Chapter 265: Shouping

Undoubtedly, the [Dark Portal], which can directly involve four artillery pieces, including dozens of members of the artillery crew, and wipe them out in one fell swoop, is by no means a low-level spell.

The lethality brought by this six-ring magic on the battlefield is particularly powerful, especially when the target of the spell hits a key part.

However, although the power of the six-ring spell was displayed, it did not mean that there was really a great magician above the eleventh level in the Tiedinggang army formation. The three warlocks who completed the combined spellcasting and cast this spell actually have only level 1 spellcasting levels.

Although the three of them work together, barely completing this spell will cause their magic power to be greatly depleted, and the role they can play in the next battle will not be that great.

But it's worth it for Gusha.

If the artillery of the White Wolf Fort Legion is not wiped out, and the opponent is allowed to show its power in the subsequent war, the accumulated losses will not be a single star. Not to mention, the blow to one's own morale under the constant bombing may be more troublesome than the direct loss of personnel.

And now, although there are still two cannons in the White Wolf Fort Legion, there are also on our own side. A two-on-two firepower fight is already irrelevant to the overall situation.

Looking back, the next thing that can determine the final outcome of this battle is still the flesh and blood of the soldiers.

When the distance between the two sides approached two to three hundred meters, the respective archers pulled away their arrows one after another.

Under the Gusha Legion, there is a special archer phalanx, and the rain of arrows shot out in volley covers the sky and the earth.

On the other side of the White Wolf Fort, the main force was light infantry short archers with shields on their backs and short swords pinned to their waists. They also drew their bowstrings and shot arrows under unified orders.

The archer duel between the two sides is still about the same, no one is better than the other.

Most of the archers in the Iron Nail Hill Legion under Gusha were newly recruited soldiers, as well as the remnants of Haman in the past equipped with bows and arrows. Although these soldiers are known as archers, they have also mastered the ability to shoot with bows and arrows after a certain amount of training.

But then again, the quality of its own soldiers is relatively average, and they have been transformed. There is really no way to compare with professional elite shooters.

Fortunately, the archers of the White Wolf Fort Legion were not much better.

Although those light infantry carrying shields are also equipped with short bows and have certain long-range attack capabilities, their roles have always been the same no matter whether they were in the hands of Morneau in the past or in the hands of Dane now. It's just a supporter for long-range attacks. With their abilities, it's okay to make some long-range shooting supplements, but it's still unrealistic to hope that they can become the final elite on the battlefield.

It is precisely because of this that the effects achieved by the two sides in the shooting of bows and arrows are almost the same.

However, Gu Sha had some doubts in his heart.

He remembered that Dane's army should have had a shooter who could be called a direct line of troops during the great battle in the Eastern Wasteland a few months ago, given by his own family.

Gusha didn't just remember this, he was impressed. After all, in the land of Schindler, halflings, half-orcs, and dwarves are not rare, and dwarves can be seen occasionally, but elves are really rare. No elf would like the environment and landform of Schindler, so that among the relatively famous people who are active in this land, there is no one else except the dead Jere. And Jere is just a wild elf.

A troop of elf rangers, although the number of them mentioned in the intelligence is not many, but their terrifying strength is also mentioned at the same time.

Gusha has always been on guard against this. In his mind, the threat of the rumored powerful ranger squadron may be more terrifying than artillery—no matter how powerful the artillery is, it will always be flawed if it is not accurate enough and the time between attacks is long. Unlike the rangers who can complete high-precision single-target shooting, if that round of salvo can kill a group of people as rumored, the lethality it will bring is too terrible.

However, the result of his precautions was still somewhat unexpected. Gu Sha originally thought that his archer phalanx would suffer a heavy loss, but it turned out that nothing happened as he expected. The ranger army that he knew should be composed of elves did not appear on the battlefield.

This is a strange thing.

Gusha became more cautious, his eyes fluttered around, trying to find out where the ranger troops were hidden, but he couldn't find them until the main forces of the two sides began to confront each other head-on.

It is impossible for him to put all his energy on the unknown ranger army, and he needs to worry more about the frontal battlefield.

The heavy infantry regiment pressing up put a lot of pressure on the iron nail hill regiment. These powerful legions established by Morno in the past few decades and now inherited by Dane are dressed in heavy armor, equipped with shields and warhammers, and formed after rigorous selection and training. The army is strictly disciplined , the formation is tight, and the quality of individual soldiers is also very high. The infantrymen of Chaos City who were fighting head-on were considered elite. At least when Gusha led his subordinates to fight in the north and south, except for the battle that wiped out the remnants loyal to Governor Bernier, there was no other way. I have never encountered an army that can fight the same.

He is quite fortunate now that there are only two white wolf guards in front of him. If this number is doubled, even if he presses all the infantry in the confusion city in his hand, he will probably be defeated by other people's heavy armor. To be crushed under the hammer.

"It's almost comparable to Korkaron..." Gusha said angrily, and stepped up to send more troops up.

After seeing the strength of the White Wolf Guard, Gusha has completely given up the idea of directly killing Dane's army in this battle. Although he still holds a squadron of dark spirit warriors in his hand, this army is more reliable for assaulting and destroying some key targets, but throwing it on the frontal battlefield... The pitiful magic power of dark spirit warriors is hard to support They have maintained their peak combat for a long time.

And once the magic power is used up, their lack of magic ability will plummet in combat effectiveness, and if they face the same number of White Wolf Guards, the situation will be very tragic.

However, even so, it's okay, the main force of the infantry of the Confused City can hold down the opponent for the time being by relying on its superiority in numbers. The other part of the soldiers who rushed up were far inferior to the combat effectiveness of the White Wolf Guards. In this way, as long as Gusha himself did not fight too aggressively and made any mistakes, it should not be a big problem to stick to a draw. (To be continued.)
