Chapter 269: Attacking the Gnolls
"Drink, drink, drink!" the army marched forward with neat, heavy steps, and the oppressive shout was like a heavy drum hammering the heart of the gnolls.
Seeing this, the leader of the gnolls wanted to restrain the gnolls, but the gnolls quickly couldn't stand the might of the army from Sean Island, and all of them howled and charged towards the Sean Island army.
"Whew!"
"The kobolds stopped resisting, and the heavy shieldmen continued to advance, the kobolds were in front, the heavy shielders flanked and defended, and the spearmen were behind the heavy shields, forming a circular array. ”
"The spearmen are ready to assassinate the gnolls who charge forward at any time, the Golden Knights look for the distance to charge, and when all the gnolls charge forward, charge from the flanks to break up the gnolls formation, and the archers and crossbow archers are ready!"
"Shoot!"
As soon as Sean's words fell, the archers and crossbowmen lined up behind the heavy shield soldiers began to pour their bows and crossbows towards the rushing gnolls with all their might.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. "Hundreds of arrows shot at the gnolls huddled in a heap!
Soon, a terrible howl sounded, and a strong smell of blood gradually spread.
The dense gnolls didn't need to aim at all, hundreds of arrows were fired in a volley, and the gnolls fell down like wheat, and the wounded gnolls tried to struggle to stand up, but they were quickly trampled under the feet of their companions and became minced meat.
On the Cold Weapon battlefield, once the charge is launched, all commands are basically invalid, unless you have the ability to synchronize commands like Sean Spirit Link. Otherwise, you can only squeeze out the front row in the back row, and the front row can only be the head.
There were 200 archers and crossbow archers on this expedition, and even if only 10 arrows were fired in a minute, the gnolls had to be baptized with nearly 2,000 arrows every minute.
This is a one-sided slaughter for a jackal without heavy armor.
The gnolls were initially blinded by a barrage of shots, but their faint sanity quickly vanished in a state of rage, their mouths howling louder, and their faces charging more frantically towards the human army.
But the charging gnoll man soon came to an abrupt halt, and the gnoll in the front row, which was originally inferior to the kobold, was quickly cut off by the giant axe, and the flesh and internal organs covered the soles of the kobold's feet.
The gnolls who were held back from the attack were like ducks choked by the neck, desperate but useless, quickly harvested by the archers and crossbow archers behind the heavy shieldmen.
The gnolls attacking on the flanks were also intercepted by the heavy shield soldiers, without the slightest contribution, and their claws were grasped on the well-made heavy shields, leaving only shallow scratches, and they could not cause the scene of flying like the kobolds before.
The gnolls were also quickly assassinated by the spears behind the heavy shield soldiers, and hole-sized spear openings soon appeared on the gnolls' bodies, and then were used as pedals by their companions behind them, trying to break through from above the heavy shield soldiers.
Quite a few gnolls charged and jumped, trying to break through the defenses of the heavy shield guards and reach the interior of the circle to slaughter. But those jumping gnolls were either assassinated by spearmen or shot by archers.
The gnolls who fell to the ground and did not die were then mended one by one by the short knives that the archers carried.
The sounds of fighting, the screams of the gnolls, and the sound of bows and arrows were heard throughout the land.
"The Golden Knights charged. Sean casually assassinated one of the gnolls who stepped forward, and finally gave the Golden Knights the order to charge.
Due to the strong physical strength of the Dragon Running Beast, even if the Golden Knights did not go through a long run, the lethality of the charge was still terrifying.
As the Golden Knights charged, the battle turned one-sided, and everywhere the Golden Knights went, there were gnolls and stumps.
Seeing this scene, the gnolls with the strength of the bloodline awakening in the distance finally couldn't bear it anymore, and summoned several jackals with platinum-level strength beside them to rush towards the Golden Knights.
"I can't help myself. Sean looked at this scene with disdain, "Taylor, you took York out of the ranks to capture the gnoll leader of the bloodline awakening strength alive." ”
In order to maximize profits, the gnoll leader cannot die for the time being, at least until Sean has collected all the loot, including all the gnoll corpses, before he can die.
The slaughter continued, and the gnolls did not make the Golden Knights feel any pressure, and almost everywhere the Golden Knights went, the gnolls fled in all directions, and the slower ones were pulled by the Knights' whirling fighting spirit, and then ground into a pulp.
The kobolds led by Morton also began to exert their might, and the giant axes in their hands swung into phantoms, slaughtering all the gnolls in the front row. The fur on these kobolds was covered with the flesh of the gnolls, and the blood was dripping from the tips of the hair, converging into a stream of blood at their feet.
Although the battle situation was one-sided, as the gnolls continued to rush and kill, the numerical advantage was slowly revealed, first several kobolds were clawed and broke their arms, and then they were dragged into the encirclement of the gnolls, and were besieged to death, and even the knights did not have time to support.
The two heavy shield soldiers also leaked the weakness of their abdomen due to the swing of the jackal jumping overhead, and were quickly attacked by the jackal, disemboweling.
"Speed up and disperse the gnolls, you can't let them use their full momentum. Sean quickly stopped his one-way rush and commanded the Golden Knights to charge in a circle around the circular formation of kobolds and heavy shieldmen, strangling all the gnolls who charged forward.
As the gnolls were harvested one by one, the signs of a rout soon appeared, and when Taylor returned to the Golden Knights with the unconscious gnoll leader, the remaining gnolls finally began to slash, which turned into a rout.
But the fleeing gnolls were soon annihilated by the red-eyed kobolds, archers, crossbow archers, and the Golden Knights, and more than 2,000 gnolls all fell on the island.
The outcome of this battle was predestined from the beginning, and the result of the crushing of absolute power was a one-sided slaughter.
Blood stained the land bright red, and all kinds of stump internal organs splattered everywhere.
The war lasted less than an hour, and the rest of the time was spent chasing down the fleeing gnolls by knights, archers, and kobolds.
The soldiers also tacitly began to mend their knives, killing the gnolls who were seriously injured and had not yet breathed.
Archers and crossbow archers also began to collect arrows from the ground, and since the arrows were made of hard trees, most of them were intact and could be reused once they were collected, cleaned, and reused.
Broken arrows and arrows can also be collected again and given to the blacksmith to be re-smelted and forged farming tools.
Taylor casually threw the gnoll leader in his hand to the ground, waved his hand to summon a few heavy shield soldiers, and tied them tightly through the hemp rope and iron wire that Sean had taken out of the Najie Orb.
"My lord, this battle has lost a total of fifteen kobolds and two heavy shield soldiers. Dozens of wounded people have been cleaned. Taylor was quick to report the casualties of the battle.
War is accompanied by death, and Sean has long been mentally prepared for the loss of war, and those soldiers also died well.
"The soldier's pension was arranged in a timely manner. Sean paused and turned to look at the bloodied Moulton, "The dead kobold will send enough food to kobold islands. ”
"Thank you, Lord. ”
