The enemies of Long'an City were very tenacious. Perhaps they were unwilling to give up their foundation to others. Jiang Jian and others were stunned and kept fighting from day to night.
No way, during the day, although most of the infantrymen of the Qingfeng Legion climbed up the city wall and fought with the enemy.
And with the blessing of defensive skills and many attributes, even mercenaries and high-level warriors who are much stronger than them can find it difficult to kill these infantry.
But this still cannot be changed. Most of those who rushed to the city wall were recruits of the Qingfeng Legion.
The foundation of this wave of recruits is very good. Except for some of the cavalry who come from herdsmen, most of the rest of the infantry come from believers.
These believers were indeed trained in combat. After just over a month of training in the military camp, they all advanced to level 2 infantry or trainee shooters, crossbowmen, etc.
The best among them are advanced level 3 light infantry or level 3 shooters.
However, even so, their level is still too low.
Low-level soldiers wear iron armor, and their defense and health may not be much different from those of high-level soldiers.
However, there are not even high-level weapons, and coupled with the weak strength of the low-level soldiers, they are unable to cause much damage to the middle- and high-level infantry.
Even with the blessing of the God of War Statue, which can increase the strength by one level, it is still difficult to break through the defense of mid-to-high-level enemies.
Not to mention on the city wall, Jiang Jian spared no effort to surround the entire mercenary guild, with a total of 4,5000 mercenaries.
These mercenaries have no other abilities, but they are still very good at saving lives.
Although no hero is so willing to arm himself, he still has one or two pieces of magic-level equipment.
The soldiers of the Qingfeng Legion generally use level 2 whiteboard daggers and level 3 whiteboard iron swords. Even with the blessing of god-level offensive skills, it is difficult to break through the defense.
Not to mention that level 3 and below, including level 3, are all low-level soldiers. When they fight with middle- and high-level soldiers, they are still suppressed by their level.
However, the infantry of Qingfeng Legion were unable to cause much damage.
The same goes for enemies.
Except for some mercenaries who occasionally use skills to cause some damage, those smart mercenaries don't even bother to use armor-breaking weapons and equipment.
After all, they are only level 2 or 3 infantry. They mainly wear leather armor and iron-inlaid leather armor, and they do not have much defensive power.
The basic defense power is only so much. If you use the best armor-piercing arrows, you can only break through those few points more, no matter how much you lose.
Infantry has a high health value. There are war statues to increase physical strength, sacred blood bottles to increase health, and commanders at all levels actively ask them to leave the frontline battlefield.
If you are recruiting soldiers, the squad leaders and squadron leaders are not easy to control, and their health needs to be controlled by themselves.
However, they were all recruiting infantry. With an order, the injured hid in the rear.
Of course, the Qingfeng Legion is not really free of casualties. After all, they are new recruits. There are always times when their minds are blank and they forget all the orders.
There were also people who were critically hit by the mercenaries and were instantly killed.
But in general, our casualties are not large.
From the time we climbed the city wall in the afternoon until it got dark, only 5,600 people were killed.
Xu Lai yawned out of boredom. After watching the battle for a day, he was really sleepy.
While the sky is not completely dark, take the initiative to ask someone to retreat.
Xu Lai returned the captured city to the opponent, and even Jiang Jian was stunned.
After all, with high morale and god-level offensive skills, we also have a huge advantage in numbers, and the city walls and other things have been occupied long ago.
The remaining enemies all retreated into the castle.
Jiang Jian also knew that once he was surrounded by people in the castle, he would basically just wait to die.
But when he was about to despair, all his enemies ran away.
Of course, as the actual victor, Xu Lai was not beaten away, but retreated proactively and calmly.
This difference is still huge, because except for the corpses of Long'an City guards and temporarily hired mercenaries, not even half of the enemy's corpses were found in the city.
Although Jiang Jian on the city wall did not understand what Xu Lai wanted to do, it did not prevent him from taking out the gold coins from the castle and settling the wages of the mercenaries on the spot.
Jiang Jian no matter what Xu Lai wants to do, he has already determined that this is Xu Lai's humiliation to him.
Therefore, even if he has to spend all his wealth and give up everything, he will do his best to embarrass Xu Lai and prevent him from easily seizing the city.
Of course, he didn't know that Xu Lai didn't care about his thoughts and actions at all.
He just wanted to train more.
