1068. Battle of the Valley

Even in May, snow still covers the entire mountain, the northernmost part of the Gampo Plane.

Further north is the Barrier Mountains, which rise like a high wall at the northernmost point of the Ganbu plane, and to the south of the cadre plane is a gradually crumbling cliff that can see the abyss that extends to the bottom of the plane, and to the north is this ice wall that blocks everything.

The place where the aborigines live in seclusion is a valley in a snow-capped mountain.

In the snowy mountains, the lower terrain is slightly warmer, and the snow in the valleys here only melts in June, revealing some of the ice moss in the mountains, and the plants here only grow for a short period of two months, and in early September they are covered with snow and ice.

The demon army is entering the Ganbu plane through the three demon gates in the valley.

For the Bena Alliance, the further it drags on, the stronger the demon army will become.

The first priority is to destroy the Demon Gates hidden in the valley, but these three Demon Gates are set up in the deepest caves in the valley, and are under the protection of the Demon Legion.

This group of natives has been operating the valley for nearly a hundred years, and has established numerous outposts in the valley, with the demon army of crypt warriors, hellhounds, and demon minions, and the flame Gog scattered throughout the valley's main paths.

If the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry regiments of the Bena coalition wanted to storm the valley, they had to follow the only mountain pass in the valley and capture the outposts one by one, which obviously required a great price.

……

On the 14th of May, Surdak waited for twenty catapults to reach the entrance to the valley.

The soldiers of the infantry regiment pushed ten catapults onto the hillside in front of the first outpost, and the hoplite regiment rushed out of the camp and put up a shield wall in front of the catapults, and then the craftsmen of the catapult battalion fixed the catapults on the snow slopes, and all the catapults were loaded with flints, and the first few times they needed to be test-fired, and the throwing of the catapults was further calibrated.

The heavy cavalry in the camp had already dressed their horses in heavy armor, but they had not yet reached the battlefield, and they were waiting in the camp for the next order.

The constructed swordsmen in the barracks did not have a battle plan.

They were fine, just outside the camp in demonic uniforms, watching from afar from the rear of the battlefield.

The soldier who operated the catapult adjusted the direction and angle of the throw, and raised the flag in his hand to indicate that everything was ready, and then the starter blew the whistle in his mouth, and all the soldiers bent down to light the flint, and when the flint flame was burning, the starter shouted again:

"Ready...... Put! ”

At the end of the first round, the flints with smoke and flames pierced the sky, and twenty flints threw a perfect parabola, and on the battlefield in Samp Town, these warriors who controlled the catapult threw thousands of flints, and in terms of throwing accuracy, they could accurately hit the target after shooting three shots.

Seeing the first round of flint scattered all over the sentry post, the last one only flying out of the sentry post by grazing the earthen wall of the sentry post, the demon minions in the circular sentry let out a deafening cheer.

They were surrounded by a herd of hellhounds, apparently their contractual companions, the demon servants of the aborigines, all with spears and bows and arrows, and wearing animal skin armor, who howled in the face of the phalanx of the hoplite infantry regiment.

More than 100 Flame Gog stood at the top of the sentry post, all with flames in their hands, but they didn't seem to be able to adapt to the cold weather, and a group of Gog held fireballs with their heads in their hands, and everyone huddled together to keep warm.

The dense forest at the mountain pass on either side of the sentry post was crowded with hellhounds and demonic minions.

A second round of flint was thrown, and a firebomb landed behind the sentry post, this time with a deafening cheer from the demonic minions hiding in the mountains.

By the time the third round of flint had failed again, the demon minions and hellhounds of the jungle had already poured out, standing on a high hill at the level of the sentry post, stepping on the thick snow above, and a group of demon minions cheered and jumped on it, and the hellhounds let out a long low roar.

In the cold snowy mountains, the lava veins of these hellhounds have disappeared, leaving only a black, mottled skin.

It can be seen that neither Hellhound nor Flame Gog are well adapted to the ice and snow environment.

In the fourth round of throwing, twenty flints accurately hit the sentry post, and the flame Gege on the top layer of the sentry post was smashed by this wave of flint to the bone and tendons, and the top layer of the sentry post collapsed instantly, and the flame Gege fell from the top of the sentry post.

There was chaos inside the outpost......

The flint finally exerted its due power, and the commander standing at the height of the military formation shouted again: "Fifth round...... Preparation...... Put! ”

Under the bombardment of flint, the earthen wall on the east side of the sentry post at the mountain pass collapsed, and the demon minions found that if they stood in the mountain pass, they could only be beaten passively.

So they picked up the weapons in their hands one after another, and shouted a few words of indigenous language to the demon servants around them, and all the demon servants were aroused, and they let out a roaring cry from their mouths, and the dense hell dogs around them rushed out of the mountain pass.

