Chapter 73 A Bloody Battle to the End
I was really tired this time. I didn’t arrange anything during my rest time, and I really didn’t have anything to plan! The third city wall is almost the same size as a normal city. When the remaining tens of thousands of people move up, the defense line has basically come out. As for things like strategies, I really have no choice. After all, I am not a general. Combat command is not my specialty. I am better at commanding task forces!
The game started at 12 o'clock, and I rested outside until 10:30 before going online. The reason for coming up early was to simply arrange the general defense issues. First, let the Eye of Hell concentrate its firepower, and first knock out the opponent's high-level backbone. The thunder cannon is basically useless. It's too powerful. I don't want to blow up a few more big holes in the city. If monsters get into the dungeon through those holes, it will be even more troublesome!
The next step is to arrange the final equipment use with City Tree. The magic crystal cannon and most of the ballistae are on the two outer city walls. Now the second city wall has actually become an enemy-occupied area. If the cannons inside the fort are raised, they will only be destroyed one by one! Fortunately, there are still almost 0 heavy ballistas left on the third city wall. This is our last heavy weapon!
The warships in the port originally wanted to use it, but due to the height of the city wall, the cannons on the warships actually did not have a good shooting angle! What if we use a large angle to shoot...? You also know how strong the sea breeze is. I can't guarantee where the cannonball will land. If it falls on the city wall, my guard plan will be completely ruined! After all considerations, it is better not to use naval gun support!
It was relatively early to assign the task. Just after eleven o'clock, I came to the top of the Spirit Gathering Tower again and asked Hell's Eye to help me look at the command post. I scanned so that I didn't see the headquarters. The camp was demolished! I quickly scanned the monsters in front of the formation, and I actually found the bull monster, but only the one with the sword was left, and the other one was probably dead! What makes me strange is that although the bull monster is standing in front of the team, there is another guy standing even further forward than it. Isn't Manniu the leader? But they have level 999! Then the guy in front is not level 1000, right?
"You came so early?" Eagle suddenly appeared behind me.
"I just came up not long ago! What time is it?"
"Eleven twenty, everyone will be here soon! Are you sure about today's defense?"
I shook my head: "To be honest, I don't know! There is almost no difference in strength between us and the enemy. There are many monsters and we are of a higher level. Large defensive weapons cannot be used anymore. The victory or defeat can only depend on people. Our chance of winning is only Number five to five!”
"Don't be so depressed!" Eagle patted my shoulder hard. "Look at this city! It was built with everyone's hands! Can we give it up? Are you willing?"
"It's not a question of unwillingness to part with it! This is a question of strength! You don't need to provoke me. My emotional system is underdeveloped, and sometimes I am even indifferent. Many things are only analyzed objectively. Although most of the time this is good, but like now In this way, your encouragement will be useless!"
"Hahahaha! You are so interesting. I have known you for so long and I haven't realized that you are such a strange person!"
"So long?" I felt better and joked with him. "Calculate how much time you spend with me?"
Ying thought for a while and said: "It seems there are really not many! Are you a guy who is born to be unsociable? That guy A Wei said you have autism!"
"Tch! If you believe what he says, prepare to be sold!"
"Hahahaha!" The two of us laughed together.
"What's so funny? Tell me and let me have fun!" Rose and Bailing appeared on the city wall at the same time!
"Nothing!" I quickly changed the subject: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties in today's battle. The situation where only NPCs were lost like the previous two days will not happen! The battle only lasts 5 hours, and it takes 6 hours for the death to go online. In other words, if you die, you will no longer be able to participate in the siege battle. I won’t be able to take care of you when the battle starts, so be careful!"
Rose punched me. "It's not a separation between life and death! Don't say it so bleakly, okay? By the way, when I just went online, I suddenly thought of a good plan!"
"what's the plan?"
"Aren't there many warships in the port?"
I interrupted her before she could finish. "I've thought of it a long time ago, but it's so far away and the angle is not good, so it's hard to guarantee shooting accuracy!"
"Silly! Let them get closer if they are too far away!"
"near?"
Eagle suddenly understood: "You mean to move the boat to the shore and use it as a fort?"
"Did I hear you correctly? Bring the boat up?"
