My name is Ren

Chapter 574 Before doing a thing, most people will plan every step, but it's all over!
There are three elite legions in the Byron Empire, among which the Giant Legion is particularly eye-catching in mountain warfare and foot combat.

There are only 5000 people in this legion, and they can't even form a phalanx of 1 people, but it's just such a marine corps with less than 950 people, which makes people especially afraid.The Legion of Giants, as the name suggests, is all composed of "giants".Among them were [-] tauren warriors, and fifty true giants.

The height of the tauren is much higher than that of humans. The shortest tauren is over two meters tall. After careful selection, the average height of the tauren in the giant army is between [-] and [-] meters.These tauren can easily lift things of one or two hundred kilograms, and their weapon is an ax gun weighing [-] kilograms. Once they enter the fighting state, the tauren phalanx with a size of a thousand people is simply the most powerful force on the battlefield. meat grinder.

Any elite legion is not an opponent of the Tauren at all without pre-preparation.They just need to stand together, keep raising the axes and spears and chop them down fiercely, even the siege equipment will be turned into a pile of parts in a very short time.

Of course, the tauren phalanx is not invincible. Its own weight, heavy equipment and heavy weapons make the tauren phalanx advance slowly. Places with relatively soft terrain, such as deserts or wetlands, completely declined the tauren's attack. Entering, only in the mountains, dry plains and Gobi, the tauren phalanx can exert sufficient power.

In addition, each phalanx of thousands of people will also be equipped with ten real giants. These giants claim to be descendants of the Titans and are the beloved survivors of the goddess of the earth.These giants are about eight to nine meters tall when they stand up, and weigh more than 3000 kilograms. Some strong giants even weigh as much as two tons.Their huge bodies also brought them even greater strength. They could throw [-] kilograms of stones at will, and the power generated by a hard punch was the same as the attack power of some small siege vehicles.

They never carry any weapons, because as long as there are woods, there is something they need.

There is a very special tactic in the giant army. The descendants of these titans will throw the tauren on the enemy's wall like cannonballs. , When they wake up, it will definitely be a disaster!
So when the news of the Giant Legion knocking on the gate was sent back to the imperial capital, Queen Pars's unattractive expression became even uglier.

The huge pressure of the Weimar Corridor had to raise a large number of sergeants and supplies to be sent to Bell Province. At the same time, some heavy defensive magic equipment needed to be mobilized, otherwise it would be difficult to resist the attack of the giant army.

The reason why Byron chose to launch the attack at this time was because they, including the great chief of the full moon, all discovered a problem at the same time, that is, it would be too late if they did not launch.They originally planned to launch an aggression against the Orlando Empire when the Orlando Empire fell into a civil war, but the changing situation in Orlando every day made them a little confused, so they delayed the time.

Immediately afterwards, Grand Duke Joan of Arc massacred the city, and the situation became tense again. Both Byron and Full Moon felt that this was a good opportunity. There will be a battle, and it will be a fierce one.The reputation of the Valkyrie cannot be blown out by just a few people. Once the two sides start a war, in order to solve a series of problems brought about by Grand Duke Joan of Arc as soon as possible, it is very likely that the young female emperor of the Orlando Empire will conscript Grace. In the past, it was used to suppress Grand Duke Joan of Arc.

At that time, the Western Front, which had just undergone a round of purges, would not be able to defend against the full moon's attack. As long as the full moon broke through the defensive circle on the western front, the Byron Empire would conduct landing operations by sea, and at the same time break through the Weimar Corridor, three invasion routes Attacking at the same time, coupled with the chaos within the Orlando Empire, Grace was split into two, and it was too late to fight the fire.

But what they didn't expect was that Grand Duke Joan of Arc could not afford to fall ill, which immediately eased the situation within the Orlando Empire. If they didn't act again, they would lose this opportunity after the Northern Expedition ended.

The Byron Empire has lost more than one chance, so the Emperor Byron Empire decisively ordered and notified the Great Chief of the Full Moon, thus launching a war.

After Queen Pars heard the news, her first reaction was to let Rennes go to the province of Bell. Under the current situation, only Rennes has the prestige to take over the important military and political affairs of the entire province of Bell, and has the ability to take over the province of Bell. Provinces are united.

It doesn't take long, as long as Nongalare cooperates with Grian to drive the landed Byrons back into the sea, he can draw his hand and lead the elite army to Ortrenburg, help Rennes hold the pass and beat the opponent back.

The key reason why the Byrons have been unable to fight from the Weimar corridor for so many years is that the topography of the Weimar corridor is not suitable for large-scale marches. Not to mention the undulating terrain, the narrowness of the Weimar corridor alone, It is enough to prevent the opponent from having large-scale sergeant operations.

