Attempting to seize the walls again during the night raid would be much more difficult.

Just as he was pondering whether to use the advantage of night vision to make a strong attack, dozens of quickly thrown torches lit up their current position on the city walls.

Two rounds of stone projectiles mixed with a rain of arrows came crashing down directly and several waves of strong range suppression decisively extinguished his thoughts of taking Shang Yuan city under the cover of darkness.

Previously, when the Red Fox archers were around, Lie Yuan had always dismissed them for their short range and poor accuracy.

Now that they were all blown to bits, he found it quite a bit uncomfortable.

Damn it.

Retreat.

Chapter 354.

Hesitation early the next morning.

The heavy footsteps coming from a distance startle Xiaoan who is personally stationed on the city wall of Shang Yuan.

They have come.

Quickly ring the alarm bell.

Listening to the sound of the alarm bell ringing in his ears.

Lu Gi, who was sitting in the military camp, was not too surprised.

He had nearly anticipated that the opposing players would definitely come.

Today marked the seventh day, meaning that the invading players could gain the right to retreat.

The battle would determine the outcome.

If they could secure a significant victory, they would continue to attack and breach the enemy stronghold, directly assaulting their main city.

Conversely, if they could not win, they would retreat promptly.

Generally, players would act this way.

After all, once the invasion time exceeded 7 days, the advantage of initiative for the invading players would significantly weaken.

Initially, Lu Gi had no intention of letting Le Yu and Jia go if he could overpower him, as this was a special civilization, a feast for him, much more delicious than those of ordinary civilizations.

However, the actions of the opposing side in returning the bodies of Lu Jang and others over the past two days displayed a degree of morality and grace, leaving Luo Gi somewhat uncertain.

Forget it.

Let us take them down first.

At worst, I can capture him alive.

It's rare to encounter a special civilization.

Once this opportunity is missed, it one te come again without much hesitation.

with a decisive thought flashing through his mind.

Luog mounted his blazing steed and rushed toward the city wall.

By the time he reached the top, Liujs orc army was still a considerable distance away.

It wasn't te that the orc army was slow to advance, but rather that they had exposed themselves too early.

The thunderous sound of their footsteps, especially from the three giant elephant men catapults, was impossible to conceal.

However, the opposing side probably didn't te care much.

As a Yuinja s orc army was known for its straightforward approach.

With such fierce giant units like the elephant men, there was no need to be timid from the start.

Your majesty.

Upon seeing Luo Gi, Xiaoan, Lu Yong, Zhaoing, and others all bowed in respect.

Lu Gi waved his hand and called Xiao Pan over, instructing him to drag the battle into the eighth day.

Hearing this, Xiaoan's pupils immediately contracted after fighting so many battles with those extr territorial invaders.

They were certainly aware that the invading players could retreat on the seventh day.

Now, Lu Gi clearly did not want them to retreat and scathe.

It seemed his majesty wanted to engage in a serious battle with this orc army.

Understanding this, Xiaoan clased his fists.

This subordinate understands.

After giving instructions to Ziaoan, Lu Gi felt that he only needed to serve as a human buff for the upcoming city defense battle.

After all, Ziaopan, who had long defended Iron Wall City, was likely more experienced in defending than he was.

As his thoughts raced, Lu Gi quickly raised his binoculars to look into the distance.

As the distance closed, the three massive elephant men figures gradually became clearer.

Luog had imagined the appearance of the elephant men many times before, but when he actually saw these creatures, which only existed in fantasy, he couldn't he help but feel a surge of emotions.

The soldiers on the city wall were all in an uproar.

And even Ming, the city defense commander, wore a dumbfounded expression, shocked by the existence of these monsters and marveling at the wonders of the world.

Just as his majesty had said, "The world is vast and full of wonders.

" Luog s earlier precautionary measures had clearly worked after transforming the labels on these orcs from monsters to creatures.

The fear in everyone s heart hearts had significantly decreased.

Coupled with Lu Gi directly overseeing the front lines and Xiaoan s talent for maintaining morale.

The soldiers defending Shang Yuan city managed to hold their ground.

