It was not like the way they captured the cities of Cervo and Bolivar, where the air troops rushed forward and poured out firepower. Illidan lined up his troops six hundred meters away in front of the Western Holy Pass.

Air troops are not omnipotent. Eslaze, which develops magical civilization, has such a thing as a mage tower. A mage in the mage tower can greatly increase the range and coverage area of ​​the spells cast. Even the power of the spells also has A slight improvement.

There was a mage tower in the previous city of Kerver, but the night elves' attack was too sudden, and there was no chance for the Kerver family to activate the mage tower. And City of Bolivar is a commercial city, there is no headquarters of any major force there, and there is no mage tower at all.

But now the Western Holy Pass that the Night Elf troops are going to attack is not like before. With three hours of preparation time, a sufficient number of magicians have already been stationed in the mage tower of the Western Holy Pass. If Illidan still sends air troops to clear the land according to the previous tactics, the Hippogryph Knight and Raptor Drew Yi will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Although the combination of hippogryphs and archers, even elite-level ones generally have gold-level strength, the spells emitted by the mage tower combined with the power of the mages in the tower cannot only be resisted by gold-level power, especially Hippogryph knights are not a unit with high defense in the first place.

However, the obstruction of air power does not mean that the night elves have nothing to do with the pass in front of them. Using an army of hippogryph knights to wash the land is just a bullying tactic under a huge disparity in strength. How can the true power of the night elves be something that a small Western Holy Pass can resist.

Six hundred meters, even if the defenders of Xishengguan have the advantage of being in a commanding position, the range still cannot reach this far. As for the mage tower, it is usually built inside the city to provide an overview of the city (pass). At most, it can extend magic to the city wall when the enemy attacks the city wall. If you want to hit a place 600 meters away from the pass, you still have to Not enough.

But the distance of six hundred meters was nothing in front of the night elves. Even the archers, at the lowest elite level, have a range of more than 600 meters, let alone the blade-throwing vehicles specializing in sieges and the mountain giants with long-range attack capabilities.

This is because it is an expedition, so we did not bring a large number of ancient guardians. Otherwise, the small Xisheng Pass may be submerged by huge rocks in a few rounds.

Even without the Ancient Guardians, the siege capabilities of Illidan's night elf troops cannot be underestimated. All three hundred blade-throwing vehicles began to charge up, preparing to use the charge-up sword skill.

When using a charged blade, the attack of the blade thrower is inferior even to heroes with low levels. According to Yu Fei's estimation, the charged blade allows the blade-throwing vehicle's attack to instantly reach legendary levels. If the attack of the blade-throwing vehicle was not easily dodged, it would be equivalent to mass-producing legendary powerhouses.

However, despite the shortcoming of being easily dodged, the Blade Thrower can be regarded as a good unit for siege.

The few seconds of charging time passed quickly. "Swish, swish -" Three hundred sword blades shining with cold light brought up afterimages and flew towards the city wall of Xishenguan.

The defenders of the Holy Lion Empire on the city wall only saw hundreds of invisible black shadows suddenly flying out of the enemy camp in the distance. Immediately afterwards, the thick city wall beneath his feet made an overwhelming sound of cracking.

"Boom -" Under the shocked eyes of countless people in the pass, the outer city wall of Xisheng Pass turned into piles of rubble and collapsed just like that!

The soldiers who were originally on the city wall were unable to react to this sudden change. A small number of them screamed and fell off the city wall, and most of them were even directly buried by the debris of the outer city wall. Just this move caused the defenders of Xishengguan to lose thousands of soldiers.

There have never been hundreds of legendary level powerhouses participating in a war on the mainland, so naturally there will be no situation where the city wall is directly destroyed by hundreds of legendary level attacks. Only the night elves' blade-throwing vehicles could create such a scene.

The entire Xishengguan fell silent amid this incident. Who would have thought that the Xishenguan city wall, which the empire spent a lot of energy on and summoned a large number of mages to use fossils as mud and mud as stone to reinforce, would be so directly smashed to pieces by the enemy.

If you didn't expect it, you would naturally not be prepared. This caused the collapse of the city wall to cause heavy losses to ordinary soldiers who were not strong enough to survive in this situation. What's even more serious is that all the Holy Lion Empire soldiers behind the outer city wall have lost the barrier of the city wall and are exposed to the night elves.

Naturally, Illidan would not let go of this good opportunity to kill the enemy. The archer troops quickly stepped forward and rained arrows on the heads of the exposed soldiers. Even the hippogryph knights in the air temporarily ignored the attack of the mage tower due to the distance and shot arrows together.

Twenty thousand night elf archers and ten thousand hippogryph knights caused more than thirty thousand attacks. With the extensive use of split-shadow arrows and scattered shots, 30,000 archers created a momentum of 100,000 elite archers. Moreover, this was a hundred thousand archer attacks without any miss.

The number of soldiers behind the city wall outside Xisheng Pass is less than 100,000. Even if part of the night elves' attacks were wasted due to overlapping targets, more than half of these soldiers would be lost in an instant.

If it were an ordinary city and army, if the city walls were directly blown down and the losses would be heavy, they would probably collapse directly. However, Xishengguan is not an ordinary city, and the imperial army of the Holy Lion Empire is not an ordinary army.

As mentioned before, the attack launched by the three hundred blade-throwing vehicles using the charged swords only destroyed the outer wall of Xishengguan. As a pass, unlike ordinary cities, Xisheng Pass has three walls.

The charged blade skill of the Blade Thrower also needs to be cooled down, so ordinary attacks will not have the same shocking effect as before. In a short period of time, the remaining two thicker walls of the Western Holy Pass became an obstacle to the night elves' troops.

It is worth mentioning that the mage tower in Xisheng Pass is also located at the second city wall.

Now, the defenders on the second city wall have recovered from the previous shock. Looking at the remains of the outer city wall and the friendly troops between the two walls wailing under the attack of archers, these well-trained imperial troops also felt chills all over.

Archers' attack speed is not slow. Not long after the last wave of arrow rain came down, the second wave of arrow rain covered the remaining enemies in the collapsed outer city wall. After this round, there will be very few defenders left between the two walls of Xishengguan.

Illidan's face was expressionless, but he felt a little regretful in his heart. The archers deliberately slowed down their second round of attacks to see if the defenders on the second wall of Xisheng Pass would rescue their friendly forces.

If they open the gate of the second city wall to allow the remaining friendly forces to escape, the night elves will quickly use the Druids of the Claw as the assault force, equipped with auras of agility and wind control, and rush directly into the second gate of the Western Holy Pass. Inside the city wall.

Unexpectedly, the commander of Xishengguan was quite decisive, and he actually watched tens of thousands of his friendly troops die under the arrows of the night elves.

On the city wall, a noble-looking man in military uniform with eyes split open—he is one of the guards of Xisheng Pass. It wasn't that he didn't want to save the friendly forces under the city, nor did he know how fast the night elf troops would explode.

He just judged from the previous firepower of the night elves that even if he ordered the city gate to be opened and the friendly troops outside the city wall to be put in, he would not be able to save a few at once. Since then, he could only reluctantly give up the adventurous idea of ​​opening the city gate, and watched tens of thousands of human soldiers die under the city.

Even though his little idea was not achieved, Illidan was not discouraged. It seems that I am still not suitable for conspiracy tactics and so on, so I can just attack by force.

Illidan gave an order, and the night elf troops began to advance forward. After the first city wall collapsed, even with the range of the night elves, it was necessary to move forward to attack the second city wall of the Western Holy Pass.
