Chapter 461: Breaking through the first line of defense, shocking troops

"The Four Alliance forces are deployed on this section of the eastern city wall."

"The dragon bone golem is in the center."

"The original Blood Forest giant is placed in the west."

"Three areas, the number of legions serving as human shields in front is no less than 3,000."

"The main reason is that considering the narrow terrain, it is difficult for our large-scale troops to deploy."

"But in order to reserve space for subsequent replenishment of the legion."

"Between the three armies, a channel for rapid retreat and replenishment needs to be left."

"And behind the three human shield armies attacking the city, place the little murlocs respectively."

"We currently have as many as 300,000 little fishmen."

“One hundred thousand deployed in each area.”

"The fishmen are smaller in size and can be deployed in larger numbers to form a dense fire attack."

"Also, small fishmen can be placed on giants."

"When giants come to the city, attack from the shoulders of giants."

Inside the siege camp.

Christian quickly marked the offensive troop layout on the map.

And wait for her to say.

Vivian asked from the side.

"What about the mage?"

"Our mage army will not participate in the attack?"

Christian shook his head.

"of course not."

"The mage army will be used to suppress the counterattack at the top of the city."

"The Flame Mage uses the legion skill Bolide, and its attack range is quite far."

"This time, the lord has deployed 10,000 flame magicians. I plan to use them to cast bolide to suppress the counterattack at the top of the city."

"Divide the ten thousand flame mages into different batches and attack the defenders at the top of the city in batches."

"As long as the defenders at the top of the city are suppressed, the siege army under the city wall will take the opportunity to board the city."

"This can greatly reduce the casualties of our soldiers being blocked outside the city wall."

"As for wind mages, their attack range is relatively close."

"Participating in the attack will easily be counterattacked by the construct archers on the city wall."

"So we will not participate in this battle for the time being. As a reserve army, we will wait for the general attack before launching an attack."

"There is also the Flying Legion."

"Assis and Fiona."

"The number of Dragon Eagle Knights is small and cannot be lost in siege battles."

"I need you to roam around and monitor the perimeter of the northern defense line."

"At the same time, look for opportunities to break into the city and kill the magic crystal cannon army hidden in the city."

"But remember, you need to wait until the Magic Crystal Cannon Legion has no guards before taking action."

"If there are magic crystal gun infantry regiments and thorn flower magic pattern knights stationed around them."

"If you risk a surprise attack at this time, you can easily be ambushed and your entire army will be annihilated."

Fiona bowed slightly.

"As commanded."

Then she looked at Asis.

"The main task of the Griffin Knight in the early stage is to guard the Griffin counterattack in the city."

"Especially be careful when they send gryphon knights to suddenly rush towards our mage army."

"When releasing legion spells, the Flame Mage cannot be interrupted."

"Once interrupted, there will be a backlash from the magic."

"so!"

"Assis, you must place all the gryphon knights on the sides of the three siege legions."

"To cover them from being counterattacked by the air corps in the city."

"At the same time, once the army can rush to the city."

"You have to lead the Griffin Knights to keep pace."

"Towards the depth of the northern defense line."

"Look for opportunities to cut off the infantry supporting the city wall."

"This will cover our capture of the city wall."

Asis nodded and then asked again.

"Christian, if I can find the location of the Magic Crystal Cannon Corps, can I choose to conduct a tentative attack?"

"Reconnaissance for Fiona's Dragonhawk Knights for any ambush."

"If not, we will eliminate the Magic Crystal Cannon Legion in one fell swoop."

"I think that in the next siege, the magic crystal cannon legion will be the greatest threat."

Christian nodded.

"Can."

"But don't go there yourself, just send the gryphon knight to test it."

Assis responded solemnly.

"As commanded."

Finally Christian turned his attention to the hero beside him.

"Because the shield was broken, all of us except Lilith's forbidden spell has been restored."

"The rest of the people have not fully recovered their strength."

"So for this siege, it is forbidden to enter the city before receiving my order for a general attack."

"Our life comes from your lord. If he doesn't let us die, we must live."

The heroes present nodded.

Afterwards, Christian glanced at everyone.

"Now that the combat mission is clear."

"Vivian, you are the frontline commander of the siege."

"Pass the order."

"The siege begins!!!"

"As you command!"

Outside the northern defense line.

As Christian ordered.

The siege army, which had long been unable to restrain itself, began to slowly advance towards the city wall of the northern defense line.

At this moment.

The defenders in the city looked at the legion advancing towards them under the city wall.

There was a solemn look on all the faces.

"Prepare a counterattack!"

"Construct Archer."

"Armor-piercing arrow."

