Green Monster Epic
#932 - The Elf's Choice
The dwarf legion warriors, built like iron barrels, advanced slowly and methodically towards the foot of the mountain in front of the fortress, enduring the rain of arrows, flying spears, and even the impact of huge boulders and war tree seeds from the elves above.
The city walls were on the verge of collapse. Even if the city defense facilities were intact, they might not be able to withstand the continuous and concentrated attacks of twenty-five cannons comparable to a legendary strike for long, let alone with the dwarf gunners specifically targeting the weak points of this dilapidated city!
The elf warriors on the high walls seemed to understand their situation as well, doing their best to inflict losses on the dwarf army below while they still held the advantage of terrain.
Just as the dwarf legion finally reached the base of the fortress and was about to begin the siege of War Hammer Fortress, a series of melodious bugle calls suddenly rang out from the high walls above!
Woo woo ~ ~
Squeak squeak ~ ~
The dilapidated and heavy city gate of War Hammer Fortress slowly opened before the dwarf legion soldiers. Before the dwarf warriors could seize the opportunity to launch an attack on the gate, a heavily armored cavalry force shimmering with metallic luster had already charged out.
"Kill! !"
Boom! Boom boom! !
The elf warriors on the city walls suddenly erupted in a small climax, with more and more lethal weapons launching volleys at an ultra-high frequency. Each volley was like throwing money onto the battlefield, but it also plunged the dwarves and wilderness warriors below into a series of riots.
It took the elven heavy cavalry tens of minutes to pour out of this huge doorway. Along the gentle slope in front of the fortress, they didn't need much distance to accelerate. The heavily armored steeds quickly galloped, crashing head-on into the dwarf heavy shield infantry in the front.
The strongest and sharpest spear in the legion's battle formation met the most solid and heavy shield. No one could predict in advance whether the spear would be superior or the heavy shield would be stronger.
Thump! Thump! !
The heavy cavalry legion, coming down from a height in a sharp arrowhead formation, violently crashed into the front of the dwarf heavy infantry legion, who had thrust their heavy and wide shields into the ground in advance, forming a long wall in a short time.
The elven cavalry at the very front were the most unlucky. After crashing into this long wall, they felt dizzy and disoriented. Before they could make any other movements, they were squeezed by the uncontrollable reinforcements from their comrades behind, their armor deformed on the spot, and their seemingly powerful bodies were crushed by the huge force, causing internal bleeding, and then they turned into wisps of wandering souls.
The soldiers of the dwarf legion were also not doing well. The veins of the dwarves in the first row were bulging, their faces turning red, and their eyeballs were bulging as if they were about to fall out of their sockets.
The first wave of impact almost destroyed the dwarf shield wall. In the end, the comrades in the rear rows of the dwarf队伍 tacitly exerted force collectively to resist when the impact approached, which allowed them to maintain the integrity of their formation.
At the same time, spears stretched out from the shield wall. Regardless of the position of the opponent behind the shield, the spear-wielding dwarf warriors only cared about constantly thrusting, and there would always be a sense of obstruction from hitting hard objects or a sense of stagnation from stabbing into flesh.
However, when the second and third waves of concentrated impact from the heavy cavalry came, even if the dwarf warriors behind the heavy shield long wall tried their best, the long wall could not help but dent backward. When the first long wall collapsed, the second long wall behind it would meet the subsequent impact.
Following the heavy cavalry was a faster elven light cavalry legion. When the 20,000 light cavalry charged down from the gentle slope, they split into two torrents, avoiding the formation of the heavy cavalry, and shot a rain of arrows towards the rear of the dwarf square while galloping.
Alberd frowned and shouted instructions at the same time.
"The Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Legions, advance one thousand five hundred meters! !"
The wilderness legion warriors, whose formation was somewhat scattered, heard this order, and then four ten-thousand-man legions marched out of the main force and began to advance towards the foot of the mountain on the battlefield more than two thousand meters away.
The wilderness legion's line was located on the left wing of the battlefield, maintaining a certain distance from the remaining hundreds of thousands of main force of the Dwarf Kingdom. Just as they reacted under the command of Alberd, the dwarf legion, under the orders of Graybeard and his subordinates, also separated 50,000 troops from the main force to reinforce their companions who were being impacted.
The 40,000 soldiers of the wilderness legion approached the battlefield, but did not directly intervene. Instead, under the orders of the officers in the army, they began to prepare their defensive formation against the rain of arrows from the elven archers on the city wall.
Although the wilderness legion's northward journey was for practical training, the weaknesses of their legion were also very obvious. Not to mention the serious problems such as the legion's formation and formation changes being full of mistakes, even the most important knight leader of a legion, this northern coalition was also very embarrassed.
In addition to the two legendary knights temporarily transferred from the Oak Camp to sit in the legion, no other legendary knights appeared among the remaining twenty or so powerhouses in the North. Now, a legion relies on only a dozen or so middle and high-level knights to support it.
Although these dozen knight leaders displayed their domains, after careful allocation by Alberd and the members of his subordinate staff, they could also cover the entire legion, but compared to the domain strength and effect of a legendary knight, the legion strength that these dozen knights could improve was actually still very different.
Super-large tribes with a scale of more than one million basically have their own knight inheritance families. Generally speaking, the tribal ruling class will also cultivate one or two legendary knights to sit in town, so as to play a major role in various possible military operations.
Because the Green Field Tribe has Allen, a leader with foresight, although the tribe's population size is not yet considered a super-large tribe, it has long begun to cultivate knights for the tribe's long-term plan. However, although the legendary level knight breakthrough is a relatively easier path to walk among all professions, it also requires strength, resources, and talent investment, and it is not so easy to cultivate a legendary knight.
Therefore, among the nearly 500,000 wilderness army, there are only a few two or three legendary knights who can truly exert the effect of a large army, which is fundamentally incomparable to the nearly ten wilderness and church knights in the wilderness coalition on the southern Manaca grassland.
Without a legendary knight commander, the legion is not completely unable to compete with a legion with a legendary knight, but it will always suffer a lot, coupled with the lack of practical training of the Thorns Coalition itself, Alberd certainly does not want to use his fragile eggs to touch this hard stone. He only hopes to build a position first, and let the soldiers slowly become familiar with the battlefield by defending instead of attacking.
It's just a pity that Mario, the commander of the elven side, doesn't seem to intend to give Alberd and the others a chance to train their troops. When more elven infantry and archers jumped out of the city gate and the city wall after the elven light cavalry突出要塞, Alberd, Graybeard and other generals realized the true plan of the elven army.
It's a bit lazy when the weather is hot, and my thoughts are chaotic at night, but another month has passed, and at least 100,000+ have been updated. This month is considered diligent.
