Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Siege Begins!

Walk briskly up to the city walls.

After releasing the ballista first, Zhao Hao saw the army of dark elf vanguards.

Bang la!

The first to come into view is a flying unit.

The female body, with eagle wings and talons on her back, and a dagger in her hand, is constantly hovering in the sky

Hippogriff!

A fourth-tier class in the Dungeon Faction.

The melee strength of this class is actually not much stronger than that of the Centaur, but with its ability to fly and an ability, it is enough to be called a fourth-order.

Phantom Strike!

The opponent can launch a pounce at high speed, which will be too fast to counterattack.

Well, this race has only females, and the way they reproduce is extremely appealing to LSPs, by raiding male creatures (humans, subhumans) of other races back to their nests... Kill if successful.

If it weren't for the low appearance, maybe the male players would have to take the initiative to 'dedicate themselves'.

Anyway, if you die once, you can be resurrected.

The number of units is at least 1,000 units per regiment.

On the ground below the harpy witches are ground troops emerging from the woods.

The first thing that catches your eye is a four-meter-tall, bull-headed man armed with a huge battle axe.

Minotaur!

Rank 9 Transcendent Class.

His simple mind makes him extremely brave in battle, and as long as he has an order, he will fight to the death even to the last man, and he can be called a perfect warrior.

Quantity half brigade 150 units.

Ground classes will line up in formation when marching, so as long as the number is not too exaggerated, experienced heroes can be counted at a glance.

Behind the Minotaur are two ranged units in quick succession.

He has a snake tail and snake hair, and is armed with a short bow and a quiver.

Queen Medusa, an eighth-order elite class!

It is also a ranged type, with a similar ability to the Swamp Fortress faction Lizard.

Petrifaction!

As long as you are shot, there is a chance that you will be petrified.

It's just that the probability is far inferior to that of a lizard, although the health and defense are not high, but the melee is very strong, and if you dare to be a soft persimmon, there is absolutely no good fruit to eat.

Quantity: 300 units.

And the other ranged unit next to Queen Medusa has an uncomfortable appearance.

It seems to be a monster supported by a meter-diameter eyeball and a large number of tentacles.

Poison Eye!

Tier 6 ranged troops.

The backbone and elite units of the dungeon camp are all ranged types.

Quantity: 500 units.

Behind the two ranged classes are 60 units that are comparable in size to giant elephants, with the body of a lion, a bat wing, and a scorpion tail.

Manticore!

The eleventh-order ace class, which can carry, fight and fly, is very comprehensive (low EQ: it is not strong in that aspect).

Behind these troops were hundreds of dark elf warriors and cold-blooded cavalry, surrounded by several female dark elves wearing robes and carrying long whips.

Finally, there were a large number of creature with a hunched body, a head as headless as a fish's head, and a short spear in hand.

Cavemen!

The race at the bottom of the food chain in the underworld.

With a simple wisdom and a cowardly character, it can be used to plant, mine, explore... And so on, and sometimes they have to be cannon fodder on the battlefield.

That is, the ability to reproduce is not weak, otherwise it would have been extinct long ago.

Because the cave people are not a class of troops, there is naturally no formation to speak of when they advance, and there is no way to count the number, but looking at this black pressure one, you can know that there are at least a few thousand or more.

Cannon fodder!

If there are not many of them, there is no way to take on this task.

The cold-blooded cavalry and dark elves scattered away from the group and circled around the Storm Keep.

Obviously, these dark elves are tasked with sealing off the battlefield and preventing Sisbi's bucket from escaping.

For the Dark Elves, the war can be lost, and Sith must die.

"Don't bring siege machinery?"

And Zhao Hao was a little puzzled after looking at it.

In other words, if the other party wants to break the city, he can only slash and blast the city gate?

Well, this is the least efficient way to siege a city.

Because the city gate is weakly defended, it is a special wood that is actually tens of centimeters thick compared to the strong city wall, and the hardness is comparable to steel.

In the real world, it is completely impossible for humans to destroy.

But in the world of heroes, it is different, because races with more strength than humans abound, and steel can be torn by hand.

It's like a minotaur!

The other party can really cut steel, but it will take a lot of time.

on the city walls.

