My Empire

Chapter 78 - Siege



Zorn really wanted to curse, he really wanted to point to the row of dragon heads hanging on the opposite city wall, and loudly question the **** general Moss from the Holy Demon Empire in front of him: “You can’t see yours. Are the heads of the dragons hanging on the walls? Are you blind?”

But he really didn’t dare. For a moment, he really envied the enemies on the opposite city wall, at least they had the courage to fight in front of the Saint Demon Empire’s army, at least they could fight the Saint Demon Empire’s army without dying.

He has no rifles or machine guns, no cannons or anti-aircraft guns, so he can only swallow his breath at this time, disguise himself as a coward, and humble his head in front of the generals of the Holy Demon Empire.

So, no matter how irritated or cursed in his heart, what he said turned into a low-pitched answer: “I will order the troops to attack Malicha… soon, I will definitely be able to attack in the morning!”

“As soon as possible!” A bit unable to suppress his furious body, General Moss took the reins of the horse and walked arrogantly backwards. His pride and capital were too much, such as the invincible behind him. 3000 giant horse cavalry.

“It’s definitely not enough to count on these mortals. Let them consume the opponent first. Let’s take a look at the mortals on the opposite side. How many catties are there.” While riding his horse back to his army, Commander Moss spoke to his side. Said several lieutenants.

All he brought was cavalry, which was actually not suitable for attacking the opponent’s walls. Originally, what he thought was that the battle of siege would be handed over to the dragon knight of Eldor. He was only responsible for following the infantry of the Arante Empire and pushing it all the way to the city of Seris.

Who could have imagined that in the event of unforeseen circumstances, Ildo’s dragon knight troops suffered heavy losses in Maricha and lost the ability to attack large cities. And what I brought here were all cavalry, not suitable to join the siege battle, in fact, it is not impossible to attack the city, but when attacking the city, the impact of these giant horse cavalry will be greatly reduced.

Under normal circumstances, they can only attack the city gate and use the impact of the giant horse beast to knock open the city gate. Only in this way, it is inevitable to lose some giant horse cavalry, because the opponent’s city gate will basically prepare some things like oil and kerosene.

Moreover, when defending, mortal troops generally like to use boulders behind the gate to prevent the opponent from breaking in. Therefore, when he came up to take risks with giant cavalry, General Moss was still reluctant.

In his heart, mortals can be consumed, and letting the soldiers of the Arante Empire go to death and test out the strength of the opponent is something that should be done before the war begins. As for the death and immortality of the soldiers of the Arante Empire, that is not something he needs to worry about.

On the other side, Zorn, who had promised to organize the offensive, began to dispatch troops with a pale face: “Let the three 10,000-person teams gather together and prepare to attack Malicha! Push up the red cannons we carry… “

“Are you crazy?” Seeing that General Zon was about to start the offensive, Prince Arant Rumbach grabbed Zon’s arm and asked with some dismay: “You can’t see the city over there. , With so many heads of dragons hanging?”

“I saw it! But what can I do? If we don’t attack now, the cavalry of the 3000 Saint Demon Empire will be able to slaughter our hundreds of thousands of troops in one morning!” Zorn threw Rumbach away. Hand, explained reluctantly.

“I just pretended to be a tentative attack, and retreat after losing some soldiers…” He felt lucky that the loss of 8,000 people was a cost-effective thing to stop the commander of the Holy Demon Empire.

“Have you ever thought about it, now this situation is obviously a fight between the gods! We rushed in. If Ailan Hill really insisted, we still have a little bit of fruit to eat?” As a royal family, Naturally, I want to think of a retreat for my family.

He felt that he couldn’t fight with Ailan Hill at the moment, but let the Holy Demon Empire attack Ailan Hill first, and when the victor came into being, Alante would stand on the side of the victor. Even if it pays some price for this, it is still bearable.

“Fool!” Zorn still pushed Rumbach away, angrily said: “The Holy Demon Empire has won, and the Arante Empire still has a chance to survive for hundreds of years! But if any mortal empire rises, still Will there be a need for the Arante Empire?”

“Hiss…” When General Zorn said so, Lumbak realized that it seemed that he had just thought about the peace based on diplomatic compromise, and it seemed that the security of the Arante Empire could not be guaranteed.

