Fifty-three, bloody battles (II)

Under the powerful long-range strike power of the Shura army, most of the 600,000 troops invested by the Dark Demon Army have suffered casualties, and it has only been more than an hour since the start of the battle, and 500,000 people have died, and there are no wounded, in this kind of battle, being injured means death, but with the lives of 500,000 people, the Dark Demon Army finally paved a slope that is one kilometer long and only fifty meters wide, leading to the head of the city, with this passage, the Dark Demon Army can put in cavalry to attack the city.

The remaining 100,000 dead did not retreat, the latest order they received was to charge, contain the Shura army, and wait for the cavalry to attack, these 100,000 people formed a team to charge towards the slope, and then, under the dense rain of arrows, one after another, the distance was close, and the power of suppressing the chariot was greatly enhanced, sometimes the long arrow not only shot through the shield, but also shot through all the people, and then shot the second person behind, in the face of thousands of chariots suppressed, how could these infantry rush through? What's more, there are two special troops at the head of the city, they are the elite of the million-strong army, and some of the infantry who rushed to the city also died at their hands, and they could not attack the city at all.

However, the Dark Demon Army did not think that only the remaining 100,000 infantry would be able to rush into the city, the role of these infantry was only to delay a little time, and in the rear, a million cavalry who had been waiting for a long time began to charge, with this passage, they would definitely be able to break the city today.

The first batch of 100,000 cavalry began to charge, and their formation was also very loose, but there was only one destination, that is, the slope, so the 100,000 people lined up in a long line to charge towards the slope, so that no matter how loose it was, it would not go there, on the contrary, it was much denser than the previous two cavalry charges, and seeing such a dense cavalry charge formation, Sotora had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't feel that something was wrong there.

Approaching, the black-clothed Shura ordered: "Target area, third district, open fire." "Three hundred magic cannons roared in unison and fired out, and the three hundred cannonballs cut through the seven-kilometer-long space in just three seconds, falling to the ground, bursting out with terrifying power and setting off a terrifying magic storm.

This time, the landing point of 300 shells was very concentrated, concentrated in a small area one kilometer long and only 300 meters wide, and it was only within 0.3 square kilometers, and 300 shells fell in such a small area, and the result was devastating for the cavalry in this area, and the more than 5,000 cavalry in this range were all evaporated by the world in an instant, and some cavalry on the edge of this area were also hit, and this round of shelling caused a total of 7,000 deaths, more than 3,000 injuries, and the entire cavalry formation was in chaos。

The cavalry could not stop at the beginning of the charge, although the 100,000 cavalry team was bitten off a large piece by the shells, but the remaining cavalry could only continue to rush forward, however, the next round of artillery fire also came quickly, and when they rushed to the range of five kilometers again, the second round of artillery fire had already reached the head, they once again lost more than 10,000 people, more than 6,000 dead, more than 3,000 wounded, in this way, just two rounds of shelling caused more than 20,000 people to withdraw from the battle, the dead were certainly dead, but the more than 6,000 or 7,000 wounded were afraid that they could not survive。

The cavalry unit in the vanguard rushed to the edge of the slope, and four brigades of four thousand suppressed chariots lined up on the city wall, and began to shoot long arrows like raindrops at the cavalry, under the blow of such a dense rain of arrows, it was a fatal blow to any cavalry who wanted to rush up the slope, and some of the cavalry who rushed to the front turned into hedgehogs with their mounts, and the cavalry charge stopped for a while.

In addition to these suppressed chariots, there were also 10,000 archers who were also checking for leaks, and their long arrows were not lightly fired, but for every long arrow fired, a cavalryman fell from his horse, so this small slope was a smooth path to siege, but also a road to death.

The cavalry in front couldn't rush up, and the cavalry behind continued to rush over, so that the cavalry density under the slope was suddenly dense, and the magic cannon on the second city wall also fired, and a round of artillery fire down, all the cavalry were miserable, and the casualties caused by this third round of artillery fire were much greater than the previous two rounds, because the density of the cavalry was too large, so this round of artillery fire had a total of more than 30,000 cavalry, nearly 20,000 were directly killed, and more than 10,000 were injured.

Sotola finally realized where he had made a mistake in his calculations, and immediately ordered: "Order all the cavalry to retreat immediately, so that the siege will not work." "However, it was already too late, and the third group of 100,000 cavalry turned halfway and stopped, but the second group of 100,000 cavalry had already entered the fifteen-kilometer artillery attack area, and it was already impossible to retreat. Sotola sighed, what a defeat in today's battle.

The second group of cavalry turned halfway through, only received some blows, and the number of casualties was not much, only a few thousand, and the first batch of 100,000 cavalry could not come back, all fell on the city wall, and in the face of the suppression of concentrated fire on the city wall, they wanted to rush up the city wall from the slope It was a dream.

The battle is over, the Dark Demon Army lost more than 900,000 troops in today's battle, and the losses of the Shura Army are very small, when the Dark Demon Army retreats, the Shura Army begins to demolish that section of the slope, that is to say, the Dark Demon Army has killed more than 900,000 people in vain, and nothing has been gained.

