Chapter 110 Hyjal Defense (7)
There is one thing, Shen Yi actually lied - the demon guard is indeed very difficult to deal with because of its restraint, but this does not mean that it is much easier to defend against the next three rounds of attacks than the demon guard. extracurricular books
In fact, according to the difficulty distribution of the city, the forty rounds of attack correspond to the intermediate stage of the third difficulty, the advanced stage, and the intermediate stage and the advanced stage of the fourth difficulty.
In the eyes of the city, the advanced stage of the low-difficulty area is already equivalent or similar to the low-level stage of the high-difficulty area, so starting from the twenty-first round, it jumps up two small stages and directly enters the intermediate stage of the fourth difficulty area.
In other words, the task they are facing now is actually a task that can only be solved by middle-level adventurers of the fourth difficulty level.
Because of this, starting from the twenty-first round, the increase in difficulty has changed significantly.
If there is any advantage for Shen Yi and the others over the adventurers with difficulty level 4, it is that they have a relatively large number of people and are well prepared, but the pressure they face is still beyond what they can resist with their own strength.
But Shen Yi can't say all of this!
Fighting requires confidence, and fighting without confidence will never lead to victory. If the adventurers know that what they are facing now is no longer the task they should face, they will be easily satisfied and ready to give up at any time.
But for Shen Yi who once challenged the Demon God in the second difficulty, this is absolutely unacceptable-there are still three members of the Broken Blade team who have no blood, no matter what, at least one Demon God must be killed.
Because of this, the next nine rounds of offense must be gritted and defended.
The twenty-second round of attack came soon.
Nether Dragon.
The Nether Dragon is a kind of Void soldier between the Void Walker and the Void Elder. It also has the talent to move in disguise, but they are stronger. The most terrible thing is that their attacks have a strong corrosion effect, which is also harmful to the castle defense. There is a certain degree of danger.
The battle broke out again, and the adventurers once again took up arms to fight monsters from all directions.
The scenes of bloody fights were staged again and again, and the only result of the repeated battles was numbness.
Although all kinds of dangerous and fierce battles appeared one after another in front of Shen Yi, Shen Yi's heart was already calm.
He shot numbly and mechanically,
Combat is driven more by instinct than rational thinking.
One after another orc warriors fell down during the slaughter, and were torn into pieces. Amidst the blood, Shen Yi's eyes glowed red.
Chu Sheng's thunderous roar rang out in his ears, and he was yelling: "Shen Yi, is this easy to deal with as you said?"
Shen Yi smiled: "Anyway, it is indeed easier to deal with than the demon guards, isn't it?"
"Yes, but it's fucking limited. These Nether Dragons are really difficult to deal with. I hit three times in a row and saw that the remaining blood was hit, and the guy disappeared with a disguised movement. When he reappeared, he was mixed with a group of Nether Dragons. They They all look like birds, and I don't know which one to fight!"
"Then catch which one is which one. We have four hours to resolve the battle." Shen Yi replied lightly.
"But then we won't have time to rest!"
"You don't really think that we can rest in the next battle, do you? It's good to be able to solve the opponent within the specified time, but it may not be solved in the specified time later, and it is very likely to form a backlog. Then several waves of forces accumulate in the Together, they pushed us flat.”
"Fuck!" Chu Sheng cursed, but stopped talking, but the meteor hammer danced more and more crazily.
Due to the ubiquitous movement of Nether Dragons in disguise, it is extremely difficult for adventurers to kill them with focused fire attacks. In addition, they are aerial units, and even group damage skills have limited effects on them.
Fortunately, this same kind of movement also limits the fire concentration of the Nether Dragon, and the danger is relatively reduced. Combat thus becomes a war of attrition, and for adventurers, a war of attrition is both beneficial and detrimental.
