Chapter 74: The Battle of West Valley City (Part 1)
Guo Dafu looked at the soldiers of the Holy Tree Kingdom who were cheering and celebrating, but he felt in his heart that the White Elephant King was really not easy to deal with!
What happened just now was obviously a long-planned test by the White Elephant King! If the Holy Tree King had not behaved strongly enough just now, then the White Elephant King might have taken the opportunity to take action as well.
Compared to those reckless and impulsive beasts, this cautious beast king is the greatest threat!
The Holy Tree King must have also seen the opponent's plan, so although he repelled the 'Three-Legged Golden Crow' with one move, he did not continue to pursue and fight, and did not reveal more of his methods, so that the
The White Elephant King was still wary and did not dare to take action himself.
More than two hours later, the White Elephant Empire's army attacking Xigucheng finally arrived.
Guo Dafu secretly observed with a telescope and found that the number of enemy troops was much larger than what Dark Green and the others said, with approximately more than 60,000 troops.
About 40,000 of them are cannon fodder composed of ferocious beasts of various races, and the remaining 20,000 are the soldiers and horses that truly belong to the White Elephant Empire.
Those cannon fodder were obviously cobbled together along the way, and there were many types. Among them were relatively common ferocious beasts such as bone-spurred wild dogs and terrifying caracal cats, as well as some types of ferocious beasts that Guo Dafu had seen for the first time.
Among them, there are two that concern Guo Dafu the most, one is the long-tailed leopard, and the other is the giant-toothed jackal.
The strength of these two ferocious beasts is very strong. The weakest among them is at the fifth level of the acquired world. Among them, the number of the seventh level of the acquired ones is more than a hundred, and their leaders are all second-level extraordinary ferocious beasts, emitting from
His breath is judged to be stronger than that of Guo Dafu.
The long-tailed leopard beast is mostly more than two meters long. It drags a big tail that is longer than its body. There are two sharp saber teeth in its mouth, and its black claws shine with a metallic luster.
It looks very lethal.
As for the giant-toothed jackal, its size is similar to that of a long-tailed leopard. However, it does not have the long tail of the other party, and its head is larger, making it look a bit top-heavy. The mouth that grows on the big head is also extremely large.
, when fully opened, it can crack to the base of the ear. Inside are sharp and huge teeth with a length of more than five centimeters, which is intimidating.
Behind these cannon fodder troops are the core troops of the White Elephant Empire. The strongest among them are obviously six giant elephants that have also reached the second level of strength. These giant elephants are all over ten meters tall and nearly two feet long.
Ten meters. A pair of tusks protruding from its mouth are also more than two meters long. They are like two sharp swords. Once these giant elephants charge, they can easily kill them with just one tusk.
Most of the enemies.
There are also many riders on the backs of these six giant elephants. These riders are obviously fused with part of the blood of the White Elephant King, and have some mutations on their bodies. Some have grown tusks, and some have grown trunks.
The more severely mutated the Elephant Warriors are, the taller they are. The tallest ones are over two meters tall, which is a head taller than Guo Dafu.
As the core troops of the White Elephant Empire, these giant elephants and elephant warriors are also very well-equipped, and they are all covered with heavy iron armor. Most of the elephant warriors also carry large iron-covered shields, obviously for
Withstand the rain of arrows from the archers of the Holy Tree Kingdom.
In terms of weapons, there are a variety of weapons, including broadswords, axes, and maces. The elephant warriors on the backs of giant elephants are even equipped with long-range weapons such as bows, arrows, and javelins.
As a loud horn sounded, about two thousand beast soldiers were immediately separated from the cannon fodder troops on the opposite side, and began to slowly approach Xigucheng.
This is mainly because the terrain in front of Xigu City is too narrow. There is only a passage dozens of meters wide, and there is no room for more troops.
And the strength of this first wave of cannon fodder is also the weakest, and they are obviously specially used to explore the way and die.
Although they knew this, Guo Dafu and the others could not let the enemy approach the city. After the opponent approached about a hundred meters in front of Xigucheng, rows of crossbowmen appeared on the wall of Xigucheng.
Then he fired a dense barrage of arrows at the ferocious beasts and cannon fodder downwind.
At the same time, on the mountain walls on both sides, the crossbowmen who had been hiding among the branches of the tree spirits also took action one after another, shooting arrows at the poor cannon fodder.
Facing the arrows attacking from three sides at the same time, the cannon fodder ferocious beasts were shot down in pieces like wheat in front of a harvester. The trebuchets and crossbows on the city walls didn't even have time to launch. Two thousand enemy troops
Almost all of them were killed, leaving only a pile of corpses of ferocious beasts with arrows stuck in their bodies.
The enemy commander who was observing the battle from the rear couldn't help but feel his scalp numb when he saw this. No one could get away with such a dense rain of arrows!
It's a pity that since the order from above has been issued, he can't disobey it. Now he can only hope that the cannon fodder brought along the road can help them consume more enemy arrows. Once the two sides start a close battle, he believes that his own warriors will definitely be
You can easily defeat those sissies in the Holy Tree Kingdom who can only play with bows.
With a wave of his big hand, the second attack began immediately. This time, there were also two thousand beast soldiers on the ground attacking, and there were also thousands of evil fire crows in their mouths to provide cover.
