Chapter 373 The might of the snow giant (already changed)
Frederick is an important general of the Xuefeng tribe. Not only is he smarter than ordinary snow giants, he is also a sky-level powerhouse according to the strength of the Elf Empire. In the battle of the Snow Giant Royal Court against the White Dragon,
Frederick has torn apart more than one white dragon with his hands.
Among the three generals of the Snow Wind Tribe, he is also one of the more prestigious ones. The senior leaders of the Snow Wind Tribe are basically related to each other. The son of the clan leader who was seriously injured by Xiaoman is also Frederick's nephew in terms of relationship.
So when this incident happened, Frederick also took advantage of this reason to be particularly concerned. Not only did he mobilize his direct relatives, but he also recruited many vassals, as if he must seek justice for his nephew.
Of course, only Fredrick himself knows how much weight that good-for-nothing nephew actually has here.
However, no matter what Frederick's purpose was, it did not affect his command ability. Not only the direct descendants of the Xuefeng tribe, but also the snow giant warriors of several affiliated tribes also formed a relatively decent team under the command of Frederick.
Slowly and at an unhurried pace, it pressed towards the human side.
"boom!"
The Titan was still the first to attack. After a thunderous roar, a Snow Giant warrior at the forefront fell to the ground without any room to struggle. Frederick, who was still observing from a distance, felt slightly in his heart.
Jump.
He couldn't see the trajectory of the Titan's lightning attack at all. With his strength, he couldn't think of any attack that was so fast that he couldn't see it. Even if he couldn't resist it, he wouldn't be able to see the trajectory clearly.
.
This kind of completely unavoidable attack, if the target is him, he can only bear it forcefully. Looking at the power, it will probably be uncomfortable if it falls on him. Although ordinary snow giant warriors are not as strong as him, the advantage of the snow giant race is here
, the vitality is so tenacious that it can still struggle for a long time after being pierced by mammoth tusks. However, it fell to the ground immediately after being hit by this unknown attack, which shows that the power is not small.
However, Frederick was not overly worried. Just like in the intelligence, it would take a long time for the opponent to launch a similar attack. Looking at the opponent's frequency, he would not be able to attack three times when the soldiers on his side surged up.
"Divine Mighty Crossbow!"
"Prepare!"
Not long after Titan launched the attack, the Flying Bear Army's Divine Power Crossbow was not idle either. The Divine Power Crossbow, which had already been set up in position, began to be loaded quickly under the command of the officer. The five-meter-long giant arrow was lifted by the combined efforts of several soldiers.
Was pushed up.
"put!"
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
When the Divine Power Crossbow was launched, it made a muffled sound unique to a giant crossbow, and a dozen giant arrows flew towards the snow giant in the distance.
"Puff! Puff!..."
"ah!"
Because the Snow Giants marched in formations, and the Snow Giants' targets were large enough, the hit rate of the dozen giant arrows was quite high. Nearly ten of them directly hit the Snow Giant warriors in the front row, and the power of the Divine Power Crossbow was also very high.
Quite gratifyingly, the crudely made leather shield in the hands of the Snow Giant Warrior could not withstand the impact of such heavy equipment at all. It easily broke through the leather shield in the hands of the Snow Giant Warrior, and then penetrated the Snow Giant Warrior behind the leather shield without any hindrance.
, even with the snow giant’s defensive capabilities, it is completely unable to withstand the power of this giant arrow.
There were even unlucky snow giants who were strung together on the same giant arrow, resulting in a situation where one penetrated two.
"good!"
This is the first time that the Flying Bear Army has used the Shenwei Crossbow to attack such a large target. Ogres in the wilderness cannot test the true power of such a heavy weapon as the Shenwei Crossbow.
In Quill's opinion, this effect is surprisingly good. It is indeed a weapon created by the ordnance factory that integrates all the outstanding craftsmen in the North, regardless of cost.
"Reload!"
The soldiers responsible for operating the Shenwei Crossbow had no time to appreciate their results and quickly began the complicated loading work after one round of firing.
"boom!"
When the Snow Giant advanced to a distance of more than 400 meters, the Titan Giant fired a second bolt of lightning, which also made Frederick unable to see the slightest trace. Another Snow Giant warrior fell down without even leaving any blood on his body.
On the ground.
And this time, not only did the Titan giant send out lightning, but the Ice Giant also fired an ice spear. The ice giant's attack range was not as good as the Titan giant, but the power of the ice spear was not much inferior.
