Chapter 497 Take the Initiative to Attack
The war has continued until now. The damage to the Black Armored Army of the Third Legion has exceeded 3,000, and nearly one-third of the soldiers have died under the city wall. This is a very terrifying number.
For a normal army, if the battle loss exceeds 20%, it is considered a defeat. If the death toll exceeds 30%, it is considered a disastrous defeat. As long as the commander is a normal person, he will definitely choose to retreat at this time - even if he does not retreat, he will be a deserter. The appearance is unstoppable, and morale will fall directly to the bottom.
However, the current commander Marshall Lawson is not a normal person. His consciousness and reason have been completely controlled by Marcus. There are no problems in daily life, training, and conversation. However, commanding operations requires improvisation. There is nothing he can do about the emergency now.
All he could do was obey Girard's order, use 10,000 troops to crush Ellington, and attack Fort Casparmi when Fort Casparmi stood in front of him.
attack!
attack!
Attack again!
Marshall stared blankly at the battlefield sand table, showing no reaction.
They made the sand table based on instinct, but after it was made, it became a decoration.
"Attack...break the city...Fort Kaspami...Ellington...Lord God...the glory will last forever..."
Marshall muttered to himself, not having a clear sense of autonomy. This was also a drawback of Marcus controlling his mind. The farther he was from the target he was controlling, the more brainless those he controlled became.
Elsa ran quickly on the city wall, then twisted her body, grabbed the huge war hammer, jumped high, and landed on the shoulders of the giant war beast like a meteor!
There was a crunching sound, and the shoulder blades of the giant war beast shattered!
"Ouch——"
The war beast raised its hand and patted it on the shoulder. Elsa quickly ran to the other side, and then——
"Go to hell!"
She twisted her waist, grabbed the huge war hammer with both hands and swept out. The war hammer hit the side of the war beast hard with a whistling sound!
"Bang!"
The entire head of the war beast exploded in response, and the skull, blood, and brain matter burst out. Before it could even swing its fist, its huge body collapsed, killing a group of black-armored soldiers.
"Phew! This is the last one!"
Elsa exhaled after landing. All five war beasts had been killed at this moment.
But the next moment, she was surrounded by a swarm of black-armored troops, and their gleaming swords slashed at her head and face!
"You - you underestimate me!"
Elsa grabbed the warhammer and spun it on the spot. The huge warhammer smashed all the surrounding black-armored troops away with terrifying power!
"it's time!"
At this time, Tang En stood up suddenly. All the siege equipment was destroyed, the war beast was dead, and the Third Army had no means to break through the city wall. If they continued to defend, Ellington's soldiers would not gain any combat experience.
“It’s time to take the initiative.”
"What!? Are you crazy!?"
Alleria was shocked: "Now that we occupy the fortress and are sure of victory, why should we take the initiative!? Our number is less than half of theirs!"
Tang En shook his head: "Because, what I need is elite warriors with rich combat experience."
Why has he not taken direct action in all the battles so far? Isn't it to give them a chance to gain experience? If he took action, would these people still be fooling around? If a meteorite falls, even if there are tens of thousands more enemy troops, they can all be eliminated.
But the crux of the problem is that when the Chaos army comes later, he himself is powerless and must rely on the strength of everyone.
Therefore, he must take these "alt accounts" to gain experience and let them grow up as quickly as possible.
Alleria immediately understood what Tang En meant, but Fiona next to her was not surprised. She knew Tang En's habits very well.
Try our best to cultivate the combat experience and courage of the soldiers.
"Depp, prepare to give the order, the whole army will attack!"
Tang En said calmly: "There is no need to worry about Fort Kaspami."
Fort Casparmi is not too important, but if Tang En wants to protect it, it is impossible to break it with the help of people like the Third Army.
He only needs to deploy a large shield to protect the entire city.
Depp was just startled, and then he decisively accepted the order: "Yes! Lord!"
"Attention to all - Your Lordship has an order: All troops must assemble! Give up defending the city! Open the floodgates! Go out and attack!"
"Attention to all - Your Lordship has an order: All troops must assemble! Give up defending the city! Open the floodgates! Go out and attack!"
"Attention to all - Your Lordship has an order: All troops must assemble! Give up defending the city! Open the floodgates! Go out and attack!"
With the help of Danny's wind magic, Depp's order echoed over the entire Castle Kaspami. When the soldiers on the wall who were struggling to defend heard this order, they were all stunned for a moment, and then their attitudes became polarized.
"Can we finally attack!? It's really great! I'm so suffocated!"
This was a veteran who had been fighting with Tang En. After hearing the order, he excitedly picked up the guy and went to gather.
"What!? Are you crazy!? We are now invincible relying on the fortress and city walls, why should we fight so hard!?"
