Chapter 1125 The Tragic War of Attrition

Of course, just trying to fill up this wide and deep moat is not something that can be done in a short time.

Especially the long-range defensive firepower of the Sun God Kingdom armed to the teeth.

On the first day alone, more than 3,000 serfs and coalition soldiers suffered casualties.

And at night, the coalition forces had to ask Narante for support.

I hope that Nalante can send his magic cannon to support the coalition forces.

Hearing the request, Narante would not refuse.

Although it is said that every cannon shot out by the magic cannon is all gold coins.

But right now, they are already under the city walls of the Sun God Kingdom.

He also wanted to wipe out the Sun God Country faster.

As long as the Sun God Nation is wiped out, there will be no powerful enemies in the Storm Territory on this continent from now on.

There is no need to be intimidated when developing.

So, in the Tianhe battle on the second day, Nalante's hundreds of mana armored vehicles drove outside the holy city.

As clusters of purple magic energy shells bombarded the holy city of the Sun God Kingdom, they immediately startled the Sun God Kingdom coalition forces in the city.

However, to Nalante's surprise, the magic cannon's damage was not as powerful as before.

This is not because the magic cannon is broken, or that Nalante is reluctant to use the magic spar.

It was because the walls of the holy city were protected by magic circles.

In the past, the magic energy bombarded ordinary city walls and immediately destroyed a large area.

For example, the walls of the city will definitely be torn apart by the jump.

But when the magic energy shells bombarded the walls of the holy city, the power was directly absorbed.

I saw a faint light on the surface of the city wall, like a protective shield.

The power of the magic energy cannon is directly reduced, and even the corners of the wall can't be hurt.

The result of this is that unless the magic cannon directly hits the inside of the wall stack, it can cause greater casualties.

But the wall stack is that big, and the magic cannon is not an arrow.

It is normal to have an error of one or two meters when shooting, and there is no way to control it.

Therefore, in a round of shelling, half of them can be bombarded in the middle of the wall.

Even, if there is no enemy in the middle of the wall with the help of the magic cannonball, it is possible that the magic cannon directly crossed the city wall and then shot into the interior of the holy city.

Although it can also damage the holy city, this is not what Nalante and the others want.

What they want is the magic cannon that can suppress the enemies on the city wall.

Narante frowned immediately. Such a bombardment effect was an absolute waste and inefficiency.

Ever since, Nalante made all the mana armored vehicles start to retreat.

After retreating for almost two hundred meters, they started shooting again.

In this way, the magic cannon has a larger arc of parabola.

Although the accuracy has become worse, there is a greater probability of avoiding the wall stacks and bombarding the middle of the holy city wall.

"That's the strange iron box reported by the escort soldiers when they returned from defeat some time ago."

"Goblin leader, let your magic cannons suppress him as much as possible. As for the serfs and coolies, just hand over the magic cannons to our Sun God Kingdom Guard!"

Although Narante was very dissatisfied with the results of his shelling.

But it still made the leader of the Holy City of the Sun God Kingdom on the city wall feel a huge threat.

Therefore, the leader of the holy city found the hired goblin leader without hesitation.

Let him aim all the magic cannons at Nalante's magic armored vehicle.

These goblins also have more than 200 magic cannons in total, and they were the ones that killed the most river filling teams yesterday.

"Okay, Your Excellency the Commander!"

Naturally, the goblin leader did not hesitate. He also heard the report from the subordinate leader who retreated last time.

It was that iron box that destroyed most of the hundreds of magic cannons brought by their goblins.

But today, the walls of the Holy City have a strong magic circle, which can be used to solve the iron box.

Although it was the first time he saw the iron box, he could guess it.

Although such an iron box can resist magic energy shells hard.

Can definitely not withstand a few shots.

I'm afraid it can be blasted away directly with three or four cannonballs at most.

Afterwards, the two hundred goblin magic cannons on the walls of the holy city launched a condescending bombardment on the magic armored vehicles.

Because of the height advantage, the goblin's magic cannon can lean against the wall to better target the magic armored vehicle.

In just one round of salvo, at least forty or fifty mana cannonballs bombarded the mana armored vehicle.

"Ouke, Ouke, honorable lord, this is not acceptable!"

"Those goblins on the walls of the holy city have better shooting angles."

