Chapter 213
With the help of the city wall, the professional soldiers of Wu'an City can easily kill the undead soldiers.
After all, when defending the city, unlike in the wild fighting, there is not much room for docking here. Even if the soldiers of the undead clan are very agile, they cannot escape the attacks of human soldiers on the city wall at this moment.
If you want to climb from under the city wall to the city wall, these undead soldiers can only slowly climb up from the ladder against the attacks of those humans.
If it is another race, it may be possible to draw flying cavalry and use the advantages of flight to send their soldiers to the city wall. However, the bones and frames of the undead clan do not have much load capacity, so the undead soldiers can only start attacking from the ground.
However, the undead were not unilaterally beaten, they also launched attacks on the human soldiers.
In addition to a large number of catapults, the undead's long-range troops also began to suppress the human troops on the city wall after entering their range.
After a large number of necromancers and skeleton archers entered the range, they poured their attacks directly onto the city wall.
Suddenly, countless arrows and countless gorgeous magic light balls directly hit the walls of Wu'an City.
The cloud of death of the undead wizard is much more powerful under the bonus of those dark sky. Once hit, even those professions wearing a lot of equipment will lose their health.
On the city wall, although human professions have arranged some blood-added professions such as priests, there are a large number of those undead wizards, and there are a large number of human professions shrouded in the cloud of death.
For a moment, they had no way to restore health to all professions.
At this time, those clergy with the ability to recover were particularly popular. These devouts who believed in the gods could not only recover their own blood, but also attach a sacred buff to their weapons. In this way, they could cause higher damage to the undead troops.
Wu'an City had had many dealings with the undead, and they had long expected the attack methods of those undead wizards. Therefore, when the first batch of professional soldiers were frustrated, the many clergymen immediately rushed to the front and took on the front line.
Therefore, in the subsequent attacks of the undead wizard, humans have been defending the entire city wall. Although there are some places where undead have climbed up, the overall situation is still in the hands of humans.
But Alantiel has been preparing for so long this time, so naturally it’s not just a joke.
When he saw that neither his trench nor his long-range attacks had any effect, he directly sent his zombie troops.
There are many monsters in the undead clan, but the largest number are skeletons and zombies. Those skeletons completely abandoned their flesh and blood, leaving only a frame of bones, and could only move under the power of the soul fire.
But the zombies are completely the opposite. Their bodies are extremely hard. After absorbing a large amount of death breath, the flesh and blood evolves to become harder. Even when facing those sharp arrows, these zombies are not afraid.
In addition, most of the undead clans do not feel pain, so these zombies have always been cannon fodder troops of the undead clan. However, because these zombies have a lot of flesh and blood, their speed is very slow.
Therefore, in the past, Alantiel did not use these zombies. Only when defending against the enemy will these zombies be officially incorporated into the undead army.
However, this time, in order to capture Wu'an City, Alantiel almost retracted all his troops, so these zombies followed him to the front line.
Now that attacking the city wall and climbing have not had the corresponding effect, Alantiel set his sights on the city gate.
Just like those ancient cities, in order to facilitate entry and exit, Wu'an City has set up many city gates, four city walls. On average, there are three or four city gates on one side.
So, Alantiel wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the city gates.
As long as a city gate can be destroyed, the entire Wu'an City can be instantly submerged with the troops of the undead clan.
The main tool for attacking the city gates was those siege cones, so Alantiel directly sent his undead troops to rush towards the city gates.
The human professions on the city wall naturally noticed the movements of the undead.
"Not good, City Lord, look, those undead have sent out the siege cone."
The professional soldier on the city wall quickly said to Dugu Yi.
The siege cone is not like a catapult. This thing has a very high damage to the city gate. As a city gate that controls entry and exit, it is naturally impossible to be built like those city walls. Therefore, once the siege cone is brought close to the city gate, the entire Wu'an City will be dangerous.
"There are too many siege cones, and we will never be able to clear them all for a while."
The other professional soldiers on the city wall were also anxious when they looked at the siege cone pushed by the zombies.
Although the zombies are very slow, the actions that the undead have prepared for a long time will naturally not be easily destroyed by them. Alantiel has long seen the defensive power of Wu'an City, so he knew that ordinary siege cones could not stand under the city gate.
Therefore, he created a large number of siege cones at one time, allowing the zombies to push towards the city gate.
In this way, even if the long-range firepower of the humans on the city wall destroys these siege cones, they will not feel any distress.
Moreover, Alantiel had long tested the long-range attack firepower on a wall of Wu'an City, so the siege cones he created could completely withstand human consumption.
So, for a moment, in the eyes of these human profession soldiers, a large number of zombies appeared to push the siege cone. The spectacular scene shocked the human profession soldiers on the city wall.
"What should I do, lord?"
The other professions and destiny were panicked when they thought of the consequences of the undead after breaking through the city gate.
The other professional soldiers did not know that there was a problem with the teleportation array in Wu'an City, and those who were staying by Dugu Yi's side still knew it.
"Don't worry, you go and lead some soldiers and use those solid materials to block the city gates."
Dugu thought for a while, then ordered.
