Section 57 Advantages
"Come with me, and I'll need your strength as soon as the enemy's Chillbeast cavalry tries to move around from a wide area. It's the same with the Star Dragon, so let the dragon trainers pay attention, "I should climb on the back of the Star Dragon...... He admonished himself in his heart. "Always ready to play. ”
"And you," Ashrufat turned to the last general, the captain of the Phoenix Guards. The captain remained silent, watching with a blank face as Ashrufat gave orders. On the battlefield, the prince should be with the Phoenix Guards...... But not absolutely. "You're in charge of special missions. ”
Far away from Ashrufat, at the rear of the Dark Elves' formation. Hurd was ready, too.
"Prince Ashrufat is really uninteresting. He gazed at the frequently moving enemy camp, as if trying to find the strange prince in it. "Desperate to chase me. I was going to make you die a happy death. He muttered to himself.
"Let the recruits attack!" he ordered loudly.
The trumpets of the two armies sounded, and then the bows and arrows of the repeating crossbows obscured the sky. The Dark Elves use crossbows that are slightly different from those of humans, with an elaborate arrow box on them that allows them to fire in bursts. When firing, the Dark Elf's crossbowmen only need to be continuously wound, eliminating the need to fill the arrow into the slot. This makes them shoot almost no slower than bows and arrows. In addition, crossbow arrows have a more powerful armor-piercing ability than bows and arrows. This allowed them, although numerically disadvantaged, but not at a disadvantage in shooting. The fallen fighters on both sides looked almost the same in number.
After a rain of arrows, the dark elves attacked first. On the left flank of the battleline, the Dark Elf warriors loyal to Lord Heard of Dosonian were the first to charge. Behind them, the roar of a giant beast echoed through the sky, and the trainers commanded the giant hydra dragons to march slowly with their huge steps. Their footsteps made the earth tremble. And in response, the ballista of the Shenwu Elves began to shoot. Most of the components of these Talon Ballistae are magically enhanced, allowing them to shoot arrows that are far more powerful than they seem. Giant arrows thicker than spears pierced the sky and landed in the midst of the multi-headed dragons. One of the lucky ballistas could clearly be seen to hit the vital point of a multi-headed dragon, causing the giant beast to fall involuntarily despite roaring. But the other hydras kept going.
"Charge forward, you shit!" shouted the captain in charge of commanding the recruits. He was well aware of his mission, which was to entangle these worthless recruits with the opposing front, so that the Azuls would lose their ability to resist the onslaught of the Hydra. To this end, he will definitely not show mercy. "Fight for Lord Hurd! Prove that you are worthy! Dare to take a step back, and my sword will pierce your heart!"
The recruits are cannon fodder for the hydra, but the current situation is not developing as expected. The Azuls lined up a thin line ahead of the main force and held back the recruits. If the recruits can't break through this obstacle, then they won't be able to get entangled with the enemy, and they won't even be able to complete the task of cannon fodder well.
However, although the spear infantry was all elite veterans, the recruits also seemed to have hope of breaking through the battle ranks. Because they have an absolute advantage in numbers, they have little chance of being defeated.
But overall, the Dark Elf army is at a disadvantage. At this moment, the hydra was under the attack of the ballista, and the giant arrows shot at the multi-headed dragons and roared wildly. If they can't get through this barrier as soon as possible, then they will have to stand and be shot. If the hydra tries to directly charge down the unit that stands in their way, they will deal far more damage to their allies than they can do to the enemy, or even eliminate the recruits along with the enemy. At that time, the recruits lose the possibility of attacking and entanglement the enemy's main forces.
The captain desperately urged his troops to rush towards the enemy in battle, but the battle column with spears and shields was like an impregnable reef, shattering the wave of recruits' attacks one by one. One recruit after another fell.
A Dark Elf recruit staggered back, his chest covered in blood and at least three spear stabs. "No, they're too strong......" The recruit spat blood from his mouth as he spoke.
"You're disgusting weak!" the captain immediately stabbed the black sheep in the chest with his own hand. "Give me back, you shit!" he kicked the coward's corpse over. "Kill them all! Those who dare to retreat are examples!"
......
"Lords, the dragon princes are trying to approach the hydra from the flanks!"
Hurd ignored the screaming subordinate, the terrain was unusually open, and the cavalry and infantry could barely hide their movements. He had already discovered the movements of the Divine Martial Elves. The dragon princes are trying to make a detour, approaching the hydra from the flanks.
The situation of the first-line cannon fodder entangled with each other is very unfavorable, and now the dragon princes want to further contain the actions of the multi-headed dragons?He knows that the armor of the dragon princes is all treated by magic, and they are not afraid of any flames, and if they are entangled with the dragon princes, the most powerful flame spout of the multi-headed dragon will not be able to exert its power...... Once they succeed, the dragon will be caught in a scuffle, and it will be difficult to exert its power.
Sure enough, wouldn't it be a good idea to gather the hydra together, but to be able to send a team of completely lethal spearmen to stop the charge of the recruits...... That Prince Ashrufat was more like a Duruzi than a Yasur.