"So their aiming accuracy is higher than ours."

"If we keep shooting here, I'm afraid it won't be long before some mana armored vehicles will be damaged."

The leader of the Rumba found Narant immediately after being bombarded and reminded him.

In fact, there is no need to remind, Nalante also discovered the problem immediately.

After all, this mana armored vehicle is also the most precious firepower in his family.

"Rumba, then start exercising, don't be afraid of consuming magic spar."

"After shooting, if you see that the opponent's energy storage is about to be completed, then move immediately."

"And wait for the opponent's magic cannon to finish firing, then stop and aim and shoot!"

Narant immediately gave the goblin Rumba a hint.

"Yes, my lord!"

Rumba immediately understood the meaning when he heard the words.

Then he took a few goblins and began to explain to the members of each mana armored vehicle.

Afterwards, the mana armored vehicle team was as Nalante said.

Mobilize as soon as the enemy's charge is about to complete.

After the enemy's magic cannon finished firing, he stopped to aim and fire.

Although the consumption of mana has become more than before, the probability of the mana armored vehicle being hit is lower.

The goblins on the city wall were not stupid when they saw this. After the shooting was completed, they also temporarily pulled the magic cannon behind the wall.

After Narante finished shooting, they pulled back to the front of the wall and started shooting.

In this way, on the second day of the Holy City War, the two sides engaged in a war of attrition involving each other.

Not only does it consume the other party's energy, but it also consumes the other party's material reserves.

Fortunately, even though they were consuming each other, the appearance of the Nalante mana armored vehicle actually attracted two hundred mana cannons from the opposite side.

Therefore, the casualties of serf coolies also dropped by more than half in the next ten days.

From more than 3,000 people on the first day, it has been reduced to more than 1,000 casualties every day.

Of course, even if this is the case, after more than ten days, the coalition forces have paid tens of thousands of casualties just by filling the moat.

This shows the brutality of this battle.

But even so, it still did not shake the will of the coalition high priests to attack the Holy City of the Sun God Kingdom.

As soon as the moat was filled, the truly brutal siege began.

The coalition sent 200,000 ordinary guards to attack the Holy City of the Sun God Kingdom from the front and the right.

All kinds of siege equipment were dispatched.

Whether it is a ladder, a siege vehicle, or a primitive weapon such as a trebuchet, it is used.

All of a sudden, there were shouts of killing inside and outside the holy city all day long, and blood flowed like rivers.

On the first day of the official battle alone, the coalition forces withdrew at the cost of five or six thousand people.

But even with the payment of five or six thousand people, under the resolute and strict defense of the Sun God Kingdom, the soldiers of the coalition army did not even touch the inside of the city wall.

Basically, it was lost when charging and climbing the city wall.

Moreover, this is also the case under the cover of Nalante's mana armored vehicle.

Even though Nalante traveled through so many years, to be honest, he rarely saw such a tragic siege battle.

But paying so many casualties did not affect the siege battle on the second day.

The Allied Forces of the Kingdom of God also sent a team of 100,000 people, divided into two teams, and besieged from both sides.

Of course, as for the results, there must be no difference from the previous two days.

It was still the coalition forces that paid thousands of casualties and withdrew their troops.

Of course, the Sun God Kingdom also had casualties, but the casualty ratio was much smaller than that of the coalition forces.

With the advantage of location, the casualty ratio of the two sides reached a terrifying five to one.

That is to say, five coalition soldiers can be exchanged for the casualties of one Sun God country soldier.

And such siege battles will continue day after day.

Every day, Nalante had just woken up from the tent when he could hear the sound of the loud horn from outside.

The sound of the horn is as punctual as the alarm clock adjusted in the previous life.

And the siege team is like office workers, attacking the city at a fixed time every day.

One battle in the morning, another in the afternoon.

Occasionally there will be surprise attacks in the middle of the night.

Such a stalemate battle made the mental state of the soldiers on both sides extremely tense.

Especially the coalition forces, because there are huge casualties every day, and they are still unable to attack for a long time.

Therefore, the morale has also changed from the high fighting spirit when the soldiers came to the city, to numbness.

Fortunately, although the coalition forces don't occupy a lot of land, they have people and harmony. .

That is the ordinary guards of the Kingdom of God that are continuously dispatched from the rear of the Kingdom of God.

