Chapter 254. Lure and intercept !!
These undead spirits who only move by instinct, where will they be the opponents of Chopin's elite chasseurs, one by one, they can only be passively shot, and they can't pursue them at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the harassment of these chasers, the originally relatively neat and orderly queue gradually became chaotic.
The skeletons that pursued them, under the harassment tactics of these chasers "flying kites", it didn't take long for them to turn into white bones all over the ground.
And under the continuous harassment of the chasseurs, the undead skeletons that have been attacking sporadically have finally made a big move.
At this time, the tens of thousands of skeletons that were still outside and ready to continue to enter the city of the undead turned their bodies in unison, surging towards the chasers who had been wandering outside.
Soon after, a queue of hundreds of skeletons rushed out of the city of the dead.
Among the hundreds of skeletons, the most striking one is undoubtedly the huge figure in the center and more than ten meters tall.
The skeleton was surprisingly large, its arms and legs thicker than a century-old tree, and the color of its upper and lower bones was not pure white, but faintly mixed with a faint black spot.
Behind the giant skeleton, there is a huge crystal similar to a six-pointed star, and on top of the crystal, dozens of sharp bone spurs nearly three meters long are inserted.
What's even more surprising is that this giant skeleton actually has a prismatic bone tail seven or eight meters long, which is densely carved with barbs that are several centimeters long.
On the shoulders of this giant skeleton, there was an undead skeleton sitting on each side, different from ordinary undead skeletons, these two undead skeletons actually held a magic staff in their hands, and the dark blue soul fire was obviously flashing with the meaning of thinking.
Behind the giant skeletons, there are hundreds of skeleton warriors who are about the same, but compared to the former, the color of the bones on their bodies is obviously much brighter, and the body size is also much larger, and the scimitar in their hands has a trace of black gas floating from time to time, which is considered a skeleton warrior 2. 0 version of it.
The chasers, who had been shooting constantly, were also a little frightened by the surging formation in front of them, and as soon as they reacted, they quickly retreated and ran towards the small hillside that Chopin had set for them before.
"Finally can't help it?"
Through the refraction effect of the telescope, Chopin could clearly see the tens of thousands of skeletons that attacked fiercely, and then he couldn't help but lick his lips, these undead skeletons that may be hateful in the eyes of others, in his eyes, are countless precious energy, and at this moment, these ownerless energies are waiting for him to collect.
As if given some instructions, a large number of skeleton warriors surged over like a tide, as a well-deserved cannon fodder in the world of the undead, the number of skeleton warriors is undoubtedly the largest, when the undead skeletons are stationed in the undead city, high-level skeletons such as skeleton knights and the like are naturally given priority to station, while low-level skeletons like skeleton warriors are undoubtedly left last.
It is also for this reason that the tens of thousands of troops that are advancing are all skeleton warriors, except for the thousands of skeleton archers scattered in the middle.
However, at this time, Chopin's gaze jumped over the approaching army of skeletons, and instead landed on the two undead skeletons on the shoulders of the giant skeleton behind him.
"Necromancer? There really exists. ”
Chopin's originally relaxed palm couldn't help but clench at this time, compared to the identities of these two people, he cared more about the wise light flashing in the eyes of these two people.
You must know that among the undead skeletons that Chopin encountered before, although there are some individuals with a certain amount of intelligence and emotions, but that is only the lowest level of emotional fluctuations, similar to the two skeleton mages in front of him who have natural emotional fluctuations, but it is the first time.
Chopin knew very well what the difference was between dealing with an army of skeletons that had no one to command and would only blindly rush forward, and an army of skeletons that were well commanded and properly advanced.
However, in the next collision between the two sides, the performance of those skeleton warriors was still chaotic, and they always rushed forward desperately, without the slightest appearance of being commanded.
Chopin was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had overestimated the wisdom of the two skeleton mages.
It's just that what Chopin didn't know was that these two skeleton mages had no way to command these undead skeletons at all.
At this time, these undead skeletons that launched a rapid offensive forward were just an order issued by a terrifying being in the depths of the undead city.
And with the rapid advance of the skeleton warriors, Chopin's soldiers were also nervously busy.
A runner filled the cannonball into the bronze barrel with ease, and then immediately lit the line of fire at Chopin's order.
For the skeleton warriors who were surging like a tide at this time, artillery was undoubtedly the fastest and most amazing weapon.
"Boom!"
"Boom Boom T
As the first blazing roar like thunder and lightning sounded, a succession of angry thunder continued to spread in this dark black land.
Just like the passionate music, it is just that the music played at this time has no low tide, no refill, and always only reverberates in the climax.
Driven by the explosive force of the gunpowder expansion, heavy solid iron balls flew out of the bronze barrel and smashed into the endless wave of white bones.
Every time a solid iron ball falls, a path of white bones will flow out, and the existence that stands in it, whether it is a skeleton warrior or a skeleton archer, under the huge power impact of the solid iron ball, their bodies are immediately ruthlessly torn apart, pierced, and then turned into countless scattered fragments.
A full twenty 6-pounder cavalry guns and four 24-pounder Guards infantry guns, one shot, is a full 24 solid iron balls, and each iron ball falling in the vast and turbulent sea of skeletons will take away at least a dozen skeleton warriors, that is to say, a round of artillery salvo, there will be more than 300 skeleton warriors directly blasted into bones, and the number of skeleton warriors injured as a result is definitely more.
Whether it was a skeleton warrior or a skeleton archer, in the face of the huge power released by the solid iron balls, there was no difference at all, and without exception, their bodies were all blasted to pieces.
