Chapter 116: Qinghe City is broken
On Qinghe City, the sound of killing shook the sky.
It has been four days since Zaitsev led his troops to storm the city of Qinghe, and today it has been storming for half a day. The human race relied on the strength of the people, and used the method of fighting for life, and repelled the elves three times to the city, for which they also paid the price of more than 20,000 deaths, and the elves also suffered heavy losses, with more than 10,000 casualties, and an average of two human soldiers for one elven soldier. Such a rate of battle losses was only seen in Zaitsev's battles in previous campaigns.
Elven soldiers have strong individual combat ability, and they are all advanced professionals, while most of the Terran soldiers are ordinary people or beginner professionals, according to the normal death rate, an elf soldier can be exchanged for three or four Terran soldiers, so the Terran is now very profitable to exchange one for two.
But even so, Darwin and Scurry still couldn't laugh.
Instead, they were going to cry.
The two corps commanders knew Zaitsev's style of play very well, and in a battle like this that could not be attacked for a long time, he would immediately send a big killing weapon.
And he did send it.
The sound of the earth clanging announced to everyone what a terrible thing was in action.
A huge tree appears on the battlefield.
"Damn it, War Tree Man!" Darwin hurried back to command to announce the ominous news.
"I knew that Zaitsev couldn't sit still. Scurry slammed the map on the table in front of him, shaking the glass of water that was pressed on it.
"Immediately activate the war puppets and steel golems in the city, and in addition, send a message for help like the royal city. Go now!"
"Yes!" the lieutenant gave a military salute and hurried away.
The War Tree Man, a war weapon cultivated by the elven clan, is as high as the walls of Qinghe City, and this thing is simply the best choice for conquering the city. The main thing is, this thing is alive!
"Ahh
The War Treant roared, and his body shook. Countless blades flew out like arrows, densely packed, obscuring the sky. These blades are so sharp and toxin-laden that they can hurt and kill when touched. The Terran soldiers on the upper floor of Qinghe City suddenly fell in large numbers.
"Shield wall, shield wall, shield wall!" the officers yelled. One tower shield was erected to block behind the battlements to prevent another wave of blade storms of the War Treemen.
The surviving Terran soldiers shivered behind the shield wall. War destroys not only lives, but also human hearts, and perhaps, years later, the surviving soldiers will wake up in their sleep and then remember this horrific scene.
The War Treant Blade Storm seemed to only be used once, and after it was released, it was not shot again, and the Terran soldiers behind the shield were driven out from behind the shield by their respective officers and continued to fight.
Siege warfare is so dangerous, due to a wave of blade storms of the war treemen, the elves have a great opportunity to attack, and in this short period of time, dozens of elves have climbed the city wall and fought with the Terran soldiers.
"Earthquake!"
A magician of the mage group used a medium-level magic "earthquake technique" with a magic counterattack, and the foot of the castle tower in Qinghe City began to shake violently, and the elf ladder car could not withstand such a strong shaking, plus the ladder needed to be built very long, so after a few shakes, the ladder car fell apart.
The elven magician didn't expect that the human magician would actually use magic on his city wall, so he didn't stop it, and this small negligence caused the loss of all the ladder cars.
After unleashing the "earthquake technique", the magician fell directly from mid-air and fell unconscious.
This desperate magic shot left the Terrans with time to breathe, and the dozens of elven soldiers did not have a steady stream of follow-up comrades-in-arms to support, and soon the entire army was wiped out, and the Terrans once again repelled the elven attack.
Without the ladder car, the elves could not ascend the city again for a while, and the Terran soldiers defending the city breathed a deep sigh of relief.
In the operations command room, Darwin and Scurry's expressions were not good-looking.
"War Golems and Iron Golems have been sent, six War Golems and ten Steel Golems, but these are not enough to fight the Elven War Treants, unless we have Legendary Mages or 'Fortress' Golems. Scurry said.
"Well, the elves have war tree people, they won't give up the siege, it seems that Qinghe City is about to be broken, you let people evacuate the people in the city. After Darwin finished speaking, it was as if he had lost all his strength, and he was ten years old out of thin air.
"Good. "Scurry also knew that the city could not be defended, and as soon as the War Tree Man appeared, any defense would be wishful thinking without the same level of war equipment.
"Leave two steel golems to follow, and tell the troops to prepare to abandon the city and retreat. Darwin said to the adjutant again.
"Yes!" the adjutant nodded, and went to inform in a hurry.
It didn't take long for the elves to launch an attack, and Qinghe City opened the city defense spell shield, but the previous gap was destroyed because of the spell array engraved in the city wall, and the spell shield could not be activated.
The War Treant began to slap the walls with their huge branches, but they were firmly blocked by the city's defense spell shield, but this defense did not last long. The energy of the city defense spell shield is limited, and it can't be stopped for too long, so you can only take advantage of this time to evacuate immediately, fortunately, the people in the city have already fled, and it is not difficult for the rest to evacuate.
Boom! Boom!
The War Tree Man slapped the city wall vigorously, and the blue spell shield was struck with a little ripple and ripple, but it was still tough, but looking at its lighter and lighter color, you could tell that the spell shield was almost at its limit.
Two Terran legions are organizing a retreat.
"Hurry up, destroy all the cannons and crossbows, we can't use them, and we must not let the enemy use them!" the officers instructed their men to destroy the city's anti-aircraft cannons and bed crossbows, and made sure that no one was left behind.
On the bank of the Qing River outside the south city gate, warships were ready, and soldiers gathered on the boats like flowing water, and then crossed the river.
Darwin was glad that the city of Clear River had enough boats for two legions to cross the river at one time, otherwise many people might have died just by retreating.
The soldiers had planted explosives, destroyed all the large weapons, and set fire to the armory and granary, hoping that this would serve as a modest deterrent.
The city defense spell shield finally couldn't hold on to the War Treeman's attack, and shook under a few violent attacks, and then came to naught. The elven army rushed up to the castle tower and exchanged the Thorn Flower Banner of the Seth Kingdom for the Elven World Tree Banner. They cheered and jumped for joy, celebrating their victory.
Countless elves poured in through the gap in the wall, and a Terran veteran took one last look at the wall, then turned his head back.
Behind him, the fireworks were brilliant......
