Chapter Seventy-Two: The Moat
Due to the greater threat of bone dragons, vampires, and dark knights, they were either destroyed or disabled, so the arrow tower turned to shoot corpses in the later stage, and now the powerful corpses have been cleared, leaving only more than 700 fourth-order corpses. However, this number was still too large, and if the corpse witch hadn't wasted a lot of firepower on some small troops, Liu Ren's losses would have been even greater.
Wu Mu also had nine teams of soldiers, more than 3,000 people, Mei Jing 36oo skeletons, Liu Ren 263 priests, 291 steel shields, 14 tower shields and 15 priests, 36o griffins and 34ooo peasants, and 1 Zen master.
It should be said that Liu Ren's strength is well preserved, thanks to Mei Jing, because most of the gaps in the city wall are carried by Mei Jing's skeleton.
Wu Mu has "spearmanship" and high offense and defense, one of his soldiers can be used for two, while Liu Ren has peasant expertise and 8ohp advantages, and his low-level soldiers can also swing horizontally, in contrast, although Mei Jing also has a treasure of +HP2O, and also allows his subordinates to increase HP by 1o by visiting the elf stronghold, but in general, the skeleton is indeed the best cannon fodder candidate at the moment.
In fact, it is not very difficult to defend the gap in the wall, after all, the enemy army standing in the moat is only half a force left, and the river will slow down their attack, so the power is reduced. Although due to the delay in breaking through the city wall and the decrease in the width occupied by the previous group of undead, the undead heroes sent eleven new troops into the water to assist in the attack, but each team of skeletons has 10,000 HP, which can not be killed in a few rounds.
What really makes the skeletons fall one by one is the Death Cloud of the Corpse Witch, because in the absence of a ranged opponent to fight, the Death Witch prioritizes shooting at the enemy who is fighting, but the Death Cloud falls on a team of skeletons at the same time, which is also a great waste.
It is by taking advantage of this that Liu Ren's farmers have already picked up cheap more than a dozen times. The peasant army guarded the city wall, and when the last round of attacks by the corpse witch had just come out, the peasants immediately "squeezed" the skeletons that blocked the gap, and dealt a hard blow to the enemy in the moat, and then immediately broke away from the battle and gave up the position to the original skeletons, and the corpse witch still did not choose the peasants who had already run away in the next round of attacks.
Although in doing so, the peasants will also be attacked by the troops in the moat when they turn around, but in general, they are all earned, more than 3,000 peasants, can do six or seven thousand damage against mid-tier soldiers, and nearly 10,000 damage when they fight low-tier soldiers, while the opponents in the river can only give five hundred to two thousand damage to farmers per team.
If it weren't for this tactic of changing places with one shot, the corpse witch would have already killed Liu Ren's peasant regiment. It was with this tactic that the Styx ferrymen were killed by the peasants early on. Swap out for a team of walking vampires who are not immune to moats.
The same tactics were used by griffins. The difference is that griffins can fly, so they don't have to squeeze with skeletons, but the griffins that are divided into three teams have too weak attack power, so Liu Ren mainly uses them to fight some low-level undead.
Now the undead attack force at the city gate has become three, and the reason why they can accommodate three troops in the narrow city gate is because they are too "thin". This was actually deliberately caused by Liu Ren. He beat each team of enemies who came to rush the city gate to only a few, it seemed that there were more attacking troops, but the actual damage was not terrifying, after doing this work, Liu Ren beckoned Mei Jing to send skeletons over, and then the steel shield warriors moved their positions little by little in millimeters
The Steel Shield Warrior is currently the highest defensive unit of the defenders, and Liu Ren has a treasure "Mirror" that reduces 1o% magic damage, so even if all the corpse witches fire a salvo, they can only fight more than 7,000 damage (also considering the factor of intermediate demon subduation), and there is the key care of the priest group, and the steel shield warriors only lose a dozen per round, so the corpse witch did not attack this team of weak and strong troops.
After the steel shield warriors handed over the responsibility of guarding the gate, they also shot from place to place like peasants, although it was impossible to have the strong lethality of the peasant regiment, but also because of their high defense, in these operations, there were few losses.
Liu Ren's peasants, griffins, and steel shields add up to more than 10,000 damage, but he can only complete one round of attacks in three or four seconds per round, so he can only count more than 2,000 damage per second, and the moat is 10,000 per second against the twenty-two undead troops, plus the attacks of skeletons and ballistas, it is barely enough for 15,000 per second, while the attackers can reach nearly 40,000 per second.
Mei Jing has been paying attention to maintaining the number of skeletons in the previous battle, but she has only twenty-two teams in total, since blocking the city wall, there is a team of skeletons killed by the corpse witch in each round, and finally, when the arrow tower was all blown down, Mei Jing only had six teams of skeletons left, and now the main force blocking the city wall has been replaced by Liu Ren's priests, griffins and tower shields, but there is still a team of undead stepping into the city.
The crippled army was immediately killed by Wu Mu, and at the same time, Wu Mu had a team of spearmen who finally got the hang of it and blocked the wall, and then, the remaining eight teams rushed to a new gap to besiege the newly disembarked group of Dark Knights, but they had to divide into four teams to block the third breach.
At this point, Liu Ren's peasants and steel shield warriors no longer fought guerrillas, and the next two gaps were plugged by them.
The peasants finally became the target of the corpse witch, a round of 30,000 damage, a round of killing more than 300 peasants, but the peasants did not sacrifice in vain, because of the fire of the corpse witch, eight consecutive rounds, no new gap was broken, but a gap was re-plugged, and between these eight rounds, the peasants fought hard to get rid of a team of half undead, more than 7,000 troops.
The reason why I say eight rounds is because the number of peasants is only six hundred, and the corpse witch no longer pays attention to him after eight rounds.
The attack of the corpse witch turned to Wu Mu's troops, because they were the most damaging except for the steel shield warriors. Seven teams were destroyed in nine rounds, and there were not many teams left, but killing these troops did not allow the troops in the moat to land, and the damage from the river continued.
The Corpse Witch began to bombard Liu Ren's Priest, because the Steel Shield Warrior was the type with a weak attack and a strong high HP, so it was ranked as the last target, and among the troops currently fighting, the Priest was already the class with the highest damage value.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ren smiled, although the defense of the priests was worse than that of the steel shield warriors of the lower order, they had additional resistance to magic, so they lost less than twenty per round, and these priests were enough to withstand more than ten rounds.
However, the undead in the moat finally relied on their own force to go ashore and carry out the final slaughter, and the Steel Shield Warrior held out on to the wall for five rounds, thus causing the Golden Ballista to deal an additional 4,500 damage (the Golden Ballista is a strategic artifact rather than an ordinary war machine, and cannot be attacked).
The last to fall was the Minotaur Prince in the Steel Shield Warrior Corps, with a HP of up to 5ooo, a high-level class, but he was killed in seconds after only one master.
There are still 130,000 of the main army of the undead, but the high-level class and flying unit are almost completely lost, and it is no longer invincible.
