The Journey of the Demon Hunter

The dwarf's pursuit slowed down, and the ground in front of the solitary mountain ignited a raging flame. The corpse and weeds burned together, and together with the pool of blood gathered on the ground, it exuded a disgusting stench.

"Can the dwarf's ballista not shoot the catapult?" Zelin frowned.

"The ballista fixed on the city wall is definitely not as large as the bed crossbow." Francesca shook her head: "Their fortress can be compared to the gate of Mahakam. The wall is too narrow. If you want to fix the bed crossbow, there will be no There is so much room for guarding. However, there are not many trebuchets. The ammunition of the trebuchets should be carried by the chariot people. Except for the lone mountain guarded by the dwarves, there seems to be not many places where large rocks can be mined. This is a wasteland."

"It seems that Smaug turned this place into a wasteland in those days. At least the enemy has no forests that can be cut down, and they can't make more siege equipment." Zelin took a deep breath: "The vanguard is defeated, the main force of the chariot people. The march began. Altariel, ordered Arrow Tower to shoot at the main force of the chariot people, and see if they can find a way to attract them, delay the enemy's speed, and give Thorin time to retreat to the lonely mountain. !"

When the trebuchet appeared, Dan's goat riders immediately gave up chasing the deserters. They circled to the enemy's side, marched along the foot of the mountain, as far as possible from the enemy, and rounded towards the enemy's rear.

The marching chariot people didn't seem to care about the cavalry. They only sent a team of chariots to chase these knights, but they were quickly left behind by Dan with the help of the terrain. The goat bounced on the undulating hills, and it didn't take long to get away from the chariot.

"Follow me, lads!" Dann held his warhammer and pointed forward: "Destroy their trebuchet!"

The goat rider circumvented an arc, avoided the enemy's large forces, turned and rushed towards the trebuchet position on the hillside. The trebuchet is still throwing rocks towards the lone mountain. They wisely hid outside the range of the ballista, and the dead bodies left by the vanguard soldiers and the crossbow arrows pierced in the soil became the best measurement markers.

The goat cavalry rushed down the hill, rushed straight up the slope, and killed the catapult. The militia soldiers operating the catapult turned and fled backwards.

"Kill!" Dan yelled, "Kill all these cowards!"

Just as the dwarf knight was about to rush up the hillside, the chariot people lancers ambush behind the hillside swarmed up, rushed to the top of the hill, and attacked the cavalry who had slowed down due to the impact on the hillside. Many goat mounts were stabbed with spears and fell bloody, the dwarf knights were thrown to the ground, and more chariot people rushed up, using warhammers and daggers to assassinate the warriors who lost their mounts. Dan's wild boar was also stabbed. Although his neck was blocked by armor, he was also stabbed in two places, and the blood that ran out stained his fur.

Several spears stabbed at Dan at the same time, and Dan swept away with the hammer, but before he had time to fight back, several spears pierced from the other direction, making Dan exhausted to guard.

In just a moment of effort, more than a dozen dwarf knights fell under the spear.

Together with the spear stab at Dan, he could only subconsciously raise his arm to block, and the bracer slashed the blow, but the spear pierced his shoulder. Dann endured the pain, turned around, and swung his hammer vigorously to drive back the surrounding enemies.

Several chariot soldiers chased after him. The spear left several holes in Dan's cloak, but did not pierce the armor. The mount was also stabbed twice, and the well-trained pigs did not lose control, but ran faster.

"Damn it, retreat!"

There were a hundred and fifty goat cavalry, but nearly one-third of them had fallen here.

"Retreat, retreat!"

The remaining riders turned and fled, but some riders who lost their mounts could not escape. Finally, when Dan led them out of the attack range of the Pikemen, there were only more than 80 goat riders left.

"Dane!" A dwarf knight raised his hand to the top of his head: "Look over there!"

Dan raised his head and saw a majestic flying beast spread its wings and flew towards them.

"Wizard!" Dan knew the monster and the owner of the giant beast. He raised his hand: "Wizard!"

"Retreat to River Valley City, Dan!" Zelin shouted as the Griffon flew over the goat rider's head, "River Valley City, someone will meet you!"

Dan looked towards Lonely Mountain. Thousands of chariot militia groups surrounded the gate of Lonely Mountain, separating them from Thorin. The chariots that had been thrown away caught up again, and on the plain, their speed was getting faster and faster.

"From the valley!" Dan didn't hesitate: "Go ahead at full speed!"

Riding a griffon, Zelin flew towards the trebuchet position of the chariot people.

"We must destroy their siege equipment!" Zelin grasped the reins with both hands: "Altariel, take out the left package, count the third and fourth bombs from the left to the right of the package!"

The elf ranger immediately followed the demon hunter's order, unbuttoned the package, and reached in and fumbled. The wind was so strong that Zelin had to grasp the reins to control the Griffin. Only elf rangers like Altarel could balance against the wind on the back of the swaying Griffin.

"Are these two?"

Zelin lowered his eyes and glanced at it: "Yes. The silver thread of the two of them are tied together, hurry up!"

The chariot people below raised their heads and looked at the behemoth flying above them in surprise. This was not a creature they knew, and they had never thought that they would encounter such an enemy in Gushan. The griffon flew over the dwarf knight's head but did not make any attacks. Obviously, this was an ally of the dwarf, not a servant of the Dark Lord.

"It's done!"

Zelin grabbed the reins, the Griffin's leaning body dived down.

"Throw at the trebuchet!"

"Throw it out?"

"Throw!"

