Jiang Jian and the others are still somewhat capable. Under the long-term suppression, they did not have much strength at the beginning.
However, the more advanced the treasure chest, the higher the level of the wild monsters guarding it, and the number is terrifying.
Even if you are a hero, it is not easy to challenge these difficult wild monsters without soldiers.
Moreover, the more troops there are, the stronger the hero’s specialization effect will be.
Jiang Jian and the others then developed a method of fighting against the enemy's morale.
The morale of wild monsters is generally not too high, and is basically at the normal morale stage of 45-74.
If you find some well-equipped heroes, let all the priest heroes treat these well-equipped heroes, and others will assist in output.
Because the people in front are well equipped, the damage they receive is not high and their output is high, so they can steadily hold back the hatred.
As long as there is a priest for treatment, basically as long as the attack power is not really abnormal and the wild monster can kill people when charging, no matter how strong the wild monster is, it can be slowly killed.
Since these people have organized a guild, they naturally play a lot of games on weekdays.
When playing various dungeons, the first priority is to be able to tank the tank.
So these knights are equipped with top-notch damage reduction equipment. Even the attacks of the phantom shooters are just scratching the itch.
Of course, no equipment is completely exempt. Most of their damage reduction is physical damage. What they have to face are spells, so they can only wait for death.
They just saw that there seemed to be no mage in Xu Lai's team, so they dared to rush forward bravely.
However, Rena is still equipped with the Forbidden Magic Ball, and neither party can actively cast spells, which instead helps them avoid this problem.
Xu Lai trained all physical units, and the opponent's heroes far outnumbered his own, so using spells would be quite uneconomical for his own side.
The most important thing is that our own side must form a regiment, but the enemy does not have this need.
Those heroes can use strategic spells as long as they bring some soldiers with them.
Even if they can't learn high-level spells, they just throw a thunderbolt and kill some of Xu Lai's soldiers, Xu Lai will still be at a loss.
This is not impossible. In fact, when fighting the stronghold, the mercenaries Xu Lai recruited liked to do this.
The mercenaries live in the grasslands, so their riding skills are naturally not low, and the orcs generally cannot catch up with them.
Get close to it, cast a few spells, and then run away on horseback. After a few trips back and forth, you can easily kill several times the number of orcs on your side.
The mercenaries released only ordinary spells, while the heroes released strategic spells.
If there is no way, forget it. If there is a way, Xu Lai still wants to reduce the losses and does not want to be led by the enemy.
The morale of the wild monsters is not high. As long as they survive the most difficult period, they will soon receive a negative morale buff.
When their morale reaches zero and they are defeated, even the first-level militiamen can be sent out with confidence to slaughter them wantonly.
Jiang Jian’s idea is actually right, using a hero with luxurious equipment to take a wave of long-range damage.
As long as these 3,000 cavalry are approaching, those low-level soldiers who are similar to militiamen, no matter how strong the heroes they lead, will be like chickens and dogs.
If you kill thousands of people at will, your own morale will inevitably increase greatly, and the enemy's morale will inevitably decrease greatly.
At that time, even if the enemy's cavalry looks very powerful and has a strong negative buff, it may not be our opponent.
But he didn't expect that the tactics that used to be victorious in every battle against wild monsters, with tens of thousands of wild monster groups fighting and winning, were now on the verge of collapse with just a hail of arrows.
The most important reasons why Jiang Jian’s tactics were successful in the past were actually two points.
First, it can ensure that the front row will not die. As long as they are not killed, they can always be pulled back by taking medicine and treatment.
The second thing is that Jiang Jian is also generous and knows to prioritize arming these life-threatening tanks in the front row.
They ran to the grassland, ventured deep into hell, and opened countless treasure boxes. The good things they found were basically armed with them.
Immortality and huge benefits made these heroes willing to work for Jiang Jian, and even elected him as the city lord.
Unfortunately, the opponent Jiang Jian and the others encountered this time was not a wild monster, but Xu Lai.
The morale is like a rainbow plus the ultimate prayer, ultimate archery and the phantom shooter known as the strongest shooter.
This combination was so sharp that in one salvo, more than 50 knight heroes with slightly inferior equipment were killed in seconds.
