Chapter 149: Heavy losses
However, just as the mage group of the water blue mage had just crossed the city wall, there was a sudden roar of magic bursting from behind.
Master Shui Lan was taken aback, and hurriedly looked back, and was immediately half angry and half dead!
It turned out that their large battalion was being subjected to heavy bombardment by rocket artillery.
Although there are not many people left behind in the camp, there are supplies in the camp!
Tens of thousands of people's food and drinking water are all in the camp, and no one can carry food when they leave the station, right?
If all that food and water are destroyed, then what will the tens of thousands of people here eat and drink?
In an instant, Master Shui Lan found himself in a dilemma, whether to save people or save materials?
If we continue to save people, then there will definitely not be much left. If they didn't find an intact magic teleportation array under the rubble, where would they find food and drink?
Without food or drink, not to mention that there are 30,000 troops here, even if there are 100,000 troops, it will not last for a few days and the whole army will be wiped out.
But if you go to save supplies, then the 3,000 cavalry here will lose the last trace of life.
Without the cavalry troops, only the mages and infantry are left, hehe, can you still live this life?
Not to mention anything else, just attacking and harassing with rockets from a distance of more than a dozen kilometers is enough to make this army collapse.
Because the infantry is not only slow, but also has low defense, there is no way to drive away those cave people gunners, and if they advance under artillery fire, it is simply looking for death.
And the mage regiment doesn't have a good way, they are not a high-mobility class, and the range is not far away, so they can only defend passively.
Therefore, without high-speed and high-defense cavalry troops, this army will lose the ability to deal with rocket artillery, and I am afraid that sooner or later it will have to be played to death.
This also means that if you save the cavalry, you will lose your supplies and starve to death, and if you save the materials, you will lose the cavalry and be played to death by others.
The left is also dead, and the right is also dead, and the water blue mage was directly stunned, and he didn't know how to choose at all.
Fortunately, at this time, Lord Doug made a choice for her, "All the earth mages will stay to save people, and the rest will go to save supplies!"
The water blue mage instinctively felt that this order was wrong, but she couldn't help but listen to the lord's order, so she could only helplessly leave a dozen earth mages, and then lead the large army to fly in the direction of the big camp.
But not long after the mage group of the water blue mage left, a series of fire meteors suddenly appeared in the sky, and then slammed down and smashed directly on the ruins.
Then came the snap, long snake-like lightning flew in all directions, and even intertwined into a large net, covering the entire ruins.
The human warriors in the ruins are out of luck, where can these black iron level warriors resist the attack of bronze spells?
Just a bolt of lightning can knock them down on the spot, and the human body is in a state of scorching.
The funniest thing is that all the human warriors are wearing iron armor, which is usually a treasure that protects them, but now it has become their talisman.
Under the attack of hundreds of Lei Yuan Techniques, all the conductive iron armor became the target of the lightning chase, so that the thousands of human warriors who were digging in the ruins did not fall down, and all of them were electrocuted on the spot.
Not only were the warriors wiped out, but even the dozen or so earth mages were not spared.
Although they are also bronze mages, with the protective ornaments on their bodies, they can also resist the attacks of several or even a dozen bronze spells.
But the problem is that there are too many thundercloud techniques, there are two or three hundred ways, and they are face killing, often one thundercloud technique can envelop three or five mages.
Hundreds of thundercloud spells went down, and on average, each mage would be hit thirty or fifty times. No matter how strong they are, it will be difficult for them to resist the attacks of dozens of spells of the same level?
So these guys didn't even play a role at all, and they all died tragically in this sneak attack.
The most aggrieved thing was the cavalry team below, after all the rescuers were killed, those people in the distance were also frightened, and no one dared to approach this ruin.
And the reason why Emperor Shi Tian chose the thundercloud technique for this sneak attack was also because he was afraid of other powerful spells to blow up the ruins and rescue the knights who were buried alive inside.
Anyway, Emperor Shi Tian's purpose is only one, that is, to completely annihilate these guys who were buried alive, and never give them a chance to live.
The water blue mage had only walked half way, and suddenly found that the earth mage he left behind was completely wiped out, seeing that these companions who got along day and night were all in the lightning, turning into charred corpses, the water blue mage was also so angry that his face was flushed, and he couldn't help but glared at Lord Doug fiercely.
Lord Doug finally realized at this time that he had given a stupid order, and the mage group gathered together could resist the onslaught of rocket artillery, but after being alone, it could only become a live target for rocket artillery.
Therefore, this order to divide the troops is simply an extremely stupid order, otherwise it would not have killed more than a dozen earth mages at once.
