Chapter 268: The war has just begun, boys~
Piao Tianwen There is no doubt that these powerful invaders have unique intelligence channels. Less than a day after Li Nana left the fortress, two legions with a population of nearly 50,000 were at the city. This connection is really amazing.
In fact, the continuous failure of the Liberty Alliance in the previous month was not just because the quality of ordinary soldiers was too far apart. From a strategic perspective, the Liberty Alliance was repeatedly controlled by others and played with and applauded.
However, this situation has changed a little now.
The commander of the Second Legion of the Holy Empire was quite puzzled by the temporary decision made by Li Nana, the commander of the Three Yuan Fortress.
According to the information, although Li Nana has quite a skilled command skills, as a woman, especially a young woman, her decisiveness is not enough, and it is difficult to make decisive choices as soon as possible when the situation is in a dilemma.
But now she resolutely took most of the troops in the fortress to attack the Guards! Although from a strategic perspective, this is the best choice at present, if you look at it from Li Nana's perspective, whether you are personally facing the terror of the Guards and the Holy High Priest, or exposing the fortress with empty forces directly to the Holy Emperor** regiment, it is a very risky decision.
With the usual performance of the Free Alliance people, they are likely to be really like ostrich turtles, defending in the fortress until Shengzhou City falls, the Guards fall and fight with the two major legions to make the city fall, and then they show a hint of regret.
Things were abnormal and I had to be careful. As a well-known conservative among the Holy Emperors, Paul, the commander of the Second Legion, did not recommend launching a strong attack at this moment.
But Charlie, the commander of the Third Legion who fought side by side with him, laughed at him for being timid and cowardly.
"It's obviously just an empty city strategy put forward by the Free Alliance. If you miss such a rare fighter plane, it will be a shame that will bring shame to future generations!"
The two legion commanders had different opinions, and although Paul had a deeper qualification, it was really unreasonable to make the entire army stand on the spot on the grounds that things were abnormal. After all, there was only about half of the time limit for breaking the free city set by His Majesty. In desperation, Paul had to change his opinion.
"With several times the strength of the troops, better quality of the soldiers... Although the opponent shrank and defended, we also have a higher chance of winning."
With this inspiration for myself in my heart, Paul ordered the Second Legion to officially sound the horn of the siege.
To be honest, the Free Alliance people have been completely hiding from the beginning, which is indeed beyond Paul's expectations. In general, the defenders rely on their advantages of being close to the stronghold and convenient supply, and frequently go out of the city to fight the opponent in the wild. Unless they really have no ammunition and food, they will not act in such a negative defensive posture and rely on the city wall to defend. Because that means giving up all areas outside the fortress.
As long as the Holy Empire cuts off supplies or digs out water sources, the people in the fortress will be trapped to death.
However, the current situation is that the Holy Emperor** regiment needs to quickly break through the fortress, and cannot really wait until the Guards and Li Nana's third regiment decide the outcome. Otherwise, even if the Guards victory, the head coaches of these two legions will be ridiculed.
The Second Legion took the lead, and a row of twenty super-heavy catapults threw heavy boulders one by one, trying to smash the thick city walls of the fortress. Each of these super-heavy catapults used reinforced components projected by advanced dream builders, and their performance was far above that of ordinary craftsmen. The maximum range was close to kilometers, and it could launch a fatal attack at a very long distance.
However, when these dark cloud-like huge rocks fell on the city wall, after a dull sound like thunder, at most a splash of dust and a few grains of gravel were splashed. The thick and neat city wall still stood firm!
Although the dream components are used on the catapult cart, the walls of the Three-Yuan Fortress are not the product of the real plane!
Paul frowned and was about to order his men to replace the more powerful explosion bomb. However, at this time, he saw a huge rock flying from the fortress, woven into a dense net like dark clouds in the sky... It was the catapult in the fortress, with a range of equally far, but its accuracy was above his own side!
After a few breaths, the huge rock landed one after another. Although a dream builder built fortifications in time to resist, seven or eight catapults were still destroyed.
Paul sighed, knowing that the industrial strength and dream builder abilities of the Free Alliance are above the Holy Empire, and it seems that there is no chance of winning by simply assembling equipment...
"Then let the priests prepare for action. The special forces of the Three Yuan Fortress have been transferred, and there should be not many dream builders in the fortress."
At the same time, not far away from him, Charlie, the commander of the Third Legion, made the same judgment, sending his own dream builders and priests to join the Second Legion, trying to use the power of dreams to crush the fortress's arms.
