In addition to roughly being able to see the rear lineups of humans and ghosts, more than half of the legions have been completely slaughtered together. Vampires, undead and griffons are all mercenaries who focus on close physical attacks.
Together, they were tearing and biting their opponents like shrews fighting each other. The scene was bloody and violent, and Liu Yifei, who was watching from a close distance, was secretly enjoying himself!
The Bone Dragon and the Angel were fighting against each other. Sometimes Gregory would kill too hard, and Drane would come up to control him.
If Drane has any disadvantages this time, it is that he has too few heroes under his command. There is only the last priest hero left, and he has to command the ground army. No one can stop Gregory.
The giant warrior!
Do you expect those ordinary first-grade seventh-order angels to be able to control Gregory?
Pull it down
Even thirty of them could be chopped down by Grigory like he was chopping up melons and vegetables!
The twenty mid-level angels that Drane transferred from Giant Rock City are quite capable, but the problem is just like the batch of vampires under Liu Yifei. They are not cannon fodder at all!
Gregory was so fierce, how could Drain dare to push forward so easily?
Helplessly, every time Gregory's quick kill went too far and was devastated, Drane could only go to the front line to restrain him.
However, Gregory is also a ghost. Under Liu Yifei's instructions, he did not fight with Drane at all, and he was also extremely keen in the ability to capture souls. As soon as he felt that the other party was about to rush over, he immediately flew away with the bone dragons.
Escape, completely giving the opponent no chance to make a surprise attack
Drane only caught two bone dragon summons that were unable to turn around twice. He purified them directly with a raised hand and continued to take out his anger on other undead creatures around him.
As for whether it is possible for Gregory to defeat Drane...
It’s not like there’s no chance at all!
After all, Gregory possesses soul attack methods that can only be mastered by legendary powerhouses. If he can take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, it is really possible to defeat Drane.
Besides, even if the other party really opens up his soul space, Liu Yifei won't be afraid!
He holds a secret weapon in his hand...
It's just that the situation is not good at the moment. The enemy has a superior force and is easy to defeat. But it is impossible to kill him. Therefore, Liu Yifei is also struggling to endure. Seeing the opponent easily slaughtering his troops, he can only grit his teeth and retreat. Relying on the city defense behind him.
The firepower of the ballista and turret suppresses the opponent. These devices are very powerful and ignore the defense. Even the legendary lords will never dare to look down upon them.
And while the aerial army was killing in full swing, the army on the ground was also constantly advancing towards the fortress wall.
The battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and the catapults from both sides also fired more than ten rounds.
With a ten-fold numerical advantage, Liu Yifei suffered a big loss in this regard!
Four of our own catapults were directly mounted on the highest launching platform in the city by Liu Yifei. They were able to isolate a large number of long-range artillery fire from the other side, so they have been preserved to this day.
But the walls of the fortress itself are tragic!
It was bombarded continuously by more than 40 catapults. Although a very small part of the catapults did not reach the range, a small part was shot into the city and destroyed countless other buildings in the city.
But most of them were either scratched or completely smashed on the city wall.
Even though there are a large number of skeletons working desperately in cultivating under the city, they still cannot keep up with the speed of destruction by mid-to-high-level catapults.
As the old saying goes, construction takes ten years to destroy one day. The speed of demolition is faster than construction, let alone such a purely violent demolition?
Fortunately, the defensive wall of the war fortress is double-layered. While the durability of the city wall is doubled, the defensive power of the second-layer wall is higher. It can also slightly reduce the siege damage from the front direction.
Even so, the durability of the second tallest wall has been reduced by one-third, and the first wall is even worse, having fallen by more than two-thirds, and in many places due to the concentrated attacks of stone throwing, localized damage has occurred.
Collapse!
If the damage to the city defense is only "light damage" and "cracks", then it is not a big problem. You only need to constantly replenish the city defense durability to compensate for these damages.
And once a "collapse" situation occurs, it will be very bad!
This means that no matter how repaired it is, this section of wall or building has been completely scrapped.
