After La Nina's army rested in front of the Three Spiers Fortress for about six days, General Dahni arrived here with a mighty army of 600,000. She brought La Nina the latest status of the war. Except for Tirexis, the five legendary peak powerhouses of Lydia who were responsible for logistics and stayed in Alediyar City, the other four all followed Aledia to the territory of the Rakshasa demon. Each of them Following millions of troops stationed on one side, although the advancement speed was fast or slow, they all penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Rakshasa demon.
General Dahni launched the Snag Battle, and the dark elf commanders from the other four attacking directions also launched battles aimed at defeating the Rakshasa demon army. The results were also different, and some achieved great victories. A new breakthrough was obtained, and some suffered a small defeat. They had to retreat and wait for more reinforcements to arrive. The fastest advance was made by General Dahni, who had two troops under her command. The legendary peak powerhouse is holding the battle,
Since the dark elves have an absolute advantage in the overall situation, local defeats in battles cannot affect the nature of the Rakshasa Demon Festival's defeat, especially since General Dahni's troops have already reached the entrance to the core area of the Rakshasa Demon. In front of the Three Peaks Fortress, the victory achieved by the Rakshasa Demon in other aspects was completely wiped out. At this time, in other directions of the Dark Elf's attack, the four legendary peak powerhouses under Aledia each launched their own The army will either guard the key traffic arteries, or firmly hold back the nearby Rakshasa demon army, preventing the Three Peaks Fortress from receiving new reinforcements, in order to reduce the pressure on attacking the Three Peaks Fortress.
General Dahni did not plan an attack after arriving here, because Lady Aledia would personally come to the three-peaked fortress, which is said to never fall, and lead the army to destroy everything in front of her. What General Dahni had to do was Make all preparations in advance. After all, millions of troops are concentrated here. Not to mention anything else, just drinking water in one day can almost drink up the storage capacity of a medium-sized lake. However, the Three Peaks Fortress has never been captured. It is related to its geographical location,
There are enough water sources behind the Three Peaks Fortress for the defenders to use. These water sources are firmly protected by the rugged terrain of the Three Peaks Fortress with a radius of hundreds of kilometers. The dark elves attacking from the outside have almost no way to bypass this fortress and use those water sources. Clean water can be obtained everywhere, while the other three directions of the fortress are only plains or hilly areas, which can deploy enough troops, but there is a considerable lack of drinking water sources such as lakes and rivers.
In this way, any enemy who attempts to attack the Three Peaks Fortress will face a dilemma. If he wants to quickly capture the fortress in front of him, which is garrisoned by millions of people, he will need several times or even ten times the number of troops. However, these troops will be needed every day. The supplies and water consumed were a huge amount that the offensive logistics officer could not bear. If the fortress could not be captured before these supplies were exhausted, the army without supplies would have no choice but to collapse. But if the logistics supplies were within their capabilities, Even if the offensive troops are mobilized and gathered here within the required number, they will be unable to support a high-intensity offensive due to insufficient strength, and will eventually end up defeated and retreating.
In order to solve this problem, General Dahni came up with a way. She divided the dark elves' camp into several parts and arranged them in such a way that they surrounded the three-peaked fortress on three sides. Huge deep pits would be dug behind each camp. It was connected to the interior of the camp through a drinking water channel. After the reinforcements from the rear arrived here one after another, General Dahni recruited the legendary masters of these legions in the name of the commander and asked them to take turns to release the forbidden magic. Change the climate above the pit and bring down heavy rain, so that the pit will soon be filled up and become a medium-sized lake to ensure drinking water for the dark elves army. Of course, the dark elves stationed here have also been ordered to control Use the command of water to reduce the spellcasting pressure of those dark elf archmages,
With enough drinking water, the dark elves also had the logistical basis to storm the Three Spiers Fortress. Half a month after La Nina arrived in front of the fortress, Aledia's own army also arrived and followed the army. In addition to millions of elites, there are also Ryan, Ghalib and others. Now the dark elves have gathered more than 8 million troops in three directions of this fortress, more than 80% of which are Aledia's. The direct lineage, and other legions belonging to the dark elf family's private soldiers also have combat effectiveness that is no less than that of the elite legions. This is also to maximize the use of the limited drinking water resources here and avoid unnecessary waste.
After resting for three days, Aledia issued a storm order, so her elite legions began to leave the camp and march to the front of the fortress to set up formations. This storm order was to launch attacks continuously regardless of time, so there was no need to Perhaps all eight million troops could be deployed at once. In that case, there would not be enough time for so many dark elf warriors to line up in a whole day, so the dispatched legions would attack in a rotational system.
