With the appearance of the enemy, Dawn City immediately moved into action. First, 5,000 spearmen set up a defensive formation in front of the city gate. All enemies who tried to enter through the city gate would be mercilessly slaughtered by them. These warriors who are proficient in fighting spirit
Soldiers are the elite of the empire and are not afraid of any enemies.
Originally...if the masked knights were here, with the spearmen guarding the gate and the masked knights running back and forth within the city wall, they could definitely kill the invading enemies without leaving any trace behind. However, now, the masked war beasts are all in a state of evolution.
, Knight Monma is now effectively disabled and unable to display his strength at all.
Looking at the ten-mile long line of the city wall, Suojia couldn't help but smile bitterly. He could only send all the slave soldiers to the city wall. Even if they didn't have weapons, they could hit them with stones all over the ground. Suojia believed that this was better than
Let them be cannon fodder, they will definitely be much more powerful.
In the face of the enemy, 40,000 regular slave soldiers took up weapons and armor. Although they were not good at fighting on the battlefield, they were already battle-hardened and were not afraid of fighting. Everyone was waiting with bated breath.
The beginning of the battle.
Outside Dawn City, the thieves' coalition was still gathering quickly, and their number soon reached one hundred thousand. Looking at it, it was so dark that the entire wilderness seemed to be covered.
Looking at the direction of the horizon, Suojia was secretly worried. Judging from the current situation, the number of enemy and our soldiers seemed to be the same. Shuguang had an army of 100,000, and there was also an army of 100,000 thieves outside the city. But don't forget.
, there are 60,000 slave soldiers, but they still go to the battlefield shirtless, and the only weapon is the stone in their hand!
In comparison, the thieves alliance outside the city is different. Although they cannot be said to be elite, they are all wearing neat armor and holding sharp weapons in their hands. This is the current slave soldier and cannot be compared to it in any case.
, although the battle has not yet begun, the opponent seems to have already secured the victory.
However, Suojia knew that they also had some tricks up their sleeves, and that was the 40,000 regular slave soldiers. Of these 40,000 slave soldiers, they were all wearing armor and had spears, long bows, and swords and shields in their hands. Only that one
The Ten Thousand Knights cannot function because they have no horses, but just relying on their steel armor and the swords in their hands are enough to compare with elite soldiers.
Looking at the dark thieves alliance in the sky, Suojia knew that he had to survive this battle. The opponent would definitely conduct a probing attack at the beginning. Once Shuguang's strength was determined, they would attack across the board. If not at this time,
, if you inflict a painful blow to the opponent, the consequences of this battle may be disastrous!
While thinking, a light flashed in Suojia's mind, and he preached loudly: "Give me the order, all 40,000 regular slave troops will hide in the building near the city wall, use the alarm bell as a signal, and attack in formation. If the alarm bell does not sound, no one will be killed."
You are not allowed to rush out, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Following Suojia's order, 40,000 regular slave soldiers quickly retreated into the building near the city wall. At the same time, in the direction outside the city, the first batch of thieves troops had launched a tentative attack. Looking at the rapidly approaching
The thieves army, Suojia roared: "Soldiers, no matter what, we must withstand this wave of attacks. Pick up rocks and hit me hard!"
After hearing Suojia's order, although they didn't know what Suojia had planned, all the slave soldiers knew that now is not the time to retreat. The so-called extending the head is also a knife, and retracting the head is also a knife. If you rush forward bravely, there may be a way to survive.
, on the battlefield, the more you retreat, the faster you will die!
For a moment, all the slaves picked up rocks as big as their heads and quickly moved to the top of the city wall, ready to attack the bandit army outside the city at any time.
Soon, the coalition of thieves rushed to the city wall. Looking at it, although these thieves were wearing leather armor and had sharp blades, it could be seen at a glance that the leather armor was in tatters and the weapons were all curled and notched.
Obviously, there are also slave soldiers in the bandit army. They are used to test the enemy's strength and serve as cannon fodder. They must be slave soldiers.
The city wall of Shuguang City is actually a large pile of stones, four or five meters high, with an inclination of about 60 degrees. It is completely possible to rush directly to the city wall by stepping on the rocks. At this time... what needs to be tested is the strength of the defense. As long as it is slightly
If you retreat, the enemy will rush to the city wall, and then... a steady stream of enemies will pour in, and the Dawn City will inevitably fall.
Finally, after a slight hesitation, all the bandit soldiers began to climb up the slightly steep rocky slope toward the city wall. Seeing this, General Jason finally issued an order.
"Control...Control! Control!" Following General Jason's long cry, a dozen of the surprisingly loud messengers shouted at the same time. Then, the 60,000 slave soldiers who heard the shouts screamed.
They raised their voices and shouted wildly, holding stones in their arms and swarming on the city wall crazily.
For a moment, all the thieves were shocked to find that densely packed figures appeared on the long city wall. Each figure held a stone as big as their head in their arms and stared at them condescendingly, as if they would smash it down at any time.
appearance.
