"Chapter 391: Golem?"
"Attack!"
Philip rode a pegasus, floating in mid-air, wielding a sword, and his body exuded a faint golden light, and the battlefield auxiliary abilities of the royal knights were no worse than their combat abilities.
Tens of thousands of troops rushed into the city wall in this way, breaking the strong wall several times, and looking from my height, it was a dense torrent, which passed through the city wall and split into several strands, and then gathered together, and all the kingdom troops along the way would be swallowed up and killed in this huge army wave.
There was some peculiar fluctuation in my heart, and my body began to tremble, and I don't know where the excitement came from. For a moment, I even felt that even if an armored regiment of American imperialism came over, we could easily crush it, and even the weapons of modern technology and civilization could not stop our army.
"Little house, it looks like you're going to lose this time."
I thought silently in my heart, a little proud.
I had a private chat with Fang Zi for a while before the attack, and she thought that my attack was too hasty and that it was likely to fail, and suggested that I wait until she and Zeng Qiang's army arrived before attacking. We also made a bet that if I could capture Mantas before they arrived, Fang Zi would lose me a whole artillery unit, and a large pile of gunpowder weapons. Of course, if I lose, then I don't want to take advantage of the land after the victory.
"Attack with all your might, throw the follow-up troops into it, and the high-level combat power into it, and break through all the defenses on the periphery in one go."
I gave the order and committed most of my troops, which was a bit risky, but I believe that the kingdom is not strong enough to threaten a force of our size.
The last of the Padak chariots were also scrap metal at the feet of the giants, and the expensive and delicate magic weapons were also destroyed under the Valkyrie's great axe, and the troops of only a few thousand men were completely unable to resist the onslaught of the army in front of them, and all the troops were wiped out in a few minutes.
Our attack went very smoothly, because of the rapid contraction of the kingdom's defensive barrier, there were large vacancies in the outer area of Mantas, and those outer defenders who were left behind by the upper echelons of the kingdom became the best targets for our troops.
However, the city defense in this area is also stronger than before, and I sometimes really admire the Salondran the Great, and the Subic kingdom of that era, under the design and construction of skilled craftsmen at that time, Mantas from the main city, to the five kilometers around the city walls, everywhere all kinds of sturdy multi-storey civil buildings and towering watchtowers. In peacetime, these buildings can accommodate a large number of residents, and the watchtower can be used as a good way to keep an eye on the surrounding area, as well as fires. And those civil fences with an average height of more than three and a half meters are not only beautiful, but also anti-theft.
In times of war, these buildings became important defensive points against the enemy, with strong watchtowers becoming arrow towers, and defenders in private houses being able to engage in street battles against the walls. Under the restrictions of the terrain, the strong cavalry can only dismount, and the low-level infantry will be easily killed, in this case, the enemy's high-level warriors will have to be forced into this kind of place for attrition, and the losses will naturally be large. This kind of design thinking and construction cost are surprising.
Of course, there is a major hidden danger in the face of our offensive with this means of defense, that is, air defense!
The Sky Battlefield had begun, and William and Louis had reached the walls of Mantas, lingering in front of that defensive barrier, and even attacking. And the remaining elite air force of the kingdom was also blocked in the enchantment by the two sky battle masters, and they could only wait for the strong people of the kingdom to join the battlefield, and the air force fell into a very embarrassing situation.
Our air force can now run rampant in the skies beyond Mantas, and in our balloon bombardment and undead harassment attacks, these defenses are largely ineffective, and only a few magic weapons pose a threat to us.
And we also changed the way of attacking at this time, and instead of relying on a large number of skeleton troops and regular troops to launch a direct attack, we sent a large number of high-level archers to the front of the team, plus a small number of mages and musketeers, forming a dense network of fire, suppressing counterattacks from high places while slowly advancing with the army.
This tactic is very effective, and if the elite of the kingdom is not in the city of Mantas, those motley defenders will not be able to compete with our firepower, and will be killed by a variety of weapons as long as they show their heads. Even if they cowered, they could not stop the barbarians who pushed under the houses and broke into the doors, and they cut them into pieces.
With the cooperation of our open space, the defense of these outlying positions of Mantas is like papier-mâché, and I still can't understand why the kingdom would come up with such a stupid idea to let its own second-line troops die so easily, while not supporting them themselves, waiting for us to clear the perimeter and encircle them. No commander with the slightest experience would make such a move, even if they were not strong enough to send troops to support, such an indifference would be too strange. I believe that Salondron is not a fool, so naturally he can't do this just to give us heads.
I suddenly had a bad feeling that made me very uneasy. The strength has reached this point, although it is not too strong, but because of the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts and the blessing of the Night Witch at the beginning, my soul strength is not much worse than that of the Sky Battle Master, and the prediction of danger is not just as simple as intuition.
"Boom ----"
Just as I was thinking about whether or not to slow down the offensive, the situation on the battlefield changed a little, in fact, in the nearby areas.
Large chunks of the ground began to sink, and with them the buildings and troops on top. Such scenes were seen in more than a dozen places at once, from the side of the high slope to the underground of the outpost outside Mantas. I don't know what this 10-meter-diameter pothole is for, but it's certainly not going to be a good thing.
Things turned out just as I thought, and with a violent mechanical noise and a leak of elemental energy, a tall body crawled out of the underground pit.
The rock-like blue shell, the body carved with a hundred and ten kinds of magic patterns constantly flowed with a faint blue brilliance, and the huge single eye carved by the magic crystal swayed back and forth, as if to examine our troops. And on their bodies, there are also some fixed iron cables and iron buckles, which must have been placed underground and imprisoned for hundreds of years before awakening. On the arms of these strange things, special magic crystals are fixed, and their fists are more like hammers or maces.
"Constructs? Golem? ”
I don't know about it, but those two words come to mind.
