Chapter 476 [0471] A Battle Full of Twists and Turns

The arrival of Silas seemed to be the spark that ignited the powder keg, making the situation in Silverjord a bit strange this winter.

Winter's Claw finally figured out the reason why the past raids on Avarosa always failed, and relied on Silas to disguise himself as Avarosa reinforcements to lure the defenders in the stronghold away from the defenses of the city wall. Avoid siege warfare, which they are not good at.

Under the influence of the information gap, Sejuani led her team to penetrate Avarosa's defense system in one battle and forcefully ran over the Newskala Pass.

Compared with the Freljord people's "whole family, young and old" style of fighting in the past, Sejuani, who led the Winter's Claw warriors, undoubtedly used the skill of quick soldiers to the extreme.

After crossing the Nyuskara Pass, the warriors of Winter's Claw relied on the amazing endurance of the Juvask wild boar to run at a forced march speed that could only be achieved by one person with two horses or even three people with three horses in other places. The army made an assault and set off lightly, heading straight for Frost Harbor, intending to bring a greeting from the Winter's Claw to Avarosa!

If it were any other tribe, and they were dealt such a blow by Winter's Claw, they would probably be completely beheaded.

But Avarosa is different.

After receiving the news, Ai Xi remained calm in the face of danger. While gathering troops and asking allied tribes to stand behind the strongholds of the city walls and waiting for reinforcements, he led the most elite team, all of whom were of Ice blood, to take the initiative and began to harass Lin along the way. Winter Claw's team!

Because they are more familiar with the terrain, Ashe and her elite team can always lurk as close as the Winter Claw commandos want, and then rely on the favorable terrain to carry out small-scale attacks. Under Ashe's command, this This kind of attack sometimes occurs in the early morning and dusk, sometimes in the middle of the night. It does not have to cause much damage, but it does not require people to feel at ease.

On the thousand-mile ice field from Nyuskara Pass to Ningshuang Port, the Winter Claw warriors, who were outnumbered, discovered for the first time that snow could actually talk!

Calculating the manpower, the damage this team can cause each time is not too great, but just as Ashe hoped, their presence made the originally high-morale Winter's Claw warriors nervous and slow in action. down.

The Juvask wild boar could still run every day, but the people sitting on the wild boar's back became panicked, and the situation of the battle began to change.

After discovering that Ashe personally led the team to follow and harass, Udyr immediately requested a retreat - he had seen a similar situation in Ionia, and how the Noxian army was harassed by the Navoli Brotherhood. He knows it very well.

However, Sejuani, who always respected him and valued his opinions, insisted that the warriors of Winter's Claw move faster.

"Ashe wants to use this method to slow us down!" Sejuani said firmly in front of the bonfire, "But at the same time, this also means that she has finally left her lair!"

"But this is meaningless, we can't catch her in the mountains!" Udyr frowned, "We are not familiar with the mountains and rivers here. Even if she leaves the thick wall, we can't catch her. Cunning mouse!"

"But the mice always come home!" Sejuani's eyes were firm. "She will never give up on Frostport. Without Ashe personally taking charge, Frostport will be very fragile!"

Almost at the same time, in a cave leeward of a mountain col, Ashe also conveyed his belief in victory to the most elite soldiers around him.

"The Claws of Winter can't hold on any longer." Although the lack of rest made Ashe's mental state very bad, she was still energetic and confident in front of the soldiers. "Their movement speed has been reduced. A lot, and their morale is no longer high. They can’t even transport the supplies they collected west of the Nueskara Pass! As long as we drag on, victory will definitely belong to us!”

"Since we found them and followed them, these marauders have never been able to find new food and supplies. They don't have much to eat now!"

"If this continues, they will kill their own mounts to satisfy their hunger, and by then, no matter how strong the warrior is, they will eventually be annihilated by the cruel Breath of Anivia!"

……………………

Winter's Claw is still advancing, and Avarosa is still harassing.

This kind of battle situation, which is almost "you fight yours and I fight mine", has been going on for seven days.

