The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 863 Signal
  The elven army was unyielding, and the main force continued to chase the drow army south.

The two sides constantly reenacted scenes such as biting the tail, turning back to attack, and evacuating with broken arms. Although there were reserved strongholds and castles on the territory operated by the drow along the way, which could provide limited help, but in the face of the menacing elves pursuing the army, These crude fortifications had little effect.

Seeing that if this pursuit continued, the main force of the drow army was bound to fall into defeat, and the dawn of victory was beckoning to him. For some reason, Besim felt a bit unrealistic and vain in his heart.

The drow have been the enemies of the elves for tens of thousands of years. Their combat effectiveness has not declined to such an extent. Even if the elves attacked by the army in front of them are just branches of the drow migrating to the surface, the overall strength shown by the opponent now is inferior to their quality. , completely different from the recorded Drow army.

But the actual situation made Besim's worries seem unnecessary. The Drow lost nearly ten thousand soldiers along the way. If there was really a conspiracy, wouldn't they have spent too much money?
  Moreover, although there is a significant difference between retreat and rout, it is extremely difficult to prevent the retreat from turning into a rout on the actual battlefield. The risks that need to be taken are completely uncontrollable. As long as the drow The commanders are not fools, and they cannot risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of drow soldiers.

"Tell Cohen that you must bite the legion behind the Drow!!"

Although he had doubts in his heart, the huge temptation before the battlefield was in front of him, and Besim couldn't help but think carefully and be cautious. At this time, he suppressed the disturbing thoughts and loudly issued an order to the flying knight wandering in the sky.

The elves pursuing in front had obviously received Besim's order. The entire vanguard cavalry army had separated from most of them and began to charge forward, biting the tail of the drow army towards the horizon.

The drow army behind them had been vigilantly watching the pursuers behind them. Just as the elf commander thought, it was not easy for their main force to evacuate. Although they had mobilized early to give the soldiers psychological construction in advance, in reality Many uncontrollable problems still occurred during operation.

Seeing the pursuers approaching from behind, the drow quickly launched a response. The drow casters team rode on the undulating mounts and began to mutter. After a dozen breaths, magical halos rippled in front of them.

Whoosh!

The drow mage pointed his staff behind him, and the formed magic flew back. When it landed on the bumpy road, ravines and vines suddenly appeared on the road to the capital.

"Disperse!!"

The elf cavalry commander shouted loudly, and the torrent of cavalry in the arrow-shaped charge formation split into two groups, bypassing the magic obstacles in front, and then rejoined and continued to advance.

Whoosh! Whoosh!
  Arrows filled the sky, and the drow archers did not forget to show their presence at this time. Even when they were running, their accuracy had no effect, and they fell directly into the dense cavalry team.

There was also a thick black fog rising, which soon covered the road between the drow and the elves. However, at this moment, the caster team behind the elves also provided timely support. Strong winds tore through the thick fog and swept it away. It was carried away into the sky and scattered around.

Finally, the dense fog turned into thin mist, and when it was no longer possible to block the sight of the elf soldiers, they suddenly discovered that the chasing opponents ahead had stopped and quickly completed a defensive formation.

"rush!"

"kill!!"

It was impossible to turn back at this time, and the Elf Cavalry Commander had no intention of retreating at all.

The defensive formation of Zall in front of us is obviously not yet stable. If we don't take advantage of the strong impact of the cavalry at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good opportunity?
  Behind him, the elf commander Besim and several other colleagues also saw clearly the changes ahead. Besim, whose heart sank involuntarily, raised his head.

"Expand the scope of investigation by ten miles and report any abnormalities quickly!"

The dozen flying knights hovering in the sky received the order and quickly spread around and flew into the distance.

"Franc, Jacques, you two take your respective legions and go to meet the cavalry legion!"

Faced with the drow's sudden shift to defense, Besim could only resort to tricks and make timely adjustments. At least in the current situation, their elven army was the one with the upper hand.

The two elven light infantry advanced quickly, no longer maintaining uniform speed and physical strength. They broke away from the pursuing elven army and quickly pursued the cavalry that was about to meet the enemy several miles ahead.

Besim jumped up at the same time, his body directly lifted up to a thousand meters, and then he looked down at the ground.

