Chapter 743: Fortress Attack and Defense (2)
(Seven Changes) With the help of the siege ladder, the dark elves climbed the bottom of the first level of the Rakshasa Demon Fortress, and the Rakshasa demon warriors guarding there launched a fierce battle, because the area of the siege ladder is relatively narrow, the dark elves can not form a phalanx like the flat ground to approach step by step, which makes them suffer heavy casualties in the face of the indiscriminate shooting of the Rakshasa demon crossbow shooters, these Rakshasa demon crossbow shooters are lined up on both sides of the dark elves' siege ladder sandwiched in the middle, those arrows shoot in a cross direction, and quite dense, many dark elf warriors often have not completely stood on the siege ladder and were killed by the arrows all over the body.
In this case, human life is simply a cold number, if there is no breakthrough, no matter how many troops are put in, they will be swallowed by the Rakshasa demon bite by bite, so the captain of the Dark Elf Hundred Team and even the leader of the Thousand People team stood up and charged forward with their own guards. The weapon has a strong defensive effect, which can support these people to complete the process of climbing from the ground to the siege ladder, and then crossing to the Rakshasa demon wall, and stand on the city wall to continue to kill and injure the enemy, buying time and grabbing a foothold for the comrades behind to advance.
At the same time as this kind of battle, behind the gap deliberately left by the Rakshasa crossbow archer, there are also many Rakshasa demons who pick up the slings and fire oil, this slings are not a miniature model of the catapult, it is made of leather ropes. By adding a skin pouch between two leather cords of the same length, the most rudimentary of these slings can be made. This ranged weapon is far inferior to a crossbow in terms of power and accuracy, but it is easy to craft, and one of the biggest advantages is that it can throw fire oil. When facing an enemy, put the cobblestone or oil to be thrown into the middle leather bag, grasp the end of the leather rope and rotate it several times, and when it reaches enough speed, release one of the leather ropes, and the projectile placed in the leather bag will be automatically fired.
Since there is no way to destroy the siege ladder of the dark elves, it is also a good idea to use flame incineration, throwing fire oil by hand has a limited range, and it is completely fine to use a sling, a well-trained warrior can use a slingling to throw cobblestone hundreds of meters away, if you change it to an easily broken oil bottle, six, Seventy meters is absolutely fine, but the dark elves must have taken this fire problem into account when making the siege ladder, and the surface of the siege ladder has undergone some kind of special treatment, and it is difficult to really ignite the wood on the siege ladder without a large amount of fire oil for a long time.
A fist-sized bottle of fire oil flew out and smashed into the charging dark elf warriors, and the viscous fire oil immediately covered the bodies of these warriors, and then a Rakshasa crossbow archer replaced the fire arrow, which was actually a simple fire magic array in front of the arrow. When the bolt hits the target, the fire magic circle on the front of it will immediately activate, dealing fire damage that is not serious but can burn the skin or ignite the oil.
The fire oil used by the Rakshasa demon is also special, they are very viscous so they will not flow everywhere, so as to ensure that the object or area smeared with this fire oil can continue to burn, if it is stained with this kind of thing, it will be more troublesome, because it is impossible to wipe it clean in a hurry, once the fire oil on the surface of the body is ignited, unless you immediately jump into the water or bury your whole body with mud, you can only be burned alive.
The ignition of the fire oil did make the dark elf's attack show signs of stagnation, but this process was quite short, after all, the dark elf warriors knew very well in their hearts that the battle had been carried out to this extent, even if the whole body was shrouded in flames, they had to struggle to charge, and it was better to be killed by the arrows of the Rakshasa demon than the pain of burning their bodies, under the leadership of a captain of ten dark elves who burned on the surface of their bodies, each dark elf whose body was burning rushed to the opposite Rakshasa demon warrior, hoping to die with the opponent, and the combat power that broke out before death was extremely strongEven if it was full of arrows, it was difficult to stop the desperate dark elves, and as a result, the Rakshasa Demon's fire oil not only failed to exert its due effect, but instead caused a small area of chaos in its position.
The leader of a dark elf thousand-man team fought hard with a dozen of his own personal guards, and they had already killed three or four times as many Rakshasa demon warriors after they reached the fortress wall, and the arrows fired by those Rakshasa crossbow archers could barely penetrate the Mithril full-body armor on the Thousand Team leader and his personal guards, allowing these dozen dark elves to hold on.
When he saw that his companion couldn't help the dark elf opposite, a Rakshasa demon warrior picked up the slingling and threw a bottle of fire oil, originally he planned to use this fire oil to burn the leader of the thousand people, but was blocked by a personal guard next to the commander with his body, and then the dark elf personal guard turned into a fire man, but the more this way, the more amazing the combat power that the personal guard burst out, and he even spun his body desperately and launched a sword storm.
