The members of the 22nd Regiment are not sharp blades or night tribes, and they are not very good at enforcing military principles. Especially when facing the ragged refugee army, they are really reluctant to take action.
But now is not the time to talk about humanity. The firelight last night turned half of the sky red and could even be seen on the ground inside the city wall. The enemy may be particularly angry now. If the city is breached, the people in the city may not be able to survive. How many can survive.
The opponent's march was slow, so the 22nd Regiment had time to tailor countermeasures. When the enemy's front line arrived 300 meters away, they found some large iron speakers and started shouting.
"First Evolution"
The official language was used to avoid being understood by the refugees, so the loudspeakers were used by volunteer mage volunteers from the city. They were of very low level and were sufficient for shouting.
Just one sentence: Don’t kill those who lie down!
The orcs were whining and shouting loudly, and the sounds blessed by magic and iron horns could still be heard in the first few rows.
Is it true that those lying down on the battlefield will not be killed? Even if the 22nd Regiment had no subjective intention, whether they would die after lying down was still a matter of chance.
Magic guns do not use gunpowder. Giving a large amount of kinetic energy to the projectiles will still produce a small amount of recoil. Once the machine guns and cat-type weapons are fired, they will be covered in a large area. Even if it is a python-type weapon, it depends on the soldier's eyes and the state of the gun. Stray bullets can kill at any time.
However, the survival rate will be much higher if you lie down.
This move was very effective, and many of the refugee forwards actually fell down on the spot.
Then many people were hacked to death by the orcs who rushed up from behind.
Soldiers fired to save him, but to no avail.
"Behind us are our compatriots, our compatriots. No matter how much you sympathize with each other, you must hold on to the death line. If you can't fire, get off the city wall immediately!" the commanders yelled on the city wall.
The 22nd Regiment has only suppressed bandits and has not experienced bloody battles like the Regiment. Even if firearms can weaken the negative sense of killing, the people in the exile have more or less seen dead people when they grew up. However, facing a large-scale army, they will still Some soldiers cannot stand the pressure.
Fortunately, more soldiers can understand that they have no way to retreat, and the lives of 70,000 to 80,000 citizens behind them are waiting for them to protect.
The lethal distance of the Python Type II armor against unarmored targets can exceed 800 meters. If it hits the head, it can kill someone at 1,500 meters. However, the Python Type II C armor and the new sight have not yet been installed in the entire army. Due to poor eyesight and sights, shooting from a distance of 300 meters can only be considered a random attack.
The dead line was set at a position of two hundred meters. Before the orc army arrived to station outside the city, lime mortar had been painted on the corresponding position to help the soldiers familiarize themselves with the attack range.
One hundred and fifty meters away, the deterrent effect of most magic will become more limited, and even some stronger ones can be dealt with using the Styx series.
No matter how powerful it is, don’t be afraid, because there is a temporary city defense magic array deployed near the city wall. Its working method is not to offset the damage but to interfere with the forming magic to reduce the power. It is also relying on this thing that the earthquake just now did not destroy the sacred trees inside the city wall. The bones of the skull were torn apart.
The death line was drawn at 200 meters instead of 150 meters simply because there were too many enemies. The 22nd Regiment plus the Lukou City Defense Army only had more than 3,000 people, and some of them had to stare in other directions to avoid being attacked from other directions. The direction is to steal homes, and then cut out a small number of reserve troops to work in shifts. The maximum frontal deployment is less than 2,000.
There were a lot of things going on, but in fact there was not much time for hesitation in the process. When the forward pushed to about 300 meters, the enemy began to launch a large-scale projectile attack.
To attack the city wall from under the city wall, projectile shooting is the only option. Those who challenge the arrow stack with direct fire are novices who think they can make arrows in seconds at zero cost.
However, the projectile does not pose an effective threat to the 22nd regiment with titanium alloy armor on the city wall. Even the heavy steel armor of the city defense forces who are currently staying under the city wall to do reserve teams and ammunition transportation is enough to withstand the weak arrows falling from the sky. A very few unlucky ones will get their toes pricked.
After only a few rounds of throwing, the striker has already pushed to the 200-meter line.
The magic gun is very quiet when fired. It does not have the emotional contagion between comrades, and it also lacks the physical sense of killing. As long as the first shot is fired, the rest becomes easier.
Anyone who crosses the white line falls down like wheat. No matter how stupid you are, you know that the white line on the ground is the line of death. The refugee army kneels down crying and begging for mercy. The smarter ones quickly dig under the corpse. As for the logs, Stairs, who cares about those?
