"Actually took the initiative to attack us?"

All the pillars were taken aback when they saw this, because the other party obviously had the convenience of defending the castle, and it stands to reason that it would be easier to defend this battle by guarding the castle walls, but the other party obviously gave up this advantage.

"Hmph, that's too little to look at. The Red Ghost King said angrily.

"Since the other side has launched an offensive, then our side can't be too lazy, pass the order down, and the whole army will counterattack. As soon as Joseph's words fell, the allied forces also sounded the horn of attack.

For a while, nearly a million soldiers rushed out with bursts of deafening shouts and killings, and the coalition forces of the Nine Abyss Planes immediately engaged the army of the Black Demon King, and the sound of charging and fighting was intertwined.

......

Half an hour after the start of the war, under a low sand dune to the west of the Demon King's Castle, a team of people slowly gathered.

"Hey, Leonardo, are we really going to attack from here?" Verdon asked, looking at the high walls of the Demon King's castle.

"Nonsense, they've all come here, is this still fake? What, are you scared?" Zhao Nan looked back at him with a smile.

Verdon said, "I'm not afraid, but I think it really works." ”

Zhao Nan smiled, and then asked: "Verdon, whether it works or not still needs to be verified through practice, if you are not brave enough, then we will leave?"

Verdon smiled bitterly and said, "When you talk about this, will I hold back?" But even though he said that, Verdon looked at the troops he had brought, and his heart was still a little uncertain.

For the soldiers, the last thing they want is to fight siege warfare, because often the number of dead and wounded in a battle will be much higher than the guerrilla warfare they are usually good at.

Here's the thing. About a few minutes ago, Zhao Nan suddenly asked Wei Deng if he wanted to make a contribution, and Wei Deng naturally said that he wanted to do it very much, but Zhao Nan told him that there was a way to directly attack the Demon King's Castle and seize the Demon King's head.

Verdon was skeptical at first, but Zhao Nan quickly ran to pull the two teams back. Because Zhao Nan was originally an officer in this campaign, he also had a certain position in the coalition army, and the speed of gathering people was not slow at all.

Soon, Zhao Nan really came back with 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, as well as a large number of catapults for siege.

When you see these things. Wei Deng fully confirmed that Zhao Nan's previous words were not a joke.

may see that Verdon is still a little worried, Zhao Nan said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't do such a thing as hitting a stone with an egg." ”

Seeing his expression, Verdon's heart suddenly settled down a lot.

"It seems that the soldiers of the Demon King already know that we are coming. "Look at the soldiers who are nervously moving around the castle tower. Zhao Nan suddenly said this.

Now Zhao Nan really seemed to be planning to capture his castle, and observed the surrounding environment of the castle very carefully.

In fact. Zhao Nan was really observing. Because he has not been this black demon king for a long time, he does not know much about the structure of the castle at all.

Looking up from this side, this seems to be the west gate of the castle, and the guards are not as close as the main gate, so Zhao Nan will choose to take Wei Deng to attack here, on the one hand, it will be easier to fight. On the other hand, it is possible to avoid the eyes and ears of the pillars of the abyss such as Joseph.

Because, Zhao Nan is going to put on a good show here next.

Verdon shrugged and said, "No way, there are too many of us, and there is no cover here in the desert." The Demon King's soldiers above will know our location right away with a little observation. ”

After coming to a place only four hundred meters away from the city, Zhao Nan asked the troops to stop advancing, and then he rode alone on a horse and silently observed the soldiers of the demon king on the city wall.

More than 2,000 archers standing on the wall of the Demon King's Castle released their arrows in unison, and suddenly, a large number of flying arrows pressed towards them like dark clouds.

On Zhao Nan's side, there were many coalition soldiers who immediately instinctively picked up the shields in their hands to block their heads, but the three thousand cavalry standing behind them and Zhao Nan, who was standing in front of everyone, did not move.

After a dense sound of "pop, pop, pop......", all the arrows gradually slowed down as they shot in front of everyone because they were too far away, and then fell to the ground from mid-air.

Although it didn't hit anyone, the overwhelming rain of arrows still sent chills to most of the five thousand soldiers.

Obviously, this is a powerful threat.

However, at this time, the corners of Zhao Nan's mouth twitched slightly. After a while, Zhao Nan shouted: "The whole army is advancing." With that, he took the lead and rode forward.

Widden, who was behind, had no choice but to lead his troops to follow.

After coming to a distance of about one hundred and fifty meters from the city wall, Zhao Nan ordered to stop advancing, and then said loudly: "All the catapults are ready, check the distance, and aim at the top of the city wall." ”

Upon hearing his order, the soldier in charge of the catapult immediately began to adjust the firing angle of the catapult.

