Chapter 326: Senseless Casualties (I)

People are burned by flames, and the pain is unimaginable. So in the canon of the Holy See. The account of hell is dedicated to the description of the hell of fire.

Those who do not believe in God will suffer the torment of hellfire.

The soldiers who were now climbing the walls were obviously followers of the gods, and flames were spewing out of the cracks in their armor. The soldiers were still conscious, but they didn't feel the pain, and they still wanted to climb up to the top of the city and fight for the gods.

The walls are thirty meters high, and even if there is no fire blocking the way, it will be difficult for soldiers to climb up. As soon as the oil burned, the mucus on the soldiers' gloves slowly lost its effect, and more than a hundred soldiers fell down because the mucus failed because of the failure of the mucus.

The undead at the head of the city simply leaned out and shot with their bows and arrows. The steel arrow-covered shot of the steel arrow cart knocked down the undead who poked their heads out. The unlucky undead was shot in the head, and the soul flame dispersed with a bang, and then fell to the ground, not knowing whether it was seriously injured and returned to the undead plane. Or simply died on the continent of Myers.

Saleen didn't use all his power either, at least he didn't let all the trebuchets destroy the steel wheels. He is not afraid of delaying time, and the longer it drags on, the fewer means the enemy will have at his disposal. He gave the enemy some hope first, so he didn't even let the mage release the battle puppet and go to the city to intercept the enemy's infantry.

Secretly relaxed in this way, Tangulas soldiers began to climb the city walls, carrying flames on their bodies, to fight the undead. On the walls of the city of Metatrin, the battlements were built extremely high, and the enemy fired at an upward angle, only to the soldiers who showed their heads. Only hanging shots can threaten those hiding behind the wall, and it is only then that Saleen sends heavily armored soldiers to clear the enemy.

In fact, within the radius of these two miles, there are only more than 3,000 undead. The main skill of these undead is archery and fighting with humans, only in terms of strength they do not suffer, but in terms of skills, they are very bad.

There were not many cavalry in Metatrin, mainly because of the difficulty of training in horsemanship, but the number of hoplites was always large, because the barbarians and Caucasians could fight in heavy armor without even training. Most of the soldiers recruited by Saleen were also people who practiced swordsmanship, and there were very few peasant soldiers.

Saleen cherishes the farmers, and it is easy to learn how to farm, but he wants to make the grain productive. In addition to the magician's potions, farmers with more than ten years of experience are required to farm.

In Salin's hands, even the slaves were professional soldiers.

There are five types of heavy armor, and what Saleen is now sending is an all-metal heavy armor soldier, this kind of heavy armor is only suitable for defensive warfare, it is troublesome to wear, difficult to carry, and the armor is difficult to disassemble and assemble. However, if you wait for work at the head of the city, this kind of heavy armor can even withstand the onslaught of cavalry.

All-metal heavy armor is not a problem to defend against ordinary crossbow arrows, the soldier's left hand, the armor is directly welded with a short blade, and the right hand weapon is a short spear. The Tangulas soldiers climbed the walls, and immediately hundreds of hoplites rushed out.

These soldiers did not need to maintain their physical strength, and with the help of the magician's great strength technique, hundreds of soldiers ran, carrying the weight of more than fifty pounds of armor and metal short spears, and slammed into the Tangulas soldiers.

The Tangulas soldiers were wearing light armor, and this one blow. and crushed hundreds of Tangulas who had climbed over the walls. It felt like heavy cavalry rushing through the light infantry position, hundreds of all-metal heavy infantry let out a rumbling footstep, and after the impact, they stood firm, turned and killed back.

The Tangulas soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were covered in fire and their vision was blurred, and they were not at all the opponents of the heavy infantry who had been blessed with the Great Strength Technique. It is not surprising that Salin has so many low-level mages in his hands, and he is also the defender of the city, the walls are thirty meters high, and they can suppress the enemy's magic or magic in themselves. When the troops are still sufficient, it is too wasteful to not suppress the enemy who climbs the city.

Under the city wall, more than a dozen low-level magicians joined forces to release a glorious impact, and the white holy light shot out violently towards the city wall, and suddenly a passage more than fifty meters wide was opened by the holy light, and the flames from the burning oil were extinguished under the holy light.

The nearby soldiers immediately rushed to the fifty-meter safety and desperately climbed up.

On a width of fifty meters, the undead struggled to defend themselves, and their bows and arrows fired faster than human archers, but they were not as accurate. It is not surprising that low-level magic can extinguish fires, even if they are suppressed by Dante's sequence on the city wall, those Tangulas are like dragons and tigers, screaming wildly, struggling to move forward in the holy light.

The steel arrow carts five hundred meters away were still firing, and dozens of arrow carts adjusted their angles and began to shoot so that they could threaten the soldiers at the head of the city. Seeing this, Salin did not let the cavalry move, and the heavy infantry was still difficult to be shot. But the area of the cavalry was too large, and even if the horse was shot, the cavalry would fall and be seriously injured.

