Chapter 0683: On the eve of the decisive battle

War is raging in the north of Arthur's kingdom, and there is no peace in the Ambrizette Mountains in the south.

Two days ago, Renard led 2,000 soldiers and 500 Guardian Knights to cover the evacuation of the large army from Qiming Mountain.

They held on for two hours, seeing that the large army had disappeared into the dense forest below the mountain, and then they used the spatial teleportation scroll to escape smoothly.

More than 2,000 people wandered around the mountains for two whole days, and it took a great deal of effort to get rid of the demon's pursuers, and finally rushed to the northeastern camp to join the main army.

The attack was very fruitful, killing at least four million demons, of which more than three million were solved by the fire attack plan.

Although more than ninety percent of the demons killed were cannon fodder, they still dealt a heavy blow to the other party.

The demon nobles certainly couldn't swallow this bad breath, and the next day they launched a large-scale attack on the temporary defense line built by humans and natives.

With the dull beat of drums, the demon army rushed towards the wooden wall.

Naturally, the defenders would not sit idly by, and the rumbling artillery fire was the first to sound.

The position of 800 to 1,500 meters in front of the camp was completely covered by dense shells, and it became a complete death zone.

However, the demon's attack was too fast, and more than sixty percent of the demons still rushed through this forbidden area and quickly approached the camp.

By the time they reached the range of 300 meters, the muskets already had great lethality, and the commanders decisively gave the order to fire.

In an instant, the gunfire was like rain, which made two percent of the demons fall to the ground and die.

Finally, with the sound of the bowstring tightening, half of the remaining forty percent of the demons fell.

However, most of the people who were killed in front were cannon fodder, and the truly powerful demons would not be easily killed, and the remaining two percent of the demons were almost all elites.

Inside, there are Minotaurs, Sheephorns, and Scythes......

However, these slips of the net did not need to be dealt with by Renard, and the natives had already rushed out to meet the camp before the other party set foot in the camp.

Renard had promised the natives that they could kill the demons in exchange for supplies.

Therefore, in the eyes of the natives, these demons that rushed up were not demons at all, but countless rations and bright equipment.

Standing on the high watchtower, Reynard stared at the black army of demons in the distance, his brows furrowed: "How many waves of attacks is this?"

Rolson next to him said: "It should be the twenty-fourth time, uh, no, it seems to be the twenty-fifth time." ”

He grinned awkwardly and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I can't remember clearly." ”

Renard shook his head and smiled: "It seems that the demons hate me to the bone." ”

In just 14 hours, more than 20 attacks were launched on the defensive line, an average of two per hour, which was a great test of physical strength on both sides.

Looking at the demon corpses covered all over the ground, Rao is Renard experienced a hundred battles, and he couldn't help but shudder: "How big is the other party's loss? Two million? Or three million?"

He brought 100,000 soldiers with him, plus nearly 2 million natives, to build a 50-kilometer defensive line.

If nothing else, the eighty-kilometer-long line of defense is already covered with demon corpses.

There were only about 20 million demons stationed around Mount Amboa, and nearly three million were killed by humans and natives when they first began to cooperate, and another four million were killed two days ago, adding up to seven million.

If today's losses are counted, the demon army is afraid that more than half of the casualties have already been lost.

Renard took a deep breath

Instead of being happy with this brilliant result, he became more and more worried.

The demons have lost a lot, so is their loss small?

The 100,000 soldiers he brought with him are now less than 70,000, and the loss is more than 30%.

That is to say, in the future, the formation of the four legions will disappear completely, and more than 30,000 happy families will be shattered, wives will lose their husbands, children will lose their fathers, parents will lose their sons, and compatriots will lose their brothers.

Moreover, there are many fathers, sons and brothers in the army, and if they are unlucky, I am afraid that the women and children in the family will lose all their support.

The situation of the human army is not bad, after all, the army of Gannan Province is well-equipped and the soldiers are superior.

The situation of the natives is somewhat miserable, with more than half of the two million natives lost, and most of the rest are wounded, and their combat effectiveness has declined seriously.

On the battlefield, powerful natives like trolls and ogres have the lowest survival rate, because they are so silly and cute, and they always like to rush to the front.

Kobolds and goblins, who are not strong and timid, have the highest survival rate, and often just crouch in the rear and release cold arrows, incidentally remembering the exploits of their fallen comrades on themselves.

All in all, the two sides can only be regarded as a draw.

However, Renard clearly knew that most of the demons he had killed before were cannon fodder, and the real elite did not show up at all.

None of the terrifying troops such as the Baba Demon, the Baro Flame Demon, the Abyss Refining Demon, and the Great Demon have ever been in battle.

If the prediction is right, when their own strength is exhausted, these demon main battle forces will launch a decisive attack.

Thinking so, the desolate sound of a horn was heard again in the distance.