A snow giant warrior in the queue fell to the ground and lost the ability to fight. However, in Frederick's eyes, his blow still had a slight trajectory, and at least he could be prepared to resist it in advance.
"Order the soldiers to speed up. There is no need to conserve energy and move forward at full speed. Just launch a charge!"
After seeing the long-range methods of the humans on the opposite side, Frederick quickly changed his mind. In the past, the tactic of forming a queue and walking quickly to approach the target was a strategy used to intimidate the same race on the snowy field. Everyone was of the same size, and they were not as strong as each other.
Any long-range means should naturally be fought like this. Now facing humans, conserving physical strength is not a priority. As long as we rush into the human front first, there is actually not much difference between fighting with seven or ten points of force and that group of little beans. It is so slow.
If you advance quickly, it will be easily consumed by the opponent's long-range means.
"preparation!"
"put!"
After the snow giant accelerated, the Shenwei Crossbow finally completed loading again. More than ten giant arrows once again caused about ten snow giant casualties, but the role of the Shenwei Crossbow could only end here. Within this distance, there were already
There is no time to reload the Divine Crossbow a third time.
"Get ready for battle!"
"Kill, kill!"
According to Elena's arrangement, several Snow Giants from the Ice Flame Division, like the Titans, were interspersed in the Flying Bear Army's front line. Dozens of fanatics were also evenly distributed, with the purpose of stabilizing the front line and maintaining morale as much as possible.
, several champion knights were not arranged to charge on the front line this time. No matter how strong they were, charging against thousands of snow giants would be a recipe for death.
The champion knight was arranged by Elena to wait for the opportunity on the flank to avoid a head-on collision. Of course, Elena herself had to be in the middle of the army. She, Zhu Shuai, could not act timidly under any circumstances.
A large number of soldiers of the Flying Bear Army gathered together with their special horses holding spears or holding trip ropes. Many of their palms were sweating nervously, and veterans with high morale were fighting in this kind of formation.
They were also a little nervous in front of them. Fortunately, they were old troops and had relatively strong ideas. No one had the idea of escape when faced with the snow giant coming like a wall.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
At a distance of more than 200 meters, five phantom shooters and more than a dozen senior monks also launched attacks. The blue missiles and white cold arrows tried their best to attack the snow giant running at the front, knocking down two more snow giants.
Giant warrior.
However, at this distance, it is no longer just the human side's long-range attacks that show off their power, the snow giants also retaliate.
"stone!"
Snow giants don't have any professional long-range attack methods, not even throwing spears. Tools are hard to find in the snowy fields. Being able to hand a carefully crafted stone spear already makes the Xuefeng tribe very wealthy.
The snow giant's long-range attack is very primitive, and it just throws some stones as big as the head. This pitiful attack method, which is primitive in the eyes of humans, becomes particularly terrifying after being expanded several times in size.
The snow giant with astonishing arm strength easily threw these rocks as big as heads over two hundred meters and smashed them into the Flying Bear Army's formation.
"boom!"
"Wow!"
"ah!"
The scene of hundreds of snow giants throwing stones was no less than hundreds of catapults firing stones towards the human side. Stones the size of heads hit the Flying Bear Army like raindrops, and the divine crossbows placed later did the same.
Within the attack range of these rocks, the Divine Power Crossbow, which was being cared for by the Snow Giant, was smashed to pieces in the third round of loading. More than half of it was directly smashed into pieces. The soldiers operating the Divine Power Crossbow also hugged
The head fled away, and no one could continue to reload with such an attack.
Other soldiers didn't fare well either. Ordinary shields couldn't block the attack of such stones. Once they were hit, half of their bodies were numb. Some of the more unlucky ones were hit on the head, and even the helmets on their heads were damaged.
They were smashed together and deformed, and the red and white stuff immediately flowed out along the helmet, leaving no room for struggle.
"Steady, steady!"
"Don't mess up!"
"Don't mess up!"
Under the snow giant's wave of long-range attacks, the system army was okay. Although there were not many system troops under Elena's command, most of them were mid-level or above units such as fanatics and senior monks. They would not be harmed by the stones thrown by the snow giant.
There are too many casualties, and the system's troops are mentally strong and will not be shaken by the casualties. However, this kind of rain of rocks in the sky is a very big test for the Flying Bear Army.
