"Ciceria!" Hundreds of small troops marched together and once again rushed into the position of the Divine Alliance. Under the command of the officers, these soldiers kept shouting slogans in their own styles - they used this to judge
Position of friendly forces.
In silence, the special troops behind them arrived first and entered the maze-like earth wall first.
These special soldiers...or perhaps it is more appropriate to call them martial artists. They have received extraordinary training from childhood until adulthood and exist in the army as a force that can turn the tide of the war at critical moments. Whether it is physical fitness or
The mental reaction is completely different from that of ordinary soldiers. The ordinary soldiers of the Divine Alliance Army are also out of reach.
Either walking between the earthen walls as fast as lightning, or directly climbing over the wall and crossing the street, the guarding Divine Alliance soldiers only felt that the figure in front of them flickered, and the figure that had not taken action in the first place had disappeared.
A poisonous scorpion warrior passed over the earth wall, swinging his two swords alternately in the gleaming silver light. A row of divine coalition crossbowmen hidden behind the wall fell down the earth wall one after another, and fell to the ground.
Several powerful crossbows were all ready to fire, but under the astonishing speed of the poisonous scorpion warriors, they had no chance to fight back.
The three spearmen shouted in unison, and stabbed a burly enemy soldier through the earth wall with their pistols. Unexpectedly, the enemy's sword in his right hand had already held three spears, and then he slammed his whole body towards the earth wall.
When he hit it, there was a burst of dust, and he had already opened a big hole in the earthen wall. Before the three Divine Alliance spearmen could react, they had cut it into six pieces.
Relying on their special combat skills, these special units broke into the position again and again. After ascertaining the terrain ahead, they directly led small groups of troops to charge in! These people rushed forward and were responsible for killing the enemy ax throwers in the hiding place.
and crossbowmen, and the soldiers behind them formed a camp step by step, dividing their labors to clear every inch of the earthen wall, and then mark the selected advance and retreat passages.
Who are the ordinary soldiers of the God's Alliance Army who are their opponents? Under the violent attacks of the special forces, the front lines of the God's Alliance Army's positions were frequently in emergency! Colorful clothes flew up and down between the earthen walls, and rain of blood sprayed everywhere on the battle line. Screams of agony.
Amidst the sound, the broken bodies of soldiers were being deliberately thrown into the sky. Some special units grabbed the enemy soldiers who were still alive and jumped onto the earth wall. They moved left and right to avoid crossbows, arrows and axes, while slowly torturing the living people in their hands to death.
…
These people are seeking revenge, establishing their authority, and even challenging the entire Phantom Legion officers and soldiers!
Watching all of this, countless Godly Alliance soldiers in the back positions let out cries of grief and indignation. For the soldiers of the Ninth Legion, apart from Chief Cohen, they are the closest comrades around them. Watching their comrades die is the most heartbreaking thing.
However, they knew that they were no match, so they could only stare with red eyes, waiting to see the fate of these enemy soldiers.
Chief Cohen will never let these enemy soldiers live any longer! Because Chief Cohen loves the lives of his soldiers the most!
They...will definitely die ugly!
A poisonous scorpion warrior had just finished clearing the crossbowmen behind an earth wall. While he was jumping between the earth walls, a roaring arrow flew towards him unhurriedly.
The poisonous scorpion warrior smiled coldly and struck down with his sword without even looking, cutting the resounding arrow into two pieces at arm's length.
There was a muffled sound of "Poof!", but a ball of white stuff flew out from the two broken arrows and enveloped the poisonous scorpion warrior. In just a moment, the magic blessed on the arrows tore his body into pieces.
fragments.
From chopping arrows, being surrounded by magic to farting, the poisonous scorpion warrior didn't even have time to scream.
However, the soldiers behind him were frightened by the spreading blood mist and shouted in unison. In the minds of the demon coalition soldiers, special units such as the poisonous scorpion warriors were simply a myth. In normal battles, strong winds
Wandering around in the enemy's camp, breaking through the enemy's defense line was just for fun. Not to mention death, the chance of even being slightly injured was slim. And such an inexplicable way of death, how could they not be surprised.
Before their screams could subside and the blood mist above their heads had not dissipated, a special unit led by another unit had already arrived to support them. This was a barbarian. He wielded a giant ax and directly broke through the earthen wall.
Rushed in!
There was a flash of bright light in a trance, and the soldiers outside only heard a loud bang from inside, and then there was no sound again. Before they could break out in cold sweat on their foreheads, a large area of black ash came out from the earth wall along with a burning smell.