After the soldiers behind prepared the catapult, Zhao Nan said loudly: "Stone-throwing!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen catapults loaded with boulders flew through the air like frightened birds that suddenly flew out of the forest, and then smashed into the top and inside of the city wall with a terrible sound of wind.

Although the slings are not sufficient, the weight of each boulder is not comparable to the human flesh and blood drive, and there is no shield that can withstand the attack of such a boulder.

Wherever they were hit, there were many soldiers of the Demon King on the city wall who didn't even have time to dodge, so they were smashed into meat sauce in large areas, and for a while, brains, blood, and broken shields flew everywhere......

Seeing that the people in his castle were killed by the coalition soldiers he brought, Zhao Nan did not show any expression of pity.

This is a play, and to deceive the enemy, this price still needs to be paid.

Bang bang bang......

Catapults kept throwing boulders and falling on the city walls, making a heavy crashing sound.

Compared with the actual lethality, this kind of scene shocked the soldiers of the Demon King even more. For a while, except for some of the soldiers of the demon king on the city wall who desperately escaped, most of the soldiers chose to hide their bodies under the protective wall as much as possible.

In fact, there are also catapults on the castle of the Demon King, but due to the lack of space on the city wall, they can only be installed in the city. However, because it is too close to the city wall, the distance will be more than half higher than the height of the ordinary catapult, otherwise it will not be possible to cross the high city wall, so the distance will be much shorter than that of the ordinary catapult.

At this time, they also began to use catapults. I saw more than 20 large stones suddenly fly out of the city like magic, and then fly directly to the enemy on the Xiangxia side.

However, like the previous bow and arrow, the catapult that could have been thrown a hundred to two hundred meters away could only land seventy or eighty meters away from the city wall when it crossed the high city wall, which was just outside the range of the coalition soldiers, so it almost did not cause damage to anyone, but one or two large stones bounced back because they could not cross the city wall, and seven or eight demon king soldiers were crushed on the spot.

Seeing this, Zhao Nan laughed, and then said loudly: "Archers prepare." ”

The three thousand cavalry of the coalition immediately jumped from their horses and stood on the ground, then took off their longbows from their backs and mounted their arrows, and then aimed each of them at the top of the wall.

The archers on the walls of the Demon King's Castle continued to shoot arrows from the soldiers below, and the boulders thrown from the castle did not stop at all, but due to the distance, they could not hit anyone.

At this time, Zhao Nan slowly raised his right hand, and then waved forward vigorously and said loudly, "Release the arrow." ”

Suddenly, the sky seemed to suddenly darken, and countless arrows flew towards the city wall like a torrential rain.

Compared with the situation when more than 2,000 soldiers of the Demon King fired arrows at the same time, this round of arrow rain can really be called a heavy rain now.

Moreover, unlike just now, the power of these arrows was so strong that there was no lack of strength at all, and each arrow was shot very forcefully and accurately at all the soldiers who exposed their bodies above.

The arrows were so powerful that a soldier who had just bared his head was shot in the face with an arrow that pierced his cheek so deep that blood was pouring down his face like a red spring.

Another soldier was shot in the throat by an arrow that toppled him to the ground with the excess force of the arrow.

For a moment, countless arrows rained down on the soldiers on the city wall. The rain of arrows flew like locusts, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air rang in the ears of the Demon King's soldiers from time to time. The soldiers, who didn't have much combat experience, completely lost their minds, screaming and running away, pushing and slamming into a ball, and some soldiers were even trampled on by others and let out loud screams.

But no one saw it at this time, they only saw the arrows that kept flying, and there were arrows, arrows, arrows everywhere!

Not only that, but the boulders thrown from the catapults in the back still mercilessly smashed into the disorganized soldiers. When each boulder falls, it will smash a large area of flesh and blood.

Zhao Nan watched from below, and could see that the heads of these demon king soldiers kept floating up pieces of damage, and the dense ones were not spectacular.

"This is war?" Verdon stood behind Zhao Nan on horseback, and was immediately shocked by this kind of scene, feeling that when he was a law enforcement team in the Dark Girls Church before, the kind of battle between a dozen or a dozen people, or even a few people, was like a child's daughter-in-law.

As for Zhao Nan, he watched all this happen coldly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

......

At the same time, located in the interior of the Demon King's Castle, many generals have disappeared, saying that the west gate of the castle is about to be captured. Some of the generals were about to bring reinforcements, but strangely they were stopped by Loki.

Although they didn't understand that Weishenme wanted to do this, the generals had to obey orders. (To be continued......)