These irreparable serious injuries can only be completely "rebuilt" after the war by spending more financial resources and time. The seriousness is like a slight injury to the player. Generally, the injury can be done by taking medicine and taking a blood bottle to restore HP, but once it is seriously injured,
, fractures and the like occur. That would be tragic because drugs are completely useless! More advanced methods must be used to cure these injuries.
The seriousness of wall collapse is self-evident!
Although the ground will be somewhat uneven, the siege team has a breakthrough after all, and it is possible to pour directly into the outer wall from the breach to attack the inner wall!
Liu Yifei has asked the four catapults in the city to bombard the opponent's catapult group as much as possible, but the problem is that all the heroes on Liu Yifei's side have gathered together, and none of them has learned or mastered the "catapult specialty"!
When playing the stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Liu Yifei disliked the hero skill "Catapult Specialty" because it was only useful in siege warfare. In addition, even if it was upgraded to a high level, the attack effect would be doubled.
, attacks twice and can direct the attack point.
For many people, this skill is relatively unusable. After all, there are too many better skills, and no one likes to waste the few hero skill slots.
What's even more annoying is that even if this skill is upgraded to a high level, when the catapult is required to directly bombard the gates of the city defenders, arrow towers and other special locations, the attack will still deviate...
However, Liu Yifei never thought that a skill that had no place at all on the stand-alone version and the strategic map would suddenly become extremely important on the world map!
If you have a subordinate who is proficient in catapults, it will obviously make the catapult attacks more powerful and more accurate!
In addition, maybe the attack rhythm can also be increased!
After all, in Liu Yifei's opinion, the frequency of attacks once a minute is still a bit too low.
If our side can produce a catapult hero...
Fortunately, there is no one on the opposite side who is proficient in catapults. Otherwise, the power that fifty mid- to high-level catapults can exert under the command of a corresponding hero...
Liu Yifei couldn't help but shudder just thinking about this!
And this also solidified his idea of finding a hero or player who is good at commanding catapults in the future.
Of course, the same problems as catapults include city defense ballistas and city defense turrets.
Although Liu Yifei had a lot of experience in leading troops in the past, he always fought as a wild encounter, and either his side had a powerful hero to preside over, and he was only responsible for a small-scale battle. Or his side had a complete victory over the opponent, and all the battles were smooth sailing.
.
A stronghold defense battle like this one is a tough and tough battle where the opponent is not as strong as the opponent. Liu Yifei is also a junior brother.
Although the beating was painful and the losses were increasing little by little, it cannot be denied that it taught Liu Yifei a lot of "lessons" and made him notice many problems that he had not noticed before!
Simply improving military strength and armaments is not enough. If you want your own troops to exert greater power, you must also find various corresponding command talents...
As the ground army on the opposite side continues to approach, the city defense artillery fire with a longer range has begun to kill the opponent's ground army.
After the gryphons launched a full-scale attack, the main defensive force of the enemy's ground legions fell entirely on the fourth-level swordsmen.
Compared with other spearmen, archers, priests and the like, the fourth-level swordsman is definitely powerful, but the interesting question is that among the fourth-level creatures of all races, the swordsman is a main attack type of combat type.
Military branch!
According to Liu Yifei’s knowledge, the Swordsman can be transformed into Sword and Shield Royal Guard and Double Cross Swordsman later on.
The former focuses on balance. In addition to improving defense to a certain extent, it also has many more control skills and is capable of commanding battles in small teams.
Needless to say, the latter's double cross swordsman is an absolutely agile all-attack swordsman. The attack speed is extremely fast and the damage is quite high. It is a pure double-sword killing machine!
Coupled with the human race's "not afraid of death" characteristic, it is definitely a god of death on the battlefield!
But the problem now is...
Siege!
These main attacking swordsmen are somewhat embarrassed.
They do not have the ability to "break the city", which is a special skill that can only be mastered by the fourth-level high-level cannibal trolls of barbarians. Therefore, they cannot have obvious destructive power on city defense facilities. In addition, the city wall defense of the fifth-level fortress is also included.
Power... It is difficult for swordsmen to deal forced damage!
And when it comes to defense...
Fortunately, there was a team of priests behind him to support him, otherwise he would have been miserable. His death would have been miserable and not worth it!
