Chapter 1374: Close the city gates
"Close the city gate" Suddenly, the commander-in-chief of the city defense of Tara City shouted, "Close the city gate quickly!"
Although everyone felt inexplicable, they still began to close the city gate as quickly as possible according to the order of the commander-in-chief of the city defense.
At this moment, among the allied forces of the Eastern Xinjiang countries, which still looked a little chaotic under the city, suddenly "swished" and shot a lot of arrows, all of which were towards the direction of the city gate......
"Bow and arrow suppression!" the commander-in-chief of the city defense of Tara City shouted and ordered, "The magic archers carry out the longest-range shooting!"
Hearing the loud sound of "boom", everyone felt a shaking under their feet, and they couldn't help but look at the city gate below. Fortunately, the gates were closed in time. If the heavy city gate is not closed in time, this wave of "magic arrows" alone may be enough to blow up the city gate. However, even so, the city gates that were several feet thick were blown up by the "magic arrow" and there were deep pits of half a meter to one meter.
Due to the timely counterattack of the long-range troops in Tara City, the magic archers of the allied forces of the Eastern Frontier countries failed to carry out the second wave of long-range attacks as expected.
"All magicians!" the commander-in-chief of the city defense of Tara City continued to shout the order, "Release the magic shield with all your might!"
"Whoosh" ...... The people of Tara City watched with some excitement as they watched their own long-range counterattack. In their opinion, these foot soldiers, who were not supported by the city walls, would surely suffer heavy casualties under this wave of arrows.
It's a pity that just when the "magic arrow" was about to be killed, various lights suddenly appeared in the camp of the coalition forces of the eastern Xinjiang countries, and then one after another magic shields rose in the blink of an eye, firmly guarding all the soldiers of the coalition forces of the eastern Xinjiang countries.
After a muffled sound of "pop-pop", all the "magic arrows" in Tara City were consumed by the magic shield, and the energy was exhausted and dissipated without harming a single person. As for the ordinary arrows, due to their lack of range, they did not touch the magic shield at all, and fell far to the ground.
"All the magic archers!" the commander-in-chief of the city defense of Tara City shouted again, "Keep shooting with all your might!"
"Whoosh" ...... Another burst of dense "magic arrows......
Although there are magicians in the coalition forces of the Eastern Xinjiang countries who use magic shields to defend, the number of more than 100,000 soldiers is too large. In order to be able to fully protect themselves, the small number of mages had to do their best to enlarge the magic shield, but in doing so, not only was the mana consumed, but the defense was greatly reduced. Therefore, after struggling to receive the second wave of "magic arrow" attacks, the magicians had to use the crumbling magic shield to push the coalition forces of the eastern frontier countries to retreat quickly!
"Whoosh" ...... The third wave of dense "magic arrows" barely made contact with the magic shield, but it was precisely because of this that these "magic arrows" exerted their due power, directly bombarding the ground into a deep ravine. Although it failed to effectively kill and injure the enemy, it caused some trouble to the opponent's subsequent attack.
"Stop shooting!" the commander-in-chief of the city defense of Tara City decisively ordered, and reminded loudly, "Everyone!
Although the time was short, the thrilling battle just now still made everyone extremely nervous. Therefore, when the war is over, everyone has time to sigh in their hearts: "It's so dangerous!" Then, everyone can't help but respect the commander-in-chief of the city defense.
"My lord, how do you know that they will raid in a hurry?" asked the city defense officer, puzzled.
"Because, I've always felt that the other party is acting weird!" replied the commander-in-chief, "but I haven't been able to figure out what the weirdness is. ”
"My lord, have you figured it out now?" asked the city guard at once, very cooperatively.
"That's good!" replied the commander-in-chief of the city defense, "as we all know, this time Cisco Rete has gathered almost all of the military forces in the eastern frontier. So, it stands to reason that there should be many more magic archers in the coalition than ours!"
"Well, I see!" said the city guard with joy, "but they haven't sent out a demon archer attack until now. In fact, in siege warfare, the magic archers must be an indispensable combat force!"
"Your Excellency is wise!" said the city defense officer, "If you hadn't reminded us, we really wouldn't have imagined that there was such a 'weird' hidden in it." ”
"Since the Demon Archers will definitely come, but they have never appeared, then where are they?" the City Defense Commander asked with a solemn face, of course, now the answer to this question has been revealed, but all the City Defense Officers are very familiar and did not say it, so after the City Defense Commander glanced around, he replied to himself, "Finally, at the critical moment, I realized that these Demon Archers must be hidden among hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers. ”
"It's so dangerous!" exclaimed a city guard with an exaggerated expression, "If the adults are slow to react, then maybe the city gate will be attacked by them at this moment." ”
"It's so dangerous!" chimed in.
"Your Excellency is amazing!" someone patted the horse.
However, the commander-in-chief of the city defense still had a heavy face, and categorically vetoed: "No! Their real intention is not actually to attack the city!"
"What?" exclaimed almost all the city guards. Moreover, this time, no one deliberately exaggerated, and no one had the heart of "flattery".
"And what is their real intention?" asked a city guard after the exclamation.
"Naturally, they want to lure our main force out of the city to counterattack!"
Although the commander-in-chief of the city defense was extremely sure, some people still questioned: "Then why are they still attacking our city gates?"
"That's because we haven't been out of town for a long time. The commander-in-chief of the city defense replied, "The person who commanded the battle was also very good, and when he saw that we were not fooled, he immediately made a decision, changed his strategy, and then lost no time in raiding our city gate!"
"It's really dangerous!" a city defense official sighed again, "If it weren't for the quick reaction of the adults, once they really blasted open the city gate, then Tara City would be in danger!"
"What if we really went out of the city to fight back at that time?" asked another city defense officer with a frown.
"Alas, once we leave the city, they will inevitably be copied from the two loaves!" replied the commander-in-chief of the city defense, "I just said that the cavalry will be charged. Actually, I don't know if you have noticed ......"
Seeing that the commander-in-chief of the city defense deliberately paused, the city defense officer, who was quick to see the opportunity, asked cooperatively: "What did you notice?"
"The equipment of these foot soldiers is very peculiar. The commander-in-chief of the city defense replied, "It turned out that they were all big shields and spears. Originally, I thought they were equipped with large shields to defend against arrows when climbing the city. But, in fact, they had no intention of attacking the city at all. Therefore, such equipment must be specially prepared for dealing with cavalry. ”
