"Quick, follow up quickly, everyone is at your place." Tayan waved to the allied expeditionary forces behind him.
After experiencing a twisting battle, and then going deep into the hinterland of the desert, with a lot of money being showered with titles on one side, and bloody butcher knives on the other, the Fanos allies are now devoted to Chi Aotian.
It's extremely effective.
The Allied troops crouched and ran to Tayan, carrying standard longbows with a length of 1.8 meters in their hands.
Su Wen looked at it for a moment. Although Your Excellency Su Wen is the nominal supreme commander of the Allied Forces, when the Desert Empire replenishes its army, the current King's matrilineal tribe is the most powerful Kazakh tribe in the desert.
The top boy tripled the size of the Allied force. Tayan, under the pretext of ensuring his own safety, directly detached a squadron from the original Allied force as his own direct guard.
The senior officers of the expeditionary force all know that this is an excuse for His Excellency the High Priest to ensure safety? Tayan's body is estimated to have at least 400 kilograms of brute force by shaking it with one hand. The largest standard warhammer in the army was returned after playing with it for a few days.
Qu Jian is popular - it's too light; there is no need to chant instant cast at all
With more than a dozen advanced guardian spells, he can also summon four little devils and four sheep-headed monsters as his bodyguards at one go. With such terrifying combat power, even if the giant dragon comes, it is just a matter of wholeheartedly fulfilling the old guy's reputation for slaying dragons.
.Does this still require sending a squadron of soldiers to protect safety?
However, thinking of the possible consequences of not meeting Tayang's "little" request, all the officers, including Chi Aotian, Qu Jianhong, Su Wen, etc., tightly shut their mouths. They would rather offend a gentleman than offend a petty person.
Man, Tayan is not only a villain, but he always claims to be a super villain who will immediately avenge himself.
Tayan asked more than 600 Allied troops to build a new camp inside the camp. From then on, Tayan was always seen marching near the city of Bombay with allied knights in bright clothes like a dandy from Menglang.
In and out, from time to time he would bring a few Zoroastrian priests with him, and often mobilize some arrow feathers and other practical objects. However, from the time Tayan officially joined the expeditionary force to now, almost everything has been unexpected, and so have many senior officers.
No wonder.
Now, the fact that Tayan is directly in the hands of the Allied Forces is obviously related to the previous operations in Mumbai. But...how can the Allied soldiers use such a big thing as the standard longbow? The shortest standard longbow is 1.5 meters long. The average adult male,
It is difficult to lift this kind of bow flatly, let alone to continuously open the bow and shoot arrows. It is very difficult to select a qualified longbowman in the army. The strength of the Allied soldiers... It is absolutely impossible to shoot such a bow in one go.
What a strong soldier.
Could it be that Tayan would add heroism and other strengthening magic to hundreds of allies one by one? Would Tayan do such hard work? Didn't this guy secretly add tortoise cream, stimulants, etc. to the Allied troops' meals when they got up in the morning?
Something.
The mystery was soon revealed. The Allied soldiers ran to the crenel, added a V-shaped buckle to the middle of the longbow, opened the V-shaped buckle, stuck it on the crenellation of the city wall, and stepped on it with one foot.
on the crenel, from the back
Then he pulled out the long black arrow and put it on the bow string. He also stepped on the crenel with his other foot and worked hard with his hands and feet, like a big shrimp. With the help of his waist strength, the 50 kilogram long bow was pulled open with a creak.
A cold light flashed in Su Wen's eyes!
The scene in front of him reminded the old soldier of a historical allusion. The ancient Qin Empire before the military sage Han Xin had a super-equivalent long-range attack weapon-the crossbow. It is said that an adult man with a height of 1.75 meters can attack
One minute* shoots three crossbow arrows with a range of more than 600 meters. Although the rate of fire is much different from the 10 to 12 arrows per minute of an ordinary longbow, the range is comparable to that of the prairie elves, allowing this army to sweep through six countries in several years.
country.
If the archery methods used by the Allied forces in front of them were not related to crossbows, Su Wen would not believe it even if he died.
In addition, the appearance of the arrows also caught Su Wen's attention. There was a bunch of leather bag-like things tied to the front ends of the arrows. They looked a bit like rockets used to attack enemy camps, but they were obviously larger than rockets.
The drum seemed to be covered in water. Su Wen couldn't guess what was inside for a while.
Tayang is becoming more and more mysterious. Recently, Su Wen often has the idea of lifting Tayang's black robe to see what is hidden under this guy's black robe.
