Chapter 66: Two Hundred Steps of the Last Line of Defense
The mood of the werewolf commander is not very good, the canine soldiers are the strongest among the half-orcs, they are good at defense, the infantry line composed of canine heavy infantry can even resist the impact of the bear heavy infantry, they are just werewolves, and they are all light armored infantry, they completely rely on the advantage of numbers to chase here, when they came out, there were nearly eighty people, and now although they have killed half of the other party's soldiers, they have also lost half of the people on their side, and the addition of those humans makes the commander inexplicably irritable, for a while, he even feels that he will fail。
But now, he feels that he has the chance to win, the uninterrupted pressure on the central front makes the canines unbearable, they are constantly retreating, although the human archers are troublesome, but the lethality is really not good, the werewolves should bypass from both sides with the rain of arrows, even if there are a few casualties, it can be bearable.
He ordered: "The first squad is to the left, the second squad is to the right, and the third and fourth squads continue to press from the center!" The adjutant said to the commander: "My lord, then you have no one to defend here!"
"Do you think I'm in any danger? Do you think they still have the strength to sneak up on me?" the commander asked, pointing to the two men in the cart opposite.
The adjutant didn't say anything, he also left the command position, because he also believed that they could not be attacked by the opposite side, and he was going to go to the front line to command the battle, and it was enough to have a commander in office.
It's just that he didn't notice that fifty paces away from them, there were two pairs of small eyes on the left and right looking at them suspiciously, until the adjutant commander and the werewolf readjusted the formation and prepared to attack the two wings.
These two are the two brothers of the Hou family, they are prostrate on the ground, although this is the downwind, but at a distance of fifty steps, with the nose of the werewolf, the two of them will definitely be found, but now on the frontal battlefield, there are humans in the same position participating in the battle, so the smell they emit, the commander of the werewolf thought that it was from those humans on the frontal front.
But the frontal front is constantly retreating, and if they can't find a chance to attack, then they have to retreat with them, because if they continue to stay here, then the smell of their bodies is too abrupt.
However, at this time, a self-righteous order of the werewolf commander completely exposed himself to the Hou brothers, and the werewolf commander felt that someone was staring at him, and this danger signal was a feeling similar to his sixth sense that he had cultivated for many years, but the human on the high platform in front of him made him curious, or rather, he thought that the danger signal was sent from that human.
He saw the bow in the man's hand, although the bow he thought could not shoot four hundred paces away, but nothing was absolute, he still thought that the man was his biggest threat, so he would never step within four hundred steps from the man, as if to prove his right, the man's bow was put away, and he had a crossbow glowing with blue light in his hand, and after the man changed his hand to a crossbow, the danger signal he felt was even stronger, yes, it was this guy who brought endless pressure to himself.
He saw that the assault on the two wings had begun, and nearly twenty werewolves broke away from the central battle training and attacked the two wings, but the result was much more than he expected, the crossbow in the hand of the man on the high platform actually fired at least twenty crossbow arrows to the right wing without stopping, and there were only less than ten people on that side.
The werewolves who were hit by the arrows were either dead or wounded, and retreated in embarrassment, and no more than five people returned to the central front, and one or two people were lying on the right flank groaning in pain, and they had lost their combat effectiveness.
The werewolf commander didn't know why, his hands actually trembled, this has never happened in his decades of combat career, I don't know if he is angry or timid, he can't say clearly, he needs to stabilize his emotions, fortunately, he still has the strength of nearly thirty people in his hands, the left flank has just retreated, only the wounded and not killed, it's okay.
It seemed that the adjutant was going to organize another assault, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, which he had stolen during the raids in human territory, he took out one and put it in his mouth, felt for a match, and swiped it three times before lighting the match, but his hand was shaking and he did not light a cigarette for a long time.
Suddenly, his hand was not shaking, because what was he looking at in the corner of his right eye? He turned his head to the right, and there was a crossbow bolt flying towards him, what? Why? Is there a human there? There are human snipers there?
It's a pity that his thinking is not over, he has already felt a chill on his left neck, a crossbow arrow has been shot from the left neck, the right neck pierced out, at this time, the right one has only shot into his right neck, and the fighting qi attached to the two crossbow arrows that crossed over completely destroyed his trachea and vocal cords, so that he could not make half a sound, and even breathing became a luxury.
His last thought was that if there was no crossbow arrow on the left, he should be able to avoid the one on the right! Unfortunately, there is no if in this world, the commander died in battle, but the werewolves on the front line don't know yet, they are still fighting to oppress the combined front of humans and canine people, and this front is so fragile that it is retreating, as long as he is given another heavy kick, it should collapse with a bang, but why don't they fall?
After seeing the commander of the werewolf over there fall, I shouted again: "Xiong Wen, push the defense line to 200 steps, order: everyone reorganize the defense line at the 200 step line! We will fight the werewolf at the 200 step line! The long-range striker shoots freely and shoots the werewolf accurately!"
Jin Rui was already surprised when I took out the crossbow, after seeing that I didn't hang the string at all, and after the continuous firing of the arrow, he just swallowed his saliva with difficulty, just from this regiment commander's hand, they don't need to form an alliance with themselves at all, with this regiment leader's technology, as long as these humans can withstand a shock wave of werewolves, humans can leave most of the werewolves here, maybe humans will have a little loss, but, what is more worth than defeating the werewolves?
Xiong Wen almost reached the 200-step line with the joint front of humans and dogs, Xiong Wen brought the latest order, with the 200-step line as the end point of the defense, they will get the maximum cover of the archers, and Xiong Wen will become the core of the defense, for this he specially changed a full-size tower shield, he turned the tower shield sideways, rushed into the werewolf array with the strength of his whole body, and pushed the five or six werewolves back three or four steps.
The battle line stabilized at once, and the battle line between humans and canines spread out to both sides with the bear people as the center, and there was even a faint tendency to surround the werewolves. The adjutant doesn't know where the power of these non-stop canines comes from? It can't be that a human shield warrior joins to form a reversal of the situation, right? He needs the wisdom of the werewolf commander, and he looks at the commander's position, there is no one there!
