Chapter 459: Westward Expansion

The defense of Yatan City is very interesting, it is actually a one-sided defense mode, with all the troops on the eastern wall, and equipped with heavy weapons (such as catapults, giant crossbows, etc.)

In the west of the city, there are only a small number of city defense troops to defend it, according to the news of Evan Anweimar, the entire western end of the city wall is not only garrisoned by only 1,000 people, but even the overall height of the city wall is much lower than that of the east, of course, this is understandable, after all, the area where Yetan City is located is too similar to the Hangu Pass of the Qin State, and the north and south sides of Yetan City are continuous towering 10,000-meter peaks (in the magic world, 10,000-meter peaks can also be had!). Coupled with the particularity of this twilight world, even an epic powerhouse cannot fly over a 10,000-meter-high mountain, so it has formed a unique defense pattern in Yatan City.

But what the commander of Yatan City never imagined was that this attack could be undead, they don't need to breathe, they are not afraid of exhaustion, so climbing over a 10,000-meter-high mountain is basically the same as marching on flat land, of course, it may take longer to climb the mountain faster than on flat land, but this does not change the undead ignoring the characteristics of the mountain barrier.

Of course, this can't be blamed on the dwarf general of Yatan City, after all, Yatan City has not experienced war for more than 100 years, the most recent one was 143 years ago when the dwarves were attacked by werewolves and ancient humans, they were forced to give up a province outside the Guanwai that they had developed with great difficulty (at that time, the dwarves had just begun to develop the land), and finally retreated back to the pass with the walls of Yatan City and their sophisticated weapons, and finally after 2 years of fighting, werewolves and ancient humans suffered heavy losses and had to retreat, and although the dwarves suffered a lot of losses, they still pursued with all their strength and defeated werewolves and ancient humans in one fell swoop, opened up two provinces in the north and south.

Therefore, in this offensive and defensive battle, the dwarves also chose to wait for work, rather than taking the initiative to go out of the city to fight, of course, there is of course the arrangement of the lord of Yatan City, but also the dwarves' confidence in the north and south provinces, after all, according to intelligence, the first place where the enemy appeared was the vortex fortress, then the enemy must be from the place connected to the underground world, so the dwarf general's staff believes that they should hold on and wait for the combined forces of the two provinces in the north and south to attack the enemy's back, and at that time, they can naturally take down the enemy at the minimum cost。

It is precisely because of this that the dwarves sit quietly and wait for the arrival of the undead, but what they don't know is that the two northern and southern provinces that they firmly believe in have already taken care of themselves, and the southern provinces are okay, after all, the main force is only being dragged down now, and the northern provinces are miserable for all their local armies, governors and provincial generals, and all the soldiers, and at the same time the werewolves are ready to move, it can be said that the northern provinces are already in danger!

However, these Yetan cities obviously don't know, this is the limitation brought about by the era when communication was basically based on roaring, and they don't even know that their own people are already in danger, otherwise Yetan City would not sit back and wait for the enemy to arrive, but immediately ask for help from the king!

Of course, even if they know now, it's too late, because the undead have already come to the city under the leadership of the three giants of the undead, including 140,000 dwarven undead who have been transformed locally, 300,000 old members of the undead legion mobilized from other planes, and 70,000 mobile troops from the underground world, plus the gargoyles and meat grinders produced by the base, the total number of the undead westward legion is no less than 600,000.

And the city of Yatan is obviously not weak, and they have removed those auxiliary troops, Technical troops, the combat dwarves alone have as many as 80,000 troops, and have 2,000 catapults and 1,500 giant crossbows, which can be said to be far above the Foundry City in terms of defense, but it is not surprising, after all, although Yetan City is inferior to the Foundry City in terms of city size and area, it is stuck in the throat of the dwarven territory, so for such a special geographical location of the city part-time fortress, its defense is naturally far above all other cities except the royal city.

And if the undead really use 600,000 troops to defeat this city that has been transformed from the city of Yatan to the fortress of Yatan, then although it will definitely win, it will lose at least half of its troops, or even more.

Of course, this is not an unacceptable loss for the undead, after all, the undead's attack pattern has always been like this, and even as long as they can win, then even if they are exhausted, anyway, as long as the mages and the undead are still alive, then soon the corpses of these enemies will be turned into new undead legions.

But this time it won't work, because this is only the first level on the way to the west, if you fight half of it now, then you can't fight next, after all, if you break through Yetan City, then the royal capital will definitely send heavy troops to come immediately, and even if the dwarven army and civilians of Yetan City are revived at that time, after all, these new undead are not as experienced as the old undead.

The undead also need experience, like those who have just been revived are inexperienced blank pieces of paper, although they have no wisdom like the old undead, but for the reason of just revival, their body instinctive reaction still retains some dwarf characteristics, that is, the force will leave three points of force to offset the reaction force, and as a result, the real power of the undead will naturally not be able to beat the real power of the undead, and those old undead will not be like this, they will use 100% of their strength to attack directly, without considering the reaction force to hurt the muscles, Problems with the muscles and veins.

In addition, there is an instinctive reaction in the face of the enemy's attack, the instinct of the newly revived undead is naturally to dodge, and the old undead will not, because the undead are not afraid of being hurt, unless it is the kind of broken hands and feet, so the old undead will not dodge at all in the face of the attack that removes the hands and feet, but will use the wound for life style to directly take the enemy's attack and then drop the opponent!

Therefore, this batch of old undead can be said to be able to win the new undead in one or two, and it is precisely because of this that these undead cannot be lost in the first level of westward expansion, after all, the truth that good steel is used on the blade is very clear even if it is the undead triumvirate!

Therefore, in the end, after planning while marching, it was decided that Raven would lead a group of newborn undead to attack the dwarven Yetan Fortress (Yetan City), while Anubarak would lead the old undead to climb over the 10,000-meter-high mountain from the western city wall as a breakthrough point, and Kel'thugad would leave a part of the sapper-type undead overseer No. 47 Naxxramas Necropolis to reduce casualties in the later battles!

After all, the hard bone of the royal city needs at least hundreds of thousands of undead souls to fill it!
