Chapter 499: The City Tower is in Distress

In the middle of the night of July 23, 443 Ayr, with Chris's attack order, the first to appear were ten scouts, who were lying on the backs of ten thunder eagles and swooping down from the sky, after a high-pitched eagle roar, at a height of about fifty meters from the ground of the city gate, ten thunder eagles released their magic - thunder chains, bombarding the hoplites inside the city gate, and then turned sideways, raised the height again, turned to the center of the pass, ready to support Iron Mask and others at any time.

The appearance of the Thunder Eagle not only caught the defenders of the Eternal Empire by surprise, but their Thunderchain magic also killed at least thirty hoplites and five or six heavy ballistas, and also announced the beginning of the battle for the Divine Dragon Pass, which was the perfect prelude for the Coastal Province side.

The roar of the Thunder Eagle was the signal for the beginning of the action, and under the incredulous gaze of the soldiers of the Eternal Empire, a large number of tall, heavily armored soldiers with a red halo around their waists poured out of the two warehouses in the north and south of the pass.

The soldiers of the Eternal Empire did not recognize their banners, and at first thought that they were their secret troops, but when these burly soldiers raised their swords in their hands and slashed down countless defenders who stood in front of them, the soldiers of the Eternal Empire realized that these strong and unspoken fellows were enemies, but it was too late by this time, and the enemy had already rushed to the laxly guarded walls.

At the city wall in the south of the pass, Han Dan roared with the shield in his left hand and the big sword in his right hand with the first brigade of the assault wing, and rushed to kill and open the way. The 2nd Brigade followed, throwing their crossbows diagonally upwards to provide long-range support to the 1st Brigade. The third, fourth, and fifth battalions in the back were holding heavy shields, establishing defensive lines at the walls they occupied, and using crossbows to suppress and shoot at the soldiers of the Eternal Empire who rushed to support them, everything seemed to be so orderly and tacitly coordinated.

Wang Yong took ten heavy shields to protect Amy, Shirley and other female magicians were sandwiched between the first and second teams, and the azure magic shields looked so dazzling in the dim night.

Amy's heart was beating so hard at this time that it was almost out of her chest. Amy clenched the blood-drinking sword in her hand, and while charging with the soldiers in front of her, she kept reaching out and looking forward, looking for her target.

Shirley's face was flushed with nervousness, and she gasped and said to Wang Yong: "There are so many soldiers in the way, you can't see the front at all, how can we support?"

Wang Yong had never experienced this kind of real battle between the two armies, and he had no experience at all, and he thought very well at the beginning, with a large group of hoplites in front of him. Magicians can safely use magic support in the rear, but Wang Yong forgot about the problem of visual angle, resulting in a group of magicians who can only follow the soldiers to run forward, and they can't see the battle situation in front of them at all, let alone use magic support.

In front of so many people, of course Wang Yong would not admit that he had made a mistake, his eyes rolled, and he pointed to the soldiers of the Eternal Empire who were constantly rushing towards the city wall and said, "There is no need for support in front now, you use the fastest magic to bombard the officers among those soldiers." Try to delay them in organizing an effective counteroffensive. ”

Shirley, Daisy, and the other women had never killed anyone before, so they were puzzled by Wang Yong's idea or order, until they watched as an officer ordered his men to push a heavy ballista over and shoot down several minotaur soldiers not far in front of them. Shirley and the others pass by the corpses of the minotaur soldiers whose bodies had been pierced by thick crossbow arrows. The boots were stomped on the blood that flowed from the armor, and Shirley and the others blamed themselves, if they hadn't relented and didn't release their magic to kill the officer. The valiant Minotaur soldier might not have died.

Wang Yong had just killed a few junior officers with his summoning, and then turned his head to comfort Shirley and the other women, and said: "It's like this for the first time, you don't have to blame yourself, this time the lesson will be remembered." You must not be soft on the enemy, or you may be the one who dies. ”

Amy, Shirley, and the others ran forward, looking back at the corpses of the soldiers they had just died, but they could no longer see them, as he was already drowned in the stream that followed.

In order to prevent the ballista from continuing to shoot their own soldiers, Shirley and the others stopped, and began to chant incantations behind the ten heavy shieldmen, bombarding the enemy forces around the ballista with their most powerful magic.

As an intermediate warrior, Lina was in a hurry but couldn't help, so she could only hold her shield to resist the sparse crossbow arrows that shot here, while the little fox Anne couldn't help now, so she could only follow Wang Yong's side and watch with envy as others released gorgeous and dazzling magic.

When the beautiful chanting disappeared, for a moment, single and group magics such as water balloon bursts, holy light blades, fire rain spells, and wind blade dances shot down from the city wall in dazzling and deadly arcs, and landed on the ballista one after another, along with the nearby soldiers, all of them were cut into pieces by various magics.

