Chapter 631: The style of painting changed dramatically overnight
The next day, after a night's rest, the coalition army, which had received strong reinforcements from the dragon clan, launched another attack on Wulin Mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Just as the elders of the Four Holy Sects had predicted the worst-case scenario, after the defeat of the first day, the coalition forces also understood that it was not enough to deal with those human soldiers who could only rely on the array to strengthen their defenses by relying on the Dharma Protector Beast's personal strength. In the battle on the second day, the alien reinforcements composed of more than a dozen dragons and 3,000 white elf warriors became the main force attacking the mountain, and the attack route was no longer divided into three roads, but only attacked from the front.
So this time, the group of protector beasts in the wild pine forest and those ordinary demonic beasts were all killed, although not everyone of the three thousand white elf warriors was good at life magic, but absolutely everyone was the strongest forest combat archer who was proficient in psionic manipulation and bowing, and the dragon was an invincible existence for these demonic beasts or fallen monsters.
In the thunderous roar of the dragon, fire, frost, wind and thunder...... All kinds of dragon's breath swept across the wild pine forest, and the panicked monsters tried to survive in an environment that would be absolutely apocalyptic for them, but every time they accidentally emerged from the forest, they would be sniped by the white elves in the distance in groups of four or five, and they would be shot into a sieve by arrows blessed with pure spiritual energy.
Even if there were occasionally a few powerful demonic beasts with strength in the fifth or even sixth order, they were able to escape under the blow of this dense rain of magic and arrows and try to counterattack the dragons and white elves, but they would be immediately wiped out by the two white elf elders who were sweeping on the sidelines and the three-headed law-level dragons, including Selman.
It took almost less than an hour for the wild pine forest in front of it to be completely blasted out of a smooth way to attack the mountain by the combined forces of the dragon and the white elves...... That's right, it's a smooth road, maybe the white elves will not destroy the surrounding environment, especially the forest terrain, too much during the battle, out of the love of nature and forests in the thousands of years of racial tradition, but the dragons will not care about that. After the dragons' ploughing magic cover attack, the wild pine forest in front of it was directly made out of a "big road" where all the trees were broken or charred.
Such a scene simply made the generals of the royal court army who were preparing to attack behind the advance commando of the dragon and the white elves with the army dumbfounded, and at the same time, they finally had the most intuitive sense of what kind of creature the dragon was.
Phoenix Ancestor Blessing...... Luckily, we're not enemies with these monsters......
Seeing that the Dharma Protector Beasts who had driven them down from the mountain yesterday felt invincible, but now they were being driven around by the dragons like frightened chickens, some of Wang Tingjun felt relieved, and even had undeserved sympathy for the Four Holy Sects on the mountain.
To tell the truth, although the royal court's army went to the southeast this time to nominally assist the White Elf Clan in conquering the chaos evil and its accomplices, in fact, it used this reason to capture the territory of the eight southeastern counties. Chaos and demons are of course the public enemies of the continent, but the problem is that thousands of years have passed since the war of gods and demons, and it is not without thousands of years that there has been an affair with chaos with a stronger strength than the Phoenix Royal Court, but in the end, the disaster like that thousands of years ago has never happened again, so the Phoenix Royal Court really doesn't think that the Four Holy Sects can do anything even if they really hide some Chaos Demon Beasts. If that was the case, then they would have long been dissatisfied with the eight southeastern counties, but would directly attack the entire Eastern Continent and even replace the Phoenix Kingdom.
However, it is a pity that although the royal court really thinks that it is nothing for the Four Holy Sects to have an affair with Chaos, the White Elves and the Dragon Clan do not think so, because some fallen monsters that are powerful but do not seem to have much power as long as the enemy is on guard, they have provoked opponents like the White Elf Clan and the Dragon Clan, and the Four Holy Sects have really declined.
Just behind, Wang Tingjun even had the leisure to sympathize with the Four Holy Sects as enemies, and the group of Dharma Protector beasts in the wild pine forest on the mountain road in front of him had almost been cleaned up by the dragon and the white elves (the forest was almost destroyed). However, because of the extremely special characteristic of the chaos monster to spread chaos infection through attacks, the dragon clan and the white elf clan did not want to let even one Dharma Protector Beast slip through the net and bury any hidden dangers in the future, so this powerful advance team did not immediately attack the Zifeng Fortress, but scattered in two ways and began to sweep the remaining Dharma Protector beasts in the wild pine forest area on both sides.
