Chapter 97
Baron Pavari and his general heroes walked down the wall together under the protection of heavy troops.
"It is no longer safe outside the city. Marquis Stanley's army will arrive at any time. We need to leave on the Baoshan Fleet's ship, but the Baoshan Fleet cannot withdraw all our soldiers. Let our mage go first, and the other troops continue to drag the enemy out here. The gargoyles continue to put pressure on the East Fort to cover us. They cannot point the gun at the river. The other soldiers guard the Central Fort. Before we all withdraw, we must not lose the Central Fort again."
The defenders at the Shidongkou began to shrink their defense line because the heroes evacuated collectively. The soldiers on their city walls no longer fought with the zombies, and retreated to the central fortress to defend themselves by taking advantage of the height difference. The stone people in the city no longer tried to leave the city, but began to block the entry of the zombies.
Daliang rode a silver Pegasus away on the edge of the battlefield. Now he does not have enough troops to protect him, so he can only move at high speed to avoid possible magic.
He discovered the abnormal movement of the defenders. The red-robed mages began to retreat from the battlefield and gathered towards the dock. At the same time, a group of heroic units were also withdrawing from the battle.
Shu Xiao, who also saw these, said to Daliang: "The heroes and mages of the defenders are preparing to retreat. What should we do? Should we strengthen the offense and block them? Those are all experiences."
Daliang was also hesitating in his heart.
The defending generals retreated obviously because under their own fierce attack, they could no longer see the hope of victory, and they saved important units by throwing a car to protect the coach. If they ordered the zombies on the city wall to enter the city through the steps inside the city wall and attacked the dock regardless of losses, they might be able to kill all these heroes.
There are always many good things on heroes. Look at the current equipment market, these heroes are simply walking treasure chests. Especially the hero who can perform advanced water magic, his magic power must have been exhausted. If he is lucky enough to kill him, he will definitely be able to produce top-quality equipment.
But in this way, the zombie army will basically die. After all, there are about 1,500 stone men in the city, and two gangs of monsters. With a small number of gargoyles, it is not easy for Daliang's army to deal with them.
Should we try to save the zombies or take the risk of fighting the boss and exploded equipment? Daliang weighed the pros and cons and said: "It's better to fight steadily. Although the opponent showed his intention to retreat, if we easily advance and disrupt the rhythm of the entire war, the opponent may not be able to turn back into attack. If we are defeated, it would be too unfair to lose."
"Okay, Master." Shu Xiao focused on dealing with the gargoyles flying in the sky. At this time, there were eleven griffins left beside her. Fortunately, there were already zombies on the fortress. The gargoyles did not dare to rush down rashly except to interfere with the gunner's sight.
The fact is just as Daliang analyzed, after arriving at the dock, Baron Pavali was not in a hurry to board the warship to pick up. He asked the withdrawn mage to set up a long-range attack line on the dock, and some stone men retreated to the front of the mage to be responsible for defense. If the zombies descended from the city wall and followed the attack, they would suffer significant losses here. If the zombie army could be severely damaged near the dock, Baron Pavali would not mind a full-scale counterattack against the enemy.
But the zombies continued to attack the inauguration, which made Baron Pavali dare not stay here, and the docks were within the range of the inauguration.
Seeing the enemy hero units beginning to enter the warships parked on the dock, Daliang knew that the war was finally won. However, the remaining defenders in the city were still struggling to resist every step of the zombie army. The soldiers on both sides fought with their lives in this hand-to-hand combat.
The zombies are advancing step by step with the advantage of quantity.
"boom!!!"
With a deafening explosion, the defenders detonated the gunpowder stored in the central turret without stopping the attack of the zombies. The entire city gate collapsed in a ball of smoke and fire. Various limbs and unknown things burst into the surroundings during the explosion. One of the gun barrels flipped in the air and spanned dozens of meters and fell head-on to the ground, half of the gun body plunged into the soil.
The central turret was destroyed and the battle began to spread into the city. As the warships of the last Baoshan fleet carried the red-robed mages away from the dock, the zombies rushing into the city completed the encirclement of the defenders.
"Oh, I'm dead."
Shu Xiao took off the portable game terminal and kept rubbing her temples. He had to communicate with Daliang with high-intensity combat, which was really exhausting. After her head became clearer, she said to Daliang: "I was killed by a gargoyle, and the griffin was all killed. This battle is so exciting. Master, you must call me when you encounter such a large-scale war plot in the future."
Daliang commanded the zombie army to make a final siege and kill the defenders. At this time, the only guards were left with stone men and monsters. The stone men protected the monsters heavily on a slope. The stone men were responsible for resisting the attack of the zombies, while the monsters were responsible for shooting out with their gunpowder launchers.
The artillery on the east fort was aimed at the monsters on the slope. The distance was widened and the grape bombs lost their power. The zombie gunners who were already a little skilled in using cannons bombed the monsters with solid bombs. The retreat of the gargoyle allowed Daliang to release the magic mages with confidence. These powerful long-range units also joined the queue for the final siege of the defenders.
Daliang in the game was dispatching troops and saying to Shu Xiao: "This battle was done well. I found that you have the talent to command air units. With 200 griffins, they not only successfully protected me, but also defeated seven squadrons of gargoyles. I will definitely call you if there are any large-scale war missions in the future."
Shu Xiao smiled happily: "Master, what should I do with my royal griffin mount? It sacrificed its life for you."
"I will compensate you for all your losses, Master."
The battle at the entrance of the stone cave has entered the final stage. The Baoshan fleet on the river began to retreat under the threat of the fort, and the Pudong fleet also reported the victory to the Admiral's Office.
The victory of the Shidongkou War was definitely a great change to the situation in the Shangjiang area, which shows that the Marquis of Stanley in Jiading City has completely stood on the side of Shangjiang City. Although Shangjiang City did not know what the poor Jiading City could do in the future war, at least the troops used by Shangjiang City to defend Jiading City can be liberated. At the same time, due to the feud between Jiading City and Baoshan City, Shangjiang City can also extract some soldiers from the border of Baoshan City. The difficulty of shortage of troops in Shangjiang City will be greatly alleviated.