When the soldiers behind him saw that Shirley and other magicians had finally exerted their might, they immediately cheered, and they became more and more brave in their killings.

Whenever a soldier passed by, he would nod to himself, although the mask covered their faces and could not see their expressions clearly, but Shirley and the others could feel the respect and gratitude of the soldiers.

I don't know if it's nervous or excited, Amy's face is flushed, and she waved her hand forward like Wang Yong and said, "Let's go, go to the front to support everyone." As he spoke, he continued to throw holy light bullets into the soldiers of the Eternal Empire as he continued to move forward.

Shirley and the others were impressed by Amy's determination and heroism, and after responding, they unleashed the simplest magic while rushing forward under the cover of the heavy shieldman. Wang Yong never spoke, just silently followed behind Amy, looking at her figure that was no longer weak, Wang Yong was very pleased.

The assault wing attacked the 300-meter city wall from both sides, and all parties only needed to rush to kill 150 meters and kill all the enemy troops on the city wall, and their task would be basically completed.

The distance of one hundred and fifty meters sounds very close, but after the enemy reacted and resisted stubbornly under the command of the officer, the charging speed of the assault wings of the south and north dropped sharply, and at a distance of more than ten meters from the central tower, because the enemy's movement space had been squeezed to the limit, the enemy forces had all been huddled together, and the assault wing finally had to stop and start hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing that the entire city wall was about to fall, the soldiers in front of him stopped, and Wang Yong jumped onto the back of a minotaur soldier and looked forward with his arms on his shoulders to see what was happening in front of him.

After seeing the battle situation in front of him, Wang Yong jumped back to the ground and shouted to the soldiers in front: "Get out of the way, let us pass." ”

Wang Yong's orders were in vain, his shouts were muffled by the shouts of killing on the battlefield, and the soldiers in front could not hear them at all.

Seeing more and more enemy troops coming in the distance, Wang Yong was anxious, and his luck really roared: "Get out of the way." At this time, the soldiers within ten meters in front of Wang Yong heard clearly, turned around, and when they saw that the person who shouted was the lord, they dodged left and right, making way for Wang Yong and the others.

In this way, Wang Yong yelled all the way and brought Amy and other magicians to the forefront of the battle.

As far as the eye could see, I saw Han Dan and several of the strongest minotaur warriors sealing the already small city wall in a horizontal column, wielding sharp swords and slashing continuously, but they could only slash sparks on the enemy's heavy shield. And the enemy's spears and swords slashed on their officer-level thickened plate armor, and they could not break the defense, at most, they stabbed them to a skew, and for a time neither side could help the other, and fell into a stalemate.

This stalemate was extremely disadvantageous for the coastal side, because as long as the enemy's reinforcements organized an effective counterattack, it would be difficult for the limited soldiers on the coastal side to resist for a long time.

Wang Yong took Amy Shirley and the others to the front line, stopped more than 20 meters away from the place where the two sides met, and then turned out several large wooden boxes from the Naxu Ring, and let Shirley and the others stand on it, so that they could release magic condescendingly to support.

Wang Yong was not idle, standing on the big wooden box with Amy and the others and began to chant magic spells, and the minotaur soldiers around him surrounded Wang Yong and the others very tacitly, raising their shields to protect them in the middle.

The defenders at the city tower were in a commotion when they saw Wang Yong and the others wearing magic shields, but because there was no room to move, they could only huddle in place and wait for the brilliant and deadly magic to come.

When the officer on the tower saw Wang Yong and the others start chanting incantations, a grim smile appeared on the officer's face, and he waved his hand behind him and said, "Push the ballista over and shoot it hard at those magicians." ”

As soon as the officer's words fell, three ballista cars appeared at the three windows in the south of the tower, and the metal arrows that flashed with cold light pointed directly at Wang Yong, Amy, Shirley, Daisy, Phoebe and other magicians who were chanting.

As the three bowstrings hummed, three arm-thick crossbow arrows with a cold light shot at Wang Yong, Amy, and Daisy at a speed that was indiscernible to the naked eye.

Wang Yong was chanting a spell, but when he saw the fool who was slashing happily in front of him, he didn't know why he suddenly turned around and ran towards him, and he seemed to be shouting something, but because the shouting was too noisy, Wang Yong didn't hear it clearly.

Just when Wang Yong was inexplicable, he suddenly felt the danger, raised his eyes slightly, and just saw that the three ballista cars were already aimed in his direction. Between the choice of life and death, Wang Yong stopped chanting very decisively, forcibly endured the backlash caused by the forced interruption of magic, and at the moment when the ballista was launched, he controlled the flying sword to slash at the crossbow arrow that shot straight at Amy.
