Chapter 224: The Elven Expeditionary Force at a Disadvantage
No matter how elite an army is, it will collapse in one night when it is tossed by a group of enemies who cannot fight back.
This night, the windmill bombarded back and forth dozens of times, and even two diamond-level elders were dispatched later, but it still had no effect.
It's not that the strength of the big windmill is more powerful than that of a diamond-level elder, in fact, the combat power of the three big windmills together plus Lin Xiao who is holding the storm cannot be the opponent of a crystal-level powerhouse.
But the three big windmills are equipped with the latest spatial transfer runes researched by Tang Dou, these runes are researched on the real Demon Teleportation Array, even with the convenience of Avalon, Tang Dou is still constantly studying the Demon Teleportation Array, it is estimated that it will not be long before the real Demon Teleportation Array can be reproduced in his hands.
And the function of these spatial transfer runes extracted and improved from the Demon Teleportation Array is to have a more stable and fast resonance with the Avalon space. Under this resonance, the windmill can even switch spaces once per minute in the limit state, and each switch will not exceed three seconds.
At an altitude of 500 meters, three seconds is enough time for these big guys to return to Avalon and hide when they are in danger.
The two Diamond-level elders were spotted as soon as they lifted into the air, and then the big windmill turned around and burrowed into the Avalon space.
Later, the attack of the big windmill was even more vicious and obscene, first raising the altitude to the limit of 650 meters, and then maintaining the maximum speed of movement, and dropping bombs down at four or four beats.
They don't care about the target anymore, as long as they see where there are many people and things, they will blow them up, it doesn't matter if they can kill people, it doesn't matter if they can burn things. Anyway, as long as you drive the elves crazy, it's a complete task.
Even the slightest hint of wind during the bombing process will immediately burrow back into the Avalon space.
The two diamond-level elf elders had thought of all kinds of methods, but they couldn't do anything with those three tricky things in the sky.
And so in the midst of the elves' madness, the night passed.
When the sky began to slowly swallow the fish white, the power core of the big windmill finally couldn't stand the tossing of the controller, and thick smoke rose, and Lin Xiao had to let people stop the big windmill completely.
After returning to Avalon, the Great Windmill One fell directly from the sky due to a malfunction, but fortunately, the floating rune on it was not completely damaged, otherwise it would have been completely destroyed.
Lin Xiao was afraid of being scolded by Tang Dou, so he said that he would fight, turned around and ran away.
Former site of a log oasis.
The black smoke rising can be seen from hundreds of miles away in the log oasis, and the bombardment of the whole night has not caused much damage to personnel. Two or three hundred battle losses were not taken into account at all, but there was no one in the Elven Expeditionary Force to rest for the whole night.
Everyone was busy putting out the fire and salvaging supplies.
After daybreak, Narlius got a list of the loss of supplies that made the elven general's face darken.
The five birdwing ballistas were completely blown into slag, one birdwing ballista was damaged, and its performance was reduced by half, and the ten birdwing ballistas brought out did not kill one enemy, so they lost five and a half first.
The army's food and grass is the most important of all the material baggage, and it is also the focus of yesterday's attack. No matter how tightly guarded the barracks were, they couldn't stop the attack from the sky, not to mention that the big windmill still used the most vicious napalm incendiary bombs, and the fire within a radius of 100 meters could burn a cup of tea.
In such a situation, there is no way to save much grain and grass.
Later, it was the logistics quartermaster who had a flexible brain, and simply let people carry all the rescued grain and grass with him, disperse and protect them, so that the army's rations for two days were saved.
Originally, the army's stock of food should have lasted for ten days.
In addition to grain and grass, there are also a lot of various war materials, such as arrows and war equipment.
In addition, the number of bighorn deer that died due to the bombing was quite large, and the bighorn deer were not adapted to the desert environment of Arsa, and they were forcibly brought in by the elves with their own various medicines and the assistance of the war spirit.
But no amount of assistance can withstand the endless bombardment, in one night, a total of more than 10,000 bighorn deer killed and injured more than 8,000, based on the special of Arsa, the bighorn deer is basically not alive after being injured.
So more than 8,000 of the more than 10,000 knights became infantry overnight.
