Chapter 1068

Duanjieshan fortress, late at night.

With a sudden attack from latent to chaotic war, tens of thousands of elves stationed outside the great wall of duanjie mountain not only did not have any idea to stop, but made mistakes and set out in full force.

"Rush! Climb up the city wall, attack the high tower, and turn the fortress of duanjie mountain into the territory of his Majesty the eagle king -- advance for the great cause of life and death of Azor --"

"Forward ---!!"

The thunderous cry turned the war into a carnival.

There is no Hussars charging with the roar of iron cavalry, no fire rain falling from the sky like a meteor, all the earth walls are turned into debris by crossbows and stone guns, and all the gullies are filled with corpses

On the glacier wasteland outside the wall of duanjie mountain, nothing can stop the pace of elves' attack!

The only thing that limits them is the wall of duanjieshan fortress.

Of course, the Azor elves who have traveled all the way here can't carry any siege weapons, but it's not a problem at all; The determined Elven warriors can even climb up the ice covered wall with their bare hands; Thousands of Elven warriors climbed up the outer wall of duanjieshan fortress like ants under the command.

At this time, the defenders of duanjie mountain were already in a mess under the raid of the Female Elf Warrior Alexandra, and all the tower sentinels died under the Azor long knife. As a result, no one finally reacted until the first batch of ELF warriors climbed the wall and organized defense in the chaos.

But unfortunately, it's too late.

At the moment of climbing the city wall, the elf warriors with long knives in their mouths burst into the wall like a strong wind, giving no time for the defenders to defend.

A quarter of an hour later, with the fall of an iron crown flag, the outermost defense line of duanjieshan fortress was declared to fall!

In the face of the attack of the Azores, the imperial defenders who barely maintained their morale and did not collapse retreated one after another like crenels and corridors, and organized temporary defense lines in narrow channels to block the enemy's attack layer by layer.

This is also because of the special design of duanjieshan Fortress - there may only be such a fortress in the world. It was predicted that it might be captured at the beginning of construction, so every section of the city wall and corridor can be sealed with falling iron fences or stone walls.

For this reason, after judging that the enemy had planned to attack recklessly, dreisis, the deputy commander of the fortress, immediately gave the order to abandon the peripheral retaining wall; Every 100 person team leaving the defensive position must seal the corridor when leaving.

Relying on the intermittent retreat and constant abandonment of positions, the garrison of duanjie mountain finally curbed the attack momentum of the Azores, controlled the enemy's attack range within the peripheral wall, and could no longer penetrate inward.

The Azores who occupied the outer parapet immediately found that all the fortifications and facilities they controlled were one-way and could not be used to continue attacking the interior of the fortress.

But the price was also heavy - at least half of the hundred troops were blocked in the outer wall by the abandoned corridor because they had no time to retreat; Or they were trapped in the corridor with the attacking Azores when they lowered the gate, or they were broken through the defense line by the elves before they had time to lower the gate.

"Gather your courage, believers of the Holy Cross!"

In front of the wall defense line of duanjieshan fortress, the oath Knights holding high swords stood in front of the shield wall and acted as flag officers and pre war commanders.

"Evil people who do not believe in God have come to you, and the door of the Holy Cross has been opened to you - warriors fighting side by side tonight, you will not have to fear anything, because you are fighting for the Empire and faith!"

"If you don't flinch from the former, you will go to hell; fight the dead and ascend to heaven!"

"In the name of the Holy Cross, we stick here and fight to death with the devil!"

"In the name of the Holy Cross --!!"

The uniform cry made the eyes of the defenders of duanjie mountain more firm.

Although most of the oath knights are not excellent officers, as the "sword missionaries" of the Holy Cross Church, they are not afraid of death. Their figure standing up from the pool of blood again and again can greatly stimulate the morale of the soldiers and call on everyone to fight with the banner of faith.

Compared with the fanatical defenders of duanjie mountain, the Azores who rushed up the city wall seemed to be "indifferent".

