Chapter 489: A Bad News
Top Picks: γγγγγγγ
From the very beginning, the cadets of the academy knew that this was going to be a tough battle.
Although the Tianhui Campus claims to have one million students, a large number of them are ordinary students below the elite level. In addition, on the vast New World Continent, the Academy also needs to arrange some forces everywhere. Coupled with the carrying capacity of the main city of Teldashir itself, the total number of students who really gathered here to prepare for the battle was only 300,000 at most.
In contrast, the Bronze Dragon Tribe had no such worries.
Their large armies were loosely assembled in the area of Teldashir, with each legion ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, forming a circle and layer by layer. Its total number is more than two million. Because of the absolute disadvantage in numbers, the outposts on the outposts outside the main city of Teldashir were basically directly abandoned. A few towns, such as Shuangyue Town, where Hu Siming had been, also took the initiative to retreat after a slight delay and the city walls were broken.
The initial process of probing and consumption lasted about two days.
After the main force was completely assembled, the first army of the Bronze Dragon Tribe gradually pressed under the main city of Tedahir. Because the idea and center of gravity were clear from the beginning of its establishment, this magnificent city built on the mountain has a defense comparable to the defense line of Taling. Due to the larger area, the total number of defensive towers scattered along the walls is even higher than that of Tower Ridge. If they want to break through such a city defense, the Bronze Dragon Tribe will have to pay a huge price.
However, the natives of the New World don't care about sacrifice.
Driven by pure-blooded dragons and aboriginal heroes, the first Half-Dragons were stationed three kilometers below the city. The legion of half-dragon people, with a total of more than 100,000 people, has been spreading out for ten miles, giving people a feeling of boundlessness. The students looked down from the top of the city of Teldashir, and many of them turned pale. However, such a powerful legion is actually only the vanguard of the Bronze Dragon Tribe, not even a tenth of the army!
Some of the inexperienced students were greatly shaken in confidence.
Compared with many students who experienced this kind of scene for the first time, Hu Siming was much calmer.
Although he has only been in school for two years, he has experienced the Sagittarius defection and the Tower Ridge offensive and defensive battles not long ago. Although the tacit understanding between the two sides limited the number of participants, and all of them added up to a fraction of the number of participants in this battle, the high-end combat power was not bad at all. The 12 zodiac clubs of the two campuses are on the stage, and thousands of heroes are fighting!
After having that kind of experience, and then facing the seemingly surprising number of battles at this stage, but in fact the technical level is not high, you can calmly stand at a higher level and comment. Because of the overall arrangement of the club and the academy, the first batch of students to participate in the war could not take his turn. Such a big battle, before the city defense is breached, is basically filled with human lives, and it often lasts for many days. After the first two rounds of substitutions came down, it was his turn to appear with a few teammates.
The real battle officially began the day after the army crushed the city.
But on the same day, the students at the Radiant campus got an unexpected piece of bad news - or already bad news.
That is, the Dire campus can't provide them with assistance!
When they first heard the news, the students who hadn't figured it out all scolded. Although the two campuses do not deal with each other on weekdays, they are still the same for the aborigines. In the case that the overall strength is not dominant, it is even a bit of a cold meaning, and there is cooperation in the struggle. Before this, when the Dire Campus was attacked by the Red Dragon Tribe, the Radiant Campus was not without troops.
Are the Dire Campus stupid?Or do they think that the Radiant Campus has collapsed, and they can stand up to the five dragon tribes on their own?
For a while, indignation and curses abounded, and even the morale of the students with Tianhui was a little unstable.
However, a person may occasionally get dizzy, but a huge organization, an academy with millions of students, is not so easy to do stupid things, especially this kind of decision that is related to the overall situation. Although the Dire Campus had attacked Radiant not long ago, it was all played according to the rules at the table, and both sides still had a tacit understanding. This time the Bronze Dragon Tribe invaded, and the Dire actually knew what to do. However, they have a weak heart.
It's not that I don't want to shoot, but I'm also overwhelmed!
Almost at the same time as the general mobilization of the Bronze Dragon Tribe, the Red Dragon Tribe also made corresponding moves. Compared to the millions of legions of the Bronze Dragon, the scale of the Red Dragon's side is no worse. Of course, although they also pressed the territory with a large army, the * and fierce Cheng dΓΉ of the attack were weaker. Although there is an opportunity to teach the Dire campus and the province that they are too presumptuous, it is more of a siege than an attack.
The intention is obvious, to suppress the power of the Dire Campus and make it impossible for them to support!
After figuring out the reason, the righteous indignation of the Radiant students disappeared a lot. But they then saw the situation clearly, this time the Bronze Dragon Tribe's large-scale attack, they could only rely on their own strength to resist, and the Radiant Campus would no longer have any available reinforcements.
This heavy pressure made the faces of every student in the main city of Tedahir a lot more solemn.
The first day of the battle passed under this bad news and the destruction of the Half-Dragon Vanguard Legion.