The previous encounters with the vanguard have shown that the Arsa side has a strong sand scorpion cavalry. At this moment, the elves don't have to think about fighting against Arsa in terms of cavalry.
The big tent in the army - in fact, it's not a big tent, it's just a circle of people gathered together, the big tent or something is almost burned, the target of the big tent in the army is too conspicuous, and it was bombed last night.
As a result, the dignified King of Blood Elves can only hold open-air meetings on a few broken tables now.
Narius, Zolat, Ramondino, the two elders, and the captains of several other legions were all gathered together, each with a dark face—not all angry, most of them actually smoked.
"Now that the enemy has appeared with weapons that we can't understand, let's talk about it!" Narius could still keep his composure, and he had to keep his composure. Although his stomach was about to explode.
Zorat was the first to speak: "Commander, the most troublesome thing about those remnants of Arsa is not their flying things, but that they have the magic teleportation array!" ”
He immediately said the knowledge of the magic language teleportation array that his lieutenant gave him to popularize science: "You have also seen it, although those three flying things are powerful, they are not impossible to crack, but with the magic language teleportation array, we can't do anything about them!" ”
Everyone was not stupid, and when they heard Zorat say this, they understood the situation, and their faces were gloomy.
"Zolath, do you mean that we can't do anything with the remnants of Arsa?" The commander of the third legion of the clan said with a calm face.
Zorat shook his head: "If we go according to the original plan, there will definitely be no way. I think we should have a blitzkrieg with each other now! ”
"What do you mean?"
"The other side has air superiority, and unless we can bring in our air force from the rear, and there must be sufficient numbers, it will be impossible for us to camp in any place to get rid of the enemy's attack. So we have to fight quickly and push the inner ring all the way, so that they don't have time to play to their advantage in attacking! ”
Zorat is a hardliner, and his style of combat is to sweep away leaves with a strong wind.
"Let's look at the situation now. Why didn't the enemy attack again, did they think it was enough? I don't think so, if they can keep attacking, then our army can only collapse, this is a fact that has to be admitted. But they didn't, and when the last three monsters left, one of them was still smoking, so I think the Remnant of Arsa's Remnant of the Flying Monsters had a time to go. After a certain amount of time, they have to stop, or they will fall off on their own without us hitting them! ”
"And this time is the most precious time for us to attack, we need to take advantage of this time to build as many oases as possible in the inner ring, so that we can take advantage of more material supplies and more strategic advantages. Let's not forget that we are attacking the Inner Ring, the last lifeline for the remnants of Arsa. ”
"Even if they can ruthlessly burn the log oasis, can they still burn all the oases in the inner ring? Don't forget, even if we really take 10,000 steps back and say that our army's expedition has failed, it is impossible for the remnants of Arsa to counterattack us, they are affected by the curse of Arsa, and they can't leave Arsa at all, especially the people in the inner ring. They can't get out of here, they can't really destroy all the oases! ”
When everyone heard this, they all felt reasonable.
But the temporary commander of the First Legion of the State was a little embarrassed: "Zorat, what you said is very reasonable, but you should not forget our current situation. Soldiers are not puppet soldiers, they need to rest, we can still hold on without rest this night, we can continue to fight without rest for two days, but how many days can we not rest? The other party's surprise attack does have a gap, but the other party doesn't need to follow us all the time, they just need to attack and disturb us when we are resting! If this continues, we may not even be able to hold out before the first oasis is defeated! ”
Everyone nodded again, and now this is actually their headache...
Zoillat also nodded: "Indeed, of course we can't do it just like this, but I have a way that I don't know if it can be done!" ”
The crowd looked at him.
Zorat said: "You should also know that my adjutant's father is an Augustus scholar, and he has a deep study of teleportation arrays, so my adjutant also has some insights into teleportation arrays, although he can't make teleportation arrays, but he can make things that interfere with teleportation arrays!" ”
Zorratt spoke his mind. Quite simply, use a rune that can interfere with the movement of the teleportation array to carve into the arrow, and then have the strongest and strongest sniper in archery shoot at the windmill.
