Of course, just filling in this wide and deep moat cannot be done in a short time.
Especially the long-range defensive firepower of the Sun God Kingdom, which is armed to the teeth.
On the first day alone, more than 3,000 serfs and coalition soldiers suffered casualties.
At night, the coalition forces had to ask for Nalant's support.
I hope Nalant can send his magic cannon to support the coalition forces.
Narant will not refuse even if he hears the request.
Although every magic energy cannon fired is worth gold coins.
But now we have arrived under the city wall of the Kingdom of the Sun.
He also wanted to destroy the Kingdom of the Sun God faster.
As long as the Kingdom of the Sun God is wiped out, the Storm Kingdom will no longer have a powerful enemy on this continent from now on.
There is no need to be timid when developing.
Ever since, during the Tianhe battle on the second day, Nalant's hundreds of magic armored vehicles drove outside the Holy City.
As the purple magic energy shells bombarded the Holy City of the Sun God Kingdom, they immediately startled the Sun God Kingdom coalition forces in the city.
However, what Nalant didn't expect was that the damage done by the magic cannon was not as powerful as before.
This is not because the magic cannon is broken, or because Nalant is reluctant to use the magic crystal.
It's because the walls of the holy city are protected by magic circles.
In the past, magic energy bombardment on ordinary city walls could immediately blow up a large area.
For example, the battlements of the city wall will definitely be torn into pieces.
But when the magic energy cannonballs hit the wall stacks of the holy city, the power was directly absorbed.
I saw a faint light shining on the surface of the city wall, like a protective shield.
The power of the magic energy cannon is directly reduced, and even the corners of the wall stacks cannot be damaged.
The result of this is that unless the magic energy cannon directly hits the inside of the wall, it will cause greater casualties.
But the wall stacks are only that big, and it’s not like the magic cannon missed its arrow.
It is normal to have an error of one or two meters when shooting, and there is no way to control it.
Therefore, in a round of shelling, it is considered good if half of them hit the middle of the wall.
Even if there is no enemy in the middle of the wall with the help of magic cannons, the magic cannons may go directly over the city wall and then shoot into the Holy City.
Although the Holy City can also be damaged, this is not what Nalant and the others want.
What they want is that the magic cannon can suppress the enemies on the city wall.
Nalant immediately frowned. Such a bombardment effect was absolutely wasteful and inefficient.
As a result, Nalant ordered a group of magic armored vehicles to start retreating.
After retreating for almost two hundred meters, he started shooting again.
In this way, the magic energy cannon will have a larger arc parabola.
Although the accuracy has become worse, there is a greater probability of avoiding the wall stacks and bombarding the center of the Holy City wall.
"That's the strange iron box that the escort soldiers reported when they returned from defeat some time ago."
"Leader of the Goblin, let your magic cannons suppress him as much as possible. As for those serf coolies, just give them to the magic cannons of our Sun Kingdom Guards!"
Although Narant was very dissatisfied with the results of his bombardment.
But it still made the leader of the Holy City of Sun Kingdom feel a huge threat on the city wall.
Therefore, the leader of the Holy City found the hired Goblin leader without hesitation.
Let him aim all the magic cannons at Nalant's magic armored vehicle.
These goblins also have more than 200 magic cannons in total, and they were the ones who killed the most people filling the river yesterday.
"Okay, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief!"
Naturally, the Goblin leader did not hesitate. He also heard the report from the commander of his subordinates who had returned from defeat last time.
It was that iron box that destroyed most of the hundreds of magic cannons brought by the Goblins.
Today, the walls of the Holy City have a strong magic circle, which can be used to solve the iron box.
Although it was the first time he saw the iron box, he could figure it out.
Although such an iron box can withstand magic energy cannonballs.
But he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand a few shots.
I'm afraid it can be blasted away with at most three or four shots.
Subsequently, two hundred Goblin magic cannons on the walls of the Holy City launched a bombardment on the magic armored vehicles from above.
Because of its height advantage, the Goblin's magic cannon can better target the magic armored vehicle against the wall.
In just one salvo, at least forty or fifty magic energy cannons hit the magic energy armored vehicle.
"Ook, Ook, your noble lord, this is not okay!"
"Those goblins on the walls of the Holy City have better shooting angles."
"So their targeting accuracy is higher than ours."