Some people in the Flying Bear Army, always known for their tenacious fighting will, were panicking now. After all, the images caused by the rocks were too terrifying, and the feeling of standing there waiting for death was not pleasant.
"Steady! Steady!"
Fortunately, Elena had made arrangements for this. The Flying Bear Army's front line was not thin, because they arrived at the battlefield early. In addition to placing the horses to resist, they also arranged for the kobolds to dig a lot of tunnels. The team was drawn in depth for a long time.
Troops with higher ranks can also hide in tunnels to take shelter.
As for the people in the front row, they didn't have this chance, because after throwing two rounds of stones, the Snow Giant warriors also rushed forward...
"boom!"
The snow giants who rushed into the formation taught the Flying Bear Army a good lesson on what size advantage is and what individual strength means.
The special Juma prepared at the beginning did not have much effect. Two snow giants could knock the Juma aside with all their strength, and trying to restrain the Snow Giant with trip ropes was even more of a joke. The seven or eight Flying Bear Army's
The strength of a soldier is not comparable to that of a snow giant. As long as he does not lose his balance, the snow giant can easily get rid of the restrictions of the trip rope by raising its legs, and can also throw away several soldiers.
The swarming of spearmen had a little effect, and the sharp spears caused some damage to the snow giant, causing the snow giant to feel a stinging sensation.
However, this kind of damage is hardly fatal. Instead, after angering the snow giant, it was swept away by the stone spear in its hand.
"It's too natural!"
The moment they collided with the Snow Giants, the Flying Bear Army suffered huge casualties. The initial preparations were simply not enough. Dealing with dozens of Snow Giants was completely different from dealing with thousands of Snow Giants in a row.
Quill, who was behind the battle line, gritted his teeth in distress as he watched the casualties of his troops surge.
"Lance, spear! Up!"
"Pour in the kerosene and burn it with kerosene!"
However, the combat power of the Flying Bear Army is different after all. Facing the overwhelming advantage of the Snow Giant, most of the army may find it difficult to generate fighting spirit at this time. However, although the Flying Bear Army is in a difficult situation, it still does not collapse. Instead, it
With the support of grassroots officers, the battle continued. Not only did they form a gun formation to besiege, they also poured some kerosene prepared on the snow giant's feet and set it on fire.
The effect of kerosene was somewhat better than that of a spear. The snow giant, which didn't like the heat, was thrown on and ignited by kerosene and rolled on the ground in pain. For a while, it lost its ability to fight.
In fact, in terms of numbers, the human side still has the advantage. Not counting Elena's system army, the Flying Bear Army alone is fifty thousand, more than forty times that of the Snow Giant. If every last soldier is used,
If consumed with the Snow Giant, it will still cause a lot of trouble to the Snow Giant. After all, theoretically speaking, any creature of flesh and blood will be killed by sheer numbers.
Snow giants are only three or four times taller than humans. Swarms of ants can kill creatures hundreds of times larger than them. Of course, the calculation cannot be made like this. Fighting to the last soldier is only an ideal state.
Facing an enemy like the Snow Giant, even the Flying Bear Army can only withstand 30% to 40% casualties at most before completely collapsing. If it were replaced by other regular armies in the kingdom, it may not be able to withstand even 10% and can persist until the two sides are in contact.
It's probably not bad until it just crashes.
The sacrifice of the Flying Bear Army not only limitedly killed some Snow Giants, but also had other effects. At least with their sacrifice, they won a lot of space for the Titans, the Ice Giants, the Barbarian Bones and other Snow Giants.
Only the persistence of the Flying Bear Army prevented them from immediately falling into a state of being surrounded and overwhelmed. Although they had to fight against several, they were still able to persevere.
The fanatics are also attacking hard. These fanatics at the peak of the knight level can also cause considerable damage to the snow giant. For example, they can take advantage of the gap between the snow giant and the Flying Bear Army soldiers to jump up and use the heavy weight in their hands.
The staff hit the snow giant's knee. With one blow, most of the snow giants would immediately limp and lose most of their combat power.
"Lady Elena! The snow giant has rushed into the second line of defense."
Although the Flying Bear Army resisted resolutely, the Snow Giants' combat advantage was still too great, and soon the first line of defense was breached by the Snow Giants.
"sulfuric acid!"
"Quil, you take charge next!"
"Ah! Lady Elena!"
Without waiting for Quil to persuade, Elena had already rushed forward with several fanatics around her. After the first line of defense was breached, the army began to show signs of instability. She had to cheer up the army.