Originally, the main purpose of this war was to eliminate these evil monsters hidden by the Four Holy Sects, so there was nothing to criticize about the Dragon Clan and the White Elf Clan's approach. However, it is indeed too much to let the army just wait here for the dragons and white elves to return after sweeping the Protector Beasts and then continue to attack the mountain, and after discussing with the national division and a group of generals, it was decided to first drive the army to camp near the Zifeng Fortress, even if it does not start to attack, it is necessary to test the defense strength of the Peak Fortress first.
The royal court army came to the vicinity of the peak of Zifeng unimpeded, this time the Four Holy Sects no longer had a group of Dharma Protector Beasts to come to the rescue, but what made the royal court generals feel strange was that even if there was no Dharma Protector Beast Group to rely on, the army of the Four Holy Sects in the Zifeng Fortress was too negative, until the royal court army approached the steep fortress wall of the Zifeng Fortress, the defenders in the fortress had no decent reaction at all, there was no collective rain of arrows, and no defensive equipment such as stone-throwing stones was put into use, and even the morale-boosting shouts were wilted, if it weren't for the fact that the front gate of the fortress was still closed, even if people feel that the defender has surrendered, there is not much sense of disobedience.
...... Maybe it would be better to arrange a slow military master on the city tower to put incense on it and play the piano?
Although there is obviously no allusion to the "empty city plan" in this different world, thanks to the continuous large and small wars of various races in the era of hegemony in the Douqi Era, the development of military science on the continent of Ares is not much behind the human civilization on the earth of a wolf girl's hometown, so there are really many classic examples of wars similar to the empty city plan and setting up ambushes in the empty city in the history of war on the continent of Ares.
Therefore, after seeing that the Zifeng Fortress garrisoned by the Four Holy Sects was actually so abnormally passive and defensive, the first reaction of the commander-in-chief of the Royal Court army and other core generals such as Mu Zefeng was that most of the other party had some tricks.
The dragons and the white elves were still clearing the wild pine forest at the foot of the mountain and the wild pine forest where they had slipped through the net, and there was no way to come over to join the battle immediately, so the commander-in-chief, the national division and the generals decided to send an elite division to try the situation first.
This task is naturally not pleasant, after all, there is such a strange situation on the side of Zifeng Fortress now, no one knows what the hell the Four Holy Sects are doing, once there is really any dangerous trick trap, then it is not impossible for the soldiers to lose or even the generals themselves to be injured and killed. However, although the risk is extremely high, on the other hand, it is also a great opportunity to build prestige among the Supreme Commander and all the generals and subordinates.
In the end, an older division commander stood up to take over this task, and this division commander is quite senior in the army, but because of his always overly cautious style, the troops he led have never made major mistakes or made any very conspicuous and conspicuous contributions, and his position in the army has always been tepid. This expedition to the southeast, he and his division's performance along the way was particularly lackluster, no matter how much he thought that after going back, he might be the one who gained the least and the worst when he went out to the southeast.
With this in mind, the always cautious teacher and regiment commander finally made a gamble, and after receiving the order from the commander-in-chief, the teacher and regiment took his division and began to tentatively approach the Zifeng Fortress.
Of course, despite taking the task riskily, this does not mean that the teacher's command will also mutate into a bold style. Under his command, the division was as cautious and cautious as ever, approaching the Zifeng fortress almost step by step.
But the Four Holy Sect troops in Zifeng Fortress seemed to have really given up resistance, seeing that this division was approaching the city wall alone, the Four Holy Sect troops above finally began to move, so that the head of the teacher and the commander-in-chief who was watching the battle behind them almost thought that the other party's strategy began to be implemented and was about to order a retreat immediately, but soon everyone found out that the actions of the soldiers of the Four Holy Sect troops on the city wall were not so much "scheduling" as "rioting" More suitable, there is no discipline, crying dad and shouting mother, than rushing to line up at the edge of the city wall to meet the enemy and throw arrows and stones, the army of the Four Holy Sects seems to be more enthusiastic about wanting to withdraw from the city wall than everyone who is farther away from the front edge of the city wall and safer.