Due to the destruction of the Western Empire, except for a few heroes who surrendered to Hell, almost all the descending heroes of the Western Empire poured into several cities on the border.
In Long'an City alone, there are nearly 500 advent heroes, which is not a small number.
However, among the enemy's small number of shooters, one-tenth were wiped out in one salvo, and they were still the one-tenth with the best equipment.
The shock brought by this is really too great.
Others are far away on the city wall and may not feel much.
But beside those knights who died in battle, the other 50 knight heroes, at this moment, their hearts sank directly to the bottom.
Because this time it was a charge, the priest could not keep up, and naturally he had no time to heal.
Not only did they wear the best equipment, but they also specially added buffs before charging. Each of them carried two non-conflicting treatment methods.
But at this time, most people were killed without even having time to use any method.
The remaining 50 knights have very little health left. Even if they can get their health back by taking potions, they may not be able to survive the next round of arrows.
Sure enough, in less than two seconds, the phantom shooters had completed a series of operations of taking arrows, aiming and shooting.
The next wave of arrows came earlier than expected.
Some of the recruited knights who came up to help them share some of the damage, but Giselle and the others were still mainly targeting these extraordinarily dazzling knight heroes.
The unique luxury equipment on his body allows enemies to distinguish them at a glance.
As a tank, every knight has a high health value. However, there are not many top-level health potions, and many people are not satisfied with their health value at all.
Coupled with the fact that this wave of arrows is targeting them even more, the number of arrows each person has to bear has increased by almost one third.
When the arrows rained down, in addition to the dozens of recruited knights who fell, most of the remaining knight heroes who were less than 50 were lost.
Now, the remaining dozen or so strongest heroes could no longer hold on. They knew that if they didn’t run away, they would definitely die in the next round.
There is no way, the last life-saving item, the Life Stone, can only replenish 500 points of health, which is not enough.
And most of the companions around him are missing. Even if knights are recruited to fill in, everyone will suffer at least half more damage.
Not to mention taking half the additional damage, even the damage at the beginning was not something they could bear. Several knight heroes hurriedly grabbed the reins of their horses, trying to stop them.
However, they forgot that they were in the middle of charging at this time. Although they stopped, the friendly forces behind them would not stop.
With a bang, several knights who were reining in their horses were knocked off their horses by the recruiting knights behind them. They stumbled over countless knights behind them and were trampled on.
The others were smarter and knew they could not stop at this time, so they controlled the horses to spread out from both sides before they had time to make contact.
It doesn't matter if they run to both sides. The thousands of recruiting knights behind them are naturally led by heroes or generals before they can charge.
The hero with thousands of knights hanging there has the best equipment and the most health, and he still has half of his health at this time.
However, now, he has completely forgotten that he is leading more than 2,000 knights, and is just running away for his own life.
Of course those knights followed their coach and circled a big windlass in front of the Qingfeng Legion's position.
As soon as they ran away, Xu Lai really let them go and ordered the trainee archers and trainee crossbowmen in the formation to shoot arrows.
The attack range of these archers and crossbowmen is not far. If the enemy is hiding on the city wall, they will probably have to go under the city wall to have a chance to shoot.
However, these knights were sent in front of the shooters themselves. Some of them were unable to turn around and were even sent within the best shooting range of the shooters.
Although these shooters are only level 2 or 3, with the blessing of the Angel Alliance and the God of War Statue, the basic offense and defense alone have increased by a full 26 points.
21 points of attack and defense, plus the 5 points of strength from the God of War statue, equals 26 points of basic damage, not counting the tactical bonus.
Coupled with the morale buff and prayer buff, in addition to the range, the damage is comparable to level 5, 6, or even level 7 wild monster shooters.
In addition, among these 50,000 people, there are more than 10,000 archers. With one round of crossbow arrows, at least 7,800 riders fell.
This is because most shooters can only shoot blindly into the sky.
If Xu Lai could spread out the shooters as much as possible and form the most advantageous shooting formation, he might be able to kill half of the knights in one salvo.
The remaining half is because there are people in front of you blocking it, otherwise you will die.
On the city wall, Jiang Jian and others' eyes almost popped out when they saw this scene.
"You, please help me see, are those shooters really only level 2 or level 3?"
