Chapter 152 Night battle fortress, the power of artillery!
Winter nights come very early.

At about five o'clock in the evening, the sky has completely darkened.

Unlike the golden glow of other seasons, the winter sun turns gray after sunset.

More than 1000 orc warriors were dressed in armor and equipment.

This is the treatment when they already regard the garrison of the war fortress as the elite of the empire.

When facing an ordinary army, the orcs didn't even bother to wear such things as armor.

Generally, a slightly hard leather armor is used to relieve the scars of the blade.

But the terrifying lethality in the war fortress forced them to pay attention again, and wear special armor for protection to reduce casualties.

Especially Fuji, before the army officially attacked, she also used the group promotion technique to temporarily strengthen the various resistances of the orc army and improve their combat capabilities.

When everything was ready, the thousand orcs scattered from the shadows to fight on their own, and quickly approached the war fortress.

The tree bunkers within a radius of 300 meters of the war fortress have been cleared, but because there are beast general level orcs joining the battle this time, their strength and speed are extremely ferocious.

The distance of [-] meters was crossed in less than ten seconds. If it weren't for the explosion of the minefield, the soldiers in the war fortress might not have noticed the sneak attack.

"boom--"

The first beast general to step on a landmine unluckily exploded with several landmines due to inertial problems.

Finally, the smoke dissipated, leaving only an arm holding a scimitar.

The other beasts will see this scene, and before they get close to the minefield, they will jump and plan to cross here.

However, the soldiers who had already been alerted immediately activated the lights of the war fortress, and dozens of dazzling rays of light shot out from the fortress, illuminating the surrounding area.

In the next second, the quick-reacting soldier had pulled his weapon and fired the first shot of the second round of battle.

"Boom-boom-boom-"

"Da da da - da da da - da da da -"

In an instant, the battlefield was full of flames, and there were several explosions.

Although the beast general who reacted jumped up, he didn't know the distance of the minefield. After jumping over ten meters, he still stepped on the mine and was taken away by the violent shock wave.

But the orc's reaction ability on the battlefield is also extremely fast. In an instant, he realized that someone must lie in the mine and open a safe passage for the follow-up army.

In just a split second, the scattered orcs made a decision and took action.

Using the corpses of the same race that had already died in battle as a trigger, rolling over caused a chain explosion. Seeing that this scene had an effect, other orcs recruited to reuse the corpses of their own race.

But some who couldn't find the corpses used themselves as detonators to cross the minefield as quickly as possible and trigger more mines.

Orcs, though not without the idea of ​​using remote activation of mines, but the first to do so have been blown to pieces.

It is indeed feasible to use the range of strength to attack the ground in front of them. This trick is indeed feasible to trigger the landmines, but the speed of the ejection and explosion of the landmines is far faster than their withdrawal speed.

Moreover, the laying of landmines is all random, and it is not clear how many landmines there are in a straight line. Using the corpses of the same family as detonators is already the fastest choice.

A circle of 20 meters wide minefield, under the breakthrough of the orcs, opened six safe entrances in less than 30 seconds, and the orcs poured in from it.

But the price paid was the corpses of eleven beast generals, and more than fifty mixed high-level and middle-level dead in battle.

The remaining beast generals who were the first to break in had gathered together and began to bombard the fortress with all their strength, trying to break through the fortress and enter the interior.

But the strength of the war fortress far exceeded the expectations of the orcs. The warrior orcs were all high-level peaks, and they were about to enter the master level.

The destructive power gathered is also amazing, and this only caused some not deep and not shallow dents on the cement surface, and did not cause substantial damage.

Seeing this scene, the beast generals immediately dispersed, went to help the follow-up troops, and carried the large equipment for the siege.

In order to prevent being destroyed by artillery, the prepared siege equipment was transported and set off by ten teams at the same time, and more preparations will be made later.

After the first battle in the afternoon, the orcs also learned coping experience from it. When attacking, the entire team dispersed very far, and had a reaction and an irregular forward route.

This change prevented the soldiers from slaughtering orcs as recklessly as they did the first time.

However, although the combat efficiency dropped a lot, none of the orcs that should be killed were missed.

The orcs who broke through found that they could not cause damage to the fortress, so they quickly surrounded the fortress to find weak entrances and tried.

The only entrance to the war fortress is at the inner corner facing the east, where the dark gray manganese steel gate is quietly blocking all orcs who want to enter.

A manganese steel gate weighs [-] tons, and after one is opened, there are two behind it.

This weight is difficult for ordinary machinery to lift and switch smoothly. This step can only be handled by the magic engine, and it is after performance enhancement.

Although Fuji in the rear did not directly participate in the battle, relying on her extraordinary perception ability and sharing it with Gevis in real time, she formed a special war command system.

Fuji, who knew all about the situation inside the war fortress, directly conveyed the attack order to every orc soldier.

The seemingly messy orcs in Wuxi actually have their own mission goals. Once they fall down, someone will immediately fill them up and continue the mission.

