Chapter 1418 Siege the city overnight
Accompanied by the loud sound of the horn, the army of the Subia Demon Kingdom, which had completed its formation, began to advance, officially starting the prelude to attacking the black market fortress.
The military drums were also beating loudly, as if they were trying to make up for the lack of morale in this way.
Yes, as the attacker, the morale of the Subia Demon Kingdom army is seriously low.
Back in the open city, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Subian Demon Kingdom were frightened to death. Many of them suffered from severe mental illness and were no longer capable soldiers on the battlefield.
Less than two years have passed since this tragic situation. Even if new recruits are recruited, they must have heard the terrifying legend that being an enemy of Viola is an enemy of the Demon King and God.
It can be said clearly that the soldiers do not want to fight and do not dare to fight. It is no wonder that morale is high.
In addition, the Subia Demon Kingdom army marched all the way and did not camp near the fortress to rest. No matter how slow the marching speed was, the march itself would consume the soldiers' mental and physical strength, and they would attack the city overnight without giving any time to rest. , even an army with good morale will be weak, let alone an army with low morale.
On the other hand, Viola's morale was inspired by the battle of revenge, and the priests of the Demon King's Cult served as political commissars, so her will to fight was not a problem at all.
After more than a month of waiting for work, the soldiers have almost gained weight, not to mention the loss of physical strength.
What's more, we still have a fortress to defend and our army is larger.
It was so obvious that the enemy was weak and we were strong, it felt like there was no way to fight.
But the Subia Demon Kingdom army still attacked, which is really puzzling.
Li Chengqi sat back in front of the computer after dinner, and of course he saw this scene. If it is said that in an encounter environment, the Subia Demon Kingdom army may use the natural environment and surprise attacks to pose a threat to an army that is stronger than its own, then in such a tough battle, it is basically impossible to win.
A great man once said that there is no such thing as the weak defeating the strong, it is always the strong defeating the weak. The main thing is whether it is overall strong or locally strong.
However, whether viewed from an overall or partial perspective, the Subia Demon Kingdom army does not have any advantage.
So Li Chengqi is also a little confused.
But he just thought about it for a while, and then his mind went blank.
It doesn't matter, I will take action.
No matter what secret weapons the Subia Demon Kingdom's army hides, as long as Li Chengqi takes action, they will be out of luck.
Or, even simpler, if you just rain down fire, these demoralized soldiers of the Subian Demon Kingdom will probably turn around and run away.
The reason why I didn't do this was because Aidas once said that it was best not to interfere too much in the mortal world. Although there is no actual evidence to prove the existence of the 'mortal curse', it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist. What if it happens?
Li Chengqi also decided to limit the intensity of intervention to the level of the greatest number of saints coming, and try not to be too big.
So when he saw the Subia Demon Kingdom's army advancing, he just watched for the time being and made no move yet.
But he could watch the show, and Viola and her army still had to keep their spirits up.
No matter how great the advantage is, people will eventually die in war. If you don't want to become one of the corpses, you have to be extremely careful.
The Demon King of Subia stepped closer step by step to the beat of drums, and the distance was so close that one could clearly see every trace of the shields in the hands of the soldiers with the naked eye.
At this time, an extremely loud horn sounded from Blackstone Fortress.
This special large silver horn required a bellows to produce sound. The loud sound instantly overshadowed the military drums of the Demonic Army of Subia, representing a signal.
Start a war.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Arrows flew like raindrops. Whether they were shot from the fortress to the outside of the city, or from outside the city to the inside of the fortress, the two sides must have been covered in rounds of arrow rain before they came into contact. The Subia Demon Kingdom army came directly from the country to Blackstone Fortress. In order to conceal their whereabouts, they did not pass any supplies on the way. The number of arrows they carried was obviously impossible to keep up with. They squatted in Blackstone Fortress for more than a month. Compared to Viola.
After three rounds of arrow rain, it was obvious that the archers of the Demon Kingdom of Subia began to be cautious, while Viola's archers continued to draw their bows as if the arrows were free of charge.
The supplies stored in Blackstone Fortress were enough for the archers to break their arms. This battle was very rich.
However, the Demon Kingdom of Subia relied on three rounds of arrow rain to cover it, and successfully caused many soldiers to rush to the bottom of the fortress. They began to use ladders with hooks to attack the city.
A large amount of wood and rolling stones were thrown down from the city wall. Fortunately, Viola didn't know what golden juice was, otherwise the scene under the city wall would have been even more unsightly.
As I said just now, the morale of the army in the Demon Kingdom of Subia is seriously low. Being able to rush under the city wall and shout twice is considered worthy of the salary paid by His Majesty the Demon King.
You want me to attack the city?
Really or fake, I’m going?
Rolling stones and wood were thrown down, breaking the ladder and destroying the soldiers' low morale. Not long after the battle began, soldiers were already fleeing.
Even before the siege tower built by the Subia Demon Kingdom army was pushed over, some people already wanted to retreat.
However, the supervising team completed their work very well, and the soldiers could only reluctantly try their best.
It is obviously unrealistic to rely on the supervising team to push people up. In fact, when the supervising team plays its role, that is when the army is no longer capable.
Of course, Isaac, as the commander, also saw all this very clearly.
"General, the battering ram has been hit hard and the front line can no longer advance."
The staff officer's words were actually very euphemistic. It was not a question of whether the battering ram could be delivered to the city gate, but that the soldiers simply had no morale.
Isaac is young, which is an advantage, but in the army, a young commander means inexperience, making it difficult to convince the crowd.
A large part of the reason for the original rout from Avarus was because Isaac's grandfather, the Tiger of the Kingdom, was dead. If he were still alive, even if the soldiers could not retreat, they would not be rout as if they were fleeing.
Isaac did not have enough ability and prestige to control the army's orderly retreat at the time, and he did not have the ability now to revive the low morale of the army.
To the soldiers and even the staff, Isaac was just a speculator who was on the right side of the coup. Although his grandfather had a great reputation, he was not very good.
"I see."
The staff officer only received this answer. It was difficult to say whether Isaac had understood the situation.
For soldiers and staff, going abroad to fight is not within their expectations. With the current state of the Subia Demon Kingdom, it is already the limit to resist the attack of the Guateni Demon Kingdom in the south, and they have specially allocated troops to do so. Helping the Tandelon Demon Kingdom is a bad move in itself.
The staff officer looked at Isaac, sighed, and said nothing more.
Isaac has changed a lot during this time. As a consultant who once assisted the Kingdom Tigers, he can no longer understand what Isaac is thinking now.
He never discussed strategy with his staff, and often whispered with a group of hidden guys. The passionate young man before seemed to have died suddenly. Now Isaac is gloomy and silent, with a chilling temperament.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the staff officer heard Isaac say:
"It's time to let the ambush take action."
The staff officer didn't think the so-called ambush would have much effect, but the order was there.
"According to your will."
At that moment, the staff officer seemed to see a shadow lingering on Isaac. Perhaps the god of death was ready to take him away.