After all, night is not suitable for fighting. In addition, after fighting for a long time on the battlefield, the soldiers' physical strength and energy were exhausted.
Xu Lai is here to train troops, not to use the soldiers as consumables. Of course, he must take care of the soldiers' physical and mental health.
At the same time, he was unwilling to waste his daily resurrection quota, so he rushed to end today's battle before 12 o'clock.
Moreover, only after the battle is over can Rena change the treasure and remove the forbidden magic ball.
Without the restrictions of the forbidden magic ball, the priests brought by Xu Lai have a place to use this time.
Treat by treatment, rest by rest, advance by advance, and rush to use up today’s resurrection energy before 12 o’clock.
Although there are many dead warriors, their levels are low, and their resurrection is not affected by the effects of sacred blood bottles and defensive spells. It does not even have the 5-physique bonus of the God of War statue.
In the battle with the orcs in the stronghold, Xu Lai acquired nearly 50 Seraphim. With the addition of archangels in the past few months, the number of angel legions was already considerable.
Especially the number of Seraphs has exceeded the 150 mark and is heading straight towards 200.
With so many angels, the amount of resurrections is also astonishingly high. The amount of resurrections of Seraph alone is close to 100,000. Adding in the amount of archangels, it can almost resurrect more than 110,000 health points.
The average basic health of a level 2 or level 3 infantryman is about 120 points.
The soldiers Xu Lai recruited have good basics and relatively high physical fitness.
But even if the average life value is 150 points, the Angel Legion can resurrect more than 700 warriors.
There is no doubt that such an astonishing amount of resurrections brought all the soldiers who died today back to their feet.
It happened that the battle report also arrived at this time. The results were not very brilliant. More than 2,000 knights, more than 3,000 shooters, 5,000 infantry of all levels and more than 1,000 mercenaries were killed. In the end, there were more than 4,000 Militiamen and Peasants.
The results of the battle of more than 10,000 people are not astonishing compared to any battle in Xu Lai's past.
Fortunately, this time the weak defeated the strong. They used trainee infantrymen and trainee shooters with an average level of only 2 levels to kill enemies with an average level of 4.
The average difference of 2 levels, when applied to 10,000 people, is a huge experience reward.
Xu Lai came out to upgrade and specially brought the ring with unlimited gold coins on him.
At this time, directly change it, and directly and boldly advance all the soldiers that can be advanced.
In this battle, a full 8,000 people advanced, and more than 200 people advanced directly twice. After the advancement, it was not straightforward. Xu Lai asked Yu Lan to pass on his order and hand over the list of all those who had advanced for the second time.
Although we are training new soldiers this time, the soldiers can be new, but the officers leading the team cannot.
Just like Brandi, he was obviously the commander of the entire infantry regiment, but at this time, he was pulled over by Xu Lai to lead the new soldiers.
There is no way, the recruits are recruits after all. When they go to the battlefield, they may not even know the front, rear, left, and right. If they are red-eyed, they may be able to kill their own people.
Someone must be able to guide them, and grassroots officers play this key role.
However, when the Qingfeng Legion fights separately, officers can be temporarily deployed. What about the future?
So in order to train this new recruit, in addition to the new recruits needing to be familiar with the battlefield and improve their ranks, the grassroots officers must also be able to keep up.
The more than 200 people who have advanced for the second time are either very talented, or some have personal talents, such as natural divine power.
Others have more training and have higher basic skills, such as one-handed weapons and long-range weapons with higher levels and higher damage bonuses, so the damage caused will naturally be higher.
Of course, there are also those who are lucky, have more last hits, or are more brave.
In short, even if these people are just lucky and can advance twice, it shows that they have their own characteristics and are the best candidates for training.
And they were appointed as junior officers, and others were more convinced, not only because they advanced more, but also because they killed more enemies.
After completing several major tasks, Xu Lai asked Tahan to arrange for the knights to stay on duty overnight so that all the recruits could have a good night's rest.
This time out, Chivalry is basically a nanny, escorting people on the road and patrolling at night.
The recruits, who had had a good night's rest, launched the attack on Long'an City again the next day with a completely new attitude and a higher level.
Everything is a replica of yesterday. The difference is that the number of troops in Long'an City today has been greatly reduced.
So many militiamen died yesterday, and Jiang Jian's lack of troops could not act as a deterrent, and he could no longer recruit strong men to defend the city.