The advantage is that adventurers who have drugs will always be the winners of the war of attrition. The disadvantage is that the long-term battle reduces the rest time they can get, and the drug reserves will be consumed more. Even if the faction has the honor to purchase all kinds of props and potions, it can't make up for such consumption-the supply of magic immunity potions has been cut off, and even the mana potions are almost exhausted.
However, these are not real troubles.
The real trouble is that the defense of the city wall has completely entered the brink of collapse under the attack of the Nether Dragon.
Due to the ability of the Nether Dragons to move in disguise, they can attack anywhere everywhere, and the gate of the castle is the preferred target of the Nether Dragons.
Under the frenzied attack of a large number of void dragons, the gate is obviously overwhelmed, like a small tree in a storm, already shaking.
"Quick! Get rid of these guys! Don't let them break through the gate!" Shen Yi drank a bottle of potion and shot it with a scatter gun. This was the second bottle of mana potion he drank in this round of attack.
The shadow of the whip dances in the air, the light of the ax flickers, the iron fists are criss-crossed, and the bullets rain like a tide.
One after another, the Nether Dragons fell in the crazy attack of the Broken Blade team, but these fearless guys never stopped attacking the iron gate.
When there were only a dozen or so Void Dragons left at the city gate, there was only a bang!
The iron gate of the castle finally collapsed in full view, completely ending its mission of blocking the enemy. extracurricular books
The Burning Legion's gateway to the castle suddenly opened!
Seeing this scene, even Shen Yi felt a chill in his heart. Although he knew that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later, he had been trying to delay it.
It's a pity that it has been dragged to this round, and he can no longer drag it on.
"Shen Yi, the city is broken!" Wei Na also cried out.
Before the city is broken, it is life!
After the city is broken, life is harvested!
This is an indestructible truth in the world's offensive and defensive wars.
The city gate is broken, which means that the adventurers are losing their geographical advantages, and the gap will become wider and wider as the enemy strengthens and their own weakens.
Shen Yi said coldly: "Let's just break it. Anyway, I'm not unprepared. Clean up the remnants first, and then prepare for street fighting. Don't forget that we still have the second and third defense lines."
His tone was relaxed, as if it was really what he said, it was no big deal.
Only he himself understands that the second and third layers of defense combined are not as important as the first layer. After all, the former is keeping the enemy out of the country, while the latter is fighting directly at home.
The remaining Nether Dragons were quickly wiped out by the adventurers, but the battle finally consumed everyone for more than three hours.
After only ten minutes of rest, the twenty-third round of attacks had already occurred.
This time, it was the ghost cavalry.
The Nether Cavalry from Nine Nether Hells are like the kings in the dark, cold, chilling, and possessing a powerful and unparalleled impact.
If the city gate is not broken, as long as they keep them out of the castle, the adventurers still have a good chance of solving them, but now, they can only choose to fight hand to hand.
Shen Yi had always hoped that the city gate could be guarded until at least twenty-three rounds later, in order to guard against the ghost cavalry, but unfortunately he failed to do so after all.
"All adventurers block the city gate, don't let them in!" Chu Sheng shouted.
"No!" Shen Yi quickly shouted: "Don't block the city gates, those guys have charge skills, and anyone who is charged by them will suffer triple damage!"
But he is not the real commander after all, there are still some adventurers trying to use their powerful body to block the impact of the ghost cavalry.
They quickly paid dearly for their mistakes.
These cavalrymen shrouded in black mist didn't seem to mind the human wall blocking the city gate.
They just lined up silently, and then charged against the artillery fire all over the sky.
Whether charging or dying in the attack, they always remained silent, as calm as ice that never melted.
flutter!
One of the ghost cavalry who charged first had already rushed to the city gate, and the cavalry spear in his hand, which was surrounded by hazy black air, was hitting an adventurer's shield.
The adventurer is obviously a guy who is good at defense, rooted like a rock.
A blow from the cavalry spear failed to move him at all. The adventurer grinned openly, "What kind of bullshit triple attack, a group of scum with only 5 basic combat power!"
