Chapter 325 Bloody Battle
Under the heavy protection of the big shield soldiers, Howell gritted his teeth and controlled the movement of the Storm Technique.
At this moment, there was no trace of blood on his face, and even blood was already spilling out from the corners of his mouth.
The consumption of maintaining the Storm Technique is so terrifying that the mana in his body is being frantically drained.
After only a few breaths, even the sky-blue gem at the top of the staff became dull.
As his magic power was completely drained, Howell, who could no longer bear the burden, could no longer bear the burden, spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
At this time, he had exhausted his mana and mental power. Before his body fell to the ground, he had already lost consciousness and fainted.
With Howell's fainting, the raging storm lost the support of his mana and dissipated invisible in an instant, and then a large rain of blood was scattered from the sky above the battlefield.
Looking at the blood rain floating all over the sky, Xia Qi's eyes were full of tears. These were all his soldiers from Daxia!!
After this spell, I don’t know how many soldiers he sacrificed.
However, as the commander of the First Army, he must maintain his rationality.
"retreat?"
This thought just flashed through Xia Qi's mind, and then it was abandoned by him.
"A spell attack like that is absolutely impossible to cast at will!"
Xia Qi, who knew this in his heart, directly signaled the messengers beside him to blew the horn of assembly, and the war drum was also beaten.
With the vigorous and turbulent sound of war drums, the morale of the soldiers on the Daxia side began to gradually increase.
"The whole army gathers!!!"
The black imperial flag representing Xia Qi's identity was raised high, and the flag fluttering in the wind undoubtedly became the backbone of the soldiers at this moment, and the soldiers around them moved towards the position where the royal flag was erected.
However, under such a situation, how could Wang Arthur on the opposite side give him a chance to regroup?
After calling two elves to take care of Howell who fainted and sent him back to the city, Wang Arthur waved the sword in his hand.
Then he roared angrily: "The whole army charges!!"
The killing sound of the elves shocked the sky. The storm swept over the army of elves whose morale was greatly boosted afterwards, and rushed towards the army that was defeated in blood due to the hurricane in Daxia.
The situation changed so quickly that Jin Ming, who had just found a seat, looked confused.
"what to do?"
I looked back at the other soldiers behind me and found that the soldiers were looking at him. This situation hasn't happened in a long time.
"Don't worry! Open fire for me!!! Open fire!!!"
The soldiers who received the order immediately launched their actions. After a quick operation, fifty eight-ox crossbows and catapults launched an attack on the approaching elves army at the same time.
The crossbow arrows of the Baniu Crossbow were all replaced by mother-child arrows with group lethality. At this time, the casting cart was filled with no longer a whole stone, but stone bullets that were the size of fists.
These scattered arrows and stone bullets were all specially prepared by Xia Qi for this battle. They can be said to be another trump card in his hand.
After the war started, he handed over the specific command work to Jin Ming, who was the goblin king.
The large-scale armament was too bulky and it was inconvenient to move. Jin Ming took advantage of the forest cover and took the goblin soldiers and the big shield soldiers all the way.
It was only now that he finally pushed these hundred large-scale ordnances to the output position he saw.
The violent firepower caught the elves off guard on the spot. No one expected that there would be such a fierce attack at that position.
At this moment, Wang Arthur, who was located in the army of elves, also changed his expression.
Because he grabbed the lead advantage as soon as he started fighting, Xia Qi's ordnance troops had no place to use their skills, and he was left behind after a long time.
But who would have thought that the ordnance troops that had been paddling for so long had begun to exert force at this time?
And one round of fire is such a rapid attack?
The blockbuster screams echoed on the battlefield, and Arthur Wang's first reaction was to get rid of the threat.
However, he was unable to reach the area where the catapult cart and the Eight Niu Crossbow were located, and there was a line of defense composed of large shield soldiers nearby!
As soon as an ordinary elf soldier approaches, he will be attacked. Even if he is lucky enough to rush up, he will be intercepted by the big shield soldiers.
If you want to destroy the siege weapons, you can only rush up by a large number of troops.
But the problem is here. Daxia not only has siege equipment, but also has a large number of other troops.
Thinking of this, Wang Arthur immediately called the elf archers and wanted to name the crossbowmen who manipulated the crossbows one by one.
However, at this moment, the archers and cavalry units, which had been in a state of silence, saw the opportunity and began to attack them.
Under Krey's leadership, the archers and cavalry troops began to quickly narrow the distance between the two sides. While galloping wildly, they shot over with two volleys.
The elves mages used first-level magic wind pressure to resolve the problem as always.
Seeing this, Krey suddenly showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he reached out and pulled out a bloodletting gun from one saddle!
"All bloodletting guns are ready!"
While Krey made a sound, the opponent's rear troops had already entered the attack range of their bloodletting guns.
