Chapter 54: A tragic fight!

(I will have an exam tomorrow. There is only one change today, but it is still 5,000 words. If I can catch it at night, I will post another chapter of 5,000, because tomorrow may not be at home and there will be no time code. It has been 13 days since I insisted on updating , Strive to get full attendance this month, tell everyone in advance.)

Arrow Rain

A dense rain of arrows enveloped the lizardman warriors

Although they produced a large number of shields temporarily, the shields are simple long shields that are split from logs and put together. If they sound better, they are called shields. If they sound bad, they are actually door panels with handles. Don't underestimate a bow and a shield. These seemingly very common equipment has a lot of production processes. They can only be stored in advance before the war starts. It is quite difficult to make them in a short time.

These door-like shields can block the arrows in front of them, but it is more difficult to block the arrows projected from the top of the head.

Lizardmen can't make a tortoiseshell formation. They use shields to put their heads and tails off their heads. At best, they can reduce casualties. At least holding a shield, able to block a lot of arrows for them, this can be seen from the dense surface of the shield like a hedgehog. Some shields became quite heavy because they were filled with arrows. The lizardman warriors holding them even had to hold them with both hands.

The fire net pouring down by the half-elf archer is really terrifying

It's a pity that the enemy won't stand there and let you shoot. The range of the archer also limits this terrifying firepower to a short distance.

The lizardman warriors relied on their shields to resist, and gradually moved forward. Although they paid a lot of casualties, they managed to close the distance to 100 steps. The lizardman archers in the rear also tried to counterattack with firepower. However, as soon as they fought back, they immediately became the target of half-elf archer firepower. Using arrow rain to shoot against those lizardman heavy infantry holding shields may weaken their lethality. , But it is still very powerful against these lizardmen archers.

Wordy wordy

After only three waves of arrow rain, the lizardman archers were mostly killed and injured, and they never dared to appear again.

"If there are so many elite archers in Athens, it would be easy to sweep the entire southern plains." Murphy looked at the arrow rain covered by a large number of half-elf archers, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

Just like the last time, after the two sides narrowed to fifty steps, the half-elf archer began to retreat, and was topped by the melee melee unit behind.

Although this time it took a lot of time for the lizardmen to draw close to melee combat, but because they were generally equipped with shields, they suffered far less damage than the previous time. Once they entered the melee combat, the lizardmen warriors immediately left behind. After removing the shield, the army of the half-elves was glued together. Under this circumstance, the archer can only project and cover the enemy close behind.

If the front line can block the enemy, they can continue to output firepower.

But if the half-elf warriors on the front cannot stop the lizardmen’s attack, then the archers as the auxiliary units have no way to stop the lizardmen’s footsteps. At that time, it was a big collapse

"Deepen the vertical line"

"The reserve team fills up the Greek heavy infantry on standby." Murphy watched the tragic battle in front of the line, and gave orders with a heavy and calm manner.

The wild combat style of the lizardman heavy infantry is much stronger than the long sword stabbing sword used by the half-elves. It is often a lizardman heavy infantry who puts the battle axe wheel in a half circle with all its strength, regardless of its lethality or its scope. Much better than half-elves. The battle on the front line was very fierce, falling into a strangling state of fighting for life, often requiring the lives of two half-elf warriors to kill a lizardman heavy infantry.

And the enemy’s dying counterattack will also cause a great loss to myself

"It won't work like this. Even if we fight hard, we won't be able to withstand the next attack." Murphy frowned, watching the movements of the lizardman army, so far he has not seen the legendary monitor lizard. Legion, and the enemy doesn’t seem to have the idea of ​​using the giant lizard to break the formation, but is fighting a battle of attrition with half-elves.

"The second gradient moves forward"

"Stable Defense"

Facing the crazy offensive of the lizardmen, Murphy had to expose his cards first. Although he has widened the traditional four battle lines to six battle lines, he has also become shaky under the crazy impact of the lizardmen heavy infantry. The elite forces of Athens are led by the general Riodari, and the Mexican By the side of the Philippine there are twelve fully equipped Greek heavy infantry regiments on standby.

As the herald conveyed Murphy's order loudly, the half-elf ranger and ranger on the second line without shields began to join the battle.

These people are the elite troops of half-elves who are good at individual combat. They are known for their agility and superb swordsmanship. It is a serious waste to throw them into the front line defense. Murphy organized them as a coordinated assault. force. These half-elf rangers and rangers used ten men as combat units, mixed into the previous defensive formation, hiding behind the shield, and waiting to attack the enemy.

As the half-elf ranger joined the battle, the loss of the lizardman heavy infantry suddenly increased.

Often after they struggled to kill the enemy in front of them with one blow, a tricky stabbing sword pierced their hearts like a serpent spit. The enemy never fell in love with the battle after he succeeded, and immediately withdrew back to the defensive line

These half-elf rangers are extremely agile, and they retreat quickly with one blow, and ordinary lizardman warriors can't keep them.

