Chapter 1162

The first round of arrow shooting destroyed thousands of skeleton soldiers on the spot.

However, this number is a negligible number for more than 300000 dead cannon fodder. It can even be said that the number can be ignored. In particular, these skeletons broken into bone fragments on the spot are just the most ordinary skeleton soldiers.

Although skeleton soldiers are divided in more detail, they can be basically classified into three types: skeleton swordsman with sword, skeleton gunner with long gun and skeleton archer with bow and arrow, which can be summarized into three types: short-range, medium-range and long-range. Because it is a unified form of resurrected undead, there are relatively consistent configurations in body shape and weapons, and there are rarely too special situations. After all, it is only a second-order undead creature, which is not worth wasting their mind by those undead mages.

However, at this time, only skeleton swordsmen and skeleton archers appeared on the battlefield. Perhaps because they knew they were going to attack the city, they didn't see skeleton gunmen.

In the field, the killing power of the gunmen is much higher than that of the sword soldiers, but in the siege, unless they have entered the occupation battle of the city wall, the long gunmen are not suitable for the siege environment.

After the first round of arrow rain coverage attack, soon more undead creatures continued to charge on their companions' bodies.

This time, the real war begins.

The spread of the undead army is completely the same length as the whole fortress wall, but different from the wall, they have a greater thickness. Moreover, after the first wave of arrow rain covered attack, the undead pioneer army had some subtle changes - this change seems to have nothing special, but it is no longer skeleton swordsmen, but lower level skeleton soldiers who rush in front.

This is only a first-order skeleton creature. Their body bones look a little gray and yellow, as if they are seriously short of calcium. There are even cracks in some places, and even the weapons in their hands are rusty. It seems that they can't cut people at all. But on the contrary, they have the equipment that other undead creatures do not have - shield. This round wood shield without even iron sheet may not be able to block a powerful arrow shot from the steel winged soldiers, but it is enough to weaken the power of arrow coverage.

"Leave those skeleton soldiers alone!" Although Abaza has not entered the golden territory, he is no longer the lengtouqing in those years. He can see at a glance that these skeleton soldiers are not a threat at all. If it is not for the position of the dead creatures of the skeleton system, he doesn't even want to waste his precious arrows on those skeleton soldiers.

"No." This time it was Levi who spoke against it.

As soon as he returned the bow and arrow in his hand to Abaza, he opened his mouth and explained: "in other places, we may ignore these skeleton soldiers, but we absolutely can't do it in the urban defense war. Because these guys are the ladder of the army of the dead. Once these guys build a road close to the wall, the skeleton cavalry behind them can charge. "

"Charge?" Abaza was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "let them come."

Then the whole steel winged soldiers laughed.

Levi is a new commander who has just joined the void duchy. Therefore, he does not know that the most famous achievement of steel wing in that year was to block the group charge of the most famous cavalry regiment in the kingdom of dabion. Perhaps other enemies will make steel wings a taboo, but the cavalry charge, which makes countless infantry troops pale, is the least they need to worry about.

Levi wondered why these people laughed so happily.

Alfred came forward and patted him on the shoulder: "steel wings are called steel. Do you think they're just nice? What their regiment is most afraid of is charging. There is no difference between cavalry and knight. "

Just as Alfred and levy were talking, the steel winged archers had shot two more rounds of arrow rain. But after all, they did not completely let go of the skeleton soldiers, but began to limit their attack pace. However, the main force covered by the attack was still slightly in a more rear position, and those undead creatures were the real combat main force of this vanguard army.

"Two thirds of the benchmark!" A scout issued a warning.

The vanguard of the undead army is close to the position of two-thirds of the benchmark.

"The second and third columns of the bow troops cover and shoot alternately!"

Abaza raised his right hand and waved it suddenly. The archers standing in the second column no longer shot with full strings, but began to cover and attack the undead creatures close to the second benchmark line alternately with the archers in the third column. Only the archers at the forefront still keep shooting at the furthest undead in a full string state, but because the second column that should have shot alternately gave up the furthest shooting, it is naturally not more efficient than before.

But this time, all the steel winged archers standing on the wall began to shoot, covering a wider attack area, and the threat to the undead army naturally increased a lot. Almost every moment, thousands of undead were hit into pieces of bone fragments by powerful arrows, most of which were directly shot through the skull by an arrow and extinguished the fire of the soul.

