Chapter 382: The Barbarian's Counterattack
Genius 3 seconds to remember the website of this site [pen maze .]
The direct consequence of dozens of exploding fireballs and ice arrows exploding in the barbarian crowd was that the morale of the attacker was completely destroyed, and the damage caused by the wildly burning fireballs in the narrow space was actually limited, but the oxygen that was suddenly pumped out of the air after the song of ice and fire made those barbarians who had already consumed a lot of physical strength and blood only feel that their lungs were going to be pumped out.
The suffocation sensation in his chest squeezed his throat and nose, causing his heart to beat faster and bring even more fear, and when the second wave of magical chanting began to echo above the Spartacus mage, Glencel finally made the decision to retreat with great resentment.
"Withdraw the troops! Exit the valley! Reorganize the army and fight again!"
He roared like a madman, his two bright red eyes were about to bleed, maybe he was scared of being killed by the Spartacians, or maybe the narrow terrain at the bottom of the valley really did not allow the barbarians to fully unleash the power of the charge, in short, after Grantelle's order, the surging barbarians finally turned into a rear team and slowly retreated from the valley.
Although the Spartacians did not pursue, what also made the barbarians complain was that when they opened a certain distance from the enemy, the artillery array at the bottom of the valley began to roar shamelessly, and a large number of stones continued to collapse from the mountain walls on both sides with the explosion of nitroglycerin shells, seriously slowing down the barbarians' retreat and taking a large number of lives.
Until the last barbarian also withdrew from the valley, the first wave of the attack cost them more than five thousand lives, and the cost of the Spartacus army was only a tenth of that of the barbarians.
The good news, of course, is that they will no longer have to face the relentless fire of the musketeers during the next charge.
"How do you fight this battle!?How do you fight!?I watch our warriors fall one by one but can't even touch the enemy's edge, I hate it!"
Ahead of the regrouped barbarian army, Grantell roared like a mania, roaring and waving his sword, as if there was an invisible Spartacus in the air in front of him, and the fire of hatred was urging him to tear his enemies to pieces.
Shiva and Weir were silent, their situation was slightly better, but not good enough to match Grantchel's losses.
Shiva's Thunderbird Legion also fought fiercely after encountering the enemy's Sea Eagle Legion, and she quickly routed the enemy with a huge advantage in numbers and creature levels, but Grantelle's ground forces were not yet in a rout, so when Ilol left behind more than 200 corpses and fled north, she chose to pursue them.
However, not to mention the ability to fight in the air, only in terms of speed, the sea eagle is not much slower than the Thunderbird, plus Shiva is concerned about the battle in the valley, after not much victory, she still chose to return to support Grantell, but when she returned to the battlefield again, the valley was already full of corpses and the barbarian army was no longer able to fight.
Will's situation was similar to that of Shiva, although the orcs and cyclops under her command also had a numerical advantage and even firmly grasped the position on the top of the mountain, but when the mutual attack began, she was shocked to find that the enemy's range and firing power of even an ordinary archer was no less than that of the cyclops.
However, the top of the hill they chose to climb and occupy did not have any shelter, but the enemy's position was full of strange rocks and shelter, so it was very difficult for the barbarians to shoot.
But every time the Cyclops charged and tried to reach the enemy position for hand-to-hand combat, he was immediately hit by concentrated fire, and after dropping a dozen Cyclops corpses in succession, Will did not dare to bear this kind of loss again.
But what she didn't expect was that in the later magic battle, the enemy archer captain actually shot arrows while bombarding her, and she was almost injured by the enemy's arrow feathers when she was caught off guard, so after leaving two or three hundred corpses each, Will chose to retreat with a very narrow advantage.
But if you want to count by the quality of the sacrificial army, she actually didn't take advantage of the slightest, although the Cyclops is inferior to Beamon in terms of attack power, but the power it can exert in siege battles is far better than Beamon's - their strong brawn allows them to constantly attack the gates and towers with boulders, and a Cyclops is equivalent to a moving medium-sized catapult in a siege battle.
