Chapter 233 Changes
"Blow the horn for me and attack!"
On the battlefield, casualties are unavoidable, and the enemy will not stop attacking just because your army has suffered casualties.
Although his body ached, Hanadan could only grit his teeth and endure it.
The sound of passionate horns echoed on the battlefield. Seeing that the enemy had launched an attack, Xia Qi and Xiao Ke immediately signaled the Crossbow troops to withdraw Chuan Nu.
The men and horses on both sides rained arrows at each other, hoping to suppress the other side.
Along with the sound of the horn, the remaining ten war elephants in the opposite military formation let out an elephant cry at the same time, and then launched a sprint towards Xia Qi's military formation.
Because Xia Qi did not carry a unit equipped with shields this time, Xiao Ke's large shield soldiers formed the forefront of the siege.
However, facing the ten war elephants opening the way on the opposite side, these large shield soldiers really lacked the confidence.
Upon seeing this, Xia Qi immediately signaled four elephant men to come forward to help.
Seeing the elephant man who was even bigger than the war elephant, the soldiers felt a little more confident.
The battle was about to break out. At the moment when the two armies collided head-on, there was no evenly matched situation. The entire situation was one-sided.
The huge war elephant immediately broke through the defense line composed of large shield soldiers, and with a flick of its nose, several soldiers flew into the sky.
Although Xia Qi's elephant men can suppress the opposing war elephants in terms of size and strength, the problem is that he only has four elephant men and can only suppress four war elephants at the same time.
The soldiers flew into the sky non-stop. When Xia Qi and Xiao Ke saw this scene, their faces began to twitch.
Xia Qi never imagined that when the number of war elephants increases, they can actually unleash such powerful destructive power.
He couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, Kang Shuaibo's civilization didn't have so many war elephants. Otherwise, without adequate preparation, he would have easily fallen into passivity and even lost the invasion battle.
The morale of Xiao Ke's infantry unit has obviously been hit. If this continues, the morale of his army will soon collapse.
"The whole army charges!!!"
Xiao Ke made a prompt decision and launched a total attack.
The horn of attack sounded, and Xia Qi immediately led the orc army under his command. Xia Qi immediately fought with the soldiers on the opposite side.
The spearmen in the front row of Hanadan were no match for the orc army. The tauren infantry wielded the bronze battle axes in their hands. Cutting them was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
But the spearmen on the opposite side were not foolhardy. Knowing that they would die if they escaped, they directly launched a suicidal charge towards the tauren.
Although the individual value of the tauren is much higher than that of these spearmen, the tauren are not without their weaknesses.
Quantity is their biggest weakness!
Despite the desperate counterattack by the spearmen, the Tauren inevitably suffered casualties.
Seeing the casualties among his tauren infantry, Xia Qirou gritted his teeth in pain.
The war continues.
As the troops from the opposite side pressed forward, Hanadan and the archer troops in the back row were gradually exposed.
Seeing the opportunity, Richard, who had been staying away from the military formation, decisively led four hundred wolf warriors with pairs of swords to dispatch.
One after another, swift figures quickly cut into the battlefield and directly attacked the enemy's back row troops. This sudden change caused Hanadan's expression to change suddenly as he sat on the back of the war elephant.
Under normal circumstances, he is not afraid of being cut into the back row, because the camel cavalry under his command are the nemesis of ordinary cavalry, and the stench emitted by the camels can scare the horses.
Surrounding his war elephant mount were a hundred camel cavalry who served as his personal bodyguards.
Under normal circumstances, the cavalry cannot get close, and the infantry is too slow. This time is enough for him to mobilize troops to return reinforcements.
But Hanadan ignored that this Xia Qi was not an ordinary civilized player.
The double-sword warrior wolf is extremely fast, even if it is not as good as a war horse, it is much faster than those camel cavalry wearing heavy armor.
The double-sword warriors quickly closed the distance between the two sides. As for the stench emitted by the camels, it was just a bit offensive to the werewolves.
Hanadan sent a message to ask the nearest camel cavalry to come back for reinforcements, but Xia Qi, who also saw this scene, would not let him get what he wanted, so he decisively sent three Chang Wei.
At this time, Chang Wei, Lai Fu and Xiao Hua can be said to be truly giant beasts, with a shoulder height of nearly five meters.
As for why Xia Qi didn't send out to deal with those war elephants earlier, I can only say that he knows everything.
The three giant wolves jumped directly into the camel cavalry. Facing them, the tall camel was just a little kid.
Chang Wei and the others ran rampant among the camel cavalry, temporarily blocking the reinforcements.
The current frontal battlefield has turned into a hodgepodge. Xia Qi's orc army, Xiao Ke's infantry unit, and Hanadan's army, the three parties have been completely fighting together.
Seeing that the war elephant on the opposite side was about to break through the defense line formed by the large shield soldiers, Xia Qi decisively sent the lion men who had been his personal guards up.
The performance of these thirty lion-men was quite impressive. Perhaps their individual strength could not compare with the opponent's war elephant, but several lion-men together could still deal with one war elephant.
On the other side, the double-sword wolf warrior was already approaching. Hanadan was surrounded by a hundred camel cavalry, but at this time, he could not feel the slightest sense of security.
"Escort me! Come and escort me!!" Hanadan shouted loudly.
However, after entering the battlefield, how can you withdraw if you want?