Rose said: "Yes, that's what I think! The Biling cannot be moved, but the battleships of your pirate brothers can be used! With your three-headed dragon plus Ziyue's sky fire, the four-headed dragon Because the warships should be able to be moved. A warship has hundreds of cannons after all, so it will be much easier for us to defend it by bringing two or three ships up!"
"Good idea!" I quickly called Lucky and the others over, but unfortunately Ziyue was not online! Fortunately, I have many magic pets, and the three-headed dragon plus Xiaofeng and Xiaolongnu can also move it! It's a pity that we didn't have enough time. We only moved 5 warships before the war started, but we still had more than a thousand cannons. Now I feel more relieved!
At twelve o'clock, the system announcement rang on time: "The Essinger City Defense Battle has begun. This battle will last 5 hours! I hope you will work hard!"
As soon as the announcement was over, the 200,000 troops under the city immediately swarmed towards the city wall. Our cannons and ballistae didn't take a break either, and they immediately started making loud noises! The firing noise of artillery is relatively loud, and the smoke is also terrible. The city wall immediately became covered with spruce fog. Fortunately, Essinger was at the beach and the wind was relatively strong, so the smoke dispersed after a while!
The third city wall is only an inner wall, not as high as the first two walls. At a height of more than 200 meters, many high-level monsters can actually climb up on their own! The battle on the city wall broke out immediately, and Anye Xunshou was the first to rush to the front line and fight with the enemy. The Demon Spirit Knights were blocking the defensive gaps from behind. They would immediately feel the breach wherever it was breached and immediately push back the enemy and hand over this section of the city wall to Dark Night Guard.
Because today's monster levels are generally relatively high, I transferred the players to the ships as gunners. These ships were originally owned by the pirate boys. Although it was confirmed after the war that they had not become the monsters attacking the city, they refused to do so. Participate in the defense of the city and say that the system does not allow it! But at least they left their ship to me!
As soon as the battle started, I started to pay attention to the guy standing in front of the bull monster. The thing that was suspected to be the level 1000 boss was also a minotaur, but it was twice as tall as a bull monster, and it also had a scary amount of muscles on its body. The most terrible thing is that this thing is holding a giant sledgehammer in its hand. That thing seems to weigh a ton, but in this guy's hand it is as weightless as if it is made of cotton!
Although he stood at the front of the team, when the battle started, he did not rush to the front but walked directly towards the city gate! I immediately realized what he was trying to do. "Plague, Lucky, Tank, Scot...! All come with me!"
That guy is holding such a big hammer in his hand. Is it just a battering ram? Although the gate on the third city wall is made of pure steel and is much stronger than the one on the second city wall, it cannot withstand repeated blows! Besides, the hammer is so big!
It was too late, so I jumped directly from the city wall. With Lucky in mind, they rushed into the city gate. Two giant dragons and tanks pushed against the door. I and Scott quickly went up to help. Crystal, Ling, Aina, Amynis and Xiao Longnu also followed in. Crystal added a layer of defensive strength on the door, Ling added a damage reflection, A Di Na directly used an ice shield to seal the city door in the ice, and Xiao Longnu finally added a layer of damage to those of us who put in the effort. Strengthened. Emenes doesn't have the right magic, so she can only help me recruit the dark cavalry to help with the door! My snow demons, under the guidance of Auntina, froze the ground outside the city gate. The ground is full of ice. It’s hard to see how hard you smash the door!
The Eye of Hell also noticed something was wrong here, and it immediately launched a concentrated attack on the Minotaur, but unfortunately, this guy's hammer could reflect the attack of the Eye of Hell, and could not hurt it at all!
The bull head still walked into the city gate hole, and the ice on the ground did not hinder its movement. But with one hammer, the ice on the ground was gone. Then the monster picked up the hammer and smashed it down on the city gate.
boom! The huge impact was very clear through the door, and we could all feel the door shaking! boom! Again! A tiny crack appeared on the ice next to my face! boom! The third attack! The cracks in the ice expand further! boom! The fourth attack! Accompanied by the sound of pattering, the fragile ice layer finally turned into a ground full of broken ice slag! boom! The fifth attack! The door shook violently, and the dragons and I were shaken away from the door panel, but we immediately pushed up again!
boom! The sixth attack! The force was even greater than last time, we were all knocked back, and my blood actually decreased! What kind of power is this? He even beat me to death through the door! The soldiers in the back row immediately followed to help hold the door open. The subsequent collisions became more and more ordinary. The Minotaur kept bombarding the city gate. We were knocked back half a step every time, but luckily we were able to hold the door open! The steel gate has been smashed into a lot of dents, but despite the serious disguise, it can still hold on!