"Ten rounds."

"Target."

"giant!"

"Prepare."

On the city wall.

When the defenders saw the ground, the giant roared.

When it instantly became more than 20 meters high.

Immediately, a commander began to give orders.

And when the giant was about to reach the attack range.

Suddenly.

In the sky, a pungent smell of burning came.

The guards on the top of the city looked sideways.

Then they immediately found in horror.

Above the sky.

Fire meteors fell towards them.

"It's magic."

"Dodge!"

"All troops enter the soldier cave to avoid magic attacks."

On the walls of the northern defense line, there are soldier caves specially used to avoid magic.

But the constructed archers on the wall are all wearing heavy constructed parts.

This thing requires more than a dozen servants to put on, and the same is true for taking it off.

At this time.

How could it be taken off so quickly and hide in the treasure cave.

Looking at the falling magic, these archers can only helplessly choose to rely on themselves to dodge.

But this time they are facing the fire meteors released by the Flame Wizard.

Instead of ordinary bows and magic.

In addition to being larger in size, the fire meteors have higher magic damage.

What is even more terrifying is the splash damage.

Dense fire meteors locked onto the city wall.

"Boom" and smashed down.

Sparks splashed on the ground.

These archers wearing constructs, even if they are relatively convenient in action.

But under such a dense attack.

All dodging is in vain.

Many construct archers dodged the first one, but were quickly killed by the second one.

Dodged the second one.

They were ignited by the splashing magic energy.

Even these were lucky to be avoided.

The fire meteors smashed down, forming a fire area on the city wall.

These construct archers were roasted by the fire area.

Desperately dehydrated and died.

A moment later.

On the northern defense line, no archer on the entire section of the city wall survived.

And taking advantage of this opportunity.

The three vanguards attacking the city under the city wall have already approached the city wall.

The three siege legions have different ways of attacking.

The original Blood Forest Giant enlarged its body, and then quickly climbed up the city wall in a stacked posture.

At the same time, on the shoulders of the giant, there stood a fishman holding a bone blade.

They climbed the city wall the fastest.

A moment later, they had already crossed the top of the wall and appeared inside the city wall.

Because the defenders were either killed in the battle or huddled in the treasure cave under the magic attack just now.

So there was no counterattack at all.

And in the other two siege legions.

The dragon bone golems cannot climb.

The little fishman here did not take on the task of climbing the city, but came to the bottom of the city wall, using the bone blade in his hand to launch waves of water to attack the defenders still standing on the city wall.

Finally, there was the Four Alliances.

They participated in the battle, knowing that they were going to attack the city.

So in the corps brought this time, special siege troops were specially arranged.

These legions carried a large number of climbing ladders.

Some of the ladders were mechanical pulleys and magic-driven.

Some of these were obtained from the misty world, and some were made by professionals on Blue Star.

At the same time, there are catapults, crossbows and other equipment that can attack the top of the city.

Most of them are developed and produced by professionals on Blue Star.

These equipment are relatively primitive.

It is better to use airships and special siege machines.

But those things are expensive and troublesome to use.

The most important thing is that there is no place to buy them.

There are few finished products of goblin airships, and most of them are hidden for research.

There is only one siege machine.

Therefore, when the lords of Blue Star attack the city, they all use relatively primitive tactics.

They also use various magic modified products in the ancient history of Blue Star.

But although the things are primitive, the effect is good.

Especially after the defenders on the city wall were suppressed by magic.

The four-alliance coalition directly put the magic-driven ladder on the top of the wall.

Then the soldiers who attacked the city were like taking an elevator.

Then the equipment quickly climbed up the city wall.

But just when they had just transported the third batch of people.

The counterattack of the defenders inside the city wall began.

The constructed infantry coming out of the treasure cave, holding thick spears, formed squares and began to counterattack.

At this time, the number of legions in the upper city was not large.

When facing the spears of dozens of meters, the siege infantry of the four alliances could not resist at all.

They were directly stabbed to death by the mechanically driven spears in two or three strokes.

The infantry in the upper city was quickly cleared.

But on the other side.

The original blood forest giants in the upper city were not so easy to deal with.

In terms of size, they have more advantages than the construct infantry.

In addition, they have thick skin and flesh, and they carry many small fishmen on their shoulders.

When these construct infantry came with long spears.

Just after two stabs, they were blocked by the hard shield.

Then the fishmen on the shoulders launched a poisonous water wave attack.

Under the dense poisonous water wave attack.

The counterattack of the construct infantry encountered great difficulties.

Not only did they fail to kill the enemy, but they also suffered huge casualties.

