252 Air-ground coordination

A small number of the human slaves who escaped before have swam across the moat and are running towards the city wall. Some of them are still in the river, and the other half happen to be on the other side of the moat at this time. After all, these people are under the control of the orcs.

In my hands, I have been abused for a long time and my physical fitness is poor. I am basically exhausted when I come here.

And those orcs were even more ruthless. They rushed to the river and drove these slaves to jump into the river. They actually wanted to use these slaves to fill holes and build a channel across the river.

Seeing such a situation, all the humans on the city wall were filled with jealousy. Although they were strangers to the slaves under the city wall, they were still the same kind. But seeing their own kind, they were treated like nothing by the orcs.

, it is inevitable that the feeling of sadness will arise. For a time, the human soldiers on the city wall became more energetic. The reason is very simple. No one wants to fall into the hands of these barbaric orcs, because the fate of falling into their hands is right in front of them.

Xiao Feng watched the tragic scenes happening under the city wall with cold eyes and his heart was as strong as iron. Although he would feel sorry for those slaves, now was not the time to be soft-hearted.

"Go and shout loudly, tell the slaves to run to the mountain on the right, get away from the battlefield as much as possible, and let the Erlangs fire their arrows. We can't let these orcs rush over easily."

There can be no hesitation for a moment on the battlefield. As the saying goes, kindness cannot control troops. If Xiao Feng softens his heart at this moment, then these orcs will be allowed to easily approach the city wall. Once they break through the city wall, his tribe will be unlucky.

Yes, this is his hard work!

Therefore, the city wall must not allow any damage. Kyle also understood this truth. He turned around and gave a loud order to the soldiers around him. The soldiers on the city wall shouted loudly, telling the slaves to run up the mountain and get away from the battlefield. In addition, they continued to

began to shoot arrows.

With the capture of the Black Wind Canyon last time, plus the fact that the dwarf Dean has recently found a lot of iron ore, plus the addition of the dwarf tribe led by Groin who is good at blacksmithing, the weapons of the camp soldiers can be considered

The shotgun was replaced by a cannon.

Especially bows and arrows. After Charles Mann studied the pulley bows brought by Xiao Feng from the modern world, the dwarves imitated many iron-tired bows and added pulleys to these bows, arrows and crossbows, which increased the range of the bows and arrows.

The use of pulleys also allows archers to save a lot of effort when shooting their bows, which greatly improves the shooting speed and efficiency of human archers.

On the battlefield with cold weapons, the damage caused by bows and arrows does not actually depend on how accurately the archers shoot. It mainly depends on the density of archers' firing within the effective area of ​​the battlefield. The principle is the same as the density of firepower delivered during hot weapons wars.

When covering the same battlefield area, the more bows and arrows you shoot, the greater the damage you cause.

The reason why Xiao Feng chose to build a castle at this mountain pass was because the pass was as narrow as a gourd mouth, and the closer it was to the city wall, the narrower it became. This way, when the enemy charged, a large group of troops could easily get there.

Crowded into this narrow area of ​​one hundred by one hundred.

Originally, the farthest distance an archer could throw was about a hundred meters, but the human soldiers stood on a ten-meter-high city wall, and they were holding modified pulley bows. The range was greatly increased, and the distance of the throw was greatly increased.

It can basically reach about 150 meters. In addition, the south wind happened to be blowing today, so the effective range of the bows and arrows on the city wall can actually reach about 200 meters.

And those orcs finally stepped on the corpses of slaves and crossed the last moat, but they just happened to catch up with the rain of arrows thrown from the city wall. The wolf cavalry rushing at the front only wore light leather armor.

Leather armor was unable to withstand those steel arrowheads at all. The few wolf cavalry who rushed at the front were directly nailed to the ground by the bows and arrows falling from above their heads.

A hail of arrows took away the lives of more than a dozen werewolves, but it did not scare these wolf cavalry. The wolf cavalry behind them continued to charge without fear of death, while bursts of wolf howls came from their mouths.

The centaurs following them came one after another with the tauren and pig-headed men. After crossing the moat, the heavy armored infantry of the tauren and pig-headed men quickly dismounted and formed a formation, raising the giant shields in their hands to protect their backs.

Centaurs, and those centaurs are natural archers in this world who can compete with elves. They hid behind the orcs' giant shields and began to shoot at the human soldiers on the city wall with their bows.

