Chapter 490: The siege was frustrated and Abathur broke through.
the next day.
It was drizzling and the air was slightly humid.
Stormwind City.
Thousands of insect swarms came to the city.
Ground troops - Springtails, Hydralisks, Roaches, Banelings, Destroyers.
Air units - Mutalisks, Corruptors, Overlords, Euglens.
Among them, King Insects and Eye Insects are not combat units, but their role is unquestionable.
The King Insect provides logistical supplies for the insect swarm army.
As well as relay signals to convey the relevant will of the lord, allowing the huge insect swarm to maintain coordination during the battle.
Eyeworm, monitor enemy movements and detect invisible units.
Therefore, although these two arms have no combat capabilities, they must go out with the army.
"Lord, do you want to launch an attack?"
Kerrigan stood on one side and asked aloud.
"First find out the enemy's reality!" Su Bai thought for a moment and then ordered: "Organize a vanguard force and conduct a tentative attack!"
"As you command! Lord Lord!"
Kerrigan turned away and began to position her troops.
"The city defense of Stormwind City looks very strong!" Zhao Ganwu raised his head and looked at the tall and towering city wall in front of him.
On the city wall, there were densely packed Stormwind soldiers.
There are many swords and swords, and the sky is illuminated by cold light.
The flag is waving, majestic.
There are also a huge number of magic cannons.
Every door exudes an aura of danger.
"Yes!"
Su Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "There is a magic barrier surrounding the entire Stormwind City. If you want to break in, you must first break this magic barrier."
"In addition to powerful warriors, Stormwind City also has various magicians. It will definitely be very difficult to break through this magical barrier." Zhao Ganwu frowned slightly.
At this time.
A vanguard force composed of five thousand springtails, hydralisks, cockroaches, and banelings, under the command of Kerrigan, began to charge forward.
Three thousand meters.
Two thousand meters.
One thousand meters.
The distance between the vanguard troops and Stormwind City is only one thousand meters.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
A violent roar sounded.
The magic cannon on the city wall launches an attack with high speed and high lethality, causing a lot of damage to the charging insect swarms.
The springtails at the front were extremely fast, and some of them broke through the bombardment of magic shells and entered within 500 meters of Stormwind City.
This is where the magic barrier is located.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Without exception, all springtails that hit the magic barrier were hit hard and flew out.
The soldiers on the wall began to fire arrows.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Thousands of arrows were fired.
All the insect soldiers that broke through the magic cannonball attack died.
At this point, this vanguard force composed of five thousand springtails, hydralisks, cockroaches, and banelings was completely destroyed.
"Stormwind City's city defense is too strong!"
Zhao Ganwu's eyes widened with shock on his face.
He did not expect that five thousand insect soldiers would die so quickly.
"This is completely different from previous battles. With the city's defense, the enemy can easily kill and injure the insect soldiers, but we have to carry the artillery fire and launch the attack." Zhao Ganwu frowned and couldn't help but continue.
"It's indeed a bit tricky!"
Su Bai nodded.
This magical barrier five hundred meters away from the city wall is really quite strong.
Only by using insect soldiers to continuously attack can it be destroyed.
However, when the insect soldiers attacked the magic barrier.
You will be bombarded by the magic cannon on the city wall.
As well as long-range attacks by many Stormwind soldiers and magicians.
It is equivalent to being a living target, being attacked in vain.
"In this kind of siege and fortification battle, the alien dragons and corruptors cannot be on the front line, otherwise they will suffer heavy losses!" Su Bai said.
"I agree, the air force is of high value and cannot be consumed at will." Zhao Ganwu nodded, "Besides, flying in the sky will only become a living target and be shot like a hedgehog."
"Lord, I have an idea. I can order the saboteur to fire flaming cannonballs and destroy the magic barrier remotely!" Kerrigan spoke quickly.
"That's it!"
Su Bai agreed immediately.
The range of Hydralisks and Cockroaches is not very far.
If you attack the magic barrier from a distance, you will suffer crazy attacks from the magic cannons on the city wall, as well as many soldiers and magicians.
The Destroyer's skill "Flame Cannonball" can be fired at a distance of 1500 meters.