"If we keep shooting here, I'm afraid it won't be long before some magic armored vehicles are damaged."
The Lombard leader immediately found Narant and warned him after being shelled.
In fact, no need to remind him, Narant discovered the problem immediately.
After all, this magic armored vehicle is also the most precious firepower in his family.
"Rumba, then start exercising and don't be afraid of consuming magic energy crystals."
"After you finish shooting, if you see that the opponent's energy storage is about to be completed, move immediately."
"And wait for the opponent's magic cannon to finish firing, then stop and aim and shoot!"
Nalant immediately gave the hint to the goblin Lumba.
"Yes, my lord!"
When Lumba heard this, he immediately understood the meaning.
Then he led several goblins and began to explain to the members of each magic armored vehicle.
Then, the team of magic armored vehicles turned out just as Nalant said.
Move immediately when the enemy's energy charge is about to be completed.
After the enemy's magic energy cannon finished shooting, it stopped and aimed and fired.
Although more magic energy is consumed than before, the probability of the magic energy armored vehicle being hit is lower.
The goblins on the city wall were not stupid when they saw this. After the shooting was completed, they also temporarily pulled the magic cannon behind the wall stacks.
After Nalant finished shooting, they moved to the front of the wall stack again and started shooting.
In this way, on the second day of the Holy City War, the two sides began to engage in a war of attrition that pulled each other apart.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It will not only consume the opponent's energy, but also consume the opponent's material reserves.
Fortunately, although they were mutually consuming, the appearance of Nalant's magic armored vehicle actually attracted the two hundred magic cannons from the opposite side.
Therefore, the casualties of serf coolies dropped by most in the next ten days or so.
From more than 3,000 people on the first day, the number of casualties dropped to more than 1,000 daily casualties.
Of course, even so, after more than ten days, just filling in the moat cost the coalition forces tens of thousands of casualties.
This shows how brutal this battle was.
But even so, it still did not shake the will of the high priests of the coalition to attack the Holy City of the Kingdom of the Sun.
As soon as the moat was filled, the truly brutal siege began.
The coalition forces dispatched 200,000 ordinary escorts to conduct siege operations against the Holy City of the Kingdom of the Sun from the front and the right side.
All types of siege equipment were dispatched.
Whether it is a ladder, a siege vehicle, or a primitive weapon such as a trebuchet, all are used.
Suddenly, there were shouts of killing all day long inside and outside the holy city, and rivers of blood flowed.
On the first day of formal fighting alone, the coalition forces retreated at the cost of five to six thousand men.
But even with the sacrifice of five to six thousand people, under the resolute and tight defense of the Kingdom of the Sun, the soldiers on the coalition side did not even touch the inside of the city wall.
Basically, they were lost during the charge and climbing the city wall.
Moreover, this was also under the cover of Nalant's magic armored vehicle.
Even though Nalant had traveled through so many years, to be honest, he had rarely seen such brutal siege battles.
And even though they suffered so many casualties, they did not affect the siege battle on the second day.
The Allied Forces of the Kingdom of God also sent a team of 100,000 people, divided into two teams, and besieged from both sides.
Of course, as for the results, they are definitely no different from the previous two days.
The coalition forces still retreated at the cost of thousands of casualties.
Of course, the Sun God Kingdom also suffered casualties, but the casualty ratio was much smaller than that of the coalition forces.
Due to the favorable geographical location, the casualty ratio of both sides reached a terrifying five to one.
In other words, five coalition soldiers can be exchanged for the casualties of one Sun God Kingdom soldier.
And such siege battles will continue day after day.
Every day, as soon as Narant woke up from his sleep in the tent, he could hear the loud sound of the horn coming from outside.
The sound of the horn sounded as punctual as an alarm clock adjusted in a previous life.
The siege teams are just like office workers, attacking the city at a fixed time every day.
There was a battle in the morning, and another battle in the afternoon.
Occasionally there will be surprise attacks in the middle of the night.
Such a stalemate battle made the mental state of the soldiers on both sides extremely tense.
Especially the coalition forces, because they suffer huge casualties every day, and they still cannot attack for a long time.
Therefore, morale also changed from the high morale when the troops came to the city to numbness.
Fortunately, although the coalition forces do not occupy a favorable position, they do have people and people.
That is a steady stream of ordinary Divine Kingdom guards dispatched from the rear of the Divine Kingdom.
