The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 437 Surrender
The fight between Bello and Rodney was in full swing.
It was getting late today, and Rodney couldn't bring out much supplies, so he didn't want to start the war too early.
The hit rate of long-range troops will naturally decrease at night.
This means that shooters and catapults will consume a lot of ammunition. Once the mountain stronghold is not captured before the ammunition is exhausted, the chance may be completely lost.
But this is what Bello wanted, and he would rather face greater sacrifices and force Rodney to attack the city.
When Rodney attacked the city at night, not only did his hit rate drop a lot, but he also had to light a large number of extra torches.
Previously, Rodney planned to fight quickly, and Count Aini was also in a hurry, so he didn't carry much supplies.
Although the torches are burning now, the lighting range is still not enough.
Moreover, the torches in the dark night were simply living targets. The catapults and ballistas on the cottage were all aimed at the places with firelight.
Fortunately, the soldiers on Count Aini's side are obviously more elite.
The horse thieves were good at plundering, but their ability to fight tough battles was weak, and they had no specialized abilities such as leadership to maintain them, so their morale dropped very quickly.
Even if the horse thieves had the advantage in defending the city, both the number of catapults and ballistae were greatly superior to that of the other side.
However, the morale of both sides declined at a rate that was not at the same rate.
The most egregious thing is that the horse thieves have arrow towers and stronghold walls to strengthen their long-range troops, but the horse thieves are still at a disadvantage when it comes to shooting.
Fortunately, the defenders did not need to worry about ammunition. They also had ballistas and ballistae, so the casualty ratio was finally slightly lower than the opponent's.
Rodney couldn't see the advantage for a long time, and he wanted to retreat, but he was worried that he would go back without any results, so he couldn't explain to Count Aini.
Gritting his teeth, Rodney had someone light a fire to attract the firepower of catapults and ballistae.
A group of infantrymen who had been prepared for a long time rushed towards the gate of the stronghold with their shields and bumpers on their shoulders.
Rodney was ready to take a gamble, and he brought a total of three crash logs.
If even three ramming logs could not open the door, Count Ani would not be able to blame him even if he retreated.
However, what Rodney didn't expect was that the gate of Bello's cottage didn't seem to have been reinforced.
Less than 5 minutes after the infantry team collided, the door clicked and exploded.
Rodney didn't think too much. They rushed over so quickly. It was already very powerful for the horse thieves to gather so many troops at once. There was no time to reinforce the gate or something.
But, how could Bello ignore this problem.
Even if there is no time to reinforce the gate, you can still put a group of infantry behind and prepare kerosene at the head of the stronghold gate.
Now, although the kerosene was ready, Bello did not release it when the collision wood rushed over.
Rodney's intention to retreat was too obvious. Whether it was catapults or long-range troops, attacks became sparse.
This obviously doesn't look like a serious siege.
Bello was unwilling to let Rodney wait until daylight to attack, and he was even less willing to let Rodney run away like this.
If Rodney was allowed to run back almost unscathed, no one would know how many people would ride on his face again when he looked back.
Therefore, Bello was not unprepared, but deliberately put Rodney in.
After rushing into the stronghold, the infantrymen threw away the bumping wood, drew out their one-handed swords, and prepared to fight the horse thieves at close range.
As the position of the door was controlled by this group of sword and shield soldiers, Rodney ordered a pursuit of victory, allowing the Crusaders with high output and armor to rush into the mountain stronghold.
Although the heavy shield infantry has strong defensive power, its attack power is very low.
Let them fight the horse thieves. They may be able to survive being surrounded by horse thieves several times their size, but they will not have the ability to advance.
Although this group of Crusaders only has 500 people, it has always been the core of Rodney's infantry output.
In the dark night, the visibility was not very good. After the Crusaders and heavy shield infantry entered the mountain stronghold, it was like they were lost in the sea, and there was no trace.
Rodney's frown deepened, which was also an important reason why he was unwilling to fight at night. It was too difficult to obtain information at night.
A group of people were completely wiped out, especially among them were 500 level 6 Crusaders.
Rodney gritted his teeth again and mobilized a thousand-man infantry team to rush into the stronghold.
Elvie's vision was not good enough at night, even with night vision goggles.
But night is also the best cover. He can take advantage of the darkness and fly to very low places to observe without worrying too much about being discovered.
Rodney didn't know what was going on, but Elvie did see a little bit.
The gate and wall of the cottage are not the main defense points of the cottage at all.
There are intricate roads in the cottage, and traps can be seen everywhere.
The infantrymen who entered the mountain stronghold were caught in ice traps and poison traps, and were also trapped in nets and the like, so that they could not move and were poisoned to death.
