Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts
Chapter 794 Siege
It didn't take long for the two sides to look at each other from a distance inside and outside the checkpoint.
The garrison led by Wood lined up on the city wall, squatting half-crouched by the wall, with only one head exposed. The city wall was only a hundred meters long, and these dozens of people could not cover it, so they looked from a distance.
They look sparse, and if you count carefully, you will find that not everyone is on the city wall.
On the other side, everyone on the attacking side hid behind the command post a hundred meters away, seemingly to avoid enemy detection. Only Percy came to the front and used binoculars to spy on the movements of the defenders.
When Percy returned to his teammates, he could only shake his head helplessly and said, "There isn't much useful information. It's completely unclear what the layout is on the city wall and behind it."
"How about using a broomstick to investigate from the air?" Harry tightened the broomstick in his hand and asked tentatively.
"Inappropriate..." Percy shook his head, "Have you forgotten the anti-aircraft weapons used by the other side? Moreover, they also have their own air force. If they take off rashly, they will only be used as a target."
"Then let's try a frontal attack first." Neville suggested, "But we have to be careful about the enemy laying mines in front of the city wall and the lava shells. If those things are thrown out from behind the city wall, it will be difficult for us to guard against them."
"Yeah." Percy nodded, "So for the first wave of attacks, we should choose a low-power solution as much as possible, so..."
Percy called everyone to gather around and ordered, "In the first wave of attack, the frontal troops will be divided into three routes, and they will attack the city walls and gates at the same time. The air troops will patrol in the sky. Look for opportunities by yourself. Don't show off."
"In addition, this time we will not use giant monsters to assist in the attack, so as not to sacrifice ourselves in the mine array. At the same time, the troops must remember to keep distance. With such a large front, the enemy's artillery cannot completely cover it."
"Remember, everyone must give priority to protecting the Transfiguration Team. Once they reach the city wall, let them try to make holes in the wall first, or create ladders or ropes to climb the city wall." Percy arranged in an orderly manner.
In order to overcome the level in front of him, Percy had already adjusted the composition of his troops in advance and asked all wizards who knew level 3 transformation to form a special transformation team.
In addition, members with high flying skills were arranged to form an air force. Apparently after experiencing the first stage of the battle, the attacker's tactics have become more mature and sophisticated.
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison and immediately took action.
Soon, there was movement outside the level, and dozens of wizards divided into three groups and charged against the city wall.
At the same time, ten broomsticks flew up in the sky, tentatively approaching the checkpoint.
Faced with the posture of a large army pressing against the enemy, the city wall seemed particularly silent. The wizard beside the wall still only had half of his head exposed, and showed no additional reaction at all.
"Harry, can you see any useful information from above?" Faced with such a strange level, Percy felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but ask the air force.
"Everything is normal." Harry, who had been promoted to the captain of the air force, replied honestly. "The people on the opposite side were indeed squatting by the wall. Except for a few anti-aircraft scatter cannons, I didn't see any strange weapons or props."
"Strange...are they planning to rely solely on wizards to fight?"
Percy watched his troops rush close to the city wall, but the minefield he originally envisioned did not appear. Even when everyone rushed to the wall, the enemies on the level showed no intention of counterattack.
The wizards who arrived safely under the city wall were also a little baffled as to why their opponents didn't even make any move to obstruct them.
However, they didn't have time to think so much at this time, and the members of the transformation team in the crowd immediately took action.
They first tried to cast a spell on the city wall to see if they could break a hole directly with transfiguration.
But as soon as they finished chanting the curse, they noticed something was wrong. There was magic flowing on the city wall itself!
"Not good! Be careful..."
The transfiguration team that discovered the anomaly was preparing to give an early warning, but it was already too late.
Everyone saw that the solid stone wall in front of them suddenly started to squirm like a liquid, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a row of large stone hands, which the wizard smashed down on the attackers under the wall.
"Split into pieces!"
