Chapter 461: Breaking Through the First Line of Defense, Shocking Troops
"The four-alliance coalition forces are deployed on this section of the eastern wall."
"The dragon bone golem is in the middle."
"The original blood forest giant is deployed on the west."
"In the three areas, the number of legions acting as meat shields in front is no less than 3,000."
"It is mainly because the terrain is narrow and it is difficult for us to deploy large-scale troops."
"But in order to reserve space for subsequent reinforcement of the legions."
"In the middle of the three legions, we need to leave a passage for rapid retreat and reinforcement."
"And behind the three siege meat shield legions, deploy small fishmen respectively."
"We currently have as many as 300,000 small fishmen."
"Deploy 100,000 in each area."
"The small fishmen are small in size, and can be deployed in large numbers to form a dense firepower attack."
"Also, the small fishmen can be deployed on the giants."
"When the giants climb the city, launch the attack from the shoulders of the giants."
In the siege camp.
Christian quickly marked the attack force deployment map on the map.
And waited for her to say.
Vivian asked on the side.
"What about the mages?"
"Will our mage corps not participate in the attack?"
Christian shook his head.
"Of course not."
"The mage corps will be used to suppress the counterattack on the city wall."
"The Flame Mages use the corps skill Fire Meteor, and their attack range is quite far."
"This time, the Lord has deployed 10,000 Flame Mages. I plan to use them to cast Fire Meteor to suppress the counterattack on the city wall."
"Divide the 10,000 Flame Mages into different batches and attack the defenders on the city wall in batches."
"As long as the defenders on the city wall are suppressed, the siege corps under the city wall will take the opportunity to climb the city."
"This will greatly reduce the casualties of our soldiers who are blocked outside the city wall."
"As for the wind mages, their attack range is relatively short."
"If they participate in the attack, they will be easily counterattacked by the construct archers on the city wall. . "
"So we will not participate in this battle for the time being. We will serve as a reserve army and wait for the general attack to launch the attack. "
"There is also a flying army. "
"Asis and Fiona. "
"The number of dragon eagle knights is small and cannot be lost in the siege. "
"I need you to cruise around and monitor the surrounding areas of the northern defense line. "
"At the same time, find an opportunity to break into the city and kill the magic crystal artillery army hidden in the city. "
"But remember, you need to wait until the magic crystal artillery army has no guards before you take action. "
"If they are stationed with magic crystal gun infantry regiments and thorn flower magic pattern knights. "
"If you take the risk of raiding at this time, it is easy to be ambushed and the whole army will be wiped out. "
Fiona bowed slightly.
"Yes, sir."
Then she looked at Asis.
"The main task of the Griffin Knights in the early stage is to guard against the counterattack of the Griffins in the city."
"Especially be careful that they send Griffin Knights to suddenly rush towards our Mage Legion."
"When releasing the Legion spell, the Flame Mage cannot be interrupted."
"Once interrupted, it will be backfired by the magic."
"So!"
"Yasis, you must deploy all the Griffin Knights on the sides of the three siege legions."
"To protect them from being counterattacked by the air legion in the city."
"At the same time, once the army can rush to the top of the city."
"You must lead the Griffin Knights to keep in sync."
"Infiltrate the depth of the northern defense line."
"Look for opportunities to cut off the infantry supporting the city wall."
"This will cover our occupation of the city wall."
Yasis nodded and asked again.
"Christian, if I can find the location of the Magic Crystal Cannon Corps, can we choose to launch a tentative attack?"
"Investigate for Fiona's Dragon Eagle Knights to see if there is an ambush."
"If not, eliminate the Magic Crystal Cannon Corps in one fell swoop."
"I think the Magic Crystal Cannon Corps will be the biggest threat in the next siege."
Christian nodded.
"Okay."
"But don't go by yourself, just send the Griffin Knights to test it."
Assis responded solemnly.
"Yes, sir."
Finally, Christian set his sights on the heroes around him.
"Because of the shield being broken, among us, except for Lilith's forbidden spell recovery."
"The rest of the people's strength has not fully recovered."
"So this siege, before receiving my general attack order, it is forbidden to go to the city."
"Our lives come from the Lord. If he doesn't let us die, we must live."
The heroes present nodded one after another.
Then, Christian swept his eyes over everyone.
"Since the combat mission is clear."
"Vivian, you are the frontline commander of the siege."
"Pass the order."
"Begin the siege!!!"
"Yes, sir!"
Outside the northern defense line.
As Christian's order was issued.
The siege army, which had long been unable to hold back, began to slowly advance towards the walls of the northern defense line.
At this time.
