No, it's not that they don't have enough. If you look at their current configuration, their firepower is actually sufficient if they are arranged properly. But unfortunately, although Dumbledore and his men participated in the battle, they did not take over command, and the existing command is in place.
You can't say they're bad, but they are definitely too inexperienced and lack relevant experience.
But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there were no mid- or lower-level commanders on the entire defense line from beginning to end.
As we all know, the most important thing in the military is to ensure that orders are obeyed and that they are clear and unambiguous. However, the premise of ensuring that orders are obeyed is that the orders must be conveyed to every soldier.
To convey orders to every soldier, you can't just shout it through a loudspeaker. After all, when fighting starts, the sound of gunfire and artillery can easily drown out the sounds of the front line. More importantly, issuing a general order directly can easily cause everyone to fire in the same direction again, or lead to confusion and chaos.
Therefore, the command at the middle and lower levels is particularly important. With them there, orders from above can be accurately transmitted to every soldier and executed precisely without interference.
Unfortunately, they didn't have that, so at the beginning, there weren't many monsters, and they weren't that powerful, so there wasn't much pressure. Although they were fighting their own battles, they could barely manage. But when all sorts of monsters with high attack, high health, large numbers, and diverse types came at once, they were completely thrown into chaos.
Seeing Dumbledore running around in circles, seemingly at a loss, and Dumbledore observing the situation carefully before revealing a thoughtful expression, but ultimately offering no advice, Ye Feng sighed.
"Alright, let me set an example for you guys first."
"Sigh, I'm still too soft-hearted and too kind."
“Harry, I suggest you call the other three commanders together as well. It would be better to exchange information and discuss things with each other than to try to figure it out on your own.”
As soon as Ye Feng said this, Harry and the others' eyes lit up instantly. Soon after Harry sent someone to deliver the message, Cho Chang and the others arrived. As soon as the three of them arrived, they looked at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng: ε=(?ο`*)))
Seeing the three of them, Ye Feng sighed and said, "Actually, we have enough firepower. The reason why we couldn't completely stop some of the monsters from attacking the city walls is very simple: we were too disorganized. Everyone was fighting their own battles and there was no effective command."
"Therefore, we must find a way to change this situation, otherwise, in at most half an hour, even if the students can resurrect indefinitely, the city wall will still be breached, because people can be resurrected, but the city wall and weapons cannot."
"Then...what should we do?"
Ye Feng's words made the other three people, except for Zhang Qiu, a little flustered. Zhang Qiu was not flustered because she knew that if Ye Feng said that, it meant that he must have a solution.
Indeed, after Harry asked the question, Ye Feng glanced around at the four of them and sighed, "Of course, we should integrate everyone and organize them into large teams, and then further divide the large teams into smaller teams. That way, you only need to give orders to the team leaders."
"In addition, don't just focus on your own defensive zone, but also pay attention to the enemy's defensive zone at all times. If you find any gaps in other people's defensive zones, you should promptly remind them and provide support. Also, allocate firepower properly, so as not to have too much firepower or too little firepower that could lead to gaps in the defensive line."
After Ye Feng finished speaking, Zhang Qiu and the other three all looked thoughtful. A few minutes later, the class leaders of each college were appointed as captains, and the captains found some trustworthy people to be squad leaders. As a result, the chaotic situation improved a lot in an instant.
When the team's structure changed, the power of commands instantly increased by more than one or two times. With the increased speed of command issuance and execution, the monsters were visibly suppressed, and the dragons and winged beasts in the sky rained down like hailstones.
Seeing this, Dumbledore, who had been somewhat worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still too naive.
Therefore, when dragons over twenty meters tall, centaurs of almost the same size wielding spears and clad in armor, sirens slightly taller than centaurs with black snake tails, and silver-white giant wolves over twenty meters tall with spikes on their backs and sharp spikes on their joints appeared from four directions, they were still stunned.
Dumbledore: "This...is this the...surprise you prepared for me?"
As the four leaders led their large group of followers slowly approaching Hogwarts, even Dumbledore was at a loss. This was because, let alone Harry and his friends, even if he personally took command, he would not be able to completely stop them outside the city walls.
Ye Feng smiled broadly upon hearing Dumbledore's words.
Ye Feng: ???
"you guess."
Chapter 207 The City Walls Fall
"you guess."
Dumbledore: (▼ヘ▼#)
Ye Feng's words instantly ignited Dumbledore's anger, but then he breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it was just a game and turned away, ignoring Ye Feng. He knew Ye Feng well; the more you cared and got angry, the happier he would be, and the more upset he would become.
Therefore, Dumbledore ignored Ye Feng's approach and turned to team up with Grindelwald, attempting to slay the dragon with dual sniper rifles, which disappointed Ye Feng.
