Chapter 1059. What is fire suppression?
“For the Emperor!!!”
Amidst the war roars, the guards soldiers had firm eyes, clenching the crystal iron war spears in their hands and facing the green-skinned soldiers who were charging forward. Stab together!
In an instant, the spear was stained with blood!
Soldiers from both sides quickly fought together, and a battle broke out.
At this moment, Zhou Xu, who was at the rear of the battle formation, confirming the battle situation and directing the battle, couldn't help but feel a strong sense of joy in his heart.
Fortunately, Zhou Chongshan defended the canyon pass with all his strength and did not let it fall into the hands of the greenskins.
This natural environment that is easy to defend but difficult to attack provides them with a huge advantage as the defender at this moment.
After the previous battle deprived the opponent of the ogre as a weapon to break the situation, they now only need to rely on a small number of troops to block the entrance with a spear formation, and can resist it relatively easily. Offensive from greenskin troops.
Under night, the greenskin troops launched several rounds of offensives, but they were all pushed back with spear formations.
Limited by the space at the entrance to the canyon, the greenskin's troop advantage on the opposite side cannot be used at all at this moment.
Zhou Xu originally thought that the greenskins, who had seen the situation clearly, would choose to retreat temporarily.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for them. After all, their current state is not very good, and the main follow-up reinforcements have not arrived yet, and they do not want to fight with the opponent at all.
However, what Zhou Xu didn’t expect was that this wave of green-skinned troops on the opposite side didn’t know which tendon was wrong, and they were stunned and refused to retreat! The entire offensive has no intention of stopping!
This situation made Zhou Xu frown.
Earlier, if you had told him that these greenskins were all one-celled single-celled organisms and had no idea how to write the word "retreat", he might still believe it.
But through the battle last night, Zhou Xu undoubtedly confirmed personally that the greenskins on the opposite side actually had brains. At least the Goblin Wolf Cavalry had brains, and they also knew how to retreat.
So what's going on now?
It’s impossible to be stimulated and lose your memory, right?
While his thoughts were whirling, standing in the canyon, Zhou Xu tried to figure out what the other person was thinking, assuming that the other person had a brain.
In this situation, what is the purpose of letting the opponent continue to launch strong attacks when it is clear that the attack is unfavorable?
Following this train of thought, Zhou Xu quickly thought of a possibility.
【Is it because of the mantra spell? 】
【In the previous battle, in order to stabilize the situation and force the opponent back, we frequently used various mantra methods. 】
【The green skin on the opposite side most likely knows the mantra method. 】
[Due to the state of affairs at that time, there was no pursuit at all. I am afraid that it was not timid at this step. The opponent now believed that our mantra power had reached the bottom and did not want to give us time to recover, so they wanted to capture the canyon pass before that. ? 】
At this moment, the more Zhou Xu thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was correct.
Thinking about it now, it was really because there was no flaw in pursuing Lu at that time.
But there was nothing that could be done. Given the situation at that time, how could they still have the energy to pursue? It would be nice to be able to force the greenskin troops back.
【What to do now? 】
Maintaining his calm expression, Zhou Xu controlled his bad mood and fell into deep thought.
【Cast a wave of mantra spells to deceive the opponent? Let the opponent feel that they have made a mistake in judgment, and continuing to attack will only lead to greater casualties, and make them retreat in spite of difficulties? 】As soon as this thought arose, Zhou Xu threw it into the trash can.
Anyway, if it were him, he would definitely not retreat if the opponent made such a move.
After all this effort, I bet that the power of the opponent's mantra has bottomed out, and he is struggling to his death.
After all, this idea has been confirmed, so we must fight to the end. If we hesitate to fight in the middle of the fight, then all the previous military strength will be in vain?
In this way, instead of casting another wave of mantra spells at this point in time, it is better to save the power of mantra and wait for the lizardman troops to arrive, and then launch a counterattack in one go! It's better than giving it away for free at this time.
The conclusion made Zhou Xu feel even heavier.
Assuming that the opponent's thinking is consistent with his, then in this wave, the opponent will never retreat easily. What they need to face next will be a tough battle!
There is no other way. There are so many things in this world that you cannot control. If you encounter them, you can only bite the bullet and hold on to the end!
Generally speaking, the rhythm of the entire offensive and defensive battle is relatively stable.
Although the fight between the two sides was fierce, it was difficult for any accident to happen.
To put it bluntly, they are consuming each other crazily to see who can withstand it first.
In this regard, Zhou Xu, who had checked the battle situation a few times, simply handed over the command to the commander of the Imperial Guards, letting him take command, and asked Zhou Chongshan to watch from the side, while Zhou Xu himself Quickly step aside and continue meditating to recover.
As an important part of the combat power at the canyon pass, the top priority is to meditate and recover quickly. How can you keep wasting the opponent?
Maintaining a state like this, this offensive and defensive battle lasted from late night to dawn.
Although the soldiers of the Imperial Guard are also elites from all armies, they cannot withstand the fierce offensive of the green-skinned troops.
After the fight, Zhou Chongshan had no choice but to just watch from the side. He directly summoned dozens of soldiers trapped in the camp who were still capable of fighting, put on spear weapons, and joined the rotation.
The soldiers trapped in the camp are all selected from the best. In addition, they practice martial arts all year round. Although their physical fitness is not as good as that of warriors in the Hundred Refining Realm, it is not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers.
During this period, the elf knights headed by Silk were not idle either, and also came over to lend a hand.
Once the frontline troops are unable to support themselves, or if the opponent finds a flaw during the rotation, the elf knights headed by Silk will immediately use 'Wind Slash' to greet them!
Use this simplest and crudest killing method to forcibly contain the offensive of the greenskin troops.
They originally thought that the greenskins would retreat after dawn.
I never thought that the other person had no such intention at all.
"Fuck! Are these guys crazy?! Do they really want to fight us to the death?!"
At this moment, under tremendous psychological pressure, coupled with physical and mental fatigue, many soldiers couldn't help but curse.
This state lasted until close to noon.
The attack of the greenskin troops continues, but new variables are ushering in at the canyon pass...
The five hot air balloons flew over the canyon so steadily, coming Arriving above the greenskin troops.
Without waiting for the reaction of the green skins below, barreled objects were dropped from the air, and exploded the moment they hit the ground!
That loud noise seemed to have opened the curtain of a new era!
The terrifying explosion impact instantly blew the green-skinned soldiers in the area into pieces!
"It's time for you to see what suppression fire means!"
