Chapter 736: Overwhelming (4)
The dark elves who were fighting fiercely in front of them didn't know that there was a powerful man in the high realm who looked at them, and now the only thing these dark elves were thinking about was how to push that passage forward as soon as possible, only in this way could they get out of this damn situation.As the enemy of the dark elves, the Rakshasa demons certainly didn't want the dark elves to achieve their wishes, but their crossbow arrows seemed to be more and more powerless to achieve this goal under the advance of the dark elves completely regardless of life and death.
"Woo!" The Dark Elf Clan's privates, who were desperately carrying sandbags forward, suddenly heard this strange sound, but no one would care, let alone push away the shield on their heads, to observe why there was such a sound in the sky. However, it didn't take much effort on the part of these dark elves to guess, and after more than ten seconds, a large stone weighing hundreds of kilograms fell from the sky and fell into the crowd of dark elves.
The shield held high could block the crossbow bolts fired at close range, but it was impossible to stop the stones thrown by the Rakshasa Demon's stone thrower, and the dozens of Dark Elf warriors who bore the brunt of the attack were almost instantly killed, and then the boulder hit the ground and rolled forward for another distance, causing another lot of casualties.
"It's a stone-throwing cart, it's a Rakshasa demon's stone-throwing ......" The dark elf warrior who was lucky enough to escape from this attack pointed to the sky with a panicked face and shouted, because in his field of vision, there were many hundreds of kilograms of large stones whistling over, and the cry of this dark elf warrior was not completely finished, and he was smashed to the ground by another big stone that fell from the sky, only half of his lower limbs were exposed and twitched outside.
The projection of the head and head completely disrupted the dark elves' already tacit advance queue, and even the sturdy shield wall could not compete with the large stones thrown by the catapults, and as long as this tight defense was broken, the Rakshasa crossbow archers who were fighting on both sides of the passage would seize the opportunity to shoot more arrows through the exposed gaps, thus taking more lives from the dark elves.
With the launch of the Rakshasa crossbow archer, more and more dark elf warriors were killed by arrows, and the shield wall they formed showed signs of collapse, although the leader of the dark elves tried his best to restore his previous state, but his martial arts and the full set of Mithril armor on his body still could not protect himself from the impact of the boulder.
After the commander died on the battlefield, the dark elf warriors in front of the entire passage completely lost their command, and their casualty numbers increased rapidly, far exceeding the new blood added behind, so that the originally orderly scene fell into chaos, although the dark elf warriors knew very well that they could not mess up at this time, and they could not leave their posts without permission, but no matter how strong the warrior raised his shield, he could only block the arrows in a certain direction, and under the rain of arrows in the sky, these dark elves could not stand unharmed on their own strength alone, they could only retreat backwards, allowing arrows flying from unknown places to take the lives of their companions.
The biggest difference between the elite and the rout is that the former has extremely strong discipline, but now the discipline of these dark elves and their team formation have collapsed under the blows of catapults and crossbow shooters, and there is no way to organize an effective defense. Even if a few wanted to step forward and take the lead in reforming the shield wall, as soon as these dark elves showed the slightest sign of rally, they would be scattered by a new wave of large stones.
A new whistling sound came from the air overhead, but this time it was sharper and more urgent, making the heart of a bewildered dark elf warrior standing on the ground feel like ashes, and he raised his head to take another look at the world, only to find that the boulder that caused the sound cut a clear trajectory in mid-air and flew off into the distance, and its target was the nearest Rakshasa monster's stone throwing cart.
Tons of boulders smashed down heavily, although they didn't completely hit its target, but even if such a heavy boulder only scratched some corners, it was enough to smash the Rakshasa demon's stone-throwing car into pieces and fly high, as for the eight Rakshasa demon warriors who were pushing the winch, they were directly thrown into the air by the huge shock force, and they didn't know where they flew.
"Counterattack, it's our catapult!" Amid the cheers of the Dark Elf warriors on the ground, the boulder launched from the Dark Elf's position has destroyed several of the Rakshasa Demon's Stone-throwing Carts, which is a countermeasure made by the Dark Elves using a heavier and more powerful long-range and powerful Stone-throwing Carts after the Rakshasa Demon's camouflaged Stone-throwing Vehicles are exposed.