However, this is only a small part; the real show is just beginning.
"Roar!"
With the roar of the giant dragon leader, a large number of dragons flew out of the darkness and surged toward the city wall. Almost at the same time as the giant dragon leader roared, the other three leaders also commanded their subordinates to launch an attack.
"Fire! Shoot down that giant dragon's head! Don't let it take off!"
Upon seeing the dragon roar and begin to stand upright, Ron's expression immediately changed, and he shouted a warning. Harry, hearing Ron's words, glanced at Hermione. Hermione remembered that Ron had an older brother who kept dragons, so he must know something about dragons. Therefore, she quickly nodded.
However, some things are not something you can simply choose to have.
Before they could even adjust their grenade launchers and aim at the enemy, the dragon leader leaped up and flapped its enormous wings, which had already spread out, and the gust of wind created by the dragon's flapping wings even blew away many monsters on the ground.
"Anti-aircraft guns! Long-range concentrated fire!"
"Thump...thump...thump...thump..."
At Harry's command, several anti-aircraft guns opened fire quickly, but despite its enormous size, the giant dragon leader was quite agile, so even with several anti-aircraft guns activated at the same time, they failed to hit it.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that they do not yet know how to use these anti-aircraft guns and do not know how to coordinate. So Ye Feng waved his hand, and instantly a bunch of rocket launchers and a small number of man-portable air-to-air missiles appeared on the ground.
"Hey~"
With a fiery exhaust plume, a man-portable missile traveling at over Mach 2 soared into the sky at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
"boom!"
Just two or three seconds later, a brilliant burst of fire erupted from the head of the giant dragon that was soaring into the clouds and diving down.
Although the dragon flies quite fast and is exceptionally agile, a man-portable missile is different from an anti-aircraft gun. Once it locks onto you, there's no way you can escape with the dragon's speed.
In reality, the dragon's flight speed is not very fast. In the movie, Harry's flying broom with the rocket crossbow flew faster than it. It was only because the dragon was exceptionally agile in the air and knew how to flank and ambush that it was able to catch Harry.
Therefore, just as Ye Feng's missile struck the giant dragon's head, momentarily blocking his path, the anti-aircraft guns finally 'bite' it.
While I wouldn't say I'd hit the bullseye every time, I could hit it three or four times out of ten.
Unfortunately, this is not reality. In addition, this is the leader of a giant dragon. As the leader, its defense is not to be underestimated. Even if you are hit in the head, you will only lose more blood at most, and it will not kill you directly.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that their shells were just ordinary shells instead of armor-piercing shells. If they had been replaced with armor-piercing shells, the leader of this giant dragon might already be dead.
Ye Feng and his group managed to hold back the giant dragon leader, preventing him from landing and causing any damage to the city wall. Zhang Qiu and his group were in a similar situation on the other three sides. However, since most of the anti-aircraft guns had been moved to this side, they could only use artillery, rocket launchers, and the like to suppress and deplete the other three leaders as much as possible.
At this rate, the four leaders should be worn down in just over ten minutes, but will things really be that simple? Obviously not.
In order to suppress the four leaders, each academy deployed a large amount of firepower. However, the firepower on the field was limited, especially since there were not many heavy weapons. Therefore, when they used all their heavy weapons to attack the leaders, the heavy firepower to suppress the ordinary monsters would be insufficient.
As a result, the Hogwarts students at the forefront, armed with rifles and sniper rifles, instantly felt immense pressure.
"The Sauerkraut Fish Squad requests artillery support! The Sauerkraut Fish Squad requests artillery support! We can't hold on much longer!"
"Where's the Spicy Crayfish Squad? Are they all dead? Quick, cover our flanks! The Eight-Eyed Giant Spider is charging!"
"Cover your ass! Our men are practically on our side! Throw grenades at me! Blow them up!"
"Boom boom boom..."
A barrage of grenade explosions rang out, and the large number of grenades did indeed repel the highly mobile troops who were about to charge forward. However, because they failed to provide timely support to the Spicy Chicken Squad next to them, their flank was successfully breached by the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider.
"Ah! Quick, they're using grenades and rocket launchers! These spiders are climbing up!"
Because there was no one to cover their flanks, the eight-eyed giant spider successfully advanced to the foot of the city wall.
If it were an ordinary monster, it wouldn't be so bad. The walls that completely surround Hogwarts are about ten meters high. Even if an ordinary monster managed to get to the walls, it would be useless and it could only try to break down the doors. But this is an eight-eyed giant spider.
As we all know, spiders can climb walls. Let alone a 90-degree vertical wall, they can move freely even up an inverted ceiling. So when these giant eight-eyed spiders rushed to the bottom of the wall, they did not stop. They simply jumped lightly onto the wall and continued to move forward at the same speed.
