326: Assault
In the distance, shouts of killing and explosions continued to be heard in the dense forest, and Elrens and the others immediately quickened their pace of advance, and they rushed forward at full speed with their bodies low, and after a while, they came to one of the outer guard towers of the Holy Roman army.
At this time, the Holy Rome also learned of the attack on the flank of the front, and some troops were mobilized there to support, but the soldiers who stayed in place were not at ease, who knows if the enemy would also send troops to attack here?!
Leda was the captain of a hundred-man squad stationed near this watchtower, and he was in a very nervous mood at this time, although the troops that were resting in the rear had been urgently assembled, and someone would soon come to help strengthen the defense, but after all, they only had less than a hundred soldiers now, and if the enemy really attacked, they would definitely not be able to resist.
He ordered his men to light all the torches on the watchtower, and stared at the movement in front of him, but this light was not enough to illuminate the dense jungle, and he could only see the darkness hundreds of meters ahead. At this moment, suddenly there was a scream of 'Ah!' in the distance, and Leda immediately realized that it was the trap they had placed on the periphery that worked, and someone had been hit by the trap!!
Leda was both glad and frightened, glad that his caution had enabled them to detect the enemy's approach in advance, and what if his 100 men could not stop the enemy before reinforcements arrived?
Elrens and Lekaon led the orc alliance to rush forward, but just as they were about to reach the enemy's watchtower, a wolf cavalry rushing in front of the right suddenly stepped into the air, and the ground that seemed to be covered with fallen leaves suddenly sank in. The whole person of the wolf cavalry fell into the deep hole below along with the horse! This is not counting, there are still a few spears stuck in the bottom of the deep hole, and the wolf cavalry is caught off guard and is suddenly stabbed through. Tragic death on the spot!
"Be careful! there's a trap!" Vanessa, the mermaid princess behind Elrens, immediately reminded in a loud voice when she saw the tragedy.
When the evil dragon heard this, he did not pause, but instead drew his illusion evil sword and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid of the trap, rush over with all your might!!"
The wolf warriors who were running at the forefront let out a sharp shout, and they all raised their scimitars and rushed forward. Led by them, a thousand orc coalition troops rushed forward with high morale. Although people kept screaming and being hit by the trap, they did not stop at all. After a while, the orc alliance had already rushed out of the dense forest. Wild Elf Archers' arrows rain down on your enemies!
In the face of a tenfold enemy, a hundred Holy Roman soldiers stood in the position and trembled, Leda saw that the situation was critical, and hurriedly shouted: "Steady! Fight back immediately!"
Three heavy crossbow bolts installed on the watchtower immediately began to fire forward on command. These heavy crossbows are specifically designed to deal with tough enemies. The shaft of the arrow is five centimeters thick, the head of the arrow is half a meter long, and the powerful crossbow string can easily shoot through the hard armor and the skin and flesh of ordinary magical beasts. I saw that the crossbow arrows shot out one after another with a terrible sound of breaking the wind, and the red-blooded wolf riders who rushed to the front bore the brunt, and after the crossbow arrows hit a wolf warrior, it immediately pierced its body, and then continued to thrust forward until it pierced the bodies of the three beast warriors all the way, and then fell to the ground! The Holy Roman warriors on the battlefield were in high spirits. Immediately, he picked up his bow and crossbow and shot forward, but these attacks were far less powerful than the heavy crossbow.
It's a pity that there are only three heavy crossbows on the watchtower. No matter how strong they are, they can't stop the swarming orc alliance. Before the heavy crossbow was fired three rounds, the first wave of wolf riders had already broken through the rain of arrows and killed in front of the position, at this time, the Holy Roman warriors also formed a formation under the order of the captain, picked up their spears to meet the attack, the two sides rushed together, and the position was suddenly splashed with clumps of blood, screams and shouts of killing one after another!
Due to the fact that the enemy's position was quite intact, the red-blooded wolf rode twice but failed to break through, and in order to avoid further serious injuries, they roared and suddenly dispersed to both sides. The Holy Roman warriors had just breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect a group of bear-man warriors wearing heavy armor and holding large shields to rush up from the rear of the wolf rider! These bear heavy infantry held their heavy battle axes high, screamed and slammed into them, and even the earth seemed to be shaken by their heavy footsteps!
The Holy Roman warriors were shocked, if the wolf cavalry was difficult to exert its might in positional warfare, then the bear heavy infantry was the most suitable for this kind of siege battle. The formation of the Holy Roman warriors had been somewhat confused in the impact just now, and they hurriedly regrouped under the order of the captain, but the bear heavy infantry had already rushed to the front of the formation at this time, and the breastwork made of sandbags and stones was immediately brutally smashed by them, and the spears pierced their bodies but failed to penetrate the heavy armor, even if they occasionally pierced into the body, they could not pierce the thick flesh and hurt the vital points!
On the contrary, the bear heavy infantry immediately rushed into the formation of the Holy Roman warriors after breaking through the breastwork, slashing and slashing, and immediately tore the first line of defense open, followed by the orc coalition army surging in, and soon the enemy was slaughtered in pieces. The bear heavy infantry continued to move forward without stopping, jumping into the trenches behind the breastwork that belonged to the second line of defense and continued to kill.
The Holy Roman warriors could not resist the onslaught of the Orc Alliance, and as a corner of the watchtower was cut off and fell with a thud, the resistance could no longer be sustained, and the human warriors threw down their armor and fled, at which point the Red Wolf rode out again and pursued the defeated army fiercely.
Elrens and the others stood not far away and watched this, he had no expression on his face, attacking a hundred ordinary fighters with a thousand elites, and there would be no suspense at all. He had expected the victory in this skirmish, and then they would win the enemy's reinforcements, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue until the enemy was in a nearby barracks, burn all the supplies stored there, and then retreat before the enemy's main force arrived.
This is the purpose of their active attack: constant skirmishes, constant harassment of the enemy, until the enemy is exhausted and depleted, and then attack with all their forces to defeat the invading Holy Roman army in one fell swoop!