The dark elf's heavy stone throwing vehicle has a range of more than ten kilometers, and the Rakshasa demon is just an ordinary stone throwing vehicle, and its range is also three or four kilometers, so as long as the latter has been launched once and exposed its location, it will soon suffer from the counterattack from the dark elves, although these stone throwing vehicles on the Rakshasa demon side are lighter, but it is not more than ten people who can move away and change the direction within a few minutes, and the construction of these stone throwing vehicles is only some solid wood, how can it withstand the impact of a boulder weighing several tons from mid-air, basically it was completely destroyed at the first time, and the possibility of continuing to launch was lost。
When the phalanx of the Dark Elves in the second and third rows entered the battle, the new legions mobilized from the direction of the Dark Elf camp took the place of the empty space in front of them, and there were more Dark Elf legions in the camp ready to enter the battlefield at any time. After receiving enough manpower to replenish it, the destroyed passage ahead quickly returned to the control of the dark elves.
The battle continued in an orderly manner, with more shields being raised by the Dark Elf warriors, and more sandbags being carried by the family's private soldiers towards the front of the passage. After experiencing the incident just now, the advance speed of the dark elves not only did not slow down, but increased significantly a lot, and in just a few dozen minutes, it actually exceeded the previous advance speed because of the unity, and once again transferred the pressure of the battle to the Rakshasa demon general who was in charge of guarding.
The absence of slings and arrows does not mean that the Rakshasa Demon has lost the means to fight the dark elves, on the contrary, it will make this battle more and more intense, because the Rakshasa Demon General who guarded the position of this plain gave the order for hand-to-hand combat, and the Rakshasa Demon hidden under the cover rushed out with his weapon and began to charge towards the dark elves who were guarding the advancing passage.
The Rakshasa Demon's counterattack came quite suddenly, the most important of which was that the Rakshasa Demon Warrior often used the pre-dug pit to sneak near the passage paved by the Dark Elves, and then quickly rushed out of the cover and rushed towards the Dark Elf Warriors who formed the shield wall. These Rakshasa demon warriors are also well-trained and well-equipped excellent warriors, and their single combat effectiveness is not inferior to the elite of the dark elves, and the leader of the Rakshasa demon side is also quite familiar with the art of war, and knows the truth of concentrating on one place, so when these Rakshasa demon warriors continue to appear, the direction of their main attack is concentrated in a rather narrow area.
The dark elves are responsible for protecting this area, but some warriors with shields and a small number of crossbow archers, these defensive forces are powerless to have any impact on the counterattack of the Rakshasa Demon, their defense line only lasted a very short time before the Rakshasa Demon stopped and cut off, and the dark elf warriors who rushed to the front were divided into two at once, and the army's heart was suddenly in chaos.
In this kind of battle scene, the ideal way is to form a team of some very powerful characters, and this kind of team will rush to where there is a problem, but since Aledia's side does not want to use her hole cards too early, she did not send legendary powerhouses to press the formation, so those dark elves who were cut off can only rely on their own strength and the support of their companions to persevere.
In order to regain the lost passage, the dark elves naturally had to invest enough troops, and since the Rakshasa Demon side could cut off the position of the dark elves, they did not want this counterattack to fail, and soon this area became chaotic, and thousands of dark elves and the same number of Rakshasa demon warriors fought in close combat, and a fierce battle broke out.
In this kind of scene, the stone thrower and the crossbow shooter basically can't play any role, the only thing in the crowd that can protect themselves is the scimitar in the hand and the armor on the body, the strength of the two sides is close, and the single combat effectiveness is also relatively close, so the proportion of battle losses is almost increasing simultaneously, and no one has been able to take any advantage from this battle.
However, the entire Three Peaks Fortress currently has only one million Rakshasa demon warriors, and the strength of the dark elves is at least eight million, so the dark elves are not afraid of a war of attrition, especially the kind of war of attrition with almost the same proportion of battle damage, so under the fierce fighting, there are fewer and fewer Rakshasa demon warriors who cut off the dark elves, and they originally planned to copy the back road of the dark elves, but their back road was surrounded by dark elf warriors first.
Without the reinforcements behind, the Rakshasa demon warriors died one less on their side, and they were soon surrounded by the dark elves in a narrow area, these Rakshasa demon warriors piled up the corpses on the ground to form a temporary improvised fortification, but this effort did not have much effect, and the warriors who survived were still dragged out one by one by the dark elves using the advantage of numbers and strength.
After another ten minutes, there are only a few dozen Rakshasa demon warriors left in place, and everyone is a bunch of serious injuries, and it seems that they basically don't have any combat effectiveness, those crumbling Rakshasa demons seem to let the dark elf front-line commander see the opportunity to make meritorious atonements, it seems that he only needs to take his subordinates to add more strength to completely clear it and reopen the connection between the front and back of this channel, but at such a time, an accident suddenly happened, a hot lava spilled from the sky, which was the spell effect brought by the fire forbidden spell, and its appearance also showed that the legendary powerhouse of the Rakshasa demon finally made a move。
