At this moment, Lei Xiao, who was standing on the towering city wall, surrounded by Hong Ye and Ariel, narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to observe.
I saw two giant phalanxes coming straight towards the mountain fortress, that is, the Chinese army corps where the opponent's coach belonged, and another rear guard corps.
They just stood in tandem, far out of the range of our magic cannon, and didn't even cross the depression on the side.
"As expected of the opponent's coach, he has a pretty accurate grasp of the range of the magic cannon."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but smile slightly and continued to observe.
Next, with the blessing of the night vision effect of [Star Pupil], Lei Xiao, who was condescending, took further notice.
Although these two legions have fully deployed their formations, the long-range troops among them are all deployed on the left, right and rear of the formation.
At the front is a dense heavy infantry phalanx. It can be seen that it is not so much an offensive formation, but a defensive formation and a support formation, which is more appropriate.
"Now it can basically be confirmed that this mountain fortress is indeed not the main attack direction of the Holy Night Army."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao pondered in his heart and said: "As for why the opponent deployed long-range troops on the flanks, it is more obvious. It is to quickly reinforce the main attack direction."
Realizing this, Lei Xiao continued to observe.
I saw that a considerable number of long-range troops were deployed on the left and right sides of these two legions, but from a visual point of view, it was obviously impossible to judge the other side's true main attack direction.
"He is indeed a cunning guy. In this way, at least until the opponent actually starts to launch the main attack, we will not be able to take corresponding countermeasures."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and fighter planes are fleeting.
In this way, the opponent will undoubtedly be able to race against time to the maximum extent and seize the initiative in the battle.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao discovered again.
The blue griffin flag of the opponent's central army has long been removed, and the towering command podium has also been demolished, and the opponent's coach can't be found at all.
"It seems that the Red Devil has obviously learned that the commanders of the two long-range legions have been beheaded by their own side."
Noticing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Before this, Lei Xiao also discussed with Mr. Bai the possibility of directly beheading the opponent's coach, the Red Devils. However, Mr. Bai vetoed it.
Firstly, the Red Devil's own strength is that he is not just an ordinary fourth-level peak powerhouse, but has already stepped into the fifth level with half of his feet.
Although his strength is still not comparable to that of a fifth-level powerhouse, he will definitely not be defeated within three or two moves.
Secondly, because of his cautious nature, in addition to the elite guards, he is always protected by a small absolute defensive barrier, making it impossible to approach easily.
Moreover, as a master guardian warrior wearing heavy armor, the Red Devil possesses many life-saving trump cards, including precious teleportation spell scrolls and concealment spell scrolls.
Therefore, if you cannot kill with one blow and let the target escape, it will be self-defeating, exposing your own strength of the fifth-level warrior, making the other party fearful, and even suspending the siege plan.
After all, our goal is not just to repel the opponent.
Rather, it is to reduce the opponent's combat power and supplies to the maximum extent, so that the war scale between Sheng Ye and Leng Yan will be balanced again.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of the magic cannon, it suddenly roared again.
Halfway up the mountainside on the left and right sides, the other two Holy Night legions, which had already arrived at the small fortress, launched a fierce attack on the small fortress in front of them almost at the same time!
In an instant, there were loud shouts of killing and the roar of artillery fire.
Whether it is on the two fortress walls located halfway up the mountain, or under the walls, there are dazzling magical lights of all colors, just like the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky, making people dazzled.
However, what these magical radiances replaced were cold death greetings between the warring parties.
"The opponent's target is indeed two other small fortresses!"
Seeing this scene, Ariel's starry eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but nervously blurted out: "But which fortress is the real main direction of the opponent's attack?"
"Don't worry, with the current one-to-one strength and combat power between the enemy and us, even a small fortress has no possibility of being captured by the other side. If my prediction is correct, these two siege legions are just for the purpose of
The role of containing the defenders in the fortress."
Waving his hand slightly, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved back and forth while carefully observing the two almost identical battle situations halfway up the mountain to the left and right.
While continuing to say to Ariel: "It can be seen from this that the opponent will definitely make other moves, and the next move is the key to this battle, or in other words, it is when the opponent plays their trump card."
"You are right. The two legions under our noses have shown no signs of action yet."
Hearing this, Ariel's nervous expression eased slightly, and she nodded slightly and said: "From the terrain point of view, the small fortress on our left is built next to a dense forest, with rugged rocks around it, which greatly affects our defenders.
sight, and the one on the right is surrounded by an extremely empty space..."
After saying this thoughtfully, Ariel pondered for a moment and continued: "Judging from this point, it is obvious that the one on our right is easier to defend and harder to attack!"
"On the surface, that seems to be the case, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the opponent may take a wrong approach."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao then recited words and ordered the three groups of subordinates outside his command not to get involved in the battle yet, but to observe all suspicious things around them and look for the opponent's flaws in turn.
Currently, those in the fortress on the left are Nan Xing, Nan Yue and Lin.
Located in the fortress on the right are Ye Cang, Chao Yan and Bai Wei.
And near the mountain fortress, it was Hu Guang who was leading A Ling and A Bing.
"Lord, in this forest-side fortress where my subordinates are located, the offensive of the Holy Night Army seems to be fierce, but in fact it is not. It is just at the limit of the range of both sides, and the long-range output has no intention of approaching the siege."
Immediately afterwards, Lin's angry voice reached Lei Xiao's ears: "It seems that the other party is just showing off..."
"Lord, the empty fortress where my subordinates are located is in the same situation."
On the other side, Ye Cang's elegant voice also sounded: "The other party is obviously just attracting the attention of the defenders in the fortress. The actual casualties and losses caused are very small."