At this time, he finally realized that the world had really changed. As a mortal, he wanted to keep his position, but he could only follow behind the Holy Demon Empire wholeheartedly and be a dog leg. In his opinion, this feeling is really bad, very bad.

Zorn ignored the lost Rembach, and continued to give combat orders to several officers around him. He wants to crush at least 30,000 troops and test whether the defenders in Marizhane can fight.

“Woo…!” The long sound of the horn echoed in the sky, and the green battle flags fluttered in the wind. The soldiers of the Arante Empire slowly walked out of the forest and slowly formed a huge square on the plain outside the walls of Maritsa.

Some soldiers were holding shields, and some soldiers were holding long ladders. Behind them, red-clothed cannons were pushed out. They looked majestic and their muzzles pointed diagonally at the sky.

“Boom! Boom!” The dull drums of war began to sound, and the densely packed Arante Empire army began to form three huge phalanxes under the restraint of the officers. The spear is like a forest, with a sense of majesty and pride from a distance.

go ahead! The commanding generals drew their long swords from their waists and pointed them at Maritza. Following their torn cry, the phalanx of the Arante Empire began to move forward slowly.

However, their footsteps are a bit frightening. Because these soldiers saw the unforgettable blood dragon heads on the city through the gaps in the shields.

While stepping forward cautiously, a soldier asked his comrades in a low voice in fear: “Did you see those dragon heads? Did the dragon knights who followed us before have been killed here?”

“Stop talking, my calves are weak! Isn’t it a joke for us to attack an enemy who can kill so many dragon knights?” Another soldier holding a shield replied in trembling language.

All the sane soldiers now know that they are marching toward great danger. Maybe this huge city in front of you will suddenly come to life, opening its blood basin and swallowing all the Arante soldiers.

However, while waiting for the soldiers of the Arante Empire to approach a distance of less than 200 meters, Maricha still did not open fire. Although there was a dull sound of artillery fire in the city, these shells did not fall among the soldiers of the Arante Empire.

It’s not that these shells missed, but that these shells fell on the artillery positions of the Arante Empire. Those red cannons that cost a lot of money to build, did not even let out a roar, they were blown into a pile of scrap iron by the cannonballs.

Looking at the continuously exploding position of the own artillery, Moss, the commander of the Holy Demon Empire who had been watching the entire battle, finally changed his expression. He wondered whether he could avoid such shelling.

In the end, he came to his own conclusion: Although such shelling is unlikely to be avoided completely, for the giant horse cavalry, such a degree of damage is not terrible. Fighting to lose dozens of knights and close the distance is something that can still be done for the Warcraft Cavalry of the Holy Demon Empire.

“Boom!” About a minute later, after eliminating the artillery of the Arante Empire, the artillery of Ailan Hill finally began to attack the attacking phalanx of the Arrant Empire infantry. In just one round of volleys, the 10,000-ton team of the Arrant Empire closest to the city wall collapsed under the sound of gunfire.

Because it is a defensive operation and has complete shooting parameters, the artillery of Ailan Hill is quite accurate. About 40 shells landed on an infantry phalanx at the same time, and no firepower was wasted at all.

Forty rounds of high-explosive shells fell almost at the same time, and each shell almost made hundreds of people lose their combat effectiveness. Because the Arante Empire used a dense phalanx when attacking the city, the lethality was definitely unprecedented.

Then, the infantry phalanx of the Arrant Empire quickly fell apart after losing about 2,000 men. Originally, these soldiers were afraid of attacking Malicha. Now the Great Demon King has really come to the world, and of course these soldiers are also here. There is no courage to go on fighting.

So after losing one-fifth of its troops, the 10,000-ton team began to retreat. No matter how their commanders and squad leaders urged and spurred, these defeated soldiers would not make any further progress.

Facts have proved that they are relatively lucky, because another phalanx of the Arante Empire near the head of the city was hit by even more terrifying fire from the Maricha garrison.

Hundreds of soldiers pulled the trigger behind the crenel, and rifle bullets flew into the crowd, splashing blood in it. Before we could figure out what terrible thing they had encountered, the second round of volleys on the city’s head It started.

Before these soldiers of the Arrant Empire made up their minds to fight, another round of artillery fell on their heads. The originally chaotic formation was completely messed up, and within a few breaths of this phalanx, about 3,000 people were lost.