The swordsmen braved the artillery fire of a large number of corpse witches on the city and began to advance towards the city wall!
Although the sacrifice is huge and the effect is small, a small effect is still an effect!
In particular, Liu Yifei did not arrange any ambush behind the outer wall (no choice, the troops were already stretched thin), so through the collapsed parts of the two outer walls, the swordsmen could launch focused attacks on the inner wall!
Although it is not as fast as a catapult, if tens of thousands of swordsmen can all pounce on it, they can produce a lot of damage in one minute, which can at least offset the attack effects of four or five catapults. After all, the swordsmen's attacks
The frequency is much faster
At the same time, the archers also began to rush into the shooting range and started shooting at the zombie witches at the top of the city!
The advantage of the defender is that after occupying the advantage of a high place, firstly, it can target the enemy's weak links from top to bottom, and secondly, it can attack for two or three rounds. The most important advantage is that,
The "female wall" above the city can effectively increase the opponent's shooting error rate. Unless it is a range attack stunt like the Corpse Witch's Death Cloud, at least a quarter of the attack will be blocked.
There are death clouds on the city. As soon as the city flashes, a black cloud with a diameter of one meter explodes on the ground, covering three or four surrounding units and draining blood like crazy!
In order to better support their own archers, the priests had to keep moving forward, and finally stepped into the shooting range of the city defense artillery fire.
Now Liu Yifei is not polite.
The durability of the defensive walls has been greatly reduced, but the turrets in the city still have firepower!
The main reason is that the opponent does not have a hero who can command the catapult, so the catapult does not have an advantage in range, and the hit rate is too low, so it gave up the option of focusing fire on the turret from the beginning, and instead began to storm the front wall.
A five-level fortress with a total of ten turrets!
This is incredible. After firing together, more than half of the giant blue fireballs exploded in the priest group!
These artillery fires ignore defense and are extremely lethal. It often only takes two concentrated shots to kill twenty or thirty priests standing close to each other in an instant.
Although the opponent's priest hero has ordered the priest group to separate as much as possible, it still cannot withstand the ravages of artillery fire. Such an instant kill is extremely fierce!
In particular, the bombardment of the soul artillery not only burned the opponent's flesh and bones, but even the soul was directly burned, and there was no possibility of resurrection at all!
The casualties among the priests continued to increase, and at the same time, the swordsmen who charged forward with the intention of breaking through the inner wall screamed again and again!
It is true that Liu Yifei did not set up any ambush between the inner and outer walls. But he was also insidious enough!
There are more than twenty tauren heroes accompanying him on the attack, and more than half of them are tauren warriors who prefer hand-to-hand combat. This group is definitely the best of Liu Yifei's hands!
Liu Yifei, along with Bomian and Milanknos, who couldn't fly and had little intelligence, stuffed these melee heroes between the two walls.
If there is an accident ahead, these heroes can quickly go into battle. And because they are small in number and highly mobile, they can also evacuate quickly if something happens. They only need to destroy some of the fast passages set up on the outside of the inner wall, and the enemy will not even think about it.
Kick the butts of these heroes and take advantage of the situation to attack the inner wall.
But when Liu Yifei discovered that there were two collapses in the outer wall, and the other party actually wanted to send swordsmen to break through the collapse and attack the inner wall...
Depend on!
Liu Yifei suddenly realized that an opportunity had come!!!
Melee combat! Swordsman! Low defense and weak HP! Advantage of the pass! There is no room to use the enemy’s numerical advantage!
And it’s sandwiched between two walls, so the space is small. Even a stone can’t hit it!
Isn't this the perfect environment for those vampires under my command to gain military merit?
God help him!
Therefore, while the opponent's swordsmen group was still advancing hard on the way, Liu Yifei had quietly ordered the vampire soldiers on standby in the city (the "soldiers" here means the players' own troops, who can withdraw from the battlefield space with them and retain all the troops).
Troops who earn military merits are also responsible for their own casualties. Once there is no "military merit exchange compensation" system, the danger is also great, and it is possible that all of them will be ruined.) All are transferred over. Just waiting for those swordsmen to fall into the tiger's mouth!