The double-sword warrior wolf had already reached the enemy's rear row, and Hanadan's archer unit was directly massacred.
Facing such an enemy, these archers could not organize an effective resistance.
After the archer troops were slaughtered, the double-sword warriors turned their target to Hanadan.
Feeling the sights falling on him and realizing that he had become the target of the wolf cavalry, Hanadan suddenly felt a mixture of shock and anger, and quickly signaled the camel soldiers around him to charge forward.
However, facing four times the number of enemy troops, these camel cavalry were no match at all.
Hanadan was in a bad mood after suffering successive setbacks.
The orc army is attacking fiercely, and the situation on the main battlefield is not optimistic. But when you open the system panel and send out letters asking for help, there is no response.
"Damn it! When those bastards saw that they were facing famous orc players, they were unwilling to come to support!"
After his face darkened, Hanadan gritted his teeth and made a decision, that is, he would support himself!
The support authority does have such a usage. In invasion mode, when other players cannot be recruited as foreign aid, you can also choose to call in reinforcements from your own world again.
Of course, this approach will, to a large extent, lead to a lack of military strength within your own civilization, and other players may take advantage of it.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, most players will not excessively mobilize the forces within their civilization. However, in the current situation, Hanadan seems to have no other choice.
After several rounds of fighting, the elephant soldiers on the opposite side were suppressed by Xia Qi's elephants and lion men, while Hanadan's ordinary soldiers also suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing that they were about to establish a clear advantage and then take advantage of the situation to seal the victory, unexpectedly, at this moment, a burst of passionate horn sounds suddenly sounded, and a new force came out of the opposite city!
Fifteen war elephants, four thousand spearmen, two thousand sword and shield soldiers, and one thousand camel soldiers, there is no doubt that this is a strong reinforcement.
The arrival of reinforcements from the opposite side suddenly made Xia Qi and Xiao Ke feel unhappy.
Realizing that the situation was not good, Richard decisively led his wolf cavalry to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield.
Glancing at the escaping wolf cavalry, Hanadan sneered on his face, but did not pursue it.
He also knew in his heart that the main battlefield in front of him was the key to the outcome of this war. The army alone could not determine the victory of a war.
Hanadan waved his hand. This time, relying on the supporting army behind him, he directly rode his war elephant mount and personally led the army into the battlefield, hoping to reverse the situation and seal the victory in one fell swoop.
This was a force that could not be ignored. Just one wave of impact almost overwhelmed Xia Qi's army. The situation that had finally become clear was suddenly turned into a pool of muddy water.
At this time, Xia Qi was riding lightning, covered in the blood of his enemies. He flicked the bronze spear in his hand, and a blood chain suddenly appeared on the ground.
At this moment, his five-star bravery value was fully displayed in this war.
However, the situation in this war was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to them. Xia Qi felt that he needed to have a good talk with Xiao Ke.
As a result, when he found Xiao Ke, there was an unexpected look on his face.
At this time, Xiao Ke looked extremely embarrassed. His helmet and even his horse were missing. Now he was holding a bronze sword and breathing heavily under the protection of a team of guards.
Xia Qi took a deep breath and led his human escorts to rush in the direction of Xiao Ke.
I saw that Xia Qi shot one enemy soldier at a time, and was so brave that Xiao Ke was dumbfounded.
We are all players, why are you so much better than me?
"You...are you a strong player?"
Xia Qi did not answer his question, but directly said: "The situation is not right, the reinforcements on the other side are fierce, we have to retreat temporarily, regroup and fight another day!"
After hearing this, Xiao Ke nodded feebly, agreeing with Xia Qi's statement, mainly because he could no longer support it.
Subsequently, the trumpeter blew the retreat horn, and the troops on the battlefield began a tactical retreat.
Under the long-range cover of bed crossbows, goblin crossbowmen and archer troops, Xia Qi commanded the main army to fight and retreat.
"Catch them and kill them all!"
Hanadan, on the other hand, finally gained the upper hand. Obviously, he did not want to give them a chance to regroup, and directly led his army to pursue the victory, hoping to secure victory in one fell swoop.
The pursuers from behind were chasing them, which made Xiao Ke's psychological pressure continue to rise, and he became worried about gains and losses.
He shook his head to throw away the messy things, then picked up a water bag and poured a few sips of water into his mouth. Xiao Ke finally regained his energy.
"Retreat to the northwest, there is a valley there!"
After hearing this, Xia Qi quickly began to command the army to adjust its retreat direction.
After another chase, a mountain stream appeared, and after entering the mountain stream, there was a valley with a large area.
However, the environment in this valley is very poor, almost entirely covered with rocks, and there is no water source. Perhaps for this reason, Xiao Ke did not build a city here.
After Xia Qi and others entered the valley, a group of large shield soldiers directly blocked the exit of the mountain stream, followed closely by goblin crossbowmen and red fox archers.
If this place wasn't too narrow, Xia Qi would definitely put out the bed crossbow.
Hanadan tried to launch several rounds of charges, hoping to attack them all at once, but the long-range firepower on the other side was really fierce, and he was beaten back every time.
This situation made him look ugly for a while. What the guys on the other side were doing now was basically the same as a group of players blocking the entrance to spawn monsters in a leveling game.
Moreover, even if he finally rushes in, there will still be a large number of enemy troops waiting for him behind. Even if he wins, he will have to pay a huge price.