Each legion's escort team comes and is only responsible for attacking for a period of time.
For example, after ten days of continuous attacks, another Guard Corps from the Kingdom of God will be switched to join the battle.
The previous legion can return to the rear to rest and recuperate.
Not only did they provide enough supplies for the attack, but they also hired business groups from China to station themselves, allowing the escorts to have fun and relieve their tension.
In this way, the Sun Kingdom Guards became even more tired than the coalition forces.
Because the defenders in the city are all fixed, their numbers are simply not comparable to that of the coalition forces.
Although they will also undergo rotation, the treatment and period of rest cannot be compared with that of the coalition forces.
In the end, the original casualty ratio of both sides was five to one.
Later it became four to one, or even three to one.
Of course, three to one is already the limit.
After all, a solid city wall is also a very difficult to overcome divine punishment.
Time flies, and it will soon be three months later.
And this battle, which is related to the future destiny of the human race in Io continent, has continued until now.
And the intensity of the attack has not weakened at all.
Although both sides are consuming countless supplies and losing thousands of subordinate soldiers every day.
But both sides are gritting their teeth and persisting.
But now, both the soldiers and leaders on both sides have actually become numb to the war.
The daily casualties have also become a series of numbers, except for the administrative officer who is responsible for special records.
Many times the high priests would only hear a brief numerical report every day.
For example, how many people were killed in battle today, how many were seriously injured, and how many were slightly injured.
After hearing the report, the high priests had no other feelings.
The only thing that can witness the last journey of these dead soldiers is the black smoke rising from inside and outside the city every evening.
This is because as the war progressed, the weather gradually became hotter, and the number of casualties on both sides was too high.
The bodies of fallen soldiers could no longer be transported directly to the rear.
Therefore, in order to avoid the plague, both sides will collect their respective corpses for incineration after the battle.
It will then be collected and shipped back.
…
"Nalant, this is the letter that was just delivered from the Kingdom of God today. This letter is written by Saint Stella to you."
That evening, at dusk after the battle, High Priest Dagmar came to Nalant's camp and brought him Stella's letter.
It has been four or five months since Nalant came to the continent of Io to participate in the battle, so Stella naturally already knew about it.
Therefore, every once in a while, letters will be sent through the logistics team of the Kingdom of Talented Goddess.
"Thank you so much to High Priest Dagmar for letting you deliver it in person!"
Narant took the envelope very politely, and then invited the high priest Dagmar to sit down.
Now the expression on the face of High Priest Dagmar no longer had the dazzling look of the past.
There is always a slight gloominess flowing between his eyebrows.
In fact, this is not only the case for the High Priest Dagmar, but also for the other High Priests of the Allied Forces of the Kingdom of God.
This holy city of the Kingdom of the Sun has been unable to be conquered for a long time, and it has to pay so many casualties every day.
Although they are all ordinary escorts, they are still lives.
Therefore, in order to annihilate the Kingdom of the Sun God, the high priests did not say anything about it, but they still felt great pressure in their hearts.
"High Priest Dagmar, would you like a drink?"
Although he was asking, Nalant had already picked up the glass and placed it in front of Dagma, then slowly poured a glass of wine.
When High Priest Dagmar saw this, he did not refuse. He picked up the cup and took a sip directly.
Putting down his wine glass, High Priest Dagmar spoke to Nalant: "Baron Nalant, how long do you think it will take us to break through the holy city of the Kingdom of the Sun God?"
Although the battle is now in a stalemate, both sides are constantly consuming the other.
But in the eyes of the high priests of the Allied Forces of the Kingdom of God, victory will eventually belong to them.
Because the Sun God Kingdom’s escort team is limited after all, and sooner or later it will be exhausted one day.
However, a group of coalition soldiers is more powerful. Although the casualties are greater, they can be replenished very quickly.
Therefore, it is only a matter of time before we conquer the Holy City.
Facing the inquiry, Narant showed a slight helplessness, although he wanted to say a few auspicious words.
But this time, he really couldn't predict the battle in the Holy City of Sun Kingdom.
Because the Sun God Kingdom’s will to fight is unexpectedly strong.
Moreover, they not only made defensive preparations early, but also stockpiled a large amount of supplies.
The most important thing is that there is a magic circle on the wall of the holy city, which can be said to be indestructible.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to predict when the city wall will be breached.
