Chapter 1414, the art of defense(1/2)
"Transfer our military orders and call the gold to withdraw the troops!"
After gritting his teeth and giving the order to withdraw the troops, Ibn Haidal walked off the podium with a blue face.
This was the third time he issued the order to withdraw troops by the gold medal.
After the army settling down the camp, Ibn Haidal organized three tough battles in a week.
Including this time today, all three tough battles were extremely failed, and they were quite furious.
Because while paying a huge price, they simply failed to shake the defense line of the Condor Empire.
In the first battle, Ibn Haidal mainly used temptation. He sent the Persian immortal army to attack the defense line of the Condor Empire with a shield that was enough to resist the Divine Arm Bow.
Facing the heavy armored legion of the Persian Eternal Life Army, Ning Yuan did not choose to launch a long-range attack on it, but instead sent it directly over.
When the Persian Immortal Army soldiers in the first row came to the edge of the trench, everyone was stunned when they looked at the trench that was five meters wide and ten meters deep in front of them.
Because Ibn Haidal sent them to test the long-range attack methods and attack firepower of the Condor Empire's army, they did not carry any wooden bridges or sandbags used to fill the trenches.
Ibn Haidal was also very surprised that the Condor Army directly released the Persian immortal army.
He originally wanted to use all the long-range attack methods of the Persian Immortal Army to lead out the Condor Imperial Army and then make targeted responses in a timely manner. Unexpectedly, the Condortal Immortal Army on the opposite side did not play according to common sense, and even a symbolic rain of arrows was released, he directly sent the Persian Immortal Army over without even releasing a symbolic rain of arrows.
Seeing the Persian Immortal Army soldiers standing on the edge of the trench, Ibn Haidal had to bite the bullet and send an army carrying a large number of wooden bridges to support it.
After seeing the enemy taking out the prepared wooden pontoon bridge, Ning Yuan immediately asked the messenger to wave a flag painted with flames.
Immediately afterwards, countless ceramic jars suddenly fell from the sky and hit the long wooden pontoon bridges with great accuracy.
As the ceramic jar broke, the tincture oil inside immediately splashed everywhere.
After the outflow of tincture oil splashed the wooden board, the elf archers behind the earth embankment immediately shot out the prepared rocket.
Under the large-scale attack of fire rain, the Central Asian Middle East Alliance soldiers carrying wooden pontoon bridges had not had time to react, and the rockets landed on the wooden pontoon bridge had already successfully ignited the wooden pontoon bridge.
As the oil tanks that fell from the sky just now were not only splashed with tincture oil from wooden boards when they were broken, but even some soldiers located nearby were stained with a lot of tincture oil.
So when countless rockets suddenly fell from the sky, not only the wooden pontoon bridge was ignited, but many soldiers stained with tinder oil were also affected by the pond fish.
While they let out painful wails, they kept slapping the fire on their bodies, trying to extinguish the flames.
Some soldiers who were stained with a lot of tincture oil on their bodies became a fireman in an instant.
They kept running and rolling, making tragic screams.
This sudden huge change shocked all the soldiers, and many of them looked at their companions covered in fire with horror.
While they were dodging involuntarily, they looked around in horror, and had long forgotten that this was on the battlefield.
After seeing the enemy's formation becoming chaotic due to the internal fire, Ning Yuan immediately ordered the Divine Arm Army and the Sharpshooters to open fire together and shoot at the enemy in a burst of random shots.
The fire that had already been ignited inside the military formation had not yet been extinguished, and the long-range army of the Condor Empire on the opposite side of the trench suddenly took the blame. This continuous attack directly made the already chaotic formation of the Central Asian Middle East coalition even more messy.
The arrows fell from parabola, and the crossbow arrows shot straight from the sky.
When the Persian Immortal Army had no time to re-arrange the formation, the shields in their hands could not be able to defend against the flat-fired crossbow arrows, and the arrows could not be able to defend against the flat-fired crossbow arrows.
