The victory of Shuguang's third battle still belonged to Shuguang, but this time, Shuguang finally suffered casualties. It is worth mentioning that the casualties occurred not from the direction inside the pass, but from the direction outside the pass.
From the very beginning of the battle, there was a powerful attack in the direction outside the pass. The thirty-six six-winged phoenix angels alone were completely unable to hold back the opponent's main force. As a result, they could only use swords, shields, and slaves with spears.
The soldiers pushed forward and completely sealed the city wall.
Originally, in the opinion of Suojia and others, ten thousand crossbows guarding the pass, coupled with the six-winged phoenix angels, could definitely guard the city wall outside the pass impregnably. However, everyone ignored it. Shuguang was not the only one with mid-range and long-range capabilities.
The ability to strike.
Although the six-winged phoenix angels have been fighting very hard, especially the frost dragon, which did not rest all night, the enemy is too powerful. The 2,000 masters in the direction of the pass are just ordinary soldiers in the direction of the outside.
That's it, even though I tried my best to resist, I still couldn't stop the enemy's powerful impact.
Fortunately, the sword and shield soldiers came forward and used hand crossbows to support the six-winged phoenix angels. However... when the enemies threw out the daggers in their hands, the six-winged phoenix angels suddenly realized that although these guys
There is no hand crossbow, but it does have the skill of throwing knives. Every enemy can do it, and the effective range is still 50 meters!
In this way, the casualties of the Shuguang Army appeared. Basically, one life was exchanged for one life. Both the Shuguang Army and the enemy were exhausted. They persisted until dawn. The entire garrison outside the Shuguang Pass had gone from 20,000 to 20,000.
The army was reduced to 4,000 troops, with more than 16,000 casualties.
Trembling all over, Suojia looked angrily at the hundred-meter-long city wall that was completely stained red with blood. He didn't expect, really didn't expect, that the enemy would be so tyrannical and cause so much damage to Shuguang.
, this is simply unacceptable to Suojia.
Although the enemy did not seek mercy and left more than 30,000 corpses, in Suojia's view, this was still unacceptable. Looking at the confused sky outside the pass under the mist, Suojia clenched his fists tightly.
One day, he will recover all his debts!
All the results of the battle were quickly tallied up. 16,000 soldiers were sacrificed outside the pass, but more than 33,000 enemies were killed. Basically, one for two, while no one was lost inside the pass. Overnight,
Killing 100,000 enemies, basically completely destroying the arrogance of the enemy forces in the pass.
However, Suojia knew that the battle did not end here. He learned from Tan Ma that there were once again an army of 400,000 in the direction of Osdu, gathering in the direction of dawn. Obviously, Karu would not admit defeat.
Once he admits defeat, his prestige in the border areas will be lost. No matter what, he must win the war.
While thinking, Suojia turned around and rushed towards the training ground of the Six-winged Phoenix Angels. The battle last night was really brutal. What they faced were enemies that were far more powerful than them. Suojia
I don't even understand how they persisted.
Entering the training ground, looking around, all the Seraphim angels were sitting on the ground tiredly, with haggard expressions on their faces. Although their mental strength, physical strength, and fighting spirit had all been restored with medicine, their mental health was still there.
Fatigue, but there is no cure.
Walking to Duomei's side, Suojia asked with concern: "How is it, Duomei? The battle last night must have been very hard, right?"
"Well..." He nodded weakly, with a look of fear on Duomei's face: "The enemy is really too strong, unbelievably strong. Even the most common enemy is stronger than the 2,000 people in the pass.
The enemy's masters are powerful, and the slightly more powerful elite soldiers outside the customs are even more terrifying. In fact, if the effect of the fire phoenix suit had not been activated, we might not even be able to take a single blow."
"This..." After hearing Duomei's words, Suojia couldn't help but show a look of horror. If the enemies outside the pass are really that strong, then Shuguang will be in danger. Just through consumption, it is enough to destroy Shuguang's army.
All used up.
Of course, Suojia can also mobilize 5,000 spearmen to guard outside the pass, but if he really does that, Shuguang may fall on the spot. Once the enemy's masters climb over the city wall, they will definitely pose a threat to Shuguang's arrow formation. Once the city wall cannot be defended,
If you don't stay, then the dawn will be over. It's meaningless just to keep the direction outside the pass.
While thinking, Suojia frowned more and more. After thinking for a long time, Suojia knew that with the current power, it was impossible to hold on. Now it seems that the only hope is to couple with those thousand demons!
Thinking of this, Suojia didn't dare to neglect for a moment, got up and left the training ground, rushing towards the alchemy laboratory in the city lord's palace. Now the only thing he can rely on is the magic couple!
According to the records in the notes, Suojia understood the abilities of these magic couples. In fact, these were not real magic couples, but should be classified as mechanisms.
In fact, these so-called magic couplings are mechanical bodies activated by using the surrounding layout. They use energy induction, heat induction, life induction and other induction forms to detect enemies. Once there is energy, heat, and life within the detection range,
Objects, these magic couplings will automatically operate, extract the power of the magic crystals in the body, and launch attacks on the enemy! Even if their masters enter the attack range, it will be the same. In fact, they have no consciousness and no intelligence.
Of course, this does not mean that magic couplings do not exist. In fact, magic couplings definitely exist, but... what Suojia obtained is definitely not magic couplings, but should be mechanical bodies.
Just after the war, Suojia knew that there would be a few days of intermission. If the magic coupling could not be properly placed during these few days, a large number of soldiers would be lost again when the next battle begins.
While thinking, Suojia did not dare to neglect, mobilized the power of the whole city, and began to transform the outer city wall. A large amount of stone was mined and transported to the direction of the city wall outside the pass. According to the records in the notes, induction belts were laid.
