Chapter 142 Siege War (for subscription)
Compared to the skeleton soldiers under Ashes, the weapon held by the mouse elf is not bad.
These mouse elves held spears with fine iron tips in their hands, and wore thick leather armor. At first glance, they knew that this was a good product that the Gray Shadow Clan had hoarded for a long time.
With the blessing of these weapons and equipment, the morale of the mouse elves also increased a lot. When the mouse knight Huici rushed out, all the mouse elves also rushed out.
Shu Xi, who was standing behind, rolled his eyes again. He had never met such a brainless guy. No wonder the number of Mouse Knights is getting smaller and smaller. He rushed directly to the front. This is what a fool would do. thing.
Shu Xi had no intention of rushing out at all, he was holding a staff behind him, and kept blessing various spells for the rushing mouse elf.
This is the unique ability of the rat priest, the plague technique.
After Shu Xi became a hero, his plague technique became significantly stronger. With his blessing, the rat spirits who rushed out became significantly larger.
The skin also turned red with red eyes, and the speed of rushing was also accelerated a bit.
As soon as they rushed out of the Gray Shadow Clan's land, Chen Wei in the woods discovered what was going on here.
"Shuxin, Chasing Wind is ready to fight."
Shu Xin was already hiding in the woods at this time. As soon as he saw the situation here, he opened his longbow and fired a wave of shots at the mouse elves who rushed out.
Afterwards, Shu Xin no longer cared about the affairs here.
The rain of arrows that fell from the sky took the lives of more than forty mouse elves on the spot, and then the mouse elves collided with the skeleton soldiers.
The weapons in the hands of the skeleton soldiers commanded by the ashes are inferior to the mouse elves, but they are better than the mouse elves in one thing, that is, they don't need morale or anything. The mouse elves look crazy, but in terms of fighting life, They are really no match for skeleton soldiers.
After fighting with the skeleton soldiers, the mouse elf was able to fight the skeleton soldiers evenly at first, but as time passed, the skeleton soldiers slowly gained the upper hand.
In the end, it turned into a skeleton soldier pressing down on the mouse elves to fight.
Such a situation surprised the heroes in the elf tribe. They never thought that two hundred mouse elves would not be able to defeat less than two hundred skeleton soldiers.
This situation is obviously wrong, Hui Gang roared angrily, "Hui Ci, are you stupid, what number are you fighting with the skeleton soldiers, just clear them away."
Hui Ci, who was in the battle, couldn't hear Hui Gang's words at all, but the Rat Priest knew something was wrong when he saw it. He hurriedly took the Rat Priest to the passageway of the clan, "Bless the Rat Elves with various plagues, let them rush Go into the woods."
But what Shu Si did was still too late. When he gave the order, Zhui Feng had already rushed out of the woods with the centaur.
Three different centaur troops rushed out in four groups. The first three hundred centaurs were all mirror-image centaurs, followed by demonized centaurs, and then a hundred nightmare centaurs. .
As for the centaur in the forest, they belong to the auxiliary force and always follow the last.
Chasing the wind is of course the one rushing to the front.
Beside him, there are three mirror images belonging to him.
When nearly 600 centaurs rushed out, the heroes of the Gray Shadow Clan were stunned.
They never expected that the opponent could have so many centaurs.
You must know that here in the Huiying Clan, excluding the rats, all the residents add up to no more than 10,000 people. Among them, there are about 2,400 laborers who can work, and about 1,800 guards in the city, who can be used to fight. There are no more than four hundred soldiers.
The rest are all civilians who are used to pay taxes. They are the population base of the Gray Shadow Clan, and they are also supplements when there is a shortage of labor or guards.
Before, what Hui Gang and Shu Si were fighting for was the balance between labor and guards.
No matter how they did it, they couldn't control the level of civilians.
As a result, no one expected that Chen Wei took out nearly 600 centaurs as soon as he made a move.
This force directly exceeded the imagination of the heroes of the Gray Shadow Clan.
Upon seeing such a situation, Shu Si immediately ordered: "Let them withdraw."
"Cannot withdraw."
At this time, Hui Gang also appeared at the entrance of the passage.
"They can't withdraw now. Once they withdraw, we will be too late. Close the gate and prepare the catapult."
"Huigang, what do you mean?"
"Nothing interesting, just to teach you how to do things at this time, retreat, you really think too much, don't you see what kind of troops that are? They are centaurs, as long as they are given a chance, they can rush to the city.
Close all the city gates, and now I will take over all the city guards. "
"Huigang, do you know what you are doing?"
"Of course, I am preparing for the battle to defend the city. Is there anything wrong?"
"The defense of the city was proposed by me."
"But you didn't seize the opportunity, so Shu Si, you should take care of your laborers. I will handle the defense of the city. All the guards will gather at the barracks, and the laborers and civilians will retreat to a safe area.
Rack up the catapult and prepare the ammunition. "
Speaking of which, Hui Gang took a look at the battle outside, "Order the mouse elves outside the city to hold back the centaur, and tell Hui Ci that he can't come back."
After saying this, Hui Gang waved his hand and asked his subordinates to start giving orders.
Shu Si wanted to stop all of this, but was stopped by someone.
Shu Si turned his head to look, and found that Anhui was standing not far away.
"My lord, look at him."
"Hui Gang did the right thing. If you had just waited for the mouse elves to retreat back, we would have missed the opportunity to close the door. Have you forgotten how fast the centaur rushed into the city?"
Although he said so, Shu Si was still a little upset.
He snorted heavily, and no longer bothered about Hui Gang.
At this time, Hui Gang had already used the catapult placed on the huge rock, and at the same time all the city guards had entered the barracks and received the prepared weapons and equipment in the barracks.
These city guards are not mouse elves sent outside, they are a bit like soldier bees in the hive tree world, or like the archers in the arrow tower of the city castle in the game "Invincible Heroes".
They will only be used when defending the city. Usually, they are regarded as tool people in the city, just like laborers. The background board means that their status is higher than that of ordinary people.
Now is the best time for them to play their role. With the efforts of these guards, all the gates of the Gray Shadow Clan were closed, and the catapults on the giant rock were pushed out.
At the same time, a large number of archers with light crossbows appeared at a large number of shooting ports, and their targets were the centaurs who were attacking the rat elf team in the open space below.
