Chapter 115 The sealed castle
"So does the virus have some special contact information? Otherwise, it will be impossible to explain that the three virus armies in the west, south and east are acting at the same time, which makes it feel like they are anxious to jump over the wall."
Qin Ge thought about it, while calculating how long it would take to take the Eldrin Castle, the virus's cavalry was very troublesome. If it was a preset position, it could barely fight. However, if it was a movement like this, it would become very difficult if the enemy had more than 5,000 cavalry attacking from all directions.
"So, the cavalry must be established, otherwise the field battle will still suffer."
Just as Qin Ge was planning for the future military development, a 20,000 virus-related interception army finally appeared in front of him. They lined up on a hilly high ground to form a huge shield array. Behind the shield array was a large number of crossbowmen, most of which were heavy crossbowmen, probably more than 5,000.
There is no doubt that the tactical changes of the virus are very flexible. After suffering the loss of the heavy crossbowman on Qin Ge, he immediately changed the corresponding tactics and would rather delay the siege than grab the time and advantageous location. Moreover, this is a good wind, which will increase the range of the crossbow arrow by at least 30 meters.
"Shanying, are you sure?"
Qin Ge stepped forward and asked at this time.
"Lord, there will be no problem. We have a level advantage here. Both the soldiers' health and attack power are far greater than the opponent. However, there will definitely be some casualties. The virus will get a good position."
"Then let it go and release the siege crossbow!" Qin Ge said decisively. These crossbow soldiers were finally trained. Once injured or dead, it would be long to recover. Instead of doing so, wait a few minutes before the siege crossbows are transported to the rear and simply destroy them!
Shan Ying had no objection to this, but Changqin was a little dissatisfied. In her opinion, sacrifice was inevitable. At worst, let her Storm Swordsman rush forward with his shield and then let the crossbow soldiers come forward to suppress the arrow rain. If you seize the Eldrin Castle a few minutes earlier, you will gain more advantages in the subsequent battle to defend the city.
She did not want Qin Ge to repeat the mistakes of his friendly troops.
But Qin Ge was very cautious, and Shan Ying was even more cautious, so she simply said nothing.
Five minutes later, five owl-level siege crossbows were transported up, and then they began to debug, test and volley. They fired volleys at the opposite high ground for a minute, and fired 450 giant crossbow arrows.
It was so embarrassing that the virus soldiers on the opposite side were so embarrassed that they were so embarrassed.
Even the magic arrow shooters who were specially arranged there on the hilly and high ground opposite were killed three or four hundred.
Taking advantage of the suppression of the owl-level siege crossbow, Shanying commanded the crossbowmen array to start to move forward. Naturally, there were crossbow arrows flying in, but the damage was not high. When it entered the range, Shanying gave the order, the first row of eight hundred gray-eared heavy crossbowmen shot in a round of volleys, and a large number of virus crossbowmen arrays on the opposite side fell down, with too high damage, one arrow at one arrow.
When the six rows of crossbowmen shot three rounds in a row, the heavy crossbowmen on the opposite high ground were basically cleared.
Qin Ge only died in total, 19 seriously injured, and the losses were minimal.
The next step is simple. Six rows of crossbowmen kept firing in turn. Wherever the arrow rain covered, it was hell on earth, and the shield formation was not useful. In a blink of an eye, it was shot and exploded. The virus army formation was filled with sorrow and suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the virus lords thought of charging in groups, but if they missed the first move, 1,250 Silver Mist Rangers were waiting. As long as they entered the range of 600 meters, they would be covered directly with the arrow curtain like a heavy rain. Whether it was a powerful virus hero, a virus lord, or an elite army, there were never exceptions.
For five minutes, 20,000 virus soldiers were wailing and all died on the way to charge.
It's strange, because before, virus soldiers would escape desperately when the battle was finally underway, including the virus lord, but now, even though they knew they were dead, they would rush forward like crazy.
"It seems that I poked the pain point of the virus this time?"
Qin Ge thought about it and ordered Shanying's crossbow troops to continue advancing, while ordering the female swordsman Changqin to lead the Storm Swordsman to take the lead in occupying the eastern wall of Eldrin Castle, and at the same time, forming an encirclement of the virus troops in the west.
Shanshi's engineering troops followed closely behind, and they needed to repair the damaged city walls in the shortest time.
In addition, in another ten minutes, the first virus reinforcements will arrive, but unfortunately they can only eat ashes now, because the castle fortress has been in the hands of Qin Ge.
And so far, there are more than 3,000 soldiers left by other marshals in the city who are resisting tenaciously.
The remaining five thousand soldiers of the virus only controlled the broken city walls to the west. When Qin Ge's army surrounded them, they could eat them without waiting for the virus reinforcements to arrive!
As for virus reinforcements, of course, one to destroy another.
But Qin Ge was thinking this way, a scout of the gray owl descended from the sky.
"Lord, about five thousand virus soldiers withdrew from the west wall in the fortress and were retreating to the west."
"What?"
"Lord, the first supporter of the Western virus has been suspended, and the motive is unknown."
"Lord, the Second Supporting Army of the Southern Virus has been suspended, and its motive is unknown."
