Eight hundred and fortieth eight chapters wild offensive
The captain made a prompt decision and left his comrades behind to escape. It was not that he did not care about his feelings, but that these captains were all war-level magicians in order to pass on the information at the last moment. But today, his efforts were doomed to be in vain.
.
After running for more than sixty meters, the captain became more confident and thought he could get rid of the opponent. But the next moment, a blood line suddenly appeared on his neck, then broke, and his head spun and flew into the sky.
The two dark rangers didn't even look at the bloody corpses, and rushed across the muddy grass wet with blood. They were just the most ordinary rangers among the drow, but they still completely destroyed the elite scout team in the north.
On a hillside less than one-third of the way into the pine road section, it was the place where the general attack was launched. The ogres dragged catapults and rushed up with sweat on their backs. Not a single one was left behind.
"Nearly four-fifths of the troops have passed!"
The observation post that had been arranged here long ago appeared next to Downton, knelt down on one knee and reported.
"Notify the entire army to attack!"
After hearing that the number of people had reached the intended target, Downton issued the order to attack.
The captains, who had been prepared long ago, swung their hammers and smashed the mechanism of the catapult!
Collapse! Collapse! Collapse!
Dozens of burning log bullets were thrown out with the sound of the animal's sinews tightening.
With such a huge momentum, even if a dark ranger intercepted and killed the northern scouts and covered the battlefield, the enemy was aware of it and immediately summoned cavalry to prepare to kill them.
"Could be a massive attack!"
"That's just right, we can solve the problem once and for all."
Thousands of leaders gathered together, looking at the direction of the hillside and discussing in low voices.
The cavalry were burying pots for cooking. When they heard the order, they reluctantly got up and mounted their horses. Several battles in the past few days really made them not want to face the natives of the Western Region.
Taking advantage of the setting sun that had not yet set in the sky, the infantrymen took advantage of the time to eat. Because the commander-in-chief was anxious to return to the main city to reinforce the city, he had to travel all night. If he did not take advantage of the dinner time to rest more, he would be very tired at night.
The road in the pine forest was crowded with soldiers. They sat in small groups on their marching blankets. In the summer evening, the breeze from the forest blew, which was very cool. The soldiers unbuttoned their clothes and enjoyed the scene.
A rare moment of peace and quiet.
Suddenly, dozens of large fireballs appeared in the field of vision, and after arcing, they hit the road.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The log bombs were smashed into pieces, and the burning wood pieces flew and hit the surrounding soldiers, and some unlucky ones were ignited.
"Enemy attack!"
The soldiers got up, but there was not much panic, because they had become accustomed to this kind of sneak attack over the past few days, and they would retreat as long as the cavalry was dispatched anyway.
"Why don't these guys pick a regiment without cavalry protection to attack?"
"They are all indigenous people. How high do you think their IQs can be?"
"Look! The cavalry is charging. It's so fierce!"
The infantrymen dodged the log bombs thrown from the opposite side. They saw nearly three thousand cavalrymen sweeping up the hillside like a steel tsunami. They involuntarily beat their shields and armors with their weapons. They cheered for them, but the next moment, they
Then he subconsciously closed his mouth.
Not only did the same retreat as before not come, but burning log bombs were still being fired crazily, and what was even more surprising was that countless cavalry sprang out from the forest on both sides of the hillside, like tigers descending the mountain with murderous intent.
Soaring charge.
"Dark Elf?"
Looking at the black panther mounts under the crotches of those cavalrymen, a lot of gasping sounds were heard, and then there was a burst of silence.
When the night wind lifted the hoods of the drow, revealing the pointed ears unique to the elves, the Northern Army went crazy. Even the infantry dropped the half-eaten bread in their hands and ran towards the hillside.
The dark elves have magical paintings on their faces, which add to their beauty under the setting sun.
"As long as you catch one, you can live the wealthy life of a small rich man for the rest of your life!"
The soldiers were full of fanaticism and charged towards the hillside in droves. Even if they couldn't own her and sold them as slaves, it was a worthwhile trip to have fun on the spot. When I went to the tavern in the future, I could brag that I had slept with women.
Elf man.
"Damn it!"
Several officers were so angry that they were shaking with anger when they saw all their subordinates running away. If the enemy launched a general attack, such a chaotic scene would definitely collapse at the first touch.
The cavalry were beating their mounts, wishing they could run faster. According to custom, they should have used arrow rain to suppress them. But looking at those female elves, the cavalry's movements were half a beat slower. There was no way, they were all elves, one
If a top-quality female slave who can be sold for millions of gold coins is accidentally shot to death, there will be no place to cry.
Of course, there are also some ruthless cavalrymen, so what if they are crippled? As long as they catch them, they are theirs. But before they could raise their bows and shoot arrows, the rain of arrows shot by the rangers swept over them like locusts.
Puff puff!
With the sound of arrows hitting flesh, hundreds of cavalry fell from their horses.
"Fight back, you bunch of idiots!"
"Shoot them to death!"