Every time a solid iron ball falls, it will bring a huge wave of qi, and when dozens of solid iron balls fall together, what gathers together is a monstrous wave that engulfs the past.
The flickering dark black flames continued to spew out as the solid iron balls were launched, and each flame rose to mark the merciless slashing of the Death Scythe.
It's just that for these skeleton warriors and skeleton archers, who act entirely on instinct, they have no idea what fear is and what retreat is, and even though their companions fall one by one, they still rush forward without hesitation.
And with the fall of a skeleton warrior, a large number of soul fires also quickly fell, and then white light appeared out of nowhere, quickly absorbing the dark blue soul flames, and then directly into the holy cross that Chopin hung around his neck.
"Bang bang-"
These skeleton warriors had just passed through the rising smoke and fog, and before they had advanced far, the solid iron balls once again crossed the vast and dim sky, and then smashed down, only to fall among the tens of thousands of undead skeletons, but it was like a ripple in this white sea.
The movement speed of these skeleton warriors is not fast, and by the time they approach, the continuous artillery can have already fired several rounds, and the fallen skeleton warriors are nearly two thousand, but for the tens of thousands of skeleton warriors in front of them, it is nothing at all.
And as these skeleton warriors continued to approach, the eyes of a line infantry who had been waiting for a long time lit up, as the warriors of the French Empire, they did not want all the limelight to be stolen by those artillery.
"Shoot!"
Chopin pulled out his standard longsword, and then stared at the approaching skeleton warriors in front of him, until these skeleton warriors were only about two hundred meters away from them, and then swung the longsword in his hand.
Hearing Chopin's order, one of the line-up infantrymen immediately held a flintlock pistol to his chest and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang bang-"
More than 600 lead bullets converged into a torrent of metal, mercilessly strangling those skeleton warriors in the front row, compared to the solid iron balls, the lead bullets are far inferior to artillery in terms of the momentum generated when fired, and in terms of the power of the explosion.
However, the lethality caused by the more than 600 lead bullets scattered like raindrops was not much inferior to the solid iron balls that fell, or even ...... Better.
Cleansed by this torrent of steel, a large number of skeleton warriors kept falling like locusts.
However, the fall of a skeleton warrior did not make the following skeleton warriors hesitate in the slightest, and they stepped on the bone fragments of those companions in front of them and continued to march without hesitation.
After a volley, a line infantry began a tense reloading process, but looking at the advance speed of these skeleton warriors in front of them, these line infantry could only fire two more salvos at most, and they would have to fight these undead skeletons head-on.
But at this moment, the skeleton warriors advancing in the front row fell into the trap that Chopin had designed.
It's a crimped trap, but it's enough to deal with these skeleton warriors who don't have the slightest intelligence.
However, in the face of such the simplest trap, these skeleton warriors have no intention of dodging in the slightest.
One by one, the skeleton warriors continued to fall into the ravine, but the subsequent skeleton warriors did not have the slightest intention of making a detour, but continued to advance steadily.
Obviously, there was no possibility of stopping these skeleton warriors in front of him with such a trap, but Chopin didn't care much about it.
It's just that in the current situation, it is necessary to buy time for those line infantry in the rear.
In that case, recruit ...... Twenty spearmen. ”
As Chopin's mind moved, between the skeletal army and the line of infantry, there were immediately twenty more neat squares.
It only takes 150 energy to recruit a spearman, and even twenty spearmen are only 3,000 energy, which is nothing to Chopin, who is now wealthy.
"For the glory of God!"
As soon as the spearmen appeared, they raised their sharp spears and shouted the glory of God, and then engaged in a fierce battle with the skeleton warriors in front of them.
A cold spear formed a forest of steel, and then kept reaping the lives of those skeleton warriors.
And the original unstoppable momentum of the skeleton army was also contained.
However, looking at the situation in the field, Chopin's brows couldn't help frowning.
"Recruitment...... Three teams of chasers. ”
As Chopin's mind moved, hundreds of extremely swift chasseurs appeared on both sides of the skeleton army.
As a cross-generational arm of the continent, the Chasseurs, who could shoot on horseback, were undoubtedly popular throughout Europe because they were able to maintain high mobility while also using flintlock muskets to launch long-range attacks.
A volley of these chasseurs would render hundreds of skeleton warriors incapacitated, and if they tried to chase after them, they would immediately retreat and then constantly wander and harass.
At the same moment, the battlefield where the spearmen and the skeleton warriors clashed had undoubtedly become a real meat grinder, with bright red blood staining the earth and countless broken minced flesh falling like raindrops.
A large amount of crimson blood kept dripping, and one by one the spearmen rushed towards the skeleton warriors in front of them with anger and shouts, even though they had been severely injured several times, they still did not have the slightest intention of flinching, but fought desperately to the death.
It's just that no matter how brave these spearmen are, but the tigers can't stand the wolves in the pack, no matter how fierce they are to death, in the face of enemies who are several times their own, they are still skeleton warriors who are completely unaware of pain, fear, and retreat, and a large number of casualties are inevitable.
Unlike the skeletal warriors in front of them, who had no emotion at all, they were only flesh and blood, they would be tired and would have mood swings, but as one spearman continued to fall, none of the spearmen chose to escape.
At the same time as these spearmen were wearing a lot of loss, the roar of flintlock pistols in the hands of the line infantry also rang out again, followed by the fall of a large number of skeleton warriors and the fall of the dark blue soul fire in their empty eyes.
"Dada-Da-"
At the same moment, on the small slopes on both sides, Chopin's newly summoned Polish cavalry and guards grenadiers descended from the mountain like tigers and launched a brazen attack on these skeleton warriors.
