Chapter 702: All the means are exhausted
After a long entanglement with the Harpy forces, the airship was finally repaired, and under the escort of two dwarven helicopter squads, it was once again put into battle.
The violent roar of the aerial bombardment resounded throughout the mountain.
Monsoon, who commands the army to launch an offensive, vows to break off Eric Moonton.
"Charge !! Army"
"Kill!!
The fierce trumpet sounded, and the Chinese soldiers with bolt-drawn rifles roared and rushed towards the enemy's outer trenches, which had been reduced to ruins under the bombardment of airships.
As the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, the soldiers who approached the ruins of the trench were attacked by a rain of arrows.
It's a Dark Elf Crossbowmen!
They were now occupying the heights of the fortress, attacking the Chinese soldiers who were rushing up outside.
Immediately afterwards, the Black Knights, who were the high-level troops on the Dark Elf side, also fought out from the rear with the Dark Warrior troops and spearmen.
Obviously, although the outer trench defense line has been blown up, Eric Murton has no intention of sitting still!
Before they officially approached, looking at the dark elf troops that had been killed, the soldiers of Huaxia picked up the bolt-type rifles in their hands and began to shoot.
Unlike the manual rifles that were very difficult to fire in the early years, the bolt rifles after the replacement greatly improved the propulsion ability of the riflemen. qδ
After mastering the operation, the soldiers can move quickly and shoot at the same time.
That is, they have become more aggressive.
However, the Dark Elf troops are not vegetarians, and as the most physically fit branch of the Elves, the Dark Elves already have quite excellent melee combat abilities.
As a high-level soldier, the Black Knight and the mid-level Dark Samurai may not be afraid even in the face of bullet attacks.
The pitch-black full-body metal armor emitted wisps of ominous aura like black smoke.
In the face of the attack of the Huaxia soldiers, I saw them quickly swipe their hands on the blade of the Black Knight Greatsword, and the blade that exuded a cold glow was suddenly wrapped in a layer of black substance that seemed to be like a flame.
Then, the black knight who led him waved his big sword and shouted loudly.
"Fight for His Majesty the Elven King!!
"Fight for His Majesty the Elven King!!
At this time, Eric Menton personally sat in this fortress, which made the dark elf troops under his command burst into a powerful battle spirit.
Although the outer trenches were blown up, the morale of the Dark Elf troops was still high.
"Kill!!
In that roar, the Black Knights took the lead in the charge, and rushed towards the Huaxia soldiers in the face of the rain of bullets.
In this regard, of course, the soldiers of Huaxia could not let them approach so easily.
Switching to other elven branches, they are still fearless in melee combat, but the physical fitness of this dark elf is stronger than theirs, and with the blessing of those strange spell powers, once they fight melee combat, they are very likely to fall into a disadvantage.
In this way, the tacit cooperation allowed them to quickly launch a salvo formation, trying to suppress the opponent with dense firepower.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a circle of light behind quickly spread, and at the moment when they were enveloped by that aperture, the Huaxia soldiers in a salvo formation felt their bodies sink at the same time.
In the past period of fighting, this feeling, they can only say that it is too familiar.
It's the dark elf mages who put a negative buff on them.
Affected by the negative buff, the soldiers' attack efficiency begins to decrease.
Seeing this opportunity, the forces of the dark elves burst out with speed, and in a very short time, they rushed in front of them.
Faced with such a situation, the Chinese soldiers subconsciously retreated a distance.
Forcibly fighting against the troops of the dark elves with a negative buff, really
It's too much of a disadvantage.
"Everyone, grenade throw, get ready!"
"Invest !!"
In the case of a negative buff on the body, a grenade that is easy to operate and has a wide range of damage and a large margin for error is obviously a good choice, as long as you are not stupid enough to throw the grenade at your feet.
A highly trained professional soldier is unlikely to make such a mistake, even if affected by a negative buff.
After a round of grenades was thrown out, a certain amount of time was bought for the regrouping of the infantry units.
Now their idea is simple, survive the effective time of this negative buff first, and then go and fight the Dark Elf troops on the opposite side.
Infantry like them who charge on the battlefield actually have a limited number of magazines and grenades on their bodies.
Bullets tend to be only a few dozen, because in many cases, there is simply no time to fire that many shots.
Of course, if you bring too much, it can easily become a burden.
As for grenades, not to mention, taking into account different situations, as well as the country's economic problems, the average infantryman has only three or four grenades on his body.
In the face of the dark elf troops pressing on them, the grenades on the infantry were quickly thrown almost away.
But fortunately, the effect of the negative buff on their body has also begun to gradually decline.
As a result, just as they were about to launch a counterattack, another circle of light spread out in the rear fortress, causing many soldiers to burst into foul language on the spot.
"!"
At this moment, even the monsoon, who was holding a telescope to confirm the battle situation in the rear, was no exception, and spit out a dirty word directly from his mouth.
However, after scolding, he quickly calmed down.
The war has reached this point, and for Eric Mountton's Dark Elf mage troops, Monsoon naturally has a certain understanding.
That weakening spell is the most basic spell of the dark elf mage, that is, the first-order spell.