Staring at the new oath knight in the opposite armor, Alexandra, the chief adjutant of the governor's court, who was wounded, gasped in a low voice. Her hot throat was mixed with tears, sweat and blood, and came in and out with the exhaled heat.

The long knife full of damage lay on the side of the body with the raised right arm, and the viscous plasma continued to drip from the center of the blade; It falls on the bluestone slab and turns into solidified "blood ice".

"Kill --!"

With the roar of both sides, the elf warriors waving long knives rushed to the oath Knights holding high the battle flag, and the Legion soldiers forming the shield wall launched an attack.

There was no formation, let alone the angry drink of the commander, but these excessively "silent" Elven warriors cut bright colors in front of the "black wall" like a turbulent "blade torrent".

"Poof!"

The cold long knife went through the gap between the shields and through the soldier's throat. With a wave of the sharp blade, his head flew up; But before the excited Elf Warrior broke the shield wall, the halberds on both sides had attacked him one by one.

There were two headless bodies on the middle line of the fight, which were forcibly squeezed out of the defensive line by the shield wall in the back row.

The next second, the two corpses were covered by the footsteps of fighting each other and the blood sprayed out; The shield collides with the body, and the sound of long sword and halberd is intertwined.

The fanatical Legion soldiers stood against the shield wall, chopping and stabbing the halberds in their hands; Almost everyone puts his shield on the back of the previous person and uses the whole front to share the pressure of charging.

The silent Azores elves warriors are more like silent wolves, desperate to tear the seemingly unbreakable shield wall of the Legion soldiers in various ways, trying to break through with flesh and blood again and again.

The narrow terrain between the city wall and the corridor has both advantages and disadvantages for each other; Although the garrison of duanjieshan can block a certain front with very few troops, it also means that once it is defeated, the whole front will immediately become full of holes;

The Elven warriors whose mobility and space are limited by the battlefield can also make breakthroughs with the help of each other's cooperation; Because the terrain is narrow and the enemy is a shield wall composed of large shields, the scope of attack is also very limited.

Although the ordinary Azor long knife can't tear the iron armor, it can break the shield and tear the gap that can't be closed on the shield wall, making the black city wall no longer safe.

However, with the help of terrain and queue advantages, the Legion soldiers finally slowed down the attack speed of the elves and limited the battlefield to the connection between the peripheral wall and the second retaining wall.

The cruel fighting drama is staged at this connection.

Regardless of life and death, the Elven warriors charged again and again in the narrow terrain, and were blocked by the shield wall again and again, leaving a thin body; The seemingly solid shield wall was torn open one after another, and the vacancy was reluctantly sealed after paying a considerable degree of casualties.

In this sacrifice of life and death, the defenders of duanjieshan who could not withstand heavy casualties had to shrink the front and retreat to a deeper and narrow front after leaving a place of corpses to ensure that the queue would not collapse.

Without any hesitation, the Elven warriors who saw the fighter immediately stepped over the corpses and continued to attack the retreating defenders of duanjie mountain.

But at this time, the soldiers of the Legion who formed the shield suddenly squatted down and leaned the shield against their shoulders; It exposed the archers who raised heavy crossbows in the back row and filled them with aiming crossbows.

"Fifteen steps, shoot --!"

The roaring shadow and the sound of breaking the air attacked the elf warriors without any cover, and immediately the charging team fell down like cutting wheat.

"Ten steps, shoot --!"

Bow and crossbow men kneeling on one knee threw down heavy crossbows and picked up shields and heavy swords; The boa Hussars standing at the end of the shield wall raised their short bows and shot wildly at the Elven warriors who had no intention of retreat.

The invisible shadow shuttles rapidly through the narrow passage - the power of the short bow of the Hussars is much smaller than that of the crossbow, and it is even difficult to penetrate the enemy's body like a crossbow; However, the sharp wolf tooth arrow can tear open the wound, even plunge into the skin and flesh, which is difficult to pull out, and continuously bleed the enemy.

There are more and more fallen warriors, but none of them retreat, let alone flinch; They continued to attack in silence, as if more roars were a waste of killing strength.

