Chapter 156. The outbreak of intimidating the enemy
"Bang bang bang-"
The thick dirt arm smashed into the circle of gnolls around them.
The Earth Elemental Giants used their great power to rampage through the forces of the gnolls around them.
"Whoa-la-"
And the attack of the water elemental giant is even more weird.
The body composed of the water swept across those gnolls, like pouring sulfuric acid, which immediately corroded the fur and muscles on the surface, making the gnolls howl in pain, and the tomahawks in their hands slashed, but they could only leave a brief gap on the elemental body composed of the pale red water flow, which would heal instantly.
As for the Earth Elemental Giant, his body is full of pits, but he is also not afraid of the battle axe of the jackals!
For a time there was chaos outside the city walls.
Even the gnolls in the attic of the city wall were killed, and the gnolls who broke through the city gate were knocked out, and the follow-up support didn't even keep up, all of them were pulled by the 11 elemental giants!
The direction in which Kant unleashed the Elemental Giants was near the staircase and the city gates.
This was also the location of the summoning that he had carefully considered.
"Don't make a flute, put the body away and keep shooting!"
But Kant waved his hand, and the order was given quickly.
The corpses of the jackals were thrown directly out of the city wall, while the corpses of their own people were carried under the city walls, but more crossbowmen continued to rain arrows downwards with their sore hands.
This is how they fight back.
And the attacks of those gnolls against them are not over yet.
"The time is coming."
Kant gritted his teeth, the strong smell of blood and burning burns made his breath shorten.
Looking at the gnolls outside, who were in chaos due to the elemental giants and were fighting back, Kant subconsciously looked in the direction of the south side, where his real main force was hidden, as long as he appeared, he could turn the tide of the battle in an instant!
But now is not the time to show up.
And so on.
Kant understood, and so did Fatis.
"Be quiet!"
Fatis roared, signaling the restless cavalry around him to calm down.
The knight's sword in his hand was held tightly, his face was extremely ugly, but he still restrained his emotions, and roared angrily: "It's just that the city gate has been breached, the city wall has been broken through, and it hasn't reached the point where all of them are lost. ”
This is what he said to the restless cavalry, and in fact to himself.
have been waiting for so long.
As long as they continue to wait, wait for the enemy to get tired and unable to continue to maintain a high-intensity attack, that is when they attack, completely crush the enemy's tired line, completely end this tragic siege once and for all!
Even more and more crossbowmen on the walls are dying from melee combat.
The Svadia infantry at the city gate was in trouble.
These cavalrymen, who are the main force, still choose to wait, because they are all waiting for the final victory.
For the sake of the big picture.
Those crossbowmen and infantry are objects that can be sacrificed!
"All retreat, enter the city walls and gates in batches to assist in defense!"
In the attic, Manid was also giving orders loudly.
Looking at these Svadia militiamen who were a little thin and wearing iron armor, there was unbearability in his eyes, but he still commanded loudly with a ruthless heart: "For the sake of Svadia, stop those gnolls!" ”
"For Svadia!"
The militiamen chanted with excitement and hideousness on their faces.
They had already understood Manid's arrangement.
Because entering the city wall and city gate to assist in defense is actually to use your own body to block those gnolls, and for the militia who are weak in equipment and combat skills, it is equivalent to death!
But they didn't care, and strode down the stairs down the attic.
Holding his own wooden shield and holding his own fighting hoe, he rushed forward, and stubbornly resisted the two-handed battle axe of the jackal warrior, even if the wooden shield was easily split and his companion in front of him was directly chopped to death, he was not afraid to go up!
The gnolls sacrifice their lives to survive.
Then these Svadians can also sacrifice their lives for the sake of their homeland!
"Lord Kant, let's leave the walls."
Manid walked down the attic, watched the gnolls appear more and more at the city walls and gates, and said to Kant very eagerly: "We must go to the consul to set up defenses!" ”
"No, not yet!"
Kant turned his head, his face also a little hideous.
The 11 elemental giants summoned by himself outside the window were crushed little by little by the jackals with their two-handed battle axes, and the elemental bodies completely collapsed, turning into the matter of the elemental origin and declaring death.
But these elemental giants also took away the corpses of at least hundreds of gnolls.
It also involved a huge number of troops.
The opportunity was getting closer and closer, and Kant was no longer willing to retreat to the Consul to set up defenses, and if he left, the soldiers who had lost his encouragement would be breached, and the defenses of the fortress of "Drehem" would also be breached.
When the time comes, the impact of the cavalry will not have much effect.
"Lord Kant!"
Manid was eagerly dissuading: "You have to get out of here!" ”
"No, you don't!" Kant replied strongly.
