Chapter 857: Gunpowder Smoke Under the Falling Dragon City (Part 2)

boom! boom! boom!

The continuous roar of artillery fire, even on the fierce and abnormal battlefield, is still very harsh, making people's hearts tremble uncontrollably.

I saw the magic cannons lined up one by one, and the dazzling red light from the muzzles appeared one after another in the dark night.

Where the muzzle of the dark cannon was pointing, the right legion responsible for guarding the half-orc formation exploded into groups of rising flames.

Then it quickly spread to the surroundings, just like a storm of flames that suddenly swept over, dangerous and deadly.

Engulfed by the blazing flames, the half-orc soldiers wailed and turned into struggling fireballs.

Before that, in order to minimize the damage from the arrow rain of the cavalry archers, the half-orc soldiers had already closed their formation and huddled behind the heavy infantry.

Such a dense stance just allowed the lethality of the magic cannon to be maximized.

All of a sudden, gunpowder smoke and the smell of scorched lakes were everywhere, severed limbs and corpses flew together, and the army on the right side of the orcs suffered heavy losses in an instant, and became extremely chaotic like a headless fly.

I saw the panicked half-orc soldiers, although they still showed killing intent on their faces, they had no choice but to let the fiery flames continue to explode around them.

What caused all this was the 100 second-tier fire-type magic cannons that Lei Xiao carried with him.

Due to the limited number of mana light crystals, most of them were dispatched to various places, so this was already the limit of Lei Xiao's firepower.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that for an army of 100,000, even 100 Tier 2 magic cannons would be of limited use.

But this is not his main attack method, it's just a prelude to throwing bricks to attract jade.

As for the real highlight, it is waiting for the opponent to reveal its own flaws before it officially debuts.

Not long ago, taking advantage of the pitch-black night, Lei Xiao unabashedly deployed rows of magic cannons not far from the army on the right side of the orcs, but he was not worried that the other party would attack in large numbers.

Because there is an invisible obstacle between the two, that is the swamp line of defense that the half-orcs had set up before.

By the time the half-orc soldiers crossed the mud, he had already fled elsewhere.

At the same time, since the knotweed has already fought against the opponent, both sides have fifth-order powerhouses in charge.

The half-orc leader will not easily fight, or send other elite powerhouses to die.

After grasping the opponent's mind, Lei Xiao even threw a fifth-order magic scroll "Wrath of the Flame Dragon" into the chaotic and dense army formation of half-orcs, directly vaporizing half-orcs of more than one brigade instantly.

"This hateful human race is killing me!"

Seeing the army on his right was engulfed in a sea of flames, while the army on his left was dodging the rain of arrows in embarrassment, the orc leader finally understood the intention of Lei Xiao's series of actions while roaring angrily.

After completely annihilating the jumping dragon cavalry as a mobile force, Lei Xiao used the cavalry archers, which no one could check and balance, to continuously harass all directions of the orc formation.

Due to the extremely fast speed of the cavalry puppets, some half-orc longbowmen, javeliners, and half-orc shamans who were transferred back to defend could not hit the target accurately.

As for the catapult, most of it was lost under the purposeful attack of the red stones on the city wall. Coupled with its slow moving speed, it was even more unable to deal with the horse archers who came and went freely.

This forced the half-orc leader to fully shrink his formation, and deployed a circle of swamp traps around the formation to prevent Lei Xiao's unscrupulous horse archers from approaching further.

But now, under the bombardment of magic cannons with a longer range, which bows and arrows and ordinary spells cannot reach.

The swamp trap originally used to defend against Lei Xiao has become a cage to trap the orc himself.

The most important thing is that the orc leader doesn't know how many magic cannons Lei Xiao has and how long they can last.

After sorting out everything clearly in his heart, a hint of panic finally appeared on the rough face of the half-orc leader who had been calm all along.

If the opponent took out some magic cannons and fired from multiple directions at the same time, plus that cavalry archer army, wouldn't his 100,000 army become a turtle in a urn at the mercy of others?

"Human Race, this leader will never let your schemes succeed!"