There are occasional hills and valleys around, and there are also many tall trees and forests in the surrounding area. If there is a premeditated plan to hide an army, it does not seem to be difficult.

However, as Besim's consciousness dispersed and he observed surrounding animals and birds, no trace of the enemy hiding was found. The flying knight who was still flying and circling in the distance did not issue a warning at this time. Maybe it was just Besim. Mu himself is too worried.

Then the elf commander looked behind him again, and unknowingly his army's formation was stretched too long due to the pursuit, stretching back and forth for at least twenty miles.

Just as the drow did not expect the elves' determination to siege the city, the drow later voluntarily gave up the city defense, leaving only tens of thousands of slave cannon fodder and vassals in the city to contain the elves' siege army, creating an opportunity for their own retreat, which also exceeded the expectations of the elven army. expected.

At that time, the elf commanders only had eyes for the main force of the drow, which seemed to be retreating in a hurry, but they neglected to control their own troops. Now, except for the part that continues to stay in the city to clean up the remnants of the drow, they are left with the army that followed them. There are also three hundred thousand.

After roughly estimating the strength gap between his own army and the drow, Besim felt relieved. Even if there were any traps or the enemy had other ambushes, his existing army would not be too big. danger.

The commander of the Elf Cavalry took the lead and rushed forward, deploying all the power from several areas. The faces that resembled the elves were so clear in his eyes that even the strands of hair floating on the opponent's cheeks could be seen clearly.

With a sharp smile on his lips, the spurs inlaid on his boots lightly kicked the unicorn's lower abdomen. The cavalry commander shouted again: "For the kingdom!"

"kill!"

The two-meter-long lance was held diagonally in the hand of the cavalry gate, pointed forward, and the tail of the lance was thrust into the ground, with the tip of the lance pointing towards the drow brigade of the cavalry.　　　　One hundred and fifty meters.
  The soldiers on both sides couldn't help but began to swallow their saliva, their pupils shrank into balls, and even the air in their mouths seemed to become hot at night.

Thirty meters. Ten meters
  Just when the elven cavalry was about to rush into the drow team, and the lances in their hands were almost able to reach the opponent's body, the cavalry in the front only felt that the foot of the mount was missing, and then the man and the horse began to roll together.

boom!boom.
  噗噗
  A ravine five meters wide and seven or eight meters deep finally appeared in broad daylight as the wooden boards laid on the gully broke.

It was originally just a small ravine that any warrior above level 7 could easily cross. However, for the elf cavalry who were charging at this time, it was the most terrifying disaster.

The first batch of cavalry and their mounts fell directly into a deep pit filled with sharp wooden stakes. The mounts with low intelligence were killed without any suspense, but the agile elven cavalry could still survive even though they were wearing heavy armor. Make timely adjustments to save your life.

However, their struggle was in vain. More colleagues above their heads who had no time to react, or who were pushed forward by the dense team even if they wanted to react, fell like raindrops, filling the ravine to three or four points in a short period of time.

There were also cavalrymen and mounts who merged into one. They jumped over a ravine more than five meters wide, but then crashed into the jungle of steel spears in front of the drow queue. They couldn't even resist and were stabbed by more than a dozen spears. Wear it right.

At the same time, the drow queue in front also took the initiative to make way for a path. Teams of drow light cavalry composed of Komodo dragons, shadow leopards and other mounts brought up from the underground finally turned their direction and started to move forward. When it turned around, it began to accelerate and was quickly heading towards the elven army in front of it!
  The commander of the elf cavalry let out a sharp shout. Although his opponent made a little calculation and stopped the impact accumulated by their cavalry regiment, the elf cavalry is the elite of the army after all. After causing a slight commotion, the elf cavalry remained high behind them. The fast cavalry once again split to both sides.

The drow cavalry passed through the passage vacated by their teammates and crashed into the ravine that was almost filled. At noon, the soft pile of corpses had no big impact on the giant lizard and shadow leopard with thick claws, as if they were walking on flat ground. Continue to rush towards the chaotic elven cavalry ahead at an extremely fast speed.

Whoosh whoosh! !

The long-range archers and spellcasters on both sides were shooting to provide more support for each other's teammates. Arrows all over the sky were mixed with shining magic and roared into the crowd. Most of them were lost in the sea, and only a few were among the elves and drow teams. Flowers of blood splashed.

