Chapter 29: The Fall of the Howling Moon (3)
"Resist! Resist me! The third brigade, give me a counter-charge, bow and crossbow team, gather fire to cover, and suppress the group of miscellaneous people on the opposite side!"
On the bloody battlefield, the commander of the Bloodhoof Army roared loudly, and the rough voice of the Minotaur echoed throughout the battlefield. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the words of the Minotaur command fell, the eastern defense line gave way to an opening, and a group of heavily armored Minotaur warriors charged like war beasts.
Under the cover of the rune crossbow arrows in the rear, the minotaurs in pitch-black heavy armor rushed into the battlefield, and they swung the battle axes in their hands, and the rune marks attached to the battle axes made these rune blades extremely sharp, and they could directly cut through the armor on the opposite side.
As for the Howling Moon Tribe on the other side, their attack fell on the hideous pitch-black heavy armor, but it only made a sound of metal clashing, and it couldn't hurt the rushing minotaur in the slightest.
Under the roaring rain of arrows, the third group of minotaurs was like a torrent of steel, crushing the enemy in front of them.
The battle has been going on for nearly two hours, and the Howling Moon Tribe's counterattack is very fierce.
When the Howling Moon Cavalry could not deploy and accelerate, the tribe launched a breakthrough in a disadvantage, and even Baron was dragged by a snow-white old werewolf of the Howling Moon Tribe.
At an absolute disadvantage, the cavalry that the Howling Moon Tribe was most proud of could not fight, so they simply let the wolf as a war beast, and the cavalry turned into infantry to attack the defense line.
Wang Xiaotian stood in the distance, looking at the battlefield where the Bloodhoof Army had a clear advantage, and his mood gradually relaxed.
Because, just yesterday evening, the strategic weapons troops of Gray Stone City had already arrived at the Startu Hills, which made Wang Xiaotian's hanging heart half relieved.
And the abnormal behavior of the Xiaoyue tribe has gradually let go of the other half of his heart.
"My lord, from yesterday to now, this Howling Moon Tribe has attacked the position four times in a row, and each time it is more ferocious than the last. ”
Toure, who was observing the battlefield from the side, whispered to Wang Xiaotian, his tone full of incomprehension about the Xiaoyue tribe's move to death.
With a chuckle, Wang Xiaotian looked at the gradually clear battle situation, and said slowly: "Because Xiaoyue's food is not enough! The fire the night before yesterday should have burned their food reserves, otherwise they would not have fought back so hard to break through." ”
Thinking of the four breakthroughs, each more tragic than the last, Wang Xiaotian had a hunch that tomorrow would be the day of the fall of the Xiaoyue tribe.
Listening to Wang Xiaotian's words, Toure understood a little, this Xiaoyue tribe should have no food, otherwise they would not have attacked the defense line so fiercely.
You must know that last night, they raided twice, and lost nearly a thousand people.
Remembering last night's two raids, Toure shuddered.
The first raid, the main force is the subordinate tribe of the Howling Moon tribe, the Eliza Cat People, which is a natural scout race, light movements, dark black hair, all indicate the talent of the Ilisa Cat People scout.
In the dark of night, the main force is the five hundred hyena branch oakbeth dogs, they are armed with spears, and they attack the bloodhoof army head-on, this kind of hyena branch orcs, not as tall as the mastiffs, but slightly higher than humans, they are the best hunters in the mountains and forests, and they have exquisite skills for spears.
When the Bloodhoof Army met it head-on, two hundred Elisa catmen took advantage of the night and quietly touched the edge of the battlefield, preparing to carry out a roundabout sneak attack, fortunately, Wang Xiaotian arranged a part of the dark fire scouts to wander around the battlefield, otherwise letting these catmen close to the defense line will not cause a large-scale collapse, but at least it will create some chaos.
The second raid was before dawn, when the first raid was over and the Bloodhoof Army was relaxed, the five hundred howling moon werewolves directly killed a horse pistol. This time, Wang Xiaotian was directly ruthless and took out the strategic weapon that arrived at dusk.
