The fighting style of the defenders of Mihe City can be said to be tenacious. Under the leadership of the officers, no matter how fierce the battle at the top of the city was, no matter how suppressed they were, the soldiers still rushed to the combat posts one after another.
The artillery crew members on the fort were wiped out by the siege artillery over and over again. Wave after wave of soldiers rushed up to take over the artillery again and continued to fight until the fort was destroyed together; the same was true for the archers , Even if they suffered heavy losses in the confrontation with the elves, when the soldiers lined up on the city wall, their formation was still so complete. Soldiers were constantly shot to death by arrows, and even fell from the top of the city and fell into meatloaf. However, every time a person was lost on the shooting front, a new soldier would be added immediately behind.
But this still couldn't stop Dane's legion from approaching the city wall step by step.
As Heka Tim thought in his heart, he really didn't know how else he could fight this battle.
It stands to reason that he has already made plans to strictly guard against death. The city walls have been reinforced, the soldiers have also practiced the tactics of defending the city, the archers are well prepared with arrows, and specially mobilized as much artillery as possible from the rear and installed turrets. When he knew that Dane was coming, he also specially mobilized the morale of the soldiers in the city to encourage all the soldiers to be mentally prepared to defend the city.
It stands to reason that all the preparations before the war have been done almost at their best. At least, greeting card Tim himself didn't know what else he could do.
He never expected that he would be able to defeat Dyne in Mihe City, even though the strength of the two sides was actually about the same, and even his own side had an advantage. However, in some past battles, Dane's brilliant record and his well-trained troops with terrifying overall combat strength left him quite a deep impression. But he felt that even if he couldn't defeat Dane in Mihe City, how could he hold back for a while with his completely defensive attitude, a plan that didn't leave any openings for Dane, and a completely defensive posture?
Looking at the current posture, if the previous artillery confrontation is not counted, it seems that this is the first time that Dane launched a full-scale siege, and he seems to be unable to defend the city gate and the city wall?
This is scary!
He was absent-minded for a while, and during this time, Dane's army had already advanced under the city.
The first to go into battle are rows of siege ladders.
These so-called siege ladders are not simply extended ladders. To use that kind of thing to attack a city is the murder of a soldier's life. Perhaps, if the cannon fodder troops were pulled out, Dane might have someone take a long ladder up, but his elite troops would not be so hasty.
These siege ladders are actually relatively sophisticated in structure. Below the ladder is a square platform with wheels and ground stakes. The four wheels are convenient for the soldiers to save energy when carrying the ladder forward, and the nails are nailed into the ground by the soldiers with hammers after they are close to the city wall, so as to prevent them from climbing. When on the ladder, the enemy used a long hook or something to push the ladder down.
Also, the ladder itself is a fairly solid structure. When the ladder is raised and carried next to the city wall, it is more like a combination of a ladder and a staircase. If the soldiers clinging to it do not need to support them with their hands, it is not impossible, although there will be some Not very stable, but at least the hands can be freed.
At this moment, the soldiers attacking the city did just that.
On several ladders, the warriors walking in the front are all white wolf guards. Although these soldiers in heavy armor moved slowly and could not climb up the ladder quickly, they were well armored, with heavy shields on their heads, and were able to defend against many blows from above the city wall. And following the white wolf guards are a small number of pure swordsmen. These warriors with a big sword upside down and a ladder with one hand, if they rush to the top of the city, it will be a terrible nightmare for the enemy .
It's just that this wave of offensive was blocked in the end.
The troops defending the city were well-prepared. When only a few ladders were first mounted on the city wall, the rolling stones and logs fell down, causing the soldiers who attacked the city wall to suffer a lot of casualties. After rushing several times, they didn't rush to the top of the city.
However, when more ladders entered the attacking position, and even the siege towers behind had rushed up, the situation became different.
The morale of Dane's army was high, and even though they suffered some setbacks, they did not stop attacking. The soldiers who kept rushing up continued to attack along the ladder. And when the number of ladders attached to the city wall increases, it will be very difficult to continue to maintain a strong pressure on each ladder.
Finally, a few soldiers rushed to the city wall!
The defensive measures of the defenders of Mihe City are still quite in place. They already had such psychological expectations. When Dane's soldiers charged up the city wall, several soldiers immediately surrounded them. Fighting desperately, Dane's soldiers who rushed to the top of the wall were all killed on the spot.
But this is still only a drop in the bucket.
There are gaps in the city wall, and soldiers continue to rush to the top of the city. The rangers in the siege towers at the rear also aimed their arrows at the enemies who prevented their soldiers from ascending the city.
On the city wall, a very tragic fight was going on. The pressure on the city defenders is increasing, and their resistance is becoming more and more tenacious.
However, everything is just the beginning. The key to the attack comes from the entry of two other big killers!
The three ramming vehicles had already arrived under the city gate. The majestic warrior swung his battering hammer and began to slam the city gate violently. And because the battle on the city wall was too fierce, it was difficult for the defenders of Mihe City to mobilize too much force to deal with these ramming vehicles.
In addition, the only three siege towers that did not carry ranger shooters and only rushed forward with no load, also arrived under the city wall!
Under the three siege towers, there are quite a few soldiers on standby. When the siege tower was close to the city wall, they entered the tower one after another and began to climb up.
A moment later, the gate valves on the top of these siege towers connected to the city wall were opened. The wooden hanging door was lowered and it happened to be placed on the city wall. A large number of soldiers rushed out of the tower and rushed towards the enemy one after another.
