Chapter 119: Change
The war continues
The killings also continued.
With the volleys of magic cannons on the city walls, the Cloud Mist Empire Army temporarily stabilized the situation on the frontal battlefield.
A little farther away from the frontal battlefield, the mages of the Star Bamboo Imperial Army, who did not charge together, were using combined magic to continue to attack the defensive barrier of Cloud City.
As long as this city-guarding barrier is broken, the entire cloud city wall area will be exposed to the attack range of the Star Bamboo Empire's magic energy array cannon, and at that time, it will be extremely simple to break the city.
But this Cloud City Guarding Enchantment is extremely powerful, it is backed by the entire Cloud Mist City, and in the vast Cloud Mist City, I don't know how many magic arrays are providing magic power for this enchantment.
This is the biggest barrier in Cloud City!
Time passed slowly, the combined magic of the magicians of the Star Bamboo Empire, the powerful cannon fire of the magic array cannon, under this continuous attack, the cloud city defense barrier was still as stable as Mount Tai.
On the battlefield on the front line, the stormtrooping troops of the Star Bamboo Empire suffered heavy losses under the magic cannons on the cloud and mist city walls and the long-term bombardment of the magicians.
During this period, the Xingzhu Imperial Army tried to open the shield used by the combination of magic guide devices again, but at this time, the Xingzhu Imperial Army was fighting closely with the two armies of the Cloud Mist Imperial Army, and those chariots pulled by mammoths were also exposed to the attack range of the Cloud Mist Imperial Army.
For a while, the defensive Cloud Empire had an advantage, and the losses of the Xingzhu Empire's army were even heavier.
Although compared to the total number of armies on both sides, the Cloud Mist Empire would definitely be defeated if it was consumed like this, but how many people were left of the Xingzhu Empire army besieging the city at that time?
After a while, the Xingzhu Empire finally seemed to be unable to hold its breath, and a large number of Pegasus knights rose into the air, and the heroic knights rode handsome Pegasus, their white armor facing the rising sun, reflecting dazzling brilliance!
Knights of the Sky!
The Sky Knights rose straight into the air, and the company rose to a height of a thousand meters, at this altitude, the people below could almost only see a few black dots in the sky, all, at this distance, it was impossible for the root of the magic guide cannon on the ground to aim at the nimble Pegasus Knight.
The Sky Knights quickly approached the airspace of Cloud City, and they dropped special metal balls from the sky, each of which was incredibly heavy and turned into powerful bombs after being accelerated by the fall from a high altitude, each falling causing a lot of ripples on the multicolored shield that enveloped the city!
However, the Cloud Empire Army reacted quickly, and a large number of Pegasus knights also quickly rose into the air, and the sky battlefield quickly opened up the situation.
This time, the Star Bamboo Empire is dominated by the Sky Knights, the ace of the Western Legion, and merges the Pegasus Knights of the three legions in the southeast and north into the Sky Knights...... Therefore, the Cloud Mist Empire is inferior to the Star Bamboo Empire in terms of both the quantity and quality of the Pegasus Knights.
On the battlefield in the sky, the scales of war gradually tilted, and the Pegasus troops of the Cloud Empire were defeated one after another, and there were constantly Pegasus knights who were pierced through their chests with spears, and finally fell to the ground with Pegasus.
Finally, the Pegasus troops of the Cloud Mist Empire suffered heavy losses and began to retreat, and the knights fled in all directions on the Pegasus, and the Star Bamboo Empire's side naturally would not give up this advantage, and the Sky Knights took advantage of the situation to pursue, and killed hundreds of Pegasus knights in a row......
And they pursued too closely, getting closer and closer to the ground......
Suddenly, a large area of glorious lines lit up on the multicolored shield above Cloud City, and a pale cyan halo turned into the most violent wind, "swallowing" all the Sky Knights who had descended low enough in one go! Even because this wind covered too wide, the Cloud Empire's own Pegasus troops were also greatly affected!