As an extremely important strategic force in the Barbarian army, the death of every Cyclops is very heavy for the Barbarians.
Tanan was about to die, the barbarians were leaderless, and when the flames of hatred were gradually extinguished under the heavy blow, the few remaining generals were full of confusion about the future, and for a time this wartime military meeting fell into endless silence.
"Destroy the valley!
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from behind the congregational generals.
"Block the mouth of the valley, bombard the mountain wall with all the catapults, and then mobilize all the battle mages in the army who have mastered the earth-shaking mountain shaking spell to destroy the valley together, and then throw rockets and flint into the valley, don't the Spartacians like to be shrunken turtles, then burn them to death in the turtle shell!"
"Gnison!
When she saw the appearance of the person who came, Shiva's beautiful face full of wild charm was suddenly filled with a look of rage.
"Why can't I be here? It is everyone's responsibility to avenge the leader, and I should take this responsibility as the person who was once the leader's most trusted!"
Gnison glared at the guards who stopped him, and under that stunning gaze, coupled with the fact that he was still there, what he said was reasonable, and for a moment the crowd dispersed like a tide to make way for him.
"If you can't fight, I'll fight!"
Running in the barbarian army, Hijiu Gnisson naturally has his own cronies, and when everyone shouted the slogan of revenge for the leader and frantically rushed to Spartacus's position, he was also immediately treated, because when he appeared in front of everyone, except for the blood stains all over his body that still looked oozing, in fact, there was not much serious problem in his body, of course, this was also deliberately done by him.
And after he took the lead like this, the eyes of the people around him looked at him with some of their old awe.
"If it weren't for you, how could Hag leave the enemy camp, and why did the leader bring troops to fight the Spartacians and eventually be killed, how could you still have the face to show up and want to command the army again!"
Shiva's patience in the face of Gnison's shamelessness has reached its limit, and she reprimands with merciless words.
"I admit that I don't know anyone about Haag, but what does he have to do with me when he rebelled against the leader and betrayed first, and slaughtered his compatriots later? Now that the leader has not avenged his vengeance, and Hag is the obvious enemy, what do you still want to do for him? And don't forget the humiliation of the Bait League, even without Haag, we would have been at odds with the Spartacus!"
What Shiva didn't expect was that Gnison frankly admitted his mistake about Haag, but he simply avoided the important and light, and took advantage of the leader's hatred and the humiliation of the Bait League to beat himself upside down, even if there was all the anger in his heart, he couldn't find any words to refute it, first of all, Lear had personally admitted that he did it, and this alone could not be hidden in any case.
Seeing that Shiva had nothing to say, a hint of triumph flashed in Gnison's eyes, but he did not continue to entangle with the other party, and after a few steps, he looked around at the surrounding generals, and found that in addition to Shiva still glaring at him, the others, including Croling, Grantell and Will, had no rejection of him, and even faintly had a little awe in it.
After all, he had been in the barbarian army for too long, and now the leader of the new barbarian army was lacking the backbone and suffered a huge setback, and at this time he was able to stand up and provoke the beam, although it is not said that everyone expects it, but at least in terms of resistance.
"Since there is no objection, the order is sent down, the catapult comes forward, prepares the fire oil boulder to attack the valley, and transfers the ghost beast and the Beamon giant beast to choke the valley mouth, and gathers all the battle mages who have mastered the shaking of the earth and the mountains, and avenges the leader!"
At this moment, Gnison seemed to regain the feeling of being dominant in the army, and when he finished his last sentence, the barbarian camp was neutral, and there was a tsunami-like response, and dozens of heavy catapults slowly moved to the front of the Crimean valley with a huge roar and heavy trumpet, while hundreds of orcs and big-eared monsters were constantly pouring fire oil on the boulders in the net, waiting for Gnison to give the order to launch a crazy revenge on the Spartacus in the Crimean valley.
