The victory of the Third Battle of dawn still belongs to dawn, but this time, dawn finally has casualties. It is worth mentioning that the casualties are not in the direction inside the pass, but outside the pass.
From the beginning of the battle, the direction outside the pass was strongly impacted. Relying on 36 six winged Phoenix angels, they could not hold the main force of the other party. They could only push up the sword shield soldiers and slave spear soldiers and completely seal the city wall.
Originally, according to Soga and others, with 10000 crossbows and six winged Phoenix angels, we can definitely guard the wall outside the pass as solid as gold, but everyone ignores that dawn is not the only one with the ability of medium and long-range attack.
Although the six winged Phoenix angels have been fighting very hard, especially the frost dragon. They haven't rested all night, but the enemy is too powerful. The 2000 experts in the direction inside the pass are just ordinary soldiers outside the pass. They are still unable to resist the strong impact of the enemy.
Fortunately, even if the sword and shield soldiers came up and used the crossbow to support the six winged Phoenix angels, but... When the enemies threw out their daggers, the six winged Phoenix angels suddenly realized that although these guys didn't have a crossbow, they had the unique skill of throwing knives. Every enemy could, and the effective range was 50 meters!
In this way, the casualties of the dawn army appeared. Basically, one life for another. The dawn army and the enemy consumed a lot. Until dawn, the whole garrison outside the dawn pass has been reduced from 20000 troops to 4000 troops, with more than 16000 casualties.
Trembling all over, Soga angrily looked at the 100 meter long wall that had been completely stained with blood. He didn't expect, really didn't expect, that the enemy should be so powerful and cause so much damage to the dawn, which was unacceptable to Soga.
Although the enemy didn't beg well and left more than 30000 bodies, it was still unacceptable to Soga. Looking at the confused sky outside the pass under the mist, Soga tightly squeezed his fist. One day, he will recover all his debts!
All the results were quickly counted. 16000 soldiers were sacrificed outside the pass, but more than 33000 enemies were killed. Basically, one for two, while no one was damaged in the pass. 100000 enemies were killed overnight, basically killing the enemy in the pass.
However, Soga knew that the battle was not over. He learned from the Tamar that 400000 troops were gathering towards the dawn in the direction of Ostu. It was obvious that Kalu would not admit defeat. Once he admitted defeat, his prestige would be lost in the border area. In any case, he must win the war.
While thinking, Soga turned around and rushed to the training ground of the six winged Phoenix angels. The battle last night was really too fierce. They were facing enemies much stronger than them. Soga didn't understand how they insisted.
After entering the training ground, looking around, all the six winged Phoenix angels sat on the ground tired and looked haggard. Although their mental strength, physical strength and fighting spirit have been restored with drugs, there is no medicine for their psychological fatigue.
When she came to Duomei, Soga said with concern: "how beautiful is it? The first world war last night must have been very hard? "
"En......" he nodded weakly, and his beautiful face showed a look of fear: "the enemy is really too strong. It's unbelievable. Even the most ordinary enemy is more powerful than the 2000 enemy experts in the pass. As for the elite soldiers outside the pass, it's even more frightening. In fact, if it wasn't for the effect of fire phoenix suit, We may not be able to take a knife. "
"This..." hearing how beautiful it was, Soga couldn't help showing a look of horror. If the enemy outside the pass was really so strong, the dawn would be dangerous. The light was consumed, which was enough to consume the dawn army.
Of course, Suoga can also mobilize 5000 spearmen to guard outside the pass, but if he does, dawn may fall on the spot. Once the enemy's experts cross the city wall, they will inevitably pose a threat to the arrow array of dawn. Once the city wall cannot be defended, the dawn will be over. It is meaningless for light to guard the direction outside the pass.
While thinking, Soga frowned more and more tightly. He thought for a long time. With his current power, Soga knew that he could not hold it at all. Now it seems that he can only hope to be coupled with the 1000 demons!
Thinking of this, Soga dared not neglect it for a moment. He got up and left the training ground and rushed to the alchemy laboratory in the city master's house. Now he can only rely on the magic couple!
According to the notes, Soga understood the ability of these magic couplings. In fact, this is not a real magic coupling, but something that should be classified as a mechanism.
In fact, these so-called magic couplings use the surrounding arrangement to launch the mechanical body, and use the induction forms of energy induction, heat induction and life induction to detect the enemy. Once there are energy, heat and living objects within the detection range, these magic couplings will automatically operate, extract the power of magic crystals in the body and attack the enemy! Even if their master enters the attack range, it is the same. In fact, they have no consciousness and wisdom.
Of course, this does not mean that the magic coupling does not exist. In fact, the magic coupling absolutely exists, but... What Soga gets is definitely not the magic coupling, but a mechanical body.