On the other hand, most of the mercenaries still abide by their duties because of the pleasure given by Jiang Jian's money.
After losing more than 10,000 people, the city wall was easily captured today. Before nightfall, even the castle of Long'an City was captured.
If Jiang Jian could concentrate his troops and defend the smaller castle, he might be able to hold on for a few days without Xu Lai investing high-level troops.
However, he couldn't let go of the small gains in the outer city wall, but he didn't want to think about how to defend the city wall without a long range that even strong men could not catch.
As a result, there were already few manpower, and another group of people died on the city wall.
When the mercenaries saw that something was going wrong, most of them ran away before entering the castle. The remaining few couldn't make any waves.
Xu Lai has founded a country and become the king of a country.
The king has the right to wage war. During the war, killing heroes of the same camp will not reduce his favorability and reputation.
As early as when he was under Long'an City, Xu Lai declared war on Long'an City and Wasteland City.
Therefore, Xu Lai is no longer as cautious as before.
The heroes who were willing to surrender were only imprisoned in the dungeons of Long'an City and among the arrows. Those who refused to surrender were directly killed on the spot.
As for the hero’s space backpack, Aaron and the others also provided Xu Lai with an excellent solution.
All you need to do is remove the equipment from the heroes, and then restrain their hands and feet so that the heroes cannot take things out.
The items in the space backpack can be controlled into the hands through thoughts, but they must be used in conjunction with the action of taking out the items.
Otherwise, the things in the space backpack may fly away at random thoughts.
After using shackles and the like to restrain your hands, no matter how many props you have in your space backpack, it will be useless.
After taking Long'an City, Xu Lai rested on the spot for two days while hunting down all the mercenaries who participated in the battle and their mercenary groups.
They may have been paid to fight, but after all they attacked Xu Lai and were considered enemies.
Two days later, Xu Lai left behind a thousand-man cavalry regiment, as well as security guards and other officials waiting to be sent by Su Ya from the rear.
He took a large force and continued to march towards Wasteland City.
The plot of Wasteland City is similar to that of Long'an City.
Xu Lai still used his catapult first to smash down the arrow towers and catapults on the city wall.
Then send phantom shooters to clear out the opponent's long-range troops at fixed points.
Finally, send the rest of your own shooters to the city wall for long-range suppression.
Send infantry to carry siege ladders, climb the city wall, and engage the enemy in close combat.
Although there are not enough soldiers of the Qingfeng Legion, more than 10,000 people have advanced through two battles, and the average level has also been raised to level 3.
But Wasteland City has more troops than Long'an City.
After all, Wasteland City had a few more days to prepare, recruited and purchased more soldiers, and also accepted some defeated soldiers who escaped from Long'an City.
They even borrowed a support army from another city that was not controlled by the descending heroes.
But even though the number of warriors is nearly double that of the people in Long'an City, their fighting will is much lower than that of the people in Long'an City.
Before it got dark, just at dusk, the enemy not only lost the city wall, but even the castle.
Seeing that the enemy was about to be defeated, Xu Lai decisively called for gold to withdraw his troops and give them a night's rest.
The next day, Xu Lai sent troops to block all the gates in the four directions of Wasteland City.
With their retreat completely blocked, the Wasteland City army must either surrender, or they can only fight with all their might with the determination to die.
No matter which one it is, Xu Lai can accept it.
If they surrender, the heroes will be locked up, and the ordinary soldiers will be recruited or returned to the people to replenish the population.
Recruit soldiers and recruit them directly to increase your own strength.
It's okay if you don't surrender. Anyway, it's for leveling. Xu Lai is afraid that people will run away and lose the experience pack.
As for the madness arising from the desire to die, it did create some trouble for Xu Lai.
The main reason is that even if spell casting is restricted, heroes have more or less life-saving skills, such as alchemy bombs, advanced summoning stones, magic scrolls and the like.
Unfortunately, even if some soldiers were blown to pieces and could not even be resurrected, they were still within the range that Xu Lai could bear.
It is said that kindness cannot lead troops. Xu Lai has led troops for so long. He is no longer the ordinary young man who couldn't bear any sacrifice.
Of course, Xu Lai will not give a good end to those who dare to do this.
Even when he knelt down to beg for mercy, he still had his head cut off and hung on the city gate as a warning. (End of this chapter)
