Chapter 493 Fortress Offensive and Defensive War (Part 2)
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, staring closely at the Holy Night Army that was slowly approaching below the fortress.
Although the magic cannon is powerful, its range is relatively limited after all, and the opponent's throwing posture will further shorten this distance.
So what the opponent needs to do in the first step is naturally to let the magic cannon and archers enter the effective killing range before launching an attack on the fortress.
Since the arrow tower where the group of people are currently located is exactly in the center of the fortress wall, they can see all this clearly.
"Your Majesty, just as we expected before, the other party is indeed very cautious."
Bai Lao's old eyes were full of brilliance, looking at the long-range force of the Holy Night Army slowly advancing under the cover of a large number of shield-raised heavy infantry, he said to Lei Xiao.
"Tch, it's like a shrinking turtle."
Ariel frowned slightly, looked down at the large tortoise formations formed by the shields of the Holy Night Army, and echoed.
"In a situation where long-range forces are clearly superior, they are still so cautious. It seems that the commanders of these two legions are obviously much stronger than that reckless guy just now."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and said to the old general who was wearing a heavy white armor beside him: "Old General Bai, everything can be done according to the plan, I have already sent someone to the designated location."
"Understood, Your Excellency Ke Qing has worked hard."
Bai Lao nodded to Lei Xiao, then quickly walked out of the watchtower.
As for Ariel, she continued to stay beside Lei Xiao.
At this moment, Lei Xiao could clearly feel it.
Facing the murderous aura overflowing below the city, and the densely packed Holy Night Army approaching the city, although the Princess Lengyan looked quite calm, her body was trembling unconsciously.
For her, being in such a grand battlefield is obviously an experience she has never had before.
"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, don't be frightened when the bombardment rages on for a while."
Looking at Ariel's fair and delicate face, Lei Xiao couldn't help but tease her.
For Lei Xiao, who has experienced border battlefields and bloody confrontations with the Orc Legion.
Even though such a grand battle scene is shocking, it is far from frightening.
"Don't underestimate me. Although it's my first time on the battlefield, the blood of the King of Heroes flows in my body!"
Ariel put her hands on her hips, looking fearless: "My Lengyan royal family is born to be the strongest and bravest fighter, just like my sister Wang!"
"Perhaps your sister Wang inherited too much warrior blood, which has been exhausted by yours."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and teased the other party again, and then his face became serious again.
Under the city wall, the dark army of the holy night was getting closer to the fortress.
Waves of uncommon magic power began to ripple out from the tortoise shell formations.
It seems that the magicians of the Holy Night Army are already preparing to cast spells to recharge the magic cannon.
Accompanied by a gust of biting night wind, a gust of icy killing intent drifted along with it, which made people tremble suddenly.
The soldiers approached the city, and the war was imminent.
"From another world, do you think our battle plan will be implemented smoothly?"
While shivering, Ariel collected herself, and said to Lei Xiao subconsciously.
"Don't worry, everything is under my control."
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, looking at the strict formation of Lengyan defending soldiers around him, he nodded to indicate that Ariel need not worry.
Lei Xiao and Ariel just said this.
Directly below the fortress, the first batch of 50 magic cannons of the Holy Night Army that had just entered the firing range, had all kinds of dazzling magic brilliance suddenly appeared, and launched the first wave of attacks non-stop!
Accompanied by waves of impressive magic power, it rippled out from Holy Night's well-organized army formation.
As the earth trembled, thunderous bangs resounded below the fortress, and the momentum was astonishing.
The combined killing range of 50 magic cannons is enough to completely cover the entire city wall of the fortress!
It was too late, and then it was too late, after crossing a series of ∩-shaped orbits, a burst of deadly spells that were compressed to the extreme roared towards the city wall from the air!
The energy particles in the air are boiling, and each shot still looks like a ball of deadly spells from various schools, like meteors galloping in the night sky, directly hitting the buffer barrier covering the fortress .
