Chapter Ninety-Five: The First Battle
The chief knight laughed and said, "Don't complain, the city is dominated by the garrison regiment, and if you don't rely on crossbow arrows, what do you rely on?" Although the trolls are naturally powerful, they have no fighting spirit, and they can still withstand it, and after this wall can't stop it, we will retreat." ”
When the trolls were ready, they went on the attack.
Because the ramp is so wide, the three thousand or so trolls can only be divided into thirty rows, and the trolls in the front row of them are still holding wooden shields, but the shields are larger and denser, and at the beginning of the second row, there are ten trolls carrying a huge wooden row to attack the wall, and the front part of the wooden row has a natural hook angle formed by the branches.
The rest of the trolls hung iron-clad sticks on their backs, held wooden shields, and held a stone throwing axe, which was not sharp enough to be equal to a flying stone.
This time they used the Stone Skin Technique at the beginning, and then they howled in unison and charged.
Luo Fei immediately shouted: "Second stage shooting, shooting!" Since there are only one hundred trolls in a row, and the depth is long, it is better to have fewer sections to be more effective, anyway, you can't shoot a few times.
The arrows were like flying locusts, and the trolls screamed like roars, burying their heads in their lives and rushing towards the earthen wall, and constantly being shot by the arrows, falling to the ground screaming, trampled to death by their companions.
After a few waves of arrows, the troll got very close, and Luo Fei shouted, "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
The warriors immediately changed into shields and long weapons, and only the sharpshooters on the arrow tower were still shooting, using bows and arrows.
Ten priests formed a small formation, around the holy magician, they chanted the incantation together, a huge ring formed by white light spread out from the arrow tower, the ring swept over all the warriors, and the warrior's body shimmered, this is the power of the holy art.
Regardless of the casualties, the trolls had already hit the distance of more than twenty meters of the earthen wall, at this time, the trolls in the back row roared one after another, and threw out the stone axes in their hands, almost two thousand stone axes flew towards the warriors on the earthen wall like a dense stone rain, but the warriors were well-equipped, and their alloy shields easily blocked these large stones, making a loud bang, only occasionally a few unlucky ghosts were hit by their bodies, injured, and soft on the ground.
The siege platoons were already erected on the earthen wall, and the trolls drew their sticks and quickly stepped on the rafts to slam upward, facing a long row of gleaming metal shields and the sharp peaks of long weapons emerging from between them.
Luo Fei's warriors didn't have time to push off the wooden platoons, and they didn't destroy them with their fighting spirit, so there was no point, it was better to keep their strength and kill a few more trolls with a condescending advantage. It's like this on the battlefield, except when it's critical, and generally no one will use the ultimate move stupidly.
Luo Fei shouted: "We are born great, and bravery is our heavenly surname, kill!" but he himself shrank behind.
"Boom" made a loud noise, the two sides collided together, roaring, shouting, scolding, the sound of weapons entering the flesh continued to sound, although the trolls were strong and powerful, but the personal guards had a fighting spirit, and the strength was not weak, and the strong ones also emitted a sharp and small fighting spirit from the tip of the axe from time to time, causing killing.
Originally, the formation of the warriors was very stable, they shrunk their bodies, and their shields were dense, like a stone turtle formation, but those stone axes were not very lethal, but they all fell on the city wall, and the warriors accidentally stepped on it, and the sliding under their feet was certain.
Fortunately, there were sharpshooters and priests in the arrow tower, and when they saw that the formation was loose, they immediately shot a few arrows over, or a few small magic attacks, to prevent the trolls there from killing and stabilizing the formation.
Blood splattered everywhere on the earthen walls, and the trolls were killed and wounded in large numbers, but the warriors also suffered many casualties, and about thirty warriors fell under the trolls' big wooden sticks, and once the gaps were exposed, the fighting spirit and armor could not withstand the blow of such a big stick.
The trolls are crazy, the earthen walls are full of wooden sticks waving, they rely on their height, condescendingly smashing the sticks, these trolls are often stabbed once, they do not immediately slump, they can still fight for a while, until they are stabbed a second time, they are stabbed a third time, they fall down, roll down the wooden rafts.
The battle was so fierce that the marksmen couldn't shoot arrows, and the priest's holy power was almost exhausted.
As soon as Luo Fei saw that the support of the arrow tower was gone, he immediately shouted: "Counterattack!
The warriors suddenly roared in unison, and all of them burst out with a fighting spirit, and hundreds of dazzling white lights flashed, and the tide-like trolls seemed to suddenly hit the cliff, and they scattered one after another.
The warriors took the opportunity to push the boulder, and the wooden row became an accomplice, and the boulder rolled down the wooden row, and the trolls below used large wooden sticks to resist, with their strength, several trolls worked together, but they were able to resist a boulder, but there were still many hands and feet that were broken.
This is because the stones are very irregular, the drop is not large, and there are corpses between the wooden rafts, and the momentum is not ideal.
