582. Miscalculation
Of course, he didn't know the news that the Black Flame Demon Clan's hundreds of black-beaked giant eagle knights had been wiped out, otherwise he wouldn't have led five thousand demon warriors so carelessly.
This is already Gnorton's caution, the three commanders who came with him all felt that the general was making a big deal, and the army in charge of logistics needed to be more flexible, so General Gnorton had 10,000 black-beaked giant eagle air cavalry in his hands, and one of the commanders under him was the commander of the air force, and among the five thousand demon soldiers, the black-beaked giant eagle air cavalry accounted for 1,500 people.
Gnorton, who has always been steady and conservative, is also confident that he can easily capture this stronghold and become the first victory in the demon invasion war.
Before coming to Badaling, after learning about the specific situation, Gnorton felt a little tricky, and being able to eliminate the scattered hundreds of black-beaked giant eagle air cavalry showed that this mountain still had good defensive strength, and if it didn't come out before, it could only show that the other commander's conservatism and stability.
Despite this, Gnorton did not send additional soldiers to come, he was good at dealing with such an opponent, and he did not believe that the people of the Western Regions Continent could compare with the fierce demon warriors.
The attacking troops he sent were not those troll shield infantry under the Black Flame Demon Man, but the real elite of the Annihilation Realm, the heavy armored steel shield warriors used to siege the city!
Holding a two-meter-high steel giant shield, the black Yaren who shrank behind the steel shield all over his body, each of them is a warrior who lifts a thousand pounds, and the thick steel shield is afraid that only the bed crossbow can penetrate it, Avison himself has no problem, but the marksman under his command does not have this ability.
The heavily armored steel shield warriors shrank behind the giant steel shield with their whole body exposed, and the steel shield tilted back slightly was a good defense against enemy projectiles, and the steel shield mixed with a small amount of mythril allowed these heavy steel shield warriors to resist some magic.
Before leaving, the magicians of the demon clan also blessed them with low-level anti-demon Dafa, and the best way to deal with these iron warriors is to use trebuchets for savage projectiles.
Such a force is an elite force among the powerful demon warriors, and there are not many of them. Gnorton couldn't tolerate any mistakes on their part, and sent five hundred black-beaked eagle cavalry armed with bows and arrows to cooperate with their advance.
Behind the heavily armored steel shield warriors was a strong archer force, a typical archery battle formation, and Gnorton believed that with absolute strength, the opponent could not play any tricks.
Under the cover of the indiscriminate fire of the air cavalry, the heavily armored steel shield warriors began to advance steadily.
The Badaling marksmen in the fog of war all stay in the solid bunkers, and they are not afraid of the indiscriminate fire of the opponent's air cavalry and strong archers, unless the opponent can really happen to shoot in through the arrows of their bunkers.
Under Avidson's command, the marksman aimed at the black-beaked eagle cavalry in the Annihilation Field, while two small catapults threw a dozen large water bladders in succession.
There are many catapults in Badaling, but they are all placed near the city gate halfway up the mountain, which is only the first point to attack the enemy, because it is open on all sides, it is easy to be captured by the other side, so there is no large war equipment, so as not to cheapen the enemy.
Both catapults were small catapults, and even if they threw stones, it would be difficult to deal a blow to the enemy's heavily armored steel shield warriors, so what Avison threw was only a water bladder.
The water bladder bag kept being thrown out, and the heavy steel shield warriors thought it was fire oil or poisonous water or something at first, but later found out that it was just ordinary water, and they didn't know what tricks the other party wanted to play, so they still steadily advanced towards the other side, as long as it was another thirty meters, the magicians mixed in the team could cast a dispel magic and dispel all the abominable fog of war.
It's a pity that the fog of war can't move, otherwise with a fog of war, the other side won't be able to see their own actions, and it's better to assault.
What Gnorton didn't think of, at this distance, countless white lightning erupted from the fog of war, hundreds of lightning bolts fell on the steel shield, the steel shield that had been soaked with water, and the water flowing on the channel, it was better to extend the power of lightning to the body of the black man, this round of powerful magic blows, suddenly made the dozen or so black people in front of him scream and fell on the top of the channel, the smell of the meat being burned, and the wind blew into the nose of the demon warrior, making people almost want to vomit.
One after another, there were countless lightning strikes.
Judging by Gernaughton's sharp gaze, in just one minute, the other party had already sent out more than six hundred thunderbolts!
What a terrible statistic, two hundred elite heavy-armored steel shield warriors, all of them shrunk and fell to the ground, but that was not a reason to shock Gnorton. To Gnorton's shock, there were so many magicians hiding on this hill!
Thunderbolt is only a second-level magic that can be cast by an intermediate magician. But it is absolutely impossible for an intermediate mage to cast two thunderbolt lightning spells in one minute, in other words, the other party has at least five hundred intermediate mages, or two hundred and fifty high-level mages!
Even in the Annihilation Realm, where the population is large and there are many masters, the mage is a powerful profession that is scarce in number.
Now in a small area of war fog on the other side, there are so many magicians and archers with sharp archery hidden in the opposite side, what is going on? Are the people of the Western Regions Continent crazy to put such valuable war resources in the heart of the demon army?
General Groton's body trembled slightly, not from fear, but from excitement.
Although the mage without the protection of the warrior is powerful, it is not terrible, and the Western Regions Continent has sent such a generous gift to himself, and Gnorton can't help himself if he doesn't accept it.
However, more than 500 magicians gathered together, even if 5,000 people were together, I am afraid it would be difficult to get close to each other, and the strength and mystery of magicians are well known.
Therefore, Gnorton's tone was a little hurried, and he ordered his own soldiers to send more troops, and also transferred the magician army, which numbered fifty people.
Gnorton didn't expect at all that the Badaling warriors were only using the magic lightning gloves made by ancient alchemy technology, and the magic lightning gloves could be fired once in five seconds as long as the energy was sufficient, and more than five hundred lightning bolts were only shot by a hundred archers wearing magic lightning gloves.
The number of magic lightning gloves made in Badaling is close to two thousand, which is an important capital for ordinary warriors in Badaling to fight against the powerful forces of the demon race.
If you really fight with the warriors of the heavy armor and steel shield, among the warriors of Badaling, I am afraid that only the Demon Swordsman troops and the rock giant heavy armor troops can win with confidence, and the others, I am afraid that they will have to be several times their number to destroy the other party.