The temptation this time has made Fuji and Goves give up the idea of ​​breaking into the fortress, and now the only task is to find out the weak points of the human fortress as much as possible, and come up with a way to deal with it next time.

"Attack the hole on the upper right, destroy it as much as possible, so that the opponent can no longer shoot from it."

"The entrance has three floors, and the structure is a hanging door winch type, which destroys the ground as much as possible, so as to prepare for the subsequent opening of the first door."

"Give up the attack at the top, the third three-story gap on the left, the opponent is about to fire, block him!"

……

The order after order was delivered quickly, and this kind of control at the level of a thousand people, Rao Fu Ji, was extraordinary, and under the command for a long time, she had more energy than energy.

But fortunately, all the goals could be achieved. When the battle was over half, the two stopped the attack and let the orcs retreat to rest.

Inside the War Fortress, Maltz looked at the retreating orcs with a tired look on his face.

This time the orcs' attack was obviously stronger and faster than the first time, and it was very targeted.

Like the firing of a cannon, the opponent seemed to be able to accurately predict his own opening, and directly slapped the orc's body to block the shell.

Such an explosion almost injured everyone inside the fortress, but fortunately nothing happened.

After being blocked twice, the gunners also realized that the opponent was targeted, so when they opened fire, they did not fire immediately, but waited randomly for a second or two before coming back.

Although this violates the operation, there is no way to effectively combat it.

The opening of the muzzle has a conical circular hole about [-] centimeters. When the fire is not fired, this conical circular hole will be closed, and it is blocked by a manganese steel layer.

The [-]-centimeter round hole is considered the largest opening in the fortress. If the opponent takes precautions, attacking when it is opened may cause damage to the artillery.

With the second withdrawal of the orc army, the outside of the Battle Fortress was covered with corpses, and the smell of blood drifted wantonly in the cold wind.

After the orcs retreated for the second time, the soldiers in the war fortress did not cheer, but continued to silently check their guns and reload their bullets.

They also knew that the orcs' attack would become more violent at night. They now needed to prepare for all battles every time they could rest, and adjust their state of rest so that they could guarantee to deal with every battle with all their strength.

In the orc camp, although this attack failed to meet the expected plan, it made full preparations for the third attack.

Whether it is understanding the fortress of war, or destroying the fortress, the orcs will attack with all their strength in the third attack.

Fuji and Gevis have already discussed with Hadley, the attack at night may cost the lives of nearly ten thousand orcs, and this is just a battle against a fortress.

Hadley also knew that this loss was inevitable. As the dominant side, he had to take down this fortress now, control the elemental leylines, and let the army have a very stable rear support.

……

The time for the third raid was around eleven o'clock in the evening.

After six hours of hard work, the orc engineers had assembled six trebuchets for siege, and also built two catapults.

In addition to these necessary siege equipment, the orcs also specially used the surrounding materials to build a lot of ladders and wooden boards specially used to clear the minefields.

The main source of the second loss was being stuck in minefields, which led humans to concentrate on attacking the roads opened by several minefields.

This is an extremely unfavorable thing for the orcs. The road they pass through the minefield is only that big, and the opponent's constant attacks have made several safe passages in the minefield covered with the blood and corpses of their compatriots.

After the [-] orc warriors received the final order, they prepared their assault teams from different directions, followed the orders and prepared to launch continuous attacks.

This time, not only ordinary orc soldiers will attack, but also master-level beast generals will attack together. They will turn into ordinary soldiers, mix in the army, and launch a fatal blow to the fortress at any time!
Goves saw that the time was almost up, so he signaled to the trumpeter that it was time to launch the trumpet for the general attack.

The orc trumpeter who received the order blew the two-meter-high curved horn with all his strength, carrying a thick and melodious horn sound that spread three to five kilometers away.

"Ugh-"

……

The soldiers who were eating supper to maintain their strength heard the horn, and immediately put down their bowls and looked around vigilantly. Under the illumination of the magic spotlight, there was no abnormality within a radius of 300 meters of the war fortress.

But at the same time, the six trebuchets have launched their orc counterattack!
Six incendiary bombs filled with grease and burning materials flew out from among the treetops like meteors in the darkness, crossed the sky high and landed on the war fortress.

"Boom-boom-boom-"

The exploded incendiary bomb shot out huge flames on the surface of the war fortress.

Rao, the soldier in the fort, also felt the baptism of this heat wave.

But it was just warm and comfortable, and no serious damage was done.

And this is only the first round of attacks, and then every 30 seconds, the orcs will launch a round.

The first three rounds are all about fueling flaming items, trying to burn a passage through.

But found that this was of no use, so he replaced it with a boulder and began to use gravity acceleration to cause damage to the war fortress.

Needless to say, a boulder weighing more than 100 kilograms fell from the sky and really caused some damage to the war fortress.

The part that hit first showed signs of cracks, and a large amount of cement debris fell off, exposing the internal steel structure.

Seeing that the attack was effective, the orc commander continued to order the use of trebuchets to attack first.

Inside the fortress, Maltz came to the artillery layer on the third floor and was asking about the calculation of the magic artillery.

