Chapter 274: Joint Strike

Immediately behind the four siege beasts were elite cavalry units, which were also mixed with some spellcasting units.

Their primary goal is to protect the siege beasts, and even after the siege beasts have opened a gap, they must protect the siege beasts first, rather than taking the walls.

The task of capturing the walls was left to the cavalry and infantry that followed.

Anyway, it is preliminarily estimated that the total number of defenders of Emperor Shi Tian here does not exceed 10,000, as long as these 100,000 troops are killed, whether it is those cave people on the opposite side, or crazy iron dogs, they can basically only wait for death.

In this way, under the leadership of the four siege beasts, more than 100,000 troops slowly followed behind, slowly approaching the direction of the city defense.

When they were about six or seven kilometers away from the city defense, the mages began to get busy.

First of all, the four siege monsters are blessed with layers of auxiliary spells, not only all kinds of protection spells, but also acceleration spells, which increase the movement speed of the beasts, mechanical mind spells, which prevent the beasts from being controlled by mental spells, and free movement spells, which prevent the siege beasts from being controlled by people's speed limiting spells, such as spider web speed, greasy spells, etc.

After being blessed, there must be at least one or twenty spells, and the four siege beasts all flashed with magical aura all over their bodies, and they directly turned into impregnable battle fortresses.

Under the influence of bloodthirsty magic, the siege beasts became extremely irritable, and even a little out of control, in order to prevent this from happening, the four heavenly kings simply let the four siege beasts attack first.

The cavalry behind hurriedly followed, and as they advanced, they were blessed with various spells.

As elite cavalry, they have also received priority care from the mages, although they can't catch up with the siege beasts, they have been blessed by almost all the mages of the Four Heavenly Kings, but they have also been blessed by their own mages, and they also have 5,6,7,8 spells on their bodies.

With the blessing of acceleration, coupled with the speed of the cavalry itself, they can completely keep up with the storming siege beasts, and they don't have to worry about being left behind.

As for the infantry behind, they were obviously not so lucky, they were just blessed with acceleration and protection, and at most one endurance technique, and even many infantry did not even add this endurance technique.

In fact, there is no way for the mages, after all, their mana is limited, if the hundreds of thousands of troops are all carefully blessed, their magic power will almost be exhausted, how can they deal with the big war behind?

So in desperation, the mages could only give priority to blessing those elite cavalry, and the infantry would forget about it.

Anyway, in their opinion, the four siege beasts are the enemy's key targets, and it is estimated that the other party will focus their main firepower on them, and the others will be attacked relatively less.

And so, the battle officially broke out.

The four siege beasts with a full body of magical aura, kept running, the speed became faster and faster, and the huge hooves, every time they fell to the ground, they made a dull loud noise, and the earth was shaken, as if there was an earthquake.

This shock can be clearly felt in the distance of the city defense, and even the hundred-meter-high tower looks a little shaky.

Seeing this scene, everyone realized the horror of the siege beast, this kind of big guy, it is too terrifying to destroy you, and the city wall that is waiting for leisure, I am afraid that there is no need for the siege beast to collide, just by the shock of people running a few steps away, the city wall can be collapsed.

Fortunately, the city defenses built by Emperor Shi Tian were protected by magic runes, so there were no big problems.

But looking at this posture, even if it can block the earthquake caused by the siege monster, it will definitely not be able to stop these four big guys, and they will hit with all their might at a very high speed!

Soon, the four siege beasts rushed into the range of 3,000 meters from the city defense with a large army.

Then, the overwhelming rocket artillery bombarded from the direction of the city defense.

And this time, the army of the Four Heavenly Kings made a huge mistake. Their mage group was too concerned with the siege beast, and when they saw the rocket launcher from the opposite side, they immediately added a magic shield to the head of the siege beast.

A group of 100 mages can cast spells together, and they can create a magic shield with a range of up to 1,000 meters, but this magic shield is too large and can be easily broken.

And if you want to ensure the strength of the magic shield, you have to reduce the area of the magic shield.

The mage group thought that the siege beasts were the key targets, so they narrowed the magic shield to a range of 200 meters and shrouded the top of each siege beast.

However, unexpectedly, Emperor Shi Tian ignored the siege beast at all this time, and none of the rocket artillery was right for the siege beast.

Almost all the rocket artillery fell on the heads of the cavalry behind the siege behemoths.

Although some of the rocket artillery was still blocked by the magic shield, most of the rocket artillery exploded in depth of nearly 100,000 cavalry.

In an instant, the burst technique, the explosion of fire, and the thunder and lightning that erupted from the thundercloud technique exploded densely.

The terrifying explosions were continuous, and the cavalry that bore the brunt of the attack was blown away on the spot, and even the magic shield could not block the shockwave attack.