Soldiers began to climb over the city and come to the city walls. The soldiers went up to the wall, but they were stunned. For there is a passage ten meters wide in this wall. With such a wide passage, not to mention the war horses, even the chariots can gallop on it. Behind the passage, there is a complex and eccentric complex of buildings,

Every 500 meters, there is a tall fixed arrow tower, below which is still a ten-meter-wide tunnel, but above the corridor, there are sideways shooting holes. Any soldier who storms the head of the city will also be subjected to crossbow bolts from both sides.

The shooting hole on the arrow tower did not fire, and Saleen saw that it was still light infantry rushing up. A dozen low-level mages commanded the battle golems and joined the ranks of the hoplites, slaying the Tangulas soldiers alongside.

Archbishop Nicholas was overjoyed when he saw that his soldiers had attacked the city and occupied a fifty-meter-wide area, and then frowned. It is impossible for the enemy to be unable to hold this fifty-meter-wide non-fire passage so early. No matter how many soldiers climbed up, they did not continue to expand the area of occupation.

All the soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were confined to this fifty meters, which was clearly a strategy for the enemy.

"Kane, your soldiers, when did you take part in the attack?" Archbishop Nicholas sighed in his heart, and affectionately addressed the commander of the Tangulas Empire. His identity was originally far higher than that of the other party.

The legion commander put down the alchemy binoculars and said to Nicholas: "Your Excellency, you have also seen that the enemy's defense is very tight, and the strength is sufficient. Our arrow carriages are simply not capable of causing effective suppression, nor can they shoot and wound several enemies. Now send the main force, the loss is too great. At least until the enemy is tired. ”

"Kane, unless I have 300,000 men in my hands, attack on two sides, and suppress the enemy on a front of more than ten miles, the enemy will not be tired. Archbishop Nicholas voiced his concerns.

The strength in this city will not be less than 50,000 people at all. The number of inhabitants will not be 100,000 either. All the information is wrong, and if you want to take down this city, you can only rely on those guys from the Inquisition. But if the power in his hands is not consumed to a certain extent, those three guys will only continue to wait and see.

"Otherwise, let's contact the Pope and ask him to send a high-level magician with heavy equipment. ”

Nicholas smiled bitterly: "How far have we traveled? 20,000 miles? Or 25,000 miles? Even if the Pope is willing to support, our food and grass will not be enough to support for so long." ”

The legion commander was also speechless, this place was too far away from his own empire, and the magician could fly more than 2,000 miles a day without eating or drinking? Even if he was blessed with divine magic, it was impossible for the magician to fly in half a month, and the food was only four days, and he himself knew it. The only person who can rely on it at the moment is himself.

"Those three guys, don't you want to obey the Pope's orders?" the legion commander was not reconciled, he still hoped that the people of the Inquisition would attack first. As long as those jailers are mobilized, their more than 20,000 regular troops are behind, and they will definitely have a chance to break through the city gates.

"Even if they don't listen, what can I do? I'm afraid I won't have a chance to return to the Glorious Plains, Kane, don't spare the lives of the soldiers, launch a large-scale attack at night, and I'll discuss it with the three of them." ”

The legion commander listened to Nicholas's deeply sad words and said angrily: "My lord, my family of Solomon. You go and urge the three of them, at twenty-two o'clock in the evening, I will let the army launch a strong attack, if they don't do it, I will not let them go if they die!"

"Well, you go get the elixir and let your soldiers rest first, or wait until midnight before attacking, and delay it for two more hours. "Archbishop Nicholas knew in his heart that even if he entered the city, he would not be able to take advantage of it in street fighting. It can be seen from the deployment of the city head that the number of magicians in this city exceeds that of most of Qin Yin's cities.

What Nicholas didn't understand was that such a city construction could be said to be a waste, and the enemy could use the same materials to build ten cities of the same size, and even defend against his own attacks in the area of Broken Blade Pass. But the enemy just used all his strength to cower in this white city.

Of course, he didn't know that Salin built this city to protect the spatial teleportation array, and after Jason arrived, he would open up a teleportation array to the half-plane, and the importance of this teleportation array exceeded that of ten big cities. If you can't protect the teleportation array, the mage who enters the half-plane may never come back.

Salin was even more puzzled than Nicholas, he was at the head of the city, and saw the main army in the rear of the enemy and the black armor army of five thousand men, and there was no movement. The three terrible fellows also returned to the Black Armor Army, and did not attack the city.

The attacks under the city are endless, this is a strategy for tired soldiers? However, their own manpower is enough to defend on the two-mile-wide city wall in turn, and even if they fight like this for half a month, their soldiers will not get tired.

This tactic of constantly adding cannon fodder has no pressure on you at all. Because there are not many soldiers who can climb to the top of the city, the mage in his own hands can hide in the building and support the infantry and even cavalry in front. If you don't have a strong main army to attack, you don't have to sit here and supervise the formation.
