The Holy See's army's attack on Nancheng lasted throughout the day. By evening, both sides suffered heavy losses. Generally speaking, even if there is a difference in the quality of the soldiers, the defending side will have the advantage. After all, a city wall close to 20 meters high is an insurmountable obstacle for any army. But the soldiers of the Holy See, unless their hands and feet were cut off, or a big hole was opened in their stomach, they continued to fight in the cabin. The alarm was sent out in the morning, and the response was to stand still and wait for help.
If the enemy was not the Holy See's army, Nancheng would have collapsed long ago. This kind of forceful attack, as long as the attacking side has enough soldiers, the city will be captured sooner or later. Fortunately, the people of Qin Yin had been hostile to the Holy See for thousands of years, and the people of Kushui County who were born in Qin Yin also had the same attitude. As night fell, the offensive gradually slowed down, and the troops in the main city began to gather.
The leading vanguard was of course Nelisse's demon army. The two necromancers were arranged among the five cavalry flag regiments, leading more undead knights to form a total of 6,000 people, following behind the demon army.
Behind the cavalry team were the chariot soldiers. Chariot soldiers almost disappeared after the decline of magic chariots. Today's chariot soldiers are just a type of infantry, and their numbers are not large.
These chariot soldiers are to protect the magician. Fortunately for the Necromancer, the Elemental Mage is easily attacked on the battlefield, mainly due to the white-robed Mage's defense and reaction speed. The Great Mage will basically not make any fatal mistakes. These chariot soldiers are with the white-robed mages. Forty huge chariots protect the forty white-robed mages.
The role of the white-robed mage is not small. He can continuously apply super magic, first-level magic, treatment, and blessing to the soldiers. The recovery speed of low-level mages is also very fast. Their magic strings are short and consume low-level magic cores. Their battlefield value exceeds that of heavy cavalry and heavy infantry.
However, the number of white-robed mages accompanying the army was much smaller this time. Their existence was to detoxify and dispel divine magic.
Magic can affect divine magic, just as divine magic can disrupt magic. Forty white-robed mages are prepared for officers. If the officers are affected by divine magic, the magicians will exorcise them.
Behind the infantry fighting vehicle is the mounted infantry. Most of the infantry have horses, but the endurance and speed of these horses cannot be compared with the cavalry mounts. Most of the mounted infantry and mounts of Sanlian City were captured. In Qinyin territory, the lanes are wide and convenient, and the infantry's march mostly relies on infantry chariots.
The number of these mounted infantry was only 105,000. In fact, after the demonic legion and heavy cavalry, there were no more elite soldiers in the main city to participate in this operation. There were still 100,000 enemies in the north city and the west, and people had to be on guard.
The main force of the Tanggulas people is only more than fifty miles away from the Sanlian City. If they cross the river by force, they can gather under the city in one day.
Nailisi didn't care what the intentions of the human army behind her were. All she needed was a group of people to help her collect the loot. After killing the enemy, the enemy's armor, weapons, crossbows, and horses were not something the demon was good at transporting. The demon only wanted to kill them. Dead enemies.
No matter what kind of army was hidden in that mysterious camp, at least there was a large amount of logistical supplies there. Nailis decided to snatch these supplies back, and that was it.
On the city tower, the hands of the magic clock with the white-robed mage turned to the first hour of the morning. A faint white light lit up on the top of the city. The gate slowly opened. Nailis jumped out from the city wall and landed. On the ground*. , making a heavy sound of trampling on the earth.
The demons filed out of the spacious city gate. The soldiers of Kushui County at the top of the city looked at the demon army with mixed feelings in their hearts. At this time, only the words of a magician would not be considered a violation of military discipline. A great magician lost no time in saying to the white-robed wizard beside him: "After tens of thousands of years, the devil finally went out to conquer the believers of gods for mankind again. This time It’s a good thing…”
"Sir, you are right. When humans were strong, not only demons, but also giants fought for us. It would be great if humans could restore their original glory."
There was silence at the top of the city, and the conversation between the two mages was particularly eye-catching. The soldiers couldn't interrupt, but they could listen. Almost all the soldiers were shocked to varying degrees in their hearts.
In the stories sung by the bards, there is indeed content about demons fighting for humans, as well as more bizarre races. Most ordinary people don't know that this is real history. But after receiving confirmation from the magician today, the people of Kushui County chose to believe it. Magicians don’t lie. It turns out those legends really existed!
Of course, the gray-robed mage would not suddenly think of this. What he said was entirely the Marquis's instruction. If such words were slowly spread among the army and spread carefully, it wouldn't take long before such words would spread throughout the Kushui County and even enter the Qin Yin Empire. Once this kind of rhetoric spreads, it will be very difficult to reverse it.
