Chapter 85: Offensive Battle
Da Liang didn't know that the identity he had been hiding was almost revealed, and he was learning about the situation in the entire Darklight City battlefield through Kuka's explanation at this time.
In the face of the Black Fire Leader's army approaching the city, Darklight City, as an eighth-level leader, did not refuse to defend the city.
As Kuka commanded his army to raid the lands of Sigh, the Lord of Darklight found that Sigh had no reaction to the army's attack, and he realized that this was a military operation by the Sorrowful Monarch to eradicate some disobedient lords.
The Lord of Darklight, who had been restricting the development of the Darklight City Church, immediately began to prepare for war after realizing that he might be on the list of Sorrowful Monarchs, and when the enemy army arrived, he completely put his city into a state of war.
Kuka used a variety of models on the map around Darklight to map the locations of both enemy and enemy armies.
"When the defenders of Darklight City noticed that our army was approaching, they immediately went out of the city and put on a fighting posture to prevent us from approaching the city.
The army they left the city was also dominated by skeleton soldiers, numbering 100,000, with the intention of fighting a war of attrition with our low-ranking soldiers outside the city. If we follow the idea of Darklight City, it is estimated that we will not be able to get close to the city wall for dozens of days in a row.
The strategy developed by Darklight City should be to see that our army is dominated by skeletons, and if we want to attack the city, we must advance through the ground and send the siege weapons to the launch location. By keeping the skeletons in front of them, they can effectively block our siege operations.
As long as the battle can be stalemate outside the city, Darklight City can use this time to dig deep into its war potential, and the lord should know that it is very easy to dig out an undead army in this kind of undead city that has existed for an unknown number of years.
And we also need to consider the support of Darklight City's sister cities. Therefore, it is best to determine the victory of this war as soon as possible. ”
Yes, there are really too many undead buried in the ground, and watching Jonathan casually dig out an army of terrifying knights under the ground in the Fog Zone, you know how terrifying it is once the undead territory begins to fully mobilize.
Da Liang said: "If Minia and I use large-scale magic to cover the advance of the army, can we quickly open the way to attack the city wall? ”
Kuka replied: "In a war of this scale, both sides will not invest in the high-level mage too early, because everyone has the ability to counter the high-level mage, and once the location of the high-level mage is discovered, they will immediately concentrate their forces to assassinate them." Therefore, in the early stages of the war, regular military combat is still the main focus, and the high-level mage should save mana and use it at the most critical moments. ”
Da Liang realized that this war was no longer on the scale of thousands or tens of thousands, and the army of the Black Fire Leader alone had 200,000 skeleton soldiers, and if it was bombarded with a meteor shower, he would not be able to explode it with exhaustion and vomiting blood. Although low-level soldiers are cannon fodder, when the cannon fodder reaches a certain size, it can also make high-level heroes helpless.
Knowing that he was a layman in the command of the war after all, Da Liang no longer made random suggestions, but asked Kuka directly: "For this war, I specially transferred 300 magic mages, and Monica, the guard of the forward fortress, commanded it.
Guardian of the Bones - Astro brought a batch of artillery and directly commanded the Frost Dragons in battle.
The elite of the Black Fire Lord, except for the fleet at sea, are all here.
Including me, Julian, and Minya, the heroes in this tent you can command at will.
Of course, the blue ears of the snow wolf tribe are my guests.
Your mission is to lead us to the Darklight City.
Let's start exercising your duties......
Kuka! ”
"Yes, sir!" Kuka stood next to the map, used the wooden pole to push the model on the map a few times, re-formed a position, and said:
"The undead are not afraid of the siege, the longer we delay entering the city, the worse it will be for us, so we can't do too much entanglement with their skeletons outside the city, in order to attack the city wall as soon as possible, I have developed a strategy of squeezing on both wings and breaking through in the middle
……”
The undead army, which is not affected by morale, does not need to mobilize before the battle, and after the battle order is issued, the army of skeleton soldiers of the Black Fire Leader "brushes up" into action.
The entire Sea of Skeletons moved forward along the front line, and on the opposite side of them was the army of the Sea of Skeletons, which also had a long margin, and the same forward pressure was ready to attack against each other.
Before the tide of skeletons clashed, catapults set up in the rear of the two sides began to throw stones at each other.
There was no need to waste alchemy bombs attacking low-level soldiers, and all that were thrown back and forth in the air were large boulders with polished edges, and the sleek stones that were deflected towards the sphere continued to roll forward behind the land, crushing all the way through the skeletons' formation and pulling a gap out, but it was quickly filled by the surrounding skeletons.
The catapult for the large-scale skeleton soldiers on both sides, the damage caused is a drop in the bucket, and the victory or defeat of the battle depends on the strangulation of the armies of both sides.
The skeletons who were charging at each other ended up colliding together.
With the blessing of the city lord's commander, the skeleton soldiers of Darklight City have exerted their combat effectiveness far beyond that of ordinary skeleton soldiers, but this time the attack of the Black Fire Lord's army has the strength bonus provided by Da Liang's neighbors, skeleton whippers and Da Liang's equipment, so that the skeleton soldiers of the Black Fire Leader have exerted their combat effectiveness that is not weaker than that of Darklight City.
The skeleton soldiers on both sides strangled on the front line, and no one had the ability to push the front forward half a step, and the dead skeleton soldiers piled up on the front line of the battlefield, accumulating more and more, accumulating higher and higher, and finally forming a gradually increasing slope.
However, neither side took a half step back and continued to throw troops into the front.
Just as the skeletons were fighting to the death, suddenly there was a dense cannon sound in the middle of the battlefield, and the slope formed by the dead skeletons was swept by the projectiles fired at close range, and collapsed in an instant. Then four knights in red armor rushed out, and the powerful momentum caused the pile of skeletons to explode in the direction of the Darklight City army.
In the tactics developed by Kuka, four Knights of Destruction were the first to enter the battlefield. The crushing of the troops, the poor force of the heroes against the soldiers, allows the Destruction Knight to wantonly bully the lowest-level skeleton soldiers. They galloped back and forth at the breach, and their thin skeletons were lifted into the air in pieces.
In a short period of time, the four Destroyers cleared a fifty-meter-long clearing.
Then the Plague Creeper troops advanced, and these four-legged creeping creatures exploded at unimaginable speeds after being blessed with the magic of "Attack Acceleration". They charged at the skeletons of Darklight, but did not entangle with the skeletons they encountered, and obeyed the orders given to them as they set out.
"Forward, forward, until destruction ......"
The advancing Plague Creepers leaped to their feet in the face of the skeletons' slashed bone swords, and the dense array of skeletons kept them from having to worry about falling back to the ground, and they continued to run forward on alternate fours on the skeletons' heads, like a carpet that unfolded rapidly on the white ground.
They do not respond to any attacks, and hold fast to the command to move forward until the moment comes when they are killed.