At the military meeting, Sotola said with a pale face: "It's my fault, if I hadn't thought of this layer, we wouldn't have lost so much today." "Your Excellency, it's not your fault, your plan was also unanimously approved by us, but we didn't expect that the black-clothed Shura would be able to find a way to crack it in such a short period of time, and I believe that Your Excellency the Army Commander will definitely be able to find a way to attack the Black Ridge Fortress in the future." Some of the senior generals said comfortingly, but their comfort didn't mean anything to Solola.

It's no wonder that they lost this battle today, because the city wall is too high, so high that nothing can reach it, after the cavalry siege method of the previous day was broken, Sotola came up with this slope siege method, and used manpower to pave a slope straight to the city, so that the cavalry can charge directly, with the military strength of the Dark Demon Army, as long as it can rush to the city, the Shura Army is absolutely unstoppable, however, Soltola's plan is very successful, but the black-clothed Shura is a plan, concentrating all the firepower to block this slope, so that even if the Dark Demon Army uses more troops to charge, there is only a dead end, and the large number of troops gathered under the slope will only be the target of the magic cannon of the Shura army, so Sotora has to stop the cavalry charge, otherwise, there will be more deaths. In the face of such unprecedented ferocious artillery fire from the Shura army, some conventional siege methods were already ineffective.

"I still support the use of airborne tactics, which is the only one they can't think of," Hadilak said. This is the only tactic that can succeed. "Everyone is speechless, this tactic is too dangerous, one is not good, the people who enter the city will not be able to come back, however, there is no better way to do it now, these days the siege of the city has killed more than a million troops, the loss is as high as more than 10%, such a big loss has not hurt the root of the Shura army, this is really a nest, but there is no way?

On October 10th, the Dark Demon Army once again dispatched more than a million troops to array, this time it was not an ordinary army, but a magic cannon unit. Magic cannons are not only unique to the Shura army, but also to the Dark Demon Army, and there are 1,200 magic cannons they have, and today, they have invested 900 magic cannons, and there are twenty magicians guarding next to each magic cannon, accompanying them to advance together, and the magic cannon troops began to advance, followed by a large number of infantry to follow, and the cavalry was behind the most Lu.

When the magic cannon troops entered the range of thirteen kilometers, the magic cannons on the city wall began to fire, however, this time the hit rate of the magic cannons on the city wall was not high, because, the magic cannon troops of the Dark Demon Army were not divided into a group, but divided into three columns, each column had four hundred, the distance between the columns was one kilometer, and the distance between each magic cannon was two hundred meters, so that it was not so easy for the magic cannons on the city wall to attack the magic cannons under the city, after all, the distance was too far.

The magic cannon of the Dark Demon Army is not as cumbersome as the Shura Army, and the god-level magic cannon only weighs thirty tons, which only needs to be carried by ten soldiers. These ten soldiers can also be gunners, so a magic cannon only needs fifteen soldiers to be able to manipulate, and even if you add twenty magicians, it is only thirty-five, and the goal is not big. The magic cannon on the Western Continent is not a cannon on the earth, and the aiming equipment and level are also very limited, even the aiming of the most elite magic cannon artillery under the command of the black-clothed Shura can only be said to be unsatisfactory, compared to the artillery on the earth, it is more than a little worse, at thirteen kilometers, the error is definitely more than one hundred meters, or even more, this is still the artillery of the Shura Army is more elite, if it is the artillery of the Dark Demon Army, the error is at least one hundred and fifty meters or more, in this way, the probability of a direct hit is pitifully low, if it only explodes within fifty meters of the side, it can be defended with the defense magic of the magicians, therefore, although it was hit by two rounds of shelling, it was only a loss of five magic cannons, and the loss was very small.

The magic cannon troops advanced step by step, and when they advanced to a place of seven kilometers, the god-level magic cannons began to open their gun mounts, ready to open their cannons, and some saint-level magic cannons still needed to continue to move forward for a distance, otherwise, they would not be able to hit the two-hundred-meter-high city wall.

Seeing that the Dark Demon Army also used the magic cannon force, the black-clothed Shura said, "Big brother, what do you think, do you want us to concentrate our firepower to kill them." "No, these small cannons cannons can't cause any damage to the city wall, unless they are allowed to bombard for three or a few days, however, the cannon is still necessary, besides, we should be careful, today they should not only use these means, they should know that they can't capture the city wall by relying on these means alone." "Big brother means ....... "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm most afraid of what if, it's always right to be careful." "Okay, I'll arrange it. "I'll go over here, I'll leave it to you here, I still know a little more about the airborne." Zhang Zeshan is still a little worried.

The black-clothed Shura thought for a while and said, "In this way, it will be troublesome for the eldest brother, so let's work together separately." "It's true that it's okay to command both of them here, but if you want to deal with the airborne troops of the Dark Demon Empire, I'm afraid that there is no one who is better at it than Zhang Zeshan, so it's better to leave it to Zhang Zeshan to deal with.
