On the Seven Towers

Chapter 823 High-altitude ambush

The continuous sound of pneumatic cannons sounded again. The cannonballs crossed a high parabola, and then fell heavily, hitting the city head or behind the city wall. Although the mage's eyes were obscured by magic power, it did not affect the artillery battalion's attack on the target determined by Wang Jiyuan.

This time, more than 300 mortars also joined the attack. The range of more than one kilometer was sufficient for these small pneumatic cannons, so the explosion effect was several times more violent than when they bombarded the city gates and suppressed the city walls before. .

In this attack, these artillery crews replaced armor-piercing bullets with shield-breaking bullets and various elemental bullets. From a distance, in addition to the explosion of fire, there were also various magical lights lighting up, including lightning, frost, and flames. No matter how high a person's cultivation level is, if he stands in these areas, it will be a disaster.

In addition to the pneumatic cannon, there is also a spell-casting team composed of five mage classes. Taking advantage of the enemy's inability to suppress them at the top of the city, they flew closer to Heimuguan. Their mission was to use joint spell-casting to project into the city. Group dispersing magic is useless against the city gates of Heimuguan, but it is very threatening to individual enemies. If the enemies behind the city wall are protected by magic, they may be inexplicably hit by the dispersing magic falling from the sky. In the middle, the shield on his body was lost in a daze.

Huang Zheng stood at the front of the commando team and said: "These Imperial people will understand today why artillery is the terminator of the city wall. Even if it cannot destroy the city wall, it will destroy everyone above and below the city wall."

Gabriel held a long sword in his hand and the God of War armor was already on his body. He said: "They may not realize that Heimuguan has now changed from a natural barrier to a prison."

"It's really a terrifying cage in flames. In recent weeks, other imperial generals and I have been deducing how you will attack Blackwood Pass." The Black Guards commander Mollet looked very complicated, with a mixture of awe and fear in his eyes. Frustrated, "However, no matter how much we imagined, we could not imagine that you would fight us in this way. People are still one kilometer away, and you can already cause decisive damage. We know that your pneumatic cannons are powerful, but today The scale of the attack was more than ten times that of when we attacked Heimuguan. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that the artillery shells could have such an amazing effect.”

"This is a qualitative change caused by a quantitative change." Huang Zheng said: "What form do you think the Imperial people will use to fight, and what will be the effect of this round of artillery fire?"

Molliet said: "Since they did not choose to go out of the city to fight before, they must have formed an array behind the gate. The imperial army has a big problem, that is, although the beast legions are powerful, they must be commanded well, otherwise they will Once they become wild, it will be difficult to control them. If they do not defend their position behind the goal, but directly enter the street fighting, it will become a mess. By then, the upper echelons of the imperial army will lose control of the lower ones, and it will be determined whether they win or lose. It’s hard to predict.

But since Emperor Alfred is here, he should not allow this to happen. He is a person with a strong desire to control. He always wanted to fight a war that he controlled. Therefore, guarding the city gate and advancing later is an inevitable choice. "

"That is to say, they are very likely to receive this round of bombardment completely." Huang Zheng said.

Mollett nodded slowly.

"However, if I were the commander of the other side and knew that the enemy's artillery fire was powerful, I would not have deployed all the troops before the enemy charged. Therefore, we should go on the field and push those troops to the point of no return. At the position where he didn't appear." Huang Zheng checked the time again and said, "Let's go!"

Following his order, the team around him began to advance quickly towards the city gate. At the front was the golem team led by Gama. These steel bodies advanced at the same rhythm. Their metal feet stepped on the ground again and again, making a rumbling sound. There were only a few dozen demon statues, but the momentum of thousands of people charging was already a bit like that of the past. The feeling of the Black Dragon Empire Golem Legion. But the warriors who controlled these golems just followed them from a distance and did not charge quickly.

Behind the golem are several high-level mages headed by Glade. They float in the air and follow the golem. Their task is to build a bridge for the golem that can cross the moat. The elf alchemist Maya is also following them, ready to repair the golem that may have problems at any time, and her own high-level strength in both magic and martial arts is also a combat power that cannot be ignored.

Separated some distance behind are Huang Zheng and the masters. Their task is naturally to rush through the city gate quickly after the golems attract the attack, establish an advantage as soon as possible, and deal with the enemy masters at the same time. And at the end of the list are the Spiritual Attendants. Their survivability is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. Therefore, it is most appropriate to send them to rush into such dangerous situations.

After Huang Zheng's troops set off, a regiment of regular guards followed them and headed towards Heimuguan. As long as they could capture the city gate, the mission of this troops was to clear out the enemies in the city.

As the commando team advanced, hundreds of people flew up from inside Heimuguan, crossed the city wall filled with artillery fire, and flew in the direction of the commando team's advance from the air. These people are all magicians in Blackwood Pass, led by the three great magicians Gandas, Edel and Avellino, who came to block the advance of the commando.

These imperial mages did not dare to cast spells under artillery fire on the top of the city, nor did they dare to stay on the parabola where the shells fell. Therefore, they had no choice but to fly out of the city wall from both sides of the shelling area, and then move closer to the center to attack.

However, before the imperial mages could attack Huang Zheng's army, arrows and magic were thrown at them from higher in the sky. It was Gordon, Lorenzo and Di Ning, three great magicians, who led a mixed force of humans, dark elves and high elves. They had mages and magic archers. They suddenly appeared from the invisible magic and began to attack the imperial mages from a high position.

Master Gordon's team had been hiding in a high altitude to avoid the imperials' invisible detection. When Huang Zheng launched the attack, they also flew down from the high-altitude ambush and really bumped into the imperials who came out to block them.

Although the imperial mages all had shields, these invisible enemies who fell from high altitudes, with the help of the weather and the terrain, suppressed them at once. The arrows of the magic archers had been treated with a certain magic-breaking process. Although they were far inferior to the genuine magic-breaking arrows, they were also quite threatening to the shields of the imperial mages.

The mages led by Gandas were completely unable to take care of the enemies on the ground and could only hastily engage the enemies in the air and engage in a group battle of mages.
