Volume 1 Prehistoric Wars Chapter 54 Tug of War
Six-clawed pterosaurs can become Qingfeng's opponents, naturally they have no problem in flight altitude, they can easily rush to an altitude of nearly two thousand meters, and their speed is much faster than that of giant dragons.
However, they are limited by their size and strength, and they cannot carry one or two hundred pounds of wurms in the sky.
The reason why they left the green phoenix and pounced on the griffin was because they often regarded the griffin as an opponent as well.
The griffin is much larger than the six-clawed pterodactyl, and its strength is stronger than that of the six-clawed pterodactyl, but it has not been able to increase in quantity.
The rapid approach of the six-clawed pterosaur caught the griffin knight off guard, but the Xuanhuang people, who had been in war for a long time, had already tempered their vigilance, and they immediately reacted, turned the arrow, and shot wildly at the six-clawed pterodactyl team.
But after all, the six-clawed pterosaur seized the opportunity, and after being shot dead by a group of its companions, the six-clawed pterosaur forcibly pounced on the griffin like a vicious god.
In terms of individual combat ability, griffins themselves are much stronger than six-clawed pterosaurs, but at this moment they have a burden, and many griffons have forgotten about this stubble and directly scolded six-clawed pterosaurs as before.
The griffin is larger than the six-clawed pterosaur, the lion's claws are completely adequate for cutting the flesh of carbon-based creatures, and most importantly, its forelimbs are really developed, and often a slap can slap the six-clawed pterosaur dizzy.
However, the number of six-clawed pterosaurs was large, so they attacked in groups, and the griffin's eighteen martial arts were all used, and the two sides were evenly matched.
The griffons and six-clawed pterosaurs flying in the front row had a good time, but they only pitted the Xuanhuang people on their backs, but fortunately they had six arms, unless they were turned upside down with the first blow, the Xuanhuang people were like kraft candy, sticking to the griffin.
The griffons flying in the back row wanted to rush forward to fight, but were stopped by the Xuanhuang people, who stretched their bows and pulled the strings, shooting at their targets.
In the midst of a wail, the six-clawed pterosaur, which had been pierced by the arrow, could no longer control its wings, and planted its head directly to the ground.
By the time the hexapodactyl group came back to their senses, they had already suffered heavy casualties, and the hexapodactyl suddenly realized that this group of griffons was no longer an ordinary group of griffons, but a harvester of air units.
The six-clawed pterosaur no longer dared to be strong, and fled in a hurry with a hula, flying directly into the air at a height of two thousand meters, leaving the griffin out of reach.
The griffin and the yellowman came back to their senses, only to find that the dragon knight had fled without a trace, and they looked at the battlefield on the ground and threw their anger directly on the enemy's ground units.
In the past, griffons had to swoop down into battle, then catch some of the enemies they were fighting and fly into the air to drop them.
This kind of habitual means is good, but the key is that the guys who can be called beasts on land are basically more than hundreds of pounds, and reptiles are even more so, and there are many beasts in the population that weigh more than 2,000 pounds.
But now with the cooperation of the Xuanhuang people, everything has become simpler.
The griffons were forced to land at a low altitude of two hundred meters, and in this position, the arrows of the Argonians also lost their threat to them, but the arrows of the Xuanhuang people, under the acceleration of gravity, could easily penetrate the scale armor of most creatures.
The air-to-ground fire suppressed, and the enemy ground units were powerless to fight back, and the Argons saw that the situation was not good, and immediately organized a large army to retreat.
In this battle, the griffin successfully turned the balance of victory and defeat on the entire battlefield.
In the days that followed, the griffin and the three-headed bird army became the most headache for the Argons, and two months later, the central theater and the mammal camp returned to the original arrangement, and the southern theater not only regained the lost territory, but also forcibly occupied hundreds of miles of the reptile army.
Just when the Xuanhuang thought victory was in sight, a new type of air unit was launched in the camp of the Creeping Army, specifically for griffins and three-headed birds.
The Argonians, of course, did not wait to die, and they selected a breed that could compete with the griffons from among the various flying populations.
The idea was simple, let the new cavalry hold the griffons in tow, and then rely on the dragon knights to strike the ground units.
As a result, a "dwarf version of the dragon", which was only one-third the size of the dragon but was similar in shape to the dragon, was excavated by the Wurmists.
In order to distinguish the dragon, the old party called this creature "little dragon".
Although the dragons do not have the majestic size of the dragons, their flight altitude and speed can match that of griffins, and they have wings of nearly six meters long, so they have no problems in manning.
With the little dragon contained, the role of the griffin was greatly weakened, and whenever the griffin appeared, the little dragon took the initiative to meet it, and the two sides first fired a round of bows and arrows, and then it was in a stalemate.