The Marquis is very smart. After negotiating with Nellie, he came up with many similar methods and implemented them one by one.
The cavalry behind the demon came out of the city, and the soldiers at the top of the city suddenly felt proud. These cavalry were much more powerful than the Tangula people. If there weren't so many blood knights, the battle wouldn't be too difficult at all.
It is normal for the soldiers to think this way. When they captured the three consecutive cities, it was easier than the Tangglas Empire people did, even though they attacked from an easier direction last time.
The demon army had no horses, and these demons were running very fast under the leadership of Nailis. The armor tailor-made for demons is not heavy in quality, at least it is much lighter than the crude armors in the demon plane. During the march, there were only the sounds of the devil's footsteps and the sound of metal rubbing against the armor.
There are only twenty miles between the two cities. In theory, this is a defense line without gaps. If the city itself was not built from the huge rock circle on the earth, I am afraid that no human beings would build the city like this.
Within five miles is the attack range of the trebuchet. There is only a ten-mile wide passage between the two cities. The Tanggulas people lie across this ten-mile passage. The distance of five miles was too close for the devil, and there were almost no secrets between the two sides.
As soon as the Demon Legion appeared, the Tangula people's scouts withdrew from the attack range of the trebuchets and magic stone cannons, while the Tangula people's blood knights quickly dispatched and charged forward.
The Blood Knight does not need rest or logistics. He only needs the magicians of the Inquisition to take care of him. At least half of the 20,000 blood knights pressed forward.
The mobilization of tens of thousands of cavalrymen is originally very slow. For example, the six thousand cavalrymen in Kushui County took several hours to equip armor, line up, maintain the horses and put on armor, and test the magic equipment. The Blood Knight didn't need this at all. One hundred thousand cavalry reacted quickly and went straight to the frontal attack of the Demon Legion.
Neither side used crossbows. The Blood Knights did not. They could throw javelins at most, but the demons were not good at crossbows. The people of Bishui County also understood that ordinary crossbows had no lethality against the Blood Knights. Only an arrow penetrates the blood knight's brain to stop the blood knight from fighting, but such an accurate shot requires at least an archer equivalent to the level of a senior swordsman. No matter how low the level is, you won't be able to pull such a hard bow. Nelisse opened her huge mouth and smiled. She only issued a simple command - give me the watch one by one!
Then, Nailisi took out her magic stone cannon, supported it with her huge arms, and aimed at the rushing blood knight.
The magic stone cannon is better than the trebuchet in that it is small in size and has no reaction force. Even if Naelis is the incarnation of the devil, she can't run around holding a trebuchet.
The blood knight's speed was so fast that it only took tens of seconds from appearing in the demon's sight to rushing nearly fifty meters. The bright red armor, the rotting flesh, and the hollow eyes. For demons, this... is not very shocking.
Nelisse squatted down and activated the magic stone cannon. Nearly a hundred stones spurted out from the thick barrel, shooting straight at the Blood Knight.
In urban defense, the magic stone cannon never shoots in such a straight line. Instead, it shoots like a trebuchet, allowing the magic stone group to disperse and attack the enemy's infantry or large equipment. This time, Nailisi's usage was truly a unique tactic.
The group of magic stones roared, carrying subtle wind blades, and swept across the queue of blood knights. Wherever he passed, the blood knight who was running wildly fell down, his limbs flying around.
The magic stones that directly hit the body basically pass through the body, and if they rub against the body, they can take away a large piece of flesh and blood. If it hits the blood knight's limbs, it will break them by pressing directly.
With one cannon blast, more than two hundred blood knights were completely disabled, and together with their horses, they lost any possibility of fighting. Nailis laughed loudly. It was a great joy to use this thing on the battlefield. If the enemy was not a blood knight, the lethality of this magic stone cannon would be even greater.
Nailis took out the complete magic stone and filled it in the cannon. Her gigantic demonic incarnation provides unimaginable power. Nelisse, who had the ability to cast a magic circle, reduced the attack power of the magic stone cannon, and ten seconds later, fired another cannon.
There are no more blood knights in the front row, and the blood knights behind are still charging forward. They don't know pain or fear. The magic stone bullets penetrated the blood knights in front and directly wiped out the enemies within a few hundred meters. When the blood knights behind rushed up, they were already injured and faced another bombardment from Nailis.
This is a massacre without any suspense! Nelisse used a huge magic stone cannon to shoot from a distance. These blood knights, even with the strength of the sword master, were unable to resist. The extremely heavy magic stone cannon is as light as a child's slingshot in the hands of the devil.
After firing six cannons in a row, Nailis felt that the magic circle in the magic stone cannon was unstable. Such rapid shooting was not something that was originally thought of during design. Nailis had no choice but to put away the magic stone cannon and replace it with her thirty-meter-long spear. D! ~!
