On the east side of the position, an extraordinary person in charge of command yelled out the order:
"shoot!"
Behind each bunker, more than 5000 soldiers leaned out at the same time and pulled the trigger of the crossbow.
Since Renault purchased a large number of crossbows from his chamber of Commerce, the rose army has become a rare army equipped with crossbows.
"Buzz..."
The trembling sound of the crossbow string swept like a tide. A dark cloud rose from the position, crossed an arc in the air, and fell into the mammoth cavalry group more than 500 meters away.
This is a projectile.
Although the accuracy of throwing is very low, although the black Orc knights are all wearing heavy armor, and although the key parts of mammoths are covered with Chain Armor, the huge number of mammoths still causes a certain strike effect.
More than 30 mammoths were hit by crossbows and arrows. Their running speed slowed down immediately, or they fell to the ground suddenly. Some mammoths could not avoid it and bumped into each other.
With the dull sound of "bang bang", a little spray splashed in the black torrent.
However, the mammoth Knight''s loss is not big, they are still struggling.
Without the command of the officers, the soldiers immediately shook the handle of the ratchet winder to rewire the crossbow and load the crossbow according to the instructions of the instructors in the training.
Compared with the magic power crossbows used by the island guards, these crossbows only replace the magic power winder which can wind automatically with the ratchet winder which must be operated manually. Other structures are identical.
The magic winding device can stretch the crossbow string in less than 1 second and shoot once every 2 seconds, while the ratchet winding device needs more than 2 seconds to pull the crossbow string back to its original position and at least 4 seconds to complete a shot.
However, the ratchet crossbow is still an extremely advanced crossbow, and even the knowledgeable and extraordinary people praised its performance when they first came into contact with it.
"Buzz..."
The fear of the cavalry army''s falling is the chaos of the black mammoth army.
When the third black cloud fell, gulum said excitedly:
"under the crown, the black orcs are about to arrive at the first horse trap..."
Renault nodded, his eyes fixed on a piece of open space in the distance, with a look of expectation in his eyes.
In the sound of thunderous hooves, the mammoth herd just rushed here, the ground collapsed suddenly, exposing a ditch, and a large number of mammoth beasts fell into the ditch.
The sound of collision, wailing, and Howling was heard in the sky. People were tumbling everywhere, and the black torrent suddenly stagnated.
After the armored corps dug the trench, the soldiers made a special cover up.
They put branches on the trench, spread a layer of grass leaves, and finally spread a layer of soil on the grass leaves. After dressing up in this way, the trench is integrated with the ground and can''t be distinguished at all.
This simple trick made the black Orc cavalry suffer a huge loss.
This is also due to the air superiority of the rose army.
Because the three Gollum control the air supremacy, the black Orc''s eye does not dare to appear at all. The black skins know nothing about the layout of the rose army in Les village and what they did.
In the past, the magic eye wandered over the human army all day, and any action could not escape their eyes.
"Heavy machine gun fire!"
Seeing the Black Knights crowding in front of the trench, an officer of the island guard gave an order, and 40 heavy machine guns made a sharp whistling sound.
"Hiss Hissing... "
"Hiss Hissing... "
Dense bullets, like a Rainstorm on the black knight.
"Ding Ding Dang..."
In the sound of rain like explosion, black skin and mammoth''s armor were broken down by bullets, and countless blood flowers bloomed. Mammoth and black skin fell down like wheat in a sickle.
Within 10 seconds, the number of black skin''s casualties soared to 500, and the first trench became a dead zone.
…………
On the South and north sides of the position, the battle began.
The two armored battalions, which were ordered to attack, took the initiative to cross the first trench and rush to the black Orc infantry. The battalion commander of the first battalion, moss, and the battalion commander of the second battalion, bareheaded John, roared out the order respectively:
"Katyusha Chariot, prepare to shoot!"
Six Katyusha chariots in each armored battalion roared to the front and aimed Katyusha multi barrel rockets at the black Orc infantry.
The black skin on the other side seemed to notice something bad. Several black Orc officers roared and urged the infantry to spread out and stay away from each other.
However, these ideas are still in the black skin of the cold weapon era, and their reaction is too slow.
In other words, the black skins lacked the most basic knowledge of magic weapons. From the beginning of the attack, they were still using the "ancient" square array. When they saw the armored vehicles, the officers remembered some rumors and let the troops disperse in a hurry."Boom!"
After the huge roar, dozens of shadows were ejected from the rocket.
Then something amazing happened.
After these shells burst out of the bore, their shells split into two parts, and a large canopy of small steel balls scattered out. They dispersed automatically during the flight, covering a large space.
This is a special shell developed by the Institute of Rune for Katyusha rocket.
It''s also a super killer invented by Renault!
The structure of the shotgun shell is extremely peculiar. Its shell is two thin steel shells embedded together. More than 1000 small steel balls of different sizes and shapes are wrapped in the shell.
In the process of high-speed flight, under the action of air resistance, the steel shell will automatically disintegrate and fall off, exposing small steel balls, and relying on them to kill the enemy.
Each Katyusha chariot fired 24 shells with more than 25000 small steel balls. Six Katyusha chariots fired more than 150000 small steel balls in one round.
If there is one word to describe this terrible offensive, it is overwhelming.
After a breath, the ball storm officially came.
The whistling sound filled every inch of space, and a surprising number of steel balls hit the black Orc Infantry Corps.
"Ding Ding..."
"Bang Bang..."
"Bang Bang..."
"Crackling..."
150000 small steel balls played a magnificent percussion.
Although the steel ball is small in size, its power is also amazing due to its extremely fast speed.
Ordinary armor can''t stop them at all. All kinds of metal shields and wood shields in the hands of black infantry are pierced by steel balls, and all kinds of armor and wood armor on black infantry are pierced by steel balls.
If the steel ball hits the unprotected part, it will immediately be the result of meat rot and fracture. The steel ball penetrates the skin, goes deep into the muscles and viscera, and knocks out fatal cavities in the black skin.
At that moment, the two black infantry regiments with more than 3000 people were knocked down by nearly 2000 people, with a casualty rate of more than 60%.
It''s absolutely devastating.
The ground around the black skins was as if they had been gnawed by ten thousand dogs. There were potholes everywhere.
Renault was stunned by such a terrible killing effect.
