Chapter 1202: Bullying the enemy to the weak
However, the casualties were casualties. Through these spell attacks for several consecutive days, especially on the last night, after Li Ran personally directed the attacks launched by the Dark Witch and the Demon Corps of the Death Demons, the fortifications on the outer layer of this Lyon stronghold were almost destroyed. The final victory and defeat will be decided only when the two sides fight fairly in the end.
However, just when Lopez, including everyone believed that Li Ran would launch a general attack in the next one or two days, Li Ran suddenly retreated thirty miles and began to rest on the spot.
For many days, in the complex and fierce border front, this place was like a paradise. Not only did the barbarian legion in the Lyon stronghold not move, but the army on Li Ran also remained unmoved, and the two sides agreed not to invade each other.
However, what was puzzled by some surrounding forces was that the army on Li Ran suddenly launched an operation, and tens of thousands of elves archers who had just arrived from Roaring Island launched a new round of long-range attacks on this Lyon stronghold.
"What exactly is this Telris going to do?" At this time, Duke Griffiz couldn't help but say angrily: "What is he going to do! Is he going to bully this barbarian stronghold without too many long-range troops and wants to use long-range soldiers to kill them? Then we wait until he finishes the war, I'm afraid the whole war will be over."
Hearing the angry accusations of Commander Greenohm, the generals present did not dare to speak, and some of them looked down on Li Ran’s noble lords. At this time, someone said disdainfully: "Just a lord of the little Khan Locke Empire. I thought he was so powerful. It seems that this is the case now. If you attack head-on, you can’t even take down a stronghold."
Of course, among these people, some people said pertinently: "Prince Telres did this, but it was a must. The Lyon stronghold was one of the strongest forces nearby, and there were 150,000 Barence berserkers from the Marquis of Barthaya. Even if we joined forces, it would be very difficult to take it down. From a tactical point of view, his command now is the most suitable way of fighting, but because other legions suddenly approached faster, the opponent's reinforcements were already coming. If such a stronghold was allowed to be here, once they cooperated with the reinforcements, it would be very unfavorable to our entire battle situation."
Hearing this, except for the few people who were still clamoring, most of the people present were silent. As a member of the Holy Falcon League, although they couldn't stand the side of Telres who suddenly entered, they also knew the actual situation. Naturally, they also understood in their hearts that Duke Griffiz did this just to let Prince Telres fight out the most difficult opponent.
"Sir, don't worry too much." At this time, someone said to Duke Griffiz: "The tens of thousands of long-range troops they came here will not suffer too much casualties, but the arrows they carry must be limited. As long as they use up the arrows, we will not give them the arrows. Sir, please urge them at the right time. I believe there will be a decisive battle in the end. No matter what the outcome is, for us, at most, we will just send a legion to clean up the mess."
Hearing this, he was already hesitating whether he was a little too hasty Griffith, so he had to nod and said, "This is the only way to do it now. Although the task given to them this time is a bit arduous, I believe everyone will understand that I am also thinking about the overall situation. After all, this war has just begun, and I can't let you fight for these Barence Berserkers."
As a noble general, no one is willing to provoke barbarian berserkers, let alone the famous Barence berserkers. Killing a thousand enemies and killing 800 yourself is light on them. If they are not doing it, they don’t even know how their side was killed. So after hearing the words of Duke Griffiz, everyone nodded repeatedly to show their understanding.
On Li Ran's side, after several consecutive days of long-range strikes, he did not go back to ask for arrows as the fortress thought, nor did he launch a general attack at Griffiz's urging, as some people speculated, but he stopped unexpectedly again.
However, soon people learned the reason why they stopped attacking twice. After almost exhausting all the long-range troops in this Lyon stronghold, after some rest, Telres' army launched an attack again, but this time it was no longer a long-range troops, but a flying troops became the main force.
What made the barbarian generals in the Lyon stronghold depressed was that at the south gate of the Lyon stronghold, at the severe damage of the fortifications, the opponent's dragon legion seemed to have entered a deserted state, and all kinds of dragon extinguishing flames fell like rain, and hitting the air defense barrier was like a layer of colorful light curtains.