"kill!!"

Teams of drow sword dancers and double swordsmen leaped over the heads of the drow holding spears, chasing the backs of the cavalry in front, fiercely charging into the scattered cavalry, and flesh and blood kept flying between the mounts and figures. rise.

The elven infantry who were a step behind came belatedly, just in time to block the drow cavalry's arrow that pierced the elven cavalry. In an instant, everyone was on their backs again.

The drow's sudden change of formation did cause the elf pursuers to suffer a small loss in the early stages of the fight. However, the elf army's strength was there after all. Although it lost the opportunity, it was not afraid at all. The two thousand soldiers following closely behind The human legions used their flesh and blood to contain the drow cavalry's drilling tactics, causing them to fall into the endless sea of ​​people, buying enough time for the elf companions who reinforced behind.

Of course, the drow army also reacted quickly. Following the gap opened by the cavalry in front, countless drow infantry continued to widen the gap and continued to advance forward. Soon they arrived around the drow cavalry who were trapped in a sea of ​​people. , and immediately launched a rescue operation to help them escape from the quagmire and block the offensive of the elven warriors.

Various orders and horns sounded continuously. Under the command of these orders, soldiers from both sides continued to change their formations and adjust the focus of attack and defense. The scene that was supposed to appear in the inner city of Hanfenggang was now more than a day late. Appeared in the wilderness nearly two hundred miles away from Hanfeng Hill.

Besim rectified the lagging officers at the rear and blew the charge horn in the night. The elven army, which was far stronger and more numerous than the drow army, moved forward with decisive force and hid in the dim starry night. The drow came over.

Besim finally came to his senses. The drow army's counterattack was timed very accurately, and they were ready to launch a counterattack at dusk.

With the arrival of night, the rich experience and field of vision advantages accumulated by the drow from being in the dark world for a long time have been fully utilized. Although the elves are not much hindered in fighting in the dark night, in comparison, they are still At a disadvantage.

More importantly, it is easier to hide the traces of the army in the dark, making it easier for them to march and launch attacks, creating greater difficulties for the scouts sent by the elves to monitor.

"Pass my order and send two more squadrons of scouts to spread out within ten miles from east to west!"

While leading the team to charge, Besim continued to make arrangements for his own worries in a heavy and calm manner.

It is difficult to get off the tiger, and it is impossible to shrink the troops and retreat. At the same time, this wilderness battle is also a great opportunity for the elves. If the main force of the drow army can be severely damaged here, then the difficulty of attacking the city of Bonn will naturally be much reduced.

Compared with siege warfare, fighting in the wilderness at least equalizes the advantages and disadvantages of both armies on the same starting line. This tests the strength of both armies and the command capabilities of their officers.

In this regard, the elf commander Besim and his soldiers are full of confidence. The continuous training exercises for many years have led to today. How can a mere branch of drow migrating to the surface become a noble and powerful elf? opponent! !
  Ping! Ping Ping Cang!
  A little spark flickered in the dark night, and the weapons wielded by countless warriors collided together, playing a symphony of war.

In the southern sky, a hippogryph elf knight was looking intently into the dark jungle. The hippogryph under his crotch worked hard to maintain his figure and looked far away with his sharper eagle eyes, sharing the responsibility for his master.

"Ga~ga~"

Suddenly the hippogryph opened its mouth and let out a harsh and unpleasant cry. The elf knight who was looking down quickly leaned over the head of the animal companion and followed the direction of the hippogryph's eyes to observe carefully.

Phew! Phew! !

A shrill whistling sound came from afar, and the hippogryph knight clamped his legs and kicked. The hippogryph tacitly converged its wings, and fell to the ground upside down. Several arrows above his head happened to pass through the position where he was before.

Just as he was congratulating himself, the elf knight who had escaped the attack suddenly felt a pain in his heart. At the same time, the head of the hippogryph in front of him suddenly exploded. The man and the beast could no longer control their bodies and quickly fell to the ground.

Before dying, the elf knight tried hard to activate a magic firework he was holding tightly in his hand. As a spark dragged a long tail flame into the sky and exploded crisply, a group of crimson fireworks appeared in the dark night. The elf knight then closed his eyes in relief.
