Chapter 492: Fortress Attack and Defense (Part 1)
After the giant gate fell with a crash, the wide-open metal gate of the fortress was also closed again. The light on it flickered, which was obviously a powerful defensive magic.
This sudden change made the soldiers of the Holy Night Army, who were full of murderous intent, couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, looking at the completely closed city gate and the towering walls surrounding it, the Holy Night Army soldiers realized that they had obviously fallen into a trap.
For a moment, in the huge Weng City, the Holy Night army dispersed and became a mess.
"Don't panic! The mixed magician brigade will attack the door leading to the inside of the fortress with all its strength. As long as we successfully rush in, we can still kill the opponent without leaving any trace behind!"
The commander riding on the tall horse reacted first and waved his hand: "The other soldiers formed a shield formation and were ready to rush in at any time. Each cavalryman has two reserve shields hung on his mount!"
After hearing the commander's order, the originally chaotic military formation suddenly became orderly again.
Under the command of their respective captains, the soldiers began to quickly take off their shields and adjust their formations, while many magicians began to chant spells and pointed their staffs at the gate inside the fortress.
After the initial panic, the faces of all the Holy Night Army soldiers were filled with the ferocious look of a trapped beast still fighting, and a strong murderous aura permeated the air.
It is not difficult to see from this that this is indeed a very well-trained army.
However, just as the magicians were halfway through chanting the spell, the soldiers had just picked up their shields and had not yet completed their formation.
On the originally empty ground, a large number of red and orange magic arrays suddenly appeared out of thin air, and the fire magic energy particles in the air became extremely manic.
The magic traps set up were activated.
boom! boom! boom!
Accompanied by waves of deafening explosions and dazzling flames soaring into the sky, the inside of the urn city once again became a mess.
The scorching air waves trembled layer after layer, just like terrifying fire monsters, writhing around in raging fire and running wild.
Immediately, many Holy Night Army soldiers who were caught off guard were thrown directly 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 indistinguishable, and they completely lost their fighting ability almost in an instant.
As the fire storm danced wildly, the screams of the soldiers, the neighing of the horses, the cracking of bricks, and the futile orders of the commanders were all covered up by the earth-shattering explosions, which made people's ears ring.
At this point, the entire Wengcheng has been plunged into a sea of flames. As black smoke rises, a burning smell permeates the air.
Immediately afterwards, under Bai Lao's order, the ambush troops of the Lengyan Army who had already been ambushing the towering walls of Wengcheng appeared from all directions, and the sound of chants and bows and arrows began to sound continuously.
Not long after, sharp arrows mixed with wind blades, fireballs, earth spears and other magic rained down from the sky, forming a deadly net and sending a second wave of death invitations to the remaining opponents.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao, who was hidden under his cloak, gently rubbed his ringing ears and nodded with satisfaction.
As these two waves of fierce attacks continued, the Holy Night Army was caught off guard and broke into the legion, basically unable to recover.
"Leng Yan's bastards, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to kill this general!"
With just a roar, three powerful fourth-level figures ejected straight out of the Wengcheng, and then landed steadily on the nearly fifteen-meter-high Wengcheng wall.
For these commanders of the Holy Night Army who could defeat one against a thousand, the blocking buffer defense barrier obviously had no effect.
Almost at the same moment, six more powerful figures of the third-level magic system rose into the air from the chaotic camp of the Holy Night Army and began to cast spells in the air.
As the sharp blades cut through the air and the dazzling attack magic of various departments intertwined, the cold flame archers and magicians ambushed on the city wall began to fall like pieces of wheat in an instant.
"A fight between trapped beasts?"
Seeing this, Lei Xiao frowned and immediately nodded to Huzhang and Hongye who were on standby.
"Hahaha, don't underestimate me, we and the nine Holy Night warriors can still kill you bastards all by ourselves!"
On the city wall, I saw the commander of the Holy Night Army who had just jumped up and whose strength was at the level of a fourth-level senior expert. His eyes were full of murderous intent. He waved his battle ax and chopped down a Cold Flame Army soldier who had no time to dodge, while grinning ferociously. road.
