Chapter 712: Emergency Evacuation
In the office of the fortress, Vegeta's face was cloudy at this time.
Now, there are two paths before him.
One is waiting.
Since the other party is not in a hurry to attack, then he does not need to be in a hurry, first stabilize the morale of the soldiers in the fortress, wait for the opportunity, and then wait for reinforcements while playing a defensive counterattack.
For now, this road is the safest, and the only risk may be that the soldiers may not be able to withstand the pressure of the siege, resulting in a decline in morale.
The second is to take the initiative.
Taking advantage of the poor state of the foreign coalition army, he forcibly attacked, and beat him for a round first.
If he can take this opportunity to severely damage the army of the opposite one, or even the two armies, then he will definitely make a lot of money, and the battle will be much easier with it.
However, there is also a risk here, once he takes the initiative, it means that he has to give up the fortress advantage as a defender.
At the same time, it would not be good if the other party also saw this and set up an ambush for him.
At that time, as soon as his army was killed, he was directly besieged by several foreign coalition armies, and there was really no return.
The current situation has forced Vegeta to think a lot.
There is no way, one wrong step now is a catastrophe, and when the time comes, it will not only be him who will die, but also the entire army of dark elves under his command, as well as the Europa soldiers who act with them.
After the foreign coalition army launched the encirclement strategy, three days passed quietly.
During these three days, the combined armies of various foreign countries scattered in various directions maintained communication contacts through their radar vehicles and radio communication equipment.
"I haven't taken the bait yet, could it be that the harpy in the sky has seen something?"
"No, we haven't moved much these days, what can the Harpy see?"
"That's the other side guessed."
"Trouble, it's easier to kill it honestly."
Obviously, just as Vegeta had thought of this, so had the various officers of the Alien Coalition Army, who, although they didn't move at all on the surface, were actually secretly tense.
As soon as the dark elf army is killed, the combined armies of various foreign countries will get the news and kill the battlefield as soon as possible through radio communication equipment to support.
But obviously, no one is stupid and will not stupidly rush into each other's traps.
Some people always like to think about some strategies and strategies too powerful, but in fact, the battle between smart people and smart people is often the most boring, because in the end, they basically can't calculate anyone, and there is no way to do it, or they have to fight hard power.
If they didn't know that a Europa reinforcement was rushing towards them, then the officers of the combined armies would definitely continue to choose to besiege the city.
Besiege but not attack, first besiege him for ten days and half a month, and then put pressure on the defenders in the fortress.
Either after forcing the other side to hold on, take the initiative to kill, or directly toss the other side until morale is low before making a move.
But now, it seems that there is not so much time for them to implement such time-consuming tactics.
On the fourth day of the siege, as the horn of the attack sounded, the combined armies of various foreign nations launched an offensive towards the fortress surrounded by them almost at the same time!
In the midst of the earth-shattering roar of artillery fire, the artillery units frantically poured firepower, trying to force through the defense line of the fortress.
In the face of this increasingly destructive ordnance weapon, the significance of the existence of the fortress defense line has become lower and lower.
Fortunately, the former owner of the fortress, the foreign player on the same continent as Jacopo Alfonso, was ready to defend the line from the start.
Therefore, all the trench defenses were specially strengthened by him, and if it were not for the four Europa armies to attack him, he would not have destroyed himself.
This is a particularly reinforced must
Cypriot, after being captured by the Europa army, has been repaired again, so the defense is still quite good.
The defensive artillery deployed inside the fortress also launched a counterattack, and the harpy helped them confirm the coordinate location, which greatly improved the attack accuracy of the Europa artillery unit, and as soon as the shop counterattacked, it faintly occupied a few advantages.
However, Vegeta knew that this was only temporary, and that it was better for her not to be happy too soon.
On the side of the foreign united army, both in terms of the number of troops and the firepower of the artillery units, they far surpassed them.
And this advantage will gradually be revealed with the passage of time in battle.
Sure enough, after several adjustments to the position of the shelling, the foreign artillery units of all parties responsible for besieging the fortress directly became more and more fierce.