Faced with the unexpected situation in front of them, the attacking wizards reacted very quickly. Several senior students quickly cast spells and smashed the stone palm into pieces before the giant hand could be struck.
But not everyone reacted so quickly. There were still many young wizards who were hit by the big transformed hands that suddenly appeared. Needless to say, their results turned into white light and were resurrected.
At the same time, after the stone wall changed, the structure inside the city wall was gradually revealed. The level was divided into two floors, with a large number of solid stone pillars and walls in the middle, dividing each floor into small rooms.
At this time, on the bottom floor, there are already more than a dozen wizards waiting for work. Obviously, the sudden deformation of the stone wall just now was also their work.
After nearly half of the wizards were wiped out with this sudden blow, the defenders at the lower level stopped directing the transformation spell and launched a counterattack against the enemy in front of them.
At the same time, the defenders who had been watching the show on the top of the city wall immediately raised their heads and launched a condescending attack.
Facing the double blow from the front and above, the remaining attacking wizards could barely hold on. However, after holding on for less than a minute, they were still overwhelmed and were killed by the defenders one after another.
Percy, who had been watching from a distance, nodded clearly at this time, "Use transformation to counter transformation? I have to say that it is indeed a good way, but in this way, your city wall will not be destroyed by yourself.
Is it full of loopholes?”
Thinking of this, Percy immediately ordered his wizards, "Don't delay when everyone is resurrected. Launch a counterattack against the checkpoint again. The goal is to rush into the city wall to carry out damage and delay the opponent's time to repair the outer wall."
Then Percy thought about it for a moment, and finally decided not to put the existing trolls into the battlefield for the time being, because the opponent would most likely use sharp weapons like lava cannons to block them from their continuous charges.
At that time, the giant monsters mixed with the frontal troops will most likely be affected by the artillery fire and die before they can reach the city wall.
Following Percy's order, the attacking wizards rushed towards the city wall as soon as they revived, without even regrouping with their teammates.
This kind of continuous attack did have a very good effect. Although the casualties were not small, many people still fought their way into the city wall, leaving no opportunity for the low-level wizards to repair the city wall.
But soon, Percy felt that the battlefield was a little strange. Looking at the performance of the wizards on the opposite side, it seemed that they had not thought about repairing the city wall from the beginning!
"What's going on? Are they going to fight us just like that? That would save us trouble. We can even save the step of destroying the city wall."
Percy shook his head mockingly, "But Wood is really calm. Until now, he didn't use any defensive preparations. How come he suddenly became so frugal?"
When he thought of armaments, Percy's expression suddenly changed.
"No!" Percy's heart skipped a beat, "Could Wood be thinking that as long as I don't use tactical weapons to attack the city, they won't use weapons to defend..."
"And the purpose of doing this..." His eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it to widen the gap in merit between the two parties?"
Immediately afterwards, Percy raised the telescope in front of his eyes and observed the changes in the battlefield situation.
Then he discovered that for every wave of attacks from his side, although some wizards were able to rush into the city wall, they were unable to cause any real trouble.
Because the defenders had geographical advantages, they could rely on bunkers to fight regardless of whether they were on the city wall or under the city wall.
However, our own soldiers were like moving targets during the charge, and could only be passively beaten most of the time. Therefore, the battle damage ratio between the enemy and ourselves was basically between 1:4 and 1:5.
"Damn it! I'm afraid this is not a trap..." Percy yelled secretly, "If we continue to fight like this, the casualty gap between the two sides will only get wider and wider! And the reason why the other side completely opened the wall is to attract people.
We take the initiative, and this kind of unorganized charge in order to rush for time is simply a waste of sacrifice."
At this time, Percy finally saw through Wood's trick, and was about to order everyone to withdraw. After all, if the fight continued, the gap in resources between the two sides would definitely widen.
But just when he put his hand next to the earphones, he suddenly stopped continuing.
There is no way, the bait put out by the opponent is too tempting. If you cut open the entire city wall and fight with yourself, and increase the intensity of the attack, can you completely capture the city wall?
In Percy's mind, there was a voice that kept confusing him.
