Chapter 784: Storm the city wall
The full 2 million stealthy dog-headed aluminum bats, under the acceleration of the Yuan Magnetic Flying Sword, rushed to the city within ten minutes, and then without looking, according to their respective positions, they threw the bombs in their hands into the sandstorm below, and immediately turned around and ran.
Each dog-headed aluminum bat dropped four 500-kilogram bombs, and the sum of 2 million dog-headed aluminum bats was a full eight million aerial bombs.
This is really not a joke, after the explosion of the 500-kilogram bomb, it produces a huge roar and light, which can be heard dozens of kilometers away.
Even in the dense sandstorm, a series of red flashes could be seen, so that the entire sandstorm was dyed red.
Even the continuous explosions caused a slight tremor in the ground.
As for the demon troops who bore the brunt of the blow, they were definitely blown up to cry and cry for their mothers, hugging their heads and running away.
There were bombs falling from the sky everywhere, behind terrible explosions everywhere, this kind of headless explosion really made them helpless, and the most important thing was that they didn't know how to hide.
Even if you are hiding in a house, a 500-kilogram bomb falling from a height of several kilometers can directly hit the roof and then explode.
Even if it explodes on the roof, it can blow up the house and crush the people inside to death.
Especially when the sandstorm is everywhere, the road is not clear, and all the demons are headless flies, running around.
If you don't stand still, you'll be blown up, and if you run around, you'll be blown up, and these demons are full of fear in their hearts, but they can't find a way to make them feel safe.
Maybe the Demon Tower is more resistant to beating, but low-level demons are not qualified to enter, and high-level demons may not be found in sandstorms.
Even if you enter the Demon Tower, hehe, it really doesn't mean that you are completely safe.
Even the Demon Tower can sometimes be blown to pieces by an aerial bomb.
The reason why such a strange thing happened was because there was a problem with the energy supply of the Demon Tower.
Because although the Demon Tower itself has an elemental pool, it has been almost consumed in the shelling just now, and now the energy supply of the Demon Tower depends on the supply of the magic array that connects the entire castle.
The magic power supply method of the magic array is to supply the magic power from a distance through the magic circuit buried under the ground, which is a bit like power supply by wires.
Under normal circumstances, magic circuits are hidden beneath the ground, making them difficult to find and destroy.
However, under the carpet bombardment, the magic circuit that permeated the demon castle suffered unimaginable losses.
Many of the Demon Tower's magic circuits have been blown up, leaving the Demon Tower without a mana supply.
The Demon Tower, which has lost its magical power, is just a relatively strong building, without magical protection, and cannot resist the explosion of 500 kg aerial bombs at all.
All in all, when this wave of carpet bombing ended, the earth monks also revoked the magic of the sandstorm, causing the sandstorm to dissipate quickly, revealing the terrible scene after being bombed.
How to put it, there are ruins everywhere, and there are big craters that have been blown out everywhere.
Although on the whole, there are still many buildings that have escaped the catastrophe and remained intact, especially the Demon Tower, which has only lost about 30%.
However, the Demon Tower in the entire bombed area has basically cut off the supply of mana, and it can be regarded as completely abandoned.
This means that this area with a radius of about 20 kilometers has lost its defensive capability.
The army of millions of demons who had just entered the stadium was killed and injured on the spot, and the rest were basically frightened, and their combat effectiveness was not one in ten.
Emperor Shi Tian carefully searched this large area of ruins through the Ice Spirit Cold Light Mirror, and found that there was indeed no resistance inside.
Then look around the ruins, there is no large number of demons gathered, and the demon troops that have just gathered have suffered heavy losses in the carpet bombardment, and there will definitely be no way to replenish them quickly for a while.
At this time, Emperor Shi Tian was relieved, without any nonsense, and directly ordered the siege of the city.
The vanguard troops, who were originally grinding, immediately killed the city wall as if they were doping.
At the same time, the 4,000 artillery pieces, which had been resting for nearly half an hour, began to roar again, constantly bombarding the magic towers on both sides of the area to cover the vanguard.
As for the other 4,000 guns, they continued to move forward, and the closer they were, the more accurate they were.
It is also worth mentioning that the bombardment units in the air did not stop.
They began to scatter again, bombarding the demon towers on both sides of the blank city wall from the air, and with the artillery bombardment, they put a lot of pressure on them.
Of course, the Demon Tower is not a vegetarian, they have a range of ten kilometers, and they can't do anything with distant artillery, but they can definitely pose a major threat to the dog-headed aluminum bats that harass them.
With one demon spell after another rising into the air, the dog-headed aluminum bats also began to fall in pieces.
However, even if it dies, the dog-headed aluminum bat will drop the bomb in his hand, and even if it can't find the Demon Tower, it can still cause significant damage inside Castlevania.