The guards of each legion came and were only responsible for attacking for a period of time.

For example, after ten days of continuous attacks, another guard legion from the Kingdom of God will be replaced to participate in the battle.

And the previous legion can go back to the rear to rest.

Not only did they provide enough supplies to attack, but they also recruited a business group from the Kingdom of God to station them, allowing the guards to have fun and relieve their tension.

In this way, on the contrary, the guards of the Sun God Kingdom became more fatigued than the coalition forces.

Because the defenders in the city are all fixed, the number is simply not comparable to that of the coalition forces.

Although they will also be rotated, the treatment and time limit for rest and recuperation are simply not comparable to those of the coalition forces.

In the end, the original ratio of casualties between the two sides was five to one.

Later it became four to one, and even three to one.

Of course, three to one is already the limit.

After all, a strong city wall is also a very insurmountable punishment from heaven.

As soon as the time turned, it was three months later.

And this battle concerning the future fate of the human race in the Io continent has continued until now.

And the intensity of the attack has not weakened at all.

Although both sides are consuming countless supplies every day, they are losing thousands of subordinate soldiers.

But both sides are gritting their teeth and insisting.

But now, whether it is the soldiers or the leaders of both sides, they have actually become numb to the war.

The daily casualties have also become a series of numbers, except for the political officials who are responsible for special records.

Many times the high priests only hear a short numerical report every day.

For example, how many people are killed in battle today, how many are seriously injured, how many are slightly injured.

After hearing the report, the high priests had no other feelings.

The only thing that can witness the last journey of these dead soldiers is the black smoke rising from inside and outside the city every evening.

This is because as the war progressed, the weather gradually became hotter, and the number of casualties on both sides was too high.

The bodies of fallen soldiers could no longer be transported directly to the rear.

Therefore, in order to avoid the plague, both sides will recover their bodies for incineration after the battle.

It is then collected and shipped back.

...

"Nalante, this is a letter that was just delivered from the Kingdom of God today. This letter is written to you by Saintess Stella."

On the evening of that day, at dusk after the battle, High Priest Dagmar came to the Narant camp and brought him Stella's letter.

It has been four or five months since Narante came to Io Continent to participate in the battle, and Stella naturally knew about it.

Therefore, every once in a while, letters will be sent through the logistics team of Goddess Goddess Kingdom.

"Thank you, High Priest Dagmar, for letting you deliver it yourself!"

Nalante took the envelope very politely, and then invited High Priest Dagmar to sit down.

The expression on Dagmar's High Priest's face was no longer as radiant as it used to be.

There is always a little gloom between the brows.

In fact, not only the High Priest of Dagmar, but also the High Priests of other Allied Forces of God.

The holy city of the Sun God Kingdom could not be attacked for a long time, and it still had to pay so many casualties every day.

Although they are all ordinary guards, they are still lives.

Therefore, in order to destroy the Sun God Kingdom, although the high priests didn't say anything, they still felt very pressured in their hearts.

"High Priest Dagmar, would you like a drink!"

Although he said he was asking, Narante had already picked up the glass and put it in front of Dagmar, and then poured a glass of wine slowly.

Seeing this, High Priest Dagmar didn't refuse, picked up the cup and took a sip.

After putting down his wine glass, High Priest Dagmar turned to Narante and said, "Baron Narante, how long do you think it will take us to break through the holy city of the Sun God Kingdom?"

Although the battle is now at a stalemate, both sides are constantly consuming each other.

But in the eyes of the High Priests of the Allied Forces of Gods, the victory will eventually belong to them.

Because the Sun God Kingdom's guards are limited after all, sooner or later they will be exhausted.

And the coalition troops are numerous and powerful, although the casualties are greater, but they can be replenished very quickly.

Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the holy city is broken.

Facing the inquiry, Narante showed a little helplessness, although he wanted to say a few auspicious words.

But this time, he really couldn't predict the battle in the Holy City of the Sun God Kingdom.

Because the Sun God Kingdom's will to fight is unexpectedly strong.

Moreover, they not only made defensive preparations early, but also hoarded a large amount of supplies.

The most important thing is that the walls of the holy city have a magic circle, which can be called indestructible.

Therefore, under such circumstances, it is impossible to predict the day when the city wall will be breached.