Although more than a dozen Sky Lords of the Sky Knights reacted quickly and jointly dispersed a large area of the wind, more than half of the Sky Knights were violently tossed away by the storm...... And falling from a height of hundreds of meters, even the Sky Knight will not survive.
The Cloud Mist Empire was overjoyed, they didn't expect the Star Bamboo Empire to make such a serious command mistake, and the entire Sky Knights almost lost more than half of it because of this rash chase!
The situation reversed in an instant, and the Sky Knights began to flee high into the air, while the Pegasus troops of the Cloud Empire in turn chased after the Sky Knights and slashed.
Below, above the city walls.
General Kant frowned slightly, although the small victory in the sky battlefield was because no one would have thought that Cloud City would have an attack form in the city defense enchantment, but the opponent's deep pursuit this time was extremely unreasonable, how could the other party's commander make such a low-level mistake?
He clearly remembered that in the previous war, this elusive Sky Knights gave the defenders of the Cloud Empire a headache.
Wrong......
Just as he was thinking like this, the ground forces of the Xingzhu Empire below also began to retreat, and it seemed that they were affected by the defeat in the sky battlefield? Or could they not stand the losses of continuing to fight?
The Cloud Empire Army symbolically chased after a while and then retreated, after all, without the protection of the Cloud Empire city, it was almost impossible to win a head-to-head battle.
A war ended in such a hurry.
In the next few days, the Xingzhu Empire was still attacking in an all-out way, and it always made mistakes, almost every time it was a crushing defeat and retreated......
It's like the commander of the Xingzhu Empire's army has changed to a different person, and he is also the kind of novice who commands the war for the first time, and there are so many mistakes that sometimes the Cloud Mist Empire doesn't have time to react.
Cloud Empire Battle Room.
General Kant sat in the bright hall and looked around slightly, and everyone present seemed to be in a good mood except for him.
It is also said that the situation of the war is gradually developing in the direction of the Cloud Empire, and the commanders present are really relieved, after all, the previous war made people feel that there was no hope, and now there is finally a turnaround, whether it is the Xingzhu Empire's old suspicion or their command is really wrong, and now the improvement of the situation really makes the military heart excited.
"Brother Kant, don't keep your face tight. The commander-in-chief also had a faint smile on his face.
"General Gladstone. Kant bowed slightly, although the commander-in-chief Gladstone and his military rank are the same, but in terms of seniority and power, Gladstone is stronger than Kant.
"I think things are going a little weird, it's impossible for the commander of the Star Bamboo Empire to be so stupid enough to make so many low-level mistakes. Kant said with a frown.
Many immediately showed displeasure.
"Our people have sent news that Xingzhu's current commander-in-chief is a hairy boy, although he performed well on the battlefield before, but it was only in the local battlefield, and now he is commanding the Xingzhu Empire's million-strong army, how can a hairy boy's overall view be compared with us, he still lacks the accumulation of experience, so these low-level mistakes will occur. Said General Kirton, who had a mustache. He was trying to explain, both to Kant and to himself.
Kant's face changed slightly, and his gaze swept slightly over everyone present, and many of them had more or less approval on their faces.
He understood that it was not that these people could not see these abnormal performances of the Xingzhu Imperial Army, but that they were all forcing themselves and convincing themselves to believe all this.
The young man who had just taken over the power of the Xingzhu Empire might really have a problem with the overall situation, but why had the Xingzhu Empire lost so many times after so many days, and that young commander had made so many mistakes, but no one had taken his place?
It can't be that all the senior commanders of the entire Star Bamboo Empire are stupid, right? If this is the case, the Cloud Mist Empire will not be defeated to the point where there is only one capital left......
It's really weird, but it seems that no one else wants to explore why, and now the entire Cloud City is in the excitement of fighting and winning, and hope has been rekindled in everyone's hearts, and no one wants to deny this hope.