Just after the war, Soga knew that there must be a few days' interval. If the magic coupling cannot be properly placed in these days, a large number of soldiers will be lost again when the next battle begins.
While thinking, Soga dared not neglect, mobilized the strength of the whole city and began to transform the outer wall. A large number of stones were mined and transported to the direction of the wall outside the pass. According to the records in the notes, Soga laid induction belts and established induction fields. At the same time, Soga also selected 1000 smart slave soldiers who were specially responsible for maintaining these magic couples, There are three shifts every day. Each person only needs to watch for hours and can go to rest.
Although the amount of work is large, there is nothing else in the dawn, that is, there are many people. After working day and night for a week, the 100m wall outside the pass is finally arranged. Looking at the magnificent wall, Soga nodded with satisfaction. This time, he is no longer afraid that someone will break the wall.
After the transformation, the height of the city wall has reached 20 meters and is as wide as a hill. Starting from two meters away from the city wall, there is a magic coupling that can release violent fireballs on each floor. There are nine floors in total, 100 on each floor. Under the intensive fire, even Soga will be blasted into slag in an instant.
However, such arrangements are not finished. At the top of the wall, there are one hundred speed harvesters. These guys are very fast, holding two knives, and invulnerability. Even if they are damaged, soja can also repair immediately. It's not difficult. This is a mechanical, not a magic coupling.
Looking from the direction outside the pass, the 20 meter high wall is full of dark holes, row by row, row by row, which makes people feel terrible.
The front of the city wall, within 200 meters, is paved with rocks, smooth as a mirror. Even the mountain walls on both sides are stacked with wide and thick stone slabs, forming a huge square 100 meters wide and 200 meters long! This square is exactly the induction setting of all magic couplers. Once an enemy enters the square, 900 magic couplers that can release violent fireballs will move and attack the enemy. Basically, unless the master agrees, otherwise, the paladin can't cross this area.
Although the city wall has been so stable, Soga still dare not take it lightly. He reorganized a 10000 person sword and shield soldier and stationed here for a long time. Each sword and shield soldier has been assigned a crossbow. In this way, even if the enemy breaks through the magic coupling zone, it is impossible to capture dawn immediately and give the dawn army enough time to deploy troops.
As Soga guessed, on the third night after the installation of the magic coupling position, the enemy rushed to both sides again and attacked the dawn at the same time. However, this time, Soga was very well prepared. In the face of the enemy, the whole dawn city was full of confidence.
First of all, Soga dispatched the six winged Phoenix angel and the frost dragon to the direction of the wall in the pass. While the enemy rushed over, he jumped down from the wall to intercept the enemy's vanguard army and intercepted them under the wall.
Secondly, 5000 spearmen still stay under the wall of the pass and wait for dispatch at any time. Once an enemy breaks through the wall, they will immediately surround and catch the enemy alive. When it comes to attack, they may not succeed, but any expert will be caught alive in front of their defense circle.
However, this time, it is obvious that the enemy does not take the outside of the pass as the main attack point. This is just a check. The enemy's main attack point is still the wall outside the pass. The great harvest of the last battle has made the enemy taste the sweetness. This time, he is ready to carry out another battle according to the last battle.
Although the enemy's damage is more than twice that of the dawn army, you know, the dawn army has only 100000 soldiers in total. Moreover, you know, the last time they died, they were junior soldiers of relatively low level. On the contrary, not many real generals died. All enemies have confidence. If the main force goes to war, it is absolutely not a problem to change one for another. In this way, As long as you pay 100000 lives at most, you can get dawn city. It's very cost-effective.
As the only export of the Holy Light Empire to the six countries, its strategic significance and commercial value are immeasurable. As long as you own this city, it is an astronomical number to levy taxes on kings and businessmen alone. Moreover... Dawn city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once you have such a low foundation, you will not be afraid to be an enemy of an empire, After all... The wall outside the pass is only 100 meters. No matter how many troops you have, only a few thousand people can attack at the same time.
Once we have the dawn City, as long as we have a good relationship with the Holy Light Empire, everything next is like a dream. We can attack whoever we are willing to attack. As thieves with a private plunder license, with such a base, we are bound to develop into a world-class thief alliance.
Not to mention the battle in the direction inside the pass, on the other side, in the mountain channel outside the pass, a total of 100000 powerful legions are marching in the direction of dawn along the valley channel across the factory. Those who come here today are experts from high school. In the recent war, they will win the dawn completely regardless of all losses. As long as they win the dawn, most of the sacrifice is worth it.
Under the cover of night, the thieves finally saw the dawn of the city wall and looked at the magnificent city wall. For a time, all the thieves subconsciously stopped and looked up.