As for the few remaining bows and spearheads on one side, it is difficult to pose a threat to these large creatures. What is even more terrifying is that the other party's elves are now squads, which are consolidated and elves surround the stronghold like the god of death. Once the bows and spearheads on one side are exposed, they will become their primary targets. For the elves who are good at archery, not to mention that these are high-level elves magic archers teams, and their side has no power to resist.
As for the crossbows that have finally been moved from other places, although they can pose a great threat to large creatures like the Dragon Clan, they have been consumed too much before. Secondly, with almost no cover of walls and fortifications, the mage legions that appear on the opposite side from time to time will also cause great damage to them. Often, a firewall technique can destroy a bulky crossbow.
If we could give up the defense worker in the south directly before, although the opponent's army would have some battles when rushing in, if we have a terrain advantage and the force is not weaker than the opponent, at most some casualties will be killed or killed. As long as there are long-range corps and enough crossbows, the dragon clan army on the opposite side will not dare to be so unscrupulous.
But at this moment, as the air defense barrier became thinner under the attack from the opposite side, his side had no choice but to do anything. The most annoying thing was that just when they were about to launch a charge, they found that the other party had blatantly dug a tripod trap under their stronghold, so that they could not launch a real charge at all.
At this moment, the barbarian generals who seemed to be completely isolated were finally panicked, watching their air defense barriers exhaust their energy and their strongholds were completely exposed to the opponent's sight.
However, what is even more annoying is that even though this is already the case, they then discovered that the enemy on the opposite side was not ready to attack. After suddenly destroying the passages on other sides, they actually increased the excavation of trenches and stumbling blocks. In the end, in addition to these trenches, the other party blatantly built fortifications at the door of their strongholds.
At this moment, these barbarian generals couldn't help but be curious. If they had dug up trenches and trips, they would have to prevent them from charging from top to bottom, but in this case, wouldn't it be convenient for them to attack the city?
But at this moment, when a convoy of nearly a thousand tow beasts arrived, the boxes above were also carried down one by one, and the inside was no exception.
For the barbarian warriors in the Lyon stronghold, their miserable days began from now on. When the first round was accompanied by two thousand Baranka air cavalry and two hundred Mochilong cavalry, they were assisted and escorted by a team of archangels, they became human-shaped targets. These spears falling from the sky became nightmare for all the barbarian warriors in the Lyon stronghold in the hands of these two race warriors who mastered powerful spear throwing skills.
For the Baranka Air Cavalry and the Mochirol, without the threat of air defense barriers and long-range shooters, the biggest threat they face at this moment is that they kill the target's spear, and they are picked up by the enemy and then throw it back. However, without the support of special combat skills, and with the fact that they are in the air, these spears that are thrown out of breath, are difficult to truly hurt them. From the two days since the war started, their casualties can be seen only by a few people.
The air spear drop with amazing killing power gave these barbarian warriors a cruel reality. The strong bodies they once relied on were just to make the target more obvious in the face of these spears. If they were hit by the vital points, the result would be no difference.
At this time, they wanted to break through and fight against the enemy, but found that the situation had turned around at some point, especially when they saw the fortifications that seemed ridiculous to them, they seemed to see the heavy price they had to pay.
For Lopez, if he could not see that his side had prepared at this time, he would not need to be the marquis anymore. Whether it was the archer who arrived at the right time, or the tens of thousands of spears transported to him when needed, including the Mochi warrior who arrived in the name of escort, he finally understood why he did not feel much surprise when he talked to Li Ran on the road about this Marquis of Zare, including his Barence berserkers.
For Li Ran, being in a foreign country, it is clear that he is a gunman and familiar with his possible opponents is just one of the basic information he wants to master. Although this Lyon stronghold is not the largest stronghold nearby, the Barence Berserkers inside make it a bone that no one wants to chew. Therefore, in previous meetings, he had long regarded this place as one of the imaginary enemies for research.
As for the elves archers and steel spears, the former had made arrangements on the shallow coast's stronghold. When he learned that he was indeed going to the Lyon stronghold, he asked Zhang Debiao to arrange them over as soon as possible. As for the steel spears, Roaring Island lacked anything, but the only thing was minerals. It only took a few days to build tens of thousands of steel spears from his thousands of forging craftsmen.