The screams of the Swordsmen Corps at this moment were exactly the screams of the Swordsmen Corps who had finally broken into the breach in the outer wall and were attacked head-on by the vampires!
Minotaur heroes are a very special neutral unit. Although they are intelligent relatives of the dark minotaur in the dungeon, in terms of power system, they are more life-type and the earth element that represents the earth.
The life-type power is reflected in the profession. The "intelligent group" among the tauren can easily find elven professions such as druids, while warrior-type heroes can easily master some spell-like combat skills of the earth element.
For example, "Earth Spirit Blessing", "Earth Prayer", "Earth Wall Shoulder Armor", etc. are all ranged combat skill buffs.
These area buffs that add defense or earth element resistance are simply too appetizing for vampires at this moment!
As a "stunt-type" mercenary, vampires' strength is actually ranked last among creatures of the same level and quality.
But as the saying goes, one trick can be used everywhere!
Just a blood-sucking special effect and the blood-sucking resurrection special effect after mid-level are enough for them to dominate!
As long as a vampire survives the threshold of the first and second grades in the early stages, the advantage in legion battles will be greater in the later stages!
For example, right now, after seizing the defensive advantage of the pass, the vampires have been given a buff that enhances their defense. They are not afraid of fighting the swordsmen on the opposite side for blood, and they are just killing them head-on without risking their lives!
One-on-one, due to the higher level, level, and defense, vampires take full advantage, plus the resurrection effects of fourth-level vampires...
Finished
On the surface, there are only two breaches, but they are both guarded by vampires of the third and fourth grades, especially those high-level vampires of the fourth grade. They are of a higher level. What’s even more frustrating is that the equipment is so good!
Although the number of this army is only a few hundred, the equipment they wear is completely better than that of the players!
All are excellent armors and weapons!
These are all armors that Liu Yifei spent a lot of money to buy, and many of them are suits. What Liu Yifei is looking for are the kind of pure-sensitivity warrior-type suits that can enhance the attack power or defense power, further enhancing the vampire's survivability or killing power.
After all, the lethality is higher. It also increases the blood-sucking capacity of vampires, and also improves their resurrection ability!
There are only about 300 fourth-level vampires like this, but their levels are high. They are all above level 80, and their attributes are nearly twice as strong as those of players at the same level today (vampires are basically level 4, and the current players are all level 2.
The difference is not big. Moreover, these are all level 4, which have been improved, so their technical attributes are much stronger), their equipment is good, and they will not make mistakes if they are commanded by a tauren hero. They are even more indestructible...
With such a "fearless" force guarding two breaches no more than a few meters wide, the result is obvious.
Of course, if that was all, the swordsmen group wouldn't be crying like ghosts and wolves howling when they were killed.
What really made them almost collapse was the blow from the city defense system!
In the strategic mode, the main means of city defense are those poor city defense turrets.
It may be useful in the early and middle stages of the battlefield, but in the later stages, when the number of various troops reaches hundreds or thousands, it is too meaningless to kill only a few thousand points in one round (here I am talking about the strategic map in the game)
, because the turrets on the strategic map can also be built and upgraded. If it is a stand-alone version, it will be even lower, only more than a hundred points)
But it's different on the world map.
Stones, for example, are used to repair city defenses during wartime. They are relatively important strategic resources and cannot be easily consumed.
But for things like wood, it would be too unreliable to spend a lot of time trying to get early ballistas or catapults during wartime. Moreover, the opponent's catapults are also very likely to hit the craft hall in the city.
Once the craft hall is destroyed, things that have taken a lot of time to create will be instantly ecstatic even if they are 99% completed.
At this time, it would be very effective to turn all the excess wood in the city into "wood" through the craft hall!
Not only is the production speed fast, but the output is large!
Since the beginning of the war, the city's fourth-level craft hall has been rushing to make these wood!
The skeletons, who were agile and agile, were all assigned to build the city wall, while the corpses, who were strong but relatively slow, were assigned to carry all kinds of frontline supplies and built wood.
At this moment, the extra vacant positions on the city wall (actually they should have been filled, but the tombs came out too late, so there was no other way, so there were not many corpse witches refreshed, so there was always room left) were all crowded in a row.