In the two camps on the city wall, only a few were killed and dozens injured in the earthquake just now, but the number was still over a thousand. With the cooperation of the refugees themselves, the five thousand people were killed in a short time.
The abrupt orcs couldn't continue to supervise the battle, because when they reached the position where they could stab the refugees who were pretending to be dead, they had to face a hail of bullets. They also had to find a way to carry the logs and stairs dropped by the refugees and get closer to the city wall. There was no air traffic control, right? Someone is pretending to be dead.
It is less than two hundred meters long and looks like a natural chasm.
No, you can't go that far at all. No matter how fast you run, you will turn into a corpse at the 150-meter line and flutter around to splash blood closer.
The 150-meter line is guarded by Heavy Rain Type II.
Because the orcs were marching too slowly, Lukou City had mobilized more than a hundred heavy rain type IIs these days, half of which were deployed on the south city wall.
A single door can fire one thousand rounds per minute, and the average can exceed 300 rounds per minute including reloading and energy exchange.
An average of 15,000 small artillery shells with a capacity of more than 30,000 joules are poured out in one minute. When deforming inelastically, each shot can cause a certain forced displacement of an object weighing several tons. Can it be withstood by the physical body and iron armor?
In the face of such firepower, any fighting spirit or shield is just like a joke. It can block it, but it can't stop it at all.
The essence of fighting spirit and shield is to use magic to eliminate damage. There are various forms. Some can try to deflect bullets, and some can resist certain physical attacks, but in essence they all use energy in exchange for protection.
Assuming that a strong person can achieve 10,000 joules of kinetic energy (equivalent to 5 cat-type bullets) with 0.1 mana-hour of magic power, and the mana reserve is 1 mana-hour (close to the level of a fourth-ring mage), then it is enough to withstand a large number of weapons in normal combat. The arrows missed straight shots and some sword thrusts, but the effect on large kinetic energy blunt weapons such as long-handled heavy hammers would be less effective.
But this level of protection on the current battlefield means that four to five 20mm small artillery shells can be taken away. Even if the soldiers on the city wall find that someone is particularly capable of carrying it, the end is already doomed. Under the fire of fire shooting, wait until the rainstorm and then turn back.
For human-shaped objects, there is no difference between being hit by 15mm or 20mm projectiles. Most of them draw a circle with the hit point as the center to disconnect the person. I don’t know whether it’s the bodily fluid factor, the impact point, or the individual enchantment that has a greater impact. Some people will be torn into rags, and some can barely be put together into human form with the upper and lower sections.
As for the mage hidden among the soldiers, it has no effect at all.
Moreover, mages are so easy to recognize. Even though some of them mixed in with the military formation are wearing armor, they are a bit too luxurious. They are obviously targets that should be fired first.
The 22nd Regiment used fewer Styx mortar shells in its previous attack to prevent heavy losses to its own army when the enemy charged.
The Styx series can effectively interfere with the spellcasting of mages. Although the duration of a single shot is relatively limited, the interference range is large enough. As long as other weapons kill quickly enough, it is not a flaw.
The continuous firing of the entire defense line lasted less than seven minutes, and the total number of deaths and feigned deaths exceeded 10,000.
These corpses or fake corpses were spread out over a width of just one hundred meters, even raising the road level.
The orc army is very strong, and they also retain some habits of tearing and eating meat, but this is not enough for them to maintain their will to fight in this hellish scene of slaughter.
The collapse gradually spread from the front to the rear. The orcs on both wings evacuated to both sides, and those in the rear followed suit with a glance at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in front.
At the same time that the orc army collapsed, the bullet density of the 22nd Regiment also decreased simultaneously, and the output stopped when no one dared to stand within the dead line.
This decision was made by the regiment command. On the one hand, facing this kind of war for the first time, it should be given some time to buffer. On the other hand, facing the army's shooting method of clinging to the death line, it also consumes a lot of ammunition and magic modules to restore the city wall. The reserves above also take time to prevent the orcs from being too strong and continuing to advance.
Whether the orcs can organize another attack, the 22nd Regiment doesn't know, so they can only treat it as a possibility.
Although they were notified of the early morning air raid, they were not able to direct the customization of tactics because General William himself could not guarantee the effectiveness of the air raid.
Be lenient when expecting the enemy and be strict when trying to resist them. Even though they have never fought orcs before, even if they are regarded as supermen, the customized tactics must support the 22nd Regiment to fight under various unexpected circumstances until the 21st Regiment has sufficient strength. time to react.
Perhaps they really felt the gap brought by the weapon system. After the orc forwards collapsed, they did not struggle anymore and directly broke camp and ran away. They even had time to execute the civilian husbands they brought with them before escaping.
