''Chapter 128: The Great War with Amur (Middle)''
The corpse of the giant eagle was mercilessly trampled by the troops that rushed up, the battle in the air was tilted in our favor, and the two armies on the ground began to engage head-on. The Legion hoplites www.biquge.info, who had just broken through from the long-range firepower, collided with thousands of skeleton soldiers, and unlike what I imagined, when the Legion's hoplites encountered the skeleton army, they did not rely on their strength advantage to kill them directly, but raised their shields and made a defensive posture to keep the skeleton army out.
''Not good. Philip stood beside me and suddenly frowned. I've been through so many battles, and with Philip's eyes, I can guess what is going to happen, and the skeletons at the front of us are finished.
''Boom!'' ‘’
Dozens of exploding spears flew from behind the Legion's heavy infantry and landed into a sea of skeletons that had gathered into a huge explosion. And behind the shields raised aloft, six apprentice magicians dressed in uniform red robes, led by two full-fledged magicians, stepped out and cast their magic behind the heavy infantry. Fireballs, flames, and the fire vortex magic unleashed by the two full-fledged magicians combined to create a small elemental tide of fire magic. This magical tide spread for nearly a hundred meters, and the troops in front of both sides were all hit by the red hot mist, and even the heavily armored legion heavy infantry also took two steps back in this tide.
The power of this flame tide is not enough, even if an ordinary person stands here without a strand of body, he will only be burned a few more cuts on his skin. But this tide can be considered fatal for a low-level skeleton soldier!
In the terrifying explosion and the fire elemental tide that lasted for more than a minute, skeleton soldiers below level 4 could not survive, and when the main force of our skeleton troops was usually level 3 skeletons, this loss would be very terrifying. By the time the red craze began to subside, the battlefield was filled with countless broken bones and countless scarred skeleton soldiers. With a single attack, we had more than half the thousands of skeleton strikers we charged, leaving a vacuum between us and the Legion strikers, and the goblins and a handful of barbarians mixed with the skeleton army were exposed.
In our previous battles, charging with a large number of skeletons mixed with goblins and barbarians has always been a very effective tactic. Covered by a large number of skeletons, the diminutive goblins can fish in troubled waters, sneak up on enemy soldiers who are bent on taking on skeletons, and quickly learn about them with their blades. Goblin spearmen can also deliver steady output behind skeletons, making up for the range disadvantage of their spears. And those who are powerful barbarians can open gaps when skeleton troops are blocked, increasing the overall firepower output. In the previous battle, the Legion's heavy troops had to face a large number of goblins stabbing in the shadows when blocking the skeletons, which caught them off guard with an unfamiliar style of play, so they lost their frontal attack. However, there are also problems with this style of play, such as in the current situation, once the skeleton troops lose their size advantage, the goblins and a small number of barbarians without cover will become the target of the opposite side, and these troops are not strong enough to attack.
Therefore, our first attack can be said to have failed, and the exposed goblins were completely unable to attack under the pressure of the bows and arrows of thousands of archers on the other side, and the surviving skeletons and other forward troops could only retreat to the large army, and gather with the troops behind to launch a new attack. But this also caused the advance of the corps troops, and if we retreated a few dozen more meters, then our cannon positions would be exposed to the enemy's long-range heavy fire.
''Holy!'' It's infuriating! Fang Zi roared out directly, threw the telescope on the ground, and then directly took out the large stack of spell cards, and before I could persuade him, he never snatched the holy water bottle in his hand and poured it down frantically. Because of the casualties on both sides on the battlefield, the holy water of the holy water bottle continued to gush out of the bottle, and these hundred or so cards continued to emit light, and one card after another flew into the sky, turning into one transparent magic array after another, and the space of the entire airspace fluctuated.
''Defense! Defend all! The generals of the legion were powerful, and they immediately felt the spatial fluctuations in the sky, and the fluctuation area was too large to be noticed. The generals of the legion still have a lot of information about their current enemy, they have collected a lot of information about these troops, and they also have a lot of information about this special air magic array or spatial fluctuations, it can be confirmed that this kind of magic circle is generally accompanied by a variety of powerful spells and troops, although I don't know how they do it, but in short, it will not be a good thing.
The legionary infantry, which had been advancing forward, immediately stopped and raised their shields, and the cavalry on both flanks also dispersed, preparing to defend against the possible attack that might follow.
The Legion's idea was right, and it was good, but when a rain of arrows did hit, it didn't do much.
