Chapter 179 The Second Feint
The Pope did not appear at the city gate today.
Maybe he was afraid of being angry, or maybe it was because the plague in the city was making him anxious.
But the gate of Dragon Fire City opened unexpectedly, and a group of Templar Knights rode out.
Behind them were the Crusaders who seemed to be doing nothing.
It's just that the number of people is much less than what was reported in the information.
Calante understood the Pope's plan at a glance.
The Pope wanted to send a wave of troops to have a collision with them and test their bottom line.
By the way, I want to try to spread the plague here too.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help curling his lips and snorting coldly, already having a countermeasure in his mind.
The Pope's abacus was very good, but it was a pity that he met Calante.
Xiwei also discovered the strange movement in Dragon Fire City.
He glanced at Calante, who was confident, and couldn't help but nodded secretly.
This bearded man is really good at fighting, and he has probably guessed what the Pope is thinking.
Faced with this situation, you only need to lead the cavalry to charge into the formation and fight a wave of attrition, and then leave with one strike.
Then send players to make up for it and see the enemy's reaction to speculate on the situation in Dragon Fire City.
According to Poposa, his plague will begin to worsen rapidly on the third day, and people will die on the fourth day.
If these Dragon Fire City troops choose to fight to the end, they may even attack them in turn.
That means the situation in Dragon Fire City is fine at the moment, and we have the confidence to leave the city for a decisive battle.
Sivi and Kalant will continue to lure the Pope to stay in the city.
If they retreat to Dragon Fire City, it means that there is a problem with their military strength. It is likely that the plague situation has worsened, and then they can immediately launch a general attack on Dragon Fire City.
In fact, Xiwei's ideas and Kalant's ideas are almost inseparable.
Moreover, Kalant is more ferocious than Xiwei. Not only does he want to test the Pope's bottom line, but he also wants to eat all the troops leaving the city.
Kalant secretly explained to the guards behind him, and the guards took the order and left. Soon, a dozen sky knights wearing ordinary soldier armor came to the front.
Seeing that the defenders of Dragon Fire City had already set up their formation, Kalant did not hesitate and quickly told Xiwei and Viscount Fit:
"You two each lead a thousand knights to charge against the defenders of Dragon Fire City. The aliens and other soldiers will follow you, and the catapults will continue to attack the city wall to limit the use of their magic cannons. You are the only one
The ones to watch out for are the archers on the wall."
"have you understood?"
Kalant's serious eyes swept over Xi Wei and Viscount Fite.
Xiwei nodded, hugged Loli and rode back to his army formation to start gathering the knights.
He ordered the priest to put a shield on each cavalry, and to be on the safe side, he also brought ten Frightening Ghost Riders who were buffed by Loli.
However, in order not to be discovered, Xiwei strictly ordered these terrifying ghost riders to move in a normal way instead of turning into wisps of gray smoke.
Although Viscount Fit didn't understand what Calante really meant, he could only follow his example.
Two minutes later.
A soldier came to the war drum behind the military formation and began to beat the war drum rhythmically and forcefully.
"Dong dong dong"
At the same time, the desolate horn sound shot straight into the sky, echoing in front of the empty Dragon Fire City.
The time has come.
"charge!"
As Xiwei raised his sword and roared, the cavalry that was ready to attack began to attack the defenders of Dragon Fire City.
In front of the gate of Dragon Fire City, the sound of horse hooves vibrated, and the smoke from the charging horses shrouded the huge army into dense black spots.
The knight in front changed the erect knight's lance to hold it horizontally, and pressed forward with the mighty infantry.
The walls of Dragon Fire City lit up with fire and mysterious magic light, and dense arrows rubbed the air and came with overwhelming roars of "swish, swish, swish".
"Mage put on the shield!"
Xi Wei, who rushed forward, raised his giant sword and shouted.
Both the player mage and the mage group under Calant began to consciously put magic shields on the warriors and knights charging ahead.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The sound of war drums changed from dense and compact to a relatively slower rhythm.
Xi Wei clenched his right fist and raised it high, and the knights behind him began to stop charging.
The cavalry on the outside of the formation dispersed in a well-trained manner, divided into two teams and moved quickly. Each team was led by five terrifying ghost cavalry. They quickly surrounded the defenders of Dragon Fire City.
Only Viscount Fitt did not understand the message conveyed by the war drum.
Relying on his subordinates' magical shields, he rushed into the Crusaders' formation in Dragon Fire City, which had their shields erected in a defensive posture. Immediately, they were turned upside down.
A dozen Templar Knights immediately jumped out from the military formation and attacked Viscount Fit who was trapped in the military formation.
Viscount Fit was already frightened.
He stared blankly at the army that was out of touch with Xi Wei's command, and realized that he had made a serious military mistake, but it was already too late.
Seeing that his life was about to stay here, the roar of the King of the Hill's siege cannon was heard from the other side of the moat.
"Boom boom boom..."
Almost in the blink of an eye, a piece of iron wrapped with thunder and lightning hit the Templar with a destructive momentum. The huge impact caused the Templar to hit the city wall with a "bang" sound, splashing.
There was a lot of dust.
The entire Dragon Fire City army immediately fell into chaos under the bombardment, and they began to disperse under the orders of the Templars.
These soldiers have basically been buffed by the mages of Dragon Fire City. Although they were still badly beaten by the siege artillery, as long as they were not hit from the front or scratched, they were still alive and well.
