Chapter 1,126 A brutal war of attrition(1/3)
Of course, just filling in this wide and deep moat cannot be done in a short time.
Especially the long-range defensive firepower of the Sun God Kingdom, which is armed to the teeth.
On the first day alone, more than 3,000 serfs and coalition soldiers suffered casualties.
At night, the coalition forces had to ask for Nalant's support.
I hope Nalant can send his magic cannon to support the coalition forces.
Narant will not refuse even if he hears the request.
Although every magic energy cannon fired is worth gold coins.
But now we have arrived under the city wall of the Kingdom of the Sun.
He also wanted to destroy the Kingdom of the Sun God faster.
As long as the Kingdom of the Sun God is wiped out, the Storm Kingdom will no longer have a powerful enemy on this continent from now on.
There is no need to be timid when developing.
Ever since, during the Tianhe battle on the second day, Nalant's hundreds of magic armored vehicles drove outside the Holy City.
As the purple magic energy shells bombarded the Holy City of the Sun God Kingdom, they immediately startled the Sun God Kingdom coalition forces in the city.
However, what Nalant didn't expect was that the damage done by the magic cannon was not as powerful as before.
This is not because the magic cannon is broken, or because Nalant is reluctant to use the magic crystal.
It's because the walls of the holy city are protected by magic circles.
In the past, magic energy bombardment on ordinary city walls could immediately blow up a large area.
For example, the battlements of the city wall will definitely be torn into pieces.
But when the magic energy cannonballs hit the wall stacks of the holy city, the power was directly absorbed.
I saw a faint light shining on the surface of the city wall, like a protective shield.
The power of the magic energy cannon is directly reduced, and even the corners of the wall stacks cannot be damaged.
The result of this is that unless the magic energy cannon directly hits the inside of the wall, it will cause greater casualties.
But the wall stacks are only that big, and it’s not like the magic cannon missed its arrow.
It is normal to have an error of one or two meters when shooting, and there is no way to control it.
Therefore, in a round of shelling, it is considered good if half of them hit the middle of the wall.
Even if there is no enemy in the middle of the wall with the help of magic cannons, the magic cannons may go directly over the city wall and then shoot into the Holy City.
Although the Holy City can also be damaged, this is not what Nalant and the others want.
What they want is that the magic cannon can suppress the enemies on the city wall.
Nalant immediately frowned. Such a bombardment effect was absolutely wasteful and inefficient.
As a result, Nalant ordered a group of magic armored vehicles to start retreating.
After retreating for almost two hundred meters, he started shooting again.
In this way, the magic energy cannon will have a larger arc parabola.
Although the accuracy has become worse, there is a greater probability of avoiding the wall stacks and bombarding the center of the Holy City wall.
"That's the strange iron box that the escort soldiers reported when they returned from defeat some time ago."
"Leader of the Goblin, let your magic cannons suppress him as much as possible. As for those serf coolies, just give them to the magic cannons of our Sun Kingdom Guards!"
Although Narant was very dissatisfied with the results of his bombardment.
But it still made the leader of the Holy City of Sun Kingdom feel a huge threat on the city wall.
Therefore, the leader of the Holy City found the hired Goblin leader without hesitation.
Let him aim all the magic cannons at Nalant's magic armored vehicle.
These goblins also have more than 200 magic cannons in total, and they were the ones who killed the most people filling the river yesterday.
"Okay, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief!"
Naturally, the Goblin leader did not hesitate. He also heard the report from the commander of his subordinates who had returned from defeat last time.
It was that iron box that destroyed most of the hundreds of magic cannons brought by the Goblins.
Today, the walls of the Holy City have a strong magic circle, which can be used to solve the iron box.
Although it was the first time he saw the iron box, he could figure it out.
Although such an iron box can withstand magic energy cannonballs.
But he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand a few shots.
I'm afraid it can be blasted away with at most three or four shots.
Subsequently, two hundred Goblin magic cannons on the walls of the Holy City launched a bombardment on the magic armored vehicles from above.
Because of its height advantage, the Goblin's magic cannon can better target the magic armored vehicle against the wall.
In just one salvo, at least forty or fifty magic energy cannons hit the magic energy armored vehicle.
"Ook, Ook, your noble lord, this is not okay!"
"Those goblins on the walls of the Holy City have better shooting angles."
"So their targeting accuracy is higher than ours."
"If we keep shooting here, I'm afraid it won't be long before some magic armored vehicles are damaged."
The Lombard leader immediately found Narant and warned him after being shelled.
In fact, no need to remind him, Narant discovered the problem immediately.
After all, this magic armored vehicle is also the most precious firepower in his family.
"Rumba, then start exercising and don't be afraid of consuming magic energy crystals."
"After you finish shooting, if you see that the opponent's energy storage is about to be completed, move immediately."
"And wait for the opponent's magic cannon to finish firing, then stop and aim and shoot!"
Nalant immediately gave the hint to the goblin Lumba.
"Yes, my lord!"
When Lumba heard this, he immediately understood the meaning.
Then he led several goblins and began to explain to the members of each magic armored vehicle.
Then, the team of magic armored vehicles turned out just as Nalant said.
Move immediately when the enemy's energy charge is about to be completed.
After the enemy's magic energy cannon finished shooting, it stopped and aimed and fired.
Although more magic energy is consumed than before, the probability of the magic energy armored vehicle being hit is lower.
The goblins on the city wall were not stupid when they saw this. After the shooting was completed, they also temporarily pulled the magic cannon behind the wall stacks.
After Nalant finished shooting, they moved to the front of the wall stack again and started shooting.
In this way, on the second day of the Holy City War, the two sides began to engage in a war of attrition that pulled each other apart.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It will not only consume the opponent's energy, but also consume the opponent's material reserves.
Fortunately, although they were mutually consuming, the appearance of Nalant's magic armored vehicle actually attracted the two hundred magic cannons from the opposite side.
Therefore, the casualties of serf coolies dropped by most in the next ten days or so.
From more than 3,000 people on the first day, the number of casualties dropped to more than 1,000 daily casualties.
Of course, even so, after more than ten days, just filling in the moat cost the coalition forces tens of thousands of casualties.
This shows how brutal this battle was.
But even so, it still did not shake the will of the high priests of the coalition to attack the Holy City of the Kingdom of the Sun.
As soon as the moat was filled, the truly brutal siege began.
