Chapter 125: A False Shot
Darren Iron Mountain, who once participated in the Second War, is no stranger to human archer throwing, but elven archers are. These long ears are the same as the dark night, and their control of bows and arrows is not just talking, and with their strong individual strength, the attack distance of flat fire is about the same as that of human archers, and the accuracy and lethality are better!
The human archers I had seen before had thrown a maximum of about five hundred paces, and ordinary archer brigades had to be close to three or four hundred paces before they could attack, otherwise they would not be able to hit the target at all. Fortunately, the High Elves, who had a long range of attacks, gave up their skillful archery skills and instead attacked the enemy with massive and dense attacks, and Captain Darren tragically found that his proud artillery was not as far as his bow and arrow
Garinder stepped forward to test and shoot a few arrows, letting Captain Darren know the rangers' intentions. But after all, it was a step too late, and the dwarves at such a distance did not expect to be attacked by the enemy, and they were leisurely fiddling with their weapons there. By the time they reacted, it was already a black cloud
At the same time that Captain Darren angrily shouted at the dwarves to hide, Garinder also issued an order to the rangers~
"Six hundred and fifty steps ahead, fifty angles, two or ninety percent of the wind, shoot!!"
With one command after another, the High Elves adjusted the angle and strength of their bows and arrows in unison. Garinder shot the last word, and the elven ranger stepped forward and shot a long arrow at the same time.
Arrows whizzed through the air and landed unmistakably on the dwarven positions.
The dwarven warriors in the front row have plate armor and tower shields to protect themselves, and the arrows fall on their bodies or on the shields with a clanging sound, but there is no. But the dwarven musketeers and gunners in the back row were miserable, their thin layer of leather armor could not stop the sharp long arrows specially made by the High Elves at all, except for some who reacted quickly to dodge, and the rest were all pierced by the rain of arrows falling from the air, and they were frozen to the ground.
Darren's eyes were shattered by the tragic situation in front of him, and he shouted angrily for the dwarven warriors to step forward with shields and protect the musketeers and retreat to the rear. But the sudden attack just now had already stunned the dwarves, and the whole position was in a mess, and there was no way to organize an effective defense.
The dwarves are beaten, the chickens and dogs are jumping, and the High Elf rangers are not idle. The damage caused by the first round of arrow rain apparently pleased Garinde, and he commanded the rangers to attack one after another
After five or six consecutive rains of arrows, the dwarves finally adjusted their formation and stubbornly protected themselves from the attack overhead. The musketeers and artillerymen were also covered by the fighters and retreated to the back to be treated by the priests. But those who can be carried to the back for treatment at least prove that he is still alive, and the others are lying there hugging Mother Earth
Seeing that the attack was not very effective, Xie Feng ordered Garinde to stop the attack, stand in place and stand on standby, as long as the dwarves have moved, they will immediately attack again, but they must not enter their attack range!
The effect of this round of attacks was very significant, with the elite dwarven musketeers and gunners suffering heavy losses, and the rest of the warriors also suffered considerable losses due to rescuing their comrades. Two thousand elite dwarves in Ironforge who participated in World War II, a few who remained in Dangalok, were attacked by frostwolves and lost hundreds of people, and then hundreds of people were wiped out by the elves' rain of arrows. Now there were less than a thousand soldiers, and they were miserable and miserable, unable to advance or retreat.
Attack, even these warriors in steel plate armor can't outrun the elven rangers with two more small short legs, and they can't block their bows and arrows if they take off the plate armor to chase it, and they can only be the elite targets of those high elf rangers if they stay here, and if they are not careful, they will be beaten into a hornet's nest. Darren even felt that even in World War II, Grim Baatar had never been so aggrieved
On the other side, after Galinde handed over the command to his deputy, he came to Xie Feng and asked excitedly:
"My lord! What now? We've wiped out at least five hundred of these dwarves! ”
Xie Feng looked up at the sky, and then said to Galinde: "The soldiers are resting in place, the officers above the sixth order will give me a single point on those dwarves whose defenses are flawed, it is nothing to enter the range of artillery attacks, with the strength of the officers, you should be able to dodge, but don't be attacked by muskets!" Give me a deterrent if you are attacked! ”
"My lord, why don't you continue to attack? If you suppress them with a rain of arrows, it will be easier to show their flaws, and it won't be when the time comes," Garinde excitedly proposed. She obviously forgot what her attitude was when Xie Feng proposed to use the projectile.
"We have plenty of arrows, but not enough to waste!" Xie Feng replied.
"Uh~ Then I'll go down first!" Garinde was a little embarrassed, he had been used to fighting with trolls in Hinterland in the past few years, and he hadn't participated in the conference battle for so long, so he would make such a low-level mistake.