But even so, for this army of the dead, it is still completely unable to shake it.

And as more undead troops poured into the front, skeleton archers began to appear in the sight of the steel winged soldiers.

But in the face of these skeleton archers, no one pays attention to them.

The void principality may not have a special understanding of the intelligence data of the dead, but it still has an understanding of the most conventional knowledge of the dead: skeleton archers, second-order undead creatures, the effective shooting distance is less than 100 meters, and the best killing distance is 30 to 60 meters. In other words, the so-called skeleton archers are not much more threatening than a hunter holding a hunting bow.

Standing on the city wall up to 30 meters, it is the city defense side. Skeleton archers are even 300 meters away from the city wall. These skeleton archers are no different from live targets in the eyes of steel wing archers. Therefore, there is almost a tacit understanding. The arrows of all steel wings and archers avoid these skeleton archers, because all the empty barbarians, including Abaza, think it is the problem of the commander of the undead army, and unexpectedly put skeleton archers into use so soon.

If the undead army attacks the city wall, and then let these skeleton archers push under the city wall, it may pose a certain threat to the defenders.

As for now?

No one cares at all.

The distance between the two-thirds pole and the half chord pole is only about 100 meters.

Therefore, when the undead army crossed the two-thirds of the benchmark, it naturally soon pushed the front to the position of the half chord benchmark, which is only about 200 meters away from the city wall. If it is a real siege, the attacker will generally start to rush forward desperately after arriving at this position, and then try to climb the wall and fight with the defenders - all those who have fought the siege and defense of the city war know that the closer they are to the wall, especially at the last 100 meters, the fighting between the two sides will be more bloody and tragic.

But in the face of the unconscious army of the dead, the situation naturally appears very strange.

All the undead creatures did not make any final crazy charge, but still kept their tepid rhythm and pushed forward slowly. The defenders with steel wings naturally want the undead army to continue to do so, because they have more time to shoot. This may not really destroy the undead creatures attacking the city, but it can at least weaken the number of these undead armies to a certain extent.

Facing the army of the dead who had entered the half chord benchmark, Abaza didn't say anything, but made a tactical gesture.

Soon, several heralds began to wave the command flag signal.

At the next moment, another third of the steel winged soldiers who did not climb the wall also began to take down bows and arrows and then take arrows. At one command of the command flag, all the empty barbarians immediately released their right hands and shot the arrows from the bow.

The dense arrows draw a parabola from the fortress, and then shoot at all the armies of the dead across the half chord benchmark. Under the double force, these dead soldiers were soon hit more deadly than the wall of the Fortress - although the coverage of this wave of arrow rain was much smaller, and even the accuracy was much worse, the penetration strength was much higher than that of the defenders of the city wall.

The continuous arrow rain strikes, under normal circumstances, have long been enough to bring the enemy's morale close to collapse. Even if it is a general dead tide war or a corpse invasion war, it is enough to let the undead commander know the difficulty of the fortress. It is absolutely not so that a mere cannon fodder force can invade it. The best choice is to withdraw troops and formulate a new strategy: or attack in another place, or mobilize the sequence of the undead regular army.

But the cannon fodder army in front of us seemed to know nothing about war. It was still just a brain attack, completely ignoring casualties and consequences.

In a short period of more than ten minutes, from the advance of the front line of the dead army to the present, although the skeleton army at the forefront is only a hundred meters away from the city wall, the casualties of the dead cannon fodder army have exceeded 30000 injuries since the first thousands of skeletons.

Even the whole skeleton sea can feel its obvious weakening and reduction.

"The situation is wrong." William frowned slightly.

"The cannon fodder of the dead army can't be so crazy aggressive." Levi also found the problem. "We have used tens of thousands of arrows. Even if every three arrows can only solve one skeleton, the enemy will at least die more than 30000."

"This is not an ordinary temptation, but a consumption of our strategic materials!" William said in a deep voice, "if so..."

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow polished from the arm bone suddenly came at William!

Suddenly a silver light came from the air - Levi reacted at the first time and waved his sword to intercept the arrow.

But the next moment, the sharp sound of breaking the air sounded one after another.

In an instant, the steel winged soldiers at the forefront quickly fell down like harvested wheat. Many of the more unlucky ones fell directly from the 30 meter high city wall to the ground; Most of the soldiers were directly hit at the key parts, such as throat, eyes and so on. Only a few steel winged soldiers were lucky to escape this sudden disaster, only slightly injured.

