The fire that stood in front of the dark elf army was finally extinguished, and the logistical preparations for the dark elf were almost completed. With the help of the earth-based military division, the dark elf tamped and strengthened the channel that had been paved by the dark elf. Those heavy stone dump trucks entered the launch position and transported a large number of tons of boulders up to be consumed by these big guys in combat.
The commander of the front line was General Daheni. She was originally a legion commander on the border of the Dark Elves. The battle sequence belonged to the frontier guards. However, after Ryan defeated Fetahab, she was by chance. It has been reused, and the army under its command has advanced all the way to the Three Pinnacles Fortress and has established outstanding military exploits. It has also been highly praised for the outstanding performance of the La Nina Legion under its jurisdiction. Now it has become the commander of more than a dozen legions. The senior commander can be said to have reached the sky in one step.
Looking at the army of dark elves that was ready ahead, General Dahni cast his gaze on the fortress in the distance. The fortress of the Rakshasa demon was built on the mountain, and the gate at the bottom was filled with sand and stone. Full, it’s impossible to break in from there, so the dark elf’s attack focuses on the walls on the surface of the fortress, because the Rakshasa demon wants to guard here, there will definitely be channels for mobilizing troops to enter and exit. Just conquer a few walls. Can go retrograde along those passages into the fortress.
However, even the bottom wall is more than 50 meters above the ground, and the wall has been processed so smoothly that it is almost impossible to climb with bare hands, and can only use equipment such as siege ladders. However, it takes no less time and energy to push such a big guy with extremely slow speed to the city wall than those heavy stone dumpers. In this distance, the fixed stone dumpers on the Rakshasa demon fortress are the largest. Obstacles, so the first step for General Daheni is to clear them first.
The drappers on the Rakshasa demon fortress have a range of only four or five kilometers because of their scale. The heavy drowsers of the dark elves can safely throw boulders out of their range. As for the ballistas. The threat is not very big, after all, they are installed here mainly to deal with threats from the sky, such as the air strike force riding a two-legged dragon or Chimera.
Such a troop dark elves also brought a legion, but such expensive Chimera flying troop will basically not be used in cruel wars of attrition. Their biggest advantage is that they can search for targets from a commanding position and what they are after flying. It can reach a speed far surpassing the ground cavalry unit, and it is definitely one of the best choices to implement strategic goals, such as attacking the opponent's headquarters, paralyzing the battlefield command and so on.
The huge boulder was thrown into the air by the dark elf’s heavy boulder. Its target was a fixed boulder in the distant fortress. The boulder rolled several times in the air and smashed into the air. The surface of the Pinnacle Fortress knocked out a big gap between the location and the nearby city wall, but it did not hit the target. More huge stones were thrown into the air, and the dark elf's heavy stone dumpers were fully fired, focusing on all the Rakshasa monster dumpers that could be seen in the field of vision.
Under this continuous attack, the walls of the Rakshasa demon became a mess. There were damages from boulders everywhere, and many dump trucks were destroyed, but the casualties were not very large. Because the Rakshasa demon did not put a large amount of troops on the wall at the beginning, their fortresses have quite a lot of internal passages, and they can mobilize their troops to any place where they are needed in a very short time. There is no need to put the soldiers too early. To bear the blow of the dark elf in the bright place.
The private soldiers of the Dark Elf family started to act again. In order to push the stone dumper to the front of the Rakshasa demon fortress, the road problem must be solved first. The interlaced gullies on the outer plains have spread to the vicinity of the fortress. The dark elves only paved the road to the location where the fire started, and further forward is the range of the Rakshasa demon's stone dumper. Carrying out this project too early will definitely be hit by the Rakshasa demon. You must wait until It can only be carried out after the own drapery has been suppressed.
With previous experience, the actions of these family private soldiers have become more proficient and smooth, so the speed of paving the road has been much faster than before. In order to block the attack of the Rakshasa demon, multiple dark elf phalanxes stood in battle, forming a strong shield wall to resist the arrow attack. When the paving work entered the range of the Rakshasa demon drappers, the drappers that had not been destroyed on the fortress began to fight back. The stones they threw were a great threat to the concentrated infantry phalanx. When a stone of hundreds of kilograms hits the ground, it will not immediately sink into the mud, but will be bounced by the ground and continue to roll forward for a certain distance, leaving countless broken limbs and red blood wherever it goes.
