Chapter 492 Attack and Defense of the Fortress (Part 1)

After the giant gate crashed down, the wide-open metal gate of the fortress was also re-closed, with streamers shining on it, apparently powerful defensive magic had been applied.

This sudden turn of events made the soldiers of the Holy Night Army, who were filled with murderous aura, stunned.

Then, looking at the completely closed city gate and the surrounding towering city walls, the soldiers of the Holy Night Army realized that they had obviously fallen into a trap.

All of a sudden, in the huge Urn City, the army of the Holy Night was scattered, and it suddenly became a mess.

"Don't panic! The mixed magician brigade will attack the gate leading to the inside of the fortress with all its strength. As long as we successfully rush in, we will still be able to kill the opponent without leaving a piece of armor!"

The commander on the tall horse was the first to react, and waved his hand: "Other soldiers form a shield formation, ready to rush in at any time. Every cavalry mount has two reserve shields hanging on it!"

Hearing the commander's order, the chaotic army formation suddenly became orderly again.

The soldiers began to quickly remove their shields to adjust their formation under the command of their respective captains, and many magicians also began to chant spells, pointing their staffs at the gate inside the fortress.

After the initial panic, all the faces of the soldiers of the Holy Night Army were filled with the ferociousness of a trapped beast, and a strong murderous aura also spread out.

It is not difficult to see from this that this is indeed a very well-trained army.

However, just as the mages were chanting their incantations, the soldiers had just picked up their shields and hadn't finished forming yet.

On the originally empty ground, a large number of red and orange magic circles suddenly emerged out of thin air, and the fire magic energy particles in the air became extremely manic.

Those arranged magic traps were launched.

boom! boom! boom!

Accompanied by bursts of deafening explosions, dazzling flames shot into the sky, and the inside of the Urn City was once again in chaos.

Layer after layer of scorching air waves oscillated, like terrifying fire-type monsters, tumbling and running wildly around the raging fire.

Immediately, many Holy Night Army soldiers who were caught off guard were directly thrown into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground like a cracked iron can.

And those magicians of the Holy Night Army who were concentrating on casting spells were blown up and down, their flesh and blood were hard to distinguish, and they completely lost their fighting ability almost instantly.

During the wild dance of the flame storm, the screams of soldiers, the neighing of horses, the cracking of bricks, and the futile orders of commanders were all covered by the earth-shattering explosions, which made people's ears buzzing.

At this point, the entire Urn City had been engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and while black smoke rose everywhere, a smell of burnt smoke permeated the air.

Immediately afterwards, under the order of Bai Lao, the ambush soldiers of the Lengyan Army who had already ambushed on the towering city wall of Wengcheng appeared from all directions, and the sound of singing and bow and arrow began to sound in an endless stream.

Not long after, sharp arrows mixed with magic such as wind blades, fireballs, and earth guns descended from the sky, forming a deadly net and sending the remaining opponents an invitation to the second wave of death.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao, who was hidden under the cloak, gently rubbed his quivering ears and nodded in satisfaction.

After these two waves of fierce attacks, the Holy Night Army, who was caught off guard, broke into the legion, basically unable to recover.

"Leng Yan's bastards, if you want to destroy this general, I'm afraid it will not be so easy!"

Hearing a roar, three powerful figures of Tier 4 were ejected straight out of the urn city, and then landed steadily on the wall of the urn city which was nearly fifteen meters high.

For these commanders of the Holy Night Army, who were able to fight against a thousand with one enemy, the blocking buffer barrier obviously had no effect.

Almost at the same moment, another figure of a strong man of the third-order magic system of six paths jumped up from the chaotic camp of the Holy Night Army and began to cast spells in the air.

Accompanied by sharp blades piercing the air and interlacing with dazzling attack magic from various departments, the cold flame archers and magicians ambushing on the city wall also began to fall down like a piece of wheat in an instant.

"A battle of trapped beasts?"

Seeing this, Lei Xiao frowned, and immediately nodded to Hu Zhang and Hong Ye who were on standby.

"Hahaha, don't underestimate this general, I'm waiting for the nine Holy Night powerhouses, and I can still kill you bastards all by yourself!"

On the city wall, I saw the commander of the Holy Night Army who had just jumped up and was at the level of a fourth-tier senior expert. His eyes were full of murderous intent. While waving his battle ax, he knocked down a soldier of the Lengyan Army who had no time to dodge, while grinning ferociously road.