Fortunately, the Spicy Crayfish Squad next to them finally caught their breath. Seeing this, they quickly used their grenades to help deal with the eight-eyed giant spiders.
The eight-eyed giant spider was driven back by the barrage of grenades, but other monsters were closing in.
"what!"
A white light began to appear, and the monsters, who had been 'slaughtered' for at least an hour, finally reached the city wall. However, they were repelled after a short time because there were plenty of RPGs and grenades. With the support of teammates from other squads, the attack was successfully repelled.
However, this is just the beginning, because as long as the heavy firepower that was withdrawn to suppress the four leaders does not return, it is only a matter of time before the monsters break through the firepower network.
When the monsters first broke through the walls and the battle began, it became extremely fierce. Fortunately, even if they were killed by the monsters, they would not really die, but would be teleported back to the resurrection point. Therefore, thanks to the desperate resistance of the Hogwarts seniors, the monsters were unable to successfully break into Hogwarts Castle.
"boom!"
Just then, a deafening crash resounded, followed by a burst of white light, including Ye Feng, as the giant dragon's leader was already bleeding profusely.
In games, boss-level monsters usually have a "red blood berserk" mechanic, and coincidentally, these four monster leaders also have one. So, after the giant dragon leader went berserk, it chose to transform into a fiery meteor and crash into the city wall, and Ye Feng was unlucky enough to be right where it chose to fall.
Chapter 208 Invading Hogwarts
The violent impact nearly emptied half of Hogwarts' defensive zone and created a huge breach in the walls, opening a passage into Hogwarts and instantly weakening the zone's defenses significantly.
But that wasn't the end of it, because although the giant dragon's leader fell like a fiery meteor, it was not dead; it still had a little blood left.
As everyone knows, a boss with low health is the most terrifying. Suddenly, it spread its wings and flapped them wildly, and almost instantly, the Hogwarts students who hadn't been killed by the falling debris on the city wall and had rushed to attack it were all blown away.
After swatting away the charging people, the giant dragon leader's body glowed with a blood-red light. As it climbed up the city wall, it spewed flames, transforming into a fiery death bulldozer that swept through everything in its path.
Although the giant dragon's leader was killed after advancing only a short distance, it still caused enormous damage, leaving large gaps in the city wall where Ye Feng and his men were stationed.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Qiu and the other two's pupils shrank drastically. They then disregarded everything else and quickly redeployed some heavy firepower to suppress Ye Feng and his group in that direction, preventing the monsters from taking the opportunity to cross the defensive line.
At this moment, Ye Feng, who had been resurrected in the restaurant, murmured, "Although one of the four leaders has been killed, the city walls probably still can't be held. I'll see if Dumbledore can still sit still."
A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole. When the first breach is opened in the defense line, if there is no follow-up force to quickly fill the gap, then the complete collapse of the defense line is not far away.
The restaurant wasn't far from the city wall, but it still took them some time to get there. However, the endless stream of monsters wouldn't give them that much time. Even though they had diverted resources from other areas to defend the city, some monsters still managed to break through the gaps and enter Hogwarts.
"Hurry! Monsters are getting through the breach! Keep pushing!"
"Where are the rocket launchers? Where are the howitzers? Explode them now!"
As the defensive line was about to collapse, the various heavy weapons that had been kept as a trump card finally opened fire. The Katyusha rockets, with their scorching flames, turned the monsters in front of the breach into white light, while the huge roar of the howitzers blasted the Siren leader into white light.
Actually, what they really wanted to kill was the centaur, but the centaur was extremely fast and its armor was incredibly strong. What was most outrageous was that it could even use its weapon to block some cannonballs, so it had the most health left.
The silver wolf was slightly inferior because it had neither weapons nor armor, but its movement speed was still extremely fast. So in the end, the only one that was focused down and killed was the siren, which was not fast enough.
However, the Sirens' deaths triggered a chain reaction. The remaining two leaders went berserk upon seeing this and charged straight at the city walls without regard for anything else.
"Boom! Boom!"
Although rockets and howitzers roared again, they had advanced close enough that they reached the city wall before completely depleting the two leaders' health. With a dazzling light, two more gaps appeared in the city wall, and when Ye Feng and his group arrived, they saw the two leaders, barely alive, wreaking havoc in the gaps.
"Ow~"
A deafening, high-pitched wolf howl rang out, the terrifying sound waves almost materializing and spreading outwards in layers. Amidst this terrifying sound waves, the city walls collapsed further. Even more horrifying, wherever the sound waves reached, the Hogwarts seniors were all in agony, clutching their heads and unable to move.
"Hey~"
"boom!"