Rao is the teacher is such a cautious person, and he can also see that no matter what attention the Four Holy Sect troops are fighting, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to quickly use the siege equipment to climb the city wall, holding the excitement that he may have really made the right bet this time, the teacher and the head of the regiment ordered to immediately use the simple ladder carried by the army to put it on the wall, and then let the elite soldiers in the division who are responsible for capturing the city head start to climb the fortress wall as quickly as possible.
And then ...... The first time the defenders of the Four Holy Sects saw that the city wall was captured, their first reaction was not to take it back, but to continue to retreat and shout surrender, everything went well......
...... Belch?
Wait, what about the ambush soldiers? What about psychological warfare? What about the empty city plan and the anti-empty city plan? The soldiers of the Four Holy Sect guarding the city, why are you so skillful when you face the first dead soldiers who are strong but only a few hundred in number?
The commander-in-chief and the commanders of the various divisions who saw this scene from a distance in the rear suddenly had all kinds of swear words in their hearts, feeling that they had not overestimated the Four Holy Sects, but had completely miscalculated them, okay? Looking at the scene where the Four Holy Sect troops were half retreating and half surrendering because the fortress wall was mounted by the Wang Ting Army, the other side's previous passive defense was not a trick at all, but all the defenders were thinking about how to surrender safely and properly?!
Of course, Wang Tingjun's side didn't know that due to the fact that even his hometown was besieged in the end, as well as the rumors that more and more Dharma Protector Beasts in the Four Holy Sects in the southeast region were forbidden fallen monsters on the mainland, the morale of the Four Holy Sect troops was already low to a precarious point, and yesterday's appearance of the dragons was more like a detonator that was strong enough in itself, completely blowing up all the morale of the Four Holy Sect army.
In addition, last night, those elders went to the sect leader Hei Peng to discuss a strategy to break the situation, and after they came back, they lost their souls one by one without saying a word, and soon even the sect leader Hei Peng himself was with his daughter (not many people in the sect knew that Hei Peng had already arranged for his daughter to leave early), and at this last and most critical moment, the rumor that he had abandoned the religion and fled spread throughout the entire Wulin Mountain.
The army, which had reached the final battle in despair, was told the night before the decisive battle that their supreme leader had led the way and fled with his family thieves...... With such facts, it is not difficult to understand why the Four Holy Sect troops in the Zifeng Fortress are behaving so badly today, even the sect leader has run away, what are they still messing with? If you are defeated early, and then those who should run and can't run, they should surrender quickly, at least leave a small life.
Almost everyone in the Four Saints Sect Army made up their minds in this way, so they didn't have any intention to resist after the arrival of the Wang Tingjun, and only waited for the Wang Tingjun to send some troops to attack the city, and then they came to a symbolic rout and surrender. However, the royal court's side didn't know the inside story, so after the Four Holy Sect army began to rout and surrender so cleanly under the tentative attack of just one division, it was the attacker's side that couldn't understand this sudden situation, and was completely stunned.
The commander-in-chief was stunned by the strong contrast between the performance of the Four Holy Sect troops today and yesterday, and the division commanders were depressed that they had just missed such a ready-made opportunity for meritorious service, and the happiest thing was the teacher and regiment commander who had just gambled once and took over the task, and he naturally saw at close range under the city that the Four Holy Sect army was really unwilling to fight, and it was already in a state of rout just by looking at it, putting aside all the caution, the old regiment commander rarely talked about the old man and made a juvenile madness, and yelled at the whole army (before the division behind had time to come up to grab the credit) to immediately go to the city and seize the gate and capture the entire fortress。
So in this way, after the dragons and the white elf clan had completely cleaned up the fallen monsters in the wild pine forest and went up the mountain, they saw that Wang Tingjun had already safely attacked this Zifeng fortress that looked quite steep in appearance, and was reorganizing and surrendering the army in an orderly manner.
...... Obviously, I was beaten by the Dharma Protector Beasts yesterday...... Humans are the best race at learning and progressing......
