Sure enough, Diao Si soon noticed that more and more soldiers of the Hengxue Empire were secretly gathering behind the city wall facing their city gate, and Cockroach was preparing to attack.
This was indeed a good move for Cockroach, because the situation was gradually getting out of control, and she had to take action before the cohesion of the imperial city was in crisis, otherwise some generals might actually rebel.
And if we take action now, if we can win the battle and let them solve the current crisis, maybe the cohesion will come back, and the military morale and even the entire situation will be stabilized again.
Now it was Diao Si's turn to be nervous, but if all the enemies in the imperial city came out in full force at once, it would not be easy to resist them with their strength, especially if they poured out from around the city wall, and they would have to fight with all their might. when.
But this is the only battle left. It is difficult for the Everblood Empire to stabilize. If we defeat them again, I believe that quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes. After pain, there will be light.
How to fight this battle? Diao Si didn't want to fight like this with them, so he didn't let Heng Yuan attack the Hengxue Imperial City. He just wanted to avoid such a result.
There is an ideal way to subdue Cockroach, but after experiencing the previous sneak attack and the failure of trying to control the red warrior, Diao Si has lost confidence in his dark magic. Enemies above the warrior level are not easy to control. of.
Moreover, all the enemies will come out next. If he focuses on attacking Cockroach, he will not be able to command the battlefield. This will easily have very serious consequences.
In addition to controlling cockroaches, they could only use the building they had arranged before, but how could they get cockroaches to gather the team there
It was too late, and there was no time to think too much. Diao Si suddenly became concerned and ordered the generals to move all the cannons aimed at the imperial city gate to the area that had been tampered with by them and could easily collapse. Inside the building complex.
The soldiers knew the situation of this building. Other cannons and cannons were already aimed at the building complex. They couldn't help but worry about Diao Si's order. This was clearly using them to lure the enemy.
"Everyone, please believe me. I will try my best to ensure that no one will make any mistakes. When the enemy approaches, I will give an order for everyone to retreat. When the time comes, everyone will evacuate here immediately."
Seeing the worried expressions of the generals, Diao Si first comforted them, then divided them into two teams and deployed a response strategy. In fact, such a strategy cannot be absolutely safe. You must know that when the enemy sees their artillery array gathered together, they will definitely send key troops or even the entire army to attack.
Time was running out. The deployment around Diao Si had not yet been completed. A large number of enemies suddenly poured out of the imperial city wall. They lowered dozens of ladders from the city wall and poured out.
Diao Si's artillery group also fired immediately, but their artillery was still aimed at the area around the collapsed city gate. Although the firepower was very strong, it could only block part of the enemy's attack, and the scattered enemies surrounded them. .
"The people behind will retreat first. They must retreat to the second line according to the original arrangement and then deploy the second line of defense to wait for us." Diao Si gave the order, and the soldiers behind him turned around and left first.
Therefore, the reason for arranging the retreat in this way is because the enemy who is coming towards them will pay attention to the artillery in front of them. In such a confrontation, they will not pay too much attention to the troops in the rear. In this way, after setting up the second line of defense, they can Those in front of the cover retreated.
In order to prevent the warriors from getting too close, Diao Si also used his electric shock and other magic, combined with the cannon weapons, to block the enemies as much as possible.
"Report to the Emperor, the second line of defense is ready." The general's loud report was already later than Diao Si's budget, and now they were struggling.
"Okay, retreat immediately, don't panic, gather at the designated location and prepare the third line of defense!" Diao Si ordered while continuing to use his magic to resist. Some archers had already thrown the enemy's arrows. His troops had no time to retreat, and the soldiers pushing the cannon began to fall.
But the enemy has not yet entered the range of the trap, and he cannot order the people in ambush around him to take action. Even the tornado magic that may blow down the surrounding buildings cannot be used, so he can only persist like this.
"I've been hit by an arrow and can't walk fast. You go quickly, I'll hold on here with the emperor!" Some soldiers are quite loyal, but what ability do they have to stop such a powerful enemy.
"Are you going to disobey military orders? Retreat quickly and get out of here!" Diao Si continued to use magic as he said it. He turned his head and noticed that the guy who just spoke had been sacrificed.
More and more arrows were coming, and the warriors in front were getting closer and closer. Diao Si moved towards the second line of defense while covering the fallen soldiers.
The enemy rushed to the predetermined position, and then the cannons of the second line of defense rang out, and the enemies who were scattered around suddenly gathered around. Great, this is where Diao Si wants to annihilate the enemy. After seeing the enemy's actions, he asked the people on the second line of defense to withdraw to the third line of defense in advance.
But after the shells slowed down, the enemy's samurai team suddenly approached. They were moving too fast. Diao Si also saw the crippled Cockroach, and she also led the troops herself. It seemed that It won't be easy to stop them this time.
This should be related to the fact that Diao Si had a conversation with her in the imperial city before, and she was stimulated by Diao Si. But her attacking together with her men will have a great impact on morale. These enemies will be stronger than before.
"Retreat, forget about these cannons, leave them behind...retreat immediately!" Diao Si shouted, and the soldiers hurriedly fled toward the third line of defense.
Two red warriors and a group of warriors had already rushed over. One of the archer warriors was shooting arrows at Diao Si while running. Diao Si didn't know until he was shot in the chest. Fortunately, the Armor of Life saved him.
But he didn't immediately use flying magic to escape, because he still had to block these enemies, so he used unearthed magic and threw all the cannonballs scattered on the ground at once.
"Boom, boom, boom..." A series of explosions sounded, but because he was unprepared, Diao Si's right leg was pierced by an arrow from the warrior-level archer at the moment of the explosion.
The arrow was aimed at him before it exploded. It was very accurate. It just hit the gap between his armor and grazed his bones. He had no choice but to fly away.
"Emperor..." The generals behind him were so nervous that even those lying in ambush around him shouted. Fortunately, most of the enemies had already come in. Diao Si gave the order, and after a few explosions, the buildings began to collapse. .
"Fire!" After Diao Si ordered again, the surrounding cannons burst into flames. Sparks and gravel flew across the building, quickly engulfing the enemy troops.
But those warriors were still too powerful. Shining suits soon appeared in the ruins of the building, and they tried to use weapons to block the cannonballs.
Diao Si quickly found the crippled Cockroach. It seemed that she had just been hit by a cannon again, and now she was holding on to the rocks and giving directions with difficulty.
At this time, there were still a large number of enemies coming from behind the ruins of the building. This was because they were climbing down from the city wall very slowly. It was only then that the collapsed barrier of the city gate was removed.
With so many enemies approaching, it is not easy for Diao Si's cannons to block them, because they have just given up some of their cannons and have almost used up their shells. What should they do
However, there was no time for Diao to think too much. The samurai enemies in front of him were coming to kill them again. Once they got close, only the cannons could deal with them. Other than that, the warriors could not stop the samurai.
Of course, there is also Diao Si, whose magic can block them. Especially at this time, he had nothing to worry about. A powerful tornado immediately rolled up the broken walls and rubble.
This is Diao Si's biggest role as a god-level mage. At critical moments, his magic can often resist or delay the enemy, allowing his troops time to adjust. (To be continued)
