Chapter six hundred and sixty-four, both shot
The departure of the giant war units under his command undoubtedly caused a huge enough noise.
Almost the entire battlefield was rumbled by the heavy footsteps.
Twenty war elephants led the way.
Three giant elephant warriors followed behind.
This may not be a good thing to say, but compared to the giant elephant warrior, it would not be too painful for him if three or four of the war elephants died.
The status of the War Elephant unit in his civilization of all realms is indeed not particularly important.
But even so, Luo Ji still covered each war elephant with a layer of leather armor in a decent manner.
In order to increase their combat effectiveness and survivability on the battlefield.
A large number of giant units rushed out, and Zhang William's eyelids jumped when he saw them in the distance.
Regarding the fact that Luo Ji had giant war units such as War Elephants and Elephant Men under his command, Zhang William had obviously received intelligence information a long time ago.
But when he really needs to face it.
I still can't help but feel pressure in my heart.
War elephants and elephant men are inherently thick-skinned and have excellent defense capabilities, making these two arms equivalent to mobile fortresses in the cold weapon age.
After putting on leather armor, the defensive power will undoubtedly become even better.
Even according to the lethality of the elf archer's shot, it is difficult to cause clear damage to it.
Not to mention that those professionally trained war elephants are not stupid either.
He knows how to swing his long trunk to sweep away the incoming arrows.
Zhang William had already witnessed this with his own eyes during the round of volleys just now.
For his elven civilization, he wants to attack enemy units of this level.
Either launch a powerful enough offensive magic, or use crossbows and catapults, ordnance specifically designed to target large and giant war units!
Powerful offensive magic cannot be activated just by activating it.
Considering the current situation and distance, the best way at present is undoubtedly to use the defensive bed crossbow to attack the enemy's giant war units.
The racks of defensive equipment had undoubtedly been placed at the forefront of the military formation by Zhang William.
It can be said that he has transported all the defensive equipment that can be transported from the surrounding cities.
A total of fifteen defensive crossbows and five catapults were lined up right there.
After all, according to his original plan, he wanted to seize the initiative, then lock the opponent's position and launch a full range of long-range offensive.
In this way, he naturally arranged all the defensive equipment in advance for easy output.
If the bed crossbow is left open for a long time, accidents may easily occur.
He even wanted to install the heavy crossbow arrows in advance.
In this way, as soon as the enemy on the opposite side appears, he can fire directly.
Zhang William's counterattack formation is also quite powerful.
This put a lot of pressure on Luo Ji.
He quickly signaled the archer troops and crossbowmen who were behind to move up quickly.
Facing such a battle, if there is no long-range cover.
If you want to break through head-on and attack forcefully, you will probably have to pay a high price.
Accompanied by a series of buzzing sounds.
After a while of operations, fifteen defensive crossbows on the opposite side opened fire at the same time!
Heavy crossbow arrows roared out one after another, clearly targeting the twenty war elephants that were opening the way ahead.
"That William Zhang is really difficult to deal with..."
Squinting his eyes, Luo Ji's face undoubtedly became more solemn.
Zhang William did not choose to let the defender's bed crossbow focus fire on the giant elephant warrior who was obviously a greater threat.
This is where his intelligence lies.
He saw the situation clearly.
It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt ten of them.
Put war elephants and mammoth warriors together.
The attack of his city guard bed crossbow can clearly pose a fatal threat to the war elephant.
But if the attack target is changed to a giant elephant warrior, then the threat will be very limited.
Taking into account the issue of the hit rate of the city defense bed crossbow, even after several rounds of firing, one may not be able to be killed.
Therefore, before the two armies come into contact, it is undoubtedly more cost-effective to concentrate the firepower of the fifteen defensive bed crossbows on destroying the enemy's war elephants and reducing the number of war elephants than focusing on the giant fire elephant warriors.
The mournful cries of the war elephants in the front row soon reached Luo Ji's ears.
Fifteen defensive crossbows fired at the same time. Even if it was a matter of luck, there was a good chance of one or two hits.
Not to mention that the opponent was still aiming when he fired.
The enemy fired their first salvo, and two war elephants on Luo Ji's side were hit instantly by heavy crossbow arrows from the opposite side.
The blood that overflowed from the wound directly dyed half of the war elephant's body red.
Although it did not hit any vital points and caused fatal damage, the severe pain still caused the two war elephants to fall into a state of near-out-of-control rampage.
While making waves of elephant roars, they rushed crazily towards Zhang William's military formation in the distance.
Now that the battle has evolved into this situation.
What else is there to say?
Don't be timid, just do it!
Against such an opponent with ferocious long-range firepower.
If you can't block it, the longer you delay, the harder the opponent will hit you.
The horn of attack was blown directly.
The war elephant soldiers in the front row simultaneously drove the war elephants to charge towards the enemy formation.
Three mammoth warriors followed closely behind.
The sword and shield troops and the halberdier troops followed in turn.
It can be said that the real showdown between Luo Ji and Zhang William officially kicked off at this moment.
As the distance between the two parties gets closer.
The archers and goblin crossbowmen under Luo Ji's command began to pour firepower frantically towards the enemy formation.
At this moment, the other party naturally responded mercilessly.
The addition of catapults and the elf mages in the back row made the long-range firepower of the opposing elf army even more fierce.
In a battle, the main armies of both sides have not even come into contact with each other, and they are already fighting fiercely.
Wait until the distance is close enough.
The elf priests in the back row decisively began to add buffs to the entire army.
Then, Zhang William resolutely drew his sword and swung his sword towards the enemy who was charging forward!
This sword pulls countless gusts of wind.
Accompanied by a violent surge in the surrounding airflow.
A blast of wind technique wreaked havoc directly towards the enemy formation in the distance!
The invisible wind roared on the battlefield.
However, Zhang William's violent wind technique failed to achieve the same effect as before.
The reason was simple: Luo Ji was prepared.
The charge formation of the entire main force is relatively dispersed.
This greatly reduces the impact of the wind pressure blowing on them.
Of course, there is another more important reason.
Those are the war elephants and giant elephant warriors at the front of the battle formation.
According to their tonnage, they can't be moved with just one blast of wind...