Several Qianren who were still rational shouted angrily. The cavalry finally recovered from their beauty and greed and began to fight back. However, the dim light of the evening and the complex shooting environment made their hit rate high.
On the contrary, the drow almost missed their arrows. Every time the bowstring trembled, a large number of cavalry fell from the opposite side.
Drow, who come from the underground world and are naturally accustomed to fighting in dark environments, can display more powerful combat power in the evening than in the daytime.
After five waves of arrows, most of the three thousand cavalrymen in the north had fallen. Both sides had rushed within thirty yards. Watching these cavalrymen drawing their swords, they all gritted their teeth and prepared for a head-on fight with red eyes. The rangers trembled slightly.
The cheetah, which was controlled by the reins, jumped gracefully, changed direction, and avoided them.
Although the rangers are not afraid of direct confrontation, their master has orders, and their main task is to drive the infantry into the pine forest.
The cavalry were not stupid either. Looking at the ogre shield array in front of the catapult position, they bypassed it without any hesitation and pursued the drow.
"Turn left ten degrees and shoot!"
Under the command of the rangefinders, the ogres adjusted their catapults to continuously attack the infantry on the road, forcing them to move.
"I'm Di Polo, what's going on? Why don't you retreat?"
"What do the cavalry do for food?"
"Run, this attack is too intensive!"
Facing a barrage of burning log bombs, the infantrymen on the road quickly moved forward without noticing. The log bombs were chasing behind them, forcing them in this direction consciously.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Under the volley of the rangers, the infantrymen who had rushed halfway were instantly thrown into pieces. Seeing the blood and hearing the screams, their greed for blood finally calmed down and they turned around and ran away.
Infantry faced the fate of being crushed by cavalry.
When the drow put away their short bows and drew their scimitars, they happened to rush into the infantry group. They didn't even have to work hard. They just flattened their scimitars, and with the inertia of the cheetah's sprint, they were able to cut through their armor and kill them.
their heads.
Handfuls of blood mist bloomed, the waltz of death resounded, and the wails spread!
"Damn it. Hold on!"
Ten thousand leaders came with their personal guards and saw this chaotic scene. They were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
The road in the pine forest was wide enough for three eight-horse carriages to run parallel to each other, but it still seemed narrow under the covering blows of log bombs.
Some soldiers ran towards the forest on both sides, but more of them were like a school of tuna being chased by sharks, running towards the front. There was no way, the army was ahead, so in this kind of crisis, the soldiers would subconsciously want to join the army.
, because it’s safer that way.
"Shield soldiers, spear soldiers. Arrange in the rear, build defenses, and supervise the preparations of the battle team. Anyone who attacks the front line will be killed without mercy."
The commander of the Sixth Corps had received the report from the scouts, looked at the commotion in the rear, and gave the order decisively. As a general, he knew that once this collapse expanded, it would be unstoppable, especially at night, which would make people unaware of the situation unstoppable.
soldiers, causing panic to spread.
This is exactly what Downton wanted. This time, he did not choose guerrilla tactics, but used fixed-point breakthroughs to defeat the enemy from one place, just to cause this kind of avalanche-like chain rout.
"Hurry up and inform the commander-in-chief to respond and call for a mage group to come over!"
The commander of ten thousand ordered the messengers, while he himself rode a war horse and stood under the military flag to stabilize the morale of the army.
"Get away, go around from both sides, don't attack the shield array!"
The members of the supervising team rode horses and ran in front of the formation. When they saw those who were disobedient and ran over in panic, they directly slashed them to death on the spot.
Seeing the dead people, the soldiers were frightened and began to move to both sides.
The shield soldiers and spearmen held their breath and stared ahead. They had already seen the shadows of some cavalry.
The thousand-man archer group in the back row all held redwood longbows, pulled out five arrows, and inserted them at their feet for easy access.
The centurion standing at the front fired an arrow hanging from a paper bag, and then loudly announced, "Wind direction six, wind speed thirty!"
"Don't worry, the catapult doesn't have such a long range, and those burning fireballs can't hit it!"
The experienced centurion roared to calm the soldiers' emotions. Indeed, although the burning log bombs hit the fleeing soldiers, ripping open the flesh and causing sparks to fly everywhere, the noise caused was not small, but it was still far away from here.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Five magic flares dragged their blue tail flames straight up into the sky, and then exploded into gorgeous fireworks, lighting up the night sky.
Experienced veterans all know that this is the other side sending a signal, dispatching troops, and starting to implement the next strategy.
"what sound?"
"I don't know, it seems like it's coming from above my head?"
"You're kidding, what could be on your head?"
The soldiers heard a buzzing sound that was rapidly growing from small to loud, so they raised their heads to look for the source of the sound, and then saw the steam airships through the setting sun.
"Floating battleships? Damn it, why do they appear here? Aren't they sieging the main city?"
Not only the ten thousand commanders, but all the generals' expressions darkened the moment they saw the airship. Compared to ordinary soldiers, they knew more information. Naturally, they knew that Downton relied on them to blow up the northern city wall.
, killing a number of high-ranking officials including the Duke of Busque. (To be continued...)