Beside him, the two lieutenants of Shengye, who were also at the fourth level of strength, also had stern expressions on their faces. They kept waving the sharp blades in their hands, causing shocking pillars of warm blood.
For a moment, the three Holy Night Army fourth-level experts 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 screen of light formed by waving a two-handed sword, and a few thin silver lines left by the small claws piercing the air, flashing through the hot air.
The Holy Night Army commander's ferocious laughter stopped abruptly, and he fell straight into a pool of blood together with a deputy general next to him. His two pairs of slowly dilated turbid pupils were full of shock and disbelief.
"Fifth...level five strong man?!"
Seeing the two people who were instantly killed, the other lieutenant who was still bleeding from the blade was frightened and just barely managed to utter a few words from his mouth before he was chopped down by the giant blade that attacked again. On the ground, there was suddenly no life left.
What is reflected in the bright red flowing from the side of the corpse is the proudly erect figure of Japanese knotweed and red night.
This extremely exciting scene caused the Lengyan Army on the city wall to burst into cheers and launch another fierce offensive.
Under the aim of two thousand longbows, the six third-level holy night magic masters who had just launched into the air immediately became living targets. They were quickly shot into hedgehogs by the swarming arrows and fell back into the sea of fire below. middle.
After that, a large amount of arrow magic mixed with the fierce sound of wind, shot into the Wengcheng, 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 Holy Night Legion that broke in had completely lost its threat.
In other words, the distance has been completely annihilated, and it is only a matter of time.
"Catching turtles in an urn has been completed, and it went more smoothly than I imagined."
Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly to Huzhang and Hongye, who had returned to his side, and motioned for the two of them to follow him back to the arrow tower on the wall in front of him.
Judging from the current situation, the first step of taking advantage of the situation has been successfully completed.
The two small, immobile fortresses on the mountainside also contained a legion each.
Then the next target is naturally the other two Holy Night Legions approaching the city.
As he advanced, Lei Xiao's face was stern, and he slowly took a deep breath of the bloody air filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.
"The magic traps laid in advance in the urn city just now obviously played an extremely crucial role. They are no different from high-explosive landmines, and maybe even better."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, thinking to himself: "This will undoubtedly be a great inspiration for the large-scale battles I will face in the future."
Lei Xiao was thinking this as he returned to the arrow tower just now.
Lei Xiao looked down from a high position and took further notice.
Because the turtle caught in the urn just now was so sudden, there was no time for the other Holy Night Army to react.
Therefore, the two Holy Night Legions under the fortress, which were originally well-organized, were obviously in a state of confusion and were at a loss.
Looking at the re-closed city gate, and the constant explosions and billowing smoke coming from the fortress, even the soldiers at the lowest level clearly realized that the invading legion who had fallen into the trap was probably in danger.
"Although I can't see Coach Shengye's reaction, I can imagine that there must be a very wonderful expression on that shocked and annoyed face, right?"
Lei Xiao looked down at the panicked Holy Night Legion below the city, raised his eyebrows and said in his heart: "I'm afraid that Holy Night coach will never think that the perfect fortress strategy plan that was carefully deployed has not only been easily broken by me, but also been defeated by me. Counterattack an army.”
Just when Lei Xiao just thought of this.
The Holy Night Army at the rear suddenly sounded a series of rapid and high-pitched horn sounds.
This is the signal that the enemy is preparing to attack.
"It seems that the angry Holy Night Army coach is obviously determined to prepare for a large-scale attack on the city."
Lei Xiao's face was stern, and he nodded to Hong Ye and others, indicating to his subordinates to start preparing the next response measures according to the plan.
Not long after, Bai Lao and Ariel also rushed over together.
Through Bai Lao's description, Lei Xiao learned.
Our long-range forces that were ambushing in the urn city just now, a magician brigade and two archer brigade, have all been transferred back to the front wall defense.
There is also a heavy infantry brigade responsible for protection, which is also in place.
As for the remaining enemy forces in the urn city, they have been handed over to the melee troops led by Bert, who are undergoing the final elimination.
