Chapter 785: The Attack Is Blocked (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
However, the advance along the sides of the city wall soon encountered great resistance, with heavy casualties, and the speed of the advance was not very fast.
And most importantly, even the city walls that have been occupied are still under threat.
The reason for this situation was that Emperor Shi Tian found that the most critical problem was actually in the buildings under the city walls.
The Demon Castle is also a thriving place, with millions of demons stationed all year round, and tall and sturdy buildings built everywhere.
Thanks to the abundant iron elements in this place, even if it is only a civil building, it is very strong.
In this case, the hastily advancing forces of the Emperor Shi only destroyed those defensive buildings, such as the Demon Tower, the Arrow Tower, the Catapult Platform, and so on.
But for those ordinary warehouses, or military barracks, or other civilian buildings, there is certainly no chance of destroying them.
One is too late, and the other is reluctant to shells and spells.
After all, these are ordinary buildings that make no sense at all, and it is really a bit of a waste to destroy them with precious spells and cannonballs in the heat of battle.
Moreover, these ordinary buildings are not a little bit, but are densely piled together, endlessly, and it is not easy to destroy them.
In this case, the attacking troops sent by Emperor Shi Tian naturally didn't bother to pay attention to them, and after clearing the defensive structures that were in the way, they continued to attack.
As a result, they didn't expect that although these ordinary buildings themselves had no offensive ability, they became the best cover.
Many demonic troops suddenly appeared from these buildings, using long-range spells to sneak attack from the windows.
These demons are extremely cunning, basically, they all change places with one shot, and they don't give a chance to fight back at all.
Emperor Shakti's troops had powerful long-range firepower, but there was nothing very good to do with them, whether it was a 30mm cannon or a 50mm grenade, there was nothing good to do with these sturdy buildings.
Even those mages don't use spells to destroy buildings, they usually just throw a few fireballs or something into the window, and it's best if they can be blown up, and even if they can't.
But in the face of these extremely cunning demons, Emperor Shitian's troops were very powerless, and most of them were empty.
After all, these troops were still busy on their way, and there was no way to waste too much time on these demons.
Perhaps at the beginning, the losses were not too great, but over time, after the front gradually lengthened to several kilometers, this loss became large.
After all, Emperor Shitian's troops can only move on the city wall, and a big walk of several kilometers is simply a live target, constantly being attacked and constantly losing, but there is no good way.
Due to the great losses along the way, the troops in the forward began to be tightened, and the soldiers who died in front were not replenished in the rear, which naturally reduced the impact of the troops.
Fortunately, Emperor Shi Tian's reaction was very fast, and as soon as he saw this situation, he immediately ordered to stop the attack and stick to the spot.
Not only that, but Emperor Shakti also ordered the mage to start destroying the buildings next to them, preferring to turn them into ruins rather than give the demons a place to hide.
I have to say that once Emperor Shitian's elite troops get serious, the sneak attack demons will have nothing good to eat.
A bunch of minotaur precision shooters on the city wall, as long as they see a demon appear below, it is a shot, the terrifying power of a 30mm machine gun can shatter black iron, and even bronze level demons can be severely injured.
Under the point kills of these accurate shooters, the sneak attack demons also began to suffer a large number of casualties, and they were killed before they even had time to release the sneak attack spell.
This greatly reduced the casualties of Emperor Shi Tian and basically stabilized the battle line.
At the same time, Emperor Shi Tian also realized that if he wanted to build such a huge war fortress, it was by no means something that could be done in a moment, and he had to fight steadily and slowly.
So he didn't bother to continue to send troops to charge, and instead began to transfer the 250mm heavy gun, directly placed it on the city, and then fired wildly at the targets in the city.
First of all, clear out the houses that are close to you, and never give the demon a chance to sneak up on you.
4,000 heavy artillery pieces were erected on the head of the city, and this heavy bombardment caused all kinds of houses and buildings under the city wall to fall into bad luck in an instant, and a shell of several hundred kilograms could directly destroy several houses.
Soon, Emperor Shi Tian occupied more than ten kilometers below the city wall, and there were no more intact buildings.
And Emperor Shi Tian has not stopped, and continues to extend the artillery fire into the city, that is, to destroy all visible buildings.
Seeing this scene, Scott's eyes straightened in shock, and they all shouted, "Lord Shitian, don't you want to destroy the entire demon castle with cannonballs?"
"How many shells does that have?"
"Can't we just ignore the shells because we pay for them!"
When Emperor Shi heard their complaints, he immediately reacted, realizing that he had indeed done a bit ruthlessly, and if he just destroyed the house with cannonballs, the consumption would probably make Scott and them bankrupt.