It floated out of the hole.
As if they knew there was trouble here, two more special units came over without saying a word and jumped in from the earth walls on the left and right sides respectively. Their movements were fast, their outflanking tactics were appropriate, and their postures were even very graceful!
There was a loud killing sound inside, and the results were immediately known.
The lives of these two people were relatively miserable. They jumped in from the air, and then somersaulted out after a while. However, one was blazing with fire, while the other was frozen into solid ice.
"Pah! Pah!" Two sounds, and they fell from mid-air.
When the one who was on fire fell, his body had been severely shrunken, and his height and weight were about the same as a child. The one who was frozen was even worse. Every time his body hit the ground, there was a "crash" sound, and his whole body was completely damaged from head to toe.
It was broken into pieces, and only one still intact frozen head rolled past the feet of the soldiers, hit the wall and stopped spinning in a circle - two eyes staring straight at the sky.
Looking at the pile of still burning bodies and the small pieces of ice scattered under their feet, a group of Demon Alliance soldiers were stunned. It wasn't until one of them fell down after being hit by an arrow that they remembered that they were still fighting.
There was no time to think about what was going on. These soldiers once again fought with the counterattack troops of the Divine Alliance.
This mysterious force is Cohen's hunting team, specially prepared to deal with the special forces of the Demon Alliance.
Cohen learned a lesson from his last sniper attack on Viscount Gironde's vanguard. The powerful lethality of the three hundred scorpion warriors shocked him. After many discussions with his subordinates, this hunting and killing team was established.
Each team has five to ten people, including the most outstanding elf magicians, archers who can kill with one hit, and guards officers with the best hand-to-hand combat skills... When dealing with the enemy's special units,
These people learned from each other's strengths and complemented each other's weaknesses, relying on the familiar terrain to fight with the larger numbers and the smaller numbers. In this way, they had a large number of special units of the Demonic Alliance in their hands.
With the support of the hunting team, the advantage of the Demonic Alliance was temporarily weakened, and the two sides were evenly matched, and a cruel tug-of-war began again on the battlefield. The Divine Alliance occupied the favorable location and people, but the follow-up troops of the Demonic Alliance continued to
The ground was covered with bloodstains, and every wall on the front line was constantly changing hands. The soldiers were fighting each other for land inch by inch.
The news that the special unit was suppressed by the enemy was sent back to the Demon Alliance Command Post. The Lieutenant General did not show any more concern about this, although he was also surprised in his heart.
"The tactics remain unchanged and we will continue to deploy special forces as planned!" He said to the staff officer beside him. "Although the casualties of the troops are higher now, it is worth it! We already have a frontier, as long as we capture enough frontiers
, we can effectively support the front line! Tell the commanders at the front not to make rapid advances, but to fight steadily!"
"yes!"
"Tell the troops behind to prepare to take over the attack!"
"yes!"
A new batch of demonic coalition troops stepped forward to replace the troops that suffered heavy casualties. The battle on the position continued, but the divine coalition forces had no soldiers to replace and could only struggle to support themselves. Gradually, the position was occupied by demonic coalition forces.
The coalition forces gradually encroached.
This decisive battle started after dawn. By lunch, the demon coalition had advanced about a quarter of the position. The positions occupied by both sides were intertwined. Many troops on both sides were scattered. Several groups of
The soldiers huddled in the corner of the enemy's position, waiting for their large troops to come back again...
"Report to the commander!" Another group of scouts returned to the Demon Alliance Command Post, "The battle on the front line is fierce, the enemy relies on the terrain to disperse our troops, and the special forces encounter strong enemies..."
"Report sir! The enemy has begun to counterattack! They are fierce and move quickly... The enemy's counterattack force has a strange structure. Only less than half of the soldiers in a small group have complete armor, and the rest only wear cloth and leather armor..."
"It seems that the Phantom Legion is really short of soldiers, and they even temporarily recruited people from the refugees to replace them..." The lieutenant general said "hmm", "In this way, our bows and arrows can come in handy!"
"Tell the 26th Legion that it's time for them to take the field." The Lieutenant General ordered, "I will never tolerate...the Phantom Legion's troops can still move freely!"
"yes!"
Half an hour later, the Demon Alliance finally cleared enough space in the rear, and troops from the 26th Light Cavalry Regiment appeared. Ten thousand light cavalrymen from four regiments abandoned their horses and ran up on foot, holding weapons in their hands.