The platoon held together the dead body of a huge five- to six-meter-long tree!
These corpses are only slightly useful in hand-to-hand combat. They are absolutely "waste" at the moment, worse than skeletons. Although the city is constantly being attacked by stones from the opponent, the corpses are not afraid of death at all.
The wood was thrown out to hit the swordsmen troops gathered outside the city!
A huge piece of wood five to six meters long and thirty to forty centimeters thick was smashed out from the top of the city that was more than ten meters high...
Good guy!
Even if the lethality is not as good as throwing stones, it is definitely shocking enough!
The power of Tsumugi is not as terrifying as throwing stones. It is a completely crushing and destructive attack. However, the effect of Mumu's attack is also very obvious, especially when falling from a high altitude. The additional force is very large, and there is a great chance that the target being attacked will be destroyed.
Fall into a coma or even suffer serious injuries and fractures!
In many classic battle cases, the weaker party has used some strange means to continuously defeat the originally strong opponent!
One of the most effective points is to "maliciously increase the number of wounded in the enemy team"!
By injuring but not killing, we continuously increase the medical load on the enemy team. Does it cost medicine to treat these wounded? Does it cost food to feed them?
In ancient times, these were very serious questions!
And another point
Since they are our own comrades, there is no reason to abandon them. Therefore, in order to take care of the wounded, the marching speed of the troops will inevitably be reduced, which greatly limits the mobility!
And if we allocate our forces to pursue the enemy... then the strong man's own strength advantage will be diminished, and he will be more likely to be defeated by the opponent one by one!
And the last thing…
If there are too many seriously injured patients in the army at once, listening to the miserable wails of those comrades all day long will definitely greatly affect the morale of the remaining healthy troops, shake their strength on the battlefield, and affect their overall performance.
.....
Although the game "Invincible Heroes OL" strives to be realistic, it can never be so realistic and detailed.
But the problem is that the game itself also has its own settings!
When there are more and more swordsmen units that survived being injured by fallen trees, especially those seriously injured swordsmen, a funny problem arises!
That is, the swordsman in the rear wants to continue moving forward, but the road is blocked!
After all, these are just mercenaries. Their intelligence and battlefield judgment are on the same level as wild monsters, and they are incomparable to spirit-level heroes.
The order they received was to "attack the gap in the city wall", but when they were blocked by their own comrades...but their comrades were not dead, they were stupid!
They all froze on the spot. Although they had a murderous look on their faces, they did not move at all!
In this way, the enemy's numerical advantage is further offset. Even in the gap, it is simply the vampires of the third and fourth grades who are "bullying the few with more"! This is definitely an abnormal situation!
If a spirit-level hero is here, they will definitely bypass these injured friendly units, or if that is not possible, they will either drag them out of the battle and move them to a safe area to wait for treatment from behind. Or they will simply kill them on the spot ruthlessly. Anyway, we cannot delay them because of them.
The entire battle!
But the problem is that there are no highly intelligent hero commanders here at all!
And expect these swordsmen to judge for themselves...
Forget it
Is it okay to let them forcefully attack our own units, but let them "transfer the wounded"?
Mercenaries simply don't have the ability to deal with such details. At most, they can only run to the location where the wounded should be transferred.
A small number of swordsmen were let go to be slaughtered by vampires, while those in the middle were constantly being hit by tall trees from high places, and were constantly hindering more of their comrades in the rear. Once the "road was overly congested", the vampires would be behind again.
Under the command of the human hero, third-level vampires who are not suitable for front-line military glory are sent to harvest a group of wounded soldiers to earn some military glory and make the "road smoother" by the way.
A fourth-level swordsman!
Intermediate units have a lot of military merits.
As for the large number of swordsmen crowded together outside like an accident scene...
That would be even more tragic!
Since the city defense turrets are set up in a ring to prevent attacks from enemies on either side, there are some restrictions on the external range. The two turrets on both sides cannot reach the position of the priests in front, so they focus on this area and fire fiercely!
This is a terrible killing!
