Chapter 22: Siege Means
Uther was very confident. He felt that his soldiers' quality was not worse than that of the Jade Leader's army, or even more elite. However, the Jade Leader's engineering technology was too far ahead of Lordaeron, and the Jade Leader's fighting style subverted his understanding of war.
Although many powerful engineering weapons have little effect on them, they often play a decisive role in the battles of low-end soldiers. He finally realized the frustration of orcs attacking Jade Leader.
The armies of both sides began to bombard, one side was artillery produced by goblins and the other side was artillery led by Jasper. Moreover, Lordaeron was still above the city wall, but the range of their artillery could not attack the opponent's army.
The army led by Jasper was just the opposite. Although they were below, they shattered more than a dozen Lordaeron's artillery in just one round of attack. Dozens of artillery bombarded the city walls with only a few shells. Even if the others did not bombard the artillery, they exploded on the city walls. They also caused considerable damage.
They did not know that the reason why shells had such a long range was that in addition to the better artillery, Jade-necked shells also began to improve the air-to-air shells of fighter jets. Although the current ground-to-air shells are still in the preliminary research stage, they are only a primary effect. They have made great progress. Because the world laws of Azeroth are different from those of the earth, even if engineering from the earth is studying to propose this concept, it will take a long time to truly study it. Various scientific and technological theories on the earth are not feasible in Azeroth, and they are just concepts, but with the direction of development, the leading one is not a little bit.
The technology of goblins and gnomes comes from Titans, which can also be said to be the primary Titan technology, but what they know is really limited and they don’t even have a direction. Every progress consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and precious materials.
The surprise of the two types of artillery made the leaders of the alliance look at the Jade Leader's army more focused. They all knew that the Jade Leader's current Jade Leader's army was at least at the forefront of the world in terms of military industry. These armies are all the aces of Jade Leader, and the things they equipped must be the best products of Jade Leader.
Although they were very reluctant to see the internal friction between the countries of the alliance, they were more concerned about how to be equipped with these powerful engineering weapons. Every battle with Jade Leader seemed to be a textbook battle, breaking through their understanding of war. In the battle with orcs, this is still the case with Lordaeron.
They saw another strange thing like a mechanical car behind the Jade Cord. Gene, who had a feud with Lordaeron, even felt gloating. Seeing his old opponent being defeated in front of the Jade Cord, he felt a sense of expectation in his heart. At the same time, he also had a deep vigilance. How many methods does the Jade Cord have in use are there? They can attack Lordaeron today and attack Gilness tomorrow.
You should know that Gilness and Jasper Corps are adjacent to each other, both by land and by sea. Although there are many posts and strongholds of Gilness on land, and there are cliffs and terrifying reefs on sea and land. However, it is not a hindrance to possess the Jasper Corps of the Air Force.
The war continued in the complex thoughts of all parties. The Jade Leader was destroyed by the unwillingness of the Lordaeron soldiers. The Jade Leader made a huge cheer, and the destruction of the artillery meant that they could start siegeing the city.
Uther's eyes were red and he ordered loudly: "All the hunters were ready to snipe the enemy. The defensive soldiers stood in the front row, and the mage troops were behind. The air force used any method. Even if they used their lives, they would have to intercept the Jade-led Air Force. If they could not even stop the enemy at least twice as few as them, then come and see him."
Uther quickly made adjustments to the city wall and filled the vacant position just now. He was not worried about the other party's artillery. Lordaeron's kings were all newly built walls very thick and solid, especially the walls of the palace were the most solid. The other party's artillery might be able to smash the city wall, but it would take a long time.
He was very clear that the longer the delay was, the more beneficial it would be to them. He had sent out the message, and Lordaeron's army was gathering towards the capital. He believed that the commander of the Jade Leader would also choose the strategy of quick battle and quick decision. Therefore, the opponent's artillery would inevitably stop when the Jade Leader began to attack the city to avoid accidental injuries. He believed that as long as the real close-killing forces were connected, Lordaeron's soldiers would definitely be able to withstand the attack of the Jade Leader's soldiers. They rely on their strength to connect, not damn engineering.
When Moore saw that Lordaeron's artillery had been destroyed, he ordered loudly: "The artillery is ready for incendiary bombs. Launch a round. The engineering troops are ready, the engineering machinery is dispatched, and the engineering regiment is dispatched."