Phantom shooters were stationed inside the five arrow towers, ready to shoot.

The ballista is by Zhao Hao's side and is responsible for sniping powerful troops.

The Shadow Swordsmen are scattered across the city walls, specializing in dealing with emergencies and are also surprise troops.

The centaur leaders, battle dwarves, deadwood guards, and others were all on standby behind the gates, ready for battle.

In terms of strength, the Storm Fortress side, both in rank and number, is far inferior to the attacking Dark Elf vanguard force.

But Zhao Hao knew that he had won.

A fortress alone is enough to level the strength disadvantage, not to mention the hero advantage.

The gap between heroes is the deadliest.

Unless the opponent has a blue elite template hero with strategic talent, or if there is an epic hero, they will lose.

And if the other party really has it, it is impossible to maintain only a small army, and from this point of view, Sith really did not lie.

The ballista next to Zhao Hao was the first to fire.

Bang!

A spear-like metal crossbow arrow fires out, striking a minotaur like lightning.

Burst!

The bolts pierced the Minotaur's body, bringing it down with a terrifying force, pinning it to the ground.

-3456!

Amazing damage floats up.

That is, the minotaur itself is a transcendental melee class, and its own blood volume is not low, plus the blood volume bonus brought by its size, so that the health value is as high as 7500 points, otherwise this arrow will be seconds.

The digitization of the troops, in weakening the strength, also has an advantage, the health will not die before the health is zero, and if it is replaced by flesh and blood, such a heavy injury will not survive at all.

With the blessing of intermediate artillery and intermediate archery, the artillery flow has already taken on a shadow.

After the ballista opened fire, the opposing side also charged.

Kill!

A roar rang out from the mouth of a minotaur with rock-hard muscles and nothing but a metallic armor.

Then the transcendents gasped and rushed towards the city gate with red eyes, and the grass was trampled flat by their heavy bodies.

Bang!

Another bolt was fired, nailing a minotaur to the ground.

It's a pity that the attack speed of the ballista is too slow, and only two arrows of the Minotaur rushed more than a hundred meters away.

"Nice courage!" , Zhao Hao looked at the minotaur rushing in front of him, this is a race he admires very much, but unfortunately if he is an enemy of himself, he can only be ruthless.

Whizzing!

The Phantom Archers in the Tower fire their first round of ranged attacks.

All 60 arrows hit the Minotaur, and it was difficult to miss such a big target.

-124

-149

-154

……

Pieces of damage jump out.

Only one minotaur fell.

With high defense and high health, the minotaurs are completely humanoid tanks, so it is naturally impossible to be easily shot.

Fortunately, Zhao Hao didn't expect to use the Phantom Archer to solve the Minotaur, although it wasn't impossible, but it was too much of a waste of time and physical strength.

So after a rain of arrows, let the minotaur continue to charge, and target the two ranged troops behind.

The range advantage gives the phantom shooter the right to attack first.

The arrow was shot again.

-162

-199

-210

Rows of Medusa queens fall.

Compared to the Minotaur's 7500 HP, Queen Medusa with 300 HP is completely 'light and soft'.

A minimum of a few dozen units is lost in a round.

If you do a few more rounds, you may die before you can counterattack, so the two ranged classes retreat a little and stay out of range of the Phantom Archer.

If the opponent wants to shoot, he must survive several rounds of long-range attacks to have any hope.

After all, the Phantom Shooter's rate of fire is not comparable to that of a ballista.

A 60-unit Phantom Archer stops two ranged units that add up to more than 1,000 units.

Zhao Hao also didn't mean to let the phantom shooter turn his fire to attack the minotaur.

Because ammunition can be replenished by supply vehicles, but shooting also consumes stamina and energy, and there is no need to think about making the Phantom Shooter shoot as infinitely as a machine.

Bang la!

Manticores and harpy witches flapped their wings and flew far faster than the Minotaur.

Squeak!

The gates opened.

In order to save physical strength, long-range firepower ignores the enemy's melee troops, so its own melee troops take the initiative to fight.

The advantage is that the city gate can be protected, and the battle at the city gate cannot be used by the enemy.

The minotaurs who rushed to the gates of the city knew this best.
