Chapter 1202: Deceive the enemy to be weak
However, casualties are casualties, through these consecutive days of spell attacks, especially on the last night, after the attack launched by the Dark Witch and the Plague Demon Legion under the personal command of Li Ran, the outer fortifications of this Lyon stronghold have been almost destroyed, and the final victory will be decided when the two sides fight fairly.

However, just when everyone including Lopez thought that Li Ran would launch a general attack in the next day or two, Li Ran suddenly retreated thirty miles and began to rest in place.
For many days in a row, in the intricate border front, this place was like a paradise, not only did the barbarian legions in the Lyon stronghold not move, but the army on Li Ran's side also did not move, and the two sides did not invade each other as if they had been discussed.
However, what some surrounding forces were puzzled by was that the army on Li Ran's side suddenly launched an operation, and tens of thousands of elven archers who had just arrived from Roaring Island launched a new round of long-range attacks on this Lyon stronghold.
"What the hell is this Terryth going to do?" At this time, in the command headquarters of the border fortress, Duke Griffitz couldn't help but say angrily: "What is he going to do!" Is he ready to bully this barbarian stronghold for not having too many ranged troops, and wants to use ranged soldiers to consume them? Then let's wait for him to finish this battle, I'm afraid the whole war will be over."
Hearing the angry accusation of this commander of Greenom, the generals present at this time also did not dare to speak, and some of the noble lords who looked down on Li Ran's side at this time said with disdain: "It's just a little lord of the Khan Rock Empire, I thought he was so powerful, but now it seems that it is just like this, and if you attack it head-on, you can't even take a stronghold."
Of course, among these people, there are also people who are more pertinent and said: "Prince Territh has no choice but to do this, the Lyon stronghold is one of the strongest forces in the vicinity, and there are 150,000 Barrens berserkers of the Marquis of Basaya in it, even if we join forces to go over, it is very difficult to take it there, from a tactical point of view, it is the most suitable way for him to command it now, but because the other legions are approaching faster, the other party's reinforcements are already rushing over, if such a stronghold is allowed to be here." , once it cooperates with the reinforcements that are coming, it will be very unfavorable to the whole battle situation here for us."
Hearing this, except for a few people who were still shouting, most of the people present were silent for a while, as a member of the Holy Falcon Alliance, although they were very unaccustomed to seeing the side of Terreth who suddenly intervened, but they also understood the actual situation, and naturally understood in their hearts that Duke Griffiths did nothing more than to let this Prince Terryth fight this most difficult opponent.
"Don't worry too much, my lord" At this time, someone also said to Duke Griffiths: "These tens of thousands of long-range troops they rushed to, although the casualties will not be too big if they continue to fight like this, but the arrows they carry must be limited, as long as they run out of arrows, our side will not give arrows, my lord, you urge it in time, I believe that there will be a decisive battle in the end, no matter what the victory or defeat, for us at most, it is just to send a legion to clean up the mess."
Hearing this, Griffiths, who was already hesitating this time, whether he was in a bit of a hurry, had to nod and said: "Now it's the only way to do it, although the task given to them this time is a bit arduous, but I believe everyone will also understand that I am also thinking about the overall situation, after all, this war has just begun, I can't let you go to these Barrens Berserkers."
As a noble general, no one wants to provoke the barbarian berserkers, let alone the famous Barrens berserkers, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred on their bodies are light, and they don't even know how their own side was killed, so at this time, after hearing Duke Griffiths's words, everyone also nodded again and again to show understanding.
On Li Ran's side, after several days of long-range attacks, he did not go back to ask for arrows as the generals of the fortress thought, nor did he launch a general attack at the urging of Griffitz as some people had speculated, and unexpectedly stopped again.
However, it soon became clear why they had stopped their attacks twice, and after almost exhausting all the ranged forces in the Lyon stronghold, after a rest, the army of Territh attacked again, only this time it was no longer a ranged unit, but a flying class became the main force.
At this time, to the frustration of the barbarian generals in the Lyon stronghold, at the south gate of the Lyon stronghold that was mainly attacked, because of the serious damage to the fortifications, the opponent's dragon army was like entering a no-man's land, and all kinds of dragon flames fell like rain, smashing on the air defense barrier as if covered with a colorful light curtain.