About half an hour later, the continuous banging sounds suddenly stopped, and the monster stopped smashing the door. I guess the monster gave up the idea of breaking through the door, but still did not dare to leave the door. I asked Scott to lead the monster first. The Spirit Knight went out to help Vader guard the city wall, and by the way, he helped me see if the monster had really left the city gate. As soon as the Demon Spirit Knight left the city gate, he heard a loud bang from the gate, and the entire gate flew out together with me and my demon pets! A grinning Minotaur appeared at the city gate!
My legs were pinned down by the three-ton pure steel door. I wanted to run but couldn't! Lucky and Plague immediately came up to help me open the door, but the Minotaur cunningly kicked the door shut!
"Ah!" The sudden huge pressure on my legs instantly made me collapse. The feeling of my legs being crushed into a pulp was not fun. Even if this was a game and the pain was greatly reduced, it was still unbearable!
Ling reacted quickly. My legs were turned into mud from above the knees. She grabbed my shoulders and pulled me out without hesitation! The Minotaur obviously knew who I was, and he rushed up immediately. Plague and Luck stood in front of me without hesitation, and Scott also wanted to rush forward, but I stopped him: "Don't come over, you can't be resurrected after you die. Go call Vida and tell him that the city gate is lost." !”
Scott turned around bitterly and took the other nine demon knights to notify Scott.
The Plague and Lucky brothers fought with the Minotaur in the city gate cave. Unfortunately, the level difference was too big. Although they relied on the strong strength of the dragon clan to barely suppress the Minotaur's progress, failure was only a matter of time!
I only mean the door opening! "Beetle, go up and help!" 1 million crystal magic beetles poured in from all directions, and the city gate was immediately surrounded by black beetles.
Opening the Star Pupil, I can see the Minotaur's health going down! Mice are afraid of cats, cats are afraid of tigers, tigers are afraid of elephants, but elephants are afraid of mice! The level 1000 boss, the Minotaur Troll, is actually afraid of the level 1000 beetle! At first I thought this guy was a tauren, but Xing Tong's display just now said it was a tauren, which should actually be a branch of the great devil. But a good tiger can't fight a pack of wolves. One million beetles blocked this big demon-level monster in the city gate and couldn't get out!
Through the female bugs on the back of my neck, I can feel that the number of beetles is declining very quickly. Although the Minotaur is not feeling well, my beetles are really dying in large numbers. Fortunately, their intelligence does not even know what fear is. , even though so many died, they still kept attacking the Minotaur. When the monsters outside the city wall saw that the gate was breached, they were ready to rush in through the gate. Unexpectedly, the gate was suddenly blocked again, so they began to attack from the city wall again.
The injured me was quickly cured by Rose who came to inquire. The beetles helped me get out the broken magic dragon suit from the city gate. After putting it on again, the suit quickly returned to a brand new state. Since the last resurrection of Phoenix blood, the self-healing ability of the magic dragon suit has become more and more powerful!
The battle lasted for a long time, and the situation on Vader's side was also tight. Although Scott told him that the city gate was broken, he really couldn't draw out a single soldier! Scott had no choice but to run back and want to help. I drove Scott directly into the Juling Tower. "If an enemy rushes in, you will defend the door to the death, but as long as no enemy comes in, you are absolutely not allowed to come out!" Scott has been following me for so long, I no longer just regard him as an NPC, I don't Hope he dies!
I drove Scott into the Juling Tower to guard the political hall, but they still rushed out impulsively. I really had no choice but to turn off their functions! This is a new ability after the system update. As long as this function is activated, the designated magic pet or demon servant will disappear in place, but this is not a space, it just simply disappears. If you summon them again, they will appear, but the location where they appear will not change, which is equivalent to an immovable pet space. In order to limit its use, this space is set up so that every time the function of turning off the magic pet or demon servant must be at least three hours before summoning again, this time they are turned off, and they cannot come out until the battle is over!