Although the cavalry around him could have been spared death, the magic shield on his body had basically been destroyed.

And without the protection of the magic shield, even if you have a fighting spirit to defend, you can't withstand the attacks of many follow-up spells.

In particular, the lightning created by the thundercloud technique burst hundreds of silver snakes each time, winding and twisting among the cavalry, and constantly weakening the magic shield on the cavalry.

And if there is no magic shield or the protection of the fighting spirit, then it means that the end of the cavalry has come, as long as it is hit by a lightning bolt, the immortal will be stunned and fall to the ground.

After landing, the follow-up cavalry will not care about you, they will definitely step on your body directly, and when the army passes, there will only be a puddle of meat in the same place.

Emperor Shi Tian obviously let go this time, the rocket artillery in a wave of 500 rounds, wave after wave, the first wave just broke out, and the second wave fell in the dense crowd, while the first wave of broken magic shields has not been recovered, it can create extremely terrifying damage.

The rocket artillery in the sky is wave after wave, and the cavalry on the ground is unlucky, and they can resist two waves at first, and when they are later, after the magic shield is broken, it will be a piece of death.

Under the fierce bombardment of thousands of rocket artillery, the cavalry of the Four Heavenly Kings immediately suffered heavy casualties, and thousands of them were killed on the spot.

Fortunately, at this time, the mage group also reacted, and hurriedly expanded the magic shield to block more rocket artillery, which can be regarded as reducing the violent casualties.

At this time, the siege beast was already within the range of the 20mm cannon.

Without any nonsense, hundreds of 20-mm cannons immediately roared with rage.

Similarly, the target of these plans is not the four siege beasts, their defenses are so strong that even a 20mm cannon is like tickling, and it has no lethality at all.

Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian was too lazy to waste bullets, and simply threw all his firepower into the cavalry in the rear.

The cavalry is really unlucky, although their defense is good, and they are also blessed with a lot of protective spells, but after being bombarded by rocket artillery, the cavalry in front of them are either dead or injured, and most of the magic shields on their bodies have collapsed, even if there is still a magic shield, the light is dim, and the power is greatly reduced.

In this case, hundreds of 20mm cannons inflicted horrific damage on them.

Many of the cavalry ran and ran, and blood sprayed on their bodies, and then they rolled to death on the spot, and even their mounts were killed and knocked down.

In addition, many rocket launchers were not intercepted and also smashed on the heads of the cavalry, which also caused a large number of casualties, which made the cavalry of the vanguard suffer heavy casualties.

However, although the Four Heavenly Kings were distressed to death, they also knew that there was no turning back when they opened their bows, so no one ordered the troops to be withdrawn, but gritted their teeth and ordered the troops to step up their pursuit.

Because the cavalry that followed the siege beast was almost dead and wounded, only the small cavalry that was close behind the siege beast's ass survived under the cover of the siege beast, and the rest died under the rocket artillery and 20mm machine guns.

And at this time, there was a problem, the cavalry behind the four siege beasts died too much, and there was a relatively large gap, and there were not enough troops to protect them.

The Four Heavenly Kings were not stupid, and when they saw that something was wrong with this situation, they hurriedly urged the cavalry behind them to catch up.

But at this time, it is not easy to chase again, one is because the siege beast is blessed with the acceleration technique, and it is not easy to chase.

The other is because after the soldiers in front of them suffered heavy casualties, they left a lot of corpses on the ground, and these corpses formed an obstacle, and if you want to step on the corpses and run wildly, the speed will naturally be reduced.

And the most important thing is that the roar of the 20mm cannon has not stopped, and it has been bombarding the cavalry chasing behind, causing their casualties to increase and slow down the pursuit.

Even those rocket artillery were bullying them, because the mage regiment was a little careless at this time, and the magic shield protected the siege beasts in front, so there was no way to cover the cavalry behind, resulting in increased casualties among the cavalry in the rear.

In this way, the cavalry troops chasing behind not only did not quickly catch up with the rushing siege beasts, but fell farther and farther.

Finally, the siege beast rushed into the area less than a kilometer away from the city wall, and thousands of people on the city wall finally began to threaten.

They also blasted angry bullets at the cavalry in the distance, and no one had ever bothered with the siege beasts from beginning to end.

Thousands of alchemy guns fired together, and the bullets that came out were like pouring rain, smashing into those cavalry, instantly increasing their casualty speed by more than two times, and the follow-up team was forced to slow down.

As a result, under the combined attack of rocket artillery, 20mm machine guns and alchemical guns, the casualties of the cavalry became larger and slower, and the distance from the siege monsters in front of them became farther and farther away.