"Can the opponent's position be calculated? Although the attack of this trebuchet will not cause much damage to the fortress, if this continues, it will be opened sooner or later."

"We haven't learned the ballistics of trebuchets before, we all learned the ballistics of artillery fire... It's a bit difficult to find, but the calculation ideas of both should be the same... Don't wait..."

There was also a thin layer of sweat on the forehead of the soldier who was in charge of artillery training. You must know that this was in the severe winter of November, so one can imagine how anxious he is now.

Although this may also be largely due to the heating temperature being able to maintain...

As the last character data appeared, the computing soldier shouted.

"Okay, but I can't guarantee the accuracy, but the approximate direction and distance can be correct. The fifth position of the magic cannon is filled with two flares, and all the latter are filled with letter high-explosive bombs."

Hearing the command to count the soldiers, the surrounding gunners immediately began to replace the shells on the reserved 'magazine' on the magic artillery, and filled the twelve shells in sequence.

"Flare launch angle, height 85, azimuth 300 and 305, let the observers on the head pay attention to the hit situation in this direction and report in time."

"emission!"

After completing the preparatory process, move to the magic cannon on the fifth gun position, open the firing port, and shoot two special lighting projectiles into the sky.

The specially modified flares can stay in the sky for up to half an hour after launching into the sky, and the modified light can light up an area within a radius of more than 200 meters at an altitude of 500 meters.

The two rounds of 'sun' rising in the sky took the orcs side by surprise. There are many such things in the Imperial Army.

In the night battle, the empire used this thing to settle the disadvantages of the night, which is also a kind of prop that their orcs hate.

"Mother and mother high-explosive bombs, height 15, azimuth 301, 303, 305, each azimuth is called a test shot, let it go!"

Looking at the comparison table, the calculation soldier immediately shouted the data of the next attack.

The magic cannon that didn't need to be loaded immediately turned its direction, and the three shells were all fired in the designated direction in less than six seconds.

The biggest feature of high-explosive bombs is straight-line damage, and the goal of this attack is to completely destroy the trees and bushes that block the view.

A five-meter-wide and 30-meter-long high-explosive shell area with a killing radius of 500 meters, instantly cleared an airspace of nearly [-] square meters.

The observers on the fourth floor discovered the position of the opponent's trebuchet at this moment, and immediately calculated the distance and reported it to the artillery position.

"The trebuchet's position is between 350-450 meters away, and the orientation is correct."

After getting this answer, the calculation soldier also ordered decisively.

"The height has been changed to 16, and the angles are still the same as those three, filled with high-explosive bombs, four rounds at each corner!"

At this moment, the loading advantage of the magic cannon was completely revealed. In the empty slot where the five rounds had just been fired, the ammunition filling personnel left to load the arm-thick shells.

Five shells can be loaded in less than five seconds, which is the efficiency of the cooperation of many people.

After the installation was completed, the angle of the steering gear had also been adjusted. In the next second, the Magic Cannon fired at an astonishing speed, pouring twelve shells out in just 15 seconds.

The orc trebuchet position at the impact point of the attack, as well as the surrounding soldiers, were in bad luck.

The magic cannon is a serious product of magic power. The destructive power of the explosion is self-evident. In addition, it incorporates the high-explosive characteristics of gunpowder, which makes the explosion even higher.

And this time the attack is a standard fire coverage strike, as long as it is in the area, no matter what it is, it will be hit.

When the first wave of artillery shells arrived, the trebuchet was directly destroyed, and then the continuous falling shells wiped out all the orcs within a thousand square meters, and a terrifying vacuum area appeared.

Tens of thousands of orcs wanted to attack a fortress with an area of ​​less than [-] square meters, and the space they could spread out was very small.

This caused a lot of people to crowd together, causing this round of attacks and the team attacking in this direction to directly reimburse half of the people, and the number reached more than 500.

And this round of coverage, the gunners did not expect to be able to reap such a rich record.

But the orcs never knew if they didn't tell.

Looking at the attack scene where the liver and gallbladder exploded, Govez's tooth sockets were about to collapse, and he gritted his teeth to give the order for the general attack.

"All attack!"

No matter what kind of weapon humans take out, they have to go up to pull out this nail.

After receiving the news of the general attack, in the dark of the forest, hundreds of crossbowmen were ready to shoot towards the war fortress with their longbows drawn.

They knew that this method was useless, but this operation was to cover their own people. There were dozens of senior longbowmen hidden among the crossbowmen. Their goal was to destroy the magic lamp, so as to ensure their safety at night. hidden.

At the same time, the flares floating in the sky were also disposed of and destroyed at the same time.

Under the simultaneous attack, in just five seconds, the originally bright war fortress was instantly plunged into darkness.

At the same time, the orc attacking army was dispatched at the same time, scattered in all directions to avoid the one-pot fire brought by the artillery, and at the same time, the scattered formation made it difficult for the opponent's shooting to be suppressed.

Faced with the suppression of firearms and weapons, the orcs spent thousands of lives to accumulate coping experience, which was fully reflected at this moment.