It was clear that the command for this city defense battle had long been decided to be given to Xiaoan, who had some experience in facing such foes.

While Lu G's primary purpose today was to observe, he wanted to personally assess the strength of this orc army.

After all, the moment he confirmed the opposing side as a special civilization, Lu Gi had already entertained the thought of annexing their civilization.

However, under this premise, there was one thing he couldn't te quite figure out.

Would the flaws of the orc civilization affect his own after annexation? The most direct impact would be the reduction of his civilization's productivity and development speed.

Since there hadn't t been a precedent for this, Lu Gi decided to prepare for the worst case scenario, weighing whether it was worth it to annex the orc civilization and acquire their units.

After Liuia ordered his orc army to advance to a certain distance, he paused for a moment and then clearly initiated the assault.

The three elephant men catapults were at the front of the formation.

But unlike last time, this timely directly ordered the bullheaded men, do-headed men, and werewolf warriors to follow behind the elephant men catapults, even sending out his own sons.

The posture was clearly meant for a hard push to take Shang Yuan city by storm.

Faced with this show of force, Lu Gi glanced at Xiaoan, who remained calm, quickly directing the three ballisti on the wall to adjust their positions.

employing a strategy of taking them down one by one, concentrating fire on one of the elephant men.

By the way, according to Xiaoan, there were actually seven balliste positioned on the city wall.

Initially, there were only five, and the other two were brought up after he learned of Luog's intention to drag the battle into the eighth day, like the deployment of defending troops.

having more of these large siege weapons like the ballisti in a city defense battle isntt necessarily better.

The ballisti are large and take up space on the wall.

Moreover, each time the heavy bolts are reloaded, it takes considerable time during this gap.

You need to rely on the stonethrowers and archers to suppress the advance of the enemy siege army.

If the numbers of these two types of soldiers are insufficient to create enough suppression, then during the two to three reload intervals of the ballisti, it would be enough for the enemy siege army to push right up to his eyes.

This time, Xiaoan was also taking a risk.

Lu G could roughly guess what he intended to do.

Since today was not the day to fight to the death with these monsters, it would be wise to temporarily give up on suppressing the enemy's main forces, aiming to severely weaken the elephant men while feigning weakness to preserve strength and quickly end today's siege battle.

Chapter 355.

Each side as calculations, the spectacle of seven ballist firing simultaneously was undoubtedly spectacular.

Even Lu G himself had never used seven ballisti in a single battle before.

Thinking back, if he had brought seven ballisti into an invasion battle, it would cost hundreds of thousands in military expenses, which would be painful to bear.

Fighting like this truly felt like burning money.

However, at this moment, under the grand scene of seven ballist firing together, what shocked Luo G was something else.

The elephant man being concentrated on could actually withstand it.

As a seasoned player of war strategy games, LuG instinctively realized that this giant elephant man unit would not be easy to deal with.

But he didn't he expect it to be this formidable.

Watching the elephant man wildly swinging its long trunk, deflecting the incoming heavy bolts, Lu G was decidedly astonished.

Of course, after the simultaneous volley from seven threeb crossbows, the clearly bloodied nose indicated that the opponent was not without cost.

Even so, the strength of the elephant men, this orc unit still left Luo Gi in awe.

After all, such output is not something everyone can withstand.

As far as Luo Gene knew, aside from the city walls and gates, the only thing that could withstand such concentrated fire was probably the bronze siege tower created by that extravagant Joe Dongan.

However, the siege tower was made of metal plates, while the elephant men were flesh and blood.

And there's a fundamental difference between the two.

In contrast to Lu G's amazement, Li Yuia, who was commanding the siege from his bronze war chariot, had an undoubtedly grim expression.

His super rare elephant men unit was once again subjected to concentrated fire from the opposing side, making him curse under his breath.

If it were any other player doing this, Li Yuia would have scoffed, even mocking the opponent for being foolish.

His elephant men were tough and sturdy, and a regular crossbow could at most inflict superficial wounds, which were hardly a concern.

Under this premise, attracting a large amount of firepower was ideal for him.
