Chapter 732 The War of the Weak
The Imperial Air Force is still bombing.

The bombing did not stop until the dawn of the fifth day.

But whether it was Vegar, Coverdale, or every soldier in the rebel army, they knew that the real war would come next, and the five days of plowing by the air force was just an appetizer.

Soldiers emerge from the dugout.

They dragged their tired feet and stood firm on the tower and defense line again, waiting for the imperial army to launch a formal attack.

"In this state, can the rebel army really hold the city of war?"

Veigar looked at Coverdale from a distance. He was a little uncertain whether the current state of the rebel army could withstand the crazy attack of the empire.Because for the rebels, the five-day air force plowing the land was hell-level difficulty, let alone the next dinner?No wonder Veigar was quite skeptical about this.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry."

Housman also stared at Coverdale and said: "Although ten or twenty Coverdales are inferior to you in terms of war ability, even if you pointed out the general direction for him to guide public opinion, he is not as good as you." He knows how to operate the details, but it is definitely not without his ability to be able to fight against the Imperial Army to this day."

"Oh? What else does this Coverdale have to offer?"

"The lower officials don't know, but if there is no one, I am afraid that the rebel army will no longer exist."

The two stopped their conversation and turned their gazes to the first line of defense.

It can be seen from here that Coverdale did not hide behind like the commanders of other forces, and he paid great attention to hiding his own coordinates. He completely exposed himself to the enemy's sight and stood at the forefront leading the whole army. military.

Da da da--

The sound of uniform footsteps echoed.

More than 20 troops of the Imperial Army came to the front of the city of war from far to near.

The first to stand up is the magician group.

This was inspired by the United Kingdom. In recent years, the Imperial Army has begun to gather magicians and organize them into pure mage legions. After the air force plows the land, the mages will cover them with firepower.

boom boom-

One after another, the flames exploded on the city wall.

Due to the disproportionate high-level force of the two sides, the rebel army could only barely defend, causing countless casualties.

The firepower coverage lasted for a full hour. When the magician's mana was exhausted, the army began to charge towards the bewildered rebel army. This round of charge even directly shattered the city gate.

"Don't stop, don't stop!"

Coverdale took the lead under the protection of the guards, and raised his arms and shouted: "Hold on for another half hour, hold on for another half hour and we will be victorious. There are thousands of civilians in the entire city of war behind us. The imperial army can't even hope to win!" us!"

The morale bonus brought by the leader taking the lead is unimaginable.

The soldiers regarded Coverdale as a god, and as long as Coverdale was still swinging the sword, no one took a step back.

When one person dies, the second person fills that position; when a squadron dies, another squadron goes forward; when one division is completely wiped out, the second and third divisions are ready.

"The Imperial Army is dead, hold on!"

"Half an hour, another half an hour!"

"Swing the weapon again, and once again, show your last strength."

"We're about to win, we're just one step away!"

"..."

Coverdale roared again and again, and swung his long sword again and again.

Relying on their fearless combat style and self-destructive attacks, the rebel army forcefully prevented the imperial army from advancing an inch.

This fight took more than three hours.

"The army temporarily retreats!"

A flare was fired and the Imperial Army began ordering the Army to retreat.

The leading imperial officer ordered the mages, who had recovered 1/3 of their magic power, to attack again: "Mage group, use magic to blow them up!"

"All enter the trenches, pay attention to concealment!"

The rebel army's movements were not slow, and they stepped into the magical fortifications prepared in advance with an order.

After the magic bombing ended, the Imperial Army charged again.

This cycle was repeated, and when the setting sun hung on the mountainside, the imperial army finally retreated.

"The enemy has retreated!"

"The enemy has retreated!"

"Victory! We win!"

"Long live the leader, long live the leader!"

"..."

The rebels began to shout victory, celebrating the joy.

And Veigar finally understood why the rebels were able to persist until today.

With a leader who is not afraid of death in an adventurous battle, as long as Coverdale as the leader falls, absolutely no soldier will abandon Coverdale and retreat alone. This is probably the performance of the leader effect to the extreme.

As long as the head sheep leads the flock.

It is not surprising that the city of war can be defended by using more than 5 times the sacrifice of the imperial army.

This strategy has obvious advantages, but its disadvantages are also obvious, that is, as a commander, you need to bear huge risks.The empire simply doesn't have star shadow mages, otherwise a face-to-face meeting can directly end the war.

Seeing this, Veigar also heaved a sigh of relief.

This strategy is completely useless for him, because the Jialan Empire not only has him, a star-level shadow mage who cannot even be detected by a magician, but also a weapon of war-the star-level elemental mage.

Both of these naturally restrain the fighting methods of the rebel army.

"It's the stupidest way to fight."

After watching the entire battlefield, Housman said leisurely: "It's fine for the commander to take the lead, and use the blood several times that of the enemy to forcibly pile up the victory. Can such a victory be called a victory? It's extremely vulgar. "

"Your Excellency really doesn't like the fighting methods of the rebel army?"

Hearing Hausman's words, Vega said: "Although it seems very stupid, it is of course that you, who are from a military academy, would despise you who sacrificed several times the enemy's sacrifice in exchange for a victory, but ah... this is indeed true. A way of life for the weak."

"Fight with life, win with numbers, simple and vulgar..."

"This is the only weapon that the weak without talent can defeat the strong."

"Your Excellency who was born to be superior, of course it is impossible to understand the helplessness of the weak."

Housman was silent for a while, and then said: "You may be right, but the officials still don't agree with this tactic of injuring the enemy by eight hundred and self-injury by ten thousand. The risks involved are too great. too huge."

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward, isn't it?" Jia replied with a smile.

As Vega said.

Of course, high risks can be exchanged for high returns. In the next month, under the leadership of Coverdale, the rebel army resisted the onslaught of the imperial army time and time again, and blocked the imperial army from the first line of defense. .

The imperial army was already a little desperate, but there was nothing they could do, unless they were able to launch a fierce attack without fear of sacrifice and regardless of the cost like the rebel army, but this was obviously impossible, and the empire would never launch a general offensive without sacrifice.

Seeing that the situation will continue to be deadlocked like this.

But at this time, there was an accident first on the rebel side.
