Chapter 533: The Changing Tide of Battle
The army of the undead who attacked was pitted very badly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On the platform in front of the Emhar Gate, these undead didn't even touch the city gate and city wall, and they lost more than 2,000 undead troops of all levels and had to retreat temporarily.
The Muken chieftain led his people and the human warriors together to win a victory.
Of course, this is just the beginning, and the undead certainly don't just give up.
Not long was wasted, and they soon launched a second attack on Emhar. And this time, the undead's offensive was much more planned than the previous one.
First of all, there are a large number of zombies and skeletons that come forward. This low-level unit was launched to consume the firepower of the Amhar defenders.
It is impossible for the dwarves and human defenders not to fight. They couldn't leave these zombies and skeletons near the walls.
And when the defenders' firepower was concentrated on these low-level undead, the subsequent undead elites moved.
A group of ghouls, demons, and black warriors poured out of the mountain path, and with the help of the cover of the low-level undead in front of them, they began to quickly approach the city walls.
The Muken Patriarch is waiting for them!
As a reserve, Muken left a whole squad of dwarven musketeers, as well as ten dwarven guns. And the moment the ghouls and the Black Warriors came up, he shouted, "Aim at the new rotten meat!" Fire! ”
Under the firepower, the team of ghouls and black knights suffered heavy losses.
The undead are emotionless and do not fear, yes, but that doesn't mean they don't have reason - maybe the middle and lower undead don't even have reason, but the high-ranking undead who lead the army and act like an officer in the army of the living, some necromancers, and the generals of the army, must have normal sanity.
Of course, they realized that their offensive had failed again.
But the commander of the undead army is obviously not reconciled. Above the city, the Muken Patriarch heard a terrifying scream, and then he saw the undead under the city, as if crazy, intensifying their attack.
This time, the undead rushed under the walls and carried up the ladder that had not had time to be blown up.
But, that's about it.
No undead could climb to the top of the city alive at a height of thirty meters.
The army of the undead has once again returned from the gates of Emhar.
In the days that followed, the undead continued to attack, but rarely did they actually threaten Emhar's defenses.
In the past few days of fighting, the undead have lost at least more than five thousand in number. Although, most of them are still some good supplemental zombies and skeletons, but this is still a bit nerve-wracking for the army of the undead.
The number of undead who emerged from Broken Dragon Peak was only 40,000 in total. However, from the attack on Emhar's outer defense area and the attack on Emhar on the platform in front of the city, he did not win any results, not to mention that he had already lost more than 10,000 people.
Even for the army of the undead, such losses are unbearable.
They had to settle down, and there was no way to sustain the high-intensity offensive until they found a way to capture Emhar.
This situation also made the eastern defense line of the Hindlaire Kingdom much easier.
Turning his gaze to the west, the situation is much more dire.
While Emhar's defenses were settled, the undead were still fiercely attacking Iron Horse.
The battle between the Fourth Legion and the Sixth Legion was very hard, although they were not less than the enemy in terms of medical records, and at the same time, although there were almost half of the soldiers of the Garrison Legion among their troops, the soldiers of these Garrison Legions may have more difficulty fighting troops like ghouls, but it is not a big problem to deal with some ordinary zombies and skeletons.
Moreover, after knowing that the undead can directly transform the dead into the undead on the battlefield, it is impossible for Pehinsi, who is already commanding the battle in the grip of the iron horse, not to be on guard.
The priest's purification spell was the most straightforward solution, but in addition, some alchemical products transported from within the kingdom of Hindlaire also helped a lot.
It was a powder wrapped in a special paper bag, and these things were not harmful to the human body, but the magic contained in them could suppress the production of soul power.
The effect of this inhibition is not strong, and the effect is very inconspicuous for the undead who have been resurrected.
However, it can still have a certain effect if it is used to temporarily suppress the soul power of the dead corpse and prevent the corpse from being resurrected.
In cases where the priests don't have time to purify large numbers of corpses, or when the priesthood's magic isn't sufficient, these dispel powders serve as a pretty good aid.
As a result, it is difficult for the undead army to be replenished directly from the battlefield. They can only make up for the loss of troops by searching for the living in the places they have occupied, and digging graves. However, those newly transformed dead are basically very unlikely to have any high-level undead, even at the level of ghouls.
So, although the human forces in the grip of the Iron Horse suffered heavy losses and fought less and less, in fact, the undead on the opposite side were not much better.
After the King's Guard, a new force, arrived in the grip of the Iron Horse, the strength of the human army increased considerably, and even surpassed the undead on the opposite side in numbers, not to mention the ability to fight alone.
Pehince even planned a counterattack. Schindlaire's forces attacked from the Iron Horse's Grip, taking the undead army by surprise, destroying many enemies and even breaking up their formations.
Seizing the opportunity, the human army began a full-scale counterattack. The undead army that attacked the Iron Horse's grip really couldn't resist it, and it was defeated repeatedly, not only was a large number of troops wiped out, but the entire formation had to retreat.
Pehins's Western Front even beat these undead back to the fir territory for a time, and approached Blackwood City.
However, after that, Pehin still didn't really launch a real attack on Blackwood City, which was more risky after all. Nor did she intend to secure the place she had regained, because there was no danger to defend. The Iron Horse's Grip Line, which has been in operation for a long time, is still the best place to resist the undead.
The main goal of her troops is to destroy as many enemies as possible and reduce the number of undead, rather than recovering land.
In the end, her troops retreated to the Iron Horse's grasp.
However, compared to Hindlaire's impressive play in Florence, Prudeli's recent situation has been much worse.