"Shoot! Shoot these stupid guys to death. They have come all the way here to die, and I haven't helped them yet." Tayan stood on the city wall and chattered like a black crow, laughing strangely.
Four to five hundred arrows flew toward the Cyclops with a whirring sound. The giants blocked their eyes with one hand and took off a special iron shield from their waists with the other hand to protect the vital points in front of them.
The Allies' accuracy was poor. The impact point of more than 400 arrows ranged from 100 meters to 300 meters away. Only a few giants were unfortunately hit by arrows. They screamed strangely and pulled the arrows out of their bodies with their hands.
Then he spit into the palm of his hand and rub it randomly on the wound. This is the customary way of disinfection among the giants.
Something unexpected happened to everyone. Wherever these arrow feathers went, streams of very viscous black liquid flowed out. The liquid splashed everywhere, and soon after it fell, it started to burn!
Then, clouds of acrid black smoke rose from the burning place.
The Cyclops's thick nerves could grit his teeth to endure ordinary physical trauma. Now, a little bit of black liquid was burning down against the skin, and the pain was heartbreaking.
Several giants who had been hit by arrows screamed and rubbed their skin hard with their hands, trying to put out the fire, but the black liquid clung to their skin and burned. The giants next to them were surprised and didn't care.
No more attacking the city wall, tear open the water naan sewn with half a piece of cowhide, and pour the water inside over the flames. The flames will not go out at all, and even flow around with the water, and wherever they go, there will be another ball of flames.
Rising suddenly.
The second, third, fourth, and fifth rounds of arrow rain were shot flat. All the giants were covered. The distance of 100 to 250 meters in front of the city wall instantly turned into a sea of fire, and 60 cyclops opened their mouths.
A scream of grief, anger and pain came out of his mouth, and a slap the size of a pot lid
Beating all over, rolling on the spot... The black liquid, red flames, and pungent smoke were not affected at all. Just two or three minutes later, the loud cries in the open field were swallowed up by the flames, leaving only
Dozens of huge burning skeletons and a pungent stench...
All soldiers on both sides of the war, including the archery allies, showed symptoms of endocrine disorders. Their eyes were straight, their mouths were dry, and they didn't know what to say.
60 adult Cyclops... An army with such combat power is enough to make any military force look at it with admiration.
According to unofficial records, an adult Cyclops can throw 1,000 fist-sized stones in three minutes, smashing a group of 6-meter-tall mammoths into qualified bone meal dumpling fillings.
Even if 10 fire dragons come, even if all 10 dragons use forbidden spells or large dragon breath balls, it is impossible to bury 60 Cyclops in just a few minutes. The giants will definitely dodge and use
The rays emitted from the one eye and the stones thrown from the hand left an unforgettable memory for the dragons. In the end, who would win might be the winner.
"Boy Qu, if you don't attack now, are you still waiting for me to feed you?" Tayang summoned four sheep-headed monsters, shook the sharp-beaked war hammer in his hand, and a ball of white light fluttered under his feet, and from the city wall
When he jumped down, he was like a poor diver, sending splashes flying in all directions - Tayang loves beauty, so the colors of the splashes he splashed were just more delicate.
There is no need for heavy hammers to sound the drum. Qu Jianhong, who is standing on the turret of the city gate looking for opportunities, is certainly not an idiot: Now a sea of fire separates the enemy siege troops from the main army. Even if the enemy commander reacts quickly and wants to rescue, he must start from
Detour on both sides - attack under the city wall 5
More than 00 meters, at such a long distance, at least half of the reinforcements will fall under the attack of the soldiers on the city wall. It is still unclear whether they can be rescued. There must be more people coming in than rescued. Now, Commander Fanos has already
Caught in a dilemma.
Time was running out, Qu Jianhong ordered the camel knights to move out of the city gate, and led the heavy knights of the two sub-dragon beasts, the sand lizard and the earth dragon, to rush out from the east gate, like a red iron chopstick for the stove, clinging to
It hit the south city wall and the sea of fire and plunged straight into it!
Most of the soldiers of the Thirteenth Legion in the Eastern Theater of Fanos were still in siege mode. They were oppressed by the sea of fire and retreated step by step towards the city wall, one after another. Yamamoto Erbai, the commander of the legion, opened it in Qu Jianhong
The East City Gate had noticed something was wrong before and immediately ordered to adjust the direction of defense...
...It's a pity... Above the head is the overwhelming falling stones and golden juice, and behind it is the fire that is constantly devouring the body. There are thousands of people, and hundreds of people are on the front line of the siege, supervising the formation, and the ants' nest is watered by boiling water.