-Woo woo woo

The dull horn sounded, seeing that the lizardmen heavy infantry could not penetrate the enemy's direction, their commander began to dispatch the elite heavy infantry in the Chinese army into the battle

——"Heavy Armor"

Murphy's pupils shrank suddenly, and from the front line separated by the Lizardmen, he saw the elite troops that made his heart tight.

A team of Lizardman warriors with obviously strong physique and much taller appeared in front of the front line. They were uniformly equipped with weird-looking heavy armor, equipped with metal helmets and armed with long-handled battle axes, and gathered in front of the front line. These well-equipped elite lizardmen are about 3,000 people, and their morale and combat effectiveness are much higher than ordinary heavy infantry.

Just a good formation, a bleak murderous aura filled the battlefield

This is a truly elite heavy infantry, an elite force comparable to the heavy infantry in Athens.

"Kane Pollard" Murphy had a solemn face, and quickly issued a military order.

"In the Governor"

"You led the six Greek heavy infantry to stabilize the left line of defense" Murphy threw down the flag and said solemnly.

"Yes" General Kane Pollard nodded in response, and led six teams of fully equipped Greek heavy infantry towards the left line of defense. Under the impact of the lizardman heavy infantry, there was already a little shaky, and the battle was even strangled. Into the third line.

"Altolia"

The girl "Zai" said with a serious expression and firm eyes.

"You lead the Imperial Guards to join the battle. Be sure to support the elite lizardmen. As long as you can last for half an hour, the Athens army can support you."

"Yes"

Under Murphy's order, the girl with a solemn face brought the Palace Guards, the most elite half-elves, to join the battle.

………………

The tragic fight continued, and a strong smell of blood permeated the battlefield.

Although the battle on the front line is extremely fierce, neither side has invested in Murphy, the top troop that can determine the outcome of this war, and is waiting. When the enemy can't help revealing the final trump card, the commander of the lizardman may be the same. The moment Fei could not sit still. Life is dying in the frenzied killing, and the commanders on the battlefield are also gambling with each other. The strength of the two sides has been leveled to a stalemate. Whoever reveals his cards first can win a temporary advantage, but it is likely to lose the whole Battle

The stubborn strangulation on the battlefield of "Lord Murphy" continued. Although the half-elves stabilized the line of defense, the casualties were more severe than those of the Lizardmen. Seeing the tribesmen were killed one after another, a wild druid could not help but speak. .

——"Retreat"

Murphy's face was expressionless, composed, and cold. He roared at the unbearably wild druid, and reprimanded: "Otherwise, it will be dealt with by military law."

murderous look

A powerful coercion burst out suddenly.

Murphy's aura in the war was astonishing, as if it were another person. Not only the wild druid, but also the half-elf queen was taken aback by his aura.

Several wild druids could only clenched their fists and retreated.

Although they really want to join the battle at the moment, they now know more or less what a ‘military order is like a mountain’. If they want to win, they must obey the order.

Murphy's gaze has been staring at the battlefield, his hand has been held on the saber, held tightly, firmly.

The offense on the battlefield is in the hands of the lizardmen, so the initiative is also in their hands. Although the half-elves in passive defense have certain advantages, the greater advantage lies with the lizardmen. ‘Response to all changes in the same way.’ Once Murphy couldn’t help showing his cards first, the half-elf’s defense was full of loopholes. As long as the lizardmen’s monitor lizard army avoids Murphy’s elite troops and attacks other weak links, then their heavy infantry army can expand the results and collapse the entire defense line of the half-elves.

At that time, it was really helpless.

The lizardman couldn't help showing his cards first, so Murphy could adjust his tactics to deal with it. But once Murphy couldn't help showing his trump card first, the Lizardmen army would easily smash the half-elf's defense.

kill

kill

kill

Roaring, gasping, tiredness enveloped everyone

The battle that lasted for nearly half an hour made both sides blindfolded, and the huge consumption of physical energy caused each other to send the soldiers of the reserve team to the battlefield. In such a tragic hand-to-hand battle, even the Athens army suffered a lot of casualties, and the Greek heavy infantry suffered nearly 40% damage. Some half-elf archers also took up their weapons after shooting arrows to join the hand-to-hand combat.

This is a test of endurance and will

The wild druids have invited Murphy to fight several times, but they have been suppressed by Murphy again and again.

Not yet time

Even if it is to fill in with life, it must be filled in until the enemy can't help but send the monitor lizard army to the battlefield. The Greek heavy infantry beside Murphy has all been put into the battle, even the Spartans he brought. The heavy infantry was also sent to support the half-elf guards that had fallen into a stalemate on the battlefield. In such a large-scale war, unless it is a force beyond the legend, the individual's combat effectiveness is almost negligible.

It is impossible to defend all the dead spots in the battle, even an orc sword saint will be drowned in the boundless sea of ​​people.

No one knows the pressure Murphy is under at the moment

As the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, Murphy's heart is under heavier pressure at this moment than anyone else.

But he must persist, he must endure

Endure until the lizardman himself can't bear it.