The defenders in the city looked at the army advancing towards them under the city wall.
Their faces all showed solemnity.
"Prepare for a counterattack!"
"Constructed archers."
"Armor-piercing arrows."
"Ten bursts."
"Target."
"Giant!"
"Ready."
On the city wall.
When the defenders saw the giant on the ground roaring.
When it instantly became more than 20 meters high.
Immediately, a commander began to give orders.
And when the giant was about to reach the attack range.
Suddenly.
In the sky, a pungent smell of burning came.
The guards on the top of the city looked sideways.
Then they immediately found in horror.
Above the sky.
Fire meteors fell towards them.
"It's magic."
"Dodge!"
"All troops enter the soldier cave to avoid magic attacks."
On the walls of the northern defense line, there are soldier caves specifically for avoiding magic.
But the construct archers on the walls are all wearing heavy constructs.
This thing requires more than a dozen servants to put on, and the same is true for taking it off.
At this time.
How could it be taken off so quickly and hide in the treasure cave.
Looking at the falling magic, these archers can only helplessly choose to rely on themselves to dodge.
But this time they are facing the fire meteors released by the Flame Wizard.
Instead of ordinary bows and magic.
In addition to being larger in size, the fire meteors have higher magic damage.
What's more terrifying is that they have splash damage.
Dense fire meteors lock onto the wall.
"Boom" fell.
Sparks splashed on the ground.
These archers wearing constructs are relatively convenient in action.
But under such a dense attack.
All the dodging was in vain.
Many construct archers dodged the first one, but were soon killed by the second one.
Dodged the second one.
Ignite by the splashing magic energy.
Even these were lucky to avoid.
The fire meteor fell, forming a fire zone on the city wall.
These construct archers were roasted by the fire zone.
Desperate dehydration died.
A moment later.
On the northern defense line, no archer on the entire wall survived.
And take advantage of this opportunity.
The three vanguards attacking the city under the wall have already approached the wall.
The three siege legions have different ways of attacking.
The original blood forest giant enlarged its body, and then quickly climbed up the wall in a stacked posture.
At the same time, on the shoulders of the giant, there stood a fishman holding a bone blade.
They climbed the wall the fastest.
A moment later, they had already crossed the wall and appeared inside the city wall.
Because the defenders were either killed in battle or retreated into the treasure cave under the magic attack just now.
So they did not encounter any counterattack at all.
And in the other two siege legions.
The dragon bone golems cannot climb.
The little fishmen here did not take on the task of going up to the city, but came to the bottom of the city wall and fired waves of water with the bone blades in their hands to attack the defenders still standing on the city wall.
Finally, there were the four alliances.
They participated in the battle and knew that they were going to attack the city.
So the legions brought this time were specially arranged with special siege troops.
These legions carried a large number of climbing ladders.
Some of the ladders were mechanical pulleys and magic-driven.
Some of these were obtained from the foggy world, and some were made by professionals on Blue Star.
At the same time, there were catapults, crossbows and other equipment that could attack the top of the city.
Most of them were developed and made by professionals on Blue Star.
These equipment are relatively primitive.
It is better to use airships, special siege machines.
But those things are expensive and troublesome to use.
The most important thing is that there is no place to buy them.
There are few finished products of goblin airships, and most of them are hidden for research.
There is only one siege machine.
Therefore, when the Blue Star Lords attack the city, they all use relatively primitive tactics.
They also use various magic modified products in the ancient history of Blue Star.
But although the things are primitive, the effect is good.
Especially after the defenders on the city wall were suppressed by magic.
The four-alliance coalition directly put the magic-driven ladder on the top of the wall.
Then the soldiers who attacked the city were like taking an elevator.
Then the equipment quickly climbed up the city wall.
But just when they had just transported the third batch of people.
The counterattack of the defenders inside the city wall began.
The constructed infantrymen who came out of the treasure cave, holding thick spears, formed squares and began to counterattack.
At this time, the number of legions in the upper city was not large.
When facing the spears of dozens of meters, the siege infantry of the four alliances could not resist at all.
They were directly stabbed to death by the mechanically driven spears in two or three strokes.
The infantry in the upper city were quickly cleared.
But on the other side.
The original blood forest giants in the upper city were not so easy to deal with.
In terms of size, they have an advantage over the constructed infantrymen.
In addition, they have thick skin and flesh, and they carry many small fishmen on their shoulders.
When these constructed infantrymen came with long spears.
Just after two stabs, they were blocked by the hard shield.
Then the fishmen on the shoulders launched a poisonous water wave attack.
Under the dense poisonous water wave attack.
The counterattack of the constructed infantry encountered great difficulties.
