Chapter 764: Closing the Door and Hitting the Dog
The cacophony echoed in everyone's ears, and the sharp tusks did not succeed in piercing the shield held by the ice giant, but instead brushed sideways past the ice giant, and then, because of the loss of balance, fell heavily into the river behind it, splashing the sky with droplets.
The soldiers behind let out an exclamation in disbelief, they thought that their trump card unit had been simply cracked, and the mammoth giant elephant that fell into the river let out a burst of wails, and tried several times in a row, but they couldn't really stand up.
It seems that he has suffered a minor injury
The Baltic soldiers on the other side began to let out irrepressible cheers, they raised their weapons high, and stomped on the ground with their feet, as if the momentum of the mountains and the sea rushed towards them.
And the group of ice giants standing at the front, they struck the shield with their weapons hard, even if the shield in their hands has been twisted to varying degrees, but with the mammoth giant elephant that is still struggling weakly in the river, it is particularly terrifying.
Some of Atila's soldiers had already begun to slowly retreat, and even the soldiers of the prison army ignored them because of their shock, and everyone could clearly see that the expressions on the soldiers' faces were getting worse and worse.
This is an extremely normal thing, what was supposed to be the trump card that could lay the foundation for victory, but being so easily routed by the enemy in front of them, and the despair that swept through the shattering of hope made these soldiers want to leave here to escape this reality.
The troll's javelin and the gnoll's slings had begun to thin out, the former having been preserving its strength and was now considering retreating from the battlefield.
The gnolls, on the other hand, saw no hope of victory, believing that even if they continued to attack, they would not be able to achieve much success and prevent the Baltic Empire's soldiers from gaining a foothold on the banks of the river.
Faced with this situation, the famine and plague in the Chinese army stood up from their seats at the same time, and they solemnly looked at the mammoth giant elephant that had fallen in the river, and there was no energy.
Watching their army shake in bursts of cheers and shouts, the two commanders knew that this was no longer the time to hesitate, and there was no time to hesitate for them, and the rout of the army only needed a moment's time.
"Get the trolls and ogres out to attack the ice giants. ”
The herald brought the orders of the two knights to the front as quickly as he could.
If there is any class in the army that can confront the ice giants head-on, it must be ogres and trolls, and only they have the size to compete with the ice giants.
If there is any class in the army that has not been shaken by the whiteness of the mammoth, it is still ogres and trolls, whose brains still can't understand what has just happened.
After receiving orders from the Commander, ogres and trolls began to throw stone balls at the Ice Giant, moving forward as they did, and by the time the celebratory Ice Giant found out, they had no time to dodge, so they could only raise their distorted shields in front of them.
There was a dull crashing sound, and the huge force caused the stone ball to split apart and turn into a sky of stones, and the cheers behind came to an abrupt end, and several ice giants who had successfully blocked the attack had fallen to the ground, blood still on the corners of their mouths and irregular twists on their arms.
These ice giants were not as easy as they appeared, although they successfully used the shield in their hands and combat skills to remove some of the impact from the mammoth giant, but the rest of the impact still caused the ice giant to take some damage.
It was only for the sake of victory in the battle that they chose to be patient, but they did not expect that the commander of the other party did not choose to give up today's war because of the defeat of the mammoth giant, but sent ogres and trolls to expose their true colors.
The fall of the Ice Giant made all the soldiers on the side of the Attila Empire breathe a sigh of relief, and subconsciously stopped retreating, while the Baltic Empire began to be anxious.
The half-giants in the back crossed the river quickly, some of them standing in front of them to fight the ogres and trolls to stop the enemy's pursuit, and the other side carried the ice giants and retreated to the other side.
Although the Half-Giants have a lower status in the army than the Giants due to their height and size, they are more numerous than the Giants, which allows the commander to use them more boldly.
Relying on the equipment on their bodies, they easily suppressed the charge of ogres and trolls, but against the thick-skinned ogres and trolls, they also had no way to achieve victory in a short period of time, and they did not have an overwhelming advantage.
The infantry of the Attila Empire began to charge forward, while the heavy infantry of the Baltic Empire stood in the way, tangled in the river beach, the sound of gold and iron and screams mingling together.
Trolls and gnolls are back in the fight, but they've always had people watching the elves across the river warily, and they'll scatter if the elves have the intention of shooting arrows.
After the bed crossbow and catapult are damaged, they will be taken care of by the other side's ranged troops as the only two rangers, although the centaurs did not cross the river here today, and there is a certain gap between them and the elves, but because of this, the elves are worthy of their attention.
Mammoths, Ice Giants, Trolls and Ogres?
No, now in this battlefield, the only people who can really be called inexplicable can be called to influence this battle are those handsome elves with longbows in their hands and unhurried.
In fact, even those elves did not expect that they would be able to achieve such a huge role in the battlefield, which completely subverted their ideas and made them feel happy with the Baltic Empire's tactical arrangements.
Elves have a very long lifespan, and they are considered to be one of the immortal species, and these elves who joined the Baltic Empire are basically from Finland and Karelia, and they have all experienced the invasion of the Attila Empire.
Defeat after defeat and flight have worn away the arrogance of these elves, making them put aside their arrogance to face these enemies, and make them understand that even if they have a bow and arrow, there is a situation that is difficult to change.
