Chapter 210: Armageddon (5)
In less than ten days, a fortification made of solid wood was built at the exit of the Elven Clan in the Hengduan Mountains, and the wood used was a giant wood that had been cut down by the hard-working soldiers and had gone through a long time. As they grow year after year, the trunks of these trees become thicker and harder, and they are very good materials for the construction of fortifications, both strong and light.
On January 1, 619 in the sacred calendar, the Terran New Year's Festival, the festival of the Terrans to celebrate the arrival of the new year.
If the New Year Festival of the Terrans is the second grandest festival of the Terrans, then absolutely no other festival dares to call it the first.
In the hearts of the human race, there is no more important day than the New Year's Festival.
In order to dare to have a good holiday on this grand festival, the elf "Devil Vine" legion occupying Qinghe City was dumpled by the fourth and sixteenth legions of the human race. The two legions specially found a gap for the Devil Vine Legion to go out to find food, and each sent a brigade to capture Qinghe City, and the other four brigades were divided into four directions to outflank the Devil Vine Legion.
"Order the troops, beat the drums, march on!"
The drummer began to pound the cowhide drum in front of him with the drumstick in his hand, and the sound of the thump stimulated the eardrums of the fighters, and even stirred their hearts to beat.
The first to enter the field was the Terran heavy cavalry, known as the "fortress of human nature", the armored war horses galloped, and the long cavalry spears were raised by the knights, and the tips of the guns flashed with a sharp cold light.
"Archer, oblique three degrees, throw!" The officer of the archer phalanx, a ranger without a trace, shot a positioning arrow. Although the positioning arrow shot by the Traceless Ranger has the word "positioning" in its name, it is actually an arrow with such powerful lethality. A sharp three-edged armor-piercing arrow streaked through the air in a parabola, flying over the heads of the charging heavy cavalry, and then a blood flower flew out of the elven battle array.
I don't know which hapless elf was shot by this positioning arrow. The only thing that is certain is that he is dead.
The unique blood groove of the Three-Edged Armor-Piercing Arrow quickly empties the blood in the body, and even the best doctor cannot heal the wound in such a short time, unless it is the "nurse" of the Holy See of Light, the priest, who uses healing magic.
How could the elves have a human priest? With their secret magic, which can only be regarded as ordinary healing magic, it also requires a powerful magician to achieve good results in healing, how can there be priests who specialize in healing magic.
The commander of the archers, who had confirmed the effect of the strike, shouted out the elevation angle of the attack, and immediately afterward, a rain of locust-like arrows shot out from the Terrans.
Looking over the battlefield, you can see a large "black cloud" floating quickly from the top of the Terran battle array to the elven battle array.
"Shoot the arrows!" As the ancestor of the archers, the elves certainly did not show weakness in long-range attacks, and the rain of arrows, which were more and bigger than the human race, returned the salute, and at the same time, the elven soldiers at the front reached out and sprinkled a large green object that they didn't know what it was, and with the green light of the arcane magic and the familiar magic fluctuations, a wide and tall vine wall appeared in front of the battle array.
In the next second, the arrows shot by the Terran archers fell down on their heads and faces.
Due to the protection of the flexible vine wall, nearly half of the arrows were blocked, and only those that were thrown higher flew directly over the vine wall and landed in the center of the battle array.
With the popping sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh, one after another elves were pierced through the head by arrows falling from the sky, and the earth was immediately soaked in green blood.
Almost at the same time, the Terran battle array was also hit by elven arrows.
Unlike the elven race, the human battle array has a very complete armor and shield, and there is no need for a mage to consume his precious spiritual power. With just one tower shield of the tower shield soldiers, it can achieve the same blocking effect as the elven vine magic.
Most of the elves have no iron armor on their bodies, and more of them are made of specially treated plant vines, and some even have no rattan armor. Most of the damage caused by a wave of arrow rain from the Terran archers is absolute damage, and the defense of the vine armor may be able to cause good defense in front of the arrow, but in the face of the special three-edged armor-piercing arrow, it will not play any role at all.
Compared with the absolute lethality of the elves, the Terran side is equipped with metal armor on every soldier, and some sword and shield soldiers are also equipped with half-body shields. In this way, the damage that can be inflicted by arrow strikes is minimized.
After a rain of arrows from the elves, the soldiers of the human race were actually killed less than three hundred, and many more soldiers were slightly injured, which was not a problem for them, and they could continue to maintain most of their combat effectiveness.
When the Terran heavy cavalry had already killed less than two hundred steps away from the elven battle array, the elven clan shot a rain of arrows again.
That's the difference between the two, the elves attack more often. When the Terran archers shoot two waves of arrows, the elves can shoot three waves.
This wave was a flat shot, and all the arrows were replaced with cone-shaped arrow-piercing arrows, in order to maximize the damage to the heavy cavalry.
The more power required to shoot horizontally, the more powerful the arrows are fired. The cone-shaped armor-piercing arrows whistled in a strong wind, swarming into the charging heavy cavalry.
The topmost needle-like cone-shaped armor-piercing arrow rushed straight towards the heavy cavalry, and because the two were in a state of hedging, the impact caused by it had a large bonus, and from time to time, the conical armor-piercing arrow pierced through the fish scale armor on the heavy cavalry, bringing up a splash of blood. The heavy cavalry who was shot fell off his horse, and he probably wouldn't have died at the time, but the horses would have trampled him alive.
No one would pull the reins for this, and the knights would just rush over with blank faces, just as the cone-shaped armor-piercing arrows that had not pierced their bodies with cold-forged fish-scale armor slashed through them with a series of rubbed sparks, and even their helmets could not move them.
His cold eyes seemed to be a dead man.
On the day of training to become knights, the instructors repeatedly told them not to fall off their horses, especially when charging in groups, because there are more knights behind you, and the horses that don't have time to stop will trample people into flesh, even if you are wearing heavy armor.
The instructors also said that it was forbidden not to stop while charging.
There is no life in the face of the ban. The knights abide by this rule and never violate it.
The riding spear in his hand was still firmly held flat.