"Lord?!"
"Leave the left alone. He withdrew his gaze. In the center, the enemy's spearmen relied on their shields and held their positions against the fire of repeating crossbows. Soldiers were knocked down by a lucky bolt, but a companion calmly filled his gap...... At the back of these spearmen queues, the Knights of the Silver Helmets can be seen. They are out of range, but eager to take the plunge and ready to strike.
That's the benefit of superiority in forces. The side with superior forces can have the upper hand on most fronts, and without special trickery or schemes, it can crush the enemy from the front with no distinctive command and mediocre formation skills.
......
Gaillard and Akalina climbed to the top of the hill. Although there was no shelter on the hillside, they were safe here, and both armies were putting all their strength on the battlefield, and there was no leisure to inspect a place that could not affect the battlefield.
"Lord Hurd's situation doesn't look good. The Assassin observed for a moment, then said. "The hydra, the one he was most proud of, was under siege. Our cousins have strong magical support...... They've put all their magic on this side to deal with the hydra. ”
The situation on the battlefield is as he said. At this time, the hydra group was being attacked from the front and from the flanks. The behemoths have fallen into melee combat...... He was somewhat pleased to see a hydra furiously charge through a line of spear infantry, destroying a sizable number of enemies before it could finally be killed, especially the last one to spit flames. Burned at least ten of Yasur's spearmen.
"This is the price of forsaking the God of the Bloody Hand. The witch replied emotionlessly. The Assassin had to admit that she was right. If Heard had witches in his army, he would have fared much better. Bloodthirsty witches are a daily reverence for every dark elf, but on the battlefield, their fanaticism makes them a trusted ally.
"However, Lord Hurd seems to have a record of turning the tide of war many times. The Assassin watched with interest as the two armies fought each other. From this position, the two armies looked like two snakes, one black and one white, entangled and surrounded by each other, and it was difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom. But the white snake was noticeably thicker and larger, slowly pressing down on its black counterpart, forcing it to roll and move backwards.
Another hydra fell, and the Assassin watched with interest as the beast fell, crushing one of the dragon princes under his massive body.
"Hurd still has a trump card, and that is his black dragon. Right there...... Stopped on the ground, not into battle. Of course, Prince Ashrufat's dragon is also on standby. Oh, you see, that's the White Lion Chariot, and the chariot is already fighting back......"
......
Ulin pulled his sword out of the chest of the Martial Spirit lying on the ground. The white lion warrior who was in charge of driving the car shook violently, a mouthful of hot blood gushed out of his mouth, and then he never moved again. At his side, four dark guards had already killed the wounded white lion. But the White Lion's dying counterattack also wreaked havoc on one of the Dark Guards—claws slashed across his face, tearing half of his face off.
Beside the young nobleman, there were corpses of comrades and enemies, as well as the overturned chariot. Damn the chariot!, he cursed viciously. Just now, the White Lion Chariot launched a sudden onslaught from the flank. As a result, he had to stop and deal with these vehicles first, unable to support the friendly forces in front of him. The opportunity on the battlefield was fleeting, and the surprise attack of the White Lion's chariot deprived him of the opportunity to support his allies. Now, the Chill Beast Knight has lost the possibility of breaking down the enemy's defenses in one fell swoop, and has to be locked into close combat with the Yasur warriors. Although the two teams of archers were routed under the charge of the cold beast, the remaining soldiers, with the white lion warriors as the backbone, had stabilized their positions in time, so that the collapse of the archers did not spread to other teams.
The Dark Guardians had regained their formation in an instant. Although they had lost their best fighters, they continued to move forward, wanting to join the battle as soon as possible. The seasoned warriors found a suitable gap and charged, trying to flank a group of Warrior Spear Infantry. But as they approached, the spearmen avoided it.
Urin stopped with his team and looked ahead suspiciously. Avoiding before a fight is not the style of elves—any kind of elves—. Just when he couldn't judge whether this was a trap or not, he saw that in the gap where the other party got out of the way, a new team of new forces was coming towards him. These warrior soldiers were all wearing golden armor, which was dazzlingly gorgeous. The naked eye could see that the powerful energy was wrapped around these golden armors, even disturbing the air, making their figures somewhat hazy. Ulin recognized these as the Phoenix Guards, Prince Ashrufat's personal guards.
But he couldn't see any of the Phoenix Guards' queue that looked like princes. Isn't the prince with his own guard? Oh, by the way, he's probably with his dragon.
"Great!" said the young nobleman with a smile on his face. There are more and more enemies, but he is not afraid or discouraged at all, on the contrary, fighting these hypocritical cousins is his long-sought goal. The thought of his weapons piercing deep into the flesh of these phoenix guards made him feel inexplicably excited.
The same goes for his men.
The Phoenix Guard fills the gap in the way of his companions. They raised the phoenix halberds in their hands and charged at the group of dark guards. Urin let out a loud roar and led his team to launch a counter-charge face to face.
