Chapter 205: Battle for Phoenix Gate
Mousse is indeed a professional dark elf dread lord. Although he is not as good as a slave master, he also knows which slaves are the most valuable.
Skaven and elves can definitely be considered slaves, but the unit value of elves is definitely better than that of skaven.
With such a treaty in hand, there is no need to worry about the Terror Lord who is attacking the city cheating.
The Dark Elves are a race full of meanness, cunning, and backstabbing. Before any cooperation is made, everything must be agreed upon.
If a loss is caused by a loophole, you certainly cannot say that others are despicable, you can only blame yourself for being careless.
200 elven slaves are not a small number. Although there are tens of thousands of slaves in the capital of the dark elves, most of them are humans. The price of elven slaves is naturally self-evident.
Compared with capturing the fortress, the 200 elven slaves seemed less important.
The Dread Lord in charge of the siege immediately took out a contract made of human skin, bit his finger, and wrote the contract on it with blood.
After checking several times and finding no problems, Mousse also pressed his own blood mark, then turned his head to look at Wendlow.
"fire."
At the command, four cannons attacked in turn, and a steady stream of lead shells hit the city wall heavily.
Human firearms are so powerful that their range far exceeds the arrow towers and magic towers of Phoenix Gate, leaving the high elves with no way to launch a counterattack.
They were beaten for nothing, and there was no way to send people to repair the city walls while they were in combat.
In a short while, a section of the thick elven city wall had been blown down.
The only thing the High Elves could do was to withdraw their troops from the city walls before they collapsed and form a shield wall behind the damaged walls.
A sudden breach in the city wall meant the dark elves had the opportunity to stream in.
Abandoning the heavy siege ladders, all the dark elf troops have gathered.
As for Mousse and Windlow, they also left the battlefield after getting their own 200 elf slaves. The next thing would be left to Izexi.
The high elf magician Hoss used his special identity to easily enter the Phoenix Gate and even had the opportunity to meet with the commander.
At this time, the Phoenix Guards in charge of defense were very excited. With the help of Master Hoss, it would be much easier to resist the dark elves.
Now, the imperial firearms that the dark elves had brought from somewhere were used to easily blow down the city walls.
This terrifying creature that spewed out tongues of fire reminded all the high elf troops of the terrible experience in the Battle of Longbeard in the story.
It was this kind of gunpowder weapon that the dwarves used to defeat the elves.
The only good news was that the dark elves didn't seem to be very good at using firearms. After knocking down the city wall, they stopped firing, apparently because they had run out of ammunition.
However, the dark elf army has already completely reached the border and is only one step away from the city wall.
How to defend is the biggest problem now.
Whether in a skirmish or a defensive battle, it is extremely difficult for the High Elves to deal with the Dark Elves.
It seems that all the dark elf troops were created to restrain the high elf troops.
Almost all infantry units of the Dark Elves have huge tower shields that can withstand long-range fire from the front.
Moreover, the high elf archers, who were wearing heavy armor and had weak armor-piercing ability, were completely helpless against this.
Team after team of dread spearmen holding shields kept moving towards the city wall.
Most of the arrows shot by the high elf archers were absorbed by the shield. Even if a small number of them penetrated the shield, they could not penetrate the defense of the heavy armor.
After a round of arrow rain, only a few Dread Spearmen were slightly injured, and the advance of the large army was not hindered at all.
The only thing that can cause damage is the high-speed armor-piercing arrows shot from the arrow tower. These arrows, which use heavy winches, can easily penetrate shields and heavy armor.
But the disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, the loading speed and number of shots are far inferior to those of archers.
With almost no serious losses, the Dread Spearmen had already charged to the gap in the city wall, and the first wave of troops had already charged up.
The most outstanding system among the dark elves is the military dukedom system.
An ordinary dark elf with no status or position can be the first to kill the enemy in a siege.
You only need to accumulate a few heads to quickly rise in status.
After killing ten people, you can be promoted to team leader, and after killing one hundred people, you can be promoted to Naggaroth noble.
Almost all Dread Lords started out as a basic spearman, rising to the top step by step relying on their own strength and the blood of their enemies.
They had no fear at all and charged towards the gap in the city wall without hesitation.
Now it's Izeki's turn to start working.
"No, the intersection is too narrow to use the Wind of Magic. Besides, there are mages among the dark elves. If I use magic, they will definitely take advantage of me."
With such a statement, it was possible to easily stay out of the situation and leave the fortress defenders without magical powers to rely on, just like most of the imperial fortresses.
However, the dark elves will not limit themselves, they can certainly use magic.
A strange magical energy penetrated every Dread Spearman on the front line, and they felt something was rapidly draining their strength.
Before either side could react, this magic suddenly formed, and terrible magic explosions erupted from around every Dread Spearman.
The huge impact force even expanded the scope of the collapse of the city wall once again, and the high elf troops that had originally surrounded it were blown away in an instant, and most of them died.
This is the most terrifying magic of the dark elves, which draws the physical strength of every soldier and gathers together a huge explosion with a small range but extremely terrible damage.
The explosion completely annihilated the High Elves' troops that had been sent to block the gap, and the exhausted Dread Spearmen quickly retreated, to be replaced by the newly added Witch Elves.
"The city wall has been lost! We need to retreat to the second line of defense!"
Because the gap in the city wall had been completely destroyed and there were no high elf troops nearby, the dark elves had already controlled the gap, and other troops were rushing in at the fastest speed.
In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, the high elves at other locations on the city walls had no choice but to obey orders and begin to retreat in an orderly manner.
Since the first line of defense could not be held, we had to rely on the arrow towers and defense depth inside the fortress to block the attacks of the dark elves.
But at this moment, a very terrible piece of bad news reached the ears of every high elf soldier.
The supply point caught fire, and all the supplies disappeared in an instant. They now had no supplies to build arrow towers and defensive facilities.