"Target, enemy archer troops, let it go!"
I have to say that Krey's intuition is keen. He did not go through much analysis in his mind. He could just rely on his own feelings to sense that the threat from the elves archers on the opposite side was the greatest.
So, he made such a decision decisively.
His big decision was correct, because even a first-level spell could not be played with casually.
Every spell consumes their mana and mental power.
From the start of the war to now, after losing so many spells by the elf mage on the opposite side, his mana has been exhausted at this time.
In comparison, those elf archers who keep bent their bows and arrows are more difficult.
The formation thrown by the bloodletting gun was simply overwhelming, and the locked elves archers' faces suddenly changed.
The elf mages on the side wanted to save the scene, but at this time they were extremely tired in their mental state, and their chanting efficiency had greatly decreased in terms of their reactions and spells.
Many of these elves can no longer keep up with the high intensity rhythm of continuous spell casting.
If first-level spells like Qingfeng Technique cannot be used in large quantities, the effect will only be pitifully weak.
Therefore, the limited Qingfeng Technique cannot shake the attack of the bloodletting gun at all.
The huge number of bloodletting guns swept towards the formation of the elf archers' troops like a storm. With the inertia when falling, the sharp spear tip easily penetrated the fragile body of the elf soldier.
Accompanied by screams, a large amount of blood dyed the entire land red in a short period of time!
The rear and flanks of the elves were attacked by the archers and ordnance units at the same time. The successive changes made Arthur Wang feel quite worried.
He had just used the Storm Technique to severely reduce the strength of the main army on the opposite side, why did it become like this the next moment?
Was washed away by the blood-launched guns of the archers and the elf archers at this time, obviously there was no spare energy to snipe the ordnance unit.
Wang Arthur's heart, who realized this, obviously sank.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!! How could I lose?!!!"
His eyes swept quickly across the battlefield, and Arthur Wang forced himself to calm down.
"The casualties of the main army on the opposite side are real. The current situation is because I was restrained from both sides by the archer and cavalry troops on the opposite side."
After understanding this, a trace of determination suddenly flashed across Wang Arthur's face.
"The whole army charges!!!"
At this time, Wang Arthur had already determined in his heart that the front main army was Xia Qi's weakness. As long as the main army was defeated, the threats that the archers and shield troops in charge of restraining could pose to him would be greatly reduced.
When he thought of this, after Wang Arthur transferred the large shield troops to protect the elf mage and elf archers in the back row, he directly led the elf army to kill him!
Looking at the army of elves coming towards him, a drop of cold sweat fell from Xia Qi's forehead. He didn't know whether to say that King Arthur was a bachelor enough or that he could react quickly enough, but he actually made a desperate choice to rush straight to his main army.
But Xia Qi had to admit that he was really caught by the opponent's weakness.
At that time, whether Wang Arthur concentrated his troops to deal with the archers or the ordnance troops, he could have bought him valuable time.
Now, this time is not enough for Xia Qi to completely gather the main army that had dispersed before. At present, less than 5,000 troops had just gathered around him.
"Bear!"
As the number one elite under Xia Qi, the Imperial City Imperial Guards gathered together even when they avoided the hurricane before.
After that, Xia Qi's King's Flag rushed over and naturally came here as soon as possible.
At present, there is only the Imperial City Imperial Guards who can block those elves.
"Imperial City Imperial Guards, follow me... Kill!!!"
"kill!!!"
There were only more than a thousand people, but the power that broke out from the Imperial City Imperial Guard made the elves feel a sense of combat power in their hearts.
In particular, the dry blood and the minced meat stuck inside could be vaguely seen on their armor.
Among the elves, many soldiers' faces turned pale, and their steps unconsciously slowed down a lot.
Wang Arthur, who noticed this change, instantly turned ugly.
"Xia Qi really spent a lot of money on heavy armored infantry wearing all over his body!"
It is not easy to maintain such a unit, not only because of weapons and armor, but also because of such a heavy armored unit, the materials required for long-term training are very amazing.
Players at low levels have relatively limited resources. Instead of spending hard work and training heavy armored infantry, they would rather get thousands of light infantry out casually.
Wang Arthur could feel that this army was probably the elite among the elite.
Howell's storm technique just now made the morale of ordinary soldiers plummet. However, the imperial guards in front of him seemed to have not been affected much, and the morale of the army was basically unshakable.
Before he could think too much, Wang Arthur shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys the order! Kill one person and reward a hundred coins! Kill ten people and chieftains! Kill twenty people and chieftains! Those who kill enemy generals will be awarded a title and rewarded ten thousand golds!!!"
I don’t know if it was Wang Arthur’s morale-boosting skill that played a role or the temptation of reward was hard to refuse. The elf army instantly boosted its morale and roared towards the imperial guards in the distance.
The bear grinned, his eyes full of murderous intent.
