World Destroying Demonic Emperor

412: The Final Battle! To Win!

Riding on the griffin, Duke Turingtuo saw countless boulder strips piled up in the open space in front of the city wall of Fenglei Castle, one in the east and one in the west.

In the middle of the night yesterday, Turingtuo heard a report from a scout, and there was a strange noise in Fengleibao. He immediately ordered the scouts to investigate again.

After paying the price of hundreds of lives, the scouts reported that Sauron's army was transporting boulders to the battlefield outside the city wall, trying to create obstacles on the battlefield to prevent the army from attacking the city.

At that time, Turingtuo hesitated, should he send cavalry to stop Sauron?

The location where Sauron's army was operating was too close to the city wall of Fenglei Castle, completely within the attack range of all the artillery and trebuchets. There were too many cavalry sent, and they were all sent to die. There were fewer cavalry sent, and it didn't work, so they were still sent to death.

Moreover, it was difficult for Sauron to change anything in just a few hours.

Early this morning, Turingtuo and Zhili climbed up to take a look, and sure enough, hundreds of meters in front of Fengleibao's defense line, there were densely packed obstacles made of huge rocks everywhere.

The tallest one is no more than half the height of a person, and it is completely disorganized!

Looking down from the air while riding on a griffin beast, these boulder obstacles are also very sparse.

Xili laughed loudly and said, "Sauron is really at the end of his rope. A few stones are trying to stop my army of hundreds of thousands?"

He completely ignored these messy and sparse boulder obstacles, and he really seemed unstoppable.

And the arrow is on the string, so it has to be fired, time is not good for Xili!

Every day the time dragged on, someone might surrender to Sauron, and the night would be full of dreams.

The appearance of these boulder obstacles did not affect Shili's will to fight in the slightest, and the hundreds of thousands of troops still charged wildly!

...

Sauron stood on the top of the wall, feeling his feet trembling. Looking at the soldiers around them, they all turned blue.

Looking at hundreds of thousands of surging soldiers, it really seemed like an endless tide.

At this time, the originally solid and thick Fengleibao defense line seemed particularly fragile.

Taking a deep breath, Sauron looked behind him. Tens of thousands of troops have lined up on the ground behind the city wall.

The entire Tianshui City,

Sauron can use about 170,000 soldiers, of which 100,000 are placed on the Fengleibao defense line, and 100,000 will fight against Zhili's 400,000.

Of the 100,000 defenders, 30,000 were distributed on the city wall, including 15,000 rock bandits and 15,000 Suoshi city guards.

The remaining 70,000 are all in the open space of the barracks behind the city wall.

There are 10,000 Luanyang Revenge Army, 15,000 Rock Pirates Army, and 45,000 Southeast New Army.

The Southeast New Army was reorganized from the prisoners of the Zhiwei Southeast Army, and Sauron was most worried about this army.

Sure enough, the faces of the 45,000 southeast new troops turned pale and blue, and their bodies were even trembling slightly.

They must be full of fear, but also full of reverie.

After these people were captured by Sauron, they actually lived well. Their military pay doubled, their weapons and armor improved, and their daily food even improved a lot.

So they are grateful to Sauron, but what about loyalty? It is really hard to overestimate, especially when it comes to life and death, anything can happen.

On the contrary, Luan Yang's Revenge Army, with red eyes and ferocious faces, was full of desire to fight, and they wanted to wash away their shame.

Especially Tu Liyang, approached Sauron several times and asked him to arrange for Luan Yang's revenge army to take the lead.

From Sauron's point of view, Luan Yang's Revenge Army has good fighting will and average fighting power, so they can't take the lead.

Those who stick to the front line of the city wall can only be the most loyal and elite Suoshi City Guards, as well as the most ferocious Rock Bandit Legion!

As for the rock bandits, when they heard the tsunami-like shouts of the enemy outside, they were all trembling with excitement.

It's time to fight, it's time to kill, and there are still so many people.

So much fun, so much fun!

"Hahaha..." The rock bandits on the city wall had already started cutting their faces with knives, burning their fighting spirit.

The rock bandits under the city wall couldn't sit still at all, they let out strange screams, and began to lick the blade with their tongues, blood dripping from the licks.

"quack……"

"Woo woo woo..."

Seeing the rock bandits as excited as if it was a festival, the Southeast New Army couldn't help but relax a little.

One of the soldiers turned his head for a few glances, and found that they were all acquaintances, so he couldn't help saying to a fellow countryman next to him: "Actually, although the Marquis Sauron is a bit arrogant, he is still a good person, and the reorganization has not disrupted the situation." We, all of us are in this together."

...

"Fight to the death, the retreater dies!"

"Heavenly Punish Sauron!"