"Is that true?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
It can be seen that the opponent is obviously waiting for the opportunity to play his trump card.
"At present, it is certain that one of the opponent's trump cards is undoubtedly the disappeared legion. However, so far, neither my subordinates nor Bai Lao's scouts have found anything."
Shaking his head helplessly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "So, if you want to find a breakthrough from this point, the chance is very slim, and according to what Bai Lao said, the opponent obviously has more than one trump card..."
At this time, Lei Xiao's eyes were deep and he thought to himself: "At this stage, when the opponent's trump card is unknown and we want to preserve our strength to the maximum extent, although we don't want to admit it, the initiative in the battle has already been lost.
In the opponent’s hands.”
"Originally, I wanted to find out the opponent's flaws first, and then take relevant countermeasures. However, the opponent's coach, the Red Devils, is a scheming guy, and he did it almost flawlessly. Therefore, if I continue to wait, I will become even worse.
passive."
Thinking of this, a look of awe suddenly appeared in Lei Xiao's eyes, and he said secretly: "If that's the case, then I'll simply throw some light on it and force the other party to reveal other trump cards. Only in this way can I change from passive to active."
"After all, the trump card in the opponent's hand is always limited. If you play one, you will naturally lose one."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao briefly explained his thoughts to Ariel, and then said: "Okay, my dear Fifth Princess, I am going to take the next step. You..."
"Of course I want to act with you!"
Before Lei Xiao finished speaking, Ariel immediately said impatiently: "Waiting here is not the style of our Lengyan royal family!"
"That's right, after all, the coat of arms of your royal family is a lively and cute kitten."
Shrugging slightly, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and took his own steps.
"You hateful guy, that is a mighty and majestic Cold Flame Holy Lion, okay..."
On the other side, Ariel's eyebrows were raised, her little face was so angry that she almost bulged into a bun, and she quickly followed her.
Just like that, after having an explanation with Mr. Bai, Lei Xiao immediately took Hong Ye and Ariel to put on the invisibility cloak and disappeared under the night sky in an instant.
Next, it didn't take long as the journey was so fast.
Lei Xiao and the others met up with Ye Cang, Chao Yan and Bai Wei who were at the small fortress in the open area on the mountainside to the right of the mountain fortress.
"Lord, the other party has been attacking me so tepidly. I don't know what else they will do."
Above the empty fortress, in a hidden place on a slope with a wide view, I could see that the magic power had recovered a lot, and he was chewing a large piece of strawberry cake while smiling sheepishly at Lei Xiao.
Upon closer inspection, because the cake was so big, the edge of the pointed witch hat on Chaoyan's head was covered with a lot of cream.
"I don't know what the other party is up to yet, but the way you, girl, restore your magic power is quite special."
Pouting his lips slightly, Lei Xiao regained his solemn expression and began to observe the situation on the battlefield.
Currently, the team's location is on a higher ground, allowing them to have a panoramic view of most of the battlefield.
At a glance, I could see fierce shouts of killing and the sound of attack horns on the smoke-filled battlefield.
Just as Chao Yan and Ye Cang said before, the Holy Night Army attacking the city has surrounded the three sides of the small fortress except for the side that backs onto the cliff.
The long-range troops who concentrated their superior strength exchanged fire and bombardment with the defenders above the fortress. Although the battle situation seemed very fierce and anxious, they never got any closer.
Seeing this, looking at the back of one of the Holy Night Army who was facing away from him, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
Since the Holy Night Army concentrated its elite heavy infantry and long-range troops in the front row, those on standby in the back row were basically light infantry phalanxes, which were completely defenseless.
From this, it is a good opportunity for our side to take action!
"It is conceivable that the reason why the opponent chose to attack from two directions at the same time is, firstly, for his own sake, and secondly, naturally, to contain the troops in his own fortress."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "So, as long as one of the Holy Night Legions besieging the fortress can be struck with thunder to the point of breaking their muscles and bones and threatening the opponent's plan, then, in order
Maintain the situation and the other party will definitely use their trump cards to deal with it."
"In this way, we can naturally disrupt the opponent's original plan to the greatest extent, allowing our side to regain the initiative on the battlefield."
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao did not hesitate, and with a thought, he directly summoned all 18 ice knights in the space bracelet.
"These advanced alchemy puppets are all at the peak level of the third level, and their defense power is also extremely amazing. They are obviously suitable for breaking up the opponent's formation. Furthermore, the open terrain here is also very suitable for high-speed knights to attack.
.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and immediately ordered 18 ice knights to charge in a cone formation towards the unsuspecting back row of the Holy Night Army.
The next second, under the cover of night, a group of ice knights raised their long lances and rushed straight towards the opponent's camp.
At this time, the sounds and smells on the battlefield were very chaotic, completely covering up the noise made by the ice knights.
Therefore, it was not until the moment when the Ice Knights, flying down the hillside with thunderous winds, was about to approach the Holy Night Army's camp.
The Holy Night Army soldiers in the last row felt the trembling of the earth, and they all looked back subconsciously.
However, what greeted them was naturally an ice crystal lance that was sharper and stronger than most metals.
In an instant, the highly moved gun tip pierced through the bodies of the soldiers in the last row with almost no resistance, and was directly hung on the lances.
The soldiers next to them were knocked away by the tall ice horse that followed, and then screamed and fell on the soldiers in front.
For a moment, there was the muffled sound of ice horses hitting armor, the screams of soldiers, and the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground. There was a bloody storm behind the siege Holy Night Army, causing chaos in the formation.
