330, Xuanyuan's first battle

Just as the crossing crowd rearranged the line, the battle situation ahead took a new turn.

More than half of the motley demon hordes that are the vanguard of the demon army have been killed, but most of the demons killed are low-level goblins and Torro. Now that the lower demons in the battlefield have almost been killed and wounded, the Templar forces have been engaged with the Templar forces have become Cahemodo, Setus, and other medium demons, although the individual strength of the medium demons is still not as good as the individual soldiers of the Templar troops, but with the absolute superiority in numbers, the Templar's defense line is still shrinking at a faster rate.

At the same time, at the rear of the motley demon army, a demon with more than a thousand numbers, with argali's horns on his head, a tall and whole body brownish red, wearing linen shorts and holding a long whip in his hand, began to swim in the sea of blood in his own corpse mountain, and at the same time, he also waved the whip in the void with his hand from time to time. And every time they swung their whips, the demon corpses on the ground began to change. I saw that the corpses of those demons moved autonomously and gathered together, and then began to merge with each other until they became a large lump of flesh and blood, and then the lump of flesh began to deform, and with the manifestation of the image, it finally became a strange-looking monster that walked upright, was two meters tall, had horns on its head, had features like a wolf, legs like horseshoe, and tail like a whip. These monsters don't seem to have sentient minds, and only move when driven by whip-wielding demons. Those whip-wielding demons continued to use the demon corpses everywhere to transform into monsters for them to drive, and soon gathered an army of monsters in the tens of thousands.

And when this monster force formed a scale, the motley demons who rushed to the front also forced the Templar troops back and entered the ranged attack range of the human alliance.

The first to attack were the Ballied forces armed with ballistas. The crossbow bolts fired are the thickness of an adult's arm and nearly one and a half meters in length – no longer 'crossbow arrows', but 'ballistas'. The ultimate range of such a crossbow is about 300 meters, but even if the power is still unsatisfactory at this distance, the accuracy is completely unguaranteed. However, at this time, at a position of only more than 150 meters away from the enemy, the ballista can aim relatively accurately, and the lethality of the crossbow guns fired is also very considerable, often a crossbow gun can penetrate the bodies of more than a dozen demons after shooting, and many demons are skewered into flesh by the crossbow and stuck to the ground. Unless the demon pierced by the crossbow gun is tenacious to the level of perversion, even if it is not killed on the spot, it can be consumed alive by bleeding under serious injuries.

However, among the defenders of the first line of defense of the coalition forces, there were not many troops equipped with such ballistas. On the main battlefield of the War of the Demons, the troops used by the various coalitions to defend the first line of defense are generally not the elite main army of their own country, but the private troops of the lords and nobles in each country. Mechanical weapons such as ballistas, which can only be used in the offensive and defensive battles of cities, are strictly controlled military supplies by various countries, and they will not be sold to those lords and nobles in the country. The ballistae that are now set up on the battlefield and are controlled by the lord's troops are actually 'rented' from the regular legions of their respective countries by their own means, and they will be returned after the end of the Demon War. As for the question of what to do if the borrowed weapon is lost or damaged - if it is really lost or damaged, the deposit paid to the borrower in advance will be paid as compensation. And if you want to use the excuse of loss and damage to give away the equipment...... As long as you can hide what you know so that no one can find out, you are lucky to be blind, and if you can't be fooled, then admit that you are unlucky - of course, this is a later story.

The trebuchets in the coalition defense line also began to exert force, and the sergeants with big shoulders and round waists put stone bullets the size of grinding discs into the bucket of the trebuchet in groups of three or four, and the bombardier twisted the motor spring, and the throwing arm picked up and smashed the stone bullets out, and then everyone stepped forward and pulled the rope on the arm to reset and fix the throwing arm, and finally fine-tuned the angle to re-select the attack position. Bomb - Throw - Reset - Reaim, mechanically repeating the operation. The flying boulder fell into the group of demons, and the demon that was directly hit was immediately blurred with flesh and blood, and there was no corpse. Some boulders will roll over with the remaining momentum after they land, and many unlucky demons will be killed and injured along the way.

It's a pity that although the lethality of ballistas and trebuchets is strong, the number is relatively small, and the number of kills caused to the demon army is less than a fraction of the number of demons.

The battle line of the Templar continued to retreat, gradually retreating to less than 100 meters in front of the coalition lines. And this is exactly the distance at which the archer units within the coalition can attack.

"Archers prepare! Look up at the four hands (60 degrees in elevation)! Ejection! At the command of the bower, the archers raised the angle of their bows and arrows to sixty degrees, released the bowstring, which had been drawn, and shot the arrows between their fingers. After the first arrow is fired, the archers quickly draw the second arrow from the position where the arrow is placed on their body, quickly shoot the arrow with their bows open, and then repeat the action again. In a few breaths, all the archers fired at least five arrows. The dense array of arrows flew into the air and then fell sharply, landing on the top of the swarming demon horde. Under the dense rain of arrows, the demons in the area covered by the rain of arrows suddenly fell. However, there were still many demons, and the demons who had been shot by the arrows fell to the ground and died more than alive, but more demons swarmed up from the rear to fill the empty space left by the former servants.

-

"Uh-huhβ€”it's almost eighty meters away." Crossing the front line of the defense zone of the Southern Alliance, which belonged to the Tristram Kingdom Expeditionary Force, Xu Wenjie put his hand on the pergola and looked forward, while reporting the distance of the demon army to his companions waiting behind him.

"Eldest sister (referring to Sun Xiaoyu): How effective is their archer troops?" Behind Xu Wenjie, Liu Chang's inquiring voice came.

"It doesn't seem to have much effect." Xu Wenjie continued to observe the front and said, "There are many demons that have fallen, but there are even more demons swarming from behind. ”

"Eldest sister, they also did their best, now it's our turn." Hearing this, Fu Bin stood up, crossed his hands and ten fingers above his head and stretched his limbs to warm up, and at the same time said to the companions beside him: "Since the demon army will soon advance to the best magic bombardment distance, then it is time for our magic bombardment to be the next, according to the plan, let's take turns to shoot - that ...... Which of us will come first? ”

Several of the companions around looked at each other, but none of them threatened to be the first attacker. According to the pre-agreed battle plan, the members in charge of the large-scale spell bombardment should make the bombardment as wide as possible. Among the traversal skills, there are three skills that can achieve a wide range of attacks: 'Blizzard', 'Rain of Fire', and 'Lightning Storm', all of which have an attack range of at least 10 meters (multiple rounds of attacking the same area). And if you scatter the number of attacks and configure the attack landing point, it can at least affect an area with a radius of more than 20 meters (these three skills Lv0 has four attack waves, Lv1 has six rounds, Lv2 has eight rounds, and Lv3 has ten rounds). Of course, the attack area has expanded, and the lethality of each attack point has been weakened, and it is very likely that the first member to strike will not receive many demon heads.

After glancing at his companions around him, Fu Bin raised his hand in distress and pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Alas-I should have known that this would be the case." It's better to listen to Lao Yang's suggestion at that time and arrange the order of the lottery. ”

Now the lottery is of course in the order of arrangement, but it is inevitable to waste time.