A full fifty "god-destroying crossbows" and ten "moon-bladed chariots" recklessly carried out a coverage-level firepower strike to stabilize the defensive line.
After that, Wang Xiaotian ordered the Bloody Hoof Army to take turns to change guards, and the Dark Fire Scout monitored the movement twenty-four hours a day.
Although he thwarted two attacks, Wang Xiaotian almost figured out the combat power of the Xiaoyue tribe from these two attacks.
According to the intelligence of the goats, there are more than 8,000 orcs in the Howling Moon Tribe, among which the subordinate tribes of the Howling Moon tribe also live in the mountains, and according to the two nights of fighting, Wang Xiaotian has probably figured out their combat strength.
The Werewolves of the Howling Moon, as the main powerful tribe, their warrior equipment is generally better, and even the weapons are weapons that have been enchanted from another world, but the equipment of the Bloodhoof is still slightly inferior. And their subordinate tribes are mostly soldiers who rely on talent and skill to fight, and their equipment is still at the level of medieval Europe, but this is also extraordinary. It shows the wealth that the Howling Moon Tribe has accumulated over the years.
Just as Wang Xiaotian was strengthening his defense, on the third counterattack this morning, the Howling Moon Werewolf gave him a surprise, an old werewolf with snow-white hair actually burst out with gold-level combat power, almost tearing through the defense line of the bloody hoof, but fortunately, Baron made a timely move.
At this time, Wang Xiaotian didn't dare to relax at all, and before the fourth counterattack, he made a strategic deployment.
Including the strategic base when he "hunted gold" last time, he urgently set up, and the puppet levitation balls have been quietly lifted into the air, and at this moment, the "True Eye" on the Startu Hills has been arranged.
Looking at the Xiaoyue tribe that had failed again in the distance and retreated, Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but pat Toure on the shoulder in a good mood and said: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, and the comrades still need to work hard! It seems that if they besiege for a few more days, they will not be able to survive and surrender!"
However, reality once again brought Wang Xiaotian a surprise.
"My lord, it's not good, our scouts have found traces of unknown troop scouts on the side of the Statu hills, but we found that this troop is hanging the banner of the Winter Wolf King!" Just when Wang Xiaotian was in a good mood, a soldier with an ink blade brought this bad news.
Hearing this, Wang Xiaotian's face became very ugly, and he asked, "How far is that unit from the Xiaoyue tribe's station, and how many people are there?"
"Less than 100 miles, according to the speed of their march, it is estimated that they can reach here in an hour, and there are a lot of people, roughly about 1,000 people. ”
Secretly scolded, originally thinking of grinding slowly, secretly taking down the Startu Hill, and giving the vanguard of the Winter Wolf King a surprise, but I didn't expect the Winter Wolf King's troops to arrive at this juncture. It's still a thousand-strong army, with the king's banner, this is either the elite of the Winter Wolf King, or the big man under him is coming.
"Damn, it's still a fart! Send the order, Bloodhoof Army, launch a full-scale attack for me! Ink Blade, except for the necessary scouts, send me out to attack the Howling Moon Tribe!"
Wang Xiaotian's eyes were red, the happy mood just now was long gone, thinking that the camp that could have been reached without spending a soldier was gone, this feeling of annoyance and anger made Wang Xiaotian almost vomit blood.
"Toure, you tell Baron, I will give him strategic fire support, you cooperate with him to storm from the east, south, and north, and the people who let Xiaoyue flee from the west!
Surrounded by three missing one, let Xiaoyue's people escape, occupy their station first, and then set up a position to fight with the Winter Wolf King's troops with real swords and guns.
"Listen to the order!Prepare to fight, cover the bloodhoof charge!"
Under Toure's solemn order, the sound of the ink blades collectively drawing their knives caused the temperature of the surrounding air to drop a little, and in the distance, one strategic rune weapon after another began to move, and all the troops put up an attack lineup.
"Kill!"