However, after the cavalry shot out with a spear, the horse turned around, and another cavalry rushed to follow behind, and stabbed the shield fiercely with another spear.
This time, the adventurer's body visibly shook, and the adventurer's eyes showed a hint of surprise when he felt the obvious increase in strength. The third cavalry had rushed up and hit the shield, and the adventurer's whole body was shaken like Struck by lightning.
However, this guy is brave enough to fight to the death, and Shen Yi has already shouted at him: "Quick back! This is their combo technique, the power can be superimposed infinitely!"
What?
The adventurer was startled, and the fourth Nether Cavalry had already rushed forward. This time, the knight spear pierced the adventurer's shield directly. In the explosion of fragments, the knight spear pierced the adventurer's chest. One blow pierced it, picked it up on the point of the spear, and flung it back.
The adventurer was flying in the air, and saw spears like a forest, poking towards the sky.
"No!" The adventurer screamed in horror.
Swipe!
Countless knight spears stabbed at him at the same time.
"Return..." the adventurer screamed in despair.
However, even returning, it actually takes a few seconds for the system to respond.
Just as he called out to return, the knight spears pierced through his body, completely nailing him into the air.
The bloody emblem finally sent a reminder:
"e4415 request to return...Sorry, you have died in battle and do not meet the conditions for return, so you cannot return."
The adventurer's body frozen in the air trembled, and he said, "Urban...fuck...your mother!"
He died with his head tilted, his eyes were still wide open, it was obvious that he was dying.
The death of this adventurer finally made everyone aware of the horror of this group of cavalry. The charge and the display of group strength are the most powerful support. fierce.
Shen Yi has already shouted: "Leave the city gate! Let them enter the castle, use street fighting, divide and encircle! Lao Meng, you can release your skeleton!"
The ghost cavalry is a cavalry team, which is good for charging and decisive battles on the plains. It is suitable for charging on a large-scale battlefield and not suitable for individual battles in a small area.
Since he couldn't defend against the enemy outside the country, he had no choice but to use the complex terrain inside the castle to fight. This was also one of Shen Yi's backup plans.
But doing so is not without cost - if the cavalry is allowed to charge, the outer forts will be severely hit, and in addition, the various alchemy traps arranged by Shen Yi inside will also be consumed.
Although these traps have been used for consumption since the beginning of their existence, Shen Yi still hopes that they can act on more advanced targets.
Well, the ghost cavalry can't be considered a low-level unit, at least if it's a decisive battle on the plain, two thousand ghost cavalry can kill more than fifty adventurers to nothing.
This time the adventurers finally listened to Shen Yi's words.
They quickly withdrew from the city gate and retreated towards the rear or above the city wall.
The gate of Hyjal Castle was wide open, and a large number of ghost cavalry hula-la rushed towards the city, rolling up a black air current, straight into the sky, and drawing a thick black arrow on the topographic map of Hyjal Castle.
After this arrow entered the castle, facing the criss-crossing roads, it quickly turned into small black arrows, and continued to charge forward. All the soldiers who blocked the way were pierced with a spear.
They have a neat lineup and strict military discipline. Even if they are divided by natural terrain, they still effectively maintain the offensive rhythm of each team, and they are related to each other without being out of touch.
For this alone, it can be listed as an absolutely strong soldier on Earth, a warrior that any general would dream of.
However, with the entry of the ghost cavalry, their troubles soon came.
The alchemy traps that Shen Yi arranged everywhere began to function, including poisonous smoke traps, flap traps, flame traps, spider web traps, lightning traps, frost traps, flying arrow traps, and even various horse traps. pit.
If the previous defensive battle of Hyjal was still taking advantage of the high walls and thick walls to fight hard, then the street fighting that followed the fall of the city gate became a war of soft against hard, soft against hard.
The battle is no longer a huge scene of groups confronting each other, but is divided into countless small battlefields, which are staged simultaneously in every corner of Hyjal Castle.
