(Second update)
The dark elves fighting fiercely in front did not know that there was a high-ranking domain expert who moved his gaze away from them. Now the only thing these dark elves think about is how to push the passage forward as quickly as possible. Only in this way can they move from the current situation. Escape from the damn situation. As the enemy of the dark elves, the Rakshasa demons certainly don’t want the dark elves to achieve their wishes. However, their crossbow arrows seem to be increasingly powerless to achieve this goal as the dark elves advance without regard for life and death.
"Woo." The private soldiers of the dark elf family, who were desperately carrying the sandbags forward, suddenly heard this weird sound, but no one paid attention to it, let alone pushed away the shield blocking their heads to observe why. This sound would come from the sky, but these dark elves did not need to spend too much time guessing. After more than ten seconds, a large stone weighing hundreds of kilograms fell from the sky and fell into the crowd of dark elves.
The shield raised high can block the crossbow shots at close range, but it cannot block the stones thrown by the Rakshasa demon's trebuchet. The dozens of dark elf warriors who bore the brunt were lost almost instantly. life, and then the boulder hit the ground and rolled forward for another distance, which caused a lot of casualties.
"It's a stone catapult, a stone thrown by the Rakshasa demon..." The dark elf warrior who luckily escaped from this attack pointed at the sky and shouted in panic, because in his field of vision, there was another stone. Several large rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms flew over with a roar. Before the dark elf warrior could finish his scream, he was knocked to the ground by another large rock falling from the sky. Only half of his lower limbs were exposed and kept outside. twitch,
A head-shaking projection completely disrupted the tacit advance formation formed by the dark elves. No matter how strong the shield wall is, it is impossible to compete with the large stones thrown by the trebuchet. As long as this tight defense is destroyed, , those Rakshasa demon crossbow shooters guerrilla on both sides of the passage will seize the opportunity to shoot more arrows through the exposed holes, thus taking away more lives of dark elves.
As the Rakshasa demon crossbow shooters fired, more and more dark elf warriors were killed by arrows, and the shield wall they formed also showed signs of collapse. Although the dark elf leader who led the team tried his best to restore the previous state, but his martial arts and the full set of mithril armor still couldn't protect him from the impact of the boulder.
After the commander died on the battlefield, the dark elf warriors in front of the entire passage completely lost their command. Their casualties increased rapidly, far exceeding the new blood added later, so that the originally orderly scene completely fell into disarray. It was chaos. Although the dark elf warriors knew very well that they could not mess up or leave their posts without permission at this time, but no matter how strong the warrior raised his shield, he could only block the arrows in a certain direction. Under the rain of arrows from the sky, , these dark elves simply cannot stand on the same spot unharmed by their own strength. They can only retreat back and let the arrows flying from nowhere take away the lives of their companions.
The biggest difference between the elite and the rout is that the former have extremely strong discipline, but now the discipline of these dark elves and their team organization have collapsed under the attack of trebuchets and crossbow shooters, and there is no way to organize an effective defense. , even if a few want to stand up and take the lead in re-forming the shield wall, as long as these dark elves show the slightest sign of gathering, they will be dispersed by a new wave of big rocks.
A new whistling sound came from the air above his head, but this time it was sharper and more urgent, which made a bewildered dark elf warrior standing on the ground feel despair. He raised his head and wanted to take another look at the world. But he was surprised to find that the boulder that caused the sound drew a clear trajectory in mid-air, flying down into the distance, and its target was the nearest Rakshasa monster's trebuchet.
Tons of boulders came down heavily. Although it didn't completely hit its target, even if such a heavy boulder just touched some corners, it was enough to smash the Rakshasa demon's trebuchet into pieces and send them flying high. , as for the eight Rakshasa demon warriors who were pushing the winch, they were caught off guard and were directly lifted into the air by the huge shock force. They flew to no one knows where.
"The counterattack is our catapult." Amidst the cheers of the dark elf warriors on the ground, the boulders launched from the dark elf position have destroyed the catapults of multiple Rakshasa demons. After the demon's disguised rock-trebuchet was exposed, the dark elves used a heavy-duty rock-trebuchet with a longer range and greater power to counterattack.
The heavy trebuchet of the dark elves has a range of more than ten kilometers, while the Rakshasa demon's heavy trebuchet has a range of only three or four kilometers, so as long as the latter fires once and reveals its location, it will soon be They will encounter counterattacks from the dark elves. Although these trebuchets from the Rakshasa demon side are lighter in weight, they cannot be moved and changed by more than a dozen people in a few minutes. The people who built these trebuchets It was just some strong wood. How could it withstand the impact of a boulder weighing several tons slamming down from mid-air? Basically, it was completely destroyed in the first place, and the possibility of continuing to launch was lost.
