In fact, if the main army was still there, eighty percent of them would have already been killed, and with the flying battleships in the sky and a large number of air force cover, maybe they could really turn defeat into victory.

But it's a pity that the main army has gone to besiege Emperor Shitian, and all of them are transferred away, you are the territory, there are only some crooked melons and cracked dates left, and even the bronze-level troops are not more than a thousand, and they are also second-line troops that are not fully armed.

Under such circumstances, how can we counterattack the hundreds of thousands of troops outside? It would be good to be able to guarantee that they would not be killed by artillery.

In fact, the reason for such a strange situation can only be blamed on the Lionheart King for being too cautious.

These guys were afraid that someone would cheat and cheat, so when they called everyone to sign the contract, they deliberately stipulated this article, no one could leave any main force at home, and they had to be sent out to besiege Emperor Shitian.

Although the lords were a little unhappy, afraid of the emptiness of the lair's defense, they finally agreed under the persuasion of the mentors.

One is because Emperor Shi Tian is indeed famous for his fierce and powerful strength, and the lords also feel that they must do their best to defeat him.

Another reason is that due to the pressure of everyone, no one else stays in the main army, and it is not appropriate for you to stay in the main army, and people will think, do you want to go back to your hometown when the main force of others is not at home?

So in order for everyone to rest assured, no one wants to leave the main army behind.

As a result, all the lords honestly took away the main army, leaving only some second-line troops at home, which caused them to become so weak in the face of the onslaught of the main army of Emperor Shitian, and they were all vulnerable.

After the artillery cleared all the defenses and a large number of defenders, the Holy Maiden of Yuelan immediately ordered a general attack.

The first to be dispatched was the necromantic airship, flying from all directions, condescendingly, using 20mm cannons to strafe all those who resisted below.

In fact, after being cleaned up by the cannons, there was only a group of frightened defenders left, and the resistance was very weak, and there was no way to take the necromantic airship in the sky at all, so they could only watch the slaughter from the sky.

Only a few clever ghosts would sneak into the building and hide, and they barely survived.

But this is obviously only temporary, because the next step is the rampage of ground forces.

The Minotaur Heavy Lancers, like wild horses on the loose, rushed from all directions like a tsunami.

The strong city walls, full of gaps, could not stop the footsteps of the steel wolf at all, and they easily rushed in.

The 30mm cannon was in his hand, but he rarely had a chance to open fire, because the cannon and the necromantic airship in the sky were too strong to leave them with many enemies at all.

Finally one appeared, and immediately more than a dozen minotaurs opened fire, and the poor little body was obviously able to break into two with a 30 mm cannon, and Xiao Lusheng was shot more than a dozen times, and the whole person was shattered.

Of course, there will also be some sporadic masters lurking in it, some of them are recuperating at home from injuries, and some are magic blacksmiths and other professions, which need to be produced in the territory, so they did not follow the main army to participate in the war.

And now that they have been killed by others, they naturally have no way to hide anymore, and from time to time they will jump out and attack the Minotaurs.

But alas, these guys can rarely do any damage, because the Minotaur will not stupidly rush to the front, and the front is all cannon fodder with a keen sense of smell like Crazy Iron Dog.

There are no ambushes, traps can trick them. Even if you hide in the house, they will find out.

So the most that those masters are angry with them, and after jumping out and killing a few crazy dogs, they will be set on fire by the minotaur gunners, even if they are silver-level fighters, they can't withstand the fierce fire of the 30mm cannon.

However, there are some mages and archers who can sneak up on the minotaurs, sometimes causing serious injuries or even death, but the results are not ideal.

In addition to the strong defenses of the minotaurs themselves, the key is that they are protected by a group of mages above their heads.

Once there is a master, the mage will be protected as soon as he comes, and then kill the second time.

In the face of thousands of army raids, it is basically difficult for a single master to fight.

Even a gold-level powerhouse, against thousands of minotaur lancers, plus a 50-person magic carpet mage group, basically has little room for resistance, at most it is just to kill a few more minotaurs, and they will be killed soon anyway.

Even the Assassins, who were adept at escaping, had no chance of surviving on the battlefield.

There is no way, there are too many mages under the command of the Yuelan Holy Maiden, and these guys are most afraid of being attacked by assassins, so as soon as they go to the battlefield, they all open the anti-hidden enchantment, and with the terrifying sense of smell of the crazy iron dog, it is almost impossible to sneak away from the encirclement of the army.

Anyway, under the terrifying firepower of Emperor Shitian's main army, the entire city had little ability to resist.

Originally, they had a small army, and after being baptized by artillery and necromantic airships, they were even more stragglers left.