This kind of battle scene is much less imposing than a group duel, but its bloody and brutal level is even worse.
A troll hunter stood on the city wall and threw a spear towards the bottom. At the same time as the battle ax hit the cavalryman, a ghost cavalryman below also threw a knight spear, piercing the troll hunter's chest, the troll The hunter fell off the city wall clutching his chest, and was pierced into a sieve by more than a dozen knight spears as soon as he landed.
A ghost cavalry rode his horse's head, and the undead horse ran up the city wall. Just as he was about to climb to the top of the city, a huge log was swung down, and the ghost cavalry was directly smashed down from the air. Die through holes.
Just as a white bull priest came over to revive him, a Nether Cavalry suddenly jumped up in the air, drew out his long sword and chopped off the priest's head, and then a ray of light from the Tower of Destruction hit the cavalry, directly smashing the cavalry into pieces.
More killings are still being carried out between adventurers, Lao Meng's skeleton summoning and ghost cavalry. Adventurers with more powerful agility and strength attributes once again give play to their flexible advantages, jumping vertically and horizontally between the city walls. Highly attack the ghost cavalry, and those undead troops made by Lao Meng become the best cannon fodder to absorb the damage from the ghost cavalry.
There are traps every step of the way in Hyjal Castle, and there are beacons everywhere.
The attack of the Nether Cavalry fell into a quagmire, and quickly changed from being unstoppable to being unable to move an inch.
The ghost cavalry, who had lost their advantages in charge and team combat, were obviously not used to this kind of battle, and fell one by one on the way to charge.
However, even if these brave and fearless guys were defeated, relying on their high physical strength, high defense and high mobility, they still caused great damage to the castle defenders.
The deadliest thing was the thirty turrets on the outer line of defense, which suffered serious blows due to the Nether Cavalry rushing into the castle.
Although Shen Yi personally led people to protect and resist desperately, a large number of forts were still severely damaged.
When all the Nether Cavalry were killed, eight of the outer defenses had been destroyed, and seven of them had been severely damaged. In addition to the previous losses, only twelve of them were left usable.
The orc warriors themselves also suffered huge damage. Although the ghost warriors are not conducive to small-scale battles, their strong attributes often make them able to pull one into the water even if they die. Two thousand ghost cavalry directly caused the death of four hundred warriors and one adventurer. This was at the expense of Lao Meng's loss of more than half of the undead puppets.
When the battle was over, Hyjal's defense force had only more than 3,000 orc soldiers and 49 adventurers left. Among them, two of the adventurers died in battle and three returned.
The twenty-fourth round of attack is to destroy the guard.
This is another high-level guard among the guards. Compared with the demon guards, they do not have the skill of war trampling, which is a headache for adventurers, but they have the ability to summon hellfire.
Each Doom Guard can summon a Hellfire to assist in combat. In other words, there are two thousand Doom Guards, each of which has the ultimate move of the Dread Demon King.
Although the threat to adventurers is actually not as great as the trampled by war, it may not be easy to deal with. In particular, Hellfire itself has a 2-second stun ability when it lands, which is equivalent to a one-time group stun skill for each Doom Guard to a certain extent.
This time, Shen Yi finally took out another trump card—the mercenary call.
Before entering the mission world, Shen Yi hired two heavy shield soldiers.
These two heavy shield soldiers have 1800 points of life, 50 points of defense, and three active defense skills.
Shen Yi just wanted them to guard the city gate and block the destruction guards out of the gate again.
The impact ability of the Destruction Guard is far inferior to that of the Nether Cavalry. If heavy shield soldiers are used to block the Nether Cavalry, it is courting death, but blocking the Destruction Guard can still last for a period of time.
Is Shen Yi going to play the tactics of annihilating the enemy outside the country again - the door is gone, how long can he survive with two guards?
The key is that he knows that the Doom Guard has a habit characteristic, that is, if the battle starts head-on, they will choose to summon Hellfire at the right time.