And beside him, the two lieutenants Sheng Ye who were also at the fourth level were also full of faces, and they kept waving the sharp blades in their hands, bringing out shocking columns of warm blood.

For a moment, the three fourth-tier powerhouses of the Holy Night Army were like a giant harvester, completely unstoppable.

Until they stood in front of a burly figure and a slender figure.

I saw a huge silver light curtain formed by swinging a two-handed sword, and several thin silver-white lines left by the small claws piercing the air, flashing past in the scorching air.

The grinning laughter of the commander of the Holy Night Army stopped abruptly, and he fell straight down in a pool of blood together with a lieutenant next to him. The two pairs of muddy pupils that were slowly dilated were full of astonishment and disbelief.

"Fifth... fifth-order powerhouse?!"

Seeing the two people who were instantly killed, and the other lieutenant general who was still dripping blood from his blade, he was terrified, and he just uttered a few words with difficulty, and was cut down by the giant blade that struck again. On the ground, there was no life at once.

Reflected in the bright red flowing from the side of the corpse, it was the proud and upright figures of Knotweed and Hongye.

This extremely exciting scene caused the Lengyan army on the city wall to burst into cheers, and launched a fierce offensive again.

Under the aim of two thousand longbows, the six third-tier holy night magic powerhouses who just lifted into the air immediately became living targets, and were soon shot into hedgehogs by the swarming arrows, and fell back into the sea of ​​flames below. middle.

After that, a large amount of arrow magic mixed with the sound of fierce wind, shot into the Urn City again, setting off a new bloody storm.

At the same time, it also completely defeated the fighting spirit of the remaining Holy Night Army.

At this point, the intruding Holy Night Army completely lost its threat.

In other words, the distance is completely annihilated, and there is only a matter of time left.

"The catching of the turtle in the urn was completed, and it was smoother than I imagined."

Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly at Hu Zhang and Hong Ye who had already returned to him, and signaled them to follow him back to the archery tower on the front wall just now.

Judging from the current situation, the first step of planning has been successfully completed.

And the two small fortresses standing still on the mountainside also contained a legion each.

Then the next target would naturally be the other two holy night legions approaching the city.

In the process of advancing, Lei Xiao's expression was serious, and he slowly took a deep breath of the bloody air filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

"The magic trap laid in advance in the Urn City just now obviously played a very critical role. It is almost no different from high-explosive landmines, and perhaps even better."

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, thinking to himself: "This point will undoubtedly be a great inspiration for the large-scale battles I face in the future."

As Lei Xiao thought about it, he had already returned to the archery tower just now.

Lei Xiao looked down from a high position and noticed further.

Since the catching of the turtle in the urn just now was extremely sudden, there was no time left for the other Holy Night Army to react.

Therefore, the two holy night legions under the fortress, which were originally in a tight formation, were obviously in a state of confusion and were in a state of bewilderment.

Looking at the re-closed city gate, as well as the sound of explosions and billowing smoke from the fortress, even the soldiers at the lowest level clearly realized that the intruding army who fell into the trap was probably in danger.

"Although I can't see the reaction of the coach Shengye, you can imagine that there must be a very wonderful expression on that surprised and annoyed face?"

Lei Xiao looked down at the panicking Holy Night army below the city, raised his eyebrows and said in his heart: "I'm afraid that the Holy Night commander would never have imagined that the perfect fortress strategy plan that was originally carefully deployed has not only been easily broken by me, but also by me. Against the army."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

Suddenly, a series of rapid and high-pitched horns sounded from the Holy Night Army, which was at the rear.

This is the signal that the enemy is preparing to attack.

"It seems that the angry head of the Holy Night Army is obviously determined to attack the city."

Lei Xiao's face was serious, and he nodded to Hong Ye and the others, signaling his subordinates to follow the plan and start preparing for the next step.

Not long after, Bai Lao and Ai Lier rushed over together.

Through Bai Lao's description, Lei Xiao learned about it.

Our long-range force that was ambushing in the urn just now, a brigade of magicians and two brigades of archers, have all been transferred back to the front wall for defense.

There is also a heavy infantry brigade responsible for protection, which is also in place.

As for the remaining enemy troops in the Wengcheng, they have been handed over to the melee troops led by Burt, and are undergoing the final elimination.

"Understood, the next part must be the most tragic confrontation."