"Skeleton Archer!" Levi escorted William back quickly.

"Column shield!" The voice of Abaza also sounded at the same time as Levi's cry.

Without any hesitation, the steel winged soldiers at the forefront directly gave up and continued shooting, and then quickly took up the nearby impact shield to protect themselves. This practice of not hesitating about the order spared the soldiers with steel wings from the next disaster - the jingling collision sound sounded at the same speed as the continuous attack of arrow rain before the steel wings.

"Damn it!" Abaza let out an angry roar, "when did the undead become so cunning! Those skeleton archers are hidden among skeleton archers. The number must be at least 20000! "

If the skeleton Archer is only the most common archer in the human army, then the skeleton Archer can be regarded as a strong Archer for the upgrading of the archer arms. The skeleton Archer is much stronger than the skeleton archer in terms of shooting strength, penetration and range. This level 4 undead creature has a shooting range of more than 200 meters, and the arrows they use are special bone arrows, which allows them to enjoy a certain degree of damage bonus.

If Levi wasn't around William just now, it's likely that the conspiracy attack will make the whole fortress lose its top commander.

However, the current situation is not too favorable for the steel wing.

More than 20000, or perhaps more, skeleton archers began to launch a fierce counterattack when they came to the half chord post 200 meters away from the fortress wall. In this counterattack, they did not stop, but continued to advance towards the front. With the advance of these skeleton archers, their attack became more and more fierce, and even completely suppressed the steel wing shooting on the city wall.

They are not afraid to change their lives with steel winged soldiers, but Abaza can't give such a brainless order that is basically an act of death. He can only take advantage of the momentum of these skeletal archers to stop slightly and order the second and third rows of archers to launch a counterattack. Although he had known for a long time that they could not stop the advance of the undead army and did not care about the loss, when they were really suppressed and could not slow down the progress of the undead, Abaza still felt very angry.

While the skeleton archers counterattack, it seems to be a signal of attack for the whole undead army.

The skeleton mage, who had stayed in the distance without any movement at all, finally began to move forward again. Every time their wands fall to the ground, a black light ball will shoot at the earth in front of them, and then soon, those skeletons that are not seriously damaged will be reorganized again.

Although this spell has great defects and can only return these skeletons to the lowest skeleton soldiers, when everyone on the city wall saw these skeletons that had been destroyed once again get up again, their hearts still felt a burst of suffocation.

Alfred clenched the axe in his hand and looked very gloomy: "these damn bone scum William, let me attack! "

"To die?" William sneered mercilessly, "even if you, Clov and Abaza rush up on this scale, it won't help. The enemy is just forcing us out of the city. Why should we meet each other's tactics? No matter how many these skeleton soldiers are, they can't play any role in the battlefield. If they really attack the wall, they will be broken at random, so they are just material consumables. "

"Calling skeleton soldiers in front of the battle is just to weaken our confidence and morale." Levi also added that in dealing with the undead army, Levi from floating island can definitely be regarded as a professional staff, "they are just the material used to build the ladder road The real trouble is the skeleton mages. I bet there must be skeleton mages and so on. "

"Abbaza, order all the steel wings. In addition to the reserve team to maintain coverage attack, the bow troops on the wall don't care about other undead. If they want to build a ladder, let them build it. As long as you find the right opportunity, give it to each other's skeleton mage." William said faintly that there was no eagerness on his face. Some were just calm and calm. If the redness on his face did not completely subside, I'm afraid no one would believe that he is still excited. "Since these skeleton mages dare to enter our attack range, there is no need to be polite to them."

"I see!" Abaza's voice was a little excited.

He couldn't make much sense, but he knew that skeleton soldiers and skeleton soldiers were worthless at all. If he could shoot arrows at those damn skeleton mages, it would be of great value. However, for those skeletal archers who have killed many brothers, he does not intend to let go if he has the opportunity.

Soon, Abaza found an opportunity to shoot a skeleton mage who was too close to the front on the spot.

This immediately caused a panic in the whole skeleton mage group. Many skeleton mages retreated one after another and dared not go forward again. Such a move undoubtedly annoyed those skeletal archers, and their attack immediately became more fierce.

But this time, no one was worried, but a burst of laughter.

The morale, which had been slightly low, was soon promoted and restored again.

However, those skeleton soldiers who rushed to the front finally arrived under the wall.