No matter how well you shoot, the opposite side adopts the tactics of savage man, even if you succeed in reducing the charge of ten men to two, but the last two are still enough to press an archer to the ground and rub it.
As for now, it's too comfortable, this longbow in his hand can increase their range by at least half, and in terms of lethality, with the presence of magic arrows, there is no need to worry about it at all.
According to the commander's orders, the elves only need to stand in a safe, well-seen place and aim at the enemy to attack, and everything else has nothing to do with them.
As for defense or something, don't worry about it, defense is originally the strength of the Baltic Empire's army, and the heavy infantry in front of you wearing heavy armor is not an ornament, even if your own heavy cavalry wants to break through such a defense, it is not a simple matter.
In this case, the focus of the battle was still on the battle for the top of the passage, and the Attila Empire wanted to close the gap and drive the enemy back from the river bank as much as possible.
Thirty minutes, an hour, two hours
Time passed quickly, but the battlefield was still in a state of stalemate, and on the banks of the river, the corpses of different clothes had been covered with a thick layer, most of them were soldiers of the Attila Empire.
"Do not give up. ”
The plague looked at the situation and made such a suggestion.
"Give up? No, we must not give up. ”
Famine turned his head to look at his companion and said earnestly.
"Plague, you shouldn't have forgotten, the strength of the Baltic Empire is defense, it is a war of movement, now we must block them here, if they are allowed to come to the other side of this side, then the supply line of our city will be cut off. ”
"No, famine, the plague still has some truth. ”
A third voice abruptly interjected into the conversation between the two, and a knight dressed in red stood in front of them.
"Why did you come to war?"
"War, what do you mean?"
The plague was a little euphoric, and the famine was unpleasant.
The war, which was supposed to be fought many years ago, reappeared here after the enemy who had been defeated and killed by the battle with Alice.
"What I mean is obvious, we need to put these people in the fight and get them on this side. ”
The words of war made Famine frown, he didn't quite understand why war had such an idea, giving up his defensive superiority and putting himself at a disadvantage to fight the enemy.
The war saw the idea of famine at a glance, and although it was difficult for the two of them to get along in terms of personality, and they were always arguing, it did not affect their friendship.
"There are many reasons, now that river is occupied by the Baltic Empire, all of which are sea tribes, we have no way to cross the river to attack the enemy on the other bank, we can only passively wait for the other party's attack. ”
Famine and Plague nodded, this was indeed the problem they were facing now, because they could not attack the Baltic Empire's military territory from another side, and they could not bypass the heavy infantry to attack the elves.
"With that river under the control of the other side, in essence, our side is the attacking side, and we simply have no way to break through this layer of defense, and we cannot pose a threat to the enemy. ”
Waiting for the war to finish his reasoning, Famine said.
"You have to take into account another problem, there are no centaurs on our side, if the other side successfully lands, our supply lines will be easily cut off by the enemy, don't forget what the reason for our last defeat. ”
This is indeed a matter that needs to be carefully considered, and the last defeat is still fresh in my mind, and it is precisely because of the highly mobile troops on the side of the Baltic Empire that their logistics were completely paralyzed, which led to the final defeat in the battle with the United Kingdom.
"It's not a problem with the centaurs, and even with the centaurs, we can't stop them from cutting off our supply lines, and they can take advantage of our negligence to come to us at night. ”
The war shook his head, and he was puzzled by this, and he didn't understand why the Baltic Empire would give up its own advantages and fight such a battle, such a costly battle.
Regarding the tacit agreement on logistics supply lines, no one knows how long it will last, after all, this is a war in which both sides want to win, and you live and die.
"Even so, I stick to my point of view and put them on our territory, only then we can win, and now we are fighting them very fiercely, but I think you can all see that we have suffered a lot of losses, but we have not achieved much success. ”
War said firmly, and the plague nodded in agreement.
Two to one, the famine can only reluctantly agree with the method of war, and he also has to admit that the war is very reasonable, and if he continues to persist like yesterday, he will only lose his face while winning face.
The Attila Empire originally had a gap with the Baltic Empire in all aspects, but there was not so much money to waste on the famine, and his goal was to fight a protracted war, and it was impossible to fight a protracted war if he lost all the lizi.
"However, we can't let them land so easily, it will show them the flaws, and even if we have to lose, we have to lose beautifully. ”
At the end of the war, he told him that he was not suitable to stand in the foreground now, and if the resurrection of the war was known to others, then it would definitely make waves in the Northland.
More importantly, I don't want the Baltic Empire to know, because in terms of the style of fighting, war is very different from famine and plague, and yesterday's two operations were orders from war, which made the results so good-looking, and played an ending that even the Baltic Empire could not imagine.
Among the four knights of war, plague, famine and death, in essence, in terms of really leading the army and conducting war, the best is war, and before the war is killed, even if the contact is repelled twice by Beowulf, it ends in defeat.
However, after the war died in Alice's design, the performance of the army of the Attila Empire on the battlefield plummeted, and a series of losses caused by the loss of troops made the Attila Empire unable to recover for a long time.
"War, we can do that. ”
Famine smiled awkwardly, he knew that the words of war meant something, but he was embarrassed to continue to refute.
However, in the conversation of the three knights, they completely ignored the life and death of the mammoth elephants, or in their eyes, the mammoths that were not dead now had no value to save, and they were no different from dying.