Not only that, Elvi also noticed that Bello was no longer satisfied with just swallowing up these groups of infantry. He quietly mobilized his troops and moved into the secret passage.
Although night has a great impact on long-range troops, horse thieves who often carry out plunder at night are more suitable for night battles.
Also noticing this scene, Elvi silently contacted Xu Lai.
Xu Lai brought Yan Feng and his horse archers, as well as the angel troops he personally led.
If he leads it personally, the angels cannot fly too high. Even at his current level, the angels will be out of control when they fly to an altitude of 5 or 6 kilometers.
But it's night now, the visibility is extremely poor, and no one can see.
It doesn't matter even if they are seen, these angels of his are no longer a secret.
With Xu Lai here, the already extremely fast heroes became incredibly fast.
Don't worry about the speed of the archangels, their two pairs of wings don't even wave much.
By the time Xu Lai arrived, the battlefields on both sides were already in chaos.
The horse thief's troops have already rushed into the formation of the long-range troops.
Without the Phantom Bow, these shooters cannot counterattack the enemy from a distance.
But the fight between the horse thief and the archer could not be considered smooth.
Both sides are thinly armored, so the horse thieves have an advantage in close combat, and the horses are condescending.
The attacks of the archers can usually only hit the horse's legs, but the weapons of the archers are two-handed swords, and their attack power is also very amazing.
Both sides were losing money at an alarming rate, but Rodney and his infantry regiment did not appear on the battlefield.
Elvi noticed Xu Lai early and flew down to report to Xu Lai in time.
Rodney has led the remaining infantry and broke into the mountain stronghold.
He did not expect that Bello would take advantage of the night to move a large number of horse thieves outside the stronghold.
Bello did not expect Rodney's infantry regiment to be so tough. He arranged a large number of ice and fire traps and buried a large number of mechanisms.
As a result, after these traps were cleared one by one, a large number of infantrymen were still alive.
What the final result will be, it's hard to say yet.
Xu Lai decided not to participate for the time being and sit back and watch both sides lose.
This battle lasted until daylight. The horse thieves outside had already been killed by the shooters and their morale had been reduced.
However, these horse thieves could not escape. Xu Lai was watching a show outside and took care of these horse thieves by the way.
At dawn, the group of shooters who also suffered serious losses saw the closed gate of the cottage and realized that the situation was not good.
The leader of the archers refused to wait any longer for fear that the door would open and another group of horse thieves would rush out.
The departure of the shooter troops was the last straw for Rodney to save himself.
Xu Lai avoided the retreating shooters, and when the gate of the cottage was reopened, he led his troops to reappear.
Seeing Xu Lai, Bello finally showed a bitter smile.
He had exhausted all his energy and military power in dealing with Rodney.
Not to mention that Xu Lai had a team of angels and a team of archers, even if he appeared in front of him single-handedly, Bello could only despair.
Relying on the life amulet, magic amulet and other equipment on his body, Bello actually did not lose much health under the attack of Doomsday Judgment.
But how many people have his luxurious equipment?
Xu Lai single-handedly, as long as one Doomsday Judgment is released, there will be few living people left on their side.
"If I am willing to surrender, can you spare my life?"
Bello did not choose to escape again. Even if he could escape, his foundation and his team could not escape.
At his current age, he doesn't have the courage to start all over again.
Therefore, if he could survive, Bello did not want to escape again.
Xu Lai pondered for a while and then said: "Actually, during the war with the stronghold, I found a handwritten letter from you.
To be honest, as far as the content of this handwriting is concerned, I actually want to let you go.
But I have heard another saying, which is that if the grass is cut without removing the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
After all, I killed your son, and I don’t think you will ever forget this hatred.
Rather than in the future..."
"Wait a minute, Your Excellency Xu Lai, my two sons are with me and are in the stronghold right now. When did you kill them?"
"Ah? Isn't Andy Yin your son?"
Bello smiled bitterly and said: "Of course he is not my son, but he was indeed with me in the beginning.
I saw that he had good talent, and I awakened it myself. I originally planned to train him well.
When others saw that I paid special attention to him, rumors gradually spread.
This was also my fault. I didn't come forward to explain it, so my children and wife were suspicious of me, so I simply let him leave to start his own business.
But he is still too weak after all. If he really wants to develop independently, he will be swallowed up by the other three horse thieves within a month.
Therefore, he secretly spread such rumors. After I discovered it, I specially warned him. "
Xu Lai frowned and said, "Then why are you targeting me specifically and hiding two groups of horse thieves near my Qingfeng City?"
Bello swallowed his saliva and said bitterly:
“My ability to grow and develop is actually dependent on the support of one person.
You should be able to guess who that person is.
Otherwise, if my lair is so hidden, how could his people find it so quickly? "
