Chapter 1404, Passing the Five Passes (3)(1/2)
As the dull bell echoed throughout the Koksu Fortress, the defenders who were resting in the city immediately picked up their weapons around them and ran towards the city wall.
"Enemy attacks, wake up quickly, the enemy attacks..."
Knowing that the situation was urgent, in order to ensure that the fortress was safe, many soldiers knocked on the closed doors directly, preparing to wake up the companions who were on the night night last night to go to the city wall to fight against the enemy.
As the west city gate was opened, a team of more than 20 cavalrymen quickly passed through the city gate and ran straight towards the fortress behind.
In about ten minutes, the east wall of the Koksu Fortress was filled with dense soldiers, all holding the weapons in their hands, staring at the enemy barracks that were beginning to restless in the distance.
......
The Forbidden Air Field is a double-edged sword. Although it can prevent the enemy's flying corps from approaching to the greatest limit, it also eliminates the development of its own flying corps.
Because the prohibited airfield is an indiscriminate prohibited field, it does not distinguish between enemies and me.
Since turning the entire Tajikistan into a forbidden country, Tajikistan players have lost the qualification to own a flying legion, and there are only army within the entire country.
Due to the relationship between the prohibited airfield, all creatures with the attribute of low-altitude flight cannot be launched normally in Tajikistan, so Tajikistan players can only rely on carrier pigeons and cavalry to deliver messages from a long distance.
Although the carrier pigeon has a strong ability to recognize the road, it is a bird with a low IQ after all. It only knows to choose the nearest route to fly, and will not take the initiative to take the detour to avoid the dangers that may occur on the road.
The cavalry's goal became even bigger and condescending. As long as they were not blind, they could find their whereabouts at a glance.
Arman thought that he could safely cover the pigeons that had been quietly released by sending a team of cavalry to act as bait, but he did not know that the entire Koksu Fortress had long been stared at by Seraph scouts.
Neither the cavalry messenger who was explicitly leaving the West Gate or the carrier pigeon that Arman quietly let the flying people fly could escape the Seraph.
When he found that all five carrier pigeons were flying towards the Saretash Fortress to the west, fifty seraphic scouts immediately chased after him.
Five kilometers away from the Fortress of Koksu, Seraph scouts successfully shot and killed all five carrier pigeons, and then successfully dealt with the cavalry messenger of more than 20 people.
At this point, all the messengers sent by Alman to inform the news were killed. If there was no special situation, the Saretash Fortress, which was sixty kilometers away, would not have known that they were attacked here.
......
"Arrow ready!"
Seeing the orc warriors wearing cassocks and Taoist robes slowly heading towards the fortress, Alman immediately ordered the archers to prepare for a ranged attack.
He wanted to see if the bears in the cassocks and tigers in the Taoist robes were really not afraid of death.
However, the bear walkers and tiger men who were heading towards the fort seemed to have had an insight into Arman's intentions in advance. When they were four hundred meters away from the fortress, they stopped moving forward.
Seeing the orc warriors wearing Taoist robes and cassocks in the distance suddenly stopped, Alman couldn't help frowning. After a moment, he immediately looked up and looked into the sky in the distance.
At this time, the large white clouds in the distance were still floating slowly towards the fortress. It seemed that they had to float for at least five or six minutes before they could reach the vicinity of the fortress.
As the distance gets closer, you can see clearly the figure standing on the clouds through the telescope.
Staring at the figures wrapped in silver armor standing on the white clouds, Alman felt a hint of palpitations inexplicably.
If his memory is not wrong, the white clouds in the distant sky should be the specialty of Huaxia District - Somersault Cloud.
But as far as he knows, there is no way to stand on somersault clouds, as if each somersault cloud can only hold up their owners.
Moreover, somersault clouds have extremely strict requirements on the environment. When riding somersault clouds, there should not be too much wind in the sky, otherwise somersault clouds will be blown away by the wind.
Moreover, somersault clouds do not have any independent movement ability, they can only rely on human power to drive or drift down the wind.
Today is the southeast wind. Although the wind on the ground is not very strong and it cannot even allow the leaves to swing greatly, the wind can reach level three or four at an altitude of 700 meters.
According to the self-destruction of Chinese players on the forum, the wind at level 3 and 4 is enough to blow away somersault clouds, otherwise the players in Huaguoshan would not have been able to specifically target the windless weather to launch an attack on the hostile forces.
But now the somersault clouds in the distance not only carry more soldiers, but also seem to float straight to the west and do not float southeast, which is a little beyond Alman's perception.
Could it be that the Chinese players who broke the news on the forum all tell lies, and he deliberately used lies to deceive others?
During a while of random thoughts, Alman's face kept changing, sometimes he was confused, sometimes he was angry, and sometimes he was deeply helpless.
"Sir, those clouds have already floated over."
Just when Arman was seriously distracted by thinking about a solution, Abram, whose eyes were red, appeared beside him at some point.
After looking at Abram's eyes that were red due to lack of sleep, Alman sighed: "Abram, all the somersault clouds in front of him seem to be very abnormal. Have you thought of any good way to deal with the enemies standing on the somersault cloud?"
Shaking his head gently, Abram whispered: "Sir, look at the posture, the enemy must be prepared.
They were sure to win so many aces at once to attack one of our small fortresses.
