Sixty-five
The heavy snow that flooded the entire United Kingdom finally stopped at the end of December. The enemy, who had been facing each other in the south for almost the entire winter, took advantage of the snow to stop and launched another attack on the human forces. Marshal Odin didn't know where the enemy's confidence and courage came from, and launched a general attack in this deep snowy environment, but the enemy had hit the front and it was impossible to hold out. As a result, the two sides launched the largest battle in this icy and snowy land since the underground race entered the kingdom. The kingdom's more than 200,000 troops fought fiercely with nearly 300,000 enemies in a complex hilly plain that stretched for hundreds of miles, and the battle situation was extremely stalemate.
Due to the deep snow, the kingdom's ace cavalry, the Tiger Guard, had no room to play. At the forefront of the line are always our brave and fearless infantrymen, and Guderian's dragon guards are one of them. Marshal Odin's battle formation has always been decent, and this time is no exception. What's more, this is a large group army operation, so he can't afford to be careless. Originally, it was impossible for the dragon guards led by Guderian to be arranged to the front line, after all, it had just been formed by recruits for less than half a year. However, at Guderian's strong request, and with Guderian's past record, the marshal reluctantly agreed to put the dragon guard led by Guderian in front of the enemy's arrow.
On the front hundreds of miles from west to east, Evra and Generals Francis led a force of nearly 60,000 men to block the enemy's northward advance in the easternmost hilly areas; on the more open and hilly plains on the central line, Marshal Odin led the Tiger Guard and more than 40,000 troops directly under him, Guderian and Augustus each led the Dragon Guard and the Tiger Guard in front of the enemy's large army; and the remaining troops fought the enemy on the Western Front under the leadership of their respective generals.
After the battle entered a stalemate, the enemy turned on the kobold attrition mode again. I have to say that kobolds are a nightmare for mankind as cannon fodder. The Minotaur and Drow were already superior in their forces, which would send the kobolds to consume and exhaust the human soldiers, and the human defense line would be even more precarious.
On the evening of December 29, 1695 in the kingdom calendar, after the kobold charge on the center line of the defense line ended, the Minotaurs and the Drow army once again launched a general attack on the humans. This battlefield was on a narrow flat land between the northern and southern hills, and the camps of the two sides were set up on the northern and southern hills, facing each other for about ten miles. Due to the snow, the battlefields on the flat ground are all trenches that are more than one meter deep, five or six meters wide, horizontal and vertical. The Minotaurs marched in front of the line on the carcass of the kobolds, followed by the drow archers. Then there are the Drow, the Gnome Mage team, and a smaller version of the Catapult. More than a dozen drow and dwarf archmages also rose into the air one after another, serving as a pressing formation, always paying attention to the movements of human beings.
Guderian's dragon guard and Augustus's eagle guard hurriedly replaced the commander's troops who had just received the dobolds' warriors' lifeless assault to meet the minotaur queue. Fighting, again in these horizontal trenches.
Marshal Odin stood on a high platform at the back of the position, and the mages had drawn closer to the battlefield.
"There is no danger to defend this area, and our fighters can barely survive by relying on the enemy's lack of adaptation to the weather. However, the existence of kobolds and the climatic advantage were gone, and because the shortcomings of snow supply became more and more obvious, we had to retreat. The marshal said as he watched the battle on the battlefield. Next to the big handsome, stood Rommel and Gandalf. The rest of the generals were in the camp and ready to support the battlefield. And Douglas, Martin and other archmages have already risen into the air to guard against the enemy's archmages. In terms of the number of archmages, humans are clearly at a disadvantage. In addition to Douglas and Martin, there are only six human archmages in the middle lane, including Natasha. The enemy has never launched a contest between high-end forces, but he is afraid of those human warriors and strong people hidden on the battlefield. For example, Guderian had previously slain two enemy archmages. They didn't know how many warriors like Guderian there were in the human race, so they didn't rush to launch a high-end power duel. Of course, they also have strong fighters, but who will put these hole cards on the surface?
The scene of hand-to-hand combat was extremely intense, and both sides in the trench did not give an inch. Within a quarter of an hour, the ditch where the two sides met was filled with each other's corpses. However, who cares about the red-eyed enemies and the enemy? The spells of the middle and high-level mage teams, the rain of arrows of the crossbowmen, and the confrontation between catapults and bed crossbows all bloom on this narrow battlefield.
