Chapter Twenty-Three: Opened the Peerless
The hot steam on the fortress completely dissipated.
Woo woo woo~
The horn of war sounded, and for this kind of high-slope warfare, the battle for the high ground formed by the fortress was the most important.
The Imperial army rushed up the slope in waves, ahead of them in a mixed formation of heavy shieldmen and spearmen, which was suitable for charging on any terrain.
At the other end of the fortress, the tribal army also began to charge, and this time their strength was also more than 200,000.
According to the normal situation, the same number of tribal armies is not the opponent of the imperial army, this time is different, the more than 200,000 troops of the tribal army are elite troops, not the miscellaneous army in the last battle.
Most of the front of the tribal army were orcs, but it was not an orc standing at the front, but a dwarf holding a one-meter-tall shield.
There were two rows of heavy shield dwarves, and behind them was a row of goblins, yes, the timid goblins.
The goblins were unarmed, and were strapped to their bodies with bottles of 'small green phosphorus incendiary bottles'.
The armies of both sides stepped on the slopes on both sides of the fortress without distinction between front and rear, and the momentum of hundreds of thousands of troops charging at the same time was amazing.
If you look at it from a high vantage point, you will see that the empire and the tribe are rushing towards each other like two monstrous waves.
Two 'waves' rushed across the slope and eventually collided at the top of the Black Earth Fortress.
The crunch of chirps joined in one piece, and then the screams and the cracking of the 'Green Phosphorus Fire Flask'.
The Imperial Army continued its usual strategy, with heavy shields in front and spearmen in the back, spears poking out of the gaps next to their shields and piercing the soldiers in the front row of the Tribal Army.
This tried-and-true tactic met Waterloo today, and the dwarven heavy shield soldiers in front of the tribal army raised their shields, and the one-meter-high shield was obviously funny, what if the two shields were up and down?
A two-meter-high shield wall appeared in front of the Imperial Army, and the spears in the hands of those spearmen pierced the shields, shocking their hands numb, and some of the spears and halberds even broke.
The Dwarven Heavy Shield Soldier successfully resisted the Imperial Army's shield spear charging formation, and the Goblin Thrower behind the Dwarven Heavy Shield Soldier hid behind the shield and began to bet the Imperial Army with a 'vial of green phosphorus incendiary bottle'.
Bang, bang......
The green phosphorus fire formed a line of fire, and the shield spearmen at the forefront of the Imperial army were killed and wounded.
The green phosphorus fire quickly dissipated, and the second wave of Imperial charges arrived, and these Imperial soldiers slashed at the double shield in front of them with a long-handled warhammer in hand.
Bang, bang, bang......
The battlefield was like striking iron, and a large number of dwarven heavy shield soldiers were shocked and vomited blood and retreated.
Sou~
A rain of elven arrows swept through the air, heading straight for the densest crowd of the tribal army.
Airplanes~
The crossbow arrow reamer meets the rain of arrows, this time it is the elite troops of the tribal army that are fighting with the imperial army, and a large number of 'city protection heavy wheel crossbows' are configured, although this thing is bulky + expensive, but the mountain dwarf king personally guards the black soil fortress, how can his army not configure this thing, and the trolls have solved the shortcomings of this thing that is difficult to carry, as for the high cost, the dwarves have no choice, so they can only be configured for the elite troops.
The crossbow arrow reamer twisted the rain of arrows into a cloud of debris, Carlos, who had already slashed dozens of enemies, saw this scene, and he was helpless, this time the opponent was different from the past, even with the same force, he could not guarantee a stable victory.
In the rear, Su Xiao was rushing forward with the army, surrounded by roaring imperial soldiers, which seriously affected his perception of the surrounding situation.
On the fortress, the two armies collided like a soldering iron and ice, the soldiers at the front of the battle line fell quickly, and the soldiers behind immediately made up for it, and the tragedy was beyond imagination.
Now it's up to who can knock the opponent back, and the side that is beaten back loses the Black Earth Fortress.
In about ten minutes, Su Xiao finally arrived at the solidified magma slope, not because his speed was not good, but because the fortress could not accommodate hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and he could only wait for a batch of deaths before the soldiers in the rear could come forward.
As soon as Su Xiao stepped on the magma slope, he immediately felt a warm feeling under his feet, and this thing had not cooled down yet.
Not only that, Su Xiao also felt a little slippery under his feet, and when he looked down, the solidified magma slope was red, and the red liquid flowed down, like a red shallow river, this red liquid was blood, the blood of the dead soldiers above the fortress.
