Magic ammunition and magic cannon are a perfect match. Ground bombs are not expensive. The most important thing is that the production requirements are low and they can be mass-produced.
After being attacked several times by magic ammunition, the hellhounds were not fools and they all dispersed.
After the formation dispersed, the attack range of the ground bombs became larger, but the kill rate was significantly reduced.
But even so, being beaten and unable to fight back left these hellhounds at a loss.
Soon, the latest order came from the heroes at the rear, ordering the Cerberus to retreat, and all the three-headed Cerberus to charge collectively.
Cerberus is still very useful for hunting down refugees. The demon hero does not want his Cerberus to suffer too many casualties.
As for the three-headed hell dogs, they have three heads to attack and are good at group battles. It would be too wasteful not to use them.
In addition to ordering the three-headed hell dog to charge, the demon hero named Matthias also couldn't help but speed up his pace.
The report of the winged demons aroused Matthias' vigilance. He knew that the enemy had heroes standing guard.
Even if it is just a hero Arvid finds randomly, as long as he has offensive, defensive and archery skills, the strength of the army will be improved by several levels.
The location where the hellhounds are located has already reached the limit of his radiation.
He is just an ordinary hell hero, with no talent, no special skills, and his level is only over 20, less than 30.
A level of more than 20 is considered high among human heroes, but not high among demons, otherwise they would not be assigned to the fringe.
Therefore, his specialized radiation ability is not even half of Xu Lai's, or at most one-third.
It is more difficult to upgrade a hero's level as the player progresses, but with each level up, the radiation range of the hero's abilities also increases.
Fortunately, he had been bombarded for a long time before, and if he accelerated again, he was still sure to catch up with the charge.
The four-legged three-headed hellhound can run very fast.
However, the distance between the two sides is more than 5 kilometers. Even if a car drives 120 yards, it will take 3 minutes to complete the run.
The three-headed hellhound, even if it runs and vomits blood, can't get close to the human position for less than 3 or 5 minutes.
During these 3 or 5 minutes, the secondary guns of the Jiangshang cruiser also started firing salvos.
At first, these three-headed hell dogs hid far away, but when they charged, they were already within the range of the secondary guns.
Only one side of the cruiser can fire secondary guns, but in total, there are dozens of them, and as the secondary guns of the magic cannon, they are equally powerful.
Even if the standard ammunition of the whiteboard is used, it will be a big hole with a diameter of seven or eight meters.
The three-headed hell dogs are not small in size. Even if they are scattered, their numbers are there. A cannonball will kill at least several of them and send them flying.
In one salvo, at least 3,400 hellhounds were killed or injured.
The key is the holes made on the ground, which greatly affects the running of the Cerberus behind.
Because these hellhounds have a low center of gravity, a knight on horseback will most likely fall into these potholes.
While taking advantage of this period, two teams of 400 priests, led by two Qingfeng City bishops, landed ashore and arranged themselves behind the shooter.
These priests have never been on the battlefield since they were brought out.
In several siege battles, after the battle, Rena unloaded the forbidden magic ball and allowed these priests to take action.
Therefore, after several battles, the priests did not gain much experience, and the improvement was not large, and they still remained at the level of fifth-level priests.
These priests are all recruited from Qingfeng City, and some occasionally circulate on the market, so the number is not large.
Including the bishops and high priests who advanced through mountain fortresses in the Northern Empire before Xu came, the total number was only over 3,000.
But these more than 3,000 priests were all recruited.
If Xu Lai needs it, Duer and the others can organize another group of priests or priests with about 5,000 people.
Because of the forbidden magic ball, the priests who led the team also held it in for a long time.
As soon as they stood still, they began to command the priest to bless the warriors in the front row with blessings and shields.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, although Xu Lai could only appoint 3 generals, he could appoint more than 3,000 generals at the captain level.
However, unlike upgrading with a captain order, the appointed captain is a job. There will be no new captain effect, and it cannot be appointed to recruit soldiers.
Similar to generals, once a captain commits treason, his effect will disappear, and the same will apply if his appointment is revoked.
At the same time, unlike Yan Feng and others, they can command different types of troops. They can only command soldiers of the same identity.
For example, these priest captains from Qingfeng City can only command and control priest apprentices, priests, priests, bishops, etc.
