Chapter two hundred and fifty nine, furnace tactics
With Bai Ze's order, the major legions led by the Condor Heroes quickly began to act, and several legions that received the order to siege the city directly pressed towards Liumang City.
Looking at the enemy slowly pressing towards the city, Jun Moye stood on the city tower, stroked his beard on his chin, and said enviously:
"It's no loss that he is the fifth evil man who can defeat the God King Palace. There are indeed many elite troops under his command. What a pity that he is not my subordinate, he is destined to fall in this Liuming City."
Soon, the siege army approached the city wall and entered the range of the enemy's long-range troops.
However, the expected rain of arrows did not appear, so Chen Wanli directly ordered the Condor Heroes to start attacking the two small army forts located in front of the city wall.
As the siege tower continued to approach the army fortress, the defenders on the city wall finally took action. Rockets shot out from the city wall, and the target pointed directly at the siege tower.
Although many rockets hit the siege tower accurately, the Condor Heroes had already been prepared for this move by the enemy, and all the siege towers had been fire-proofed, so this wave of fire attack returned in vain.
Just as the archers on the top of the city showed their heads, the elf rangers hiding behind the shield immediately launched a counterattack.
Although their archery skills are much better than the human archers on the city wall, they also failed to achieve any results, because the archers on the city wall are all heavily armored and are naturally not afraid of long-range attacks.
"Come on, let General Aurelia take her army down."
After seeing the enemy archers in heavy armor from the monocular, Bai Ze decisively asked the Wind Walker Legion to retreat.
At this time, he was full of admiration for the enemy lord in the city.
He was able to come up with a team of heavy archers. It seems that this lord whom he had never met was also a master.
As an army dominated by long-range attacks, archers need sensitive skills in addition to their arm strength requirements.
The heavy armor archers not only lose their agility, but also bring a considerable burden to the soldiers. After all, the weight of that heavy armor is not light.
After wearing heavy armor, the archers not only lose their flexibility, but the heavy armor will also affect the archers' physical strength, so this type of troops is not practical at all.
But in this kind of city defense battle, archers only need to stand and output, not how to move. The heavy armor just provides them with long-range protection, allowing them to ignore the enemy's long-range attacks and shoot unscrupulously.
In this case, the originally unpractical heavy armored archer suddenly became the most practical elite soldier to defend the city, so Bai Ze thought that the person who came up with this idea was a master.
Jun Moye's innovative move is indeed beyond the expectations of many people, but even if he is unlucky when he meets Ning Yuan, he has a large number of heavy armored legions under his command.
Although the heavy armor archers have excellent defense abilities, their offensive abilities have not been improved at all, so as long as Bai Ze retreats the Wind Walker Legion, it will be difficult for the enemy's heavy armor archers to have any use.
When the mobile siege tower transformed by the dwarf and halfling slowly approached the army fort outside the city, Jun Moye suddenly frowned because he had seen the power of these siege equipment.
"Come on, let the dwarfs prepare for the stone caster. When the enemy's siege tower approaches the city wall, use stones to attack those enemies who attack the city from the siege tower."
With a loud bang, the heavy iron-packed wooden board fell directly on the city wall. Then the Condor Guard, who was hiding on the ladder, immediately followed the wooden board and rushed towards the enemy on the city wall.
"Stone bomb, launch."
When the Condor Guard launched a charge, a rain of stone bullets fell directly from the city walls on both sides.
The fist-sized stone hit the Condor Guard on the ladder like raindrops.
Shi Touyu cooperated with the sweeping wood used by the defenders on the city wall, and directly smashed many of the Condor Heroes guards from the wooden bridge.
Falling from a height of thirty meters and wearing heavy armor, you can imagine the outcome.
Looking at the Condor Heroes who were falling from the wooden bridge, Bai Ze's face remained unchanged, and he was still sitting still as if an old monk was sitting, quietly observing the situation on the battlefield.
Because both the enemy and us are elite heavy armored legions, it is difficult for anyone to hurt the opponent except for close combat. Apart from the Condor Heroes who fell from the wooden bridge, there were no major casualties between the enemy and us.
The siege battle is about the quality of will and the ability to adapt to changes. However, neither Bai Ze nor Jun Moye were in a hurry to change their tactics. Therefore, although there were tens of thousands of soldiers on the entire battlefield, there were only two large army forts fighting the most fiercely.
The newly developed siege tower of the Condor Heroes has a wooden bridge of nearly four meters wide and can accommodate four soldiers to charge at the same time.
Although the Condor Guards, who were on the outermost periphery, kept falling from the wooden bridge, they were the most elite infantry legion in the human race, so someone soon rushed down the wooden bridge to the city wall.
Because the space on the small army fort was limited, it could accommodate up to hundreds of soldiers, so the Condor Guards quickly gained a foothold on it.
Jun Moye did not expect that the Divine Eagle Guard would be so brave. Seeing that the small army fort was about to fall, he had to take the lead in responding.
"Come, order the army on the fort outside the city to withdraw immediately to the city and implement the furnace plan."
With Jun Moye's order, the commander immediately turned around and left to convey the order.
After receiving the order, the defenders on the two large army forts began to retreat while fighting, and soon they retreated along the stairs to the basement.
When the Condor Guards chased to the basement and saw the dry firewood and tinder oil all over the ground, they immediately realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
As the enemy threw the torches on the dry firewood, a raging fire immediately ignited underground in the army fort.
The defenders in the army fort locked the secret door and then safely retreated into the city through the tunnel.
After the defenders fled, the condor guards who were chasing them were in trouble.
The height of more than 30 meters cannot be reached just by trying to get up. In addition, the fire is too large, thick smoke directly flows out from the top of the army fort along the passage. None of the Condor Guards who were chasing them successfully in the end. Many people were choked to death by the thick smoke.
After seeing that the situation was not good, the Condor Guards who were still at the top of the army fort immediately retreated through the wooden bridge and finally survived.
Seeing that the two large army forts turned into two huge chimneys in an instant, Bai Ze immediately ordered the Jin to withdraw his troops.
After hearing the sound of the gong, the siege troops led by the Condor Heroes retreated like a tide.