Thinking of this, the half-orc leader didn't hesitate, and immediately began to order the herald to order the half-orc shaman group to refill a swamp at the rear, left side and right side of the army formation.

Then, mobilize 3 legions mainly composed of light and heavy infantry to line up outside the circle, forming a horned situation with other siege legions in the circle.

In this way, no matter which side is attacked by the hateful human scum, the other side will provide timely support until the other party is completely wiped out.

Of course, the progress of the siege still cannot be slowed down.

As long as Luolong City is broken, no matter how powerful the human cavalry archers are, once the city gate is closed, the opponent will be useless.

"Human race, let's see what tricks you can come up with this time, boss! If you want to shake the leader's 100,000 army, this little trick won't work!"

After arranging everything properly, the half-orc leader let out a cold snort, and continued to keep an eye on the situation on the battlefield.

"My lord, the opponent really filled up part of the swamp trap, and chose to divide their troops to deal with it!"

At the corner of the magic cannon position, Ariel saw that the opponent's army formation was changing rapidly, and she couldn't help blurting out: "Everything is exactly as you expected! As long as the opponent reduces the defense of the main formation, the rest will be fine." Done!"

"It seems that the real highlight is about to begin."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, then put away all the magic cannons, and hid in the darkness with Ariel and others again.

Since everything is as expected, then at the beginning, it is natural to let the other party taste the sweetness, in case the other party makes other changes.

"Hahaha, the offensive of the magic cannon has really stopped!"

Seeing that his method of dividing troops had worked, the half-orc leader laughed wildly, obviously extremely satisfied.

Overjoyed, the orc leader separated another three legions to guard the swamps that had been filled in on the left, back, and right to prevent accidents.

So far, apart from the two long-range legions continuing to attack the city under the cover of the two melee legions, the half-orc leader has no other reserve forces except for a small number of personal guards.

However, the calm around the half-orc army formation did not last long.

Not long after, the cavalry archers appeared on the right side of the half-orc formation again in a yoke formation, and harassed the half-orc formation in two directions separately.

"Dare to provoke at both ends, the archers, javeliners and shamans attack left and right, trying to kill this hateful horse archer!"

The orc leader waved his hand, and the three outer legions and the right legion immediately began to encircle the cavalry archers.

Because the cavalry archers were too deep into the half-orc army, they lost a lot for a while.

And the cavalry puppet archers were not to be outdone, and began to retreat while fighting back.

"Press all the leaders up!"

Seeing that his formation was further effective, the orc leader was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the four legions to press forward across the board, trying to wipe out the horse archer puppet legion in one go.

But at this moment, the earth-shattering bombardment of magic cannons sounded from the oblique rear of the formation.

"The rear legion presses forward across the board, together with half of the left legion's strength, they attack the enemy's magic cannon positions together!"

The half-orc leader hardly hesitated, but chose the same response method as before.

So far, most of the six half-orc legions in charge of defense have deviated from their original defensive positions, leaving only the half legion on the left, still standing firm.

"Cunning human race, if you still want to attack this leader from both sides, let this leader use two prongs to wipe out all your power!"

The half-orc leader sneered, narrowed his cloudy eyes, and watched closely the development of the battle on the right and diagonally behind.

However, in the next second, something that the half-orc leader did not expect happened.

thump! thump! thump!

The rapid and heavy sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded continuously from the left side of the half-orc army formation.

Before the half-legion half-orc soldiers on the left side of the formation could react.

One by one, heavy armored knights, like mobile fortresses, have already broken through the darkness of the night, coming in mighty momentum.

Under the reflection of the cold moon, the sharp lances shining with cold light were particularly dazzling, which made the faces of the orc soldiers who were caught off guard turn pale.

"Array! Defense... Ugh!"

Before the half-orc commander in front of the formation finished speaking, a crystal clear ice lance pierced through his chest, bringing out a shocking bright red.

Afterwards, more blood, like red lotuses in full bloom, began to bloom one after another in the half-orc soldiers' camp, causing the pungent **** smell to spread crazily across the battlefield.