"Lord, the third supporter of the Eastern Virus has been suspended, and the motive is unknown."
As he was about to take down the Eldrin Castle, the scout Grey Owl suddenly heard new information about the battle situation.
Qin Ge was stunned and then understood that there was no doubt that the virus was directly entering the last link in the third-level reaction mechanism. They were going to fight to the death. In the next few days, viruses within a radius of one thousand kilometers or within a radius of three thousand kilometers would gather.
"I seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest?"
Regardless of what Qin Ge thought before, at this moment, he did have the idea of retreating. Only when things come, he will truly feel the terrifying pressure.
"Oh my uncle, I hope it won't be a hard work and I'll have nothing after the battle."
After thinking about it, Qin Ge was still very happy to stand in front of this desolate and dilapidated ancient castle, which was even more gloomy and terrifying than the ghost castle.
What he is more curious about now is what is in this fortress, or what is the meaning of occupying this fortress?
When I opened the Marshal's scroll, I found that there was no new information on it, nor did I change the merits.
After rolling it up again, Qin Ge ordered all troops to enter the key points of the castle, and began to take a closer look.
This castle covers a considerable area and is located on a huge hill, which is actually a large hill fifty or sixty meters high.
The shape of the castle is not square, but changes with the height of the hills, so it looks particularly layered from the outside.
There are two floors of the castle wall, and there are also protruding round tower piers in different areas, but now they are basically damaged.
In addition, I don’t know how many years this fortress has existed. Even the stones on the city walls have a special black and brown color. Qin Ge picked up a broken sword on the ground and knocked it. He was surprised to find that the stone actually made a unique sound of gold and iron.
"Lord, this is a bronze city brick that has been poured by magic. It has not rotted or decayed for billions of years. This also represents the most typical architectural style of the Black Eye Man. I didn't expect that the Black Eye Man's castle would appear here."
The voice of the female swordsman Changqin came from afar. Qin Ge turned around and saw her walking quickly.
"Lord, I suggest you go to the core area of the castle, where some situations need your treatment."
"Okay." Qin Ge nodded, and some information about the black eyed man appeared in his mind. There was very little. He only knew that the black eyed man was the life-and-death enemy of the gray eared man. The two sides had fought each other for countless years and had a victory or defeat.
After climbing over the city wall, I walked along the street covered with corpses and blood. After about 800 meters, it suddenly became clear in front of me. A square with a diameter of 300 meters appeared. In the center of the square, a space-time coordinates with white light flashing in the space and time were very conspicuous.
This square connects four streets in total. The street to the east leads directly to the east wall, and the street to the south leads directly to the south wall, which is the road that Qin Ge walked along the way.
To the west is the city wall that leads directly to the west.
As for the north side of the square, there is only a stairway with a length of 200 meters, connecting a taller and more spectacular castle.
The wounded soldiers and dead bodies lying all over the square at this time were all soldiers left by the marshals before. As for the remaining three thousand soldiers, they are still on the west wall. They will recognize Qin Ge's identity as the city lord, and there will be no suspense.
So--
After Qin Ge looked around for a week, he walked straight to the center of the square. He already knew what Changqin was talking about, because through the time and space coordinates, he unexpectedly sensed his territory.
What's the situation?
Has his territory begun to coincide with this ancient fortress?
When Qin Ge approached the coordinates of space-time, the light of the coordinates of space-time was particularly dazzling. He could even see the blue hall in the territory through the light, and also see soldiers, Lan Yan and others in the territory.
"Wait, why do the territory and fortress overlap?"
Qin Ge suddenly stopped and frowned. He did not reject the extra castle territory he had, nor did he resist the persistence of the virus army besieged the city, but he was very opposed to everything that he did not know the reason.
From the crab at the beginning, to the spirit of the world, to Xiaoqi, he was very disgusted with the changes in the situation and was not controlled by himself. At least he had to have the right to know.
So he was particularly alert to the current situation.
After thinking about it, Qin Ge took back his steps and retreated.
And as he opened the distance, the light on the coordinates of time and space returned to its original appearance.
"General Changqin, what do you think is the situation?"
Qin Ge asked.
"I don't know, I have never seen the powerful teleportation spells you used when you recruited soldiers, such as Lord Lord. In the era of the Gray Ears, people with such powerful teleportation spells were all the most powerful mages, but such mages also disdained to use ordinary soldiers to defeat the virus. So, I'm sorry, I can't give any insights or suggestions."
"I understand." Qin Ge nodded, and bypassed the time and space coordinates and went to the northernmost castle.
This city in the city looks pretty well preserved, but it is dark and gloomy overall. All the doors and windows are tightly closed, leaving many traces of impact and chopping on it. Obviously, whether it is the virus or the friendly forces before, they are trying to open the castle, but unfortunately none of them succeed.
Qin Ge walked forward and knocked it with his hands. As expected, the materials of the castle were also made of bronze bricks filled with magic, so human power could not be opened at all.
"Lord, maybe the priestess of the God of Purple Moon may have a way to open such a sealed castle. At the least, she also knows what's going on." Changqin suddenly suggested.