So, Emperor Shi Tian immediately smiled and said, "No, no, now it's just to gain a firm foothold, and I have to do it." Once we have settled in this area, it is time to push forward with crowd tactics, and it is impossible to destroy all the houses with shells. ”
"Push the crowd tactics forward?" Scott was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "The demon tower and other defensive buildings on the opposite side are at least hundreds of thousands, is it appropriate to push them like this?"
"yes, how many people would have to die?"
"It seems that according to our agreement, we will also bear the burden of these dead cannon fodder, right?"
Emperor Shi Tian smiled slightly and said, "Just rest assured, the cannon fodder I am talking about is not what you have seen." ”
"Are there any other cannon fodder?" said Scott curiously.
"Yes!" Emperor Shi Tian nodded, and then said, "But before that, we have to occupy a teleportation array first, so that we can send the cannon fodder troops over." ”
"It's easy!" Scott immediately said: "You must have been prepared, so in the direction of this raid, there is a teleportation array, which is only more than 30 kilometers away from the city wall. ”
"My vanguard has already been killed, and after crossing the ruins that had been knocked out by the carpet bombardment, it is only about ten kilometers away from the teleportation array. Emperor Shi Tian frowned and said: "However, the traditional array is the focus of people's defense, and these ten kilometers are not easy, there are thousands of demon towers alone on the way, and there are tens of thousands of other defense buildings." If you want to kill the past in one go, I'm afraid you will have to use the legendary power!"
"How much do you want to use?" asked Scott, immediately frowning.
According to the agreement between the two parties, Scott and the others are obliged to invest legendary masters at critical moments to make up for the lack of high-end combat power of Emperor Shitian.
Emperor Shi Tian thought for a moment and said, "I plan to cover it with artillery, and the legendary master will surprise it, and after attracting the attention of the opponent's long-range firepower, I will use carpet bombardment to destroy the houses and everything there." If you want to contain the opponent's long-range firepower as much as possible, you need at least 20 legendary powerhouses. ”
"But what if the other party also invests in the same number of legendary masters?" asked Scott, frowning.
"Then fight!" Emperor Shi Tian pouted disdainfully, "You must know that the battle between legendary masters is also affected by their respective troops. My side is strong and strong, and I am completely sure to crush the cannon fodder brought by the opponent's legendary masters, and then help your masters to besiege those demon legends, and it will definitely be us who will win in the end. ”
"Alright then!" Scott has also seen the power of the Minotaur Lancers and Orc Howitzers, once their numbers increase, they can indeed cause great trouble to the legendary masters, and even damage, even if they can't kill the other party, they can also be greatly contained.
Especially the 30mm cannon, the lethality is huge, and the range is long, even if it is a legendary master, in the face of thousands of such cannons, I am afraid that he can only return with a feather, and he does not dare to resist at all.
In this case, as long as Emperor Shi Tian is willing to sacrifice his elite troops, Scott's legendary master is absolutely sure to defeat or even destroy the opponent's legend.
Seeing that Scott agreed, Emperor Shi Tian immediately said excitedly: "Without further ado, please try to send out masters as quickly as possible, it is best to ask for some rough skin and thick flesh and great lethality." ”
"Understood!" Scott nodded, and then discussed it with his classmates.
In a short time, 20 golden-armored giants fell from the tower, stepped on the flying module equipped for them by Emperor Shitian, and headed straight for the front line.
These golden armor giants are all more than 30 meters tall, and they are covered with heavy and gorgeous golden armor all over their bodies, and the whole set of armor is a legendary treasure, and from time to time there will be a scene surrounded by lightning, which looks extremely gorgeous and magnificent!
Just when these 20 Titan Giant Legendary powerhouses arrived at the front line, Emperor Shitian's vanguard had already crossed the ruins area and assembled at the border of the ruins.
There were craters everywhere from aerial bombs, and more than 60% of the surrounding houses were destroyed, and the rest were in tatters and crumbling, apparently not lightly injured by the shock wave of the explosion.
There are also some demons hidden in it that are lucky not to die, but at this time, all the demons are deeply hidden, and no one dares to come out and sneak attack.
The reason is very simple, there are really more troops gathered here, the army alone has nearly a million people, and there are also a million air forces resting on the ground.
In addition, a few kilometers to the rear, 4,000 250-mm heavy guns were arranged, which had just been airlifted in from outside the city, and intensive commissioning work was underway.
After the 20 Titan Legends arrived, they were immediately surprised to find that there was also a Emperor Shi Tian here.
They all thought that this was the doppelganger of Emperor Shitian, so they didn't pay too much attention to it, and just stood silently to the side and waited for the order.