This kind of city climbing is safer than the ladder, and the troops deployed are more abundant!
The defenders of Mihe City are under tremendous pressure!
Heka Tim, who is still sober, dispatched a large number of soldiers to guard the position of the siege tower. At the position where the three siege towers are located, a large number of soldiers crowded on the narrow top of the city, almost unable to use their weapons. The most primitive spirit of blood and courage filled the top of the city, and the war entered the most tragic state under.
It is still Dane's troops that have the upper hand.
His soldiers, in terms of the quality of the soldiers, are stunned to be much better than the opponent! Moreover, the heavy armor of the white wolf guard who rushed forward was the most difficult thing for the enemy to deal with in hand-to-hand combat.
The siege tower closest to the city wall was the first to win the battle after a tough battle! They successfully rushed up almost half of the squadron's soldiers, and completely occupied a small section of the city wall at the cost of certain casualties. Afterwards, a large number of soldiers began to rush upwards from the siege tower, and sword dancers in light armor climbed onto the city wall one by one, brandished their double knives, and began to slash towards other positions on the two sections of the city wall.
In addition, the several siege towers that kept shooting arrows in the rear separated into three again and began to advance. The ranger troops that were originally above all went down to make way for the melee troops, so that they could use the big killers like towers to further invest more troops on the city wall.
And these rangers who left their shooting positions did not stop attacking. Although they have lost their favorable shooting position, their superb shooting skills can still suppress the enemy at the top of the city to a large extent. At the same time, although the crossbowmen next to the ranger troops are not as good in range and shooting accuracy, they can still get close to the top of the city after the enemy's ability to suppress the siege party has dropped significantly. Very close, raised the crossbow, and poured the arrows towards the top of the city at a very fast speed.
The walls of Mihe City are already in danger!
In this battle, Dane did not take any strange moves at all. The army presses in, completes the manufacturing of the siege equipment, and then uses superior firepower, superior long-range shooting ability, superior military quality, and exerts frantic pressure towards the top of the city with an upright momentum. And under such a strong attack, Mihe City, which had a strength similar to that of the attacking side, had faintly hinted that it would not be able to hold on during Dane's first full-scale attack.
This sign of being unable to hold on was quite obvious in the eyes of Heka Tim, who was supervising the battle.
It is true that he is a warlock, but he is not the kind of spellcaster who stays in the laboratory every day and is only obsessed with research. On the contrary, he is a War Warlock who grew up from the flames of war!
This is the time to make a decision!
He waved to his side with a stern expression. Under the protection of two dark spirit warriors, this warlock stepped onto the battlefield!
Under the waving of the staff, a large area of the city was shrouded in dark dark power, which was obviously a precursor to the release of high-level spells!
Two minutes later, a huge black shadow descended from the sky! It was a dark purple cloud!
This strange cloud is just above the most successful siege tower. A moment later, a large amount of liquid sprayed down from the black-purple cloud like a splash. These same pitch-black liquids, after touching the human body, will produce a terrifying corrosion effect like the most violent sulfuric acid. This kind of corrosion, not to mention **, even steel can't hold it!
A large number of Dyne's soldiers who climbed to the top of the city screamed and died under the power of the spell, and even some of the defenders who fought with them in close quarters also did not avoid being killed by the shadow corruption spell fate.
But these soldiers are actually not the most important target of Heka Tim, what he is targeting is the siege tower!
Of course, a wooden siege tower cannot last too long under high-level spells that can corrode even steel. Under the eyes of everyone on the entire battlefield, a wooden tower with a height of more than ten meters was melted into pieces in the next ten minutes.
Everyone saw this scene, including Dane of course.
Regarding that one of his siege towers was destroyed and almost a squadron of soldiers was completely reimbursed, he felt distressed in his heart, but at the same time he was also a little happy: "I finally caught you!"
Dyne's intelligence system is not bad, of course he knows who the guard of Mihe City is! Greeting Card Tim, as a fourteenth-level War Warlock, must be the person Dane needs to deal with most when conquering the city. Don't mention his status as the top general of Mihe City's defenders, just talk about the role he can play in a war as a high-level spellcaster, which Dane can't ignore.
Dyne had personally experienced the power of magic in war, so it was absolutely impossible for him to be unprepared.
"We can go!" He said softly to Joel next to him~IndoMTL.com~Okay. "The high-ranking mage Joel nodded and waved his staff. A moment later, a random door opened in front of the two of them.
Dimension Door is a high-level spell that can open a small portal connecting two locations at a medium distance. It's just that Joel has prepared for a long time, and the arbitrary door he released is an enhanced version!
This arbitrary door is obviously two sizes larger than ordinary arbitrary doors!
Dyne stepped in first, followed by Joel, and after that, two teams of elves in gorgeous silver armor also walked in with swords.
This team, as well as Dane himself, are the forces he is going to use to complete the beheading tactics!
Heka Tim on the top of the city, as a high-level spellcaster, it is impossible for him not to feel the fluctuation of the arbitrary door, especially this arbitrary door, which is only fifteen meters away from him.
A great warlock at level 14, of course, has the ability to counter any door. If it was normal, the moment the arbitrary door opened, he would be able to use the annihilation spell to close the door directly. However, he just completed a powerful war spell, guided it for more than ten minutes, killed a squadron of soldiers, and destroyed a siege tower. somewhat affected.
Not to mention, the griffins in the sky who were fighting the bat cavalry suddenly swooped down violently at this moment!
At this moment, Greeting Card Tim felt a very strong killing intent!
