Chapter 692: Surprise Attack on the Dragon Acropolis
(I thought there would be no power outage today, but I didn't expect it to stop again, but fortunately, the call came in the evening.) )
The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and Jodah and the others passed between the two enemy forces attacking White Rock City and the other city, and after a night of rainy marching, they came to the Dragon Acropolis, 63 kilometers in a straight line from Sandstone City, before dawn, although they had not traveled more than 63 kilometers.
Before dawn is always the darkest, Vane and the others hid in a hole of mud in the rocky hollows, looking at the purple-blue magic lights in the Dragon Acropolis, and their hearts fluttered. There is always tension before the war, not to mention that this battle is bound to be a very difficult battle, and once the war starts, life and death are uncertain.
Jodah looked at the Dragon Acropolis a kilometer away, and quickly calculated in his heart, which direction to attack, how to attack, whether to let the magician take the lead, or let the cavalry and warriors sneak under the city and then launch a surprise attack?
"General, it will be dawn in the near future. Langdon Road.
Jodah knew that the soldiers were fast, and this was why he asked the troops to rush through the rain, and they must rush to the Acropolis before dawn. He must attack before dawn, the darkness before dawn is not only the best time to cover them, but once it drags on until dawn, these thousands of troops will be exposed to the enemy's army on several sides.
This is undoubtedly a risky operation.
Wilson came to Jodah's side: "General Jodah, you give orders, I will listen to your Jihua actions." ”
Jodah asked, "How many Demon Rock Cannons have brought?"
Langdon said, "General Wilson has five guns, and almost all of our magic rock cannons in White Rock City have been destroyed, and only one has been brought. ”
"Enough. Joda said: "At this time, the enemy is in a full-scale attack, and there will not be too many defenders in the Dragon Acropolis. Alain, you lead a team of 1,500 people into the valley to the east, and you must be the elite of the army. General Wilson and General Langdon, you take 5,000 men to the west of the city, and the rest of the people and the magic rock cannon stay in the north of the city. After a while, the magic rock cannon was fired, and the north and west of the city launched an attack at the same time, Alan you don't act immediately, the valley is too close to the dragon acropolis, and the enemy will definitely pay attention to the direction of the valley. We're going to attract all the defenders of the eastern city, and when the time comes, you'll take 1,500 men into the city and completely break through the dragon acropolis, do you hear me?"
"Hmm. ”
"Action. ”
Under the cover of night, Wilson and Langdon quickly arrived in the west direction of the city with 5,000 men, and Alan quietly entered the valley with 1,500 men, while Jodah commanded six magic rock cannons to slowly move forward, aiming at several Heavenly Thunder Towers and Flame Bunkers on the northern city.
At this time, the 4,000 soldiers and horses in the Dragon Acropolis were negligent and slack due to the all-out attack of the army, and in their opinion, the Demon Moon Army on the 'Heavenly Trench' defense line was now desperately resisting the attack of the St. Vicia army, and they would never have imagined that at this moment in the night, there would be an enemy army of more than 10,000 people lying in ambush, peeking at its vital point.
The greater the adventure, the greater the opportunity.
'Bang bang'.
At the sound of an order, six magic rock cannons opened fire at the same time, five hit the enemy's fortifications, and one missed. The three Heavenly Thunder Towers and the two Flame Bunkers collapsed and destroyed in an instant, and the huge roar made most of the Dragon Guard defenders who were still immersed in sleep suspicious.
"Listen to my orders, the whole army assaults!" The shining dragon flame sword was like a signal, and the soldiers drew their swords one after another to summon the demonic beasts to rush towards the enemy city, and one after another the war horn sounded in the army, this is the horn of attack, the horn of charge.
"Kill!!"
The silent night was broken by the noisy sound of killing, and the defenders on the city walls shouted in panic: "Enemy attack, enemy attack...... The soldiers who had just woken up hurriedly put on their armor and fumbled for their weapons at the head of the bed.
"What's going on?" The defenders of the Dragon Acropolis obviously didn't believe that the enemy would hit their door, and at this time, the army of the Demon Moon should still be struggling to support the 'Heavenly Trench' defense line dozens of kilometers away.
"Report ...... Report General, City ...... A large number of enemy troops suddenly appeared in the north of the city. "The gravity of the situation can be seen from the frightened expressions on the faces of the soldiers.
At this time, there was a noisy shout of killing from the west of the city, and another soldier ran too quickly and fell to the ground: "The general is not good, the city ...... There are also a large number of enemy troops in the direction of the west of the city!" He even became strange in tone of terror.
Sweat broke out on the general's forehead: "How many are there?"
"I don't know, it's too dark to see clearly. ”,
The general pulled out his sword with an iron face, and said to the guard: "Inform the command room and ask for help from the Zawiye camp, the dragon acropolis is under fierce attack by the enemy." ”
"Hurry up, hurry up, get your swords and come out, the enemy is already coming! Hurry up, ...... quickly" The commanders of the battalions and teams urged desperately, only hating Weishenme for being so slack in the past few days, and Weishenme has not been in a state of combat readiness.
'Woohoo......'