It’s not that I have the ambition of others, but that the strength gap between the enemy and us is indeed a bit big.
I guess today we are probably in danger.
So please prepare for survival and death with the fortress in advance!”
In order not to be heard by others, Abram tried to lower his voice.
After hearing what Abram said, Alman immediately looked solemn.
He glanced at Abram who was staring at the sky, and loudly ordered the defenders on the city wall: "After the clouds float near, shoot me immediately.
The law enforcement team obeys the orders and any timid retreats after the war begins in a while, all those who are timid and retreat will be rectified on the spot."
ah...
As soon as Arman finished speaking, a scream immediately came from the city wall.
In Alman's terrified eyes, a dark rain of arrows suddenly broke out in the sky.
"Hurry up, raise your shield to defend!"
After seeing that the rain of arrows was shooting from the direction of somersault clouds, Alman immediately loudly reminded the soldiers on the city wall.
The defenders in Koksu Fortress were all elite Tajikistan. Before Alman could make a sound reminder, they had already squatted on the ground and tried their best to protect their whole body with their shields.
However, even though they had done well enough, people were still constantly hit by arrows and the shield they held that held all their hopes could not protect them at all.
As the dark rain of arrows continued to fall on the city wall, the scene of the shield being broken and the people being killed was constantly being staged.
"Why, why?"
Looking at the corpses and broken shields on the wall, Alman's eyes were immediately congested.
"Sir, the city wall can't be defended anymore. Let's retreat to the city and defend it!"
Seeing that Arman was about to go wild, a group of Abram grabbed his arm and pulled him down the city while persuading him.
Unfortunately, before the two of them could walk a few meters away, a black arrow shot towards them.
After the rain of arrows, dozens of corpses and a pile of broken shields were added to thousands again, including Arman and Abram.
Abram guessed that the Condor Empire was prepared this time, and also guessed that the Koksu Fortress was likely to be lost today, but he still did not guess that the long-range firepower of the Condor Empire army would be so strong.
The fundamental reason is that they have never really seen the fighting style of the Somerdog Cloud Legion, and they don’t know that Somerdog Cloud also has two life forms.
In their eyes, the biggest feature of somersault cloud is that it can ignore the forbidden airfield and then launch free-for-nothing shooting at the enemy from a high point.
Little do they know that somersault cloud has a hidden passive ability, which is that it can greatly improve the penetration of long-range shooting.
Arrows shot from a condescendingly have stronger gravitational potential energy and dynamic acceleration.
Because the flight trajectory of the arrow is from top to bottom, the kinetic energy loss caused by air resistance can be greatly reduced.
In this way, under the same flight distance, arrows shot from high altitude are more penetrating than arrows thrown out on the flat ground.
However, ordinary arrows cannot perfectly exert this advantage. Due to quality issues, ordinary arrows can easily deform or even break directly when hit violently.
In order to perfectly exert the powerful destructive power of somersault clouds, Ning Yuan asked the dwarf craftsmen to use the refining iron to create a special arrow for somersault clouds.
Compared with ordinary arrows, the arrows of this kind of arrows are not that sharp, but their strength is several times that of ordinary arrows.
After repeated experiments, Ning Yuan found that this kind of arrow has extremely powerful destructive power, and some ordinary iron-packed shields could not withstand the huge impact of this arrow.
As long as the height is sufficient, the arrow shot with a strong bow can be easily shot through and smashed an ordinary iron-packed shield.
Because he had extremely strong shield-breaking ability, Ning Yuan gave him a domineering name - Shield Breaking Arrow.
Under the powerful force of the broken shield arrow, the light armor on the defenders of the Koksu Fortress was like paper, and they could not protect their lives at all.
As long as the arrow rain goes, soldiers who don’t have time to hide will fall down one by one like being cut from leeks.
As the Somersault Cloud Legion continued to move forward, soon there was no longer any standing defenders standing on the entire East City Wall.
"The Ladder Legion, build the Ladder, and start siege."
Seeing that there was no longer any living defenders on the city wall, James, who was in charge of commanding the battle, immediately ordered the army to start siege.
As James' order was transmitted to the ground, the angel warriors who stayed five hundred meters away from the fortress opened their backpacks and took out their own somersault clouds from it.
After thousands of angel warriors hovered at a fixed height while driving their somersault clouds, a white ladder that reached the top of the city soon appeared outside the east city wall.
"Siege."
After seeing that the ladder leading to the city was built, the bear man walking in his hand holding a crescent shovel and the tiger mankind holding a magic mace immediately rushed to the city on the ladder built by somersault clouds.
When the entire East City Wall was full of Bear Walkers and Tiger Mankind, the Somersault Cloud Legion in the sky immediately stopped the ranged attack.
Under James' order, they floated directly above the Corsue Fortress and then drifted straight towards the Alay Valley.
Seeing that the somersault clouds that could fire the terrifying rain of arrows had floated over their heads, some defenders who were hiding in the house immediately rushed out of the room. After a brief formation, they immediately rushed towards the orc warriors on the East City Wall.
Before the people arrived, a rain of arrows had already arrived later.
Facing the rain of arrows shooting from under the city wall, the bear walkers and tiger human soldiers on the city wall were not panicked at all. While protecting their heads with their left hands, they killed them along the horse path.
To be continued...