The first wave of offensive has begun. Since the three directions are the main directions of attack, the forces invested are similar. On the frontal battlefield that Aledia personally visited, three legions totaling 360,000 troops were dispatched at once. These are about to go The dark elves on the battlefield formed a neat phalanx and slowly moved towards the Three Peaks Fortress. The thirty-six phalanxes were divided into nine rows, so the vertical rows looked quite thick. It feels like you can't see to the edge, but the horizontal rows are a bit far apart from each other. Heavy riprap trucks happened to be dispatched between these square formations.
Since there is also a trebuchet fixed on the Three Peaks Fortress, the dark elves can only project those boulders ten kilometers away. At such a long distance, the boulders thrown are quite heavy, and they simply use a projection rod. There is no way to do it anymore. It can only be done with a wheel noose and a counterweight. Therefore, the size of each heavy-duty riprap truck is much larger than the usual ones. In order to make them, Dahni The general cut down all the forests for thousands of kilometers, spending an unprecedented amount of time and energy.
To push such a huge heavy-duty rock-trebuchet, at least three hundred people would be required to pull it forward and push it. This does not include the people behind using logs to drag the boulders. In the end, there were thirty such heavy-duty rock-trebuchet trucks. , using hundreds of thousands of people, almost one-third of the offensive force. After these catapults were in place, hundreds of dark elf warriors worked together to fix the boulders weighing at least several tons. On the heavy riprap truck, fifty people then used force to twist the wheel and slowly raise the counterweight under the riprap truck.
Aledia, Ryan and others stood side by side at the back, gazing at the Three Peaks Fortress from a distance. These are three adjacent very short peaks, the tallest of which is the main peak. Its height is no less than that of the Hengduan Mountains in Ryan's hometown. , such a high distance is difficult to climb to the top even if you use flying skills, let alone conquer the fortress built on the mountain through thousands of difficulties and obstacles from the foot of the mountain.
The entire fortress is not just a layer on the surface. In fact, the interiors of the three peaks have been hollowed out, and there are winding and rugged passages connecting to the foot of the mountains and even beyond, because the attacking army of the dark elves is not just As simple as "climbing the mountain", the first thing they have to face is the layers of positions on the plain at the foot of the mountain. These are deep pits dug in advance, making it impossible for the attackers to use cavalry to quickly approach, and the fixed positions on the mountain peaks The trebuchets and the large ballista trucks on the position will also make the attackers understand how stupid it is to capture this place. Basically, if they do not dispatch super strong people, they can only use fresh troops several times that of the defenders. In exchange for living life,
Ryan looked at the dark elf warriors with a trace of pity in his eyes, because he knew very well that only one in ten thousand of these warriors could survive. These people might not even be able to completely break through the outermost plain positions, but what about the war? There may be immortals, and without the foreshadowing of countless corpses in front of them, how can there be an epic victory? In this kind of life-and-death war, the only thing Ryan can do is to protect La Nina and the others, and prevent his companions and subordinates from becoming such The part that comes to sacrifice,
"The attack begins." Following Molik's command, three meteor-shaped magic light balls soared upwards, dragging their curved tails in the sky. They did not have any killing effect, and their only purpose was to light up the other world. The dark sky ignited the flames of the offensive and defensive battle of the Three Peaks Fortress. After receiving the order from the commander-in-chief, the dark elf commander who was responsible for commanding the heavy trebuchet at the front issued the same order to the messengers around him.
As the attack order was passed from near to far, the heavy-duty riprap trucks that were ready to go made a creaking sound. The counterweights that had been lifted high in advance lost their restraints and moved toward them. They dropped rapidly to the ground, and their sagging drove the winch to rotate rapidly. The force generated moved the projectile rod with a diameter of more than one meter, and threw boulders weighing several tons into the distance.
The irregular-shaped boulders rolled in the air, and the harsh whistling sound caused by the air was filled with a sense of oppression. Soon these boulders flew to the highest point and began to fall towards the ground. In front and below them was Luo. In the plain position of the demon demon, the ground beneath the feet trembled slightly. This was caused by the huge boulder hitting the ground with huge energy after flying over a distance of nearly ten kilometers. The usually seemingly indestructible bunker was actually hit by this impact. It was directly shattered and collapsed, and the Rakshasa demon crossbow shooter hidden under the bunker lost his life before he even had a chance to hum.
