Chapter 185: Ambush on all sides

Herman has always wanted to find the main force of the elven army for a decisive battle, and use his own numerical advantage to instantly exhaust the combat power of the entire elven clan at one time, so that the elven clan will become a toothless dog and will not be able to bite people.

But where is the main force of the elves?

According to the discussion between Liu Wenshu and the elf king, the elite soldiers of the elf clan were all dispersed throughout the night, one thousand people resisted the attack of human soldiers on the periphery of the forest during the day, and at night two thousand people frontally contained the 30,000 army of Herman who invaded the forest, and two thousand troops were taken away by the elf king to attack the enemy's base camp, and the remaining five thousand people left one thousand people as the last defensive force of the elf cottage, and also as a new force in the rear when counterattacking, and the rest were all ambushed on both sides of Luofeng Slope.

Therefore, in this way, Luofengpo is the main force of the elf clan, with 4,000 people, and reinforcements that are constantly coming.

However, Herman was not aware of this problem, he was only thinking that this was a delaying tactic for the elves, and their purpose was only to slow down his own reinforcements and give the elven army in the rear time to attack.

"Adjutant, command the soldiers on both wings to shrink, and tell the soldiers behind to quickly pounce into the forests on both sides and pull out this elf that is blocking us." Herman ordered again.

The battle line of the 30,000-strong army was long, even if the elves went on the offensive again after they had passed a third.

The Imperial soldiers in the rear quickly divided into two groups and began to enter the large woods on both sides of Luofeng Slope.

However, when they entered, they found that the trees here were so dense that there was no place for anyone to stand on them, and the soldiers were wearing heavy armor, and their physical flexibility was greatly reduced, making it difficult to walk an inch inside.

Woohoo.

Several corpses fell to the ground, and some were not even fully lying on the ground, and the elven killer came.

The trees here are not easy to resist the nimble elves, they can freely move between the trees and the gaps between the trees, but such a high density of trees gives them more space to move in mid-air.

Teams of 300 people were sent out from each side of the forest to snipe the enemies inside, while the other elves still targeted the soldiers outside.

Puff puff.

Soldiers continued to fall on the periphery, but the elves' arrows showed no sign of abating, venting their anger.

Just now they watched the soldiers pass in front of their eyes, attacking their people, sweeping their homes, and watching a famous man fall in the enemy's butcher's knife while he himself clutched his weapon and could not use it, the anger began to build up at this moment.

And now, at last, according to their plan, the enemy had retreated from the great forest, and when it was time for them to attack, everyone went crazy and poured arrows into their hands, wishing that they could have an extra pair of hands at this time.

Smack.

Herman wielded the plate axe in his hand to block an arrow that was shooting at him, and now even his position was within range of the elves.

However, what made him even more angry was the casualties of the troops now, in just a quarter of an hour, the casualties of the soldiers were about to catch up with the casualties of the whole night.

That's the lives of nearly 5,000 soldiers! Although as a general, he did not attach much importance to life, but it was based on a small range of casualties, and now the 30,000 troops he brought out have suffered nearly a third of the casualties, and the death toll is still increasing rapidly.

"Why haven't the troops in front come back for reinforcements?" Herman said angrily, he wondered, the troops who went out in front must have known that they were attacked behind, but why they had not come back to rescue them until now.

The non-commissioned officers shook their heads, no one could answer Herman's question, and he was afraid that he would have to ask the Elven King.

Their retreating vanguard at this time and another group of elves handed hands, this wave of people is the elven king led to burn their camp troops, after completing the sneak attack mission they quickly evacuated, the remaining defenders were busy fighting the fire and did not entangle with them, so they quickly withdrew to the big forest, quietly waiting on the periphery of Luofeng Slope, in order to intercept and kill this vanguard force.

Burst.

A soldier in the rear was suddenly pierced through the throat by an arrow, a string of blood foam came out of his mouth, and he put his hands on his neck and tried to look back to see who shot him, but when his heart stopped beating, his body no longer had so much energy to support him to complete so many movements.

With the explosion of this arrow, the sound of tight wind breaking began again, and the rear of the human soldiers, who had been relatively stable, began to be chaotic.

"Sophie, let the elves spread out as much as possible, be careful of being surrounded by the enemy's counterattack, and make full use of our long-range advantage to carry out guerrilla tactics to traumatize them to the greatest extent."

Liu Wenshu's voice sounded, and they had already chased after them from behind, and at this moment, the troops led by Herman were completely surrounded by elves, and more than 20,000 human soldiers were surrounded by less than 10,000 elves.

In the forest, the elves used their excellent archery skills and dexterity to complete the encirclement with less than twice the number of enemies, and also took advantage.

First, archery, has been living in the beast-crisscrossed forest, the elves have practiced extremely good archery, almost every elf is an archery master at the level of the archer, which is also the biggest advantage of the elves, is the foundation of everything.

Second, the terrain, the battle broke out in the big forest, which is the home of the elves, dozens of meters high trees, thick branches, and even grass, each of which can provide them with cover, so that they can protect themselves to the greatest extent, and also preserve the elves' continuous combat effectiveness, fighting, running, chasing, fighting.

Third, the command, because of Liu Wenshu's existence, the elves performed this strange serial scheme, completely playing Herman in applause, only exhausted, until now he has not figured out where the main force of the elves is, no, he should know by now, the main force of the elves has gathered here.

Fourth, chaos, the soldiers brought by Herman are 50,000 elites under him, experienced in a hundred battles, experienced, but after arriving in the big forest here, they are in chaos, first the terrifying swamp of despair, is it around them, every appearance will take the lives of hundreds of companions, and you don't know when it will appear, this is the most terrifying, and then there is the terrifying long-range sniper, your own long-range army was hit fatally at the first time, and then completely fell into a nightmarish situation, Endless arrows, like endless ghosts seeking their lives, constantly impacting their psychological defenses, and now, they have encountered encirclement again, and the heavy psychological burden has finally collapsed at this time, chaotic, very chaotic, very chaotic, so chaotic that they forgot to defend themselves, and only cared about holding their heads and running around, which is the main reason why the elves can suppress them now,