As for the few bows and spearthrowers left on their side, not to mention that it is difficult to pose a threat to these large creatures, what is even more terrifying is that the other party's elven squad at the moment is surrounded by the elven team that has been reduced to zero, like a grim reaper, and once the bow and spear thrower on their side exposes the target, they will become their primary target, and in the face of the elves who are already good at longbows and arrows, not to mention that these are still high-level elven marksmen at this time, and their own side has no power to parry at all.
As for the ballista that was brought from other places, although it can pose a great threat to a large creature like the dragons, it has been lost too much before it comes, and secondly, under the cover of almost no walls and fortifications, the mage legions that appear on the opposite side from time to time will also cause great damage to them, and often a single fire wall technique can destroy a bulky ballista.
If you can directly abandon the defense in the south before, although there will be a battle when the opponent's army rushes in, but in the case of occupying the terrain advantage and the strength is not weaker than the opponent, the most is to casualties some troops, as long as there are long-range corps and enough ballistas, the dragon clan legion on the opposite side will not dare to be so unscrupulous.
But at this moment, as the air defense barrier is getting thinner and thinner under the attack from the opposite side, and their own side has nothing to do, the most infuriating thing is that just when they are about to launch a round of charge, they find that the other party is under their own stronghold, and they have blatantly dug a tripstone trap, so that they can't launch a real charge at all.
At this moment, these barbarian generals, who seemed to be completely isolated, finally panicked, watching their air defense enchantment energy run out, and their strongholds were completely exposed to the eyes of their opponents.
However, what is even more infuriating is that even if this is already the case, they later found that the enemy on the opposite side was not ready to attack, and after suddenly destroying the passages on several other sides, they actually increased the excavation of trench stumbling stones, and even in the end, in addition to these trench traps, the other party even blatantly built fortifications at the entrance of their stronghold.
At this moment, these barbarian generals couldn't help but be a little curious, if they had dug trenches and stumbling stones before, it was to prevent them from charging from above, but in this way, wouldn't it be inconvenient for them to attack the city themselves?
But at this moment, when a convoy of nearly a thousand towing beasts arrived, the boxes on it were also lifted down one by one, and the inside was all stainless steel spears.
For the barbarian warriors in the Lyon stronghold, from this moment on, their miserable days began, when the first round of two thousand Barranca air cavalry and two hundred blazing dragoons were lifted into the air with the assistance and escort of a team of archangels, they became human targets, and these spear-throwing spears from the sky became a nightmare for all the barbarian warriors in the Lyon stronghold.
And for the Barranca air cavalry and the Moblazing Dragoon, without the threat of air defense enchantment and long-range shooters, the biggest threat they have to face at this moment is nothing more than the spear that they kill the target, and then throw it back after being picked up by the enemy, but without the support of special combat skills, plus they are in the air, these are more like spears thrown out of anger, but it is difficult to really hurt them, which is from the two days of the battle, their casualties add up to only a few Liao Liao people can be seen.
The staggering aerial spear throwing power gave these barbarian warriors a cruel reality, the strong body they once relied on, in front of these spears, only made the target more obvious, if they were hit the vital point, the result was no difference.
At this time, they wanted to break through and fight the enemy, but they found that the situation had been reversed, especially when they saw the previous fortifications that they looked a little ridiculous, they seemed to see the heavy price they had to pay.
For Lopez, if he couldn't see that his side was prepared at this time, he wouldn't need to be this marquis anymore, whether it was the archers who arrived at the right time, or the tens of thousands of spears that happened to arrive when needed, including the Mochi warriors who arrived in the name of escort, he finally understood why the other party was not too surprised when he talked to Li Ran about this Marquis of Zare, including his Barrens berserkers, on the road.
And for Li Ran, being in a foreign country is clearly a gunman and being familiar with his possible opponents is just one of the basic information he wants to master, and although this Lyon stronghold is not the largest stronghold nearby, the Barrens berserker inside makes it a bone that no one wants to gnaw, so in the previous meeting, he has long regarded this place as one of the imaginary enemies for research.
As for the elven archers and steel spears, the former has their own deployment in the shallow coast stronghold, and when he learned that he was really going to the Lyon stronghold, he asked Zhang Debiao to arrange for them to come over as soon as possible, as for the steel spears, Roaring Island lacks everything, but the only thing that is not lacking is minerals, and in the hands of his thousands of forging craftsmen, it is only a few days to build tens of thousands of steel spears.