Although the Demon Spirit Knight has been temporarily sealed by me, there seems to be no problem on my side for a short period of time. The door is still tightly sealed by the beetle. Although the beetle dies quickly, I still have 1 million. According to You can't finish it in an hour at this speed!
The battle continued like this until 4:10, and the monsters were still unable to break into the gate. There are only 30,000 beetles left at the city gate, and 970,000 beetles have died. The entire city gate is covered with blue slime and shiny carapace fragments. The minotaur in the city gate still has a little bit of health left, so he probably died before the beetle died! In fact, the beetles did not only attack the Minotaur during this period, but many monsters behind it were also affected. Although the city gate is full of beetle remains, there are actually a lot of monster bones underneath these things. These beetles have always eaten the enemies clean!
Ouch! With a painful scream, the Minotaur's attributes on the star pupil disappeared, which means it died, but I only have more than 10,000 beetles left! The boss died but did not let the monsters retreat. The monsters behind rushed in with their remains on the ground. Although the remaining 10,000 beetles continued to resist, the number was insufficient and the effect could not be exerted. All the beetles were quickly killed! The excited monster rushed in howling.
Lucky and Plague, who had rested for a while, immediately rushed up to block the city gate, but there were too many monsters, and their resistance was only a drop in the bucket and had no actual effect at all! Seeing that Plague and Luck were forced back, I could only send the cavalry up to try to outnumber them! With the cooperation of the cavalry, Plague and Luck finally drove the enemy back to the city gate cave.
Suddenly a black shadow fell in front of me. It turned out to be Vader. I looked up at the city wall above. Several monsters were standing by the wall howling. Vader was defeated by several monsters working together! The monsters seemed not to let us go. They immediately jumped down from above. I quickly pulled Vida out and was almost crushed by the monster!
Almost at the same time as the monsters landed, the city gate fell again. Although the cavalry had a large number of people, their level was too low after all, and they all died soon. Luck and plague alone cannot guard the city gate! The tank suddenly flew over and knocked back the monster at the city gate. Then, it climbed into the city gate hole by itself. I could clearly see its extended barrel. He wants to use magic crystal to bombard him, but he is inside the city gate!
boom! With the earth-shaking loud noise, rocks flew across the sky, and the entire city gate collapsed. Several monsters that had just jumped down to pursue Vader were also affected and blown up. The monster standing in front of us actually blocked the shock wave for us, so Vader and I survived. At this time, a huge gap appeared in the city wall, and the city gate had turned into rubble. There were no bones left of the tank, and the corpse of the plague was lying under the wall next to it, and there were many monster corpses around it. Lucky struggled to crawl out from under Plague, and Plague protected his brother at the last moment!
The monsters and guards far away from the door got up from the ground and started fighting again. The city gate was gone, and the monsters completely poured into the inner city. The battle has completely turned into a hand-to-hand battle. Our team was continuously compressed and retreated. Soon we were 'forced' to the base of the Juling Tower. There was a height difference of more than thirty meters. It was not as good as the city wall, but it was okay. Use it as a barrier to resist!
The only players around me were Ying, Daguofan, Shura Ziyi and two unknown girls. The rest were all killed! Vader also died on the way to the Soul Gathering Tower just now. Among the five death knights, only Sith is left. Because she is female, the other death knights take special care of her, so she is the only one who survives. Now! I didn’t see any of the 50 Blood Lords. They were probably all killed! The losses of other arms were also heavy, with less than a thousand remaining troops! All my summoned creatures were killed in battle, not a single one was left, and there were no beetles at the city gate. Only Ling, Phantom and Yeying are left among the demon pets. As for the urban warfare weapons, it seems that only the Eye of Hell is still working, and the others have no possibility of use! Now this is all our combat power, and it can be said that we are at the end of the road!
Although we were almost beaten badly, the monsters weren't much better. The guards' desperate resistance allowed the monsters to almost pave their way forward with corpses. There are now about a thousand monsters left, all with levels above 800, and all of them are injured, including the level 999 one. The bull monster is the current boss of the monsters!
The time is already four forty, the last twenty minutes, the last two thousand soldiers, I really don’t know whether this defensive battle can be successful!
