Chapter 277: The Main Force Is Frustrated (Third Watch)
After the vanguard of the Kingdom of Severn had been destroyed, and the Night Elves had retreated back to the fortress of Brak, the herald who had not waited until his death came to the place with the orders of Severn IX.
However, the herald could not find the target he was trying to convey his order, and all he could see was a mess of meat sauce and a severed arm. All kinds of mutton skewer death, coke death, minced meat death and waist breaking death made this herald who had also experienced some war scenes so that he didn't spit it out.
Then, with a panicked face, he returned the way he came. The vanguard officer was also so eager to take the lead that he relied on the general superiority of the vanguard troops over the other units and made a rapid march, leaving the other troops too far.
It was so far away that when the vanguard was wiped out, the follow-up army of the Severn Kingdom did not find it, and it was not until the herald came back that everyone knew that the 100,000 vanguard troops of the Dao Dao had been wiped out in just half a magic hour.
This herald was also lucky. Although the Horned Eagle Beast Knight flying high in the sky had spotted him, Yu Fei had wanted to pass on the situation here to the troops behind the Severn Kingdom to see how they reacted. Therefore, the herald was not turned into the same corpse as the ground by the Horned Eagle Beast Knight.
Everyone who heard the news of the destruction of the vanguard, including Séven IX, was in a heavy mood, and the commanders of the various branches scolded the vanguard officer in their hearts. The elite soldiers of the vanguard were drawn from these branches, but now they are no longer transferred.
Sitting in a noble chariot pulled by four dragon camels, Severn IX said to the white-bearded old man sitting on the other side of the chariot with a worried face: "Pollini the Great. Mage, the so-called Night Elves who seem to have taken over Bulak Fortress. It's really strong. Our elite 100,000 vanguards. It was so easily wiped out. ”
sighed. Severn IX said depressedly: "This king suddenly has an ominous premonition, could it be that my Severn Kingdom will be destroyed at the hands of this Night Elf Clan?" ”
The white-bearded old man, the Pollini of Severn IX. The mage smiled slightly. "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, this time Your Majesty will definitely have a good result. What's more, since His Majesty has asked me to join the army, he naturally wants to do so when necessary."
Winking at Severn IX, Pollini the Great. The mage continued, "Naturally, he wanted me to take the royal mage group to use that trick when necessary. That's the case. Surely it will be fine. ”
Céven IX heard from Pollini the Great. The mage's relief was also a lift. "That's right, if we can't do it, we will use that trick, although it will destroy the fortress of Brak, but if we win this battle, there will be no need for the fortress to exist."
As he spoke, Severn IX had already fallen into the fantasy of defeating the Night Elves and attacking the small western kingdoms with the power of victory to complete his previous ambitions. And Pollini the Great. The mage silently closed his eyes and meditated, and Wang Yuanzhong was quiet for a while.
However, after a while, Severn IX recovered from his imagination and called the guards waiting outside to convey his orders.
Severn IX's strategy was the dumbest but also the most effective. With the sheer size of his army, Severn IX was prepared to sacrifice the lives of some of his soldiers in an attempt to capture the fortress of Braque.
No matter how strong the ranged troops of this Night Elf clan are, no matter how far they shoot. I don't believe that a million troops can't fill it up. Even if it's a million pigs standing there for the enemy to shoot, I'm afraid to shoot. You can't shoot to death even if you're soft, right? With the Night Elves now numbering less than thirty thousand in the Brak Fortress. Although the vanguard had been destroyed, Severn IX still did not see the enemy as heavy.
His struggle at the moment is whether to use "that trick" or not. Use it, it's a pity that a good fortress has just disappeared. If not, the army of the Kingdom of Severn would probably die in large numbers.
After several trade-offs, Severn IX finally made up his mind. Kingdom. The army is the guarantee of the kingdom's strength, and it cannot be consumed too much in the battle with the aliens. Just the destruction of the 100,000 vanguard made Severn IX feel very distressed.
Without a strong enough army and a sufficient number of troops, even if the Night Elves were wiped out, the other countries that had been eyeing them would probably immediately show their claws. Severn IX made up his mind to attack with conventional methods first. If it really doesn't work, in order to avoid too many losses for the soldiers, you have to use "that trick"! Severn IX's face was ruthless.
For the orders of Severn IX, although the generals and nobles did not deal with each other, they still obeyed each other. The troops that went fast slowed down, and the troops that walked slowly picked up. The various detachments, which had diverged their ways, arrived at the fortress of Brak at about the same time.