With a bang, a huge blue flame with a diameter of several meters exploded in the group of swordsmen, which was enough to engulf the bodies of more than thirty swordsmen in an instant, and completely burn them to ashes!
The remaining swordsmen in the surrounding circle will also suffer strong splash damage and continuous burning damage!
Even if there are tens of thousands of swordsmen in the corps, they can't stand it if they are killed in such a way!!!
It is precisely because of this three-dimensional all-round attack from the front, middle and back that the swordsmen screamed incessantly. It was like a hell on earth and there were terrible casualties!
Within three minutes of the battle, the tens of thousands of swordsmen here had shrunk by half, and even alerted the lively Drane who was fighting in the sky!
Drane's entire attention has been attracted by the fierce exchange of fire between the air corps. After the opponent gradually retreated into the cover of the anti-aircraft fire, the sacrifices of both sides continued to intensify!
Especially after the firepower of the crossbow car is concentrated, the intersecting shooting of several giant crossbows can easily "tear" the griffin's body. In addition, the griffin's "revivability" is getting lower and lower, and the griffin's "revivability" is getting lower and lower.
Attrition is getting more serious!
The city defense artillery fire was also very controlled. Once it was discovered that the air regiments were gathered too densely to prepare for counterattack, they would immediately throw two artillery shells at them, not giving Drane much chance to counterattack. Therefore, both sides were completely determined at this moment.
The stage of fighting each other with bayonets!
Although Drane is confident of consuming the opponent alive!
But as he watched his gryphon army falling like rain, and the screams filling the sky surrounded by darkness, the anger in his heart continued to build up!
Under this situation, he had to keep an eye on the enemy's Bone Dragon troops headed by Gregory. How could he be distracted from taking care of the ground legions?
However, the loss of the Swordsmen Regiment was too serious, and the priest hero could no longer hold on any longer, so he urgently contacted his lord to ask whether he should continue to attack or withdraw the Swordsmen Regiment immediately.
Suddenly receiving the "Phantom Sound Technique" contact from the other party, Drane was even more shocked. After a closer look, he discovered that the swordsmen group on the ground had suffered so many casualties that he almost fell from the sky out of breath!
If he had known that the enemy had plans there, he would have withdrawn the swordsmen group long ago!
If you want to reduce the loss of the Swordsmen, you must either support the Angel troops, or use the Chaplain Corps to share the firepower and step up the treatment.
They will also be attacked on a large scale by the corpse witches on the city walls).
But whether it's an angel or a priest who attacks, they will definitely become the opponent's point of fire...
And if you want to withdraw the swordsmen group, it will be a big problem. If you are chased and killed by the opponent, the losses will definitely be huge...
Deleon's eyes were filled with anger, but there was nothing he could do about it. The area was really bad, and it was completely exposed to the opponent's city defense artillery fire, ballistas, and the fire coverage area of long-range troops. Not to mention the priests and angels, even if he went up
...That is definitely a joke on your own life!
Gritting his teeth, Drane knew that the only way to do this was to use the ultimate trick to press the bottom of the box!
"...The Lord said there should be light, and there is light in this world! I want to praise the Lord and praise the name of the Lord
The Lord said that only when there is love can there be warmth in this world! I want to praise the Lord and praise the Lord for His kindness.
The Lord said there must be order, so that there will be safety in this world! I want to praise the Lord and praise the majesty of the Lord.
I pray here for the Lord’s favor, grant me your name, grant me your kindness, grant me your majesty!
Become the Lord’s servant and recruit the Lord’s loyal servants!
Show up here!
It means that we use our light to bring down the enemy's destruction!
Great Light Summoning Technique!!!"
Drane's proficiency in reciting the long prayer was also very fast, and the huge light mana gathered around him in an instant!
The next moment, a beam of light that seemed to penetrate the sky and the earth completely tore open the thick dark sky surrounding the battlefield, as if a huge sword of light had pierced the dark sky!
The moment this sharp sword of light shattered and exploded, four huge light groups that looked like small suns suddenly descended around Drane!
The next moment, four voices sounded in unison!
"In response to your call, we, the devout servants of the Lord of Light, appear here! Grant you light and subjugate the enemy to destruction!!!" (To be continued...)
