Heroes of the Invincible Knight Chapter 622

The orcs' camps stretched for dozens of miles, and the outer walls of refusing horses, pits, watchtowers, and civil structures were arranged in a very orderly manner. It was not easy to get the cheap from the orcs like the sea clan.

Against the arrangement of the orcs, the army actually had no good way to do it except for a strong attack. If only ordinary soldiers were to fight, then they would really only be able to keep filling the grinder of flesh and blood.

But the attacking human army is different now. Not only are they pushing traditional siege equipment such as shield carts and rushing carts, but also bombs that the orcs have never seen before are constantly falling in the orcs' camps.

"boom!"

The weight of the new blaster didn't change much, it was still ten jins of charge, the metal casing was sealed, filled with some messy iron slag, and it wasn't a dumb guy like a trebuchet, but a human soldier who set it on fire. The giant behind the lead rope directly grabbed the ten-pound bomb and threw it into the orc's camp.

At this time, hundreds of bombs weighing ten kilograms had fallen from the orc camp that was attacked by humans. There were many pits and pits everywhere, and several gaps appeared in the original wooden wall.

Although the gunpowder after improving the formula ratio and achieving granulation is still not as good as the explosives of later generations, its power is still considerable. At least with the current power and stability, it is no longer useless for war. into a weapon.

And based on the idea that the power is not enough to fill the weight, the bombs made by the Beidi Ordnance Factory are at least ten kilograms of charge, and there are even large bombs such as twenty and fifty kilograms, some of which fall to the ground and explode. The power is no less than the power of the artillery shells of later generations.

The orcs have no preparations to avoid the cannons. The Dazhai where a legionnaire was stationed was plowed by hundreds of thunderbolts and became scattered. Some of the refusal horses blocking the road were directly thrown away, and they did not know how to roll after landing. Wherever it is, the defensive ability of this stronghold can at least destroy half of the bombing.

What's more serious is the blow to the soldiers in the village. When the thunder hits the ground, the huge power can bring the orc soldiers around five or six meters into the sky. The heavy armor on them that can block the strong crossbow is very weak in the explosion. , the power of the shock can directly impact the orc warriors under heavy armor. Some orc warriors who fell to the ground in the explosion did not seem to have any scars on their bodies, but the fabrics except the armor were torn apart, and a small amount of blood flowed out of the ears and nostrils. It is very likely that Internal organs have been shattered.

As for the shrapnel and iron sand splashed by the thunder, the damage range is even wider. The range of 30 to 40 meters around the landing point is their damage radius. The iron armor can't stop the damage of this shrapnel.

After a few rounds of bombing, at least two or three thousand orc warriors were killed or injured in the camp. A small number of them were killed directly, and some were not injured by iron sand and shrapnel, but they were injured by these iron sand soaked in strange liquids. , Even if you don't die on the spot, there is a high probability of wound infection afterward.

There were such heavy casualties before the short battle. The morale of the orcs at this time can be imagined. The morale of the orcs, which was not too high due to the long-distance attack on the city and the long-term attack, has now fallen directly to the bottom.

It stands to reason that hundreds of bombs should not cause such heavy losses to the orcs, but the orcs have no experience in dealing with bombs. The normal camp they set up is always aimed at the cold weapon army, otherwise digging a few trenches for Tibetan soldiers will also Most of the explosion damage is avoided.

When the thunder fell, many orc warriors didn't even do the most basic actions of lying on the ground.

Only later did they discover that the more they gathered, the higher the possibility of being attacked by thunderbolts, which caused the orc warriors to subconsciously spread out. They did not learn to lie down on the ground to reduce the probability of being bombed, but first learned the sparse formation. There should be a lot of people gathered around the original broken wooden wall, but now there are not many orc warriors stationed there.

"Get up, don't lie on the ground!"

"Orcs don't need cowards! Give me back to my place!"

"Supervising the team! Supervising the team!"

"All the soldiers who left their positions without authorization and ran about in the camp are immediately executed, and all the soldiers lying on the ground are guilty of the same!"

The Orc Legion Commander commanded here obviously does not know how to be flexible. Even when the explosion caused a large number of casualties to the soldiers, he still required discipline according to the old pattern, not allowing the soldiers to scatter or lie on the ground to avoid damage.

After all, deserters who lie on the ground and pretend to be dead are easy to appear in war, so in the eyes of most officers, lying on the ground is basically the same as deserters.

At the request of the legion commander, some soldiers were hacked to death by the guards who were supervising the battle, and the other part stood up and gathered together in trembling, and continued to bear the huge damage caused by the explosion, until the commander of the orc flag of a great samurai was directly killed. The bombing thunder that fell beside him became a hornet's nest, causing the entire flag regiment to collapse.

The head of the orc flag was also unlucky. The explosion of thunder did not little damage to ordinary soldiers, but it was actually not a big threat to officers at the level of the Great Samurai.

Unlike in modern warfare, officers are also mortal bodies, and generals can't stand an ordinary 7.62. Orc officers are several times the physical quality of ordinary soldiers, extraordinary people who master the fighting spirit, and their armor is also thicker than ordinary soldiers. on a lot. Whether it is defensive power, physique and reaction speed, they are not on the same level as ordinary soldiers.

The lethality of bombing mines is only at the primary level of gunpowder weapons, and it has not developed to the crazy power behind it.

Some of the iron sand that splashed out before was blocked by him with the battle axe before it hit the big orc warrior, and some of the armor that had penetrated his body was missed. In the muscles, after the vindictive energy is running, it can be squeezed out, which is basically no problem.