Sejuani is still leading the forced march. She plans to reorganize and destroy the ship in a place that is one to two days away from the Frost Harbor. Then she will travel day and night, relying on the maneuverability of the Juvask wild boar, and rush directly to Ai. I hope to arrive at Ningshuang Port and launch a siege before returning reinforcements!

Although it is a pity that Silas did not steal Ashe's power and could not pretend that Ashe was defeated and let Ningshuang Port collapse without a fight, but without Ashe's command, Ningshuang Port would probably not be able to hold on to their mother's fate. return.

Sejuani believed that in just one morning or afternoon, the outstanding warriors of Winter's Claw would board the city of Frost Harbor and occupy the city!

Because a tribe without a war mother would not be able to fight for a long time!

On the other side, Ashe firmly believes that if the Demacians in the south can use the tactics of clearing the country and defending the city, then so can we Avarosans!

Although the city walls of Frost Harbor are not as tall as Fosbarrow's, they are still enough to stop the Winter's Claw raiders!

When people are killed, they will die. As long as they stand on the city wall, even an untrained furnace owner can easily kill a battle-hardened warrior.

With their own harassment and containment outside, the Winter Claw cannot get supplies; with warriors relying on the city walls for defense, the Winter Claws will inevitably fail even if they have more people and stronger warriors.

After all, this is the West Freljord subcontinent. Here, Avarosa can afford to delay, but the Winter Claw cannot!

One is a thousand-mile raid, and the soldiers are fast.

The other is harassment in the snow, and the focus is on tiring the enemy.

After a fight, Sejuani and Ashe both found each other's weaknesses, and the two war mothers chose to show their cards at the same time.

In the freezing cold of Anivia's Breath, heavy snow fell.

Less than 200 miles away from Frost Harbor, the Winter Claw team stopped as usual and started to eat.

This time, under Sejuani's order, they took out all the food, killed Enuk, who was not in such a good state in the team, and held a bonfire party of amazing scale.

Then, just when Ashe, who was watching them from afar, felt something was wrong, this huge team did not rest as before, but took the initiative to leave the warm and bright campfire, urging the increasingly impatient Juvask boars to set off again in the dark.

Ashe, who discovered the problem, immediately led the team to return for help, but even if they were more familiar with the nearby terrain, the two legs of this elite team were destined to not be able to outrun the four legs of the Juvask boars, and Sejuani took the lead in this decisive battle.

After a night of marching, at dawn, Sejuani finally saw Frost Harbor from afar.

Even if Ashe reacted immediately and took a shortcut back immediately, it would probably be noon by the time she led the team back.

And this morning will decide the fate of the two tribes.

……………………

Although she just closed her eyes for a while on the back of Steelmane, Sejuani's mental state was surprisingly good.

The height of the walls of Frost Harbor exceeded her expectations, and the thickness was a bit abnormal. Although it seemed that it was no longer feasible to directly drive the Juvask boars to attack the walls, the panicked expressions of the Avarosans on the walls still made her feel good.

"Call that Silas over!" she shouted excitedly, "Who will bring a bow and lend him some power of ice blood, and let him shoot an arrow on the top of the city!"

According to Sejuani's request, Silas drew his bow and arrow, and used all his strength to shoot an arrow on the top of the city.

Just when the Avarosan defenders were about to laugh at the opponent's poor shooting skills, large pieces of ice spread where Silas shot.

At the same time, under the city wall, the warriors of Winter Claw shouted in unison.

"Ashe is dead!"

The shouting under the city wall caused the defenders of Frost Harbor to waver significantly. Although someone quickly pulled out the arrow and confirmed that it was not the magic arrow used by Ashe, Sejuani took this opportunity to decisively order the warriors of Winter Claw to attack.

Although they did not have professional siege equipment, the warriors of Winter Claw rushed to the city wall as soon as possible, and then threw a large number of ropes to the top of the city wall with the momentum of the charge, and then began to climb.