Since the most powerful priests and dream builders have gathered in the Guards, the power that Charlie and Paul can call is limited to the peak of advanced dream builders at most. However, this is enough for them to attract huge meteorites from the sky and crash into the three-yuan fortress on the ground.
The huge meteorite fell from the sky with a coat of flames, and it seemed unstoppable. No matter how strong the city wall of the Sanyuan Fortress was, it could not withstand the collision of meteorites.
Paul and Charlie, through the telescope, could clearly see some of the defenders on the city wall, and they had already expressed their horror expressions.
If General Patton's special forces are still there, there are a thousand ways to smash the meteorites in the air. However, at this moment... the power in the fortress is indeed not enough to deal with such a scene!
Boom!
Finally, under the anticipation of countless people, the meteorite accurately hit the outer wall of the fortress with guidance from the priests. The seemingly solid and unshakable city wall collapsed in an instant!
"good!"
The two legion commanders cheered in unison. Although the power of the priest and the dream builders were severely consumed after such a bombardment, the strongest exterior wall of the Three Yuan Fortress was destroyed, and the overall situation was decided no matter how you look at it.
Even Paul felt that he had been too cautious before... No matter how he designed a conspiracy, he would never give up the exterior wall of the fortress. It can be seen that there was really insufficient power in the fortress at this time.
As a very experienced general in the army, he was deceived by the opponent's empty city plan. While Paul sighed, he also decided to make up for his mistakes on the battlefield.
So the Second Legion, as the vanguard army, took the lead and rushed towards the incomplete wall of the Sanyuan Fortress.
Along the way, we naturally encountered a resolute counterattack in the fortress. From the arrow tower behind the city wall, feathered arrows were poured down like heavy rain. Although the Holy Legion held up heavy shields, people in the team still screamed and fell down from time to time, and their lives were taken by sharp arrows that came from the gap in the shield.
Even in the rain of arrows, there will be a small number of powerful armor-piercing arrows that do not belong to the real plane, which can penetrate the shield and injure the soldiers behind.
The casualties were really not low, but the soldiers of the Holy Empire ignored everything ahead, took firm steps, approaching the fortress bit by bit, ready to enter and seize it.
This army that completely regards death as vague, even the most elite troops of the Free Alliance cannot compare with it. Although the shooters in the Arrow Tower hid in a safe place and only shot arrows, a hint of fear arose in their hearts at this time.
Are those on the other side really humans?
Through special devices in the fortress, archers can emit arrow rains ten times that of normal level. Under such a intensive long-range offensive attack, no force can block it, but...
Just as the archers began to panic, the Holy Legion's catapult once again opened fire. At the same time, a large rain of fire fell from the sky, and the targets all aimed at the fortress's arrow tower!
This time, the dream builder in the fortress finally began to take action, the invisible shield, the rock giant suddenly appeared, and various twisted force fields...most of the attacks were stopped from it, but the arrow tower was still hit by a devastating blow.
The troops are at an absolute disadvantage. No matter how strong the fortress is, it will still be dismantled by the opponent little by little.
And when the Arrow Tower has been greatly reduced, it is no longer possible to limit the progress of the Holy Legion.
Especially when the heavy soldiers walked to the ruins of the city wall, the soldiers guarding behind the city wall were ready to give the other party a thunder strike while the other party was exhausted from traveling a long distance, they suddenly realized...
More than 70% of the heavy soldiers all over the mountains were projected by the opponent's priests! Because the fortress was seriously insufficient and the commander did not prepare in advance, the siege troops were always covered with the dream projection of the dream builder. What the soldiers of the Free Alliance saw were not the real scenes on the battlefield at all!
The seemingly serious casualties are not serious, but the seemingly physically exhausted soldiers of the Holy Empire are actually very fierce and in good condition!
"kill!"
Accompanied by roars, the soldiers of the Holy Empire wearing golden armor rushed into the fortress with unstoppable momentum!
The soldiers blocking the front line were almost destroyed at once, and were killed in an instant!
After seeing the feedback from the front line through the telescope and special devices in time, the Legion Commander Paul couldn't help but smile: "Ha, it turned out to be the group of defeated soldiers..."
The soldiers of the Free Alliance who are now killed to cry and cry for their parents are the remaining soldiers who were previously defeated by Paul. The Three Yuan Fortress is indeed empty, and even these people have been transferred to the front line.
Charlie around him was a little angry, feeling that Paul had taken the credit for this victory.
But no matter what, victory is already right in front of you...
