The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 687: Fatigue Tactics
The Abyss Gate was suspended. Without the physical Abyss Gate, the cost for the Abyss Lords to summon hell creatures was much higher.
However, at this time, Mondis also took into account the cost. Barton opened all the warehouses, mana potions, and physical potions for him to use.
After careful consideration, Mondis chose to summon the flying fire elves.
Although the hellfire is better at group attacks, it is also tougher.
But there is one thing, the movement speed of the hellfire is relatively slow, and the human troops are deployed three kilometers outside the city.
At such a long distance, the firepower of the long-range troops alone can consume all the hellfires they summoned.
The Abyss Lord summons through the Abyss Gate, and the consumption is different for different summoned objects.
The health of the hellfire is much higher than that of the fire elves, and the mana consumed is also more.
On average, if two hellfires are summoned, three fire elves can be summoned.
At dawn, the demons on the city wall saw more catapults than yesterday.
However, this time, the demons finally did not die and hide in the city, but sent out a large number of fire elves.
As an air force, the fire elves fly very fast, and they have been blessed with attack acceleration in advance.
These fire elves are all over the sky, flying everywhere.
After the Qingfeng Legion's troops were merged, the number of archer troops was extremely large, and it had already exceeded 50,000, and this was without counting the archers.
A large number of arrows fell all over the sky, and countless fire elves fell.
However, these fire elves were completely fearless of death, and still stubbornly flew towards the human catapult position.
Xu Lai cast the fire control magic in time. With this spell and resistance, and the anti-magic cloak, the damage of the fire elves was extremely low.
But these fire elves had no interest in the crossbowmen on the ground. They mainly attacked the catapults.
As a machine, the catapult cannot be covered with fire control magic, and resistance is not effective on it, and the sacred blood bottle cannot bless durability.
Although the archers and crossbowmen, with the blessing of Xu Lai's speed, kept shooting arrows.
Unfortunately, these fire elves were all summoned units, and they were not afraid of life and death at all, and they would not lose morale even if they died.
With the blessing of the ultimate offensive technique, the fire elves were still extremely destructive to the catapults.
More than half an hour later, with the blessing of the phantom archer, the fire elves that went out to fight were basically wiped out.
But this batch of catapults was also damaged by about 70%.
Even if some of them can still hold on and can be used after rescue, at least half of the catapults can no longer fire.
But even if only half can be used, the human side still has the upper hand.
After the bombardment of the whole day yesterday, both the city walls and catapults on the hell side suffered heavy losses.
In addition to tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall, their construction and repair speed could not keep up with Xu Lai at all.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the demons of Briston had almost no power to fight back.
Of course, Xu Lai only had 5 or 6 catapults left at this time.
However, these 5 or 6 catapults did not have to worry about the artillery fire on the city wall.
The crossbowmen could aim slowly, and the hit rate was greatly improved under the effect of ballistics.
Even at night, the artillery fire did not stop because of this.
Anyway, even if it was dark, it would not change the position and distance of both sides.
The crossbowmen had been firing all day, so they would not miss at all at night.
As long as they could hit, Xu Lai was not afraid even if he wasted a little more ammunition.
What he had to fight for now was time, and no one knew when Kerrigan would come back.
Even when the Fiery Spirits went out of the city to fight, Xu Lai did not send out the Seraphs, because he had already sent out Elvy and her angel army.
Using the high-altitude vision and speed advantage, Elvy was able to discover in advance and escape from Kerrigan's pursuit.
Xu Lai was able to get the notice in advance and respond early.
If there was enough time, he could use the time and space gate to leave with a large force.
If it was too late, he would have to make a choice and decision in time, whether to fight to the death or to fight and retreat.
No matter what choice he made, time was very important to Xu Lai.
Night battle was indispensable, but he had not planned to start a night battle so early before.
He was going to take it down in one or two days when he started the siege.
Facing Briston, of course he couldn't train his troops slowly like he did in Little Gray Castle.
All the lights on the walls of Briston were turned off.
A large group of human craftsmen were forced to rush up to the walls.
After a whole day of bombardment, especially the fierce smashing in the last hours of the afternoon, whole sections of the walls were in danger.