While establishing the induction field, Suojia also selected 1,000 smart slave soldiers, who were responsible for maintaining these magic couples. They worked three shifts a day, and each person only needed to guard them for a few hours before going to rest.
Although the amount of the project is large, Shuguang has nothing else but a large number of people. After working day and night for a week, the 100-meter city wall outside the pass was finally completed. Looking at the magnificent city wall, Suojia nodded with satisfaction.
For once, he was no longer afraid that someone would break through the city wall.
After the transformation, the height of the city wall reached 20 meters, and it was as wide and thick as a hill. Starting from the two meters of the city wall, a magic couple that can release violent fireballs was placed on each floor. There were nine floors in total, and each floor
One hundred of them, under intensive firepower, even Suojia would be blown to pieces in an instant.
However, this arrangement is not complete. On the top of the city wall, there are one hundred speed reapers. These guys are extremely fast, holding double knives, and are invulnerable. Even if they are damaged, Suojia can
Repair it immediately, it's not difficult, this is a machine, not a magic coupling.
Looking from the direction outside the pass, the 20-meter-high city wall is covered with black holes, rows and rows, which makes people feel scary just looking at them.
In front of the city wall, within 200 meters, it is entirely paved with rocks, as smooth as a mirror. Even the mountain walls on both sides are piled up with thick stone slabs, forming a huge square 100 meters wide and 200 meters long.
!And this square is the induction setting of all magic couplings. Once an enemy enters the square, 900 magic couplings that can release violent fireballs will move and attack the enemies. Basically, unless the owner agrees, otherwise,
No paladin can even think of crossing this zone.
Although the city wall was already so stable, Suojia still did not dare to take it lightly. He reorganized a force of ten thousand sword and shield soldiers and stationed them here for a long time. Each sword and shield soldier was assigned a hand crossbow. In this way
As a result, even if the enemy breaks through the magic coupling zone, they will not be able to capture Dawn immediately, giving the Dawn Army ample time to mobilize its troops.
(Your one click warms my entire coding life. Log in to read literature together and support genuine literature.) Just as Suojia guessed, late at night on the third day after the magic coupling position was installed, the enemy once again rushed to both sides and attacked at the same time.
Dawn launched an attack, but this time, Suojia was very well prepared. Facing the enemy, the entire Dawn City was full of confidence.
First, Suojia dispatched the six-winged phoenix angel and the frost dragon to the direction of the city wall inside the pass. When the enemy rushed over, he jumped down from the city wall, intercepted the enemy's vanguard, and intercepted them under the city wall.
Secondly, 5,000 spearmen are still stationed under the city wall in the pass, waiting for deployment at any time. Once an enemy breaks through to the city wall, they will immediately surround them and capture the enemy alive. When it comes to attacking, they may not be able to do it, but in their defense
In front of the circle, any master will be captured alive.
But this time, the enemy obviously does not use the outside of the pass as the main attack point. It only serves as a diversion. The enemy's main attack point is still the city wall outside the pass. The huge gains from the last battle have given the enemy a taste of the sweetness. This time, they are going to take the opportunity to attack.
Let’s fight again based on the last battle.
Although the enemy's damage was more than double that of the Shuguang Army, you must know that the Shuguang Army only has a total of 100,000 people, and you must know that those who died last time were all low-level soldiers, while the real generals died.
Not much. All the enemies are confident. If the main force goes out to fight, it is definitely not a problem to replace them one by one. In this way, at most one hundred thousand lives can be exchanged for Shuguang City. This is a great deal.
As the only exit from the Holy Light Empire to the six countries, the strategic significance and commercial value here are simply immeasurable. As long as you own this city, just collecting taxes from the king's merchants is already an astronomical figure, and...
Shuguang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once you have such a low base, you will not be afraid even if you are an enemy of an empire. After all... the city wall outside the pass is only 100 meters long. No matter how many armies you have, only one can attack at the same time.
Just a few thousand people.
However... there are no absolutes, so what if there are hundreds of mages? There will always be a moment when your energy is exhausted. As long as you are willing to pay the price, it won't be long before these mages will run out of mana, and they will be no different from ordinary people.
.
After thinking about it, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces immediately issued an order. Driven by the bandit army, the slave soldiers were pushed into the death zone one after another. All the soldiers who entered the square were bombarded by violent fireballs without exception.
What's left.
Just as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces judged, after continuously sending countless slave soldiers, finally...the slave soldiers who stepped on the edge of the square were no longer attacked. Seeing this scene, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces couldn't help laughing excitedly. He knew
, the magic power of those mages was finally exhausted!
With a sudden wave of his hand, a large number of slave soldiers rushed towards the city wall, running all the way. No more fireballs shot out from the city wall. Seeing this scene, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was relieved and waved his hand.
, led the army and officially entered the square.
Standing on the high city wall, Suojia looked eerily at the large enemy troops that gradually merged into the square. Everything that happened just now was deliberately arranged by him. The hundred magic couples at the bottom were indeed exhausted of their magic power.
, at this moment... the staff are replacing the magic crystal. It won't be long before they can restore the firepower.
Of course, although the magic power on the first floor is exhausted, don't forget that there are nine floors on the entire city wall, not counting the top floor. The other eight floors can all be opened. The reason why it is not activated now is
Suojia just didn't want to waste firepower. He would get better results after all the enemies entered the square before starting to attack.
Soon, the battle began. Archers from Dawn City appeared on the top of the city wall one after another, and sparse arrows rained down on the enemies below. Seeing this scene, the enemy troops immediately entered a fighting state. Everyone knew that they must