But Vegeta, who didn't plan to sit still, could only send the Harpy troops to attack the artillery unit on the opposite side.
After Eric Menton upgraded and unlocked a large number of enhancements related to the Harpy, the Harpy's abilities have actually been significantly improved.
The harpy on this side is certainly no exception.
And this improvement, in addition to the Harpy's individual combat ability, is also mainly improved in the Harpy's special ability, which is "Scream".
The Harpy's screams will negatively affect enemies within its radius, and they will be inflicted with a weakening buff.
This special ability, after receiving the blessing of the enhancement project, has become more widespread, and the weakening range has also been increased.
However, no matter how strong they were, it was impossible for the Harpy Banshees to drop the attribute panel of the exotic artillery unit below with a single voice from hundreds of meters away.
In this way, it is necessary to reduce the flight altitude so that the foreign soldiers below are within the range of their skills.
But in contrast, in this way, their risk also increases.
As old rivals who have fought so many battles, the officers of the foreign coalition army have long been prepared in the face of this very annoying harpy.
Around the artillery unit, a sufficient number of infantry units have already been arranged to escort them, and once the Harpy lowers its flight altitude, the rifles in the hands of those foreign soldiers can bring them a deadly threat!
"General, it is clear that the other side wants to use artillery fire to break down our defensive line, and then push it up, and if it continues like this, the defense line of this fortress will soon be unable to hold out!"
The colonel, who was in charge of directing the Europa artillery unit, had a solemn face at this time.
And Vegeta, who heard this, was no different.
How could he not see the purpose of the other side, but the problem was, he had no choice at all.
Now, they are the weak side, and at the same time, the dominant power is also in the hands of the foreign coalition army, they have no choice at all, and if they make a move from the other side, then they can only take it.
If you can't catch it, then there is only a dead end!
In this regard, he can only grit his teeth.
In the face of the siege of the foreign coalition army, the dark elf army and the Europa army who chose to defend the fortress were five days in one fight.
These five days are like hell for the defenders, if it weren't for Eric Moonton brushing up his generals with a gold-level skill to support him, the morale of the army would not fall below sixty points.
Otherwise, the battle situation on this side would have collapsed long ago.
But even so, in the midst of a mess of trench fortresses, the atmosphere is now extremely oppressive.
The outer trenches had been reduced to ruins under the shelling fire of the foreign coalition army, and anyone could see how bad the situation was on their side.
It was another day of attack, and for several days in a row, the foreign combined army, which had been fired and exported by the long-range firepower of artillery units, finally made a new move on this day.
As the charge sounded, a large number of soldiers with rifles officially advanced towards the fortress that they had surrounded and killed.
It seems that those few are different
The United Army is already planning to give them the final blow!
In the face of the foreign soldiers who were rapidly advancing under the cover of artillery bombardment, Vegeta's Europa infantry and dark elf crossbowmen deployed on the periphery of the fortress in advance attacked one after another, trying to suppress these foreign soldiers with long-range fire.
Although the outer trenches have been reduced to ruins, the soldiers of the defending side can still find some cover in the ruins, which is somewhat of an advantage.
The process of charging was enough to make the foreign coalition army pay a lot of casualties.
Then, after the distance was close to a certain point, the Europa soldiers greeted them directly with grenades.
At the same time, the dark elf mages in the rear also cast first-order weakening spells after receiving Vegeta's order.
The first-order weakening spell, combined with the grenades of the Europa soldiers, simply worked wonders.
The haunting negative buff not only lowers the physical fitness of foreign soldiers, but also increases the chance of them making wrong judgments.
This grenade attack also greatly increased the number of casualties on the opposite side.
Subsequently, the troops of both sides officially rushed together!!
As soon as the battle entered the melee battle, Vegeta's army of dark elves had the upper hand, but there was a big problem on his side, and that was the strength of the troops.
Now the foreign united army is attacking from all directions at the same time, and Vegeta's dark elf army has been fighting all the way to now, and its strength is very limited.
