Chapter 1745, discretion
In terms of the transformation of the fortifications, although the Europa soldiers are not professional, their work efficiency is much higher than that of the Dark Elf soldiers.
At the same time, considering the time issue, they didn't plan to do any big projects at the beginning.
Basically, with a mentality that one can be installed, one is one, and there is a desperate rush to work.
As a result, after a few days, the efficiency was surprisingly good.
Behind a circle of barriers outside the trench, a lot of defensive cannons have been placed one after another, and it looks like that.
Afterwards, it turned out that Derk's hasty march day and night put them at a distance of almost seven days from the foreign coalition army in the rear.
During these seven days, the soldiers who had a good night's sleep finally recovered their states.
Seven days later, scattered foreign armies arrived at the outskirts of the trench fortress one after another.
They originally thought that Derk would run away again, but they didn't expect that this time, the other party chose to stay and guard the fortress.
"It seems that the other side is also approaching the limit, knowing that there is only one way to escape, so I decided to stick to the fortress, and after adjusting my state, I will fight to the death with us."
While speaking, in the tent for discussion, a foreign military officer suddenly slapped the conference table in front of him.
"Just right! This time, I will make a complete break with them!"
The sea area around the mainland has been blocked by Europa's fleet and murloc army. At the same time, Europa's reinforcements have also landed. During this period, the pressure is not limited to the opposite side. They do not have a joint army, and the pressure is also very high.
In this wave, if they wanted to stabilize their dominance on the mainland, they had to destroy the Dark Elf army and the remnants of Europa before the reinforcements arrived, and then concentrate on dealing with the reinforcements.
There is no nonsense. After a while of discussion, the military officers of various countries directly decided to implement the encirclement strategy.
The armies from all walks of life surrounded the entire fortress in a short period of time.
"General, we are surrounded by foreign armies!"
After confirming the peripheral situation, the guard walked quickly into Delk's temporary office. While speaking, the expression on his face was a bit panicked.
Delk, who heard this, responded with a deep voice, expressing that he knew.
On the surface, his appearance at this time can be said to be abnormally calm, but only he knows the pressure in his heart.
According to the current situation, the foreign coalition army can clearly put pressure on the dark elf army and Europa soldiers under its command just by encircling them.
After a long time, the morale that had just recovered before might have to fall again.
While thinking about it, Delk asked aloud...
"Those foreign troops who surrounded the fortress, have they made any further moves?"
"not yet."
After getting this answer, Delk felt even more stressed.
To be honest, he would rather the opponent take the offensive directly, and he can hold his breath at this time, which shows that the officers of the foreign coalition army are really difficult to deal with...
The fundamental reason lies in two aspects.
The first aspect is that, as mentioned earlier, according to the current situation, just by encircling them with foreign allied armies, they can bring pressure to them and even hit their morale. There is no need to rush to kill them.
And this second aspect is because of the state of the soldiers...
Those foreign armies had just arrived here after traveling a long distance. The soldiers were more or less exhausted.
Under such circumstances, if an offensive is launched in a hurry, the combat effectiveness will already drop by [-]% before the fight begins.
Therefore, it is necessary to take proper rest to allow soldiers to recover before the battle.
They are indeed under a lot of pressure, and the time is getting tighter and tighter, but the people present are all veterans, and they still know the truth of "sharpening a knife and chopping firewood".
Sitting in the office of the fortress, at this moment, Derk's entire face was cloudy and uncertain.
There are two roads before him now...
The first way is to wait. Since the opponent is not in a hurry to launch an offensive, he doesn't have to worry. He can stabilize the morale of the soldiers in the fortress, watch for the right time, and wait for reinforcements while fighting back.
From the current point of view, this road is the safest. The only risk may be that the soldiers may not be able to withstand the pressure of the siege, resulting in a drop in morale.
And the second way is undoubtedly to take the initiative to attack, taking advantage of the foreign army's poor condition, to forcefully attack and beat him.
If he could take this opportunity to severely injure one or even two armies on the opposite side, then he must have made a lot of money, and even the subsequent battles would be much easier.