Not only did they fail to kill the enemy, but they also suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the defenders on the city wall were ready to change people.
The construct infantry was not good, so they were ready to replace them with two-handed magic pattern great swordsmen.
But just when these magic pattern swordsmen were ready to go for support.
On the side of the army.
Yasis, who was fighting with the griffin knights in the city wall, suddenly pointed to the ground.
"Wind and Thunder Sword Guards."
"Take three hundred griffin knights and stop them."
The wind and thunder sword guards who received the order quickly left the team.
Landed on the city wall.
Blocked the way of the magic pattern swordsmen.
The road was suddenly cut off.
The magic pattern swordsmen were furious and fought with these griffin knights.
But Yasis's order made the defenders on the city wall unlucky.
The construct infantry, which lost their backup, were soon surrounded by the original blood forest giants who climbed the city one after another.
Under the city wall, Hogg brought the original blood forest giant and kept throwing the murlocs onto the city wall.
These murlocs were thrown into the formation of the construct infantry.
Although most of them fell to death.
But some of them entered the construct accurately.
The infantry inside had no time to react and were stabbed to death by the bone blades of the murlocs.
Not long after.
The defenders on the west wall were killed.
After the defenders were gone.
The number of murlocs climbing the city wall increased.
Soon it reached tens of thousands.
They even began to jump off the city wall and attack the city gate and the depth of the city wall.
But at this time, the defenders who were supposed to fight to retake the city wall.
suddenly retreated.
A vacuum appeared near the city wall in an instant.
Then, a place in the city lit up with a little light.
Several magic crystal cannons fired rapidly at this section of the city wall and the future of the state.
The original Blood Forest Giant, Griffin Knight, and Murloc who climbed the city wall didn't even have time to react before they were blown into a pile of meat paste by the magic crystal cannon.
This scene was seen by Vivian under the city wall.
She said to Christian who was watching the battle beside her.
"It's not difficult to attack the top of the city, but the trouble is how to deal with the threat of the magic crystal cannon."
"Their threat is too great."
"Our soldiers who climbed the city can't withstand the power of the magic crystal cannon at all."
"If they go up, they will be blown to death."
Christian nodded slightly.
Then he said.
"That's why we need to keep attacking."
"We know where their magic crystal cannons are."
"The firing of magic crystal cannons cannot be continuous."
"This time, our siege corps was killed, so these magic crystal cannons will have to wait for recharging, and the next attack will require another magic crystal cannon."
"As long as our soldiers attack the city wall faster than the magic crystal cannons recover, we can take down the city wall."
"Besides."
"As long as the magic crystal cannons in the city can be fired continuously."
"Then their location will be exposed."
"At that time, we only need to use the Dragon Eagle Knights to launch a surprise attack and destroy all these magic crystal cannons, and the northern defense line will be taken down in an instant."
"So, Vivian, don't be afraid of death."
"War is a war."
"A soft-hearted general will only bring greater casualties."
"Send an order!"
"Continue to attack the city."
"Yes."
As Christian's order was issued again.
The defenders who had just driven the enemy off the city wall found that another enemy rushed up the wall again.
This time.
They learned from their previous experience.
They began to withstand the fireballs overhead.
They used the construct infantry to counterattack the soldiers climbing up the wall.
After the fireballs stopped falling.
The construct archers began to climb the city walls, and huge arrows fell like raindrops.
The soldiers who climbed the city walls were shot into hedgehogs.
However, the counterattack of the fishmen also caused casualties to them.
The two sides began to fight repeatedly on the city wall.
After the high-intensity siege lasted for more than three hours.
Under the city wall, there were already many corpses.
All the original blood forest giants had been consumed.
The four-alliance coalition had been killed in battle.
The dragon bone golems were all broken into pieces.
However.
Only the number of small fishmen did not decrease.
Instead, it surged to as many as 500,000.
Under the city wall.
Densely packed small fishmen climbed the city wall and rushed to the top of the wall.
The defenders on the city wall looked at the fishmen who made strange "quack quack" sounds.
The defenders felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
The key point is that the defenders on the city wall have also lost more than 2/3.
The construct infantry had been completely wiped out.
The current counterattack relied entirely on the magic pattern two-handed greatsword infantry and wandering mages.
And the construct archers were less than 300.
They could no longer organize an effective rain of arrows to counterattack these little fishmen.
The capture of the first wall was a fait accompli.
Even if the magic crystal cannon was used to counterattack, this fact could not be changed.
Finally.
The commander of the northern defense line gave the order.
Abandon the first line of defense.
The defenders of the first line of defense retreated to the second line.