To block the city gate, Dugu Yi would not dare to issue such an order at all. The gate of Wu'an City is a key road for millions of residents in the city. If it is blocked, the consequences will be very serious.
But now the undead army has surrounded the entire Wu'an City and they have no other way out. So Dugu Yi made up his mind and issued this order.
In this way, although it was a relatively troublesome thing to reopen the city gate after the war, it was completely worth mentioning compared to Wu'an City being captured by the undead.
Therefore, in order to gain enough time, Dugu Yi also made a sacrifice.
"We know, the city lord."
The other professions looked at each other for a while and then made up their minds.
The current situation is indeed quite dangerous. Compared with the consequences of blocking the city gate, the consequences of being captured by the undead army are obviously even more serious.
So they immediately started to act.
It is precisely because of the slow speed of the zombies that these soldiers finally blocked the zombies before they arrived at the city gate.
The walls of Wu'an City are twenty or thirty meters thick. Although the location of the city gate is relatively weak, after the professional soldiers used various solid materials to block the city gate, there was a thickness of more than twenty meters. Therefore, when the zombies worked hard and finally broke through the city gate, they found that the humans had already blocked the entire city gate.
"Those humans blocked the city gate?"
Alantiel could not believe his eyes.
The city gate is a key road for Wu'an City to enter and exit. Although there are also many flying cavalry in this human border city, the number is completely insignificant compared to the entire population of Wu'an City.
So, he didn't expect that Dugu Yi would dare to completely block the city gate.
"Yes, sir, those humans have no idea about the way out. The few city gates we have broken through have been blocked by the other party, and they have been blocked by the strong materials. Although we have siege cones, we cannot break those places in a short time."
Zio Neil also said with a wry smile.
The reason why the siege cone can cause a lot of damage to the city gate is entirely because there is no other solid thing behind the city gate. Therefore, under the gravity of the siege cone, the city gate cannot last long. But now, those humans have blocked the back of the city gate. In this case, it is naturally not an easy task to break it.
After all, you can't use the siege cone to break a wall without breaking it.
Although Zio Neil did not tell Alantiel openly that their siege cone had lost its effect, how could Alantiel not know about this?
"I didn't expect that these humans also had such a determination. It seems that it is not possible to capture Wu'an City in a short time."
Alantiel's tone was filled with sadness. He originally thought that with his previous plan, he could quickly capture the entire Wu'an City with lightning speed. But now it seems that the war between the two sides has fallen into a war of attrition again.
Compared with the previous few times, this time, they just had a slight chance of winning.
"Sir, do we need to withdraw our troops?"
Zio Neil was also a little worried when he heard Alantiel's words.
"No, we have spent a lot of time and energy this time, and I can't spend all the time with these humans in this Wu'an City. So, this time, even if we are fighting all our family, we will take down this Wu'an City for me."
But Alantiel changed his previous hesitation and said firmly.
The current situation in Wu'an City is very clear about the monarchs on both sides. Whether it is the high-level undead lord Alantiel, or the human city lord Dugu Yi, they all know that this is a war of attrition.
The war of attrition pays more attention to the will of both sides. As long as one side cannot persist, the other side will win.
However, the soldiers of the Undead clan were not afraid of death at all, so there was no reason for Alantiel not to believe that he would win this victory.
"As long as our attack is fierce enough, we can take down the entire Wu'an City before those human soldiers get reinforcements."
"Yes, please don't worry, I will go to the front line to supervise the war immediately. As long as we are not afraid of losses, even if we exchange injuries for injuries, we can cause a large amount of damage to those humans in a short period of time. In this way, their morale will definitely be severely hit. Moreover, once the news of the damage to the transmission array in Wu'an City spreads to the human soldiers, we will be able to capture this city."
Zio Nier also knew very well about the situation in Wu'an City. He knew that the reason why those human soldiers could hold on now was because they believed that there was a powerful human federation behind them.
However, if they knew that the human federation they were looking forward to could not help them, their morale would definitely collapse instantly.
Therefore, he had made up his mind that even if he suffered heavy losses this time, he would still consume the human army to death.
Alantiel agreed with Zio Neil's idea, so he immediately ordered all the undead army to launch a more fierce attack on Wu'an City.
...
"What's going on? Are these undead going crazy? Such a life-deserving attack?"
"Yes, I don't know if their lord is about to disappear, so anxious?"
On the city wall, most human professions really don’t understand the intention of attacking these undead.
The undead soldiers completely gave up their defense. Even if they were soldiers who returned from the underworld, they were not immortal existences. Siege like this would only increase their casualties.
However, human professions like Bai Chen and Dugu Yi who know the specific situation in Wu'an City felt a little uneasy.
The other party is obviously trying to get time when attacking like this.
Now there is a problem with the teleportation array in Wu'an City. On the one hand, humans naturally want to delay the time longer. In this way, the chance of repairing the teleportation array will be higher, and the undead have the opposite ideas from them.
What the other party hopes is to capture Wu'an City as soon as possible, so that they can capture Wu'an City before humans can repair the teleportation array.
However, most human professions are not clear about the specific situation of the teleportation array in Wu'an City. If the attacks of the undead cause heavy losses to human professions in a short period of time, then Wu'an City will be quite dangerous.
