Chapter 55: The Second Offensive and Defensive Battle (Part II)
Ivo's tactics were undoubtedly quite successful, and under the constant suppression of the elven archers, the pressure on Jian Chen's side suddenly increased greatly.
Two shields alone could not completely cover all the space, and the elves' arrows occasionally shot into the crowd behind the sandbags from tricky angles, causing some casualties among the guards.
"Shield! Forge a shield array! Chen Jian was greatly annoyed, yelling at the soldiers to strengthen their defenses, the opponent's strong combat power and the response to the machine was really beyond his expectations, but he didn't expect that with the help of the terrain still could not fully gain the upper hand, although this situation was in his expectation, but how long has it been since the war started?
Several soldiers rushed to the position with large thick wooden shields held high, and the dense shields that were stacked like a huge turtle shell finally completely blocked the firing angle of the elves.
But the arrows still kept hitting the wooden shield, making a sound of snatching, so that everyone did not dare to move.
Chen Jian's laser gun now only exposed a muzzle outside, and he couldn't aim at all, so he could only hide behind the shield and keep shooting blindly, and the index finger of his right hand holding the trigger kept repeating the same action.
Due to the lack of power of the light crossbows, the crossbowmen had long since stopped shooting, and by this time they had all retreated to the rear, replaced with sledgehammers, and prepared for hand-to-hand combat in case of emergency.
Luckily, this advanced weapon left over from the Age of Wonders had a relatively fast rate of fire, and the dwarves who charged were protected by the Aegis magic on their bodies would not be able to take a few steps before they were hit by the red beams that scurried around in the passage and fell to the ground.
Several dwarves desperately flew out of their battle axes before they died, and succeeded in smashing two shields, but new ones were quickly added to fill the gap.
Two or three arrows took advantage of this gap to fly into the crowd behind the fortifications, causing a few more muffled snorts to sound around Jian Chen.
Chen Jian found that he was really lucky, if he hadn't gotten this laser gun left by Terrence Rockwin first, it would have been impossible to hold this passage today.
While sighing, Jian Chen noticed that the elves' attacks slowly stopped.
The arrows on the shield became fewer and fewer, and the last palpitating sound of snatching finally died away, and silence returned to the passage.
All that remains is the slight snort of the laser gun as it fires.
Under Chen Jian's instructions, a soldier carefully removed the shield in his hand through a small gap, observed for a while, and finally determined that the enemy would not continue to attack.
The reason is very simple, this passage is too narrow, whether it is width or height, it is so unsuitable for battlefield tearing.
Moreover, this passage is still a passage with an inclined angle, the elves are at the high end of the spiral staircase, and the end that Chen Jian is defending is slightly lower.
At this time, dozens of dwarven warriors had fallen in the passage, and most of the dwarven corpses were concentrated in the middle of the passage, and the overlapping corpses had reached a height that made the elven archers cry out in vain.
Because of the height of this abominable corpse pile, as well as the low terrain and sandbag fortifications occupied by Jian Chen, the elves could not get an effective shooting angle at all.
At the same time, due to the resistance of the corpses, the dwarves simply could not launch a charge with sufficient speed.
Ivo sighed, regretting that the soldiers stopped attacking.
As long as this passage is a little bigger, you may be able to attack it smoothly.
What a failure! Ivo shook his head.
Even if it was necessary to clear the corpses left in the passage and pave the way for the next attack, it would be an extremely difficult task at the moment, and the magicians on the other side would not just watch their side clean up the passage and remain indifferent.
If it weren't for the Elf King's order, if it weren't for the fact that there might still be many unknown secrets and treasures hidden in this secret room, Ivo really wanted the earth elf magician to bury this lord alive with a earth-shaking magic.
"Two masters, I wonder if there is any way to clean up the passage? So that the soldiers can attack smoothly? Or is there any magic that can blast through the opponent's defenses in one fell swoop? ”
The female elf mage Charita frowned and said: "Originally, this is not a difficult matter, whether it is 'Boulder Bombardment', 'Flower of Death' or 'Meteor Rain' in the earth magic, these magic can easily completely destroy the opponent's defense facilities, but now it is indoors, or underground, it is really ...... to use such powerful magic."
The female elf mage didn't say anything, but Ivo understood what it meant, and if such powerful magic was really used, the tunnel would have to collapse.
At that time, not only the enemy, but also everyone on my side will be buried underground.
"Master Thorzedon?" Ivo turned his eyes to the other elven mage.
Thorzedon hesitated for a moment and spoke: "There is a magic called 'Acid Bullet Flying' in the water magic, this single magic is very powerful, and it uses venom to corrode enemies or objects to create damage, it is good to use it in the current situation, as long as I use this magic a few more times, I should be able to remove the corpses of those dwarven warriors and the opponent's defenses." But the strange magic of the other party's magician is too powerful, not only powerful but also extremely fast, if I want to go out and fight with him, I am not sure. ”
After saying that, Sozeton's face was a little sneering, the incredible casting speed of the other party's magician had greatly hit the self-confidence of the elven mage, saying that he was not sure that he was putting gold on his face, and if he really stood up to fight, Sozeton knew that he might not even be able to release a magic before the other party killed him.
Unless, like those elven archers, he hides around the corner and chants a spell, then suddenly rushes out and casts it, and then flees back.
But to do so would be to lose the dignity of a noble magician, and it is impossible for Thorzedon to do so.
Seeing that the two magicians looked helpless, Ivo sighed helplessly.
Now it seems that he can only think of another way, but he didn't expect that the other party used the terrain to not only offset his own military advantage, but also make the two magicians completely useless.
Ivo felt that this battle could only be described in two words - depressed.
Chen Jian shook off his right hand, which was sore and numb because he had been maintaining a shooting posture, and gritted his teeth to look at the mess in front of him.
The indiscriminate shooting just now consumed one-third of the laser gun's energy, if this kind of battle came a few more times, with the charging speed of the laser gun in such dim light, it wouldn't be long before Chen Jian would face a bad situation without a gun available.
With the light crossbows and spear hammers, and the poorly trained guards recruits, he didn't think his side would be able to hold off the brave dwarven warriors who were wrapped in sturdy steel armor for long.
But now we can only take one step at a time.