Luo Fei saw that there was time and shouted, "Push down the wooden chop!"
The warriors worked in groups of five, shouting, pushing the heavy wooden rafts down.
The troll's assault was completely thwarted.
When the troll leader saw that the casualties were so large, his heart ached, and there were many boulders in front of the earthen wall, and those wooden rows were pushed down one after another, so he had to let his trolls beat the leather drum and order a retreat.
The trolls roared, their wooden shields in retreat.
Luo Fei ordered: "Crossbow, shoot freely at the target in front of you!"
The trolls retreated under the threat of crossbow arrows, and when they returned to the top of the hill, they dropped a hundred more corpses.
Blood was everywhere on the earthen walls, blood was stained on the armor and shields of the warriors, the undead trolls were still wailing, and the wounded warriors were screaming in pain, and the scene was miserable.
The troll leader screamed a few times, waving a wooden club, he was obviously mad, this encounter, he lost more than three hundred trolls, plus those who were killed by crossbows, almost more than five hundred trolls have been explained here.
However, Luo Fei's losses were not small, and the disadvantage of height made it difficult for the soldiers to avoid being attacked by big sticks, and more than fifty knights were stoned to death, and dozens of them were injured, all of whom were wounded.
Seeing that the trolls were cutting down trees again, Luo Fei kicked away a stone axe and said, "Clean up these damn rocks, gather the oil, and wait for their next attack, we will shoot arrows, then light the wooden rafts under the wall, and shoot arrows again, and try to kill more." Also, pull some wooden rafts up to make a putt. ”
The knight chief listened and said: "My lord, it's better to wait for the warriors to get tired and set fire, there are many trolls, the attack surface is narrow, and the effect of killing more is the same, and we have to save some fuel, trolls are not good at extinguishing fires and the like." ”
Luo Fei was surprised: "Didn't I say that just now? Oh, maybe it was a slip of the tongue." ”
The chief knight rolled his eyes and went to give the order.
The priests began to pray, restore their spirits, and then treat the wounded with their bones.
The leader of the troll clan had calmed down, his blood-red round eyes stared, his fangs bared, and he shouted in an urn voice: "Pull the whole clan over, let the old people attack the wall, it's time for them to fight for the future of their descendants, all the children will make wooden rafts, and get a few big crashing logs." ”
The troll clan has combat power, almost half of the whole clan, and they still have more than a thousand old people and thousands of children in the rear, and their habit is to fight with the whole clan.
After that, the trolls attacked again, and they were cruel, relying on the old man's death to exhaust Luo Fei's ranged weapons, but their stone axes were also thrown clean.
Simple wood striking had little effect, so the battlefield turned into hand-to-hand combat.
The troll leader saw that the passage was still narrower, and the two sides were dug into trenches, hand-to-hand combat, so there was no need to press them all, he divided the people into three waves, and the old men who did not die were still mixed in them, trying to use wheel warfare to consume Luo Fei's warrior strength.
Luo Fei's warriors have also died more than a hundred, but they all have a fighting spirit, and they can always fight a troll before they die. The troll's wheel battle, but it was in Luo Fei's arms, he pressed all the fighters every time, but privately ordered the warriors to take turns to rest, only more than a hundred fighters were fighting, so that the trolls were completely confused, they were entangled like this, the warriors were tired, Luo Fei took a fire and rested.
After a few times, the troll leader came to his senses, but he didn't have any good way, after killing so many people, the food of the troll clan was enough, so he simply attacked like this, retreated, and attacked again. When the soldiers were tired, they rested, and he ordered the trolls to build a rudimentary camp on the top of the hill. He decided to consume it slowly, his idea was that anyway, Grand Duke Maitz was activating, and the Terran bastards on the other side would definitely last long, so wouldn't their city have to be defended?
After the two sides had no long-range weapons and did not attack hard, the daily casualties on both sides added up to more than a dozen people.
Of course, Luo Fei didn't dare to attack, just consume it, anyway, he was not afraid, his warriors would die at most one or two a day, but the other party would die a dozen, according to this ratio, he could also defend.
The trolls, better armoured, wielding long clubs across the plains and hedging against the cavalry, are now firmly confined to this small ramp.
The trolls were launched early, but Edmund was slightly delayed by a day, as his army was about to complete its build-up.
When the Oro River flowed into the Edmund Pavel Territory, it was renamed the River Sein, which ran through the city of Pavel, and the area along the river in the city was a gathering place for the nobles and wealth.
Not far from the main fort of Pavel, there is an ancient mansion by the river, its outer wall is paved with ivory white fluorite, the walls are divided, the arches, and the window lintels are carved with beautiful flowers, but the outer wall is a little dirty when you look closely, and there are many faint black traces that cannot be washed.
One of the walls of the residence was covered with vines until it covered the roof.
The magic fountain in the garden was sprayed continuously, but the appearance of the sculptures between the fountains was already a little mottled and broken, just like the carvings on the buildings, and many places on the stone path of the garden were covered with magic moss.