How high is 20 meters? I'm afraid it's difficult for ordinary people to have a concept. If one floor is three meters high, then 20 meters is the height of seven floors. This is not a small distance! Unless there is a ladder, it is difficult to get up.
What makes the thieves feel helpless is that the wall has no slope. It is as steep as a cliff. It is absolutely 90 degrees vertical. Their dream of rushing up along the wall is broken in an instant.
As long as there is a slope, even 75 degrees, the thieves are confident to rush up, but... How do you want them to rush in the face of the steep 90 degree wall? If you really want to rush, you'll either run a few steps and fall down, or hit the wall directly.
Under the color, all the thieves looked at the surrounding environment. The ground in front of the muddy wall in the past was now paved with flat square stones to form a rectangular square, 100 meters wide and 200 meters long. On both sides of the square, close to the mountain, high walls were built. It seemed that this was still a battlefield. It was clearly a square.
"Cut..." with a low scold, the commander-in-chief of the coalition army suddenly waved his hand and said loudly: "hook the rope, throw the rope for me. Even if there is no slope, we can climb up along the rope!"
Hearing the command of the commander in chief of the coalition forces, hundreds of soldiers quickly ran out with long ropes in their hands and jumped towards the dawn wall. As long as they buckle their claws on the top of the wall, they can climb up along the rope.
"Creak... Creak... Creak..." just as the rope soldiers ran to the square paved with bluestone, a series of creaks rang out from the wall of the city wall. The next moment... Countless red fireballs shot out of the dark holes in the city wall like lightning, and instantly hit hundreds of rope soldiers.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! " In the violent roar, even a scream was too late to send out, and hundreds of rope soldiers were completely blown into powder in the violent explosion.
Looking at the big square full of fire, all the thieves were stunned for a moment. What's this? There were hundreds of attacks just now. Did... When the reinforcements of dawn arrived, hundreds of fire mages came down?
Everyone knows that the wall with a length of only 100 meters can be described as solid as gold if it is guarded by 100 fire mages. It can't be broken at all. No one can resist hundreds of fireballs.
But... Things are not absolute. What if there are hundreds of mages? Your energy is always exhausted. As long as you are willing to pay the price, before long, these mages will run out of mana, which is no different from an ordinary person.
Thinking, the commander-in-chief of the coalition army immediately issued an order. Driven by the bandit army, the slave soldiers were pushed into the death zone one after another. All the soldiers entering the square were bombarded by fierce fireballs without exception, and there was no residue left.
As judged by the commander in chief of the coalition army, after sending countless slave soldiers continuously, 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 army couldn't help laughing excitedly. He knew that the magic of those mages was finally exhausted!
With a sudden wave of his hand, a large number of slave soldiers rushed towards the city wall and ran all the way. No fireball came out of the city wall. Seeing this scene, the commander-in-chief of the coalition army was relieved. With a wave of his hand, he led the army and officially entered the square.
Standing on the high wall, Soga looked darkly at the enemy troops gradually converging into the square. Everything he had just arranged was intentional. The 100 magic couplers at the bottom were really full of magic. At the moment... The staff are changing magic crystals. It won't be long before they can resume their firepower.
Of course, although the magic of the first floor is exhausted, don't forget that there are nine floors on the whole city wall. The top floor doesn't count, but the other eight floors can fire. The reason why it hasn't been launched now is that Soga just doesn't want to waste fire. It will get better results when the enemy starts attacking after entering the square.
Soon, the battle began. The archers of dawn city appeared at the top of the city wall one after another. The sparse arrow rain sprinkled down on the enemy below. Seeing this scene, the enemy immediately entered a combat state. Everyone knows that we must capture the top of the city wall before the mages recover their energy. Otherwise, once they are allowed to bombard it with violent fireballs, Then the result is not good.
For a time, all the thieves rushed into the square, and the thieves in front threw out their rope claws. As long as the rope claws were fixed on the wall, the thief experts could run up along the rope and quickly rush to the top of the wall. In this way, even if they could not attack dawn City, they could change their lives, and dawn city would fall.
Looking at the ferocious enemy below, Soga smiled cruelly and said in a low voice, "well, almost enough. Wait. When they rush to the wall, we will lose."
Hearing Soga's words, general Jason nodded with admiration. If he waited a little longer, there would be more enemies entering the square, but in the dawn, there must be sacrifices. Soga's principle is that he would rather kill fewer enemies than lose his own people, which is the same as general Jason's idea.
"Attack!" Following general Jason's majestic order, at the next moment... In a series of creaks, 900 firing holes distributed on the city wall opened at the same time, and then... 900 red and violent fireballs roared out and scattered down the square 100 meters wide and 200 meters long.