The Master is extremely expensive, and Lord Doug himself has no way to cultivate it, so he can only buy it from others at a high price.
In order to collect this group of 100 mages, Lord Doug didn't know how many favors he had, and begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, but he finally managed to get it together, but because of a wrong order, he lost 1/10.
Lord Doug was so distressed that he almost vomited blood!
It's a pity that he doesn't regret taking the medicine now, and Master Shui Lan also knows that it is irretrievable, so he can only move forward with hatred.
Soon, Master Aqua Blue led her troops to the rear camp, and she did not dare to get too close to the place where the rocket artillery would attack, for fear of encountering a large-scale rocket artillery sneak attack.
A kilometer away from the battlefield, the Aqua Mage stopped the mage group and began to cast spells collectively.
Soon, a transparent blue light curtain appeared in the place where the rocket artillery was bombarded.
This magic protective shield covers a radius of several hundred meters, like an upside-down bowl, protecting all the concentrated suspended carriages.
Despite this, the aqua blue mage's face also became extremely ugly.
After all, they were under a surprise attack, and although they had arrived as soon as possible, they still couldn't avoid losses.
The rocket artillery launched more than ten kilometers away, although the quasi-leader was affected a lot, could have caused a lot of damage to the concentrated hovering carriage.
Many of the wagons were shattered, and the food that had failed in the shrinkage spell exploded, almost flooding the entire camp.
Even the magician's exclusive hovering carriage was shattered several by the dense rocket artillery, which shows how terrifying the strength of the opponent's sneak attack this time was.
Master Aqua estimated that in just a few minutes, thousands of rockets had landed in the vicinity, causing heavy losses to the logistics of the entire army.
After the Aqua Mage's magic shield takes effect, all subsequent rocket launches are blocked by the magic shield.
The other side obviously knew that it would be a waste to fire more rocket artillery, so they wisely stopped the shelling.
And at this time, the entire battlefield finally completely returned to calm.
Lord Doug's side, although it has an absolute advantage in strength and numbers, but in the end it ended up with a complete defeat!
Emperor Shi Tian didn't even lose a single soldier, he swallowed 3,000 of their knights, and killed more than a dozen mages in a row, and once again severely damaged the opponent's logistics and supplies.
It can be said that throughout the whole process, Lord Doug was played by Emperor Shi Tian from beginning to end, and the game between the two sides in terms of strategy was simply not at the same level!
Lord Doug also knew this, so he became extremely depressed at this time, his face was full of dejection, and he kept cursing and scolding: "This damn bastard is actually calculating me again." Can't he fight a battle with dignity? It's so hateful, he doesn't look like a hero or a nobleman at all! He's a shame to our angelic gods!"
Hearing this, Master Shui Lan couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "If the Angel Protoss is really shameful, then it is definitely you idiot. With such a powerful army, it was hit hard again and again by the sparse troops of the people, and even to the point of running out of ammunition and food. You're stupid like this, and you're embarrassed to say that people are a disgrace?"
But Master Aqua didn't dare to say this, and after noticing that there was no danger around, she sent a message to Lord Doug and asked, "Lord, what should we do next?"
"Let's save people first!" Lord Doug fixed his mind and said, "But before that, I need you to investigate, are there any hidden cavemen shooters around?"
The water blue mage replied, "I just released the reconnaissance spell, and twenty or thirty kilometers away, there are five squadrons of cavemen active, they are scattered around us, and they may fire rocket artillery at any time. ”
"Damn!" Lord Doug said angrily, "They want to stop us from rescuing those knights!"
"I'm afraid that's the case!" said the water blue mage helplessly, "Without the power of spells, it is impossible for human warriors with bare hands to dig out those knights from the ruins in a short period of time." But we also need to protect these logistical supplies. ”
"Let them carry the supplies, carry the supplies to the ruins, so that you can protect the ruins with the supplies. Lord Doug said helplessly.
"Well, that's the way to do it. Master Aqua Blue immediately agreed.
Then the water blue mage took the mage group to sort out the supplies, and at the same time mobilized several human warriors and a thousand teams to help.
Thanks to the help of magical powers, the cleanup of supplies went very smoothly.
In fact, it is really because the losses are so heavy that there is not much that can be sorted out, so it will be so trouble-free.
All the materials that had been exposed had to be discarded, because they had been drenched in acid rain.
Moreover, because of the planning in advance, the number of acid rain techniques this time was a bit large, not only destroying the exposed grain and clear water, but even the suspended carriage was also affected.
