246. Suppression
After the third steppe elf was pierced through the throat by one of his arrows, the other steppe elves finally sensed that something was wrong with the battle.
The white light that shot from the watchtower, like the death scythe, each arrow would accurately take the life of a steppe elf.
With just three arrows, the three steppe elves were sent to the Annihilation Realm.
In the past, the proud steppe elves would definitely compete with the enemy's mysterious archery master, but now they have long been tainted by the extravagant and decaying life of the arrogant quality that originally belonged to the elf clan, and they did not dare to face the all-steel arrows that were as strong as the wind, and they all retreated backwards and hid behind the shield.
In this way, although Avidson could not see them, they could no longer see the situation of the watchtower, and the threat to the archers inside was temporarily lifted.
The charging heavy infantry in ten platoons, under the cover of the rain of arrows, fell into the depths of the waterhole one after another, and in this round of attack, they only advanced twenty meters, and they had already lost more than 300 soldiers. Half of them are Avison's masterpieces, and five hundred all-steel arrows are neatly arranged behind Avison, and in just eight minutes, more than two hundred have been consumed! It can be seen that the speed of Avidson's archery, the flow of his movements are skillful, and the average speed of one arrow in two seconds is that even the best archers in the elven race will probably be deeply shocked by the terrifying archery skills of this dwarven archer.
The aisle is narrow, the two sides are enemy, the shield armor of the heavy infantry is useless, they can only use all their strength, do their best to advance step by step, most of them now only have the same idea, attack the opposite platform alive, take down the two condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack stone towers, and fiercely cramp and peel the archers inside!
However, three hundred meters away, halfway up the mountain, Badaling's archery troops began a second round of counterattacks, a distance that was outside the range of the enemy magician's attack, and the enemy's air force did not dare to break into the defensive airspace of the dragon and the super demonic beast.
Five hundred archers fired thousands of arrows at once, coupled with the innate advantage formed by the terrain drop, the heavy and dense all-steel arrows all fell on the passage, and the power can be imagined.
The sharp arrows were still devastating, piercing the two-centimeter-thick iron shields of the heavy infantry on the spot, and the infantry hiding behind the shields were either killed or severely wounded.
In order for the archers to carry out this battle smoothly, Jiajing deliberately spent a lot of money, and asked the craftsmen of Gomez to work day and night to produce more than 20,000 all-steel arrows, these sharp arrows are worth fifty silver coins alone, and two are worth one gold coin.
This kind of small-scale war, Jiajing can still afford to consume, if the big armies start a war between each other, each salvo of tens of thousands of bows and arrows, if all of them are made of all-steel, it is five thousand gold coins, no matter how rich the empire is, it is difficult to bear, above the empire, only the most elite bow and arrow troops with the most qualifications will be equipped with such heavy and expensive arrows.
They never expected that the crossbow team on Badaling was actually a strange guy with outstanding arm strength, and everyone could easily use heavy steel arrows.
The heavy infantry was only equipped with a shield of the unified system of the mainland, which could resist ordinary bows and arrows, but to resist these all-steel arrows, it was necessary to install a steel shield up to two centimeters thick, or a giant Tanute shield. However, if such a heavy shield was carried into battle, and the weight of the armor they were wearing, the heavy infantry of Ingenia would become as slow as a snail and not a threat.
The dense arrows were aimed at the narrow passage, and the lethality of the salvo was extremely terrifying, and after two rounds of attacks, almost all the heavy infantry were nailed to the ground, letting out a heart-rending wail of pain, which was unbearable, so that the heavy infantry in the rear charged and castrated.
Seeing that the hoplites could not go further, and the soldiers in the rear began to retreat little by little, Ecks couldn't help but sigh in annoyance, the morale of the coalition army was not high, and they had been fighting for many days on the way, and they had already languished, and if they were forced to continue the charge, they were afraid that it would cause a mutiny and defection, so they had to issue an order to retreat.
The heavy infantry immediately retreated like a tide, and in this charge, they lost more than 500 lives of their comrades, but they could not even set foot on the opposite bank. Badaling, on the other hand, only lost two or three thousand gold of all-steel arrows.
The narrow passage was full of sharp arrows, and many of the soldiers who were nailed to it had not yet lost their breath, choking and convulsing, and some let out a terrible cry, struggling with life and death, like a hell on earth.
Blood stained the pool below, and countless piranhas with white teeth were surging wildly, waiting for another batch of food to arrive.
Ex was in a predicament where he could do anything for a while, he could only send reinforcements to his master's magician team, and at the same time, the two bed crossbows were also pushed to the edge of the waterhole, completely enveloping the area of five hundred meters in front of him in the threatening range of armor-piercing crossbow arrows, and he thought to himself: Leave the green mountains without fear of no firewood, it's time to dispatch my air force headquarters!
The Giant Bed Crossbow has an effective range of more than 1,000 meters, but it can only be fixed to the city wall and cannot be moved.
Although the effective range of the small bed crossbow brought by Ingenia is only 500 meters, its maximum range can still reach more than 1,000 meters.
It's just that once it is used at that kilometer distance, not only is the direction difficult to control, but the strength is also insufficient.
And at the moment, Aix chose to attack at a distance of three hundred meters, which was exactly the right distance for their bed crossbow to exert its good power!
Under the cover of two bed crossbows, the air force can withstand the rain of arrows and attack the two watchtowers.
Ex had already smeared his blue scorpion venom on the five armor-piercing Mithril crossbow arrows, and just waited for the opponent to dispatch the dragon and super demonic beast, and then gave the opponent a hard blow!
Mithril is a very rare demon-repelling metal, and the reason why Badaling can have such a huge amount of Mithril equipment is basically saved by the green dwarves for more than two hundred years.
The precious armor-piercing mythril crossbow arrow, Ex has always been reluctant to use it, but if it is not used at this time, it is difficult to cross this short waterhole passage, and the battle behind it cannot be carried out, is it possible to lose a large number of soldiers in this way and retreat, it is unrealistic to surround the mountain, not to mention how much food is stored on Badaling, whether it can be self-sufficient, the other party has dragon knights and super monster warriors, and they can go out at any time to use the storage ring to buy a large amount of food and come back, Ex does not believe that the other party has such a strong strength, and he will not even have space equipment。
The Invenia air force, led by a knight riding a four-winged flying tiger, dispersed, bypassed the front of the watchtower, and swooped down on the back of the tower.
