Chapter 575

Chapter 575 Desert People

Time passed second by second.

Luo Ji, who had entered a state of rest again, signaled the soldiers under his command to replenish some water.

He really needed to capture that city in one go this time.

Otherwise, they would be exposed to the desert for a long time.

They were constantly being baked by the poisonous sun.

The fresh water they carried with them probably would not last too long.

The efficiency of the scouts was very high.

They soon returned with the basic intelligence they had confirmed.

As far as is currently known, the height of the city wall is visually about 10 meters.

3 ordinary ballistae for defending the city were placed on the city wall.

Luo Ji breathed a huge sigh of relief after receiving this information.

A 10 meter high city wall and 3 city defense ballistae?

Facing this configuration, he, who brought two Elephantmen units, should be able to take it down easily!

Luo Ji, who already knew what to do, immediately issued an order.

“Pass down the order. The whole army advance and prepare to attack the city!”

Under the scorching sun, the Elephantman’s 10 meter tall giant body was like a small mountain, looking exceptionally majestic.

It caused a wave of panic among the enemy city defense soldiers.

“Enemy attack, enemy attack! It’s beastmen!!”

The alarm bell mounted on the wall was quickly rung.

At this time, if Luo Ji could hear the shouts of these soldiers, he would definitely feel a bit surprised.

These soldiers recognized beastmen. That meant this Liu Tao had been attacked by players of the beastmen civilization.

As for whether it was Li Yuanjie who had already died at his hands, that was unknown.

After all, there was more than one beastmen civilization.

At the same time, the other party actually did not perish when facing the attack of the beastmen civilization.

Whether it was because his own strength was good.

Or whether it was with the help of the geographical advantage of the desert area.

Being able to withstand the invasion of the beastmen civilization could already explain many problems in itself.

At this moment, Luo Ji, who was riding on the back of his horse and holding binoculars, was wondering about another thing.

That was, facing his invasion, the other party actually did not light the signal fire to send a signal.

As his thoughts shifted, Luo Ji’s expression froze for a moment, and then he showed a trace of relief.

This is a desert.

Resources are scarce!

And there are quite a lot of materials needed to prepare signal fire.

It’s not surprising that this Long Taojia couldn’t make it.

Undoubtedly, this was a good thing for Luo Ji.

Because it meant that the information transmission speed in this world was relatively slow.

It gave him more ample time to attack.

One on the left and one on the right.

Luo Ji directly placed two Elephantman Slingers on the two wings of the army formation.

The purpose was to disperse the enemy’s firepower.

The formation in the middle was led by the thick-skinned Minotaur infantry.

The Kobold Halberdiers followed.

The Red Fox Archers and Goblin Crossbowmen followed further behind as long-range units.

As for the Wolf Riders who had no use for the time being in the siege battle.

Luo Ji placed them on the outskirts of the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity.

Once they entered the range, the opposite city defense ballistae fired decisively.

The target of the city defense ballistae was indeed the two Elephantman Slingers in Luo Ji’s siege troops.

The passionate attack horn was constantly being blown.

According to the Elephantman’s body, they could last for a long time even when facing the Triple-bow Ballista.

What did it matter facing 3 ordinary city defense ballistae now?

The distance from the enemy’s city wall was narrowing step by step.

At this moment, something that surprised Luo Ji slightly happened.

The opposite city gate opened, and the other party actually chose to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the attack!

What was the other party planning?

Before Luo Ji could think much, a burst of elephant trumpeting came from the desert city opposite!

5 elephants actually walked out of that desert city!

“Damn! There are elephants in the desert?!”

He was not particularly knowledgeable about this aspect.

Seeing an animal like an elephant in the desert really made him stunned for a moment.

However, the fact was that there were indeed elephants in the desert.

In the real world, desert elephants are a subspecies of African elephants…

Of course, Luo Ji did not know this information.

But he had one strength, which was being used to accepting facts.

As long as the facts were before his eyes, he would quickly choose to accept them.

He just treated these War Elephant soldiers as special units in the desert area.

Compared to mammoths, these desert elephants were clearly smaller.

But that also depended on who they were compared with.

Standing in front of the infantry units, those war elephants were still giants.

And there was a wooden box mounted on the back of the war elephant.

There were 4 soldiers in the wooden box.

One soldier was responsible for commanding the war elephant.

The other 3 soldiers were using bows and arrows to assist in the battle.

The appearance of these 5 War Elephant soldiers brought a lot of pressure to Luo Ji.

And following behind the 5 War Elephant soldiers, a large number of Camel Cavalry killed their way out of the city!

Luo Ji was not too surprised by this special unit.

It felt like the standard configuration of the desert people.

In some games he played before, they also often appeared.

Therefore, he was still relatively familiar with this unit.

A lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

From this sentence, it was enough to see that the size of a camel was taller and larger than a war horse.

What was even more fatal was that these cavalrymen riding on camels were actually all wearing heavy armor!

This was actually a very luxurious heavy cavalry.

This configuration was clearly intended to exert the physical advantage of camels in the desert.

From beginning to end, it exuded an aura of being difficult to deal with.

The appearance of the Camel Cavalry made Liaoyuan Huo (Red Hare) under Luo Ji’s seat snort several times.

The horse’s hooves frequently stepped in the sand, and the mood seemed a bit anxious.

Luo Ji was clear about this.

Camel Cavalry had an innate advantage.

That was to counter ordinary cavalry.

The reason was that the stench emitted from the camel would scare the war horses.

This already belonged to species countering.

Because Liaoyuan Huo was a precious horse, its performance was not bad.

Although it was not scared, it also looked very anxious.

Fortunately, he did not bring conventional cavalry to the expedition this time.

Otherwise, he would have to lose half of it before the fight started.

But even so, Luo Ji already felt unlucky enough.

As expected, extreme prosperity must decline!

Take a deep breath and adjust his mentality.

Luo Ji’s mind quickly calmed down.

The advantage of his beastmen army was to face them head-on!

The opposite side now took the initiative to come out to meet the attack. How could he have any reason to be a coward?

The sound of the attack horn became even more passionate.

With the constant approach of the other party.

Luo Ji waved his hand and saw the moment the other party entered the range.

The 500 Goblin Crossbowmen who were ready to go fired together!

The power of technology gave these desert people a heavy blow!

It also boosted the morale of his side.

After a round of volley fire, the Goblin Crossbowmen quickly retreated to the very back of the army formation.

The Red Fox Archers began to fire arrows frantically to suppress the enemy formation.

Facing such a formation, the archer units of the desert people on the opposite side also returned the favor without any hesitation.

Under this round after round of mutual suppression of arrow rain.

The armies of both sides quickly collided together.

A slaughter officially kicked off at this moment!
