Chapter Ninety-Three: Many Obstacles
"Elf dog thief!"
A group of troll warriors followed the trail of the rain of arrows to spot the dexterous figure hidden in the woods on the hillside in the distance, and immediately charged at them.
The elven archers abandoned their plan to fight the tigers and leopards riding tin cans, and instead rained down a barrage of birch bows and arrows at the trolls' line, and these warriors who fed on their muscles and blood held wooden shields or were simply defenseless, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred people were knocked over by sharp arrows with barbs and howled on the ground.
"Charge, go up and melee with those elves!" Gusuo brandished his battle axe and roared, "You idiots, do you want to be shot as a hedgehog here?!" Don't look back! ”
"Woo-hoo!" The troll warriors let out a strange series of battle cries, and the wrestlers who hid and held heavy wooden shields rushed towards the elves.
Their enemy, about 200 elves, occupies a halfway point of the mountain, and is shooting a rain of arrows. Although their numbers are not very large, there may be elven ambushes in the dense forests on both sides, waiting for the trolls to rush forward and attack.
The Ranger Commander Iconser put three feathered arrows on the bowstring at once, lowering the angle of fire. The trolls had closed the distance to half the distance, and now there was no need to shoot, and Iconse and his men could use more efficient direct fire to eliminate the enemy.
"Shoot fast! Shoot three times in a row! The elven commander shouted, and his men followed his rhythm, and only 200 men unleashed an obscuring attack.
The troll with the wooden shield seemed to have crashed into a wall, and his compatriots behind him collapsed like vegetables under the hailstone.
Relying on the sacrifice of the warriors in the front row and the huge numerical advantage, the trolls in the back rows still rushed to the distance where they could fight in close combat.
"The front team is in close combat, and the rear team is free to shoot." Iconser gave a brief command, and at the same time put away his bow and arrows, and pulled out the two sharp blades at his waist and joined them together, and the two exquisite weapons twisted together to form a unique elven warblade.
This is the Eros's Blade, which is like two long knives twisted together from a crescent, and is extremely beautiful and powerful. In the hands of experienced elven warriors, this beautiful weapon can slash a wolf with a single blow.
"Charge! For the glory of Eros! The Elven Commander rushed into the crowd of trolls, and immediately transformed into a humanoid harvester, flying with its blades, splattering and shattering flesh in all directions.
Two troll warriors stabbed spears at him, one left and one right. Iconser swirled his blade in a dance, his broken spear tip and skull flying into the air mixed with blood. Before the troll warrior behind could react, the blade had already split him in half from top to bottom like a bolt of lightning.
A mere hundred or so elven rangers wielded terrifying weapons like a whirlwind, which was really invincible, and the troll warriors were slashed one after another, causing almost no casualties to the elves.
The remaining half of the elves did not rush up to fight, but calmly continued to project death with bows and arrows. Several powerful troll warriors fended off the blade's attack, only to be shot into a sieve by a sudden burst of arrows.
"Surround them!" Khajin watched as his clan was slaughtered by a small group of elves, and hurriedly summoned more warriors to surround him from both sides.
Before the two wings could outflank him, Kakin's right flank suddenly collapsed. Another 100 Elven Ranger swooped in from the woods, leaping from the treetops and shooting arrows. The unprepared troll warriors were shot to death under the trees, and they did not see the shadow of the enemy before they died.
Khakin's left flank line burst into flames, and several elves in ornate robes appeared in front of them, guarded by archers, and then fireballs shot towards them.
"Boom!"
The Troll Samurai had a natural fear of magic and were instantly defeated, with thousands of Troll Samurai fleeing to the rear in less than a quarter of an hour after they attacked.
"Hmph, the horde's pig's head." The Ranger Warlord Iconser slain the last foe, and there was no longer a single troll standing at his side. The remaining enemies threw away their armor and fled towards their main forces.
"Keep up and overwhelm them with a rain of arrows," the Elven Ranger redrew his longbow, "since they don't dare come, we'll shoot them in the head until we get them out of this forbidden place!" ”
"Cavalry!" A sudden shout came from the left flank of the battlefield, and a band of black-armored cavalry rushed towards them from the edge of the woods, scattering a small group of elven warriors on the left flank like a whirlwind.
Iconse hurried an arrow, the iron piercing arrow breaking through a knight's shield and plunging into his shoulder armor. But the black tin can continued to charge as if it were indifferent.
"Retreat." The elven commander spat out the command fiercely and took refuge in the cover of the trees with his companions.
……
"It's breathtaking!" Cao Cao watched as a very small number of elves defeated the trolls' attack, and even wanted to oppress the trolls' own team for a while, "The armored cavalry should pay attention to the charging distance, as long as they disperse them, they must not go deep into the dense forest." ”
"Your Majesty, under the harassment of these ambushes, our marching speed will be seriously disturbed," Xiahou Yuan watched as the armored cavalry attacked, "Let the last general go." ”
Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand: "It's not for nothing that those cursed bug-like creatures can be used to guard the legacy of the Hundred Eyes God. Corrosion and infection make them strong, durable, painless war machines, and we have no chance of winning in face-to-face battles without the blood of our cavalry to restrain their declining psionic cores.
"Then there's the Elven Ranger, which is very close to the ruins of Zultovil, and the Elven mission should be to stop us in our tracks. In this strange jungle, once the cavalry is lost too much, we will lose the means to resist when we face the insects again.
"Our life and death are on the line, and it is unknown what kind of strong enemy lurks ahead."
The faces of all the generals showed a look of convincing and solemnity.
"Withdraw the cavalry. Tell the trolls to cut down trees on both sides of the road to make shields, and clear a 15-step barrier to get out. King Wei watched as his heavy cavalry drove the elven rangers into the jungle.
"Your Majesty, such distance and a wooden shield are not enough to defend against the elves' bows and arrows." Cao Ren took a birch bow and arrow sent by his subordinates and said, "They can still do terrible damage at a distance of 200 paces. ”
"This king didn't say that he could rely on this to ensure safety," King Wei turned his horse's head and tilted his head to look at his subordinates.
"Set fires and burn forests."
……
The cavalry brought in several elven captives, and while their appearance was not as exaggerated as the legend suggests, they were indeed a cut above the average for humans and trolls.
One of the most beautiful was a female elf who served as the captain of the ranger, and she was knocked unconscious on the spot by the back of the saber while covering the retreat of her comrades on the left flank.
The tiger and leopard riders even captured a male elven mage. He had long silver-white hair, and his countenance was not inferior to that of a female elf, and his ornate robes were adorned with striking coats of arms in gold and precious stones. As the elven ranger retreated into the forest, the noble mage who was not in a hurry saw that the tiger and leopard rider had rushed in front of him, and simply surrendered with a few mages who could not retreat.
"Untie them," the Wei Dynasty subordinates nodded, "and the other elven prisoners of war should also be treated in a way that matches their status." ”
"Honorable King, I am the High Mage Thrandis, the son of the Fire Bearer Semir, and my family will pay a considerable ransom for me." The elven mage saw that the human beings had untied him, brought him a seat, and even brought him a cup of hot tea, and his mood relaxed.
"In front of you is Cao Cao, the son of Cao Song, the king of Wei in the Tang Dynasty, the Voyeur, the bearer of the Garan Diamond, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Expeditionary Force," Xu Chu replied, "What is your name, the female elf over there?" ”
"Luminara, Ranger Commando Leader, daughter of a nobody," the female elf said with beautiful blonde hair, the saber on her shoulder that she had just received was still aching, and the corners of her mouth twitched as she looked at the majestic king, "King of the Humans, why are you invading this cursed and corroded land?" ”