At this time, the defenders of the city wall were ready to change people.

The construct infantry was not good, so they were ready to replace the two-handed magic pattern great swordsman.

But just when these magic pattern swordsmen were ready to support,

On the side of the army.

Yasis, who was fighting with the griffin knight inside the city wall, suddenly pointed at the ground.

"Wind and Thunder Sword Guard."

"Take three hundred gryphon knights and stop them."

After receiving the order, the Fenglei Sword Guard quickly left the queue.

Land on the wall.

Blocking the path of the magic pattern swordsman.

Suddenly the road was cut off.

The magic pattern swordsman was furious and fought in a melee with these gryphon knights.

But this order from Assis made the defenders on the city wall unlucky.

The construct infantry, which lost its support, was quickly surrounded by the original blood forest giants who successively landed on the city.

Under the city wall, there was even Hogg and the Original Blood Forest Giant, who kept throwing the little fishmen up the city wall with great force.

These little fishmen were thrown into the structure infantry formation.

Although most of them fell to death.

But there is still a part that accurately entered the body of the construct.

The infantry inside had no time to react and were stabbed to death by the little murloc's bone blade.

Not long.

The defenders on the west wall were actually killed.

Without the defenders.

The number of little murlocs climbing the city wall is increasing.

Soon it reached tens of thousands.

They even began to jump off the city wall and attack the city gate and the city wall in depth.

But at this time, the defenders who should have fought hard to recapture the city wall.

Retreat suddenly.

A vacuum instantly appeared near the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, a place in the city lit up with a little light.

Several magic crystal cannons fired rapidly at this section of the city wall and Zhou Mirai.

The original blood forest giants, griffin knights, and little fishmen who climbed onto the city wall didn't even have time to react before they were blown into pieces by the magic crystal cannon.

This scene was seen by Vivian under the city wall.

She said to Christian, who was watching the battle next to her.

"It's not troublesome to attack the city. What's troublesome is how to deal with the threat of the magic crystal cannon."

"They're too much of a threat."

"Our soldiers who boarded the city can't stop the power of the magic crystal cannon."

"If you go up there, you'll be blown up."

Christian nodded slightly.

Then he said.

"That's why we need to keep attacking."

"Know the location of their magic crystal cannon."

"The firing of the magic crystal cannon cannot be continuous."

"Our siege army was killed this time, so these magic crystal cannons will have to wait for recharging. The next attack will require additional magic crystal cannons."

"As long as our soldiers attack the city wall faster than the magic crystal cannon can recover, we can capture the city wall."

"Moreover."

"As long as the magic crystal cannon in the city can be fired continuously."

"Then their location will be exposed."

"At that time, we only need to use the Dragon Eagle Knight to launch a surprise attack to destroy all these magic crystal cannons, and the northern defense line will be captured in an instant."

"So, Vivian, don't be afraid of death."

"There is no such thing as death in war."

"A soft-hearted general will only bring greater casualties."

"Send the order!"

"Continue to attack the city."

"yes."

As Christian's order was issued again.

The defenders who had just driven the enemy off the city wall once again found that another enemy had rushed to the top of the wall.

This time.

They learned from previous experiences.

Started attacking with bolides above his head.

Use the construct infantry on the city wall first to fight back against the climbing soldiers.

Wait until the bolide is over.

The construct archers just started to go up to the city, and huge arrows fell like raindrops.

Shoot the soldiers who boarded the city into hedgehogs.

However, the fishmen's counterattack also caused casualties to them.

The two sides began to fight repeatedly on the city wall.

After the high-intensity siege lasted for more than three hours.

Under the city wall, there were already numerous corpses.

All the original Blood Forest giants have been consumed.

2/3 of the Four Alliance forces have been killed.

The Dragon Bone Golem was all broken into pieces.

but.

Only the number of small fishmen has not decreased.

Instead, it surged to as many as half a million.

Under the city wall.

Densely packed little fishmen climbed up the city wall and rushed towards the top of the wall.

The defenders on the city wall looked at the fish-man who was making strange noises.

The defender felt his scalp numb.

The key thing is that the defenders on the city wall have also lost more than 2/3.

The construct infantry has been completely wiped out.

The current counterattack relies entirely on the magic pattern two-handed sword infantry and wandering mages.

There are now less than three hundred construct archers.

They could no longer organize an effective arrow rain to fight back against these little fishmen.

The capture of the first city wall was already a fait accompli.

Even counterattack with magic crystal cannon can't change this fact.

finally.

The commander of the Northern Defense Line ordered.

Give up the first line of defense.

The defenders of the first line of defense retreated to the second line.