The river of blood is what it looks like now, and Su Xiao stepped on the blood of his own soldiers and walked to the fortress.
The top of the fortress.
"For the Horde!"
An orc soldier covered in wounds jumped up and slashed at a human soldier with a scimitar in his hand.
The human soldier stepped forward with red eyes, the enemy's faith was strong, but his faith was just as strong, he fought for the empire, for his family, for the sake of future generations to thrive in the rich land.
Poof!
Blood splattered, and the weapons in the hands of the orc and human soldiers slashed at each other's necks, and both sides roared and slashed downward, blood soared, and a moment later, both of them fell to the pile of corpses at their feet.
At this moment, the obsidian ground on the black earth fortress was no longer visible, and the soldiers on both sides quickly piled up dead and wounded into a pile of corpses, and the two sides fought on the corpse pile.
The dead orc soldier's 'for the sake of the tribe' made the soldiers of the other tribes in the vicinity red-eyed, they only saw the enemy, and their only belief was to kill the other party.
There are no emotions on the battlefield that have nothing to do with killing the enemy, tearing each other apart, this is the only thought of the soldiers on both sides.
The shouts of killing rushed to the sky, the sun did not rise in the early morning, perhaps the sky could not bear to see this inhuman battle, dark clouds covered the sky, and bursts of muffled thunder sounded.
Su Xiao didn't rush to the top of the Black Earth Fortress, he was squeezed up by the soldiers in front and behind him, and he was caught up, and the crowd was too dense.
Walking briskly to the towering pile of corpses in front of him, Su Xiao finally saw the tribal soldiers.
A 500-point strength counterattack shield appeared around Su Xiao, and with the talent of a soul eater, he could consume mana on the battlefield to his heart's content, that is, to exert his full combat power.
Su Xiao was greeted by an orc soldier, who was significantly stronger than the orc soldiers in the previous battle, and was wearing metal armor and even a battle helmet.
Looking at this orc soldier's dress, Su Xiao noticed that these orcs were different from the orcs in the previous battle.
The orc soldier roared and rushed forward, in the eyes of ordinary people, this orc soldier was as fast as a ghost, but in Su Xiao's eyes, the other party was too slow.
The heavy sword covered with minced flesh in the hands of the orc soldier slashed at Su Xiao's neck, and Su Xiao did not dodge or dodge.
Bite!
The orc soldier's palms went numb, and his steps staggered back, and a flash of sword light occupied his sight.
"Wall......
The dragon slashed through the air and slashed at the orc's armor, the armor made of stainless steel was easily sliced open, and the blade broke through the muscles, bones, and internal organs without resistance.
Poof.
Dragon Slayer slashed through the armor behind the orc soldier from the inside, and a wisp of blood was brought up from the blade, and the orc soldier was slashed in two from his chest.
Knocked down, the orc soldier's broken body fell on top of the pile.
Su Xiao didn't look at the other party, and the sharpness of the dragon slashing flash was as high as 32 points to easily cut through the enemy's defense and body, but Su Xiao sensed a trace of resistance, don't underestimate this trace of resistance, assuming that he consumes 0.1 physical strength to kill ordinary orcs, then killing this kind of orcs will consume about 0.2~0.3 physical strength.
Of course, this value is only hypothetical, and Su Xiao came to the conclusion that this battle is not at the same level as the last war.
Su Xiao stepped on the pile of corpses under his feet and rushed straight towards the tribe, ordinary soldiers were sending them to death, while Su Xiao was able to kill more enemies.
Loop breaking.
Zheng!
The circular sword spread out, and a large part of the tribal army was cut in two and fell to the ground, as for Su Xiao, he had already rushed into the denser tribal army.
The sword is vertical and horizontal, the severed limbs are flying horizontally, and when the mana value is sufficient, Su Xiao is as brave as opening a peerless. None of the tribal armies can block his sword, he will sense the strength of the enemy's breath, and if the breath is strong, he will turn on the green steel shadow at the moment of the sword, and close it immediately after killing the enemy.
A few minutes later, Su Xiao had already killed on the slope opposite the Black Earth Fortress, surrounded by tribal troops, with the help of the passage he killed, dozens of imperial troops killed with him on the slope opposite the Black Earth Fortress, but after just twenty seconds, those imperial troops were slashed and killed by the overwhelming tribal army around them.
Su Xiao's counterattack shield around him didn't know how many knives he had received, and it shattered with a click, and the moment the counterattack shield shattered, a new counterattack shield appeared, and on the battlefield, the last thing he lacked was mana.