At this time, the commander in the army formation hurriedly raised a longbow in his hand and shouted: "Longbowmen prepare to ......"

Behind the formation of the hoplite regiment stood two rows of archers, by which time the archers had almost fully drawn their longbows.

When the group of demonic minions running at the front came into range, the legion commander finally shouted:

"Put!"

A dense rain of arrows fell into the camp of the demon minions, and a large number of demon minions were shot over in an instant.

The hellhound beside the demon servant suddenly accelerated, and suddenly burst out of the crowd, lying on the tower shield with its front paws, reaching out for a bloody mouth to bite the neck of the shield warrior.

A neat row of spears emerged from behind, and the hellhounds were stabbed to death by spears.

The demonic minions who were mixed with the hellhounds had also rushed up, and the mouth of the valley suddenly fell into a scuffle.

This kind of battlefield is like a meat grinder, only the continuous injection of troops can stop the decline, as the number of demonic minions pouring out of the mountain pass continues to increase, the heavy infantry regiment also needs to continue to join the army, and the battlefield continues to extend outward.

The twenty catapults behind the army formation were the magic weapon for attacking the sentry post.

The hoplite regiment needed to make sure they weren't destroyed in the battle, Hellhound pounced on a shield warrior, and the spear warriors behind immediately squeezed up and stabbed Cerberus through the body, and the hellhound in the back pounced on him, and the hoplite warrior and Hellhound in front rolled together in the snow, and the shield wall was torn out several large holes.

I didn't expect these hellhounds to seem to have changed their personalities, and they would rush into battle desperately.

When he was in Samp Town, the hellhounds in the demon army were not as brave as they are now.

The commander of the heavy infantry regiment hesitated for a moment, and the first shield wall was broken through by the hellhounds, and although the shield warriors behind tried desperately to plug the gap, they still killed and wounded dozens of heavy infantry soldiers.

The hellhounds at the exit of the valley are like a raging river, rushing towards the battlefield below.

Those aboriginal demon minions also rushed into the battlefield, although the weapons in their hands were not as good as the weapons and equipment of the hoplite infantry regiment, but they were able to communicate with the hellhounds, and with their assistance, the hellhounds frequently pounced into the military formation, causing a lot of chaos.

This time, Surdak prepared two heavy infantry regiments with a total of 3,000 reserves on the battlefield, and all of them were thrown into the battlefield for a while, but they still did not gain an advantage in strength.

The two-headed ogre stood like a mainstay in the center of the formation, and the hellhounds that died at his feet formed a small mountain.

When the heavy cavalry heard the whistle of the assembly, all the heavy cavalry took off their heavy cloaks and mounted their green horses with the help of the auxiliaries.

A group of heavy cavalry came out of the camp, and they were like sharp arrows, killing the battlefield a kilometer away.

Twenty catapults no longer threw flint, and there was no need to continue destroying the sentry posts in the pass, so they changed the flint into black powder kegs, lit them and threw them out one by one, and the powder kegs continued to explode at the entrance to the valley, and countless hellhounds were blown out.

The swordsmen in the armor who were watching the battle at the gate of the camp almost dropped their jaws when they saw this scene.

No one expected that it was just a tentative attack, and it was actually involved in six heavy armored infantry regiments in an instant, if it weren't for a second-turn powerhouse at the front of the military formation, I am afraid that this heavy armored infantry regiment that formed the first shield wall had already been swallowed by the hellhounds and demon servants at this moment.

They didn't expect the Hellhound Legion in the valley to fight so decisively, but the corpses were still scattered all over the ground.

When the hoplite regiment was slanted into the rear of the battlefield from the flanks, there was already a row of Flame Gog standing at the entrance of the valley, and although some arrows rained down, taking some of the Fire Gog's life, the surviving Fire Gog also threw fireballs onto the battlefield.

From afar, I saw that the battlefield was plunged into a melee, and one fireball after another fell into the battlefield.

Several squadron leaders of the Constructed Swordsman Regiment walked into the barracks together, and found the Chester Great Swordsman in the headquarters, and everyone stepped forward at the same time:

"Chester Great Swordsman, the First (2) Constructed Swordsman Regiment has asked you to fight, please let us go and clean up those Gogs in the back."

"That's a mission for the mage group......"

The Great Swordsman of Chester raised his head, lifted the helmet on his head, and said to several squadron leaders under him.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a dense explosion in the distance, and a group of squadron leaders hurriedly ran out, and saw two teams of magicians riding magic handles appear in the sky, and the magicians led by him shot a series of fireballs, and the magicians who followed him also frequently threw large fireballs, and the mountain pass of the valley suddenly fell into a sea of fire.

The series of falling fireballs was so eye-catching on the battlefield.

In the sound of fireballs exploding one after another, a row of Gog was engulfed in flames......