The chant is fast, and the consumption of mana is also very small.
Originally, this first-order weakening spell has always been used in conjunction with the attack spell Cursed Spear, and it can also stack double negative buffs.
But when his infantry troops and the dark elf troops on the opposite side clashed before, the opposite side threw a weakening spell, but he didn't quickly catch the attack of the cursed spear, and at that moment, Monsoon realized that the mana in the dark elf mages was probably not much.
And looking at this situation now, the Dark Elf mage troops, which have little mana left, have obviously given up that limited output and began to concentrate on supporting.
I have to say that this situation is still very disgusting.
The continuous weakening spells made Huaxia's infantry units completely at a disadvantage.
In the face of the dark elf troops who directly protruded their faces, they were already unavoidable.
In desperation, he could only carry a bayonet and fight hard with the other side.
However, the black knight who rushed ahead in the first place was a high-level soldier of the dark elves, and his strength was not comparable to that of an ordinary human infantryman.
In the few swings of the black knight's great sword in his hand, he had already killed several soldiers.
At the same time, the black tentacles extending from the blade of the sword continued to extend towards the other soldiers around them, and once they touched it, they would begin to eat away at the power of the opposite side.
Although a small part of the strength of an ordinary human soldier is not feared at all, the strength of the Black Knight class lies in the fact that their means of cannibalization and plundering can be stacked many times.
This makes the battlefield with a large number of people particularly suitable for them to fight, and with each round of killing, the combat effectiveness will continue to grow, which can be said to be a high-level class of soldiers who are becoming more and more courageous in battle!
After the armies of the two sides launched the first wave of head-to-head confrontations, the disadvantages of the human armies soon became apparent.
Their melee combat capabilities are simply not comparable to the army of dark elves.
At this stage, and even the next, there is a military development of human civilization
One characteristic is that with the development of military power, the attack range is getting longer and longer, and the long-range firepower is getting stronger and stronger, but the melee ability is going downhill.
At this moment, the weakness of their melee ability can be said to be completely exposed.
Although these soldiers have practiced the ability to fight bayonets, they are completely incomparable to these people who have been fighting with swords.
The Black Knights brandished their swords to open up the battle, and then the Dark Samurai and Spearmen launched a ferocious attack.
At this moment, although the strength of the Huaxia army is superior, it is affected by the negative buff on the opposite side, coupled with the decline in the morale of its own side, the whole situation is actually at a disadvantage.
Seeing the frequent wrinkles of the monsoon in the rear, he quickly got in touch with the command center on the front line through radio communication equipment.
Next to the radar vehicle, the temporary front-line command center was implemented as soon as it received the order.
According to the order, the Chinese army, which was at war, began to fight and retreat.
At that time, the army of dark elves, who were attacking fiercely and had more morale, naturally chased and fought all the way.
Faced with this situation, Eric Mountton, who was observing the battle situation in the rear, frowned suddenly.
He is not stupid, in the current battle situation, if his dark elf army pursues too far, the dark elf crossbowmen and dark elf mages in the rear will not be able to support the front row of troops.
Unless, they follow suit.
Eric Moonton, apparently seeing the other side's intentions.
If he chooses to chase, then his rear troops will inevitably be exposed, and when the time comes, there will be a risk of being cut into the back row by the opposite side.
And if you choose not to chase, then there are two more situations.
One is to let their front row troops fight alone, and the other is to call back their own front row troops.
In either case, it is not a good choice.
Needless to say, fighting alone, as for the recall of the front row troops, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army at this time.
At the same time, it is a pity to retreat like this with a wave of advantages that were finally played.
Moreover, the dark elf mages under his command, considering the recovery speed of mana, this spell is really one less than one, and now they have already smashed two spells out, how can they just give up.
Immediately, Eric Murton gritted his teeth and ordered, "Pass the order down and transfer the Fifth Unit of the Dark Warriors and the Sixth Unit of the Spearmen back to guard the rear troops. And the Harpy Force, how many troops are left in the Harpy Force?"
"Back to His Majesty the Elven King, the Harpy Banshee Force is now less than three hundred troops."
Hearing this, Eric Moonton's eyelids jumped.
The Harpy is definitely a lot of troops among the many classes of their dark elves, but before, under his orders, the Harpy troops continued to launch strong attacks on the opposite airship troops and dwarf helicopter squads, and the consumption of one round after another, no matter how many troops there were, they couldn't withstand it!
Eric Moonton frowned and said, "Mobilize three Harpy squads to the sky above the rear row of troops to keep watch, and the rest of the troops are all staring at the air troops on the opposite side."
"Yes!"
Harpy troops, one squad consists of ten Harpys, and three squads are thirty. This amount, even if it is placed in a civilization with a scarce population like the Elven civilization, is nothing.
However, if it is only used to perform vigilant tasks, and if it is necessary to open a buff to assist, thirty harpys can actually make do with it.
Orders were quickly carried out, and this time, Eric Moonton was determined to pursue him.
Now that his army of dark elves is gaining momentum, and with the situation dominating, he won't be intimidated anymore.
If he can take advantage of this offensive to severely suppress the strength of the Huaxia army on the opposite side, his life will be much better after that.
