Chapter 599: The Fisherman Profits
Whether it is a war or a siege, the emphasis is on one go, and the other party's dispatch of troops will only put them in a passive position, not to mention that in the case of their own lack of long-range troops, this is simply harming their own troops.
Pit your own troops! Thinking of this, Li Ran was suddenly startled in his heart, and when he saw that in the camp in the distance, the dark elf warlock seemed to be arguing with a minotaur, and he couldn't help but nod his head in understanding.
However, at this time, Lydia, who was arguing with the leader of the minotaur Kurto, was also very depressed, last time she used the peeping pupil to reconnoiter this stronghold, the personnel were only about 4,000, plus about 2,000 mid-level elven archers, originally she thought that with 3,000 minotaurs could not only open the gate of the other party's stronghold, but also cause great trouble to this stronghold.
At this time, another 1,500 Pelidon beasts were dispatched, and when they were almost killed, she could easily pick the fruits of this victory with more than 3,000 personal soldiers, so she thought about how to keep the other party's troops and how to trade the remaining Nazr troops through hidden trading channels.
However, the outcome of the battle made her very depressed, although the minotaur broke through the gate of the enemy stronghold with brute force, but by the time she reacted, the minotaur had already suffered heavy casualties.
And when she hurriedly possessed the disgusting Pelidonmon, the other party's War Bear troops rushed over in time, blocking all his minotaurs and Pelidonmons from the stronghold again, and it seemed that its frame was still very relaxed, which made her even more afraid to send her own personal guards easily.
At this time, in the face of the accusations of the minotaur leader Kurto, the female leader of the dark warlock finally couldn't help it, and called several dark elf warriors, and as her repeated orders were issued, these dark elf warriors stepped forward and began to direct the minotaur and the Pelidonmon to quickly retreat back to defense, while her own large army responded to the charge of the stronghold. A defensive formation was made.
Just in case, Li Ran didn't send anyone to chase after him, but after returning to a hillside to rest, the dark elf warlock came over again with the remaining troops of less than six thousand. The hasty battle just now had caused her to suffer nearly 2,000 casualties, of which the Minotaur warriors accounted for more than half, and there were also a few hundred Pelidonmons.
"Is this guy sick? Just now, so many soldiers couldn't attack it, but now that the casualties are so big and the morale is low, can it still be attacked? Zhang Juan couldn't help but laugh and said.
But seeing the other party's camp, Li Ran frowned slightly, only to see that all the remaining troops of the other party were divided into several squads by the female dark warlock leader, and each team was led by several dark elf warriors.
"Brothers, be careful! This guy is really here, Tang Zhi! Pay attention to the safety of the archers, and if you can't do it, retreat from the city wall first! Li Ran on the high platform suddenly shouted, and the voice spread throughout the entire stronghold.
"Lord Doric! Prepare the ballista. Get ready for the second siege! As Li Ran's order was given, just when the teammates were a little curious, hundreds of male dark elves holding tower shields suddenly rushed out of the opposite camp.
These male elves were all blessed with power enhancement and blessing techniques, and the giant tower shield in their hands escorted more than thirty dark warlocks to rush over quickly, and it seemed that they were about to carry out a large-scale magic attack.
In this regard, Li Ran hurriedly asked the troops to withdraw from the gate of the stronghold, and at the same time ordered dozens of archmages to immediately carry out a magical counterattack.
"Lord Doric! Don't worry about precision, crossbow bolts fire! Without waiting for Doric to order the spirit to adjust the target, Li Ran hurriedly shouted.
As the Archmage unleashes long-range fireballs and ice blades. As the ballista began firing, the ground at the gate of the territory suddenly shook. Immediately afterward, a giant purple worm slowly emerged from the ground.
In the frightened eyes of everyone, this purple worm that crawled out of most of its body while attacking the gate of the territory and the city wall was more than ten meters high, and the mouth at the top had a circle of sharp teeth, which was chilling.
"Leave it alone! Attack those warlocks with all your might, Tang Zhi! Equipped with piercing arrows! Just as the teammates were surprised, Li Ran's order sounded again.
As the hundreds of advanced archers beside Tang Shi rang out a bowstring. Li Ran shouted again: "Xia Houben, let the wild bull charge, bypass this purple worm at all costs, you must resist the other party's charging minotaur for me, and you must not let them take advantage of it!" ”
"Shadow Blade. Bring your class to escort 20 archmages for a surprise attack, and burn that tower shield array with a wall of fire for me, and be sure to interrupt their spell casting, Wu Tongtong! Order the other mages to build a wall of fire outside the city! With Li Ran's repeated orders, although the teammates were a little surprised, they still began to carry out Li Ran's seemingly strange orders.
However, when they saw a purple worm exposed after the ground bulged again, and after crawling out a little bit and diving unwillingly, they found that the other party's tower shield array protecting more than twenty dark warlocks had been swept away under the attack of the fire wall and ice blade of the archmage brought out by the piercing arrows and shadow blades led by Tang Zhi, and the price was that only 7 of the 20 archmages were left in an instant.
Immediately after that, more than 300 brute bulls had collided with the charging minotaur, and at this time, most of the troops in the territory were still surprised by the huge purple worm, at this time it was being attacked by a dozen top-level mantis warriors, and dozens of shadows flashed around it from time to time, indicating that the female warrior had locked onto it.
And while the brute bull and undead cavalry were outside the city to block the army of minotaurs who had rushed to the base less than 100 meters, all the teammates, including most of the troops, reacted and prepared for battle again.
At this time, Zhou Xun and Cao Dayong and the others reacted, thinking that none of Li Ran's successive orders were given to them at that moment, it must have been considering that their emergency response ability could not keep up, and they couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and hurriedly acted according to Li Ran's arrangement.
Fortunately, the second purple worm was blocked back without being summoned, but even so, the moment the only huge purple worm fell under the joint attack of dozens of super-level troops, the stronghold had lost most of its defensive capabilities, and at this time, the teammates were surprised to find that the opponent's attack style had changed greatly, and it was like a tide, forcing them to parry, and then thinking of the minotaur who almost let the opponent rush in just now, Zhou Xun and his teammates were even more afraid.
Although after the battle just now, their strength was slightly superior to that of the other party, but if they were allowed to rush in just now, the more than 2,000 mid-level elf archers on their side would be useless, and it would be difficult to say whether they would win or lose at that time, not to mention that the other party could cast this terrible spell, and there might be other means.
