabbed Zorn's arm with some reluctance. He asked, "Can't you see the heads of so many giant dragons hanging on the head of the city over there?"
"I see! But what can I do? If we don't attack now, These 3,000 Saint Demon Emperor cavalry can slaughter our army of hundreds of thousands in just one morning!" Zon shook off Lumbark's hand and explained reluctantly.
"I'm just pretending, try to attack, lose some soldiers and retreat..." He was lucky, feeling that the loss of 18,000 people would block the mouth of the commander of the Holy Demon Emperor. A good deal.
"Then have you ever thought about it, now it's obviously a Divine Immortal fight! We intervene rashly, and if Alanhill really insists, we still have a little bit of good fruit to eat?" As an Imperial Family, Buck naturally must be in order to find a way out for his own family.
He felt that he couldn't fight against Alanhill right now. Instead, he wanted the Holy Demon Emperor to attack Alanhill first, and when the winner came out, Arrant would stand on the side of the winner. Even if there is a price to pay for it, it is bearable.
"Idiot!" Zon still pushed Rumbach away, angrily said: "The Holy Demon Emperor has won, and the Arrant Empire has a glimmer of survival, even struggling on whilst at death's door for a few seconds. Hundred years! But if any mortal empire rises, is there still a need for the Arrant Empire to exist?"
"His..." After General Zorn said this, Lumbach realized that, As if he just thought, the kind of peace based on diplomatic compromise does not seem to guarantee the security of the Arrant Empire.
At this time, he finally realized that this world has really changed. As a mortal, if he wants to keep his position, he can only follow the Saint Demon Emperor wholeheartedly and be a henchman. . In his opinion, this feeling is really bad, very bad.
Zorn ignored Rumbach, who had lost his mind, and continued to give orders to several officers around him to fight. He wants to press at least 30,000 troops to test whether the defenders in Marichae can still fight.
"Wow...!" The long horn sound echoed in the sky, and green battle flags fluttered in the wind. The soldiers of the Arrant Empire slowly walked out of the forest and slowly formed a huge phalanx on the plain outside the city wall of Maricha.
Some soldiers were holding shields, some soldiers were carrying long ladders, and behind them, one after another, red-clothed cannons were pushed out, looking majestic, with slanted muzzles. Point to the sky.
"dong dong! dong dong!" The dull drums of war began to sound, and the densely packed Arrant imperial army began to form three huge phalanxes under the restraint of the officers. The long spear is like a forest, with a majesty and arrogance from afar.
Go ahead! The commanding generals pulled out their long swords around their waists and pointed at Maricha. With their torn shouts, the phalanx of the Arrant Empire began to slowly move forward.
However, their footsteps are a bit trembling in fear. Because these soldiers saw through the gaps in the shields, the blood dragons that were unforgettable but also hard to ignore.
A soldier stepped forward cautiously, and asked his comrades in a frightened whisper: "Did you see those dragon heads? Did the Dragon Knights who followed us before were all killed? Are you here?"
"Stop it, my calf is weak! Isn't that a joke let's attack an enemy who can kill so many Dragon Knights?" Another soldier holding a shield , replied in quiver language.
Any sensible soldier now knows that they are heading for great danger. Maybe the huge city in front of him will suddenly come to life, open his bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl and swallow all the Arrant soldiers.
However, when the soldiers of the Arrant Empire approached to a distance of less than 200 meters, Mariza still did not fire. Although there was a dull sound of artillery fire in the city, these shells did not fall among the soldiers of the Arrant Empire.
Not because the shells were missed, but because they all landed on the artillery positions of the Arrant Empire. Those red-clothed cannons, which cost a lot of money to build, were blown into a pile of scrap iron by the shells without even sending out angry roars.
Looking at the constantly exploding artillery positions of his own side, Moss, the commander of the Holy Demon Emperor who had been watching the entire battle, finally changed his face. He wondered if he could avoid such a shelling.
In the end, he came to his own conclusion: Although it is unlikely that all such shelling could be avoided, it was not terrifying to the giant horse cavalry. Fighting for the loss of dozens of Knights and bringing the distance closer is still something that can be done for the devil beast cavalry of the Holy Demon Emperor.
"bang!" About one minute later, after destroying the Arrant Imperial artillery, Alanhill's artillery finally began to attack the attacking Arrant Imperial infantry phalanx. With only one salvo, the 10,000-strong team of the Arrant Empire closest to the city wall collapsed in the sound of the cannon.
Because it is a defensive operation and has complete shooting parameters, the artillery of Alanhill is quite accurate. About 40 shells landed on a phalanx of infantry at the same time, without wasting any firepower.
40 high-explosive shells fall almost at the same time, and each shell can almost make hundreds of people lose their battle strength. Because the Arrant Empire used a dense phalanx when attacking the city, its lethality was absolutely unparalleled.
Then, the Arrant Empire's infantry phalanx, after losing about 2,000 people, quickly disintegrated - these soldiers were originally afraid of attacking Mariza, and now the Great Demon King has really come In the world, these soldiers of course have no courage to fight.
So after losing one-fifth of its troops, the 10,000-strong team began to retreat. Despite the urgings of their commanders and Small Captains, the routed soldiers would not go any further.
It turned out that they were relatively lucky, because another phalanx of Arrant imperial infantry close to the city head was hit by even more terrifying firepower from the Maricha defenders.
Hundreds of soldiers pulled the trigger behind the mound, and the bullets of the rifle flew into the crowd, spattering blood inside—before they could figure out what horrific thing had happened to them, The second round volley on the city head began.
Before the Arrant Empire soldiers made up their minds to fight, another round of artillery fell on their heads. The originally chaotic formation was completely chaotic, and within a few breaths of this square, about 3,000 people were lost.