''Overwhelming! Wang Shengzhe once used this word to describe his army of the undead on the World Channel, describing the tens of thousands of undead who flooded one city after another like a tide. We don't have that many undead troops, but Fang Zi still used more than a hundred thousand arrows to interpret the actual meaning of the word.
A hundred thousand arrows were fired at once, and that was ten thousand sharp arrows. When more than 10,000 sharp arrows came from high in the sky and concentrated their shots into an area of less than 1,000 square meters, even the heavy infantry of the legion would feel terrified.
Fang Zi did not use 10,000 arrows on a large scale, but concentrated these cards in two areas, the archer unit of the legion and some heavy weapons in the rear. Even the shields of the heavy infantry could be pierced by bows and arrows that dealt more than 100 damage with a single shot under the rain of arrows, and the troops lacking armor could not resist. The bows and arrows were so dense that many archers had three or four arrows stuck in their bodies. The magician relied on the props to raise the magic barrier, but even so, the barrier continued to ripple, and the subsequent large fireball directly blasted through the entire barrier, and then a smaller fireball exploded again next to the center of the explosion. 4 apprentice magicians and a full-fledged magician, as well as a large number of escort troops, were directly burned by the flames, and the rest of the magicians were also seriously injured and incapacitated.
Fang Zi's attack not only vented his anger, but also dealt a heavy blow to the main output of the legion, the legion seemed to be not badly damaged, but in terms of firepower suppression ability, it had been weakened by half.
The rain of arrows continued to tilt over the legion troops with Fang Zi's anger, and our ground forces successfully withdrew and gathered the attacking troops again. This time our barbarian brigade and militia phalanx came to the front of the ranks, and the giants also walked with heavy steps, and the sharp weapons scattered on the battlefield and the stray arrows fired by the troops on both wings of the Legion did not threaten them at all, and they, together with the other rare troops, attacked the troops of the Legion.
In the sky, Fang Zi deliberately flowed out a few 10,000 arrows that were of great use, and the sudden attack of bows and arrows severely damaged many legion flying demonic beasts in the form of squads, and our undead could also be dispersed to carry out a final cleanup on them. The superiority in the air had been achieved, and the two heavily armored undead had begun to shift their targets to the ground.
After the two heavily armored undead knocked out the last flying demonic beast nearby, they also began to speed up their wings and turn their bodies downward.
''Dive, bomb!'' The speed of the two heavily armored undead was getting faster and faster, and the generals of the legion also noticed the two heavily armored men coming from above. They knew that the other side was here to support the ground forces, so their first order was to order the ranged troops to attack the two "big iron blocks" that flew over.
Before they could recover from Fang Zi's crazy fire suppression, the archers of the legion and the rest of the anti-aircraft troops hurriedly began to attack the two iron-clad undead, but neither bows and arrows nor magic attacks could cause significant damage to the heavily armored undead. For the legion, which has been in a difficult situation for ten years, they really have nothing to do with this kind of iron-clad heavy air force.
The heavy armor undead flew lower and lower, and even the generals of the legion were ready to release their sword qi, as long as the heavy armor undead flew within twenty meters, the battle master of the army, Lot, who led the army, was confident that he could break through the opponent's heavy armor with all his strength.
But the heavily armored undead were very experienced, and when they swooped twenty-five meters above the ground, they immediately slowed down, threw a black water ball the size of a football in their hands, and then immediately took to the air, doing as beautifully as the bombers of their hometown.
The highly corrosive black water fell into the crowd and hit the two mid-level warrior captains with shields in their hands. Black water splattered and landed on the bodies of nearby soldiers, and the screams were heard for a while. The corrosive black water secreted by the heavy armor undead is ten times more corrosive than sulfuric acid after exploding, and the corrosion rate is extremely fast, and ordinary undead do not want to touch it. Even the legionnaires wore sturdy iron armor, which would have been corroded in a matter of seconds, followed by their muscles and internal organs, and even the bodies of high-ranking warriors would be corroded by the liquid.
The heavily armored undead don't attack just once, as long as they find the right opportunity, they will attack again and again, constantly harassing the legionnaires on the ground. The situation in the air has been settled, more and more undead have joined the ground attack, and the legion has truly understood what an air ground attack is.
The attack of the corps was suppressed by us, and now our troops are preparing for a second attack. The huge legions had been deployed, the muzzles of the cannons had turned red, and the royal giants had begun to reload their own ammunition.