What, what kind of chaos is the Thirteenth Army now? How can we expect to enforce orders and prohibitions?
No matter how brave orc warriors and orc warriors are, no matter how brave and tough they are, they are willing to accept death... When the right time, place and people are all defeated, it is impossible to compete with the sub-dragon beast! What's more, most of the warriors have not even had time to form a group.
The battle formation has been submerged by the wave of steel!
Qu Jianhong, who had long been trained by Chi Aotian and Tayang to be ruthless, even put the sand lizard knights at the end to clean up the battlefield. The broom troops composed of the sand lizards' huge claws swept all the way, and in less than a minute,
The moans that were everywhere on the battlefield miraculously disappeared, replaced by pitch-black corpses...
The total time from the siege battle to the annihilation of the Thirteenth Army was only one hour and forty minutes. None of the 1,326 officers below the legion commander and 8,630 ordinary soldiers were spared, and all were killed. The legion commander and ten thousand-man commanders
The head and helmet were chopped off by the cleaning team with Damascus scimitars, and then hung high on the turret of the Vatican City.
Soaring far in the sky, several dragon knights of Fanos watched helplessly as their elite troops were wiped out in one fell swoop. They used to say that they were beyond their reach, but now the distance is only a slight vibration of the dragon's wings, but they must also say that they can't help.
——Even if all four dragon knights invest, they are destined to be unable to save the legion under the city wall. Above the city wall is the sphere of influence of the expeditionary force. In the melee between the dragon knights, there may be elven archers to inflict Fanos' wounds.
Tear it wider.
The two commanders, Menton and Norton, who were 800 meters away, both saw an intangible look of regret in each other's eyes.
Originally, they thought that they would devote the elite troops directly under Fanos to attack the city of Vatican City in one fell swoop. Even if they were driven down in the end, their morale would be greatly boosted. Unexpectedly, the result was just the opposite. The two commanders could see it on each other's faces.
Helpless, you can imagine the expressions of ordinary soldiers. If we had known that the defense of Vatican City was so strong, and if we had known that Vatican City's offensive and defensive transitions could be so fast, why bother sending elite troops up there?
Knowing clearly that there is no way to defeat the wolf, there is no point in throwing his own child up. His Majesty the Pope has acquiesced in using the Holy See Legion as the main combat force in the early stages of the siege, and the blood of the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force will be unleashed... Why bother...
The fire in front of them burned for a full 20 minutes before gradually extinguishing. Neither of the two commanders could figure out why the fire was so durable. Out of necessary caution, they mobilized 3,000 people to dig out the earth where the fire had burned.
Covered everything, and then transferred the water dragon team used to extinguish the fire in the military camp. Norton believed that the main reason why the fire could not be put out just now was that there was too little water. He transferred 40 water dragons, with the Fanshui River behind him, it should be about the same.
Laura, the Zoroastrian fire priest who was watching the battle in the corner tower of the city wall, noticed something.
The Elder's brows were involuntarily drawn together - during the period when Zoroastrianism was most popular, towering Zoroastrian churches were spread all over the Frozen Continent and the Eminor Continent. Why did His Majesty the Fire God have a special fondness for the Holy Desert Empire?
The main altar of Zoroastrianism is located in the city of Mumbai... This secret is only known to the highest core level of Zoroastrianism.
In the early stage of the War between Gods and Demons, the area where the Holy Desert Empire was located was originally a fertile and fertile land with beautiful water. It was no worse than today's Plain of Discourse. In the later period of the War between Gods and Demons, the three great swords were forged under the Temple of Creation, and they were different from the alien ones.
The gods of space meet here to fight to the death.
In that war, nearly a million lives were lost here, and tens of thousands of gods died on the east coast of Eminor. The black blood flowing from the gods of other worlds was as thick as 20 centimeters. From then on, the ancient
No plants grew on the battlefield. Later, after millions of years of transformation, the ancient battlefield turned into a desert, and the blood left by the gods seeped into the ground.
The reason why His Majesty the Fire Temple chose Bombay City as his main temple is for two purposes. One is to use his prestige to suppress the lonely souls with extremely strong mental power under the desert; secondly, His Majesty the Fire Temple uses divine power to connect
With the black bloodline left by the ancient gods, each high-level fire elf guards a fire pillar in the Fire Worship Square, burning these bloodlines as much as possible to avoid future troubles.
But...how did ZTE hero Tayan know this secret? Laura was not sure whether it was the Chief Priest Adam Ping who revealed the information.