So in a hurry, many soldiers were shot down by cold arrows from somewhere in a ignorant way.
Seeing the sudden chaos in the formation of the army in front, it was already difficult to recover.
If you hold on like this, you will only suffer greater casualties.
Ibn Haidal, who witnessed all this in his own eyes, had no choice but to order the Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
In the end, the battle ended with nearly 5,000 soldiers killed and killed by the Central Asian Middle East coalition. The Condor Empire not only lost some arrows and tinder oil, but also had no one injured.
......
After learning and summarizing the lessons of the first failure, Ibn Haidal soon launched a second attack.
This time, Ibn Haidal did not test any more. He directly sent the Persian immortal army to cover the pontoon bridge army and headed towards the trench.
In order to prevent Ning Yuan from disrupting the formation by using seraphic airdrop tinder oil again, Ibn Haidal not only made people wet the wooden pontoon bridge as a whole, but also sprinkled a layer of moist mud and sand on it.
Sure enough, when Ning Yuan used his old trick again, the ideal oil and fire did not appear again. In just a moment, the soldiers carrying the floating bridge successfully extinguished the already small flames by flipping the floating bridge.
In this way, before the Seraphic army on the Condor Empire threw tincture oil again, soldiers from the Central Asian Middle East Alliance successfully carried the pontoon bridge to the edge of the trench.
After reaching the edge of the trench, some strong orcs directly raised the wooden pontoon bridge and pushed hard towards the other side of the trench.
As the huge wooden pontoon bridge landed heavily on the slope north of the earth embankment, the Central Asian Middle East Alliance finally launched an attack on the earth embankment guarded by the Condor Empire's army through the pontoon bridge. Even if the slope was filled with sharp wooden thorns at this time, it could not stop them from moving forward.
However, before the soldiers of the Central Asian and Middle Eastern Alliance forces could solve the wooden thorns that were full of the slopes, a group of huge figures appeared on the earthen embankment.
As the bear man heavy infantry of the Condor Empire appeared with a huge iron spear about five meters long, the soldiers who had already rushed up the slope were immediately hit by a head-on attack.
Facing the huge iron spear that only two bears heavy infantry soldiers could use, the armor and shields became fragile immediately.
Because even if the armor and shields on their bodies are strong enough, they themselves cannot withstand the huge impact force.
So in just a moment, thousands of soldiers who climbed the slope were stabbed by iron spears.
Looking at the level of pain they suffered after they fell to the ground, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to participate in the battle in a short period of time.
As the saying goes, take his life while he is sick.
At such a close distance and being condescending, this is definitely the best time to use crossbow arrows to attack the enemy.
The Eagle Empire has a divine arm bow that is far more powerful than other crossbow arrows. The elves who hold the divine arm bow will naturally not miss this great opportunity to kill the enemy.
They occasionally poked out their bodies between the two bear warriors, and then shot the enemies with a flash of flaws.
At such a close distance, except for the thick iron can that could withstand the powerful blow of the Divine Arm Bow, other ordinary armors were basically given for nothing.
So as the elves holding divine arm bows kept shooting cold arrows, the death rate of the Central Asian Middle East coalition suddenly increased.
After more than ten minutes of strong attack without any effect, Ibn Haidal once again issued an order to withdraw his troops.
This time he was completely scared by the lethality of the Divine Arm Bow.
In just over a dozen minutes, there were more than 10,000 Persian immortal army soldiers who died under the sneak attack of the Divine Arm Bow.
Although he also sent out the archer troops from the coalition forces in time, facing the more well-equipped Condor Empire army, their long-range firepower not only failed to pose any threat to the other side, but was also seized by the remote troops on the opposite side and shot and killed thousands of archers.
Seeing that the fight continues like this, it is very likely that more than 100,000 people will not be enough to fill it in, Ibn Haidal had to give up temporarily.
......