On the Frost Harbor side, after a panic, the warriors on the city wall quickly fought back - a few warriors who could use True Ice weapons directly began to cut the ropes soaked in animal and vegetable fats, while the warriors who did not have True Ice weapons and could not cut the ropes in a short time waited for the opportunity to climb up with shields.

Behind these front-line warriors, more warriors in the second line who did not engage the enemy used weapons such as slings and began to launch long-range attacks under the city wall.

Although this battle was primitive in terms of siege equipment and defense equipment, in terms of the intensity of the battle, even the Battle of Mourngate between Demacia and Noxus could not compare to this Battle of Frost Harbor.

The extreme weather in Freljord and the magical Anivia's Breath made ordinary war equipment unusable. In extreme climates, even steel would become fragile and brittle.

But this did not prevent the attackers and defenders from making the most of the existing conditions to create as much trouble as possible for each other.

As for the Claw of Winter, Sejuani, wielding the North Wind Flail, personally led the assault and almost occupied a section of the city wall in the second climb - and there were more than 20 Iceborn warriors like her who were capable of changing the local situation on their own.

But even so, the Avarosans still held the city wall tightly - just as Ashe had planned, the towering city wall greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the defenders, and even an ordinary stone thrown from the city wall was enough to cause a person to bleed.

In the battle to defend the city, Avarosa's large number of archers brought huge casualties to the Winter Claw. These archers arranged on the city walls and towers took advantage of the high-altitude shooting and easily penetrated the Winter Claw warriors' defense, which was not much. After a round of arrows, even the bravest warriors had to retreat temporarily.

During this period, Sejuani also tried to lead the team to attack the tower directly, but even without Ashe's personal command, the few remaining elites of Avarosa were arranged near the tower. In addition, the archers' close-range shooting, even if Sejuani led the charge personally, it was impossible to take it down in one go.

In less than two hours, the Winter Claw army launched three large-scale charges, but the towering walls of Frost Harbor still stood.

When the sky was bright, seeing that the surprise attack had failed, Sejuani simply deployed the team completely and began to attack Frost Harbor from three sides. She took the elite warriors and waited for an opportunity, gathering strength while waiting for the flaws on the city wall.

As long as the enemies on any section of the city wall wavered, Sejuani would lead the team to launch a fatal attack.

On the city wall, the Avarosa warriors who had not experienced many actual battles in the past were also a little confused by this sudden high-intensity battle - Avarosa's peaceful rise was not without battles, but such a strong opponent had never been seen.

In addition, Ashe took away the most elite warriors. Although the defenders on the city wall still had a considerable advantage, their morale was not high at all, and their spirits began to become tense.

As Sejuani believed, Ashe's new Avarosa was indeed "a group of weak people huddled together for warmth". They were very united, but that was when Ashe was around.

Even though they knew that if Frost Harbor fell, their hard work would be ruined; even though they knew that behind them was the tribe's last base camp with all their tribesmen, these Avarosa warriors would still be afraid and shrink back.

A rookie who had not experienced many battles could not be compared with a veteran who had been through many battles. Even the gifted Lux ​​performed extremely poorly in her first simulated training against beetles.

Therefore, even with the advantage of the city wall, the situation of this battle began to gradually tilt in the direction that Sejuani expected.

Finally, when the sun rose completely and the heavy snow stopped for a while, the cruel death on the north wall of Frost Harbor made the defenders waver.

Sejuani, who was keenly aware of this, launched a surprise attack without hesitation, and rushed to the city wall with the reserve troops that had been ready for a long time.

This time, a section of the city wall was finally taken down in one go.

Then, before Sejuani, who had stood firmly on the wall, could breathe a sigh of relief and send people to open the city gate, a shrill eagle cry resounded throughout the battlefield.

Along with the eagle cry, there was also a crystal clear, spear-like magic arrow, which shot from the mountain northeast of Frost Harbor and exploded into an ice flower on the top of the city.

Ashe... is back!

Kalya's small class: The erosion of the breath of Anivia:

In Freljord, the magic brought by the breath of Anivia makes many common things in other places unusable, such as ordinary steel, which will quickly become extremely fragile without special enchantments.