In just one round, the physical advantages of these orcs were reflected. Human soldiers relied on the height of the city wall, improved pulley bows, and even the advantage of wind power to shoot bows and arrows 200 meters away. And these centaurs, on the city wall,

Down and against the wind, he could actually shoot the bow and arrow 200 meters away, and still maintain accuracy. In one round, he shot down a dozen careless human archers to the ground, stopping the fierce firepower on the city wall.

.

Xiao Feng was stunned when he saw this situation. He was indeed a guy with beast blood. These centaur archers even reminded Xiao Feng of the so-called invincible British longbowmen in the Middle Ages on Earth...

It was the emergence of the British longbowmen that directly led to the withdrawal of crossbows from the stage of war, because in terms of range and accuracy, longbows had a comprehensive advantage over crossbows. In 1415, King Henry V of England brought five thousand

The longbowmen, at the cost of only 50 men, overturned 18,000 soldiers led by King Philip of France, 15,000 of whom were iron canned heavy armored cavalry...

Xiao Feng has fought with orcs several times before, but compared with today's scene, those previous times can only be called conflicts, but today this time can be called a war, a total war!

The orcs should have used all their methods, and the reason why Xiao Feng didn't take action before was because he wanted to see what other methods these orcs had.

It's time to start my performance. Xiao Feng looked at the heavy armored infantry and centaur shooters slowly approaching the city wall under the city wall. He sneered and pulled Maxim out of the space. The distance of three hundred meters was enough for these half-man soldiers.

The orc had a drink.

But just at the stall where Xiao Feng had just set up the machine gun, he suddenly heard a burst of screams from the human archers on the city wall. He turned around and suddenly saw a black shadow passing above his head, and then a roaring sound.

With the sound of wind, a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. Xiao Feng didn't even have time to think about it. He just rolled over. As soon as he left the place, he heard a roar from the place where he was standing, and a bullet was fired from the city wall.

The stone bullet hit exactly where he was standing.

He directly smashed a round hole where he was just now. When he looked up, he saw a black golden eagle flying across the sky just above his head. When these golden eagles flew over the city wall, they would throw it at the city wall.

Huge stones, many human archers who were focused on shooting at the centaurs under the city wall, were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, and their morale dropped sharply.

Damn it, these damn orcs can actually play open-land synergy!!!

The emergence of such tactics in this barbaric era really surprised Xiao Feng, and these golden eagles are really cunning. Last time they faced Xiao Feng head-on and suffered a big loss. They also knew how powerful Xiao Feng was, so this time they set out

At that time, he did not start from the front battlefield, but went around the circle and started from the side, so he was not discovered by humans at the first time.

They flew at high altitude from the river on the left side of the city wall, while human beings' attention was mainly focused on the frontal battlefield. It was this negligence that gave them the opportunity to attack from the side. A series of boulders were thrown down, hitting the people on the city wall on the spot.

Humans brought hundreds of casualties.

You must know that there are only about 2,000 regular soldiers in the entire tribe. About a hundred of them were killed by these golden eagles at once, but Xiao Feng's heart was bleeding with distress.

After the successful sneak attack, these golden eagles had no intention of stopping. After sweeping across the entire city wall, they readjusted their direction on the ridgeline on the right, lined up and dived towards the city wall again, although they were far away.

It was far away, but Xiao Feng could still see the big rocks grasped in the giant claws of these golden eagles.

If they were allowed to 'bomb' successfully again this time, the morale of the human defense line would inevitably collapse. Xiao Feng took out the Deshi card from the space without saying a word. Now was not the time to preserve his strength.

This time, the orcs should have used all their special skills. The purpose is very clear to break through the city wall in one go. Now is the time to fight hard.

"Kyle, bring archers to guard the city wall and don't let the orcs get close. Leave these golden eagles to me to deal with!"

Xiao Feng shouted to Kyle in the distance. The humans on the city wall had begun to panic, which made the orcs under the city wall accelerate closer to the city wall. Xiao Feng had to stand up and stabilize the morale of the army. With him as the backbone of the city wall, he gave orders.

, and soon others knew what to do.

After Xiao Feng shouted those words, he also set up the Deshi card, and even installed the sight this time. Although this big guy is outdated in the modern world, in this world, this powerful firepower is still there.

It is an invincible existence.

The maximum range on flat ground is 8,000 meters, and the range in the air is 2,000 meters. A bullet with a caliber of 12.7

These golden eagles do not have the accuracy of dropping bombs at high altitudes like human bombers, so when they throw stones, they must dive and charge, lowering their height to about a hundred meters above the human head, in order to accurately throw the stones.

On top of the human front, causing the greatest damage.
