Chapter 326 The Magicians
At dawn, the infantry unit arrived at Boulder City.
The Earl was guarded into the city by two mid-ranking soldiers, his face full of grief and indignation.
In the bunker tower of the city wall, he saw his five wives and a group of children, the eldest son has long been an adult, is an intermediate swordsman, has been working as an adventurer in the past few years, this atmosphere does not know when it began to spread in the kingdom, anyway, he ran back with a disability for some reason, and he didn't bother to say anything more after giving birth to two grandchildren after marriage.
The fact that his wives were fully dressed made the Count feel a great way about someone, but he almost fainted again at the sight of the empty chests piled up in the corners.
"Conscript troops to defend the city, and let you go when the war is over." Jiang Yuan leaned on the stake and said that the greatest wealth of the aristocracy lies in the position within the rule system and the ownership of land and population, as long as there are these two, no matter how dilapidated there is, there is hope of rising.
"Your Highness, are you a little too cruel?" The Rock Count struggled to look away from the chest.
"While I don't care about that kind of behavior, you don't seem to be in a position to criticize me for plundering the Colta Territory." Jiang Yuan said flatly, "If you don't obey, you will die, you know that I have done it, at least five thousand strong men, all the weapons in the city will be requisitioned, the grain will be handed over for unified distribution, and the gold, silver and copper coins will be ...... Scavenge again so that you don't fall behind, and your thirty-man magician corps, convince them. ”
The Earl of the Stone closed his eyes and nodded fiercely, and directly entered the mode of breaking the jar and falling, if he was really tough enough to not be afraid of death, the cavalry should have gone to Huangquan with the soldiers on the night of the cavalry attack camp.
Jiang Yuan left the blockhouse tower, if the city wall was breached, these family members estimated that the first to die under the soldiers, so whether the earl contributed or not depended on himself.
3,000 regular troops were stationed, 2,000 of the previous garrison troops were incorporated, and the entire city began to be controlled, with the help of the master of the megalith city, things went very smoothly, the auxiliary soldiers who were not strong in combat gathered 2,000 people, and the people who were responsible for carrying the equipment were 6,000 people, and the residents were not allowed to leave the rooms after dark in the city.
A day later, in the evening, Tuze's army pressed the border.
When the sky was about to dark, countless torches lit up from left to right, like waves of flames, and the main force of 15,000, plus 10,000 soldiers drawn from the other two theaters, nearly 30,000 people gathered outside.
If Benshi's Eastern Army is willing to contain it, this war will be very easy to fight, based on the cooperation of both sides, and when someone captures one of the enemy's three main cities, Tuze's army should have only two options: retreat and defeat.
But both Mizelle and Tipeon had their own agendas, allowing opportunities to slip away from them, and to date, they had made little effective moves other than a second test battle with Tuze and another narrow defeat.
They are waiting for the Tuze army to spend their strength and morale under the Boulder City, which is simply a fisherman's profit.
Tuze rode away from the battle formation, followed by only an armored guard, and the two came to a short distance outside the city walls.
"Your Highness Charliye, you might as well join Acewood in this game." "All the cavalry under my command shall be under your command, and if it is limited by honor, then the seven hundred war horses owed shall be returned first, and the territory occupied in the duel shall not be returned, and I shall share the harvest equally with the noble blood of King Asra." ”
On that day, only a few leaders and high-ranking officers knew about it was told by Tuze, and he made no secret of his well-informed position on the side of the Eastern Army, and the two victories in the frontal battles gave very tempting terms.
In this regard, Jiang Yuan casually shot an ordinary arrow, and the ultimate purpose of his defense of the city was to plunge the entire Norfos Plain into war, and then bite a large bite of meat on the grounds of counterinsurgency, which was only a limited joke between the marquis family, and it was not worth the great fight of the Tumiit army so far.
The armor-covered man didn't make a move, and Tuze trusted his judgment, so he swung his sword to resist, but when the blade slashed the arrow, the inside of the arrow body was cracked and spread due to the special force exerted when it was fired, and the sawdust fell like raindrops, and several small colored blood cuts across his face.
Tuze tilted his head, a rare look of anger between his eyebrows.
"I'm sorry." The armor-covered man said hoarsely, "I don't understand. ”
In other words, he didn't know how the other party did it.
"Very strong?" Tuze frowned as he turned his horse's head away.
The armor-covered man shook his head, "It's not strong, but it's dangerous, but that arrow is really mediocre, so I'm going to say it's incomprehensible, it's certain that Shaliye hasn't reached the Juggernaut realm yet." ”
"Siege the city, facing the army, the sword king will also die."
The armor-covered person was noncommittal, ignoring the other party's threats and accusations.
At the beginning of the siege, the hoplites advanced with broad shields, the recruited auxiliaries pushed huge siege equipment close to the city walls, and the vanguard troops of the city followed, but the real key was the group of 150 magicians, escorted by knights, the magicians closed the distance, waited until they entered the casting range, and at the same time chanted earth magic.
The probability of a high-level magician is 1 in 40,000, and this special force is led by five high-level magicians, and after five seconds, countless earthen platforms rise from the bottom of the wall in turn, forming five staircase steps to ascend the city.
At the same time, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, the reserves of the entire Boulder City were consumed without reservation, the oil refining poured down the steps, the flames ignited, the first troops suffered a large number of casualties, the magician regiment chanted water magic, and one hundred and fifty water bombs flew away in the air.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan consumed three percent of his magic power, and with the blessing of multiple spells, a hundred intermediate magic fireballs burst out, water and fire collided at high altitude, water vapor evaporated, and a thick fog descended.
On the city wall, under the command of the division commander, the magicians of their own side chanted fire magic together to speed up the burning speed of the oil on the steps.
In wars above the earl's level, the existence of the magician group is extremely important, because chanting takes a long time, and magicians are quite limited in heads-up and small group battles, but in large-scale wars, some people help them buy time for chanting, even if it is an ordinary fireball, with the blessing of enough base, it is enough to exert considerable power.
Rolling logs, gold water, rockets, and all kinds of defensive equipment were rapidly consumed, and the vanguard siege troops also suffered serious casualties.
In the second round, the magician group under Tuze's command chose to chant the Great Fireball Technique, and one hundred and fifty fireballs containing high temperature and blazing heat fell into the city, and nearly 100 troops and auxiliaries died in this attack.
Through the dense fog channel opened by the fireball, Jiang Yuan aimed at a high-level magician, three piercing arrows off the string, under the push of the wind whisperer, accurately killed it, in a war involving established magicians, consuming mana with human lives is a conventional tactical response, and the only ones who can pose a threat to them are enemies who are also magicians, as well as elite archers.