Therefore, during the explosion, these officers could look calm, stand upright amid the flying clods and iron sand and the firelight of the explosion, and could also play a role in stabilizing the military.

However, due to the different lengths of the fuses, a twenty-pound bomb exploded in the air less than a foot below the head of the orc flag.

The head of the orc flag at the center of the explosion almost endured the full power of the blast. The iron sand and shrapnel hit him like a honeycomb. The original fine armor was all densely packed with small holes, and blood ran along the small holes in the iron armor. seeped out.

The worst part was the head. The shrapnel cut almost the entire face into a flat surface. Because of the great warrior's strong vitality, after being knocked down by the explosion, the head of the orc flag even struggled on the ground, and the surrounding orc soldiers still planned to He went up to the rescue, but a second thunderbolt fell, which made him completely dead, and the soldiers under his command were also completely shattered by this thunderbolt.

After the death of the head of the orc flag, more than 4,000 orc warriors could no longer maintain their formations and began to avoid themselves. Even the guards who were supervising the battle stopped going up to force the soldiers. Lying on the ground and protecting his head, those who didn't understand the situation even got into the tent in the camp.

In a word, the Orc soldiers of the entire camp fell into chaos after the first encounter with the explosion of thunder, and the wrong command of the Orc Legion made this chaos into an irreversible situation.

At this time, it was also a good time to attack. An orc camp that had been waiting for the attack completely opened its arms to the attacking human army.

"Stop throwing bombs, the first flag regiment starts to attack."

"Yes!"

The general who is commanding the attack is Quill. He is considered to be a fast-growing general under Richard's command. It is no problem to stand on his own. After starting the main attack, the orc camp that was stuck on the main road of their attack was the first target he wanted to take down.

Although it's not the first time Quill has seen the explosion, there is still a big difference between the experimental viewing and the senses in actual combat. At least the power and effect are greater than he imagined.

However, the power of the thunderbolt thrown on the orc's head is of course the bigger the better, and it does not give the opponent a chance to react. After hundreds of thunderbolts blew the opponent into a mess, Quill immediately ordered the ground army to launch attacked.

"Come on!"

The thousands of soldiers who were in the vanguard rushed into the orc camp with almost no difficulty. The arrows that should have been flying in a dense manner only fell on the heads of these soldiers. The refusal of the road was quickly lifted. No orc soldiers came up to stop it.

Even the originally sturdy walls were a bit tattered, with at least a few large holes through which several people could pass.

The first banner regiment that attacked was not satisfied. Before they got close to the wall, a group of soldiers took several hundred kilograms of gunpowder bags and posted them first.

"Prepare to blast, everyone escape!"

"quick!"

After the improvement of gunpowder, Richard proposed a variety of methods for use on the battlefield, and then the generals repeatedly demonstrated and tried them out.

But the most basic application method has been practiced almost. This method of directly burying a large amount of gunpowder under the camp and igniting it and blasting it has been tried many times. The soldiers responsible for burying the gunpowder have also been specially trained for a period of time.

Because there was basically no resistance from the orcs on the periphery, the process of burying the gunpowder was extremely smooth. It only took about ten minutes to fill the prepared gunpowder packet to the bottom of the wall.

After the surrounding soldiers retreated hundreds of meters and lay on the ground, the soldier responsible for blasting lit the fuse, and a loud bang broke out ten seconds later.

Thick black smoke billowed tens of meters high, and the entire battlefield could be seen almost. The orc soldiers who were still behind the wall estimated that they would not even be able to find a complete corpse at this time.

"Rush in."

"kill!"

The commanding officer didn't even wait for the black smoke to dissipate completely. He knew very well that after that amount of gunpowder exploded, this kind of civil stockade built up in a few days would not be able to withstand it.

The brigade of human soldiers rushed into the orc camp almost unscathed in the thick black smoke.

At this time, the orc camp was still in chaos. Facing the rushing human soldiers, most of them did not resist, turned their heads and ran away. Soldiers who have lost their will to fight are impossible to fight, even if these orc warriors On average, they are a full head higher than human warriors.

"Line up! Block these humans!"

"Break thunder, throw!"

"boom!"

The army at least entered the orc camp for nearly 500 meters before finally encountering decent resistance. The orc army commander brought his own guards, gathered thousands of soldiers around, and killed the human soldiers who entered the camp. go.

Despite the fact that there are only a thousand orc soldiers, it is not easy to eliminate them with a banner regiment. If the orc warriors do not lose their fighting spirit, even the most elite human army will not be able to get any advantage in frontal battles.

However, the human soldiers who acted as vanguards did not use the familiar routines of the orcs. Instead of charging with big guns after firing all bows and crossbows, they threw hundreds of small bombs when they came up.

These less than two kilograms of explosive charges are not large, but they are more accurate in throwing them. After they fell into the orcs pile over a distance of tens of meters and exploded, it caused a burst of chaos, and dozens of orcs were bombed. dead and wounded.

However, these orcs who followed the legion commander had a stronger will to fight. After being thrown by the bomb for a while, they did not collapse, but instead continued to move forward with clenched teeth.

"Rush over and mix with these humans."

"kill!"

At this time, the orc commander finally issued a correct order, and the orcs no longer stick to any formation at this time, and rushed forward with weapons and shouts.

"clang!"

"Hey!"

The two sides fought fiercely together, the steel collided with blood, and the orcs were suppressed to the extreme by the explosion.

The first banner regiment that attacked was not satisfied. Before they got close to the wall, a group of soldiers took several hundred kilograms of gunpowder bags and posted them first.

"Prepare to blast, everyone escape!"

"quick!"
