Chapter 31: The Jungle Elves Attack Phoenix

The ladder of the first siege tower had been lowered, and on the wall facing the ladder, a platoon of musketeers had aimed at the opposite side, ready to shoot.

The jungle elves were armed with spears, their blue skin and sharp fangs, and their bodies trembled slightly from nervousness, perhaps excitement.

The commander of the musketeers had already raised his right hand, and when the ladder board was completely lowered and placed on the women's wall, the commander suddenly waved his hand down: "Fire!"

"Bang-" A neat gunshot rang out, and the first row of jungle goblins who had just revealed their heads were slowly falling down one by one by the huge piercing force of the bullets.

The jungle elves behind rushed past the corpses of their companions and towards the city walls.

However, if you look closely, you can clearly find that the pace of the second wave of soldiers is no longer as brave as the first wave.

The reason why this happened was because they were frightened by the volley of gunfire.

The jungle elves, who are timid by nature, find that as soon as a neat gun is fired, all their companions in the first row will magically fall. As a result, the jungle elves who were at the forefront at the moment, and their bodies trembling gently with excitement at this moment had now become trembling with fear.

The soldiers in the first row, who had already fired their bullets, stepped back and continued to reload. The soldiers in the second platoon, who were already ready, came up one after another.

"Fire!"

A second round of gunfire rang out, and the jungle elves who were about to arrive at the city walls fell, but in a matter of seconds, the third wave of jungle elves had already crossed the corpses of their companions and rushed to the city walls.

The third platoon of soldiers with spears stuffed into the barrels of their guns rushed to the front and attacked the rushing jungle elves.

Lin Jue looked at this scene, and felt a little helpless: "Mistake, there is no such thing as a bayonet in this world, and there is still a backward way of fighting with a spear stuffed into the barrel." ”

However, the approach of the squad commander just now made Lin Jue's eyes shine, the combat shooting method of this squad was obviously different from other musket teams, and it already had a trace of line infantry.

Even Lin Jue could see that this was not a temporary initiative of the commander, it seemed that he had already adopted this training method when training soldiers in peacetime.

He turned his head to Bi Fang and said, "When this battle is over, let the commander of that squad come to see me." ”

Bi Fang was also surprised by the combat methods of that team, and naturally he would not be surprised by Lin Jue's request.

The battle situation here is good, and under the attack of the soldiers, the jungle elves were unable to break through the defense line and come to the city wall for a while. Even timidity has been revealed, and the density of the attack is getting lower and lower.

But elsewhere the results were much worse. The other siege towers had already lowered their ladders, and the jungle elves had crossed the ladders to the city walls, where they fought with the soldiers guarding them.

The entire city wall has turned into a sea of blue and white.

Due to the sudden reduction in the defender's ranged attack, the jungle elves who rushed forward with the ladder had arrived at the city and set up the ladder on the city wall.

Defenders who don't have an effective defensive force are losing ground up gradually. Although the attack power of the jungle elves is not high, there are many of them, and the city wall is about to be lost.

Lin Jue originally thought that 3,000 soldiers guarding a small city, and 10,000 temporarily organized siege troops would not be able to break through the city defense system of Phoenix City.

Moreover, the jungle elves are all short in stature, comparable in height to dwarves, relatively speaking, humans should be more dominant.

But Lin Jue never expected that it was precisely because of the short stature of the jungle goblins that their bodies were more flexible than humans.

As a result, the human soldiers in close combat suffered heavy losses, and Phoenix was about to be breached.

"Your Excellency, with all due respect, it is time to prepare for evacuation as soon as possible. Bi Fang's expression was solemn and he said respectfully to Lin Jue.

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "But, where can we retreat?"

Bi Fang heard this, but he was speechless.

yes? Where can you evacuate?

The road was blocked by snow, and I am afraid that the evacuation team would not have long before they would have to be caught up by the other party.

But the port is blocked by ice floes, how can the ships leave? What's more, the number of ships is extremely limited, and it is impossible to support the evacuation of the people of the whole city, and the enemy is an alien army, Bi Fang will not be foolish to think that these alien races can open up to the people of the human race.

"There is no way back, let's fight against the water. Lin Jue said these words with a bitter face, he secretly regretted it, he originally thought that the Eastern Continent would not be like the Orlante Kingdom, where the north was blocked by the northern tundra cannibal tribes, and the south was a great desert, with a strong country in the east and west, and fell into the predicament of being blocked.

As a result, who would have thought that the Eastern Continent was not peaceful, if he had known that there was the current result, he would not have organized a colonial team so rashly and came here directly.

What's more, the magic that can inexplicably freeze people into ice sculptures has not yet appeared, and as a result, the city is about to be breached.

Just as Lin Jue sighed, preparing to leave the city tower with Bi Fang and the others and transfer the headquarters, a scene suddenly appeared in front of him that stunned him.

Siege towers, suddenly disappeared.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was right, the closest siege tower to him had disappeared.

"What's the situation?" Lin Jue muttered.

Not only him, but many others noticed this magical scene, and even the warriors of the two sides who were intertwined and fighting in the vicinity paused for a moment.

Suddenly, a slender palm stretched out from behind Lin Jue and gently patted him on the shoulder.

Lin Jue was taken aback, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and instantly turned around to look, it turned out to be Gloria.

"Why?, scared?" said Gloria, smirking.

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "You scared me." ”

Gloria shrugged helplessly and said, "I thought you were frightened by the sudden disappearance of the siege tower, but I didn't expect to be scared by me." Hey, am I that scary?"

Without waiting for Lin Jue to speak, Gloria turned to point to the sea, Nunu's mouth, and said, "Na, look over there." ”

Everyone near the castle tower looked in the direction Gloria was pointing, and their expressions instantly became strange.

On the seashore, on a huge ice floe, a wooden siege tower suddenly appeared. If you look closely, isn't it the one that disappeared just now?

Before Lin Jue and the others could come back to their senses, a siege tower instantly appeared on the ice floe again, instantly rising from the bottom and pushing the previous one directly into the sea.

"Emir?" Lin Jue twitched at the corner of his eyes, puzzled.

Gloria chuckled, "yes, how is it?

Lin Jue glanced at her and ignored her, his eyes searched between the two-color torrents on the city wall.

Soon, he spotted a black figure, like a ghost, shuttling through the flow of people.

He squeezed into the battlefield and approached the siege tower directly, he stretched out his palm and placed it on the siege tower, and the next moment, the siege tower was glowing with a ghostly light and disappeared in place.
