Chapter nine hundred and thirty seventh, the battle of the city gate
The gate of Gaoling City opened again, causing Owen, who was behind him, to frown slightly.
No matter what the other party wants to do, he doesn't dare to ask the soldiers to rush over there anymore.
After all, he is not in the habit of receiving cannonballs head-on.
The best strategy is to avoid the artillery on the opposite side, set up a ladder, and rush straight to the wall.
The gates of the defenders were wide open, but the attackers refused to use the gates.
This situation is considered rare, but it was expected by Du Yuanzhi.
Because for the soldiers of the invading side, they already occupy most of the space on the wall. The soldiers under their command can climb the ladders and rush up to the wall in a steady stream. There is no need to come here to play the game of advancing towards the artillery fire.
At this thought, Du Yuanzhi decisively waved his hand, signaling the front row of large shield soldiers to clear the way, directly commanding the troops under the city to form a formation and rush towards the outside of the city.
His purpose is naturally not to raid the opponent's main formation.
According to the situation here, Gaoling City will probably fall before he breaks into the main formation on the opposite side.
Therefore, the only thing he has to do now is to destroy the ladder on the opposite side.
As long as there was no constant stream of Europa soldiers rushing to the top of the wall, the situation on top of the wall could be controlled. For this reason, he had to reveal the last trump card of Gaoling City.
Du Yuanzhi maintained an iron barrel formation and rushed outside the city with his troops to look around the city gate.
Different from the empty city gate area, the walls on both sides were crowded with enemy soldiers, all waiting to climb up. This scene can be regarded as a battlefield spectacle.
The sudden appearance of the city's defenders made the entire situation outside the city a bit more delicate.
The Europa soldiers were stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do.
But Du Yuanzhi won't wait for them!
With an order, the mage troops who had been hiding until now started chanting their spells at the same time.
It's not that Du Yuanzhi didn't want to use the power of the mage army before. There are actually two reasons for this.
One reason is that the human race's mage troops have only been practicing for a short period of time. After a battle, the consumed mana is estimated to have to wait for ten days and a half before they can fully recover.
In other words, don't use it lightly, otherwise, when the critical moment comes, you won't be able to use it.
Another reason came from Luo Ji's instructions.
After rising to the black iron rank, Luo Ji's plan was to focus on farming and develop in a low-key manner.
After all, the goblin soldiers were protected by the city wall. From such a long distance, they couldn't see clearly from the other side.
But the mage army is different. If you attack the opponent with a round of spells as soon as you come up and let the opponent know that you are a special civilization, how can you develop in a low-key manner after that?
Therefore, when Luo Ji assigned mage troops to each city, he also specifically warned not to use their special troops from the civilization of all realms unless absolutely necessary, unless there was no other choice.
But now, Gaoling City's situation has undoubtedly reached a point where it has no choice.
Du Yuanzhi knew in his heart that once the wave on the wall collapsed, Gaoling City would not be able to defend it.
Therefore, after the artillery, this second trump card had to be revealed.
At this moment, the mages who were on the battlefield for the first time were more excited than nervous.
After several years of dedicated training, they finally waited for the moment to show their worth.
Accompanied by a burst of incomprehensible spells, various attack spells such as gale bombs, explosive fireballs, and flying rocks were thrown out at once.
While destroying the opponent's ladder, he also continued to smash into the crowd.
With one spell, you can directly hit a piece of it.
Facing such a magical attack, not to mention the Europa army opposite, even the soldiers of our own army couldn't help but take a few more glances.
After all, on weekdays, the magicians in the magic army cannot just sit around and cast a few spells to open their eyes.
Now, after witnessing the power of the mages with their own eyes, each of the soldiers secretly exclaimed in surprise, and at the same time opened their eyes a little wider.
What they saw and heard today will be their bragging rights in the future!
The action of the mage troops undoubtedly greatly boosted the momentum of the soldiers defending the city.
Compared with the defending troops who suddenly became more energetic, Owen, who was commanding the soldiers to attack the city below, started swearing on the spot after seeing this.
"Damn! Special civilization?!"
For a moment, Owen's whole mood was as disgusting as if someone had force-fed a mouthful of Yoneda Kyo.
Not only did I pick a tough nut this time, but I also found a special civilization with supernatural powers? It can be said that I am extremely unlucky!
But we have already reached this point, can we still retreat?
It is not that he has no chance of winning. The defenders on the opposite side are weaker than him, and reinforcements have not yet arrived. This shows that he has launched the general attack at the right time.
Before the opponent's reinforcements arrive, use your superior strength to capture the city, and then switch to a defensive battle to defend the city wall.
At the same time, he will loot all the resources in the city, capture all the city residents, and then leave after the one-month invasion time limit. This is his current plan!
If you think about it carefully, the success rate is quite high.
Although special civilizations are tricky, players who have reached the Black Iron level know that each civilization has different characteristics, and special civilizations do not mean invincibility.
As long as you master the methods to deal with them, find out their details, and make appropriate tactical arrangements, ordinary civilizations can also defeat special civilizations.
Things like this actually happen all the time in the Black Iron ranks.
Thinking of this, Owen decisively raised the telescope and observed it carefully.
The soldiers who were launching those special attacks at this time were wearing armor that he had never seen before.
It feels like a combination of robes and light armor.
And in fact this is indeed the case.
Although they were mage troops, Luo Ji couldn't really let them go to the battlefield wearing cloth robes.
But the heavy armor is too heavy, and based on the mages' bodies, they can't even wear it.
So Luo Ji compromised and ordered someone to design a set of light armor in the style of a robe.
While controlling the weight of the armor, it also ensures a certain degree of defensive capability. To a certain extent, this outfit has become one of the symbols of today's civilized mage troops in all realms.
As for the weapon in his hand, it is naturally a staff.
Of course, there is definitely no magic core inlaid on it, let alone the branches of ancient elven trees.
He is not that luxurious yet.
Luo Ji ordered Zhang William to make the staff used by the mage army from a batch of spiritual branches of the appropriate age.
I can’t say it’s bad, but it’s obviously still at the ‘mass production’ level.
Outfits, weapons, and attack methods.
After Owen obtained these three pieces of information, the words ‘magician’ popped up in his mind.
And what is the magician's weakness?
The body is fragile, and you need to chant a spell before launching an attack.