There is no need to break the defense, just let the arrow touch the big windmill to interfere with the teleportation.
After the teleportation was disrupted, they launched a strong attack and knocked down the windmill.
Even if only one is defeated, then the enemy will find that the windmill is not as inexplicable as imagined.
War is not afraid of casualties, but of an unsolvable enemy. As long as it can be cracked, it is no problem if the casualties are larger.
Everyone hurriedly asked for details, and Zorat simply called his adjutant over to explain to everyone.
The adjutant was indeed a family scholar, and his attainments in runes were quite profound, and he made a reasoned analysis of these supreme commanders of the expeditionary force, and then took out the finished product that had been prepared.
"General, generals, the last general can't guarantee that his design will be effective now, and he can only say that the Demon Teleportation Array researched by my father will indeed be interfered with by this. However, judging from the actions of the other party, they should be more mature in terms of the Demon Teleportation Array, so the last general thinks that they should conduct an experiment! ”
Zorat's lieutenant was not only a man of great learning, but also a clever man, and he knew that it was easy to make trouble if he spoke too much in the present situation, but it was not good to appear too unconfident, so his words were right.
Narius glanced at the adjutant and nodded: "Very good, just do it according to your method, and ask Zorat what resources you need, and the army will give you priority." ”
"Zolath, Demontin, Kloser, regroup your legions, I will see them return to normal in an hour. Since the remnants of Arsa want to drag us across, let us see if they are happy! ”
The order of Narius was given, and the commanders of the legions immediately took the orders and left.
The last ones left were Ramondino and the two elven elders.
The two diamond-level elven elders just glanced at Narius, didn't say anything, and turned to leave, their strength and identity made them transcendent, and they were acting with the expeditionary force this time, and a large part of the reason was to protect Xue asked.
But now Xue Wendao was nowhere to be found, only the small note from Sha Yunyue brought by Ramondino, so the two elven elders decided to continue to maintain an attitude of observing from the side.
The two elven elders left, and Narius looked at Ramondino: "Do you know something that I don't know?" ”
Ramondino Salon, the oldest bloodline of the Golden Elves is a member of the Salonian family. The Saron family is the largest number of the five families of the Golden Elves and has the strongest combat effectiveness, but they have never been involved in the royal family, and they call themselves the guardians of the Golden Elves.
And that's exactly what they've done over the years.
The position of the commander of the Royal Guard has always belonged to the House of Salon.
After 10,000 years of inheritance, this has never changed, the only embarrassing thing is that there are some differences in the current elf king's ascendancy, although the Saron family supports the current elf king to succeed to the throne, but they also make it clear that the next elf king must be Xue asked.
And the time of Xue Wendao's succession is not when the current Elf King dies, but when Xue Wendao is a thousand years old, that is, when Xue Wendao reaches the age of the Elf King's succession and completes all the succession trials.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the Saron family, the current elven king is not so much an elven king as a temporary regent.
But no matter which world the regent is, he is obviously unwilling to give up his place.
The current Elven King has been trying to find a way to control the Council of Elders and the Royal Praetorian Guard. Now two-thirds of the Council of Elders and half of the Royal Praetorian Guard have fallen into the hands of the current Elven King.
But the position of the commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard is still tightly held in the hands of the Salons, and the most elite half of the Royal Praetorian Guard is still loyal to Yu Xue asked.
What kind of purpose Narius has for coming out with this half of the Royal Praetorian Guard this time, many people know it in their hearts.
Faced with Narius's inquiry, Ramondino said nothing.
But his silence seemed to have given Narius the answer he wanted, and the Blood Elf King was silent for a moment, then said, "Now that there is a shortage of manpower and serious material losses, I need you to take the Royal Praetorian Guard to meet the baggage troops!" ”
Ramondino replied sullenly, "Yes!" ”
Turn around and walk away cleanly.
Narius looked at his back, and there was a bit of gloom in his eyes: "It seems that you have already connected!" ”
Others don't know, but Narius knows very well that Tang Dou is in the inner ring of Arsa, and he should be the commander-in-chief of the Arsa rebels.
Syllable!
Narlius crushed the pen in his hand and whispered a name in anger.
"Aresta!"