Under the unstoppable lances and horseshoes, the terrified half-orc soldiers were either pierced by lances, or were directly knocked out, or fell to the ground and were trampled beyond recognition. There was no room for retaliation at all.

In the blink of an eye, the left line of defense was completely penetrated by the sudden heavy cavalry, leaving only half-orc corpses scattered all over the floor.

Needless to say, this is Lei Xiao's real highlight, the Loren Heavy Cavalry Legion summoned by Sarah's [Stone of God].

The previous defeat of the horse archers was just to attract the opponent's attention.

Moreover, before the cavalry puppets formally attacked, Lei Xiao had already ordered Bai Zhi and the other half-elves to withdraw to avoid unnecessary losses.

As for the heavy cavalry corps of Wang Zha, according to Lei Xiao's instructions, the standard conical formation was adopted, but the formation was appropriately contracted when passing through the relatively narrow entrance of the swamp.

At the same time, Lei Xiao deployed 30 third-tier peak ice knights, all of them at the forefront of the formation.

In this way, it is undoubtedly possible to maximize the combat effectiveness of this heavy cavalry corps.

The target of Lei Xiao's attack was the two half-orc long-distance legions that were still sieging the city.

Only by successfully cutting off the opponent's pair of iron pincers can the losses on and off Luolong City be greatly reduced.

At that time, the distance from completely defeating the opponent will no longer be far away.

"Another heavy cavalry of tens of thousands?! That cunning bastard!"

Looking at the mighty Loren heavy cavalry, the orc leader's bloodshot eyeballs were about to protrude.

He never imagined that that humble human race could summon cavalry forces of the size of two legions at the same time!

For a moment, the rough face of the half-orc leader began to distort due to extreme surprise and anger, and he had to roar and order the herald to call back the chasing legions to defend.

Just when the orc leader was impotent and furious.

The heavy cavalry regiment commanded by Lei Xiao had already re-formed and galloped straight towards the two long-distance regiments.

Because it all happened too suddenly.

Feeling the earth-shattering killing intent, when the two long-range legions who were attacking the city wholeheartedly at the front and the two infantry legions in charge of guarding reacted, they all turned their heads to check.

A bunch of extremely sharp lances were already on the tip of their noses.

The heart-piercing screams were mixed with the galloping horses, and there was a crazily sound below the city.

At the same time, Hongshi, who had received Lei Xiao's order, had temporarily stopped attacking the city, and began to take time to rest and re-arm.

I saw the Loren heavy cavalry in black heavy armor and the crystal clear ice knight, like a torrent of steel, quickly crushed the four half-orc legions that had already lost a lot.

Especially the two long-range legions with weak defenses were already exhausted and had no room to fight back, so they had to let the knights whizzing by pass through their hearts.

And the two infantry regiments, after the initial panic, reacted quickly and began to form a counterattack.

However, due to the excellent defense of the Loren heavy cavalry, the ice knights are almost invulnerable, and the two infantry regiments are not the targets of our cavalry.

Therefore, the role it can play is undoubtedly extremely limited.

"Bastard! This leader wants to deal with these hateful puppets himself!"

After giving the order, the orc leader didn't hesitate, swung the giant hammer in his hand, and shot towards the city at top speed.

But before he took a few steps, he was forcibly stopped by a burly figure holding a sword, it was the knotweed that had been waiting here.

"It's you again, this leader must smash you into mud this time!"

The half-orc leader roared ~ with endless murderous aura, and launched a fierce attack on the knotweed.

But just a few rounds of fierce fighting between the two sides, another slender figure exuding a vast momentum appeared out of thin air behind the orc leader.

Needless to say, this is the Jiangli who just eliminated all the orc guards.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao, who was hiding under the invisibility cloak, nodded in satisfaction.

At this stage, those chasing legions haven't rushed back yet, this is undoubtedly the best chance to kill the orc leader.

As long as it is successfully killed, everything will naturally be solved.

However, just when Jiang Li was quietly concentrating on casting a spell, Lei Xiao thought that the overall situation had been settled.

Another black shadow exuding a vast momentum suddenly descended from the sky, blocking between the orc leader and Jiang Li.