Although the appointed positions are relatively restrictive, after all, it greatly liberates the work of generals and heroes.
Otherwise, the commander can only issue general orders such as attack and defense, and will not be able to do more detailed work.
The blessing spell can increase the attack and defense by 5 points, and the shield spell can resist 100 points of magic damage for the front row warriors.
The three heads of the three-headed hell dog are flame spray, physical attack and acid attack.
The latter is okay, it just reduces the defense a little, while the former is magic damage and is not affected by defense.
With the addition of these two spells, Xu Lai ordered the front row of infantry and spearmen to take the initiative to meet him.
Being passively beaten is not what he came to do today.
What's more, the landing port is already full of people. The infantry are not allowed to move forward to make some space, and the people in the transport ship behind cannot get out.
The infantry who had already filled up the 4th level of the formation were arranged in a relatively orderly manner, advancing forward without fear.
Although they are all soldiers who have only been recruited for more than two months, as believers of the God of War, they are originally full of courage and have no fear.
After joining Xu Lai's subordinates, I have more meat and food every time. Although the amount of training is large, the taste is much better than before.
With the support of the God of War statue, he can win many battles and be resurrected by angels even if he is sacrificed, so he is naturally fearless.
The so-called soldiers have enough food and supplies, and the soldiers serve their lives well, it is nothing more than this.
The spear, which was more than 3 meters long, had not been thrust out yet. It was just holding it diagonally, which was already terrifying enough.
The three-headed hell dog charging forward had no time to face this terrifying forest of spears. It was the first to face the dense rain of arrows thrown towards it.
The arrow rain thrown by the level 4 long archer can only cause 20% damage.
Even with Xu Lai's bonus, the damage more than doubled, but he could still only scratch the three-headed hell dog with advanced defense skills.
Of course, as long as the quantity is enough, even scraping can kill many people.
The phantom marksman at the rear had a decent range, but the target was too far away, and there were shooters and infantry blocking the front, so the line of sight was blocked.
Only Giselle, who climbed on the top of the No. 2 Cruiser Watchtower, had a high view and a terrifying range, so she could deal damage without any scruples. As a title ranger, Giselle lets go of her hand to output. Xu Lai has never seen how terrifying it can be.
Even in the dungeon, Giselle had never done her full output before, not to mention that now there was a terrifying buff like attack acceleration.
But although Giselle was within range, she was not in a hurry to take action.
The long archers at the rear fired two consecutive rounds, only killing dozens of three-headed hell dogs.
Judging from the huge number of Cerberus, even if the cruisers are included in the battle results, it can only be regarded as a slight bleeding without any injury to the muscles and bones.
Seeing the torrent of Cerberus about to collide with the still not thick human formation, Giselle, who had been charging for a long time, finally released her ultimate move.
An arrow embodying the terrifying power of the Title Ranger, carrying 9 phantom arrows, formed a bolt of lightning with terrifying speed.
Lightning instantly poured into the charging Cerberus, like a huge plow, plowing a straight line through the Cerberus.
All creatures in this straight line, as long as they touch this lightning, even if they just touch a toe, they will be torn to pieces in an instant.
Giselle, who shot the arrow, pulled the cable and slid down to the deck at an extremely fast speed.
The panting Giselle was hugged by Xu Lai as soon as she landed on the ground.
Giselle, who had no strength, fell limply in Xu Lai's arms to regain her strength. The force she used in the blow just now was several times more than what was shown in the dungeon, but she was exhausted.
The cruiser was very big. Xu Lai stood on the deck and looked out, leaning on the railing, but he no longer felt any shaking.
In the first confrontation between the two sides, the humans directly won.
The Cerberus's impact is very fierce, and it also has the master-level offensive skills attached to Mathias.
However, the harder they impact, the characteristics of the spearmen will make them pay a greater price for their spears.
The first wave of hellhounds were almost all suicidal attacks.
They are huge enough, and even after penetrating a spear blessed with god-level offensive skills, they are already dead.
The dead Cerberus was naturally unable to cause any more damage to the heavy infantry in front of it.
Only the three-headed hell dog behind him used the corpse of the hell dog in front to pounce on the shield-holding infantry.
