Chapter 371: Raid at Night
The Grand Duke of Troy finally decided to send troops.
He mobilized the most elite troops from various cities in the country, numbering 10,000, with General Homer as the commander, and David and Jerry as the auxiliaries, and marched towards the Sea Dragon City.
In Sea Dragon City, General Owen, who got the news, hurriedly sent someone to invite the elven envoy to discuss the countermeasure.
Just when the two sides were discussing how to deal with the enemy, a soldier suddenly came to report, saying that the Holy Dragon City had sent troops and had been stationed on the hill near Sea Dragon City. The commander has arrived at the city gate, saying that he has brought orders from Lord Keane!
Owen hurriedly went out of the city with the elven envoy to meet the generals of the Holy Dragon City.
The leader of the troops was Dolma, who had a relationship with Owen before.
"General Dolma, you are ......" Owen was puzzled by his return and return. Now that the Holy Dragon City is in short supply, he has sent 6,000 soldiers to help, why did he suddenly send troops over?
"General Owen, this is Lord Keane's latest battle strategy!" Dolma handed a letter into Owen's hands, "It just so happens that the envoy of the elves is also here, so I don't have to make another trip." ”
"Lord Keane's latest battle strategy?" Owen opened the letter and read it with the elven emissary. When they finished reading it, both of them smiled.
"Lord Keane is really powerful," said the elven envoy, "the enemy has not yet decided to send troops, and he has already calculated this step!"
"Worthy of being a man who cooperates with the Dragons," Owen said, "We are worried about this matter, and Lord Keane immediately sent a solution! It's just that the leader of the enemy army is General Homer, the strongest of the younger generation of the Principality of Hells, he is a 7th-order great swordsman, and the two lieutenants around him are also 5th-order powerhouses, and there is an elite army of tens of thousands of people! This elite force is almost the core combat power of the Principality of Hells, and it is very difficult to deal with! Even if we are besieged by three sides, I am afraid that we will also suffer heavy losses!"
"Don't worry!" Dolma laughed, "That's why Keane-sama asked me to deliver a large number of mines and bombs as the main weapon for this battle. Coupled with the batch that Lord Keane gave to the elves before, it was enough to wipe out the elite troops of the Duchy of Hales! These weapons were all made by Lord Keane himself, and their power was quite amazing. Not to mention the army of the Principality of Hales, even if it is the elite troops of the four empires, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses!"
"So powerful?" Owen said hurriedly, "Can you show me the power first?"
"No problem!" Dolma laughed, "I'm sure you're satisfied!"
Not to mention the tripartite convergence of the Sea Dragon City, discussing tactics and studying the power of bombs and mines. It is said that General Nahomer led the elite troops of the Duchy of Wales day and night, trekking through mountains and rivers to send troops from the capital, and rushed all the way to the woods about ten miles outside Hailong City.
The army is stationed on the spot, after all, the soldiers have been on the road for several days overnight, and they must recharge their energy to be able to participate in the battle!
When the army was stationed, General Homer was not idle, and ordered the scouts to explore the way and find out the enemy's movements.
The scout went out to investigate carefully, and when he returned, he informed General Homer that the surrounding paths leading to Sea Dragon City were set up at checkpoints, and the army had no way to bypass it and surprise attack Sea Dragon City.
General Homer didn't care, since he couldn't bypass the surprise attack, he would attack from the mainland openly, and then recover Sea Dragon City in one fell swoop with an absolute advantage in combat power!
Scouts were sent here to investigate, and of course there were also on the Sea Dragon City side.
After receiving the news, the troops of the Duchy of Wales had arrived ten miles outside the sea and air city and were stationed on the spot. Owen immediately summoned Roald, the leader of the Elven Clan.
The avenue leading to Sea Dragon City has long been blocked by them, prohibiting any caravans and passers-by from passing through, and the entire avenue is covered with mines. If General Homer leads his troops directly to attack, he will suffer heavy losses in the mine array!
However, instead of attacking immediately, they camped in place to rest. Therefore, through discussions, the three forces finally decided to use more powerful tactics to deal with the enemy!
That night, General Dolma led his troops out, and all of them took off on Ruruto, took off a long way, and came to the road two kilometers away from the location of the Hales brigade, and quickly began to lay mines.
Owen led the troops to guard the road to Sea Dragon City, and the troops lined up and all entered the battle state.
Elven troops had also arrived to assist Owen in guarding the road, but 10 Pegasus Knights and 500 Bluewing Knights were all ready to attack with bombs.
In the middle of the night, Dolma's troops managed to plant a dense and terrible minefield on the road behind the army of the Duchy of Hales, and then the whole army hid in the darkness nearby, and sent a man to ride Ruruto back to Owen's side.
General Homer was unaware that the enemy had secretly planted terrible minefields on the two roads that his troops had to take before and after, and although there were troops patrolling near the camp, he could not imagine his current situation.
After receiving the information about the completion of the project on Zhuoma's side, Owen was overjoyed, and immediately said to Roald, the general of the elven clan: "Ready, it's up to you next!"
"Let's destroy all the enemy forces in one fell swoop!" Roald jumped onto Pegasus, pulled the reins and ordered loudly, "Flying Army, follow me to attack and attack!"
Pegasus flapped its wings and took Roald into the air. The other Pegasus behind him immediately took off to follow, and the 500 Bluewing Bird Knights followed, and the elven troops directly crossed the night sky and advanced towards the enemy camp.
In charge of the vigil patrol was General Jerry of the Duchy of Wales.
He led the soldiers, riding war horses, constantly moving back and forth around the camp.
"General!" suddenly a soldier shouted when he was sleepy, "What's that?"
Jerry looked at the source of the voice and saw a soldier look up and point to the sky, a look of surprise. He looked up in the direction the other party was pointing, and saw hundreds of giant birds flying in the moonlit night sky. And the leads, like some rather rare Pegasus.
"It's an elven troop!!" Pegasus can only be ridden by elves, and few other races have enough affinity to reassure Pegasus. And it seems that only the elves train birds as flying mounts!Jerry exclaimed, "Raise the alarm of enemy attack!"
"Yes!!" the soldier immediately ran back to the camp and blew a loud, trumpet-like instrument.
"Crossbowmen shoot!!" Jerry commanded, the best way to deal with an air force like this is, of course, a crossbow unit!
According to the combat experience passed down by the older generation, the elven air combat troops also need to descend to a certain level, and then attack with bows and arrows. So when they attack, it's also the best time to fight back!
Although the experience is correct, but this time the elven air force has changed its tactics. Instead of descending to the attack distance and shooting arrows, they began to throw a black orb down in the air.