"The other side dares to take such a big risk, so I have no reason to back down!" After pondering for a moment, Percy gritted his teeth decisively.
"Put all four giant monsters into the battlefield, divide them into two teams to attack the two wings, and the rest of the wizards will gather together to charge towards the central area!"
Percy did not stop his own wizards from continuing to attack, but made slight adjustments to his tactics and at the same time put the remaining trolls from the previous stage into the battlefield.
The giant monsters attacking both sides can share a lot of pressure. At the same time, if the opponent starts to use ordnance to counterattack, it will not affect the frontal troops. In addition, the wizards can concentrate their attacks on one point, which can also increase the probability of them attacking the city wall.
However, Percy thought about it and felt that this was not safe enough. He immediately contacted the air force and said, "Harry, you are also waiting for the opportunity to dispatch and act according to the second plan."
"Copy that!" Harry responded, and after making gestures to his companions around him, he began to raise the altitude until he was hundreds of people above the ground and out of range of the defenders' anti-aircraft weapons.
Facing the adjustment of the offensive counterattack, the defenders responded very quickly. The wizards above and below the city wall began to gather towards the area where the attacker's large forces were advancing.
As for the giant monsters on both sides, only a few people from the defenders came to the city wall close to the giant monsters and each exchanged a large ballista to shoot at them.
This kind of ballista, which appeared for the first time, can fire a giant arrow up to two meters long. However, neither the loading speed nor the flying speed can be said to be very fast. Any ordinary wizard can easily dodge it.
survive its attack.
However, this weapon with very obvious flaws also has very obvious advantages. Its attack range is ridiculously long, and its power is even more outrageous.
With just one blow, a giant monster was instantly killed in full view of everyone, as if this ballistae was the nemesis of the giant monsters and was specially designed to deal with them.
This result shocked Percy who was watching from a distance. He did not expect that the opponent had such a sharp weapon in his hand.
But then I thought about it, and the reason why the other party had never used this kind of ballista might be because its flaws were too obvious, which led Wood to think that it was a piece of equipment with extremely low cost performance.
But judging from the actual effect, this kind of ballistae was obviously designed to target giant monsters. This discovery also made Percy dare not exchange for the giant monsters and go out to fight.
"Harry, move!" Percy didn't dwell on the ballista for too long. If he couldn't use the troll, then he wouldn't use it. Now was the most critical moment of the battle.
After hearing Percy's order, Harry in the sky immediately led the rest of the air force members and began to dive towards the location of the city wall.
The defenders who discovered this immediately skillfully controlled the scatter cannons located on the city wall, preparing to make it impossible for these air troops to come back.
But what Lingwood and the others didn't expect was that Harry and the others stopped after diving to a certain distance. Instead, they used the speed of their descent to throw a handful of props toward the top of the city wall during the sprint.
"Oops! It's a blasting talisman, take cover quickly!" Wood, who was commanding on the city wall, immediately shouted to everyone. He didn't expect that the opponent actually had a tactic of dropping bombs from the air.
However, despite Wood's prompt warning, most of the wizards on the city wall still had no time to react, and because the attackers changed their tactics, their positions were particularly concentrated at this time.
"Bang bang bang!"
Following more than a dozen loud noises, a series of violent explosions occurred on the city wall. The wizards who stood on top were either killed or blown away by the blast. Only a small number of the members were lucky enough to escape the wave.
bombing.
Unfortunately, although Commander Wood was the first to issue an early warning to everyone, he failed to escape the bombing and entered the resurrection time early.
"The remaining wizards immediately moved to the second floor. After the dead wizards were resurrected, they immediately gathered on the first and second floors and temporarily abandoned the top wall."
After the sacrifice of the commander, the wizards on the defensive side did not fall into panic like in the first stage. Hermione, who was responsible for frontal blocking below, immediately took over the command.
Obviously after experiencing a chaos, they have also learned from experience and adjusted their command structure. Now it is not so easy to deceive everyone through tricks.