Under the intensive magic bombardment, the surface of the buffer barrier, which was flickering with colorful streamers, suddenly stirred up ripples that spread continuously, just like a large number of stones falling on a calm lake, turning everything upside down.
Although the magic balls of various colors collided with Howl, they all smoothly penetrated the buffer barrier.
However, after being offset by the buffer barrier, the speed of these magic balls and the violent magic power contained in them have been weakened a lot.
Accompanied by the magic balls passing through the barrier one by one, they continued to roar down.
boom! boom! boom!
A series of deafening explosions exploded on the walls of the fortress.
The expanding hot fireball, the rapidly spreading tornado wind blade, the countless earth beads that exploded instantly like a grenade... all kinds of deadly magic spells complement each other, like mouths full of blood, as if they can swallow everything.
Judging from the violent magic power constantly rippling out.
In the case of the weakened buffer barrier, the lethality of these spells is still very good.
The center of each deadly vortex is enough to kill several squads of Tier 1 soldiers on the spot, let alone fifty deadly vortexes all at once?
For a moment, under the dark night sky, the deadly magic light that symbolizes death flickered on the fortress frantically, making people's eyes ache.
In the thick gunpowder smoke, stones and rubble splashed, and all kinds of violent magic fluctuations swept out crazily.
"The attack power is indeed quite astonishing. If I hadn't appeared, the fort would have suffered heavy losses, right? Unfortunately, I have appeared."
Seeing the continuous oscillating explosion above his head, Lei Xiao, who was squatting halfway beside the watchtower, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked around again.
Including Knotweed, Lin, and Ariel beside them, the soldiers of the Lengyan Army on the city wall were all in the same posture, keeping their bodies as low as possible.
And above everyone's heads, there is another radiant defensive barrier!
It is not difficult to see from this that although the first round of shelling by the Holy Night Army seemed violent, it did not cause any harm to Lei Xiao and the others at all!
"This is an absolute defensive barrier called the "Fortress Wall", as long as the supply of magic power is sufficient, it can resist all attacks. "
"This enchantment was activated by the enchantment crystals I obtained in the Eternal Ship. At that time, I obtained two enchantment crystals. One was deployed in the territory, and the other was always carried with me."
Lei Xiao looked at the continuous artillery fire above his head, and raised his eyebrows lightly.
"Currently, Hong Ye, Ye Cang, and Chao Yan are supplying magic power to this enchantment. There is a fifth-level magic and martial arts expert and two fourth-level magic experts who supply energy, plus the first It is still easy to resist the weakening of the buffer barrier and resist this level of first-order magic shelling."
The reason why Lei Xiao did this was exactly the plan he had discussed with Bai Lao before.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that although with his help, the firepower of the fortress had quietly surpassed the opponent, but if he used the dominant magic cannon to bombard the opponent from the beginning.
Then, just like what I saw just now, even though our fire system magic cannon has a longer range.
But once the opponent hides in that natural depression, due to the limited angle, the lethality of our magic cannon will be greatly limited, and it will arouse the opponent's vigilance.
Therefore, the only solution is to let the opponent taste the sweetness first, mistakenly thinking that the defense force on the fortress will be completely suppressed.
In this way, as long as the obsessed opponent presses forward aggressively, he will be completely exposed to the firepower of the fortress.
At that time, it is time for our firepower to fully open.
This is Lei Xiao's strategy, to retreat to advance.
"Before this, I have ordered my subordinates to try many times. As long as the "Fortress Wall" is activated successfully, you can change its shape and cover position as you like. "
"Although this ancient defensive enchantment from the human race can only be activated by strong human races, it does not exclude strong people from other races from supplying magic power. This is why Hong Ye, who is a dragon race, can participate. "
Lei Xiao looked at the translucent magic shield above his head, and nodded thoughtfully.
Due to the low pressure of the "fortress wall", the arrow towers that were not covered by the barrier had already been blown to pieces, and debris was scattered everywhere.
Coupled with the smoke from the magic bombardment, it almost completely blocked the line of sight.
