Chapter 42 Defending the City

As the orc boss's bloated body fell down in response to the gunshot, they were already halfway to victory in this defensive battle.

His ugly head had disappeared, and the previously invisible neck finally appeared. He fell forward with inertia and crushed a group of goblins to death. These goblins who were running and charging never expected that their boss would be injured and fall down in just a moment, and a group of them were crushed to death.

This damage, even if he was a reborn, he rarely saw the damage that could directly kill the opponent's generals. His lowest expectation was to rely on the entire musket team to shoot in turns to consume the orc boss to death.

Multiple rounds of muskets with a range of 200 and a long-range power of 45 can completely achieve the effect of concentrated fire and killing, but the price is to let the wild orcs rush to the bottom of the three-meter wall.

Ji Lin looked at the prompt box in front of him that the local leader had been killed. He felt that he might have to carefully evaluate the difficulty of this enemy attack.

It seems that it may not be that difficult?

Before he could react, the orc boss was shot in the head by Chang Heng. Could a general from the firepower era have such a terrifying killing effect? ​​He had indeed never used a general from a high era before. For ordinary lords like them, it was already difficult for generals to keep up with the pace of the times.

Ji Lin switched to the attribute interface to check, and the "Hunter" in Chang Heng's characteristics began to change vaguely.

'Tip: General Chang Heng. The characteristic "Hunter" has been promoted to a branch characteristic "Hunter", please pay attention to check'

The "Hunter" characteristic entry was erased, and the purple Hunter entry replaced the original Hunter entry

[Hunter (Epic)]: +30% search range, +10% range, +5% one-shot kill probability (only for the general himself)

[This hero has experienced sufficient firepower trials. He has his own unique understanding of reconnaissance and sniping, and will pass on his strict and effective experience to his troops. ]

The hunter characteristic combined with the mixed effect of the steam firepower era gave Chang Heng a new characteristic, because of the refreshed hero unit orc boss?

The tempering of the firepower era has made his characteristics change only one battle away.

He can only understand it this way.

He has never encountered such a situation. In his previous life, he was just a laggard who did not keep up with the first echelon.

It was already extremely difficult to fight in the same era, not to mention going to the dungeon of the next era.

After the orc boss was sniped, the remaining orcs immediately entered a state of low morale.

Bathed in the blood of their own people, they were not afraid, but fell into a state of rage because of the blood thrown away. After falling into a rage, they could ignore the impact of low morale.

The order for the musket team to fire freely was issued and passed along the defense line. Waves of white chimneys emerged from the city walls, rising and dissipating in the wind. Correspondingly, some people in the dense group of orcs in the distance must fall.

The light crossbow team waited anxiously for the order to fire. The range of the improved musket was 200, while the light crossbows only had a range of 100. They could not accurately judge the distance and had to wait.

Some of the wild orcs stopped a hundred meters before reaching the city wall, then grabbed a goblin and threw it directly towards the city wall. The half-man-high goblin fell heavily to the ground, twisted and broken his limbs and rolled on the ground, leaving a scream.

This seemingly venting action made Ji Lin's heart stop.

The wild orcs were throwers. They would grab everything they could use and throw it while walking.

There was no other protection for their own city wall. If a goblin was thrown up, the front line would be seriously disturbed.

He counted the wild orcs who stopped, there were ten of them. These muscle-brained orcs were not smart, but their excellent physical fitness made them excellent laborers and slaves. Only a few could learn the act of throwing.

These few were also extremely deadly in siege warfare.

Looking at the goblins that were used as ammunition and fell to the ground less than 50 meters away, he felt a little pain in his teeth. Of course, he was not feeling sorry for them, but if this thing could be smashed onto the city wall, it would cause considerable casualties to his soldiers.

The poor accuracy and sense of distance are the reasons why his soldiers have not suffered any casualties yet.

When he was clearing out the second-level wild orcs, he did not encounter such a thrower who could throw and had a little bit of brains. The threats of long-range units and melee units are completely different.

These militiamen do not have the ability to accurately judge the distance, but he does.

"Use muskets to snipe the wild orcs who are throwing first, and raise the angle of the light crossbow by 30... one-third, and prepare for the first wave of shooting."

Ji Lin issued the attack order sentence by sentence. The fast-running orcs had entered the light crossbow's projectile attack range. 30 degrees was stuck on his lips. He suddenly remembered that these people might not understand what 45 degrees was, so he changed to one-third of the explanation.

After the musketeers reloaded their ammunition, they aimed their crosshairs at the back row, throwing a goblin at every step.

The light crossbowmen raised their crossbows and began to shoot. The moment the crossbow arrows left the string, the lightweight arrows began to burn instantly without the need for a burning medium. The iron arrowheads were instantly heated and glowed dark red. The elemental power had already acted on the arrows, igniting, heating, and burning.

Looking at the rain of fire falling into the enemy group.

Ji Lin suddenly thought of a big problem.

After the iron arrowhead and the wooden arrow body hit the target after being heated at high temperature, the structural strength of the heated arrow shaft has been destroyed, just like those crackling wood in the fire, which will produce amazing fragmentation and killing effects. The fragmentation, the broken wood chips are like a handful of fine needles directly inserted into the bodies of other attackers nearby, making them roll all over the ground.

Arrows shot out in this way cannot be recovered.

His heart is bleeding.

This batch of iron crossbow arrows used up his last bit of resource reserves, and also made him consume the working hours of people who should have been working to make arrows. Now he can truly say that he has been promoted from a child with assets to a pauper.

This is not shooting arrows, but money.

In the configuration of musket ammunition, Changheng has the characteristics of a technical officer. He can configure dozens of kilograms of powder by himself. Making arrows is pure physical work. Even if a hero unit comes, he has to honestly cut the arrow shaft and grind the arrowhead, which requires a large number of villagers to work together.

Working hours are resources, and human labor is the abstraction of resources themselves.

Looking at the hobgoblins and goblins screaming in the arrows, he gradually felt better.

It's worth it, worth it.

He comforted himself in this way.

[Migrant Orc Mixed Gang: Goblins: 341, Hobgoblins: 107, Savage Orcs: 41]

The shooting effect of the first wave was impressive, and the killing effect was only worthy of their training level, reducing the number of goblins and hobgoblins by 10%. The losses of the Savage Orcs were almost all caused by the musketeers. Their large-caliber muskets could penetrate the bodies of the Savage Orcs with one shot, while the arrows used by the light crossbows required dozens of hits, and the precise point kills had already eliminated half of the Savage Orcs.

For a militia team, the cooperation with the musketeers was remarkable.

They could also listen to his command in combat, and no one shot arrows in advance.

Even though it was the first time they saw this terrifying monster.

Ji Lin pinched the stopwatch in his hand and calculated the position where the orcs would arrive after the next wave of reloading was completed.