"Go... go! Go!" The next moment, the voices of General Jason and the messengers rang out again. Upon hearing the sound, all the slave soldiers shouted in unison and launched their attacks towards the thieves soldiers under the city wall.
To attack, smash the stone in your hand with all your strength.
On the ten-mile-long, ten-thousand-meter-long city wall (miles are measured here), the first batch of ten thousand slaves smashed the stones in their hands, and then turned around and left the city wall. Behind them, the second slave soldier
Just when it popped up, he smashed the stone in his hand with all his strength, followed by the third, fourth...
The city wall is ten thousand meters long. On every meter of the city wall, there are six slave soldiers. They walk up the city wall one by one, throw down the stones in their hands, then turn around and get off the city wall, continuing to hold the stones. In the past few weeks, enough stones have been mined.
They've been smashing it for a week!
Without interruption, stone rain powder flew into the air. The slave soldiers who were close to the city wall were smashed into bloody pieces. Only those who were a little further away were spared. For a time, facing such a dense rain of stones, all the thieves were stunned.
They all retreated. This was simply more terrifying than the earth magic - Torch Stone Purgatory.
In this way, on the 10,000-meter-long city wall and in front of the city wall, the bandit army threw down the corpses of more than 40,000 bandit soldiers in embarrassment, and withdrew in embarrassment. Due to the lack of long-range strike capabilities, the losses were very huge, and only one contact
, thus losing 40% of their troops! This was something the bandit army never expected.
In fact, not only the Thieves Army, but also the initiators of the strategy, Suo Jia, and General Jason, did not expect this result. In the battle just now, Dawn City suffered zero casualties, and only more than a hundred slave soldiers lost their balance.
, fell from the city wall, only slightly injured. So far, no one has left the battlefield due to injuries.
After suffering such a big loss, the commander-in-chief of the thieves alliance probably felt very humiliated. The thieves army was divided, and a group of strong thieves wearing yellow thieves leather armor appeared. After quickly forming an array, they came toward the enemy with murderous intent.
Dawn came to kill.
Looking at the thieves army in the distance, General Jason's expression changed drastically, and he shouted: "It's not bad, this is the Locust thieves army. They all hold hand crossbows and can kill the enemy within 50 steps. In this way, once the slave soldiers
If you show up on the city wall, you will definitely die!" "Hand crossbow!" Hearing Jason's words, Suojia couldn't help but change his expression. Looking at the locust army totaling 20,000, Suojia couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Now, I can't hide it anymore, it's time to take action.
While thinking, Suojia said loudly: "Sound the alarm immediately and order the sword, shield and longbow soldiers to come out immediately and go up to the city wall to meet the enemy. As long as the locust thieves are eliminated, we will win!"
Hearing Suojia's words, General Jason was stunned for a moment, then he patted his head with joy and laughed: "Look at me, I forgot that we still have an army of 40,000, especially those long archers. Although
The accuracy is not very good, but the range has reached two hundred steps, which can definitely suppress these locust thieves. After all... the range of the hand crossbow is only 50 meters!"
(Your one click warms my entire coding life. Log in to read literature together and support genuine literature.) Along with the roaring alarm bell, countless regular slave soldiers poured out of the buildings beside the city wall, following the order.
Following the orders of the soldiers, they all went up to the city wall and set up a defensive formation as usual training.
The so-called defensive formation is that soldiers with swords and shields are in front, ready to block the rain of arrows at any time, and attack enemies climbing up the wall through the gaps between the shields.
Behind the sword and shield soldiers are spear soldiers holding four and a half-meter long spears. Before close contact with the sword and shield soldiers, the thieves must first avoid the spears. Otherwise, they will pay a heavy price.
Want to get closer!
Behind the spearmen, there are ten thousand longbowmen. After several weeks of training, these guys are amazing. Although they cannot accurately hit a single enemy, they can already accurately shoot arrows in a fixed area.
Yes, this area can be accurate to within ten meters.
Just after setting up the formation, the Locust Bandits were already swarming nearby from outside the city. They were constantly estimating the position of the Locust Bandit Army. Finally... General Jason issued an order again.
"Control...Control! Control!" As Jason, the messengers, and the ten thousand longbowmen shouted one after another, the longbowmen hiding in the back row stood up one after another. With a creaking sound, the longbows were full of strings.
Aiming at the enemy outside the city who has entered within a hundred meters!
On top of the city tower, General Jason shouted loudly: "Target one hundred steps, shoot!"
As soon as General Jason finished speaking, ten messengers shouted at the same time. Ten deep voices followed the iron trumpets in their hands and roared across the entire battlefield: "Target 100 steps, go!"
After receiving the order, tens of thousands of longbowmen started shouting at the same time. While shouting loudly, their fingers loosened, and ten thousand sharp arrows roared away from the bowstrings. In a buzzing sound, in just a moment, 100-90 people in front of the city wall
All the thieves within a meter range fell collectively. Although there was no accuracy, the arrows were too dense after all, and there was no way to hide under the rain of arrows.
Seeing the sudden rain of arrows, all the Locust thieves couldn't help but froze for a moment. In that moment, General Jason's voice rang again: "Target 90 steps, shoot!"