This is a new recruit who has only recently joined the official combat force, and is still timid about frontal combat.
But no matter what, the order had been given, and everyone, whether they were excited or timid, gathered at the gate, sharpening their knives and staring at the black-armored army outside with a ferocious smile.
"Go help Elsa."
Depp signaled, and Kundal and the others who were stronger jumped down without hesitation, and then helped Elsa block the pursuit of the black-armored army.
"let me!"
Elsa quickly rushed to the gate, dropped the war hammer, then bent her knees to hold up the gate, muttering as she lifted it up: "It's only been a few days, and here we are again lifting this gate - hey!"
With a soft drink, the gate was suddenly lifted by her: "Go over quickly!"
Fort Casparmi is now Ellington's territory, and she doesn't want to destroy it anymore.
"Got the order!"
Locke led the assembled Ellington warriors and rushed towards the black-armored army outside the city while shouting slogans!
In the blink of an eye, the two teams of black and white collided together on the narrow mountain road. The clanging sound of swords echoed throughout the battlefield. At the same time, there were also some discordant sounds...
"Da da da--"
The fierce firepower of the assault rifle becomes more ferocious at close range. After blocking the enemy's sword, push the muzzle of the assault rifle into the enemy's helmet, and then pull the trigger. The fierce firepower will instantly destroy the contents of the helmet. His head was beaten to pulp!
"Hahaha - cool!"
The soldiers of the machine gun team held swords in one hand and guns in the other, and they seemed to be in no one's land among the enemy.
Tang En nodded slightly. Although the painting style was a bit strange, as long as the effect was good, there was no need to worry about anything else.
"Come and fight if you have the guts!"
What's even weirder about the painting style is that on the other side, Locke is holding a high-tech magic pistol with a magical core in one hand, and a refined cold weapon sword in the other hand, arrogantly provoking the opponent.
Facing the attack of the black-armored army, Locke's counterattack was even sharper. He blocked the attack with one hand and directly hit his face with fireballs with the other hand, killing more than a dozen black-armored soldiers in seconds.
What I have to say is that the black-armored army has rough skin and thick flesh and is very resistant to beatings, but its resistance to magic is really poor.
"Binding Arrow!"
The invisible wind element turned into a rope and tied up the charging black armored army, making them unable to move.
Then the rangers bent their bows and set up arrows in unison, gathering the strong wind element, and then shot out strong wind shots. The arrows infused with wind elements were much more terrifying than bullets, and could even penetrate several enemies in a row.
As soon as the two sides started fighting, the black-armored army collapsed and was almost overwhelmingly crushed by the Ellington Guards.
Tang En lightly stamped his foot, and circles of magic halo appeared instantly. The powerful magic halo gain made the soldiers completely excited, as if they were injected with adrenaline. They all screamed and killed the enemy, and some even rushed their heads with blood. , unknowingly rushed too far forward, and was surrounded in the blink of an eye.
Although the Black Armored Army is fierce and has been transformed by evil forces, all members of the Ellington Guard are now Apocalypse.
Let the tiger return to the mountain? Or is the tiger out of the cage? It seems inadequate to describe the ferocity of Ellington's warriors at this moment.
They were like a group of bloodthirsty sharks, as excited as they finally smelled the fishy smell.
Tang En is very satisfied with this. The more ferocious these warriors are, the greater their potential will be in the future.
but……
"It's not enough."
Tang En was a little dissatisfied. It would be even more exciting if he could get Cloteau's Skybreaker over now and conduct a high-altitude bombing.
Although the Black Armor Army of the Third Legion has become stronger, it seems that it has become completely brainless and does not know how to adapt. It is really stupid.
However, in the face of such a large army, the efficiency of warfare based on small weapons is too slow. Large-scale high-explosive bombs, missiles, RPGs, and tanks are the kings of the battlefield. In Purandar, of course, there are various large-scale map-level spells. .
Tang En groped his chin and stared at the slowly advancing battle lines that were stuck together on the battlefield.
If you want to further increase the power of your weapons, in addition to the magic pistols currently being studied and the special bullets prepared for assault rifles, you can also consider a shoulder-mounted RPG.
The technical content of RPG is relatively not very high. It can be made according to the current technical level of gnomes and goblins - even Ellington can make similar-looking products.
But the effect of RPG on the battlefield is very impressive, and it is a very excellent weapon.
Not only RPGs, but grenades can also be considered. Not only physical steel ball grenades, but magic crystal version of grenades are also completely feasible.
With these weapons, if faced with this kind of group army combat situation, just one confrontation can kill hundreds of them.
Tang En clapped his hands and it was decided!
Just as Castle Kaspami began to launch a counterattack, on the other side, Alex, Frank, who had disappeared for several months, finally appeared again.