After listening to our latest news, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and looked towards the city wall.

I saw that standing at the front of the battlements was a row of heavy infantrymen holding heavy shields and wearing heavy armor.

On the armor and large shields of these heavy infantry, there are faint magic streamers flickering, obviously blessed with anti-magic spells.

"This kind of buff spell can only be released by holy light priests, and it can provide a considerable protective effect within a certain period of time."

Lei Xiao glanced over the burly bodies of the heavy infantry one by one, and nodded thoughtfully.

"However, due to the limited equipment level of these soldiers themselves, coupled with the low level of spells, they cannot compete with the elite subordinates of the territory with all third-level equipment."

"Having said that, besides Jubai, I don't currently have any priest-like professions under my command, so I don't know much about these buff spells."

"As for Ye Cang, who is a dark healer or a dark priest, he has completely abandoned buff spells and converted them into powerful physical abilities and the ability to apply terrifying abnormal states."

"I hope that when the mansion is upgraded and the population expands next time, we can recruit a team of priests who are good at healing and applying buffs."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's eyes moved, and fell on a row of archers behind the heavy infantry.

I saw these archers whose quiver was full of feather arrows, all of them were on the string, obviously ready for battle.

Behind the archers, there was another row of heavy infantry with their shields raised, and this cycle went on and on, making this nearly 3,000-strong team almost fill most of the city wall and all the towering archery towers.

Of course, there is still a lot of space left, which is naturally used for the hidden magic cannon.

As for the magicians of that brigade, they were divided into two parts.

Except for the gunners of the three squadrons, the rest of the magicians and some of the priests led by Jubai were responsible for supplying magic power to the buffer barrier in the hidden place behind the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

In this way, it is undoubtedly possible to enhance the survivability of the soldiers defending the fortress to the maximum extent.

After all, according to Bai Lao, the more magic power supplied to the buffer barrier, the stronger the ability to counteract attacks.

As for the giant gates of the fortress and the giant gates as the second insurance, they are all made of special anti-magic materials, coupled with the buffer barrier that also covers them, making ordinary magic attacks almost impossible. Nothing works.

In other words, as long as the magicians' magic power is not exhausted and the buffer barrier does not fail, the Holy Night Army can hardly break through the city gate.

Directly below the fortress, after the sound of the trumpet, the other two holy night legions approaching the city immediately began to change their formations and take action.

Under the pale moonlight, a large number of shiny magic cannons of various colors were pushed out by the soldiers of the Holy Night. The muzzles of the pitch-black guns rose one by one, and they were projected at an angle, pointing directly at the fortress wall.

For a moment, the enemy formation below the city wall overflowed with murderous aura, and the rows of magic cannons exuded an extremely dangerous aura, which made people feel awe-inspiring.

"The number of magic cannons on the other side is indeed quite impressive."

While amazed in his heart, the condescending Lei Xiao noticed.

There are more than 200 magic cannons launched by the Holy Night Army. In addition to the more than 200 magician squads that provide energy for them, there are also a large number of longbowmen standing in a row with other magicians.

As far as the eye can see, there are almost countless dark areas under the city.

In a trance, a huge murderous aura condensed from the enemy's formation has quietly rushed towards his face, cold and biting.

"As Bai Lao said, the opponent's long-range power is at least on the scale of ten brigades."

"As for the other troops, they are basically defensive heavy infantry, evenly distributed in defense."

Lei Xiao looked at the holy night army under the city wall ready to go, and took another deep breath of the chilly night air.

It has to be said that this picture of the enemy army approaching the city, ready to launch a deadly offensive at any time, is indeed extremely soul-stirring.

"From the formation under the city, it can be seen that the opponent's commander is obviously very cautious. He has always moved outside the range of the fortress, that is, near the depression. Even if we attack first, the opponent only needs to hide in a natural place. In lowlands, casualties can be greatly reduced."

"In this way, it is undoubtedly impossible to completely annihilate or seriously injure the opponent. Even if my fire magic cannon has a longer range, most of its lethality will be offset by the depression."

"In other words, this depression is not only an excellent barrier to divide the opponent's strength, but also a natural trench for the opponent to save their lives. It is quite difficult to deal with."

Thinking of this in his heart, instead of showing embarrassment, Lei Xiao showed a smile as he expected.

As for how to defeat the opponent in this situation, Lei Xiao has already made preparations.