In the distance, everyone saw the disgusting corpses. Some of the recruits who had never seen so many corpses and tragic deaths, as well as the private army of the nobles and the children of the nobles, all vomited.
After a little probing, the troops in front of them deduced that the attack distance of the Night Elves' ranged troops was generally between 500 and 600 meters. And this, in fact, is not accurate. With enchanted equipment and advancement, even elite Night Elf archers have a range of up to 750 meters.
The range that the Severn Kingdom army has now speculated on is only the data that Tyrande deliberately gave in order to paralyze them. When the battle is in full swing, these erroneous statistics will surely surprise humanity.
Those who speculated on the range of the Night Elves' ranged forces did not doubt their own assertions. Because the range of five or six hundred meters was already incredible in their eyes, they didn't wonder if this was a deliberate conspiracy set up by the enemy.
As the number of troops arrived, the scene outside the fortress became more spectacular. There are 10,000 people who are boundless, and 100,000 people who reach the sea and the sky, so what about the million army? Well, you can only see a sea of people.
And this sea of people is composed of soldiers, so the murderous aura emitted is also incomparably huge. If someone cultivates the Killing Intent Fluctuation Fist in this, they will definitely enter the realm quickly Well, let's take a look at the next move of the Severn Kingdom troops.
For the attack on the fortress of Brak, the preparations made by the Kingdom of Severn are still relatively sufficient. Catapults, building cars, and so on. As for crashing cars or something, Eslaze didn't. Because the kind of crashing car pushed by ordinary soldiers crashed into the city gate, and the effect caused by a strong man's blow was not as good.
However, the catapult must be abandoned here, and before it can be pushed within the range of your own catapult, these huge target machines will probably be smashed by the stones in the city that attack at a very long distance. Perhaps, the building car can also play a little role.
Groups of soldiers entered the hundreds of carts, and many more followed behind the carts to use them as cover to advance towards the fortress of Braque.
The building cart used in the war by the Anthropocene realm in Eslaze does not need to be driven by manpower like the building carts that appeared in the history of the earth. While it is true that a small number of people need to be powered by things like pedals inside the building car, the building car is actually powered by magic.
A building car that has been engraved with light body skills only needs more than ten people to move at a disreasonable speed. And this building car can accommodate hundreds of people, and there will be even more people who follow behind and use it as cover.
In this wave of temptation, the Kingdom of Severn invested 500 building chariots and 300,000 soldiers. Everyone was nervously observing the situation of the building cars and soldiers, while those in the rear were anxiously waiting for news.
However, as time went on, the building car and the soldiers who followed it got closer and closer to the fortress, but the fortress remained unresponsive. Could it be that the Night Elves can't take the building car? No, those boulders that can be thrown far away are enough to threaten the building car.
It wasn't until the wagon and the troops that followed it advanced to a distance of only three hundred meters from the fortress that the fortress finally began to counterattack.
Without a segmented attack, five hundred Ancient Guardians and a thousand (two hundred newly brought by Avril) Mountain Giants threw boulders at the same time. The division of labor is very clear, the three boulders are aimed at a building car, and the accuracy of the Night Elf unit is unquestionable.
"Boom-" "Click-" The sound of crashing one after another, the sound of wood breaking and collapsing alternately, also indicated that such an attack by the Kingdom of Severn was indeed not threatening.
After the building cars collapsed, all the soldiers turned and fled as they had previously ordered. However, although they reacted quickly, the Night Elves naturally put the enemy so close to the fortress of Brak in order to kill them more.
In the end, under the continuous arrows, boulders and javelins, only about 100,000 of the 300,000 troops managed to escape the death line of several hundred meters. And the five hundred building cars, naturally, all turned into wreckage and lay there, forming a beautiful picture with the corpses everywhere.
Severn IX was furious. He had already overestimated the Night Elves' long-range strength, but he didn't expect that such a careful temptation would cause the troops to lose another one-seventh at once! This one-seventh is equivalent to about one-tenth of the troops of the entire Severn Kingdom.
Those Night Elves are too insidious! Putting our troops so close to attack would have to rain more arrows to those who fled. Moreover, the firing range of five or six hundred meters that was tested before was actually fake, which made the troops lose so much!
But this Night Elf Clan is really super strong in the range, if it really doesn't work, don't blame me for using "that trick". Céven IX was convinced. (To be continued......)