Hearing Moore's order, the artillery began to load new ammunition, but did not fire. Nearly two hundred huge trucks in front of the team were rumbling towards the city wall.
These big cars looked very ferocious, covered with heavy armor. The wheels and other places of the car body stretched out many barbs when the vehicle started. The rear seemed to be countless metal frames. There were a few soldiers at the end. Although the big cars looked bulky, their speed was not very slow.
Lordaeron's soldiers were all confused and didn't understand what the Jade Leader was going to do. Should he use these big chariots to attack the city?
They soon knew the answer, but it was also at this time that dozens of special shells bombarded the city walls. The shells were very fast, but the Jasper Leader's soldiers also reacted very quickly. The soldiers around had all dispersed and a range of shell explosions were empty.
However, these heavy shells did not explode in a huge shocking explosion, but exploded into large areas of viscous objects, and then turned into a blazing flame. The explosion began to be silent, but the range was larger than that of ordinary explosive bombs. Large areas of Lordaeron warriors were ignited by the fire and let out a shrill scream. The city walls were suddenly panicked, and Terenas could no longer be described as qi.
Since Brad started fighting, he seemed to like fire attack. Brad just took over the Jasper Corner's battle, and then burned hundreds of thousands of trolls, and then used fire attacks to defeat the orcs repeatedly, and then burned the ratchet city. These are all classic examples of Brad's battles. The officers of the Jasper Corner were also affected and began to like fire attacks.
Lordaeron's soldiers began to use earth bags to extinguish the fire from below. They all knew very well that if water was used to destroy the fire from the Jade-headed one, it would be a death-seeking act.
The jasper-necked cart below stopped at a distance of hundreds of yards. Two metal pillars suddenly stretched out from behind the huge vehicle, and then penetrated deeply into the rocks in the square. After the pillar was stuck in the square, it suddenly rose to a height of four yards, covering a layer of fine net on the top of the column. The machinery then started again, and a thin net was linked between the rear of the car and the column.
The engineering team consisted of motorcycles and fewer transport vehicles. They took advantage of the panic on the city wall and quickly took out various tools and established simple fortifications. The huge iron plates were erected one by one, and the thick deck was three yards high to form a simple arc that could defend the attack of arrows above the diagonally. There was a gap at a height of more than one yard, which was used for the muzzle.
Seeing that the fine nets and fortifications were put down, Moore shouted again: "There is a group of muskets, and the Paladins are a group of rushing with me."
As he said that, Moore jumped off his mount and rushed towards the city wall. Hearing Moore's shout, the Jade Leader soldiers who had already been waiting for the fighting spirit to rush up like a tide.
Seeing the jasper collar below, Uther finally woke up. Their releases of incendiary bombs were not mainly to kill Lordaeron's soldiers. Their real purpose was to temporarily hold the soldiers on the city walls, prevent them from launching strikes below, or prepare for siege. Those fine nets were to defend their arrows from the top, and the same was true for those steel barriers, and they must be the position of the Jade Leader's Musketeer Legion.
Terenas was very annoyed because he saw that the huge and ferocious collision of the jasper collar quickly approached the city gate. When the big cars reached the bottom of the city wall, the steel frames began to extend as if they came alive, and finally formed a ladder.
"Uther, let the cavalry open the city gate and charge, otherwise it would be difficult for us to prepare. Why have we never heard of Jasper Corps and such things?" Terenas's voice was full of anger. He was extremely disappointed with his intelligence department. As the MI7 and Jasper Corps' shadow troops shined, the alliance countries also began to establish their own intelligence organizations, but due to the short time and no experience, their role was very limited.
Uther said helplessly: "No, if we open the city gate, we should not try to close it, unless we give up the army outside the city. You have never seen the power of the Jasper Musket Legion, and you are simply the nemesis of the cavalry."
"Damn it, how did this bastard come up with so many ideas?" Terenas was extremely angry. In fact, he knew that this was the idea of the adventurer's hometown, but he had tried it, but unfortunately their engineering level was too far behind. Goblins also made some progress.
"More is coming up, I'll stop him." Uther said and left here.
Terenas felt so depressed. He now regretted that he had a little face just now and didn't let Fording and the others stay. Even if they weren't really stupid, they could at least intercept some strong people. And Lordaeron's strong men were the chief court mage besides Uther.
boom……
With the huge sound of a car crashing on the city gate, the competition for life and death officially began...