The charging Shili army, the front one has already entered the range of the artillery!

"Fire...fire...fire..."

Sauron gave an order!

"Boom boom boom boom!"

A series of loud bangs from hundreds of artillery pieces overwhelmed the tsunami-like shouts of the Shili army.

Then, hundreds of solid bullets shot out like black lightning!

At this time, there is no need to aim at all. The entire battlefield is on the flat ground between two mountains, with a width of only about four miles.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are densely packed, like swarms of ants, and they can hit with their eyes closed.

"Shua, Shua, Shua..."

Hundreds of solid shells rushed out hundreds of blood paths. Wherever he passed, all the bones flew and died unexpectedly.

One shell is the most and can kill dozens of people!

One round of shelling caused thousands of casualties.

However, for an army of 400,000 troops, this was nothing but a drop in the bucket, like splashes from a pond, which would soon disappear.

The preparation time for each round of artillery firing is really too long. Even if Sauron's artillery is proficient enough now, it still takes about six or seven minutes.

Wait until the breech-loading rapid-fire gun comes, and that will be the real gospel.

Sauron imagined in his mind that if there were hundreds of rear-loading rapid-fire guns, all of which would use self-propelled shells and add high explosives to succeed. That guarantees that these hundreds of thousands of people will be killed.

If you have a Maxim machine gun, you don't need too many, a hundred will do! Sauron can guarantee that these 400,000 people will be killed within a few hours.

It's a pity that Sauron doesn't have any of these!

Not to mention things like breech-loading rapid-fire guns and maxims, which he will never have in his lifetime, and high explosives, which will not be available for a long time.

At present, his only hope is that these boulder obstacle groups in front can be effective!

...

Hundreds of thousands of troops are still roaring and charging.

It was only two miles away from the Fengleibao defense line.

From here, the ground ahead is no longer flat.

Last night, after Sauron finished sleeping with Xiyan, his mind was clear, and he suddenly had an idea.

Therefore, he dispatched tens of thousands of troops and thousands of pack horses to transport the unused boulders outside the city wall for the construction of Fengleibao's defense line, and placed them randomly to create obstacles on the battlefield.

Placing these things has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it will affect the lethality of artillery and trebuchets, and it cannot completely stop the army of Si Li, but can only effectively delay it.

But what is most important to Sauron?

It's time!

The firing intervals of artillery and trebuchets are too long, so create obstacles to delay the enemy's speed and time.

Time is more precious than gold to Sauron.

Soon, the leading troops of the Zhili army had rushed within a mile, and the various obstacles here became more dense.

The soldiers carrying the siege ladder could still move freely and helplessly, but now they need to make a lot of twists and turns, and the speed has slowed down even more.

"Catapult, launch!"

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Hundreds of giant trebuchets were thrown violently.

This time, all the bombs used were primitive cluster bombs, and countless lead bullets and steel bullets were placed in hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder bags.

The huge gunpowder ball drew an arc in the air.

Fall into the ocean-like enemy army.

"Boom boom boom..."

Earth-shattering explosion!

That terrible picture appeared again!

As if a metallic storm had blown by, nearly a million steel balls and lead bullets exploded violently.

The whole area is completely empty!

Because of this area, boulder obstacles are placed everywhere. After countless steel pillars hit the top, it will cause ricochets to rebound and cause secondary damage.

A cloud of blood suddenly rose in the air.

After a long while, people got up one after another!

"Rush, rush, rush..."

The officer next to him yelled desperately!

Immediately, the soldiers covered in blood continued to charge forward.

Some slowed down, and some fell to the ground after rushing a few steps, and never got up again.

The countless troops behind were still rushing forward frantically.

But within 800 meters from the city wall, it was immediately blocked by countless boulder obstacles. It's like a huge wave hitting the reef, and then directly blocked it.

Suddenly, the charge formation of the entire army was in chaos!

...

Sauron's strategy is to pile up boulder obstacles within a distance of 800 meters to 150 meters from the city wall.

In this way, the enemy at a distance of 800 meters is hit with solid bullets.

Enemies within the range of 100 meters to 500 meters are hit with trebuchets.

Enemies within a distance of 150 meters are hit with artillery shells and scorpion catapults.

This kind of obstacle division tactic was originally Sauron's whimsical idea. He thought it might have a miraculous effect, but it was difficult to fundamentally change the situation of the battle.

However, I didn't expect it to play such a big role.

If the small number of people does not have a big impact, it is enough to shuttle directly between these obstacles.

But Zhili's hundreds of thousands of troops couldn't stop once they charged.

The front wants to stop, but the back keeps getting crowded. What's more, this is a siege army, and it needs to carry a siege ladder more than ten meters long.