When the dark elves' phalanx in the second and third rows entered the battle, the new legions mobilized from the direction of the dark elves camp took the place of the vacant positions exposed in front, and there were more dark elves in the camp. The legion was ready to go and could enter the battlefield at any time. After receiving enough manpower, the destroyed passage in front was quickly returned to the control of the dark elves.
The battle continued in an orderly manner. More shields were lifted up by the Dark Elf warriors, and more sandbags were carried by the family's private soldiers towards the front of the passage. After the incident just now, the Dark Elf's advancement speed Not only did it not slow down, but it increased significantly. In just a few dozen minutes, it exceeded the previous advancement speed due to united efforts, and the pressure of the battle was once again transferred to the Rakshasa demon general responsible for guarding.
The absence of stones and arrows does not mean that the Rakshasa demon has lost the means to attack the dark elves. On the contrary, it will make the battle more intense, because the Rakshasa demon general guarding this plain position has issued a close combat order. After giving the order, the Rakshasa demon hiding under the bunker rushed out with weapons raised and began to charge towards the dark elves guarding the advancing passage.
The counterattack of the Rakshasa demon comes quite suddenly. The most important thing is that the Rakshasa demon warriors often use the tunnels dug in advance to sneak near the passage paved by the dark elves, and then quickly rush out of the bunker and rush towards the shield wall. Dark elf warriors, these Rakshasa demon warriors are also well-trained and well-equipped excellent warriors. Their single combat effectiveness is not inferior to the elites of the dark elves. The leader of the Rakshasa demon team is also very familiar with the art of war and knows The principle of concentrating force to attack one place, so when these Rakshasa demon warriors appeared one after another, their main attack direction was concentrated in a rather narrow area.
The dark elves were responsible for protecting this area with only some warriors holding shields and a small number of crossbow shooters. These defensive forces were unable to have any impact on the Rakshasa demon's counterattack. Their defense line only lasted a very short time before being defeated by the Rakshasa demon. The demon blocked the waist and cut it off. The dark elf warriors who were rushing at the front were cut into two parts at once, and the morale of the army was suddenly in chaos.
In a battle scene like this, the most ideal way is to form a small team of some very powerful people. If there is a problem, the small team will rush there. However, since Aledia does not want to use her trump card too early, Therefore, no legendary strong men were specially sent to suppress the formation, so the cutoff dark elves could only rely on their own strength and the support of their companions to persevere.
In order to regain the lost passage, the dark elves naturally have to invest enough troops. Since the Rakshasa demon can cut off the dark elves' position, they do not want this counterattack to fail. Soon the area becomes chaotic. Thousands of dark elves and a similar number of Rakshasa demon warriors came into contact with each other, and a fierce battle broke out.
In such a scene, trebuchets and crossbow shooters are basically useless. The only things in the crowd that can protect themselves are the scimitars in their hands and the armor on their bodies. The strength of the two sides is close, and the combat effectiveness of each individual is also very low. It's relatively close, so the proportion of battle losses is increasing almost simultaneously. No one can take advantage of this battle.
However, there are currently only more than one million Rakshasa demon warriors in the entire Three Peaks Fortress, and the Dark Elves have at least eight million troops, so the Dark Elves are not afraid of a war of attrition, especially in battles where the proportion of losses is almost the same. A war of attrition, so under fierce fighting, fewer and fewer Rakshasa demon warriors intercepted the dark elves. They originally planned to take the dark elves' retreat, but their own retreat was first surrounded by dark elf warriors.
Without the reinforcements behind them, the Rakshasa demon warriors died one by one, and were soon surrounded by dark elves in a narrow area. These Rakshasa demon warriors piled corpses on the ground to form a temporary Simple defenses, but this effort was ineffective. Their surviving warriors were dragged out one by one by the dark elves using their advantages in numbers and strength to kill them.
After another ten minutes, there were only a few dozen Rakshasa demon warriors left on the spot, and each of them had a bunch of serious injuries on their bodies. They seemed to have little fighting power. Those shaky Rakshasa warriors The demon seemed to have given the dark elf frontline commander an opportunity to make atonement. It seemed that he only needed to lead his subordinates and work harder to completely eliminate it and re-open the connection between the front and rear of this passage. But at this moment, An accident happened suddenly. A ball of hot lava fell from the sky. It was the magical effect brought by the forbidden fire spell. Its appearance also showed that the legendary strong man in the Rakshasa demon finally took action.
