Chapter 65 The Crowd
"that
Hani, have you ever heard a saying that when a man is alone, he is as powerful as a dragon, but when people gather together, he is as weak as a bug?" At that time, among the Welsh forests, a mountainous area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the forest elves were all out and guarded by danger. When Egil looked at the messy and inconsistent elves, he couldn't help saying such words to Artoria.
"I don't know, I didn't hear it." Artoria thought about it carefully, then shook her head and answered like this. Of course, Egil didn't expect her to answer anything new. The emperor had focused most of his thinking on how to fight the forest elves. Although Emperor Norman had an army of 50,000, which was an absolute power advantage. However, the army of 16,700,000 forest elves also had a steep place to defend...
This is a pass on Mount Brecon. There are cliffs on both sides, and in the middle is a path that can only accommodate five or six people in and out. Here, the forest elves randomly built a city wall with stones, and arranged some troops on the peaks and several small flat grounds on both sides. More main forces are arranged in the forest inside the pass, ready to reinforce at any time.
"It's a good place." Egil sighed. It would be a little difficult if he attacked in a traditional way. But if he didn't use the traditional way...
"Mami, do you think our long cannon can hit that far?" Egil turned his face and asked at the general of firearms under his command.
From the beginning, Egil was looking at the mountains, and General Bamamei was also looking at the mountains. Egil looked at this mountain from a strategic perspective, but Bamamei looked at this mountain from a professional and technical perspective. How could she say she was a professional? After looking at her eyes, she stretched out her arms and gestured, she calculated it.
"If you want to attack the enemy at the mountain pass, there is no problem with using artillery. However, it will be a little difficult to attack the enemy at the hillsides on both sides. If you get too close, you may be attacked by the opponent's bow and arrow." Bamami replied.
"Well." Egil nodded, then turned around and asked Robin Hood, the captain of the Longbowman, "So, where is your eun?"
"Indeed, if you are condescending, the longbow will indeed pose a threat to the artillery force." Robin Hood replied: "After all, the other party is a forest elves, and they have the best longbower in the world."
"Well..." Egil hesitated for a while again, and then asked: "Then, use heavy crossbow soldiers to shoot the mountain as a cover... Well, I'm afraid it's not possible." Egil may have less research on longbows, but he has very research on crossbows. Although the range of pulley crossbows is very long, it is a little worse than that of mortars. Where even mortars cannot be shot, the pulley crossbows will not be shot even more.
"The other party really chose a good place." After thinking for a while, he felt that he had no serious idea except to take his life. Egil sighed like this, and then asked Robin Hood, "Can you go around?"
"I'm afraid not." Robin Hood replied: "This is the only way to go up the mountain. In addition, there are several other paths to walk on. But the conditions are even worse than here. They are all steep mountain roads that can only be passed by one person. If you are not careful, you will have an accident."
"What kind of weapon is this?!" Forest elves who had never seen what artillery were, were panicked after the first time they came into contact with such killing weapons. Many elves couldn't stand it, so they opened their bows and shot at the Norman army. Some people also yelled at the Norman army with weapons such as battle axes, swords and spears.
"Damn it! Who asked them to attack?!" Several elf rangers were angry and anxious. They had originally agreed to take the risk and hold on, but why did they take the initiative to attack now?
"The mob is the mob." Seeing that he bombarded Artoria for several rounds, the opponent's array was in chaos and he did everything, Egil rolled his eyes and said such words. At the same time, he felt that his previous caution was completely in vain. He originally thought that the opponent would have some ability to defeat Artoria twice. But now it seems that the forest elves are indeed a good player in guerrilla warfare. But the regular battle is just a scumbag.
"Hmph..." As if he noticed Egil's thoughts, Artoria snorted lightly, raised her head with some dissatisfaction, and glared at Egil: "If the other party had come here to fight me like this, I could beat them!"
"Yes, yes, Hanini is the most powerful." Egil looked at the battlefield for a moment. In fact, he did not laugh at Artoria's Yien. It was just that the queen failed twice in a row and was a little nervous. Egil didn't say much, just as if she was coaxing a child.
After that, Artoria got angry. Without saying a word, she pulled out the black sword and rushed towards the battlefield, as if she was about to kill dozens of elves and vent her breath.
"Forget it, whatever." Knowing how strong his queen is, Egil did not stop him and continued to look on the battlefield.
At this moment, the troops deployed by the elves at the foot of the mountain had rushed over, and the number was scattered, so it was not easy to see the specific number. But roughly, it should be about one thousand. The more than a thousand people charged towards the Norman army, and the first one was a round of shells. Then they were fired by the pulley crossbows of Norman heavy crossbowmen in a row, and many were beaten. Then they were thrown by Norman infantry axes, leaving only less than five hundred people.
Although these elves were tall and powerful, they had rough equipment and loose organization, and were quickly suppressed by the Norman infantry who were close to them. They were probably able to win soon. In this way, they could win the Forest Elf by one round.
"What should I do to send reinforcements! Hurry up, let the reinforcements from the rear come up to the mountain, and the troops on the mountain rush down. Otherwise, our army will fail!" In the forest elves army formation halfway up the mountain, the impatient elves elders shouted like this, urging to increase their education to the troops at the foot of the mountain."
"We are not the opponent of human beings at all when we fight head-on! What we should do now is to give up that part of the troops, readjust the military's defense, and continue to stick to it!"
"What?! Do you want to save me when you die?!"
On the mountain, there was another quarrel between the two factions... To be continued