Jiang Jian himself had reconnaissance skills, and Xu Lai did not use the camouflage technique on the troops. When he approached two days ago, he had already detected Xu Lai's strength.
He can be sure that the infantry led by Xu Lai are indeed mainly 2nd and 3rd level.
Otherwise, he would not dare to let people attack the formation of more than 50,000 people.
But he never expected that with just a simple salvo, one-third of the cavalry unit he had built up would be wiped out.
You know, there are many level 6 knights here that he gritted his teeth and upgraded to, and their defense power is only slightly inferior to those heroes.
The knights were very fast, and the archers were not slow in replacing their arrows, and soon launched the second round of volley
With Xu Lai just sitting in, there was a tactical increase and a speed effect, and every time A marksman almost always increases his agility by nearly 10 points.
The 5-point full attribute of the Angel Alliance and the God of War Statue is the most terrifying increase for low-level troops.
With a total of 26 attack and defense points and 30 attribute increases, even an ordinary level 2 trainee marksman can be instantly upgraded to the level of a level 5 marksman.
In this case, as long as the infantry in the front row can restrain their fear, even if the enemy really rushes in, they will only rely on the charge effect to kill a few hundred infantry in the front row.
They don't even have the ability to quickly open a gap, and the cavalry that charges later may not have the environment to deal with it.
Of course, because it was the first recruit on the battlefield, Xu Lai could not guarantee that it would be best to shoot all the leaders to death.
The second wave of arrow rain, due to the sudden decrease in the number of enemies, the density was much sparser, and the hit rate was at least reduced by more than half.
After shooting 500 people to death, the third wave of arrows could only chase the enemy's butts. Many of them reached the edge of the extreme range. Even fewer people died, only more than 300.
But even so, the enemy just turned a corner in front of the large formation and was almost wiped out.
The last knight who ran back, plus the few surviving knight heroes, was actually less than a thousand.
Jiang Jian wanted to undermine Xu Lai's morale, but as a result, none of the enemies were killed, and his own morale almost collapsed.
Fortunately, Long'an City also mainly recruits soldiers, and the number of soldiers recruited is not large.
“Go, take out all the money from the warehouse and hire all the mercenaries from the mercenary guild.
In addition, push all the ballistas to the city wall and push the refugees Bring them all together and give them some stones.”
On the city wall, Jiang Jian desperately made the final arrangements.
Under the city wall, Xu Lai just pushed forward slowly, and then ordered the phantom shooters to eliminate the enemy's long-range power at targeted locations.
There are many enemy archers who are high-level, and with the blessing of arrow towers, their range is not inferior to that of the phantom archers.
And with the damage bonus of the arrow tower, even if the Phantom Archer's Phantom Heavy Bow can ignore the city wall and reduce damage, the damage will not be reduced much.
The hero in charge of archers naturally also has the ultimate archery skill. The only difference is probably that the phantom archer also has the blessing of special defense skills.
The damage reduction effect of our own shooter is ignored by the phantom shooter, and the defensive skill level is not as good as Reina's, not to mention that Reina has a defensive skill.
The 5 points of constitution of the God of War statue can bring 5 points of basic defense and 25 points of health to the phantom shooter.
Coupled with the sacred blood bottle, almost every phantom shooter has the health of a level 8 shooter.
In this case, the number of phantom shooters is not lower than that of the opponent, and they are blessed with special defensive skills. Obviously, the opponent's shooter fell first.
After all the casualties of the opponent's shooters, our own level 2 and level 3 shooters can finally advance to the moat with confidence.
Just under the city wall, suppress fire on the infantry on the wall.
Then a large number of our own infantry, led by Brandi and other captains, bravely climbed up the enemy's city wall.
First the knights, then the shooters, the morale of the soldiers in Long'an City has already had negative effects.
This made the infantry of Long'an City, which was already inferior to the opponent, even less able to resist.
If it weren't for Jiang Jian and other heroes who were still resisting and occasionally killing one or two infantrymen, Xu Lai might have been able to capture Long'an City without any injuries.
However, Xu Lai had already given orders, and there was no need for the soldiers of the Qingfeng Legion to take Long'an City immediately.
Any injured warrior can first find a safe place to rest.
After Long'an City is captured, the priests accompanying the army will provide treatment. (End of this chapter)
