Heart of Empire Chapter 383: Shoot! Push in!
The bodies of the six War Warlocks, just like six broken dolls discarded by children, were casually thrown from the tower. [Full text reading]
However, the offensive of the griffins did not end there.
When they killed the six warlocks, their target immediately turned to the other two warlocks on the high platform.
The warlocks are undoubtedly preparing some spells to target his Griffin Cavalry, and some of them cast faster, maybe the spells are about to be released.
However, at this moment, the big killer weapon, the Storm Hammer, which the Griffon Cavalry had held for a long time and had never used, was decisively thrown out by them!
Isn't such a trump card kept in hand for such a long time just to change the situation of the battle at such a critical moment?
The speed at which the hammer of the storm is thrown is far faster than the speed at which the spell is released. Those warlocks had no way to change the spells they released. A dozen or so people threw two fireballs. And at the same time, more than a dozen storm hammers, with thunderous tails, roared towards the warlocks on the high platform!
Those warlocks don't have supernatural abilities, they can come up with any countermeasures in the blink of an eye when the hammer of the storm hits. After being baptized by a wave of storm hammer, there was only one warlock standing on the high platform who could still maintain the ability to cast spells. And the biggest reason why this guy was able to survive was that he was lucky enough to carry some motivating magic props with defensive effects on his body, so he escaped with his life.
The griffins have accomplished the mission perfectly!
Although, the griffins also paid a certain price for this. The last two fireballs grabbed by the warlocks hit a griffin cavalry, knocking him from mid-air to the ground, and was killed by a large number of soldiers. It was surrounded and could no longer fly. In addition, there was a griffin, which was shot by a bow and arrow shot from the ground. With the defense of Griffin, they are not particularly afraid of arrows. But that arrow, which might have been shot by a certain archer in the army, hit the Griffin's eye and pierced through the head.
However, although there were losses, at the cost of the two griffins, almost all the magic power of the enemy on the high platform was wiped out. Dane felt that such a result must be worth it.
The griffins who climbed up again in the sky will no longer be threatened by the archers below, and the enemy's caster power is almost wiped out by their surprise attack just now. Resuming the posture of the overlord of the sky, he slaughtered those Batriders wantonly in midair.
Those big bats were no match for the lions in the sky. Although they fought bravely, they were still being killed constantly.
While the battle in mid-air was raging, the ground armies of the two sides finally joined hands.
The crossbows and arrows of the crossbowmen and rangers under Dane's command rained into the enemy's formation. In the enemy's camp opposite them, the Northern Army had more than twice as many archers as Dane's, but they were completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation.
The arrows of the elf rangers are too accurate. When the opponent can only choose one shooting direction and get the hit rate according to the probability, the rangers can still shoot at long distances. With a 20% hit rate, every five arrows hit an enemy. This probability, plus the number of 600 longbowmen in the two ranger brigades, represented a terrifying reality. This almost meant that if a round of arrows rained down, the archers on the opposite side would have to die hundreds of people just in the hands of the rangers.
In addition, there are also two large groups of crossbowmen, those crossbow bolts that rely on the scroll wheel and the shooting speed will become extremely fast to suppress, although the accuracy is not comparable to that of the ranger, even better than the ordinary The archers were even weaker, but the ten times faster shooting speed made up for everything.
Just the rain of arrows like locusts, the long-range shooting troops of the Northern Army have faintly shown signs of being unable to hold on. When the two sides were shooting at each other, the ratio of casualties was exchanged. Dane looked at it from a distance, and if he roughly estimated it with the naked eye, he got fifteen to one. If he really shot down like this slowly, Dane would be able to shoot down 3,000 people on the opposite side only at the cost of the casualties of less than 200 archers!
It's just that the war won't just go on like this, and the enemy can't really act like a target, staying here and letting Dane's troops shoot. In fact, the archers under Dane's command played the greatest role in this period and the early stage of the war, which was to be able to cover the charge of one's own troops, and by the way, make the enemy's charge not so smooth.
This is already a great advantage.
The vanguard on Dane's side is the white wolf guard who is most capable of fighting tough battles. As for the Northern Army, the heavy infantry regiment was also at the forefront.
Originally, both sides formed a very tight phalanx formation, pressing forward. But when it came time to fight, the white wolf guards of Dane's first wing were almost able to maintain the most complete posture, and the formation was not messed up in the slightest. As for the oncoming heavy infantry, they were not only beaten too embarrassingly by the arrows, but in any case, after being shot over a lot of people, the formation would inevitably become less orderly, and many soldiers appeared. the gap.
There were not many soldiers who were shot dead or wounded~IndoMTL.com~ But the scattered formation made the heavy infantry from the Lost City and Cinderella stand in front of the White Wolf Guards Suffered a great loss in the confrontation.
The fight between the heavy infantry and the heavy infantry almost represented that the mainstay forces of the two armies were competing with each other. Of course, the number of enemies is much larger, and the White Wolf Guardians are under a lot of pressure, but relying on the advantages brought by the previous successful long-range offensive, the White Wolf Guardians successfully fought against as many as twice as many enemies. After the infantry regiments clashed, they gained the advantage on the frontal battlefield.
The heavy shield and the weapon are colliding fiercely! The fight between armor and armor is heavy and brutal.
The White Wolf Guards held their shields and warhammers in a strict formation and pressed forward step by step. However, due to the loose formation at the beginning, the opponent's heavy infantry regiment failed to form a tit-for-tat situation. Being pressed back step by step.
Hackett, who is sitting behind the army, has an extremely serious expression at this moment.
I was very depressed yesterday, I really didn't write anything.
Why is life so annoying?