Following General Jason's order, the sky-wide rain of arrows appeared again. Under the dense rain of arrows, the locust thieves fell in droves. No one could stand firm under such a dense rain of arrows, not even Suojia.
Can.
Seeing this scene, the Locust thieves finally came to their senses. They all turned around and wanted to escape, but they woke up too late. You must know that all the Locust troops had already entered within 200 steps in front of the city wall.
And this is the optimal range of the Dawn Longbowmen!
"Target 180 steps...shoot!" General Jason's voice roared like a thunderous wave. Accompanied by General Jason's voice, tens of thousands of sharp arrows roared across the sky above the Locust Thieves Army.
, all the Migratory Locust Thieves army only felt a darkness in the sky, and then... behind them, there was a scream that was extremely sad and tragic. When they turned around to look, the Locust Thieves at the rear were covered in a film.
fell down.
Seeing this scene, the Locust Thieves Army hurriedly headed back towards the city wall. No one wanted to accept the rain of arrows. It couldn't be intercepted by force, but... Before they could take a few steps back, General Jason followed.
Following the order, another rain of arrows landed 80 steps in front of the city wall, and scores of thieves fell down unwillingly.
Just like that, the 20,000 locust thief army was like a herd of pigs, being driven forward and backward by General Jason. They kept jumping forward and backward, and the last one could not escape. The entire 20,000 migratory thief army lay dead on the ground.
, the blood dyed the ground in front of the city blood red.
In the distance, where the main camp of the thieves alliance is located, the commander-in-chief looked pale. He never expected that Dawn City would suddenly have longbowmen. This is simply too terrifying. What on earth is going on?
As we all know, thieves do not use shields and wear light leather armor. They usually use close-quarters assassination as their main attack method. Their defense is so weak that it can be ignored. The only long-range attack is the hand crossbow, but you must know that the hand crossbow is small in size.
, the shooting range is short, only 50 steps. In front of the longbowmen, there is nothing they can do except be slaughtered.
Looking at the Dawn City Wall that had been completely dyed red with blood, the commander-in-chief of the Thieves Alliance turned pale. It had only been an hour since the war began, but he had already lost 60,000 troops. The 40,000 slave soldiers in front were okay, but the 20,000 flying
The Locust Thief is the elite among thieves!
The leader of the coalition forces knew that originally...he would not have been defeated so miserably. This failure was due to a miscalculation of the enemy. He did not expect that Dawn City, which had always only had spearmen and Montmar knights, suddenly suddenly
There were so many longbowmen. As for the thieves, they couldn't charge in front of the longbowmen. That would be just asking for death.
"Bang!" He suddenly threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground. The coalition commander knew that the opponent was too cunning. If the opponent had sent out longbowmen from the beginning, the battle situation would not be so dilapidated. What made him depressed was that the opponent clearly had
However, the longbowmen were not used at first. They waited until the locust army appeared before dispatching them. The twenty thousand elite thieves died in vain. This was a command error and the result of someone plotting against him, the commander-in-chief.
In fact, although the thieves don't know how to use shields, they still brought a shield cart this time. The so-called shield cart is a cart with a huge shield row mounted on it. The thieves can hide under the shield.
He moved forward to avoid the rain of arrows, but the shield could only block the arrows, but it could not block the stones. The range of the stones was obviously lower than that of the hand crossbow, so he sent out the Locust Thieves Army. If he had known there were long archers, now
The situation of the battle may be reversed.
As long as the longbowmen are blocked, and then behind the shield cart, use hand crossbows to snipe the slave slingers. After the slingers are eliminated, the longbowmen will not be afraid anymore. As long as they rush up the ramp to the city wall, Dawn Fortress can fight
And down.
But now, although there are still 40,000 thieves left in his hands, the commander of the coalition forces knows that this battle has been a complete failure. You must know that until now, the opponent has still not lost a single person, and the thieves are here.
, but there are only 10,000 shield chariot soldiers, 10,000 secret assault soldiers, and 20,000 regular soldiers left. None of them have the ability to strike from a distance. If you rush over like this, you are not fighting, but committing suicide.
"Damn..." Cursing fiercely, the coalition commander loudly said: "Everyone, pay attention, retreat immediately, the shield car soldiers are behind, ready to intercept the Monma Knight!"
Upon hearing the general's order, all the bandit troops immediately turned around, changed the rear team into the front team, and rushed towards the road they came from. At the same time, 10,000 shield chariot soldiers had already supported the shield chariot in place. They knew that
This time, they may become victims. In order to cover the retreat of the large army, they must be sacrificed.
Looking at the 10,000 trembling shield-carriage soldiers hiding behind the shield-carriage, the eyes of the coalition commander couldn't help but sparkle with crystal tears. He knew... that under the bombardment of the Monma Knights, none of them would be able to leave alive.
But their sacrifice is not in vain, because... they will come back, Dawn City must be captured!
In the past, the thieves army did not dare to attack Dawn City, because it would be tantamount to fighting against
