Chapter 988 is fast-paced
This time, General Dimiit used the cavalry as a convoy and transported the soldiers into the dead end of the catapult as quickly as possible. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info hundreds of soldiers armed with knives, axes, bows and arrows dismounted and pounced on the chariot array in front of them, and the riders immediately turned their horses and began to transport the next batch of soldiers.
The demons hurriedly concentrated the archers in the direction of the attack. The two sides engaged in a brief exchange of fire. The demons have the cover of the car formation, and they are condescending, and they have an advantage in the terrain, but this unexpected tactic also made the demons scramble, and they also suffered more than a dozen casualties under the bow and arrow. Under the cover of the bow and arrow, the axemen smoothly rushed to the front of the car formation.
A few knives and axes slashed, and a car was smashed to pieces. These vehicles were all looted by the people, not reinforced chariots, so under those swords and axes blessed with fighting spirit, they couldn't hold out for a few rounds. The sudden appearance of the gap greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the Iron Fang Regiment, and they flocked to the open gap with a shout.
However, as soon as they rushed in, they saw several soldiers fly out as if they were throwing wooden sticks. Palo's roar rang out, and he arrived with a group of demon soldiers, immediately blocking the gap. The gap was too small, and the number of human soldiers was too small, so it was a stalemate all at once.
Palau was not greedy, he intercepted behind the gap, and also directed the towing of a spare vehicle, ready to plug the gap. But there was a small leader of the demon clan, and when he found that this group of human soldiers had been left alone, he couldn't help but rush out. As the little leader charged, hundreds of demons immediately rushed out.
"Come back!" Paro's eyes were on fire, and there was another disobedience to the order. The chances are indeed good, and it may eat most of this small human army. But is it meaningful? The most important thing at the moment is to hold on for more than a day, honestly serve as a good bait, and wait for the main action of Marshal Joset. Therefore, every part of the army is extremely valuable. After all, it's two thousand, six or seven hundred, and more than ten thousand.
The demon soldiers who pushed the cart hesitated, and their comrades rushed out, should they plug the gap? Unexpectedly, Paro didn't think about it, and immediately scolded loudly: "What are you waiting for?
"But...... My lord?"
"Block! Do you hear me?"
Although he knew that those demon soldiers who stayed outside would be more than lucky, now was not the time to hesitate. The only thing that can make up for the difference in strength between the two sides is the car formation. It's like there's an extra wall, and the humans don't have any siege engines on their side. So the most taboo thing now is to get into a melee. Even if the demon clan is strong in individual strength and can fight a few at a time, but all the soldiers are exhausted, and at least half of the troops are left on the human side.
In Paro's fierce gaze, the demons who were pushing the cart finally gritted their teeth and pushed the cart into the gap. But at this moment, three figures suddenly flew up among the human soldiers, and they flew to the height of two people, without giving the demons time to react, and saw three intermediate magicians through the gap and flew towards the position of the catapult and the bed crossbow. In the sound of magic crackling, I saw two bed crossbows and a catapult smashed into pieces, and the demons operating around it exploded a large area. The three figures did not stop, and when they saw that they had hit the target, they turned around and glided low, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into several black dots.
The three mages were hidden among the first soldiers to charge, and the operation was quite risky. Because the closer you get to the target, the more effective the gaze becomes. But the mage does not have the protection of followers on the periphery, so he can easily be injured by bows and arrows, etc., especially when he flies into the air, higher than the height of the vehicle, it is simply a live target. Fortunately, the gap of the demons was not closed in time, giving them a chance. They don't need to fly too high to activate the prepared magic scroll in time.
When Paro saw the loss of his catapult and bed crossbow, he cursed a few times in anger. The demons who pushed the cart also knew that something bad was going on with them, so they didn't dare to slack off anymore, pushed forward desperately, and finally plugged the gap.
There was still a fight outside the car formation, but those extremely enthusiastic demon soldiers just now had fallen into a panic. The back road was cut off, and there was a feeling of being abandoned. The Iron Fang Regiment will not let go of such an opportunity. Taking advantage of the melee between the two sides, the second group of cavalry rushed up, still a horse and a pair, and set up a transport team.
Finding that the catapult and the bed crossbow had been dumb fire, and even the arrows shot out were sparse, Palo couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded the sky: "Are Tamar's all waste? Shoot quickly! What are you afraid of accidental injury? They are considered to have sacrificed their lives for our holy clan!" The dense firepower finally appeared again, and there was a fierce fire again.
However, the rhythm slows down a beat, and there is a step by step passivity. The third group of cavalry stepped forward again, and the number of human soldiers at the front of the chariot formation was close to a thousand. Even in the comparison of the number of archers, the Iron Fang Regiment has also begun to gain an advantage. And there are not a few of the nearly 100 demon soldiers who rushed out, except for a few who were lucky enough to climb into the car formation and hide back, the others were basically all killed.
The situation was getting worse and worse, and the infantry brigade of the Iron Fang Regiment began to move forward. If they were allowed to charge in front of the formation, the battle would not be fought. Now there is a shortage of soldiers who operate catapults and bed crossbows, and under the magic just now, there are few intact ones. Even those that are still firing have been affected, and their accuracy is much worse. Not to mention the shooting of bows and arrows, no matter how good the terrain is, it can't withstand the difference in numbers!
Paro looked at the battlefield and shook his head. After all, the car formation is not a city wall, and it is not difficult to destroy, so a large number of human soldiers must not be allowed to approach. So Paro smiled bitterly and instructed Roentgen next to him: "I didn't expect to use it so quickly, I thought I could last a few rounds." Let it out!"
"So early?" Roentgen felt a little unwilling.
"You have to use it early and late, think optimistically, at least we have a few hundred more soldiers. ”
......
A row of vehicles was pulled away, and hundreds of demon death squads rushed out, and they appeared on the right side of the human soldiers, just to push the thousand human soldiers away, and the farther away from the vehicle formation, the better, especially to kill and injure those human archers. The defense of the vehicle formation must not be blindly defended, and it must be ready to counter-charge at any time.
However, this time the demons faced an equally experienced opponent. The commander of the Iron Fang Regiment had already arrived in front of him to take command, and he was already ready to face the countercharge. So as soon as he noticed the movement, the regiment commander pointed with his hand, and hundreds of human soldiers turned around and shouted to fight with those demons. A fierce battle broke out suddenly, and it seemed that the demon clan's plan had been discovered. (To be continued.) )