It seems that the situation in the Weimar Corridor may be a little more dangerous, but in fact the real threat level is the lowest - no matter what formation the opponent puts up, there will always be only five or sixty people going forward at the same time, plus the tauren and giants. In terms of body size, this number should be lowered.What they need to face is only a short attack surface of these four or fifty people.

For this reason, before Rennes's departure, Queen Pars specially conferred the title of Marquis of his third-class supreme knight. In this way, she was expressing her attitude.

At this time, the atmosphere in Ortrenburg was particularly solemn. After 70 years, the Byron Empire once again knocked on the door, which reminded many old Ortrenburgers of that time.Under the leadership of Orlando V, they established the city in this wilderness, and braved the enemy's arrow rain and attacks to repair a magnificent pass. Seventy years later, Ortrenburg and the passes of the Weimar Corridor are still carrying out their original missions.

This point has never wavered.

The bells of the enemy's attack continued to echo over Ortrenburg. Alma had sent a batch of supplies to the pass, and also sent a thousand city defense troops there.But everyone had no idea. With the appearance of the giant army, many people's calves were trembling when they saw the tall and oppressive tauren and giants.

The height of the pass in the Weimar Corridor is 15 meters, and the highest point is 20 meters. But looking at those giants who are [-] or [-] meters high, it seems that they can touch the wall as soon as they stretch out their hands, and they can climb up directly with a little effort.In fact, these people have made a mistake. The giants who are too tall in size and weight actually have no jumping ability at all.With a weight of one and a half tons, when they jump to the apex and fall, they can generate far more force than their leg bones can withstand. It doesn't take much to jump, just jumping two or three meters is very likely to break their bones.

As for climbing up, it is nonsense. Although their arms are indeed thick, it is difficult for their arms to bear their weight, not to mention that there are people harassing on the wall.Once the wall climbing fails, it is likely to be the end of a large area of ​​fracture in the whole body.Even if the people on the pass asked the giants to climb the wall, they would not do it.

After a short rest, the giant army in the Weimar corridor began the first round of siege.

The siege warfare of this legion is different from the normal siege warfare. They tend to violently destroy the city wall and then rush through the city wall.Of course, this also has something to do with their weight.Heavy tauren and giants can't ride any mounts at all. Their weight is enough to transport wildebeests, which are specially used for transportation. Mounts with extremely strong load capacity can't move directly. How can they rush up the city wall from the ramp?
The first hundred-man phalanx approached the pass, and the archers and ballistas on the pass began to check their range. When the tauren approached the pass for about sixty steps, that is, a distance of about 100 meters, they stopped.They took a stubby javelin from the javelin basket they carried behind their backs.

The javelin is about 1.5 meters long and has the thick arms of a child. These tauren are in the throwing posture under the order of the officer.When the officer roared fiercely, the hundred tauren roared and tensed their muscles, and groups of rock-like muscles slid back and forth.Roaring, they turned sideways and took a step forward, and then threw the javelin in their hands with all their strength.

The javelins made of iron and steel buzzed in their pockets and shot towards the city wall at a speed not weaker than that of a crossbow under the action of huge force.

The soldiers on the city wall immediately raised their tower shields, and for a while, dust and mist rose from the entire city wall, and at the same time, there was a loud noise and the sound of people screaming.

Some javelins were stuck on the city wall, some pierced through the tower shield one centimeter behind and nailed the shield bearer to the ground, and some fell through the air, obliquely inserted into the stone floor of the city wall.

In just a simple confrontation, two ballistas were destroyed, more than 20 people were injured, and several people died.

These city defense troops who had never experienced war felt the horror of the national war for the first time!
The monsters on the opposite side don't know what kindness is. The purpose of their coming here is to destroy the Orlando Empire and compete for the population of the Desi people.

The little officer of the garrison army stood up from behind the battlements, his hat fell to the ground in a panic, he didn't even look at it, his bloodshot eyes widened, he looked at the soldiers who specialized in manipulating ballistas and roared Get up, "Counterattack, counterattack quickly! You don't need to aim, it's almost done!" He waved his hand vigorously and shouted "let go".

Eighteen soldiers on the city wall tightly wrapped the rope attached to the ballista machine around their arms, and after almost aiming at the tauren on the opposite side, they pulled hard.With a bang, the tight steel cable ejected the two-meter-long crossbow arrow, and the huge reaction force caused the ballista to slam backward. The little officer was hit by a somersault without checking for a while.

He stood up scrambling, rushed to the edge of the city wall and looked at the phalanx of a hundred tauren outside the city, wanting to see if this round of volley was successful!
