Chapter 176: Severe Damage
The battle lasted from morning to afternoon. The coalition forces dispatched nearly 300,000 soldiers, and the undead... Li Ziyu didn't even know how many undead he had sent out.
Apart from the battle sequences, which had a number, there were countless skeleton undead. At the beginning, they could still gather 100,000 and send them to the battlefield. Later, the coalition's offensive became more and more fierce. Li Ziyu didn't have time to summon the undead, so he quickly sent out reinforcements when he gathered 30,000 or 50,000.
He did not expect the Undead battle sequence to be able to stop this war. Although the elite heavy hammer skeleton warriors, skeleton longbowmen, skeleton shortbowmen and other undead combat capabilities were very strong, their numbers were small, only about 20,000 at most.
Facing 300,000 elite soldiers from the three tribes, 20,000 undead battle sequences were not enough. He didn't even dare to let the battle sequences advance. Even those as strong as the elite heavy hammer skeleton warriors would be killed by the enemy if they advanced, not to mention other types of troops.
Fortunately, in addition to the Undead Legion, he also prepared an alien Undead Legion, which also performed brilliantly in this battle. The Beast Legion blocked the opponent's cavalry in the early stage, preventing the cavalry from breaking through the Skeleton Undead Legion as planned. The Skeleton Tauren, Skeleton Hill Trolls and other alien Undead have combat effectiveness that is not to be underestimated.
The most important thing is that when the alien undead die, the patterns on their bodies will explode, affecting the surrounding coalition soldiers, causing chaos to the enemy, and also buying Li Ziyu a lot of time.
The coalition of the three tribes was no pushover, and they attacked the Undead Fortress three times, but were thwarted each time by Li Ziyu's ideas. He really used everything he could. At the most dangerous moment, Liu Xingxing and Zhang Peng drove the fortress into the battlefield and blocked the enemy, preventing them from invading the Undead Fortress. The minotaurs of the Tab tribe were not left behind, and they also carried totem poles to help resist.
The battle was extremely brutal, with rivers of blood flowing. When the sun began to set in the west, Palmida saw that the coalition forces were really unable to capture the Undead Fortress, so he had no choice but to order a retreat.
They had no choice but to retreat. If they didn't, the coalition soldiers fighting in the melee ahead would collapse. If this led to a rout, they would be finished.
It is true that the warriors of the three tribes are elite, but they are also living people. They will feel pain when they are stabbed, and they will get tired after fighting for a long time. They have been fighting for several hours and they can't bear it anymore. Their physical and mental strength have reached the limit.
These are the elite troops. Otherwise, they would have been defeated long ago due to physical exhaustion, great mental pressure, and high casualties.
Palmida looked at the Undead Fortress in the distance, his eyes red and his teeth gnashing. He knew very well that if he tried harder, he might be able to defeat the enemy. The resistance of the Undead had weakened, but there was also a high probability that the warriors would collapse before they could defeat the Undead Fortress.
Even if he was unwilling to retreat in his heart, he had to withdraw his troops. If there were only warriors from his Palmeda tribe, it would be easy to fight to the end until the enemy was defeated. Unfortunately, there were not only warriors from the Palmeda tribe here, and they were not even warriors of the same race.
Beep-beep-beep-beep-
A dull horn sounded, which was the signal to retreat.
When the soldiers in the bloody battle heard the sound, they immediately gave up fighting and retreated towards the coalition camp. They also breathed a sigh of relief as they could finally go back and rest.
Li Ziyu on the watchtower looked at the coalition soldiers retreating like a tide and let out a long breath.
Hold on!
I managed to hold on after all!
"Clean up the battlefield and count the losses!" Li Ziyu turned his head and said to the skeleton longbowman who was on guard at the side.
The information is passed on through the network of the dead.
The undead in battle formation began to return to the fortress in an orderly manner, while the surviving skeleton undead began to collect the corpses.
They are familiar with the job of cleaning up the battlefield. Boss, give priority to collecting the corpses, there's nothing wrong with that.
Li Ziyu glanced at his fortress. He knew in his heart that the loss this time would definitely be huge. Not to mention anything else, the lightly armed barrier facing the battlefield was broken into pieces, and the edge of the platform also had varying degrees of damage. It was obvious how serious the loss was.
The light shield is used to resist attacks from other mobile fortresses. It is very sturdy. When fighting with the Werewolf Fortress, the Werewolf Musketeers could not cause much damage to the light shield with their guns. But this time, three of the five shields on the front were shattered, and two were broken, leaving only half.
One of the bone sentry towers also collapsed. Li Ziyu was lucky, as his bone sentry tower was still intact.
There were many holes on the ground of the platform. In addition to those caused by catapults, some were bombarded by magic. There were also many long-range weapons, arrows, projectiles, and other things left on the ground.
The buildings on the fortress were also damaged.
But these are all easy to deal with and not a big problem. The Undead Fortress has the ability to repair itself. As long as there are skeletons, Li Ziyu doesn't have to worry about it, the fortress will repair itself.
The characteristics of the undead fortress include skeleton buildings. It can be said that buildings and the undead are inseparable, and it is almost the same to say that the entire fortress was built by the undead.
The collapsed bone watchtower and the damaged light armored baffle need to be rebuilt. Self-repair is not enough to repair something that is completely damaged.
In addition to the undead, Liu Xingxing's treasure-hunting cat people, Zhang Peng's mole people, and the Tabu minotaurs living in the fortress all suffered casualties.
The statistical results of the Undead battle sequence came out first. Nearly half of the elite heavy hammer skeleton warriors were injured, leaving more than 2,000 people. The skeleton longbowmen were not so bad, with only a few hundred injured. The unlucky ones were the skeleton shortbowmen. They mixed in the skeleton undead team and fought against the enemy. After one battle, they were almost killed or wounded.
