More than three hundred miles apart, Lin Qi and Arthur sighed at the same time.
Lin Qi watched with his own eyes as the tide of abyssal creatures surrounded his small city. The raging black torrent of human heads was squirming and rolling on the ground. Anyone with a little courage had already been beaten by this huge army.
Scared to death.
And Arthur watched this spectacular scene through the magic light mirror. The area of the Fourth Abyss was extremely vast, more than a hundred times larger than the Fifth Abyss on the next level. Although the demons and evil spirits in the Fourth Abyss alone
The physical strength is much weaker than the demons and evil spirits in the fifth and sixth abyss. There are no demigod-level beings in the fourth abyss, but their numbers are too huge.
When the number reaches a certain level, the slight difference in strength becomes nothing.
Looking at the dense crowds of people within a hundred miles radius, everyone feels like their scalp is numb. How many abyssal creatures are there? One million? Five million? Or ten million? Or even more?
Moreover, the abyssal creatures that appear here are mainly slave soldiers such as cavemen and dwarfs. They are petite in size, and their average height is about two feet. This makes their density even greater, and their total number is astonishingly large.
degree.
No camp was built, no tents were erected, and no siege equipment was prepared. Accompanied by the high-pitched sound of animal bone horns, groups of cavemen, dwarfs, black goblins and other cannon fodder soldiers, mixed with a very small number of ogres,
Wolf goblins, orcs and other slightly more powerful troops rushed out of the crowd and attacked Lin Qi's city from four directions.
Lin Qi did not dispatch his elite soldiers. He only sent the soldiers from the Arthur Recruitment Legion who followed him to the city wall. The city wall was ten miles long and wide, and thousands of soldiers holding spears were arranged on each side of the city wall.
New recruits, this is enough to lay a complete line of defense on the city wall.
There were no ladders, no towers, and no siege engines. The abyssal creatures marched forward with numb and stiff steps, like zombies. They swarmed under the city wall, climbing on each other to form human ladders. They were densely clinging to the city wall.
He climbed up the city like an ant.
Lin Qi did not order the arrows to be fired, nor did he ask the magicians to release magic.
Facing the cannon fodder of this abyssal creature, using bows and arrows and magic. From a certain inhumane but very consistent with the laws of economics, the cost of this is far greater than the benefit.
According to the calculations of some sages in the surface world, a good feather arrow costs about three silver coins, and the cost for those cave people to have one child and seven or eight children is close to zero. Even one feather arrow can
Kill three cavemen and no valuable materials can be recovered from them. Three silver coins are a pure cost investment, and the profit from recovery is zero.
With Lin Qi's character, how could he spend huge costs here?
Not to mention, was this siege a script planned by him and the lords?
The abyssal creatures waved their short legs and arms with difficulty, and climbed awkwardly to a height less than one meter away from the city. The soldiers of the new legion, under the orders of the mercenaries of the Longshan family, raised their spears and pointed at them.
These slave soldiers were just beating and banging around.
Densely packed slave soldiers cling to the city wall. As long as they swing their spears and swipe at will, they can sweep seven or eight slave soldiers off the city wall. These cavemen and dwarfs are short in body and have pitiful strength. A young and strong man can do it.
As long as you can muster the courage, you can easily defeat three or five such slave soldiers in a head-on battle.
Not to mention that they now use the power of city defense to attack these short guys from a high position, which gives them a huge advantage.
A large number of cavemen and dwarfs who had finally climbed to the top of the wall were swept down by the guns. The under the city wall was densely packed with slave soldiers. They were like a thick meat blanket, steadily catching them.
The siege soldiers dropped from the sky.
Because they have their companions below as flesh cushions. Few of the slave soldiers who fell fell to death. Most of them fainted after falling and smashed their unlucky companions below them into unconsciousness. Other than that, they were basically knocked unconscious.
There were no casualties on board.
Large swaths of slave soldiers fell down, large groups of slave soldiers were knocked unconscious, and the city was surrounded by siege cavemen and dwarfs flying in the sky. It was simply a spectacle. No slave soldier could actually climb the city wall.
, they were swept out by the barrel of a gun in embarrassment when they were still the last step away from the city.
Lin Qi looked coldly at the siege army, which was extremely large in number but extremely weak in combat effectiveness, and then lazily issued an order: "Tell the lords outside the city to maintain this siege intensity in the past few days.
Well, attack the city day and night non-stop, and make it look like a fierce attack. By the way, let me tell them, make some siege equipment, and act more decently!"
Bilibili spread his hands, sighed helplessly, and then escaped into the darkness.
Even Bilibili, the little mixed-blood devil, can't stand it anymore. Those unlucky siege slave soldiers, their combat effectiveness is really embarrassing. As Lin Qi said, those lords outside the city, you
Even if you are acting, you should act decently, right?