The heavy infantry with large shields lined up behind the barrier. They tucked away their war bows and carried large bundles of arrows on their backs.
Bows and arrows have always been the best weapon of the light cavalry. These soldiers become qualified archers after dismounting. Although the horse bows used by the cavalry are not as far as the long battle bows, the current battle situation does not require that far at all.
The range is enough to hit the enemy's head.
Following the commander's order, the demonic coalition forces fired thousands of arrows, and the arrows that covered the sky and the sun flew towards the position.
According to the plan, the Divine Alliance Army was prepared for the enemy's bow and arrow attacks. Each position had a place to hide in the fighting position, but those soldiers who had to move were in dire straits. Although Cohen prepared for his soldiers
The best armor on the entire continent, but no matter how good the armor is, there are still exposed parts. Even if the chance of being shot at these parts is very small, with such a density of bows and arrows, the soldiers will have a great chance of being unlucky.
increased.
In addition, there were a large number of tribal soldiers without armor on the position, as well as ordinary refugees carrying the wounded back.
After ten volleys from the Demonic Alliance, there was a brief moment of silence inside and outside the position, except for the front line where the battle was ongoing.
On the Demon Alliance side, the archers were waiting for orders, and their commander thought about it for a moment. He was thinking about whether to shoot farther or closer, because there were countless earth walls blocking him, and he didn't know.
The effect of this attack.
He didn't know it, but his enemy army knew it all too well. Just within the strike range of the bow and arrow, the divine coalition forces had already suffered the most painful casualties since the war began.
More than 300 refugee teams carrying the wounded fell into a pool of blood together with the wounded they carried, and no one survived.
More than 1,700 tribal soldiers without armor protection were preparing to enter the position, and all of them were killed.
More than 300 soldiers who were "running around" on the battlefield won the lottery, and half of them could no longer fight.
The seventeen elf magicians had no time to evade, and were all shot into pieces by arrows.
More than fifty captain-level officers were injured, most of them seriously.
More than a dozen commanders above the battalion level were injured.
One regimental officer was killed.
On the ground, up and down the earthen walls, and even around the corners, the feathered arrows fired by the demon alliance were evenly distributed in every inch of space. From a distance, those black arrow shafts with white arrow feathers looked like
Dense weeds on wasteland.
Without time to think, the soldiers rushed out and risked their lives to snatch back those who were still alive.
"Set up a lookout, discover it in time, and pay attention to protection!" Cohen's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "There are still arrows! Grab them quickly!"
The demon alliance continued to fire, and this time the attack distance of the bows and arrows was extended back a little.
All the Divine Alliance soldiers within the attack range hid. First they heard a dull "buzzing" sound, and then the sound of arrow clusters hammering into the earthen walls from all directions, "Puff puff puff puff..."
"This sound struck their nerves one after another, never ending.
Because the enemy's bows and arrows had completely blocked the front and rear of the position, the soldiers of the logistics regiment had to risk their lives to erect a roof on the main passage. Although they had paid great attention to protecting themselves, soldiers continued to be shot and fell by stray arrows.
Every time a section of roof was erected, soldiers paid their lives for it.
At the Ninth Army command post at this time, Cohen was only responsible for commanding the front line and coordination and adjustment between various units, and left all other matters to the staff department. After experiencing so many big scenes, the functions of the staff department have been completely eliminated.
Bring it into play: replenishment of soldiers, changes in upper and lower passages, replacement of battle-damaged officers...
"Carlos!"
"arrive!"
"Are the counterattack troops ready?" Cohen asked, "Are you familiar with the counterattack steps?"
"Everything is ready!" Carlos replied, "Several captains have been studying it, and I believe they have fully understood the commander's intention!"
"The counterattack troops enter the starting position and hide!" Cohen said, "Order the ground troops on the position to slowly retreat and let the enemy in selectively. The positions must be staggered so that the enemy can no longer fire arrows!"
"yes!"
Gradually, the divine coalition forces on the position began to retreat, and the demon coalition forces occupied more and more positions. By the time the three-mile-long position was occupied to two miles, most of the troops of the 27th and 28th legions had already
Entering the position, here they encountered several regiments from the Third Regiment of the Ninth Legion - the troops with the toughest fighting will in the Phantom Legion. This was the strongest resistance since the war began!