Many times, after being surrounded by the little dragon knights, the griffin knight can only watch as one giant dragon after another flies under his feet.
The scales of victory tipped in favor of the creeping armies again, and the time came for the dragons to bombard the ground in a massive manner.
Of course, the Xuanhuang people will not be appointed, and soon, they are inspired by the spider webs and weave huge webs out of mountain vines to restrain the little dragons.
The invention of the giant net in the air surprised Lao Fang, and he immediately announced that this invention won the Nobel Prize this year......
The griffin knight with the giant net immediately killed the little dragon, and after the two armies met and completed the shooting, when the two engines launched a charge, the huge net was unfolded by the Xuanhuang man who held the net, and quietly surrounded the small dragon.
At first, because the structure of the net was really bad, although it was effective, it was not very obvious.
But after several reforms, the net of the Xuanhuang people has been completely changed to the shape of a giant pocket.
The unfortunate little dragons and wurms who were surrounded were extremely miserable, and they were as desperate as fish and shrimp broke into a fish basket.
The Xuanhuang man was unrelenting, and the archers shot arrows into the net until there was no sound of wings flapping in the giant net, and then they let go of their hands and let them fall to the ground.
After the Xuanhuang people have a net pocket, they are simply invincible.
But the good times didn't last long, and after a few battles, Xiaolong was also equipped with a net pocket.
The Yalongs not only copied the Xuanhuang people's net pockets, but also improved the quality of the net pockets in their technology.
The powerful Wurmians directly cut the skin of the giant python into strips, and then weaved it into a net, and this enhanced version directly improved the quality of the "net" by several levels, making it stronger and more resilient.
After the two sides had nets, the fighting style of the dragon and the griffin changed a lot, and the two sides were always separated by a certain distance, and then they shot at each other quite tacitly.
The dragon knights were back in style, but they were much more careful, and they were still apprehensive about the griffons.
Speaking of which, the reptile army and the mammalian camp, in the past seven or eight years, their ground war has become a little weird, in the past, both sides were afraid of death to fight and rush, but now, when fighting, each of them has a heart, that is, looking at the sky, if something is wrong, immediately pull out their legs and run, no one wants to let the enemy fight in vain and not return.
In addition to escaping, every time the two sides fight, they will also bring a special team, the reptilian army uses earth dragons or digging dragons, and the mammals actually use a giant rat to use.
These animals do not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy directly, but seize the time to dig holes one by one, and at critical times, avoid the opponent's air attack.
Those battlefields where wars frequently take place are basically underground in all directions, and they are all masterpieces of digging dragons and giant rats.
Soon, the Xuanhuang people researched the "Meteor Hammer", this version of the meteor hammer is very rudimentary, just a stone tied to each end of the rope.
Their usage is very simple, when they encounter an enemy in the air, they can directly throw the meteor hammer over, use the power of two stones to rotate in mid-air, entangle the opponent's wings, and if you are lucky, you can limit the flight of the little dragon.
However, the role of the Meteor Hammer is not too prominent, and it is only equivalent to a general conventional weapon, but its enlarged version has become a major killer weapon of a certain race in the ground forces.
This race is the Ironback Ape, five or six meters tall, the powerful Ironback Ape, and they are one of the earliest allies of the Xuanhuang people.
The enlarged version of the Meteor Hammer has only one stone, tied to the tip of the giant vine.
It is worth mentioning that this stone is at least 300 catties.
When the iron-backed ape resists the enemy, it first smashes the boulder at the opponent, and the iron-backed ape can throw it more than 30 meters away from such a heavy stone, which shows its great strength.
The power generated by the boulder is so powerful that even the Tyrannosaurus rex would not dare to carry it, and ordinary beasts would not be able to avoid it.
After the boulder was smashed out, the ironback ape pulled the giant vine and pulled it back easily, and smashed it out again.
Sometimes they will learn from the Xuanhuang people, pull the giant vines, and round the boulder in mid-air, this move is extremely terrifying, and the unit with a body size of less than five meters can clear a large area of open space in an instant, just like a fallen leaf being swept by a broom.
The Argonians are very greedy for this enlarged version of the Meteor Hammer, but they are greedy for it, and they can indeed imitate it, but the problem is that there is no second species of reptiles other than themselves that can use this type of tool.
On the other hand, in the mammal camp, in addition to the Xuanhuang people, there are more than ten kinds of primates that can play with guns and sticks, especially the miniature version of King Kong of the ironback ape, with this meteor hammer, the combat effectiveness is suddenly bursting.
Lao Fang watched the tug-of-war between the two sides with great interest, and he felt very interesting.
In addition to being funny, he had a vague hunch that this war might give the two races a chance to advance by leaps and bounds.
Whether it is the Xuanhuang people or the Argonians, they are not short of wisdom, and when they constantly put pressure on their opponents in war, it is also a time for them to grow.