Time slipped by slowly, one hour, one hour, another hour!
After receiving Lin Qi's warning, the demon lords outside the city finally used some strength and capital to attack the city. Hundreds of strange-looking ladders were carried out by the slave soldiers.
Ten crude siege vehicles also rumbled towards the city wall, and a demon mage raised dozens of rock arrow towers less than a mile away from the city wall. A group of kobold archers squatted in the arrow towers.
On top of the city, cold arrows were sparsely fired at the city.
The cloud ladder was erected on the city wall, and the siege vehicles banged against the rocky city wall with a "bang, bang" sound. The sparse cold arrows on the arrow towers posed a considerable threat to the new soldiers on the top of the city.
This siege battle that Lin Qi mastered finally had the flavor of a regular war. New soldiers began to be shot by cold arrows on the city top, and the pungent smell of blood began to emit from the city top. The atmosphere on the battlefield became more and more intense.
Intense, the new recruits gradually joined in the increasingly fierce battle.
Lin Qi controlled a certain degree very well. He divided the tens of thousands of recruits who followed him into more than a dozen waves. Whenever a wave of recruits suffered casualties and their morale began to decline, he would immediately replace them and continue to
Let them receive the training of fighting.
According to Lin Qi's plan, in such a 'high-intensity' 'siege battle', in just a few days, after experiencing strong mental pressure and combat intensity training, these new recruits will grow into barely qualified soldiers. And then
Let them stand the test of a few more battles, and they will have the foundation to become elite soldiers.
When the time comes, using this group of 'elite soldiers' as an example, it will not be difficult for Lin Qi to poach more recruits from Arthur's men for his own use.
The shouts of killing shook the sky, and the city walls were gradually covered with blood.
No one noticed. In fact, the losses on both sides were not large. The actual number of soldiers killed in the battle was probably less than 500. However, the blood on the city wall was dripping with blood, and the thick plasma covered the city wall with a thick layer. There were often some
The capable evil ghost warriors rushed up to the city wall, and were then driven down under the siege of a large group of soldiers. When these evil ghost warriors jumped off the city wall, they would always spit out large mouthfuls of blood. The amount of blood they spurted out
This is several times the amount of all the blood in a human body.
Relying on the constant spitting of blood by these evil ghost warriors, Lin Qi's city was gradually dyed with blood, and a tragic scene of a battle was perfectly created.
The little devils were setting fires everywhere, the little demon hunters were hacking and slashing everywhere, and the cavemen were digging caves on the ground. Thick smoke and flames enveloped the entire city. Inexplicable poisonous smoke and gas were sprayed everywhere, and from time to time, some people fell unconscious in the caves.
People and dwarfs were urgently escorted into the dug cave.
The messengers of the abyssal army were running around everywhere, and various battle reports were reported very loudly, so that Arthur's scouts did not need to expend much effort to "accurately" grasp the effects of this battle on the abyssal creatures.
of damage.
On the first day, hundreds of thousands of cavemen and dwarfs died in battle, and their bodies were transported underground to be used as fertilizer.
The next day, millions of cavemen and other slave soldiers were killed, and thousands of ghost warriors were killed.
On the third day, more slave soldiers were killed, and tens of thousands of elite evil ghost warriors were killed.
On the fourth, fifth, and sixth days, Lin Qi brazenly used those powerful city defense equipment, such as bed crossbows, trebuchets, magic repeating crossbows, and powerful crossbows, and sprayed them crazily at the abyss creatures under the city wall.
The loss of abyssal creatures in the past three days immediately reached an extremely alarming number, and the number of abyssal creatures under the city wall suddenly dropped by more than half.
In the city, the tens of thousands of new soldiers who followed Lin Qi on the expedition all fell to the ground without any strength. They were all seriously injured. Now, those on top of the city were the dwarf warriors and Warcraft knights brought by Lin Qi.
.
On the seventh day, several elite abyssal armies composed of demons, ghosts, orcs and other powerful soldiers rushed to the city. Dozens of powerful demons and ghost lords appeared in public. They issued a final ultimatum to Lin Qi. If
If he doesn't surrender, he will suffer a devastating blow.
Faced with the siege of the elite army of abyssal creatures, Lin Qi sent thirty-six of the most urgent magical distress letters to Arthur.
But Arthur always used the excuse that he was preparing for war and asked his "great ally Longshan family to support for three more days" and turned a blind eye to Lin Qi's letter for help.
Then the elite army of abyssal creatures launched an attack on Lin Qi's castle.
In the first attack, they broke through the dwarves' blockage and almost entered the city. (To be continued...)