All of a sudden, the entire army was completely stuck in these obstacle areas, not only slowed down, but also countless armies crowded into a group.

On the battlefield, time is extremely precious, especially for Sauron, every minute is like gold.

Because of his catapults, his cannons can fire once every six or seven minutes.

...

On the battlefield, the Shili army was clearly divided into three parts by Sauron.

In the first part, it has already penetrated within 150 meters, and has already attacked under the city wall. There are very few people in this part, only about 20,000 to 30,000 people.

The second part, being stuck in the 800-meter boulder obstacle, was very crowded, the speed was slow, and it was tens of thousands of people.

In the third part, 800 meters away from the city wall of Fengleibao, hundreds of thousands of people had completely slowed down, waiting for the troops in front to pass through the boulder obstacles.

The 800-meter boulder obstacle group is like a filter, reducing the number of enemies, and like a speed bump, buying Sauron the most precious time.

Soon, the second round of shelling by several hundred artillery pieces on the Fengleibao defense line was ready!

At this time, 20,000 to 30,000 people had rushed under the city wall.

"The scorpion trebuchet is ready, launch!" Sauron ordered.

Hundreds of small and medium-sized scorpion-type trebuchets were launched, and gunpowder balls weighing tens of kilograms were thrown out.

This kind of trebuchet is launched by elastic force, and it hits relatively close, just over a hundred meters. But the advantage lies in its small size and fast launch speed.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Hundreds of gunpowder balls flew more than 100 meters and smashed into the 20,000 to 30,000 troops rushing under the city wall.

"Boom boom boom..."

The violent explosion shot out countless steel ball lead bullets.

Thousands of lives were harvested.

Soon, the second round of shelling has been prepared!

However, Sauron did not use artillery shells to attack the 20,000 to 30,000 enemies under the city wall, but used solid shells to attack the enemy 800 meters away.

Because the enemies there are more crowded and can cause more crazy damage.

As for the 20,000 to 30,000 enemies under the city wall, just rush up!

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Hundreds of artillery pieces roared again!

Hundreds of solid iron balls, like lightning, flew through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and smashed towards the enemy 800 meters away!

Because of the blockage of the huge stone barrier in front, the army here is already overcrowded, and there are people everywhere!

After hundreds of iron balls smashed in!

"brush……"

Lively plowed hundreds of blood paths.

Sauron's bombardment caused unprecedented damage.

Countless enemies were smashed to pieces and died unexpectedly.

Even, because of the tragic death, people's expressions changed!

...

At this time, the army at the forefront of Zhili had already rushed under the city wall.

After two rounds of killing, only about 20,000 people rushed under the city wall, but the army of Zhili behind continued to pass through the obstacles and rushed under the city wall.

"Climb the wall, climb the wall!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

After a loud noise, hundreds of siege ladders were added to the city wall, and countless soldiers climbed up like ants.

For this war, Zhili even specially remodeled the siege ladders, half of which were welded with iron bars.

Although this kind of siege ladder will be very heavy and requires more than a dozen warriors to carry it, this kind of siege ladder is very strong and is not afraid of fire.

The leader on the siege ladder is wearing a huge fire shield.

One out of every three people is wearing a fireproof cloak!

"Bang bang bang..."

On the city wall, countless kerosene barrels were smashed down.

Then countless rockets shot down.

Suddenly, the burning ground under the entire city wall was burning.

"Ah... ah... ah..."

The soldiers without the fireproof cloak let out a terrifying scream once they were burned by the fire.

Struggling in the raging flames, soon there was no sound, and he fell to the ground and died!

"Climb, climb, climb..."

The elite Dragon Guards completely disregarded the horrible howls around them and the flames below, and climbed up crazily!

finally……

Under this kind of desperate madness, less than an hour into today's decisive battle, after paying the price of 50,000 to 60,000 casualties, the Xili army finally climbed up the wall of Fengleibao's defense line for the first time!

Fight, enter the most brutal hand-to-hand combat!

The 10,000 rock bandits on the city wall, like wild beasts, came up fighting and fighting.

...

At this moment, Sauron closed his eyes instead!

Although the cruelest battle had just begun, he could vaguely see that he should win this decisive battle!

And the main reason for winning was actually that unremarkable boulder obstacle group.

Slowing down the speed of the enemy and filtering the number of enemies made the whole battle enter a very subtle rhythm.

This boulder obstacle group divides the battlefield into three parts. It makes Sauron the most elite weapon, which can maximize the lethality.

The artillery hits the long range, the trebuchet hits the medium range, the scorpion trebuchet hits the short range, and the rock bandits fight hand to hand!

Once the battle enters this active rhythm, it really is about to win!