It is perfect for attacking magic barriers.
"When the magic energy of the magic barrier is exhausted, it will naturally dissipate. At that time, it will be the time for us to officially attack the city!" Su Bai said.
The saboteurs lined up and fired flaming cannonballs.
"Boom boom boom!"
The flaming cannonballs roared forward in the air with parabolic trajectories.
The dwarf gryphon knights, dragonhawk knights, and hippogryphs located above the walls of Stormwind City began to attack.
They gain altitude.
Counterattack against the incoming flaming shells.
In an instant, the scene in the sky became gorgeous.
The flaming cannonballs collided with the attacks of the dwarf gryphon knights, dragon eagle knights, and hippogryphs, all of them were destroyed halfway, making it impossible to attack and obtain the magic barrier.
"Damn it!"
"The Destroyer's skill attack can't even attack and gain a magic barrier!"
"This Stormwind City really looks like an iron hedgehog!"
"The defense is too strong!"
Zhao Ganwu seemed a little anxious, and his voice sped up a bit.
"Although the siege has been frustrated, it seems that the enemy will not take the initiative to attack!" Su Bai stood high above the thunder beast and narrowed his eyes slightly.
within the next three days.
The swarms attacked several times, but were repulsed.
Repeatedly failed.
It also caused the casualties of hundreds of thousands of insect soldiers.
This time, Su Bai truly saw the power of the magicians in Stormwind City.
During the charge, the insect swarm was bombarded by the magic cannons on the city wall and the magicians, and was unable to get close to the magic barrier.
Even if you get close, you will be killed quickly.
"Now, I realize that the insect swarm lacks real siege troops!"
Su Bai stood on the spot and looked around at the millions of insect swarms around him.
Springtails, Hydralisks, Roaches, Banelings, Corruptors, Mutalisks, and Destroyers are all extremely powerful and can sweep away most enemies.
However, facing the impregnable city, it seemed a little powerless.
"Cockroaches are heavily armored units, so they can't do that?" Zhao Ganwu asked.
Su Bai shook his head: "The cockroach's heavy carapace can defend against bows, arrows, knives, guns, and bullets, but it seems a little helpless when faced with powerful artillery shells."
"Besides, the attack power of cockroaches is not very strong."
"When we attacked the city, we were still a little weak after all."
Zhao Ganwu nodded, his brows already furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan", "Listening to what you said, it seems like this is really the case."
"It is unrealistic for banelings to attack the city. Their defense is relatively weak, and most of them were killed halfway before they could charge forward." Su Bai continued.
"Three days have passed, and the insect swarm has not made any substantial progress under Stormwind City. If things continue like this, accidents may happen." Zhao Ganwu couldn't help but say.
"Changes will come later, that's true..."
Su Bai raised his eyes slightly, his deep pupils shimmering faintly.
If the main force of the swarm is dragged under Stormwind City for a long time.
Then, other lords in the Land of Redemption may be ready to make some conspiracy against the insect swarm.
Especially the U.S., Japanese, Asan, and Han countries.
The lords of these four countries had to guard against it.
But before the war began, he had already put down his rhetoric.
If we just withdraw our troops like this, wouldn't we be ridiculed by the lords of various countries?
Therefore, retreat is the last option.
"Let me think again, is there any other way to defeat the enemy!"
Su Bai frowned and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Kerrigan lifted up her long, graceful and round legs and strode over.
"Lord, you don't need to worry!"
"Just now, Abathur sent a message. After learning about the current plight of the Zerg swarm, he worked overnight to strengthen the genes and successfully created a new Zerg gene sequence."
"In a few days, these genetic sequences will be ready for practical use."
"By then, the problem will be solved!"
Hearing this, Su Bai's eyes lit up, and his face showed a strong look of excitement.
He couldn't wait to ask: "The brand new Zerg gene sequence? Is it a siege unit?"
"Yes!"
Kerrigan nodded.
"Great!"
Su Bai grinned, almost smiling: "In this way, I can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai again!"
"Abathur is indeed the evolutionary master of the Zerg. He can always play a vital role at critical moments!" Zhao Ganwu said with joy on his face.