"Understood, what follows must be the most brutal confrontation."
After hearing our latest news, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and looked towards the city wall.
Standing at the front of the battlements was a row of heavy infantrymen holding heavy shields and wearing heavy armor.
The armors and large shields of these heavy infantrymen were all flashing with faint magic lights, which were obviously blessed with anti-magic spells.
"This kind of buffing spell can generally only be released by Holy Light priests, and it can have a considerable extra protective effect within a certain period of time."
Lei Xiao's eyes passed over the burly bodies of the heavy infantrymen one by one, and he 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 who have all third-level equipment."
"Speaking of which, except for Orange and White, I currently have no Holy Light priest-related professions under my command, so I still know very little about these buff spells."
"As for Ye Cang, who is a dark healer or dark priest, he has completely abandoned the buff spells and converted them into powerful physical abilities and the ability to inflict terrible abnormal conditions."
"I hope that the next time the mansion is upgraded and the population is expanded, a team of priests who are good at healing and applying buffs can be recruited."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and fell on the row of archers behind the heavy infantry.
I saw these archers with their quivers filled with arrows, all with arrows on their strings, obviously ready for battle.
Behind the archers, there was another row of heavy infantry with shields raised, and so on, so that this team of nearly 3,000 people almost covered half of the city wall and all the towering archery towers.
Of course, there is still a lot of space left open, which is naturally used for the hidden magic cannon.
As for the magicians in that brigade, they were divided into two parts.
In addition to the gunners of the three squadrons, the remaining magicians and part of the priest group led by Ju Bai are responsible for supplying magic power to the buffer defense barrier in the hidden place behind the city wall.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, the survivability of the soldiers defending the fortress can undoubtedly be enhanced to the maximum extent.
After all, according to Bai Lao, the more magic power is supplied to the buffer defense barrier, the stronger the ability to neutralize attacks.
As for the giant gates of the fortress and the giant gates as the second line of insurance, they are both made of special anti-magic materials. Coupled with the buffer defense barrier also covering them, ordinary magic attacks are almost impossible to attack. Doesn't have any effect.
In other words, as long as the magicians' magic power is not exhausted and the buffer defense barrier does not fail, the Holy Night Army will be almost unable to break through the city gate.
Directly below the fortress, after the rapid sound of the horn sounded, 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 Holy Night soldiers. The dark muzzles of the cannons were raised one by one, and they were set at a projectile angle, pointing directly at the fortress wall.
For a moment, the enemy formation below the city wall was filled with murderous intent, and the rows of magic cannons exuded an extremely dangerous atmosphere, which made people feel awe-inspiring.
"The number of magic cannons the opponent has is indeed quite impressive."
While marveling in his heart, Lei Xiao, who was condescending, noticed.
There are more than two hundred magic cannons launched by the Holy Night Army. In addition to the teams of more than two hundred magicians who provide energy for them, there are also a large number of longbowmen standing in a row with other magicians.
Looking around, the city is so dark that there are almost countless people.
In a daze, a huge murderous aura condensed from the enemy's formation had quietly rushed towards them, cold and biting.
"Just like what Mr. Bai said, the opponent's long-range power is at least the size of ten brigades."
"As for the other troops, they are basically defensive heavy infantry, evenly distributed everywhere for defense."
Lei Xiao looked at the Holy Night army preparing to attack under the city wall, and took a deep breath of the chilly night air again.
I have to say that this picture of enemy troops approaching the city, ready to launch a deadly offensive at any time, is indeed extremely shocking.
"It can be seen from the formation under the city that the opponent's commander is obviously very cautious and always moves outside the fortress's range, that is, near the depressions. Even if our side launches the attack first, the opponent only needs to hide in the natural In the depression, casualties can be greatly reduced.”
"As a result, it is undoubtedly impossible to completely annihilate or severely damage 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 power, but also a natural trench for the opponent to save his life. It is quite difficult to deal with."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao not only did not show any embarrassment, but instead showed an expected smile.
Regarding how to defeat the opponent in this situation, Lei Xiao was naturally already prepared. (End of chapter)
