Chapter 733: Bad News Comes After Bad News
Heavy bed crossbows and pedal crossbows like fire oil can be useful for positional warfare, but if one breaks through the improvised rudimentary defenses in such encounters, the bulkiness of these weapons becomes a burden. One?? Reading???? To ยท
The crossbowmen on the crossbows tread frantically as if they were crazy, but no matter how fast they fired, it was difficult to hit the undead warriors who were crawling at a 50-degree angle between the ground and the cliff. And although the superb crossbowmen can hit these undead warriors, it is a pity that although they use silver arrows, the damage caused to them after hitting these undead warriors is only a wound, and there is no way to really kill these guys without shooting them in the head.
Harald was also unsheathed at this time, and he held the sword in his hand high and shouted, "Don't retreat!" Go up! We now have the antidote! Don't be afraid of them! โ
Harald shouted as he commanded his guards to shoot several of the fleeing warriors on the spot. It's all like this, and escaping can only make this team facing the undead for the first time even more unsympathetic.
Apparently Harald's movements played a more useful role than the previous shouts, and the otherwise riotous ranks were much less wobbly after several fleeing fighters were mercilessly shot. At least for now, there is no fear of desertion before the battle.
Soon, the undead warriors approached the Rift Lord's front army and reached the flank of the heavily armed position, entering their dead end. Under Harald's command, the crossbowmen retreated, and the shield warriors who were in the position to protect them pushed the undead warriors in front of them......
Wei Xu, who was fighting a war or something, actually refused from the bottom of his heart, after all, the cost of grain and grass weapons in this fight was definitely a huge amount. I want to read books, but fortunately, this time the war is burning in someone else's territory, so the Half Moon Collar has not been affected much. But even so, the warehouse that had just been filled was almost half empty. In fact, the main cost is still in the supply of arrows.
Hand-to-hand combat with these undead warriors of Ephris is not at a disadvantage to ordinary Nord warriors. The information that has now spread alone has had a big impact on the morale of these fighters. Before the fight started, he was scared by two points. This momentum is not as good as a person, and after being close, there is basically the result of being chased and beaten. Bed crossbows and pedal crossbows can be very useful when used in positional battles or storms, but when it comes to encounters, their effect is immediately halved. Whether it's on the plains or in the canyons, there's always a way to dodge the sights of these things and get back to the closer. As soon as the undead warriors approached, the average Nord warrior faced these organized teams that were completely immortal unless their heads were cut off. There are some who are cowardly, and even when the war starts, they will break and flee.
Therefore, whether it was the previous defensive battle, or when Ufrik and Harald took the initiative to attack, the most requested materials were arrows, and they all had the idea of using these heavy weapons to consume the enemy from a distance. Although they pay a certain amount of ore, it still takes a certain amount of time for a crossbow arrow to go from ore to casting. During this time, Wei Xu had a feeling that he couldn't make ends meet. In desperation, Wei Xu had no choice but to buy out several large blacksmith workshops in the territory to help make crossbow arrows.
"Ah...... These guys really cut corners......" Looking at the new batch of crossbow arrows, Wei Xu let out a long sigh. Then he threw the crossbow arrow that he had just taken out and was still a little crooked into the pile of arrows.
"Boss...... This should still work...... After all, we are dealing with people this time, not dragons......" Robben next to him folded one of them hard, and said to Wei Xu.
Hearing Robben's words, Wei Xu smiled helplessly: "I just know that these guys will come like this, if they really want to use it against the dragon, I will never use these things made in the folk blacksmith workshop if I run out of food myself......
"That'...... Boss, this batch of ...... now" Robben looked at Wei Xu with a little hesitation.
"Send it to Brother Baggrove...... Do you want to put it here to press the warehouse? Wei Xu waved his hand helplessly. As he spoke, he turned away, obviously not wanting to see the arrows again.
"Oooh...... Okay......" After Luo Ben answered, he waved his hand to the logistics soldiers on the side, and directly signaled them to carry these boxes of things away. Then chased Wei Xu to the outside of the warehouse.
He had just left the warehouse, and as soon as Robben looked up, he saw Wei Xutie standing at the door with a blushing face, holding the news he had just received from the scout.
"What's wrong, boss?" Robben looked at Wei Xu's face and asked subconsciously.
"Harald was ambushed in the natural passage, five thousand people came back a thousand alive, and all the supplies were lost...... Wei Xu almost gritted his teeth and said this......
In the Dragon Hall, the atmosphere was a little silent, and everyone's eyes were on the embarrassed Harald.
Finally, Baghlouf hesitated for a long time and then spoke: "Forget it, this is also a mistake in our previous strategy, ignoring that those guys can resist the cold and ambush you under the snow." After all, the cliffs on both sides of that place are very high, and there are snow footprints on the ground...... It stands to reason that it is almost impossible to ambush you......"
If Harald had been his subordinate, he might have been beheaded by now to make an example. But now the question is that this person in front of him is the reserve lord of the Rift, and he wants Baghlouf to deal with a lord according to military law now? How can it be!
"The question now is how to support Ufrik! This time back and forth, it is estimated that Ufrik's side has already exchanged hands with Eposis's people......" Tulius's voice was very flat, but Wei Xu could hear a hidden anxiety from this blandness.
"Either I'll send someone to fetch Ufrik and see how much he can hold this time." After hesitating for a moment, Wei Xu finally spoke. Looking at Harald's appearance, it is estimated that he will not want to send troops again for a while, after all, the loss of 4,000 men this time is also a pain in the bones for him. Although this number can be added quickly, it is a pity that the estimate that is added in this case is only likely to perform worse.
"That's all it can be...... We can't give up on Ufrik's side, as long as we can bring him back, we'll earn it. Tulius raised his eyes to look at Wei Xu, and then carefully examined the map in front of him.
As soon as Tulius agreed, Robben ran in from the door of the council chamber in a hurry. Robben has been with Wei Xu for so long, this is the first time he has been so flustered.
"Boss! Oh no! The men of Igmund have attacked our Broken Rock Canyon Pass, driven straight in, and have now reached the Northwest Fortress! โ
Robben's news had just stunned everyone, and behind him was another herald in a tattered Rift uniform stumbling in: "Lord Harald! Lord Leila asks you to go back now! Tens of thousands of snow elves have sprung up out of thin air in our territory, and they have now taken over a large area of land around the town of Heartwood next to Lake Henrych! Siege of Blacklight Fortress! โ