At this critical moment, Emperor Shi Tian could not care about the loss of the troops.
Although the dog-headed aluminum bat has lost a lot, it has also attracted a large number of spell attacks.
The spell slots of the Demon Tower are limited, and when you focus on attacking, your defense will drop, and even the force field spells that block cannonballs for your allies will be reduced a lot.
In this way, the destructive power of the artillery has become more ferocious, and there are many fewer position spell combinations, and more and more cannonballs are smashed on the demon towers, and they are quickly destroyed one by one.
Emperor Shi Tian is actually using the life of the dog-headed aluminum bat in exchange for the Demon Tower, and creating a chance for his troops to ascend the city.
The troops at the front also did not live up to the sacrifice of the dog-headed aluminum bat.
After all, the earth-based monks who rode on the flying magic carpet were the first to reach the city wall under the cover of some air power.
Then they used earth control to raise the earth and create a slope that connected the top of the wall to the ground.
Slopes were created one after another, and they were connected, and soon a wide slope was formed from above, allowing the army to ascend directly from above.
Even cavalry units such as the Minotaur Lancers did not need to get off their mounts at all, and directly rode the iron wolf to the top of the city.
From the city walls, you can go down to the city walls directly through the staircase walkway and thus enter the city.
However, the staircase aisle is relatively narrow, and the number of Emperor Shitian's troops is too large, and it is definitely not enough.
As a result, some earth monks began to create slopes on the inside of the city walls, so that the large forces on the city could go down.
Basically, only the Minotaur Lancers and Orc Howitzers went down the walls, and as for the Cavemen Heavy Mortars, they all stayed on the walls and put their mortars together, ready to meet the enemy.
With heavy mortar cover with a range of up to seven or eight kilometers, the Minotaur Lancers and Orc warriors were also much safer, and they could deal with the demon forces that rushed at them piecemeal.
In fact, the troops who captured the city wall were still only defending at this time, because there were not too many demon troops on the opposite side, and they were basically wiped out by carpet bombing, and the remaining cannon fodder did not pose any threat at all.
Only the troops on both sides of this section of the city wall began an almost white-hot encounter.
Except for this section of the city wall occupied by Emperor Shitian, the other city walls were still under the control of the demons, and they did not suffer much damage.
Therefore, the defenders on the city wall were naturally taken aback when they saw Emperor Shitian's troops killed, and hurriedly dispatched troops to kill them from both sides along the city wall, intending to take advantage of Emperor Shitian's unstable foothold to drive Emperor Shitian's troops off the city wall.
At this time, Emperor Shitian's long-range heavy artillery troops were useless, their accuracy was too low, and if they didn't get it right, they would kill their own people.
As a result, the 50-meter-wide metal city wall became the fiercest battlefield for the confrontation between the two armies.
Emperor Shitian's side is all alchemy weapons, which can be said to have taken a big advantage.
The Minotaur lancers took the lead, charging and firing frantically.
The orc troops that followed closely behind also flew the grenades, blowing up all the way, and when the demon army group on the opposite side charged, they would always be blown up on their backs.
Behind them, there is a heavy mortar, although the accuracy is a little worse, but at close range, the firepower is still very powerful.
An 80 mm caliber mortar fell into the crowd and could blow it up.
Of course, the most powerful must be said to be the centaur Ji, all of them stepped into the air, just outside the city wall, charging side by side with the Minotaur troops, and the alchemy weapons in their hands were also launched with life, the fire sun rays and the fire sun burst spell, which blew the city wall black.
As for the rocket launcher behind Centaur Ji, it also fires a round from time to time to give damage to those remaining defensive structures.
Several demon towers were blown up by them with rocket artillery, and some magic heavy crossbows and magic catapults on the road also suffered from the baptism of rocket artillery, and few of them were able to be fired.
No way, who called the family Maggie's rocket artillery, with long range and high accuracy!
Of course, the demon legion is not vegetarian, especially the elite troops left behind on the city wall, which are mixed with a lot of silver and even gold-level high-level demons.
These guys also took advantage of defensive structures and the help of allies in the city, and they did a lot of damage to the stormtroopers.
In particular, the various continuous spells that they still had on the city walls, such as the Fire Wall Technique, the Ice Wall Technique, the Poison Cloud Technique, the Greasy Technique, and so on, not only caused a lot of casualties, but also delayed the attack of the vanguard troops to a large extent.
However, in terms of magic power, Emperor Shi Tian's side must still have a big advantage, and the mage troops flying in the air also provided a lot of support in the back.
Some are responsible for treating the injuries of the troops, some are responsible for clearing obstacles along the way, and some are responsible for blessing the troops, and they are also very busy, basically they can't spare their hands to attack, but fortunately, there are too many offensive means to use them.