But obviously, there are also risks in this. Once he takes the initiative to attack, it means that he has to give up his fortress advantage as a defender.
At the same time, what if the other party also sees this point and sets up an ambush for him?
At that time, as soon as his army was killed, he would be besieged by several foreign troops, and then there would be no return.
The current situation made Delk think more, there was no way, if he made a wrong step now, he would be doomed!At that time, not only himself will die, but also his entire army of dark elves, and even the Europa soldiers who followed them.
In this way, after setting up the siege of the city, three days passed quietly.
During these three days, the various foreign armies scattered in various directions maintained communication links through their respective radar vehicles and radio communication equipment.
"This is really not a bait at all. Could it be that the harpies in the sky saw something?"
"Impossible. We haven't moved at all these days. What can the Harpy see? I think the other side guessed it. After all, the other side is not a fool."
"It's really troublesome. It will save trouble if you kill it honestly."
Undoubtedly, just as Derk considered this, so did the various officers of the foreign army.
Although they didn't move at all on the surface, they were actually tensing their nerves secretly.
As soon as the dark elf army comes out, all foreign armies will get the news through the radio communication equipment at the first time, and rush to the battlefield to provide support.
But obviously, no one is a fool, and will not rush into other people's traps foolishly.
Some people always like to think too much about some strategies and strategies, even miraculous.
In fact, the battle between smart people and smart people is often the most boring, because in the end, they basically can't count anyone, and they have no choice but to roll up their sleeves, wrestle their wrists, and fight hard!
Chapter 1746, Receiving
If they didn't know that a reinforcement from Europa was rushing here, then the officers of the various foreign armies would definitely choose to continue the siege unceremoniously.
Surround him without attacking, first surround him for ten days and half a month, and then put pressure on the defenders in the fortress.
Either take the initiative to fight out after forcing the opponent to be unable to hold on, or directly toss the opponent until their morale is low before attacking.
However, according to the current situation, it is obvious that there is not so much time for them to implement such a tactic that takes a lot of time.
On the fourth day of the siege, the horn of attack had already sounded, and armies from various countries launched an offensive towards the fortress surrounded by them almost simultaneously!
Amidst the thundering roar of artillery fire, the artillery troops crazily tilted their firepower, trying to forcibly penetrate the fortress's defense line.
It has to be said that in the face of these increasingly destructive ordnance weapons, the existence significance of the fortress defense line has become less and less.
Fortunately, the former owner of this fortress, that is, the foreign player who lived on the same continent as Philip Albert, was mentally prepared from the very beginning to 'hold tight to his thighs and stick to the line of defense'.
Therefore, the defense lines of the trenches were actually specially reinforced by him. If the four-way Europa army hadn't concentrated fire on him, he really wouldn't have died out.
Now to get back to the topic, this specially reinforced fortress was repaired after being captured by the Europa army, so the defense capability is still quite impressive.
During this period, the defensive artillery deployed inside the fortress naturally launched a counterattack unceremoniously.
The harpy helped them confirm the coordinates, which greatly improved the attack accuracy of the Europa Artillery Troops. When the fight started, they still had a slight advantage.
Of course, Delk knew that this was only temporary, and it was better not to be too happy too soon.
On the other side of the foreign coalition army, both the number of troops and the firepower of the artillery units far surpassed them.
And this advantage will gradually ferment as the battle goes on...
Sure enough, after adjusting the shelling position several times, the foreign artillery units in charge of besieging the fortress became more and more fierce.
In the current situation, Delk, who didn't intend to sit still, could only send the Harpy troops to attack the artillery troops on the opposite side.
After Chris Evans upgraded and unlocked a large number of strengthening items related to the Harpy, the ability of the Harpy has actually been significantly improved.
The Harpy on this side is of course no exception.
And this improvement, in addition to the Harpy's individual combat ability, is also mainly improved on the Harpy's special ability, that is, 'scream'.
The scream from the harpies will negatively affect the enemies within the affected area, and will be covered with a weakening buff.