The battle situation is in a critical situation, he must not leave, and the current defense line is not precarious!
500 Swadia militiamen filled the gap, resisted the attack of the gnolls with their lives, and sacrificed their lives to block the two corpse stairs and the city gate, making the battle stalemate again.
Those gnolls attacked even more frantically.
But the intensity of the attack, unconsciously, became much lighter.
The chopping two-handed tomahawk is still powerful.
But they couldn't let the wooden shield in the left hand of the Swadia militia be shattered by a single blow, often turning into two or three blows, and even because of the slowing down of the movement, they were nailed to the skull by the militiamen's fighting hoes, resulting in casualties.
Although the Swadia militia suffered casualties at a faster pace.
The deaths of the gnolls are also increasing!
Seeing that Kant did not leave the city wall at all, Manid also showed determination on his face, and continued to shoot outside the city wall with the light crossbow in his hand, slowing down the attack speed of the gnolls.
However, his brow furrowed slightly, and suddenly he also noticed that something was wrong with the gnolls.
"Their offensive has slowed down." Manid couldn't help but mumble to himself.
"That's right."
Kant took his words, and a smile finally appeared on his solemn and serious face: "It's our turn!" ”
"Whew-"
The flag planted in the middle of the road behind him instantly hunted as if it had been blown by a strong wind.
The golden lion on a red background moved in the wind, and that power spread instantly.
The invisible area was divided, and the jackals who were shrouded in this area, I don't know why they suddenly had heart palpitations, and they were still howling frantically and fighting forward with their two-handed battle axes, but now they became timid, looking at the tragic battlefield in front of them and around them, a chill appeared in their hearts.
They started to get scared, they got scared, they started to be... Instigated...
They were already short of water and food, but now they feel even more thirsty and hungry.
The power of wielding a two-handed tomahawk is waning.
Especially when he saw his companion die in front of him, not only did he lose the madness of wanting to avenge his companion desperately, but he felt more and more frightened and scared in his heart.
Morale began to plummet in a short period of time.
Even the Swadia militia noticed that the gnolls whose morale had plummeted no longer had their previous terrifying combat effectiveness.
Becomes weak and weak.
He also became afraid to work hard, and even began to retreat.
"Whew-"
Sensing that the morale of his troops was plummeting, the commander's terrible howl rang out.
Hearing this familiar howl, the surrounding gnolls seemed to regain a little courage.
But right on the city walls.
Kant's eyes were cold, he gritted his teeth and looked at a certain figure in the crowd of jackals, raised his right hand and waved it forward fiercely, and at the same time said angrily: "Do you know, my order is, to kill it!" ”
"Understood!"
The only seven remaining Ravingston Ranger still have blood on their faces.
However, the heavy bow in their hands was directly drawn into a complete shape, and the cone arrow was placed on it, facing the jackal man that Kant was referring to, and directly loosened the finger that hooked the bowstring, so that the cone arrow turned into a life-threatening black shadow, and instantly appeared on the seemingly ordinary jackal more than 20 meters away.
A cone-headed arrow strikes the center of the eyebrow.
A cone-headed arrow was shot in the throat.
Two cone-tipped arrows hit the eye sockets.
Three cone-headed arrows were shot in the chest.
Then the seemingly ordinary gnolls fell, killed instantly, with no chance of survival.
【Enemy Intimidation】
The golden lion with a red background suddenly soared, and the sound of hunting was furious and urgent.
But in the eyes of the stunned jackals around him, the fall of that figure was like the sky had fallen, his heart was beating violently, confusion filled his heart, and even the offensive was completely alleviated.
Because the commander is dead.
From the shores of Mannheim, the strongest commander of the Greymane Kingdom, the highest commander of the expeditionary force, died.
Their generals are dead!
The confusion quickly dissipated, but instead of indignation, panic appeared.
The remaining 1,500 or so gnolls are exhausted.
Looking blankly at the strong fortress in front of them, those figures with blood on their faces, but still stubbornly guarding behind the city walls and gates, even if they stepped on the corpses of their fellow human beings, they had to block their human soldiers with their lives, these gnolls suddenly felt a chill, fear and insecurity filled their hearts.
Even the two-handed tomahawk in his hand was unsteady.
"Boom-boom-"
Like a tidal current, the sound of breaking the levee can be heard on the south side.
The dazed gnolls, their eyes widened, and they saw that the humans were riding on the backs of a creature not found on the shores of Mannheim, fully armed, armed with men and horses, and armed with spears and spears, with a terrifying roar, slammed into the gnolls to the south.
The neighing of horses, the shouts of the gnolls, and the majesty of tearing a phalanx in half!
Fatis and the cavalry he led finally charged!