It is easy to fight in one place, but for the defenders, if only one of the four fortresses collapses, the entire fortress will also fall.
In desperation, Vegeta could only make arrangements head-on.
The Dark Elves are on three sides, two of which are given to the Black Knights, Dark Knights, and Spearmen of the front row, one to Hydra and a small group of Europa troops, and the last one to all Europa troops.
This is no way, on the side of Europa, relying on the cannon as a weapon of the human camp, although the long-range firepower is good, it is not enough after all.
Once they need to fight hard, it will be difficult for them to defend both sides.
Now, with a mentality of being able to work hard, I can only make such an arrangement.
With the support of the Dark Elf mage troops, the battlefield on three sides defended by the Dark Elf army can be stabilized for the time being.
On the Hydra side, although the number of troops is the least, it is hard to say that the Hydra, a strategic-level unit, can be used as a force in itself, because in the current foreign coalition army, they do not have any particularly effective targeted means when facing Hydra.
Armor-piercing bullets can only be said to be useful, but they cannot be said to be very effective.
There is no need for a dark elf mage to cast spells and support, and Hydra alone can directly kill those foreign soldiers who rush up.
Occasionally, there are some fish that slip through the net, and there are also Europa soldiers in the rear to solve them, and in a short time, it is quite safe.
On the contrary, the other two sides garrisoned by the army of dark elves fought quite hard due to the dispersion of troops.
Even if you have a dark elf mage and a harpy, you can put a double negative buff on the enemy army that rushes up, but you can't stand the foreign combined army, and there are too many of them.
At first, the Black Knight was able to hold on with the project ability of "Dark Touch", but with the launch of a round of "Abomination Slash", while harvesting a wave of opposing troops, it also caused the combat power of the dark elves to gradually decline.
On the contrary, on the side of the foreign coalition army, a large number of troops are still pouring forward, and there is quite a posture of winning with manpower.
This is true of both sides supported by the army of dark elves, let alone the last.
Both sides are typical human forces, but Vegeta's side is the remnants of the Europa camp, while the opposite side is the main army, and the difference between this is not much to say.
Irrespective of
Whether it is fighting long-range firepower or fighting bayonets after closing in, the Europa troops who are at a disadvantage are all at a disadvantage, and after a few rounds of bloody battles with the opposite side, now, vaguely, they are about to be crushed.
Now that the Europa troops are stationed on this side, the whole battle situation can be said to be precarious, but what makes people helpless is that Vegeta at this time can't even draw reinforcements from one person.
The other three sides are too busy to take care of themselves, and where is there any spare strength to support this side.
As the battle dragged on, the spells of the Dark Elf mage troops were quickly depleted, and after losing this strong support, the situation of the garrison suddenly became even more critical, and even the entire front began to retreat.
Only the side of Hydra is responsible for stationing, and it can stop the offensive of the foreign coalition army.
Vegeta, however, couldn't be happier.
Because he could see at a glance that the foreign coalition army on the side of Hydra did not attack with all its strength at all.
Of course, this is not to say that Hydra is weak, but because the officer of the foreign coalition army in charge of this side knows very well in his heart that if he attacks the side where Hydra is stationed, his army will definitely pay a heavy price.
Therefore, he changed his purpose a little.
The other three foreign coalition armies are all aiming to breach the fortress and destroy the Dark Elf army and Europa forces.
Only him, his purpose is to drag the Hydra!
In order to minimize the casualties on his side, he will not attack with all his might, but at the same time, he will not let Hydra have the strength to support the other three sides, that is, he will hold it firmly until the other three sides are crushed by their foreign combined army.
This practice is not disgusting.
Against such an opponent, unless there is an overwhelming advantage in strength, otherwise, it will be uncomfortable for anyone to change.
Not to mention, Vegeta's army of dark elves at this time, not to mention an advantage, is completely the downwind of the downwind.
With all his efforts failing to reverse the situation, and seeing that the entire battle was about to collapse, a harpy flew back from the sky at the fastest speed.
