After a night's rest and with the help of the quartermaster to replenish a batch of supplies, I urged the soldiers to prepare all the necessary equipment early in the morning, including some small toys that were urgently made yesterday afternoon and evening. The magicians might be interested in tasting them. Of course, we ourselves would never try this taste.
After letting the horses drag the catapults and crossbows to show off their power in front of the south gate which had become a ruin, I immediately led my three battalions of soldiers (one battalion was the original slave soldiers, and the other two were two battalions that Thack transferred from his own archer division to me yesterday when he saw that I did not have enough people) and headed for the north gate of Huangshi City under the escort of a group of Flame Legion light cavalry.
It took us half a day to finally start arranging our troops outside the north gate of Huangshi City. Through the telescope, we could see that the city defense troops on the city wall began to retreat, and those magicians who had restored their magic power had replaced them and became the main force of defense. It seems that my opponents today are directly the magicians. I heard that the magicians of the Senke Federation are trash, and the only ones stronger than the orcs in the East Continent, so I will use you as my test subjects!
"There's a wine jar in every five stones. Suck it hard!"
At the command, the rain of stones came to the Waste Stone City again, but because the enemy magician troops had already propped up the magic shield when we threw the first stone, the pieces of stones and a few wine jars directly hit the shield and fell to the ground.
Although under such a strong attack, the defense shield of the Senke Federation magicians has been in a state of fluctuation, and from their expressions, it can be seen that they are not feeling well. However, my attack is not as powerful as the Holy Light Spear Formation produced by Wink and his men. Can I only waste time with them? Until they finally run out of magic power? This is definitely not what I want to see. What I need is to directly defeat the magician army. Only in this way can I get enough attention from Sack and his men.
"Damn, how are the things I asked you to do last night going? How many have you done?" I made a gesture and asked a captain who had just joined my team yesterday to come over. He asked me about the things I asked him to collect and process into balls overnight.
"Sir, 1,000 of us made more than 5,000 of them overnight. Each one had a stone as big as the one you mentioned as the core, and then was wrapped with smelly oak leaves that were collected and dried. But this stuff smells so bad that in order to dry it, at least dozens of my soldiers were knocked out by the smoke..."
"Okay, tell the soldiers to throw at a greater angle and throw all these things into the city. After that, throw the fire pots into them and burn them." Damn, I don't know how smelly this stuff my men provided is, but at least it stunk dozens of soldiers when it was drying, so it must have some effect, right? Otherwise, my work would be in vain.
"Move the throwing arm limit switch back one grid, and use stink... stink bombs to attack..." The messenger suddenly stopped talking about the type of ammunition used, then held back his laughter and finished the rest of his words.
Hundreds of "stink bombs" flew in a super high parabola, high over the magic shields of the magicians, and flew towards the city wall. Hehe, there is a magic shield in front, I wonder if there is one behind you? If there is no shield, then I hope you can withstand the test of my "chemical weapons". If I can't kill you, I will stink you up so much that you can't calm down and cast magic!
After throwing all the 'stinky bombs', I felt something was wrong. Why did the magician on the other side look like this? Damn it, how could I forget this? It turned out that I forgot to confuse the opponent and directly let all the catapults throw behind the city wall, completely ignoring the magicians on the city wall who were waiting for me to attack. Now many of those magicians turned around and looked under the city wall behind them. I hope they don't guess what I'm going to do immediately, otherwise all my efforts will be wasted. Although I don't want to rely on those things to play a big role, I still hope that those stinky oak leaves can play a role. There is no wind today, which is a good opportunity for me to try this trick!
"Odd-numbered catapults use stones to attack the magicians on the city wall; even-numbered catapults attack in the original direction, throwing incendiary bombs. After two rounds of attacks, they begin indiscriminate attacks on buildings in the city!" Thinking of my own shortcomings, I immediately asked my subordinates to improve the attack method.
Soon, flames began to appear behind the city wall, and then black smoke rose from the Waste Stone City again. It seems that the Senke Federation, which was called barbarians by the Kastek Empire, has not made any progress. Is fire prevention so difficult? Gradually, white smoke from the inside of the city wall slowly dissipated and soon enveloped the entire top of the city wall.
Through the telescope, I immediately discovered that there was a problem on the wall of Wild Stone City. The color of the magic shields cast by those magicians had become much lighter, and many of them were in a shaky state.
******, is that really the case? Yesterday I just said that I wanted to collect a large amount of things that would emit a bad odor after burning, preferably the kind that would make people run away after smelling it. I didn't expect that I would find such a useful thing now.
When I raised the telescope again, my eyes almost popped out. Could this thing be that cruel? Just with that much skill, more than 5 magicians fell down in my sight.
"Hit them hard. If you can destroy those magicians, I will give you a huge reward... Ugh!" Damn it, what should I reward them for? I have been a soldier most of the time, and my entire assets are only a few hundred gold coins. I can't afford to reward each of them with a gold coin. Damn it, if I don't reward them, there is still Sack! No matter what, once the words are spoken, they can be spilled. If I swallow this sentence, then my little "reputation" will be turned into water in the end. I will talk about it later!
After hearing what I said, my men worked even harder, throwing huge rocks and incendiary canisters onto and inside the city wall, almost preparing to burn the entire north gate to ashes in a few breaths.
Finally, the magicians on the wall began to wake up and found that the white smoke with a strong odor was released by the burning of the things thrown in earlier, and the magicians lying on the ground were almost fainted by the smoke. The powerful magicians immediately added a comprehensive magic shield to themselves and began to prepare to rescue their companions who had been knocked down by the odor of the stinking oak leaves.
"All catapults aim at the magician troops on the city wall, and the crossbow troops also aim at the magicians on the city wall, kill them all..." Seeing that the magic shield on the city wall was getting thinner and thinner, I couldn't wait to give the order for a general attack. Although the crossbows are difficult to control in terms of height, they are only used to break your magic, so there should be no problem, right
"Sir, it's bad. An unidentified army appeared behind us. Judging from their numbers, it should be an infantry division. What should we do?" A soldier on the watchtower slid down quickly and ran over to me panting to report what he saw. Unfortunately, this soldier was also selected from those slave soldiers. If he had been formally trained or a soldier in the Flame Legion, I would not be so unlucky.
"Fire the crossbows twice towards the city wall, then drag the crossbow carts to the back and form a formation. The catapults continue to attack the magicians on the city wall!" I gave orders continuously and climbed up the watchtower quickly.
From the telescope, I saw a group of nearly 10,000 soldiers, all of whom were tall and strong, rushing towards our position. Their muscles were really well-developed. If they were in our world, those bodybuilders or Arnold would definitely not survive. But now it's a war, and I have 500 crossbows waiting for you! I don't know if you can run to me, and my Flame Legion's 1 Light Cavalry Division is not a pushover. . . . . .
Go! Today's 3 chapters add up to 7,000, right? Now I can finally go to bed. The first chapter will be published at almost noon tomorrow. Don't leave your votes for others, hehe! ^O^