Five steps

"Boyi, tear them up for Archduke salika --!"

With the bloodthirsty roar, the Hussars who threw down the short bow held their sabers high, formed a "wedge array" of cavalry charge, and rushed forward against the elves warriors who rushed forward.

Blood spatter!

Unlike the Legion soldiers who are good at front combat, boy's warriors are as good at fighting alone and chaotic group warfare as elf warriors, and know how to protect themselves with flexible pace and speed;

The sabres, axes and daggers in their hands are as excellent melee weapons as Azores' long knives; At least for flesh and blood elves and humans, there is no essential difference between the two.

"Believers of the Holy Cross, charge --!"

Almost after the charging of the boi hussars, the Legion soldiers who kept the line trotted into the battlefield at the same time; The Hussars caught in the scuffle were covered with straight spiked halberds and shield walls.

Such a tacit "step and ride coordination" finally took back some room for counterattack after repelling the charging momentum of the elves warriors, and always limited the battlefield to the original place, so that the elves could not advance inch by inch.

"Dang --!"

At the moment of fire, the broken long sword collided with the knight's epee fiercely.

"In the name of the Holy Cross, unbelieving villains, go to hell!"

The oath Knight waving the big sword glared at the Elf Female Warrior, and his hands clenched the handle of the sword continued to increase his strength: "I pray that the Holy Cross can give you the most fair trial!"

Alexandra, with trembling arms, clenched her lower lip and raised her long knife horizontally; Almost as the sword fell, an invisible arrow flew to the chest of the oath knight.

Samurai way, guerrilla arrow!

"Poof!"

The next second, the flower of blood blooms in the chest of the oath knight; The burly body suddenly trembled, knelt on one knee, and the big sword that had not been split fell vertically.

Now, die!

"Dang --!"

The suddenly raised arm guard stopped the blade cutting the head. The sharp blade even tore off the armor, went deep into the skin and got stuck on the arm bone.

But in this way, it is tantamount to taking away the blade of the elf samurai!

"The guardian of the Holy Cross, as the shield of defense, we... Will not easily fall because of the pain of flesh and blood!"

The bloody oath Knight slowly got up and looked down at the iron faced Elven Warrior: "I... Will never embrace death before banishing you unbelieving villains to hell."

"Even if you cut thousands of knives and wash yourself with blood, you will continue to fight! Even if you fall into hell, you will get up again and continue to stand!"

Alexandra, who had lost her weapon, looked at the long knife taken away, and her expression was very difficult to see.

And just then

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

A sudden loud noise came from the direction of the outer parapet, and all the people standing on the wall trembled!

Then, the elves with different expressions and the defenders of duanjie mountain almost turned their eyes to the direction of the roar.

This sound, is it that the gate has been

……………………

"Got it --!"

The Elven warriors standing under countless triangular flags were extremely excited. They looked at the gate of duanjie mountain fortress opened in front of them, and the corners of their mouths rose madly.

Five days... No, it should be ten days!

From the first bloody battle with the garrison of duanjieshan fortress, desperate bloody battle to now... Five days... Finally

It's ours!

The cold wind roared in the wilderness and rolled up the sound of "Wuwu", which made the elf warrior look back and look at his adjutant: "did you hear the voice just now?"

"Yes," the guard replied respectfully, "it's the sound of the wind."

"No, that's the horn of victory!" the elf warrior said excitedly: "it's the sad horn of duanjieshan fortress, and this desolate ice field is telling us that it's time to seize the fortress!"

The guard immediately nodded yes.

"Order the whole army, regardless of front and rear teams, high and low status, everyone to immediately launch a surprise attack on the fortress of duanjieshan and launch an all-round attack. All enemies will be killed without amnesty!"

"Don't chase the fleeing enemy; don't loot the warehouses and materials in the fortress; annihilate all the enemies who are still resisting - don't chase even the emperor of the Empire who is fleeing. Let him run like a drowning dog!"

"Tonight, seize the city --!"
