Chapter 27: The First Taste (8)
Helan City.
Yesterday's corpse lay quietly under the city wall, telling the story of the fierceness of yesterday's battle.
Stuyard's army copied yesterday's tactics, but there were minor improvements, such as almost every man with a shield this time. It is possible to sacrifice a little speed to provide protection to soldiers, and this is also the hard lesson of yesterday. The bombs dropped on the city walls yesterday were really uncomfortable, and it would be nice to be able to resist them with a shield for a while.
Coyle clenched the reins, his palms sweating slightly. Although he pulled one back yesterday, the lesson from last time was too painful and Koyle became much more cautious. In the past, he lamented in Stuyard that he was invincible among his peers, and he was really lonely. Now I find that when the real opponent comes, he is not as excited and excited as he imagined. Nervousness, fear prevailed. I'm afraid that Wayne will come up with something new.
Besson now has the word "grievance" written in his eyes, and he has been handpicked by Wayne as Medina's bodyguard. Ensures Medina's safety when casting spells, and not being interrupted by elves.
It's good that Besson didn't take the knife in his hand and hack the magician to death, let alone protect him.
So when Beisen slashed people today, he also got up and fell, a few points faster than yesterday. Those who don't know think he's obeying orders to protect the magician. It was only when Balde had been with Besson for a long time that he knew that Besson was venting his anger.
His grandmother's, that bullshit magician, the spell hasn't been finished yet! Lao Tzu has cut off the heads of three long-eared monkeys.
Besson grumbled inwardly, but didn't dare to say it, for fear of actually interrupting Medina's spell. As if he had a heart-to-heart relationship with Beisen, Beisen had just finished complaining when a fireball as big as two people took shape and flew towards the ladder.
Boom~!
The fireball, much more powerful than a grenade, exploded, the wooden ladder was quickly shattered, and the enemy troops under the walls rolled in the fire.
"Good!"
Besson quickly changed his face and exclaimed, there was a magician really his grandmother's leftovers. Pull Medina to the next location.
Medina said with a pained expression.
"I ate something bad this morning and needs to fix it. ”
Bessen suddenly lost his temper, he wasn't casting spells anyway, and he grabbed Medina's collar and said viciously.
"If there is, I will pull it into the crotch of my pants, otherwise don't blame grandpa for not knowing people!"
Medina's face turned pale with fright when she saw this battle.
"My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. ”
Only then did Beson loosen his collar, and he didn't know if it was just a bad breath or a majesty. I'm in a good mood. Laughing, he rushed towards the elves.
Badr also saved a lot of trouble this time, carrying a sword everywhere to support, and looking for Medina when he encountered hard stubble.
Coyle was not in such a good mood, looking at the fireballs that kept coming out, he had also seen the world. There's a fire mage on the other side!
How could Nolan have a magician!
The two messengers beside him looked at Koyle with sympathetic eyes. This is still in Herland, and he has encountered such a difficult opponent, it seems that if he goes to Nolan, it will take a lot of effort for this Stuard genius.
"Wait, don't you feel like there is a little less artillery sound today, you can see the explosion point! Today's explosion on the west side is 20% less than yesterday's. Yesterday there was an artillery piece there, but today it's gone!
Koyle had mixed feelings, but the joy was that it was a little less difficult to break through Helan. The worry is that the status of this artillery is estimated to decline in the hearts of the two envoys, and when the time comes, it is estimated that there will be fewer reinforcements when he attacks Nolan.
The two envoys also calculated in their hearts that this cannon would be broken! But even if it will be bad, I have observed the battlefield in the past few days, and I know that even if it will be broken, the value is not small.
But there is no doubt that Coyle has no way to deal with Wayne's newly revealed hole cards right now. Now there is only consumption, and it will be consumed until the day when the Helan city wall can no longer support it!
Wayne was in the command room, listening to the fighting on the city walls, the incessant sound of artillery. The situation on the city wall is also roughly restored in my heart, and it is not a problem to keep Helan like this!
But in order to be on the safe side, Wayne kept calculating the possible hole cards on the opposite side and calculating the countermeasures at the same time. After thinking about it for a while, Wayne felt that there seemed to be nothing else to do on the other side except to consume it with himself.
After thinking about himself, Wayne was also thinking about the situation on Barnfinger's side. He Lan is barely supporting, so what should be the situation in the black chess market. Moreover, their only magician was captured by himself, and life may be even more difficult. But if it is breached, it is fine, because the empire will send troops to rescue it. Unless they can rest assured that the elves will not cross the plains of the Empire's hinterland in Vasser.
As for whether Nolan will suffer from the enemy, Wayne has not thought about it. As long as the elves are not afraid of the Empire's army, Wayne doesn't know how to solve it. After all, even with artillery, steel armor, and prismatic walls, with this little soldier in their hands, they can't change the outcome of the war, that's hundreds of thousands of troops!
Wayne and Coyle can only consume each other, and as for who it will be, the slowly erected walls of Nolan speak for themselves.
Heiqi City is not so good, in the case of sufficient ammunition, soldiers, and food, this first Xiongguan in the northwest can no longer be defended. Now the first Xiongguan in the northwest is also not worthy of the name, the broken city wall, the broken arm beam of the catapult. It indicates that this black chess market may fall at any time.
Willier was already discussing with the generals how to break out. After all, they who have lost their geographical advantage will only be slowly strangled by the elves here, and now it is the way to break through and defend against Wasser.
The question is how to break through, being surrounded by layers of defense.
The thought of the elf's bow and arrow made everyone's faces feel heavy. Willier pointed to the south gate of the Black Chess City.
"The elves have set up layers of defense here, and it is very difficult for us to break through, so we have tried to take the initiative these days. Try how hard the defense line is here. If you run away, you will die a lot, but if you don't run away. and they were all dead. ”
With the boss laying out the main strategy, the generals then discussed how to implement it.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"General Willier, a soldier asked me today why I haven't seen Barn Finger in the Black Chess City. General, I'm afraid this secret won't be kept for long. ”
Willier frowned.
"Find someone of a similar stature and put on Barnfinger's clothes. It will be a while to be able to hide it. Otherwise, the army's spirit will be scattered, and it will be self-defeating. ”
"Then we must hurry up and break out, return to Vasser for a short rest, and then retreat. Let the Imperial Army settle this trouble!"
Willier was shocked in his heart, but he still said calmly.
"Don't rush to break through, let's test the elves' defense line first, if the defense line in the south is really ..."
Willier did not dare to speak of the terrible consequences.
