As a large amount of gunpowder was thrown into the battlefield, the battle to defend the second line of defense finally began. Facing the pressure of an army of 500,000, the coalition forces showed an unusually calm attitude. They had experienced countless times of marches in which they were outnumbered. Their temperament has been fully formed. When facing enemies several times their own, they have learned how to discover each other's weaknesses and attack them.
The stone wall of the second line of defense was very strong and tall. Archers occupied the city wall, and a hail of arrows poured down, taking away the lives of thousands of Burning Legion demons. In order to maximize the effect of gunpowder, Chu Tian adopted the strategy of staying behind closed doors and letting archers shoot at the front positions to slow down the Burning Legion's attack. []
Azzinos advanced very resolutely, and the distance between them was not long. Although the gunpowder falling from the sky was very lethal, the abundance of troops still made Azzinos decide to let go and fight, trying to break through the second line of defense. , directly marching into the clan territory, giving up the great opportunity before, and the anger in Azzinoth's heart continued to rise.
Battles such as defensive battles are usually tense but boring. The tension is because you are always thinking about the changes in the battle situation, and the boringness is in the early stage. Most of the defense is completed by long-range combat forces, and the others are more focused on doing well. Prepare.
The second line of defense only relies on a high mountain range. The pass here is built into a towering stone wall. The Burning Legion can choose to take a detour, but this low mountain range stretches for dozens of miles. It just happens to flank the tribe. The roads in the area are blocked, and it can be said to be the most suitable place for defense among the surrounding terrain.
The catapult does not project in any order. It only changes the distance according to the changes of the guard flags on the stone wall. The second line of defense has the largest amount of gunpowder in the clan. Naturally, there is no need to save when using it at this moment.
However, the large amount of smoke and dust still caused some trouble for the coalition forces. Unfortunately today, the defending coalition forces happened to catch up with the headwind. The smoke and dust were blown back by the wind, carrying heat and sparks. It not only blocked the line of sight, but also made our own eyes very uncomfortable. , causing the threat of archers to be greatly reduced.
The archers led by Duran Double Blade constantly changed their positions and concentrated their shooting. Although they were still able to hit the demons of the Burning Legion, they were no longer able to hit them in a targeted manner. After more arrows were shot out, they just fell behind the smoke. on the land.
After this situation lasted for a while, under the cover of smoke and dust, the Burning Legion had rushed under the stone wall. Chutian ordered the archers to move collectively to the other end of the stone wall, so that they could shoot freely at any time to attack the Burning Legion.
At the same time, the melee troops had already rushed up the stone wall to block it, preventing the Burning Legion from climbing up the stone wall and rushing into the defense line. It took less than an hour for the Burning Legion to rush to the stone wall with a fearless charge. under the wall.
There is a city gate under the stone wall, but it has been closed early. This is also the key defense place of the coalition forces. Even the open space in front of the city gate has begun to be taken care of by the flag bearers commanding catapults. What surprised Chu Tian was the strategy chosen by the Burning Legion. It turned out that it was not a storming of the city gate, but a stone wall
Although the quality of the stone wall was good and it was carefully supervised by the dwarves, it was just an ordinary stone after all. The Burning Legion attacked the stone wall desperately with their weapons. Although it was quickly killed by the coalition forces, the body was still intact. Stacked under the stone wall, it became a stepping stone for those who came after.
A glimmer of light flashed in Chu Tian's eyes. The stupidest way is the best way. Aisinoth has five times the strength of the coalition forces. He doesn't care about the damage of the troops at all, so he is planning to use the troops that have never been used before. The human sea tactic has been used, trying to drown the second line of defense with corpses.
And looking at the demons of the Burning Legion, they seem to have no fear of death at all. These demons who have followed Azzinoth for a long time have long been accustomed to and are ready to dedicate their lives to any decision of Azzinoth.
"It seems that the Burning Legion is not all idiots" Chu Tian whispered, while looking back at the Blue Dragon King Malygos.
After receiving Chu Tian's hint, the giant dragons rose into the sky at the same time, but they did not attack the nearest enemy immediately. Instead, they chose the place with the thickest smoke. Dozens of blue dragons released elemental magic at the same time, covering a wide range of skills. In those areas, according to Aisinoth's previous strategy, the areas with the thickest smoke are the places where they can hide their deeds best. Unfortunately, Chutian's most powerful aerial power is still the dragon clan.
Dozens of elemental magic poured down, and the Burning Legion's tight formation since the beginning of the war was suddenly rushed out of a large pit. The aftermath caused the surrounding demons to scatter and fall, giving Chu Tian a very good opportunity.
The air force had already assembled at the moment when the dragon soared into the sky. Their target was the rear of the Burning Legion. Half a million troops were covering a large area of ??darkness. Although there was room in the middle, only changes in the rear formation would cause the front to move. of turmoil.While the air force was dispatched, the ground troops were also dispatched. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the city gate was opened and the Burning Legion temporarily stopped, the ground troops rushed out and cleaned up the corpses in front of the stone wall. They did not attack directly. The enemy not far away immediately picked up the demon corpses that had accumulated a lot and threw them away from a distance.
Thousands of corpses were thrown out at the same time, instantly forming a defensive wall made of corpses, while the coalition forces quickly returned to the back of the stone wall to defend the city wall.
Chutian¡¯s aerial power is not much. Except for the dozens of dragons responsible for elemental strikes, there are only more than a hundred dragons available. Including the black bats Azshara has conquered, there are a total of about 500 dragons.
However, these five hundred units can carry a large amount of gunpowder and throw it indiscriminately towards the places where the demons are most numerous. There is no such thing as an air force in this world, even if Azzinoth wants to resist it by projecting beasts and demons as before. , but this time the Air Force's flying height was beyond their reach.
Chu Tian was not worried. Two rounds of bombings had already caused some changes in the seemingly solid formation of the Burning Legion. The five dragon kings were all very healthy. The current power was definitely not something that Azzinoth's half a million troops could withstand. of.
Originally, Azzinoth's mission was to delay time. Now that they entered the positional battle, they realized why the previous two million demon troops were repelled and almost all were killed or injured. The number of this coalition army was really small, but the fighting methods were excellent. Diversity still impressed Azzinoth.
But since the task is to delay time, instead of circling the entire continent, it is better to attack directly. If there is a chance to break through the stone wall, then the tribes behind can contribute.
Azzinoth was cautious, but he was also an opportunist. Under the chaos at the moment, he who had been silent suddenly sped up. The light of the Blade of Azzinoth flashed with the figure, as if it had turned into a streak. Green lightning, and his destination is the city gate under the stone wall