A giant beast appeared in the sky above the Dragon Acropolis, and the first soldiers of the Demon Moon Army to rush to the city summoned their own siege beasts.
The fortifications such as the Heavenly Thunder Tower and the Demon Rock Cannon on the Dragon Acropolis are also desperately fighting back, and the heavy artillery, lightning strikes, steel crossbows, and tongues of fire keep spitting, causing one giant beast to fall one after another, and new giant beasts are summoned one after another.
At the same time, there are also various demonic beasts and behemoths summoned in the city, and they jump outside the city to engage the Demon Moon Army in hand-to-hand combat.
"General, the enemy is fighting back!" said Sert, the pro-guard who followed Jodah's side.
Jodah said as he charged, "Tell those commanders to attack at all costs. This battle is our battle to the death, and we can't win it, we can only die!"
The magicians are constantly using their voices to spell out offensive slogans.
"While the enemy's reaction can't keep up now, we must suppress the enemy's counterattack. Joda quickly rushed to the front of the battlefield, and the tongue of fire of the Long Yan Sword spat out more than twenty meters long, and a sword was horizontally against the defenders of the city. And the heavy six magic rock cannons are specially aimed at the enemy's defense towers to bombard.
Inside the Dragon Acropolis.
"General, the enemy is attacking too fiercely, and we are almost unable to stop it. ”
At this time, there were still soldiers in the city who did not rush to the city walls.
The general shouted: "Resist me, never let the enemy attack, we must support it, our reinforcements will come soon." ”
"But there are enemies on both the west and north sides, and the pressure on us is too great, and there are not enough soldiers. ”
The Dragon Acropolis is not easy to defend, it is located in the Volkan Wasteland, surrounded by barren mountains and rocks, but at the same time the terrain is flat, only the east and south parts of the valley can be relied on. But at the same time, it is also a key point that connects the east, west, south and north, and almost all the food and soldiers transported to the front camp must pass through here.
'Boom' A magic rock cannon bombarded the city wall, and the entire wall was blasted out of a gap, and the general was blasted into the city by the air wave.
"General, general......" The soldiers who escaped hurriedly went down to the city to find the general.
The general patted the mud and dust all over his body and got up, but several of the guards around him became a pile of rotten meat. The general gritted his teeth angrily: "Tell all the soldiers to go to the city for me to withstand the enemy's attack, and never let the enemy attack the city!"
Slope Valley.
Alain squatted behind a boulder with a few guards, and peered through binoculars at the soldiers and lights on the eastern wall, followed by his 1,500 elite soldiers.
The defenders in the eastern city and the valley had long been attracted by the sound of battle on the north and west sides, so they were nervously wary of the enemy attacking the east and the valley.
A pro-guard said: "Damn, they haven't left yet, it's already dawning." ”
The eastern sky has already shown a glimmer of dawn.
Alan was also secretly anxious in his heart, whether the soldiers here would leave or not depended on whether General Jodah's attack on the east and west sides was fierce enough.
After a while, the soldiers in the eastern part of the city seemed to have received an order, and most of them left the city walls, leaving only a few soldiers.
"Hey, they're gone, general. ”
Alain took a closer look at the castle and the valley with a telescope, and said, "Wait a little longer, and we will move when the evacuated enemy is a little farther away." ”
After three minutes, Alain felt that the time was almost up, waved his hand, and rushed to the east city wall with 1500 elites.
In the city, the west and north walls have become bloody, and the soldiers of the Demon Moon Army who are constantly attacking the city intersect with the white blades of the guards, a tragic scene. The generals on both sides were all bloodstained, their faces were hideous, and all they could think of was the constant killing, the warm blood dripping layer after layer on the mottled armor.
The defender of the Dragon Acropolis raised his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, this general is with you, swear to defend the Dragon Acropolis to the death, and never let the Demon Moon Army attack the city!" At this time, the sky was already faintly bright, and he had already seen the number of enemy troops, although the enemy was small and the attack was extremely fierce, but it was not necessarily impossible to resist the Dragon Acropolis with 4,000 troops. As long as they can resist the onslaught of the Demon Moon Army at the beginning and frustrate their spirits, when the reinforcements come, they can counterattack and attack.
When the soldiers of the Dragon Acropolis saw the attitude of the enemy attack, they knew that this was a battle to the death, and they also swore to the death and fought bloodily with the Demon Moon Army that rushed up. But at this time, the Dragon Acropolis fell into chaos.
The general defending the city exclaimed, "What's the matter?"
A personal guard went to inquire and came back to report: "Oh no, General, a large number of enemy troops have attacked from Dongcheng!"
"What?" the general defending the city exclaimed: "Oh no, I have paid attention to the attacks on the west and north sides, and the enemy must have laid an ambush in the east and waited for a surprise attack." But he also knew that there was nothing he could do, and that he would not be able to stop the enemy if he did not concentrate all the forces in the city to the west and north.
"What now? The enemy has attacked the city, and we can't hold it. ”
The general defending the city gritted his teeth and gurgled for a while before he said: "Retreat, retreat quickly, withdraw from the south of the Dragon Acropolis!"
