Chapter 091: Advance and Attrition

The roaring sound of horses' hooves mixed with shouts of killing rushed in the direction of the western sentry tower, and the charge of the centaur warriors could indeed make some of the weaker clans surrender in fright.

However, for the tribe, this is all a child, and the guard tower looked at the approaching centaur warrior with a calm face, and secretly clenched the weapon in his hand.

"Steady, steady, closer!"

The veterans kept whispering reminders, with anger in their eyes, waiting for the moment to explode.

"Ready! Aim, put! ”

Finally, the leading centaur warrior came within range of the watchtower, and the veteran in charge of the command immediately gave the order to attack.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air continued to be heard, and the archers directly launched a burst of fire, and the rain of arrows poured down towards the centaur warriors in front of them, instantly covering the ground.

Yes! Ahh

Boom! Boom!

The centaur warrior who rushed to the front was shot directly into a hedgehog, and fell down with a rolling belt, dragging deep marks forward on the ground.

The centaur warrior who followed him couldn't dodge, tripped over his compatriot who fell to the ground in front of him, and was trampled by the centaur warrior who rushed behind him before he could get up.

It directly caused the vanguard army of the centaur army to turn on their backs for a while, wailing constantly!

"Stop shooting!"

As the veteran gave the order, the archers stopped firing, but the arrows were still hanging on the strings, their hands clasped, and they seemed ready for a second round of attacks.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the Overseers want us to attack the tower, you shit, get moving."

The centaur warrior who was in charge of leading the charge was panicked when he saw the casualties all over the ground, and could only shout at the wounded centaur to make way for the attack.

The centaur race is a hierarchical race, and the centaur warriors at the top have the absolute right to speak, and they can understand the lives of the centaurs below in one sentence.

Therefore, when the centaur warrior in charge of leading the troops roared loudly, it still worked, and the wounded centaur crawled to make way for the army behind to charge.

However, these centaur warriors, who were anxious to continue the charge, were welcomed by the second wave of arrows from the horde defenders.

The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air sounded again, and the rain of arrows arrived as expected, but this time it was more concentrated, and the centaur vanguard force was almost completely annihilated......

"Lord Overseer, the vanguard of our first attack has suffered heavy losses, nearly a hundred centaur warriors have been wiped out!"

Overseer Kromza listened to the centaur warrior's report, looking very calm, as if he had expected such an outcome, and did not waver in the slightest.

"Go according to plan, they should be almost out of bows and arrows, and let the attacking troops attack."

The Centaur Overseers gave the order for a second wave of attack, and about three hundred armored Centaur warriors appeared in front of the troops, all with sharp eyes, clearly stronger than the vanguard.

Centaurs are generally unclothed, and even when fighting, they are used to being shirtless, which is their tradition of advocating wild strength.

The armored centaur warriors were apparently specially trained, and it seems that Overseer Kromza was prepared for the conquest of the continent, as evidenced by the regular combat troops.

"Lord Overseer, it seems that the armor of these assaulting troops is not fully capable of fully resisting the attack of bows and arrows!"

A centaur commander looked at the majestic armored centaur warrior, but looked worried.

"Don't be stupid, even human armor can't fully defend against bows and arrows, but these warriors have been trained to believe they are invulnerable, and that's enough!"

Kromza still didn't care, he had never intended to rely on armor to increase the combat effectiveness of his troops, believing that his own strength was the centaur tradition.

"It seems that the Horde's watchtower has received some reinforcements, but it has no effect, we will take them down soon, the main thing is that the other two groups of men and horses can intercept the Horde's reinforcements."

In the final analysis, Kromza personally led his troops to attack the western guard tower, also in order to hide people's eyes and ears, so that the troops who arranged for him to ambush the tribal reinforcements could act quietly.

His purpose was never to be a small watchtower, but to garrison the tribes of the entire Barrenlands.

"Attack!"

At the command of the Centaur Overseer, three hundred leather-armored centaur warriors charged towards the Horde's watchtower, their speed faster than the vanguard and vaguely lined up.

Rather than charging forward in the same dense manner as the vanguard, these armored centaur warriors kept two positions apart from each other and attacked in three triangular arrays.

"There's a bit of trouble now! The archers are still waiting to get into range and release their arrows! Inform the musketeers to prepare for a close-range shot. ”

The veteran in charge of the tower commanded the archers, and then gave a few words to the other troll warrior beside him, who quickly ran down the tower.

After a while, about twenty tribal soldiers with muskets suddenly poured out of the watchtower, and they stood in a row in the fortifications in front of the watchtower.

The archers still waited for the centaurs to come into range and began firing their arrows, but this time dealing much less damage to the enemy. The latter made a strong attack to an area less than fifty meters in front of the watchtower.

"Musketeers prepare, freely capture targets and shoot at them, and do not let them rush into position. Fire! ”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the troll warriors shouted to fire, the musketeers opened fire, and unlike the archers, they all took aim before they fought, and one by one the armored centaur warriors fell to the ground.

The same plot happened again, the centaur warriors in the back didn't have time to stop or change the direction of the charge, and were directly tripped and fell to the ground by the fallen comrades in front, and Hula fell a large area in an instant.

The musketeers reloaded and continued to fire, this time targeting the centaur warriors who were about to get up after tripping, and all of them were headshots and fell to the ground......

As the number of fallen centaur warriors continued to increase, the speed of the attacking centaur armored warriors was also greatly affected, and when they advanced to thirty meters in front of the watchtower, they were at a stalemate, and it was difficult to make any further progress.

"Lord Overseer, the assault force has been thwarted, and we have lost about eighty armored warriors."

Kromza remained unmoved, still watching as the attacking forces continued to attack.

The pressure on the horde's watchtower is actually increasing, the archers on the watchtower have run out of arrows, and the musketeers below are running out of ammunition.

The centaurs are fighting a war of attrition with the tribal defenders by virtue of their numerical superiority, but they are just using the lives of the centaurs to consume the tribe's battle reserves.

"Almost, blow the horn and launch a general attack!"

Overseer Kromza was silently contemplating, and suddenly gave the order for the centaur forces to launch a general attack......