In order to minimize our own casualties, whenever the Rakshasa demon’s stone dumper is launched, the dark elf’s heavy stone dumper will lock the target and repeatedly bombard it until the target is completely destroyed. The huge boulders launched by the heavy stone dump truck are of the kind weighing several tons. Even if they are not directly hit on the stone dump truck, the impact force generated by the huge stone hitting the mountain wall or city wall can completely affect the nearby several tons. The Raksha monster warrior within ten meters fell to the ground, and it can also effectively destroy the launch of the Raksha monster boulder.
Dark elves’ heavy stone dump trucks have caused quite effective destructive effects, but they are too few. They are only 30. They face the dense Rakshasa demon city wall and the walls on the entire mountain. The stone dumper is nothing short of a drop in the bucket, and even if one of the Rakshasa demon's dumper is destroyed, they can mobilize manpower to launch a new one from the cave passage and other places. Because of the condescending reason, the Rakshasa demon’s The rappeller does not need to be too far in range to cause an effective attack. The light weight of the raptor is very light, and coupled with the relatively flat and smooth ground on the city wall, it only takes more than ten minutes to regain combat capability.
This is the advantage of building a fortress. The attacker will always be at a disadvantage and pay more casualties. Regarding this, the dark elves are psychologically prepared before the attack, so despite the heavy casualties, General Daheni Still unmoved, he personally stood on the front line to supervise the battle, watching the soldiers in front slowly forge a path to the fortress with their lives and blood.
When the private soldiers of the Dark Elf family paved the road to a distance of less than one kilometer from the fortress, they ushered in a second heavier casualty, because this distance has entered the range of the Rakshasa demon crossbow shooter. Under the intensive rain of arrows to obscure the sky, unless it is a huge shield that composes the shield wall, flaws and gaps will always be exposed. As long as one arrow penetrates into it, one of them will be shot and killed. For the dark elves on the shield wall, there will be a small gap in the front shield wall. When the dark elves are too late to fill this gap, more arrows will enter from here and shoot more targets.
The screams have never stopped since the beginning. Too many dark elves have died in the arrow rain of the Rakshasa demon, and more dark elves will not hesitate to step on the bodies of their companions and continue forward. At such a close distance, it’s difficult for the Rakshasa demon’s boulder to attack the dark elves. Therefore, in order to resist the dense arrow rain that almost formed the curtain wall, the dark elves were all packed together as much as possible to form the most tightly formed one. The shield wall protects the companion from moving forward.
Such a dense number of people immediately attracted the eighth-level spells of the Rakshasa magicians, and the loss speed of the dark elves increased again. However, with the advancement of the dark elves, the crossbow shooters of the dark elves and the magicians faced the same The target of the Rakshasa monster that had entered its range began to fight back. Although it would be more disadvantaged from the bottom to the top, the dark elves invested several times as much force as the Rakshasa monster, which more or less offset the terrain advantage of the Rakshasa monster.
As the road ahead was about to be paved, General Daheni had already given the order to launch the siege ladder. This kind of siege ladder is actually a mobile platform. Its front is erected with a hard baffle, which can shield the fighters on the platform from the arrow attack from the front. If it can be successfully pushed to the edge of the enemy wall , The baffle can be pushed down to become a pedal connecting the siege ladder and the city wall. The dark elf warrior below can quickly walk along the ladder behind the equipment to the upper platform, and then rush to the opposite side through this pedal in parallel. Battle of the city walls.
The manufacturing principle of such a siege ladder is quite simple, but it is a big project to build a 50-meter high platform. At least there must be a place for hundreds of people to stand. It is naturally quite amazing to calculate the size of the entire siege ladder. If you want to push such a huge siege ladder to travel from the ground that is not flat, you need more than that. The manpower and the speed of action are absolutely horrible. This is simply the best target for the opponent's stone dumper, so it can only rely on quantity and luck to make up for this defect.
A siege ladder like this was pushed by thousands of dark elves together and slowly moved towards the distant fortress. There are more siege ladders on the front, back, left and right of it, and they are like this step by step towards the wall. Advancing, in order to resist the attack of the Rakshasa monster stone dumper, a number of advanced red robe experts who specialize in protection magic are arranged above each stone dumper. The defensive spells they release together can resist those falling from the sky. Of course, as long as the boulder can last, it can only be resigned to fate.
With the life and blood forged by the dark elf warriors in front of the road, the speed of these siege ladders is relatively slow, but they are moving forward steadily, during which almost every siege ladder has endured. The attack of the Rakshasa monster at this time depends on personal luck and the strength of the red-robed mages. If you take fewer blows, the magician’s defensive spells will be more effective, and you will be able to survive this harsh environment. Support for a while.