Although the blade storm is very powerful, it will also accelerate the consumption of its own strength, and it is easier to accidentally injure one's own people in this situation of melee between friends and enemies, but the dark elf guard who was covered in flames rushed directly into the Rakshasa demon to do so, and the sword storm he sent out was not only a whirring wind, but also mixed with flames that were difficult to extinguish.
Seeing that his brother, who was as close as a sibling, actually chose a suicidal attack, the leader of the Dark Elf Thousand People and his other guards were all red-eyed, even if the strength of these people did not reach the legendary realm, they also had the strength of ordinary advanced or above, and now these dozen people frantically turned their bodies to launch a sword storm together, which immediately caused a chain reaction, so that more than a dozen small storms were mixed together to form a large metal hurricane, directly towards the opposite Rakshasa Demon Warrior and strangled the past.
In the face of this destructive power comparable to a small forbidden spell, the defending Rakshasa demon warriors could not resist it, and they were swallowed by the oncoming hurricane without even having a chance to retreat. This metal frenzy killed and injured the lives of the Rakshasa Demon warriors in large quantities, and also took advantage of the situation to squeeze the position occupied by the Rakshasa Demon, providing a valuable foothold for the newly surging companions behind him, with these footholds, the other Dark Elf warriors could protect each other and continue to fight, so that they would not be killed by the Rakshasa Demon in the local force advantage formed by the Rakshasa Demon just after rushing to the city wall.
As long as they stand still, the dark elf warriors who come up from under the city wall can join their comrades in front of them, use their best phalanx to resist the counterattack of the Rakshasa demon, and slowly encroach on the control area of the Rakshasa demon on this city wall, so that their side's advantage in numbers will slowly become obvious. By the time most of the desperate Dark Elf Commander and his personal guards had died in battle, the Dark Elves had already occupied an area of several tens of meters on the Rakshasa Demon City Wall through the siege ladder that destroyed half of the platform, and the number of people rushing up the city wall exceeded five hundred.
Of course, the Rakshasa Demon will not let the dark elves consolidate their foothold so easily, so a Rakshasa Demon** Shi quietly leaned out half of his body somewhere a few hundred meters away on the same level of city wall, he observed the surrounding environment a little, and after finding that there were no enemies who could pose a threat to him, he began to recite the spell silently, preparing to use the forbidden spell to deal a fatal blow to the siege ladder leaning on the city wall, as long as this climbing path was destroyed, no matter how many dark elves on the city wall were isolated, it was easy to destroy them.
The forbidden spell magic of this Rakshasa Demon ** Master was released quite smoothly, but when he was about to finish reciting the last short spell in his heart, an arrow flying from nowhere silently pierced his left chest, and then brought up a cloud of blood mist to penetrate out of the back of the Rakshasa Demon ** Master. The Rakshasa Demon Master who was hit by the arrow showed an unbelievable look in his eyes, he never thought that when he was going to hunt, he would become the prey of a certain dark elf hunter hidden in the shadows.
This arrow flew extremely fast and silently, completely concealing the magic detection of this legendary ** master, ordinary shooters would never be able to do it, it could only be launched by another legendary level powerhouse, but the dark elves on the ground were dense, and the person had deliberately hidden in it before, which concealed the perception of this Rakshasa demon ** master that one blow would kill.
"Demon archer, it's the demon ......" The Rakshasa Demon Master only felt top-heavy, his body turned out of the city wall, and fell straight to the ground, but before his body completely rolled out, the mana condensed by the Rakshasa Demon Master before to release the forbidden spell magic was out of control, and then a violent explosion swept the body of the Rakshasa Demon Master into it, and killed all the Rakshasa Demon Demon Warriors in the surrounding area of nearly 100 meters.
A loud bang and the billowing black smoke also attracted the attention of others, after seeing that it was their own side that withstood the attack, the morale of the Rakshasa Demon warriors was naturally greatly affected, and the Dark Elves were greatly boosted in this aspect, coupled with the fact that the Rakshasa Demon placed a large group of crossbow shooters in the back row died in the explosion produced by this spell backlash, which made the pressure on the dark elf warriors suddenly reduced a lot, and soon the dark elf control area on the city wall was expanded out by dozens of meters.
A dark elf legendary powerhouse hiding in the crowd on the ground showed a smile on his face, as a magic archer who was proficient in the longbow, he put all his thoughts on the longbow in his hand and the arrow behind his back, the blow just now was the best embodiment of the strength of this magic archer, and after succeeding, this dark elf legendary powerhouse once again hid his identity among the dark elf warriors around him, waiting for the next prey worthy of his own shot to appear.