When Guo Dafu saw the evil fire crows approaching quickly with the words in his mouth, he immediately changed his attack target. After all, these evil fire crows can breathe fire!
And wood is the most afraid of fire. Once these guys ignite a fire on the tree spirits, it will be terrible.
In fact, not only Guo Dafu thought of this, but also other crossbowmen, so a dense rain of arrows immediately enveloped the evil fire crows that were approaching quickly.
However, these evil fire crows would not be stupidly shot down by arrows. They opened their mouths one by one and spit out tongues of fire several meters long.
Under the burning of the flames, the shafts and feathers of the arrows were quickly scorched and damaged, and then fell from the air one by one. Many of them even hit the tree spirits, irritating these big guys.
He quickly twisted the branches together to form an arm and put it on his body to avoid putting out the fire.
Seeing that it was difficult for arrows to effectively kill these evil fire crows, the crossbowmen could only stop shooting. Then the trebuchet on the city wall fired a round of stone bullets, hitting these big crows, and also
Those tree spirits also picked up boulders as big as millstones and threw them at the evil fire crows with all their strength.
Facing these big rocks, it is difficult to use the flames. Except for a few second-level evil fire crows who can dodge with their excellent reaction and speed, other evil fire crows will be hit by these big rocks.
If locked, there is almost no chance of survival. After all, the body structure of avian beasts is much more fragile than that of terrestrial beasts. Even the bones are hollow. Let alone a frontal hit, it is just rubbed to the side.
Their bones would be broken by the huge force carried by the stone bullets, and then they would fall from the air.
Unfortunately, the number of trebuchets and tree spirits was limited, and they simply could not stop all the evil fire crows. Soon, many evil fire crows successfully broke through the blockade and began to spit out pillars of fire at the tree spirits.
.
The flames spouted by these evil fire crows are very hot. Once they are spitted on the dryads, clusters of flames will ignite, causing the dryads to let out deep roars of pain.
The spread of the flames also greatly affected the soldiers of the Holy Tree Kingdom who were shooting arrows at the tree spirits. The arrows they shot suddenly became much sparser, allowing the beast soldiers attacking from the ground below to take the opportunity to approach the city wall little by little.
Guo Dafu was also on one of the tree spirits. He saw several evil fire crows surrounding it, spitting flames from their mouths. He immediately waved his hands and used the power of his palms to absorb the flames instantly, and finally in
A large fireball with a diameter of more than one meter condensed in front of him.
"Come and have a taste of this flame!" Guo Dafu roared, pushing forward with both palms, and bombarded the big fireball towards an evil fire flying crow with a wingspan of more than five meters.
This evil fire flying crow obviously did not expect that the other party could push back the flames they spit out. Without any precautions, it was immediately hit. The fireball wrapped around Guo Dafu's strong palm force, and suddenly
It shattered the evil fire crow's internal organs, screamed and vomited out a mouthful of blood before falling from the sky.
At the same time, the tree spirits were also fighting back desperately. Unfortunately, their movements were too slow. Often, with a slap, the evil fire crows would have already dodged away early, leaving these tree spirits to pounce.
An empty one.
After Guo Dafu discovered this, he instantly entered the transformation form and turned into a little giant with a height of more than three meters. Then he pushed hard on the tree trunk and rushed out like a cannonball. In the blink of an eye, he came to a tree with a second-level
The powerful Evil Fire Flying Crow grabbed the opponent's two bird claws.
This evil fire flying crow with a wingspan of more than ten meters, the fire pillar it spits out from its mouth is extremely strong, and can spit the fire pillar twenty or thirty meters away. It can be said to be the biggest threat to the tree spirits, so Guo Dafu
The first one targeted the opponent.
His legs were suddenly grabbed, and the Evil Fire Flying Crow suddenly felt his body sink, and was almost pulled out of the air by Guo Dafu.
And just when it was trying to flap its wings and try to stabilize its figure again, the tree spirit below, who had long been reminded by Guo Dafu's spiritual thoughts, suddenly raised two thick arms composed of many branches.
As if swatting a mosquito, he suddenly closed his palms towards the evil fire crow.
After the crackling sound, the evil fire crow was immediately beaten to pieces with all its muscles and bones. After the tree spirit retracted its palm, it fell from the sky like a broken doll.
At this time, Guo Dafu kicked his legs hard in the air, relying on his own strong internal strength to clear the air, and continued to chase the evil fire flying crow not far away with acquired ninth-level strength.
After a warrior breaks through to the innate realm, he can fly briefly in the air like Guo Dafu relying on his pure internal energy that has undergone qualitative changes. However, doing so consumes a lot of internal energy, so Guo Dafu has never done this before.
, this time it was also in order to get rid of these evil fire crows as soon as possible, so regardless of the loss of internal energy, it was the first time to engage in aerial combat.
The Evil Fire Flying Crow, who had acquired ninth-level strength, saw Guo Dafu approaching him quickly, and immediately panicked. After all, it had seen the tragic death of its companion just now, so it didn't want to follow in his footsteps!
However, just when it was trying to flap its wings to speed up and escape from Guo Dafu's pursuit, Dark Green quietly appeared on its escape route, then raised one of its forelimbs and slashed hard at it.