At the gate, which was the focus of attention, the gate tower had been blown to pieces, and several nearby fire demon towers had also suffered.
If it weren't for Briston, the magic circle that reduced the damage of siege equipment was still in effect, and perhaps the gate would have been blown open long ago.
Although it hasn't fallen yet, it is already shaky and looks like it will collapse at any time.
This time, Xu Lai did not spend too much energy on defense towers such as arrow towers, turrets, and fire magic towers.
With these defense towers, the range of the fire magic will be greatly improved, and the long-range will have many advantages.
But Xu Lai plans to concentrate firepower and destroy the city wall first.
Without the city wall, he can launch infantry at any time and rush into the city to fight in the streets.
Or, if there is still strength left, he can use the catapult to call out the names one by one, and it won't take too much time to destroy the fire demon towers one by one.
No one knows when the city wall that is being targeted will collapse.
Especially at night, Xu Lai began to tinker with his warehouse ring again.
He took out the catapults, accessories, ammunition, etc. that Qingfeng City had accumulated throughout the day, and then equipped them into complete catapults.
The crossbowmen who were injured during the day were rotated for treatment, and the soldiers who died were resurrected if they should be resurrected, and buried on the spot if they could not be resurrected.
It's not that Xu Lai doesn't respect the dead, nor does he want to bring the bodies to his family.
In fact, the complete bodies have been resurrected by the angels, and the remaining ones can't even be pieced together.
The seraphim at night have no night vision ability and cannot patrol.
It just so happens that they are also needed to resurrect the soldiers who died in the day.
The patrol work at night was handed over to the dragon knight Sir Eric.
The black dragons living in the dungeon have dark vision and can see clearly even at night.
After advancing to the 9th level dragon knight, their speed is much faster than that of ordinary black dragons, and with the blessing of Xu Lai's speed talent.
At least within the coverage range of Xu Lai's hero attributes, Xu Lai does not have to worry about any danger to Eric who is alone.
Even if they encounter Kerrigan's large army, Xu Lai and his team use the time and space gate to leave, and Eric alone has a high chance of escaping.
On the contrary, if Ed, Silver Wing and other Pegasus knights are also sent out, it is more likely to be dangerous.
As the catapults are assembled one after another, the firepower outside the city becomes stronger, and the human craftsmen responsible for maintenance inside and outside the city walls are more trembling.
Not only do they have to repair the city walls in the dark, but they also have to bear the long-range firepower of their own people outside the city.
Even if they are smashed to death, they can only bear the infamy of being a rapist, and even their wives and children will become food for the devil in an instant.
But if they don't do it, the long-horned warlords and evil gods in charge of supervision will not hesitate to whip them with those thorny whips.
At this moment, the demons are too lazy to maintain even the last bit of warmth.
In this state, even if there are demons whipping them behind them, how efficient can they be?
The workers' maintenance efficiency is not high, but the firepower outside the city is constantly increasing.
Finally, before the humans have taken turns to have dinner, a section of the city wall collapsed.
Fortunately, on this section of the city wall, in addition to the maintenance workers and the demons in charge of supervision, even the fire demons and fire trolls in charge of defense have withdrawn.
Demons are also life-saving. Unless they are forced, no fool is willing to stay on this precarious wall.
And this section of the city wall is like the first domino.
Once it collapses, the vibration and the falling rubble will hit other sections of the city wall, which is likely to cause a chain reaction.
As soon as the first section of the city wall collapsed, Xu Lai ordered to light up the magic lamps and bonfires in the entire camp.
He had destroyed the demons' firepower.
Therefore, no matter how bright his camp was, he didn't have to worry about becoming a target in the dark.
However, no matter how bright his camp was, it couldn't illuminate Briston.
Xu Lai simply asked people to bring out the explosive bombs. Because this kind of ammunition was fire damage, it was not lethal to demons.
Moreover, as magic ammunition, the damage to the physical city wall by the explosive bomb was far less than that of solid stone bullets.
Therefore, not only did Xu Lai not use the explosive bombs, but also other magic ammunition.
At this time, the explosive bombs were used for attacking, not to kill the enemy, but simply for lighting.
Just like the tracer bullets in modern artillery fire, it was to see the trajectory of the ballistics clearly in the dark.