………………

Dong dong dong

The rapid sound of war drums came from the enemy's army, and the heavy footsteps of some large creatures stomping on the ground also sounded.

"Finally can't help it?" Murphy showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. He picked up the telescope and looked at the lizardman's main formation, and suddenly saw nearly a hundred monitor lizards gathered together, and some lizardmen tame. The Beastmaster sat on the monitor lizard and began to drive them towards the battlefield. These huge war beasts stepped forward, trampled on the ground, and trot closer to the battlefield.

Bang bang bang

The sound of nearly a hundred monitor lizards running is like a thousand horses. The earth shook after being overwhelmed. It hasn't joined the battle yet. Just such a momentum is enough to completely suppress the enemy.

--"Roar"

The appearance of the monitor lizard legion made the lizardmen warriors fighting on the front line high in morale, immediately inspiring their fighting spirit, and the offensive was a bit fierce.

And under the huge momentum of the monitor lizard army, some half-elf warriors turned pale, just gritted their teeth and resisted with the will to defend their homeland. If Murphy had no cards to fight against these monitor lizard army, they might not be needed. Assault, the half-elf army had already begun to disintegrate. After all, it is quite difficult to fight against such a war beast with the power of mortals. Because many people have already lost the courage to fight when facing such terrifying creatures

Clang

Murphy drew the sword from his waist and shouted, "Ballista"

"500 meters to the right of the battlefield centerline"

"Array"

"aim"

Ballistas were pushed onto the battlefield. The half-elf soldiers lined up the ballistas. The mechanics began to fill the ammunition and adjust the shooting angle. Four teams of Silver Shield Corps infantry also appeared on the battlefield, guarding them around the hundred ballistas. With the appearance of this siege equipment, the morale of the half-elf army suddenly improved. On the contrary, the lizardman trainers who drove the monitor lizard panicked.

Even if they don't know what it is, the structure of the ballista alone makes them feel a huge threat.

It's a pity that time is too late

As the longest-range siege weapon in the Cold Weapons Age, the Greek ballista is not as capable of reaching a range of nearly 1.5 kilometers as the middle-earth composite bed crossbow, but it is also sufficient to include the monitor lizard legions that appear within the range of the incident range. Inside. Not to mention whether the compound bed crossbow of Middle-earth has an exaggerated range of 1.5 kilometers, but there is no doubt that the Athens ballista has a range of more than one mile.

"Launch" Murphy heavily swung down the sword in his hand.

——Boom

The torsion spring made an overwhelming muffled sound, and then more than a hundred heavy javelins pierced the air and made a sharp whistle. With huge kinetic energy, they were shot at the monitor lizards that were charging.

The ballista has fairly good accuracy. Although there is no way to hit the vitals of the monitor lizards, it is still very easy to hit the monitor lizards with a body diameter of nearly 2.5 meters. It is almost an instant thing. Those who were still alive before. The monitor lizard that was shockingly charging towards the half-elf army uttered a scream, and then slammed on the ground with a loud crash. The powerful inertia force threw the lizardman trainer on them heavily and landed on them. On the battlefield, even if he was immortal, he was almost fractured.

And some unlucky lizardman animal trainers were crushed by the monitor lizard weighing in units of ten tons, completely silent.

In just one round of shooting, more than a dozen of the monitor lizards that rushed forward died on the battlefield.

Five to ten heavy javelins were inserted into these monitor lizards. With the powerful kinetic energy of the ballista, almost all of these heavy javelins were submerged in the body of the monitor lizard. Only one after another was seen. His blood hole was spurting blood out. Although the monitor lizards shot by the heavy javelin have not died immediately, they have lost their mobility, and death is only a matter of time.

"Long live victory"

Seeing that the monitor lizard army was frustrated, the morale of the half-elf army was greatly boosted, and they cheered again to gather confidence to fight, and even launched a counterattack against the lizardmen.

………………

The distance is nearly 450 meters, which is enough for the ballista to fire two more times.

The lizardman’s commander obviously also realized that it was undoubtedly a dead end for the lizard army to retreat at this time, so he could only order the shaman to beat the drums and let the lizard army rush over as long as it can rush to the enemy’s line. In, the lethality of those siege equipment, no matter how strong it is, is nothing but a pile of broken logs.

Victory belongs to it

Three rounds of ballista shooting took away nearly 70% of the monitor lizards. However, after the distance was reduced to 100 meters, there were still more than 30 monitor lizards rushing over. Just let them rush. Entering the half-elf's defense line, then the situation cannot be restored because no one can stop the steps of these behemoths charging, they will crush the half-elf's line like a flesh and blood crusher.

but

At this moment, the wild druid who finally received Murphy's order let out a roar

They came to the battlefield with boundless anger, witnessing the death of their clan but not being able to join the battle. They have already turned these wild druids into angry beasts. They roared and their bodies began to swell and change. The high-ranking wild druid of the Soul's roar, under the mysterious power of the transformation system, transformed into a huge brown bear

High Wild Druid