Renard hurriedly took out his binoculars and looked at them, and suddenly felt chills all over his body.

Demons! Countless demons!

The front row is densely packed with cannon fodder demons, the middle row is a slightly looser middle and lower class demons, and the back row is a more loose high level demon.

Although the ranks were loose, the battle lines were long.

If you make a rough estimate of the demons on the entire battlefield based on the number of demons in front of you, I am afraid that there are no less than one million cannon fodder demons, no less than 500,000 medium demons, and no less than 200,000 high demons.

After more than twenty times of attrition and temptation, the demons were finally about to launch a large-scale attack.

The roar of the demon and the sound of the horn of attack sounded at the same time, causing the human and the natives to change color at the same time, and the timid were frightened into two trembling, and the natives had already fled.

Renard clenched his fists, and the decisive moment was approaching.

He knew that this attack would definitely be able to withstand it, but the damage was immeasurable, and whether he could withstand the next attack depended on the destiny of heaven.

He silently prayed that there would not be too many casualties.

All he could do now was pray, after all, everything that needed to be done had been done.

A large number of magic scrolls were distributed, and there were basically four or five per person.

The Forbidden Spell Scrolls were also distributed to the division commanders, allowing them to relieve their urgent needs when they could not hold their positions.

All kinds of weapons and equipment have been erected, and even the magic guide cannon and elf blade throwing car have been exchanged for dozens of them, which can be said to be a bloody investment.

If this could not stop the demon's attack, he would have to retreat to the city of Gannan Province.

No one knows how terrible the war will become.

The rumbling of cannon fire rang out again, easily muffling out the heavy footsteps of the demon army.

Cannonballs whizzed and fell into the demon army, and each violent explosion could take the lives of several demons.

Seeing this, Renard sighed secretly, the power of these shells is still too small, and the killing range is very limited.

If it were replaced by a cannonball from the previous life, let alone 20 million demons, it would be easy to deal with it even if it was ten times more than a hundred times.

Although the power of the cannon was not satisfactory, the magic cannon and the elven blade cart gave him a very big surprise.

The price of these two things is dozens of times the price of artillery, but it gives the feeling of excellent value for money.

The magic guide cannon hit accurately and powerfully, and it was specially fired at the high-level demons in the back row, and dozens of high-level demons could be blasted into slag with one shot.

The elf blade throwing car is a killing weapon, and countless blades shoot out flat, which can cut all the demons in front of you.

However, both of these things have their drawbacks, as the Magic Cannon takes a long time to recharge after it is fired, and it is extremely time-consuming and laborious to install the Elven Blade Throwing Blade's blade.

In addition, the control of these two things is extremely complicated, and it requires the cooperation of eight or nine people to successfully complete the entire process from loading to launching, which invisibly weakens the strength of the defenders.

Of course, the flaws are not hidden, and on such a large-scale battlefield, the two still play a great role.

The demons quickly rushed out of the cannon fire and were faced with muskets and bows and arrows.

Surprisingly, however, after rushing through the artillery coverage, the demons did not immediately attack, but reorganized their ranks at a distance of three hundred to eight hundred meters.

At this distance, artillery, muskets, bows and arrows were all left to play.

Three hundred meters away, the muskets were not lethal enough, and the bows and arrows could not shoot that far.

Although the adjustment of the artillery to flat fire can play a role, it is obviously too late to adjust the defensive formation at this time.

At present, only the magic guide cannon and the elf blade throwing car can still exert their power, but unfortunately the number of these two strategic-level mass killing weapons is too small, there are dozens in total, scattered on the battlefield as long as fifty kilometers, and the effect on the entire battle situation is simply minimal.

Therefore, everyone did not have any countermeasures except to watch the other party reorganize the team.

You can't rush out and fight with each other, right? Isn't that just following the other person's wishes?

Renard couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes were on fire, and he snorted coldly, "It seems that there are many smart guys among the demon commanders. ”

The demons quickly adjusted their formation, still with the cannon fodder demons in front, the miscellaneous demons in the middle, and the high-level demons in the end.

However, it was a little different from before, and the strong motley demons and high demons actually picked up the corpses of their companions to serve as meat shields.

The defenders immediately looked at each other, and even the commanders in high positions like Renard and Ray Dawang were stunned, and then they all secretly screamed that it was not good.

Almost simultaneously they gave the order: "Archers ready!"

The other party used the corpse of his companion as a shield, and the musket would definitely be useless.

With the power of the musket now, it is simply not enough to penetrate the body.

In other words, the only thing that can be used for long-range strikes today is the bow and arrow.

Bows and arrows can be projectile, barely having a lethal effect, which is better than nothing.

Upon hearing the order, the human soldiers and natives all drew their bows and arrows at the feathered arrows as if they didn't want money.

The sound of popping into the flesh and screams sounded from time to time, causing chills.