The individual combat effectiveness advantage of the demon alliance was offset by the terrain of the god alliance, and the small coordination between the soldiers of the god alliance was better than theirs. The battle gradually fell into a stalemate. Groups of demon alliance troops attacked, and again and again
After being defeated, the large number of wounded who retreated had to be temporarily treated under the city wall near the command post, and then transported to the rear by horse-drawn carriages. Seeing so many wounded people and seeing the horse-drawn carriages transporting the wounded traveling end to end, it was magical.
All the officers in the coalition command post were secretly surprised!
The combat effectiveness of the Phantom Legion is really astonishing. This is not a legion composed of slaves. It is clearly the elite of the elites in the Divine Alliance Army! If they are really a slave army... then the talent of this legion commander
It's incredible that he turned these humble and weak slaves and war consumables into heroic and fighting lions!
With the battle going so far, from morning to noon, if it had been the other main battle legions of the Divine Alliance, they would have been defeated long ago. You know, these three main battle legions of our own are all troops with brilliant records.
Although the enemy army occupies a favorable geographical position, this army has not had supplies for more than ten days, and it has been able to resist for so long without supplies... This tenacious style, high fighting spirit, superb command, and good training
One has to admire him from the bottom of his heart.
But I admire you, but the battle still has to be fought.
"Report, sir! Our central troops have advanced to one mile from the enemy's rear city wall!"
"Where are the troops on both sides?"
"Due to the trap, our troops on both sides moved slowly and were delayed for a mile!"
"Delayed?" the lieutenant general pondered for a moment.
"Sir, should we first break through in the middle to separate the enemy forces, and then..." the staff officer on the side said.
"No! It can't be like this. We can't leave room for the enemy to move, so that they will surround the troops in the center." The lieutenant general said decisively, "Order the troops in the center to hold steady and wait for the troops on both sides to speed up and catch up!"
Sufficient troops must be stationed in each occupied area. Once we advance across the board to the city wall behind the enemy, this battle should be over."
"yes!"
However, this order was given a little late.
At this time, the battle on the battlefield was extremely fierce. The demon coalition forces on both sides were desperately trying to push forward, but at this time, the commander of the accompanying team received intelligence that the central breakthrough force was surrounded. The central front line broke out.
One mile forward, that is the most important area of the entire battle. It would be terrible if the divine coalition forces were to encircle and annihilate it... Without enough time to notify the rear command post, the demon coalition troops on both sides turned around at the same time and forced their way towards the central front.
Kill it.
As for Cohen, this is what he was waiting for.
"Start the counterattack!" Cohen shouted from the city wall, "Jiadenan beats the drum! Boost the morale of our army!"
"Roar!" Jiadenan let out a strange cry, and the lead drum sounded. I really pitied this old man. In order to cooperate with Cohen's battle, he destroyed the traditions of his ancestors countless times.
With the sound of drums, the counterattack plan carefully prepared by the Divine Alliance Army began to be implemented.
The first person to appear was the magician. The enemy's magician ran out of magic power last night, but Cohen's magician had been recharging his energy.
A huge magic circle is painted behind the city wall, and a hundred elf magicians stand on the magic circle.
In the chorus of magic chants, the sky above Tucheng changed. Large dark clouds appeared in the originally sunny sky. These dark clouds were entangled with each other. The howling wind blew sand and rocks on the ground. The entire
There was confusion inside and outside Tucheng, and the sky was so dark that it seemed as if it was pressing down on the ground.
"This magic..." In the demon alliance command post, the lieutenant general looked at the military flag swaying in the wind above his head and was a little confused, "How could it be the rainstorm spell?"
He was right, this was indeed the Heavy Rain spell. His surprise was normal, because the Heavy Rain spell was not a damaging magic, and it was of no use in war. The biggest effect was to drench the soldiers on both sides until they were soaked in water...
Will this help the battle situation?
Of course, Cohen also understands this. The reason why he wanted to create this large-scale rainstorm spell was just to use the dark environment before the rainstorm to counterattack. And those one hundred great elves, they have the ability to use the darkness before the rainstorm to counterattack.
Lasts a long time.
For the first time, a trumpet sounded on the city wall of the Divine Alliance Army.
"Crack!" With a sound, a bright bolt of lightning struck in front of the Demon Alliance Command Post, which looked quite eye-catching in the dim sky.
"kill……"
"kill……"
"Did you hear any noise?" The lieutenant general tilted his head in confusion and asked the staff officer beside him, "It's a very dull sound."
The staff officer shook his head.
"Crack!" Another bolt of lightning struck in front of the command post!
"Not good!" The lieutenant general suddenly realized and shouted, "This is the enemy's main counterattack!" (To be continued)