The explosive bombs were used to wait for the ammunition to explode so that people outside the city could observe the specific situation of Briston.
Moreover, the newly built catapults were still placed in the same position as during the day.
But after all, no matter how they were adjusted, there was still a slight difference from the position during the day.
As the saying goes, a slight error can lead to a great difference. Every slight adjustment means a difference of dozens or even hundreds of meters.
Using the light of the explosive bomb, it is just right to adjust the direction and angle of the catapult.
At the same time, the collapse of the city wall also alarmed the demon bosses who had just laid down and were ready to rest.
One demon general after another climbed up from the tent or dreamland.
The fire demon stationed in the Fire Demon Tower screamed in horror: "The city wall has fallen, the city wall has fallen!"
After the city wall fell, Xu Lai did not rush to order an attack, but launched more catapults, still bombing wildly.
The well-fed and well-drinking infantrymen of the Qingfeng Legion returned to their respective barracks to rest under the orders of their respective superiors.
If the demons dared to rush out and fight Xu Lai to the death at this time, they might really catch Xu Lai off guard.
Unfortunately, the demons themselves also need to rest.
And from top to bottom, all the demons, including the fire demon Barton, have no confidence in fighting against humans.
Nearly 10,000 abyss lords spent countless mana potions and spent a whole night to summon the fire spirits.
It took humans only half an hour, and they only relied on long-range troops to solve it.
It is said that the Knights, known as the strongest human cavalry, have not made any moves so far.
Before the demons could come up with a countermeasure, the second section of the city wall collapsed under the continuous bombardment of the catapults outside the city.
Then the third section, the fourth section, Xu Lai seemed to want to knock down all the walls of Briston.
Barton ordered all the fighting demons to wait seriously and take turns to rest in batches.
There is also a lava moat outside the city of Briston.
Although this lava river cannot be compared with the magma in the volcano, the temperature is also terrifyingly high.
The most important thing is that ordinary wooden boards, even those that are tens of centimeters thick, will immediately burn when placed on both sides of the lava river.
A thick wooden board takes less than ten minutes, and the time for people to cross is even shorter.
Once the wooden board burns, the soldiers crossing the river will fall into the lava river, and it is basically difficult to survive.
Of course, Xu Lai can also give them a magic spell to control fire. As long as this spell is not dispelled, it is still no problem for soldiers with thick blood to swim across the lava river.
If you want to avoid being damaged so easily, simple and easy-to-use props such as wooden boards are obviously not suitable.
Barton obviously also took the existence of the moat into consideration, so he deployed heavy troops for defense at the only gate that could safely pass through the moat.
With the light of the fire bomb, Xu Lai saw a large number of long-horned warlords, evil gods, and lava trolls and fire demons gathered on the nearby fire demon tower.
Barton really spent a lot of money. Although Xu Lai did not see it, he guessed that there should be a large number of big demons hiding nearby.
Only this kind of terrifying creature can rush to the battlefield for support in an instant.
However, Xu Lai was not in a hurry. He calmly commanded the catapult to clear the enemy's long-range firepower.
At the same time, he also asked Lena to use the Dragon's Heart to summon dozens of bone dragons to help in the battle.
Xu Lai did not expect that the Dragon's Heart would even summon bone dragons.
This thing is an undead unit. If you bring it with you, it will seriously affect morale.
However, although these bone dragons are a little weak, they can summon a lot of them.
With the blessing of Rena's defensive specialty, the demons were also shocked.
Xu Lai has a god-level offensive skill, which also comes with the special effect of being invincible. It is difficult for his soldiers of the same level to defeat Rena's men.
Now these bone dragons not only have Rena's defensive specialty, but also have the commander Xu Lai's speed talent, sacred blood bottle, and god-level offensive skills.
The bone dragons, which were originally fragile and could be called the weakest high-level creatures, were immediately supplemented with various data on defense, offense, life and speed.
As undead creatures, bone dragons have curses attached to their attacks. Even if the bone dragons die, it will take a very long time to subside.
Therefore, these dozens of bone dragons have caused great trouble to the demon army.
Especially since they are flying creatures, they fly around and harass everywhere, making the demons of Briston restless. (End of this chapter)