This special ability, after receiving the blessing of the strengthening item, has a wider range of influence, and at the same time, the weakening range has also increased.
However, no matter how hardened they are, it is impossible for the harpies to drop the attribute panel of the foreign artillery units below with a single voice hundreds of meters away.
In this way, it is necessary to lower the flying altitude so that the foreign soldiers below can enter the range of their skills.
But relatively, in this way, their risks have also increased.
As old rivals who have fought so many times, the two sides, officers of foreign armies, can they not be prepared for the very annoying Harpy in every sense?
Around the artillery unit, a sufficient number of infantry units have already been deployed for protection.
Once the Harpy lowered its flight altitude, the bolt-action rifles in the hands of those foreign soldiers could pose a deadly threat to them!
"General, the other side made it clear that they wanted to use shelling firepower to forcefully knock down our defense line, and then push it up again. With this momentum, the defense line of this fortress won't last for a few days at all!"
The colonel in charge of commanding the Europa Artillery Unit to attack had seriousness written all over his face at this moment.
The same is true for Delk who heard this.
Could he not see the purpose of the opposite party?Of course he saw it!
But do they have a choice?
Now on this battlefield, they are the weak side, and at the same time, the dominant power is also in the hands of the foreign coalition army. They have no choice at all. If they make moves against each other, then they can only accept the move, can't they?That's a dead end!
A wave of skills was brushed up, and he gritted his teeth.
Facing the siege of the foreign coalition army, the dark elf army and Europa troops who chose to defend the fortress lasted for five days.
For the defenders, these five days were like hell. If Chris Evans hadn't given his general a gold-level skill to support him, and forced the morale of the army to not fall below [-] points, Otherwise, the battle situation on this side would have collapsed long ago.
But even so, the atmosphere in the messy trench fortress is already extremely depressing.
The outer trenches have been turned into ruins under the shelling firepower of the foreign coalition army. At this moment, anyone can see how bad the situation on their side is.
It was another day of attack. For several days in a row, the foreign coalition army, which was output by the long-range firepower of artillery units, finally made a new move on this day.
The charge horn blew, and a large number of soldiers with rifles officially advanced towards the fort that was besieged by them.
Obviously, those foreign military officers were already planning to give them the final blow!
Faced with the foreign soldiers who were advancing rapidly under the cover of shelling.
The Europa infantry and Dark Elf crossbowmen deployed by Derk in advance on the outskirts of the fortress shot out successively, trying to suppress these foreign soldiers with long-range firepower.
Although the outer trenches have been reduced to ruins, the soldiers on the defensive side can still find some bunkers in the ruins, which is more or less an advantage.
The process of charging is enough to make the foreign army pay considerable casualties as a price.
Immediately afterwards, after the distance was shortened to a certain extent, the Europa soldiers decisively greeted with grenades.
And almost at the same time, the dark elf mages in the rear unceremoniously cast a first-order weakening spell after receiving Derk's order.
To a certain extent, the first-order weakening spell, combined with the grenade of the soldiers of Europa, had a miraculous effect.
The negative buff that suddenly haunts them, while lowering the physical fitness of foreign soldiers, also greatly increases their chances of making wrong judgments.
Let this wave of grenade attacks clearly expand the number of casualties on the opposite side...
Afterwards, the troops of both sides officially charged together! !
Chapter 1747, Four Sides Siege
Once the battle entered the stage of close combat, Derk's dark elf army undoubtedly had a clear advantage.
But now there is a big problem, and that is the strength of the troops!
Now the combined army of foreign countries is besieging the city on all sides and launching an offensive at the same time.
And Derk's dark elf army has been fighting all the way to the present, and its strength is already very limited.
Concentrating in one place is easy to fight, but for the defenders, even if only one of the four fortresses collapses, the entire fortress will also fall.
In desperation, Delk could only bite the bullet and make arrangements...
The Dark Elf army guarded three sides, two of which were entrusted to the Black Knights, Dark Warriors, and Spearmen of their front row troops, one side was entrusted to Hydra and a small part of Europa troops, and the last side was Give it all to Europa Force.
There is no way to do this.