Dressed in the armor of a lieutenant, Guderian led more than a dozen soldiers around the trenches, looking for the enemy's flaws and possible high-ranking warriors. This was the third day of fighting, and during these few days of fighting, Guderian discovered that the enemy had high-ranking warriors mixed in with the attacking minotaurs, who specialized in assassinating the low-ranking lieutenants of the human race. The dragon guard lost six ensigns, much to Goodry's anguish and anger. In the general engagement, and especially in such trenches, the lieutenants, as commanders and arrows of small groups, were at best seriously wounded rather than killed at the slightest sight. At first, Guderian didn't take it to heart, and when he killed three lieutenants in a row, he felt something unusual. That's why there was a wandering at this time. However, for two days in a row, the enemy seemed to notice his actions, and there was no further death of the lieutenant. This made Guderian feel puzzled, could he have guessed wrong?
In a trench, the human warriors were forced back by the minotaurs, and the second lieutenant who led dozens of human warriors was also seriously wounded and protected behind by the soldiers. Guderian and his party happened to arrive, so they couldn't help but shout and rushed forward with Guderian.
Just as Guderian and his soldiers were blocking the pursuit of the Minotaur, a huge black shadow waving a two-handed slasher suddenly rushed out of the Minotaur's array, and rushed straight towards Guderian.
"When!" Guderian was shocked back two or three steps with his sword, while the black shadow leaped back more than a foot by the force of the countershock of the intersecting weapons. It was only then that Guderian could see clearly in the twilight that this was a minotaur who was taller and stronger than an ordinary minotaur. The two short corners of the chair were cut off by an unknown sharp blade, and the whole body was covered with black light armor, and a chopping knife two meters long and a foot wide had no doubt that it would be split into two if it was cut down. On the pitch-black face of the minotaur, a pair of large copper bell-like eyes stared at Guderian in amazement, and the nostrils with the nose ring spewed out a stream of hot air.
The soldiers reacted only after the sound of "dang", and immediately guarded Guderian after he was shaken back two or three steps.
"General! That's it! Several of my classmates were killed by it!" called the second lieutenant, who was being held by the soldiers, behind Guderian.
Guderian waved his hand back, then clenched his sword in front of his chest with both hands, and rushed out at the minotaur on the opposite side. The minotaur slashed horizontally, and with a cold snort, he rushed up at the moment when Guderian rushed out.
"When, when, when!" The three dense resonances of gold and iron almost joined into one voice. Then, one tall and one short, the two figures each retreated, leaving a distance of about three meters.
Guderian only felt that his arm was a little numb from the shock, this was on the basis of using blood control! This minotaur's pure strength is really strong. Guderian didn't dare to be careless, and the long sword swiped with a sword flower, and his hands were clenched upside down and rushed towards the minotaur again.
After the minotaur retreated again, his big bronze bell-like eyes were filled with an incredible light, and when he saw Guderian rushing again, he slashed and slashed again without thinking.
This time, there was no sound of gold and iron, only two swords and sword shadows that were wrong, and then the huge figure fell silently.
At this moment, the enemy, who had been watching Guderian and the Minotaur in battle, took a neat step and sang a low song. For a time, the minotaurs on the entire battlefield all took the same steps and sang the same songs. The entire battlefield was filled with an eerie atmosphere in the sound of footsteps hammered like countless giant drums at the same time, accompanied by ancient and somber songs.
"Withdraw! blow the horn of the withdrawal team!" "On the high platform behind the human warriors on the battlefield, Marshal Odin's face changed greatly after the sound of footsteps, and he immediately shouted at the guards around him!
The horn of the withdrawal of the team "Woo woo woo woo ......" sounded rapidly in the sound of footsteps and ancient and deep songs that resounded through the sky.
Guderian did not understand what was happening, but he immediately gave the order to the soldiers to withdraw as soon as the horn sounded.
However, it was late.
The minotaurs before seemed to swell, their eyes turned red, and after hearing the call for the human team to withdraw, they rushed towards the human warriors without any defense at all. For a moment, the battlefield once again fell into a roaring chaos.
After instructing his warriors to retreat, Guderian retreated step by step with his sword in hand. He didn't know what was going on. The minotaurs who rushed towards Guderian followed one after another, and Guderian did not have time to continue to observe the condition of the minotaurs, so he had to wield his sword to dispel these minotaurs.
These minotaurs, like the kobolds, continued to rush forward regardless of the doubts. Guderian feared that they would break up the retreating human formation, so he kept rushing left and right to kill the minotaurs who had missed his broken defenses.
"Boom!" a blinding light flashed in the sky, and then a sea of spells filled the sky. The minotaurs, whose eyes were red and their bodies were like a circle of swelling, became even more excited by the bright light of the spell and the sound of explosions. In just a moment, in the trench on this narrow battlefield, the retreating Dragon Guards and Eagle Guards fell into battle again......
