The air forces of the Imperial Army are still bombing.

The bombardment did not cease until dawn on the fifth day.

But Vega, Coverdale, and every soldier in the rebels knew that the real war was coming, and that the five days of air force plowing were just an appetizer.

Soldiers came out of the dugout.

With their tired feet, they re-entrenched themselves on the towers and defensive lines, waiting for the Imperial Army to launch a formal attack.

"In such a state, can the rebels really hold the city of war?"

Vega looked at Coverdale from afar, he was a little unsure if the rebels could withstand the Empire's frenzied attack in their current state. Because for the rebels, these five days of air force plowing are hellish difficulties, let alone the next meal?

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. ”

Hausman also looked at Coverdale and said: "Although ten or twenty Coverdale are not as good as you in terms of war talents, and even if you pointed him out the general direction of guiding public opinion, he doesn't know how to operate the details, but he is able to fight against the Imperial Army to this day, and he is definitely not without his ability." ”

"Oh, what else is there to do about this Coverdale?"

"I don't know, but if it weren't, I'm afraid the rebels would have ceased to exist. ”

The two stopped talking and turned their eyes together to the first line of defense.

As can be seen from here, Coverdale did not cower in the rear, like the commanders of the other forces, and paid great attention to hiding his coordinates, he completely exposed himself to the enemy's sight, standing at the forefront and leading the whole army.

Da Da Da –

The sound of uniform footsteps echoed.

More than 200,000 troops of the Imperial Army came from near and far to the front of the City of War.

The first to stand up was the Wizards.

Inspired by the United Kingdom, the Imperial Army has in recent years begun to assemble mages into pure mage legions, covered by mages after the air force plows the ground.

Boom Boom Boom –

Flamebursts smashed down on the city walls.

Due to the disproportionate high-level force of the two sides, the rebel side could only barely defend, and there were countless casualties for a while.

The fire coverage lasted for a full hour, and when the magician ran out of mana, the army began to charge at the bewildered rebels, and this charge even shattered the city gates.

"Don't stop, don't stop!"

Under the protection of the guards, Coverdale took the lead, raising his arms and shouting: "Hold on for another half hour, hold on for another half hour and we will be victorious, behind us are tens of millions of civilians standing in the entire war city, and the Imperial army will not want to defeat us!"

The morale boost that comes with a leader taking the lead is unimaginable.

The soldiers regarded Coverdale as a god, and as long as Coverdale was wielding his sword, no one took a step back.

When one person dies, the second fills that position; when one squad dies, another squad goes forward; one division is completely wiped out, and the second and third divisions are ready.

"The Imperial Army is no longer good, hold on!"

"Half an hour, another half an hour!"

"Swing your weapon one more time, and once again, use the last of your strength. ”

"We're about to win, and we're just one last step away!"

“......”

Coverdale roared again and again, swinging his sword again and again.

With their fearless combat style and self-explosive attack, the rebels forcibly prevented the Imperial Army from advancing.

This fight lasted for more than three hours.

"The army is temporarily retreating!"

A flare was lifted into the air, and the Imperial Army began to order the retreat of the army.

The Imperial Officer led by him angrily ordered the mages who had recovered 1/3 of their magic power to attack again: "Mage group, let me blow them up with magic!"

"All enter the trenches, pay attention to concealment!"

The rebels were not slow to move, and at the first moment of order, they stepped into the magical fortifications prepared in advance.

After the magical bombardment ended, the Imperial Army charged again.

The cycle repeated, and when the sun set on the mountainside, the Imperial army finally retreated.

"The enemy has retreated!"

"The enemy has retreated!"

"We're victorious!"

"Long live the chief, long live the chief!"

“......”

The rebels began to chant victory in celebration of the joy.

Vega finally understands why the rebels have been able to hold out to this day.

With such a risky battle as the leader who is not afraid of death, as long as Coverdale as the leader falls, absolutely no soldier will abandon Coverdale and retreat alone, which is probably the performance of the head sheep effect to the extreme.

As long as the head sheep leads the flock.

With more than 5 times the sacrifice of the Imperial Army, it is not surprising that it was able to hold the City of War.

This strategy has significant advantages, but equally significant disadvantages: being a commander carries a huge amount of risk. There is simply no star shadow mage in the Empire, otherwise a single photo can directly end this war.

Seeing this, Vega also breathed a sigh of relief.

This strategy was completely useless for him, because the Jialan Empire not only had him, a star-position shadow mage that even a speech mage could not detect, but also a weapon of war, a star elemental mage.

Both of these are natural restraints on the way the rebels fight.

"It's the stupidest way to fight. ”

After seeing the entire battlefield, Haussman said leisurely: "Even if the commander takes the lead and uses the blood of several times the enemy to pile up victory, can such a victory be called a victory? ”

"Your Excellency really doesn't like the way the rebels fight?"

Vega heard Hausman's words and spoke: "Although it seems very stupid, exchanging several times the sacrifice of the enemy for a victory that is not a victory will of course make you disdainful of you from a military academy, but ah...... This is indeed the way of survival for the weak. ”

"Fight for your life, win by numbers, simple and vulgar ......"

"This is the only weapon that the ungifted weak can use to defeat the strong. ”

"Your Excellency, who was born high, of course, cannot understand the helplessness of the weak. ”

Hausman was silent for a moment, and then said: "What you said may be reasonable, but the lower officials still dare not agree with this kind of tactics of injuring 800 enemies and losing 10,000 themselves, and the risks to be borne are too huge. ”

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward, isn't it?" replied with a smile.

As Vega said.

Over the next month, the rebels, led by Coverdale, resisted the onslaught of the Imperial Army again and again, keeping the Imperial Army out of the first line of defense.

The Imperial army is already a little angry, but there is no way, unless they can also launch a fierce attack without fear of sacrifice and at any cost like the rebels, but this is obviously impossible, and the Empire will never launch a general attack without sacrifice.

It seems that the situation is about to continue in this stalemate.

But at this time, there was an accident on the rebel side.