As a barrier to the Academy's base camp, one of only three major cities in the New World, Teldashir's defensive strength is far beyond the imagination of ordinary half-dragons. And the elite students and pseudo-heroes who defend the city are even more lethal than modern heavy weapons. Like the ancient siege of the real world, at most a few thousand people were killed and wounded in a day, which is already a fierce battle. But under the city of Tedahir, it may be that a set of heroes can casually take away dozens of half-dragons.
The super high slaughter efficiency created the myth that 100,000 and a half dragons were wiped out in one day.
The Bronze Dragon Tribe's response to this was only two words: Hehe!
Ordinary half-dragon cannon fodder, how many in the new world, more death, the remaining half-dragons can get more territory and food. Unless it is a pure-blooded dragon man, let alone 100,000, even if it dies 1 million or 10 million, the Bronze Dragon Tribe will not take it to heart. Only one night passed, and the next day, there were more than 100,000 half-dragons under the main city.
Of course, the Bronze Dragon Tribe is not stupid, if it is just a simple way to drive people up, it is pure death or even the enemy, and it will not be effective at all. While they use the half-dragon man as cannon fodder to attract firepower, they are often followed by some relatively elite half-dragon high-level warriors, or an additional team of siege equipment, in short, try to consume the city wall and the defense towers inside.
This process is slow, and there are heroes such as the Treant Protector on the Radiant side who can repair the tower, so it will take a long time to see noticeable results. It's just that once the Bronze Dragon Tribe invests in the real high-level troops, and even lets the heroes and powerhouses enter in batches, the whole process will be accelerated by five times or ten times.
Only a day and a half after the siege began, Hu Siming got the opportunity to appear.
Su Xishui and Senior Sister Yi Cheng were arranged to other rounds. Only Yan Shaoou, Xu Guang and Shi Niu were left, and they were still in a group with him. Taking advantage of the gap between the attacks of the half-dragon army below, the four of them completed the change of defense and took over this section of the city wall of about ten meters.
On the eastern wall of the entire main city of Teldashir, this ten-meter section of the wall is only a very inconspicuous section. The average manpower density is higher than during Dire Darktide. But after the actual engagement, the cadets will find that although the distance that everyone has to defend is shorter, the pressure brought to them by the half-dragon army is not weak at all.
Because, compared to the instinctive attacks of the Dire Darktide monsters, the hybrid legions of half-dragons are much more organized.
Perhaps judging from the position, formation, etc., the 100,000 half-dragon people under the city seem to be very chaotic and unorganized. But judging from the overall rhythm and the coordination of the troops, you will find that they have high-ranking people in command, they are very organized, and the offensive is also full of three-dimensionality. Ordinary half-dragon warriors rushed directly to the city wall and stormed the wall, advanced half-dragon troops climbed to the top of the city using special ironwood ladders, and in the back row, the plant-controlled mages drove vines or mountain giant-like monsters to throw indifferent summons directly onto the city.
At the very edge of the battlefield, at a relatively safe distance, a row of catapults continued to destroy the city walls, and there were special half-dragons next to them who were responsible for protecting and repairing them.
Cannon fodder attracts fire under the walls, high-level units ascend to the city to kill, and catapults in the back row specialize in the walls and towers......
Although these coordination cannot be perfect, or even bad, but even so, once the initial coordination and system are formed, their combat power will be multiplied exponentially, bringing great pressure to the main city of Taidahir.
Of course, the Bronze Dragon Tribe is certainly fierce, and the academy that has fought with them many times naturally has a set. Again, it's a multi-layered defense, with each layer doing its job. The cannon fodder under the city walls does not need to be worried about the students on the city walls, and naturally there are defense towers and druid mages born of resources to deal with it. Hu Siming's task is mainly to take out those high-level troops who climb up.
Being able to use tools is the biggest difference between humans and Warcraft. The natives of the New World were able to make siege items such as ladders, which is enough to show their wisdom. And, thanks to the right materials and magically reinforced, this very heavy ironwood ladder is extremely tough. It is difficult to overturn, and it is even more difficult to destroy, and in the first engagement, Hu Siming and the others were still killed by five or six half-dragon people Gray Seal warriors despite attacking the Iron Wood Cloud Ladder with all their might.
As you can tell from the name, they are a special class with unique abilities like the Akahata Boiling Blood Archers, not the so-called "half-dragon warriors" and "half-dragon overseers".
Half-Dragon Man Grey Seal Warrior!
Rating Lv20, Blue Name Enhancement Level.
Excellent strength, attack and defense, speed, and decent health make the Half-Dragonman Grey Seal warrior look quite versatile, and it is almost impossible to find obvious weaknesses. Their unique ability, the Gray Seal, can be applied to enemies and increase the damage dealt by basic attacks. Each stack of Grey Marks increases the damage taken by the trainee by 15. Even if it is a meat shield with the main attribute of strength, after receiving a blow from three layers of gray seals, the blood volume will still be knocked out by *ten points.
Not to mention ordinary mages, as long as they are touched, they will inevitably break a hundred damage!R1071
