Chapter 1042 (2/2)
However, such tactics generally have two preconditions - first, they must have absolute flank protection;
There is no doubt that there are cliffs on both sides of the hillside and trenches dug by the defenders; There is no need to worry about the flank until the rotten demons fill the trenches full of barbs or fill the cliffs.
Secondly, it is an array for defense rather than attack, which can provide treatment and weapons replacement for replaced soldiers.
This is no problem. The highlands of the two hillsides are the defensive positions of blood skeleton valley. The Garrison has operated for several days. What can be done has been prepared, and even the route of gradual retreat has been prepared.
If you look closely, you can even see a short ”snow wall” in front of the first column of the garrison array, which is only Knee High - all built with condensation and covered with ice and snow.
This thing was used by Loren to make fortifications to resist the charge of centaurs during the war of the great green sea. The effect is reliable; A short wall is enough to counteract the impact of most of the rotten corpse demons climbing up.
And this seemingly ”thin layer” wall has another function.
fire lane.
”Catapult, fire --!”
Dozens of dark shadows passed over the shield wall and hit the rotten corpse demons;
The bow and crossbow men standing in the back row also put down their crossbows and arrows one after another. They became ”bullet throwers” and roared and threw one pottery pot after another onto the rotting corpse demons who were still swarming.
At the moment of hitting, the crisp pottery jars burst one after another, and the yellowish brown liquid scattered like water.
”Igniter, launch --!”
Boom!!!!
Beyond the parapet, there is a sea of fire.
The flame is like water in essence, raging madly and devouring in the rotten corpse demon - there is no scream, let alone wail; The rotten corpse demon wrapped by the flame turned into scorched fragments in an instant; Scattered and burning fragments continue to devour the next target.
Clearly, there is a sea of fire ahead, and the rotten corpse demons in the back row are still frantically stepping into the flames; They were either bumped into a ditch or pushed off a cliff; The flame... Became an insurmountable barrier in front of them and the defenders of blood skeleton valley.
Of course, on the contrary, the defenders of blood skeleton Valley can't launch any counterattack before the flame goes out.
Count Eckert breathed a sigh of relief - this ”fire wall” could buy the defenders of blood skeleton valley about a quarter of an hour's rest; A quarter of an hour... Enough for the cavalry to come back for reinforcements and get the castle floating city to its reservation.
The next thing to do is to repeat the previous steps, beat the rotten corpse demons again and again, and then cycle back and forth; The enemy's strength may be unlimited, but it is impossible for the evil gods opposite to feel no pain when thousands of people are finished regardless of the consequences.
Then, wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then fight the devil completely.
Of course... If there are reinforcements.
After deciding to fight in the blood skeleton Valley, Ike didn't send messengers to duanjie mountain fortress for help, but there was no news, including two Bain knights, a demon hunter and five Hussars; Even after the first supply, there were no troops or messengers from the fortress of duanjieshan.
In other words, the fortress of duanjieshan at present is likely to be besieged by the Azores elves, and all roads are blocked by elves warriors.
Under such circumstances, unless the fortress miraculously defeated the Azores two days ago and immediately led at least 20000 troops north, the defenders of blood skeleton Valley could not get any assistance at all.
But such a miracle... It's impossible to think about it
There was a bitter smile on count Eckert's mouth, but it was soon forgotten.
”The whole army is in place to rest and guard!” the count of anger Castle turned his head and shouted at the infantry behind him: ”Bowman, keep gathering fire once a minute, ready...”
At the moment when the arm was waved down, a burst of cold suddenly hit.
”Hoo --”
The cold wind mixed with dust was like a cyclone rising steeply on the ground. The first column of Legion soldiers almost immediately dragged the count of fury Castle back to the shield wall and gritted their teeth against the shield.
In an instant, the air waves stopped.
The count of fury castle, with a frown, carefully pushed away the shield wall in front of him and stared warily at the opposite side of the low wall.
The sea of fire went out, leaving only bits and pieces of residue still burning in the ashes.
But the screaming rotten corpse demons didn't rush up as recklessly as just now.
Standing in the sea of fire was an old man with white hair and beard, dragging his axe upside down.
He was naked, covered only by ragged linen pants and seemingly decaying leather belts, barefoot, and his strong body stood among the embers like an iron tower; Drooping his head, but staring at every move across the street.
Chest, is a scar like cross shaped black mark.
Behind him, even the nearest rotten corpse devil ”hid” ten steps away from him.
”I'm quigo, the attendant of the 'tyrant' govait. I extend my most sincere greetings to you who have been appointed enemies by the great four gods!”
The next second, he suddenly raised his head and looked like a dead man, which shocked all the defenders of blood skeleton Valley, as if he had been stared at by some terrible beast!
He raised his battle axe, stepped on the embers under his feet and walked towards the shield wall step by step. As if he had entered a deserted place, he swung his battle axe high and aimed it at the count of anger Castle who was still in fear
Chop down.
”Dang --!”
The two short swords crossed into a cross shape held the axe blade of the Tomahawk at the last moment.
”Here we are!”
The thin gray pupil boy gasped heavily, but he still couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth: ”finally... This time the weapon didn't break into ice!”
Before he recovered from his shock, Ike, the Earl of fury castle, heard a loud bugle sounded at the foot of the hillside and thunderous hoofs.
In the roar of cavalry charge, the rotten corpse demons fell in pieces and were divided into pieces.
The Byrne knights who defeated the rotten demons' first attack are returning!
”Who are you?”
Looking at the young man blocking his axe, the evil god apostle asked directly and coldly.
Then Lucian answered more directly than he did:
”The man who killed you!”