But if the battle is carried out in the form of long-range interception, assuming that the city gate is not lost, the destruction guard will immediately release hellfire into the city. The reason for this is to use the long-range bombardment of Hellfire to break open the castle, and secondly, it can create internal battles and weaken the external siege pressure.
This design was originally formulated according to the battlefield situation to be the most suitable tactic for destroying guards, and it is suitable for both long-range and short-range attacks.
But for adventurers, what they are really afraid of is not the hellfire, but the two seconds of dizziness.
Just imagine, once the two sides meet hand in hand, a group of destruction guards will smash hellfires one after another against a group of adventurers, one dizzy after another, just smashing can kill everyone alive.
Therefore, the first thing Shen Yi wants to do is to use the tight defense of the heavy shield soldiers to lure the destruction guards to collectively use hellfire.
When the hellfire falls in the castle, although it will also bring a dizzy effect to everyone, it does not have the dizziness of destroying the guard's attack, and there is no threat at all. Coupled with the fact that the Hellfire is too far away to concentrate its attack, it greatly reduces the threat of the initial attack.
Of course, the consequence of doing this is that the city wall will suffer terrible destruction again, but Shen Yi is basically ready to give up the outer defense line at this time, so it doesn't matter.
As expected, the battle was going in the direction Shen Yi expected.
Due to the two heavy shield soldiers and fat man and other adventurers who are particularly good at defense, they joined forces to defend to the death, and the destruction guards began to use hellfire on the castle.
Huge flaming meteorites smashed down one after another in the sky, smashing into the top of the city and knocking out fragments of rocks all over the sky. Some unlucky soldiers were directly smashed into the air by the hellfire falling from the sky, but more were just smashed into the air.
Two thousand hellfires fell in the city, and a new frantic fight started again.
To put it bluntly, the Hellfire siege without the support of the Destruction Guard is to repeat the attack of the eighteenth round.
For an attack of this difficulty, the combination of adventurers and orcs can still be done relatively easily.
As for the periphery, Lao Meng and Shen Yi joined forces again to stage a good show of smoke bombs combined with Frostmourne. However, the health of the destruction guards was much higher than that of the demon guards. In addition, Lao Meng's fountain of youth had lost its effectiveness, and he had to retreat after only killing one-fifth of it.
Fortunately, when the two heavy shield soldiers finally died in battle, and Fatty and others retreated without support, the battle against Hellfire in the castle had also come to an end.
More and more reinforcements reappeared at the top of the city, fighting with the incoming destruction guards, and finally withstood this fierce and powerful attack.
Of course, the defender also paid a huge price for this - the outer defense line was almost completely destroyed, and there were many gaps in the city wall, like a sieve, which could not be blocked no matter what.
None of the outer forts survived. It can be said that the entire outer defense line was completely finished and turned into ruins.
That's it, it was done on the basis that Shen Yi predicted each round of attacking arms and formulated targeted strategies in time.
It is conceivable that if there is no internal information, perhaps the adventurers will come to an end at this point.
However, for Shen Yi, he was still not satisfied.
Because the current progress is still six rounds away from the progress he wants!
But fortunately, at least in the next round, he doesn't have to worry about whether he can pass.
"In the twenty-fifth round of attack, Eredar wizards cooperate with three heroic demon kings. Three heroic demon kings are enough, Hong Lang solves one, Wen Rou solves one, and Chu Sheng solves one. Those Eredar wizards are quite Trouble, they're a powerful mage-type unit, true crowd attack specialists, but most importantly, they have a psychic attack ability that's simply unstoppable... luckily, when you're prepared, sometimes the best A sharp attack becomes the weakest attack"
At this moment, Shen Yi said word by word: "Luo Hao, Yi Yu, it's up to you two to deal with the eredar wizard."
The fat man chuckled, "Just watch."

If anyone is dissatisfied, I can only say that this is a lack of ability and has nothing to do with attitude.
