Chapter 276: You don't have to surround and send reinforcements
And the lord who lost his troops at the head of the city looked at the situation under the city, and his face became extremely ugly, but he couldn't think of any way.
Although he has the protection of the city wall and the support of the magic tower, but after the previous battle, his troops have been greatly damaged, and his combat power has been greatly reduced, whether he can hold the city or not, it is really a problem, and he as an old lord has no protection buff at all, which makes him have no hope of turning the tables.
As for contacting the other two lords to save it? Not to mention that although they had not fought before, they were all enemies, and there was no way to negotiate a good way immediately, even if they sent troops immediately, he didn't know if he could hold out until that time!
Coalition? I'm afraid there are no people willing to send troops at this time, right? He also couldn't afford to borrow a lot of troops.
After thinking about it but still not knowing the essentials, the final solution of this lord is to guard and watch, maybe he can defend the city? Of course, at the same time, he also contacted the other two lords and told them that the wolf was coming, and if they didn't save it, they would wait to be broken by each one. It's just that this distant water can't quench the thirst of the near, so you can only do your best to obey the will of God.
The alliance was also contacted, but unfortunately no one was willing to send troops.
Fortunately, Xie Mingqin was still waiting for the effect of his persuasion and supernatural powers, and he was not in a hurry to attack the city, which made the lord's mood a little better.
Maybe wait until reinforcements arrive? He thought to himself.
But in fact, Xie Mingqin was also waiting, waiting for the magic tower's magic power to be consumed more in the use of magic enchantments.
In order to prevent the air force outside the city from breaking into the city, the city's magic barrier was opened early, and the dragon seemed to be spewing dragon breath to deter the enemy, but in fact, it was secretly consuming the magic power of the magic tower, because the magic tower had to replenish the defense of the enchantment consumed by the dragon.
But the soldiers at the head of the city did not dare to attack at will, because the outside of the city was still persuading them to retreat, and the lord was also prepared to delay time, if their attack attracted a full-scale siege of the city, then no one could afford to take this responsibility.
Therefore, under the dragon's breath and the long-range on the ground from time to time to line up to shoot as a deterrent, the magic tower's mana reserves kept falling, and during this time, the attacker did not receive a single attack.
And when the reconnaissance corps that stayed in the distance sent a message that the reinforcements of the other two lords were approaching, Xie Mingqin finally stopped dissuading him.
"The whole army is attacking the city!" Xie Mingqin shouted loudly.
With his order, all the legions began to attack, and in fact Zhou Haiyan had already gone with her elite men to ambush reinforcements.
It's not that Xie Mingqin wants to fight at the same time, it's just that it's not so easy for him to take down this city, in his previous observations, he found that there are also many elites and leaders on the other side, and it is not very realistic to rely on the elite to directly go to the city wall to break the city, even if it is Zhou Haiyan. That's why he simply asked Zhou Haiyan to pretend to ambush those reinforcements, but in fact he was just preparing to drive away those reinforcements.
Zhou Haiyan has a strong impact and leads an elite team, but the reinforcements on the opposite side have no determination to support resolutely, so as long as she rushes out and puts pressure on them, most of the troops on the opposite side will withdraw.
And the actual situation is also like this, although he didn't bring a dragon over, but it was Zhou Haiyan's charge with a group of elites that made the other party feel weak, not to mention that there were still many legions rushing from around. These legions are also extremely elite (in order to save gold, at least B-level soldiers come over), which makes the opposite side suffer some small losses as soon as the battle starts.
In addition, Zhou Haiyan, who rushed into the enemy formation, forced back a corps commander, which directly made these "reinforcements", which were not very resolute in support, directly withdraw. In fact, Zhou Haiyan and the others only have less than one-tenth of the other party's military strength.
Seeing that the other party basically took out all the legions and returned to the city, and would not run over again in a short time, Zhou Haiyan directly collected the team and turned around and went to the battlefield where the city was attacking.
When Zhou Haiyan led the team to join the battlefield, the city's enchantment had already collapsed because the magic tower had no mana. Under the command of Xie Mingqin, Zhou Haiyan went around to another city gate to kill the city gate, and there were no elite-level soldiers there, which allowed Zhou Haiyan to grab the city gate very smoothly.
It's a pity that although the lord on the opposite side is not decisive, he still has some capable fighters, so the city gate was quickly taken back. Zhou Haiyan was also stopped by several elites and failed to play the greatest role, and with the help of treatment, it was impossible for Zhou Haiyan to even kill a person.
However, it is also a situation that Xie Mingqin expected, of course it is best to be able to take the city directly, it is okay if it doesn't work, this operation is not a complete failure, after all, it has also achieved the purpose of dispersing the enemy's forces.
Using the teleportation of the trapped will to shake off the enemy's entanglement, Zhou Haiyan led the team to another city gate to continue to attract firepower, and at the same time, Ye Feifei also took all the air forces to fight at other gates, further dispersing the elite of the enemy army.
When the forces at the head of the city were almost scattered, Xie Mingqin also showed all his strength. At this moment, the lord of the city head became careless, and the firefighting team went around fighting fires, but the more they put out fires, the bigger the fires, and several city gates were breached (the long-range defenders on the city were killed a lot, and there was no way to prevent the enemy from breaking through the city gates), which made the intact city gates that his main force guarded have become completely meaningless. Finally, under the persuasion of his subordinates, the lord finally led his troops to leave the dangerous city unwillingly.
Without the main defense, Xie Mingqin quickly took the city. This is still the time when the lord retreated, and Zhou Haiyan almost occupied the teleportation array one step ahead of him, but even so, Zhou Haiyan intercepted a part of the troops and did not teleport away, these are all reserve forces, and the legion return to the city scroll are all soldiers who cannot be taken away.
This made Xie Mingqin, who had finished a hard battle, reduce some losses.
But this is just the beginning, with this city as a base, Xie Mingqin can show his strength in this half of the district.
Of course, he wouldn't abandon this city like Ye Yihai to quickly raid another lord, he would eat all the cities here one bite at a time.
With this experience of "aid", the lords of the other two families had no idea of support, and they tentatively attacked the level of the lower central passage, but failed to break through, and then they each retreated back to their own territory.
Encountering such a "passable" lord, Xie Mingqin was naturally happy, and without any worries, he could completely devote himself to the attack on his current territory.
In the second city, his persuasion to retreat still did not work, and after another hard battle, Xie Mingqin won again.
After two consecutive defeats, the other party finally lost hope completely, and finally left ahead of time before Xie Mingqin attacked, and this third city was finally simply taken.