In the ensuing hours, the rangers fired several rounds of projectiles, confusing the dwarven formation, and the officers took the opportunity to take a few lives. The rest of the time is the time for the rangers above the sixth order, these people ran to the position of about three or four hundred steps in front of the dwarf formation, showing off their skilled archery skills unscrupulously, and if the other party is not careful, someone will be pierced through the throat by an arrow.
This distance is not at all for the dwarven musketeers, and it is not very powerful to hit. The artillery range is sufficient, but these agile rangers will not be locked at all. The fuse was lit, the cannon was fired until the cannonball hit the ground, and the rangers did not know where to run for a long time, and the unwilling dwarves fired dozens of cannonballs, but none of them were caught, but the gunners were taken advantage of the opportunity to shoot several people.
The morning went by, the elves consuming some arrows and the dwarves consuming some lives. By noon, Xie Feng ordered the rangers to retreat, came to the right side of the ruins of the old castle and set up camp, and rested for a while.
This distance was just within the range of the dwarven telescope, but they couldn't see the situation inside, so in order to be safe, Xie Feng also asked the magisters to get a small magic cover that could only cover the traces of the camp.
This made the dwarves know that Xie Feng and the others were here, but they didn't know what they were going to do, and they didn't want to advance or retreat at the Soladin Wall, and they were extremely entangled in their hearts~
After resting for a while, Xie Feng asked the rangers to continue to torture the dwarves in the afternoon, and did not return to the camp until sunset.
The army entered the camp, and after the magisters opened the magic cover, Xie Feng immediately ordered everyone to bring only bows and arrows and other combat materials and a small amount of food, and galloped south from the back of the camp through the ruins of the old castle towards Nanhai Town.
"Hey, are we going to attack Nanhai Town?" Tyri asked eagerly beside her.
She has been following Xie Feng for the past few days, except for some novelties and the atmosphere of the battle of the army, she has done nothing. The violent woman who hadn't been able to make a move for a few days is now impatient and is trying to find an unlucky ghost to loosen her muscles.
"Attack Nanhai Town? Are you full? Are those Union Navy warships easy to mess with? Where do we go to be cannon fodder for naval guns? Xie Feng rolled his eyes and replied lazily.
"So where are we going?" Tyri didn't care, no matter where she attacked, as long as she could vent, anyway, Xie Feng at night would not call these rangers to practice collectively, and they would definitely have a fight!
"Attack the town of Hillsbrad and relieve the siege of Talenmere!" Xie Feng replied very happily.
"Then why are you running in the direction of Nanhai Town?" Tyri asked.
"We're going to avoid the alliances outside of Talummere, so we're going to pass through Talummere and Southsea at night! The chances of being found this way will be very small. Xie Feng explained.
Tyri nodded knowingly, and followed behind Xie Feng with an excited expression.
It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and after following Xie Feng for so long, Tai Li, who was originally a very pure little princess, has a tendency to have a little black belly. I often have nothing to do with Xie Feng to listen to meetings between him and his subordinates, and study how he is a yin person. The dragon, who originally believed in the supremacy of strength and the need to fight above board, was now accustomed to how to sneak attack and ambush, and when he heard that Xie Feng was going to Yin, not only did he not despise it, but he would follow him with great interest as a thug
Is this called adolescent rebellion? Malygos and Sindagoza are incompetent
Xie Feng led the rangers to the south for about three hours, and then turned to the west. Passing through the halfway between Southsea Town and Tarummere did not encounter a large coalition. Instead, he ran into a small group of messengers, who were shot by the rangers before they discovered the elven army, contributing a little information.
It turns out that the Union forces besieging Talumir at this time are not two, but three! In addition to the militia of Southsea Town and the militia of Hillsbride Town, even the syndicate thieves have joined in! I don't know why this happened, but the Syndicate was actually bribed by the Alliance to act as an Alliance intelligence agent for the entire Hillsbrad Hills and Arathi Highlands.
Although he was a little surprised, Xie Feng didn't pay much attention to it. As far as the syndicate and those garbage thieves are concerned, all of them are gathered and it is not enough for all of Xie Feng's subordinates to charge again. Even the relatively strong intelligence gathering ability is only in humans and alliances. The difference in race makes it difficult for them to infiltrate the tribe, and the information they can get about the tribe is very limited.
Later, he found the Claire Ranger team who was monitoring the movements of the alliance outside Nanhai Town, and after learning about the situation, he rushed west.
Then, without any accidents, the army easily crossed the hills at night and arrived at the destination of this trip, the town of Hillsbrad!