When diving to a place about 20 meters from the ground, Altarel dropped the bomb, Zelin held the reins with one hand, and the Griffin flapped its wings and glide past the trebuchet. The free hand of the demon hunter snapped his fingers, and the fuse of the bomb immediately burst into thin smoke.

The Dream of the Dragon and the Foehn wind fell on the trebuchet at the same time. The Dream of the Dragon, which exploded first, scattered light green dust in the trebuchet room. Looking at the green dust, many people covering their mouths and noses and coughing were unidentified.

The next moment, the exploding Foehn wind ignited the dust, and the place where the two trebuchets were located instantly fell into flames!

"Successful." There was not much joy in Altariel's voice: "A group of enemies is marching towards River Valley City."

"I saw it." Zelin didn't stop and flew straight to the river valley. Below, four phalanx chariot militiamen marched along the road towards River Valley City: "Don't worry." He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Everything went according to plan."

The 2486th chapter strategy transfer

Dann and his cavalry fled into River Valley City in embarrassment. His subordinates were all brave warriors, but there were so many enemies that this group of separated cavalry could not do anything at all, and it was even more difficult to reverse the battle.

"The chariot people are coming soon, how is the defense here?" Dann just rushed into the city gate riding a war pig, and asked the human guard who opened the gate for him: "Does the wizard say how to defend the city? Yes. What plan?"

"There is no plan to defend the city, dwarf." Francesca greeted her. On the street behind her, the soldiers who had operated the arrow tower were approaching with their weapons: "We should retreat. There are too few people here, and the enemy There are too many to hold. Let your people not leave the mount, we must leave before the city is surrounded."

"What?" Dann looked surprised: "Just throw away the valley like this?"

The falcons of griffins in the sky, black shadows swept across the street, several soldiers raised their heads, and withdrew their gazes in relief.

"He's back." Francesca watched Zelin land on a crossroad with a fountain riding a griffin: "You can ask him, and he will explain to you, but I think he should be talking while walking on the road. "

"Why haven't you left?" Zelin temporarily handed the reins of the Griffon to Altariel, turned and jumped down: "Hurry up, they are very close to River Valley City, if they separate more cavalry and chariots. Come chase, no one here can escape to Long Lake Town! Dan, I am glad you can come back and retreat to the river valley as soon as possible, with the people here."

"Unbelievable, we didn't even fight, so we threw an intact city to the enemy. The arrow tower here can kill the enemy dozens of times with the defending army before they smashed through the wall." He sighed: "But you are the commander, so you have the final say! Do you need me to stay behind to intercept the enemy's pursuits?"

"No, I destroyed their trebuchets. Now the speed of the chariot people's advance has slowed down. They should be worried about me attacking again." Zelin set his hands: "Don't take any cover, don't wait, it's like defeating and retreating. As always, run directly to Long Lake Town. Don’t stop, it’s better to run without looking back. It must be like the defeated ones, absolutely not let people see that it is an orderly retreat. By the way, Dan, you take it Get some valuable gold and gems. If the enemy catches up, you throw them to the ground. Don't stop until you see Jaques who is coming to meet you."

Thorin and Brand retreated to the interior of the Lonely Mountain and regrouped. The heavy rock gate was closed. The chariot people's siege hammer had no effect on the gate. Instead, they were killed and wounded by the heavy crossbows on the wall by the dwarves. So the chariot people chose to besiege the lone mountain, and sent slaves and soldiers to the edge of the forest by the big lake to cut firewood, preparing to build new siege towers and trebuchets.

The remaining part of the chariots took over River Valley City smoothly. The defenders of River Valley City did not even make a decent resistance. When they saw that the battle on the plain was lost and more chariot soldiers approached the River Valley, the defenders immediately gave up their resistance and abandoned the city and fled. Only a part of the chariot people chased the escaped defenders, but they were forced to retreat when they were hit back by the garrison in Changhu Town halfway through.

According to the plan, Jaques met at the edge of Long Lake Town, and he appeared with him, as well as a team of elven archers from the Woodland Kingdom.

"I don't think that in order to report the victory, so many people do not need to come to Long Lake Town." Jaques held a two-handed sword in his hand, with dark blood remaining on the blade: "How is the situation?"

"Generally, it's not too good or too bad." Zelin looked back at the rocky path behind him. The elven archers ambushing nearby caused the chariot people to drop more than 30 corpses with two volleys. The chariot people turned to retreat: "But don’t worry, it’s definitely not as bad as you think. They defeated the enemy’s vanguard, but when more chariot people appeared, Thorin and Brand led the remaining soldiers to retreat. In the lone mountain. I destroyed their siege equipment, at least for now, they can only surround the city."

The soldiers who had fled all the way sat on the ground nearby, panting, throwing their spears and shields casually, panting for breath. Soldiers from Longhu Town brought cold water to their companions. Although they looked embarrassed, they did not reduce their personnel. Only two goat riders were wounded by the bows and arrows of the chariot hussars during the retreat.

"Take these people to Changhu Town for rest...How is the situation in Changhu Town?"

"The chariot people tried to make rafts and crossed the great lake to attack the town. My troops ambushing outside the town attacked them and killed many people." Jaques shrugged: "I didn't expect the elves of the woodland kingdom to suddenly appear. We killed almost four hundred of them. We also burned the rafts they had made. The remaining enemies fled back to their camp in the lower reaches of the Long River."

"Don't attack them yet." Zelin raised his hand: "They are not the key. There are not many civic soldiers in these chariots, and it is impossible to influence the situation of the battle."