The spearmen must first retract part of their spears and remove the three-headed hell dog attached to the spears.
The shield infantry did not wait for the attack of the three-headed dogs. Instead, under the leadership of Brandi, they fought with the hellhounds with swords.
The three-headed dog is a level 5 unit, one level higher than the heavy infantry, and the heavy infantry are equipped with heavy armor and large shields, and their attack power is not high.
But one of the two sides only has expert-level offensive skills, while the other has god-level offensive skills.
This alone is enough to make up for the gap in attack power.
The infantry also has the full attribute bonus of the God of War statue, which makes up for a lot of the gap in strength.
After struggling to chop, the three-headed dog, which only had advanced defense skills, could not bear it at all, and blood flowed from the knife.
If you are lucky, you can cut the neck with a knife, or trigger a critical hit attribute such as a lucky strike, or even behead an owl or seriously injured with a knife.
The difference between the infantry with full morale and the Cerberus with low morale is not to mention only one level. Even if they come to another level, they are not afraid.
The three-headed hellhound is huge, and the three-headed hellhound behind him cannot help even if he wants to.
This is also a shortcoming of the infantry array. Even if Xu Lai has laid out the formation long enough, the nearly 10,000 infantrymen are only arranged in about 4 layers.
The only ones that can be fought are the heavy infantry on the first level and the pikemen on the second level.
The soldiers behind you can at most help with their bodies to resist the impact of the soldiers in the front row.
In the fierce battle, even if the hellhounds kept falling, it would still be a huge test for the physical strength and health of the front row warriors.
Fortunately, there are constant healing from priests behind me.
Even if you can't see it, you just need to aim in the direction and cast a group healing spell.
Ordinary recruiting priests don’t know many spells. It is enough to be able to use healing spells to ensure the health of the front row warriors.
Several priest captains are constantly using group rejuvenation, group recovery and other spells to restore life and physical strength.
With 5 points of physical strength blessed by the statue of the God of War, the soldiers in the first two rows persisted for a while.
The first one to collapse was still the three-headed hell dog.
On the one hand, they have to bear the high-throwing blows of the shooters, and on the other hand, they also have to bear the huge gap in attributes, offense and defense between the two sides.
The three heads, who are good at group attacks, were also able to offset most of the damage caused by the priests' shields and Xu Lai's ultimate resistance.
This made the three-headed hell dogs, whose morale had been declining since they received the bombardment, becoming more and more powerless as the war progressed.
Our own team members all showed a negative state of morale, but the enemy became more and more courageous as they fought. In addition to a slight decrease in physical strength, the health value was as if it had been glued, and they refused to move.
If it weren't for these infantry, their morale would have been as high as before. After fighting for an hour or two, I'm afraid they would have been full.
The hellhounds are like pitiful experience packs.
The arrow rain behind the infantry did not stop for a moment, and new longbowmen continued to join.
But the reinforcements of the Cerberus stopped firmly outside the fire range of the cruiser's secondary guns.
Mathias did not dare to risk his life. If he was shot, even Xu Lai would lose half his life, let alone Mathias.
Although the cannonball was not big, the hole it made was not small. If the hell troops rushed over to support it, it would only increase a lot of damage in vain.
The most important thing is that after Mathias climbed up, he could confirm that human troops had landed on a large scale.
Since he failed to drive the humans into the sea in one breath, Matthias no longer wanted to fight the humans in this place.
The other side has ships on the river as cover. Within 4 or 5 kilometers nearby, everyone will be exposed to the opposite gunfire and suffer a lot of losses.
Matthias didn't even dare to come forward with his personal guards and use a dispersal method to dispel the state of the human being.
You know, the longer the battle lasts, the more terrifying the condition of those humans becomes.
Xu Lai releases a spell every once in a while, first to the Cerberus's weakness, and then to his own body-protecting aegis, Holy Spirit Yuzu.
After being idle for a period of time, and seeing that the enemy hero has not appeared, I added the light of destruction to the Cerberus that lowered the defense, and added a perfect shot to my long-range troops.
Now that the Cerberus troops have completely collapsed, the infantry have begun pursuit mode.
Otherwise, if you persist for a while, all the Cerberus will have to advance to the Great Demon level to be qualified to fight against these level 4 infantry. (End of this chapter)
