Chapter 532: Changing battle situation

Views:

The attacking undead army was miserable.

On the platform in front of the gate of Emhar, these undead didn't even touch the city gate or the city wall, so they lost more than 2,000 undead troops of all levels and had to retreat temporarily.

Patriarch Muken led his tribe and human warriors to fight a victory together.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and the undead will certainly not simply choose to give up.

Without wasting much time, they quickly launched a second attack on Emhal. But this time, the undead's offensive was much more planned than the first time before.

First of all, there are a large number of zombies and skeletons. This low-level unit was launched to consume the firepower of Emhar's defenders.

It is impossible for the dwarves and human defenders not to fight. They can't put these zombies and skeletons close to the city wall.

And when the firepower of the defenders concentrated on these low-level undead, the follow-up undead elite started to move.

A group of ghouls, ghosts, and black warriors poured out from the mountain path, and with the help of the low-level undead in front of them, they began to quickly approach the city wall.

Patriarch Muken is waiting for them!

As a reserve team, Muken kept a whole battalion of dwarven musketeers and ten dwarven cannons. And when those ghouls and black warriors appeared, he shouted: "Aim at the new rotten meat! Fire!"

Under the burst of fire, the team of ghouls and Darth Vader suffered heavy losses.

The undead have no emotions, they don’t fear, that’s right, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have reason—maybe the middle and low level undead don’t even have reason, but the high-ranking ones who lead the army and play the role of officers similar to the army of souls The undead, and some necromancers, as well as the generals of the army, must have normal reason.

Of course they realized that their offensive had failed again.

But the commander of the undead army was obviously not reconciled. Above the top of the city, Patriarch Muken heard a terrifying scream, and then he saw the undead below the city stepping up their attack as if they were crazy.

This time, these undead rushed under the city wall, and set up the ladder that had been carried all the way and was not blown up in time.

But that's about it.

Not a single undead can climb up to the top of the 30-meter-high city alive.

The army of the undead once again returned in front of the gate of Emhar.

In the next few days, the undead army continued to attack unremittingly, but there were very few situations that could really threaten Emhar's defense line.

During the fighting in the past few days, the undead lost at least 5,000 people. Although the majority of them are still some well-supplemented zombies and skeletons, this is still a bit traumatic for the undead army.

The total number of undead emerging from Broken Dragon Peak is only 40,000. However, from the attack on Emhart's outer defense area and the attack on Emhart on the platform in front of the city, not to mention that he has lost more than 10,000 people.

Even for the undead army, such a loss is unbearable.

They had to die down, and there was no way to continue their high-intensity offensive until they found a way to conquer Emhar.

This situation also made the eastern defense of the Kingdom of Schindler much easier.

Turning the line of sight to the west, the situation is much more serious.

While Emhar's line of defense settled down, the undead were still attacking Iron Horse Grip fiercely.

The Fourth Army and the Sixth Army fought very hard. Although their medical records were no less than that of the enemy, and at the same time, although there were almost half of the soldiers of the garrison in their troops, the soldiers of these garrison Soldiers, it may be difficult to fight against troops like ghouls, but it is not a big problem to deal with some ordinary zombies and skeletons.

Moreover, after knowing that the undead can directly transform the dead into undead on the battlefield, it is impossible for Peixinsi, who is already commanding the battle in the grip of the iron horse, not to be on guard against this.

The priest's purification spell was the most direct solution, and besides that, some alchemy products transported from the Kingdom of Schindler also helped a lot.

It is a kind of powder packed in a special paper bag. These things are not harmful to the human body, but the magic power contained in it can inhibit the production of soul power.

The effect of this kind of suppression is not strong, and for the resurrected undead, the effect is very inconspicuous.

However, it can still have a certain effect if it is used to temporarily suppress the soul power of the corpse and prevent the corpse from being resurrected.

These dispersing powders played a very good auxiliary role when the priests had no time to purify a large number of corpses, or the magic power of the priest group was not sufficient.

This also made it difficult for the army of the undead to be replenished directly from the battlefield. They can only make up for the loss of troops by searching for the living in the places they have already occupied, and by digging graves. However, for those newly transformed dead, it is basically difficult to have any high-level undead, even at the level of ghouls.

Therefore, although the human troops held by the Iron Horse lost a lot and fought less and less, in fact, the undead on the opposite side were not much better.

After the new force of the King's Guards arrived at the Grip of the Iron Horse, the strength of the human army increased a lot, and even surpassed the undead on the opposite side in number, not to mention the individual combat capability.

Patience even planned a counterattack. Schindler's troops attacked from the Grip of the Iron Horse, caught the undead army by surprise, wiped out many enemies, and even dispersed their formation a lot.

Seizing the opportunity, the human army launched a full-scale counterattack. The undead army attacking the iron horse's grip really couldn't resist, and was defeated repeatedly. Not only was a large number of troops wiped out, but the entire formation had to retreat.

Patience's Western Front Army even beat these undead back to the Fir Collar at one point, approaching Blackwood City.

However, Patience still didn't really launch a real attack on Blackwood City after all, after all, the risk was relatively high. She also didn't intend to secure a place to recover, because there was no danger to defend. The iron horse's grip line of defense, which has been in operation for a long time, is still the best place to resist the undead.

The combat strategy implemented by her troops is still to eliminate as many enemies as possible and reduce the number of undead as the main goal, not to regain the land.

In the end, her troops retreated back to the Grip of the Iron Horse.

However, compared to the impressive performance of the Hindlers in Florence, Pudry's recent situation is much worse.