In fact, the high priest Adam Ping was wrongly accused - either because he did not do anything or because he did not know. When Adam Ping took over as the high priest, he was only 14 years old and had not had time to access this part of the historical data. Besides, with Tayan's qualifications
, do you still need someone to reveal such historical information? It’s pure nonsense!
In the winter of the sixth year of the Magic Calendar, Tayan rockets and the Tayan step-shooting method, known as the strongest defenders of the city, were officially recorded in the history of the War of the Gods.
However, it is a pity that the recipe and production method of the Tayan rocket have not been handed down. According to speculations by knowledgeable people, the raw materials required for a standard Tayan rocket are roughly as follows: a standard longbow arrow feather, which is specially produced in the sacred desert area.
A small amount of demon blood, a small amount of dried wolf dung, and self-igniting powder
A small amount, a sheep urine bubble. In principle, it should be good at all. But in practice, it is surprisingly difficult to make. Most of the time, the self-igniting powder will immediately burst into flames as soon as it is stirred into the demon's blood. Occasionally, it is successfully made, but
After being fired, most rockets cannot burn automatically.
Although the Tayan rocket was lost, the blood of gods and demons has since been classified as a special war material. Since its introduction, the price has only risen. In just 12 months, it soared three times from 3.96 gold coins per liter to 5.40 gold coins per liter.
The annual gross national income of the Holy Desert Empire is growing at a rate of 120%. The hateful Holy Desert Empire still complains that the price is not in line with other time and space. It really wants to do whatever it wants.
On the other hand, never forget the man who dug the well! The desert people who had made a fortune were grateful to Bader, and every household carved a statue of a black-robed priest out of the most expensive sandalwood. From then on, the incense was filled with people, and they were comparable to those of the God of Fire——
Of course, this is all for later.
The total disappearance of the Thirteenth Legion does not mean that the offensive and defensive battle of Vatican City is over, nor does it achieve the strategic goal of His Majesty the Pope.
Starting from March 25, the winter of the 6th year of the Magic Calendar, to January 4, the spring of the 7th Year of the Magic Calendar, the attack and defense of Vatican City lasted for ten days. During these 10 days, Lord Norton invested a total of 17 legions.
In addition to the annihilation of the 13th legion, the five legions of instructors, two legions of Fanos and one legion of the Sweat Blood Mercenary Group that participated in the attack suffered more than half of their casualties and had to retreat to the second line. The remaining eight legions barely maintained their combat effectiveness.
During the ten-day war, a total of 63,983 soldiers below the commander of the army were killed, and 56,392 soldiers were injured. The main reason why the number of killed in action was higher than that of injured soldiers was that on the second day of the siege, a windless and moonless night, the tower
Pastor Yang used several leaders of the Skeleton Army as media to raise the issue.
A mysterious ritual was performed to guide the black liquid from the skeleton officer's body to dissolve into the gold juice. Once anyone is sticky with this new formula of gold juice, they will immediately become unconscious and attack all moving objects in front of them crazily.
A large number of Fanos siege soldiers eventually died under the sword of their own people.
In order to prevent this secret from leaking out, Tayan prepared hundreds of bags of wolf dung. While the billowing smoke obscured their vision, it also made most soldiers lose their accurate judgment. Even if they survived, most of them could not remember clearly what happened under the city wall.
What.
In order to deal with the mountains of corpses under the city wall and to avoid a large-scale plague, with the tacit approval of the Fanos Alliance army, the expeditionary army recruited civilians to dig a canal 4 meters wide and 2 meters deep, connecting the upstream and downstream of the Fanshui River.
, drawing river water to wash away all the corpses, blood and other war garbage.
Every winter, the Fanshui River is in a dry season. When winter ends and spring comes, the ice in the upper reaches melts, and the lower reaches of the Fanshui River will experience freezing floods.
In the spring of the seventh year of the Magic Calendar, the residents of the lower reaches of the Brahma River were surprised to find that the Brahma River, which was supposed to be in the dry season, suddenly swelled, and the dark red river flowed for a full month before gradually returning to its original color. That winter, the Brahma River
There was no cold flood in Shuihe, but... there was a flesh flood consisting of tens of thousands of human corpses...
At that time, Lord Menton, the deputy commander of Fanos, once complained privately: "This is not an siege, it is simply stuffing meat into a meat grinder..."
Lord Monton would not have thought that his words would be truly recorded by historians, and that the attack and defense of Vatican City would also be called the "Meat Grinder War in Vatican City" in history.
Similarly, His Excellency the black-robed priest Tayan, who was the most active commander in this war, was called the "Meat Grinder General" by later generations.
I can’t tell the master:
