Chapter 468: Frontal Battle
When Goth's order was conveyed, the entire team stopped quickly, and several huge tents were set up. The magician quickly fixed it on the ground with magic, erecting tall ice walls in front and back.
These actions were completed within three minutes, and the soldiers had already removed the set of armor from the cart, wrapped in cotton and sent into the tent.
The soldiers without armor entered the tent in an orderly manner, dressed neatly, and after walking out, they automatically lined up behind the commander.
The three hundred elite troops of the army lined up to prevent the enemy from raiding.
Five minutes later, a scout returned and reported to Goth.
"Sir, it's not good. There are a large number of troops ahead, with at least 10,000 people!"
Goth frowned and said coldly: "What are you talking about!"
The scout was still in shock. After hearing Goth's reprimand, he burst into tears and said quickly: "It's not a human army, it's all over two and a half meters in size, and the armor seems to be grown from it. They came for us!"
"Are you sure you came for us?"
"We lost two squads, with enemies on both the left and right wings."
“What is the upper limit?”
"There are more than 10,000 people who can find it. I don't know if there is any later, so we can't get around it."
"How powerful is the enemy?" Goth saw him frightened and spoke a little uneasy. He could only ask a little by little, and he was also a little impatient in his heart.
"My team lost six people. They cut off the back. The magic musket could hurt them, but it could not be killed in one go."
"It's a troll." Xia He had already seen the enemy on the ground from the feather snake's horizon, and had approached the eight-li position. It was indeed aimed at the Gothic army. The number was not ten thousand, but more than 30,000.
In the storm, these trolls were not slow to walk, and they would not be able to collide together in a long time.
Trolls are a kind of demon. They are not a powerful race in the abyss, but are just good cannon fodder soldiers with a huge population. Trolls are rough and thick in flesh, and are born with hard and heavy shells, and are not afraid of the cold and heat. Trolls are just a bit stupid and cannot give birth to very powerful existences.
"Marquis..."
"Don't worry, I'm responsible for the leader, only more than 30,000, but I can't use too high power to guard against the demon legion behind it. There is no terrible existence in this legion, and this is not an abyss. We can just eat him head-on."
"I……"
"You lead these three hundred elite troops as reserve teams, evacuate westward, and free up the battlefield. You can leave the rest to the wizard who is assured. My people are responsible for the two-headed demon. They are more than seven miles away, let's arrange them now."
"Okay." Goth immediately called a middle-aged mage and gave him some advice. Then he took three hundred elite troops to evacuate in the southwest. He only took away ten combat mages and left forty. His army was organized by 3,000, but the magicians were not included in the organization, with only fifty combat mages and as many as hundreds of auxiliary mages.
The auxiliary mages are not without attack power, but they are better at assisting warriors.
On the battlefield, they can create flat grounds to charge the knights. They can create a friendly environment, weaken the enemy's strength, and the role of assisting the mage is not small at all.
On the side of Xiahe, simply pull the team eastward and place it on the wing.
He let the magicians come first and the academy mercenaries come behind, and all the epic wizards are placed by his side. His magic deer gave Qiu Xuanji and released the evil unicorn himself.
In this way, his figure appears particularly tall among the mages.
Although the students don’t understand very well, why do we need a magician in front? Normally, we are not soldiers in front and mages throw magic behind?
But the principal was at the front of the team, with several epic wizards behind him, so they did not dare to ask.
The auxiliary mages began to create cracks on the ground directly in front of them, which were longitudinally and several meters deep. There was still a flat ice and snow ground between the cracks. Such a terrain allowed the enemy to charge straightly and could not turn. Ice walls were erected on both sides of the position.
In such weather, the ice wall will not disintegrate at all, but will become harder and harder.
The magician in charge of the command arranged two hundred people on each wing. Like Xia He's people, they prepared magic muskets and quietly waited for the enemy to appear.
There are also some mages behind who are deploying vehicle-mounted crossbows. The number is not large, only ten, which are to prevent the enemy from charging in golems and other things. After the arrangement is made, quickly adjust the angle and fix it, and just wait for the enemy to enter the battlefield.
In the wind and snow, hazy figures appeared one by one. In the human army, the commander's voice trembled and shouted loudly: "Prepare! Attack!"
The enemy is actually close to the range of two hundred meters, because the sight is too poor, even professionals cannot see that far.
Attack orders were issued, and not everyone fired.
There were only a hundred trolls scattered in the wind and snow, but Xia He did not move at all. Five hundred warriors of Prince Dingxiang fired at the same time. More than a hundred trolls fell down half in an instant. Obviously, the trolls had never seen the power of magic muskets. After being attacked, the trolls behind immediately accelerated and rushed forward.
At this time, Xia He issued an order to attack.
Including Xia He's team, at least 1,800 people launched an attack at the same time, more than 200 meters, which was very close to professionals, and even the soldiers could aim stably.
The roar sounded on the position, and Xia He sighed.
If it is a mature army, it will never rush forward like this. Both sides will definitely dispatch powerful equipment or strong people to attack each other first, and these infantry will follow forward.
This head-on rush, more than 30,000 demons will not take too long.
Xia He was relieved. It seemed that the creatures in the abyss were still very backward. For example, the Divine Zhou Empire had no such way of fighting. They were all flying ships and ground chariots to advance. Infantry protects chariots, so how could they still have such brainless charges?
The trolls are tall, and the trolls in the front row will fall before they can fall down if they hit nearly ten shots, just like moving shields.
In just half a minute, the trolls in front were close to a distance of 100 meters.
"Magic corps, prepare! Attack!"
The mages of the Prince of Dingxiang also raised magic muskets. The students on Xiahe also heard Xiahe's orders and raised their special muskets.
Bang bang...bang!
The magic bullets created against the demons hit the trolls, and a single shot was a hole larger than the fist. The trolls rolled and fell to the ground and wailed. The magic bullets entered the demon's body and were divided into six pieces. The toxins targeting the demons were released, increasing the pain a hundred times.
Even if they fail to hit the nail on the head, these demons will lose their combat power and will slowly die.
There are hundreds of magicians on the side of Xiahe. Two rounds of attacks blocked the demon's offensive, and the front line pushed back for more than fifty meters.
The magician's musket has an attack frequency of one shot every second, but its efficiency is ten times higher.
Xia He looked coldly at the distance. He did not participate in the attack, but he was holding the gun of fate in his hand. This demon legion had more than 30,000 people, not much in size. In the abyss, there were many legions of more than 100,000. Moreover, although this legion was mainly trolls, it was considered elite and there were no demons of lower level.
A legion of 100,000 and hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder exist, which is difficult to fight.
However, such a fighting style can only be borne by a wealthy empire. The Arcane Empire has accumulated too much wealth, so it doesn’t care about consumption to create magic bullets. If it were the God Zhou World, which was born in Xia He, this kind of thing would be even cheaper, and one would be built at a price of a few copper plates.
The morale of the soldiers of Prince Dingxiang was greatly boosted. These trolls came to this world, even if their strength was suppressed and they fought head-on, the soldiers would not have much confidence.
It’s okay to fight two or three at one time, but what about seven or eight?
The elites of human beings are all professionals, and they have the power of fighting spirit, but they are actually no worse than these trolls. However, the number of demon troops is ten times that of human beings, which is a very desperate number.
Fortunately, there are many mages and they have also developed magic muskets.
The soldiers were glad that the magic musket attack frequency in their hands was stable within one and a half seconds.
The thought didn't last long, and the wind suddenly became stronger. In the wind and snow, a row of demons holding giant shields rushed out, and magic bullets hit it, most of them stuck in the shield. Occasionally, there were those who penetrated the shield, but they could no longer penetrate the demon's armor.
These demons advanced more than a hundred meters, and the magic group of Dingxiang County Prince collectively released the fireball technique.
During the blizzard, the fireball flew lightly and darkly, and flew in the air for a while, suddenly fell down and exploded behind the shield.
The air waves blew the demon's corpse away, and the huge metal shield circled in the air, emitting blue smoke.
Xia He sighed. In the army of Prince Dingxiang, the proportion of mages was already very high.
"Academic mage, prepare..." Xia He waved his hand, and the students nervously began to prepare fireball techniques. Usually, mages are willing to use this magic on the battlefield, and they are easy to cooperate with each other and have no conflicts. The power of cluster attacks will expand a lot.
The freezing technique cannot superimpose magic power, and other auxiliary magic is similar.
For example, two earth-breaking techniques will also affect each other.
Fireball Technique can be almost brainless superimposed. If you have trained, the fireball interval is well mastered and its power will be increased exponentially. The demon approaches, and Xia He sees the demon in the back row taking out a rope in his hand and a leather pocket at the end.
Devil's catapult?
Xia He doesn't care about the distance, but it's so close anyway. His voice spread throughout the audience: Attack!
All the mages from the academy, including teachers, threw out the fireball at the same time, and hundreds of demons rushed up were instantly burned out of recognition in the sea of fire.
The explosion was deafening, and the soldiers' faces changed drastically.
This is the power of magic, which makes people fear and awe!