After a day of refining, Ibn Haidal launched a third attack on the Condor Empire position.
This time Ibn Haidal sent the strongest main force - the coalition's heavy armored orc army.
The armor on the heavy armored orc warriors was much heavier than the ones on the Persian Immortal Army. In order to prevent being shot through by the divine arm bow at close range, Ibn Haidal specially asked each orc warrior to wear two sets of armor.
In this way, even if they are shot directly by the Divine Arm Bow at close range, the orc warriors protected by two layers of armor will not suffer much damage.
Sure enough, with the wooden pontoon bridge being built again, the orc warriors wearing two layers of armor were not afraid of the close-range shot of the divine arm bow.
As long as it is not shot into the face, even if the crossbow arrows fired from the divine arm bow can penetrate the double armor, the remaining strength is not enough to cause severe damage to the orc warriors.
As we all know, the biggest feature of powerful orc warriors is that they have thick skin and flesh. Some minor injuries are not only not any problem for them, but they are also a pair of stimulants.
After seeing blood, their anger will soar, and they will definitely have full firepower when fighting.
Faced with the huge iron spear stabbed from the earthen embankment, the orc warriors were not afraid at all. Many people even wanted to grab the spear that stabbed them with their hands, and wanted to use the spear to climb to the top of the earthen embankment in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, the bear warriors on the earthen embankment were not vegetarians. Faced with the arrogant actions of those people of the same clan on the slope, they shook their spears left and right, and directly got rid of the other party's grasp.
Although the enemy's intentions were not successful, facing the enemy's desperate attack, the bear warriors of the Condor Empire at the top of the earthen embankment were extremely difficult to fight.
Because the power of the Divine Arm Bow was reduced to a minimum, and the spear in their hands could not cause too much damage to the rough and thick-skinned guys below.
The huge spear made by Jing Iron is very heavy. Even the bear warrior who is good at wielding it for a long time cannot withstand it, so this combat mode must not last too long.
After seeing that the fine iron spear formation could not effectively kill the enemy heavily armored orc troops that were constantly striking the earth dike, Ning Yuan immediately asked the messenger to wave a flag painted with the sea of fire.
As the flag was constantly waving, an elf army on standby behind the earth dike immediately lifted the wooden barrel beside him and rushed to the earth dike.
When the elf warriors threw the wooden barrels directly on the wooden pontoon bridge spreading on the trench, the enemy orc army, who had just become strong, was immediately frightened and turned around and fled.
It was not the orc warriors who were timid, but they recognized that the liquid splashed everywhere was exactly the tincture oil they feared the most.
Although the orc warriors were not afraid of death, none of them wanted to turn themselves into a fire man and end up burning to death.
So after discovering that the enemy had poured tinder oil out again, they instinctively retreated backwards.
However, the fire that the orc warriors of the Central Asian Middle East coalition did not appear, because Ning Yuan only let the elf warriors pour out tinder oil and did not order the fire.
So the orc troops from both sides confronted each other through wooden pontoon bridges filled with tinder oil.
The Condor Empire has never intended to ignite, and the Central Asian and Middle East coalition forces dare not continue to attack.
After learning about what happened on the front line, Ibn Haidal gave the order to withdraw the troops again after sighing to the sky.
Although the casualties of the Orc Heavy Armor Legion were not large this time, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops in the face of the turbulent deterrence tactics of the Condor Empire.
After Mingjin withdrew his troops, in order to facilitate the next day's attack, Ibn Haidal directly sent a team of archers to launch a round of rockets at places with tinder.
His original intention was to ignite those tinctures and clear the obstacles for tomorrow's attack.
However, the archers responsible for lighting the tinder oil fired more than a dozen rounds of rocket rains in a row, and there was no movement on the trench. Not to mention the big fire, even the small flame could not be seen at all.
After learning about this situation, Ibn Haidal was so angry that he scolded Ning Yuan for being shameless. At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he knew what was going on.