Even if some officers organize a group of men, they will be immediately discovered and besieged by the necromantic airships in the sky, and they will soon be all killed or scattered.

Of course, there are also some remnants of the defeated army who hide in buildings to survive, intending to take advantage of the narrow terrain to resist stubbornly.

But don't forget, the Minotaur Lancers had a terrible artillery unit behind their butts.

Orc mortars, but they like Ken fortifications the most. As soon as you see a stubborn guy hiding in a building, a 180mm mortar howitzer will be erected immediately.

This is followed by the fierce bombardment of dozens of kilograms of cannonballs, basically, after losing the magic shield, there are not many buildings that can withstand the explosive power of this cannonball, basically a few cannonballs can destroy a building, and those who don't come out will be crushed to death in it.

And maybe it will attract the attention of the mage group, and those guys are even more ruthless, and the gold-level spells released by the joint release can use various tricks to eliminate the enemy hiding in the building.

All in all, under the onslaught of hundreds of thousands of wolf-like troops, the second-line garrison corps, which had already become a remnant of the defeated army, was simply vulnerable.

In the end, the casualties paid by the Yuelan Holy Maiden were not even in the triple digits, most of them were dogs, and the Minotaur with the most casualties only died three or five.

But their results were brilliant, and the city of hundreds of thousands of people was largely razed to the ground.

Most of the defenders were annihilated, and the rest simply surrendered, and the second-line troops were not qualified to sign a magic contract with the lord anyway.

As for the population here, most of them are slaves who work for work, so they will not die fighting for the sake of slave owners, and basically choose to surrender wisely.

It took more than an hour in total, and the Holy Maiden of Yuelan captured this strong-defended city.

According to the order arranged by Emperor Shi Tian in advance, the Holy Maiden of Yuelan immediately ordered a sweep.

The City Lord's Mansion, the various warehouses, this alchemy workshop, all the valuable things must be taken away.

The Yuelan Holy Maiden herself has hundreds of thousands of troops here, plus the hundreds of thousands of slaves who surrendered, so that she has sufficient manpower.

Even though all kinds of materials were piled up here, it didn't take her too much time, and it was almost cleaned up in half a day.

This time, Emperor Shi Tian is much more promising than before, at least he won't leave even a brick to others.

After all, Emperor Shi Tian is now wealthy, so ordinary things are not eye-catching, at least he has to know the above materials or equipment before he takes them.

The brutal shelling of the Yuelan Holy Maiden destroyed a lot of materials, so the workload of carrying it was greatly reduced, so the clean-up work could be completed in such a short time.

Anyway, by the time the Holy Maiden of Yuelan left, this prosperous city was basically only an empty shell, and there might still be a lot of houses, but the population inside had all disappeared, and the warehouses were clean enough to starve rats to death.

Of course, there are still a lot of ordinary iron ore, copper ore and other things left, this thing is large and worthless, so Emperor Shi Tian is too lazy to ask for it.

As for the rest of the things, even leather, silk and linen, and grain, they were all the objects of Emperor Shitian's convergence.

Especially for food, Emperor Shi Tian strictly ordered not to leave a single thing, and before leaving, he had to destroy the teleportation array and magic pool, as well as any other decent and important buildings.

In short, the city is basically completely finished, and it may not even be worth rebuilding.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that you must not think that the main army of Emperor Shi Tian is only sweeping the city, in fact, people also sweep everything along the way, where they can be cleaned.

Without delaying the march, if a good resource point is encountered, especially a large farm, where food is produced, small detachments will be sent to carry out looting and sabotage work.

Since Emperor Shi Tian had a large number of necromantic airships in his hands, these necromantic airships flew quickly and could also be used to transport troops and materials, so they were especially suitable for small-scale sweeping operations.

Especially those resource points are not heavily guarded, often only a hundred necromantic airships are required to turn around in the sky, and the defenders can be wiped out, and then the landing force in the necromantic airship can be sent out, and the resource points can be quickly occupied.

Then the necromantic airship will turn into a means of transport, emptying all the materials in the resource point, and destroying all the materials that cannot be loaded.

Of course, if you can't move food and other important materials, you can come again, anyway, there are a lot of necromantic airships, and the speed is also fast, and they are also very good at transporting materials.

After capturing the city, the Holy Maiden of Yuelan ordered the troops to sweep at the same time, and she came to the main gate of the city wall with a smile.

There is a very ornate gate tower on the main gate wall of the city, which is 100 meters high and has a majestic shape, and there are many gargoyles sculptures on it, all of which are lifelike.