Therefore, even if the enemy sends a powerful magician to observe, it is impossible to detect any clues.
After all, from the moment the shelling started, the energy particles inside and outside the fortress were completely messed up, and it was impossible to perceive the number of people at all.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Whoosh! boom! Whoosh!
Under the command of Bai Lao, two-thirds of the archers on the city wall and a dozen ordinary first-order magic cannons symbolically launched a counterattack amidst the billowing smoke.
In this way, it will naturally create a false impression for the opponent who knows the strength of the fortress well, that is, our defense force has been weakened a lot.
Sure enough, after the first wave of counterattack, although there were many soldiers of the Holy Night Army, they all fell into a pool of blood.
But the opponent did not stop, but launched the second batch of magic cannons while the first batch of magic cannons were cooling down, obviously wanting to take advantage of the victory and pursue them.
This time, in terms of scale, there are a full 100 doors.
Seeing that the Holy Night Army was about to attack again, the Lengyan defenders on the fortress also squatted down again, pointing the arrows in their hands at Shuangyue in midair, and began to scatter them into the air at will.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Another series of earth-shattering bangs.
A large number of compressed magic balls, like meteors falling from the sky, continuously landed on the buffer magic circle.
While splashing countless ripples, it hit the absolute defensive barrier of the "Fortress Wall" above everyone's heads.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Continuous and violent explosions exploded above Lei Xiao's head again, almost deafening.
"Although this absolute defensive barrier can completely block attacks, the effect of sound insulation is so-so."
Looking at the colorful waves constantly rippling out of the top of his head, as continuous as a violent storm beating on the glass, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly while rubbing his humming ears.
And Ariel, who was on the side, had a look of fear on her fair and delicate cheeks.
I saw this Princess Lengyan, who was on the battlefield for the first time, staring up at the colorful things in front of her eyes with trembling star eyes.
The attack strength of the Holy Night Army is indeed extremely astonishing.
If this guy from another world who is no longer so annoying in front of him is not here, then this mountain fortress may really be about to fall.
At the same time as her starry eyes flickered, Ariel involuntarily gave Lei Xiao a complicated look mixed with gratitude and indescribable emotions.
"In addition to the two Tier 5 powerhouses at the Zhenuo level, and many other powerhouses who are loyal, this guy can not only take out 300 Tier 2 magic cannons, but also has such an exquisite absolute defensive barrier, which is completely complete. It is comparable to the one in the palace of the royal capital."
Ariel looked at Lei Xiao's indifferent side face, and her heart was once again filled with huge waves.
"What's even more frightening is that, apart from these being comparable to our Lengyan royal family, this guy also possesses an unbelievable number of fifth-tier state-defending soldiers, which undoubtedly far exceeds the scope of the royal family's collection."
"And what's even more frightening is, God knows how many unknown hole cards are hidden in this guy's incredible storage bracelet?"
Taking a deep breath of the anxious air, Ariel pinched her cheek subconsciously.
If I hadn't seen all this with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it anyway.
Such unfathomable and abundant energy, not to mention a foreign lord who has just arrived, even if this guy is the lord of a country, I am afraid that many people will believe it!
"Then again, it's not a bad thing to be able to act together with such an unpredictable alien monster..."
Just in Ariel's heart, when it was up and down.
Thick smoke billowed from the city wall, and under Bai Lao's command, only one brigade of archers stood up to counterattack fiercely this time, and the scale was obviously much weaker.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Accompanied by the counterattacking arrows falling from the sky, the Holy Night Army who were still approaching, although a group of soldiers fell down again, they accelerated their pace and began to advance even more aggressively.
Even the archers and mages of the other part of the Holy Night Army who had been outside the range of the edge of the depression and did not participate in the attack began to move towards the fort quickly under the cover of heavy infantry.
"Oh? After two waves of tentative attacks, the opponent finally couldn't bear it anymore. Are you ready to start a massive attack?"
Looking at the opponent approaching the city, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face, and he murmured in his heart: "It seems that a good show is about to be staged."
